Chapter 1: Darkness: The Half-Vampire and the Girl Who is Misplaced in Time
-Prologue-
Men of future generations, listen now,
Darkness heralds the return of the Lord of Darkness, Dracula,

And armed with a righteous might and love of a girl from the future, will cut through the darkness, restoring peace and tranquility,
Heed those words and await our Saviors.
-Simon Belmont, 1691
-October 25. 1797, Dracula's Castle-
Bridget Verdant, a 13 year old girl with short green hair, glasses, wearing a white long sleeve shirt which has buttons, a green jacket, black long pants and brown shoes who is secretly one of Earth's defenders, the Mew Mews groaned as she slowly got up and rubbed her head. Her other hand felt a rocky surface. Curious, she looked down to see that the floor was made of concrete, old concrete to be exact.
"W-What on earth?" Bridget murmured in confusion as she slowly rose up from the cold hard ground and surveyed her surroundings.
From the looks of it, she seems to be in some dark corridor, possibly a castle or something. She got the castle part right when she looked out the window and saw the moon shining down through it. She also saw a large forest and the clouds looked cloudy and lightning can be seen coming out of them.
"I don't remember being in an old English castle…" Bridget whispered softly as she tried to think.
Okay, she was at Café Mew Mew, giving ideas for the café's big Halloween party on October 31st. She suggested a costume party and everyone agreed, saying it's a good idea. She then went home and got some sewing materials to make her costume, problem is… she hasn't thought of one yet. So she spent all night trying to think up a perfect costume, she yawned and it was way past her bedtime, so she laid her head on her table after putting the sewing materials to a safe place, she slept in her clothes and to have her body clock wake her up for school and work. …And now she's here in this strange castle.
"Okay, you're in a spooky castle in the middle of nowhere with no explanation on how you got here…" Bridget said silently to herself as she tried to use her smart brain to figure out how to get out of this mess… An idea came to her. "I know. I'll call for help." Bridget got out her iPhone and began dialing Elliot's number. He has connections with long range travels.
However, after she finished dialing Elliot's number, all she got was a beeping noise, indicating that there is no phone lines or a satellite in space that can pick up a signal. Sighing to herself, she put up her iPhone and began to wonder on what to do.
"…Perhaps I can explore this castle to find a way out of here?" Bridget wondered as she began walking down the dark and sinister corridors to find a way back home.
She soon came up to a stairway and figured it must lead to the upper areas of this castle. However, before she can ascend on these stairs, she heard demonic and sinster voices from above. She hid behind a pillar and peeked out from behind the pillar and saw something that made her eyes widen in surprise.
A walking skeleton with a sword and shield was talking with a living suit of armor with a axe.
"The master requires the girl from the modern era in order for the Master Plan to commenced, correct?" The skeleton asked his cohort.
"I don't really understand it, but yes, Lord Death said that girl is the key to the Master Plan. We might have dragged in people from other realms, but that girl from our world in the modern era is our top priority. We also get to kill those heroes from the other realms as a bonus." The armor nodded.
"But why the trouble for one girl? Can we kidnap some other girl in our era so we can commence the Master Plan?" The skeleton mumbled in aggravation.
"No." The armor shook his head. "The master said that the girl from the modern era has a special power in order to fulfil the Master Plan."
"Master Plan…?" Bridget whispered to herself, suddenly, some dust got in her nose. Bridget tried her best to not sneeze, but alas, she sneezed "Achoo!"
"What the hell was that?!" The skeleton yelled in alarm as the armor then notice the pillar of the stairs that Bridget was hiding in. With one swipe of its axe, the pillar was cut in two as Bridget forced to move out of her hiding spot and in the range of the two monsters.
"Just our luck. The girl that is needed for the Plan was right here all along." The armor said in a sinister tone of voice.
The skeleton let out a diabolical snicker and added "Yeah! The master would be pleased. Grab her!" The skeleton and armor walked slowly and evilly towards Bridget who was timid with fright,
What should Bridget do? She can transform, but she's too frighten to do so. She backed up against the wall and prayed that someone will come to her aid.
And her prayers were answered as the armor screamed in agony as he was cut in half by something so sharp and powerful.
That belonged to a man with white blond hair, wears 18th century style clothing. He wears a black colored jacket consisting of side seams held together by four square brooches that run down vertically, and a belt. Around his neck he wears a large white cravat. Over the jacket, the man wore a long overcoat with a decorative pattern. Over his other garments he also wears a cape. He is wielding a short medieval sword. And he has a cold personality to boot.
The skeleton immediately recognized the man with an angry scowl. "Alucard!"
"Alu…card?" Bridget whispered softly in confusion.
The man known as Alucard pointed his sword at the skeleton and said in a stoic and cold tone "I have come here to destroy the lord of the castle and the castle itself so its evil would never again taint the world with its darkness. Tell me who the lord is and why are you trying to harm a girl and I might let you live…"
"Such pathetic words from a half-vampire who betrayed our Lord of Darkness and sided with the humans! And you're supposed to be our master's son, the next Lord of Darkness!" The skeleton let out a battle cry as he charged at Alucard with its sword, but the mysterious Alucard who is called a half-vampire swiftly dodged the skeleton's raging strikes and with one swing of his sword, he slashed at the skeleton's torso, killing it as the bones fell to the ground and burned.
