Chapter 5
Hellsing
Outside Detroit, Michigan
Seras reached Integra's private jet and got on. "I need to speak to Sir Integra now," she told the pilot. The pilot handed her the private jet's onboard phone and Seras typed in Integra's number. Integra answered at the first beep. "What happened?" Sir Integra asked. "Sir, I confronted Plasmius but I was unable to destroy him. His healing powers were greater than we thought, any ordinary vampire would have died ten times over in our fight, but he didn't. All I managed to do was slow him down," Seras reported. "How did you escape?" Sir Integra asked, only Seras could detect the slight worry in her voice. "I was saved by Danny's opposite sex clone, Danielle. She hit Plasmius with some kind of ghost fire and he fled, after sending the rest of his ghouls after Danny to distract us," Seras told her.
"And what of Daniel and Danielle?" Sir Integra asked. "I don't know sir, Danny was grievously wounded and he lost a lot of blood. I told Danielle to take him to a Hospital while I covered their escape, I must have killed thousands of ghouls. But that's not all; I absorbed their blood and saw their memories. Plasmius planned this slaughter, he gathered many of his ghouls and then must have transported them into the city somehow," Seras told her. "I will tell President McCallum this as soon as I can. Seras, she had to order Detroit to be firebombed," Sir Integra told her. "SHE WHAT!?" Seras screamed; she couldn't believe that the President of the United States of America could ever authorize such a drastic measure. "There were too many ghouls; the Army had to pull out. In order to stop them from reaching anymore cities President McCallum had to destroy Detroit entirely, it was the only way to be sure," Sir Integra told her.
"How can she explain this to the People?" Seras asked. "She came up with a cover story explaining that Vlad Plasmius had been mutated during his time in space, and that he could now turn people into zombies. These zombies could then spread their disease to others, that's what she told the Press, and they bought it hook, line, and sinker. There were simply too many videos of the ghouls to suppress, so the American Government had to make something up. It's working so far, no mention of vampire involvement on any websites so far," Sir Integra told her. Seras sighed, would it really matter if they knew the truth anymore? She wondered. "Seras, you need to find Daniel and protect him now. We don't know what Plasmius will do next; he may try to finish off Daniel. You can't face Plasmius by yourself, we need to make sure that Daniel survives and gets back into action ASAP. Together the two of you may be able to stop Plasmius," Sir Integra told her. "Understood," Seras said. "Be careful," Sir Integra told her and hung up.
Seras grabbed her prosthetic sleeve and put it on, making sure it fit just right and put on her blue contacts as well, and grabbed her cell phone and charger so Sir Integra could call her. Her disguise completed Seras closed her eyes and opened up her Third Eye and looked for Danny's life force. It was faint, but it was no longer fading. Seras jumped out of the jet and ran straight for where she sensed him. The buildings and streets, cars and people were all a blur as Seras ran until she reached the Hospital. Seras went in and headed for the Admissions Desk. "I am Lieutenant Seras Victoria of the Hellsing Organization. I've been assigned to protect Daniel Fenton, aka Danny Phantom," Seras said, thankful that Hellsing had gone public years ago, albeit as ghost fighters rather than vampire hunters. "I need to see some ID before I believe that," the admissions clerk said, eying Seras's chest and skirt questionably. Should have made my clothes look more professional, Seras thought as she dug her 'official' ID out of her right breast pocket and showed it to the clerk.
The clerk looked at her ID then gave it back to her, "Floor 4, Room 14," the clerk told her. Seras nodded and took the stairs; no one was on them so she jumped up to the Fourth Floor. She went in and headed straight for Room 14. All the while Seras could sense the thousands of life forces inside as some slipped away and many more were born throughout the Hospital. To her surprise she sensed Danny and Sam's children were also in the Hospital. She finally reached Danny's room and went in. Sam saw her and stood up from where she had been kneeling. "Seras, where were you?" Sam asked her, the slight accusation in her tone sticking out. "I came as soon as Sir Integra heard about Plasmius, but I wasn't fast enough. I just barely managed to get Danny out of there," Seras told her, "Plasmius was too strong for me; if Danielle hadn't shown up I would have been done for."
Sam sighed and sat in a chair by Danny. "What are we going to do?" Sam asked. "We need to figure out how to heal Danny faster, we need him to defeat Plasmius. I was able to weaken him, but his healing powers are nothing less than incredible, I must have blasted a dozen holes into him, but he survived all of it," Seras told her. She still felt weak; she felt like she could drain a whole human being…I can smell that the blood isn't too far away…NO! I can't! Seras pulled a seat next to Sam and held her hand. "We'll think of something, Sam. But right now you need to go get some rest, and take care of your kids. I'll protect Danny, I promise," Seras told her. Sam nodded and gave the unconscious Danny one last kiss on his lips and left the room. Seras looked at her comrade in arms; she couldn't believe that he was really alive after everything that happened to him. "I'm sorry Danny, I won't fail you again," she said and took her post outside the room, her eyes and Third Eye wide open and ready for anything.

