After 2 long years, I've finally given myself the kick up the backside that I needed to finish this, I'm not too big on writing fics anymore and I'm concentrating more on my actual novels etc :) thank you so much for bearing with me, I've gained a lot of readers and probably lost a few, you're all amazing and got me through a few tough years of my life when I struggled most and reached out with anything. Thank you so much.
THEBIRDOFHERMESISMYNAME
The mansion was moving, almost crawling with power now as the demons on the distance tried to play havoc with our minds. A rustle behind me turned me on the vicious defensive, down on all fours. Alucard was long gone to the front lines, leaving his more than capable lady to her defences. My swords slipped silently out of their sheathes as I stood upright, wings tucked tightly into my back. It was only my little spy demons, as they fluttered up to my arms they seemed panicked, talking in demon tongue to each other and me.
"Shhhhh, easy friends, what news do you carry?" I muttered to them, my eye scanning over them, they looked injured, bitten and scratched.
"The Angels! The Angels are here!" They hissed through their tiny teeth, shivering under the weight my gaze took on. "They have kiiiiillled all the sins, the realms of hell belong to Lucifer, all of them! He has brought them all. The Angels are cooperating with him," this was the worst news we could have received and, sending my spies back to their realm, disappeared to inform Pip and the soldiers.

"Father Anderson, you will be personally overseeing this mission, Hellsing will take a back seat to the mission to destroy the prince of hell. Good luck."

"Luccccciferrrrr, the queen is in there with the creature. There are only human soldiers but they should be eaasssssyy to dissssspatch," the demon hissed, looking down upon its master with slitted eyes. It's wings rustled and long tail scraped the ground. With every step of its four large clawed feet, the earth beneath it burned. He was a monstrosity of colossal size, ready to destroy.
"Good, then go," a grin spread across that wicked face

