Chapter 6
“As you know, vampires are all over this world. There are many of our kind out there; slayers who work together and some who work alone. But either way, they'll eventually find their way here just like you did.” The old man's happy-go-luck expression finally turned into a serious one. “We've already got over a thousand people into the Underground already. All of the most important members are already there.”
“So where exactly do you stand in this organization?” Keiji's vibrant green eyes locked onto the man next to him as they continued down the road, “And how exactly were you able find me?”
“Google. It's amazing what your able to find on the web these days.” He answered. “You've heard of the Markus Brothers right?”
“Yah.” Keiji nodded. The Markus brothers were a pretty well known group among the slayers; they consist of four men all of whom have very impressive skills in hunting vampires. “Are you the head of the Underground?”
“No. But I guess you can say I'm the third leader of the organization. You see, the Underground is a huge organization like I said before. It can't be run by just one man alone.”
“Who's the two others?”
“Well, the second leader is the Black family. And the first one is of course Hellsing.” He marked Keiji's reaction, his eyes never leaving the young man's face.

She watched Abigail's increasing anger after being thrown back against the far marble pillar, yet again.
The two of them had been inseparable at one point. It's a shame that Abigail can't get over Vegeta and had to focus the hate and anger onto her.
With a hiss, Abigail lunged at her. She quickly sidestepped Abigail's punch, bring her knee up to knock Abigail in the stomach. Quicker than she anticipated, Abigail flipped around in mid air sending a kick to Bulma's chest knocking her back. Bulma got back up, and the two went at it again on a whole new level.
Vegeta turned towards his father who was watching with interest. “What exactly did you say to the woman, father?”
“Just watch, brat.” Was the only answer he received before turning back to the fight.
Millions of cheers echoed through the room, making it sound like they were in an arena. Chichi walked up from behind Juu to get a better view with Goku right next to her.
“Damn, she's gotten better.” Juu smirked watching Bulma's new techniques.
“It has been a few centuries.” Was Chichi's response.
“What do you suppose the king said to her?” Raddize wondered out loud near the two.
“Who knows.” Goku shrugged, his eyes glued to the fight scene.

“So your saying that I'm the leader of an organization that I barely knew existed?” Keiji asked quirking a perfect thick brown brow up at the man known as Marcus.
“If you don't take the position than the Black family will. And I can tell you now, you're not going to like taking orders from them. Besides, the Hellsing line is the most powerful slayers in the world; they were born to kill vampires so it's only natural that they will be leaders in a war like this one. Other hunters look up to the Hellsing.”
A moment of silence fell between them as they walked down the street. Keiji sighed, his thoughts ran back to one fact; if he was to be leader than maybe he could find a way to bring Bulma with them.
“Is it just you or did you bring another?” The man asked braking the silence.
“My sister, she's probably out from school by now.” Keiji answered.
“Is she well trained?”
At the question he received a critical look from Keiji, making the man raise his hand in mock defense.
“What!? You didn't do a full background check?!” Keiji mocked shock. “Beside you should know better than to ask. Whether it's male or female the same blood runs through them; a Hellsing is born to slay vampires.”

“You've improve Bulma. Fumihiro would have been proud.” Resentment clouded her voice as she snared that out. Blocking the kick that Bulma sent her.
“Don't speak of her name. She did right to kick you out, you're a disgrace to her name.” Bulma hissed. They had trained with the same teacher that's how they met at first. But than shortly after they met Vegeta, Abigail had felt the need to compete with her and the competition that Abigail forced between them soon turned into something driven by hate and jealousy….at least for Abigail anyway.
Slamming her down to the floor, Bulma kept her down pushing her knee onto Abigail's stomach and locking her arms.
“We use to be friends.” Bulma stated softly, so quietly that nobody heard except for Abigail. Her blue eyes showed sadness at what had become of their friendship.
“I was a blind fool back then.” Abigail spat out without regret.
“Yah, so was I.” Bulma snared giving up trying to win Abigail's favor back. Lifting Abigail up by her dress, she slammed Abigail against the pillar hurting Abi's already injured shoulder.
She turned away as Abigail dropped to the floor.
“You'll pay for this.” She heard Abigail hissed, but Bulma choose to ignore her.
(Keiji's Apartment)
12:35pm
“Not bad, and here I was thinking of offering you a room to stay inside the Underground.” Markus chuckled, looking around Keiji's small apartment.
