First attempt at creating.
RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth. The Castlevania games are owned by Konami. The anime storyline is written by Warren Ellis.
Teams RWBY and JNPR had fun at the Halloween party they went to… or at least most of them until they decided to head back to the Beacon dorms late at night to rest.
"That party was awesome" Yang said while pumping her fist in the air. Her friends agreed with her.
"Well, it certainly was a unique experience" Weiss said. It was the first non-formal party she has been to. Although, she wished the setup for the party was a bit more formal.
"I think all of us could have had fun if I wasn't STUCK IN A TRASH CAN!" Ruby shouted. She was made that her team stuck a trash can on her to act as her costume.
"Ruby, most of the students are trying to sleep so don't shout." Blake and Ren said while not being slightly freaked out that they were in synch.
Jaune started to speak some facts. "Besides, it was kind of messed up that you used your birthday as an excuse to get candy and other things from us and other people on Halloween."
"Yet you all still gave me something."
"While I don't approve of the method we thought that you should at least get something for you." Pyrrha explained. "By the way, why didn't you or Yang tell us your birthday was coming up. We could have gotten you something more worthwhile."
"You didn't ask."
"My gift to Ruby was taking her to that party."
"Hey, I would tell you when my birthday comes and I'd expect homemade pancakes from all of you." Nora stated.
Ren sighs. "Of course you would."
"I would ask any from Weiss since she can't cook." Ruby warned Nora.
"Hey, I can cook. I just need time to develop the skill."
"How many kitchens are you going to burn down? I sure you can pay a lot for the total amount of damage." Yang quipped making Weiss angry.
Ruby was looking for a way to prevent an outburst from until she noticed a small box in front of her team's dorm. "Someone left a box here." That drifted the attention of the others toward the box she was approaching. She picks up the box and felt something move inside.
Ruby opened the box and found a letter, a disc in a paper envelop, and a multilayered DVD case titled Castlevania. The case showed the back view of a man with a cross symbol surrounded by a more elaborate design on the back of his shirt wielding a short sword and a whip. He was facing a menacing castle during a blood moon. To the left of the castle was vampire. The vampire had red eyes, pointed ears, dark hair, a mustache and a pointed beard. The vampire seemed to be pissed off about something.
Ruby opened the letter and read the contents. "Happy birthday Ruby. Inside of the package is a well-made TV adaptation of a video game series which has about 20 or more games and that doesn't include any remasters or ports. This adaptation is based on the third game in the series, Castlevania: Dracula's Curse. Chronologically, it's the second game to take place in the timeline. The story in the game was below minimal so the writers and production crew had to improvise a lot. Witness the start of the Belmont legacy and the fight against Dracula and other supernatural beings. Beware that this show does target an adult audience due to the show featuring gore, language, and supernatural themes. The games however, have various ratings from E-M. If you don't mind the themes that are going to be presented, then I hope you enjoy watching this series. Also, there is a music CD containing 34 official Castlevania tracks and one fan made cover. From, JL."
As Ruby finished the letter see heard Yang speak. "Did you manage to sucker this person to giving you something?"
Ruby laughed nervously. "I don't know, maybe? I don't know anyone with those initials."
"You might be telling the truth. I don't recognize the initials and can't match them to the student roster." Weiss stated.
"When did you manage to see the roster" Blake questioned her.
Weiss stayed silent on the matter.
"Anyways do you guys want to watch this." Ruby asked everyone.
"While I can't speak for everyone I am willing to watch it, but it is kind of late. It's a little less than an hour until the new day." Jaune stated.
"Oh come on, please." Ruby pleaded Jaune and everyone else with innocent eyes which were too cute to resist. "It's my birthday." She used that excuse for the last time today.
"OK fine. We will watch one episode and then we go to bed. We can watch more tomorrow." Jaune conceded and everyone else agreed.
Both teams went into team RWBY's dorm to watch the show. Ruby opened the case and saw the season one disc alongside two pictures. "The first season is only four episodes." Ruby puts the DVD in the TV player and take the pictures.
