Me: Reviews! I feel so loved! Woot! In any case, a new chapter, I'm spitting these out much faster now, but I cannot promise when that may slow down or stay put... So, thanks for the reviews and here's more! Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chains grinded softly as a woman covered in a torn wool blanket, shifted upon the cracked stone floor. Groaning in pain, the blanket was shoved off in a clumsy fashion as with wrists chained together with thick black chains made of raw magic, Seras's weak crimson eyes blinking, to adjust to this gloomy darkness, looked around. A cell, no bigger then her former room in Hellsing with cobblestone walls lathered in ancient ruins and a single steel door that permitted the only entry and exit. A cell meant to hold a very powerful undead, so why was she in it? Seras looking at the chains binding her wrists and ankles, gave a weak pitiful laugh. Why such measures? She was nothing but a servant to the king of undead, maybe that was why, whoever had taken her in that dark night may have been afraid she would be as powerful as her master.

Seras outright began to laugh even though shaky. Who in their right mind would ever think she was as powerful as him, she was nothing, not even in the ranking of being dubbed a fledgling. Sitting up slowly to stop the ache in her lower back, Seras sighing, looked to the cold ceiling that hung above. Her head ached, her mind raced... always unknowing what was going on, or what was going to happen next. She remembered... she remembered being taken from that dark forest by a cloaked man, and dragged into a cavern. Narrowing her eyes to the ceiling, Seras thought long and hard, she had seen upon entering the deep underground cavern, a wall of thick glass that swirled blue and by it... a leather bound book sitting on a table; the only furniture that was there she could see. That book... she recognized it... but from where? Didn't Sir Integra have that same book? If that was hers, how did it get-

"Seras?"

The young woman jumping turned her gaze to the far left corner of the cell as a small black object no bigger then a rat chattered her name. "W... Who's there?" she whispered. The object fluttering limply, turned around from its huddle in the corner, letting its beady red eyes look to the vampire who remained curled on the floor in a worried posture.

"Seras... Seras..."

screeching the girl's name, flaring its huge wings, the bat of jet black began to drag itself right for Seras who crying out, threw her self back hard.

With a loud crash from Seras's back colliding hard into something in the other corner, the girl trembling looked to her left as something smooth and cold had touched her fingertips. There staring at her with the ever eerie grin, a skull clean of anything, all that remained within that skull was a object that rattled inside.

"Walter... died... soul consumed... mine... nearly gone... Seras... you... in danger..."

Seras's eyes going wide as she watched this skull and heard the bat's voice, blurred images few through her mind. Hellsing in flames, Integra dead, Walter dangling from a flagpole... then they were alive, with crimson eyes... stalking the night, vampires. All of them, fighting side by side, Integra, Walter, a few other blurry faces... and Seras.

Agonizing pain shuddered up Seras's spine as she throwing her head back, wailed savagely. These memories tore through her very essence, something was wrong! Something had happened, but she couldn't remember!

"Seras... what... wrong?"

feeling the tiny claws on her left pant leg, Seras breathing heavily as she collected herself once more with the ebbing pain, looked down to the little bat before her whose ears twitched around. Eyes half crazy, yet...

"I... Integra?"

Her voice was barely audible as she spoke the name of her former Master's Master. The bat blinking, gained back a bit of its sanity as it nodded... "Integra... yes... am... I... but... for... not... much... longer... he comes... takes souls... makes them... his... and we... become... ash."

The bat, former Integra Wingates Hellsing, looking from Seras, turned her gaze to the fallen bones of her former comrade, friend, and lover. Inside the skull, as gloomy as the cell was, the monticule worn so long by Walter, glimmered within. "I... miss... him... Walter..." crawling on all fours from Seras's leg to the skull, as if a tender motion, gripped his skull with her wing fingers and hung her head onto the skull's ever grinning jaws. "His... child... I carried... when.. he found us... took.. him first... in front of... me... then... tore... my... child... out... took... her soul... and then... half... took... mine... let me... live... with my... pain... made... me tell... him... where... binding... book... was held... and left... me in... here... with... Walter's... remains... Walter... Walter... Walter..."

