Welcome to Gaia! ::

The only thing that bothered me was the fate of Alucard.

If I had done things differently:
Schro wouldn't be needed...that is all

Alucard sucking up everyone's blood, in which he becomes way too powerful, breaking the seal that constricted his power. Of course Integra kills the Major, and the Major is happy not because of the war but of the fate of humanity on a thread because of Hellsing's "Crowned Glory".
Heinkel gets killed by Alucard, and Integra tries to command him, but doesn't get through to the part of him that wasn't "monsterous". SERAS AND ALUCARD BATTLE!! While they battle, Integra finds Walter and Doc dead, but skeleton mina is there, but with lots of notes and a sample of her blood that could stop Alucard (An antidote for Vampires to be mortal, so any critical blow could kill him). Seras ends up in the mouth of Alucard as he drinks her remaining life source, Integra racing to the Battlefield fills one of the bullet casings with the blood sample she found. Seras is dead and becomes one of Alucard's familiars. Integra and Alucard stand toe to toe with each other. "Stop this madness, Alucard!" she screams to the top of her lungs. "Not until you show me what you can do, ATTACK ME!!" Alucard tries to find an open shot but Integra won't let that happen, finally she find an opening and fires her gun with the "poisoned" bullet and hits Alucard in the arm. Knowing this shot will only make him mortal she would have to yet again give him one more critical blow before he dies. They have a human-human fight with a sword/gun-gun/gun display, and feeling the effects of the poison, he realizes he has lost. Integra penetrates the sword through his torso, and Alucard falls to the ground. "Have I been...bested, Sir." Integra's final words to Alucard is "Yes you have been bested." and Integra sheds a tear and conquers Alucard with a wooden stake through the heart.

The Hellsing Organization(without Integra), the Last Battalion, and the Iscariot Organization cease to exist, leaving London to regain its strength once more.

how was that? biggrin I could expand it more but my attention span right now is null and void burning_eyes

If you ask me, your rules are too strict. But I'm about to risk being flamed and tell you my honest to goodness alternate ending for Hellsing that I know Hirano would never write in a million years, yet I think is precious and I would not hesitate to do if by some ironic twist of fate I got the rights to Hellsing (try to conceal your gasp of horror).

I've been disappointed with Hellsing ever since Bernedotte died. Though I know it's an integral part of the storyline, it has none the less stood out as a negative turning point in my Hellsing fandom. Ever since after that I have been constantly disappointed with the series in one way or another, though I know that I could offer no better alternate storyline, and so that does not matter in the least. What I will comment on is my alternate ending post-Major's war, and what I would have liked to see happen.

I would have very much liked for Integra to have gotten over Alucard, fallen in love, gotten married and had children; not for the sake of the Hellsing Organization, but for the sake of her own happiness. Though outwardly Integra accomplished much in life, I cannot imagine that inwardly she was happy pinning away for Alucard for those 30 long years. (This statement will undoubtedly spark some powerful opposition, which I will be happy to address when such statements are made). Basically I would have the entire series stay the same up till Integra's dialogue with Alucard toward the end of the last chanper. Based on the Hiranomoe team's translation (I'm sure Dark Horse will word it differently):

Integra: Too late. You're too late, Alucard.
Alucard: I'm sorry.
...
Integra: I am... already an old grandma.
Alucard: That's fine with me.
Integra: Good. I need a new nanny.
Alucard: Huh?

And then I would have Seras come busting in the room (excluding the panty shot) screaming like a banshee, her shadow arm flailing behind her and a few small children at her heels. She would complain loudly about how naughty they're being, and then Integra would chastise them softly and they would immediately shape up and behave. They would then notice Alucard, Seras crying “Master!” happily and the children pointing to him asking “Who’s that?” Integra would then announce that it’s long past their bedtime and ask Seras to please escort the children back to the nursery (using her shadow arm to herd them out of the room xd ). Integra would stare affectionately after them long after they leave, and Alucard would stare at Integra with an unreadable expression on his face. Eventually she would look at him.

Integra: I told you you’re too late, Alucard.
Alucard: ... I can see that now.
Integra: Is that fine with you?
Alucard (unreadable smile): ... Who can say for sure?

THIS IS NOT A CRACK ENDING!!!