"Maybe the first season was a pilot release to see if the show would be popular?" Pyrrha questioned. "We can assume that the show got more than enough popularity since you said 'season one'."
"Seems reasonable. If the case was multilayered then there may at least be two seasons". Ren explained.
Yang notices Ruby looking at two pictures intently. "What are you looking at Ruby?"
"Both are pictures of whips. Both are name 'Vampire Killer', but they look different and don't seem to transform. One is labeled 'leather' and the other is labeled 'morning star'."
"Must symbolize an in-game weapon upgrade." Jaune putting his knowledge as a gamer to work. "Now lets start the episode. I don't think I can stay awake for long."
Ruby plays the first episode.
Wallachia, 1455
The screen shows a wasteland filled with skeletons on stakes. A swarm of bats appear flying over the graveyard of skeletons. As the bats swarm around one bat gets impaled by a dagger being wielded by a blonde woman. She was wearing a simple dress with a cloak draping behind her and carrying two bags. She stood at the huge front door of a creepy castle gasping in awe of such a structure.
The opening scene has already put a chill in the spines of both team. Ruby was first person to make an uncomfortable noise due to the scene.
"Barely ten seconds in and we are already seeing death. I guess this series isn't going to play around." Yang said.
"Given the time we are going to see people live simple lives. Of course, there is the exception of who or whatever caused this." Weiss stated her observation.
Jaune was concerned for the woman. "Why is that woman there? There are obvious signs that that castle is dangerous. Turn back."
The castle had a gear and some kind of energy system activated.
Both teams assumed that was the system to open the door.
She knocked on the door. The door didn't open immediately so she quickly looked around for some device to open the door until it opened itself which surprised her.
The woman entered the castle and walked through the main hall which was lit by candles hanging on the hall pillars on both sides. She had her dagger clenched in her right hand and looked around for any person or being seemingly knowing that she was in danger get whatever she was looking for.
She turned her head as she as she heard the door closed behind her. Choosing not to let that frighten her she looked forward and saw a dark figure standing on top of the staircase in the main hall with its body covered by a cape leaving its head exposed.
The woman sheathed her dagger. "My name is Lisa. I am from the village of Lupu. I want to be a doctor.
"I'm assuming that is Dracula she is talking to." Blake stated.
"Well, she is going to die". Nora quickly wrote off Lisa. She was expecting this from the first ten seconds and she was sure everyone else had the same thought.
"While that may seem likely at this moment, we don't know that for sure." Ren shot down Nora's claim.
"Why did she come to this demonic creature to ask about medicine?" Weiss asked doubting that this creature would had any medical knowledge. "I sure he could have just gone to library or another doctor to study medicine."
Dracula walked towards the stairs, but quickly vanished and reappeared on the lower floor movind behind the hallway pillars silently. "You bang on my front door because you want to daub chicken blood on peasants."
"Don't mistake me for a witch. Everybody out there already does that." Lisa stated that fact with an annoyed look on her face. "I believe in science, but I need to know more. I've exhausted my other options and all the stories say the man who lives here has secret knowledge." She said as she backed up and looked around for the man she is talking to.
Weiss got her question somewhat answered. "So after viewing all of your immediate sources and text around your village you come seeking this creature to ask for medical knowledge because of stories stated that he has secret knowledge?"
"She is practically making a deal with the devil assuming she doesn't get killed by Dracula." Jaune stated.
Dracula appears behind her and spoke which spooked her. "I am Vlad Dracula Tepes and I don't get many visitors."
Ruby was quick to respond. "That's because most people have common sense to stay away from your creepy castle."
"What have you to trade for my knowledge, Lisa from Lupu?"
Lisa steeled herself and walked forward a bit before turning around to talk to him. "Perhaps I could help you relearn some manners." Lisa saw Dracula stand up straight with a slightly confused look on his face as she lectured him. "I've crossed the threshold of your home, and you have haven't offered me a drink or even to take my coat."
The group had a small laugh at this.
"Wow she just called him out at not being a gentleman." Yang said.
