Not long after Theseus got sent to the Catachan forest:

After Meredith had proclaimed that sentence with her conviction, Silence dominated the area save for the fighting down below, with Vali and Kuroh having escaped the structure's interior to battle the Demons assembled outside the Red Pyramid. Their war cries combined with the inhuman shrieks and roars filled the battleground beneath them, with the House of Life people arriving shortly afterward and joining in the fray. As a result, it looked like a goddamn warzone down below them, though nobody looked down to view it with their focus being centered on what the amber-haired woman had said.

A short moment later, and Set scoffed at that reason while thinking that it was a joke.

"Many have said that over the centuries, but not a single one of them has survived in that cursed realm. Soon my curse will overtake his divinity and he will never be the same." Set said to them, something that made Carter and Sadie worry about Theseus' fate despite him being so scary and tough. As much as those words could describe him (along with Vali and Kuroh too if one thought about it), it was a fact that he protected the Kane siblings out of his own will.

But the Hellsing did not worry about that, they knew there is nothing that can stop Theseus from being killed because, well, the word 'impossible' didn't exist in their dictionary.

"We'll find that son of a bitch and when we do, I'll give him a good punch." Meredith said with conviction which gave Set a bit of a shock… though that didn't last long before he began taunting her once more.

"You would go around different dimensions just to find your comrade? You are a bigger fool than I thought you would."

"You underestimate us, Evil days." Meredith narrowed her eyes at him. "Not even death can stop us from finding Theseus, we are the Hellsing soldiers and we do not abandon our comrades. That's simply part of our creed."

"You…...you would go that far just for one person?!" Set exclaimed, shock now written across his face.

In response, Meredith nodded her head. "He may be a monster and pain in the ass but he is a 'Hellsing' monster and OUR pain in the ass." Set stayed silent as he did not utter a word.

Eventually, Carter managed to gather his nerves before he too began to speak. "What she says! I won't abandon him! After so much of what he has done for us, I can't let him think I did not repay any favors for him!" Carter shouted to Set.

Soon enough, he was joined with Sadie too who proclaimed something similar to her brothers' words.

Unfortunately, all things must come to an end which was something the group learned the hard way when they suddenly heard the sounds of camel hooves scattered around them. Quickly glancing about, the group saw how during their conversation with the defeated/captured God of Evil, they had been surrounded by the house of life magicians who entered the Red pyramid. Each of them had gone and pointed their staffs at them with Desjardin leading them.

Said man just sneered at them, a look of contempt and disgust across his features. "Finally, you are where you are at, surrounded and close to death." He spat, raising an arm above his head. The magicians were ready to spew out spells at them as Meredith had her magic circle ready, Sadie with her avatar and Carter still holding Set.

Sensing that this would not be an easy battle, Hellsing's magician attempted to convince him by stepping forward and taking the lead in these negotiations. Although judging the manic look in the man's eyes, she had little hope of escaping this without bloodshed. "We already defeated Set Desjardin, there is no need for us to be in conflict." Meredith stated.

True to her fears, however, Desjardin scoffed with a look of ridicule on his face, the man gesturing to their surroundings once again. This allowed the group to eye the countless slain Demons in their vicinity, as well as copious amounts of slain house of life members. Fortunately for the Hellsing group, Vali and Kuroh rejoined them by the latter getting dropped off like a paratrooper jumping from a plane by the former who had carried him by beneath the arms, the two landing beside Meredith with dark glares on their faces. "Conflict hellsing? You and your entire group have brought this whole mess to us, we told you to not get involved with our faction!"

Internally, Meredith held back the urge to sigh in annoyance since that wouldn't bode well right now. This man looked to be in a rather volatile state right now, just a small spark would be all that's necessary for him to explode. "And ignore something that threatens millions of lives? Your secrets cannot be hidden anymore." Meredith still kept on trying to reason with the chief lector, trying to convince him that they weren't a threat to his people.

Apparently the guy wouldn't be deterred however, his face turning slightly red while he spat out the following words with a cobra's venom. "Our secrets are what kept us alive! We maintained this for thousands of years and have not interfered with the rest of the world and you will ruin us! Especially with the Kane siblings! They are responsible for unleashing the gods we've sealed away!"

Despite being yelled at, Meredith wondered how her companions had managed to keep themselves from intervening, even as she sensed the building bloodlust from the other guys. She still kept them at bay with her words of diplomacy though. "How is it ruining? True the gods are dangerous but even they cannot be sealed anymore, secrets are bound to reveal themselves eventually. No matter how much one tries to hide them." She tried to reason once more.

Desjardin wasn't having any of it however. "Never! The house of life will never let them be free! The gods will ruin our lives! Their powers are dangerous and meant to be sealed!" he bellowed.

Sensing that things were gradually spiraling out of control into chaos, Carter and Sadie decided that they needed to join the conversation. Thus, join it they did, with the former inciting the following words. "Then we will teach them how they can control the path of gods. It's time for the old ways to come back." She proclaimed, Carter agreeing with her in the form of nodding.

At this point, however, reason looked to have totally left the man as he maniacally bellowed the following words with a face almost purple with fury. "ENOUGH! You are drunk with power! The gods have possessed you as they always do! Soon all of you will forget you are even human!"

"Oi, I'm half-devil half-human, what's the difference between a sword and storage?" Having had enough of being silent, Vali spat his own scathing remarks towards the Egyptian man, having grown utterly sick of how he was discriminating against them all so shamelessly.

He wasn't the only one utterly sick of these people too, for Meredith shook her head in disappointment. Just by looking at him and the rest of his posse, she could tell that there was no more reason to try and convince the chief lector. He had been too far gone, and in her eyes it seemed like he had let his fear completely consume him, leaving him a lost cause which required only one method of dispatching to solve this problem.

Though it didn't seem like they would be the ones doing the dispatching, Meredith soon realized. She realized this in the form of her briefly widening her eyes upon sensing a familiar presence, one which invoked a sense of pity for the man and his forces surrounding them. It hadn't made a move yet, probably was waiting for her to do something on orders of a certain bossy Hellsing leader. Whelp, no helping it now, so Meredith simply dropped the bomb for these people. "If there is no reasoning peacefully with you, then may God have mercy upon you." She raised her head as the shadow covered her face and her eyes glowed.

"Alucard, it's time to reveal yourself."

The moment she spoke those words, the ENTIRETY of the house of life went into full-blown panic mode, as they frantically gazed left and right fearing for their lives. The name that they dreaded so much, possibly more so than even the Gods themselves, had just been uttered which could only mean one thing… and it was not something they wanted to look forward to.

Carter and Sadie felt the chills from not only themself but the gods inside of them as well. Including Set as well for he knew ALL too well who the no-life king was.

"He's here, Carter be careful." Horus warned Carter as he went pale, pale at the revelation that he was going to meet Hellsing's trump card.

"Sadie, whatever you do, don't antagonize him." Isis warned Sadie as well. She also became pale with fear.

Desjardin looked pale too, but unlike his men who looked to be one step away from trying to flee, he quickly shook it off. He then raised his staff to point it at Meredith, an action which caused Vali and Kuroh to tense up, before he spat the following words with saliva flying every time he said a word. "D-don't try to scare us girl! That monster isn't here to save all of yo-"

"Not here you say mortal? You magicians are always so blind with your pride."

Before the man could finish, a cold, dark and malice-filled voice echoed around them, one that made Desjardin stop and literally white as a sheet of paper.

Following this, a deep, dark chuckle filled with twisted malice emanated throughout the atmosphere while bats began to descend from the skies above like some kind of twisted mockery of heaven's angels, rapidly multiplying in number with glowing red eyes and sharp fangs. The sight of these made the magicians scramble around like headless chickens, any form of formation or unity now leaving them while the bats flew around them, some even making a dome around the Hellsing group.

