Chapter 25

On The ground Heinkel stared at Yumie's blade seeing the sun reflection in it, she remembered a hundred years ago. Mere hours before the attack.

"Heinkel!" Anderson said motioning to Heinkel.

"Aww!" Yumie said, "We were having fun in our card game!"

Heinkel sighed standing up, "I won't be long!"

She ran over to Anderson's location in the alleyway and asked, "What did you call me here for?"

Anderson looked to Heinkel, "Remember the first year you joined us at the orphanage Heinkel? When you learned I was Wiglaff from The story of Beowulf?"

Heinkel nodded and Anderson knelt down in front of her.

"That's a lie. I'm not Wiglaff."

Heinkel laughed, "Hehe...Father is this a joke?"

Anderson wasn't laughing, "You see...there is a lie I have made about myself for years. For centuries even."

Anderson turned to look at Big Ben that towered over them.

"You see...I am Judas Iscariot."

Heinkel nodded, "Ja I know. We say that a lot."

Anderson shook his head, "No Heinkel...you don't understand. I am Judas Iscariot."

Heinkel felt like she had been hit with a giant wave, "W-What?"

Anderson didn't turn around.

"When I was born I was born in a world of sin. When I met Jesus he changed me, made me a disciple. However due to his predictions I did end up killing him."

Heinkel moved back, "Y-You were the one who betrayed Jesus?"

Anderson nodded, "Yes...I betrayed him. He was crucified for 30 pieces of silver. But the regret in my actions drove me to commit suicide. However three days after Jesus came to me and revived me from my death. He told me that I was forgiven for my actions and I was far more important that I could ever imagine."

Anderson gazed up at the moon and said, "He gave me my power and told me that I would protect the Earth from Heathens and Heretics. He said upon being revived from death I'd be branded a new name. That name was Alexander Anderson: A man who is the protector of man. He told me that I was to form a hidden section of his teachings to protect The Vatican under a 13th Section, although I would found and introduce it I shall not lead.

"I did as he asked, making Section 13, and every Crusade up to this point was a stepping stone to right now."

Heinkel asked, "Why...why are you telling me now?"

Anderson glanced back, "Because Tonight I shall die."

Heinkel gasped, "Father? How do you know?"

Anderson laughed adjusting his glasses, "I was told there is a man to be born centuries after me. He'd be just like me, born from sin, and would become sin. He'd be the first of a race of sinful monsters I'd have to fight. He is a King who will hold great power. During the turning of the second millennium I would face him and I would pass under the dawn's sunlight."

"But...why are you telling me?"

Anderson turned around staring expectantly down at Heinkel, "Because Heinkel...I was told the white wolf would be my successor...that's you Heinkel."

Heinkel froze, "What do you mean?"

"I mean you are to become the next Regenerator after me...carry on with my work, and become Iscariots new caretaker."

Heinkel moved back in astonishment, "I...Why not Yumie then?"

Anderson sighed, "Yumie has two minds not one, if her body only had one personality inside then believe me I would've allowed for there to be a choice. Unfortunately that's not the case. You are the most resourceful out of all the Iscariot members. You were raised the earliest, had the most training, and even now have the biggest heart."

Anderson smiled kneeling down taking her hand, "You will take the dust I have left and use it to make yourself a Regenerator."

Anderson frowned and stood up then, his glasses glowing in the shadow of his face as he turned to see the sun setting on that brilliant day.

"Speak none of this to Yumie. As my successor only you are to know."

Heinkel was about to speak but Anderson cut her off, "Act as if you've heard nothing. This conversation never existed."

Heinkel asked as Anderson walked away, "Anderson...how do you know you are going to die tonight?"

Anderson froze, his right hand had been gripping a small rectangular wooden box inside his overcoat with the words, "SECTION 3 MATTHEW" the box itself had been cracking lightly under the stress he put it through.

"...I have lived too long Heinkel."

Anderson walked off, "I am prepared to give every once of my blood tonight."

Heinkel woke up in some hospital bed groaning in pain. She looked down to see her hand and foot have been cut off.

She spoke in a raspy voice, "Nurse!...Nurse!"

Suddenly the door open and in walked a man with frizzled gray hair with a giant scar on his face.

"Greetings Heinkel...you have been unconscious for quite a while so you have missed quite a bit. My name is Chief Makube, a pleasure to meet you."

Heinkel looked out the window away from him.

"Since...our...last head went insane and blew up London The Pope has decided based on a dream he has had recently that there shall be two Regenerators instead of one. So I have been taken from the battlefield and made into a Regenerator."

