14 : Holy Monster .
Then the moment disappeared.
A wave of religious papers surrounded both you and Alucard, making you both quickly pull apart. You jumped back quickly and far, as both you and Alucard looked up, only to see Anderson charge directly at Alucard. Anderson's bayonet clashed with the new Alucard's sword.
Their blades clashed as you and Seras continued to watch. Occassionally you and Seras would fight off some attackers, but usually Alucard's familiars got to it before you.
It was then that the sound of bullets were heard, that you and Seras were slightly surprised that Alucard had returned to his present form, and to his present weapon, the Jackal.
The attacks continued, Anderson's wounds healing everytime. However, Alucard was finally able to blast an arm off Anderson. Taking advantage of this, Alucard sent his familiars, Rip Van Winkle and Tubalcain Alhambra, to attack.
It was almost a big surprise that Anderson had survived such an attack, his body was covered in blood, holes were punched into him, and his left arm missing. However, Anderson only chuckled at this, and stood up before Alucard and his familiars.
"What's wrong Christian?" Alucard mocked. "How's your health? Your body's looking pretty torn up. In fact, it looks like your arms might fall off."
"Idiot." You cursed to yourself in a whisper. "He's toying with Anderson."
"Will Master kill him?" Seras asked.
"I'm unsure. There isn't much reason to kill the man, but he is in the way."
"What are you gonna do? Are you a dog? Or are you a..." Alucard continued on. "Human?"
"And what if I am, vampire? As far as I can tell my arm is still attached." Anderson answered back, biting down on his left arm, that fell limply beside him. "So quit your mindless boasting and get over here! Gimme your best shot! Hurry! Hurry!!"
Alucard was surprised by Anderson's answer, yet his expression soon fell to another calmly mocking smile.
"I love it. Humans are so..." Alucard answered, thinking of the word that best described such creatures. "Fascinating."
Anderson attacked Alucard's familiars, cutting through them like nothing using only a bayonet in his right hand, and another in his mouth. Yet it was no surprise when Anderson's arm had regenerated itself.
You continued to watch, watch as Anderson drove through those familiars,watched as an approving and admiring smile crossed Alucard's face. A face that showed he was dreaming of the past once more.
"Idiot." You almost cried out as you swinged your gun to the side, shooting at anything and everything.
"Kai." Seras said as she tried to calm you down. "You're shooting at Master's familiars."
"That idiot!" You cried out again, tears threatening to fall from your eyes. "If he so wishes it, so be it!"
"Kai, what's wrong!?" Seras asked once more in shock.
"I hate him! That... that... monster!"
"Kai what are you talking about?! Master, he... he loves you. How could you hate him?" Seras asked sadly, watching as you screamed in anger.
"He's not toying with Anderson..." You answered through gritted teeth. "He's testing him."
"Testing him?" Seras asked confused. "For what?"
"Tonight Alucard wishes to die, by the hands of a human. Cause no dog nor monster can kill a monster. Only a human can kill a monster." You answered once more, your tone angered. "That bastard only said what he said, those feelings... cause he wishes to die." You said through hated tears.
"Kai..."
The battle continued, Anderson attacking the familiars, even receiving help from those from the Vatican. Who even went as far to use explosives. You and Seras fought through the undead soldiers, them going for anything they can attack. Mindless morons.
When the area around you was cleared, you and Seras had made your way close to Alucard. You stood on the side, and watched as Alucard praised Anderson for making it through. Perhaps this was the human that could truly kill Alucard, to rid Alucard of his eternal life.
Yet you watched as Alucard's smile turned into a frown, a deep frown. One that you had never seen him carry before in the years you had seen him.
"The lingering scent of a miracle... 'Helena's Nail'."
"Helana's Nail!?" You questioned, the evidence of it right before you in Anderson's hand. You couldn't believe that such an artifact layed in the hands of the Vatican.
"Indeed it is!" Anderson answered Alucard, yelling from the distance they stood apart from.
"Don't do it! Anderson!" Alucard screamed in anger.
"Kai, what's Helena's Nail?" Seras questioned, as both you and Seras watched Alucard's anger rise at the sight of the thing.
"'Helena's Nail' refers to any 4 nails that were used in the crucifixtion of Jesus Christ. Story is that the nails were found by a woman by the name of Saint Helena. How the Vatican was even able to get such is something I don't know, for it's said that she placed each nail in a different place." You explained.
"Stop it human!" Alucard screamed. "Do not become the monster I am."
"What would 'The Nail' do?" Seras continued to questioned, the face of sadness clearly seen on Alucard's face as he faced Anderson.
"It would create a holy monster." You answered, as you watched Alucard's hopes of this human kill him, fade away. "But still a monster."
And as 'The Nail' was driven into Anderson's heart, you turned away with closed eyes.
With 'The Nail' driven into Anderson, Anderson had grown stronger. He was able to decapitate Alucard without any bayonets, and was quick enough to do it before Alucard himself attacked.
"Can humans really be so...-" Seras asked as she watched the scene in front of her.
"Stupid? Yes." You answered in a small whisper. "Yet monsters are stupid too. We are the regretted forms of such humans, the fallen forms of such stupidity."
The battle continued on, each monster decapitating each other, and then regenerating.
"Father Anderson!?" Voices screamed from the side. "Our beloved Father!?" The voices continued, causing you to shoot in the general direction.
"Shutup!" You screamed. "Your damn calls of prattle are annoying!"
"You damn bitch!" The voice screamed as they aimed their weapon at you.
"You fucking brats!" You screamed back as you attacked.
The battle raged on. Alucard vs. Anderson. Over and over they killed each other, and then stood back up. The surroundings began to burn with a holy fire, burning everything that was deemed as undead and unholy.
"Master!" You heard Seras scream, causing you to turn back to her. You followed her gaze to Alucard, to see that Anderson's holy bayonet had been driven into Alucard's skull, that holy bayonet that would kill anything undead, including Alucard. And for some reason, all the memories and emotions you shared with Alucard rushed back at you. Cause realization hit you. If Alucard were to die right now, how could you live with the fact that you yourself, never admitted that you loved him.
"Alucard!"