Soon a figure slowly emerged, walking through the bat dome and the bats began to fly away. There stood Alucard, the no-life king as he looked amused and sadistic, proof being his smile that stretched across his face. "Well-well, the Egyptians have finally made their appearance. It's a wonder how long they have hidden from our eyes." he mused, his voice somewhat melancholic like an old man reminiscing about days long past. His gaze then shot forth towards the Egyptian god Set, who remained stiff on the spot thanks to being both still bound as well as paralyzed in fear, so were Carter, Sadie and Zia. They look like they were experiencing a horror movie but only in real life. "What's this? You have been fighting a god without me, children? Hah! It seems you've improved your strength more effectively than I expected you to." Alucard praised them before.

SCHWING!

"GUUAAHH!"

Stabbing Set on the stomach with one hand. "But next time, try to improve your skills if you want to defeat a god easily." Set turned to dust, disappearing like a dessert. Carter and Sadie couldn't believe their eyes on how easily Alucard had killed Set, it took almost all of their strength to defeat the red lord and yet he did it in an instant.

It seemed that their companions were right: he DID deserve to be feared as the no-life king.

"Alas this puny god is gone for now, I know for certain they cannot be killed that easily." he mused with a fake sense of sadness, though to the onlookers it was more of a mock.

Yet among them, Meredith simply approached Alucard from behind as he wiped the desert's sand off his coat, her footsteps alerting him to her presence. He looked towards her before shifting his gaze across the group. That group consisted of Carter, Sadie and Zia who stiffened up at the sight of him. "Hmmmm where is the shark boy? He is not here with the rest of you." Alucard asked them where his protege was.

"We'll tell you later Alucard but right now we need to deal with this." Meredith ordered Alucard as he stared at her before nodding with a smile on his face.

"As you wish, Elizabeth's granddaughter."

Meredith turns to the house of life. "This is your last chance Desjardin, let us go and you won't be into bloody pieces." Meredith calmly said to the chief lector, hoping he would go for the peaceful way.

But alas, the future corpse chose the alternative. "N-NEVER! Our secret must be kept hidden even with our lives! You don't scare me Hellsing!"

Meredith closed her eyes in disappointment at them, it seemed that these guys were rather paranoid as fuck. To the point where reason would be lost on them, even. "If that is your final answer, so be it then." After saying this, shadows covered her face as her eyes began to glow. She then glanced towards the red coat-wearing Vampire, her tone much like that of Sir Integra's in the following sentence. "Alucard, leave none of them alive. Destroy this place including the demons here. Make them know why we are called the bloodiest faction in the world!" She ordered Alucard, much like his actual master would.

If one would be wondering why Alucard would be following Meredith's orders, well, it's simple: Sir Integra had given him the order to listen to her whenever she was on a mission and needed his assistance. It helped that he himself approved of her after watching her develop from her roots.

In response, his face was covered in darkness, his red eyes glowed and his smile appeared like he was going to enjoy the incoming bloodshed. "As you wish, Elizabeth's granddaughter." he whispered, lowering his head in a bow while putting his hat on his chest.

The moment he said that Vali got the chills, already knowing what would be coming. Knowing that the Kane siblings and Zia would NOT want to see what was about to happen, he glanced at them with the following words leaving his mouth as he grabbed Amos like a sack of potatoes. "I think it's best for all of us to leave now, you won't like what Alucard is going to do."

"B-but what about my dad?!" Sadie asked them.

"That Casket was destroyed the moment Set was being pushed back by Theseus, now we must go or else you will be scarred for life!" Vali shouted at Sadie as she was about to let tears out of her eyes, though she didn't get the chance to.

The reason? Her brother, Carter, had grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her like a ragdoll to bring her attention back to reality. "Come on Sadie! Or else he might turn his attention to us!" Carter yelled at her which made her shake her head and nod at her brother.

That done, she, Carter and Zia turned into their bird forms (though Zia's resembled a strange kind of flying creature) as they hurried away from the Pyramid. Vali who had his Divine Dividing out carrying Amos like a sack of potatoes, Kuroh who flew with his Gravity magic, Kuroka with her Devil Wings as well as carrying Meredith like a princess, followed behind them.

Moments into their retreat...

"AHHHHH!"

"MONSTER!

"GODS PLEASE HELP US!"

"NOT LIKE THIS!

"NO PLEASE!"

They heard the screams of the people who were being slaughtered by Alucard, mixed in with some mad laughter from the Vampire King.

While they fled, the Kanes got tempted to look back and see the destruction that Alucard was dishing out, but Kuroh put a stop to that when he yelled at them from behind the three birds. "Don't look back! Ignore it!" he said to them, they listened to Kuroh, no matter how much the screams tempt them.

If they were to look back, they would see Alucard in his level one form as shadows were everywhere, impaling the magicians, the demons, the hound of Baskerville feasting on their flesh and limbs flying around. One could call it a literal bloodbath that roared across the Temple's surroundings as Alucard feasted on their flesh and souls... Just like what Meredith said to them.

May God have mercy upon their souls, for that would be what they would really need.


Timeskip

"So, Theseus has been sent to another dimension? One in which we don't know which one it is?" Integra questioned calmly, her hands held together in front of her face. On the outside one could say she looked rather calm… but if they were to tell the inside of her she would be shown as rather angry at this revelation, including Alucard.

The Hellsing group (including a nervous Zia and Kane siblings) had returned from their mission at long last, returning home to the Hellsing mansion. They had managed to get away from the Red Pyramid after Alucard had finished his carnage. Once they had retreated a safe enough distance from the slaughter, something which those from Hellsing had enough experience to judge such a thing, Meredith had conjured a magic circle teleporting them to London, the Hellsing manor to be more specific.

They had then reported straight to Integra's office so they could explain the situation to her on what had happened back at the red pyramid. Yet while Meredith did so, the reactions of the rest of the group who hadn't been there were well…

Let's just say less than pleasant.

Kuroh, Vali looked furious that their comrade was sent to an unknown world, one which they didn't know the slightest things about how to get to so they could rescue Theseus' sorry ass. While Kuroh hid his feelings well, the same could not be said for Vali who gripped his fists in anger, plus his teeth were gnashed together with enough force to have shattered human teeth while his eyes had been on the verge of glowing with his demonic power.

Meredith nodded at her mentor, sitting cross legged on a chair in front of her desk. "Yes, sir Integra. The egyptian god Set has sent him somewhere we cannot find yet. It will take us days, weeks, months, or years to find him." she reported, managing to keep her tone level and calm… save for the way her hands gripped one another on her lap.

Integra pulled out a cigarette and lit it up before exhaling smoke and closed her eyes. "I see, then we will need the required help of the Pendragon family." she finally admitted, glancing down at her desk.

Carter heard the name Pendragon and thus, couldn't help but to ask her about the meaning behind her words. "Uhhhh the Pendragon? You mean the one who pulled Excalibur out from the stone, King Arthur or was it Caliburn?" Integra looked at Carter stiffened from the stern woman's stare.

After a couple seconds though, she nodded her head at his words before explaining the situation to the newcomers. "For a regular citizen and yet talented magician training, you know history rather well, young man." Carter blushed in embarrassment at the compliment. "And yes, they do possess a holy sword Caliburn in their possession but the Excalibur has been broken into seven pieces. Try to learn more about the moonlight world boy."

"Th-thank you and I will Ms Hellsing."

Sir Integra put her cigarette at the ash box, stopping the cigarette from lighting. "Call me Sir Integra next time boy." Carter nods his head at her. Sir Integra turns her head to the Kane siblings. "And the situation about the Egyptian gods revealed that they were sealed rather than fading from ashes. You said that you would teach the others on the path of gods you say? Tell me, how do you intend to do that all on your own without any support?" she questioned the Kane siblings which made them drop their head in thought.

She did rather have a valid point about their goal. Without support, combined with them being targeted by the house of life, their ideal of teaching about the Gods would be a hard goal. There was even the matter of other beings from the supernatural would target them whether it would be a monster or a god. They were about to give up and yet stopped when they pondered the strong conviction of the Hellsing, how deep their loyalty was.

