" Wow, that was incredibly boring. Oh, and the Belnades' and Fernandez's are my ancestors and relatives, so you've got trouble." Kristina kicked Dracula across the face, causing him to fall to the ground. Trevor Belmont stood in front of her. Only this wasn't Trevor Belmont, this was a fully human-like zombie, under Dracula's control. She kicked the zombie, fleeing to the hall. A wolf followed her out. It stopped and barked, letting out a howl. Kristina eyed it for a moment, seeing it was Dracula, and got in a fighting stance. The wolf got in a position, ready to pounce. It lounged at her and she dropped to the floor, kicking upwards and connecting with the target. It fell to the floor and Kristina dug her knife into its heart. She kicked it again, sending if flying through the air while blowing into dust. William and John met up with her and the three left the mansion in a hurry.
" So, he's using the Orb of Theisan." Madden worried.
" Yeah." Kristina told him.
" But how would you know if he was or not?" William asked her.
" Well, he did this psychic thing to make me see what he was talkin' about. And he showed me the battles between him and slayers, and this family line of Belmonts. And at one point in time, he fought my ancestor Sypha Belnades, and my other ancestors, Carrie and Natalie Fernandez. Natalie was a slayer and knew how to use magic, as with Sypha and Carrie. All these people, including me, are descendants of Aredemius. And I'm guessing that my family is related to the Belmonts, since he gave me this disturbing image of Sypha and Trevor well, you know."
" Yeah, but that's not what I as-"
" Oh, yeah, well since I know what Trevor looks like, I'm guessin' that since I saw him fully regenerated, he has the orb, cuz' he said that with the orb, he could raise any zombie to his liking. And fully regenerated seems to be a liking."
" Oh."
Out of nowhere, Madden's phone rang. He stumbled over to pick it up.
" Hello?"
" Madden?"
" Yeah, who is this?"
" Jason."
" Who is it?" William asked.
" Jason." Madden responded, putting his hands over the mouthpiece, " I'll put him on speaker."
" Jason!!!! How the f-k are ya'?" Kristina shouted.
" Good (laughing)."
" What is it Jason?" Madden asked.
" Well," Jason responded, " When are you gonna' send the reinforcement?"
Madden snapped his fingers, " William…"
" Yeah I know." He responded angrily.
John and Kristina went to see William off at the airport.
" Flight one-o-one is now boarding." The woman over the intercom said,
" Well," William said," The intercom has spoken."
" Yeah." Kristina gave him a light tap on the backside. " Look John, our little Will is growing up."
" Oh my God." John took out a tissue and pretended to cry.
" Very funny." William picked up his bags and gave Kristina a light kiss on the cheek.
" Bye." She said as he began boarding. He waved good-bye.
John and Kristina walked up to the food court to get something to eat and watch the plain take off. The sun had been setting already. John ordered some noodles from the Chinese place and sat down next to Kristina, watching the sun set. Out of nowhere, on the lower level of the plane terminal, a loud shrieking noise was heard. Kristina heard it and ran for the railing over-looking the lower level. She beheld a man with a long leather trench coat, shoulder length blond hair, bleach white skin, and black leather gauntlet-type gloves. On his belt was a sword. He had on boots that looked as if they belonged to a soldier from the civil war, and black leather pants (this guy has an obsession with leather, doesn't he?). The gift shop exploded and the charred body of the woman in management came flying out.
" Who is that?!" John asked Kristina yelling over the screams of scared people.
" Alucard." Kristina responded very calmly, remembering the vision.
" Whoever that a-hole is, he's toast." John pulled out the XD15 and ran down the steps with it. " Take this f-face!!!" He blasted Alucard with it, blowing him back into the wall. He got up, seemingly untouched.
" Wow." Alucard walked toward John. " You can't kill me. I'm invincible."
John looked down at the talisman on Alucard's neck. It glowed red; signaling that someone was controlling him, for this was a power talisman, one that gives the wearer more strength, but also had the drawback of control by another.
Kristina rushed down the escalator and pulled out her crossbow. She shot Alucard in the heart, not hurting him at all. The Australian slayer James Easton rushed in through the door. He saw Dracula standing there in a black robe. He appeared older than usual, as if his skin was paper thin, and dreadfully wrinkled.
" Slayer." Dracula folded his arms, " Tell your friends that he cannot be defeated."
