HELLSING VOL 3-SEARCH AND DESTROY-EPISODE 7-DUEL-3 STARS

20. March 2008 by Ria.

Okay, this episode picks up from where we left off in Vol 2, when all of the Hellsing organization was left in shambles after the Valentine Brothers and their clan of goons ran through there killing almost all of the soldiers. You do remember what happened in Vol 2, right? If not, you’d better throw Hellsing Vol 2 into my search browser, so you don’t miss anything. I broke Vol 2 into two parts, so remember to read both.

Now, we see Sir Integra at the funeral for all those Hellsing soldiers who fell in combat. Remember, they all turned to ghouls, and she had to put them out of their misery with a bullet to the brain. So Integra comes back to the Hellsing compound, and a man by the name of Enrico Maxwell stops by to pay his condolences. Well, not really. Anyway, Enrico is the head of the Iscariot Vatican Special Section 13 Organization. Well, don’t ask me, I don’t know what that is, but I believe they too fight vampires, and ghouls, and they don’t like the Hellsing Organization too much.

Alexander Anderson is a member of that group, don’t you remember him (or it)? He and Alucard battled it out in another Hellsing episode that I will be getting soon, but don’t worry, you won’t miss anything, because they’re about to tear it up in this one, too. Anderson is some kind of a priest who uses holy weapons to attack vampires, and he can’t stand Alucard either. “You know Mr. Anderson, don’t play with Alucard, ’cause he’ll cave your skull in, and I’ll be sitting back cheering him on with my beer in one hand, and giving high fives with the other.”

Anyway, Maxwell pays a visit to Integra with some flowers, supposedly to express his deepest sympathy, but all the while sticking the knife in her (figuratively) by reminding her most of her men are dead, and its all her fault. Well, Integra’s not gonna stand by and listen to this crap, she slaps the flowers out of his hand, and verbally puts him in check. Then, Maxwell strikes back by calling her a Squealing English Sow. What? Uh Oh, it’s on now, where’s the address to the Hellsing Compound, so I can come there and slap Maxwell into the middle of next week!

It seems I don’t have to worry about a thing, because my man Alucard is on the scene. “That’s right Maxwell, he heard everything you said, now he’s gonna blow your head off!” Now Alucard pulls out his piece, when Integra is informed that Mr. Anderson is battling Victoria, and the rest of the Hellsing crew in another part of town. Integra leaves first, then Alucard, on his way to rip Mr. Anderson apart. “Wait a minute Alucard, don’t leave Maxwell alive, he talks too much crap, blow his brains out like you were going to. What? You can do that later? Okay, but don’t forget.”

Alucard saves Victoria from being struck down by Anderson, and the two go at it, blow by blow. Anderson gets a good lick in, and takes Alucard’s head right off, then, sticks a knife in it, and then, check this out, Victoria picks up his head (with the knife still stuck in it), and starts walking away, talking to herself, trying to find out what to do next. “Okay, Victoria, you’re supposed to be trying to get away, so why are you walking, and why are you still holding his head? I know Alucard is all that and a bag of chips, but he’s also dead at the moment, and there’s nothing you can do with just a head. And besides that, aren’t you scared to be holding that thing?”

Now while Victoria is still pondering what to do, Anderson catches up with her, and knocks her down. “Victoria, you might not make it out of there, so I need to know who’s next of kin, so they can pick up your remains, and make sure you get a proper burial.” Well, no need to worry about that, because the Hellsing Ace is about to be resurrected. Alucard’s body turns black with a couple of eyes sticking out (his trademark), and the same happens to the head. Then, Victoria gets scared, and drops the head (a little late if you ask me).

“Good to have you back Alucard. Now mess that fool up so we can go on to the next episode, besides, I have to go the bathroom.” So once again the two of them go at it, Alucard fires a few shots but misses, then Anderson gets scared (I guess) and retreats. Well, I’m sure this war between them isn’t over, but this review is, so stay in touch for Episode 8!
