Dracula commences the battle and the orks begin to rampagously huddle towards us.

"Here they come!" Matthew cries out, crossing his swords with an Ork. I equip my sniper rifle and shoot the one closest to me. Anderson summons a wall of fire, distancing the orks from us and shouts, "We need a plan!"

"Yup, I did think of one when we arrived in here" Amber says rather foolishly.

We grab each other by our shoulder and form a six membered ring "Do you remember the trinity scythe? The one Sapphire failed to lift" Amber begins.

"What about it?" I ask.

"Well, I think that the trinity scythe's the only weapon that can penetrate through Dracula's defence!"

"Yeah, but he did mention that only the holder's descendants can use it" Matthew recalls.

"Or someone who is worthy enough" Amber adds in.

"But who?" Shu questions, being sarcastic. Amber kicks Shu's knee making him groan.

"Okay, okay! I was being sarcastic" Shu hastily apologizes, jumping on one foot "So, we create a distraction and you run for it"

"Exactly! And in the mean time, I need you guys to try finding his blind spots..."

She stops, her face now sullen and with a sense of fear "What lies in that scythe is a demon that killed it's own user. If I lose control over it as well, this might be the end..."

Matthew pats her back, "Sis, I know you can beat the hell out of that demon. And even if you fail, we've got your back. So try your best and so will we!"

"Thank you brother" She sighs. Now, we turn back as the orks break through the wall.

"Black Knights forever!" We roar, sprinting towards the orks with our weapons raised.

While the others fight the orks with tooth and nail, I trigger dracula who hasn't moved a spine since his last commemoration. Startled, I watch him slice the bullet using his bare claws. His reflexes are way beyond an ordinary human being or a monster! A horde of womions glide from the roof, blocking my view. He wouldn't be expecting me to shoot him with womions blocking our view!

I chant, "Galwch ar yr eryr cryf am ei lygaid o fydiad -Call upon the mighty eagle for his eyes of magnification". Being able to see beyond the wall of womions, I aim at Dracula once more. As soon as Anderson burns the womions to dust by his dazzling fire, I shoot Dracula from the underneath once more. But surprisingly, his reaction outwitts my plan. An acromantula appears in between and acts like a guard, blocking the bullet.

Matthew and Sarah tear through the battlefield and dash towards Dracula. They engage with dracula as he finally moves, blocking Matthew and Sarah simultaneously.

Dracula being distracted successfully, Amber decides to make her move. One step forward and suddenly a bunch of skeleton swordsman appear, blocking the corridor. Shu and I immediately shoot them down, forging a path for her. Amber tackles her way through the cobs and bones  and enter the corridor while we defend her from the incoming wave.

She dissappears on the next right as Shu and I push back the skeleton army who started to chase her. Now that Amber's been escorted to the room safely, I aim at Dracula once more, who's been holding all of Matthew's and Sarah's strikes. He dodges the bullet and counter's the other's attacks in the blink of an eye.

Dracula steps back and taunts, "Have you finished your job of sending your teammate to the gates of hell?"

"What do you mean?" Shu eyes, covering for her escape.