Losing half her mind once more, Former Integra chattered mournfully as tears of small slid down her furry face. Torn through her heart of emotion, the once proud Integra Hellsing, was reduced to a mournful woman who had lost everything precious to her.

Seras sitting there just watched with agony in her crimson eyes. How could this have happened? all of this? Walter was dead, and Integra who carried his child watched him die and have her unborn be ripped from her womb. What was going on in this world? What was going to happen now?

"Seras... please... kill me... please... let.. me.. fade... so I... may be.. returned... to his... arms... and to... hold her... in my.. own... kill me... please... Queen of darkness... kill... me... kill... me... kill-"

with unseen force, Integra's head went all the way around grinding the neck bones into many pieces... her crimson eyes falling unto Seras's own... no insanity was there, but full awareness as the bat's lips turned into a small smile of thanks... with a loud screech from the body's battle from death was lost, a plume of ash swirled around the skull as it cracking, faded to ash upon the cold floor. Upon settling to the ground, in the pile of ash, the monticule rested, glimmered, as if looking right at Seras with those grey eyes...

Seras, with wide eyes, fell back hard from the ash. How did her neck break? No one was here, no one but her... and what did Integra mean by the 'Queen of Darkness'? she had wanted to end Integra's misery, but not by killing her! Looking to her trembling hands, Seras was half startled to see crimson tears in her palms. Feeling the warm tears slip down her face Seras giving into a mournful cry... buried her face in her chained hands and began to weep loudly.

Memories flew through her mind, Integra, the woman who took her in when she was changed, Walter, the butler who was a friend. Hellsing... it was all gone now! Everything! She was going to die, just like them! Her soul taken by this man who was heartless enough to rip Integra's unborn from her body!

"I don't want to die... I don't want to fade! What's going on!!!" Seras screamed to the ceiling above her as the metal door before her grinded loudly as they rusty locks were being turned. Huddling closely to the ash of her former comrades, Seras with wide fearful eyes that still leaked tears, watched as the door began to screech open.

"Oh how the powerful has fallen!"

Seras felt her heart lurch to a stop as she heard that laughter, that voice... the silhouette of the man she had known for what seemed not so long ago, stood right in front of her. His fiery eyes blazing in the gloomy darkness of the cell.

"M... Master!"

Seras's fearful voice made the man laugh harder making her huddle even more into the wall and ash of her fallen comrades. That may be his body, but that was not Alucard!

"What's wrong fanged one? Why so fearful of me, you know me, or have you finally learned I am to take your loves consciousness and make him no more!" the man cackled as Seras with wide eyes, stared at him with utter loss and terror. My loves? I know you?

Silencing his laughter, the man narrowing his eyes, watched her. "Something is amiss here that I am not aware of." Pushing violently past the metal door Alucard in a feline motion suddenly stood right over Seras, leering down at her as she trying to make herself smaller, did not let her eyes leave his own. With a few silent moments passing, the man's lips turning into a cruel grin not anything like Alucard's real smile, his wicked eyes danced.

"He took your memories... how clever, did he actually think by doing something so dismal that it would keep you safe?! He's more a fool then I had thought possible, makes me ashamed he's from my soul!" eyeing the woman before him, his fangs gleamed with old blood as he watched her tremble beneath him. "Well, this will not do, how can I tear your mind apart if you do not remember anything? Then hmm, lets have fun, I am guessing he made you forget to the point of when Hellsing fell, you still think you're a fledgling, incapable of doing anything... ah yes, this shall be fun!" cackling loudly, he kneeling gracefully before Seras upon one knee, brought his face close to hers as his right hand savagely grabbing the chains binding her wrists, tore them to his chest making Seras cry out as she lurching had her head collide with his chest.

