Synopsis
The Walachian Army continues to spread, flooding the streets with blood and angry souls. The Nazis are still defending themselves, but all the same they haven't let go of their fight with the Vatican, continuing to fire at them. At this time, helicopters moving through London are shot down by both Tubalcain's spirit and the spirit of Rip Van Winkle. Two of the helicopters shot down are the ones carrying Maxwell, whose tektite enclosed vehicle falls to the ground. Maxwell was wounded and bleeding from the fall, but he is otherwise okay. Looking up, he sees the ghouls coming for him and panics. That panic soon turns to relief as he realizes that the mindless zombies can't get through the glass. Suddenly, a bayonet shatters the tektite, allowing the zombies to get to Maxwell. Maxwell cries out to Anderson to save him, but Anderson states that Maxwell has twisted God's Will to fit his own agendas and has become as bad as the heathens. He bids his student farewell. Maxwell is then impaled by wooden pikes and hauled up, the weight of his body pulling him further down on the pikes. He is astounded, wondering if this is what death is. He laments his fate, stating he was born alone and didn't want to die alone too. As he perishes, he offers one last prayer to Jesus before it all goes dark. Maxwell's body is later retrieved by Anderson who sits by it, reminiscing of the past. He recalls when Maxwell was brought to his orphanage. Maxwell asked why he was there and why nobody wanted him. He would declare his life would mean something and that he would become important. Anderson then states that Maxwell was foolish. He then commands the armies of the vatican to pull back. Despite protests from Heinkel, Anderson desides to stay. He says that after releasing all of the souls inside of him, Dracula is now weakened and can be killed. Anderson decides to go and kill him. Dracula kneels before Integra. He also meets with the slightly nervous Seras who he lovingly pats. Then, from above, Anderson comes down, attempting to strike him. Anderson and Dracula are primed to duel, and from the distance, The Major watches on with delight.
