Chapter 16: Consequences and retribution

Walter POV

Alucard and I had been sparing for a while now, both of us had sustained a decent number of injuries. However, we were both holding back and we knew it. Integra's order was made but we both knew the message hidden behind it.

As I dodged an incoming attack from the vampire I felt a deep gut wrenching pain in my heart. Falling to the floor clutching my chest I began to panic, I knew what this meant, something was wrong. I had to get to Odette…before the two of us could move we heard a blood curdling scream coming from the buildings we had started at.

It was Odette I already knew it, she needed help. As I rushed to my feet I began to run over to the site Alucard had taken the sound as what it was and we both mutually called a truce as we ran to the site of the screaming.

"I think it is too late my old friend…" Alucard said sadly as we ran to the collection of women who lay on the floor. I refused to believe what lay in front of me, my Master sat rocking the body of my beautiful girl in her arms, she was cold, I could not hear any signs of life with my enhanced senses. This was not happening; I could not allow this to happen! Not to her not to me beautiful Odette….

"No! Get out of my way!" I screamed as I pulled Odette's lifeless body into my arms, she was so cold the only trace of warmth came from the blood that had formed around her neck. I pulled out the needle which was wedged into her throat and tossed it into the rubble as it burned deep into my palms. I didn't care, my girl, my poor girl was dead.

"Walter…I'm sorry…she is gone…" Seras whispered as the stroked the hair out of Odette's face. I chocked back sob as I pulled the body tighter into my chest and placed a long kiss onto her forehead. Red tears began to run down my face and land onto Odette's face, using my shirt cuffs I wiped the red liquid from her face. My sadness turned into rage as I looked up at the remaining members of Hellsing.

"Who did this?! WHO!?" I growled as I held the body against me, no one was going to touch her now, she was mine I should have taken her away from the danger when I had the chance. I let her get captured, I left for ten minutes and they ripped her away from me. If I had waited ten minutes I would have been able to stop this whole thing from happening. I was such a fool, a fucking fool!

"I did…" Integra confessed as she moved to touch her attendant's face. I grabbed a hold of my Masters arm and squeezed a little harder than I should have causing her to gasp as her arm broke. Alucard and Seras both growled and made a move to attack me.

"No, stop! I deserve it, leave him be. He is one of ours I order all Hellsing members to stand down." Integra ordered as she pulled her arm towards her.

"Water, I am so sorry….you know how much she meant to me. I knew how much she cared for all of us. She wanted to die, she was so broken inside and I couldn't ask her to carry on. She begged me for death…I had to give her that mercy … Walter I'm so sorry…" Integra whispered as he choked back tears. Sir Integra had not shed a tear since her father's passing over ten years ago, I could see she was full of guilt.

Looking down at the woman in my arms my heart wrenched in pain as I sobbed into her hair. "No…no NO! Tell me you didn't please! Tell me you didn't! Not my girl! Not her! No!" I sobbed as I placed kissed on the dead woman's head. I don't know what I was thinking, if this were a fairytale I would have kissed her and she would have woken up and we would have run off into the sunset and got married. None of that would be happening now…she was gone.

"I did all of this so she could be with ME! This wasn't how it was meant to happen! We were going to be happy…I was going to be there, I promised I said I would protect her!" I shouted as I held the woman against me.

"Walter sir, Avery told us to tell you that she was sorry and she knew that you tried your best; she said it was her choice and that she was sorry she told us to tell you that she loved you and that she always had loved you from the beginning…she wanted you to know that…" Seras said softly as she watched me hug my dead love to my chest. My poor girl, she loved me, she finally admitted it. Why did she have to make me wait this long. Stubborn woman, such a fucking stubborn woman! I was pulled out of my grief when I sensed the familiar scent of the Doctor. This was his fault, I was going to tear the life from him, but not before I made him suffer.

"What have you done!? You have destroyed my weapon!" The Doctor shouted as he approached our group. I saw red; I could not control myself anymore. I placed Odette onto the ground gently as not to harm her anymore and before anyone could stop me I had wrapped my wires around the Doctors arms and legs and held him in place like a fly in a web. His limbs stretched out to their furthest reaches cutting into his skin.

"Your weapon? YOUR FUCKING WEAPON!"I screamed at him as I crushed his left leg in my wires, I spilled no blood as I reduced his bones into dust. He let out a piercing screech as I did the same to the other leg.