Chuckling cruelly in a soft manner, his fiery eyes looked down to the top of Seras's head as she used his chest to hide her eyes from his own. "So how shall we start this? Shall I ravage you till you bleed? Shall I force you to watch me take my victims? Shall I make you take me? Or... for old times sake.." grasping her hair in his other hand, Seras crying out, weakly looked up into the man's eyes as he held her head back, forcing her to lock gazes with him. "Shall I kiss you and see if you desire the King of Flame over your King of Darkness?" as he crooned, the man slowly brushed his cold lips onto her own making Seras want to heave. She couldn't remember anything, nothing! This man who clearly knew her was about to have his way with her and she couldn't remember who he was!

"Aldhelm."

The man kneeling before her, relaxed his grip letting Seras's strained neck try to recover as he turned his gaze to over his left shoulder. "Yes Ryu?" the man crooned as another stood in the cell's doorway. "Take your time with the wench, but soon after you've finished up, it will be time to take this world into your rule." Hearing this, Aldhelm smiling, nodded. "Agreed, and as requested, you took out anyone who'd try to go against my wishes?" Aldhelm sneered, the other man nodding stood tall. "Hellsing's head has been dealt with as has the Vatican and the former trump card, Anderson who hangs nailed on a blessed cross in the ruins of London, his two followers also in the ruins hanging by blessed nooses, they will fade into ash within the passing month. The Royals of America are being dealt with as we speak by my servant Kazul, their daughter to soon follow after, Kunisaku has been dead for eight hundred years and the other royal, Hakuyaoshi, is no match, he disowned his throne many years ago."

Upon hearing this, Aldhelm laughing, turned his gaze solely onto Seras before him who was trembling uncontrollably... her mind raced as she felt sick. She knew those that the man named Ryu had spoke of, yet she couldn't remember!

Chuckling, Aldhelm watched her with dark amusement. "Leave us Guardian, I am to enjoy this alone, already I feel his own agony screaming from within." The man sneered as Ryu with his own concealed smirk, nodded his head to the Fire king and left, making the door grind loudly from his departure.

Seras giving into a small cry, pressed hard against the wall as her eyes were met with his. This man was going to kill her! She didn't know why either! To be killed and not know why... had she done something that made him want to torture her? And who was the 'other' that was dubbed her lover?

Master, where were you?!

Closing her eyes tightly, the vampire felt the tears slide down her face. Where was Alucard? Where was her master? He changed her and always seemed to show at the last minuet, saving her. So where was he now!

Seras screamed as the cold palm fell unto her left cheek, smudging the crimson tears on her pale skin. Yet...

Seras with a small whine, pulled her left eye slightly ajar to see why he had stopped. Blinking, she pulled her eyes both open with confusion upon her very features as his other hand having been raised, claws extended, geared for her throat... was stopped in mid attack as his eyes... were colorless. Faint flickers of fire and crimson showed as the irises twitched. What was going on now? Seras's mind raced as she tried to pull from his cold hand.

"NO! Do not let go... I nearly got him!"

Seras crying out startled from the sudden voice of her Master's, be it faint like a whisper, it was his voice. Looked cautiously at him as his grip on her cheek remained soft, though it too having claws extended. Red sparks began to dance all over the man's body as she felt the power shift wildly, never dulling, but changing from the feeling of raw flames, to the raw darkness. Swallowing her saliva to help her dry throat, Seras watched him... and took a risk.

Rising her left hand timidly to the man's, weakly rested her palm on the back of his cold hand making the entire man violently shudder. "I... will not be... taken... by... a consciousness from... MY Soul!!!" the man's lips moving, screamed those words, yet Seras, terrified of him, gripped harder on the hand touching her face. "Please! What's going on, is my Master, inside you? Who are you... why do you hate me, what did I do?!" Seras practically screamed those words as she hanging her head, felt the hot fresh tears come upon her. Her fear was becoming to much for even her immortal soul to take... the pain, the loss, her head and heart pounding from a terrible loss... but she could not remember!