" Maybe he can't," Easton refused." But you can." He kicked the Count in the chest and backhanded him in the face. He became angry, and a burst of energy came out from under him as he began floating in the air.
The people had been running around in fear and by now the military had come. They were searching for a bomb or some sort of weapon that could cause a blast. Dracula floated higher and higher, up to the food court, where there was a vast amount of glass (in the windows). The already terrified people watched as the count set himself down in front of the windows. His eyes turned a blazing red, sending the windows into an explosion of razor-sharp glass. One of the employees at the Chinese place ducked down behind the counter to avoid being hit. He gradually got up when the glass was no longer airborne. Looking at some of the lifeless bodies on the ground, he could scarcely breath. The count was not finished with his obliteration. Just as Easton hurried up the steps, he saw Dracula telekinetically lifting a shard of glass off the ground. His eyes then raced over to the Chinese booth.
" No!!!" Easton watched in horror as the shard of glass sliced into the employee's head.
Dracula distorted himself into a mist and disappeared through the window. John and Kristina were still downstairs. They gave each other a sharp glance and began assault. They both gave Alucard a kick to the face.
Soon, the mist sailed close to Alucard, whispering into his ear," Let us leave my son." Alucard dispersed into a swarm of bats and went flying through the window in the upstairs food court.
" Alucard??!!" Madden asked in shock.
" Yeah." Kristina sat down in the chair in front of Madden's desk.
" I'm gonna' have u.v lamps planted in there."
" Okay." Kristina approved. " I'm goin on patrol, John, you wanna' come?"
" Yeah, sure."
Kristina and John went patrolling and ran into a gang of vampires. They were going to find out where Dracula had disappeared to, which they did. They were informed that he moved back to Romania because he found what he was searching for: The Orb of Theisan.
"Transylvania????!!!" Madden yelled.
" Yes." Kristina assured him," And for God's sake would you stop yelling?"
" Fine." Madden agreed. "I'm gonna' send you and John there to stop him from whatever he has planned."
They arrived in Romania through use of the consul's airport to avoid the deaths of anymore-innocent people. During the day, they checked across a gorge where a village woman directed them.

(Flashback)
"Uum…excuse me Sir, where is the castle of Adrian Tepes? (Kristina)
" No, no, no. Dat place ees curdsed. (Village man)
" Excuse me Miss, where is the castle of Adrian Tepes?" (John)
" No, I will not dell you." (Village woman)
Kristina pulls out a chain, one that has the family crest of the Belnades'.
" Oh deedr Gode. You are a memberd of dee Belnades family. I trust dee mark. Go up dee mountan just a beet until you deach dee gorge. Dhere shood be a wooden breegde across. You can't see eet dooreeng dee day. Good luck, and dake dees witchu. (A crucifix)
When the sun began to set, the south towers of the castle appeared.
It was dark and gloomy as if no one had been inside in a hundred years. John began reading from a map that was totally different then the castle itself.
" This map makes no sense." John said, scratching his head.
" Well, that's cuz' this is Alucard's castle…the map is of Castlevania, Dracula's castle." Kristina corrected.
" Oh. I'm goin' up there." John said while looking up some steps.
" No, I'm comin' up with you." Kristina refused to let John go by himself.
Three demon bats came flying down. They were vampires, the size of a human, but with the inability to speak, and dreadfully demonic features. They knocked John down and attacked Kristina. She kicked one in the face and pinned it to the wall, sending his body into oblivion, leaving no more than the lifeless skeleton. Suddenly, the other two set on fire and their skeletons dropped to the floor, shattering into pieces. Alucard came walking down, his cape flowing all around him.
" Well, I'm surprised you made it." Alucard sarcastically said.
" Jesus." Kristina stated, " Would you stop being sooo sarcastic?"
" I could be." He responded," and so I will."
" Why isn't your father here?" Kristina asked Alucard.
" Well, he wouldn't be here, and he has bigger plans than to deal with some measly slayers."
" Then why'd he go to Sunny dale?" Kristina continued her questioning.
" He was looking for the Orb of Theisan. It's a destructive magical weapon. And Sunny dale sits on a hellmouth; it's easy to find it there."
" Any magic weapon?" John asked.
" Yes, any magic weapon." Alucard materialized behind John and backhanded him in the face. Kristina thrust Alular in the backside, sending him toppling over. She picked him up, pushed him against the wall, and plunged a stake through his heart. He vaporized into a red mist (like his father, but red) and headed up the steps.
