"You're payin' a lot for a simple delivery." Dutch said as he held a small package in his hands. "Must be somethin' pretty important."

"Naturally. Which is why I've hired you and your crew to get this safely to England." Balalaika said with a slight smile. "I will be also be covering your airfare, food, hotel, weapons and any other expenses. Just make sure this gets to the client safely, and remember that no one is to see its contents."

"To England, huh? Pretty odd place for you to be doing buisiness with." Dutch muttered curiously.

"For your information, the client is an old friend of mine. And that's all you need to know." Balalaika stated firmly.

"Whatever you say." Dutch sighed as he left.

"THIS STINKS!" Revy shouted as she, Dutch, Rock and Benny lazed around in their 5-star hotel in England. "Why the fuck is fry-face going through all this trouble for such a goddamned boring job?"

"Calm down, Revy." Dutch sighed. "You know how things work; we do the job, we get the money, we ask no questions."

"Besides, we've been tight on money for a while now. It's been hard finding jobs with a decent pay, and we have things back at the Lagoon that need to be tended to." Benny explained as he did work on his laptop.

"I know that already! It's just that if this thing is such a big deal, you'd think we'd have more trouble to deal with along the way!" Revy replied loudly and irritated. "Jeez, my fingers are itching to pull some triggers!"

"Come on, Revy. Why can't you just be grateful that things turned out to be nice and quiet?" Rock said with a smile as he drank a bottle of beer. "Personally, I prefer it when our jobs don't involve fighting hordes of bloodthirsty bounty hunters, yakuza lords or armies."

"DUMBASS! THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE JOB WORTH TAKING!" Revy screamed as she whacked Rock's beer out of his hand, causing it to smash against the wall.

"You don't have to be so violent..." Rock pouted as he thought about the inconvenience that had just been done to the cleaning staff of their hotel.

"Don't get too comfortable, Rock. Revy does have a point, you know." Dutch said, attracting everyone's attention. He held up the small package for the others to see. "Considering the pay we're gettin' for delivering this thing, the fact that no one is to know it's contents and not to mention where we're taking it, I wouldn't be surprised if there were people after it."

"Dutch is right." Benny said, without looking up from the screen of his computer. "Now that we're in England, we should keep our guard up. And on top of what he just said, there's the fact that our client is really strange."

"By the way, who is our client?" Rock asked curiously.

"The Hellsing Organization. I've been doing some research on them, and it appears that they're well known by the higher-ups in England, but there isn't too much about them on the internet." Benny explained. "We're delivering the package to the head of the organization, a member of the Protestant Knights; Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing."

"What a long name..." Rock muttered.

"A Protestant Knight? Crap, now we're dealing with religious fanatics!" Revy complained.

"You'll have to get over it, Revy. Like I said before, the pay can't be beat." Dutch said. "Now get some sleep. We're delivering the package tomorrow morning."

It was the middle of the night, and the crew of the Black Lagoon lay in their unusually comfortable beds, getting a good sleep. Rock especially seemed to be enjoying the peacefulness. Revy lay with her guns still in hand, Dutch seemed to be no different than usual and Benny had fallen asleep with his computer on his lap.

However, the group's slumber was disturbed as their window suddenly shattered.

"GYAAAAH!" Rock and Benny screamed as they jumped up.

"What the fuck was that?" Revy exclaimed as she pointed her cutlasses around the room.

"Revy, look out!" Dutch shouted as a figure suddenly appeared behind the gunwoman and grabbed her throat.

"Sh...it..." Revy muttered as she was being choked. Out of impulse, she she pointed her guns behind her head and shot, nailing her captor in the head. Much to her, and the others' surprise, Revy was not released from her hold; in fact the person restraining her barely moved.

"What the hell?" Dutch exclaimed. "This guy was just shot... He should be dead!"

"Heh heh heh. Your bullets can't kill me." The strange man said, despite the fact that there were two holes in his head. "Now give me the disk, or this bitch dies."

"What are you talking about? We don't have a disk!" Rock muttered in a panicked voice.

"He must mean the package we're delivering." Benny stated. "The size is about right."

"I'd hurry if I were you." The man said. "I doubt this girl will hold out for much longer."

In response, Revy put the barrel of her gun at the guy's wrist and shot. His hand went limp, releasing her. Revy took a much needed breath as Dutch pulled a gun out of his jacket and shot the man in the heart. Unfortunately, just as before, there was no effect.

"Dammit!" Dutch muttered.

"Doesn't this guy die?" Revy shouted out in frustration.

"Heh. I gave you the option to settle this without bloodshed, but you leave me with no choice... I'll take the disk by force!" The man stated with an excited smirk.

Suddenly he disappeared. Before the crew of the Black Lagoon could do anything, he reappeared in front of Revy and punched her hard in the face. Revy went flying and crashed against the wall, leaving an indent.

"REVY!" Rock called out as he attempted to go to her side. However, the man appeared in front of Rock and kicked him in the ribs sending him crashing into the wall as well.

The man disappeared again as Dutch went to shoot at him, not knowing what else to do. He reappeared in front of Dutch, crushed the gun with his hand and then twisted Dutch's arm behind his back. The man then forced Dutch down into the floor, then stepped on his back, causing Dutch to cry out in pain. He then turned to Benny and punched him out as well, even though the computer geek hadn't done anything.

"Well, that was hardly entertaining..." The man muttered. "I was hoping you'd put up more of a fight. Oh well, at least I can have a midnight snack before I take the disk." He then walked over to Revy and knelt down in front of her. "How would you like to join me, young lady? Are you a virgin?"

"What the hell are you goin' on about, mother-fucker?" Revy said weakly as blood flowed from her broken nose.

"Oh well, even if you're not, you'll still make a wonderful ghoul." The man continued on, ignoring Revy. He opened his mouth wide, revealing a pair of fangs, and began to lean in towards Revy. However, before he could do anything his head suddenly exploded, sending blood flying all over the room.

"What the... fuck..." Revy muttered as she stared in with a mix of horror and confusion. She couldn't piece together what had just happened, and was getting ready to call it all a dream.

"Um... Hello in there? Are you alright?" A sweet, female voice echoed out from the window. Revy, Rock, Dutch and Benny turned their eyes to see a young woman with shoulder-length blond hair wearing a yellow uniform standing in their window. "Sorry about the mess. I figured it would be easier to take him down from a distance rather than engage him head-to-head, especially since my master decided not to come this time around."

"Hey... Who are you?" Dutch asked from his wounded position on the floor.

"Oh! Forgive me for not introducing myself sooner, my name is Seras Victoria." The girl stated with a smile. "I'm with the Hellsing Organization."
