Chapter Six - Hunter

As Owl Squadron began their mission to find Hunter, the Hellsing agents patrolled the streets of London discreetly. Luz looks up to see Seras Victoria scaling the rooftops at inhuman speeds.

Luz: So what's her story?

Eda: Seras Victoria was a police officer was investigating a series of disappearances. Unfortunately, the perp happened to by a Vampire disguised as a priest. Her squad were massacred and turned into Ghouls. Before the same thing could happen to her, Alucard was dispatched and killed the Vampire.

Luz: Let me guess, Seras was so grateful that she pledged herself to him and let him turn her into a Vampire?

Eda: Not exactly. To kill that Vampire, Alucard put a hole through Seras. He gave Seras the choice to either die or be turned into a Vampire. As you can see, she chose the latter.

Luz: Damn. Had to take a lot of guts to make that call. 

Eda: Especially if you're on the verge of dying. 

With that, Luz was left with the thought of what happened to Seras Victoria. She began to wonder how she would react in this situation. Meanwhile, Seras Victoria prowled on the rooftops in search for Hunter. As she searched the rooftops, she used her third eye to scan the area. She quickly detects a Vampire within a crowd. She then contacts Eda via comlink.

Seras(Comlink): Captain Clawthorne, I've detected a Vampire within a crowd of people outside a nearby bar. 

Eda: Copy that. We'll follow him.

With that, Eda and the rest of Owl Squadron discretely converged on Hunter's position. In the crowd, Hunter was speaking to a few people. 

Hunter: You've got nothing to worry about. 

Woman: I'm not sure about this.

Hunter: It'll be fun. You'll see. 

As Hunter says this, the young Vampire spots Eda approaching him. He looks to the rooftop to see Seras Victoria. Without warning, Hunter began running.

Eda: Shit!

As Hunter began running, Owl Squadron began chasing Hunter through the streets while Seras trailed them through the rooftops.

Amity: Don't let the target get away!

Luz: Wasn't planning on it!

Gus: This is a fast one!

After a brief chase, Owl Squadron cornered Hunter at the end of an alleyway.

Hunter: Who the hell are you people?!

Eda: Easy there, kid. Don't do anything stupid. We're here to help you.

As Eda tried to calm the situation, the rest of Owl Squadron tried to block off any escape routes that Hunter cound use.

Hunter: S...stay back!

Eda: We're not here to hurt you, kid. Something tells me you've had a real bad day. We can help you.

Eda then gestures to Luz and Amity who slowly approaches him.

Luz: Easy there. We just want to talk.

Hunter: Not another step! I mean it!

Amity: There's nowhere for you to run. Don't make this any harder than it has to be.

As Hunter was cornered, he glances over to see Seras Victoria on a rooftop glaring at him. Without warning, Hunter lashes out at Amity and grabs her by the neck, taking her hostage.

Luz: Amity! Let her go!

Hunter: Stay back! I...I don't want to hurt her, but I will if you don't back off!

Willow: Don't do this! You'll just make things worse on yourself!

As Hunter held Amity hostage, Luz became deeply concerned for Amity's safety. Eda quickly realized that she and her squad was in a dangerous situation.

Eda: You don't want to do this, kid.

Left with no other choice, Eda and the rest of Owl Squadron pulled their weapons on Hunter. On the rooftop, Seras took aim with her Harkonnen rifle. During this tense situation, Luz grips her baseball bat and swings at Hunter. She managed to land a good hit on Hunter's face. The pain from the strike forces him to release Amity.

Luz: Take this, you son of a bitch!

Luz goes for an overhead strike, but Hunter manages to block Luz's strike. It was at this moment that Seras fired on Hunter with Harkonnen. Hunter used his Vampire reflexes to dodge Seras's attack. The battle quickly turned against Hunter.

Hunter: N...no...no! Stay back!

Hunter lashes out at Luz and slashes at Luz's arm. This prompts Amity to fire on Hunter, forcing him to flee.

Eda: Damn it! He's making a run for it!

The chase resumes as Owl Squadron and Seras chase after Hunter. The chase soon leads them to a construction site.

Willow: He's heading to that construction site!

Eda: Don't let him out of your sight!

Both Owl Squadron and Seras began following Hunter into the construction site. The Hellsing agents split up to cover more ground. During the chase, Luz corners Hunter.

Luz: Stop right there!

Hunter: Why won't you just leave me alone?!

Luz: Don't play innocent with me!

Hunter: You....you don't understand! He helped me! He gave me a purpose!

Luz: This isn't going to end well if you don't back down.

As Luz cornered Hunter, she contacts Owl Squadron.

Luz: Owl Squadron, this is Noceda. I got the Vampire cornered at the....

Before Luz could finish her sentence, Hunter lashes out and attacks her. During the attack, Hunter destroys several pillars holding the ceiling to the room they were in. As the ceiling caved in, Hunter gives Luz a warning.

Hunter: Listen to me carefully. Don't get in my way. The Emperor is not a merciful man....

As Hunter gave his warning, he takes the opportunity to escape via a hatch. Luz was forced to run away before the ceiling could collapse on her. By the time that the rest of Owl Squadron regrouped with Luz, Hunter was gone. Despite the failure of their efforts to capture Hunter, Luz now had new information regarding Hunter and Belos. Only time would tell if this information would prove invaluable to the Hellsing Organization.