They wanted to make the impossible possible, so Sadie brought her head up with a determined face. "I know it would be hard for us to teach others about the path of gods. We were just introduced into this new type of life we were hidden from and we would have died many times if not for them. We need to relearn the old ways because the late chief lector Iskander told me that he was wrong in sealing the gods. We need the gods because without them we would forever be weak and pathetic. If it takes my entire life to achieve this goal then so be it, I will not walk away from this path nor will I run away from it." She said with a strong voice to sir Integra,

Carter put his hand on Sadies hand and showed it to them, proving just with those actions that he would also follow his sister's goal, to which even Zia showcased her support by standing beside her.

On her side of things. Sir Integra closed her eyes at them which made them very nervous before she opened them. "A strong conviction and goal you have in mind girl, I respect that. But the Egpytian gods are powerful and cannot go unsupervised, there have been many instances which have left grave results on the world because of such things." she explained, sternly to which the Hellsing group thought of the various mythologies which involved divine actions amongst the humans. Mostly the Greeks with the Trojan War, but still. "But you are both greenhorns to this side of the world, so I propose an alternative."

The Kanes and Zia were confused about what she meant by that before listening to her proposal. "We shall form an alliance with each other, having the godlings around can be proven to be rather difficult to handle and an expert in egyptian knowledge could benefit us. What say you, Kanes?"

Carter, Sadie and Zia began thinking on Sir Integra's proposal before they came to an agreement as they nodded their heads before facing her. "We accept sir Integra." Carter replied, putting his hand forward for a handshake which she accepted, marking an alliance with each other.

Now that the alliance had been sealed, Integra decided to bring up the issue of lodgings. "Now that's settled, would you like to stay here for a bit or would you leave?" she questioned them.

"Well we would but the brooklyn house, our home is destroyed. We don't want to leave it hanging. It's our home where we belong, after all." Carter answered sir Integra as she nods her head at his explanation.

"Very well, I won't stop you. You may leave." Now that they had this to deal with, the Kanes and Zia got up from their seat and bowed to her respectfully.

They were about to head out the office room had Carter not had one last question. "One more thing I want to ask. Can you actually find Theseus if we don't know where he is?" he questioned nervously, knowing this to be a particularly sensitive topic especially with how fresh this wound was. He could imagine everyone going crazy at the mention of their missing comrade, since he had seen just how close everyone seemed to be despite their antics.

The Hellsing leader did not answer that question for a while, but soon enough she leaned forward with her hands in front of her. "We do not know how long it will take us to find our shark, the odds are quite stacked against us. But one thing for sure, he is a Hellsing soldier for his strength is valuable for us." she replied firmly, getting agreeing nods from the rest of the group. Much to her intrigue, she noticed that the boys had a much greater 'blaze' to them regarding their actions compared to Meredith. It didn't seem to her like she felt anything less about Theseus, but those two… well, she guessed it made sense, considering the nature of their bond.

Unaware of her thoughts, Carter nodded his head at her before leaving.


Timeskip Two months

Kuroh was in a training center where the dummies stood, scattered around him as he stayed still for the moment before clicking his sword which glinted in the light reflected off its blade's surface.

WOOSH!

WOOSH!

WOOSH!

BOOM!

In that one moment, a bunch of invisible slashes appeared across them, slashes that destroyed the dummys around him making a mess. Remaining kneeled down for a moment, Kuro kept his head hung low before standing up, sneering at the destruction around him. "Still not enough, I need more speed." he said before going stomping on a dummy's head into pieces.

It had been 2 months since the Red Pyramid incident, and Kuroh figured much had changed since then. Some political stuff, some stuff about the Egyptian faction, but right now he couldn't give much of a damn to remember it all. In fact, he had more pressing matters which took up the majority of his focus these last few months, that being his nonstop training with his gravity magic, though things were not working out that well for him. There was something that he was missing, something he's not getting. He wasn't sure what it was, but every time he felt like he was getting closer to that answer, it slipped away from his grasp in a maddening manner.

To him, the incident had shown him an undeniable fact: that being that Kuroh needed to get stronger but not by going down the 'easy' path where he would get a strong artifact to boost his strength, that would be a disgrace for him to go for that goal, he has his pride of becoming stronger by his own strength which included the rest of his group as well. Even Alucard got strong in his own ways.(Other than absorbing the souls of the victim and blood)

If it weren't for his lack of strength, perhaps he could have reinforced Theseus in time to stop that damned Set from sending him away from them. This fact coupled with his own fury had caused him to enter this training marathon, but the only thing was, that there wasn't much he could do to find Theseus OTHER than train, which took time. A fact which wasn't something he felt all that thrilled about. Thus, Kuroh needed to find a way to surpass his limits or else he would remain a weak little boy… just like he had been back then, become the strongest samurai there was, and find….. Theseus.

'You asshole… you better be alive when we find you, you hear…?' Kuroh muttered, gritting his teeth. All the while, the mental image of his comrade started bringing back… memories. Memories which had a profound impact on the man.


Flashback

Kuroh and Theseus were standing in the midst of what looked like a medieval room, but everywhere they could see had bloodstains varying in size. Why? Simple, because there were literally limbs everywhere, including the remains of countless corpses that looked like they had been butchered up by a vicious animal, turning the majority of the room red.

Both males stood, watching their surroundings and surveying without much of a reaction. As to why they had arrived here, they had a mission to find the missing people from a beach nearby, a beach which had been reporting a number of disappearances that commonly happened through the night. The local guards had tried to investigate themselves, but that just added to the disappearances, to the point where the beach's staff had decided to risk calling Hellsing and inform them about the situation.

It took a while until they found the culprits or better known as the cultists of Cthulhu.

...Needless to say Theseus went full ballista on the Cultists the moment they found them which explained the mess he made similar to Alucard whenever he hunted for vampires.

"Woah man, what just got over me?" Theseus questioned Kuroh as he put a hand on his head while looking around the mess he created… though he looked fairly unfazed by it including Kuroh.

The samurai boy stood silent at his question.

"Welp, maybe I must've spent too long with Alucard. He's starting to get over me. I think I need to sleep with my sharks for a few days, that can work." The blonde male mused thoughtfully, scratching his chin thoughtfully.

Literal fact: he does actually sleep with his sharks. It's his hobby which was both interesting and creepy at the same time.

Theseus shook his head and put his hand up, he commanded all the blood into one big blood ball before throwing it away at the far beach where the blood will wash off and conjured multiple sharks to get rid of the evidence of the supernatural world as they feed upon the dead bodies of the cultists. "Come on Kuroh, let's head back to Hellsing before Sir Integra will notice that we're late." Theseus said to Kuroh as he walked out of the medieval building. Just as he began walking, he noticed that Kuroh was not following him due to the lack of footsteps aside from his own, which made him turn his head back to his companion. This let him see that Kuroh remained in the same position, almost as if locked in a trance. He walks to him while trying to speak with him. "Kuroh, let's go already. Haven't you noticed what I said to yo-"

"Is it worth it?" he suddenly asked Theseus, making him jump a bit before tilting his head slightly in a confused state.

Not only that, but he swore that Kuroh had said something else just then, but he wasn't sure. If he had Vali's demonic hearing however, maybe he could have picked it up without having to hack the following question, but alas he didn't. "Wha? What was that Kuroh? I didn't get that."

"Is getting revenge on the people who ruined my life worth it?" Kuroh asked him with a clear sentence, finally glancing back towards him with a conflicted expression on his face.

At this, Theseus grew silent as he gazed forth at Kuroh, prompting the samurai-esque male to sigh. The samurai expected him to answer that getting revenge was not the answer, just like what other people would say about it since they would say it's not worth it. To them, they would say that revenge didn't serve any purpose and that it would just lead to a vicious repeating cycle, thus claiming it as pointless. They would denounce revenge anywhere it presented itself without question, seeing themselves as paragons of virtue and goodness.

Just as he was about to confirm his thoughts...

"...fuck yeah, it is."

