Grim could tell that Dexter had been taken over, and he immediately ran away. That wasn't the man who tamed him.
On the ocean bay, Alucard stood there, gazing at the ocean as he tried to figure out a way to cross it.
"Hm... He couldn't fly them across last time, but he's two classes above his previous one," he mumbled with a smile, and then he jumped forward.
Two black wings sprouted from his back, and he began to make his way across the ocean at shocking speeds.
...
The Sunwalkers were all exhausted. There were large amounts of zombie bodies and blood all over the place. They all went inside, and Kila looked up to see that the moon was already subsiding.
She walked into the camp and then hopped onto a tall building before trying to sniff the air.
"What are you doing?"
Kila was startled by the voice, and she saw Lily standing next to her.
"I'm trying to track Dexter. I don't know... I can't feel him anymore..." she said with a frown, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
"What... What do you mean?" Lily seemed to be confused.
"His presence, I can't feel it anymore. It's like he's dead."
The words struck like thunder in Lily's ears, and she shook her head before closing her eyes.
"I just hope the others will be able to bring him back," Kila said as she sat down on the roof.
"Do we tell his mom?" Lily asked, and Kila was a bit stunned, but then her expression became downcast.
"Just leave her out of it for now. Let's see if they'll bring him back," Kila replied before folding her knees upwards, resting her chin on them.
Jane still sat at the door to their small room apartment, and she gazed out of the camp to see where Dexter was.
'I really hope he is okay. But where did he go?' Jane thought to herself, but then she sighed and decided to wait in silence.
Arriving in front of him in the next moment.
Alucard smiled, raising an arm to block, and he kicked Dexter back with his feet before rushing at him.
*BANG!!!*
Dexter caught his fist, which was aiming at his face, and he could feel his hand getting weaker.
"The thing is, I also saw your memories, so I know exactly how you fight," Alucard said before pushing the hand away and launching a barrage of punches and kicks towards Dexter.
Dexter was blocking it all, but his hand, which he used to block the first blow, still throbbed.
They engaged in hand-to-hand combat, throwing lethal blows, and Alucard seemed to enjoy it all.
Dexter got a punch to the stomach, but as he moved backward, his leg swung up, hitting his counterpart's chin.
Both of them backed away, and Dexter noticed that he wasn't getting tired at all.
"Hm? It seems like your stamina matches what you have in real life. Abilities don't work in the mind space too, so we can't transform or anything. We'll just see who tires out first!" Alucard shouted as he charged at Dexter again, who also went at him.
...
It took Alucard more than a day to finally cross the ocean from America to Nigeria.
He arrived at the edge of the country and couldn't even see a trace of life in the area. He could see a few red glows in the distance, signifying living creatures, but they were all not human.
"Now to find my brother's hideout." He flew forward, going in a certain direction.
The zombies below growled as they looked up to see a yellow light flash past them. Alucard was going very fast, and then he finally reached a mountain area that was away from the city.
"Hmm... It's not here?" He gazed around.
The sun was shining brightly on the land, and his wings made loud flapping sounds, the heat causing the little grasses and weeds below to incinerate.
"It has been a long time since I came here. It will take a while to find him."