"I am.. the... King of the Fire Realm... I will take this world... as my own! Dracula is nothing... but my reincarnation... that I am going to devour! He has failed me! He does not... deserve to live!"

hearing his words, cold and harsh, yet burning... those fiery eyes... images flashed through Seras's mind making her eyes go glazed and wide. Alucard and her... embracing... walking together, laughing together... hunting together... her powers were immense as they both fought in wars, battles. Seras shuddered as she seemed to feel the very touch of Alucard's bare sweat lathered body on her own, caressing her, biting her with his fangs, and making her his with each painful thrust. Having changed her to a undead with her virginity allowing it... Alucard; took it away... Then his change... his eyes going brown then a sudden fiery red, another consciousness that came forth, the first ruler of the immortal damned soul, the very King of Hell, the King of Flame.

Blinking as her tears cleared, she looked fully on those colorless eyes with a small amount of understanding...

"Aldhelm..."

with the crimson sparks upon his body suddenly erupt into flames, the colorless eyes blazed as Aldhelm's full controlled stare, met her own. With a cruel grin crossing his pale lips, a deep chuckle rumbled from within Aldhelm's chest cavity. "Seems his spell is fading... you remember me then?" the man sneered as Seras with her now trembling hand still clutching his, smiled weakly at this man making him eye her oddly. "I remember..." she whispered as the man grinning, watched her. Her memories were few and far between of what Seras knew she should know. But... now she understood why her heart ached so horribly.

"Alucard..."

Aldhelm blinking slowly, eyed her... as Seras smiling weakly with blood tears slipping continuously down her pale face and unto Aldhelm's hand as her own, she rose her right hand. Reaching out in a trembling manner, Aldhelm baring his fangs, held his livid eyes onto her own semi glazed sorrow filled stare as she felt his warm cheek beneath her right hand. "I love Alucard... I remember... him... is what... Kami spoke of true? We... vampires can have no happy endings?"

Blinking Aldhelm, watched this undead before him... her fear finally taking its toll, making her go into a dream state. But... what she had said...

"Kami? You know of that man?"

Hearing Aldhelm's cold words hiss past his lips, Seras smiling sadly as if already accepting her soon to be fate, nodded. "He.. visited me... a few times... saying, vampires can never have a happy ending... Aldhelm... if you kill Alucard... then please... kill me... I cannot go on without him..." Seras whispered as she still holding that sad smile, kept her eyes locked onto his own.

"He chose to speak to you..."

Seras didn't even flinch nor cry out as the man pulling his hand savagely from her cheek and removing hers from his, stood up and turned his back to her. Sitting there with the binding chains rubbing her wrists raw, Seras looked up at him... wearing the clothes of her Master, Seras couldn't help but keep that sad smile. She'd never see him again, never feel that warm bare skin on her own, never to feel his seductive touch, his fangs on her skin, his kiss, to never hear his voice... she remembered... and her heart ached for what she has lost.

"Alucard..."

Aldhelm turning halfway around, stared at Seras from the corner of his eyes as she having hung her head, buried her face into her chained hands. Groaning softly, his eyes snapped down to his right hand as it began to tremble... though as weak as he was, Alucard remained within... fighting, wanting to keep this woman safe. It wasn't his undead heart that did the most power to Aldhelm... growling the man clutching his hand tightly to stop the trembling, turned fully and looked down at the woman before him who wept softly.

Alucard's human heart was getting in the fucking way! Even if chosen by Kami, she was in the way! If Alucard knew she was alive, he was still willing to fight. Rising his left hand above his head, flames gathering slowly into his palm, began to form into a evil twisted blade of black glass. Not a blade to rip apart bodies, but the very essence of anything and anyone it touched. With fiery eyes livid, and the blade's weight resting in his white knuckled hand, Aldhelm stepped closer to Seras's small body by his feet. The woman having heard him, sniffing, rose her face up meeting his eyes with her own. Glancing to the blade and back to his eyes, Seras's lips turned into a small smile as she hanging her head, had the blond frail hair to fall away, exposing her pale neck.

"I hope your conquest goes well... be careful though..."

