Chapter 4: The Starfeld party
When Dracula and Liv made it back to the house, they were met with the sight of a group of people talking, drinking, and partying. The Darklord noticed that some of them were his fiancé's family, and Julius, but others he did not know. As he was looking around a pair of women came toward them. Both had long hair, but one was blond with gray eyes and the other was a brunette with brown eyes. The Blond woman wore a long skirt with a blue, long sleeved shirt, while the other wore jeans and a longsleeved red shirt. Liv spoke up, indicating to Dracula that she knew them.
"Sara, Lucy, I'm surprised to see you here!" she said, grinning. The brunette, Lucy, looked at the couple and smiled.
"Well, when I heard you got yourself engaged from your mom, I came over here as fast as I could from Egypt, the tomb of Akmodan II is nothing compared to a family friend's happiness!" The mention of the mummy minion of Dracula caused him to raise an eyebrow, but before he could say anything, Sara spoke up.
"And I came here from Florida with Emma and Ally when I heard, the girls really like you, you know!"
"Oh, you brought your daughters, Sara? I bet Ms. Xylda is happy to see her granddaughters!"
"She is, now if you excuse me, my sister and I need to keep that red headed guy from giving alcohol to them" Lucy said, dragging away Sara.
Looking in the direction the two sisters were going, Dracula indeed saw what looked like a young man with red hair, some of it going over his right eye, the clothes we was wearing were a leather vest , a white shirt, and jeans, and he was currently being beaten back by an elderly woman using a cane. The man resembled Isaac, the former Devil forge master who he controlled to resurrect him once, it worked, but another man, Hector defeated him, Death also developed a hatred for someone named Saint Germain from that incident, but Dracula did not know why. As the Dark Lord watched, two more men appeared and grabbed "Isaac". One had white hair that went down to his neck, wore a white shirt, black pants, and black gloves. This one looked remarkably liked the Devil Forger, Hector, which surprised him. The other looked like someone he did not know, he had long black hair tied back with a thin white cloth, wore a leather coat over a brown shirt, had on brown pants, and had leather gloves on his hands. His eyes were slanted and he seemed irritated at the red head. Liv spoke up as he was contemplating on who the ones who looked like his former servants were.
"Those three look like the robots Dave was working on before we met." She said, surprise crossing her face.
"Those three men are machines then?" he said, she had told him while she was getting used to Castlevania about robots, and did her best to explain how they worked.
"Yeah, looks like they were activated by whoever hired Dave to build them while I was gone. Though I only see three of the four, weird."
"Oh, he only built them, I handled their Programming." A voice behind them said, turning around they saw a woman with short white hair, pale skin, and pink eyes, she was wearing a gray skirt and jacket, gold bracelets, a white shirt, and black heels. This woman surprised the dark lord as she had an odd scent about her. Next to her was a woman with her long blond hair pulled back into a ponytail by a pink ribbon, she was wearing a dark pink dress and red shoes.
"And you would be?" the dark lord asked, surprised that this woman could sneak up on him.
"Kuroko Kasumi. And this woman here is the fourth of the robots I worked with David Starfeld to create. He asked me to come show them off here at the engagement party. Her name is Julia."
"Nice to meet you sir." Julia said, as the two robotic men who grabbed the third approached, carrying said machine between them, the expression on his face was one of defeat. Now that he had a closer looked, the two robots who he thought looked similar to his former servants, Isaac and Hector, could in fact have been there doubles. Kuroko simply sighed.
"Isaac, you really need to stay out of trouble." She said, rubbing her temples.
"Oh come on! It's not my fault Hector and Sosuke here are killjoys." Issac said.
The Hector Double then fwapped the Isaac double on the back of the head before speaking up.
"Lady Kasumi, I believe it is time we left. Any longer and Isaac could cause more trouble."
"Yeah Kuroko-chan" Sosuke said, "my power core's running low."
"Very well. It was nice meeting you two. Give my regard to David when you see him." She said, and the group walked away. As they did so, the couple walked toward the party, as it was, Liv's mother was announcing the couple's engagement. After speeches were made, Liv noticed a look of deep thought on Dracula's face.
"Something wrong?" she asked, concerned.
"No, it was just that two of those machines looked and acted like two servants I had. They even had the same names."