"…" Bridget was speechless as she witness Alucard kill that skeleton in one quick movement. Not to mention that he is also handsome to boot!
Alucard sheathed his sword and stared at Bridget for about a good thirty seconds before he asked "Little girl, who are you and what business you have here?"
"Um…" Bridget looked away bashfully. "My name is Bridget Verdant. I come from Tokyo, Japan."
Alucard was silent for about 15 seconds until he responded with "I have never heard of this Tokyo or Japan of which you speak."
"Huh?" Bridget was surprised that this Alucard person has never heard of one of the lands of the eight continents in the world. "But Japan is one of the islands that is part of Asia, one of the eight continents of the world. Don't you know that?"
"No…" Alucard shook his head no.
"This can't be… How could anyone don't know what Japan is? …Wait…" Bridget turned to Alucard to test a theory she may have a clue on where she is. "Alucard… If you don't mind me asking, but um… What year is this?"
Alucard gave Bridget a suspicious glare for about a minute before sighing and gave his answer to her.
"This is the year 1797 A.D. And you're in Transylvania, Romania…"
"Eh?!" Bridget was alarmed by this answer Alucard has given her. "1797? And this is Transylvania, Romania?! The location of where the fictional character, Count Dracula was born?!"
That made Alucard scowled even more. "What are you talking about, girl? Dracula is real and his evil is well known throughout the land."
"Okay, I'm confused right now." Bridget placed her hand on her head to avoid getting an headache. "So, this is 1797 and I'm in Transylvania, the home of Dracula, but he's real? But I thought he is a novel character and movie character as well…"
"I don't have time for this…" Alucard growled softly as he walked up the stairs.
"Nani?! Wait, Alucard!" Bridget started to follow her mysterious savior up the stairs.
As the two of them walked up the stairs, Bridget decided to tell Alucard about her predicament.
"Um, Alucard…" Bridget started to say.
"Mhm?" Alucard grunted, showing that he is listening.
"I may sound crazy, but the clothes you're wearing… they're different from mine."
"And what are you implying?" Alucard asked sharply.
"I'm from the future and I somehow was transported into this era. And you said Dracula's evil is well known in Romania. What did he do and how did he become evil?"
Alucard was silent for a moment before he sighed and began explaining.
"Dracula is the Lord of Darkness, master of many monsters and he wants to conquer this world and wipe out every mortal human that stands in his way. Dracula was once human until he discovered a certain stone back in 1094."
"A certain stone…?" Bridget murmured in skepticism.
"This stone corrupts whoever touches it, and sadly, Dracula was consumed by its evil and became the monstrous cur he is. But the Belmont clan, a family of vampire hunters used a sacred whip called the Vampire Killer to battle Dracula's forces and banish Dracula."
"That's good. The Belmont clan must be really noble people." Bridget smiled slightly.
"Unfortunately, due to the stone that turn Dracula into the Lord of Darkness, Dracula comes back from the dead at almost every hundred years, so the Vampire Killer is passed down to the next generation of Belmonts to battle Dracula every hundred years." Alucard lamented with a sigh.
"That's scary… So Dracula is real and he comes back every hundred years… I hope he doesn't come back in my era." Bridget looked down despondently.
"Not to worry, after I awoke from my slumber, I heard that Dracula was defeated by a Belmont of this era, but he disappeared after his defeat." Alucard stopped to think for a moment. "But why did Dracula's castle come back? A hundred years hasn't passed and it has a new reincarnation… Something is very wrong here."
Bridget then remembered something the skeleton and armor were talking about before Alucard killed them.
"Wait… Those monsters you killed… I overheard them talking about some Master Plan."
"Master Plan?" Alucard turned to Bridget with a questionable glare.
"Yes. They said the Master Plan requires a girl from the modern era and I bet they were referring to me. So whoever their master is, they want me in order to fulfill this Master Plan. I have a funny feeling this Master Plan is something bad." Bridget told him.
"I see…" Alucard nodded thoroughly. "Perhaps it is destiny that we meet. Stay close to me and do not get in my way. I will protect you from the monsters of the castle."
"It's okay, I know how to fight. Though, I will show you later." Bridget bowed in gratitude as the two of them entered the next area.
It was a lab of some kind. A really big medieval lab. The sight of it almost made Bridget drool at the fine and classic equipment.
"This must be the Alchemy Laboratory. It looked different from last time." Alucard mused as the odd duo pressed forward.
Bridget looked at the mony creatures in test tubes and asked Alucard "I wonder why the monsters are preforming experiments in this laboratory?"
"Probably to create an army to turn the world into a living hell…" Alucard answered with a frown, indicating that he doesn't like the lab being used for evil.
"I-I see… Well, maybe we can find something that can get me back to my era, or not…" Bridget laughed nervously. Suddenly, the two of them heard some fighting coming from the next room. "Alucard, hear that?"
Alucard nodded slowly as he dashed towards the room, Bridget silently followed him.
