Chapter 9: Vengeance, A trail of blood.

--

Another gunshot was heard through the hallways of the abandoned warehouse.

"Go ahead, fight me, run, hide, it does not matter you'll die all the same" Alucard spoke as his guns
blasted holes in everyone or everything that even dared to come close.
No one even would look at things that were his.
touching anything that was his was suicide.
But to kill the one most dear to him was unspeakable,
it was not the first time, and he had told himself he'd never let anything like it happen again.

"Shit like you deserves to die a thousand times" Dust and blood covered the hallways at every step. Enemies fell left and right without him even paying attention to his targets. His thoughts were with her. He'd lost her in exchange a single moment of pleasure. He stood still to think. "Why do I feel regret?" He looked down at his hand, covered in blood. A smirk formed on his face, Then the image of a white smooth hand appeared in his and in front of him he saw a beautiful ghostly image of Seras with the prettiest smile he'd ever seen he reached out to it, before it faded into nothing. "Seras, what have you done to me?" A bloody tear ran down his face and fell in his hand which he clenched to a fist. "Will you ever forgive me?"

--

A barrage of bullets struck him and woke him from his musings. He growled as fury once again overtook him "I will destroy all of you, SCUM! You will teach you not to touch what is RIGHTFULLY MINE" With that he summoned his hell hound (I don't have to mention that with the blood cleansing ritual used to bring him back, his hound of baskerville was all that remained of his familiars) He turned around with an infernal roar ready to obliterate whatever dared to interfere with his revenge.

--

His eyes went wide in shock, he could not believe who was standing before him with a glare that could kill. "Rightfully yours? Ever since you turned me you made fun of me, used me. And when you had convinced me you loved me, you raped me, why do you act like you care for me at all? I hate you, MASTER!" her words were spit out like venom. His hell hound just sat back and watched in frustration as he could not possibly attack the one his master had chosen as his mate though he hated his master being insulted.
Alucard did not care what she said though. It was his Seras. She was not dead? Ignoring the shots she had fired at him, and her outburst of anger, Which was kind of understandable seeing what he had done to her, he walked to her, he wanted to feel if she was real, She did not move a muscle until he was like a feet away. Suddenly he felt a terrible pain in his chest, her hand had laced out and slid right through, she stood there with Alucard's trademark smirk on her lips, glaring at him his hound let out a whine and wanted to attack but Alucard gestured him to stay. "You really for one moment thought I'd forgive you!?
Either you kill me now, or I kill you, I don't give a damn either way, you ruined me."

Alucard's face did not betray any emotion, but his dead heart was crying, it was his fault, she had all right in the world to hate him. He would not resist. "Go ahead, Seras Victoria"

--

"YOU GOD DAMNED ABOMINATION!" A high pitched yell could be heard from behind Alucard as a large explosive shell hit his attacker in the gut and made her pull back, flinching in pain. Alucard turned around, "That voice...".

There next to his hell-hound, armed with a huge cannon that could only be identified as the Harkonnen stood a dark mist covered blonde, fire in her eyes, tendrils of darkness surrounding her. "Careful master! That person over there is a fake! Please, don't believe anything she says!" Alucard's confusion was evident at this point, as one of the two "Police girls" leaped to try and plunge her arm into his heart.
Dark blood splattered all over the place and an agonizing scream could be heard. The shadow-Seras had thrown herself between her master and his attacker. Her hand piercing through the shadow girl's back and coming out at her stomach. "Master... are you alright?" She asked in concern as she studied his face not caring about her own situation.

--

"Marvelous! To zhink zat girl vould be capable of zeparating her soul und body zu come to hiz aid. She truly is hiz childe" The wicked major laughed observing everything through the security cameras set up in the compound "I'm sorry mein fuhrer, I zid not expect ze kitten to be able to habe zuch villpower, I vill make sure 'er body is destroyed" The doc pleaded "Nein leave 'er, I want to zee how ze warrant officer fares using zat cloned body you created" He stared at the screen with a malicious grin,
ghost versus duplicate. This should definately be amusing.

--

Alucard stared at the shadowy figure of his lover. "Seras, is it really you?" His hand moved up to cup her chin "What did they do to you?" His anger lit up again and he looked over at the fake "Filthy maggot, you thought I'd not notice the difference between you and my real fledgling? I will leave nothing left of you" He lifted his Jackall and fired, The fake Seras just ducked and avoided the bullet with ease
"Fool, ze girl over zere may be her spirit. But what do you plan to do after destroying 'er body? Are you pleased having to live with 'er being a mere ghost?" The fake Seras Laughed, Her voice sounding strangely deformed.
"It's that cat boy" Seras hissed. "Master please let me fight him!" She pleaded to Alucard who shook his head. "Seras, do you really want to live as a ghost, a shadow for the rest of eternity?" Seras's looks sharpened. "He won't just give my body back, and I can't let him kill you too, I'm sorry master, but I care for you too much" She gave her master a soft kiss and turned to her duplicate who made a growl and backed off.

