The camera fades in to show the usual stage where Atomsk and TME host their stories… but something was off aside from all of the Halloween decor, Atomsk was there while he adjusts a pumpkin… but where was TME?
"Alright, there we go." Atomsk said after adjusting the pumpkin.
He's seen wearing Conner's Assassin's Creed outfit.
However, TME still hadn't appeared after a few minutes which was odd… he was normally here for the intros.
Atomsk looked around before speaking.
"Yo TME, where are you?" He asked before his question was answered when he heard chuckling from one side of the stage… but it wasn't TME's voice.
"Oh… he's a bit busy right now, so I figured I would… fill in for this." The voice said from off stage when the source of the voice approached.
Atomsk was spooked a bit from the voice before speaking.
"Uh who's there?" Atomsk questioned.
The Question was answered when a person appeared… and to mosts shock… it was the man in red… Bordux, the main villain of the Dimensional Saga and the supposed Antagonist of DDS who appeared with a grin on his face.
"Hello Atomsk…. I heard a lot about you…" Bordux said while he took a few more steps on stage with his arms behind his back.
Atomsk was shocked when he saw Bordux.
"B-Bordux? What are you doing you here?"Atomsk questioned.
Bordux just chuckles a few times before speaking up.
"Oh nothing much, just figured I drop in and see what you are doing since TME… is tied up right now at the moment." Bordux cryptically said while shrugging his arms.
Atomsk frowned before speaking.
"Where is he?"He questioned.
Bordux got a thoughtful look on his face before shrugging.
"He was actually dressing up as a vampire and was going to appear from a coffin, he was planning to portal it in here to spook you a bit but I used a bit of my magic to keep the lid closed for a bit and stuck in his room, no harm done to him of course but he won't appear for awhile… I'd… give him a chapter or two before the spell wears off." Bordux answered while he rubs his chin with a grin.
Atomsk facepalms before speaking.
"Damn. I have no choice but to wait then."
"Yep… so I figured I could join you as a host for now since I've been watching you two for a bit and the urge to act got too strong… perfect time to since this is a horror themed story for Halloween right?" Bordux said with an amused smile on his face.
Atomsk sighed before speaking.
"Alright. But do not cause any trouble, got it?" Atomsk asked with a narrowed look.
"Of course… though I would have had Aggro speak with you personally if you objected." Bordux said while pointing behind Atomsk.
Atomsk looked back to see said giant goon standing behind him with a wide grin on his face… how the hell did he get behind Atomsk without making a sound?
"How the bloody hell did you get here?" Atomsk questioned.
"Well, aside from a good distraction, Zetsu was also used to hide his presence, add the fact that this place was carpeted and you have a recipe for perfect stealth moment." Bordux said while he sat in TME's chair while Aggro chuckles when he walked around Atomsk which gave Atomsk a perfect view of said giant which showed that he was two to three times bigger than Atomsk was in height… and bulked out with serious muscle before he sat next to Bordux on the ground with crossed legs.
Atomsk sighed again before speaking.
"Whatever let's just get this over with since we have a deadline to get to." He said before looking to the readers.
"Welcome everyone to a new story called "Castlevania Dark Lust". I'm your host, Atomsk the Pirate King. And with me is the main villain of DDS, and whose name sounds like a wine bottle, Bordux." Atomsk said before pointing the spotlight at said villain.
Said villain waved his hand a bit before speaking up.
"Hello, I'm glade to make an appearance in the into alongside my right hand man Aggro here, anyway, this story takes place in an altered 1999 timelike where Lillum the succubus and Demonga the human shaped ultimate combat lifeform star instead of Emerald who takes a more backup like role here, the original time when Dracula was truly defeated… but as you got from the summery… this is a story where I intervene instead of just letting Demonga and Lillum do their own thing… I wonder what I have planned for the duo and their past selves… oh the ideas I have… and we have two others joining them in this adventure, Azure and Cedric of DDS." Bordux said while holding his arms out and a couple holograms appear which showed the two OC's in question.
"Yes exactly. Anyway until TME returns, enjoy the story. Deuces." Atomsk said before the scene shifts to Angel City at an unknown time after the original 1999 incident while Azure and Cedric were called to the Master Emerald Shrine for an unknown reason.
Angel City/ Master Emerald shrine/ Spirit, Azure, Cedric, ?
The Camera shifts to show Azure and Cedric, older than their DDS variants, while they talked when they saw the shrine in the middle of the city.
"Know anything about why we're being summoned?" Azure asked while she walked alongside Cedric with a thoughtful look on her face.
