'Nova Hellsing Returns'/'Change of Plans'

Here's that pix from last post again. Hint- she stole a 3WA ship when she quit the 3WA.

OK This is Lily (Langtry) who was Kei and Yuri's temporary partner during the Waldess incident in DP Flash/Act I. She only wanted to think about dating and her fashions and was no use whatsoever on the case. In fact she got taken hostage by one of the perps! She soon tired of the 3WA and quit taking one of their cruisers with her! In Xmas and Wings I made her Ella Hathway's new rookie trainee after she repeated at the Academy I should add. Was she any good? Ella had no complaints.

Now here's the mystery pix for this post. Hint- DPF/Act III/Winners in Summer Colours/he made life a living Hell for our duo especially Yuri!
Look familiar? Yuri loathed him and hated this assignment and they got him back at the end too!

Wow! Kei's been injured and now that worst of all combat weapons is in Zorin's cronies' hands- Gundams! Almost as terrifying as the 'God Guns' or the Angels' new toy- the r-- whoops! I almost let the neko outta the sack folks! This chapter will put two close tomos at loggerheads with each other and nai it ain't Vacuumhead and Firebrand either! Some old tomos return and the Boss decides to go to ?

ANGEL WINGS

DISCLAIMER: OK ‘Dynamo’ darlin’, it’s all yours. First I wanna thank Mr T for the use of his Angels and stuff. Then I wanna thank everyone else who has been allowing us to use their creations here like Thom Beers for the use of his ice road truckers Hugh, Drew, Rick, Eric, Alex and Bear. I took the liberty of naming the 3WA academy in Furool City on Shimougou after Mr Haruka Takachiho in honour of his creations- the Angels. How was that, Yuri? Great, kiddo. Oh hai it sure was, Kei! Now since we left ya up in the air last time let’s get to Ch 56 without any further meandering, shall we? Why is Zack Zero back and oro does he want with Suba Marina Oki? Can Mandy keep her big mouth shut? A hint re the titles- Aw do ya expect me to spoil it for ya? Oro does this all mean? We’ll find out momentarily gang. The Boss Red Marshall’s on the warpath again! Here ’tis:-

CHAPTER 56

'The Nova Hellsing Returns' or 'Change of Plans'

Mar glanced at Nami's PDO and all at once her face brightened.

"Crap! How did I ever forget that? The 'Adonis Arch'! Gene? Doesn't that come out somewhere near 'Shalimar Crossing'?" she asked eagerly.

"Even better than that Contessa. The 'Arch' comes out at--" drawled Han Solo.

"The 'Seretai Slide'!" cried Gene Starwind, Villa and Jimbo Hawking together.

"You got it. That'll shave an entire solar day off ou jaunt to 'Romulus'." drawled Han.

"It'll take us to the other sie of 'Remus', love." explained Villa when Kome lookd confused.

Hurriedly Mar tapped a fresh set of coordinates into Nami's PDO while Gene and Han looked on.

"There. That is the fastest route I know to 'Adonis'. Input these into the nav comp, Nami. (Nami disappeared into the nav room) Let's get going, Cap. I may as well use this ready room as my command centre. Han, the bridge comm is all yours. Get this ship to 'Romulus' with all possible speed. Dismissed." said the blone with finality and she sat down at the conference table.

Kome was already seated at the desk before the hitherto unseen firing controls for the dreaded 'railguns'. Kei had gone to check out their new 'toy'- the 'railgun'.

"Shit! She's like a kid in a candy store whenver she finds out about a new weapon." said Mar with a grin.

"Yup. She's a lot like 'Kitten' in tht regard, ma'am." agreed Rally 'Cat' Vincent. Suddenly Mar felt the hairs prickle on the nape of her neck. Then she relaxed and pointed.

"The apples are down the hallway in the break room, Ryuuk." she said.

"Much obliged, Blondie." replied the horrifying death god who was hovering behind the blonde. He flew off in search of his 'apple fix'.

Next door Gene had just set the 'LA2' on 'George' and turned to face Solo who was standing behind his chair.

"Something on your mind, old buddy?" drawled Han.

"Yeah pirate I was just wondering where the Hell Reds sent my 'Star', who has her and why?" replied Starwind.

"Dunno any of those answers partner. Sorry." drawled the ex-smuggler. The squawk box suddenly came to life.