“I'll hold you to that offer, it might get dangerous here if that war you said is really going to happen.” Keiji said, walking into the kitchen to get them something to drink.
“Cautious and prepared. I like that in a leader.” Markus commented the warm smile never left his face. He like the young man, strong, knowledgeable, sometimes a bit too tense, not cocky, and not too prideful. “Of course you need to, to keep your little sister safe. Sweet girl she is.”
“Orange juice or apple?” Keiji's voice trailed back to the living room where Markus was.
……upstairs….
Keiko yawned, brushing her brown locks in front of the mirror. Her brother had ordered her off to bed after introducing the friendly old man who came back with him.
A soft tap at the balcony doors made her jerk her head towards the glass doors. Her green eyes brightened as she quickly went over and unlock the double doors before jumping into Bulma's arms.
“I told you I'd find you.” Bulma smiled softly down at the young one.
“I know it's only been a week but, I miss you!” Keiko squealed happily, making Bulma's laugh. “I have to show you something!” She said rushing back to her bed.
Keiko turned back to Bulma when she didn't come in. “What's wrong?”
“You have to call me in, remember?” Bulma pointed out, reminding Keiko of the magical barrier on the house.
“Come in, Bulma.” Keiko stated clearly, smiling when she walked into her room and sat down on her bed.
“So tell me about your school, I know it's a big change from Tokyo.” Bulma observed the girl's room. It wasn't much different from her old one except for where the bed and clothes were placed. The poster were still the same, so was her style.
“School's ok. I met a few people, but everything we're learning in class I already learned back in Tokyo.” Keiko shrugged indifferently as she dug for something under her bed. Bulma only saw Keiko's legs as she talked.
“Do you miss you-know-who?” Bulma whispered the last part out.
“Yah, I email him everyday. But all of my friends told me that long distance doesn't work.” Keiko came back up with a frown on her soft features dimming her spirits a little. If Kenji found out that she was dating, he would have gone nuts. It was her and Bulma's secret.
“Hmm, not always.” Bulma watched as she opened the dark blue box that was lined with silver. “What is it?”
“I'm not exactly sure. But before we moved here, we were cleaning out the attic and I found this back with your mom's name on it.” Keiko said lifting the box to Bulma.
Inside the box there was a smaller one. Lifting it up Bulma observed that it was made out of steal and silver. Jewels, gems, and gold made up the symbol of the Hellsing family at the center.
“I can't open it.” Keiko sighed looking at it.
“Is your brother home?” Bulma asked, putting it back in the blue box.
“Yah, he is downstairs with another man.” Keiko caught the frown on Bulma's face. “What's wrong?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to talk to him for a bit. But looks like I'm too late.”
“Too late?” Keiko questioned curiosity lacing her features.
“I mean….it's getting too late. You need to go to bed now.” Bulma said, forgetting how easily Keiko's curiosity was triggered.
“Awww. But I haven't seen you in a week.”
“I'll be back.” Bulma said hurriedly tucking her in. “Don't tell your brother I was here, alright? I have to go now. Good night.” She kissed Keiko on the top of her head before turning off the lights.
“Wait! Take this with you. When you open it tell me what you found.” Keiko said pushing the box to her. Bulma hesitated but the footsteps of someone coming pushed her to make up her mind.
A second later her bedroom door opened and Keiko looked to see Keiji looking in on her.
“'Night brother.”
“Goodnight Keiko.” He said before closing the door.

(Somewhere in L.A.)
Vegeta dropped yet another body carelessly on the floor. She wasn't dead, just unconscious. He scanned the area and growled in anger. He had looked away for one minuet and Bulma slipped away.
Goku dropped down next to him. “Hunters are near by.”
“Good, I thought they were all dead from the lack of security around here.” Juu's voice came near the tree as she too, walked towards him.
“How many are there?” Chichi asked appearing from the shadows, standing next to Goku.
“About ten.” Goku stated. “They must have known we're here or something.”
“Bulma's going to miss all the fun.” Chichi smirked, slowly backing into the shadows like the rest just as the slayers came around.
Vegeta watched silently as they walked up to the woman he just drank from, checking her pulse and neck. His lips tightened when he spotted one familiar figure, the brown hair man.
“Damn those Bloodsuckers.” One man among the ten cursed.
“They're close.” Another more powerful looking man stated, silver hair but young looking.
“You've miscounted Goku. There are eleven of them.” Juu's voice made all the slayers turn and aim they weapons at her.