I'll pound anyone who says it is. Okay, Ja, it's a sucky ending I know, but that's what I would honestly do if I had my way. I think Integra would be a great mom, grandma and even great-grandma; for the child(ren)'s sake and not just for the sake of creating an heir to the Hellsing bloodline. As stated earlier, Integra is nobody's brood mare, yet I can't think that she would be altogether unhappy with an upstanding human man and raising a family (though for some reason I picture her being a widow more than a wife sweatdrop ). Plus I have some fun fantasies of Seras being the children's nanny, playing with them in the nursery while Integra watches proudly, using her shadow arm as a makeshift craddle for infants and something fun for toddlers to climb on, etc etc.

Yeah, I'm weird. I've spent too much time with my own siblings, it's bleeding into Hellsing. All right, do your worst. *Bares chest forward like Andromeda to the sea monster*

YAY!!! blaugh Ich liebe Kopii! heart

Danke! 4laugh

The biggest reason that Hirano disappointed me was because Walter died instead of going back to working for Hellsing. I was also kind of sad that Integra didn't let Alucard turn her into a vampire, which would have been really cool.

In my ideal ending of Hellsing, Walter would rejoin Seras and Integra after the Doctor's death. He and Integra would embrace, he would apologize for everything and then they'd all go back to the Hellsing mansion. The last chapter would feature less comedic panels, and it would reveal that Integra and Seras had been having lesbian relations for the past 30(?) years. And during the scene where Alucard tries to bite Integra's neck, she would give in instead of shooting him. Then all four of the Hellsing organization's key players would be vampires and it would be implied that they would all continue defending England from other evil threats and live happily ever after.

THE END

(This isn't crack, by the way. That's honestly how I would have liked it to end.)

I disagree. Personally, ideas of romantic relations between Dracula and Mina... always make me gag abit.

Hellsing was more romanticized in this aspect, rather similar to the film Bram Stokers Dracula... However, since Hirano left it vague, I can be free to interpret their relationship in a bit less of a romantic light, as it should be. Because by the novel, there isn't really a romantic love between them. =/
Dracula just doesn't do things that way.

....As for Alucards relationship for Integra,
One might say that what I just said makes it hypocritical to say that he has something with Integra, but I believe that the past hundred years have opened his eyes again to who he was, and who he wishes to be once more.
Therefore, I think it's appropriate to have AxI, but less fluffy on the Dracula and Mina side of things....


Also, your idea of a flashback before he tries to bite her leaves me with a kinda sour taste in my mouth. XD
Y'see, With an ending like that I'd feel as if Integra was merely a replacement for Mina.

(Or, dare I say it, what if just like the Gary Oldman movie... Mina's a reincarnation of Elisabeta... and Integra's a reincarnation of Mina/Elisabeta aswell? Eww, no, DO NOT WANT. XD )

I believe what Alucard has with Integra is an entirely new thing, or at least something that he hasn't had for a few hundred years.


So yeah.





Also, regarding Iscariot... I myself would've liked peace, but not a full peace. The peace I invision is a truce, a real truce, for the sake of Europe, but that doesn't mean that they stand eachother in the least.
I could see, perhaps.... one or two Iscariots being able to get along with Hellsing better then the others, but overall it's rocky terrain, but much more solid then it was years ago. 3nodding

I've always thought that Alucard's feelings for Mina were ambiguous, but I've also thought that Alucard's feelings for Integra were ambiguous. After discussing this issue with Thess, I'm inclined to think that it is quite possible, perhaps even probable, that Alucard had a romantic relationship with Mina.

Here's what Thess said in response to my comment that "I think it's so subtle that you can hardly even tell it's there. I think that, in order to see it, you have to really want to see it. I don't think it's obvious at all," which I posted in the Hiranomoe forums:



I can imagine Mina's feelings for Alucard allowing her to be openly passionate, especially considering that openly passionate behavior was so often suppressed in the Victorian Era, and I can imagine Alucard's feelings for Mina helping him to feel like a man again, guiding him toward his eventual redemption. Of course, I can also imagine Mina's feelings for Alucard being nearly nonexistent and Alucard's feelings for Mina being much more obsessive than romantic.

It is open to interpretation, but I don't think the idea of a romantic relationship is inappropriate or even farfetched.




You're right, of course. Alucard has changed a lot since Mina. But, as I said, Mina may have been the one who began that change, just as Integra was the one who ended it.





That's merely your interpretation. I don't look at it that way. In my eyes, Integra is a parallel, not a replacement. In my experience with women, not one of them is a replacement for another. In spite of all the qualities they may share, all women are unique.




Iscariot is so fanatical that they'd kill Jesus himself if his preachings opposed their doctrine. That kind of fanaticism does not allow for a truce or for toleration.