Dearborn, Michigan
Cameron watched as her Mom silently came up to them and told them they were going to a Hotel. Her Mom never looked so…tired so…old before. Cameron, Willie, and Morgan didn't argue with her at all and followed her, right into the millions of snapping cameras outside the Hotel. "Mrs. Phantom, is it true that your husband is in here?! How bad were his injuries!? Did Vlad Plasmius really send him into a coma!? Where are you going!? Shouldn't you be staying by his side?!" This and thousands of other questions were yelled at Cameron's Mom as Sam ignored them and held her head high as she pushed her way through the 'reporters'.
Sam and her children only marched through the streets resolutely. "Mom, let me go Ghost and get us there faster," Cameron finally said. "Don't give these vultures a show," Sam told her. Sam at last hailed a taxi and they all got in, leaving the reporters behind. "To the Hilton," she told the driver and said nothing more the whole drive, Cameron and her siblings were quiet too, though she could see that Willie and Morgan were on the verge of crying. At last they reached the Hilton Hotel in the city and went in, signed in, and went straight to their rooms. Luckily Cameron and her family had brought along their suitcases with all their necessities.
They went into their room and her Mom collapsed on the couch. She then sat up and looked at all three of her kids. "Cameron, William, Morgan, I need to tell you all something," she said, they all sat down on the floor in front of her. "You all know that your Dad fights ghosts. But that's only half the truth. He also fights…vampires. He is what is called a 'Trump Card', the most powerful being for his organization, The Guys In White. He isn't the only Trump Card in the world either. Ms. Seras from the Hellsing Organization is their Trump Card. She is also a vampire, she is the only good vampire we know about, she protects people from the evil vampires out there," Sam said.
Cameron already knew all of this, ever since she was almost kidnapped by a vampire nine years ago. Her Dad had told her everything, and for every summer afterwards she'd spend time at the Hellsing Organization Headquarters, Seras and Sir Integra Hellsing had helped train her in case she ever fought vampires again. Everything Sam was saying was for Willie and Morgan's benefit. "Did a vampire hurt Daddy?" Morgan asked. Sam sighed and said, "In a way. You remember the evil Halfa your Dad and I used to fight, Vlad Plasmius? He found a way to turn himself into a vampire and killed a lot of people in Detroit. Your Dad fought him as hard as he could, but Vlad was too strong for him. He put him in the Hospital."
Cameron gulped at the thought; she remembered her Dad's stories about Vlad Plasmius. He was the only one that her Dad had never actually beaten of all his old enemies. Danny and him had fought numerous times, and he only barely with a combination of luck and the right gear managed to win. But Danny never really beat him when they fought toe-to-toe, the best they ever had was a stalemate. And now he was back, and more powerful than ever before.
The four of them stayed in the Hotel for the rest of the day. They never ventured out, and when they got hungry they ordered room service. Eventually bed time came, and Sam put Willie and Morgan to sleep. "Is Daddy going to be alright?" Willie asked. Sam looked down at him and gave him a small smile, "Your Dad will be alright, the Doctors at the Hospital will heal him up. We'll see him tomorrow," she told him and gave him a small kiss on his forehead along with Morgan. Sam went to sleep herself and fainted away. As soon as Cameron knew she was out, she went Ghost, white rings flew up and down her body, turning her clothes into a white jumpsuit with black belt, boots, and gloves and turned her hair black and her eyes glowing green. She phased out of the room and saw the city around her.
She saw all the paparazzi outside the Hotel; luckily the Hotel Security was keeping the vultures all out of the Hotel. Cameron decided to mess with them all and clapped her hands. She then converted the sound waves from her clap into a high pitched frequency that annoyed the Hell out of human eardrums. The paparazzi and the Hotel Security all held their ears until finally the paparazzi all fled and Cameron allowed the noise to dissipate. Cameron then headed for the Hotel. Dad's in the Hospital. Vlad Plasmius sent him there. Mom only told Willie and Morgan everything for one reason…we're going to have to fight him. Cameron's stomach twisted in knots at the idea. She had only fought one ghost so far in her life for real; and now she would have to face a vamped up Vlad Plasmius!? Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Cameron at last reached the Hospital and flew through it, looking for her Dad's room. She passed through many rooms of people recovering from numerous injuries and diseases, but finally she reached his room, it was hard to miss Seras Victoria, that woman stuck out anywhere, in so many ways. Cameron was about to float past her but then Seras whispered, "Don't go in there Cammie." No human could hear that, only a vampire or someone with the sound sensitivity that came with audiokinesis could have heard her. "Seras, he's my Dad, I need to see him. I need to know what I'm in for," she told Seras, just as quietly. "Cammie, I won't force you to leave, but I'm begging you, don't look. I know what it's like to lose your parents; you don't need to go through it as well," Seras told her. Seras's words had the opposite effect that she wanted; Cameron flew in and phased through the curtain, and saw what was left of her Father.
"Oh God," Cameron whispered as she saw Danny. He was wrapped up in countless bandages all over his body, with tubes sticking out of him. Her sensitive ears could also hear the mechanical hum of the artificial organs that were now inside him. Cameron felt sadness and fear engulf her heart as she saw her Dad, Earth's Greatest Hero, the Savior of Earth, Amity Park's Favorite Son, a man she had seen battle hundreds of ghosts at once and come out with barely a scratch on him, lying on the Hospital bed, barely clinging to life. She flew out of the Hospital, and she kept on flying until she got back to the Hotel. Cameron turned Human and ran into the bathroom and puked into the toilet. Her heaves eventually faded into sobs of fear, despair, and desperation.
