#8 Dark side of God
The scene opens up on the Isafaro Resistance H.Q. We cut to Imai's office to see Armando punching Logan in the face and pinning him to the wall. Members of his squad and Imai coming up to try to separate them.
Imai: Armando, what the hell are you doing?!
Armando: You nearly got Aminee killed!
Logan: I don't know what you're talking about!
Armando: I know the whole story. Aminee was told by you and Imai to kill the General the first chance she gets, behind my back!
Kragen and Deadpool manages to pull Armando away from Logan while Imai checks on Logan.
Imai: I didn't give the order. For fuck sakes, I agreed with you at the meeting.
Aminee: Logan approached me before the mission and gave me the knife to use. Told me to kill Vulture. Said it was what you wanted too when I asked.
Imai: Logan, what the hell is she talking about?
Logan: I gave the order. It was our best shot to take the Vulture out. I was hoping that you would see that after his corpse showed up on the news.
Armando: But it didn't go down that way. It was a failure and almost cost my comrade her life.
Imai: Goddammit, Logan! I said I wanted Aminee to get in and out, nothing else!
Logan: I know. I'm sorry.
Imai: You think sorry is going to cut it? I can't have a second in command who goes behind my back when it's convenient for him.
Logan: What are you saying?
Imai: You're relieved of duty and confined to your quarters until I say otherwise.
Logan: Imai, please–!
Imai: Guards!
Two Resistance guards enters the room.
Imai: Escort Logan to his room.
The guards nod and walk over to Logan. They attempt to take this arm, but Logan slaps it away and walks himself out with the escort.
Imai: Armando, I am so sorry. If I had any idea he was giving orders behind my back I would have done something.
Madeira: Aminee is safe now. That's all that matters.
Peter: I'd hate to interrupt this charming display, but I have news from Sector Ten. Legion has arrived.
Imai: Shit.
Armando: What's the situation?
Peter: Sector Eleven has been destroyed, and closed off to the general public. Legion is leading an army of Vulture's experiments into Sector Ten killing anything that stands in their way. It would seems that her target is the Core.
Meryl: Makes sense. They were created by the Vulture. It's only natural that they'd want some payback.
Kragen: Armageddon.
Skids: So, what's the problem?
Armando: The problem is that they're going to kill every man, woman, and child in Isafaro between there and the Core unless we stop them.
Imai: Is Seras still able to help us?
Peter: You cannot expect Hellsing to fight all your battles for you. Seras and Iron Man are already on their way back to Hallowton.
Imai: That's not what I meant.
Armando: We'll take care of it ourselves. Just say the word.
Imai: This child flooded an entire sector and put one of my best commanders out of action for good. I'm sending in a task force to assist with the mission. Use what little we've been able to uncover from the report file, and approach with caution.
Armando: Yes, ma'am!
Armando and his crew leaves the office as the scene fades to black.
On the way to the chopper Skids stops Armando to talk to him.
Skids: Look, about what I said back there. I didn't mean to come across as–
Armando: It's already forgotten. Those bastards killed your friends. You have every right in the world to be angry. Truth is, even if there were no civilians in the way we'd be no better than them using Legion to kill our enemies for us, and who's to say she wouldn't turn on us immediately afterwords? Something like that needs to be dealt with now, not later.
Skids: Agreed.
Madeira approaches the two as they continue to walk.
Madeira: Armando!
Armando: Go on.
Skids keeps walking as Armando stops for Made.
Armando: What is it?
Madeira: It's about Aminee. Is it really wise to let her come? She just got back from being tortured. Who knows what kind of condition she's in.
Armando: I understand your concern, but we need all the help we can get right now. Being tortured didn't hinder her ability to fire a gun back in the streets. It won't stop her now.
Madeira: I guess.
Armando: Tell you what, if you can convince her to sit this one out I won't stand in your way.
Madeira: I may as well bite all my fingers off.
Armando: That'd be a shame, you work one mean guitar riff.
Armando made it to the hanger where the other soldiers are getting ready to head out.
Armando: All right, men, listen up! We're heading to Sector Ten to take out an extremely dangerous hostile. On her own, Legion is probably the most dangerous thing this army will ever face, but combined with other Vulture's experiments we could have a massacre on out hands. If you have a shot you take it, don't wait for confirmation, don't wait for backup. You take it. When Legion first awakened she broke Tori, and flooded an entire sector in blood. There's no telling what she can do now that she has an army. Roll out!
Cut to: Sector Ten: Streets
We see Legion walking the streets of Sector Ten with mutations all around her. The monsters are tearing through the city as Legion walks with little interest in what's happening around her. She looks up to the sky to see several military aircrafts approaching the city. Legion continues to stare as bombs drop from the aircrafts purging the monsters in fire. While the mutations burn alive, Legion walks through the fire not catching any of the flames and continues on her path for the Core.
Resistance members begin to lower from the aircrafts. They land on the rooftops and fire hell from above as others land on the ground. Armando and his crew are with the ground team and they lead the charge running into a herd of burning mutations. Armando fires from his gun arm, Madeira hands come alive over the strings of her guitar sending waves of electricity at the herd, Deadpool fires from his twin pistols while showing off.
Deadpool: You're dead, and you're dead, and you're dead, and you're – can you guess? Also dead!
Aminee also fires from her twin pistols at the herd, Kragen firing from his HK assault rifle, Meryl her Desert Eagles, and Skids protects them as best she can with her shield. The Resistance soldiers behind them taking out the targets they miss. Armando sees Legion up ahead.
Armando: Legion five o clock!