“That's alright. Just more fun for us.” Chichi smirked from the right. The hunters slowly formed a circle; back to back.
“Alright Hellsing, let's see what you got.” An older man smiled, excitement in his eyes.
“All that talk about Hellsings, let's see if all those history books are right.” Another added.
“Don't worry, we'll be here to back you up if you need any.” Markus slapped Keiji heartily in the back.
“If I need any. I doubt it.” Kenji threw back with a light voice, “Besides if history is right, than your all screwed if I don't get it right.” He stated making a few men in the group laugh out.
Chichi and Juu lunged at the Keiji but he was faster and stronger than they expected. With a speed that both the slayers and Chichi and Juu could barely follow, he stabbed them both with a stake knocking the two into a tree.
“Wow, look at him go and these vampires are more than centuries old too.”
“Well, looks like he does live up to his name. It's good that we have a strong leader.”
“I told you he was a strong one.” Markus smiled proudly like he just found gold.
Goku smiled impressed with the younger man's strength. This is certainly interesting. He leaned back from the swipe Keiji aimed at him. He was just about to punch Keiji in the face when a voice halted his moves.
“That's enough for tonight Kakkarote.” Vegeta's voice was low, husk, deadly. His leather-clad form came from the shadows, causing an air of caution to rise up immediately from the other men.
“Prince Vegeta how nice of you to grace us with your presence.” The silver haired man said monotony, gripping his crossbow.
Vegeta ignored the comment walking straight to Keiji, looking at him square in the eye the whole time. He could tell that Keiji, a few inches taller than him, was what others would say `the strong and handsome' type.
“You have no idea what you walked into. I advise you to go back to Tokyo.” Vegeta warned before disappearing into the early morning shadows.
Chichi and Juu pulled the stake out of themselves and threw it back at Keiji. He caught it before it slammed into his head.
The last three of vampires vanished after Vegeta.
“So that was the vampire prince?” Keiji said mostly to himself, looking down at his stake.
“Soon to be king. Really soon.” The silver haired one informed, he was the second in command. Jason Black.
“You see vampires have this thing that they do every 5 million year.” Pili, the most laid back guy out of them all spoke out. “There are two main rulers; Vegeta and Lucifer which was also known as the famous Dracula. Many people get confuse that Vegeta and Lucifer are the one and the same person because no one really lives to tell the real story behind it all. At least normal people don't.”
“Get on with the story, Pili. Don't drag it on till dawn.” One of the men complained.
“Shut your hairy ass up and let me finish, will ya!” Pili growled out before clearing his throat and continuing. “But at the end of the last 5 million year before Lucifer went into `sleep'-
“Which basically means the process in which they take out all of his blood and put him in a coffin where he will be staying until the next 5 million year comes along.” Another out of the group cut off.
“Thank you, Michel.” Pili said with slight annoyance. “Anyway, before the switch happened Lucifer was killed by one of Black's ancestors. The result was that Vegeta had to be waken a few years earlier than intended. As you know; balance must be kept, so Vegeta and his queen had Vegeta Jr. which you had the pleasure of meeting tonight.”
“His queen?” Keiji questioned, his mother died so early that he didn't really get the background information of it all. He had taught himself all the training from books, but he knew it wasn't enough.
“Victoria. Slayer turned into a vampire. Seduced by Vegeta himself.”
“Save the mushy love story for some other time. Get to the important stuff will ya?” Michel jabbed Pili in the ribs.
“If the calculations are right, than the end of the 5 million year will be the first day of next month. Vegeta II will be the new king for the next 5 million year while his father is put to sleep.” Pili said.
“At least he's new and inexperience compared with his father and Lucifer.” One of the less experienced men observed.
“Not nessarily.” Pili corrected, “He was born and raised by his father who trained him viciously, and passed down all his knowledge over the many centuries. I'd say he is just as cruel as the last leader, if not even more so.” He ended with an ominous tone.
“So what's with this I hear about him making this one woman queen?” Markus inquired.
Pili chuckled before answering, “Who knows. It's every king's choice if they want a queen or not. Lucifer didn't choose one.”
Keiji frown at the mental picture of Vegeta with Bulma the night before flashed across mind. If Vegeta was planning on making her queen, than he would have to act fast to get her out of there.
“And the plot thickens.” Pili said as they watched as Keiji walked off by himself. The sun was slowly raising, lighting the world against with another day.
