Order 12: Balance of Power (2)

Balance of Power (2) (バランス・オブ・パワー (2),) is the second part of Balance of Power and the final chapter of Hellsing Volume 2. It is also the twelfth chapter of the Hellsing manga.

Synopsis
Integra receives information from Enrico Maxwell, the fanatical leader of Iscariot, that confirms her suspicions of Millennium's origins.

Plot
After receiving a letter from Iscariot's leader, Enrico Maxwell; which tells Integra to meet him in a museum, Integra goes there with her butler - Walter C. Dornez, because of suspicions and such. After a talk between Walter C. Dornez about how highly suspicious this is, thinking that they may have been lured into a trap; Enrico Maxwell has finally appeared, which reliefs both Sir Integra and Walter alike. However, Maxwell, knowing that Integra will appear with some-sort of protection; brings in Renaldo, which acts like the Walter to Maxwell.

The two began a visible unfriendly conversation due to the incident with Alexander Anderson back in Badrick, which ends with Maxwell dropping his "nice-guy" attitude and finally snapped; thus calling Integra a sow, a move he'll greatly regret soon enough. Hearing Maxwell calling his master a "sow", Alucard appears behind Integra and Walter; feeling insulted. Which, he then makes a bunch of threats towards Enrico before finally aiming his Casull at the latter, which, Maxwell responds by calling Alexander Anderson himself.

However, this backfires and the two head of each organization's soon regrets their decision of calling their trump cards; because Anderson and Alucard began trying to fight eachother and two even lost control, thus Integra and Maxwell couldn't even do anything about it. Fortunately, Walter had worked with Seras to stop this from ever happening; because the two knew that Anderson might appear because of Maxwell being suspiciously very late.

Feeling that their one-on-one match had been ruined and interrupted, the two stops; and Anderson recommends Enrico to bring the kids back at the Ferdinand Luke's Orphanage here, because he thinks that it's a pretty nice museum; and Alucard going back to the Hellsing Manor to rest. Relieved, the two leaders settled to talk in the cafeteria.

The two then talks about theories about who Jan Valentine talked about, and Enrico briefly stated that they, the Vaticans possesses top-secret information about them. However, not without a condition; which, Enrico forces Integra to say "please". Enrico finally agrees to share the information and talks about the secret organisation, which led to their conclusion that to what this "Millennium" is, turns out to be one of the survivors of WW2 and former members of the late, Nazi Germany.