"Give the design of his castle you would figure that Dracula would have the manners of a noble. I guess the lack of interaction with people took a toll on him." Weiss then remembered the graveyard outside the castle. "On second thought he might just be a heartless murderer."
"Those people could have pissed him off in some way like breaking into his home and trying to kill him."
Dracula steps forward and looks down on her. "What if I took a drink from you? Or have you loaded yourself with silver, crosses, and garlic in superstitious fear?"
"I might have eaten some roasted garlic earlier. Was that rude? It was all I had left." Lisa admitted.
"At least she was honest, but I don't think she should have admitted that." Pyrrha said.
"The items Dracula listed may have an effect on vampires, but the he mentioned implied that they would have little effect on him." Ren explained.
"I'm really not interested in superstition-" Dracula laughs and walks around her "or being some muttering wise woman cheating people with boiled nettles and entrails. I want to heal people. I want to learn. Will you help me?" she asked without fear.
"You are definitely different to most humans I have met in recent times."
"Maybe I can teach you to like people again, or at least tolerate them, or stop putting them on sticks."
"If she can manage that then she be saving a lot of lives beyond the use of medicine." Ruby said happily.
"It might be possible since she has been making a positive impression so far." Pyrrha commended Lisa.
Dracula chuckles at that remark and walks down the hall with Lisa following. "I gave that up a long time ago. Where is Lupu Village?"
"You don't travel much."
"I can travel. This entire structure is a traveling machine."
I can believe that they can have a gear system to open doors in this time, but I highly doubt they have the technology to move a building such as a house, let alone a castle." Weiss said skeptically.
"Oohhh, maybe its magic. He is a magical being and he has a magical device to move his castle." Nora beamed while making her conclusion.
"That… might actually be believable. This is a dark fantasy and the letter clearly said that supernatural themes are present." Weiss consented. "However, this doesn't mean that magic is real in our world."
"If we can have aura and a semblance then why can't we have magic?"
"An aura and a semblance are our innate and personal abilities. There are no records of magic. You don't see people using their semblance without aura or using elemental attacks without dust.
Blake steps in to stop the discussion. "Can we just finish this episode? Your just wasting time debating."
Weiss and Nora agreed to stop their debate and continue watching the show.
"But… you don't. Do you?" Lisa questioned his personal traveling record. "Maybe you should the world is changing." They both stop moving. "Travel, like people do. You might like it."
Dracula raises an eyebrow at her. "I've know you two minutes and you offer for me to walk the earth like an ordinary peasant while I give you the knowledge of immortals, the true science." Dracula gestures to the door which opened revealing his laboratory. His scientific equipment is on the lower floor while his archive is on the upper floor.
Lisa gasps in amazement as she looks around.
"So, we are all in agreement that Dracula is the most advanced being in the show?" Jaune asked.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"My. They won't be peasants anymore if you teach them." Lisa encouraged Dracula. "They won't live such short, scared lives if they have real medicine." Lisa approached Dracula. "They won't be superstitious if they learn how the world really works."
"Why should I do that?" Dracula asked while chuckling.
"To make the world better." Lisa places her hand on her chest. "Start with me, and I'll start with you."
Dracula smiles and bows. "I think I might like you."
"There are the signs for an early romance." Blake said now getting interested in the story. Maybe she should buy some dark fantasy novels if she really liked this show. She looked at her friends and noticed that they are getting more interested in this show.
Both proceed further into the laboratory to start their studies.
Targoviste, Wallachia, 1475
The screen pans down into the city where a mob of people are watching something burn. In that fire was Lisa who was groaning.
"Why are they burning her?" Ruby asked unnerved by the scene.
Priests are holding up crosses murmuring a prayer of sorts.
One of the priest just stands their watching her burn with no remorse. He was wearing white robes, a religious cap and a which hanged around his shoulders with a cross on each side. A short and moderately large man with a bushy beard and thick mustache walked up to him.
"So there were devil engines in her house Bishop?" the short man asked the Bishop.
"I saw them with my own eyes. Glass in shapes you've never seen, thin as paper. Lightning. Strange weeds and tools. Witch's things." The Bishop said menacingly. "Of all the witches I've rooted out, none had such a collection."