Azure's combat skills at this point in time have improved dramatically, her outfit was slightly different, jeans instead of shorts and her tanktop showed off more fur by being spaghetti straps instead, she now wore showed like Blaze's, but with a black and red color scheme, which gave her a slight height increase... she learned how to use her flames in close combat and other skills that made her more versatile in combat in an all around fashion, she had a gold ring on her middle finger which had multiple small fragments of Chaos Emeralds embedded in them…but that item on her would be explained later in more detail.
Cedric, who was walking beside Azure, was wearing a different outfit as well. He outfit is the more adult version of Cloud's outfit from "Advent Children". He also has a gold ring in his middle finger with multiple fragments of Chaos Emeralds embedded in it. His combat skills also improved during his stay in Angel City. He was able to have better control on his lightning powers. He's also seen carrying his dual bladed weapons that lock into one larger sword on his back while carrying his family sword to one of his sides while another weapon was seen on his other side.
"I don't know. But knowing Emerald, it must be important." Cedric said while Azure shrugs before speaking up again.
"Think it will be a new lesson?, he's been having us meet him there lately since new training areas opened up near the shrine." Azure said while she thought of a few buildings.
"Hmmm, could be. Hopefully it won't take long. Benjamin wants to do another battle with me." Cedric said.
"Not that I don't like the kid since he's our future son, but how come he didn't return to the future?, we never really got an answer for that one yet." Azure said with a thoughtful look on her face when she tried to remember if Ben said anything about his reason for staying.
Cedric was also thinking that too before speaking.
"Yeah I'm wondering that too. I mean if he wanted the sword, why not battle older me? Maybe there's something else that'll happen in the future that he's trying to prevent. Why not just tell us of the danger?" Cedric questioned.
"Like I would know… only thing I can think of is that he's hiding or something, maybe your older self and him had some kind of fight or maybe his pissed off a girlfriend or two and he's hiding out here… wouldn't surprise me since you still do things that tick me off… remember what happened when that ring nearly messed with your body and you had to get Cream's help… granted I had to do the same with Daniel a few times when ours started to act up but at least I was honest afterwards." Azure said while looking to Cedric with a teasing grin.
Said wolf blushed before speaking.
"Well technically Frost and Rose were the reasons we were in that situation remember?"
"True, downsides that cause us to… go around the block by force aside... you have to admit that these rings are handy… I mean you really enjoyed it when I got a few perks out of it remember?, I never saw you that relaxed in a long time." Azure teased while showing the ring with the glowing fragments.
Cedric chuckled before wrapping an arm around Azure's hip to bring her close.
"Relaxed or not, I'm happy we're still together after all that." He said before kissing her lips.
Azure returned the kiss for a moment before pushing away gently with an amused grin.
"Ok Romeo... mushiness aside, you do remember that I have to go around myself for my own limits since we can't get to much experience from one another remember? same as you with other women since this ring loves to screw with us… I mean there was those times with Guren and even your parents remember?, and there was those other guys who didn't match up with you." Azure said with a serious look on her face from a few forced moments for her in the past with other men when she had no choice.
Cedric, who's still holding Azure close, shuddered a bit at the memory before speaking.
"Yeah I remember." He said.
"Still, it at least shows that you inherited some things from your parents... interesting times those days were." Azure said with an amused tone when she put an arm on Cedric's arm.
"You got that right." Cedric said while Azure chuckles.
"Well, I think we should hurry now, or Emerald or the Spirit will get irritated." Azure said before she pulled herself from Cedric before looking to him with a challenging grin.
"Race you!" Azure said before her body glows with a green mist before she shot to the shrine before Cedric could react.
Cedric grins before emitting a green mist before calling out.
"You're on honey."He said before he shot to the shrine as well.
The duo arrived with Cedric passing Azure a few moments before they enter the room where the Master Emerald rests to see Demonga, Lillum, and the Spirit in the room alongside Ben who was sorta hidden next to Demonga while he was looking at the Master Emerald.
"Hey everyone what's up? And why are you hiding Ben?" Cedric asked which made Ben look to Cedric with confusion.
"I wasn't hiding Dad, I was looking at the Master Emerald since I rarely see it, I just happened to stand here." Ben said before he walked to Azure and Cedric while his form was seen, his outfit was different than his original look.
Ben Middleton, he's a cat like Azure but has the same facial look like Cedric. His fur matched his dad. His outfit is like Zack's from KH: Birth by Sleep. He's also carrying a katana that looks like Cedric's old one from the brotherhood.