"You…I will crush you! You did this!" I growled as I crushed his arms in my wires causing him to hang from the wires and whimper out like a dying mutt. I wrapped more sharp wires around his mouth to shut him up. I was tired of hearing from him; he took her from me! He took my girl and he tore her apart from the inside out. He made me the monster I am now and left me to walk this earth without Odette. He would pay; if I had to search the ends of the earth and track this bastard down I would kill him. Slowly, intimately in as many painful ways as I could think of but I had him before me, I was going to wipe him from the face of the earth.

"She was a weapon! Nothing more!" The Doctor wheezed as he tried to look up at me.

"Don't you dare call her a weapon! She was more than that; she was more than anything you could ever make her!" I bellowed as kicked him in the stomach causing him to cough up a pool of blood.

"Sir Integra, could you be so kind as to give me my orders. I want to rip this son of a bitch limb from limb. I could fillet him piece by piece until there was nothing left but bone and rotten muscle. It is your choice. I am your butler; I am not their lab monkey, not anymore... Give me my orders Sir Integra!" I growled as I turned to my Master who had taken Odette into her arms.

"Walter...kill him!" She screamed her orders.

"N-no! You can't kill me! I still have work to do!" The Doctor cried out as he tried frantically to free himself from his bladed cobweb where he hung. An evil growl crossed my lips as I pulled out more bladed wires.

"You have no place in this world anymore!"

Integra POV

I tried my hardest to watch the scene which was taking place in front of me. My butler was heartbroken, he had lost his mate. He wanted revenge and by God was he taking it out on the Doctor, I tore my eyes away from the mangled body which hung from the wires in front of us. Walter had filleted and tore of layers of skin and muscles leaving the Doctor to beg for death as he slowly bled out onto the ground begging for death.

Once he had finished he kicked one of the main pillars of the building beside us causing it to come crashing down around us. He was becoming too enraged we had to put the anger to better use or he might turn on us.

"Walter that is enough! Calm down please for now, we will have our revenge soon enough." I ordered as the Butler dug his nails into his palms and fell to his knees and took hold of Odette one last time placing a long gentle kiss on her cold lips. If this were a fairytale now would be where she would have woken up and we could have all gone home and sang a nice song about how good triumphs over evil, but in this world we were all evil now.

"My girl, my sweet sweet girl. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you…" Walter whispered as he rocked the body in his arms. I was at my wits end with the Nazis and their bullshit plans it was time to destroy them once and for all.

"Come Walter, we have a few more cockroaches to step on before the daybreaks." I hissed as I pulled myself up from the floor, Walter gently placed Odette onto the ground and posed her so she looked like a sleeping angel he pressed a kiss on her forehead and stood up to walk with us.

"Papists watch over the body would you, we have unfinished business to attend to." I asked Anderson who took a deep breath and nodded. "Aye, we will watch the body for you and look for any survivors." He commented as a number of Iscariot soldiers ran off to look for signs of life.

Before I knew what was happening Walter had placed himself in front of the Judas Priest as he bore his teeth he growled a final threat to the catholic priest. "I find one hair out of place on her head, I will kill you!"

"Don't threaten me demon!" Anderson hissed back as he pulled out his blades."Walter come now!" I barked for Walter to follow us into the Zeppelin avoiding any more deaths.

3POV

The major watched will glee as the events unfolded, he took particular pleasure in watching his Doctor be torn apart by the Hellsing butler. Violence was a necessary part of war it didn't matter who the violence was against as long as there was violence, the Major was a happy man.

As he turned to face the door to the main hall he chuckled as the Hellsing main members fought their way into the room.

"Welcome Hellsing, how wonderful you are all here! Well not all of you of course did the pretty girl sing her swan song? Such a pity, she was quite a wonderful creature" The major laughed as he took a sip from his glass of wine.

The Hellsing butler ran forward to pin the fat blonde man to the wall but was held back by Alucard who took a hold of his collar.

"You bastard!" He hissed as the Major chuckled to himself. He was enjoying this, relishing the fact that his goal had been achieved, this war was never about conquest, it was about destruction and what better form of destruction could there be then the entire collapse of London City and the dissolution of Hellsing. That was good enough for him. That was his war.

"Oh calm yourself boy. You are always so eager!" The Major mocked as he crossed his legs facing the group in front of him. The three vampires stood protecting their Mistress, Integra stood holding her crushed arm in place as she glared at the Nazi leader.

"This was all your doing Nazi…why?" She hissed causing the Nazi to smirk and take a sip of his drink.

