I don't own Hellsing, and I'm not making any money from this.

As explosions rocked the ground itself and fence posts came to life to strike at them, the Nazi's retreated back. Pip stared at the pieces of bodies on the ground outside, and looked over at Syn and Edmund in astonishment.

"Your magic did zhat?"

"I told you there was a damn good reason for doing it." Ed said, then he glanced back out the windows. "I don't like them skulking out there..."

The redhead nodded. The vampires outside were huddling up at the treeline just beyond Hellsing's perimeter. It looked like they were trying to come up with a plan. She didn't like the thought of them thinking about how to get around the seal.

"I think we should move back." she commented after a moment's thought. "If they get you guys under another illusion, one of you might let them in."

Bernadette looked offended. "None of my men would do zhat..."

"I'm not saying they would want to." Syn interrupted. "But something out there had every last one of you screaming like babies at something that wasn't real. If they can do that, then it's possible they could convince you to do something stupid that will let them get inside."

He studied her a moment, then nodded. "Alright. We move..."

One of the windows that was still closed shattered, and one of the Nazi vampires leapt inside. Everyone was so stunned, there was no time to react before it grabbed one of the Geese and ripped him apart. Seras surged forward and thrust her hand through it's chest, making it crumble to dust.

"What the bloody hell!" she exclaimed, pointing back outside. "They're coming across!"

Syn and Edmund flew to the windows to look. Sure enough, the soldiers were somehow getting across the grounds without bursting to flames. Some of them were taken out by the fence, but they were still able to get over. It took them a moment to realize what they were doing.

"They're not touching the ground." Ed whispered.

There were small things sticking out of the ground that made it possible for them to run across. Flied knives, Syn recognized after a moment. They had thrown out hundreds of field knives in the few seconds they had been talking. And the house itself didn't seem to be reacting to them. Holy shit.

"Vampires will be zhe offence, and we'll be zhe defence." Pip called out quickly. He started making quick arm motions at his men. "We move upztairs. Move move!"

The humans ran through the hallways to get to the staircases while Alucard and Seras stayed behind to handle the monsters pouring in through the windows. But there were so damn many of the bastards that some got past them. The men fired at them while scuttling up the stairs backwards. Ed blew a large hole through the heads of two of them, then grabbed Syn's arm as they made it to the top.

"Look!" he shouted.

Syn ducked and pulled him behind a corner with her, then peered back to see what he was talking about. While the vampires on the first floor seemed to be moving without any obstructions, the ones that had made it onto the staircase were having more trouble. The steps seemed to melt under their feet – like mouths opening up to swallow their legs. Those that used their fellows as stepping stones to get up to the second floor itself were snatched up by the walls, or pulled into rooms that looked like they were actually moving around – like a maze with changing walls. If the seals on the stairs and the second floor were reacting to the presence of an enemy, then why the hell wasn't the first floor doing anything? Ed tugged on her arm to get her to go with him to follow the soldiers, but Syn pulled back.

Hey Alucard? How many of those things are still outside? She asked him quickly.

She got mental eyeful of him ripping through dozens of them and blowing holes through the chests of the ones he couldn't reach. Hundreds. He sent back.

She thought about that for only a second. Hundreds of the bastards and literally hundreds of entrances they could use to get inside. Can you keep them off of me?

There was a noticeable pause in the vampire's thinking. You had better have a plan. If you get yourself killed, I'll drag your ass out of hell and kill you again.

Something's wrong with the seal on the first floor. She told him, ignoring his threat. If you can keep most of them off me, I can bless the windows and doors so they can't get in.

She could feel the wheels in Alucard's mind turning. With the number of times he had seen her fight and actually stepped back to let her do it on her own with no assistance, it was a bit surprising he was actually concerned for her safety this time.

Come down from the south side, and work your way forward. He told her after a moment.

She nodded in understanding, then glanced at her cousin. "You go with them. I'm going back downstairs."

"Are you fucking insane!" he hissed at her, still trying to pull her down the hall. "You'll get yourself killed down there!"

"The seal down there isn't doing anything to stop them, and if someone doesn't do something, they'll be able to get in from all sides!" she said, jerking her arm out of his grip. "They're coming in from the North. I can block the rest of the entrances so they can't surround us."

Ed blinked at her. "Damn it, if you're going, I'm coming with you."

"No!" she exclaimed. "If something happened to you, Integra would kill me. You go with the men. They'll need you if something happens. I'll have Alucard watching my back, and I can call him if I have trouble. Besides, I can't worry about you getting caught in an illusion. You'd just slow me down."

He looked upset by the whole idea, but he saw that she wasn't going to budge. With the vampires still coming up the staircase and finding ways to get further and further down the halls, they couldn't stay where they were for very long. He blew out a breath of air, then looked at her seriously

"Don't die." he told her.