"Legato's got the 'Outlaw Star' and a team of fighters went along with him. Their mission is to locate Thrawn and Dooku's armada and get their fleet to chase the 'Star' back to 'Remus' sort of like a decoy, Cap. That's why we have to get to 'Remus' ourselves- fast. Zack Zero's 'Liberator' and the 'Black Knights' are headed on an intercept course from the opposite direction. If all goes as planned we'll have those raiders in a crossfire. Reinforcements have been dispatched to both 'Romulus' and 'Remus' by the 'ISSP' ('Inter Solar Systems Police') and the 'Galactic High Command' so you guys just concentrate on getting us to our rendezvous point as quickly as you can. Steady as she goes, boyos. If you see Villa, send him in here. I need him to explain about 'railguns' to Nat and Kome's crew. He told Nami he'd used 'em before on your ship, Gene. Keep me posted and advise me when we reach the 'Arch'. Angel out." said Mar tossing down her PA mike.

"Villa should be here soon and he'll show you how to use those things, kids." she said and went back to studying the vid manuals for the Mark XXXII long rang ion cannon. And eleven levels below them--

"Holy Mother of Christ! Will ya look at that bloody thing! I could swear it don't show up anywhere on my 'Angel's schematics!" cried Kei while she stared upwards at a gigantic pair of gleaming white Kelvinite cylinders. The Boss was standing on a catwalk above SubLevel Three. From there the huge monstrosities stretched all the way up the ship's atrium to Surface Level Nine and all the way down to the very bottom of the ship.

"Maybe they were left off the blueprint diagrams on purpose, Miss Hellfire. Their range must be awesome. (Villa pointed below them) See those extra dual afterburners? (Kei squinted and nodded) I'll lay even money on those being the back blast exhaust ports of those things. Their backblasts must be pretty close to forty K (thousand) kilos (kilometres. A kilometre is close to three-quarters of a mile so you do the math) Better keep this ship a full hundred K kilos ahead of the rest of the convoy unless your bosses are fond of fricaseed space cruisers, mum." said Villa who was Gene's gunner on the 'Star'. Temporarily he had Lt Nat's job as bridge weapons officer. He pointed upwards to Surface Level Four far above them.

"See that massive anti-grav trolley and its crane system up there, love? (The redhead frowned and nodded again) That must be the loader assembly so those hatches must be the breech portals. Hey! Is that crosscorridor up on Six oro the Hell I think it is, Miss Hellfire?" breathed Villa in awe.

"Yeah. That's the 'God Gun', me old boyo. I take it these beauties (she pointed to the cylinders) are my 'railguns'?" asked the Boss.

"That they are, Miss Hellfire but I never saw any of this size before." replied Villa. Something inside his jacket chirped and he reached inside for his comlink pen. None of the men aboard used comlink earrings not even the pirates).

"Yeah? Villa here. Oro? Right-o. Be there in half a mo, mate. Villa out." he trilled and saluted the redhead beside him who of course ignored the salute.

"Gott go, kid. Duty calls. The Contessa (Brigadier) needs me topside stat." he said.

"Off you go then and thanks for the tour, Villa. Catch ya later, kiddo." replied Kei. Villa grinned and double-timed over to the lift. Kei decided to climb the long spiral gantryway stairs to Surface Level Four. She wanted a close-up gander at a 'railgun' shell.

"Holy shit! Each one must be half the length of the ship itself! A salvo (eight rounds) of these babies along with our two Gundams should do the trick nicely! Dooku and Thrawn- hang onto your asses! We're a-comin' for ya!" she shouted.

"Boss Reds? Everything OK down there, ma'am?" shouted Goat Smith from the balcony on Level Seven.

"Yeah. Just fine and dandy, Goat. Sorry if I startled ya, boyo. Is the dip-- Wing Commander with you?" yelled the redhead through her cupped hands. Apparently she'd forgotten her comlinks were on her ears and Goat had forgotten his was in his pocket.

"That's a negatory, Boss Reds. She's in the star room watching out for the bad guys." shouted Smith from above.

"I'm going back to my quarters. Ask the Brigadier to meet me there tout sweet onegai (please)." yelled Kei.

"Roger and willco, ma'am. Consider it done." cried Goat and he left to find the blonde.

Several levels down in the docking bays a 'death warmed over' dude who could rival Ryuuk for 'ugliest thing of the year' award looked on curiously.

"Why the Hell do we all have to have these comlink things, Police Girl? Jersey Smith and the Red Demon don't seem to either use or need them." observed Alucard.

He and Vicky were prepping the 'Nova Hellsing' for flight. Seras 'Police Girl' Victoria wiped a greasy hand across her forehead and stood up. Her flight suit coveralls were filthy with grease and muck.

"Nothing that woman does seems to make any sense, Master. (She raised her voice and shouted up the companionway) Try firing up the warp core now, Walter. I've tightened up all the connections down here so it should work." she told her 'stand-in' pilot.

"Captain?" trilled a husky female voice.

"Yes? Oro is it, Integra?" trilled Vicky.