"So they are burning her for have scientific equipment from Dracula?" Weiss said shocked by the actions she witnessed. "All of that equipment, medicine, and knowledge could have made the live of the people easier and they are burning her for having it?"
"Everyone could have benefited from it. Even the Priest, but they reject it in favor of their practices and simple lives." Pyrrha added in.
"If they were holy men they would have stoned her rather than burned her"
"Are they technically supposed to stone her rather than burn her alive?" Jaune asked Ren.
"Yes." Came Ren's short reply.
"And it had come to this?"
"She called it all science, Mayor." The Bishop gestures towards Lisa and then pointed his finger to his head quickly. "Lisa Tepes of Lupu was so far gone that she couldn't see that it was all given to her by Satan."
"I'll admit that technological advancement and some business practices can ruin people, but the type of technology we've seen can in no way make a person crazy for wanting to study and practice. This is a necessary opportunity and you want to snuff it out." The heiress ranted.
"I've made some small study of the chemical sciences myself, you know." The Mayor said while stroking his mustache.
The Bishop glared at the Mayor for that statement.
"J-just a study, of course. I-I'd never think to practice such things." The Mayor quickly waved off the suspicion of the Bishop after incriminating himself.
"You would think that the mayor would have more power in town, but it seems that the Bishop is of higher authority. The authority of the church must be great in Wallachia." The redheaded champion hypothesized.
"The Archbishop would prefer that life in Wallachia be kept simple, Mayor." The Bishop smirked as he heard Lisa scream. "Simple. Pure. Good."
Lisa was crying and groaning at the burning stake. "Don't hurt them! They don't understand!" She spoke out loud.
"Who is she talking to?" The Mayor wondered.
"I believe she's exhorting Satan not to take revenge on us, which a suppose is almost commendable, for a witch." The Bishop was almost impressed at the scene. "Perhaps I'll say a prayer for her. A small one."
"It's one thing to punish someone for their misdeeds, but it is another to kill someone and take some sort of pleasure from it. Atrocious." Pyrrha was disgusted by the Bishop.
"He better pray for forgiveness. Not that I will do anything for him." Nora knew at this point that the Bishop and the church were screwed by Dracula when he finds out.
Lisa was panting and coughing from the fire. "I know it's not your fault, butt… if you can hear… they don't know what they are doing. Be better than them. Please!" She pleaded out loud hoping that somehow Dracula would hear her wherever he is at the moment. The fire soon consumes here.
The intro plays (Play Castlevania: Main Title ost)
"T -that is certainly a dark intro." The young Arc is nervously.
"We did see some rather important figures though. We will be introduced to them fast because this is a short season." Ren reasoned.
The screen shows a village, most likely Lupu. A large bell can be heard in the distance.
A lone figure is walking across the bridge passing by a couple of people. This figure was Dracula.
He bore a ring on his left index finger which is proof of his marriage to Lisa. He was wearing a dark coat with the collar popped up, a dark gray dress shirt, black slacks, and black boots. He was carrying a bag strapped around his shoulder.
Dracula stopped in the middle of the breezy road and noticed that the fence to his human home was broken and may have also noticed the blood on the ground beneath him. He proceeds pass the broken fence through a field of tall grass. Crows were flocked above him.
"Death flags are being confirmed for Dracula." The kitty ninja commented.
As he got home he was shocked and dropped his bag. His human home was destroyed. Trails of black smoke indicated that it was burned down.
An elderly woman approached behind him. "Are you Mr. Tepes? She talked about you."
Dracula turns to face her. "What happened? Where is my wife?"
"Oh. The Bishop tool her. Witchcraft, he said. They're burning her at the stake."
Dracula tried to contain his fury as the old woman spoke. "She was good to me, your wife. A good doctor" The elderly woman placed a bundle of flowers on the site of the destroyed house. "It's not right what happened.
"We all agree that was messed up, but makes sense in this time period." Everyone voiced.
"Where are they holding her? The cathedral?" Dracula pressed for information.
