" Our first urgent business is the rebuilding of headquarters " said Hamilton as he and Cruger sat in Integra's office. It was a few days after the Shorty and Devestation inciddent.
" Of the ninety-six base staff member, only ten remain alive. Of those three survived because they were away that day. In other words the only staff to actualy survive the attack are you, I, Mr Landers, and miss Delgado. Miss Drew is not of our affiliation. and Bridge and Sky are already dead ".
Cruger nodded and took a puff of his cigar " How goes the investigation into IT "
Hamilton smiled " Ah yes, Troobian ". Cruger extinguished his cigar
" Thats right. It holds the key to this situation ".
Hamilton held up a sheet of paper " All hands we can spare are presently looking into it. Via the convention of twelve,MI-5, and MI-6 are also cooperating in the investigation. Even the national museum is currently searching it's full archive... but nothing has been found. There were several groups devoted to such things as the occult and military and military studies in japan, and france.And one dungeon and dragons group ".
The haired man raised an eyebrow " Dungeons and dragons? "
Hamilton suppressed a grin " one of there members is named troobian omega ".
" HUMPH we might as well have no information at all " Cruger lit another cigar and stuck it in his mouth.
" My apologies. At this point, we know nothing more than it's slight fundamental meaning ".
Cruger stared at the bussiness man " Slight fundamental...meaning? ".
Hamilton shrugged " It seems to have some ties to the word millennium. Ten centuries. One thousand years ".
A light bulb turned on in Crugers head " No there is one more ". Hamilton cocked his head
" Pardon? ". Cruger took a second to shift his cigar to the corner of his mouth.
" The group that challenged the ENTIRE world for the glory of thr MILLENNIUM EMPIRE. Half a century ago ".
A trail of sweat ran down Hamilton's forehead as comprehension donned on him.
Cruger crossed his arms over his chest " Hitler,Germany. The Nazis, The third Reich. Proceed with the investigation. OVERLOOK NOTHING! ".
" Understood " Hamilton nodded " Anything else? "
" Regarding replacement staff members. Hve Jack and Z called in the others of the wild Geese? "
" Yes sir " Hamilton turned to leave when Bridge burst into the room with Sky close behind. Hamilton pulled Sky into a hug and kissed him. " Whats wrong? " Hamilton noticed that Sky seemed nervous and shivery.
Bridge presented Cruger with a letter. The blue haired man took it.
" A letter? " he asked wondering it's significance.
" Notice the sender if you would " said Bridge his eyes twinkling.
Cruger's face paled when he saw who the letter was from.
" Yes " said Bridge grinning maliciously.
Cruger cast his gaze on everyone in the room.
" Vatican secton XIII...The iscariot agency?! "

" Members of the Hellsing organization. How would you like to enjoy an art museum together this fine autumn? I shall await you at 3PM on the 10th of september at the following place...
Signed Enrico Maxwell, head of the Vatican section XIII, the Iscariot agency "
Sky repeated the letter over and over again in his head. He and Bridge were in there room. He was sitting on the bed, while Bridge dug through the closet trying to decide what he would wear to the meeting.
" OOH how does this look?! " He was wearing a fish net shirt with elbow high leathe gloves.
" Sexy " said Sky who wasnt even looking. Bridge had sensed something was wrong with him but decided not to pry. Now was the time to pry.
" Whats wrong champ? " asked Bridge as he straddled Sky's waist. Sky felt himself harden automaticaly and his inner beast growled with excitement, but he quelled it.
" It's just this whole thing... with the v-v- "
" the Vatican? " offered Bridge and Sky nodded and started to move Bridge around on his lap.
" It feels weird hearing from them. Knowing that just a little over a week ago I was one of them. And now I don't know ".
Bridge wrapped his arms around Sky's neck " Your not at fault in this Schuyler " said Bridge soothingly " You became a vampire involuntarily. You didnt choose the night. I chose it for you and for that I apolegize. But I am glad I did it. I really like you Sky and Im sure Hamilton does to. If youd like I'll talk to father maxwell and explain the situation. It won't really do anything but I want you to have some closure on the matter. It's the least I can do for my master ".
Sky raised an eyebrow " Your master? I thought that was you ".
Bridge shook his head " Nope, Im way to submissive for you. Therefore your the master, master ". He nibbled on Sky's ear opening the cage to Sky's beast. The undead paladin ripped both his and Bridges clothes off and threww Bridge onto his stomache. Sky roughly parted Bridges ass cheeks and slammed his throbbing cock into Bridge and started pounding. Both vampires reathed with pleasure as Sky continued his assault. Bridge moaned and screamed his thoughts a jumbled mess. Yet he had one clear thought. " If this is how he fucks now, I wonder how he will be when he drinks blood and becomes a full vampire? " That thought made his orgasm all the stronger.

SEPTEMBER 10TH, Newtech City, the Newtech war museum, in frontof a piece by Kaster " Wilander, earl of worchester, at the battle of mamon plain "
" What time is it Hamilton? " asked Anubis Cruger as he and the other man stood in the location said in the letter.
" It's just about three O'clock " said Hamilton checking his pocket watch.
