Chapter 12 : Old Sins Cast Long Shadows

I know that this has taken forever, but I have had a lot of problems. I hope you all understand. This chapter is mainly just a glimpse of things to come.

Walter went to the one place he knew he would be away from any unwanted eyes or ears. He knew that Millenium's entire operation would be screwed if he was discovered. He then pulled out the cell phone that the Doc had given him. He still hated these little things. What the hell is so hard and difficult about an old-fashioned telephone?!

Somewhere in the middle of Germany...

The Major was humming some old war tunes as he continued to watch the preparations on his zeppelin proceed.

"Major, phone call for you. Iz Walter," Doc said in the usual German tone. The Major's smile disappeared. He knew he had to tell him after the Major got his report. Tell him about the new recruit in their arsenal and that because of this new face, Walter was no longer needed. Xehanort has ordered his pupil Vanitas to use the darkness of this world to spy on the dealings and happenings throughout all of London. Then, the Major's smile reappeared. At least ve zhall meet on ze battlefield, my friend. It's sad, cauze I did like you; even though you always interrupted my supper. Major grabbed the phone.

"Ah, Walter. So good to hear from you! How is our little frauleins doing? Tell me, has Seras started showing restraint again," the Major asked giddily.

"Yes. The Key girl is also showing signs of dark powers now. Won't be long before either Seras or Alucard turns her," Walter said flatly.

"Good, good. Unfortunately, my friend I don't have good news to report," the Major had said; the happy tone not leaving his voice. Walter froze. Please tell me he isn't reneging on the deal! I'll kill him if he is.

"Walter, I really do like you, but we have a new weapon in our arsenal who is able to spy on any and all using the shadows of this world. I hate to say it, but when we meet on ze battlefield; you best fight for your life. However, since you were of such use to us; I will make sure that your final moments are honorable," the Major stated. Walter was ready to crush the phone. He was downright pissed.

"Major, how do you know I won't go and tell Integra all of your plans right now," Walter said with almost pure hatred in his voice.

"Walter, do you take me for a fool? You know better than that, and you know that I know that as well. If you were to tell them, you would be branded a traitor and executed. If I were you, I would not tell them anything. Don't worry; in the upcoming battle, I will not whisper a word of any of this," the Major said giddily. He had an idea of Walter's response.

Walter didn't want to carry a weight on his shoulders like that for the rest of his life, even if it was just a short while. He was going to tell them, and will take full responsibility for his actions. He should have known better anyway. He can't believe that the only reason he would betray everything he has ever cared about is just so as to end a rivalry between him and Alucard. Walter then said his last friendly words to the Major, for if Walter did see him again; it would be as sheer adversaries. "Goodbye, Major. See you in Hell, one way or another." With that Walter hung up. He now had a lot to think about, and a lot of actions he knew he had to take. He knew that he straight up failed in many ways, but this has pushed him farther than he thought possible, and now it's time for him to start making new choices.

The Major knew this would happen. Oh well. Vanitas whom Xehanort had said he disposed of had came out of one of those portals of darkness and approached the Major. The Major was actually glad that Xehanort brought him back. Vanitas then gave his report.

"Looks like Seras and Aqua are preparing to go on their little walk, Major," Vanitas spoke condescendingly. This was going exactly as planned. He has arranged for a little 'accident' for the Key-Girl. She needs to be turned into a vampire as soon as possible. According to the 'Rules Of The Worlds', if Aqua were to become a vampire; she would then be able to traverse the Realm of Darkness with ease; allowing her to travel to other worlds through portals of darkness and keep her heart intact. Xehanort plans to use her caring heart against her. When she goes to help those with bright hearts in other worlds, she will leave a trace of her darkness there; therefore tainting it enough for the final phase of bringing about the ultimate war. The Keyblade War.

"Good. Then it is time for you to have some fun. You shall interrupt their little walk after 20 minutes. The Key-Girl will have decided for Seras to inherit the power of the Keyblade. This is one of the objectives. The other is to then fight with Aqua mainly. Critically wound her enough to where no amount of medical attention will save her. Use any means at your disposal. Warrant Officer Schroedinger will keep an eye on the situation. Once Aqua is fatally wounded, then report back to your Master. Seras will not try to follow you. She will then have no choice but to either let Aqua die or turn her. The plan is to have her turned," the Major explained.

"How are you sure that Seras won't leave her there and come after me for revenge," Vanitas questioned. He continued to lean against the wall with his arms crossed. The Major only smiled. Vanitas decided that it was best not to push it; otherwise he would be dealing with the Master, and that is something he really don't want right now. He was lucky that Xehanort found his heart lingering in the darkness and, by means he has so far yet to incline with him, brought him back to this realm. He then vanished into the darkness and made for his destination.

The Major smiled. It was now going to be time for the next stage of his plans. Since Aqua was going to need to learn to control her thirst and temper; he will make Hellsing's 'investigation' in South America last. The Major knew that Integra would send Aqua, Seras, Pip Bernadotte, and Alucard to investigate the reports that Maxwell had given , he wants to see just how good a detective Seras Victoria will have made. Then it will be the United States, then they will be back in London within 2 weeks. Then, the bonfire will begin. The dead will dance, and Hell will sing!
