Chapter 15: Memories and Angels

Anderson POV

The fury was right, there had been too many good souls lost in this war. I was not prepared to allow any more to perish because of their blind faith. They needed to be logical; the church would not be able to continue if there were no papists to spread the word. Some needed to return.

As I made my way down the empty street the smell of burning flesh and rotting corpses filled my nose, this was as close to hell as I would like to get. I turned my radio on and addressed my unit of soldiers.

"This is Father Anderson, calling all paladins. We are returning to the Vatican, the others have been completely destroyed. Dawns approaching, our dreams are dashed. It's not your place to die here. Retreat! Protect the Pope and protect the church. I will find Alucard and defeat him. Finally he is in a form I can do damage to, he has dispatched his warriors and he stands alone. I can face a single vampire in combat the legendary Dracula."

3POV

Alexander Anderson and Alucard had been fighting toe to toe for a good while, the two were both bloodied and bleeding; Alucard had managed to get multiple shots at the Judas Priest which had left his left arm hanging on by a few strands of flesh. Alucard has taken a few blows from the priests blessed blades but nothing too considerable.

As the two men stood off against one another the Fury had transported herself to the top of a nearby building and watched from the shadows. She was angry that the priest from before had no heeded her advice, she was also drawn to the black soul of the vampire Alucard. She knew that he was the cause of most of the pain and suffering in this war and she would take pleasure in making the vampire pay for each and every damned soul he had kept locked inside him.

As the vampire stood against the priest, the priest began to feel the strain and he clutched his arm in his teeth as he ran towards the vampire.

"What's the matter priest your dragon is waiting? Come to me Alexander Anderson, come and stand before my gaze! Try and run me through!" Alucard mocked Anderson as he ran towards him into a large pool of undead souls, using all the strength that he could muster was being used to fight him off.

As the two men faced off in battle the remaining members of Iscariot had ignored their orders to flee back to the Vatican. They would stay and fight with their leader as a team; that is what they were taught to do. They would stand a fight as weapons of God not run like mere mortals. They had a higher calling than that. If they were to become martyrs then they would accept that fate with a smile.

As the Judas Priest fought his way through the undead he was shocked by a number of bullets that ripped apart his undead opponents. Turning around to see a small group of his Iscariot soldiers fighting off the remaining monsters caused him to yell out in anger.

"Damn it! I said leave you stupid meddling idiots?" Anderson bellowed back at his comrades as he pressed forward towards the vampire.

"What did you expect? What sad excuse for a solider would we be if we ran back to the Vatican? Did you think we would abandon our righteousness?" Heinkel responded as she shot down a number of ghouls.

"Too many have gone to limbo today" Anderson shouted back with sadness in his voice as he thought on his fallen friends. "However, since I am charging full into hell I might as well have some company" He composed himself and jumped back to stand with his warriors.

"So we are going to do this together then. Let's tell them who we are!" Anderson shouted as they prepared to fight the last few ghouls.

"We are the soldiers of Iscariot. We are Judas Iscariot!"

As the battle pressed on the vampire Alucard stood watching the events unfold, he had noticed the Fury who sat watching the events unfold from the rooftop. He already knew about her kidnap and her obvious brainwashing, if she was anything like she was before she would have come to the aid of the vampire not just stood and watched the events unfold. Something was different with her, there was a aura around her that he could not put his finger on; he could sense the power she had gained. Once he had finished with Anderson she would be his next opponent.

As he looked back at the battle in front of him he was slightly taken back to see that Anderson had in fact made it to him. He was standing in front of him, battered and bruised but none the less determined to fight him. Humans and their infallible wills had always been something Alucard admired. Humans were fuelled by their love and passion for causes and people. Demons like himself, they were fuelled by their pain and their hate. It had been centuries since he as fuelled by his love for anything.

"You stand before me. I am impressed. I am impressed Iscariot. Show me more!" Alucard shouted to the priest who pulled a long brown box from his pocket. A strange smell filled the air causing all demons in the area to gasp a little and cover their mouths.

"You are not the only one who carries a mighty weapon vampire." The priest hissed as he broke open the box to reveal a long large needle. It still smelled of blood and miracle, causing all demonic forces to step back.

"You are threatening me with the last of the holy artefacts of Rome?" Alucard spat through gritted teeth as he tried to block out the smell of the nail. Avery had stood up from her position and was now watching intently to see the movements of these two warriors.