Armando, his crew, and the rest of the Resistance ground team unleashes everything they have towards Legion. Legion walks straight into it only watching as the bullets heat up and melt into hot liquid. The liquid taking shape and creating abominations that turn on the group and start to attack them. Burning off their flesh with their bodies and ripping Resistance soldiers to shreds. Legion grabs the electricity from Made and redirects it into Aminee. Aminee is caught in it before she can react, having flashbacks of her torture with Ocelot.
Madeira: AMINEE!
Aminee collapses onto the ground. Madeira runs over to her side as the rest of the team fights off the liquid beasts. The fire behind Legion begins to rise up and takes the form of a cloak figure with a mask. The figure stretches out its hand and touches the buildings the air team are on setting it ablaze and killing them instantly. The figure extends its flames to the aircrafts up above causing them to burn and crash into the city below. With that, all that remains of the Resistance's task force is Armando and his crew. Armando, Kragen, Deadpool, Meryl, and Skids circle around Made and Aminee. The dead mutations rise back up now under Legion's control as the demon child turns her attention on Armando.
Skids: We're fucked!
Armando: Everyone hold your ground! Made, can you carry Aminee out of here?
Madeira: Yeah, yeah I can.
Armando: Then get her out of here. We'll rendezvous at the checkpoint to Sector Nine.
Made picks up Aminee and looks at Armando.
Madeira: Don't you dare die on me.
Armando: I have no plans to die today.
Made escapes with Aminee as the others face off against Legion.
Legion: Friends of the Herald.
Deadpool: Hey! That's a nice fiery giant you have there. Can you make a giant size s'more?
Legion: Are we alive? Or are we nightmares?
Armando: You're a science experiment.
Legion: You would kill us?
Armando: If I have to.
Legion: You are five. We are many.
Meryl: So, the girl can count.
Legion: You would die for nothing?
Armando: We would die for the innocents you killed, and the countless innocents you continue to endanger.
Legion: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Armando: Romans 3: 23. I'm familiar with scripture, and I know for a fact you are the farthest thing from God that exists.
Legion: And we are made in His image.
Deadpool: If that's the case Points to himself God is UGLY!
Armando: I had enough of this chat. Kragen!
Kragen throws a smoke grenade at Legion. The area fills up with smoke blocking off Armando and his men from sight. The five charges and throws themselves at Legion with Skids shield to protect them. They come through the smoke all ready to strike her, but before they can ink black tendrils come forth and impales them. The tendrils hoisting them up into the air taking the form of upside down crosses and crucifying them. There they hang unable to move as blood drips down their arms and feet and falls to the ground. Legion walks away with the undead mutations never looking back.
Skids: T-this isn't happening! My shield isn't working!
Armando: Skids, try to calm down! Wade, can you break free?
Deadpool: Way ahead of you!
Deadpool rips his wrists through the spikes holding him in place, and removes the spikes on his feet before jumping down from the cross. Deadpool wounds heal over and he gets the rest of the crew down one by one as they perform first aid on each other.
Deadpool: I hope you have a plan B because I don't think guns and swords are going to work on that thing.
Armando: We need to regroup and get better equipment.
Deadpool: You think?
Armando: You got something to say, Wade?
Deadpool: Yeah, I got something you say. You nearly got us all killed – well, not me since I can't die, but the rest, and everyone else who came here is dead!
Armando: I'm aware, Wade.
Deadpool: Are you? Because you guys had the report file. Aminee got tortured by the psychos down at Isafaro to get it. You knew what we were getting into and this was your plan? To rush it!?
Armando: I didn't see you coming up with any bright ideas.
Meryl: Guys! This isn't helping! We need to get out of here now!
Armando looks over to see Meryl comforting Skids.
Armando: Kragen, you know this area better than any of us. Lead the way.
Kragen nods and leads the other away from the streets.
Cut to: Sector Nine Checkpoint
Aminee wakes up to find herself on a bench with Madeira standing watch. No signs of Vulture soldiers, Resistance, or Legion. Madeira turns around to notice that Aminee is up.
Madeira: Oh, you're up. How are you feeling?
Aminee: Like I've been electrocuted.
Madeira: I'm so sorry, Ami! That was meant for Legion.
Aminee: I know it wasn't your fault. It's just...
Madeira: Just what?
Aminee: Nothing. Forget I said anything.
Madeira: No, something is troubling you. I want you to tell me what it is.
Aminee: I don't want to talk about it.
Madeira: Well, that's unfortunate for you because all we have is time to talk. So, talk.
Aminee: What happened to the guards? Place looks abandoned.
Madeira: Who knows. They were probably called in to deal with Legion. Now stop avoiding the topic. What's wrong?
Aminee: You zapping me reminded me of Ocelot's torture. I guess I'm not as over it as I thought I was.
Madeira: You don't just get over torture. You never should have came here.
Aminee: None of us should have.
Madeira: Look, I'm just worried about you, all right? You're my friend.
Aminee: I know. I'll feel better once we're back at the base. Where's Armando and the others?
Madeira: Last I saw them they were holding off Legion giving us time to escape. Armando said to meet up here. I'm afraid they won't show.
Aminee: I figured you one to have more faith than that.
Madeira: That girl wiped out our entire team! We have to face facts here, there's a chance the others aren't coming back.
Armando: You always did worry too much.
Made turns around to see Armando and the others approach.
Madeira: Armando!
Madeira hugs Armando while Aminee stands up to her feet. Made looks over to see Skids in a state of shock as the others are still hurt.
Madeira: What happened?
Armando: We'll explain on the way. We need to get out of here. It's a long trek back to Sector Four.
Aminee: What about Legion?
Armando: There's nothing we can do now. We need to get back to base and come up with a new plan.
Deadpool: That'd be a start.
Madeira: How can we even begin to fight something that powerful?
Kragen: Hellsing.
Armando: And the one person who knows her best. Commander Jacobs.
