Blutige Hochzeit

[genuine_human]

Who: The Major, Integra Hellsing, Alphonse Delacroix, Schrodinger, Rip van Winkle, the Doctor, Alucard, Amestrian officials, Church officials, and everybody else
Where: Cathedral in Imperial City
When: Nearing the end of Spring Court
What: Integra and the Major's wedding
Warnings: Hideous unions

Spring Court was a time where many couples came together for their unions. Having a wedding around this time would ensure prosperity and happiness for years to come. But not all couples were fortunate enough to be able to schedule their marriages during this week-long event. The Major's wedding with Integra Hellsing was a political union between the Church and Amestris. It wasn't a surprise that his could bypass much of the necessary bureaucratic channels. The Cathedral had seen decorations move in and out like a storm in these past weeks. And now, it was currently decorated with the colors of the Spring Court in one end as well as the colors of Amestris in another. The wedding was a public affair as personally requested by the Major himself. Anybody may enter the cathedral, talk among one another, and indulge in the comestibles set about on tables. The wedding would soon begin in time.

Char is mingling with any of the other noble guests.

"So, how drunk should I be before the service, do you suppose?" he asks lightly.

[smile_thatkills]

"If you like to sleep through this, maybe as much as you want." Wearing his army force uniform, Souji wasn't too far from Char.

[thirdtimesthechar]

"That would probably be an improvement, but I don't doubt the Major would gladly revise the program to make time to slip a knife in my ribs," Char replies.

[idkmybffalfred]

This is exactly the kind of thing Bruce had been hoping to avoid. Not only is he at a wedding, an event he's never been comfortable with, but it's the wedding of a sociopathic madman to a woman who, whatever her sins, probably doesn't deserve this. He's generally keeping to himself, and not actually drinking very much.

Holy Matrimony

[genuine_human]

[integra_hellsing]

How time flies. The time for this match made in Hell had come, and it was time to get this over with. As the music started and the doors to the Cathedral opened. Two women, younger than Integra, walked down the aisle first, pausing only to curtsy politely to the Major, and then they took their places.

Soon enough, Integra was making her way down the aisle herself, very much alone for she had no father or family members to accompany her. She had her head held up high, and looked as cool and calm as ever, as though she didn't care about this. Inwardly, though, she was a bundle of nerves; not because of the marriage, oh no. Because of what was about to happen.

Stopping in front of the Major, she had to fight the urge to narrow her eyes at him, although the expression she gave him was one that clearly read 'let's get this over with.'

[genuine_human]

The man was wider horizontally, but shorter vertically compared to Integra. While the moment at hand could not have been remotely intimate to her, to the Major, everything that was taking place was like a comedy. His lips stretched across his face and his cheeks were positively glowing. He waited up the aisle and faced Integra, caring little to hide that smile of his. Why so eager to finish this, Integra? You should savor the moment as much as you can. This is probably going to be your one and only wedding after all.

[alphonsedelacroix]

Delacroix moved to the podium, his expression grave and the miter balanced carefully on his head. In one hand he held a gold staff with a cross embedded in glowing crystal at the head, in the other, he held the Holy Bible.

As he reached the podium, he cleared his throat.

"People of Dagaria, we are gathered here today to recognize the marriage of a great house and a great nation. We join together in celebration as the House of Hellsing is tied evermore to the great Kingdom of Amestris. People of Dagaria, please stand for opening prayers."

The Groom

[genuine_human]

The bride and groom weren't allowed to see each other until the wedding started. That's why the Major was in a separate room, sitting and dressed in formal Amestrian garbs. Despite how nervous most men usually were during these large occasions, the Major was hardly that. He was comfortable, leaning back on his chair with a wide grin on his face. The man was positively ecstatic at what was to come. Everything has gone according to plan and undoubtedly, the Hellsings would act just as he wants them to.

"The time has finally come to draw the curtains up. We have prepared a show that the audience will neither expect nor forget. I cannot promise to share my life in the vows that I will soon speak. Till death do us part, however, is still quite appropriate. This will not be a union of husband and wife, but of two blood enemies.

We will kill and kill until there is only one left standing. Only then do we part. And I could not have asked for anything more than that!"

Re: The Groom

[singinghuntress]

Rip stood against the wall of the room as her Major prepared. Leaning next to her was her musket, primed and ready for her performance in this mockery of a wedding~. Yes, this would bring the bloodshed she craved, the beautiful symphony of screams!

The huntress couldn't wait for her bullets to fly, to maim and kill the many innocence in attendance~.

"I cannot vait mein Major~. Zhis opening act vill bring forth zhe greatest opera to ever cross zhe vorld stage. Und zhe bloodiest~."

