3 Chapter 3 - Attack in Cheddar. (1/2)
After twenty minutes, the squad car arrives at the surroundings around the church. As Seras and Simon along with Eddie who is also apart of her squad, get out of the car, she notices the tent that Integra and Walter arrive at to talk down to the chief. Seras smiles a little knowing that the pudgy man will get a nice talking down to from another woman while waiting for said commanding officer to arrive.
'Did I just think another woman? God I really combined with the bumbling Seras Victoria. Hmmm....I wonder who the main personality is?' She sighs as she thinks of her decreasing intelligence.
'Hopefully I'm able to be as ruthless as I wanted in my previous life when I'm a vampire.' She gets snapped out of her thoughts by an obnoxious yell.
”Squads, Are you ready?”
'Of course we are you fat asshole. We Waited 30 minutes for you to show up when you said it would only take 5. I really wish I could kill you where you stand, but that would change too much. Oh? Wait.....couldn't I just kill him and then transport myself back in time with my ability?' She thinks while a delightful smile graces her face.
”””””Yes sir!”””””
'SHIT! I don't know how it works....Fucking hell, you get off this time fatso.' She angrily grits her teeth while he speaks again.
”Ok it is now 1900, this means that dusk is approaching. This can help that fake priest in escaping, so we're going to be dividing the squads into 2 seperate forces. One is going to lead the attack into the church and the other is going to be setting up a perimeter. We have a total of 16 squads here, so squads 1-8 will be attacking, and squads 9-16 will be setting up the perimeter, is this understood!?”
”””””Yes!”””””
”Damn it, why did we have to be in squad 8? Just barely having to actually do some work!” Eddie complains.
”Shut up Eddie! Do you know what this man has done? He deserves to die for his sins.”
”No! You shut up Simon! Do you know how many people are going to be attacking a lone man, 8 squads, that's 40 people! Why is the chief worried about this?” Eddie replies.
”Well, it could be that there is not just one man in the church, what if he has helpers with weapons?” Seras asks with a knowing smile which replaces her earlier frown.
”What? Why would you think that?” Simon asks.
”Well on our way here, didn't you notice that the town seemed a little desolate? I mean there wasn't even a single person walking around.”
”Yeah, that's true, but couldn't that just be because there's a homicidal maniac of a priest lurking about? Wait...You don't think that the whole town is in on it, do you? That's insanity!” Eddie inquires after a lengthy bit of babbling nonsense.
”No, I don't think they're willingly helping him out.”
”Then what do you....”
”Simon, Eddie, Seras! Go with your squad, what the hell do you think you're doing!?” The leader of Squad 9 yells at them.
”””Yes sir!”””
As the sun is setting, all 8 squads are surrounding the church, the chief sends an order that 2 squads are to enter the church, until the man is caught. While the others are to stay sharp and make sure he doesn't escape.
As the order gets passed down, squads 1 and 2 enter the church. For a few seconds gun fire sounds and then the laughter of a man sounds out.
”Squad 1! Squad 2! What happened!? sitrep!” All the man got was static in return.
”Squads 3 and 4 enter!”
”Hahahahahaha” a maniacal laughter sounds out and then the same thing happen again for squads 5 and 6.
”What the fuck is happening. Did all 6 squads just die? How is that even possible!?” Eddie yells in disbelief.
”Hey man, don't be stuck in a stupor for long, we're next!” Simon says with a smile.
”How can you still be smiling, we're going to die!” Eddie yells.
”Then we'll die doing the right thing. That's all I can ask for.”
”Fine, fuck! Let's do this.” He yells to psych himself up.
As soon as Eddie says that, All three of them goto the entrance and await for the others.
”Where the fuck are they!? Did the abandon us?”
”Probably, not everyone has iron balls like us. Even Seras has bigger ones than them.”
As Simon says that Seras blushes and yells shut up.
”So it's 3 of us against a man that can take down 6 squads by himself. Doesn't look to good for us, does it?” Eddie says with a forced grin to his otherwise horrified face.
”Oh god Eddie, what is that face!? Hahahaha! You look so funny!” Seras laughs happily despite the situation.
”Shut up! I'm the only normal one here, why is the teenage girl doing better than me?” Eddies wales angrily to no one in particular.
”We will just have to suck it up and do it. Dying is not so scary when you expect it.”
As Simon says this he goes to kick the door down. After that, all three of them walk in and see the back of a man holding what seems to be a very pale woman. The smell in the church is almost unbearable as it smells like multiple rotting corpses along with a thick stench of blood. It makes Seras almost vomit. As the man turns around, you can see that he has short black hair and wearing the normal priest attire, the woman's neck starts bleeding profusely. He drops the woman and gestures to the empty hall grandiosely.
After the gesture multiple corpses rise out from behind the benches and start groaning. They have orange looking eyes and sharp teeth, showing that they are no longer human. they start shambling toward the three police officers. Simon, Eddie, and Seras get into a stance and start shooting at them, when they realize that some of the corpses are the men from the squads that just went in.
”Bastards.” Simon yells.
Meanwhile outside the church, at the perimeter. The chief is talking to a woman, who looks to be in her twenties. She has very long platinum blond hair that has been styled to perfection. She is wearing a green mans suit while an older gentleman is taking her brown raincoat off of her. She has her back to the chief and he starts speaking to her in a condescending tone.
”What!? Are you really serious? I'm sorry, but could you perhaps repeat yourself one more time? Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, is it?”
The woman then begins to speak in an extremely annoyed fashion. Almost like she is angry she has to repeat herself.
”Very well. I'll start again.”
She says as she turns around and shows her perfectly crystal blue eyes underneath glasses.
”They're ghouls and the village of Cheddar has become a den of ghouls. Ghouls are the term we use, but you could call them zombie servants.” She pauses and then explains herself further.
”A ghoul is what happens to deflowered humans when they're bitten by a vampire. They're much like zombies under the control of the vampire. And that means there is a vampire somewhere in Cheddar.” She says as she lifts her hand.
The butler then take some out a silver box and opens it, revealing a bunch of well made, expensive looking cigars.
