Synopsis
Putting a stop to their massacre of London, every one of Alucard's familiars immediately goes to their location in case any danger happens to their master. Seras and Integra watches as the Trump Cards two dukes it out in an intense battle to the death. After a brief speech by Anderson and now, a staredown; soon suddenly, Anderson leaps and strikes at the Count- only for the Impaler to again, parry Anderson's slashes with his broadsword. Now, again being pushed to the back by the Count who keeps on parrying his attacks as flurry of bible pages burns in the midst of their battle, the Count smiles- stating that Anderson is something else, and the training he did, only to defeat a single vampire is superb for a man.

Now, putting his sword down and shrouded in darkness with light only going through his cape and right eye, the Voivode of Wallachia demands his rival to come and kill him- come and pierce his heart with Anderson's bayonets; just like five hundred years ago, like a hundred years ago; put an end to the interstice of this- that's his dream, Vlad Dracula stated as he calls the man in front of him, a beloved mortal foe. Grinning and readying his bayonets, Anderson gives the Voivode a pleasing response- "You don't even need to say it," to which, Dracula responds back by smiling manically while putting his broadsword in the middle, ready to battle it out once again.

Anderson then once again tries to go on offensive, rushing at the Count as bible pages flew due to the wind caused by Anderson charging forward at his nemesis- only for Anderson to leap backwards, and pull out 3 bayonets on both of his hands, throwing them with such strength as it turns into a a strike of neon light- like a thunder striking.

In response of getting totally fooled because he thought that Anderson would instead attack him directly, Dracula uses his cape as a shield and turns back into his "Count" form- holding out both of his pistols, he shoots all of the bayonets; shattering them with precise aiming, much to Anderson's disappointment. "Pure Macedonium Silver Casings, Mercury-tipped Marvel Chemicals N.N.A.9... 39cm long, 16kg, 13mm Armor-Piercing Explosive Rounds," Alucard said to introduce Anderson to his "new" pistol- the Jackal, then he states about how perfect it is, mentioning Walter C. Dornez, its creator. Without any care about Alucard's new weapon and/or the possibility of getting hit by it, Anderson then proceeds to once again- charge at Alucard, pulling out two bayonets from his sleeves and strikes at Alucard, to which, Alucard responds back by shooting with the Casull, and seeing that Anderson had fell to his trap by blocking with his arms; Alucard switches to the Jackal, which he hid in the back, he only managed to blow away the left arm of Anderson's elbow, as Anderson then in the sight of the "Jackal," quickly opens his guard.

Suppressing his pain by hissing simultaneously, Anderson strides forward and slashes Alucard multiple times in the torso, only for all of the slashes be meat shielded by Alucard's horde of familiars, much to Anderson's dismay as Alucard bounces off of the spot and to on top of a rock way back, guarded by his army of familiars including that of the Wallachian Chivalry.

As Anderson stares at Alucard's horde of familiars much to his dismay and horror, all his effort and strength only led to this- he was suddenly stricken by a magical bullet coming from Rip Van Winkle's musket, and a group of playing cards from Tulbacain Alhambra.

Breathing heavily in and out, bleeding from top to bottom and massive blood pouring out of Anderson's torso due to the injury caused by both of former Millennium's Werewolves, and also not to mention the hole in his left arms elbow, Alucard questions Anderson about what he's gonna do now that he's lost body parts, got critically injured and bleeding profusely; announcing that the monster's right there and calling him a "Catholic", question his chances of defeating him (one in a thousand, one in a ten thousand? A billion, trillion or maybe Quadrillion?), Anderson instead confidently and with the voice of those determined to truly achieve something, responds back that even if it's a novemdecillion, it'd be fair than enough for him...
