Chapter 7

Cameron

Her and Heinkel Wolfe were dressed in their usual uniforms, plus some additional gear: rope, assault rifle, one each, special grenades made by the Vatican that were supposed to spread silver nitrates through the air, and Cameron had a silver knife as well. Cameron had no doubt Wolfe had more, she had seen her pull a katana out of somewhere once, years ago, during the battle against Vlad Plasmius, plus God only knew how many handguns Wolfe was hiding. The mission was to fly overhead of Castelo Branco, Portugal, parachute into Castelo Branco, and then Cameron would use the Fawkes Invocation to go Ghost, and help Wolfe infiltrate the base there, and gather what data they could. Right now they were flying over the English Channel, across from each other. This helicopter was a drone prototype, made especially for Iscariot. Wolfe would summon it to them once their mission was complete.

Cameron looked at Wolfe sitting next to her. She didn't know what to think regarding Heinkel Wolfe. She had once thought of her as an ally, when she was human. But now, she didn't know what to think. She still hated Wolfe for killing those Hellsing soldiers, as well as kneecapping her. Yet, she remembered Seras's own memories of Wolfe, Seras seemed to believe that Heinkel had once been in love with a Japanese nun she fought beside, Yumi. Cameron's feelings were so complicated at the moment, part of her wanted to kick Heinkel off the helicopter now as revenge, and another part felt sorry for her as well. Now that they were in close proximity for this trip, Cameron saw the holes in Wolfe's cheeks, as well as wrinkles around her eyes that showed how many sleepless nights she had suffered. Wolfe's eyes turned to Cameron and she said, "We are half an hour from our destination. You should activate your power now." Cameron quietly nodded, unbuckled from her seat and connected her thumbs and forefingers together to form an inverted triangle and placed them over her chest. "Unlocking Full Ectoplasmic Power Level One, the Fawkes Invocation is now in effect. All power released until the Enemy is destroyed," Cameron said.

She once again felt the exquisite pain as ghostly and vampiric natures mixed together, and power flowed through her being like nothing anyone else could ever experience before at last the shadows dissipated, and she stood in a red jumpsuit with black belt, boots, and gloves with her blonde hair once again black as night and her mouth was filled with fangs. Heinkel Wolfe took out a crucifix from her robes and said, "You truly are an abomination now." "Says the freak with two extra holes," Cameron sarcastically replied. Heinkel's response was to punch Cameron in the face with her crucifix, knocking Cameron down and burning the image of Christ into her cheek. "This alliance is only for as long as we share a common enemy. Don't forget that, we are not friends," Wolfe reminded her. "Noted," Cameron said and spat out a tooth as her injuries healed, Cameron grabbed onto Wolfe and phased them both out of the helicopter drone. Cameron turned them both invisible and followed Wolfe's instructions, and they soon spotted Castelo Branco. What happened next she couldn't believe.

Just a mile from the city, and the entire city exploded! Cameron and Heinkel were knocked back by the force of the blast, flying back for miles before Cameron managed to regain control of her flight power and stop them. "Holy shit! What the Hell just happened!?" Cameron yelled. "We've been discovered! Damn it! They must have known that we were coming!" Heinkel cursed more in German and Latin. "How? We have no werewolves in Hellsing, Sir Integra checked!" Cameron yelled. "That means nothing! Thirty years ago that whore's fucking butler betrayed us just to become a vampire! It would seem that Hellsing still has traitors in their midst!" Heinkel told Cameron. "Can it, Sir Integra's not a whore! And I doubt that it was Hellsing, something else must have happened. We should go see what we can find," Cameron said, and flew back to the smoking hole that once was Castelo Branco.

There was only debris around the crater of what was left of the city. Cameron opened up her Third Eye to check, no humans were alive, but she sensed werewolves…underground. "Hang on, I sense werewolves, underground. They must have tunnels. We need to capture one and interrogate it. See what they know," Cameron told Wolfe. "Tch," was all that came from Wolfe, and Cameron opened her Third Eye again. There was one werewolf who was going slower than the others, Cameron flew above ground as fast as she could to catch up, the speed of the werewolf was incredible, but Cameron got ahead of him just in time and immediately flew straight down. Cameron found herself in a concrete tunnel that was pitch black. She let Wolfe down and got ready. In a half second the werewolf, in the form of a massive glowing black wolf, charged right at them. It tried to bite Cameron in half, but the half-ghost half-vampire grabbed its jaws and kept them open like a lion tamer. "Saw this in a Superman cartoon!" Cameron crowed as she ripped the top half of the werewolf's head clean off. Blood sprayed everywhere, and Cameron opened her mouth wide to drink it in.

Memories of the werewolf flooded her mind, in life she had been a slave in New York, in the 1820's, her name had been Leah. Her Master was a cruel man who often raped her, until one day Leah had managed to get her hands on a knife and stabbed him in his throat. Before she could get away the Master's sons caught her, and after beating her to within an inch of her life they dragged her to the woods, and burned her alive. As she laid dying, she saw the woman, a small woman with dark hair down to her ankles and chestnut brown skin, who tore the Master's sons apart with her bare hands. The woman who saved Leah's life, and gave her the power to never be hurt again.

Cameron saw it all, as Leah watched the United States over and over again promise freedom and equality, only to never live up to its promise. She saw as Leah rose through the ranks of the Order of the Fang, until she was given command of this base. Cameron saw Leah's memories as she reveled in killing all who were in her way, how she enjoyed the power she had over them all. And she saw what had happened. Cameron looked at the werewolf as she healed, struggling to get up, only for Heinkel to shoot her to keep her down. Cameron snapped her fingers, and Leah's existence in the world ended in a blast of supernatural sound and burst into a pure gold wolf made of flame. "I'm sorry for all you went through," Cameron said as the golden flame wolf dissipated. "Did you get the information? Anything useful?" Wolfe asked. "Yes, it wasn't us," Cameron said with a smile, "My brother and sister got more data from one of their bases in America, and they blew up ALL their underground bases, after evacuating. We got them on the run now!"

Cameron picked up Wolfe and flew out of the tunnel. As Wolfe summoned the drone helicopter with a remote, Cameron thought back to the two werewolves she had drank from. What joy she had felt from knowing her siblings had helped the war effort was tempered by the knowledge of Leah and Philip's lives.

Danny

Danny regained consciousness and realized he was on a bed. "Huh?" he said, then felt the needle in his arm. Strong hands pushed him down and someone with accented English said, "Be still! Your wounds are still healing!" "Wh-where am I?" Danny asked. "Right now you're right off the coast of New Zealand, on the H.M.S. Coleman. Who are you?" the man asked. "Ugh, man, you probably won't believe me if I tell you," Danny told him. "The entire world's at war with fucking werewolves man, not much can surprise me at this point," the voice said. Danny smirked a little and said, "I'm Danny Phantom." Danny opened his Third Eye and sensed the man's surprise, and disbelief. Danny raised the arm that didn't have what he realized was a medical needle replenishing his badly taxed blood supply and managed to summon a small ball of ectoplasm in it, for all of five seconds before he passed out again.
