The weekend after Daniel nearly murdered Riser, his weakened state forced him to be at home. He walked around the house alone for the first time in a long while. Daniel spent the day relaxing, cooking, cleaning, and watching tv. At nearly three in the afternoon, he stood in the backyard, practicing his swordsmanship. Before Daniel could get serious, he began sensing strange anomalies around the house. Whilst holding his sword, he turns to see nobody there. That is until a familiar-looking sword is thrown his way. Knowing better than to get hit with a blade, he dodges, fear crossing his face as he turns toward the trees behind the house.

"Are you serious?! The fuck is your problem, Patel?" He roars at the person in front of him.

"What? Can't a guy say hi to his friend?" Patel says with a chuckle.

"He can, But I know you better. What did the Hellsing Organization send you to Japan for?"

"Oh, no that's not it. I'm on vacation right now, you know, since London was destroyed a few days ago."

"Shouldn't you and your organization be on reparation duties then?"

Achilles Patel shrugs. "The geese are, same with Seras."

Daniel tilts his head confused. "Okay? Some of those are new."

"So what've you been doing since we last met?" Patel asks, walking towards the teenager.

"Oh, not much. Traveled to a few more places, began learning the bass like your brother recommended. You weren't who I was expecting, I just so happened to recognize your blade."

"Huh. Funnily Enough, I was in the middle of a fight when I threw my sword."

"Who were you fighting exactly?" Daniel asks.

"That'd be us." Three people stand on branches nearby, first is an older woman with grey hair. Next to her is a girl who looks very similar to her, also with grey hair. Lastly is a young woman with black hair and red eyes.

"I'm sorry if I don't follow, but who are you?" Daniel asks.

"My name is Tia Young, former butler of one AJ Star. I'm looking for his descendant, the current holder of Excalibur."

Daniel sighs, summoning a sword. "Well, my name is Daniel Star, current holder of the sacred gear Blade Master."

The woman, Tia, walks forward as she draws knives that appear in her hands. She throws them directly at Daniel. He quickly uses his throwaway blade and counters them all. She pulls her hand down, which causes the blades to stiffen before launching toward him. Patel deflects them and twists his hand. Wires appear, ensnaring the knives and shattering them.

"Not happening." Patel says, guarding Daniel.

"And what of those two with you?" Daniel readies to fight.

"The one with white hair is my daughter Skylar Young. Now, if you truly are my master's descendant, prove it, draw a sword that only he could like, enlightenment."

"Enlightenment?" Daniel grins smugly. "Well if you say so..." He summons the sword and then twirls it in hand, readying for another fight. Tia puts away more blades and kneels before him along with her daughter. The other girl steps forward, extending a hand. "If you're expecting me to shake a stranger's hand, you have me mistaken." Daniel stares at her.

"I'm Clarissa Star." She speaks, staring at Daniel, their eyes locked.

Daniel's eyes widen slightly. A memory seems to nag at him, but the memory is too foggy for him to make out. The only thing to stand out is her name, Clarissa. He shakes her hand. Daniel glances over at Patel when the others in the area arrive.

Crystia glares at Clarissa. "Alright, explain."

"Oh, Uh, right. This man here next to me is-." Daniel begins to explain.

"Achilles Carpi Patel." Crystia interrupts. Her gaze had not left Clarissa. "One half of the Hellsing Organizations Patel Brothers. Enemies of the Vatican. Why are you here?"

Achilles shrugs. "I'm on vacation. That and the Vatican sent me to find you. A group of people, Yumi, Heinkel, and a girl named Lint."

Daniel turns to Achilles. "Wait, you met aunt Lint?"

"Yeah. She works at the Vatican right now. Said they were sending me to deal with some guy who's been stealing Excalibur fragments."

Crystia hums. "Oddly enough my last message was to look into that."

"Well, I guess we'll be seeing more of each other then."

"Moving on, the adult woman is Tia Young, apparently she was the maid working for AJ Star who apparently, is Lucy's and my ancestor." Daniel continues.

"Grandfather." Tia corrects.

"Grandfather. And has come to us for some reason with her daughter."

"I would like to continue working under Masters bloodline, if you would be willing to have me, Master Star."

Daniel shrugs. "Call me Daniel. Don't hurt anyone in the house, and don't enter my room and we'll all be good."

"Uh, Daniel? You and your crew could move into my place. It's a large mansion-like house that could easily fit everyone."

"And how did you acquire this mansion." Daniel looks accusingly at Achilles.

"The Vatican. I had three conditions to the agreement. One, a large HQ, they got me a mansion. Two, a new gun. And three, a 70-inch-wide screen plasma TV... with Netflix. "

Crystia stares at Clarissa. "Was it also 3D?"

