AlucardMy Lord and Master, Integra Hellsing! GIVE ME YOUR ORDERS!
Alucard, take heed: Here are your orders. Your silver gun shall stain the white army crimson. Your iron gun shall stain the black army scarlet. I would know my foes by the stains of red you leave upon their chests! Now, search and destroy! Search and destroy! Run them down- do not let any of them leave the island alive!
Alucard
My master... It shall be done, as you command.
Release Control Art Restriction: Zero! Announce your return- say the words, and release your full power! NOW!
Alucard
(exhales deeply) "I am... the Bird of Hermes." (on the carrier, the enchanted seals on Alucard's coffin break) Here standeth the Bird of Hermes- eating my own wings!"
It's as if everyone here can feel it... something terrible is about to happen. If we can't put this monster down... we may all be doomed.
Alucard
(finishing his incantation as he is peppered with firepower) "To keep...myself... tame." (his coffin begins to open)
(atop the Deus Ex Machina, gleefully) Here it comes- I can feel it! A mighty river; a river of death! Ze dead shall dance... and all of Hell shall sing!
(after Alucard kills both Luke Valentine and Baskerville)
You've broken my new toy... Still! I've got you cornered! This is it, Alucard!
Alucard
Yes... it's time to put an end to this dance.
(Alucard begins to disappear)
What's this?! What's happening?! Answer me!!
MMajor
It's more a question of where. (chuckles) He has absorbed the essence of Warrant Officer Schrodinger, but as you can see, zis meal isn't quite agreeing with him, is it, mein Fraulein? By drinking Schrodinger's blood, Alucard has become the paradoxical cat. He is now shackled by infinite possibility- a Cheshire, chasing its unknowable tail across the endless vista. As long as he is self-aware, he is everywhere and nowhere. But zat conundrum is now multiplied by the millions of lives and consciousnesses within Alucard. To wit, he is no longer capable of recognizing himself. 'What does this all mean?' you ask? Alucard is kaput, gone! Not alive, dead or even undead! He has become abstraction. He is... an imaginary number.
Alucard! Don't close your eyes! Heed my voice! (Alucard continues to fade, his various eyes closing) Alucard! I'm giving you an order! :::::::(pause, tearfully) Don't leave me!
Alucard
(smiles sadly) I fear... I must disobey you. Farewell, Integra. (vanishes)
(grief-stricken) Alucard! (around them, the Deus Ex Machina's control room catches fire)
[Alucard returns, thirty years later. He walks over to a sleeping Integra and bends over, apparently to bite her neck, but she suddenly sits up and empties a handgun into him]
(bursts into the room with her Harkonnen) Are we under attack again, Master?! (she turns on the lights, she and Integra stare in disbelief at Alucard)
Alucard
(chuckling as his wounds heal) Such a violent welcome. What an honor.
(looks away, curtly) You're a bit later than I expected, Alucard. Care to explain yourself?
Alucard
Killing oneself takes some time... and in my situation, there was a lot of self to kill. Three million, four hundred twenty-four thousand, eight hundred sixty-seven souls, within me... clouding my mind, denying me awareness. I butchered them all, until only I remained. I have returned here... but, I'm also always nowhere. It's a conundrum. The truth of it is, I am everywhere. (his eyes glow pink, like Schrodinger's)
You've returned... and in the meantime, I have grown old and grey.
Alucard
...Do forgive me.
(turns to face him) Were you skulking in here... to drink my blood?
Alucard
(laughs) You need to ask? I haven't eaten anything in thirty years- I'm famished. (Integra walks over to him)
(sadly) The young woman you knew is gone. I'm... ancient.
Alucard
(gently) And I'm not? (Integra smiles, then bites her finger until it bleeds)
You're home... my dear Count.
Alucard
Back forevermore... my Countess.
[Integra extends her arm; Alucard opens his mouth hungrily. As a drop of blood falls from her finger into Alucard's mouth, the series ends]