That was all he said before rising from the crouch he was in to bolt in the direction the mercenaries had gone. Syn watched him go, then remained in her low position until she saw an opening large enough for her to get through. She lifted the battle rifle then ran across the open space in front of the steps, firing sideways to keep the Nazis closest to her from getting a clear shot. The redhead made it to the other side safely, then scuttled down the hall to find the staircase on the south side of the house.

With all the bombs dropping, all of London was in a state of pure chaos. The people who had been on the roads when the attack began abandoned their cars in an attempt to find some kind of shelter. Masses of men, women, and children were running down the sidewalks, desperately trying to find any undamaged buildings where they might take refuge. The vehicles left behind made it extraordinarily difficult to navigate the streets. Walter was driving at top speed, swerving wildly to keep from hitting any of them as they tried to get through the city as quickly as possible.

From the backseat, Integra was fiddling with an old CB radio. It was normally used to keep track of various military transmissions during Hellsing's missions, but now she was searching for any indication that someone, somewhere, was responding to the hell that had broken out around them. There were no vehicles or response teams from any branch of the military out and about. The knight feared that everything had been infiltrated like the Naval base had been.

Her fingers paused when a familiar voice poured forth from a channel that was full of static. It was broken up and difficult to hear, but she made out enough to understand what was being said. Sir Pentwood and his men had apparently gotten their radios to transmit.

"I don't know if anyone out there can hear this." the elder knights voice said, sounding hoarse and strained, like he was struggling with his speech. "But if you can, this is the Head Admiral of the Royal Navy. Our forces have been decimated. I'm the only one left. If you can hear me, I have only one order. Stand firm and fight them. Fighting is all we have left. Fight until your last breath, and when you go down, take as many of the bastards with you as you can."

Integra heard a banging sound, and loud, angry voices, as if someone had just broken into the room. Sir Pentwood, still close enough to the transmitter to hear, let out a wet cough.

"I hope you're happy with what you get here." he said. "It's the last thing you'll receive from me."

The loud boom of an explosion sounded over the channel, then everything went silent. It appeared that Sir Pentwood had followed his own orders. The lady knight took a shaky breath and inclined her head out of respectful remembrance, then glanced up as something at of the corner of her eye caught her attention. A small group of police officers had built a circular barricade around themselves in the middle of one of the side streets, and were attempting to fight off the monsters that were coming at them from all sides. It was futile without silver bullets. The vampires took every hit and kept coming out them. She watched as the helpless men were ripped apart. Integra pulled out Cromwell and began snapping on the extensions to convert it into a rifle.

"Stop the car, Walter."

Her butler glanced at her in the rear view mirror, then obeyed the order. The car skidded to a halt, and the knight lowered her window. The monsters were too busy feasting on the remains of the men they had just killed to take notice. She rested her arm on the edge of the door to keep it steady, then took her aim. Each of the six bastards were picked off one by one with a single shot to the head. When they all collapsed into mounds of ash, Integra looked over the fallen humans. There were probably dozens of such men – holding out and fighting back as best they could. Having no hope of survival because of a lack in appropriate resources. There was no way to avenge them all, but these men she had seen. She could avenge them, if no one else.

"You did your duty well, gentlemen." she said quietly. "Rest in peace."

She was just about to order Walter to resume driving, when he opened his door and stepped out onto the street.

"Walter?" she questioned. "What are you doing!"

He didn't respond. His gaze was focused on something in the distance. She opened her door and stood to see what it was. Everything was too bathed in shadow for her to make out anything other than a tall figure. Walter's position suddenly became defensive and he threw out his wires. But rather than slicing through anything, the figure simply shot out his arm and caught them in his fingers. The butler's eyes narrowed and holding his wires taught, he glanced back at Integra.

"Take the car and drive as fast as you can." he told her.

The knight blinked at him. He wanted her to go on without him?

"I'm not leaving you." she said resolutely.

Walter looked back at the figure that was still keeping a grip on his wires. It seemed as though he was patiently waiting for something.

"Sir Integra, I can no longer ensure your safety." he said. "Take the car and go. Let me handle this."

Integra studied the man who had been there with her all her life. Though she rationally knew it was possible, it was still difficult for her to imagine that there was something he couldn't do. She closed her door and stepped forward toward the front of the car to get into the driver's seat.

"Walter, you come back to me alive." she told him. "By whatever means necessary. That's an order."

The man who had always been her staunch guardian and protector glanced at her over his shoulder and smiled. "Of course, sir."

The knight gave him a small nod, then did something she never thought she would ever have to do. She got into the car, shifted gears to turn it around, then drove off, leaving him there on his own.

She left one of her own behind. And when she could no longer see him in the rear-view mirror, her heart grew heavy.