"No! That's a stupid fucking gimmick and everyone knows it!"

Crystia hums.

"Well, why the fuck not. Pack your shit people, we're going to Patel's." Daniel orders. "Speaking of Patel's, where is Ulna?"

"Oh, uh... big brothers dead." Achilles says bluntly.

"You sound way to chipper about that." Daniel deadpans.

"Eh, after the amount of death I've seen in the last few months alone, you become very desensitized to it."

Daniel shrugs. "Fair enough.

The group quickly does what they need to do before traveling to his mansion. Once arriving, Daniel receives a call from Sona as she asks him if anyone else will be attending classes at Kuoh. Daniel sighs, and informs her that he will bring them later that day, which he does, bringing Faith, Skyler, Ame, who joined the group after all, and Clarissa. As they approach, Daniel notices a boy with white hair and blue eyes leaving, but he chooses not to bother him as he walks with Gale.

"Is this everyone?" Sona asks.

Daniel shrugs. "I hope so."

"I will need their full name, age, and clothing sizes."

Daniel turns away. "Ladies, have at it."

He walks away. Just by the door, Tsubasa is standing to the side. Daniel smirks, standing with her as she cuddles up to him. The pair remain silent. Daniel closes his eyes to enjoy the calmness of the moment.

The following day he stands in front of Kuoh Academy with Tsubasa and Lucy as they watch the others approach the school. Asia with Chisaki next to her, followed by Sona arriving with Tsubaki. Faith and Ame meet with the group together. Skylar and Clarissa walk towards the school together, and Rias arrives with Issei. Everyone stops when they arrive, with Daniel already standing there.

Sona stares at Daniel. "Daniel."

Daniel grins. "I'm fulfilling our agreement and returning Tsubasa alive. We had a lovely night, a nice dinner, and stargazing."

Sona smiles slightly, brewing her head a bit. "Thank you, Daniel."

"No problem. And to both you and Rias, Faith, Ame,, Skylar, Clarissa and Chisaki are off limits. Looking to you Rias." He gives a curt warning.

"Also, don't be yourself Issei. All of these girls can kill you, without trying."

"Why are you singling me out?"

Chisaki scoffs. "Pervert."

"To class everyone!" Daniel orders.

They all walk to their respective classes as Lily leads Clarissa to class, joining Koneko on the way. Sona and Rias lead Faith to their classroom. Daniel walks with Issei, Chisaki, Asia, Ame, and Skylar. Waiting outside the class is the same male from the day prior. Daniel tells Chisaki, Issei, and Asia to enter without him as he smiles and steps in front of the male, or as he knows him, Alan Mankoi.

Alan looks up at Daniel, confused. "Is there a problem, Sir?"

"Yeah, I got one. It involves the son of the famous scientist not speaking to me when he arrived, despite knowing that I lived here."

"Look, I don't know who you think you are but I am a busy man."

"I know you are. So it amazes me that Dr. AJ sent you here. I only found out because of Gale."

"Daniel?" Alan finally recognizes his friend.

"It's about time, nerdling."

Alan raises an eyebrow with a smile. "Why are you here?"

Daniel shrugs. "I live here. Well, either way, I'll see you all in class." He walks inside the class and takes his seat facing the teacher.

"All right ye little shits! We have new students! Show them some fooken respect! Issei, Matsuda, Matohama, keep yourselves under control ye little shits! Alright! Enter!" Alan, Ame, and Skylar enter the room as most of the boys go insane at the two girls, and the girls get excited about Alan. "Introduce yourselves."

"My Name is Alan Mankoi, I'm a transfer student from the America's, Canada specifically, my father is the scientist AJ Mankoi, And... I'm here to learn what I can before moving on to college." He remains curt and professional.

"Any questions?"

Chisaki raises a hand being called. "When Dr. Mankoi sent you did he give a reason?"

"To reunite with some old friends, Chisaki." He smiles, recognizing an old friend.

"I was wondering if you'd forgotten about me."

Daniel scoffs. "He forgot me."

Chisaki laughs, earning an elbow from Daniel. Alan sighs. "I do apologize Daniel."

"Whatever, you owe me one."

"Yes, I think I know what to get you."

"Alright, you may sit where you like, next." Alan walks into the crowd of students as Ame steps up, and most of the boys get excited until Alan, Chisaki, and Daniel glare at them.

"Hello everyone. My name is Ame Hana, and I'm your new classmate. Don't bore me and we'll get along." She joins the class as Skylar walks forward and seemingly glares at everyone until her gaze softens when she looks at Daniel and Alan.