Usually Sir Integra Winifred Van Helsing was both Vicky and Al's boss at 'Hellsing Group' but that was back on Terra. Kei had long since promoted Vicky to Captain and given her command of a captured 'Zenobian' star cruiser which Vicky had promptly christened the 'Nova Hellsing' and chosen her vampire 'Master' Alucard as her executive officer.

Walter who was 'Hellsing's manager she made her gunner and Integra had been placed in charge of communications. The two 'Jersey Jerks' Jamie Wilson and Goat Smith she had reluctantly accepted as cooks. Big Spike Miroku was her security chief and the 'Gung Ho Gun' from 'Gunsmoke' Dominique the Cyclops had become her navigator. Engineering was another matter entirely.

Donnatella and Cyborg along with Blackfire and Raven had all been assigned to other ships. Neko Olson had been tapped by the 'Deadly Dynamic Duo' for a special secret mission (Gundam pilot) so Junpei the big hunter of elves had been made her chief engineer. Genie the tall swordswoman treasure seeker and 'Stun Gun' Milly Thompson from 'Gunsmoke' were his assistants. Her pilot had been Legato Bluesummers with Han Solo as co-pilot but the Contessa Brigadier had already grabbed them for other duties so Walter was the ship's temporary pilot. So far he had no co-pilot.

"Sorry Miss Victoria but the motors will not start." trilled an apologetic Walter.

"Oro the Fxxx is wrong with this piece of God-forsaken shit!" yelled the svelte captain angrily.

"Captain! I really must ask you to watch your language, Police Girl. You used the forbidden word again." scolded Alucard.

"Sorry Master. Junpei! You're the chief engineer! Oro the Hell's wrong with my ship?" demanded Vicky.

"How the Hell should I know, girl! I only know how to fix tanks! I sure wish Ryosko was here! That kid can fix anything! Yo! Fatass! Did ya get the power working yet? The Vampire Queen's bitching that her radios ain't working!" shouted Junpei.

"Hey! Brunhilda! Ya figure out why we can't get this piece of junk to work yet?" yelled the elf hunter.

"Junpei! Stop insulting Genie and Milly! They are both doing their best. They don't know anything more about these beasts than you do." said a small puppy dog in Starfire's arms.

"Sorry Lady Celsia. I apologize but dammit all I'm a mechanic not an engineer! Milly! Try beatin' on that grey thing up there with a hammer!" suggested the chief engineer.

"Don't do that! You'll blow up the blasted ship!" howled Starfire's companion a three metres tall raptor- a Triceraton named Dynamo.

He grabbed Milly's just before she struck the ship's dilythium converter catalyst.

"Oro seems to be the problem here, kiddies?" he growled.

"The Queen of Mean up there keeps bitching her power's too damned low to run her toys and this crappy bucket of bolts won't start, Mr Dynamo!" complained Junpei.

The huge dinosaur-like alien glanced at the gauge beneath the catalyst and chuckled.

"You're out of fuel, boy!" he growled.

"Dilythium crystals?" asked Integra who'd come down to see why her power had just totally conked out. She stuck a cigar in hermout and went to light it when--

"Yes and they are highly explosive Lieutenant Van Helsing so no smoking down here!" yelled Dynamo.

"That explains why the ship is not yet running. Why don't I have any power for my vidcomm systems?" she asked.

"Same reason, ma'am. Your power comes from that same fuel. Somebody go get some fuel cells from the supply room." ordered the raptor.

"I will get them, sir!" squealed Starfire excitedly.

"Don't go in the supply room without a hard suit!" called Walter from the companionway.

The tall violet-maned Tamaranian girl yanked open the door of the air-tight chamber and went inside. Naturally as with all air-tight chambers the portal sealed shut behind her. Sensing a new contaminant (Starfire) in the anti-matter field the automatic sensors sprayed the chamber with 'Thoron' a toxic acidic gas.

Had Star been human she would already be dead. Her Tamaranian metabolism saved her from the toxicity but not the acid. It did not effect her body, however, her clothing immediately disintegarated trapping a suddenly au natural Starfire inside!

"Oh Christ! Rangiku! Flood the fuel supply room with 'Nalcyon' quickly!" cried Vicky.

Rangiku was the 'Nova Hellsing's personal 'CC' computer program. She speedily complied with Vicky's orders and the 'Nalcyon' countered the 'Thoron' allowing Dynamo to unseal the chamber door.

He then hit the release panel but nothing happened. He frowned and tried again and again. Still nothing. He tried forcing it open but the portal still held. Vicky started to worry.

"Starfire? We cannot get the door open so I'm sending for help. Don't worry, we'll soon have you out of there." soothd Vicky.

"I know you cannot open this door and I know why, Auntie Vicky!" sobbed a distraught Starfire.

"Oro? Why?" asked a confused Dynamo.