"The Angels are here as well! Remember what I told you, aim for the hearts, with demons be quick and double tap. With the Angels, aim for the halos," I gave them a quick wink, to which the look of confusion was fantastic, drawing a soft chuckle from my throat.
"Halos, eh? Suppose it isn't the strangest thing..." Pip laughed, his men followed. They were a brave lot, smiling at me, standing nearly a foot over them with clawed hands, and fanged mouth grinning back happily. I trusted these men with my life, and they trusted me with theirs. I glanced to Pip and my smile lessened. He clicked immediately and sent his men to their places, they saluted and charged off, energised for battle.
"Pip, I need you to be careful, even I am not aware of what you can do yet... You could turn on us at any point as well, I want you to stay with Alucard or I at all times were the only two who could help if things go badly... Okay?" My silent meaning did not slip past him... We were the only two that could put him down if we needed to. Physically Seras could, but it would destroy the poor girl to have to do it.
He nodded carefully. It was an understanding. I hugged him carefully with the claws and horns well out the road, feeling a tentative hug back before Seras appeared to take her place with her boyfriend. I nodded to her and parted with them, listening to the conversation behind me as I went.
"Ma petite, if we survive this... I want you to be my bride..." There was a squeal of delight and I smiled as I left. There was tremors starting, one particularly powerful one at the start that tasted of my mate. His power leaking through the air and then blasting... What the hell happened... It's was suddenly like somebody had turned the air con onto high, it was almost choking as I tasted it, then it was dying, leaving a powerful taste behind, slowly choked out by a burning power that was approaching fast. It was my time to shine.
Outside was no better. There was fire and explosions (apparently the wild Geese had thought it was a good idea to put mines in the gardens) and bits of demon everywhere, so far I had seen no allied body parts which was a good sign. Spreading my wings I glided down to the heat of the battle, drawing my swords once more and beginning the rampage. There was thousands of demons around me and my mouthwash aching at the sides as I spun and began taking heads... One! Two!... They began falling around me, blood spraying across my body and face. A long slender, pointed tongue snaked out to lick the blood, a moment of pure ecstasy before I continued onwards... But I was losing control... The closer Lucifer came, the more wild I became. He was riding towards us on no other than a towering dragon, black scaled and flame breathing... A real dragon... God. What the hell were we to do. It's shadow fell over me and I lost it.
Ripping flesh, crunching bones... My teeth bearing down on a hundred fleshy creatures, neck whipping and tearing parts off. My metal claw dug through a chest and grasped a heart, not demon. Glowing winged thing. Angel. Heart pumped blood into my mouth, tasted warm... Liquid gold. Claws clicked on cold concrete, crawling towards prey... Demon is scared, demon is terrified, why? Fight, fight like demon should. Only one eye, should not matter... FIGHT. KILL. A long low growl escapes, demon is still scared, can smell it. Gun aimed at me... WHOS THAT.
"No. Lilith, come back to me." My mind was ripped back from the abyss. In front of me, whilst I crouched down to him, was Alucard... No... Vlad. He was in his battle armour, long hair streaming around his shoulders in ebony curls, beard and moustache the same shade of black. His cape whipped around him as he offered me a hand up. As I took it, I swung up and kissed him, my handsome wonderful mate was exuding power and we were going to win this. He smiled at me and I pecked him again before turning to face the dragon. Lucifer was perched on its snout, fangs on show, an unhappy snarl on his face.
"How very quaint, beauty and the beast. Vlad, you're looking good for nearly 500... Lilith! I don't think you've met Draco," he sneered. Original name. He didn't scare me anymore. He was not the thing I feared.
"Lucifer... Still jealous?" I wish my jesting could have been braver, but his evil smirk was tormenting.
"How could I be, my child is strong, I am strong and I'll have my queen of hell in shackles again soon." He patted the dragon beneath him, his hand barely the size of a scale, "you've already met Leviathan, he doesn't recognise you anymore, he's just a beast now... Your next one will be too,"
My claws flew to my stomach protecting the life within, my lips lifting from my fangs. The hurt inside burned fresh as the battle raged around me. Alucard was gone. Pip flashed in and out of my vision, he had sprouted a twisted pair of horns through his hat and a set of leathery wings... Seras was not in sight, but the sound of her guns ringing true was a good noise. We were winning, and Lucifers less than steady stare showed it. He knew we were pushing them out. The Angels had appeared sometime ago without my knowing, flashes of wings and gold. Another faction here... Purple robes with pistols and a huge man with an accent at the front. His robe and long swords cutting down through the masses. A priest? My attention returned to the creature in front of me. It's slitted eyes glaring hatefully into mine as I started forward and touched it's nose. The eyes softened slightly.
"Levi, my son... I don't know if you remember me at all... " the eyes hardened and he grabbed my arm, ripping the metal claw straight off and devouring it. I leaped back in shock, did I really expect that to work? A mammoth greed demon became his next meal as he threw it to the air and took it in one bite. Lucifer sat atop with a look of pure pride on his face.
"You won't have him back, not with me here!" He roared with laughter, jumping down from the dragon and striding toward me, his own blade like claws scraping the ground, crimson eyes glowing under silver hair... And an arrow appeared from nowhere, lodging itself inside his breast, followed by another, burning with hellfire this time.
"That's why we're here..." A snarling hellhound with fire roaring off it, nearly the same size as me launched itself towards him, twisting as its prey sidestepped whilst snapping the arrows out of his body. A huge tiger-like demon with twisting horns and several tails winked at me on the way by... Lust. And Wrath. My favourite sins. I turned my attention to the dragon as my hand reformed from shadows, touching him once again on the nose. The facial expressions smoothed out and the lips closed from there eternal baring of teeth.
"Levi, I'm your mother and I don't want to hurt you, please... Please son... " a tear streamed down my face and the world stopped for just once second as the beast let out a sigh and turned from me... Only for its massive jaws to open as wide as it could and fly down towards me. My life was forfeited by my own son. I could hear Alucards howling roar as the teeth descended upon me... Only to sweep past and snap Lucifer up into their jaws. Never would I have thought that the King of hell would have been killed by his own son. Lucifer fought and screamed as his bones were crushed and destroyed. As his own son... Devoured him as he had his mothers arm a moment previous. The battlefield froze, demons from all over turned to watch their master slip away into the dragons gaping mouth. They were horrified almost as he died, and with them their shackles turned to their next of leader, which was Leviathan.
The poor boy, having just eaten his father, turned back to his human form, standing naked in front of us, his face stern and straight as he approached.
"Mother..." He didn't even get to finish as the holy blade slid through his chest. My child died having atoned for his sins. The only one of which he was guilty was of being born. I cradled him as he fell.
"That's the last that ahm here to kill! Back to the Vatican with me." He was gone before Alucard could wring his neck. My boy lay in my arms and an arm lay around my shoulder, coated on thick metal armour. Holding me whilst I held our child.
"Mother." Levi coughed at me, blood pouring from his mouth, "I'm sorry... I wish I had come home. Father. I wish I had met you, I wish you had been my true father." Alucard lay a hand to his head and spoke to him in a language I didn't know. A blessing it seemed as he began to crumble in my hands. His body dusted, floating away in my hands in silver slivers, dissipating into the atmosphere and I was left without. Clambering to weakened human legs, I looked toward the millions of blood red eyes looking back to me for direction.
"Just go home. Just go home and do not come back." It was simple, they disappeared. Back to the hells from whence they came. The gardens of the manor were a bomb site, covered with bodies and blood. I began sweeping the field towards the manor, looking ever ghostlike, my feathery wings trailing the ground behind me, blood clothing me. My mate far behind. A golden topped head caught my attention.
"Gabriel." I murmured quietly, leaning down to wipe the hair away from his remaining eye. "I offer no mercy."
"Yes, I understand. May your future be haunted with bad luck and death. The stench of it follows you creature." He was vengeance incarnate. Even as I pushed my hands up into his chest cavity and removed his heart he remained glaring spitefully. As soon as the heart was gone he too began to disintegrate, golden dust littering the field like a fine layer. It was done. My life was incredibly easy now that I seemed to have no enemies. Yet I had lost some some things that were incredibly important to me. My head hit the ground and I let out a long, low solemn howl. Then it all went dark.
* A few months later*
Pip and Seras were ever the stunning couple at their wedding in the - somehow clean- grounds. The events of a few months ago were now but long forgotten, a new beginning bringing smiles to all our faces. Integra, cold hearted as ever had allowed both Wrath and Lust to court her, even if she didn't allow them any further. Walter remained the ever vigilant butler, watching over us. As for us? I glanced over to Alucard, sitting across from me, our baby girl in his lap, his eyes glowing gently as he cooed at her little smiling face, far advance for only a month old, sitting by herself in his lap. He leaned into her mad nuzzled to to which she cuddle his head, clasping her tiny fingers into his ebony hair. Life was good here. I never wanted to leave.