"It was probably just a coincidence. Now come on and enjoy yourself, if not for you, then at least try for me." She said, smiling. The dark lord gave in and began to mingle with everyone who was there. An hour into this, he heard the sound of an annoying man.
"HEEEEEYYY! GUESS WHO'S HERE TO CRASH A PARTY! AND SHAME ON READERS WHO DIDN'T FIGURE OUT SOONER!" The dark lord looked at the source of the voice and saw a muscular man in a red and black uniform, with a red mask with large black circles surrounding his eyes, which were glowing white. On his back were swords and he had strange looking weapons at his sides, the buckle of his odd, pocketed belt had a symbol that looked like his mask. To the Darklord, this man looked like a fool, to everyone else, he was simply an annoyance as everyone facepalmed in unison.
"Oh no…not that guy" Liv said in annoyance.
"Who is that man?" Dracula asked. This, oddly enough, caused the strange man to begin a speech, and mentioned things that made the dark lord wonder if the man was an escapee from an insane asylum.
"The name's Deadpool, and I was diagnosed with cancer, used in an experimental procedure, and now have a super tumor keeping me alive, also, I banged Mistress Death!" This part caused a bald man dressed in a black suit and a priestly collar to start choking on his drink. Deadpool paid no attention to this and continued. "Now that the backstory is out of the way, I'm here to kill a giant albino named Mathias, If I don't the big T-rex who hired me won't give me money, so sorry!" At this moment, a whip cracked, hitting Deadpool in the back, turning around, the merc with the mouth saw Julius Belmont, now wearing a cowboy hat along with his usual clothes, the look the vampire hunter had was one of anger.
"No way are you going to hurt my buddy's sister's fiancé!" the Belmont said, unfortunately, Deadpool started laughing.
"A whip? You are going to fight me with a whip? Oh man! That is the silliest thing I have ever seen anyone use against me! What, do you have a whip fetish or something?"
What Deadpool didn't know, which Dracula did, was that the very whip in Belmont's hand at this very moment was the legendary Vampire Killer. A whip that contained the soul of Sara, the betrothed of Leon Belmont, who ,of course, must have married another woman in order to continue the family line. It was that whip which Dracula feared, but was relieved that Julius didn't realize that he was helping his clan's worst enemy with the tool that would defeat him.
Julius, of course, was pissed off that his family weapon was being insulted by a madman, he then pulled out a vial of holy water, and threw it at Deadpool's face, which caused it to go up in flames, with the merc screaming in pain.
"OW! Sonuvagun, that hurt! Eh, it'll heal, but damn, what is this stuff? Napalm?
"Holy water." Julius said, and threw several daggers at the mercenary, which unfortunately, didn't do anything.
"Okay… what do you think I am? A vampire?" Deadpool said, pulling out the daggers while not really doing anything.
"No, just some idiot who is going to get his ass kicked!" Julius then pulled out the cross and axe, and threw both at Deadpool, as well as the ricochet rock, for extra measure.
"Wow, anyone else getting flashbacks to videogames?" the merc said, only to get hit in the back by a random scythe, the bald priest whistling innocently. Sensing that this wasn't going anywhere, the merc activated his teleporter belt and warped to behind Liv. He then grabbed her and held a sword to her throat.
"Okay, anyone move and I kill the cutie!" This caused Julius to drop his weaponry, while Dracula, merely looked at Deadpool.
"Insolent Fool! You are holding my Fiance captive and you threaten to kill her?" Deadpool then looked at Dracula, his glowing white eyes widening.
"SWEET SHINOLA YOU ARE A VERY SCARY GUY!" the merc said. Dracula, severely annoyed, grabbed Deadpool's wrist and pulled it, and the sword away from Liv's throat, breaking it in the process. He then punched the merc, knocking him out.
Later on, Dracula and his fiancé went into there room, greeted by a table with a small bucket of ice with a bottle of wine in it. Next to it was a note from Liv's grandfather. Opening it, the dark lord read it out loud.
"Dear Dracula, yes I know who you are, and no, I haven't told Julius, so you're safe. Anyway,I saw how well you took care of that crazy Deadpool guy and figured you'd be a good match for my granddaughter. Anyway, you must be wondering how I knew who you were, well, that imp I captured, Chernobog, told me everything after I persuaded him. He said to me that Liv was in 1797 with Dracula, and that he was thinking of taking her as his bride, now, I'll admit, I was skeptical at first, but he then explained about you courting her in the dreamworld, you sneaky rascal you! So, here's a little something for you two to drink as a reward for toughing out this long. Also, don't think you're exempt from the Tests, the boys are going for outside help trying to figure out what to do for you. Liv's father went through them, and you sure as hell will too!