"Oh. Oh no sir. Sh-she'll be dead by now." The woman regretfully explained.
Dracula clenched his fist. "What?"
"I don't care what they say. I won't take joy in that woman being killed by the Church. I'm here remembering her instead."
"There is a bit of humanity" Jaune commented.
Dracula stood there crying bloody tears.
Yeah that's not disturbing at all. Must be a vampire or at least an undead thing." The blonde brawler said.
"She said to me, 'if you would love me as a man, then live as a man. Travel as a man.'" He quoted her with his sharp nailed hands reaching out.
"She said you were traveling."
"I was. The way men do. Slowly." Dracula closed his hands. "No more." He declared turned to face the elder woman with blood red eyes and yellow pupils, scaring her.
"I know your mad, but please don't take it out on the woman." Ruby was scared that Dracula might kill the woman out of rage.
"She probably would have gotten killed by the Church if she tried to defend his wife." Her sister replied.
"If your going to kill people just limit it to the members of the Church." Jaune suggested.
Dracula walks towards the woman direction. "I do this last kindness in her name, she who loved you humans and cared for your ill. Take your family and leave Wallachia tonight. Pack and go, and do not look back…" Dracula put himself on fire with his magic which terrified the woman "for no more do I travel as a man.
The woman held a cross she had on her person, using it as a ward for Dracula. He soon teleported in a pillar of fire.
"He had enough mercy to give her a fair warning to leave before doing what he plans to do." Jaune said as he and Ruby sighed in relief for the old lady.
The woman started to run home. The flowers she placed ere burning.
The screen transitioned to Lisa's corpse, full burned and still burning until it fell apart. The civilians present are celebrating at the scene.
"These people are almost as guilty as the Church." Nora growled angrily.
"The Church has them convinced that they are doing good by burning her." Her childhood friend said. "However, the Church does have a bit of justification since she was married to Dracula whether they know it or not."
"Ah, there. Quite a show. Drinks?"
The Bishop yawns. "I should minister to the Archbishop. I fear he's not long for this world, to be honest." He walks away from the burning platform with the Mayor in tow.
"Off to heaven with hi, eh? I suppose that's the ultimate goal for you priest, serving God in his true house and all that."
"The Church would stray further away for their 'holy' goals if the Bishop was in charge." Blake stated.
"It holds little appeal for me, to be honest." The Bishop denied the possibility.
"Really?"
"Bullshit, he is faking humility because he know he can change the system for his desires."
"Language Yang."
"Not now Ruby."
"I think he wants to maintain his hands-on approach." Weiss deduced.
"There's so much left to be done on earth. Wallachia could be God's own country had I but time to burn out all the evils that hide here."
Suddenly an explosion goes off behind them which enhances the fire and causes it to start taking form in the image of Dracula.
"That's one hell of an entrance." Everyone agreed with Yang.
"What have you done?" The image of Dracula asked menacingly.
The Mayor was shaking in his boots. "Satan."
The fiery image of Dracula is complete. "What have you done to my wife?" It almost sounded like a command than a question.
The Bishop started to chant with his cross held out. "In nominee Patris et Filii…"
"I am Vlad Dracula Tepes, and you will tell me why this thing has happened to my wife." He commanded.
"Oh no! Oh, God! Dracula!" The Mayor was beyond surprised. "He was supposed to be a myth, a story made by heretics!" He denied Dracula's existence.
"She… she's a witch." The tried to justify the actions of the Church.
Lisa Tepes was a woman of Science, and the only thing that justified humanity's stench upon this planet." Dracula declared.
"She was the only person who kept Dracula from attacking anymore people until this point." Pyrrha softly said. "Traveling like a man must have given him an up-close view of the ugliness of humanity." She knew that an ideal world and a realistic world will always collide.
"You are not real." The Bishop denied his existence. "You are fiction that justified the practice of black magic!" He fervently stated.
"A fiction." Dracula did not like being mocked. "You take my wife and deny I even exist!"