"I'm Skylar Young from America, hurt my friends and I hurt you."

Clarissa now steps up with a sigh. "I'm Clarissa Star, not directly related to Daniel. Distant relatives we'll say. I'm transferring from America as well, but, I'm only here for the next year before I go back."

She then walks to the back of the class. She sits directly in front of Daniel as Crystia sits to his right and Chisaki to his left with Alan behind him. Skylar sits to Alan's left and Ame to his right. They sit through class bored and go about their day until after school as Daniel stands with Chisaki, Lucy, Crystia, Clarissa, and Faith outside a warehouse. Earlier, they had been informed that a stray was living there, and they were called in to deal with them.

"So what's the strategy?" Lucy asks.

Daniel shrugs. "I want to run a test. Clarissa, Faith, do you want to take point with me? Sis, Chisaki keep guard from above, Crystia make sure they don't escape."

Everyone agrees as they enter the house building. Upon entry, Daniel notices the foul stench of blood and then spots a large arm falling to the floor followed by the rest of the body of a stray looking up, he sees Patel sitting on top of its head. He hums, cleaning his gun as the door opens behind them. Daniel looks back at Koneko, Issei, and Kiba.

"The fuck?" Daniel mutters.

"Daniel?" Kinda asks.

They enter as Patel lands in front of Daniel, pistol drawn. He immediately places the gun to Issei's head and then his blade to the neck of Koneko as Kiba cuts him in half. They hear chuckling coming from him as his body reforms rapidly from an orange-red goo covered in eyes as he looks back at Kiba.

Patel speaks in a female voice. "Yamero! You're splitting me in two!" He then speaks in a merged Fem & Demonic voice. "Now do it another three thousand times why don'tcha!"

"That's enough! Kiba, Patel, stand down!" Daniel orders.

Patel groans. "Aw, But I was just having fun! You know what, I don't have to take this, I'm going for a walk!"

"You're not him, I will stop you."

Patel shrugs his threat off. "Whatever."

Kiba raises his sword. "Patel?"

Rias steps inside the building. "One of the Patel brothers. Working under the Hellsing Organization. What is the Hellsing Organization doing in Kuoh?"

Achilles raises a finger, raising more as he makes his points. "Firstly. It's no longer Patel Brothers. My brother is dead. Died during the London attack a few months ago. Secondly, I'm currently on vacation so there's that. And thirdly, I'm just doing my job, killing strays, vampires, ghouls, leprechauns, never found one, but do you think if I shot it with my gun lucky charms would explode everywhere?"

Issei: turns to Achilles. "The fuck dude?"

"Oh, And before I forget, yo! Star! Gale said he'll be back tomorrow, bringing some chicks from the Vatican. He said they were important to your character growth or something. I don't know, ask Crystia about it."

Crystia seems to break for a moment, holding her head. 'No... no, no, no! I swear to god." All of the Devils recoil.

Daniel shrugs. "Anywho, we planned on going stray hunting, but, you beat us too it."

"Well, I've got nothing to do, especially now that your maid is doing housework." Achilles says nonchalantly.

Issei turns to Daniel, outraged. "You have a maid!? Why are you always so lucky!??

"Rias, Get him in line, before I chop his dick off."

Rias turns to Issei. "Issei, behave yourself."

"Y-Yes, Ma'am."

Patel chuckles at the pair before him, mouthing to himself. "Like a pampered dog."

"Rias, we will discuss this Vatican problem later. I've got some... work to do." Daniel says.

Rias turns to Daniel. "Work?"

Daniel nods. "Work."

Daniel swiftly turns away from the group sensing a familiar magical energy. He teleports and instantly crosses blades with Freed seeing him battling a priest. Daniel frowns. "Nice seeing you again, Freed."

"I smell Protestant all over you, why?"

"Oh, you mean Patel, sorry about that, just finished talking with him."

"Patel? One of the brothers of Hellsing?"

Daniel grins. "You know it."

Freed frowns. "If Hellsing's here in Kuoh then I don't have time to deal with you. Toodles, kid!"

He then throws a flashbang as Daniel turns to the dead priest and groans when footsteps approach nearby. He glances back, seeing Patel walking closer to him. "And he was?" Achilles asks.

"That was Freed. The man who trained me to use swords."

"Well, he's one of Iscariot's targets. And one of mine."

"Oh that's... swell... come on, let's get back home."

"Sure. You can tell me war-stories of your time after the Yukon."

"Sure, let's start with Chisaki and Tokyo."

Patel grins. "Now, that sounds interesting."

Chapter End.