" ... They invited us and now there late. I doubt this... but they may have lured us into a trap " said Cruger calmly. Hamilton shook his head.
" No. Regardless WHO and WHAT they are... I do not think they would try anything in publick, broad daylight, and in the middle of hostile territory ".
Suddenly they could hear voices approaching them. It was two men in conversation. One appeared to be in his early twenties, long blonde hair in a ponytail, the other was a much older gentlemen of mid forties. Both wore brown slack and brown vest, crosses hung around there necks and glasses on there faces. They noticed Cruger and Hamilton and said "Ah ".
" Oh my, perhaps were late " said the younger of the two.
" So it appears " agreed the older man. The younger man quickened his pace towards the two.
" Hello,hello. It seems ive kept you waiting ".
" Thats close enough " said Cruger stopping the men at a few feet. " What in the world does the VATICAN want? Moreover, the ANNIHILATION AGENCY ISCARIOT, a name to hush a crying child! "
" Ahh this will not do. you seem to hold quite the grudge " said the young man as he took off his glasses " First I should greet you. My name is Maxwell, and Im the head of Iscariot. Pleaseed to make your acquaintance ".
Cruger narrowed his eyes " Self-Introductions are meaningless. But since you have given me your name, I am Anubis Cruger, Director of the Newtech city branch of Hellsing. Sir Integra Hellsing, the head of all Hellsing could not be here do to other matters. Now what is your business here?! "
" Yes father Maxwell. Please reveal your plans " said Bridge before Maxwell could speak. Everyone turned to see him and Sky walking over behind Doggie and Hamilton. Bridge wore a button up shirt of fine silk, long sleaved, and colored blood red, black jeans, steel-toed boots, a black beanie and sunglasses. Sky wore a a black wifebeater, and blue jeans, and a simple pair of tennies.
Maxwell grinned at the sight of them. " Well it's the Nosferatu Bridge, Alucard junior, or little draculina " and who else do we have here? "
Sky shifted his gaze towards the floor " H-Hello father Maxwell ".
Maxwell smirked " Schuyler Tate. You would show your face in of me. Now that you have become an abomination to the church?! " he yelled mockingly and making Sky wince. " Once again greetings Bridge ".
Bridge smiled and pulled out one of his guns " Greetings Mxwell and farewell. YOU. Just called my master an abomination and a sow ". He aimed at Maxwell " Don't think that I'll let you leave this country ALIVE. You're as good as dead human!! ".
Maxwell smiled not afraid in the least bit. " Ohh how frightening. We will never get anywhere with such a scary bodyguard waving a gun around. We are here simply to talk with you. But if that is how you want it...we must follow suit in order for us to retain equal footing " with that said he snapped his fingers " AAANNDERSONN! "
Father Anderson entered the hall everyone was in, wielding two long bayonets. As he started walking over everyone could clearly hear him reciting a passage of the bible. Maxwell and Sky's eyes widened both knowing this was not good.
" N-NO! Stop it Anderson!! There is no need for violence stop this!! ".
Doggy started sweating he could feel the priests intent to kill.
" ' will be settled wi just a blow. Whit good's Isarot or the Vatican, if we let an enemy slip oot o' oor grasp!? ".
Maxwell was sweating now " He's lost all control now that he's seen you. Go leave this place for now! We'll try again to-- " But Maxwell sentence was cut short as Bridge pulled out his second gun flining off his hat and sunglasses in the process. His demon black hair waving down to his shoulders.
" HEHEHEE, Yes!! let us kill Judas priest! " Bridge cackled sadisticaly.
" HAHAHA Ye not Alucard bu' te will do vampire ".
" N-NO! " screamed Maxwell as Anderson and Bridge lunged at each other weapons raised.
Suddenly the side door burst open and in marched Syd dressed as a tour guide and leading a group of Senior citizens.
" Alright then everyone! Here we have the painting gallery! " Syd told the group bright and bubbly as she led them through the room. Hamilton had to give the girl credit for bravery. Bridge and Anderson were frozen on the spot in fighting stances looking very malicious.
The old folks in her group werent afraid either. In fact they seemed to think it was part of the gallery.
" Ehh? Why do you suppose that priest has them sword thingies? " asked one chewing imaginary gum.
" Oh I'll bet this is that AVANTE GARDE stuff! My grandkids love it ". said another
" Dear, dear! this fella's holding a gun!!
" Ohhh that's one whopper of a pistol! "
"I tell ya I was in Manchuria, we sure didnt have any guns like that! "
" Good grief, Todds started goin on about manchuria again! "
" Bridge " said Anderson as wave after wave of old people continued through the room.
" What? " asked the vampire.
" Ah've lost interest ".
Bridge nodded " Yes, this is no atmosphere for fighting ".
The priest turned his gaze towards Sky. " Schuyler "
Sky nodded " Father ".
" Ah'll be heading back tae rome " Anderson told Maxwell
" I see " said Maxwell in relief.
" Anderson smiled kindly, complete oppoite of his murderous one a few minutes ago.
" This is ae nice museum. Let's bring the children fae the orphanage next time ".
