Chapter 2

William Fenton

Washington D.C., U.S.A.

William smiled wide as he got into position to do pushups. It had been a long time since he really got to show off. Some kids, about 10 or 11 were super excited to see him, Willie Phantom, Real Live Superhero. How could he refuse to show them what he could do? Right then he was in his Human form, five kids sitting on his back. "Ready?" Willie asked them. "YES!" the kids all yelled. "Alright, let's do this!" Willie said as he went down then up. "ONE!" the kids counted. "TWO!" they counted as he kept on going. "THREE!" On and on it went as Willie kept on doing one-armed pushups with five kids on his back. All the kids were excited as he kept on going, cheering him for every ten pushups he completed until he reached fifty. "Alright! That's it for Human Form, time to Go Ghost!" Willie said as white rings flew up and down his body, turning his street clothes into a green jumpsuit with white belt, boots, and gloves while his black hair turned white and his purple eyes glowed green. "Alright, all aboard the Phantom Express!" Willie yelled. All the kids dog piled on top of him as he kept on doing pushups in his Ghost Form.

Up and down he went, laughing as the kids acted like it was the best carnival ride ever. After a hundred more pushups he finally stopped. "Alright, wanna see what else I can do?" Willie asked the kids. "YES!" the kids all yelled as they climbed off his large back. Willie stood up and cracked his neck as he made electricity spark in his hand. "I got the ultimate electrical power!" he boasted, "Just give me some targets!" There was plenty of trash on the streets, and kids picked up cans and bottles for him. "Alright, toss 'em as hard and high as you can," Willie instructed. The kids did as he said and one by one he destroyed glass and plastic and metal bottles, cans, and containers. After a few minutes of this Willie stopped and saw 'cousin' Danielle approaching with her baby Philippe. "Hey! Danielle! Why don't you show them what you can do?" Willie said, bringing the kids' attention to her.

"Who's she?" "Is she your girlfriend?" "Is that your Mom?" "No, stupid, his Mom's dead!" "Is that Morgan?" "No, Morgan's his twin, she's old enough to be his step-mom!" "I KNOW WHO IT IS!" one kid finally yelled above the others. It was a little black girl with her hair in a ponytail who yelled it, "That's Danielle Phantom! Danny Phantom's clone!" "Got it in one," Danielle said with a smile. Danielle didn't bother Going Ghost as she made a copy of herself and handed Philippe to the copy, the baby just watching with wide eyes the whole time. Danielle summoned green fire to her hand and threw it into the sky, making it explode to create an impromptu firework show. Danielle then clenched her hands and finally went Ghost, white rings soaring around her body as black hair turned white and blue eyes glowed green while her clothes were changed into a long-sleeved black and white tank top and black and white pants with white boots and one black glove and one white glove.

Danielle had a cocky grin as she made three copies that flew into the sky, making a one-woman three-way dogfight as the copies all flew around and blasted weak ghost rays at each other the whole time. Willie watched in amazement, he had never guessed that his Father's Clone could be so incredibly powerful and skilled, only the original Danny Phantom could do better than she was doing now, controlling three bodies that were fighting independently while a fourth cared for her baby. By the time she was done the kids had completely forgotten about Willie, and he couldn't really blame them. When Danielle absorbed all her copies the kids were all rushing at her, wanting to talk to her, to get her autograph, or just to touch another Real Live Superhero. Danielle did her best to talk with them, answer their questions, and all. "Willie, it's time to go, Sir Integra is sending some friends over to see us," she told him. He understood who those 'friends' might be and they both said their goodbyes to the kids before flying off.

"So, what's going on?" Willie asked as they flew back to their hotel. "Apparently Sir Integra is planning a big counterattack, and we're going to be needed to make sure it works. I think we're supposed to spy on the Order of the Fang and try to find where we should attack," Danielle told him as they flew. Electricity coursed through Willie then as his rage grew. He remembered it all, how the Order had taken away his Father, his home, murdered over a billion innocent people around the world, and desecrated his Mother's body to create a half-werewolf half-ghost clone of her. The Order of the Fang had much to answer for, and he would make sure that they would pay for all of it. "Just tell me who to kill," Willie said as they got close to their hotel. When they reached the hotel, they returned to their Human Forms and Danielle stopped Willie.

"Willie, listen to me, this war is too big for you to go off half-cocked. We can do many things thanks to our powers, you need to keep that in mind. You won't always need to blast your way out," she told him. Willie grit his teeth and nodded. "Now calm down," she told him. Willie took a few deep breaths to calm himself. "Alright, let's go," she told him. Danielle lead him to a large Reception Room that was normally used for business meetings, birthdays, and wedding receptions. Danny and Morgan were already there, Willie's Dad and sister wearing matching blue suits. Morgan's scars were healing, but everyone knew that her face would always bear the marks of their battle with Epsilon. "Alright, when is Alucard coming?" Willie asked.

