Integra calls Alucard and tells him to return at once, as the Queen has called for a gathering. Meanwhile, a bunch of old Nazis are frustrated with the Major, as he promised to turn them into vampires, yet he hasn't. The Major claims his orders are top secret, direct from their late Führer. A Colonel hits the Major, but the rest of the Nazis aim their guns at him. The Major says he'll imbibe on the infinite pleasure of war. Elsewhere, Maxwell has a meeting with a priest, asking him about his past. He knows the priest collaborated with the Major 50 years ago, and has his executed for this.

Anderson arrives at where Alucard's group are, and after a brief fight with Alucard, gives them details of where they can get a plane to fly back to England. Alucard's group return to the Hellsing headquarters, where the Queen, Round Table and some Iscariot members, including Maxwell, are waiting. They are unexpectedly interrupted by Millennium member Schrödinger, who says he's everywhere and nowhere. He brings them a message from the Major. The Major introduces himself, and when asked what his purpose is, but he says they don't have one. He has the older Nazis executed on camera, and when Maxwell calls him insane, he insults his God. He says his true enemy is Britain, Hellsing and Alucard. Alucard tells him this was an excellent declaration of war.

Integra signals for Alucard and Seras to fire. Alucard seemingly kills Schrödinger, but his body vanishes. Seras destroys the tablet displaying the message. Schrödinger returns to Millennium's base, as the Nazis take off in their fleet of zeppelins and head to London. Meanwhile, another member of Millennium, Rip Van Winkle, lands on the British battleship Eagle along with some other Nazis. Thanks to some some traitors in the ship's crew, who have become vampires, they quickly take control of the ship. However Rip kills the traitors anyway. She paints a swastika on the ship's deck.

Back at the Hellsing headquarters, Integra sees Seras cannot eat regular food any more. She tells her she's no longer human, and it's time she accepted that. She cuts her own finger with a knife, and gets Seras to lick the wound. She then tells her to get ready, as they've lost contact with the Eagle. Integra and Walter go to a Navy base, where Sir Penwood is. Some SAS teams have been sent in via helicopters, only for the helicopters to both get shot down. Satellite photos show the Nazi emblem on the Eagle, so Penwood turns over control of the operation to Integra. After discussing various options of how to get their vampires onto the ship, Walter comes up with a plan that can get Alucard on, using a special aircraft.

Later on, Alucard dives down in the aircraft to ram the Eagle. Rip shoots him with one of her magic bullets, which she can control and hit targets multiple times. But whilst the aircraft explodes, it strikes the Eagle, causing a fire. The surviving Nazis fire on Alucard, but he unleashes his powers and tears them apart.

Rip, terrified of Alucard, regains her composure and fires at him, hitting him multiple times in an attempt to push him off the ship. But he then catches the bullet in his mouth, and crushes it with his teeth. Defenseless, Rip becomes paralyzed with fear, letting Alucard walk up to her and punch her in the face. He pins her to a wall by shoving her musket through her, and then sucks her blood.

This is seen by the Nazis, and the Major congratulates Rip on accomplishing her mission. After he and the other Nazis say goodbye to her, he tells them all about how much he loves war. They're going to have a war beyond any other, and will remind their enemies of what it's like to live in fear. The zeppelin fleet continues to fly towards London.