Hearing her mumbled words, Aldhelm's lunging arm, froze as the blade nicked a few blond strands from her scalp. "Be careful... for what do I need to be careful of?" the man sneered as he slowly began to raise the blade again...

"I think... Ryu... isn't... going to let you take this world... or at least for yourself... he has a book of binding, a book that binds whosever soul to the reader of the incantation... that was how Alucard was binded to Hellsing."

As Seras spoke, Aldhelm locking his arm once more behind his head, ready for the downward thrust, yet watched her.

In a sudden violent instant, red sparks launched all throughout his body as the aura of Alucard's powers surfaced. Aldhelm falling back hard, held his blade before him as he watched it crack loudly, only proceeding to shatter black shards all around, clattering onto the floor and melting into nothing but black goo.

"Alucard, you cannot take me! I am your maker!"

Throwing his hands to either side of his head, baring white knuckles, Aldhelm rising his face to the ceiling, bellowed his rage as his own flames interweaved with the red sparks of Lord Dracula.

Seras, blinking, watched with wide eyes as her tears ebbed away. Her mind regaining itself from the terror that made it glazed... she felt him, his power, his lust, his wants, his hates... everything that made the man, Alucard.

Stumbling hard from weak limbs and the heavy binding chains, Seras rose to her feet. Not even thinking of the blood dripping from her wounded wrists, the undead made her way slowly towards the ailing Aldhelm. "St- Stay back..." hearing the words harshly slip past tightly clenched fangs, Seras stopping, just watched... even with little memory... she knew now that there were two in that body, and both were trying to claim dominance of it.

With a loud cry, still clutching his skull, Aldhelm crashed hard onto the cold floor sending both flame and sparks into the ground. With a whirr as if ancient machines starting up, runes of ancient times began to blaze a vivid crimson upon the walls, ceiling and floor. The air became dry and hot as Seras rubbing her eyes to work away the irritation the heat caused, she continued to watch, unsure of what to do.

"Do not fret vampire, I assumed this was going to be the case when he awoke."

Seras jumping hard, looked to her right as there, standing with an inch between his back and the wall; Kami. His golden eyes stern as he watched the collapsed Aldhelm and runes that blazed and sparked. "Kami? What's going on? I don't understand..." Seras cried as the man slowly making his way over ever so silently, smiled as he stopped right alongside Seras. "The King of Flame's only weakness is emotion, hence the reason he had no heart when ruling his realm, but by coming here, he gained back what he long since lost and now a part of him wants to keep it the way it was before he had regained himself." Kami spoke as he turning to fully face Seras, gracefully waved his hand right over her head... with a faint hum and vibration in the air and the scent of pine and sap, Seras blinking looked to her shackles as they humming with a golden glow, cracked and faded to ash.

"The reason you cannot remember anything was Alucard's human heart, for the sake of him to not want your heart to break, binded your memories up to the point that Hellsing fell. Being close to him though, that bind is weakening and soon you'll remember everything... but one word of caution young vampire, stay close to him or the battle will go one way. The Guardian will be coming back in about fifteen minuets, remember what you can do, stay close physically and emotionally, and you shall do fine getting back to the night air. I will leave now, this is all I will do in your life; for now. Please prove me wrong that vampires cannot have happy lives. Until then young Seras Victoria..." upon speaking her name, Kami's voice and being faded away in a matter of seconds, leaving nothing but a faint hum of his golden magic.

Blinking back to her already mending wrists, Seras looked to the kneeling Aldhelm as both flame and spark had intensified. Keep close... both physically and emotionally... Keep close... How? With her mind racing, Seras in a blind scurry, scrambled to her feet as she practically lunged right for the fallen Aldhelm. The man sensing her approach, with half shut eyes, glared right at her as she with arms reached out, tackled the man causing a loud crash as they collided heavily unto the cold metal ground.

"Get off wench!"