"…...what?" However, the shark male before him caught him off guard when he gave his answer, one unlike what Kuroh had been expecting of him. Did he hear that right? Did he say revenge WAS worth it?

Kuroh suddenly went silent before he asked Theseus what he meant by that, he looked at Theseus as the shark boy looked at the sideways. "Revenge IS necessary, for without some kind of closure someone wouldn't be able to move on from their trauma. People and movies who say that revenge is pointless don't know shit about people, and thus are pathetic." he shook his head at the negative thoughts, but he wasn't finished just yet. All the while, he didn't notice how Kuroh had now fully turned to look at him, keeping his gaze focused on his fellow male. "In the DC and marvel movies, they always talk about forgiveness and second chances. But what about the people's lives who were ruined by the villains? Joker, Lex Luthor, and all those. Their not being realistic in their lives, they only cared about their reputation and fame instead of facing reality. If they did face reality then they wouldn't be a bunch of cowards. Plus, let's be real people who say revenge is pointless either don't have the guts to do anything themselves or haven't experienced the desire to do so either, making their points invalid. Historically revenge has always been a part of any living being, humans do it more so. Look at the assault on Pearl Harbor during WW2 for example." Theseus spat fervently.

At this point, Kuroh looked like a deer caught in some headlights with how shocked he looked. His eyes were wider than dinner plates while it didn't seem like he had any control over his jaw anymore, with how open it had fallen. This… wasn't how he had expected this to go, when he and Theseus had slaughtered these cultists Kuroh had thought about his vengeance, something which he'd pondered at great lengths many a time, before asking for his companion's opinion when everything had been all said and done. He didn't expect Theseus to literally flip his expectations on his head like this, so he felt like he had been swept off his feet thanks to this guy.

None of this was made known to the ranting blonde male however, for he simply directed his gaze back to his partner, pocketing his hands inside his coat. "Let me tell you this Kuroh, do not let anyone get in your way of vengeance because they would be stopping you on your life goal, what you have been working hard for, to achieve the pleasure of killing the people who ruined your life." After he said all that to Kuroh he turned around and walked out of the building, leaving his companion behind to ponder his words.

Within the building, a stunned Kuroh looked at Theseus' retreating figure, putting a hand to his chin as he began to process the information Theseues gave him. 'Closure… huh…?' The male mused to himself. What he said made a lot of sense to him, he had this goal for a long time and was close to achieving it, he just needed to find the rest of those bastards. He wanted to have the pleasure of killing those cultists who took everything from him and everything he had in his life, like what Theseus said.

Suffice it to say he would not let anyone get in his way of revenge.

He then walked out of the medieval room as the light shone on the window as the moonlight gazed upon it. His face was covered in the shadows as he walked but his eyes glowed in the dark with his strong determination. If anyone or anything got in his way of revenge….. Then he'll consider them an enemy to him.


Flashback end

Blinking a few times, Kuroh returned to reality and found himself back inside the desecrated training room. 'In the end, there was one other thing he said too… back then when I had caught up with him but I didn't hear it due to being so focused on my thoughts of revenge…' Kuroh thought to himself, though through some vague memories he could recall the movements of his companions lips which allowed him to guess what Theseus had said. Those words made a small smirk form on his face, before the memories revolved around the pyramid returned and Kuroh scowled once more.

With what Theseus said, he promised himself to find that bastard and when he did, he'll give him a good punch.


Timeskip 2 months… again

Within the Hellsing mansion, one Seras Victoria was deep within her vampire training regime, though there wasn't much progress being made on that regard. The main highlight for this was that she still didn't drink any blood, mostly because she didn't want to lose her humanity if she drank blood. Though she had been told multiple times, even knew it herself deep down, that she had already lost it when she became a vampire. Despite this, she had been getting better with it but still not improving her vampire skills.

"Haaah… little progress again, huh…?"

A sad sigh escaped her lips while Seras walked through the underground halls of Hellsing, passing through each room. She passed by Kuroh's, Theseus, Meredith's, Kuroka(Nya! Get me out of here now! I need to be with Vali right now!) passing quickly her room ignoring her screams, and finally Vali-.

BOOM!

Yelping, Seras stopped in her tracks when she heard a loud booming sound all of a sudden. Just from her vampire hearing, she managed to pinpoint its source to be coming from the white dragon emperor's room before noticing that the bricks were ahead and something strong pushed them out of their places.

"Dammit, still not enough!" An angry shout was heard from his room, one that Seras could tell who it belonged to. To her, it seemed that ever since the disappearance of Theseus things had been way too tense around here in Hellsing, she never knew how valuable Theseus was to the Hellsing, it was like he was Alucard but on a much smaller scale. She can't help but to feel curiosity on the behaviour of one of Hellsing's: Vali, and why he loved fighting so much.

So, with an amount of courage and took a deep breath and entered his room.

When she entered Vali's room it looked to be one with a 25x25 space to it's name. The room's design around him looked rather normal... only with white and blue everywhere, the carpet had a gwiber dragon design, a blue couch that had a dragon on it, a couple of wood shelves with a design of blue flames on it with the paintings hanging looking to have old medieval dragons on them.

So far it looks like a bit of an awesome room, but it's a bit little… What was the word that the Japanese would say?

"Ridiculous, weird or chuunibyou police girl?" Vali answered her mental question as he looked to be calm for the moment. This could change at any moment though, as she had both heard and seen from them. She even had a front row seat to one of his bigger tantrums caused by Kuroh that Alucard himself had to intervene.

Knowing this, Seras laughed nervously and put a hand behind her head. "Hahaha well… I wouldn't call that Vali, it's not like-"

"Don't try to convince me, police girl I already know what you are trying to do. So it's best to not try to go further than that." he interrupted her as he walked through his room before getting something from his white dragon fridge and pulled a water bottle. He walks to the couch and sits on it.

"Ok Vali, but couldn't you…...you know change your room design?" she tried to put the words together while not trying to make him mad.

At this, he looked at her with his pupil facing her. "You think I haven't tried, police girl? It's not that simple and part of my punishment."

Seras became confused on the part of his punishment, the reason why his room was like this. "Your… punishment?" she asked him before sitting on a normal chair beside a table, Vali put his hand on his head remembering what he did at the time.

"When I was young I was a bit…...chuunibyou as you can say, Lucifer bloodline and stuff like that." he waved his hand around while gesturing towards his room. Seras nodded her head at this, allowing him to continue. "Because of this, and a few other things, I may have gotten into more trouble with comrades than necessary, but that would have been fine if a bit annoying for my superiors. Not enough to warrant punishing me like this. But well, let's just say that I pranked the wrong person out of vengeance, and she punished me dearly. There's a reason why she has a certain Vampire King under her thumb."

Upon hearing this, Seras hummed thoughtfully at the vague explanation she got from the silver haired hybrid, putting a finger to her lips. Now why did she find his words to be both vague yet familiar at the same time? From what she could tell, there were only a few people who could fit the description that he had provided her, one of them being… oh. It suddenly clicked in her mind who Vali had been talking about, and any thoughts revolving around other possible candidates quickly vanished from her mine while Seras quickly lost all color on her face. "Y-You mean…?" she whispered in shock.

Vali looked away from her while refusing to answer that question she had stuttered out, but in her eyes that may as well have been a direct admission to his 'crime'. From what she could tell, Vali usually only associated with his fellow guys Theseus and Kuroh when out on missions, or within the Manor itself. Very rarely did he talk to other agents in the field, the same being said for the aforementioned guys, meaning that him getting into scuffles would imply that those same guys were usually the ones pulled into those stunts. Thinking about it that way, it made way too much sense and Seras slowly figured out the bigger picture.

Odds were, Vali had been incentivised to pull a prank on one of the guys, between Theseus and Kuroh Seras wasn't sure on since it seemed like the two were on a similar level to him, but in reality she guessed it didn't really matter who. Especially when she considered the end result of him having pranked the wrong person, likely sir integra hellsing herself, and had gotten a… pretty drastic punishment as a result. 'How the heck did he not get punished worse?' Seras wondered to herself, shuddering at the image of a furious Integra having Alucard dish out some spankings on the poor Vali.