When they entered the next room, they saw a 18 year old girl with dark blue hair, wearing high tech armor and her weapon is a katana, slashing trough skeleton soldiers left and right.
"That girl is in trouble! We have to help her!" Bridget covered her mouth in shock.
"…She can take care of herself…" Alucard frowned deeper.
"Please Alucard!" Bridget turned to Alucard, clasp her hands together and looked at him with a pleading look.
Alucard stared into Bridget's eyes. …Those eyes… they reminded him of his mother… Perhaps his deceased mother also asked him to help people in need. Damn it, now Bridget has got him thinking about his mother!
"…Fine…" Alucard frowned again as he dashed towards the skeletons and used his sword to slash through the skeletons.
The woman yelled as she used her katana to slash a skeleton's head off. Alucard did a horizontal slash on another skeleton and vertically cut the final skeleton.
The woman then clashed with Alucard and shouting "Who are you?! Are you one of those monsters?!"
Alucard didn't say anything as he continue to parry the girl's rapid katana attacks.
"Wait!" Bridget called out as she ran up to the two after her voice stopped them from fighting. "Alucard is a good person! He saved my life and he saved yours as well! He may look like a bad guy, but he's a kind person who never turn down people in need." Alucard couldn't help but smile a little. Bridget looks and acts like her mother.
"Is that so?" The blue haired girl finally understand Alucard's good nature and lowered her katana. "You have my thanks, Sir Alucard. My name is Tsubasa Kazani." The girl known as Tsubasa then changed into what looked like a school girl outfit, a modern day uniform.
"So Miss Kazani…" Bridget started to say, before Tsubasa raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Please, call me Tsubasa."
"Right. Tsubasa… What are you doing here in Transylvania, Romania, 1797?"
"So that's where I am… and the home of the fictional character, Count Dracula, but this doesn't look like anything from my world…" Tsubasa looked and surveyed her surroundings, this looked alien to her. "It doesn't look like a Noise's work to me."
"What noise?" Bridget asked innocently.
"It's kinda complicated, but it would best if we get to a safe place to discuss this. Also, I'm looking for someone." Tsubasa went through her purse and got a picture of a 14 year old girl with cream colored hair, cream colored eyes and smiling. She also wore the same outfit as Tsubasa. "Have you seen her and another friend of mine? We were walking home from school when this thunderstorm appeared and a bright light engulfed us. That light have separated us and now I woke up in this dark castle to find them. Her name is Hibiki Tachibana. She's a good girl, even though she's naïve and headstrong, but she's a good friend of mine."
"…I know where to find a safe place to talk more. And I need to rest. Due to the evil influence of this castle, it will always be nighttime and it feels like time has stopped…" Alucard then gestured to a room not far from their location. The two girls nodded in agreement as the three of them entered the room.
It was a nice room, well if you don't count the coffin in the center. Bridget looked at the coffin and turned to Alucard for an explanation.
"This coffin will restore you strength?"
Alucard nodded and told her "I still have plenty of energy, but I need to rest for the coming trials ahead. You two should rest as well." Alucard then opened the lid of the coffin and stepped into it and closed the lid.
Tsubasa turned to Bridget and asked "Bridget, was it? Who… exactly is Alucard? I find it odd that he choose a place to restore his energy…"
"I'm not really sure myself. But he's nice and he came to my rescue when I arrived in the past. Plus, he's the one who told me that Dracula is real and his evil was well known here." Bridget closed her eyes and smiled.
"I see… I always thought of Dracula as a fictional character in the novels, TV and movies. But something still bothers me about Alucard…"
"Hmm?" Bridget looked up to face Tsubasa with a curious glance.
"Like… what is his connection with Dracula and how does he know that Dracula in this world comes back every hundred years to wreak havoc on humans? It doesn't make any sense at all." Tsubasa shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"But I felt relived with Alucard here. Plus, I bet he can help us get back to our worlds and timelines. So you can trust him." Bridget reassured her new friend with a smile.
"Well… okay. But I'll be keeping an eye on him for now and if he tries anything funny like biting our necks and turning us into vampires." Tsubasa then walked over to the wall and sat down to rest.
"I don't get Alucard's history, but he's a really nice person. Plus, I wonder what the Belmont of this generation looks like. I hope I can meet a Belmont after this is all over." Bridget smiled softly as she sat down and closed her eyes to rest as well.
In the coffin, Alucard was resting so he can regain his full strength. But in his thoughts…
'Damn you girl, making me slowly fall in love with you… I will protect you from the dangers of this castle. I hope you and whoever arrives in this world won't find out I am the son of my accursed father, Dracula…'
To be continued…
Next chapter: The Female Super Soldier and the Mysterious Woman: More Allies To Fight the Darkness
A/N: So how was that? Also, the reason I have Alucard and Bridget's Japanese name Lettuce as the highlighted characters in the display of my fafnic is because the site still doesn't have the English names of Tokyo Mew Mew. So next time, the chapter will be even longer with three new characters joining Alucard's party, so stay tuned for more updates in this story. Also, I will continue this story even if October is over. See you soon.