"Why fraulein? I told you before, some men, mostly me, we just love to watch the world burn…and burn it did….oh did it burn." The Major replied with a smug smile as he stood up from his chair and walked towards the group.

"How does it feel butler realizing you have now turned to the darkness, you will walk all your days alone now your mate is dead." He cackled as the Hellsing Butlers eyes flashed red once more as he growled at the blonde man in front of him.

"Someone shut him up! His words are poison! I do not want to hear anymore!" Seras barked as she shuffled in her place, holding her newly acquired canon.

"Well, that is fine with me" The Major chuckled. "My war was wonderful, my time on this stage is over now Integra Wingates Hellsing please go ahead now and kill me." He sighed happily as he stretched out his arms preparing for impact.

"Sir Integra your orders…" Alucard purred as his eyes turned that dark red colour, he was going to enjoy destroying this man after fifty years.

"Destroy him!"

Schrödinger POV

I thought what the Major had done to people was gruesome, I was mistaken as I stood by the door and watched the Hellsing demons rip apart my old Master I couldn't help by chuckle; they were surely a powerful bunch of people. I wouldn't mind being on their good side for the time being. As I stood at the door I noticed the presence of the Captain next to me, I looked up at him and he gave me a knowing look; he had no interest in intervening, he had been the Millennium pet dog for over fifty years I could see he was tired of it, we were all tired of it.

I jumped back slightly as I heard a loud explosion coming from the rooms below us, they must have set off one of the reactors when they sliced into the Major. This was not good news at all, if they had triggered off the safety this aircraft would be up in flames within minutes. We had to get out quickly.

Running over to the group I pulled on the arm of the pretty young vampire, who turned to me confused. "You all need to go, this place is set to self destruct in moments. It would be best if you all left and left quickly." I explained as I pulled her away from the Major's mangled body. The other members of Hellsing had all made a group around their Master.

"Why are you two helping us?" Integra spat as she took out her gun and aimed it at my face.

"Because we are tired of being Millennium lap dogs…" I explained sadly as I moved forward.

"We need to go now! Or you will all be ash!" I exclaimed as I pushed the vampires into a huddle. The butler tried to break away and run to the door but the Captain grabbed a hold of him and held him in place.
"I must go and bring Odette back with us!" He shouted as he struggled against the Captain's grip.

"No there is no time! Leave the dead!" I hissed as he was dragged back over into the group.

"No!" He shouted as he stuggled to push away from the group. " I can't leave her!"

"Walter enough we have to leave her now…I'm sorry." Alucard said with a softer than usual tone as he took hold of his old friend.

"Come hold onto me…" I said sadly as the group placed their hands on me.

"Where to Fraulein?" I asked the blonde woman who seemed pained by her decision. She blinked and looked over to me with a hard glare.

"Take me away from here…" She ordered.

"Yes Fraulein!"

Walter POV

The Nazi cat had transported us to one of the secondary Hellsing houses in the country. I could not keep my mind in check. She was dead. I had left her to burn…

"We left her! We just left her to burn…." I shouted as I fell to the floor outside the house. I could not longer take it anymore.

"We had to get out there was nothing we could have done!" Seras said sadly as she placed a hand on my shoulder in an attempt to comfort me. It wasn't working, nothing would work…

"You had to leave there Butler, you would have died to" Schrödinger commented as he dusted himself off, we had landed on the floor quite ungracefully.

"Why did you help us you little shit! You are one of the ones who helped tear us apart! You took her from us" I snapped at the young boy who moved to hide behind Integra.

"I was not aware of what they were doing…" He said sadly as he looked down to the floor.

"Bullshit! You knew what was happening!" I yelled as I made my way over to the boy. He may look like child but he was just as bad as that fucking Doctor.

"Yes, I knew certain plans but I found out what the major really wanted….he was mad, he lied to us and we couldn't stand by and let it happen." The boy explained, as I stepped forward I was blocked by the imposing presence of the Captain; he stood a head above me. I was in no way to fight him tonight.

"We will talk about this later. We need to get some rest and patch ourselves up, we have to figure out our next step…Walter…I'm sorry.." Integra said as she made her way into the large house.

"I can't deal with this now, please excuse me…" I chocked out as I made my way past everyone into the suite that once belonged to Odette. It still smelled of her, I collapsed onto her bed and screamed. Sobbing into the bedding I tried to hold onto the scent of my girl. I would never hold her again…

She is gone…my darling. My sweet girl; my Odette. I couldn't save her and I left her in the street to die…what kind of a monster does that make me? I did this, I gave up my humanity so I could save her; now I am stuck in this body forever…

I have to go on without her…I don't know how I will be able to. I can't…I am so fucking foolish!