Poor guy never would have stood a chance.

Pretty soon, an awkward silence dominated the room whilst the two had light beads of sweat roll down their foreheads, likely reminiscing similar topics at hand.

Eventually though, Vali rubbed the back of his head with a low growl escaping him, effectively crushing that silence between his fangs. "Anyways, enough with that shit. If you haven't gotten anything to do here, then get the fuck out. I gotta train so we can bring that bastard back for a good spanking." Vali sneered, standing up and walking to one of the few training posts that remained standing. Obviously he didn't seem all that talkative right now and just wanted to train in his solitude all day long, much like what he had been doing previously… only Seras noticed that there was a much greater intensity to him than before.

She had an idea as to why that was though, but she didn't think that voicing it would be a good idea. "You're worried about Theseus, aren't you?"

CRACK!

Apparently her body didn't want to listen to her instincts which SCREAMED at her not to say anything, because before she could stop herself Seras had already voiced her thoughts out loud, and considering the half Devil's superhuman hearing he was able to quickly pick up on it. ESPECIALLY the way he just cracked the floor beneath his feet via an abrupt energy burst that accompanied him stiffening.

Slowly, Vali then glanced behind him so he could gaze like an animal towards Seras who internally kept cursing up a storm at herself for her big mouth. "...What did you say…?" he questioned slowly, his voice laced with thick emotion that made Seras want to consider bolting it out of there as fast as her body could allow her. The only reason why she remained idle right now was due to her knowing that running would be futile, for Vali was currently much faster than her so running would be an exercise in futility.

"U-ummmm I… I…." Seras tried to find the words without stuttering or shivering, but the glare of Vali giving her rendered her efforts moot.

"Spit it out already police girl or else I'll make it."

"Th-th-th-th-that you care about Theseus!?" Under threat of being possibly neutered by the silver haired male, Seras stammered with a pale face and her entire body shivering in utter terror and nervousness. She also had her hands held up and shaking in front of her face in a placating manner.

On his side of things, Vali looked like he was about to give her a pummel of beating towards her, much to her horror. Sure she could regenerate, but the pain never felt good and she was no masochist, an example of this being when Alexander had pierced her multiple times and she could feel it.

But to her luck Vali just slumped down and put a hand on his face. "You are right on one thing, I'll give you that police girl, but I'm not worried about that asshole!" he pointed his finger at her. "He is 4 months late in our spars!"

"O-o-ookay! Got it!" she nods furiously at him, not wanting Vali to aim any demonic power blasts at her. She had seen videos and logs showcasing the destruction the guy left in his wake. Then she had another question in mind on her head for Vali to try to get a better understanding of his nature. "You know, I've been meaning to ask, why do you like fighting so much if you don't mind me asking?"

Vali was silent for a few minutes as Seras thought she had hit a sensitive subject to him, much like before to which she wanted to rip out her tongue to silence herself (although that would likely be fruitless considering her healing ability) but, again to her relief, he began to speak instead of turn her to sashimi. "The reason why I love fighting is because of the thrill it gives me. Kinda like a pleasure of something one never got to experience like if they fought a God, monster, demon or even a human they felt something exciting inside of them." internally sensing that he wasn't explaining it right, Vali put his hand on his chest for a gesture. "It's kinda like who you are and the passion you have been looking for a long time. You've seen how Alucard is whenever he tries to fight with anyone haven't you?" he asked her.

At this, Seras put her hand on her chin to recall the time she was with her master, to which an image appeared on her mind of Alucard laughing at the Dandyman in brazil. It was an image which brought her no small amount of shivers, several chills racing down her spine. "(SHIVER)! Yes I did, but the way he's giving out is….to creepy." she explained, shuddering.

Vali hummed before speaking in a dry voice. "Watch it or else Alucard might hear you from anywhere."

"EEP!" she squeaked in fear while looking everywhere for the sign of her master appearing anytime but didn't see him, something which made her sigh in relief.

"But yeah, he can be….creepy in your words, for me it will be a lifetime gift to fight him." he said with a bloodthirsty smile before it disappeared with a frown. "But that is just one of the things I like, the other is…" Much to her confusion, Seras tilted her head when an uncomfortable look formed on his face, as if he were about to admit something he really didn't want to. However, he did so anyways, and when she heard his following words her confusion only grew. "….. Spending time with those two idiots."

"Huh? Two idiots? You mean Theseus and Kuroh? I thought you guys hated each other and always plotted behind their backs?" she asked him.

This just made a laugh of amusement escape the silver haired battle maniac. "Hah! Maybe, its kinda funny, annoying, and stupid but there is one thing we do, and that's the fact we consider a lot of things disgusting or vile, which makes it easier for us to get on I guess. Plus, there is one thing we do and that's keeping the secrets we don't want to reveal, like our pasts for example, unless it's time to reveal it like so. Then when it happens, the others are like 'where do you need us?', we don't mince things and we cut to the chase. Really refreshing if you ask me." Vali explained, though he didn't think he was doing the 'unique' bond they had justice.

Seras meanwhile, looked quite stunned at Vali's explanation, her mind straining to grasp this concept of a 'friendship' between these guys. Was it a universal thing, or were guys generally like this with each other? As an only child with hardly any contact with guys aside from her father growing up, Seras wasn't sure. "Wow, but can you call that friendship? Or was it to just annoy or fight them?"

"eh, a little in between you can say police girl. Personally I like to compare myself better than that butler boy since he's too fancy."

"I know you said something about me Vali and it's not good! Are you planning to spend all of hellsing's money on spices again?!" Kuroh yelled from the walls as if he sensed that Vali had said something about him.

The white dragon emperor showed his reflexes to be just as great as his speed in the following moments though. "Why don't you suck a fat dick and play around with those fancy tools you have in your briefcase?!" Vali shouted back to Kuroh, who didn't dignify him with a response.

Seras had a drop of sweat behind her head and looked very weirded out by this.

Afterwards, Vali turned his head back to the fledgeling vampire with the most normal look one could ever see on a person, like this was just an everyday thing for him. "See what I mean, police girl?"

"YYYyyeeeeeeaaahhhhh I think I get the concept of it." she said before returning her face to normal. "But have you guys ever…. Did something together other than….insulting each other, fighting, or something like that?"

That question made Vali go into silent mode again, and this time he slowly put his hands together interlocking them while his face got covered in shadow, looking like he didn't have any expression on his face. However, if anyone were to get a clear few of it, then they would see that he had a tear within his left eye while the male in question reminisced about something which WASN'T fighting… yet just as invigorating for him.


Flashback

"Ahhh, dammit all! First that damn vampire said he was the strongest because he was a hundred years old, then the fucker went down like two hits!" one seriously annoyed Vali complained as he walked through the underground hall of Hellsing, looking like he wanted to blow something sky high just to view the spectacle.

The reason why he seemed to be in a rather cranky mood was because Sir Integra had assigned him a mission that required only him, since it was only one vampire who was a century old and had lost its sunlight weakness. Of course, Vali had initially been thrilled about this and went to find him at an old church where he resided.

Being a battle maniac, he had of course jumped straight into battle with his balance breaker expecting to have a good fight... but only defeated him with one divide and two hits. That made his mood very furious that in truth he was only weak.

Though there was one other reason why he had been cranky today, more than usual after such a letdown.

"(SIGH) well maybe some nice, spicy ghost pepper sauce with Chalupas taco will help me." Vali muttered with a frustrated sigh escaping his lips, hoping for a nice meal of spicy mexican food to tie him over, since mexican food is about spicy and delicious (REAL FACT: it is technically true that they celebrated a holiday called Cinco de Mayo. They celebrated it and ate delicious spicy food.), all that Vali needed was to get his wallet from his room and head to a mexican restaurant.

