It was a quiet night again, with nobody on the streets. The tank rolled silently through the streets carrying soldiers in it's stomach. It was full moon, so the city was more brighter than usual. They were sent out to a ghoul haven, with probably a vampire still nearby.
The soldiers sat in silence, since they know that the have to focus. Their lives depended on it. Some of them checked their weapons over and over again just to make sure. The small place inside the tank was illuminated with red lamps. They had their usual army outfit on them except the label on their shoulders which was a shield with black and red pattern. It read Hellsing.
Felix sat in there too. He still stared at his feet, remembering everything from his training, he didn't want to make any mistakes. This was his first mission after all. His medal slipped out from under his jacket and hanged just below his chin. He let it be like that for a few minutes, then grabbed it. It was still cold.
It has been 10 years since the incident in London. After their little trip in the crypt, Barnabas and him were parted the next day. The next morning he was called to Integra. He knew that this could mean only one thing. Okay, maybe two. One, they found out about their act and were going to punish him, or two, he is being sent away like all the kids before him.
The big wooden doors opened before Felix, and he was goaded inside the room. It was the old library that Integra took as her office when she took over the mansion. She was working here all day and night long. The room looked gigantic, especially now, that his fate were going to be decided. Integra sat behind her big wooden desk like always. Behind her was a big window looking down on the garden and the street after that.
Felix moved slowly closer to her. He discovered one more man in the room, who was almost invisible behind his desk, which was in one of the darker areas of the room just next to a bookshelf. He didn't even look up. Probably this man was Integra's new assistant.
Felix stood in front of her desk and waited patiently. When Integra finished with her current paper, finally looked up and put the pen aside. She pushed her glasses up her nose again, and looked at Felix with her crystal clear blue eyes. They were colder than ice itself.
"Your name is Felix right?"
"Yes miss Integra."
"Do you know why I wanted you to come to me?"
He hesitated for a few seconds, since he didn't want to say anything suspicious. Then answered with a 'no'.
"I see...Well as you know we are trying to give the kids back to their families. When we succeed that's great, however there are falls when this isn't possible." She paused a bit just to make sure that Felix understood everything. "In this case we mostly give these children to such organizations that can take care of the children."
"And that's going to happen to me Sir Hellsing?"
"Yes Felix...Now see. I'm not the one who decides about the fates of others, especially when it comes down to kids. So I can offer you two options, and you have to choose one of those. Understood?"
"Yes."
"Good. The first option is an orphanage. You are going to be raised up here like any other kid, but you have to stand on your feet when you become 18..."
"Whats the other option?"
"Don't interrupt me kid!"
"I'm sorry."
"The other option is the army."
"I choose the second option Sir Hellsing."
This surprised Integra. The kids rarely chose the army. -"Why if I may ask?"
"Because I want to revenge my parents."
"But aren't you afraid that you are going to be killed?"
"No. This is the only thing left for me. I lost everything. I want them to suffer like me:"
"Who?"
"The monsters!"
"I see. Very well then Felix. You are leaving now."
"May I see goodbye to my friend?"
"Yes of course."
After that little talk, he didn't see Integra for the next ten years. He had been picked up by a bold man with army outfit when he said goodbye to Barnabas. He didn't really have any personal stuff, only his necklace. He was been transported into an army base and stuffed in a barrack.
There was quite a lot of kids around his age. He took one of the beds next to a boy named Harry and below a girl named Roberta. The next years were hard, much harder than he thought. He became stronger, didn't only train their bodies but their minds too. These three became really good friends, they helped each other. If there was a douchebag who took one of their lunch, they made sure about that that asshole never even thought about doing that again. If one of them got too tired to run miles after miles with the heavy rucksack, then they helped that one, even if they risked themselves with this action.
When the ten years ended, they were ready to face anything. Since they had great results, they all got mails that invited them to Hellsing.
"You got one too?" - hopped down next to Felix Roberta holding another mail in her hand.
"Yeah, but I didn't open it yet. Did you?"
"Yep." answered cheerfully Roberta.
"So you know what's inside?"
"Yep. But I'm not going to tell you."
"...Great."
"Just open it already!" with that he ripped the envelope open and read the mail inside it. It had the big shield marking on the right upper corner of the paper. There wasn't too much text written, just enough to make it clear what is it going about.
"So are you going to accept it?" asked Roberta
"I don't know."
"Oh come on. You wanted to take revenge on the monsters didn't you?"
"Yeah...I guess. But I can't do it alone."
"What can't you do alone?" asked this time Harry who just sat on the other side of Felix. He was holding the same letter in his hands too. His was closed too.
"Just open your letter!" said the other two in union.
"Okay, okay...geez. No need to be so harsh." said Harry while his hands were already working on his letter. "Oh..:"
"Yeah...so as I was saying, I can't do it alone. Are you coming with me?"
"Sure!" answered Roberta happily. Since Harry didn't answer, she hit him on his shoulder.
"Y..Yeah of course!"
"Thanks guys!"
And so ended all three of them in this tank which was moving to their possible end. Felix looked up into the eyes of Roberta who sat right in front of him. Their eyes met and she smiled. It was not the happy like smile but more like a "Oh my god this will suck!" or "What did we get us into?".
He smiled back. Next to him sat Harry, who was checking his weapon and loadout.
The tank came to a stop. Nobody moved until the doors swung open and their captains harsh voice yelled into the silence.
"Move, move, move!"
AN: Finally here is the next chapter! And it's a long one again, I'm getting the hang of it now :)
I would like to say thank to all the people who take the energy to write a feedback, you guys have no idea how happy it makes me :)
Also I think there is going to be only one more or maximum two chapters, then we say goodbye to Felix. I have an idea this time with Seras as the main character and can't wait to begin writing it! But I want to give this story a proper ending and not just let it fall into nothingness.
So I hope you liked the chapter, thanks for reading. As always, any reviews are welcome!