Heinkel asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

Makube sat in a chair opposite of the bed, "We've looked through Maxwell's files and we've seen how he has been insistent on Yumiko and Yumie Tagaki would become a Regenerator. However Anderson has been highly defiant and vocal for to become a candidate...but after the incident with the Angel of Death-my condolences by the way."

Heinkel said nothing.

"So that leaves you. Anderson's personal pick. Although if Anderson were here he'd force you to volunteer however we feel it is better to give you a choice."

Heinkel sat up, "Why would Section 13 need me? They have you."

Makube shook his head, "We felt I was here for Diplomatic solutions this time around since Maxwell's incorrigible attitude was left unchecked and had put Section 13 and Hellsing in a territorial dispute using nothing but documentation on Millennium as an apology. Although I am trained like the other Crusaders I am more of a representative than a warrior. Besides they felt my Regeneration was necessary to keep good leadership over Section 13, not to mention your combat skill far surpasses mine. Although I would replace Maxwell you would replace Anderson. You'd be stationed at one of our Iscariot member training Facilities here in Vatican city and shall raise the recruits."

Heinkel turned away from Makube again and he sighed, "Anderson wanted this...just remember that."

As Makube got up and opened the door.

"Wait!"

He turned as Heinkel sat up, "I'll do it...I'll become The Vatican's Champion."

Makube smiled, "Welcome aboard Heinkel Wolfe."

As The door closed Heinkel look to her cut off foot and hand and growled. Her still remaining hand clutched the bedside railing thinking thoughts of revenge.

Heinkel sighed as she stood up with Yumie's sword, "Anderson...forgive me...All this time I lived to be better than you and achieve vengeance..."

Heinkel turned around to see the sun shinning over the horizon.

Heinkel would've smiled if she had cheeks, "I will be Judas Iscariot Father! I will!"

Miles away at the bridge Seras stared on her knees at the ground where Alucard keeled. The she smiled softly placing her hand where he was. Her human hand, it reminded her of when he caught her hand so long ago. How he saved her.

She shook that image out of her head. Alucard would've said he didn't save her, he offered a choice to live. Thinking of that alone made her want to cry but Marcus placed his hand on her shoulder. She turned to face him and saw he was smiling.

Seras sniffed and smiled back hugging him.

Penwood stood in front of both of them overlooking the bridge seeing the sunrise. He was reminded of his Father, Islands, and Integra. Would he be a good successor he asked but then he heard a voice speak back.

"You will."

Penwood turned to see Seras smiling.

"We'll be right behind you."

Penwood glanced as Marcus who grinned determinedly.

Penwood then shuddered as both Marcus and Seras knelt down. From the angel he saw Seras her face was buried in shadow except for a single glowing eye and her vampire arm flowing like fire in the Dawn's light. Marcus also knelt but his face was covered in shadow with two glowing blue eyes peering out from the darkness and a series of wires were waving and shining behind him.

Seras and Marcus spoke in unison, "Your orders Master."

Penwood smiled as he reached into his pocket pulling out one of Integra's cigars and lighting it. He then placed it in his mouth inhaling and resisting the urge to cough.

He stood over both of them. His overcoat not even having his arms in the sleeves waving in the breeze as he stared down at Seras and Marcus.

One Year Later

Northern Ireland Town

A vampire in a hospital laughed as his Ghouls were feasting on the remains of his oppressors.

"Hahahaha! This is fantastic! Who would even challenge me or call me crazy now?"

In the lobby The door blew open as Seras entered with her Harkonnen. The Ghouls moaned as she fired an incendiary shell setting the group on fire. The vampire on the top floor looked from the interior window and gasped.

"What?!"

Seras looked up and grinned loading a shell and aiming at the window. The Vampire squealed running from the window as his ghouls and him were met with an explosion.

The vampire gasped as the back of his jacket caught fie but he grabbed it ripping it off. He then turned wide eyed as Seras jumped through the window and aimed The Harkonnen at him. As he opened the room and shut it behind him Seras grinned but then gasped hearing two gun shots go off. Seras charged at the door kicking it open to see there were two holes in him. One in his head and one through his heart. He gagged as his body fell limp to the ground.

There by the window of the moonlight stood Heinkel Wolfe with her pistols aimed. The moonlight shinning off her sun glasses.

"Been a while Hellsing dog." Heinkel spat at Seras.

Seras grinned The Harkonnen dissolving into red smoke just as The Casull and The Jackal formed in each hand and she aimed them at Heinkel.

"Heya Heinkel! Long time no see!"

Heinkel chuckled, "It's been a year Seras."

Seras shrugged, "I know I just get used to saying that otherwise I look insensitive. When your immortal you tend to lose track of time."

Heinkel snapped, "Hey! Have you forgotten I can't age either?"