" I was reading these gypsy hieroglyphs from the wall." John explained to Kristina. " It says that he can't be killed normally, that you need the Alcarde spear to ki-"
" Yeah, I know. Dracula explained it to me." Kristina explained.
" Then why didn't you tell us Kris? We could've used it."
" Well I didn't think we'd need it." Kristina confessed. " Alucard had fought Dracula twice, but now he's helping him. I don't know why."
Kristina and John left the castle and got into Kristina's car. Kristina told John everything, from Sonia Belmont to John Morris. He now knew why Kristina wouldn't tell them about the Alcarde spear. He picked up his cell phone and called Madden, telling him to have the spear delivered to Castlevania.
Soon, the curse of Dracula had begun. Zombies, skeletons, and other demonic creatures had been raising the world over, all under the Count's control, hence leaving it to the consul to combat them.
John and Kristina were unable to reach the castle in day, leaving the only choice to go in at night, unfortunately when Dracula's power was at its peak. He was to raise Theisan's army of shadow demons, Death's army of the undead, and seal the curse.
Upon their arrival at Castlevania, the zombies of the Belmont family greeted them. It had seemed as if the Dark prince enslaved all those who had previously challenged him. He enslaved the powerful bodies of Sonia, Trevor, Christopher, Soleiyu, the slayer, Simon, and Richter Belmont. Simon looked exactly like John, perhaps John from a prior life. There were also others, Maria Renard, Hugh Baldwin, Nathan Graves, the werewolf Cornell, Henry Oldrey, Carrie Fernandez, Reinhart Schneider, Jonathan Harker, Quincy Morris, Natalie Fernandez (a slayer), Quincy's son John, and Eric Lecarde (a previous slayer that looked exactly like William, again, perhaps from a previous life). Camilla began walking down the steps from the tower; she was holding hands with Alucard. Kristina and John watched Alucard and Camilla engage in a disgusting make-out. They stopped kissing, and overlooked the legions of enslaved vampire slayers and killers. They engaged in a kiss once more. Alucard waved his hand, a sign of approval for the zombies to attack.
Sonia and Kristina began to brawl. Sonia struck Kristina in the face, sending her flying onto the banquet table. John drew his sword and thrust it through Sonia's back. Simon, to aid her, grabbed John's arm, and heaved it back, cracking his shoulder. Kristina flipped backward off the table, clinging onto the tapestry and pulling it off the wall. She threw it in the air, enveloping Richter, Soleiyu, Christopher, and Trevor Belmont. She then drew a torch off the wall and tossed it on the tapestry, setting it on fire. The four zombies struggled and set ablaze. Soon, the zombies burned into ash and blew out from under the tapestry. Putting a sword through her back hadn't defeated Sonia; to be destroyed, a zombie needs to be burned. She kicked Kristina in the side of her head and sent her collapsing over. Meanwhile, Maria Renard was battling John. She struck him in the face and punched him in the chest, knocking him backwards into the hard stone wall. On the other side of the banquet hall, Kristina flipped Sonia over onto the lengthy table and lit her on fire with a torch, her entire body exploded into dust.
Soon, all the zombies began attacking. John pulled out the Belmont holy whip that was locked in Alucard's tower and set it ablaze. He held the whip in one hand and a torch in the other. Harker came running at him. John lashed out with the whip, wrapped it around Harker's head and snapped it back, burning him into nothing.
Easton came running up the steps from the lower floor. With him was the Alcarde spear. This was the only tool other than fire with the power to destroy zombies. Maria, the leading zombie, stood and observed the combat. Easton rushed at her with the spear, and plunged it through the area where her heart was. She burst into dust as with the others. Kristina took the torch from John and set Hugh Baldwin on fire. John, still with the whip, burnt Simon Belmont into ash. Easton forced the Alcarde spear through Quincy Morris's heart and watched as he exploded into dust. Schneider attacked Kristina but to no avail, she set him on fire. Carrie Fernandez blasted a magic energy ball at her. It connected and blew the slayer back into the wall. Easton kicked her in the backside. When she fell to the hard stone floor, Easton forced the spear through her heart. Cornell transformed into a werewolf and tackled John. He drove a silver stake through the wolf's heart (both vampires and werewolves are powerless to silver, werewolves more so). He burst into a torrent of mucus and slime. Meanwhile, Easton cut through Natalie Fernandez's heart with the spear. John got up off the floor, and swung the burning whip around Grave's head, and burnt him into ash. Now there were three left: John Morris, Eric Lecarde, and Henry Oldrey. John wrapped the holy whip around Morris's head and pulled it off. Easton shoved Lecarde's very own weapon, the Alcarde spear, through his chest and Kristina lit Henry on fire, destroying the last of Dracula's zombies.
