A New Identity
Transylvania, Romania
Two Years Later
Castle Dracula appears to be shrouded in shadows and Darkness. Looking closer one is able to see that there is a single light on in one of the rooms. Looking throughout the inside of the castle one is able to see centuries worth of dust on the floors and walls. One also sees several sets of footprints leading upstairs but never leaving. Traveling further into the castle one can see that the footprints lead up a set of stairs, Leading to the room in which the light is on. –The Master bedroom. Going into the room one can see several men standing around the single bed with an unmoving body on it. Moving closer one notices that this body belongs to Tatsumaru. He is the second son to Tetsumaru and June. Tetsumaru believes Tatsumaru is dead after their long fight. Only a few, however know the truth. At the moment Tatsumaru's followers are trying to restore him to his own body.
"How much longer must I wait for my body?" Tatsumaru speaks through Abel, impatiently. Abel took over Tatsumaru's body once again.
"A little while longer, Lord Tatsumaru. I promise."
"You might have to wait another year," Reigo mutters. Tatsumaru overheard Reigo.
"WHAT? NO! I CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER! I WANT MY REVENGE! AND I WANT IT NOW!"
"Patience, Tatsumaru. You will get your revenge soon enough," said Vladislous.
"If you want to fool your father, we have got to change your appearance and name." Tatsumaru becomes curious.
"Mmmm? Why?" Myotismaru looks at Abel.
"If we change your appearance and name, we might be able to sneak you into the Japanese Palace without your father suspecting something." Tatsumaru becomes giddy.
"OHH! I LIKE IT! LIKE IT!" Valdislous mutters with Romanian accent.
"Gee, no kidding," Vladislous mutters. "Anyway we have already thought up a name for you." Abel looks at Tatsumaru's body.
"Your new name will be Phantomheart."
"COOL! I LIKE THIS IDEA ALREADY!" Tatsumaru's soul leaves Abel's body. Reigo looks irritated.
"TATSUMARU, YOUR BODY IS NOT READY YET! GET BACK IN ABEL'S RIGHT NOW!" Sullenly, Tatsumaru retreats back into Abel's body. Reigo and the other three work together to complete Tatsumaru's new body.
The body has fair skin, long silver hair that goes to the lower back like Reigo's. The height of the body is about five foot ten inches. He does not have long nails or fangs to attack his enemies with. The body's eyes are not black, but brown like Tetsumaru's. The body is dressed in a loose dark blue shirt and black pants. The body is wearing blue arm bracers and black boots. The only thing Reigo left from Tatsumaru old body is the YinYang on his forehead and he still bares the twin Dark Swords.
Reigo looks up, with weariness in his old eyes.
"Tatsumaru, your new body is complete" Tatsumaru leaves Abel's body again.
"My name is Phantomheart now," Tatsumaru says as he enters his new body."Remember?" As Tatsumaru enters his new body a young man enters the room.
The man is cloaked in a dark black robe. The only visible part of his body is his face. His name is Donovan Baker, he has a full head of black hair, down to his shoulders in a pony tail. He has yellow eyes, thin lips, a small nose, and pale skin. On his right eye there is a pink and red scar where he was burned some years ago.
"Lord Reigo, we have a big problem!" Donovan speaks urgently. Reigo not facing Donovan
"What is it?" Donovan calms down.
"Tetsumaru Tenryu is coming and he wants to see his son's grave." Vladislous spoke in his Romanian accent.
"That should not be a problem." Donovan stands there shocked.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! LORD TATSUMARU IS NOT DEAD?" Reigo Finally facing the younger man.
"Yes, he is, he was killed by his father two years ago." This information comes like a shock to Donovan, who did not learn of Tatsumaru's death. There is a knock at the front door. It is Tetsumaru.
Reigo goes to the front door after going downstairs and opens the door for his son. Tatsumaru, Vladislous, Donovan, Abel, and Myotismaru follow Reigo downstairs moving slowly. Tetsumaru stood with sadness raking him.
"Can I see Tatsumaru's grave?" Tatsumaru stands there calmly glaring at his father.