Dracula starts to warn everyone in the city, present or not. "I give you one year, Wallachians. You have one year to make your peace and remove any marks you have laid upon the land. One year, and then I'll wipe all human life from the land of Wallachia. You took that which I love, so I will take from you everything you have and everything you have ever been. One year." Dracula's image disappears in an explosion of fire causing a shockwave to push back all of the citizens and break all the glass windows.
"Everyone has one year to leave Wallachia. They at least have a chance to live." Ruby was being hopeful that no one will get killed.
"Ruby, the people will think that the Church will protect them. Protection they will never receive." Weiss bore the bad news to Ruby regretfully.
"I'm afraid that even if they leave their country Dracula will hunt them down." Jaune added more bad news causing Ruby to whimper in fear for the citizens.
A fire shower starts to fall upon the city and the people run in terror.
Dracula stares angrily at the glass like device he used to send his message which now shattered and floated around the center of the room.
Dracula walks towards a research table and starts destroying books, glass flask and then the table out of anger.
"One year!" he yelled as he shot lightning at the floating glass shards causing the mirror to reform. "It will take one year to summon an army from the guts of hell itself!"
"He is not going to spare anyone with that army." Blake was dreading the time when the one year grace period comes to an end and all hell breaks loose.
The door to the room Dracula was in opened. (Play Castlevania: There are no innocents)
"No." The new arrival said.
"What do you mean, no? That woman was the only reason on earth for me to tolerate human life!" Dracula's tone got harsher as he turned to face the new figure.
The figure became more focused, but the blinding light covered the details on him with the back view. He had long hair, a coat and a sword sheathed on his left side of his body.
"Then find the one who did the deed."
"I said that earlier."
"Found you new favorite character Jaune?"
"It's to early to say Nora."
The new arrival continued. "If you loose an army of the night on Wallachia, you cannot undo it, and many thousands of people just as innocent as her will suffered and die." Dracula sneered at this.
"There are no innocents! Not anymore" Dracula shouted. "Any one of them could have stood up and said, 'no, we won't behave like animals anymore.'" Dracula clenched his raised hand drawing his blood with his nails.
"Yet most people don't want to change." The champion said.
"I won't let you do it. I grieve with you, but I won't let you commit genocide."
"Wait a minute, is that his son?" Ruby said surprised.
"It would appear so. He is the only other being that we know of in the castle." Ren said.
Dracula growls in anger and rushed to claw the person who was readying his sword, but was slow to react. Blood starts pouring out.
(OST end)
"He attacked his own son out of anger for the humans." Ruby, Weiss and Pyrrha said together.
"Dracula is already gone." Blake finished their thought.
The screen changes to day time with a choir singing.
Targoviste, Wallachia :1476
People are gathering in from of the Catherdral to listen and then the Archbishop comes into view, exiting the Cathedral by being carried in his chair.
"Wow, he is ugly." Nora commented.
He raises his sharp nailed hands to silence the audience. He breaths before starting his speech. "For twenty years have I served you and God as the Archbishop to Targoviste Cathedral. Yet, never before have I felt the love of God shine upon this great city. A little more than a year ago, many of us suffered a vision during the God-willed punishment of a witch in our midst."
"The devil himself came to us and threatened us with doom in one year. And yet, here we are. The devil lied. Why should we be surprised? Do we not know the devil for a liar?" The sky turns into a dark red color.
"Speaking to soon." Said the blonde knight.
"You should have left." Ruby said.
"Do we not know his work to be illusion? Of course, we do. Illusions and falsehoods hold no fear for us, for we are righteous of Targoviste, living as if cradled in the love of God." As soon ashe stretched out his hands blood started to rain down.
"It has begun."
The citizens are crying in fear as they get soaked in blood. Monstrous beings started to rain down upon them. These beings were in their infant, larval state.
The ground started to shake destroying houses and the blood rain crushes the buildings.
Everyone started to feel sick at the scene, especially Ruby, Jaune and Weiss.
The ground started to crack. The windows on the Cathedral shattered and started falling upon the Archbishop and his men, impaling them.