While he was walking down a corridor in the Hellsing manor, he passed by a couple of guys chatting excitedly to one another. Now normally this wouldn't be something Vali would ever acknowledge unless they actively tried starting something with him (something which many in the organisation considered as taboo as messing with Alucard), but the contents of their conversation quickly caught his attention and made him stiffen.

"Yo ted, you headed over to carl's house tonight? It's his birthday and we're all gonna be wasted."

"Sure am, sam. Guy's known to bring the booze during occasions like this, plus it helps that his wife encourages the 'bois nights' we have. She's a cool lady, Carl's a lucky bastard IMO."

"Heh, true."

Unaware of the reaction they got out of Vali, the two guards continued on their way until they turned a corner, moving out of sight. However, the same could not be said for the male who stood there bathed in the light from the windows outside the corridor with his head hanging low so his face couldn;t be seen. His teeth gnashed together and his fists clenched tightly.

'Damnit… fucking shit… why the HELL did this have to happen NOW of all times…?'

Thoughts like this circulated through the already irritated Vali's mind, resulting in a thin layer of demonic power emitting from his body. It looked like he had become a literal human powder keg waiting to erupt at the slightest provocation, something which the word 'birthday' came REAL close to invoking from him.

Birthday…

It was his Birthday today…

Maybe that was why his luck had been so shitty. It had been that way since the moment he was born after all, combining the abuse his father dealt to him thanks to his grandfather all his life, the abuse he dealt to his mother and finally Vali's helplessness to stop it… yeah, one could see why he despised his birthdays. His mother would have tried to celebrate it with him whenever the day arrived, but that would have triggered his father's rage even more so she couldn't… though she'd sneak a few discreet messages to him on this day just in case. She may as well have been the only person who had truly given a damn about his birthday, but other than her he didn't expect ANYONE to give a damn. It'd just be like all the others since the day he fled, empty and unremarkable.

Just like how he had viewed the world before truly embracing his inner love of battle.

Vali HATED his birthday, he hated it for a variety of reasons. One of them being what he'd described just now, but another was due to the way it impacted his mother's life, the pain it must have caused her to give birth to a bastard like him. To him, his birthday was a source of nothing but loneliness, pain, hatred and frustration, hardly ANYTHING like what normal kids would consider it as. There wasn't anything good about it to him, especially after he had fled since, once that had happened, he had stopped celebrating it himself although Albion had made a note to keep track so they didn't forget how old he was for some reason.

For a moment, Vali stewed in his fury in the empty corridor, till he took a few deep breaths and calmed himself forcibly, reining in his demonic power. It wouldn't do to get all worked up for nothing here, maybe he could find a place to train after that spicy hot meal so he could work this frustration off, that may help improve his mood.

Thus, Vali proceeded to head off to his room to retrieve his wallet.

Arriving at the front of his room's entrance moments later, Vali huffed as he reached for the doorknob. Immediately however, he noticed something off, and that was that the knob wasn't locked. He remembered locking it this morning which quickly got his defensive nerves aup. 'If this is a prank from Kuroh or Theseus I swear…' the male thought irritably, thinking those two must have been up to something. However, since he wouldn't gain anything from just being out here, Vali slowly opened the door and entered his room.

Instantly, he could see how it was pitch dark within his room, with next to nothing to see. Vali easily tracked down the light switch before turning on his room's light, allowing him to see...

"It's about time you got here."

Something that stunned him so much that he literally FROZE.

The reason why he stopped like a statue? Simple, Theseus and Kuroh were in the middle of his room, but with a little surprise sitting on a table between them:

A big hot pot beef porridge.

"What….. The fuck is this?" Once he found his voice again, a stunned Vali asked them as he got out of his trance and narrowed his eyes at them. "Is this some kind of prank because if it is then I will make sure the toilets don't flush properly again." he stated through clenched teeth, his eyes flashing with demonic power.

Kuroh suddenly remembered that time when he went to the bathroom when all of a sudden the toilet exploded on his face. He had to endure the humiliation of the guards laughing at his drenched face for an entire day afterwards. "Wait, that was you?!" He yelled, pointing his finger at him.

Just as they were about to do their daily arguing, they got stopped when Theseus got in between them and stopped them. He did so by stepping between them and throwing his arms towards their chests, keeping them apart from one another. "Oi let's not ruin this day any further you two, and Kuroh you can get him back AFTER this little event." the Shark king stated, glancing to the side towards the samurai.

These words DID catch Vali's attention though, so with a bit more of an edge to his voice he pressed the matter which was quickly starting to grate on his nerves. "Wait, event? What the hell are you talking about Theseus?"

Glancing back at the silver haired male, Theseus lowered his arms and pocketed them inside his jacket. "It's rather simple, the day of your birthday." he stated like it was the most obvious thing on the planet.

"?!"

Needless to say, it wasn't so obvious for the white dragon emperor. Vali froze at his words as he was silent before he spoke again with a calmer voice. "Why is this happening?"

Seeing his reaction and how he had asked barely above a whisper, Theseus's expression didn't change one bit as he delivered words that would change the silver haired boy's perspective forever. "Even though birthdays aren't my thing or important, it was the day that you were born. I can consider this day as a blessing, why? Because it doesn't matter how annoying you can be, to me I couldn't have been more glad to meet you on that day." he stated, his gaze firm and bearing into Vali's own so that his words struck with greater force. Plus, Vali knew him for much longer than Kuroh so he knew for a FACT that he never was one who danced around issues. It was because of him that they usually cut to the chase when on group missions.

That just made his words all the more impactful.

Vali again stayed silent as his face shadowed without any expression to show, to which Theseus and Kuroh remained silent as they stared at him to see how their companion would react. After a short silence, he gripped his fists hard and muttered the following words in a quiet voice. "You fucking assholes…. You…. Really are a pair of bastards." while saying this, Vali let out a small tear that ran down his face with a small smile on his lips.

"Alright let's get this over with." Theseus pulled out a small box from his jacket's pocket, and gave it to Vali who looked at it with shock, shock that these two had even got him presents. He had heard that this was something done on normal birthdays, but never experienced it himself. "Never was one for giving presents, but this is an exception."

Unaware of the white dragon emperor's thoughts, Kuroh looked at Theseus with a raised eyebrow. "I thought it would be first the cake and then the present." He said to him

Theseus looked at Kuroh. "Does it look like I would follow traditions? Besides, this is not a cake anyway so it doesn't count."

"Of course it does you idiot! Even a big surprise like this counts like a cake!"

"Just shut up and give it to him." Theseus simply said to Kuroh as he put a hand on his nose before shaking his head, Theseus was always one complicated son of a gun. Vali took Theseus small gift and opened it before seeing it was a pendant.

"A pendant?"

"Open it."

Vali did so and pressed the button of the pendant only to gasp in surprise, the reason why was because it had a picture of his mother on it. "Wah?! How did you-"

Theseus took this chance to interrupt him, shrugging his shoulders as if what he was about today was no big deal. "I did some small research of the information about your mother. The M16 was hard to convince but it was worth it. I went to that small hut you used to live in, your mother was not there but I did some small digging before finding this picture. I bought this pendant and put the picture on it, marking this my own gift to you."

Vali did not respond as he looked down at his mothers picture which had a smile on it, the one he used to see every time, the one he always cherished and… the reason why he had to run away.

Yet Theseus wasn't done literally bringing life into Vali's world just yet, his lips slightly upturning briefly before they returned to his usual flat line. "If you're wondering where your mother is, she is safe though free of the supernatural world." His tone then turned deeper while his eyes slightly narrowed. "The M16 did find her but I left it alone, I know you do not wish to have her brought back into the world so I left her alone, but if you wa-"

Finally, Vali got the chance to repay the bastard for interrupting him earlier, cutting him off from saying what he would have said if he hadn't done so. "Don't, I think it's better enough to not have her involved again. If she's happy… then leave her alone." Right now, a fresh new wave of emotions were circling within his gut, emotions which Vali wasn't sure he wanted them to see though he bet they could see them through his gaze regardless. "It's already good for me to hear she's fine, that's all I need."