Azure smiles a bit before approaching Ben and hugging him.
"Hey Ben, been awhile since I last saw you when I went on a training session with Emerald for a year… though hard to say since time doesn't really affect us, how have you been?" Azure asked when she pulled away.
Ben smiled before speaking.
"I'm doing fine mom. Just thought of visiting you and dad. Speaking of which, hey dad." Ben said before going over to hug his dad.
Cedric smiled before returning the hug before pulling away.
"Hi son." He said before Azure spoke up.
"So, aside from a visit, why are you here in the shrine exactly?, you could have visited us at our home." Azure said which made the spirit grin before it spoke up which got everyone's attention.
"I called him to be exact, Emerald is not here right now since I sent him on ahead… Bordux is up to something with a past mission of Lillum's and Demonga's and I called you here to give you a mission update." The Spirit said which got everyone's attention.
Cedric was shocked before speaking.
"What is that bastard up to?" He questioned.
"Simple, Demonga, Lillum, do you two remember your mission to Dracula's castle during the year of 1999?" The Spirit asked which caused Demonga to frown and Lillum to smile.
"Of course, I had a lot of fun with the monstrous beings there… and got a few friends that I can call for some… fun times." Lillum said with a teasing grin which showed where her thought process went like usual which made everyone sweatdrop before Demonga spoke up.
"... Indeed…" Demonga said before falling silent… it… seems he's more silent than normal.
Cedric, Azure and Ben sweatdrop before Cedric spoke.
"Okay...What happened during that mission?"
"First off, before I tell you it, here is what's going on right now with Emerald." The Spirit said before the Master Emerald shimmered before an image was seen with Emerald fighting some kind of Vampire who seemed to match Emerald by teleporting and using dark magic to try to harm Emerald in various ways which made Lillum and Demonga's eyes widen a bit in shock when they saw Bordux's crest on the vampire's forehead.
Cedric, Azure and Ben were shocked when they saw that before Cedric spoke.
"Oh my God. Bordux made the vampire stronger. Is that why you asked me and Azure to come here? You're gonna send us back in time?"
"Sort of... in a nutshell, I'll be sending Azure and Lillum, to aid the past Lillum and a woman named Yoko Belnades while Demonga and Cedric aid the past Demonga and a man named Alucard who is the half vampire half human, or Dhampir, son of Dracula and Ben aids a man named Julius, he's a vampire hunter who is a descendant of a family who has fought Dracula for centuries, Julius's family is called the Belmont clan, Unfortunately, Bordux has caused a Dimensional issue which caused three castles to be formed in the same space but in different times, Demonga and Alucard are in the past Castle, Lillum and Yoko are in the future Castle, and Julius is in the present castle, and Emerald himself is holding off Dracula himself but thanks to the irregularity of the three castles and the throne room being at the crux of all three irregularities, Dracula is invincible and Emerald is just holding him off." The Spirit explains with crossed arms.
"For Ben's magical backup, I've sent Frost and Rose ahead to Ben's area to wait for him." The Spirit explains to the group.
Cedric, Azure and Ben were shocked after hearing that while Ben blushed a bit when he remembered Frost and Rose from the future.
"Any Questions before I send you all off?, you'll be in separate areas then the past versions of yourselves for safety reasons and you'll only be able to shift castles when you hit certain areas of the castle that look like it has a giant clock in the room, I'll explain more as you all go through the castle, but for now…" The Spirit said before it waved it's hand nearby and a portal opens while clock gears circled it for effect.
Cedric did have a question.
"Um, what happens if Lillum and Demonga met their past selves?"
"I'll get to that in a bit when the four meet, no worries about anything bad though, this isn't the movies or games so no time paradox's or anything like that." The Spirit said with a relaxed grin on it's face.
"Will we get new forms?, and will I get into… certain situations with Mistress since this is Mistress we are talking about." Azure said while Lillum grins.
"A yep, I like to be a lover, not a fighter, so expect some monster sized love with me… and probably Ben as well since he's traveling with my daughter's." Lillum teased which made Azure blush brightly.
Ben also blushed brightly after hearing that.
Cedric mentally chuckled before speaking to his wife and future son.
"Alright be careful you two. I don't want nothing bad happening to either one of you." He said before kissing Azure for good luck on the lips.
Azure returned the kiss for a moment before pulling away with a grin on her face.
"Well then, good luck you two." Azure said before she ran to the gear portal before she vanished inside of it with Lillum sending a teasing grin to Cedric and Ben.