Aldhelm screamed as his hands grabbing Seras's upper arms, squeezed savagely causing her bones to grind. Seras crying out in agonizing pain, pulled herself even closer to Aldhelm with their faces only a few centimeters apart. Watching him with very worried crimson eyes, Seras blinking, saw past that fiery gaze... she saw them... Aldhelm... Alucard... a demon and a vampire... fighting, tearing at each other. A being of roaring flames and fire filled eyes flaring its massive tattered looking wings as a being made of darkness with one eye crimson and the other brown, flaring its own wings of tattered darkness. Aldhelm and Alucard. Shaking her head vigorously from both the mental realm her vision was pulled into and the burning pain from her arms being twisted... with very little thought if her idea was a good one, Seras pulled even closer to the King of Flame.

The flames seemed to instantly snuff out as the runes began to flicker and lose their brilliant crimson glow. A few sparks that remained, wildly bounced around going into nothingness as the air became once more damp and cold.

The body beneath her seemed o grow limp as the hands once binding and ripping her arms from their sockets, released and crashed to the cold ground faintly twitching as the man's eyes half open, became glazed with the fiery spark lifting... Seras's own eyes half open but fully aware, kept her lips pressed roughly onto Aldhelm's... he not returning the gesture, yet became docile... his eyes no longer burning, held massive confusion as the man within; Alucard, was relaxing and trying to recoup his powers for another onslaught if needed.

Seras though, feeling the tears once more rise from all the shit that had just happened, closed them swiftly as she pushed even harder with a hunger and need for this body's physical touch.

"Please... stop... please... I won't try to take your blood to make you go dormant, I won't try to rid of you, but please... let Alucard live! Please Aldhelm, please let him live!"

Aldhelm blinking, heard her cries, he watched those tears slip down her face. Even though she knew she couldn't stop him when he wished it, she still tried. Did his other side really mean that much? Aldhelm, feeling exhaustion collapse on his being, sighed deeply as he drew his eyes shut.

"I will... grant your wish... for now... fanged one..."

As his words whispered through her mind, Seras pulling her eyes opened, lifted her lips from the body's and saw a sleeping face then a man filled with flame and rage. What had happened? did he just go to sleep, or was he planning to attack again?

Seras's thoughts were interrupted as she faintly heard the oncoming footsteps. Ryu! He was coming! Wildly looking around for an escape, Seras's heart pounded as the only way she saw was that metal door where the man was to be walking through very soon. "Alucard! Aldhelm, please, anyone, wake up! He's coming and will bind you and kill me! Please! Kami!" Seras's panicked eyes looked everywhere in a futile search... nothing, no place to run, no where to hide.

remember what you can do, stay close physically and emotionally, and you shall do fine getting back to the night air.

Remember... what I can do...

Seras sitting up on top of Alucard's collapsed form, looked at her trembling hands. Remember... her memories were few, but there... closing her eyes, Seras dove into those few and scattered memories, something must be there to help her... what could she do? Was she really more then just a fledgling? Queen of Darkness... Isn't that what Integra had called her? Seras's crimson eyes flew open as all fear and trembling subsided. Gripping Alucard's shoulders tightly as she looked to his sleeping face... She knew what to do.

Closing her eyes halfway, nothing happened at first, yet with a faint flicker of a crimson glow on her petite body, beneath the man she loved, swirled a dark vortex.

"Lord Aldhelm, you've been in here for a- What the?"

With a loud crash, the leather book was splayed out on the ground as Ryu in utter shock, stood there in the doorway facing a empty cell. In the center, the faint remains of a vortex faded away leaving him with nothing but a book of binding... growling harshly... the cloaked man turning his gaze to the fallen book, rose his foot up.

Causing a loud crunch, the book slammed into the furthest cell wall as Ryu lowering his foot, snarled viciously. "the little bitch... how dare she... Fine, when I find you... I'll bind you and then your fucking Master! Kazul, retrieve that wench for me once more, and this time, bind her up as if she were Dracula himself!" Ryu screamed as he turning his back to the cell, stormed out leaving the crumpled book sitting on the cell floor in the middle of ash from the fallen Hellsing and her love.