Well, enjoy the wine, I made it myself, so consider yourself lucky!
Signed,
Robert Ernest Starfeld"
The dark lord out the note down and poured a glass of the wine for him and his fiancé, toasting to their engagement, he took a sip, and noted it tasted of plums, vanilla, and honey, it was also at least 50 years old. He then took another sip in triumph of not being killed by a Belmont for once.
Meanwhile, down in the lab, Deadpool had woken up from being knocked out, he soon realized he was hanging upside down next to a corpse of a man who looked like he was clawed and fucked to death.
"Eugh, what happened to that guy?" Deadpool said aloud.
"pack of Succubae got him, of course, he insulted a friend of mine's fiancé, so he kinda deserved it." A male voice said, the merc with the mouth looked down and saw a man in a purple coat with his ears pierced and jeans.
"Let me guess, you're that Joachim guy with almost as many fangirls as Alucard, right?"
"My name is Joachim, yes, but what do you mean by Alucard and Fangirls?"
"Nothing. Anyway, what hit me, and why am I upside down in chains?" Deadpool said, and thinking, as if I didn't already know, stupid fanfic, not letting me think in my yellow boxes.
"What hit you was a punch from Mathias Cronqvist, also known as Vlad Ill Tepes, or rather Dracula. And for why you're chained, I need you as harmless as possible, so you can answer my questions without you attempting to kill me."
"Heh, good luck trying to hypnotize me, not even a telepath could get in my coconut!"
"Oh, I don't plan on using hypnotism. I plan on using torture."
Joachim then summoned a number of swords which surrounded Deadpool, surprising the merc with the mouth.
"Okay, I don't remember anything about Vampires materializing weaponry!"
"Now now Joachim, calm down," a nother voice said, as another man, dressed as a circus ringmaster entered the room.
"Oh hey! It's the Castlevania version of Doctor Who!" Deadpool said, once more breaking the fourth wall.
"Oh God," Saint Germain said, rubbing his temples, "You must be a demon from another world."
"nope, just a merc hired by a t-rex!"
"A T-rex?" Germain said, raising an eyebrow. "Oh bugger."
"What is it Germain?"
"It seems the douchebag who caused this mess is either Galamoth or working with him, which means I have to work with that guy."
"The priest with who got me in the back with the scythe?"
"Hmm, Death? No, I just enjoy tormenting him. I mean, Aeon." Germain said, disgust filling his voice as he said the name of the guardian of time.
"Wasn't he that guy from the Castlevania Fighting game that looked like what happens when Deathnote Characters combine with Castlevania ones?"
"Yes, we try not to talk about Judgement, some things didn't go well with the fans."
"Eh, so Judgement is like the One More Day of Castlevania."
"Yeah, pretty much, even referenced an alternate timeline where a 10,009 year old Alucard was a child who loved his father, and fought Galamoth."
"Yeah, well too bad some things aren't just canon. So, how bad is Aeon anyway?"
"You know a guy who is so by the book and serious that they just get on your nerves?"
"That's just about everyone who hates me."
"Yeah, Aeon is that kind of guy."
"Oh, well, , why don't we tell the readers what's coming up?"
"Ooh, sounds like a plan! Coming up in this story, Alucard has a party while Dracula is away, Liv takes Maggie to a certain type of Doctor, a woman who was thrown out of the main timeline gets a new role here, and oh god, Aeon…"
"Also, if you wish to learn more about the Isaac and Hector robots, say so in the reviews and the author of this fic will do a side story explaining that, as well as who Kuroko is!"
"Also, send in your ideas for the tests Dracula has to take. You can make your suggestions in your review."
"Help out, and Joachim here will be put in a fanservicey situation in an upcoming chapter!"
"Wait, what?" Joachim asked, zoning out when the two were talking about Judgement.
"You heard Nothing! Now, take it away Aura!" Deadpool said, wanting the chapter to be over…
Okay, okay, I get the hint already! Anyway, yes, I will explain the robots in another story, if you fans want it of course. If not, then oh well. Other than that, Please Review and select what Dracula has to do when the Tests come!
THANKS!