"We've been waiting for thirty minutes now," Alucard's deep voice said from the ceiling as he and Seras passed through it and gently floated down. Alucard was holding a glass of something red and wearing his black suit while Seras wore her usual outfit and held a laptop. Seras opened the laptop and put it at the head of the table while Danielle and Willie sat down with Danny and Morgan. The laptop turned on to show Sir Integra at her office. "Good, you're all here. About an hour ago after endless meetings and threats, I've finally managed to arrange a plan. We are still in desperate straits, even though the nations of the world, what is left of them, have managed to secure their remaining populations in various safe zones. We must attack now, for the sake of morale and to gain a strategic advantage when it is least expected. Iscariot is sending Heinkel Wolfe, and three new Regenerators to aid us in this task. Also, we have been in contact with other organizations like Hellsing and Iscariot. They will be sending who they can to aid in our offensive. We have found a network of underground bunkers that cross through Europe, your job is to be our First Wave of the attack, to go in and open up passages for the others to follow," Sir Integra said.

"This is critical, we must seize their bunkers, this will allow our regular soldiers to reclaim the surface," Sir Integra said before the screen changed to show a map of Europe with four X's marked in Germany. "We have reason to believe that this is where the bunkers are located. Teams of two shall infiltrate each one and find entrances for reinforcements. We've already decided on whom shall make up these teams, Daniel and Alucard, Danielle and Seras, Willie and Heinkel Wolfe, and Morgan and Cameron. Are there any questions?" Alucard smiled at Danny and his family, before looking straight at Willie. Come see me at my room in an hour. I'd like to discuss something with you, boy. Alucard's voice echoed in Willie's head, making him seize up. Feeling the vampire's mind in his was like cold slimy death worming in one ear and out the other. "The mission begins in twenty-five hours, our best stealth jets shall await you at the Washington D.C. International Airport," Sir Integra continued, "Be careful, and may God grant us victory." Sir Integra cut off her feed then.

Danny went to Willie and said, "Son, are you ready for this?" "You really need to ask?" Willie answered. "Just remember the goal. We need to capture those bunkers, not destroy them," Danny told him. "I know," Willie said. "Just keep our end goal in mind. We need a win, a solid win, for everyone that's counting on us," Danny told Willie. Willie took another deep breath and thought about the kids he and Danielle had played with. "Alright, I won't forget," Willie told him. Danny gave Willie's shoulder a squeeze and told him, "Alright." Willie nodded, then looked at Alucard as he went past, wondering what the vampire could want.

Alucard

The No-Life King sat drinking some warmed blood from its bag. It was terrible, compared to fresh blood straight from a live victim, but it was better than cold at least. He was waiting for William Fenton to arrive, he wanted to see what the boy was like now. He saw a lot of fire in his eyes previous times they met, he wanted to see if that fire still burned. Knowing that Daniel and his children were also descendants of Abraham van Helsing made him want to learn all he could about their bastard line, to see how they compared to the Hellsings. There was a knock on his door at last and he said, "Enter." William came in looking impatient. "Have a seat, William. I'd like to talk with you," Alucard said. He was still wearing his black suit and had his sunglasses off and the window blinds shut, the only light in the room came from one lamp beside the hotel room's bed.

William took a chair and placed it across from Alucard and sat down, looking the vampire in the eyes, "What do you want?" "To talk, I suspect that we shall be spending a lot of time together before this war is over. I want to get to know you better, that's all," Alucard said with a smirk. William snorted and got up to leave when Alucard said, "Your Sister told me that you had better manners than this." That stopped the young halfa in his tracks. He eventually asked, "How is Cammie?" "She's adjusted well to her new circumstances. And her power has grown much faster than Seras's. Your Father would be proud, I'm sure," Alucard said as William sat back down. "I…wish she had come," William said. "She wanted to, but she must obey our Master's orders, until we launch the attack she is to remain at Hellsing Headquarters to keep England safe. You needn't worry, she's in good hands," Alucard said, then to get a rise out of William created the mental image of Sir Integra and Seras, only he replaced Seras with Cameron.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!" William yelled instantly, lighting flaring around him as his hair stood up. Alucard chuckled, "Just making sure you were paying attention. That was quite a reaction, one would almost wonder if that was where your proclivities lied." "You're a sick motherfucker, you know that, right?" William responded. Alucard laughed out loud at this then looked William in the eyes again and said with a smile, "You have no idea. But, I apologize. I was only trying to take your measure, to see what kind of man you were. It would seem that you are still more boy than man yet." "Well excuse me for being fourteen," William responded. "That is no excuse. In my day, boys your age were expected to lead armies. That is what you may have to do, are you ready for that responsibility?" Alucard asked, "To look men in the eye and send them to their deaths? To be responsible for the lives of others?" William never looked away the whole time and answered, "Ever since I became a hero, I've been responsible for other's lives. That's why I do what I do."

Alucard nodded in satisfaction, "Perhaps I misjudged you. Your heritage shows in that answer, you do your ancestor's proud." "I know," William said. "Thank you for this talk, it has been most illuminating," Alucard said and showed William to the door. William left, leaving Alucard alone with his thoughts. That boy just might be the one after all. I thought Daniel was, but his son burns even brighter. I can't wait to see how I can pull his strings… Alucard chuckled to himself at the thought, his plans were coming along nicely.