Anderson lifted his arms up and went to stab himself in the chest with the Nail of Helena; one of the holy nails that were used to crucify the messiah all those centuries ago. It let off an unimaginable power which could be felt from all corners of the city.

The nail of Helena had terrible power, whomsoever it cuts or marks will experience a miracle from God. Transforming humans into monsters of God or killing high powered demons. No one really knew the full extent of its power. As the priest raised the nail threatening to stab himself with it Alucard let out a scream which caused him to stop in his tracks.

"Anderson stop! Do you intend to use that scrap of miracle...to become nothing but a scrap of miracle yourself?! This duel...between us...would you really push it this far - into the realms that lie beyond the realm of mortal life? Don't do it, human. Don't become a monster...a monster like me..." The vampire pleaded with the priest who shook his head and once more tried to pierce his skin but we caught off by the Fury who called out to him from the rooftop.

"Priest! Do you know what that thing will do to you?! You'll become one of God's monsters! Retain your humanity. Don't succumb to power! Either side, it amounts to the same deal: whether in the name of the divine or the demonic, you're still a monster in the end!" She exclaimed as she jumped down from the rooftop and confronted the two males.

Turning to the Hell's Angel he smiled slightly at the woman who seemed concerned for his soul, h turned to her and spoke gently.

"I want nothing more than to be a bayonet; a bayonet wielded by the hand of God. I would have been happy to have been born a storm, or a divine threat; a mighty explosion or even a terrible hurricane. A divine force of nature without a heart or pity. And if this relic can transform me into such a thing... then I am happy to abandon my humanity." As he spoke his final words he tried to plunge the needle into his chest but was sent flying back into a building by a gust of wind from Avery. "I can't allow that. I'm sorry..." She whispered as the needle flew across the skies and landed in the rubble of a wasted building.

"Well, well, well…it's the long lost Fury! Nice to see you Avery, it has been a while."

"I think it is time we made our entrance." The Major said gleefully as he sat down in his chair and faced the screens on the walls. They had video footage of each side of the war, they had just witnessed Avery and her encounter with the Judas Priest. She had gone above her orders, she was told to destroy what she wanted, she was not told to spare anyone. She needed to be put back in check before she messed up the plan.

"Yes Sir. Bring us into landing now!" One of the officers snapped at the crew.

"It is time to see the show from the front row." The Major mused out loud as he watched the screens.

"Sir, The weapon has confronted the Iscariot Priest. She has gone above orders Sir….I don't have control over her anymore…" The Doctor exclaimed as he ran over to the Major, clutching his remote in his hands. He shot the remote at the screen and tried to send shock waves into the Fury's head but there was no reaction from the demon as she continued her massacre.

"That was expected Doctor, that was expected. You can only keep a beast in a cage for so long before they turn on you." The Major chuckled as he continued to watch the screens. With a sigh he watched the demon rip the eyes out of one of the Nazi vampires and set him a light.

"Butler, Doctor. Go and see that the weapon is put back into use, we can't have her killing our men." He sighed as he waved them off.

"Yes, Sir" They both bowed in union as they turned and left the room. As the two walked side by side out of the aircraft the tensions began to build between them. The Doctor was concerned that his weapon had gone rogue and that would mean that he in turn would be destroyed by the Major.

Walter was scared that Avery was getting to the point of no return. He did not want to lose her and he was worried that Millennium had ripped everything he loved about her out of her. He knew where she would be, if she was drawn to the dark souls she would be making her way towards the vampire Alucard and that was one fight the world did not need to see. He had to get involved before the two of them clashed.

"Well butler. I wonder how you will be playing this one out. Betray your family or kill your lover. Such complex and profound decisions you will be making shortly. This is fantastic!" The Doctor laughed as they walked onto the stairway of the aircraft.

In one swift move, the Butler had the Doctor pinned to the wall, his new demonic strength had kicked in and he felt the emotions and the power run through his veins. Tightening his grip on the Doctors throat the Doctor began to choke out a little blood; as the Doctor spluttered blood over his white suit. The Doctor clawed at the arms of the newly transformed vampire, and he brought up his knee to land a blow into the butlers ribcage.

A loud crack filled the air as the two dropped to the floor and began coughing up blood.

