MThe Major
Hahahahaha! Poor Dandy Man! He looks like a broken rag doll. Our opponent is quite impressive, isn't he? He's stronger than anyone of us could've possibly imagine!
I am… I am so sorry, Major. I suppose this means that, I still have much work to do.
MThe Major
Please! Don't be ridiculous. Zhis is the dawn of our great success. The zhings we've learnt today will serve us well against zhe Alucard in the future. We've gained access to a most extraordinary being, a midian, more than a person, a vampire. I tell you doctor, fifty years of hard work are about to pay off! You will build monsters, turn zhem into soldiers, organize them, train them, supply them, militarize them and command them! Ve are the Last Battalion! Das Letzte Battalion! It is magnificent, my brilliant doctor!
MThe Major
Good... Zhis most delightful show must now draw to an end. It's time we headed back home for a bit, don't you zhink? Captain! Let's bring her home and quickly. We've kept the gentlemen at the opera house waiting long enough. So please let us make haste, I imagine by zhis time they are about ready to explode with anger.
ZZeppelin Captain
Understood, very serious business indeed. I'll have her at full tilt all zhe way, Major! Da steht, Gang! Alle Klappen, engagiert!
ACAirship Crewman 1
Da steht, Gang! Alle Klappen, engagiert!
ZZeppelin Captain
Steuerbord, zwanzig!
ACAirship Crewman 1
Steuerbord, zwanzig!
MThe Major
Destination, Jablow, Panther, Schanze. We're coming! And I don't care how many Hundreds or Thousands or Millions or Billions of people try to stop me! Yes! Anyvone who's there, standing in my vay will be destroyed! Welcome to this crazy time… Willkommen zu verrückte Zeit.
Major, looks like you've really got your hands full!
MThe Major
No, things are going vell! It feels as though a veight has finally been lifted from my shoulders. I'm feeling quite satisfied.
MThe Major
(delighted) Alucard! I'm so happy to see you again, it's been really far too long. (Alucard laughs)
(coldly) What is it that you want?
MThe Major
Hmm? Oh, finally, face-to-face with the Fräulein herself, Sir Integra Hellsing! (bows) It's a pleasure to meet you.
What's the purpose of this- what are you trying to accomplish?! Answer me!
MThe Major
...Ze purpose, you ask? What a silly question, my beautiful Fräulein. Purpose... (chuckles coldly) To put it in ze simplest possible terms, Fräulein, our purpose is a total absence of purpose. You should be avare, Fräulein, zat zere are some people in zis vorld- certain irredeemable lumps- for whom ze means does not require an end. (pause) I speak, of course, of myself.
(adressing the Letzte Battalion troops as he videotapes the feeding) Be sure to eat every bite. If he turns into a ghoul, I vill not be happy.
Oh, vow! I didn't think your decision vould be zat harsh, sir!
(contemptuously) You are insane. All of you!
MThe Major
Did I just hear somevone from Iscariot questioning my sanity? Zen, let me ask you: If your God would allow my madness to flourish across the globe... zen, wouldn't it seem to you, zat any God like zat, would be just as mad as I? (Maxwell looks furious) Ve are ze finest of ze Third Reich! Do you have any idea how many people we've killed?! I'm insane? Vhat foolishness. You didn't have any objections fifty years ago. But, never mind zat. Try to stop me, then, you self-proclaimed "normal people". But, unfortunately, Iscariot is not my true enemy. My true enemy is Britain, ze Hellsings. Well, really, it's that man, laughing in ze corner back there.
... A declaration of war'; excellent! I can't wait to destroy you again!
MThe Major
No matter vhat you do, we will never give up. We will reverse this ridiculous situation as many times as we have to.
Alucard, Seras. Kill him.
MThe Major
Fine, shoot ze messenger, if zis is vhat it comes to. Auf wiedersehen, mein Fräulein. I look forward to meeting you again across ze battlefield.
QEQueen Elizabeth II
Alucard, Sir Hellsing. Destroy them. You have your orders.
MThe Major
(sighs in ecstasy) Zis is it- vhat my eyes have so longed for. Ahh- vhat a sight.
For vhat it's worth, Zorin's dead, sir. Killed by a gnat.
MThe Major
(chuckles) Vell, zat's hardly a surprise. Watch how it burns, boy- like ze end of ze Gotterdämerung.
(amused)... Major, you're such a meanie. You bring a whole army vith you- but really, zey're nothing but kindling for your own personal bonfire
MThe Major
(pause, smiles) What is Hell, if not a bonfire? I am become Death- I am ze serpent, devouring myself. I take, and am taken from, vithout end. How many days, of wild aspiration- how many nights, of black entropy, have I slain, to witness zis triumph? Our destruction approaches... together vit our victory!
(via loudspeaker, above the battlefield) Enemies stand to our left- enemies stand to our right! Eradicate all who stand before you! Execute them all- Kill them! DESTROY!