Theseus stayed silent at the moment with his revelation before shrugging. "Suit yourself, but a word of advice. Try to meet with her whenever you have the chance or that if you have one." Theseus said before sitting down on the chair and leaning back on it as if didn't care about it on the outside. But on the inside, he was glad to see that one of Vali's relatives managed to escape from that path. Vali's mother was living in a good life where she was safe, happy and most importantly still ALIVE.

The same could NOT be said for his own mother, hence another reason why Theseus had given that advice.

Seeing that Theseus had done his part in bringing light to Vali's life, Kuroh decided to do his part and approached Vali before giving him five boxes… all the while looking like he was about to regret it. "I am going to regret this for my entire life, but here."

Vali narrowed his eyes at Kuroh suspiciously, wondering what he was on about, before carefully removing the covers to wind up seeing the most unfamiliar boxes he had ever seen. The moment he opened the box, he saw what looked to be a jar, one filled to the brim with some kind of pepper from what he could tell.

Just as he was going to ask if this was a prank Kuroh spoke before him."This is the Carolina Reaper, the world's spiciest pepper there is, what's more interesting is that this little devil contains six hundred jalapenos spices. Imagine multiple Carolina Reapers carrying them if you eat those devils." he pulled his collar while grimacing, he had just taken one bit of this and instantly he was around like a wild squirrel screaming for water and milk.

"They are the hottest pepper there is in the world? Liar." Vali said to Kuroh, not believing him on that claim.

In response, he pulled out his phone, tapping some stuff before showing it to Vali for proof. Which so happened to be the goddess Skadi tasting this before the area around her turned to smoke as her head turned bright red. "See this? Goddess Skadi took only one of these and instantly made her hot, the coldest goddess into a flaming woman. Is this proof enough?"

Vali went wide-eyed at this proof, even Albion within him was a bit speechless about this pepper. "Holy shit, you're not pulling my leg Kuroh?"

"Of course I'm not, if I was then you wouldn't get this pepper which I'm already starting to regret just by thinking of it. But for this day I'll endure it since I also count this day as a blessing."

Vali looked at the pendant and the pepper boxes in his hands. He did not utter any words, ANYTHING at all before having a wide, pure smile.

This was a beautiful day for him, the day of his birthday, the day he was born. The day that was the reason why he was able to meet Kuroh and Theseus, and…. The covenant of bromanship between them was born.

"Oh yeah, wanna spar after this Vali? I got Integra's permission to use a training ground for the evening, so after we eat we can burn those calories. Oh yeah, and sate that itch you got from that dumbass Vampire." Theseus suggested after a few moments of silence, a small grin of bloodlust forming on his lips.

He wasn't the only one ready for such a thing, for Kuroh had his Katana suddenly materialize on his lap with a matching smile.

The thought of fighting these two in a brotherly spar after EVERYTHING pretty much wiped any traces of sadness from Vali's being for the moment, as an equally bloodthirsty grin formed on his face. "Hah, you're on!"


Flashback end

After remembering that day, he wiped his eyes clear of tears before he went and looked at the fledgling Vampire. "It was a long time ago, but yeah we did." he stated, having been lost in one of the quite possibly best memories he had ever gotten in this hellish life. He hadn't told her a damn thing about the whole birthday thing, he didn't feel the need to. It felt too much like perverting something sacred, something between just the three of them.

"I see, I should probably go. It's nighttime and I'm already feeling tired." Seras yawned as she stretched her arms.

This earned the blonde former police officer a blank stare from the white dragon emperor. "You're a vampire, you don't need to sleep." Vali deadpanned at her which she pouted at him.

"Don't ruin it for me!"

"Uh huh, like I care police girl, now get out of here or else you'll be my training dummy." Vali said as he had his energy ready for action.

Something which made Seras quickly jump from her seat, utter panic written all over her face. "I think I heard the Master calling me! Bye!" she yelled, before she went and dashed through the door leaving a dust cloud behind in her wake from the speed she had left at.

As it disappeared before him, Vali stared at the spot which Seras had stood, before taking something out of his clothes. Uncurling his hand, his eyes laid their gaze upon his pendant, the very same one from his birthday which he had kept on his person at all times. As he stared at it, a smile appeared on his face. "Just you wait, Theseus. One day I'll repay this favor to you someday, just wait. Even you Kuroh."


Timeskip 2 months = 6 months in total since Theseus vanished

After many months of waiting, the time had finally come to navigate the dimensional gap where everywhere looked to be an endless void, where in every direction, there was a mix of iridescent colors, kind of like looking at a kaleidoscope. Floating on a light circle that had a dome-shaped barrier over it, one that covered them from the dimensional gap's energy, happened to be the gang of Hellsing: Kuroh, Vali, Meredith, and Kuroka.

They weren't the only ones navigating through the Dimensional gap however. A new addition to the group was present with them: a bespectacled young man with blond hair with a strand of hair across his face and has glasses, who is usually dressed in a business suit. This would be Arthur Pendragon, one of the main members of the pendragon family and wielder of Caliburn which he was using now to cover them from the nothingness of the dimensional gap.

To explain why he was here, the Hellsing organization had contacted and requested the Pendragon family to allow them use Arthur to find their missing member, but in exchange for that huge request the Pendragons would allow them to have Arthur if they could manage to combine all of excalibur pieces into one which was their longtime goal, to wield the original blade of King Arthur the once and promised king. Once the deal had been made, Arthur had been given to them and he used Caliburn to cut a hole through space to let them enter the dimensional gap.

Hence, why they were currently in their present position.

Though considering that they had members who were both impatient and always ready to do something, standing around doing nothing would naturally quickly run their patience dry. Proof of which being how an annoyed sound escaped Vali's lips while he pocketed his hands inside his pants. "Guuuhhh, how long does it take to find that bastard?" Vali complained as he looked bored and annoyed.

"Patience Vali, it's the key to everything if you wait for a while." Kuroh said as he looked around the dimensional gap looking and sensing where Theseus would be located. His energy wasn't very hard to miss thanks to that unnatural divinity he possessed.

Vali meanwhile grew increasingly pissed off at the Samurai's level-headedness, seeing it more like contempt than anything else which his draconian instincts refused to allow. "You have been saying that for two fucking weeks now maid fetish!" Vali angrily said to Kuroh.

Kuroh didn't rise to the bait however, seeing that their mission was far more important than their childish squabbling… even if he did clench his fists at the maid fetish bit. "So what? the more we be patient, the better the chances that we'll find him."

"If it were that simple we wouldn't have had to spend two weeks looking for him in millions of dimensions here!" Vali gestured to the kaleidoscope everywhere. "It would take us until we are elderly! I rather fight than waste my time here!"

"So you would miss the chance to meet with Theseus just because you love to fight?"

"YES, BUTLER BOY! I WOULD GO AND FIGHT THE DRAGON OVER THERE NOW!"

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Kuroh jumped to Vali before he could take any steps off the platform, grabbing him by hooking his arms beneath the silver haired male's shoulders. Much as Vali struggled to break free, Kuroh refused to let that happen. "You'll get us killed because of your bloodlust! Do you even know what that dragon is?!" He pointed at the majestic great red dragon that was currently ignoring them in favor of flying around.

"Yes I do! It's the great red so what?"

"SO WHAT?! THAT DRAGON WILL KILL US ALL JUST BY LOOKING AT US!" Kuroh furiously yelled straight into Vali's face, words which pretty much fell into deaf ears while the two boys glared at one another.

Over on their side of things, the females of Hellsing each had exasperated expressions on their faces whilst not doing much to stop the two boys. They had already gotten rather used to this as they looked plainly at them while Kuroka was cheering for Vali.

Meanwhile, Meredith sensed something familiar as her eyes shot wide before getting Arthurs attention to go to that direction where she sensed Theseus' divinity. As the platform turned to hover forth in this direction, she glanced forth and looked towards the troubled duo as she tried to get their attention.