The archbishop survived the initial strike and tried to get up. He saw the building burst into a blaze and watched the fire rise into the sky taking the form of Dracula's face which started speaking to the people.
"One year. I gave you one year to make your peace with your God. And what do you do? Celebrate the day you killed my wife."
"How are you going to celebrate the death of a person? That's fucked up."
"Language." Ruby said while trying to hold down the bile rising up.
"I don't care."
"One year I gave you while I assemble my armies. And now I bring you death." Dracula's image fades away. "You had your chance."
An explosion of fire occurs again and Dracula's castle teleports into the city. All of the windows in the city start opening up violently. From these windows spawn the army of the night ready to terrorize the city. The beast started to run amok killing everyone one sight. Slashing, piercing, and bisecting every man, woman, and child. Organs and intestines fall onto the ground. The beasts even shot blast of fire into buildings killing anyone hiding.
At this point Ruby, Weiss, and Jaune ran to the bathrooms in the dorms to vomit at this sight. The others are holding strong, but are very unsettled.
As soon as everyone got back together they took a moment to breath. They must steel themselves for the reset of this episode and the rest of the series now knowing what to expect.
A swarm of bats start to take the form of Dracula's face while the beast continue to cause havoc. "Kill everything you see. Kill them all. And once Targoviste has been made into a graveyard for my love, go forth into the country."
The night army starts to make its way out of the city. "Go to all the cities of Wallachia: Arges, Severin, Greslt, Chilia, Enlsara. Go now and kill. Kill for my love! Kill for the only true love I ever knew. Kill for the endless lifetime of hate before me." The swarm of bats disperse and a Crow flies towards the screen.
"It's the end of humanity in Wallachia. Dracula is not playing games." Jaune said. Everyone had a somber look on their face. They knew where Dracula was coming from, but they can't approve of his course of action.
The screen cuts to a village out in the sticks. A man (Bosha) started talking. "So I say to him 'It's my goat. I've been tending to goats since I was four years old.'". The man talking was talking to another person in a tavern (Kob) which had a few other people in it, Belmont included.
"Right, right." Kob agreed.
"And I'd know if my goat was in love with you."
"For God's sake."
"He says to me, 'I know your goat's in love with me."
No one in the ream approves of bestiality.
"So you said how, Bosha?"
"So I said how! And he says, 'Well, she fucks me, don't she?"
"And that's when you hit him." Kob concluded the story while Bosha drinks.
"I don't think that story was about goat herding." Nora said.
Bosha slams his drink on the tabled and points to his eye. "Right across the eyes with a shovel. And now the headman says I have to pay the bastard money because he went blind." He said annoyed. Kob drinks his beer.
"You cause an irreversible injury to a coworker. You either pay of the damages or lose your job." The heiress stated the facts. "Yet, you choose to waste your time and money at a bar. You must not care for your job.
"Not fair."
"So I say to him, 'you didn't think he was gonna go blind fucking a goat with a mange."
"Ok so maybe it was a goat." Nora was ready to take back her previous claim.
"That would have been your fault, too." Kob stated fact.
"I would have gotten blamed for that, too." Bosha admitted. "But what am I supposed to do when I find my goat laying on its side in the field, fucked within an inch of its life and a naked man with blood and straw all over his peck?"
"Disgusting!"
"Hit him with a shovel"
I'm getting strong wingman vibes from the lanky dude. He is either parroting or finishing the other's sentence." Yang said before turning to Ruby. "I'm surprised that you have said 'language' during the entire conversation."
"With the massacre scene from before along with the letter I know what to expect now. Calling it out is not only repetitive, but also minor compared to what we will see." She explained. "Just know that I'm still calling it out in my mind." The others knew where she was going.
"Fucking right I hit him with a shovel!" Bosha calls out to the bartender. "More ale for me and my cousin Kob!"
"Brother."
Bosha didn't seem to like the term 'brother' and addressed it. "Look we might have had the same father, but you came out of my aunt.
"They are similar to us Ruby."
"But we were raise as sisters. I don't think they were raise like us."
"Don't make me get the shovel."
