Order 13: Midnight assassin

"Walter.. Are you alright?"I asked the elderly retainer as I put my hand on his shoulder "Don't worry, miss Seras, I'm just not as sharp as I used to be.. How about you?" I looked back at the temporary aegis barrier I put up at the entrance to the warehouse we used for shelter. "Don't worry, it will hold.. It has to!" Walter smiled wryly at me as I said that "I meant your arm." He told me while pointing to my bloody limb. "It's fine." I lied while covering up the long gash. "We should worry about the barrier." This "Zooling" person proved to me they were no match for my divine energy, but while I was fighting her they managed to badly injure Walter, incapacitate ten soldiers, and knock the captain unconscious. Worst part.. I had allowed that to happen. "I must be a terrible guardian angel letting you all get hurt like.. OUCH!"

The 'ouch' was not part of my speech, it was thanks to sir Integra hitting me on the back of my head to end my musings "No time for self-pity now Seras, Tell me the truth, is this the end for us?" I sighed looking at the barrier that I could feel was losing power with the minute. "I'll be honest. Had I been alone they would have been dead by now. But I can't protect you and fight them at the same time." I sighed and Integra frowned at my remark "then drop the barrier, we will fight, I refuse to be a burden." Part of me smiled, she was a lady of steel indeed and she had a point, her honor would not allow her to sit back and watch, she was a knight after all.

Eventually I decided to trust her, the barrier was not going to hold for long anyway. After I made sure Walter was ready for the next wave I let it down. Immediately the enemy troops busted through the door and the next moment we were in the middle of the battle of our life. Thanks to Zooling I now owned two scythes instead of one but I still found it hard to beat off every single Nazi that approached us. A volley of silver bullets took down a group of enemies that attempted to attack from our flank, thus proving the human soldiers were reliable enough, even against these monsters. The enemies lines were soon decimated and I was happy to see that our casualties had remained to the minimum. No one expected what happened then. And no human could have handled this situation, I am glad that some soldiers decided to fall back rather than being wiped out defending a lost cause. A gigantic wolf-like creature attacked from the back tearing apart many of our skilled gunners and before I had the chance to react it managed to throw Integra onto her back and sink his fangs into her neck, completely ignoring the silver bullet she shot with deadly precision into his skull.

"Sir Integra!" I all but yelled as I abandoned my post and ran at the injured lady, grabbing the wolf by his neck and throwing him off her into the wall as soon as I reached them, had Integra not been hurt I would have loved the crunching sound the large dog's bones gave as flesh met stone, but my only concern had been the ugly wound on the Hellsing heir's neck. I knew what I had to do, Orders or not, if I did not use my empath powers she would die. I took a deep breath and concentrated as I put my hands on the bloody skin of her neck. Upon seeing my hands starting to glow Integra was fast to respond. "Remember your orders Angel girl! I told you to refrain from using your healing powers!" I growled and focused more power into the wound "And let you die? I would not think of it.. Sir" Bright blue light met crimson red blood as I infused my own life force into the woman that even while she was dying tried to lecture me about what I could and could not do. I slowly felt my energy fading until the last of it flowed from my quickly paling hands into her rapidly closing wound.

Sir Integra glared at me, not at all grateful for me disobeying her orders to save her, I smiled at her. Integra knew what would happen now I spent the last ounce of my life force to keep her alive, I could feel my heartbeat slow down and my blood cool. Though it may not kill me as I am already dead, my body would soon shut down to regenerate. With her still incapacitated and me in a coma-like state that would make Walter our only defense.
"That was very selfish of you Seras. You better survive, for you have to be punished for ignoring direct orders and endangering us all." I allowed a smirk to form on my face as I was once again reminded to the fact that in Integra's eyes I was only a weapon. "A toy to the man I love, and a weapon to the woman I look up to as I would to my mother.. Maybe dying doesn't sound so bad." I half-joked. I saw Integra open her mouth before my vision blurred. The last things I was aware of was a loud growl, the sharp pain of canines ripping into my arm dragging me along. And the sound of a my name being shouted by multiple people. 'Master... Help'

