"It is Hellsing day, the day when the mighty Hellsing killed the one and only king of Vampires. But he sadly died in battle.-'' Charles let out a small growl. He hated Hellsing. It was the one day of the year his birthday was happening. Only close family friends and family attended because of the Hellsing parade. He shut off the tv. A smashed his head into the pillow.
"What about him? He's been dead for almost 18 years. Yet I can't get the day to myself!" Charles yelled into his pillow clearly mad. He is like a teenager his age. Filled with hate and regrets. He then lifted his head and stood. Hearing knocking on the door.
"Charles?" A voice rang in the room. It was of Seris the other would never be up this early. He slowly opened the door.
"What?" He asked with a flat tone. At a young age he has learned to calm and never show his true face.
"Sparing only you and me." He said with a small smile. It has been a few months, almost the end of the year. As they entered the door they took their positions as I sat on the bench. They both charged at each other.
"How are you still so much stronger?" Charles asked ducting under a punch. Grabbing his wrist and fling him over his shoulder.
"Good." Seris said rolling is gaining distance. He was on the edge of the ring. Charles charged with a punch. Seris redirects the punch to the wall. The wall cracked and started to crumble. Charles took a stomach, sending him flying. Landing on the ground with a loud thud.
"Damn." Charles muttered. Feeling the pain of the kick. But Charles rolled out of the way. Seris stomped on the ground. Caused the ground below him to be destroyed.
"You have gotten better." Seris said with a smile. Charles and the others had learned that Seris didn't even count them as a threat.
"Yeah not enough to make you draw your weapon." Charles said his voice was deadly serious. Charles had taken to hand to hand combat to try and beat him at his own game. But it was useless.
"Really I have more experience than you, it will come with time." Seris said with a small smile. He was always humble about his skills and power.
"You are a monster." Charles said with a smile. Both of them are monsters. They both charged at each other trading a flurry of blows. Charles hit Seris shoulder. But got hit in his stomach and chest. Charles took one step back. He was starting to get overwhelmed. Landed a few more hits on Seris but it seemed not to affect him. Landing a good uppercut on Charles, sending him off the ground.
"Still needs work." Seris said before punching him crashing into the wall. Charles slowly dusted himself off. Before ducting under a kick. The kick created a line in the wall.
"Close call." Charles said, kicking at the balancing leg. Seris jumped back. Both of them seemed to be enjoying their fight. Charles charged and punched. Charles over extended his arm. Seris grabbed his wrist and flung him over his shoulder. Smashing him into the ground with explosive force. Causing a small dust cloud to form. Seris jumped out of the dust cloud. Charles then charged at him again.
"You have gotten so much better. Then before." Seris complemented. Before appearing in front of him grabbed his face and then. Down into the ground. Shattered the ground below them. "Yet you are still so far behind me." His voice had a genuine expression of love in his voice. Charles wrapped both of his legs around his arm.
"At least I will cause some serious damage." Charles muttered. His voice was muffled because of his hand on his face.
"You are welcome to try." Seris said with a smile on his face. Lifting his arm which had hold of Charles' head. Then he was thrown into one of the walls.
"Damn you're really a monster." Charles said as he threw up some fluids. Seris smile only seemed to grow.
"Both are abnormal, everyone is yet we act that is not good. When we all are abnormal." Seris spoke with a voice of confidence and pride. It took a moment before Charles truly heard the words he spoke.
"You make a good point." Charles said as he stood up with a smile on his face. Once again he charged at Seris. He ducted under Charles' kick. Seris kicked Charles' pivot leg knocking him off balance making him fall on his face.
"Really? You need to become more creative." Seris said, taking a few steps away. He once again ducted under the kick. "What does becoming more creative mean?" Seris asked if his voice was annoyed at him.
"What does becoming more creative even mean?" Charles asked Seris. How shrugged at his question.
"Not for me to tell you." Seris said. His voice was annoyed at Charles inpatient. Charles has been a ball of chaos.
"Stop being cryptic and tell me what to do!" Charles yelled charging at Seris. Who was easily able to dodge his attacks. Seris was able to trip him, making him land on the ground. Charles jumped back up. Trying to punch Seris yet he was able to grab his punch. Then kneeing Charles in the chest. Then followed up with a punch knocking him to the side.
"If you don't see the problem then you're not getting it." Seris said, dusting himself off. Charles' eyes grew angrier as he started to radiate a silver aura. Seris kicked him hard in the chest causing the aura around him to disappear. "Really it won't work if you keep relying on that crutch." Seris said his voice had disappointment in his voice.
"But it's my talent." Charles said, looking at Seris in shock. A talent something one in every ten people are people are born with. Allows them to do something deemed abnormal like Demi humans if not something you show off. But it was not a talent because it was held by his father. A talent is a mutation in the genes for only one generation.
"It's still a crutch and your body is not ready for it yet. When you're ready to use that power then I will teach you." Seris voice was deadly serious. He was not joking around.
