Castlevania: ReBirth.
The characters from Castlevania belong to Konami.
Enter this dark world retelling the story of the first Castlevania with Simon Belmont as The Hero fighting the troops of the evil vampire, Vlad Dracula Tepes to stop them from invading Transylvania in this cursed Easter Night.
Though…
I expect you people to see some changes in the story, but not that major changes at all as it will still be the same Castlevania that started it all on 1986…
But enough talk, have at you!
Transylvania, April 12th, 1691.
The people of Transylvania have been living at peace after so many years, calm lives who no one would ever wish for them to stop as today is the Easter Day where they celebrate in family their lord and saviour Jesus of Nazareth ressurection from the dead.
But, even if the people celebrated this holy day there would be those who did not. Their hearts full of ill intentions and sins, the darkness lived in them without knowing… Not even knowing that there are people using it for their own, cruel, goals seeking for the end of peace and tranquility wanting only to see bloodshed and war take loose.
People who seek the manifestation of power in flesh… one that reappears after 100 years.
In a monastery outside the village there was being held a ritual with the most powerful of black magic to bring back a evil that has been slain a century ago.
The leader of the cult took the human, yet stll pumping, heart of a sinner in his hands to initiate the final parts of the ritual.
"I call upon you with the heart of a killer" He said conjuring over the top of the coffin they recovered in the graveyard.
"Bring these world to it's end! Cover it in fire and leave only ashes as the night reclaims what's rightly their own!" He began using force on the heart, starting to crush it.
"Come back to world of living incarnation of people darkness, revive 'o Prince of Darkness!"
"Lord Dracula!" And crushed the heart, the explosion of blood fell at top of the coffin.
Silence. They were keeping silence as the ritual held over finished but nothing has yet happened.
Patience was the key, it will only take a few seconds before the evil of this world given flesh ressurface from the dark pits of hell.
-Stop right there!- Someone shout at them in the entrance of the monastery.
A woman weilding a spear along troops came to the monastery after hearing from strange activity in the graveyard.
They entered to take down the cult, thinking they just arrived at the right moment to stop them from reviving Dracula.
How wrong they were…
The skies began to be taken over by the gray clouds as if a storm was coming, something a fool would only believe, strong hearing thunders began falling until the lighting came.
It striked through the ceiling and striked the coffin as well, taking by surprise the troops while the old cult just laughed as the ritual was succesful.
The woman just impaled the leader with her spear to shut him up.
Mist came out of the remains of the coffin, little by little it was becoming more dense filling the woman and the troops with dread, they believe they just have seen something, someone, standing up from the debris but the dense mist blocked their view.
"Haaaaaa!" Though looking bravery, was because of the fear, the soldier throw itself to the 'thing'that appeared.
They tried to stop him until it was too late as the poor fool was caught and his neck biten by a tall man, sucking his blood and leaving the man empty as dead.
"Vlad Dracula Tepes has been revived!"
Stood tall and menacing the supreme vampire and owner of the devil castle, Castlevania. The one who could transform into a bat, mist and a wolf trandformed into a bat and flew from there to his old domains after 100 years of being dead.
He would be there to see his army being prepared for the next attack to Transylvania.
Elsewhere…
In a mansion there was a young man preparing himself, a blonde, muscular, warrior that was wearing a brown leather armor that was being adjusted for his muscular body.
Serious determinstion could be seen in the man's blue eyes.
"So my time has finally arrived after so long" He said as he putted on his silver bracelets.
He went to the weapon's armery to pick up useful items that his ancestors used to destroy the creatures of the night like a flask filled with water blessed with a priest prayers, Holy Water, a big boomerang shaped in the form of the symbol of religion, Cross, small yet edged knifes made for throwing, the Dagger, and artifact in form of a clock with the power to stop time, the Stopwatch, and finally a big weapon with two cutting edges that has splitted in two so many monsters in the past, the Axe.
Yet one remained, the very same weapon that started it all back in the near end of the 1000's. The family treasure, the Vampire Killer whip.
"Time to fulfill our destiny" He talked to the weapon, speaking to the tragic soul inside of the weapon, both aware of they're role.
He leaved his house saying farewell to his parents, who will stay back praying to God for the safety of their son in his mission of destroying the darkness as dictated by their founder.
"Please dear Lord… Gave our Simon strenght and bring him back unharmed"
Castlevania, Transylvania.
The Prince of Darkness finally sitted on his throne with a glass of blood.
"My master… It's good to have you back" Said Death to his master, welcoming him back after one century since his defeat at the hands of Christopher and Soleylu Belmont back on the 1500's.
"Indeed Death, it's good to be back but …" He stopped in middle sentence, they both knew very well the concern on the Evil Lord.
"The Belmonts…" He still remembers the last fight with his old friend descendant, he had Christopher where he wanted him until his brat got him by surprise and stabbed him with the damned whip.
Cracks on his cup could be seen by the force he aplied within his hands for the anger he felt.
"Spies that our remaining forces send, been spying and delivered bad news sadly." He began telling him about the discoveries that might as well end up being in a bigger setup. "The last son of Belmont, Simon Belmont is a bigger menace than Trevor and Christopher were back in the day. Not only he has the whip but his strenght is outmatched and worst of all is that he right now is coming straight to the Castle."
And without the castle's teletransport mechanism they are doomed to face a Belmont with no way to escape, cursed Speaker.
"If that's the case then we need to strategize a plan" He stood up from his throne. "Bring forth our generals Death"
He did as he was told and invoked the generals that had been recluted, from the elite one who will be placed on the castle to defend it in case the Belmont defeats the ones in charge of the domain.
The Headless horseman, the Big Foot, the Specters, the Mermaid, the Golem, the Gargoyle, the Master of Ilussions in the domains.
The Monster Bat, the Ghost Couple, Frankestein, She-Wolf, Medusa, Dooplegänger and Death will stay to prepare the elite forces on the castle to storm the nearest village.
Once the strategy was over all of them were dismissed, though Dracula himself that wouldn't be enought to stop the Belmont.
He looked in the same crystal mirror he used to and writed with his claws an ancient text, in it was showed the so called prodigy Simon Belmont.
He sees determination on the man blue eyes, he can't lie that he sees a lot of Leon in this warrior, aside from obvious similarities between the two.
"Oh Leon… It would be horrible if something happened to him on this night… Like being cursed" No former tactian is fool enough to commit a mistake a third time, everyone has a trump card on their sleeves… even monsters.
Before leaving he wanted to check something first… something that caught his eye before leaving the monastery. He needed to check, on the road to his domains he saw that same woman alongside other hunters, they did not matter but the woman did.
It's a face he thought he would never see.
"Li…"
"My Lord! The Belmont has arrived to the entrance".
Domains entrance…
Standing outside from the entrance stood Simon looking the castle, his mission is about to start and he can't help but feel excited to finally accomplish his most biggest dream of becoming a legend just like his ancestors before him.
He took up the Vampire Killer and whiped the ground to show he is ready.
Tonight he will vanquish the darkness from this world.
To be continued…
