Summary
Alucard has a dream about his defeat at the hands of Abraham Van Helsing, while Sir Integra holds a Round Table conference to report her findings regarding the current wave of vampire attacks, vampire brothers Jan and Luke Valentine launch a covert sneak attack on the Hellsing compound with the help of a ghoul army outfitted with military gear and small arms. Almost all of the Hellsing soldiers are killed in the process and turned into ghouls before Alucard, Seras and Walter C. Dornez are able to turn the tide.

Prologue
Transylvania, 1890s. Struck down and defeated by a group of vampire hunters, lies Dracula sitting on a tomb; an act that was done by Abraham Van Helsing as he awaits for his foe to wake up. Until Professor Helsing once again drive a Wooden Stake to the Count's heart, he is to be awaken. With face bloodied and battered, Dracula finally awakes at the sight of Van Helsing, and asked if he is defeated, to which, Van Helsing confirms that he is so.

Yet, there is no such thing as a never ending nightmare, Van Helsing proclaims. Boasting as how the Count's servant, dominions, castle is gone; even the wafer mark on her neck has disappeared, eternally. "She will never be yours," Van Helsing says. Charging his arm up, Van Helsing slams his hand down to the stake, which then pierced deeper onto Dracula's heart; before then he bleeds and was caught by Van Helsing in the neck, who then mocks him for his futile attempt in taking one's another for himself.

However, that was all nothing but a dream as Alucard awakes in his domain whilst sitting on his throne, however; with a cry of blood. Surprised that he had dreamed about something, Alucard takes a look on his hand which shows a blood; noticing that he himself had also cried. Not believing that he could dream of something, Alucard ignores it all and calls it "utter nonsense." Only then the wine on the table trips and spills, writing out the word "Hellsing" as the title card appears.

Plot
Present day, 1999, outskirts of London inside the Hellsing Manor. A Round Table meeting is being held by Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing under suspicions about the vampire activities rising each day, and the founding of a chip inside a vampire's brain. Sir Hugh Irons asked Integra if something quite significant has been happening recently if a meeting must be held, to which Sir Integra confirms. Other round table members are suspicious about the recent rise of vampire acitivites.

Until then Sir Integra pulls out a transmitter found while thoroughly searching a body of specific vampires. Informing them that they were embedded in multiple places on all their conditions, mental states, and battles, members of the Round Table is shocked to hear this. Under suspicions that an organization with malicious intent is creating these vampires, Sir Integra suspects that they must know well about the process of creations of vampires and ghouls; just like them.

Within the levels of two floors below the meeting, the basement, Seras Victoria asks Walter C. Dornez about the coffin he had placed on the floor, and where the bed among other things are. Walter however, informs Victoria that under the orders of Sir Integra, he had disposed of them because they can't have a vampire who doesn't sleep in a coffin. Upon hearing this, Victoria screams out her lungs and grinds her teeth. However, she stopped as soon as she was informed that Alucard had ordered so as well.

They were however, interrupted by Alucard while talking about how Victoria hadn't drink a single drop of blood since she had become a vampire. Entering in, Alucard calls Seras an "imbecile" while reminding her that she had chosen the night, and that there's no turning back from her own decisions of doing so. While Walter walks towards the table placed against the wall, Alucard walks towards a nervous Seras Victoria. Grabbing the case on the table, Walter tells Alucard that he has something to show him.

Walking up towards the table, Alucard opens the case and is immediately pleased at the sight of his brand new gun that he had requested to Walter previously. Introducing him to the Jackal, Walter states that it's the first pistol to use its own custom bullets unlike the Casull. Alucard states that it's perfect, to which, Walter is pleased to hear. Almost forgetting something, Walter tells Seras that he has something to show her too, at Seras' delightment.

But at the sight of her brand new gun, the Hallconnen, which itself is a large cannon, Victoria is taken aback by how massive it is and once again, screams out her lungs. Outside, the Valentine Brothers which consists of Luke and Jan Valentine walks towards the mansion with a bus outside. Stopped by the guard, they both tries to reassure the guards that they are just here for a tour, until then the guard is suspicious of them Luke disposes of them.

Stunned with the sudden attack, the second guard sees the bus far back reveals multiple SMGs through the window, which he is soon fired by after Jan Valentine had snapped his fingers after a short moment of mocking him along with his older brother, Luke. Ordering them to stop, the gate completely destroyed. Jan complains that the ghouls are idiots, however Luke smirks and says that its a test. Soon after, both orders The Valentine Brothers' Ghoul Army to stride forward along with him towards the manor.

Valentine Brothers Raid
Upon the brothers entering the mansion, the light within the room of the conference flicks inconsistently; panicking the members inside. On the phone, Integra is informed that an enemy had attacked the manor directly. Asking who the prepetrators are, she is soon horrified by the information that the enemy they were attacked from, are ghouls; leaving the members of the conference speechless, scared, and terrified.