"This is not the time, we will do this later!" The Doctor spat out as he stood from the floor and jumped down into the main event.

"You fucking bet we will." Walter growled as he felt his ribs realign and click back into place, brushing himself off he jumped down into the battle.

Back at the Millennium headquarters the two that remained were the Major and young Officer Schrodinger as they watched the screen the young boys face could no longer hold the smile he had plastered across his face for the last fifty years. He was too tired of it all, of the war and the pain. He didn't want to do it anymore.

"Sir, why has she gone against orders?" Schrodinger asked as he watched the monstrosities on the screen.

"Officer Schrödinger I often forget how much of a child you are. You have been with us for over fifty years child yet you still do not understand the complexities of war." The Major snapped as he took a sip of wine from his side table.

"Why is she killing some and sparing others? The demon, she does not know them…yet she spares a few and massacres others why?" The young boy asked as his ears twitched slightly.

"She is an angel of vengeance; the term demon should be used sparingly my boy for in her true form she is neither demon not angel. Furies they're the harbingers of vengeful wrath. Any injustice they will be compelled to destroy it in whichever way they deem fit. It doesn't matter what side she fights for anymore. Eventually the amount of chaos we have created will drive her mad, she will destroy everything." The Major laughed as he spun around in his chair gleefully.

"Even her own people? She would kill her own people?!" The young boy asked in shock. Had this been the Major's plan all along? Total destruction…

"Man fighting monster, monster killing monsters it is all the same…the fury does not discriminate." The Major explained with a giggle.

"So this was your plan all along? Utter destruction….everything and everyone destroyed? Even your own men?!" Schrodinger asked as he took a step back; he knew the Major had some plans but he did not know he was this insane, to have a war for the sake of having a war –for his men and friends to die for no reason but to amuse this man. It was not right, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes my boy. I will sit on my throne and watch this world burn to ashes. Then I will dance in the flames until I feel the embrace of death. Then, my boy and only then will I be happy." The Major explained as she took a long deep breath and smiled at the young boy who shook his head in shock.
"You are mad…." Schrodinger stuttered out. He had not agreed to die, he was told he would be there to see the new order come into play. He would never have agreed to go on a suicide mission.

"My boy, we are all mad."

3POV

As the two demon colleagues stood off against each other the tension in the air thickened. The two did not have a great relationship when they were on amicable terms. Now that Avery had no memory of the demon they were finally able to rip into each other demon to demon.

"They have given you a real good working haven't they? You have no idea who I am do you?. Tell me Fury how many metal rods did they stick in you this time?" Alucard cackled as he watched the demons face contort into a growl.

"Be silent demon!" Avery hissed back and she sent a fireball plummeting towards the vampire who dodged it with a laugh. Patting down his singed cloak he turned to his Mistress on the opposing side of the roads rooftops.

Seras Victoria POV

I couldn't believe it! It was Miss Avery, she was alive. She looked like her but she looked healthier, stronger….colder. It unnerved me, her glare was no longer warm her eyes had become cold and emotionless as she looked over to my Master and I. She looked like she as sleepwalking…

"Avery! Is that you?!" I cry out as the demon in front of me tilted her head to the side and glared into my mind. Blinking back I pushed her out as she had taught me to do weeks before in our training sessions. When she felt my pushing her out of my mind she let out a small smirk as she looked back to the vampire in front of her.

"Seras Victoria, there is no point. Can you not see she is a shell of the demon we all knew. She is not the same woman you came to know there is no talking to her." My master shouted back to me as he glared at my old mentor. I felt sick, my master and my mentor were toe to toe ready to rip each other's throats out in the blink of an eye. I was not able to stop them, I turned to my Mistress, Sir Integra was frozen on the spot she looked pale, like she had seen a ghost.

As I turned back to the pair below I watched as Avery ran at my master with her claws and began to cut into his arms as they both dodged attacks from each other. Alucard pulled out one of his handguns and aimed it at the Fury.

"Enough! Alucard stop!" A familiar voice echoed through the air causing all of us to turn and look at the culprit. On top of a pile of wasted rubble stood a young man, he was tall and lean; he had his dark hair in a ponytail wrapped with a dark red ribbon. He worse a three piece suit with no jacket…I could have sworn it was Walter….but that couldn't be Walter was an old man!