Alucard makes haste to the last spot from which he picked up Seras' signal

When I arrive at the rundown warehouse I smirk at the number of corpses littering the floor, angel girl must have been amusing herself greatly. Maybe she is just resting.. Yes that has to be it, No chance in the world these maggots were any challenge to her. It was foolish of me to believe the woman could be right for even a second.
"Lord Alucard, is that you?" Comes the voice of Walter and I catch myself letting out a breath. Such a human action, how absurd. I enter the building admiring Seras' handiwork and smirk as I enter the main storage and see Walter sitting next to my master, Hellsing soldiers looking around searchingly and paramedics checking on the wounded. But I miss one person.

"Where's the angel girl?" I demand in a near growl. When Walter looks down with a sad face I feel another clench in my chest... She can't be.. "She was taken away." I growl threateningly and glare at Walter as if it was his fault. "You remember the werewolf from 50 years ago?" How could I forget the captain.. He was a good opponent.. But. "The angel girl would decimate him to dust, there has to be something else Walter" A one on one the battle between them would be over before it had begun. "I won't ask for forgiveness." Master? "It was all my fault." She gets up and walks up to the window "If she had not needed to protect me this war would have been won by now." So that's what happened. I think as I turn around to walk out. "You're going to look for her? Alucard." I nod without turning around or stopping. "Please master, give me the order." I ask of her knowing that doing this without her order would put heavy strain on my seals. She shakes her head, I can't see her, but I can feel it. "I don't need to, the order is still in effect." I chuckle at the thought "I know 'Search and destroy'. Thank you, my master."


Alucard's search has begun and the clock is ticking. Weakened as Seras is, it's only a matter of time before Seras' body gives out under Millennium's torture

A beautiful specimen indeed, I think as my knife slowly cuts through the delicate flesh of the female figure on the operating table, I could only dream of examining this girl, Her muscles are like solid steel and any chip I tried to implant thus far disintegrated as soon as it tried to link with her nerves. She is absolutely wonderful and being able to experiment on her excites me to no end. Taking a vial of "her" blood in my hand I slowly pour it over the cut seeing it sizzle when it comes in contact with the angel's. A second vial gives the same effect.
"Damn it." I say out loud as I put the new experimental chip into the wound and it still won't link with her nerves "If this does not work soon my fuhrer will haf my head. Stop resisting girl!" I sigh as I sit down looking at the blood covering the bed, if this goes on I'll end up destroying her.. That would be such a shame. If I'd manage to brainwash her she would make the perfect Nazi soldier. A match for even the no life king himself.

"Get away from her, dog!" A loud booming voice comes from the doorway followed by the gurgling sound that upon looking appears was made by one of our soldiers as Alucard crushed his throat. I slowly back off but am soon caught as he dashes at me and pushes me against the wall by my neck. "What were you doing to her? You pathetic piece of shit!" I whine at the painful pressure of his hands "N..Nothing!" A loud metallic creak behind him makes us turn both our faces to the bed, and I whine again as I see the angel easily break through the titanium cuffs of the table before smacking the table in it's entirety against the wall, obliterating it. Once Alucard drops me to turn to her I manage to take a deep breath. "Angel girl, I'll leave this one to you." Alucard tells her. and I suppress the girly scream that tries to escape.. I'm going to die! "I'll do no such thing." I gasp as I hear a voice so much more mature than before come from her mouth. The girl before me stretches and yawns loudly before looking at the master vampire Alucard and finally opening her eyes. "You are the one who will be destroyed for attacking our headquarters." With shock I realize her eyes are a pure abysmal black.

Alucard just stand unmoving as the girl launches herself at him. The outcome of this battle has been decided.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you who the "Unknown" point of view characters in this and the last chapter were, but for those that need it anyway, Last chapter was partially from Captain Hans Gunche's point of view and the last bit of this one from the doc's... Been a while since I updated but that's because I had the feeling no one was really reading the story anymore. I'll still update but the priority is low on my list.

Please read and review, but most of all, have a good day!
