RWBY: Faith Restored (Book 1)

The King's Date

Beacon: After the Vytal Dance

It was the night after Dracula and Team RWBY discovered what the White Fang were planning. Dracula watched from up top the tallest tower in Castlevania. He looked at the dorm buildings then to the courtyard where Glynda and it looked like Carmilla speaking. With some glasses of wine. Another victim falls for Carmilla's seduction it seems. He chuckled then looked back at the city. It looked beautiful at night. Dracula looked up at the broken moon and wondered what caused it. His mind wandered back to last night....

FLASHBACK

Dracula hid in the darkness as a shadow in the ceiling corner so he could see everyone. He could see their skeletal structure along with their veins and hear their heartbeats. Many of their heartbeats were accelerating due to being nervous or anticipation. He saw Sun and Blake stand in the middle of the of the building and had a good advantage of the stage. A tall muscular man in a grimm mask different from all the others came and thanked everyone for coming. Dracula nearly cursed as he saw Roman come onto the stage. He used his cage to remain stable and had a bandage over his eye where Vlad scratched him. He spoke about moving to the southeast of Vale which placed them near Mountain Glenn as Vlad read up on the history and geography of Vale and the rest of Remnant. He growled then watched as Roman unveiled a large mech that originated from Atlas. Dracula growled lowly as he watched Roman finish up his speech and the large WF Lieutenant lead the new members to another room. Roman looked down and Dracula followed his line of sight to see Blake and Sun. They've been spotted. Luckily, Blake shot the power box and escaped through the window while Roman Torchwick climbed into the Paladin and chase them.

Dracula drifted across the ceiling and dropped down to the stage and roared like a monster at the recruits and the Lieutenant who was at the same height as Dracula clenched his fists and charged the King. Dracula grabbed the Lieutenant by his arms and stopped his charge and started closing his fists to break his arms. The Lieutenant growled in pain as the aura was slowly cracking under the King's strength. The Lieutenant headbutted Dracula and kicked him by his chest. Dracula flew through the already opened wall and crashed through some large crates. He stood back up to see his opponent throw a hook at his face. Dracula pushed the fist away and used his palm to hit against his sternum, the aura broke and made the Lieutenant's ribs crack and shatter. The Lieutenant coughed as he felt his lungs being punctured by the broke ribs. He knelt down in pain and Dracula grabbed him by his helmet to pull him up to Dracula's line of sight.

The King of Vampires gave a smirk as he opened his mouth to reveal his fangs then bit down into the Lieutenant's neck. Blood splattered on Dracula's clothes along with the Lieutenant's as he desperately tried to pry Dracula off but slowly felt his strength leave until the Lieutenant's skin was unnaturally pale then no movement left. Dracula pulled his fangs away and threw the body back into the warehouse where he landed on the stage. The Blood King licked his lips to taste the last few drops of blood then looked to where the Paladin ran after Blake and Sun. He closed his eyes before concentrating and bones protruded out his back before spreading to reveal skeletal wings.

The wings held several strands of leathery skin but lots of holes. He flapped his wings and flew up high to look to where the fight was. He looked to see a tornado of roses race across a freeway then down underneath the roads. He flapped his wings again towards the freeway.

Yang had just launched herself using Blake's rope towards the Paladin piloted by Roman Torchwick to deliver a blow that shattered the Paladin. Roman landed on his stomach before standing up and muttered "Man, I just had this dry cleaned!" He stood up and Team RWBY saw the bandage "Hey Torchwick, where'd you get that bandage? Beowulf get you?" Yang quipped and Roman scowled before stopped as Team RWBY froze and looked behind him. Roman slowly turned around and before he could even see his face, he was backhanded towards a pillar and his back hit the stone which cracked. He was dazed a bit before shaking his head to clear his vision.