Walter POV

It seems as though we had arrived at just the right time. Avery and Alucard stood toe to toe ready to fight; they had already had a small go and one another for good measure. Looking around I could see Sir Integra and Seras stood on a rooftop watching the scene unfold. A panic filled me as I realized that now I would have to explain to them what had happened to me…what had happened to us.

"Walter is that you!?" My old Master called out from her place on the rooftop. I turned to her and nodded gently as I bowed.

"Walter Sir, what have they done to you?" Seras exclaimed as she covered her mouth in shock.

"What have they done to me? Well obviously I have been captured brainwashed and turned into a vampire. They have taken the woman I love and tormented her and moulded her into an unrecognizable creature, I am now forced to tear my friends and loved ones into bloody shreds." I replied coldly as I turned back to face the main event. Alucard had turned to look at me now, Avery would not meet my gaze her eyes remained fixed on the demon in front of her.

"Avery please it's us! You have to remember! Snap out of this madness!" Seras screamed as she ran down to her old mentor. Only to be sent flying back into a wall by a wall of air sent by Avery.

"She will not remember you, you can cry out all you like Seras Victoria. It is no good." I called out to the young vampire as she stood up from the rubble and dusted herself off.

"Butler, why are you getting yourself involved? Keep out of my way or I will destroy you!" Avery finally turned to look at me, her eyes were cold and full of hate they pierced into the back of my head. She was so cold now, there was no longer any warmth there….it killed me to look at her like this. This wasn't her….not my Odette…

"Odette please…" I pleaded as I jumped down and tried to move closer to the woman.

"Do NOT call me that!" She screeched as she sent me flying backwards with another gust of air, catching myself mid air I flipped myself and caught myself on my hands stopping myself from hitting the concrete behind me.

As I ran back over to the two demons who I come to call my friends I turned to see the Doctor standing on the pile of rubble. He was grinning as he watched the scene unfold.

"Very good Fury. Now, it is time to bring the wrongdoers their comeuppance!" He laughed as Avery jumped to his side. I would kill him before the night is out, she was not his! She was mine!

"Who are you?!" Integra barked from the rooftop. Seras had returned to her side and stood ready to protect her Mistress.

"I'm the Doctor; pleasure to meet you all; this gem of a creature is my creation. Quite something isn't she." He replied with a small chuckle, motioning to Avery who stood next to him.

"You bastard! This is all your doing!" Integra shouted as she dug her nails into her palms, I could smell the blood coming from her hands. I had not fed since my transformation – this was going to be a bit of a problem. I needed to find blood fast before this fight got out of hand.

"Butler, this is not surprise to me that you have returned to your family. So, you chose them over your lover. Interesting choice…I guess that means I can keep her" The Doctor mocked me from his position as he pulled Avery into him and left a long kiss on her lips, she began to kiss him back….that was too much for me I saw red causing me to go into a mad rage. "I will kill you, you son of a bitch!" I lost all control and lunged at the couple only to be held back by Alucard who had taken hold of my collar and pulled me back.

"What did you do to Avery!" Seras growled from her position.

"What did I do? Well, I unlocked those last few chains that were holding her true form back. Alucard, you have shown your true form this day, even you Seras Victoria have reached a higher form. The Fury is now the same; she is no longer just a demon. She is a goddess of vengeance, can you not see it!" He shouted as he presented Avery to us like she was his prize stallion.

"Well now everything has become so much more interesting!" Alucard chucked darkly from next to me. "Come on fury show me! I wish to see this true form! I have shown my true form show us the extent of your transformation! Fight me!" He shouted manically as he locked eyes with the Fury casing her to bare her fangs and growl.

"Very well vampire. You choose to let the world burn?" The Doctor asked as he looked over at the small group of people in front of him.

I felt ill; I could not let this happen. I knew what would happen if these two demons went head to head. We would have no hope the world would burn away and crumble to ash before we got the end result. They were both original demons and children of the dark. They were both the highest of their demonic forms, there was no one on heaven or earth that would be able to pry them apart long enough to stop it…

Integra POV

I could not believe what I was seeing! Millennium had taken the two people that were closest to me and turned them into monsters. My butler and grandfather figure was now a broken hearted vampire and my attendant and nanny…they…they had ripped apart what was best about her and moulded her into a monster. She did not remember any of us and it broke my heart, she was the closest thing to a mother I had ever had. I lost my birth mother and now I was loosing my second mother to the Nazis. I would not allow it! I would not sit by and let them ruin my family like this! I would rather see her ripped apart in a thousand pieces than see her be used like a puppet by our enemies. That is what she would have wanted.