Seras smirked, "You're different. Despite the fact you're an Iscariot lap dog I feel like we're practically sisters. Because we're both gun nuts."

Heinkel shook her head as she removed her pistols, "Wish I could say the same. But as long as you are a vampire the closest I can say is an old friend."

Seras lost her smile, "Yeah...I mean for killing Master I sorta have to fight you all the time now."

Heinkel eyes were hidden by her sunglasses but underneath she had a look of concern, "...Sorry about that..."

Seras looked down and smiled, "It's OK. It's how he would've wanted to go. If Anderson killed him a hundred years ago I'm pretty sure he'd be happy then. But I think he enjoyed the fact you chose not to make yourself like him and give up your humanity."

Heinkel cocked her pistols, "Yes, I would rather burn in the lowest pits of Hell than do that."

Seras smiled awkwardly, "Not to mention that means we would've have to fight like our Masters did a hundred years ago. Just keep on fighting until one of us won. That wouldn't be fun."

Heinkel lifted her guns, "Yes...why end it so fast? When you trained as intensely as I, you would definitely want to invest your talents wisely.

Heinkel fired both guns in time as Seras dodged. Seras in turned fired Casull rounds which bounced off Heinkel. Heinkel reloaded her guns and gasped as Heinkel as Seras aimed The Jackal at Heinkel. As she fired Heinkel used her increased spread to dodge lightly moving back and forth shooting Seras.

Seras took the gunfire but grinned reloading both guns and firing more. One Jackal round hit Heinkel's shoulder and The Casull round into that wound as well blood exploding everywhere.

Heinkel growled as she reloaded her guns and said, "We are agents of God. Angels from on High to represent Divine punishment."

She crossed her pistols and said, "AMEN!"

Seras grinned as she aimed her pistols at Heinkel just as she dashed forward. Seras fired at Heinkel but each shot missed and the Casull and Jackal both ran out just as Heinkel unloaded both clips into Seras completely riddling her until Heinkel's guns clicked.

Seras chuckled, "Even when I use my Third Eye and my human eyes you are still able to dodge. I'm impressed."

Heinkel chuckled as she waved her coat behind her revealing three bullet holes.

"You got close definitely," Heinkel reloaded, "But the strength in my legs and my ability to track vampires movements allows me to predict your shots."

Seras reloaded, "Heh...I thought Anderson was tough."

Heinkel laughed as she threw a smoke bomb on the ground making a thick cloud appear.

Seras tried to use her Third Eye and found it difficult. She then smelt the gas and grinned, "Blessed Silver Bombs?"

Heinkel spoke, "Yes, I figured since blessed silver is tough in a sword or a bullet why not a bomb?"

As Heinkel spoke three bayonets rushed from the outside of the smoke and pierced Seras's flesh. She gasped as the blessed steel burnt her insides and she fired some Casull and Jackal rounds.

Then four bayonets from behind. She pointed the Jackal backwards to fire at her. she charged in from behind Seras swiping with Yumie's sword.

Seras gasped as a giant cut was inflicted on her back. She turned around to see she had disappeared.

A cycle began with bayonets sticking into Seras and now she had empty guns and she was being pierced all around by holy blades.

Heinkel charged in again this time swinging at her legs. As Seras fell the ground she turned over to fire spraying shots hoping to hit but she would guess Heinkel would charge in. As she regenerated her legs Heinkel dashed in but to her surprised Seras turned around in time to get stabbed but grabbed Heinkel by her throat and launched her down the hallway sending her tumbling to the window. She managed to slide to a halt but her head broke the glass and the drop was bit. She knew if she fell she'd probably be fine but her legs would take some time to fix any broken bones.

As she stood up she gasped moving as a single bayonet was chucked back and missed making a thin cut on her cheek.

Seras chuckled walking forward as her entire body became a red mist with the bayonets fazing through her and cluttering to the floor under her where she retained human form.

"That all you have?"

Heinkel growled removing a detonator and a hissing sound rang under Seras. She gasped seeing the bayonets had explosives inside of them and the explosion mangled her body and blew a hole into the floor making her fall through the Hospital's plaza to the lobby floor.

Heinkel laughed, "Perfect...fell for it."

She then got up removing her pistols walking slowly towards the hole. Once she looked through it she saw Seras's mist form once more recovering from her ambush but instead of the Casull and Jackal she had The Harkonnen 2. She looked up with glee aiming them at the ceiling.

Heinkel's eyes widened, "Shit."

She turned just as the bullets flew tearing through the floor like a child on Christmas day would his presents. Heinkel tried her best to dodge but found it hard when she couldn't see where the bullets were coming from.