"Yeah fine." Charles said with a frown on his face.
"Good, let's get back to training." Seris then smiled as he kicked Charles across the room. Crashing into another room. Charles quickly dodged the stomp. The wall took heavy damage despite being Reinforced with Hyper Carbon. Seris appeared behind Charles. Charles automatically ducts to dodge the kick. He learned that move was Seris signature attack. "Wow you got better. But you need to try and use everything you have to use your creativity." Seris said.
"Thanks, I still have no clue what you mean by that." Charles said with a small frown. He went for a kick but Seris blocked. Grabbing his ankle and slamming him into the ground.
"You will learn one day." Seris said as he kneed Charles' chin, sending him up in the air. Charles managed to block the following punch. He landed on his feet with a smile.
"You got predictable." Charles mocked. The next moment. He was on his back.
"Really?" Seris asked with a smile. His foot on Charles' throat. Then Charles was kicked across the room. "Even if I am predictable it is useless if you can't dodge." Seris told him. The smile never left his face.
"Duelly noted." Charles said as he slowly got back up. Rubbing his neck. Dodging a punch from Seris. A small scratch appeared on Charles cheek. Ruby red blood ran down his cheek like a waterfall. Charles wiped the blood off it had sealed shut.
"Let your durability be your best asset but you lack speed." Seris said. Charles nodded. It was his weakest thing as his body took a beating everyday due to training but his strength and speed were lagging behind.
"Power is doing good. My physical strength is easy to train but how am I going to train speed?" Charles asked.
"Running and jumping stuff that deals with your legs." Seris suggested looking at Charles as he got back into stance.
"Okay." Charles said with a small smile. Blocking a light punch from Seris. But it was faint as he got kicked in the stomach. Charles' eyes widened by a fraction.
"Wow you need to dodge more." Seris chastised hitting Charles in the stomach several times. Causing fluid to burst out of Charles mouth. Then slamming Charles against the wall.
"Arrgh." Charles said, coughing out fluids. The fluid dripped out of mouth running down his chin. Then Charles was punched in the stomach. Charles' breathing was ragged.
"Take a breather." Seris said with a small smile. Throwing a bottle of water at his feet. "Drink up." Charles slowly grabbed the bottle. He gulped down the water.
"Damn, the water is not going to disappear." I said landing on his shoulders.
"Yeah you're not the one that got the stuffing beaten out of." Charles retorted with a grunt. Snarling at me.
"Sorry." I muttered as he stopped snarling at me. Going back down to water drinking.
"It's okay, the training has been a nightmare." Charles said tried as Seris was also drinking water.
"Yeah tell me about it, I was watching you being beaten to a bloody pulp." I said looking at him. "Remember the dinner is tonight at your father's house." I said this Seris crushed his metal water bottle.
"Let's get back to training." Seris said as he crackled his knuckles. I flew and landed on the bench. Charles' punch was blocked. He punched Charles' chest hard. Knocking him back.
"Damn you feel like a Jack hammer." Charles stated. Respect in his voice. Seris was a celebrity to him. A man with strength surpassing him the only ones able to beat him down where his father now is, this family friend.
"You could probably stab straight through a person's body." Seris said with a smile. Appearing behind Charles. Charles ducted but Seris went for an axe kick. The ground around Charles' feet cracked. Then causing spider web-like cracks to form.
"Damn it." Charles muttered under his breath. Snarling at his bad luck.
"Your predictable got you into this." Seris scolded. Charles' knee started to buckle under the power of the kick. Concrete under Charles crack even more. He sunk into the floor by about an inch. Seris axe kick vs Charles cross guard. Sweat ran down Charles face. Then there was a huge explosion of dust. The building shook. As the dust fell. Showing Charles unharmed. Seris axe kick landed right next to Charles. Charles was smiling.
"How is that for creativity?" Charles asked with pride in his voice.
"Good but." He said but what? He then kicked Charles across the room. "Don't let your guard down." Seris spoke with seriousness all over his face. Charles got back up.
"That's a cheap shot." Charles said, clearly mad. As Seris shrugged.
"Anything goes in battle." Seris said, looking at him with a small smile. Charles got up and dusted himself off. As Charles charged at Seris once again.
"It's still unfair that I am not allowed to use that odd power." Charles complained his eyes were filled with fury.
"Okay try it." Seris said it shrugging. Charles started to glow with a silver aura. Then Charles was punched in the gut. The roof was damaged from the shockwave. Seris grabbed both of his shoulders. Slamming his knee into Charles' chest. Charles then threw up blood. Seris stomped on Charles. Causing a massive dust screen. Charles was sent flying above me before crashing into the wall. Seris appeared in front of me grabbing Charles by the hair then punched him in the face.
"What was that for?" I yelled at Seris. He was Charles. As a green aura surrounded Charles he started to heal him.