"My master, I need you to give the order. Will you allow me to go to war with the Hell's Angel? Will you allow me the chance to rip to pieces the only mother figure you have ever known? And you Walter, will you stand by and idly watch as I rip away at the only woman you have ever loved? Will you do nothing in her aid as I send her back to the fires of hell? Sir Integra, your orders give me the orders Master. I can kill; I can slaughter them all without the slightest hint of regret. My hand holds the weapon but you pull the trigger." I took a long breath and lit up a cigar and took a few drags. Taking my time to assess if there was any possible chance that we did not have to fight this out but there was no hope left. It had to be done…she had to be taken out.

"Search and destroy. Servant you have orders. Annihilate all forces that appose us. Push forward, regardless of what or who it is! Destroy anyone in your way!" I scream at the top of my voice and choke back on my tears and I turn myself away from the scene. I knew I would have to watch but I just couldn't not yet…

3POV

"Yes, my master! This is wonderful! Now we can really have some fun! Show me what they have done to you Fury! Come on!" Alucard shouted darkly as he prepared himself for the fight.

The Doctor stood up and turned to Avery and began to chant a strange verse that seemed to sent her into a strange trance. Her eyes turned from her golden colour to completely black with orange cat like slits.

"I plead to thee, oh Fury. Descend with wings of razors, grant me the vengeance that I seek. I beg for retribution avenge these heinous deeds. Let the rivers all run red, punish those who swore false oaths and allow me my revenge." The Doctor commanded as the Fury began to transform into her highest form.

Her hair changed from her dark colour to a pale white, her skin became like marble, black veins spreading across her face, her black thorns spread like fire up her skin twisting up from her torso down her legs and around her arms and face; her hands transformed into long black claws and her teeth sharpened into razor sharp points. From her back two large wings made of flames began to spread around her, when the fire stopped a pair of black wings with silver razor tips had appeared, as the flames flickered on the end of her wings she turned to the onlookers. Spreading her arms out she let out a glass shattering wail as she enveloped herself in a red flame.

She was a sight to behold, breathtaking but a creature of nightmares. Her beauty was entrancing and painful to look upon. The ground cracked and broke away underneath her feet as she made her way towards the two vampires below her. Walter looked on in fear and Alucard looked on with glee and a hint of admiration.

"I am the minister of justice on earth. A child of eternal night; the harbinger of vengeance I am dooms witness to thee. The price of the blood you have shed I will wring from you in life and in death." She began, her voice now warped from her feminine tone to a raspy deep demonic voice which caused hairs to stand on end.

As she spoke the ground began to shake, Seras pulled Sir Integra into one of the safer buildings so they could watch the battle unfold.

Anderson had been pulled from the wreckage by the remaining members of Iscariot, his arm was beginning to regenerate and now it only had a large slice missing from it. As he looked up he caught site of the Fury who was facing off against the two vampires. The Iscariots stood in awe of the angelic creature that stood before them, a few began reciting passages from the bible and clutching onto their crosses and rosaries as they moved away from the battle and joined Sir Integra on the top floor

"Father Anderson, what should we do?!" they cried as they watched the battle that had begun on the ground below them.

"We are no match for these creatures now…." Anderson spoke through his gritted teeth. He hated to admit it but he was to worn out from the previous battle to even think about taking on either one of the four demons that stood below them.

"Iscariot, we are the only ones who will destroy Hellsing! We will not stand by and watch our enemy destroy our true nemesis! Only we have that right! We will protect the Hellsing organization form these Nazi vermin. We are the soldiers of the Lord and we will protect humanity and at this moment Hellsing stand for humanity. So we shall stand for them!" Anderson barked his orders as his men nodded in agreement. "So my paladins one last time before we run into the gates of hell; who are we?"

"We are the soldiers of Iscariot! We are Judas Iscariot!" They all chanted in union, before splitting up and attacking any nazi soldiers they came across.

