Heck Hath no fury (like Vampires)

Chapter 3: Getting to know the monster

Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing or anything I might infringe upon on accident. If I plagiarize anyone, it is a complete accident and a coincidence.

Hellsing H.Q., 2:50 AM: After much struggle, and a few shouting matches, Alucard Finally got Desmodeus to cover himself, and Integra and Seras Victoria eventually taught him to stand up and walk around in his new human form. Finally, once the demon looked somewhat civilized, they were able to force him to reveal exactly who and what he was. "So, who were you...in hell?" "Why should I tell you, human?" "Because I asked. And because you work for me now." "hmm...fine. My name is Desmodeus. I am the second general of the Seventh Circle of hell. I'm sure you've read Dante's Inferno. It is actually quite accurate. Before you so rudely ripped me out of my world, I was a powerful Hellfire Wyrm...a dragon born from the lust of a particularly evil red dragon father and a demon mother. I was born in hell, and I have lived there for 1,300 years. I rose, or "fell" if you will, in the ranks, down to the second in command of hell's seventh circle. I held that position for 250 years until just recently. As far as my human form, I probably acquired it when you and your bumbling vampires brought me to this wretched planet!" "fair enough. Now, what can you do?" "I have no damn idea! If I were still a dragon, I might be able to show you, but in my present state, I really can't tell!" "Fine, we'll have to test that out right now. Alucard!" "Yes, lady Integra?" "Take Desmodeus to the training ground. Let's find out just what he's capable of." "Yes, Lady Integra." Come along Desmodeus."

Alucard led Desmodeus to the training area, occasionally stopping to get him to start walking, and not crawl. There, Seras Victoria was doing target practice with her sniper rifle. "Police Girl!" "Yes, master?" "The demon here doesn't know what he's capable of in this human form he has been given, help me find out." After saying this, Alucard drew his handgun and shot Desmodeus in the shoulder. Expecting a scream of pain followed by a slump with a pool of blood spewing onto the floor, Alucard was surprised to find nothing more than a hole in Desmodeus's shirt. "What was that supposed to be? You think a mere bullet can have ANY effect on a dragon's hide?!" "I see. You seem to remain with your former might, however it has been packed into this human form." "If that's the case, then I should be able to do this!" and without missing a beat, Desmodeus drove his foot into the floor, and reduced the cement making up the floor around him for 10 feet to rubble. "Amazing!" gasped Seras Victoria. With incredible speed, Desmodeus ran to the wall at the other end of the range and blew it away with his fist. "Excellent...with this power, I can at least wreak some havoc." "Now, Mr. Desmodeus, tell me, do you think you still retain that cliché dragon capability?" Without even answering, Desmodeus attempted to blow a huge blast of hellfire. In his first attempt, all he blew was a few candle flames and a lot of smoke. After another 2 tries, with slightly more success each time, he was finally able to blow a huge line of flames down the range...effectively setting the building on fire and setting off the fire sprinklers.

Unfortunately, the flames that Desmodeus blows are unholy and cannot be put out by mere water. The building burned for several moments before Desmodeus was able to just manage to cast a spell with his innate draconic sorcerer abilities to quell the flames. "Perhaps this demon we summoned is...too strong. He possesses unbelievable speed and strength...he can breath fire, and he's a sorcerer." Alucard thought to himself. It was then that this "unbelievably powerful" demon in human skin collapsed.