"Well he needs to learn that power is not something that he can use to fix all of his problems." Seris told me with a serious expression. "The Starlight can damage his body if his body overflows." Seris said, looking at the unconscious Charles.
"What Starlight?" I asked him what he was talking about.
"Starlight is the energy used by Van Hellsing and Charles, his son." He said with a grim smile. Looking at Charles with melancholy.
"How did you know that?" I asked, looking at him. As a small smile covered his lips.
"I was a close friend of his." Seris said with a happy smile. Playing with Charles' hair. "That is why I will train this boy to join the academy. The entrance exam is in three months. Yesterday was the last day of school." He spoke with joy and smiled down at the boy.
"That makes sense." I said to him, He slowly nodded. Picking up Charles' bridal style. As he laid him into the bed. "Now what am I going to do for the day?" I asked as he shrugged.
"Follow me if you want." Seris said, shrugging with a smile on his face. I flapped behind him. Landing on his shoulder.
"Okay." I said I want to know what he wants with Charles. He got into a cab. It leads to the massive building in the center of the city. He quickly left the cab. Then I walked in.
"Sir you are not allowed to have a familiar here." A person said. By the looks of it he had no friends with thick glasses and his voice sounded on nails on a chalk board.
"Hello Seris, it is good to see you." A voice said I turn my head to see. Adam Adam the leader of the City State Alliance. With the help of the eight noble families he was able to claw his way to power. The 13 most notable nobles were Adam, Murat, Goldhoard and Pendragon. The Adam family was one not to be messed with one of the great five being the five biggest ones who formed the City State Alliance being Hellsing, Murat, Goldhoard, Nobless and Bulwark.
"Hello Mr Adam." Seris said with a bow. The most politically powerful person in the City State Alliance knows him.
"Don't be so formal, you're a close aide to mine." Adam said with a small smile. Putting his hand right beside me.
"Y-you k-know him?" The person stammered as then they ended up running away. What a shock. I was having a hard time believing this.
"Right in here." He stated as he was led into a room with three members. But it had fourteen chairs. Eleven of them were empty.
"Hello Commander of the Second Division, Mr Bulwak." The old man snarled.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Weapon." He was clearly annoyed.
"I think Mr. Starling has a good attitude about this and he shows respect." The third member spoke. It was the commander of the third division Cody Nickel.
"Are you trying to pick a fight?" Weapon yelled standing up and on the glowing screen table. Slamming his hand on the table.
"No Master Bulwak. I do not try to offend my betters." Cody started standing up and taking a small bow.
"This is going to be a long meeting." Seris sighed, taking a seat. The seat was facing the door and had the symbol of zero.
"Where are the others if I have to be dragged here so do they!" Weapon shouted, his face was flushed with anger. Then the screen behind us came to life showing three members. One, six and seven.
"Hello everyone." The voice spoke with calmness. It was just audio. Voice belongs to Edward Nobless.
"Hey Edward." Seris said with a smile. The room sent him an annoyed glance.
"Please I ask you to be more respectful to the Grand Commander of the Vampire Hunter." Cody asked with a small nod.
"The old man is still alive. How old are you?" Weapon asked. "We have been seniors for about 86 years." Weapon said after letting out a laugh. He was resting his hand.
"Irrelevant, what should we be worried about? Vampires are on the rise. What should we do?" Edward asked the group.
"We could give us the R&D department in the 7th core." This time the seven number spoke. His voice sounded crazy.
"Really name one thing of use you people have produced in the last 10 years." The number six on the tv spoke. Insulting the whole R&D department.
"You're so rough on your gear! You won't even know good tech if it hits you in the face." The commander of R&D barked back. Clearly insulted at the taunt. "Should we spend it on the Expedition and Scouting department!" He yelled. Hearing him audibly hitting his desk.
"Let's spend on the academy because in the long run it would help all divisions." Seris said as everyone shut up a listen they all seemed taken aback.
"Meeting over. This is such a headache." Edward spoke as the two other numbers logged off. "Seris stay." He quickly said. Seris retook his seat.
"What do you need?" Seris asked as he turned his chair to face the screen.
"Do you want to explain?" Edward asked. His voice was sharp. Almost like a blade.
"What do you mean?" Seris stated equally as cold. Staring at the screen with masked rage. Why was he so mad?
"A Chaos Signature match of Hellsing was on our radar." Edward said flatly.
"As this pertains to me how?" Seris asked, looking at the screen. With his eyes shadowed by his hair.
"Tell me if he is alive." As the screen now showed his face. It was the man put under the illusion of Sebastian killing Charles as a baby. But why would he ask that.
"Yes Grand Commander he was on the black market and the Pendragon bought him and took him in." Seris said with a bow. "As they also killed the vampire responsible for casting that illusion." Seris lied through his teeth.
"Thank you, keep this secret if the other family found out. They would love to sink their fangs in the boy." Edward said with joy filling both his face and voice.
"Yeah, have you heard that the Murat Patriarch has died?" Seris said, looking at the face of Edward.