Alucard and Camilla, who were still kissing, finally stopped. They both dispersed into swarms of bats and appeared in front of Kristina and John. (I have to clear something up, not all vampires can change into bats, wolves, etc. Only those that have learned to, or the nosferatu, practically immortal vampires.)
Camilla appeared in front of Kristina, and Alucard before John. Camilla held Kristina's face in her hand. She gave her a small kiss on the lips (remember she's bisexual? hehe). She hit the vampire across the face. John heard the sound of some helicopters leaving. Then, some consul soldiers ran up the stairs into the hall. Help had arrived. Alucard blasted a number of them with a fireball, barely killing a fourth of them. He and Camilla changed into mist and traveled up the flight of steps, into the tower. Kristina dashed up the steps to the tower, trying to get into the locked steel door.
Suddenly, the room became pitch black and the only light was a ball in front of the stairs. It exploded and soon there were ninja-like creatures all over the banquet hall. Theisan's army of shadow demons. The consul soldiers pulled out axes, daggers, and swords, ready for a possible apocalypse. Soon, everyone engaged in battle, with the exception of the three slayers. John, James, and Kristina still tried to gain entry to the tower.
" When are vampires ever gonna' stick to just drinkin' blood for God's sake?" Kristina sighed in frustration.
" Dunno." John answered." But when that day comes, I'll be one happy son of a b----."
Kristina closed her eyes for a moment and pointed her hand at the door. " Makri tuveos!!" She commanded, blowing the locked door violently open. She walked in alone. " You guys comin'?" John nodded. " What about you Jim?" she asked.
"No." he responded," They'll need me down here." He handed John the Alcarde spear, as he could use it against both Dracula and Alucard. John also handed Easton the holy whip. " For all it's worth, it's been great workin' with you guys. I'll see you if and when this is all over."
" See ya'." Kristina said before walking through the door with John. The room was empty, with a door leading out to a balcony.
Out on the balcony, a blood red moon shone overhead. The balcony had crystal clear water on either side, with a long staircase leading up to the castle keep, where Dracula's throne and coffin were.
Kristina walked slowly up the elegant staircase, afraid of what was to come; knowing that any one-minute could be her last. John, who was walking behind her with the spear, walked in front of her, considering that her hands were trembling in fear.
" When this is over, you wanna' go out for dinner?" John wanted her to cheer up, with the assurance that this would be over.
" Yeah, sure." She agreed, a twinge of fright in her voice.
Camilla stood at the base of the staircase. " Do not be so assured slayers, you will not prevail."
" That's what you think lesbo." John walked slowly down the steps with the spear in an attack position.
" 'Tis what I know." Camilla drew her finger in a seductive motion.
John ran at her with the Alcarde spear. He thrust it at her, but she grabbed it and flipped him over into the stone hard walls of the castle. Kristina helped him. She focused on her hands as she watched an energy ball form. " Bolfares Vulcanis!!" A wave of energy burst from her hands, down at Camilla, throwing her back into the wall. John was just getting up and thrust the spear through her heart. She blew into dust while letting out a horrific, agonizing scream.
Alucard came out from the lower tower, his eyes blazing red. " You're gonna' wish you'd never done that." He drew his hand back, and formed a hellishly red ball of fire. The ball blasted out, blowing Kristina back. John came from behind him, but Alucard thrust his leg back, pushing him back into the wall once more.
Kristina's eyes began to glow white. " Entyu Levitoyus." The Alcarde spear began floating in the air. " Makri tuveos!!" She commanded once more, telekinetically thrusting it through his heart. He was not dead yet. John got up off the floor and grabbed the spear in the vampire's back. He flipped Alucard over the railing and watched him scatter into dust.
Kristina continued walking up the staircase, towards the tower, closer to her doom.
Meanwhile, down in the banquet hall, the battle between the vampire hunters and shadow demons still raged. James flipped up onto the banquet table. A shadow demon did the same. Easton backhanded it in the face; it backhanded him in the face, knocking his head off.