" What a minute Father Anderson " said Bridge all of a sudden " I just want it to be known that the way Sky is now is not his fault " This got Anderson and Maxwell's attention
" He really did have the notion to kill me but someone beat him to it, and during the event he aided me in the fight but was caught by the enemie and I had no other choice but to turn him. Thats all I wanted to say ".
Sky stared at the priest " Father Anderson, thank you for taking such good care of me all these years, weve been a wonderful father to me. But I have very deep feelings for Bridge and I'm happy with him, I know there can never be any forgiveness but I just wanted to tell you this ".
Anderson chuckled " Schuyler, you have al'vays been so kind, kinder then' all oof Iscariot. Hellsing is your place now ". As he turned to leave " But nex time Ah'll kill ye both ".
Sky smirked " Not if I kill you first, priest "
Anderson chuckled and was gone. Bridge took Sky's hand smiling brightly " Come on lets hit the gift shop "
Sky nodded and they headed off.
" And what about your guard duty? " asked Hamilton.
" With Anderson gone, you should be more than sufficient alone " called Bridge alone before they exited the room.
" Whew, it is difficult to talk here. Why don't we continue this in the cafeteria outside? ' suggested Maxwell.
" Hm? " Doggy looked like he didnt comprehind what he meant.
Maxwell suppressed an eyeroll "I seem to keep repeating myself... but I have come here to talk "
Cruger eyed him for a minute " ...Very well. We will both leave our dreadful subordinates behind. RIGHT? SWINE? ".
Maxwell swallowed the replie that threatened to come up and exchanged it for another one " Payback for earlier. Fair enough I shall endure it!! ".
The group reloacted to the Cafe but not before Hamilton gave Syd the thumbs up and she returned it. The man had guessed that something would happen and had made the plan with Syd to run a diversion to halt anything that was with a 100 percent going to happen...
In the cafe Cruger and Maxwell sat across from each other.
" We know of your situation " said Maxwell getting right to the point " You came under attack by organized ghouls and are on the brink of of destruction. And based on what we have heard, you are conducting a frantic search ".
Cruger sat there silently and Maxwell continued
" Also, you have not found what you search for ".
" Indeed, that is the case ".
Maxwell leaned forward " Millennium-Troobian...right? This is, how to say, very top-secret, but we possess a piece of information about Millennium-Troobian. Want me to tell you? really? Is that what you wish? Is it really? ".
" What do you mean to say? " asked the blue haired man.
" It is unheard of of for us to offer assistance to you INFERNAL protesants. But we thought to repay the debt we owed from that violation of treaty that time we sent Anderson after Integra Hellsing. And we want you to reconize this ".
Cruger nodded " Fine you have our consent "
" But thats not quite enough. Not enough for me to tell you ".
He narrowed his eyes and smiled " There is an important word required when you ask something of someone. Please! ".
" Now you're trying to take advantage of us! " exclaimed Hamilton who stood on the side.
" Hamilton!! " said Cruger silencing the man " We can acquire top-secret vatican info with just one word. It's not a bad deal. Besides, we are not in a position right now to be choosy ".
Hamilton nodded his head and said no more. Maxwell sat back in his chair looking far to smug for his own good.
" Please. I don't care how a thing it is. Would you tell me?. Director of the special agency of Iscariot, Vatican section XIII of the roman catholic church. Father Maxwell "
" Ok! Ok!! Agreed. Director of Newtech City branch of Hellsing, the royal order of british protesant knights, Anubis Cruger.
It goes back a hundred years give or take, to World War 2. Large numbers of military personnel fled from a defeated Germany. Kameraden Bavarian, Spider, Helpers gate, Brother Kreuz, Nahid, Odessa. Such organizations and assorted expatriate Germans assisted in this mass flight. There primary destinations were the many south american nations sympthetic to the fatherland.
" What the hell does any of this matter? " demanded Cruger " Anyone with a passing war fetish would know this ".
They all began their movements just before or after the defeat of Germany. That much is certain. Fleeing the country during the war would have been desertion. The Millennium-Troobian we know is the name of a project and a military unit. Thet are the ones who carried out the highly classified transfer of resources and personnel for the Nazis. This Millennium-Troobian has been working diligently since the initial stages of the war. They ran around occupied German falsifying documents while expanding there resources and gathering promising men of talent. They transfered everything to south america...confiscated jewish property, works of art, precious metals, foreign currency, valuable securities, and so on. From the smallest gold tooth to the largest submarine.
Cruger was shocked by the news
Maxwell looked at Cruger a wild gleem in his eyes " You wish to know how we know do you? Because the Vatican helped! Considerably! "
A few feet away at another table three figures sat at a table drinking tea and listening to Maxwell speak.
" It seems they have finally discovered us Mein Fuher Gruum " said Morganna
" What does it matter? " asked Broodwing " Everything is just about ready for the operation "
Gruum smiled his pale almost skeletal face looking cruel " Yes soon the time for war, glorious, glorious war will be upon us, I wonder how they will take it? "...TBC
Next chapter: Bridge, worried about Sky's refusal to drink blood takes it upon himself to create a situation where his lover will definetely want to. After all nothing is sweeter then the blood of REVENGE, till then!!
