Castlevania

The Fight

It's a dark night, smoke filling the air from the war and the smell of blood all around. While soldiers from neighboring domains fight the battle on the battlefield, there is another battle going in the courtyard of a dark castle. Ruins everywhere and only a handful to fight. One slamming into the mountain next to the castle, a tall muscular soldier fully clothed in crimson red armor with silver trimmings with a large bladed whip as his weapon of choice. Simon Belmont, his armor creaks as he struggles to his feet and yells out, "Damnit!!! Eric hurry up with that spell! We don't have time for you to waste preparing!" Eric Lecarde, he is the warlock of the group. Blonde hair and blue eyes, hourglass figure but still boyish. His weapon of choice being his staff, it stands taller than himself with two red rings stacked at the top, a white wing on one side and a black on the other with golden spikes surrounding the center of the top ring. "I am going as fast as I can! Hold him a little longer!!" The warriors have come to kill Dracula and take the castle and save a woman he has held captive in his dungeons, but not just any woman, he has made a child with her who fights along side the others. Alucard, half human and half vampire, he stands tall with white waved hair past his waist and skin pale almost as snow. He has teamed up with two Belmonts, vampire hunters. One, Simon and Trevor. Trevor stands taller than Simon with jet black hair and blue eyes, he has a slight rugged look and broad with a whip as well. Then there is Grant, his body wrapped in bandages and large metal bands around his thighs. The bandages covering his body up to his nose, only showing above his nose exposing his darting blue eyes and white hair and skin white as a ghost with a hole cut for his mouth. His chains rattling around the bottom of his torso with green studded shoulder pad armor and to of the same on his chest. His weapon of choice is two circular metal chacrams with spikes bellowing out of them all around, he has them tightly grasped in his long boney fingers. They have banned together despite the domain feuds between the races to take down master vampire Dracula after he enslaved Alucard's mother and tried till kill his own son, Alucard, while he sleeps. He has furiously ravaged the towns that surround the castle and has spurred war in his rampage. Dracula bursts through the doors to the courtyard sending more rubble into the air, tackling Alucard to the ground with no mercy. Alucard winces and fights back with all he has. Simon yells out, "Eric! Hurry! Grant, now! We have to, the spell isn't ready and he's to strong! He's going to kill Alucard!" Simon and Grant start running as hard as they can towards Dracula who is slashing Alucard all over with his long spiked out vampire nails. They nod to each other and Grant leaps to the air and claps his two weapons together and they start spinning with the spike turned outward like a wheel and Simon uses his whip to pull Dracula from Alucard while Grant crashes into him with his spiked wheel. Dracula narrows his eyes and let's out a roaring battle cry that booms through the air deafening and shoves Grant back hard enough to knock him into the mountain. Grant gasps, eyes wide at the blunt hit to his spine and falls to the ground stumbling to catch his footing. "Gah! I got him a little in the chest! Keep hitting there!" Breathing heavy he catches his balance, his tall lanky body hunched slightly. Simon grits his teeth and narrows his eyes, "Grant! Err, damn!" He darts straight for Dracula, "Damn you! This ends tonight for you!" He extends his spiked whip out, slashing Dracula in the chest where Grant managed to slice him. In a swift motion Dracula grips the whip and yanks Simon with it, flying into the air as high as he can in his damaged state. Dracula's hand bleeding from the whips spikes but completely unphased. Simon glances down to see them higher then the roof of the castle and his eyes widen. Dracula screeches, "No wretched Belmont, it shall end for you!!" Once he's a little higher he lets go of the whip and Simon plummets down and he closes his eyes bracing himself as his life flashes. In that moment he feels death waiting, and at the last moment when he crashes it isn't to the ground. Grant has leaped over and cought him and they both fly back leaving a body sized dent in the ground and they both gasp at the impact leaving them almost breathless. Trevor's eyes dart back, "Simon!!!! Grant!!!" He grits his teeth but runs to Alucard, "Get up, we have to end this. You are half vampire you can follow him up and take me with you." Alucard gets up to his feet, stumbling a moment and nods, wiping the blood from his mouth. He grabs Trevor and they sore up in the air darting straight for Dracula. He throws Trevor up and he extends his whip and it wraps around Dracula's waist and he yanks him down. They both plummet down and Alucard follows to grab Trevor before the bottom. Dracula smashes into the ground and leaves a deep crater in the ground. Alucard lands safely with Trevor and they both catch a breath and run to the opening in the ground. Eric yells out, "It's ready!! I apologise for the wait." Eric holds his staff up in the air and inhales deep and summons a summoning circle around the craters bottom where Dracula is laying. It opens a hole to Hell under Dracula and hot wind comes out pushing all three of them back a little. Eric yells, pushing forward, "We have to push him down before he wakes up!" Alucard narrows his eyes and darts down and with both feet he pushes Dracula down as hard as he can, his hair flowing up over his head like a silk river and he flies out at the last moment before it closes. The hole swallows Dracula and there is one last bang under the ground from his furry before complete silence falls. Huffy, they all collapse to the ground breathing hard. Trevor suddenly bolts to his feet and darts for Simon and Grant, "Simon! Grant! Damnit.." he kneels down and checks for a pulse, and his eyes widen, "It's faint but they are both still alive! Eric, can you heal!!?" Eric rushes over, "I..., A little but I haven't had much training with healing." Trevor grips his shoulders and looks him dead in the eyes, "Do it! You have to at least what you know or they will both Die!" Eric stands in shock and nods slowly. He kneels down and places a hand on each of them and closes his eyes as a small blue light swirls from his hands. Trevor watches intensely, "Come on..., They have to wake up... Eric come on... You train everyday!" A tear sheds from Eric's eye, "I'm trying! My father forces me to train and is very abusive, he teaches me attack not this!" His eyes suddenly widen, "No.. I .. I can feel them...slipping.., no. No!" In that moment his eyes glow blue and the light bursts from his palms into them and when the light fades Eric falls, fainted. A moment later Simon and Grant wince and their fingers half curl. Simon opens his eyes and is breathless, "Nn...Grant?.. huh huh... Trevor? D..did we win?.." Trevor nods, "Yes, Eric managed to open the portal.." in relief Simon lays his head back. And thus the Rein of Dracula comes to a halting end. And there's bow peace between the races. A couple years pass and Alucard and his mother Elizabeth have rebuilt the castle in peace.