Walter POV

The two demons flew at each other and began to tear each other apart. As Alucard shot holes into Avery's torso she just regenerated and sliced off parts of the vampire's body and he regenerated. This continued for a long time until both parties were panting and seething as they could do no damage anymore. They were both matched and they would not be able to do any damage to each other it was pointless, Alucard pulled out his demonic blade from his coat and ran at Avery, Avery dodged his attack and summoned a large silver staff, it had two long blades on either side. The two clashed once more as the sound of metal striking filled the air the demons both let out a mighty screech as they were matched.

Alucard had enough of playing, he summoned his large demonic hound that charged Avery who tried to dodge the demonic canines attacks. I could not watch anymore and sent my wires to slice up the hound.

"Alucard stop it!" I shout as I place myself between the two demons. They collided against me and I felt my bones break under their force. I took a deep breath and spat blood onto the floor before my body clicked back into place; I wrapped them both with wires and threw them both into opposing buildings.

"Now now Walter, you really must choose a side. Stop getting in our way!" Alucard shouted as he fazed back into the street followed shortly by the Fury who looked like she had taken some damage. Was she getting tired?

It had been years since she had done battle at this level, she would never have lasted this long before. Blood started to dribble down her face from her nose; that was sign she was overworking herself. Alucard new it too. As he grinned and pulled out his sword once more and went to take a strike at the woman.

"I will not let you kill Odette! I can't allow it!" I shout as I send my wires out once more, keeping the two demons in place like flies in a cobweb. Taking out a cigarette I place it in my mouth and inhale deeply.

"Smoking is a dirty habit Butler. Do not give the grim reaper any more reason to take you early." Avery said to me as she chuckled slightly, for a moment I thought I saw her eyes flash back to their golden colour. Her face softened ever so slightly as she looked over at me. Was she remembering something? She must be she would never comment on my smoking if she didn't…

"Avery….please stop this madness!" I cry out as I pull the woman over to me. My wires still wrapped around her keeping her in place. I could see tears starting to form in her eyes, was she remembering something? I prayed a silent prayer that she was.

"Odette…please, remember something…" I whisper to the Fury as I caressed the side of her face and wiped the blood away with my thumb.

"I'm trying…Walter…I'm trying to…" She sobbed out with a single tear. She remembered my name, she remembered me….or a little bit of me. There was hope, she could be saved. I have to stop his madness.

"Walter, get out of my way!" Alucard growled as he made his way over to us and pushed his blade into Avery's back causing her to fall to the floor with a screech.

"Stop this madness! I will not let you kill Odette! I can't allow it!" I growled as I placed myself between the two demons, Avery remained on the ground holding onto her

"Then you will have to stop me Angel of Death. Come on Walter C. Dornez let me see what power you have now you have joined the dark!"

Very well Alucard. We will have this out now. You will not take her from me!

3POV

Seras, Integra and Alexander Anderson watched the battle unfolding below them. The flames covered the whole of London City and the cries and screams of the demons echoed through the smoke. It was enough to turn anyone to madness it was a living nightmare, a hell on earth.

"It's burning….this whole world is burning away." Integra stuttered as she watched her loved once try to rip each other apart. How had it come to this? A few days ago they were all together in Hellsing Manor, Avery and Walter were a couple and their love for each other was blossoming once more, Alucard was being his usual self but there was a respect there…now….now they were at each other's throats like wild dogs.

Integra POV

I couldn't take it anymore; I could not watch them all destroy each other. This was exactly what the Nazis wanted, they took two of my team and ripped them apart, and turning them on us and now they sit back and watch as we tear ourselves apart from the inside out.

I ran down the stairs of the building trying to get to the battle as quickly as I could, Avery had dropped to the floor, Alucard had stabbed her with a demonic blade she was bleeding out. Walter and Alucard were bringing the city to it's knees as bladed wires cut down skyscrapers and Alucard black magic made the streets crumble.

I saw Avery, she watched the two men battle it out and she began to mumble to herself. Speaking strange words and looking around her with a strange manic gaze which unnerved me. She pulled herself up off of the floor and let out a blood curdling scream and sent a huge wave of flames to envelop everything around her. Luckily Seras had covered us with her protection which caused the fire to not harm us. Everything else began to burn to the ground.

"Avery stop! That's enough please! You are destroying everything! Stop it!" I scream as I grab a hold of the Fury and hold her in a tight embrace. She began to shake and tried to pry me off of her.