"Anyone else while I'm pouring?" The bartender asked.
"One over here." One of the patrons responded. He had a fur cloak on.
"Is that the guy on the cover?" Ruby asked.
"I think so sis."
A scrawny man comes through the door panting. "Ale! For Christ's sake!" He closes the door.
"Bosha calls his name. "Piter. We was just wondering if you'd spotted any attractive sheep on your ride out. What's the word, mate?"
Piter walks towards the bartender for his drink. He drank his ale fast. "The hord'es been seen, sweeping the west!"
"Shit! You think they'll reach us?" Kob asked now concerned.
"I think they might pass us by. I don't know. I hope."
"You better pray that our lucky, You don't have huntsman and huntresses like us." Nora exclaimed.
"What about the man on the cover?" Ruby asked
"He is a likely warrior, but he is only one man. He can fight an entire army on his own." Ren answered.
Piter continued. "I'm told they're closing on Greslt."
"Serves 'em right" Bosha already writing off the people of Greslt. "Stuck-up bastards."
The bartender tried to interject, but was cut off. "No. No, it all comes down to the families and the houses, doesn't it? The houses of Greslt."
Bosha spits as he continued. "Vlad Dracula? An old family. The capital? All run by the great houses. And they are not even the worst."
"If you can count the leaders of the Church as members of a noble family then he is correct." Pyrrha said.
"Who does he claim to be worse though?" Blake wondered.
"The Belmonts?" Bosha said with a lot of hatred.
Wait, aren't the Belmonts supposed to be the heroes of this show?" Ruby was confused on how the hero family brought chaos to Wallachia.
The letter did say that this series takes place in the second Chronological game. Maybe something happened in the previous game or somewhere in between." Weiss deduced.
The man sitting in the far table turns his head to listen to the conversation. He had brown unkempt hair, a stubble beard and a scar going down his left eye.
"There is our protagonist." Yang announced. "The man suspected to be a Belmont from the DVD case."
"We should have killed all the Belmonts." Bosha finished.
The suspected Belmont turns his head away and raise his hand to scratch his head. "Shit."
The credits play.
"What a gruesome show." The resident champion said.
"Yeah, I's not sure if this is something we should watch." Her leader said.
"You can't deny that the premise is outstanding despite all the dark themes. I'm interested to see who the story proceeds." Blake had gotten the agreement for everyone though some people did hesitate. Namely the ones who left for the bathroom.
"Think you can handle it Rubes." Yang asked her sister.
"Y-yeah."
"Hopefully I don't get nightmares when I sleep." Said the blonde knight.
Ruby stood up and addressed. Everyone. "Guys, if you're willing, do you want to watch more tomorrow?" she asked. This was a unique gift to her and she wanted to experience it with her friends.
"Sure." Everyone agreed.
"Only after class and finishing homework." Weiss added.
Ruby dread the word homework and she know that Weiss was going to get on her case slacked off. "Fine. Let's go to bed and watch more tomorrow."
Love or hate it this is my first story. The track list I gave in the story is based on the list shown in Smash Ultimate. Two songs already got a new remix. Well know the rest soon, but I might use older official version of any song after the first season. The fan made cover is for Bloody Tears made by kaede.
I didn't know the name of the guys at the tavern until I put on subtitles after watching the show twice in English dub. Can't enjoy the show at the volume I wanted with someone, so I got to watch on my computer in with Japanese audio which was a slight downgrade to me for the series but was accurate.
I also don't know if Alucard's long sword is the one used in SotN or a new look for the Crissaegrim. Hopefully someone can clear that for me.
How I see certain RWBY characters in the world of Castlevania as a specific character of group with little to no thought:
Jaune Arc would be a Belmont. If I'm forced to pick a specific Belmont then it had to one lesser known, Christopher. I barely know him next to Juste.
Glynda Goodwitch is Sypha Belnades or a member of the Belnades clan.
Weiss Schnee would be Shanoa or a member of the Belnades clan. Maybe Charlotte…
Pyrrha would be a member of the Morris clan.
Can't compare anyone to Grant since I barely know the character.