At the hallway, the Military Forces tries their best to hold off the army, until then they were soon incapacitated and killed by Jan Valentine; who relentlessly does so. In the middle of the hallway, Jan proceeds to shoot up (front), down (back), left and right simultaneously; mimicking the Konami cheat code as states that there's only one invincible motherfucker and it's him. Luke Valentine, upon feeling a mysterious aura on one of the hallway proceeds to depart ways with his little brother.

Back at the conference meeting room, they were planning to go on the helipad. An explosion up on the roof was heard, and the conference was informed that, that's the sound of the helicopter exploding. The security officer was then heard screaming, leaving Integra concerned. But then, Jan interferes and welcomes the people at the Round Table Conference sarcastically. Jan introduces themselves as the Valentine Brothers, and himself formally as the younger brother.

While playing with a head of one of the Hellsing members, Jan thanks them for providing them food, and tells them that their precious members are going to be turned into ghouls also, and that they're coming after them to kill them. As Integra bites onto her mouth, making it bleed in a fit of rage; Jan mocks the members before dropping off. With the phone, Sir Integra proceeds to call onto the basement, in which Walter, Alucard and Seras is in.

Picking up the phone, Walter says that he has a grasp of what is going on outside, while telling them to fortify the entrance. Walter then tells Sir Integra that he will get there via the ventilation shaft. Angered by what they did, Sir Integra orders Walter to not give them mercy for what they did, to which, Walter says that he does not plan to do so. Alucard is then excited that he will see the true nature of Walter again after a long time.

Laughing, Alucard then goes on teleporting to his own basement while Walter and Seras heads to the conference room.

As Luke Valentine walks through the hallway, inspecting the many paintings on the wall; he was soon suspicious of a specific painting. Right then and there, multiple spears tears through the painting and heads its way towards Luke, who hastily dodges the attack. The Hellsing members comes out of hiding and smirks at the sight of Luke's body. But before then, one of the members was killed without a moment to notice. At the sight of this, one of the members fires in a moment of panic as Luke dodges before killing him too in a second.

Soon, Luke is faced with the forces. As they all relentlessly shoot at Luke, who proceeds to dodges all the barrage of bullets sent swiftly and until then, he simultaneously cuts them all of while looking like he had just stayed in the middle of the circle of Hellsing forces. After doing so one more, multiple of the body parts of the forces were sliced off. In the middle of taking a breath to calm down, Luke is called upon by Jan, who tells Luke that they had already taken over the first and second floor.

The Battle
Luke tells him to proceed accordingly and don't let his guard down while opening a mirror that reveals a secret passage through a basement. Only then Luke ends the call and enters it, while asking what Alucard could do. Making a loud entrance to the room, Luke states that even if he (Alucard) hides, he (Luke) can still sense his powerful aura. Only then he is met by Alucard sitting comfortably on his throne stating that he doesn't hide nor run; he was just getting tired of waiting.

Slowly walking towards Alucard, Luke bows in front of him and introduces himself to Alucard, whom he said that he had previously admired and worshipped. Luke claims that he had previously heard many of Alucard's nickname up until now a number of times in his mission, one of which claims that he's an immortal. Amused, Alucard states that one of the nickname, which claims that he is immortal, is simply nothing but rubbish, and that there's no such thing as a "true immortal."

Luke agrees, and that's the reason why he wants to prove so by defeating and killing Alucard; stating that the legend of his immortality ends today. Up until then, a glass of wine drops; but before it does so, Luke pulls out his gun and charges straight towards Alucard; pointing his M1 Garand to his head while Alucard pulls out his Casull and aims at Luke's head also. As the glass drops to the floor and shatters, both pulls the trigger and are struck backwards; with Luke dropping to the floor. Although both goes down with a smile.

Laughing and giggling, Alucard is met with a similar response of that to his by Luke, who proceeds to pulls out another M1 Garand from his suit before Alucard could do so as well; shooting him multiple times before getting up and is met with a barrage of bullets sent by Alucard's Casull, to which he dodges swiftly. In the middle of so, Luke states that he isn't anything like the instant vampires he have fought before. Then, Luke once again charges towards Alucard and points his Casull to his head, screaming "checkmate."

But, he is shocked to see that Alucard had placed his Casull to Luke's heart; which would've been a killing blow, so Luke backs off and dodges another hail of bullets sent by Alucard. But then, one of the shots surprised him; which is sent by Alucard's new weapon, the Jackal which blows off a wall from Luke's back.

Trivia

 * The fight between Luke Valentine and Alucard contains a continuity error, showing Luke taking a shot from the Jackal to the head. In the manga, he was shot in the face by the Casull and to the legs by the Jackal, this was fixed in the Blu-ray remaster of the volume done by Madhouse (who also animated episode 5-7). In the HD version on Blu-ray, Alucard now begins the fight with Luke using the Casull.
 * While the continuity error of the Jackal and the Casull was remastered in the Blu-ray version, Alucard's gloves still have the Hellsing-pentagram on them in the opening scene with Dracula and Abraham Van Helsing, despite the fact this was also a continuity error of the original version.