The Groom

[genuine_human]

Ever loyal, ever beloved Rip.

"This is the dawn of a great age, Rip! The dawn of a global war, a war in which we will fight in two fronts: the first at the side of our Fuhrer in his path towards the throne and the second against the vampire, Alucard. A downpour of blood is but one of the things we can expect from either of our battles."

Re: The Groom

[singinghuntress]

She was estatic~! Rip listened intently to her glorious leader as she reached for her gun, cradling it and petting the barrel as he spoke. Yes, this was going to be the dawn of the greatest age this world has ever seen!

"To zhink, zhis var vill start vith zhe happiest of occassions."

The Groom

[techromancy]

Dok stands next to the Major. He looks the man over, once more, knowing that while the marriage might be a farce as the Major's best man it was clearly important to make sure he might still look his best. For the moment Dok looks satisfied with the Major's appearance, before actually bothering to smile a little.

It's an important day, after all. One that has been building, and building, and building for quite some time now as the Major has weaved the tapestry for it. A tapestry that the Major intends to set alight, but he supposes that is the Major's right and he has no right to question it. Still, he can't help but think of one thing, and his smile dips into a frown.

"Sir.

I do, ah...wish to apologize for the musicians for the wedding. I ah...was somewhat lax in getting them so I'm afraid they're a bit...charming in a rustic way."

Because of course that would be the most important thing right now.

The Groom

[genuine_human]

Dok was always one to focus on the smallest of details in his work. That was commendable! Nothing less should be expected when you're assigned with any task. Quite frankly, despite the true significance of the day, the Major didn't mind Dok having these small concerns of his. It wouldn't be right if everything before the ceremonies took place seemed "normal". Everything now was a true calm before the storm. Actually, the musicians that Dok chose did surprisingly well in conveying that. This was much preferable for the occasion than a full-blown orchestra, really. The Major gives a shrug and a glance over at the good Doctor.

"Please, don't be ridiculous. This wedding could not have turned out as well as it has without your help. Rustic, yes, but the strings of the ensemble especially capture a sense of stoic pleasantness that works perfectly as my intro. I am truly content, Dok! I could not be more content even if you commissioned a Wagner or a Weber."

Re: The Groom

[techromancy]

The Doctor allows himself a smile, a small breath of relief escaping at the Major's...well, not his praise, but his acceptance of the situation. Though he is glad to see how pleased the Major is with it, as well.

To please is what the Doctor sets out to do after all. At least most of the time.

"My thanks, sir."

He straightens himself up a bit, tugging at the corners of his own jacket, face a tight little line.

"Do you think they'll fall for it, sir?"

The Wedding Crasher! Fight the Vampire King!

[nolifeemperor]

Finally, it has come to this. The Vampire King had meditated as to how this scenario was going to go and today is the day of the ill-fated event. He mediated and fantasized under the moon, the stars, the sun, the rain, in the woods, at the bars, and wherever he can etc. It has been months and now, everything is about to unravel splendidly for this one moment.

That morning, he was prepared and ever ready for action. All dressed in his red duster, his pair of orange sunglasses, and his floppy broad-brimmed hat. His leathered black boots was brushed until it shined. His guns are locked and load. His fingers are restless.

He waited until afternoon to take the initiative. On the way to the church building where the wedding will take place, he bought a bouquet of fresh blood-red roses. The roses smelled lovely and sweet.

Once the church is close enough in his sight, he lowered down his Restrictions Seals to Level One. Level One is high enough power to be sensed by any vampire soldiers within a close-distance vicinity…if the Major invited his vampire henchmen to be as back-up guards at the wedding. Integra could also sense him coming too. The Seals Bond they shared was silent until it was humming, alive and beating like a pulse. The thread of their seals strummed like a string.

She knows she is coming. Didn’t he kept his word that he’ll come for her?

Out of his being, he summoned his familiar and totem, Baskerville, the Hellhound. The monster dog with six red eyes trailed after his monster, hungry to devour his foes into it’s abyss of its hungry belly. Also out of his being, his dark tendrils of shadows with multiple demonic red eyes.

Together, both Master and dog walked up the front steps of the church. It was way too quiet outside. The sun is still shining. The sky is clear blue without a cloud in sight. The birds are singing their song for spring. All of that changed when Alucard used his shadows to emerge the building into complete darkness. A sense of dread and horror can be felt by the guests inside.

Alucard, in this state of his power, also summoned the storm clouds and a violent torrent of rain and thunder came crashing down to symbolize the raging tempest of his wrath.