If I had just stayed human, I would have been dead and gone in ten years twenty at a push, then I could see her again. I could hold her again, now…now I am doomed to walk this earth alone…whilst she looks down from heaven…What if she has gone to hell? My poor sweet darling, in Hell…No! No! I could not bare to think on it, there was no place for her in hell.

This was not happening, this was a nightmare…I would wake up and I would still be nuzzled into Odette's hair as we cuddle in bed together and this would just have been a bad dream.

It had to be…

Anderson POV

There were no survivors of this war; all we found were a handful of ghouls and vampires which we soon sent to hell. As I cleaned off my sword I was pushed off of my feet by the pressure of an explosion which came from the direction of the zeppelin.

Pushing myself up off of the floor, I made my way through the dust over to Heinkel and Yumiko who were standing watch over the dead demons body.

"Oh my…the Zeppelin…do you think they made it out…" Yumiko squeezed as she covered her mouth in shock. The zeppelin had burst into flames, if I didn't know any better I would have said they must have been dead.

"The Lord knows… come we must leave this wasteland. We return to Rome" I said as I dusted myself off and wiped the blood from my face. My arm had almost fully recovered now, that gun was one mighty weapon. As I said a small prayer for our fallen comrades and innocent souls I turned to walk away.

"Father Anderson you will want to see this!" Yumiko called out in shock as she motioned me back to her. What could possibly be the matter now?

"What is it Yumiko? We have to get out of here before the fires spread to us, we don't have much time" I snap as I walk over to the dark haired woman, she is sat in shock next to the body of the demon.

"The Fury...she is alive!" Yumiko exclaimed as she pointed to the demons chest which had begun to raise and lower slowly. I looked over the body once more, I was stunned as I realized that the body did not look the same as the creature did when she was killed. She had changed…

As I moved closer to the body the other members of Iscariot all pulled out their weapons and pointed them at the body.

"No, wait lower your weapons, something is not right here" I said as I knelt down next to the body. Something was wrong, she did not look the same. Her hair was no longer dark, her skin was no pale…she was warm…demons are cold creatures they have dead blood in their veins. I demon cannot be warm…

"…is she …" Heinkel gasped as she raised her gun once more. The demon had changed into something else the body was different, the woman had short curly ginger hair, she was slightly tan and freckles covered her cheeks, she was warm…she looked strange... she looked human. She looked nothing like the dark demon woman that we all feared.

"It looks like it, she is bleeding…demons do not bleed like that…" I said in shock as I looked over at the woman, her neck was pouring with blood so I grabbed a rag off of a dead vampire and wrapped it around her neck trying to stop the bleeding.

"No there is no way!" Heinkel gasped as she realized what had happened. What Helena's Nail had done, we had never seen its powers over a demon. Now we could not believe our eyes.

"Why would she be pardoned by God there is no way! Look around you at what she did." Yumiko snapped as she stood up angrily.

"Our Lord works in mysterious ways…." I spoke in shock as I could feel the pulse of the woman getting stronger under my touch.

"Demon, I will kill her!" One of the Iscariot soldiers yelled as they ran at us with their knives out.

"No that's enough. She is no more a demon than any of us. We can't murder a sleeping unarmed woman. That is not right." I barked back at the soldier who stepped back in shock.

"But Father she is one of them!" Another priest shouted to me as I pulled the unconscious woman into my arms and picked her up from the floor.

"Not anymore she is not; she has been abandoned by her kin and given a second chance by God. We will take her back to Rome; she has nowhere else to go now." I said as I readjusted my grip on the woman's body.

"I do not like this!" Yumie barked from behind me causing me to turn and scowl at the woman.

"It is not your decision if you like it or not. This place is going to go up in flames and we will not leave a confused woman here to burn alive. No matter what she was, the Lord had shown her mercy we have a chance to save her soul." I said as the nun looked at me completely shocked. I admit, I would normally have left the woman to die, but she was concerned for my soul, even in her demonic form…I owed her a debt.

"Why are you showing the creature mercy?" Heinkel asked as we made our way down the road.

"She saved my life back there, now I owe her a debt." I sighed as we walked out of the city. Heinkel and Yumie looked on confused as they followed behind.

"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace"