She gasped as a single bullet rammed through her side and a giant explosion of blood caught her off guard. The bullets formed a circle around her making her fall through the floor. As she fell Seras fired at her riddling her body with bullet wounds. She gasped as there was so much pain. If she were Anderson the fight would be over, but her Regeneration was upgraded. But compared to the Jackal round the Harkonnen 2's ammunition felt like cannon balls hitting her.

As she hit the ground Seras grinned her guns dissolving into black smoke as she walked to the bloody mess on the ground.

"Had enough?"

Seras's questions was answered as a single flash of light decapitating her head. Heinkel bruised and bleeding used Yumie's sword to cut her head off.

Heinkel panted as she stabbed the sword into the ground to steady herself on it. But Seras's head regenerated adsorbing her guns, "You just don't know when to quit."

She grinned forming the Jackal and Casull and aiming them both.

But then police lights light up the plaza through the windows and cars drove up.

Seras turned and gasped and Heinkel sheathed her sword removing her pistols, but she gasped as she fell to the ground too tore up to stand. Seras adsorbed her guns again and grabbed Heinkel, using her vampire arm she formed little miniature flames.

As the police came in and fired the flames protected them from the bullets and then the arm formed wings and Seras shot off into the sky.

Heinkel looked down as she flew seeing the policemen in shock and saw how little Ireland looked. But as the sun's light began to make the horizon red she found herself back in Italy on some hill. Seras had set her down and smiled, "There, you should be able to get home on foot."

Heinkel felt stunned, "W...Why did yo help me?"

Seras looked down, "Hmm?"

"Why did you help me? I killed your Master and we should be mortal enemies. Why did you help me?"

Seras blinked and then smiled, "Silly little girl,"

Seras sat down next to Heinkel and said, "Because when you're immortal and you kill vampires..."

She gazed at the sunrise, "It can be hard to find friends..."

Heinkel scoffed, "Me? A Friend?! We're supposed to be mortal enemies!"

"Fine then, "Attack me."

Heinkel grunted but she moaned as she found it hard to move even a little.

"That's what I thought," Seras said, "I just wanted to say a few things to you ok?"

Heinkel sighed, "Fine what?"

"I'm sorry."

Heinkel's eyes widened as she looked at Seras who appeared discomforted, "I'm sorry about what happened at the 9th Crusade..."

She looked down, "I'm sorry about what happened to Yumie."

Heinkel blinked and stared for a moment snd looked down, "Don't..."

Seras turned, "But I gotta say it...I know Walter betrayed us but-"

"It wasn't Walter who killed Yumie," Heinkel replied softly, "I did."

Heinkel began to tear up, "I was the one who convinced us to rebel against Anderson's orders to return to Rome. We came back to save him, but not only did we fail we lost Anderson, Yumie, and so many paladins young and old."

"You can't blame yourself..."

"NO!" Heinkel yelled, "It was my fault! We...I came back just to watch Anderson and Yumie die!" Heinkel pointed to her face, "Every time I see this fucking scar I'm reminded of my goddamn mistake!"

There was a silence between them.

"You didn't."

"Seras give-"

"You didn't kill her..."

Seras smiled, "I've lost people too...I lost Walter...I lost Integra, I lost my Master...I lost my friend Walter."

Seras bit her lip, "I'm...also sorry about Anderson...I know what it's like to loose your only parents..."

Heinkel's eyes widened looking at Seras, her face was covered by the bangs in her hair and Heinkel heard some sniffling.

"Seras?"

Seras rubbed her face and turned to Heinkel smiling, "But you didn't go back to watch them die...no..."

Seras smiled as she gazed at the sun, "You came back to say goodbye..."

Heinkel's mouth was left hanging open as Seras continued, "When my parents were killed I had no idea what was happening...but I realized sadly there are people out there who can't learn to accept their loss...but I eventually did. Why? Because I learned by watching you that if you can't accept loss you'll loose yourself. But you didn't loose yourself...you're still the same archenemy from the 9th Crusade."

Seras grinned clenching her fist, "One day we're gonna duke it out and neither of us will hold back! Got it?!"

Heinkel said nothing as she shut her mouth and thought to herself processing what Seras was telling her.

"Well...I think I better be off now. Can you stand?"

Heinkel grunted and got on her feet lightly.

"Alright...see ya!"

Before Seras charged off, "WAIT!"

She turned to see Heinkel and stopped.

"When will we see each other again?"

Seras shrugged, "I don't know..."

Heinkel nodded, "Alright then...I guess...I guess I'll see you."

Seras smiled and charged at the sun like a red lightning bolt.

Heinkel exhaled from her nose as her eyes grew heavy.

"I'll let you decide..."

Heinkel clenched the Nail of Helena in her jacket pocket.

"I'll let you decide God..."