"Sure, please follow me." Tatsumaru leaves the main hallway and heads outside. He then goes to the backyard, finally, to the spot where Reigo buried Tatsumaru's body. Tetsumaru gasps at the sight of the grave stone and begins to cry
The Gravestone says:
Rest in Peace
Tatsumaru Lee Tenryu
1600-1632
The beloved Count of Romania
Tetsumaru is dressed in a black suit with black hand gloves on {instead of his usual red gloves}, black boots, and a white shirt on under the suit jacket. He has his black hair pulled back Tetsumaru has brown eyes and fair skin. On his face one is able to see five fine scars, left by Tatsumaru's claws. Tetsumaru's left arm is unusable. Plus there is a scar going from his right shoulder to naval. Tetsumaru looks at Tatsumaru and sees him staring at him.
"What the fuck are you looking at?" Tetsumaru speaks rather rudely.
"How did you get those scars on your face?" Tatsumaru plays innocent. Tetsumaru looked away from Tatsumaru.
"My second son scratched my face when we fought two years ago."
"I was told that you only had three sons." Tetsumaru narrowed his eyes.
"Well, whomever you got your information from informed you wrong. I have a son that is the same age as Tatsumaru; however I did not raise him, my brother, Lee, did." Tatsumaru stands there thinking.
Tatsumaru's thoughts: So I have a twin brother. Maybe since my idiot of a father went and separated us, is what actually caused this imbalance in the world? Tatsumaru looks at Tetsumaru again. "What happened to your left arm?"
"Tatsumaru took out my arm with his twin swords of Darkness in our fight two years ago. Now I am sorry I killed him…"
"Why then did you kill him? Did he do something wrong?"
"Yes, he tried to take over the world and he killed his own brother, Rikimaru during that time." Reigo looks at them.
"Other than visiting your son's grave, why are you here?" Tetsumaru is still looking at the gravestone.
"I brought Jinn here to see his brother's grave and Riku is coming too."
"Then where are they?" asked Donovan. Jinn walks down the path.
"I am right here, Donovan." Tatsumaru recognizes his baby brother.
"So what brings you here?" Tatsumaru asks Jinn. Jinn does not look at Tatsumaru.
"I came here to see Tatsumaru's grave, I do have the right, you know." Tatsumaru looks passed Jinn.
"And who may this be?" Tatsumaru asks. Both Jinn and Tetsumaru turned to face the path; they see Riku Tenryu walking towards the castle.
Riku is dressed in the robes of a Sorcerer. His short blue hair is blowing in the gentle breeze, he has blue eyes that are looking around the graveyard. His robes are blue as well, his boots are blue, and he is carrying a red staff, and he has somewhat fair skin. Riku looks at his father, then his brother, and finally Tatsumaru, where his gaze lingers for a brief moment. Riku talks to Tatsumaru through telepathy.
*"So, Tatsumaru, you are still living?"* Tatsumaru looks at his father.
*"Uncle Riku, you can see through my disguise? However you will not tell my father, will you?"* Jinn looks at Tatsumaru curiously and speaks to him through telepathically.
*"Tatsumaru, is that really you?"* Riku speaks through telepathy.
*"No, Jinn, it is not Tatsumaru, and besides he does not look anything like my nephew. Besides your father murdered him two years ago, remember?"*
"Alright Uncle Riku, I won't tell my father how I feel about Tatsumaru!" Jinn said out loud. Riku hits his forehead with his right hand. Tatsumaru stiffens. Tetsumaru looks at Jinn with anger in his eyes.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT TATSUMARU?! TELL ME NOW!" yelled Tetsumaru. Jinn stands there frightened.
"I KNOW NOTHING!" Tatsumaru steps forward to speak on Jinn's behalf.
"What Jinn is trying to say is that he is sorry to hear that Tatsumaru is dead." Jinn looks at him, grateful.
"Well Yes, I am sorry to hear of Tatsumaru's death." Tatsumaru speaks to Jinn through telepathy.
*"Jinn, do you wish to help Tatsumaru deal with your father?"* Jinn merely nods his head in response.