"Get off of me human!" She screeched as she tried to push me off of her.

"Avery please! This is not you!" Seras exclaimed as she too joined in and grabbed a hold of the demon who tried to get herself loose, in her protest she kicked my into the wall behind her. As she turned to attack the young vampire she pulled her across the street and placed her in a box of fire. She would not be able to get out of that cage until Avery allowed it.

"How do you know what I am?! Now, for your meddling you shall die!" The breath caught in my throat as the Fury turned to me as she conjured a ball of fire in her hands.

"Odette Avery! Stop it!" Seras screamed as she fought against her cage.

"You lost one child, do not be tricked into killing Integra to!" She cried out, causing the Fury to stop in her tracks in shock. Blinking slowly she turned back to the police girl and pulled her out of her cage and pinned her to the wall by her throat.

"What did you say?! What did you just say to me you little leech!" She spat as she tightened her grip on the vampire.

"Y-You can't kill Sir Integra I will not let you!" Seras spluttered out as she chocked.

"How dare you mention my daughter? How dare you speak of her!" Avery screamed as she threw the vampire across the road into a pile of rubble.

"Seras are you Ok?!" I shout as the police girl pulls herself out of the rubble.

Avery POV

I was so confused.These people call me Avery, the butler…Walter….he calls me Odette….Odette Avery, that sounds nice, that's a nice name… She mentioned my daughter, the little vampire she dared to mention my daughter, that I remember I remember clearly, I will always remember that it is seared into my memory for life.

As I walk over to the older blonde woman I begin to get flashes of memories coming back into my mind….I could not understand them all. Flashes of moments shared between myself and this woman, as a child, as a teenager, as a newborn….she wasn't my daughter but she felt as close as it was…I was so confused….more scenes flashed before me, an older man I could not see him around here, there was a warmth there, a feeling of affection I could sense it, he looked like the Butler who I had met in the ship. Walter…..yes….Walter Dornez, I remember….I recall small fleeting feelings between us.

"Look at her! Look at Sir Integra and tell me you do not see the little girl you raised! Tell me she isn't like the daughter you lost!" The young blonde yelled at me as she pinned me to the floor infront of the older blonde woman.

"Stop it!" I growl as I try to fight the demon off of me, she was strong and my mind was being bombarded with flashes of memories which I was trying to pin together….it was so hard….I was so confused.

"No! You need to snap out of it! This is madness you can't allow this to continue, look around you- you have killed so many innocent people." The young demon screeched as she held me against the floor.

"N-No! They were not innocent! Their souls were dirty they were tainted!" I panted as I recalled my ordered from the Major….The Major….I had seen him before now I remember! He was on the TV in the Queens Hall…I was kidnapped…that kitten…Schrödinger he took me….

"Your soul is tainted! You have become the monster!" Seras shouted at me as I sobbed against the floor as the painful memories flooded back into my head. Scenes were becoming longer, they were joining up to make one big picture….I remembered…I remembered everything but I didn't want to…

"You once told me as you sat sobbing in your bathroom that you never meant for this to happen. You never chose to become a demon, to be so full of anger. You were a little girl and they ruined you, the people you trusted murdered your daughter from you and locked you away in the mad house for decades. You had no say in any of that but you have a say in this now! You only wanted to be with your child – your pain turned you into this creature. The pain ate away at your soul and destroyed you…" Seras spoke softly in my ear as she held me against the floor. I began to growl and sob into the charred stone.

"S-stop it! Shut up!" I cried out. I couldn't take it anymore, I preferred knowing nothing!

Anderson POV

As I came closer to the scene which was taking place in front of me, I was taken aback by what I saw. The demon, the angel…the woman who had saved me was pinned to the floor by the young vampire. She was sobbing into the floor like a child; I had never seen a demon cry before. I was sure they couldn't cry. However, this woman was a strange creature, she sobbed into the floor and I felt a tinge of pity for the creature as I listened to her story, she had no made the choice to become a demon like Alucard had. Her grief ate away at her soul and no one was there to offer her redemption…She wasn't a demon, she was a broken soul.

I was pulled out of my revelation by the Iscariot soldiers behind me. "What are you waiting for!? Kill the demon!" Heinkel shouted to me as I stood watching the scene.

"No hold your fire! Do not shoot her!" I shot back at them, they all turn to me in shock. I admit I was shocked at myself but something was not right and I needed to see this out.