(frantically) Major! Do you hear me?! Please, come back inside! Ze armor plating von't hold out for long! (the Major ignores him) Major- (he stops himself as he sees the Major sweeping his hands back and fourth in dramatic gestures)... He thinks zat it is music! Music of ze battlefield! (pause) Ze Major... he's conducting it! Ze battle is his symphony, and ve are his instruments- great, howling instruments, vailing his cacophonous notes! How could anything stand against him?!
VPVatican Pilot
We found our target! He's on toppa the airship!
VGVatican Gunner
What the Hell is he doing? He's a-crazy- a mad ghost of war! (he trains the helicopter's gatling guns on the Major, who strikes a pose)
VGVatican Gunner
Die! (at that moment, microfilament wires slash the gunship to bits; the wreckage plummets and explodes)
MThe Major
(grins) Quick und excellent vork... my butler. (he, Doc and Schrödinger glance behind them to see a rejuvenated Walter, standing next to the Captain)
My 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!
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!
(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.
(finishing his incantation as he is peppered with firepower) "To keep...myself... tame." (his coffin begins to open)
MThe Major
(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!
VSVampire SS officer
Vhat took you so long? (grins at Seras) Strike me down, Fraulein; you do me a kindness! (Seras decapitates him)
...They all die with a smile. They smile... because death is what they came here to obtain.
If they wanted it so damn badly, then they should have staked themselves, or jumped into a fire, or maybe not become vampires at all!
MThe Major
(over the loudspeakers) You make it sound so simple, little girl, vould that it were! But you see, mere death means nothing to us. I blush to admit it, but we seem to have painted ourselves into a bit of a corner. For all of our successes this night, we are but relics of a bygone age. "Never again!" Zey cried, pushing us out of mind, denying us our legacy. But none of us are eager to die. None of us simply want our existence to simply stop, like a watch no one vill bother to wind up. Zat vould be pointless. If we are to die, it must be a battle that shakes the very timbers of Valhalla, and nothing less! (the Captain appears at the end of the passage, blocking Seras and Integra's way) Zat is what brought us here- the scent of a worthy fight. Ve are starving, you see, but nothing fills us, nothing slakes this appetite. Ze good people of London were but a snack! Ze world is a big plate, and a man might murder his neighbor for a multitude of reasons. Mein gott, ze potential! Zere is pleasure in a rout, but a true warrior must find a worthy foe, even if it takes him half a century. For us to die, there must be sturm und drang, like the world has never dared imagine! Otherwise, we are like ze crew of Vagner's Flying Dutchman, drifting forever. That is what you mean to us- our last chance to come ashore. I tip my hat to you Hellsing, thou Royal Order of Protestant Knights! You are vunderbar, truly! You bring us something precious; victory or death! Which one, I do not know, but it will be sublime!
(eyeing the Captain) Master Integra, you need to go on ahead.
Find him- and skewer that little toad! Every word out of his mouth, is like poison- if I have to keep hearing it, I'll go mad! :(Integra pauses, then smiles and nods)
All right- but don't you die. That, I would never forgive. (pulls a cigar from her pocket)
Hmph- such a good dog. (drops her cigar, walks down the passage until she is next to the Captain) Now, play dead. (She walks on, Seras and the Captain both take up battle stances)
MThe Major
...I vill. But...not just yet. Sorry to disappoint you, Hellsing!
Impossible- I saw the shell hit you! You're dead.
MThe Major
Zat's where you're wrong. I have never been more alive. (the smoke clears, revealing his damaged cyborg body)
MThe Major
Good Gracious- didn't your mother ever teach you zat it's rude to stare? Machinery aside, I am just as human now as I ever vas, Fraulein.
(disgusted)...Look at you, Major. A clockwork monstrosity.
MThe Major
Deny it all you want! My humanity is not in question. I still have zat one trait zat puts us in ascendance even above ze angels- it is my :vill zat drives me! Ze vampires you vere so happy to keep in your employ- without ze lifeblood of others to keep them going, they vould shamble to a halt! If it's a monster you vant, look no further than Alucard, and zis little one- playing at immortality. Don't mention me in ze same breath as zat fraud! So long as I am propelled forward by my own, unadulterated will, I am heir to something Alucard can only steal. Even if I were reduced to nothing more zan a brain in a jar- synapses firing in a sea of pure thought- I am human, just like you are! Vithin me rests a human soul- and a human's will, precious beyond all vorth. He smiles at you, in ze form of a young girl, or pulls at your heartstrings in ze guise of a weary veteran- so many faces ze monster has, and all of zem stolen! All of zem lies! I despise him. Every cell in my body called for his annihilation. So, I destroyed his kingdom and cast him down into ze dust! Fitting- zat it took a man vit ze trappings of a monster, to slay a monster vit ze trappings of a man! He was a casualty of my will. (pause) My enemy is not human. My enemy is less than a human. Since ze earliest dawning of mankind, zis is ze battlecry! It just happened to be more literal, in my case (laughs, points at Integra) Zat battlecry- zose thoughts are running through your mind right now, aren't zey? I planted ze seeds of zis var half a century ago- now, show me what has blossomed.