--

Alucard could not help but smirk as Seras dashed at her copy catching her by surprise and shooting a Harkonnen shell into her face at point blank. A loud roar came from the fake who after regaining balance and wiping a trail of blood from her face laced out with both hands and thrust them though the shadow Seras. With a loud high pitched yelp she fell to the ground and dissolved into a puddle of blood, Alucard wanted to shout her name. His eyes wide, this could not be happening. Seras's duplicate came for Alucard who suddenly regained his smirk making her (Or him considering it's Schroddy's soul occupying the body) freeze in place. "What's so funny?" He turned around to look and then noticed dark tendrils coming for him, enclosing themselves around his neck and arms. He struggled and gasped for breath. A last tendril made it's way into his throat with an incendiary Harkonnen round clenched in it, the round going off inside his stomach causing the entire body to be blasted apart from inside.

"I expected fighting myself would be more of a challenge" Seras smirked walking back at Alucard, swayin her hips.

--

He smiled affectionately at his sweet fledgling, Even as a ghost she was stunning. She even had the ability to give off physical contact as a mere ghost. When she stood in front of him she held her arms out to hug him but they went right through him. Her expression faltered and became more sad. "I'm sorry master. I fear I don't have enough energy to sustain this body."
Slowly her image began to fade, one could have sworn seeing a tear running across her ethereal face, Alucard's hands shot out as to grab her but it was like grabbing air. "Seras, I'm ..Sorry, If you leave now I'll never forgive myself. I.. I lo.." He could not get it out, three simple words that were all she needed to know, but he never used those words and they felt so foreign Seras put a finger on his lips and shook her head "I love you too Master, what happened was not your fault, all you have done to me has been good. Farewell, I'll miss you. My love"
with those words the last of her faded away, a genuine smile that'd make anyone fall in love with her siring her cute face.

Slowly he let his hands droop at his sides, once again he was alone. Forced to walk the world alone for eternity. "At least she knows the truth now. She won't hate me." He said to himself as to soften the pain tearing inside his chest. "This is ridiculous, she meant nothing to me! Why do I care?" The lies only made the pain worse. He wanted to believe it, to be able to press away any and all emotions like he used to. Emotions can kill you. His fledgling was the proof of that. "Damn you, Seras Victoria" He loved her, and he hated her for it. You only really know what you had once you lost it.

He knew that vampire or not, Seras was so pure that heaven would surely accept her.

With this said he could tell, even after his death he would never be united with his lover again.

God had once again played a horrible trick on him.

For the second time, the one God he served betrayed him.


Seras' death had been avenged. Now she knew Alucard would always love her she could go without regrets. But everyone knew Hellsing would be so empty without her...

And poor Alucard, would never be the same again.


I'm sorry for the lame ending, There's a lot of people that did not want Seras to die.

But if I did not make a sad ending it would be harder to make it a decent one.
--

..Still I can't let it end here.


A loud growl could be heard behind him, Half in trance he was looking straight ahead at the place his lover's ghost had previously occupied, he could not accept she was really gone forever.

A howl from his hell hound caused him to turn around in frustration. Where was that critter? He wondered but was quickly answered by the sound of the creatures irregular breathing. Slowly it came walking backwards around the corner dragging something after it, Something of which a single glance was enough to make Alucard run into it's direction and push the creature away wrapping his arms around the package. He was now holding Seras's dried-out corpse. The first question in his head being "How? Seras destroyed her body herself right?" Even like this, she looked like a sleeping angel. The very sight of her state disgusted him though, her small frail body was wrapped up in a tight straight-coat, her arms, neck and legs had ring burns where obviously she had been chained with silver shackles. And a large sharpened silver crucifix was thrust into her chest.

"Wretched cockroaches" he growled as he began to undo her bounds, seeing her situation was about the same as his all those years ago when his master let him out of that dungeon he knew what to do. A second growl from the hound followed by a whimper made him turn around aiming his gun at the creature.

"Let me do my work dog!" He did not have to shoot the animal anymore though, as a gloriously grinning major was standing over a knocked out bleeding hell hound. "How useless, You plan to revive 'er uzing your blood? zat would work if we had indeed zealed 'er away. We killed 'er. She's dead" He declared with a smile, "Und zu vill join 'er"


Cliffy!, wait, can you even call a fight with the major in front of a dead Seras a cliffy? Ah well.