Alucard can also hear the priest officiate the wedding from the inside and is finishing up his speech. When the priest came to the part where he ask Integra, “And would you take the Major to be your lawful husband?” It was then and there that he raised his foot, kicked down the door with brute force, and the door came crashing down with a resounding smash. The wood splintered, the hinges flew, and he walked over the thick double doors to enter. When the panicky guests turned their heads toward the door, they would see a storm came pouring down, a blood-thirsty vampire carrying a bouquet of roses, and a large freakish looking hellhound.

He cannot enter through a door unless invited. All is silent as both vampire and hound waited at the door until the No Life King opened his mouth with crazed red eyes, craving for blood lust to say:

“Master! This is your vampire, your servant Alucard! I have come for you! Command me! What is your intent?”

[integra_hellsing]

Finally! Integra could feel the pull of the seals from miles away, and now that she could actually sense and hear her vampire, just waiting to start the carnage that she knew would be coming, was both a comfort and a dread.

Looking up at the doors, she turned away from Delacroix and the Major, not bothering to take a glance around at the startled wedding guests. Instead, she called out to Alucard, her voice loud, clear, and strong in it's convictions.

"Servant! Come in here at once and listen to your Master's bidding! My orders for you are clear and simple -- you are to search and destroy! SEARCH AND DESTROY! Take all of the Major's men and freaks, and those who stand in your way! DO IT NOW!"

[nolifeemperor]

Those eyes of his are that of a crazed demon. How much he wanted this. To finally have the privileged to pull the trigger of his gun and shoot and to spill the blood of both innocent and sinners alike. That crazed fanged smile and grin is plastered on his face.

"Yes, as you wish my Master."

However, he didn't block the door. This is gives at least one path for the innocents and cowards to escape.

This might be the best place to tag anyway.

[genuine_human]

The Major gives a grin at Alucard's direction. Though silent, Alucard should definitely know exactly what the Major had to say to him. "What took you so long?" Indeed, an old enemy should not keep him waiting. Looking at his own men as well as the officials of the Church, he cries out, "Well, then, there you have it, gentlemen! The Hellsings have made themselves into enemies of the Church and have pointed its sword at Amestris! They are loathsome traitors.

Shoot to kill!" Expressing more glee than ever before, the Major gives his orders. His men were all more than prepared for such an occasion. Each carried guns and swords hidden on their persons which they now aimed at Alucard, firing and charging. The Major didn't care to bring a weapon, however. Standing in the far center of the room, completely defenseless, he watches as the carnage unfolds.

[singinghuntress]

Among the many soldiers attending, the No Life King would find one that was familiar. One he had encountered recently. Rip was very much in attendance, located in a balcony over seeing the ceremony.

She felt the dread wash over her just as the shadows darkened the once cheery hall. The sound of a door crashing open signaled the start of what was going to be a beautiful symphony of bloodshed~.

With her gun loaded and ready, she took aim. Her target~ The bride to be.

[integra_hellsing]

Integra was not a fool. She knew that the Major had a few sharp shooters in his little Freak show menagerie. The most obvious place for one to be sitting would be in the balcony, naturally, and so she glanced up, eyes narrowing defiantly at Rip.

Not wasting time, the heiress kneeled down and... reached under her gown, where she'd strapped a certain antique pistol to her thigh. Standing, she immediately aimed right back at Rip, and did not hesitate to fire!

The Bride

[integra_hellsing]

Integra, thankfully, was in a room far away from the Major's. A few women flitted about, helping the bride to be into her dress and helping her put on her veil properly. They seemed pleased and cheerful, unlike the bride who remained silent and stoic for the most part.

Dismissing them, Integra turned to stare at her reflection in the mirror. She never once in her life ever thought of herself as a suitable bride for anyone, nor did she think she'd ever see herself in such an elegant gown. After today, she wouldn't have to wear one again... and that was very good.

Quietly, she dropped to her knees and placed her hands together, bowing her head and closing her eyes to say a quiet, quick prayer. Not for herself so much, but for everyone else, the innocents that would be involved.

The Great Escape!

[integra_hellsing]

Injured and having reached her physical limit, Integra decided that now was the time to bow out. Pulling herself up onto the large Hellhound's back, the great beast circled the area once more, before she turned to look at Alucard. "Continue on without me -- you know where our rendezvous point is! My orders remain the same, Servant! Do not fail me!"

With that, Baskerville took off with Integra on his back, out the large double doors of the Cathedral, to where she would meet those willing to help her escape.

[nolifeemperor]

"As you wish my Master."

No need to speak anymore. They had discussed and planned to meet up eventually in the future. Alucard must remain in the Church to clear out the trash and any opponents who stood in his way. The Hellhound will be her steed, her protector, and her guardian in Alucard's place for the remainder of her escape and journey back to Britain. What the hellhound see and feel, Alucard will see through Baskerville's red hellish eyes also.