"Kuroh, Vali, we found-"

"IT'S BETTER THAN TO JUST WAIT FOR ANOTHER MONTH!"

"Vali-"

"FOR ONCE JUST FOR ONCE KEEP YOUR BATTLE TENDENCY IN CHECK THAN TO JUST BEING AN IDIOT!"

"Kuroh-"

"WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE ASSHOLE?! THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!'

"NOTHING WRONG?! THAT'S IT I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU, I'LL JUST-"

"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT THE FUCK UP?!"

BONK!

BONK!

""OW!""

Finally, like a powder keg finally erupting, Meredith had it with their screaming and bonked their heads with enough force to send them crumbling to the ground, her fist smoking with an utterly furious expression right now. Her brow constantly twitched with multiple veins and tick marks over her forehead all the while Kuroh and Vali shut up and put hands on their heads to nurse the bomp. Her fists were also literally STEAMING from how hard she had hit, with Kuroka whistling in amazement.

'Wow, Mrs prim and proper actually used curse words here… remind me not to get on her bad side…' the Nekoshou thought to herself, shuddering at the angry fiery aura she could feel from the woman trained by Integra herself.

Once the two boys had their gazes trained on her, Meredith stood before them with her arms crossed under her chest and her legs spread apart. She took a big breath and exhaled, getting her out of her rage. "Now that I've got your attention, we found Theseus' location." She said to them which rendered them silent for a moment.

"..."

"... don't even think about it bastard." Vali mumbled to Kuroh who he knew for a FACT that he had been about to remark to him, the proof was his smug smirk almost aimed at him.

Ignoring these looks, Meredith continued to speak. "But we don't know if this dimension is safe or not, chances are we have to keep our guard." she said to them which they nodded at her before standing up.

They were close to a green colored which Arthur put his sword up and slashed it, entering the dimension as they jumped to it. When they landed, they saw that they were in some kind of forest like the safari in any kind of forest or jungle. But they know that it's not natural because they can feel the danger around them.

Kuroka was shivering wildly. "N-n-n-n-nya! I-I-I don't like this p-p-p-place nya! The energy around here feels like a beast den!" she said to them feeling the senjutsu around her which made her feel scared right now. She didn't get why herself, but she had NEVER felt something like this in her lifetime. Back home, nature did have a sense of the earth goddess's hatred to it, born from the abuse it had suffered from humans, it was why the use of Senjutsu had been considered so dangerous in the first place. However, all the hatred she had felt from nature back home whenever she used her Senjutsu powers, it goddamn PALED in comparison to the savagery she could feel from this place.

To her, it felt like EVERYTHING around her had their sights locked on her, bloodlust prevalent and nothing but the desire to end her life in various brutal, malicious ways.

"I agree, let's first find that shark boy and get out of here." Vali said to them, having his divine dividing out, ready for action as the group took out their weapons and spells ready for action.

Even as unnerved as he was also, judging by the mild sweat rolling down his forehead, Arthur began to speak. "If the worst comes to serve, we need to retreat the moment when it becomes too dangerous." Arthur explained to them if the situation became dire, they agreed with him and walked through the danger of the forest. As they walked they felt like something was watching them like stalking but can't find the person or thing, the plants looked unnatural as if they were alive. They even got the shivers of just looking at one tree.

"What the fuck is this dimension?" Vali cursed as he avoided the tree as if it was dangling to him. He didn't know why but he had a feeling that it was bad, in fact every cell in his body kept telling him to get the fuck out of this place. None of his usual battle maniac instincts were telling him their usual stuff, heck he could even feel Albion's dismay about this place.

"I don't know Vali, but we need to stay together or else we might actually not make it here," Kuroh said as he narrowed his eyes and carefully took a step as he had his katana slightly out and looked around.

However just before they would do anything they heard a shake nearby that brought them to an edge.

"What was that?" Vali asked as he looked around, looking for the culprit of the shaking noise.

"I don't know but something's coming. Quickly, get together!" Kuroh bellowed, the group quickly forming a circle with their backs pressed together as they looked around in their direction.

"It's getting close, I can feel it." Meredith said with a sweat on her forehead as she prepared to unleash her sacred gear alphecca tyrant. The noise was getting closer and closer at the moment.

"Get ready everyone! It's about to come here!" Kuroh said as he unsheathed his katana and had his gravity magic ready to be used. However just as they were about to get into a fight Vali heard something with his devil enhanced hearing.

"Wait hold on, I'm hearing something. Is that…."

From the skies above them, a figure sharply descended down towards them rapidly. So rapidly in fact, that they couldn't tell the figure's shape. One thing they COULD tell though, was when it slammed straight into Vali like a bullet.

"Took your sweet time, didn't you bastard?" And there he was: their target Thesues who had drop-kicked at Vali who had raised his right forearm in reflex, blocking the kick.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! IS THIS HOW YOU GREET US AFTER GOING MISSING FOR SIX MONTHS!?" Vali screamed at Theseus with rage as he jumped back and landed a few feet away from them.

Dusting himself off after this landing, Theseus summoned his Trident and stabbed its tip into the ground beside him, further confirming his identity. "Technically speaking, yes. What kept you? You guys made me wait for half a year now." he questioned, and although some of the girls had questions about his current choice of attire, that took a backseat for the time being.

Especially in the minds of two certain male warriors.

"Kept us?" Kuroh had his eyebrow twitching right now and was close to erupting. "We spent six months, six whole MONTHS trying to find you in millions of dimensions. We couldn't find you in any of them, and when we finally tracked you down, you had the decency to say that we made you wait for many months?"

"Hmmmm, yes I do. There is another thing called the Du'at you could've used that would've been much easier." Theseus replied easily like this was no big deal..

"FORGET ABOUT THE DU'AT! THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU! I'M GONNA BREAK ALL YOUR BONES FOR MAKING US USE SIX MONTHS OF OUR TIME JUST TO LOOK FOR YOUR SORRY ASS!" Vali yelled at him before jumping to Theseus making a dust ball showing fist and legs kicking around the dust ball, even Kuroh lost his calm and joined in the fight.

Eventually the girls and Arthur sweat dropped at the sight like a pair of adults who just looked at something weird.

On her side, Meredith groaned into a gloved hand that she had placed on her face, shaking her head. She did not have time for this and was about to approach them to stop the fight, but then she noticed something. Something which resulted in her watching them for a few moments before turning around and walking back to Kuroka and Arthur.

"Why didn't you stop the fight Nya? Not that I'm complaining, since it's obvious that Vali's going to win." Kuroka asked Meredith who remained silent for a few seconds, the sounds of fighting echoing behind her, before finally a small smile spread across her face.

"I was about to stop them before I saw their expressions, look." Meredith replied, raising her left hand and gesturing behind her with her thumb. Curious as to what she meant, Kuroka and Arthur looked closely before seeing the three sporting shit eating grins on their faces despite currently beating the ever loving shit out of each other and they figured it out.

The two boys were happy to see Theseus, reuniting themselves again, their friendship had never been broken and they had finally regained their covenant.

The true bros covenant.


AN

Hunter here, welcome to a new chap. Best part for me were the moments of true bromance between Vali, Kuroh and Theseus. In DxD we always see waifus clouding around self insert oc or other versions of Issei Hyoudou, it's like they don't know the true value of having good bros behind them. Plus we get to see what certain characters are like as well as some basic comedy moments. Probably not the best, but whatevs. Anyways, hope you liked it, and look forward to the next one.

PEACE OUT!

Finally, the bros have been reunited and it looks like they have got a bit stronger!... my name is Darklord, bringing you another chapter of the series! Like what Hunter said we always see the MC always go for the waifu and chase the ladies but where are the manly moments? Where is the time they've made friends with a guy and stick around with each other? Like Naruto or bleach where they had the awesome moments of their badasses? So we decided to make this little chapter and the results are in! True bros stick to each other's no matter what. Alright thanks for reading our chapter, be sure to leave a review if you want and I'll see you next time!

GOOD LUCK!