Back up on the balcony, Kristina walked slowly up the steps. John reached the top before Kristina. He slowly opened the door into the castle keep. It was beautiful, with a certain eerie charm to it. There was a blood red carpet, stain glass windows, a throne, coffin, and another banquet table.
Kristina drew a breath, still afraid. John held onto her hand, just to give her a sense of security and trust. Suddenly, the whole room changed color as red rays of light shot through the two windows.
A swirl of red mist began forming above the throne. Dracula was ready for a battle, no matter how high the stakes. He formed in the throne, his cape flowing around him. On the sides of the throne, there were heads, demonic heads. They looked like somewhat like demon bats.
" You're gonna' die Dracula." John lifted the spear. " You steal men's souls and enslave them. This world doesn't need you."
" Perhaps could be said of all religions." The count rolled his fingers across the arm on the throne and got up. He walked to the banquet table and poured himself a glass of whine," It is by mortal hand that I am once again given flesh, not my own. This world brought me back, and so I shall give it what it truly desires. I am merely a savior for the people." He then began drinking.
" You're not a savior." John walked toward the end of the table where Dracula was sitting. " You're gonna' die tonight."
" And why do you believe this?" The count ascended from his chair, placing the glass of whine on the table. " You are merely a man, but I, I am forever."
" I'm not a man, I'm a slayer, a vampire slayer, and you're a vampire."
" Do not be so assured slayer. I am not the vampire you think of me as." Dracula lifted his hand and pointed it at John. " Believe me." The count's eyes turned a blazing red and John went soaring across the room.
Kristina ran at the vampire. She lifted the spear from the floor and charged him with it." This is for him!!!!" she thrust it through Dracula's heart, sending him into a wave of dust.
" This I cannot win." He said while reforming into a bodily form again,"Your friend was right; I cannot defeat you at the moment. And so I shall not try."
" I knew you wouldn't." Kristina flipped the Alcarde spear over.
" No. Trying is not an option in this." The count lifted his cape. " Tonight was the only night that I could seal the curse. So, it must get done tonight."
" You're one hundred percent right. And about to be one hundred percent dead too." Kristina kicked him in the face, chest, and finally in the…. ehem…. he fell over, clutching his crotch. He lay on the floor, but not for long…Kristina shot the spear into his heart, destroying him once more. But yet, not for long. A mist circled in front of the throne. It formed into the vampire." Will you ever just die?" She breathed heavily.
John got up off the floor, grasping his abdomen. He pulled out two daggers, flipped them over, and pinned both of Dracula's arms to the wall. Kristina pushed the Alcarde spear through his heart, ultimately crucifying him. A black energy burst forth from him, leaving his body fully intact.
On the other end of the room, a large beastly creature stood. Dracula's demonic soul had come out to battle, yet this was different from most other vampire's souls. It was a dark blue, with horrifyingly sharp teeth. It seemed bold and muscular with a short lizard-like tail. It opened its mouth and from it burst forth a blue energy ball. It hit the ground in front of Kristina and John, blasting them back into the wall. John took out his crucifix, trying to frighten the ten-foot tall creature. It let out a loud shriek and bolted to the further end of the room. John, remembering what he had read once, realized that Dracula was a nosferatu, and to annihilate the demon would require the obliteration of its heart. He ran to the motionless body of the count and tried to plunge the crucifix deep into the heart. The demon let out a horrific scream and hit him. He slid across the floor and slammed into
Kristina busted through the door of the keep, down the steps, into the lower tower, and back into the banquet hall. The battle lasted for a few more minutes, but then all was quiet. The shadow demons all exploded into balls of light and raced back into the shadows from whence they came. The soldiers began cheering and Conselors Benson and Madden ran into the banquet hall." We did it John." Kristina looked back at John still running from the keep, " We did it."
" I here you've been practicing your magic Kristine." Howard Benson complimented. " You blew open a magically sealed tower door without even touching it."
" Well, I guess I have, but I've been doin' a lot of stuff that I have no clue of or how to do." Kristina put her arm around John.
" Well, um…Kristina," Madden's voice became normal for once, without him yelling," You guys wanna' come for some coffee at the consul building?"
" You guys are dorks with no lives." Kristina laughed.
" Anyway, we have a date." John and Kristina exchanged a light kiss. They both began laughing and cheering as they walked down the steps, out of the hall. They had defeated Count Vladimir Tepes, prince of demons, a feat that so many others had tried to accomplish, yet so little could.
End?