"Because I am holding the door shut and I am a lot stronger than I look, sir." blubbered the tall Tamaranian.

"You stupid dumbass birdbrain! Why are ya doing that dammit? Let Dynamo open up the damned door!" roared Junpei.

"I'm sorry, Mr Junpei, sir but I cannot do that! I don't have any clothes on!" shreiked Starfire.

"The acid in the 'Thoron'. Of course, the acid. It disintegrated her clothing but not her body. A Tam's metabolism is different from a human's." explained Dynamo.

"Honey? There should be a locker in there with a flight suit and some deck boots. Go and look." said Vicky.

"I cannot, Auntie Vicky! If I let go of it the door will be open and all of you will see me in my birthday suit!" she whimpered.

"Nobody's going to see you, Star. I have locked the door again out here so it won't open until I unlock it again and I won't do that until you say you're ready. OK?" coaxed Vicky.

"OK. I'll go and look, Auntie. (A few minutes passed) There's a diving suit and a helmet ( a deep space hard suit) in here, Auntie Vicky but nothing else at all!" sobbed Star.

"Fine. Just climb into that suit. You don't need the helmet, dear. Just the hard suit." said Vicky.

A few minutes later Starfire told Vicky she was ready and at a nod from the captain Dynamo unlocked and released the door. Vicky pulled it open and Starfire collapsed into her arms. She and Junpei assisted the girl to a table and sat her down on it.

"She can barely move in this thing and it's crushing her! Integra, go rep up some clothes for her. Starfire? Auntie Integra's gone to get you some clothes. We'll help you out of this thing in the ladies' room when she comes back, Honey. Then you can get changed." said Seras Victoria.

Integra returned a dumped a load of clothing on the table.

"Here. I hope Rangiku got Star's sizes right. I repped up a schoolkid's uniform, socks, shoes and underwear." explained Integra.

With Milly and Genie helping Vicky got Starfire into the restroom and out of the hard suit. Starfire, however, insisted on getting dressed in the shower room. She returned a few minutes later blushing a little.

"I have gotten so used to pants that a skirt somehow makes me seem only half dressed." said Star.

"Go grab Lady Celsia (the 'puppy dog' was in reality an elven queen who had accidentally trapped herself in that shape with her own spell), go back to your own room and wear whatever the Hell you want." said a thoroughly exasperated Vicky.

She hated playing babysitter yet that was the job she had usually gotten stuck with before her promotion.

"Genie, get into a hard suit and anti-grav boots and get some 'dy' cells for us. Dynamo will show you how to load them into the catalyst." ordered the svelte captain.

An hour later with a fully loaded fuel catalyst and a fully charged-up power system Walter fired up the warp core and powerd up the main thruster units. The 'Nova Hellsing' pulsed with light and energy like a living thing.

"Success, Madam Captain!" cried the usually morose and taciturn vampire hunters' manager and accountant. Walter was a vampire slayer in his own right as well.

"Wonderful! Now can we eat? I'm starving to death for that tasty brunette who served us at lunch." chortled Alucard. Vicky was cross with him.

"Now Master, you know that Boss Reds has had fresh blood repped up for us ever since we joined forces with the 3WA and we took a solemn vow, an oath not to harm any humans, didn't we? Besides if you sated yourself on little Makoto who would serve us dinner?" replied Vicky.

Genie, Junpei, Milly and even Dynamo were in shock!

"Are you two really vampires? I always thought they were just kids' fairy tales." asked Genie.

"Master Alucard and myelf are truly of the undead, Genie. We must have human blood in order to exist, my dear. You need not worry though because as you just heard we have both sworn a sacred pledge not to harm anyone while we serve the 3WA. Since our 'Nova Hellsing' seems to be in working order shall we all go up to dinner? As soon as I get cleaned up that is. Ladies? We will meet you gentlemen upstairs. Please escort Starfire and Lady Celsia back to their quarters, Dynamo. Please tell Integra that Master and I will see her at dinner. You may go with them, Walter. You too Master. Sayonara." replied Vicky.

"Come in Mar. It's open. called Kei when her door klaxon chimed. The portals swished aside to admit the blonde commander.

"You wanted to see me, Boss? Oro's the problem this time?" asked Mar.

Kei waved her to a chair. Mar sat and accepted a mug of hot java from her superior. Kei was still in her dusty 3WA sweats and boots. She really looked like she'd been through the wringer. Actually she had gotten filthy climbing around looking at the 'railguns' with Villa.

"Man! You look like shit, kiddo!" oberved the blonde stifling a giggle.

"I know. Charlie's relay calls tend to do that to me Marlene. Uh listen. How big of a problem would it be to uh turn the ship around?" asked the redhead nonchalantly.
