Claws of the Beast

*Uh I don't own Hellsing please don't sue me. I only wish to write for fun. Sorry for some oocness but its hard writing a character you yourself didn't make. *

After she witnessed the strength of one of the new recruits she wondered " Why did I choose him?"

A few seconds later Walter came in with a vanilla file and a white piece of paper. "Ma'am after some searching I found it."

"Let me see it Walter." Integra said staring off thinking about something.

Walter handed her the file, and began speaking as if knowing it by heart, " Lance Tashan, First Sargent in the American organization similar to this one except for it run by the American military. Its called the Vampire Extermination Team, or VET. These VETs are based all over the American countryside. His VET was stationed in New Orleans, Louisiana. He killed over two hundred vampires in his three-year stay in the VET organization. After those three years he quit for some unknown reason. His date of birth

is missing. And, hear ma'am this was some research I found that might interest you." He handed her the white paper. " Apparently four days after he quit the squad leader of the New Orleans VETs was brutally murdered such as the way that the fellow was on the television was two nights ago."

"Hmm. Have Alucard and Seras keep and eye on him."

"Yes, Sir Integra." Walter said as he exited Integra's office.

Out of the shadows slowly and smoothly appeared the red clad vampire Alucard. "You summoned me master?" he grinned slyly.

"Yes Alucard, I wish to know what you know about this character." She handed him the picture of Lance Tashan.

"Nothing master." He said blankly

"Nothing?"

"His mind some how blocks my telepathy." He placed the picture back on the wooden desk, with a sly look on his face "Anything else my master?"

"No, That will be all for now."



Alucard faded back into the shadows.

"What type of human can shield themself from even Alucard's telepathy?" she thought deeply.

"In the name of god impure souls of the living dead, shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen." Seras along with the new troops.

Walter came and handed her, her orders for the night.

"What I have keep a close eye on him?" she said shocked.

"Along with silencing the target. He will be assigned to all the missions that you're on. Until Sir Integra sees fit."

"Yes Walter." Seras said as she walked towards her squad for the night. She saw him there the one who asked if he had to use the gun or not. He actually had a gun this time. But, he wasn't wearing the military fatigues he was issued. Instead he had the Hellsing insignia on his shirt. She looked at him as she spoke. "There has been reports of a vampire hiding in a building the south of London. We are going to investigate the situation." She said still eyeing the odd figure.

As the troops boarded the armored transport she grab Lance by the shoulder.

"Yes?" he questioned.

"You are to wear your uniform while on duty." She said

"I'll try and remember that next time." He said giving her a playful grin.

**

The ride was bumpy and sort of slow. Seras sat across from the unknown werewolf. Trying to read his face, but that was impossible because he gave her the same childish grin as if saying you wanna play?

**

"We'll go up floor by floor." Seras said.

Lance sniffed the air. Death and decay surrounded the place, lots of it. It sent a chill down his spine. "So much." He said look more seriously now.

"So much what?" Seras asked.

"Death." He said blankly

One of the troops kicked down the door. Others quickly started pointing their guns around in all directions. Nothing.

The squad she had consisted of six people including her. She decided that it was best that they didn't split up.

They slowly marched upward checking all the rooms for ghouls, and other NHB. When they where about to reach the last set of stairs, the trooper in front of Seras, tripped the laser that ran across the first step. He exploded right in front of her. She was knocked back by the force of the well-placed bomb. Then immediately a ghoul dropped down from the gap that was the staircase. It stumbled and rolled, as it seemed to have no equilibrium. As it slowly rose to its feet it was met by a bullet to the head. Seras looked behind her and saw Lance holding his automatic rifle with one hand. The gaze he wore was an angry scowl.

With brow lowered he grunted, "Theres more coming."

Seras turned and saw ten ghouls drop from the hole. Everyone opened fire upon the mindless minions of what ever was up stairs.

Soon the troops began running out of ammo as ghouls just began to drop non-stop out of the hole. One of them panicked and ran for the stairs. Another explosion rang through the small corridor.

Lance saw that more ghouls began falling out that one too.

"Crap!" he shouted over the gunfire, " They're going to surround us. Get back to back and keep them off each other." Lance turned and put his back up against Seras'; the other two troops followed their lead.

Soon the guns begun to click dry. Lance knew what was going to happen, and he wasn't going to allow that. He shut his and very quickly decided on what he was going to do. When everyone said that they where out of ammo he did what he knew. He charged the ghouls that where coming his way. He lead with a right hook to the middle ghoul's turning its head to mush. He brought back his elbow and smashed the one to the right's head. Then proceeded to punch the next one. His left leg tripped the left one and he brought down his left foot wrecking its visage.

Seras noticed what he was doing and did what she could with the ones in the front of her.

Lance head butted the next casing it to fall to the ground. A thunderous sidekick decinagrated the mid section of another, he continued in close hand to hand combat. One bit his biceps. He winced as he beat it in the back of head with his rock-crushing fist. When no more came he glanced over to see Seras beating fishing off her last one.

Gore covered his hands and blood ran down his left arm.

"Mother fuc-" he was cut off by a bullet to his dome piece. He fell to the floor.

Seras stared in horror as Lance fell. A dark chuckle sounded from the gaping hole above him. Seras' face when from shock to rage as she climbed the few pieces of stairs that remained after the vampire not realizing that she had no weapon or any way to kill it.

The vampire smiled. "What Pretty pretty vampire you are." He smirked. " I'd hate to kill such a delicate flower as you."

As she charged at the freakishly good-looking vampire. He said, " You have no means to kill me." He grinned again.

A clawed hand sunk itself into the floor from the far hole. Then another. Slowly both vampires saw a dirty blonde head poked out of hole. Seras could see that it was Lance, but he was different. Wolf like ears took place of his human ones. The clam blue eyes he once had where cold and dark as glared at the male vampire. He pulled him self out more so that they could see the full figure. She saw his black furred tail.

The werewolf charged forth and struck the vampire across the chest with two claw swipes forming a blood red X on his chest. He then lunged forward and bit down on the vampire's jugular. Jerking his head to the side, he ripped the vampire's throat out. Blood spilled all over the ground. The male vampire tried to keep it in by placing his hands over his throat, but that was futile. Lance grabbed the knife that lay sheathed on his right thigh. As he quickly drew it out and plunged into the vampire's heart. The vampire slowly turned to dust.

Lance looked back Seras, his gaze lightened a bit. He had gore and blood all over his hands and blood all over his face. He breathed heavily. "So numb." He said slowly as he reverted back to his human form.
