RE:BORN Zombie

“The target has crossed the portal.” A vampire said after seamlessly emerging from a shadow near a wall where another vampire stood.

They were indoors, and the vampire who had received this piece of information had a smile that formed on his face turn into a smirk as he pushed off the wall. The vampire who reported initially went on to state that they couldn’t track the target’s movements as he seemed to possess a teleportation ability, since he disappeared after appearing from the portal.

He gave the order to the other who had reported to him to leave, and he headed elsewhere himself.

Some minutes later, the same vampire who had received the information entered a particular room, and within the room sat just one vampire, who didn’t bother to turn towards the one who just entered.

“Lord, the one you have been waiting for has crossed from the gate.” The vampire reported.

The vampire seating on the chair who was called lord remained silent even after hearing this piece of information, and only after some seconds did a small wild smile bloom on his face, exposing his teeth, and he had a mouth full of them.

“Where is he at the moment?” The vampire asked.

“We don’t know, as he disappeared right after emerging from the portal. He seems to have a teleportation ability.” The other answered.

“Hmm, track his movements and inform me the moment you find him.” The vampire seating down said.

“Yes, lord.”

Back at Under Current’s base, Victor had indeed found someone of qualified rank that narrated all what had been happening. Shockingly enough for Victor, it hadn’t been nearly as much as a month since he entered the portal, rather the time was relatively short.

Within those few days, he was told that many human cities had been wiped out, and that only faraway cities were left. The humans had began to assemble units and forces that would battle the crisis, and Maggie had left on a similar trip.

Unlike what first came to Victor though, they were not supporting the humans, rather they were defending themselves. It was easy enough to identify who their enemies where, vampires, and according to them the vampires had gotten rather powerful, and with this power that came, they seemed to have gotten pretty ambitious.

They had began attacking and threatening some groups for different reasons. When it came to the Under Current, it was information and personnel. Maybe the vampires just didn’t see the need to learn advanced human technology and all that initially, but it seemed like they do now, and after killing all the humans in the cities and all, the ones left were those of faraway lands and the ones in the organisations left behind which were still intact.

The vampires attacked Moonless first, but seemed like their system was just so good that the vampires gave up after sometime as they couldn’t really get any info from them. Because of this, they had decided to go after the much more porous Under Current.

Victor quickly pieced together that this vampires were not part of the Emrick family, as they already had plenty information if that was the case, so this was probably another family that had crossed over and still had a family. They were lucky not to be in their world really, Victor thought.

As for the time being, there was no way to contact Maggie, as both her and the team she took had gone missing from Under Current’s radar and were nowhere to be found.

Markel who Victor had put in-charge was still in the base, but Deacon was not, he was in Maggie’s team. Victor did try to teleport to his location, as he had a mark on him from that one time, but as expected, it didn’t work as the mark was no more. Considering the fact that the guy was unable to die as his regeneration was next level, his fighting style was just as broken and Victor could imagine just how his mark disappeared.

To say the least, he couldn’t really care much about what happened to them, as they could always be replaced, but for the sake of it, he sent out two of his best vampires at tracing to find them. Victor had lost interest in Maggie a while back, was she was a good and dedicated follower, so she was good to keep around. He couldn’t find a way to evolve her without her addition to the legion, so she was out of the picture.

Markel was very shocked seeing someone who looked like the enemy he had been battling appear beside Victor, and since Victor hadn’t said anything about summoning his vampire, it was even more of a shock than it should have been. Victor was quick enough to remove any thought Markel might have been having and they proceeded from there.

The interesting thing with the vampires he had was that they were completely active like regular vampires, retaining everything about them. They were just now a different kind of undead and no longer required some of their previous needs like drinking blood and all.

After some time had passed, the vampires were able to bring back the team with which Maggie went out with, or more precisely, the only survivor. Unsurprising enough, this survivor was Deacon, and apart from his physical condition, he was mostly fine. Being undead on top his regeneration was really a something.

During the short break when the vampires went to look for Maggie and her crew, Victor made back to his house to check things, and as expected, everything was good and unaffected. He left the vampires back there and took every other legion member with him along with the vampires he brought with him. It was easy to say that the original legion felt a bit intimidated seeing those that were much stronger than them.

That aside, Victor was back at the base, and from Deacon heard about everything they had experienced on their mission so to speak. Victor was quite interested in the ones who could make Maggie look like morning workout. If he removed himself and his legion, Maggie was very powerful and would easily be ranked amongst the top 100 the planet had to offer. For someone to be able to beat her so bad that she couldn’t even fight back, it was not something that happened everyday. It was much clear that these vampires were strong, and they meant business.

Normally it wouldn’t be a problem, and even at the moment it wasn’t. The single fact that they were this strong was good and encouraging, since the stronger the vampire was, the richer the evolution material could be obtained from them.
