Chapter 1: Richter Moves Quick

            Richter stood still while waiting for the loading screen to stop. He got ready to run.

All right, Richter thought, I've got one minute to dash up these stairs, grab the hearts, snag the holy water, and kill the Prince of Darkness without getting hurt at all, or Alucard won't get the stat boos- suddenly the loading screen stopped. Richter looked up and tapped forward twice just as it said in his Ultimate Castlevania: SFTCLS walkthrough guide. And then Richter fell on his face. Oh-No! Richter was losing precious extra stats for Alucard! Richter jumped up and dashed as fast as he could up the stairs and right into Dracula's room, without even stopping to get the hearts. Richter quickly skipped the dialog with Dracula and grabbed the Holy Water while Dracula was throwing down his magical wine glass of teleportation. Richter remembered that if he timed his "Hydro Storm" exactly right, Dracula's first form would be instantly destroyed. Now if only he could remember what the exact timing was…Oh-No! (Again) He had already missed it! Well, all he could do was use Hydro Storm anyway and hope he had enough hearts left for another use.

"HYDRO STORM!!!"

Rain rained down and hurt Dracula a little. Unfortunately, he then teleported and so escaped the main force of the attack. Dracula re-appeared, said something that sounded like "Ho-Ho-Ho" and then fired three fireballs at Richter. Richter knew from the walkthrough that the fireballs could be destroyed and Dracula hurt by a simple spin of the whip. Somehow though, the whip spin missed the bottom most fireball, leaving it free to hit Richter. It did impact, and Richter flew back some 10 feet. Richter quickly got up and yelled…

"HYDRO STORM!!!"

This time Dracula was caught by the full blast. His form began blurring and the Prince of Darkness said some thing that sounded like:

"Playtime's over! wLET wME GlOOOOw!!!!!!!"

Dracula then mutated into a giant bat monster thing. Richter was about to use Hydro Storm, but then realized that he was out of hearts. Richter sighed, put a clothespin on his nose, and ducked between the monster's legs and began hitting Dracula's legs repeatedly.

Eventually, Dracula burst into flames screaming:

"NO!!! THIS CANNOT BE!!! AGHHHhhhhhhhh…

            As the storyline played, Richter checked his timer. 15 minutes?!?! Alucard would kill him for this! Richter realized that the only way to avoid Alucard would be to trick Alucard into thinking he was being controlled by Shaft…