"Don't worry you two… I'll make sure Azy is taken care of… my time was more loving then Demonga's… speaking of which, serious moment to say good luck for you Cedy… you'll need it." Lillum teased before getting a slightly worried look at the end before she enters the portal before the portal shimmers before it changed color to show that it went to the past for Demonga's colors instead of the normal green color.
Cedric was a bit worried after hearing that before speaking.
"Something tells me I'm gonna need it." He said before looking at Ben.
"Be careful son. I don't want anything bad happening to you, understand?"
Ben nods before speaking.
"Don't worry dad. I'll be careful." He said with determination before bringing his hand to the katana's hilt.
Cedric smiled at his son before speaking.
"I'm proud of you Ben. But listen, whatever happen in the future, if I did anything to upset you… I'm sorry and always love you."
Ben was confused before speaking.
"I love you too dad. But you didn't do anything bad to me. You were a bit hard on me during our lessons, but I learn from my mistakes. Just like you did when grandpa taught you."
Cedric smiled again before speaking.
"That's true son. Now be careful and watch out for Frost and Rose. I know they're there in the future but still."
Ben blushed a bit before speaking.
"I know dad, I will."
Cedric nods before he entered Demonga's portal.
Demonga looked to Ben for a second with a cold look before he entered the Portal without saying anything which made the Spirit chuckles before looking to Ben when the Portal turns blue for Ben's Portal.
"Ready to time travel again Ben?" The Spirit said with an amused tone to the time traveler.
Ben was disturbed by the look before looking at Spirit.
"Ready." He said.
"Welp, good luck Ben… you'll need it…" the Spirit cryptically said before vanishing with the Portal being the only thing in the area now.
Ben took a deep breath while holding onto the katana before entering the portal while the scene fades to black when the time Portal closed.
The scene fades back in to show Atomsk, Bordux, and Aggro while it looked like Bordux had an amused look on his face from his plan.
"Hmhmhm… so Atomsk… how was the chapter to you?" Bordux asked with Aggro chuckling at the question.
"Hmmm, not bad. It was a nice intro. Everyone now knows that Cedric and Azure are married and we all got to see their future son." Atomsk said.
"Indeed, but since this is the prequel chapter, things are just starting out… I mean… there are horrors in the castle that they haven't seen yet… I can guarantee it." Bordux said with a grin on his face.
"I bet you do." Atomsk said before shaking his head.
"So Atomsk, any thoughts on the story so far?" Bordux said with an amused tone.
"Well it was interesting to see Cedric and Azure splitting with Lillum and Demonga. Who knew what the for will do when they meet the past versions. I'm also hoping Ben survives his trip with Frost and Rose since... you know ." Atomsk said while chuckling.
"Indeed, anyway Aggro and I should leave for now, but don't worry… we'll be back." Bordux said with a cryptic tone before a Portal opened behind Aggro before he got up and walked into it while Bordux got up from his seat and approached the Portal.
"Well see you next chapter then."Atomsk said before Bordux enters the Portal with a grin before it closed… to reveal a coffin behind it.
Atomsk sweatdrop since he knows who's in it.
He approached the coffin before pulling out the sword you get AC3 when entering the pyramid.
Atomsk cut the rope before stepping back a few to aloud TME to get out.
A moment later…. The coffin lid shut off and towards Atomsk with a energy encased fist grips the coffin edges with an angered aura emitting from the person inside.
Atomsk sweatdrop before speaking.
"Hey man glad you're here."
TME pulled himself free of the coffin with an angered look on his face before speaking up.
"Yeah… glad to be here for the outro… how was Bordux?" TME said with a irritated tone lacing his voice… and since he was wearing a surprisingly well put together vampire outfit… TME looked surprisingly scary with his glowing red eyes.
Atomsk was a bit spooked by that before speaking.
"Surprisingly, it went well. Though I'm worried when he comes back again for the next chapter."
"Yeah… I'm going to… stay away from coffins or anything body sized for now just in case." TME said after he slowly calmed down to think.
Atomsk nods to TME before speaking.
"Good idea."
"Yeah… I'll let you handle the rest while I read this chapter, I'm going to need to do that to make sure I can follow that madman's train of thought." TME said while he summoned the chapter in paper form before he starts reading it.
Atomsk nods to him before looking at the readers.
"Well while TME reads the script, the only thing I can say is that we hoped you enjoy reading the prologue and we'll see you next time. And don't worry, we'll keep our guard up when Bordux returns. Especailly TME. So see you next time. Deuces." Atomsk said with two fingers before the scene fades black.