"Anderson what is wrong with you?!" Yumie exclaimed as the rest of the company pointed their guns at the scene.

"I said hold you damn fire!"I barked back causing a few members to gasp and step back and whisper.

"You and my master, you are not monsters you are children in pain…" I heard Seras whisper to the sobbing woman.

Integra POV

It broke my heart to watch the scene in front of me; I cared deeply for both females who worked for me. I never knew Avery's back story she would never tell me even if I ordered her to. I thought back to something my father had told me on his deathbed.

"Integra there are many immortal monsters which roam this earth, when I look at them I wonder. Were they created because they wanted immortality, I have seen them roaming the battlefield. I think they cry out for death. All that remains is a pale shadow of the humans before I have come to believe. Those immortals are frail sobbing children…"

It was true. They were just sobbing children. It was not the first time I had found Avery sobbing…As my mind recalled an event from over 15 years ago. Avery was my nanny I used to call her Nanna Avery…I had found her crying in one of the rooms when I was very young, she told me she wasn't crying but I didn't believe her…

3POV

Fifteen years ago in the Hellsing Manor Avery sat at the grand piano crying silently to herself. When a five year old Integra Hellsing ran into the room looking for her nanny she was confused with the sight she found.

"Nanna Avery, why do you cry?" Integra asked her Nanna from the side of the piano. Avery rubbed her eyes and smiled at the child next to her, she was small and blonde with big blue eyes and a flowly white dress with blue ribbons. She was the cutest little girl.

"Oh, child I do not cry!" Avery laughed as she wiped her tears away and pulled the young girl onto her lap and hugged her close to her chest.

"But you have water on your face…don't fib to me Nanna." The young child asked as she wiped her hands over the older woman's face rubbing off her tears causing the nanny to laugh and sniff away her tears.

"Here give me a hug me and tell me why you cry." The young Integra ordered with a smile as she received a big hug from her Nanna.

"Child you are too kind for this world" Avery whispered as she held the child close to her.

Integra POV

I pulled myself away from the memory and returned to the pressing situation. Avery sat with her head in her hands screaming in pain as she shook her head back and forth.

"Get them out of my head. Get them out I can't do this!" Avery screamed as she held onto her head tears streaming from her face.

"Miss Avery…" I stuttered as I pulled myself up off the floor and slowly walked over to the two women.

"Please kill me! Someone just kill me please! I am done I can't do this anymore I am tired of being peoples weapons!" Avery screamed as she lashed out. I knelt down in front of the woman who was once my nanny and took a deep breath.

"Sir Integra…be careful…" Seras whispered to me, I nodded as I placed both of my hands on the side of Avery's face and brought her up to face me.

"Nanna Avery, why do you cry?" I asked, I could see that the demons gaze had returned to her old golden eyes, her full Fury form had melted away to show the human side of the demon. She no longer had claws or fangs.

"Stop it, I am not crying!" Avery swallowed and tried to pull away. I took one gloved hands and wiped away a stray tear from her face.

"You have water on your face. Come now, after all this time don't fib to me now." I chuckled sadly as I took the demon into a tight embrace and rocked her as she wept.

"I-Integra...I don't want to do this anymore…I can't do this anymore. I am tired, I'm so tired I want to die…I want to see my child again…" Avery sobbed into my chest as I rocked her. I knew it was time for her to see her family, she wanted to die and I was not going to let her live in pain anymore.

As I used one hand to rock her gently I pulled out Helena's Nail from my pocket, I had picked it up when I was thrown into the pile of rubble.

"Integra, I am so sorry…please tell everyone I didn't mean it…It wasn't me….tell Walter I am so sorry…and it wasn't his fault there was nothing he could have done….I love you all so much…I'm so sorry…" She sobbed into my chest, I swallowed hard and plunged the nail into the Fury's neck causing her to let out a screech as a cloud of black smoke came flooding from her eyes, nose and mouth. She took one last look at me and let a tear roll down her face…

"Thank you…Integra" She chocked before she went limp in my arms. I let out a long sob and pressed a kiss on her forehead and rocked the body of my beloved nanny in my arms…

"Sleep now Hell's Angel. You are due your rest from this world." I whisper as I sobbed gently into her hair.

She was gone….she was a real angel now.
