Within Dracula's castle, under the blood red sky, the howling and roaring continued, off in the far distance, and miles away.
Lucy rushed to the machine, trying to redirect it. But no matter her strength, it didn't budge. Van Helsing tried to shut it down, and when nothing worked, he tried overriding the machine. But nothing STILL worked.
It was too late. The Eternal Night had finally happened. Dracula only laughed when they rushed back to confront him.
"Listen to them…" He said, spreading both hands wide. "The children of the night. What music they make. The age of man…is over."
"Well…I guess there's only one thing left to do now, huh?" Van Helsing stated. "One last battle. To determine if this future's REALLY set in stone. One all-powerful Monster. An entire team of Monster Hunters."
"Hahahahahahaha! Then COME, Abraham Van Helsing The Second! Our ancient rivalry ends TONIGHT!"
"Yes. It does…"
With a demonic monstrous banshee batlike scream, Dracula charged forward as a mass of incredible darkness, the hunters charging to meet him for the final battle. All while Van Helsing blasted epic final boss battle music full blast on his phone.
Dracula fought like a true monster, let alone the Devil himself! He launched balls of hellfire, dark balls of unholy magic, and blood red fire orbs, then summoned forth pillars of hellfire before shapeshifting into a swarm of bats to try and bite the fighters. When that failed, he simply reformed and continued his berserk assault.
He threw his cape open, launching a series of fireballs at the group. Everybody split up to avoid the projectiles, rushing for Dracula. Van Helsing held back, striking at the fireballs and leaving nothing but trails of smoke in his wake.
Van Helsing tossed an ax he conjured forth, which Dracula swatted aside. Abraham snatched the weapon's handle with his whip that he conjured, twirling in place and chucking it again. Dracula effortlessly sidestepped, the blade digging into the stone wall.
Cory struck left, Lisa struck right, slashing across Dracula's body with their blades. Upon landing, they whirled to face their foe… but saw barely a scratch on the unamused vampire. Where their attacks landed, a misty cloud faded to reveal his untouched form.
"What the-OOF!" Cobalt was knocked aside by Dracula's hand, sending him spinning to the ground. A fist plowed into Lissandra's chest, knocking her up. Another strong punch sent the dragon girl smashing against the wall.
Lightning and arrows shot right through Dracula's chest from behind, prompting the vampire to turn. Behind him, Lynne and Maria laid down fire, but their shots didn't even faze Dracula. The vampire cast more fireballs, the explosions blowing both of them away.
Cory and Lisa charged again, with Frankenstein backing them up. The swordsmen attacked Dracula and the monster held back, his hammer sparking with green lightning. Dracula skillfully dodged each of the blades' strikes, catching them between his fingers. He disarmed the warriors of their weapons… then bashed them aside with both fists.
Frankenstein unleashed the lightning, with Van Helsing meeting Dracula's next volley of fireballs with his own. The vampire rushed up with inhuman speed and dodged the lightning, snagging the hunter by the throat and hoisting him into the air.
"Impressive magic… but sorcery will not be your savior."
Van Helsing gritted his teeth under the helmet, blasting a stream of wind at Dracula. He doubled back, holding a hand closed in a fist. It sparked with yellow electricity…
With a yell, Van Helsing shot out a beam of yellow Holy Light out from his palm, heading right for the vampire…
...who deflected it with a wave of his hand. The beam punctured through the stone walls, leaving Van Helsing filled with disbelief and horror. No ordinary Holy Magic could even WEAKEN the vampire now!
"Wh-What? That's impossible!"
Dracula blasted the hunter away with a dark fireball. "I am no simple vampire to be killed by such human magic. I am Count Dracula! I am a GOD! And I have had ENOUGH!"
Before he could fire another massive fireball,
SLAM Lissandra collided with Dracula, pinning him against one of the throne room pillars. The dragon screeched in his face, slashing across the vampire's face with both claws. Dracula flinched, teleported away, and reappeared behind Lissandra. Seizing her by the tail, he spun Lissandra around with immense strength and threw her right out the window behind Dracula's throne. Lissandra's scream echoed into the night…
Before she flew back up and straight at Dracula again, only fading through as she skidded to a halt, her claws scratching into the wooden floor!
Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein lunged at Dracula, combining their efforts to land solid blows. Dracula weaved away from their swings and kicks, even batting away a lightning ball like a fly. He snagged Hyde's leg, flipping him into the air. While Hyde crashed to the floor, Dracula grabbed Frankenstein's fist and socked him across the face, landing a lethal blow that sent the Monster reeling.
The Invisible Man struck next. His punches barely hit their mark, so he went for a slap to the head. Dracula lunged with his claws, but kept hitting nothing.
"Missed me!" Dr. Griffin taunted. "Missed me missed me missed me!"
"ARRRRGH! ENOUGH!"
Dracula unleashed a blast of dark magic that managed to hurt Griffin, forcing the Realmwalker to fall back, as if running for his afterlife. Dracula stomped after him with some garlic bounced off his face. He turned to hiss at who did that…
And got hit in the face with a Holy Cross. Van Helsing caught the cross when it boomeranged back, then lashed out with the whip, landing a critical strike to Dracula's head. The vampire snarled, vanishing in a swarm of bats. Maria and Frankenstein fired at the bats, hoping to down one of them. The bats reformed to reveal Dracula, who unleashed a barrage of magical orbs. Cory and Lisa threw up their magic barriers, with the more agile monsters nimbly dodging the orbs. Lucy even managed to backhand one away like it was nothing!
Dracula raised his arm, summoning flames on the ground. Some made the mistake of drawing too near to them… and when Dracula cast his arm upward, they erupted like red-hot geysers. Cries rang out and bodies hit the floor, Van Helsing's among them. He quickly recovered upon hitting the ground, recalling the dropped whip into his hand.
He conjured forth a second whip, twirling both like a pair of nunchucks. He twirled both whips with elegance, glaring at the vampire. Dracula unleashed a storm of fireballs and magic, commanding them to fly right at the Monster Hunter.
Van Helsing became a living whirlwind of doom, spinning wildly with both weapons. The whips batted away the fireballs and cut through the magic orbs until they reached Dracula. Van Helsing swung both whips across the vampire's only weak spot, the might of being struck with the unrelenting chain becoming too overpowering. Van Helsing flung both whips up across Dracula's chin… then brought them both down with a cry. The heads smashed the top of Dracula's skull, making him collapse to one knee.
"Impressive, Mr. Helsing." Dr. Griffin stated. "I should've known that your family mastered all sorts of weapons. Even dual wielding most of them."
"It's a natural talent." He only said, making the whips vanish and instead form into a gun hybrid longsword and a double-barreled shotgun.
Dracula's exhausted breaths slowly morphed into something else. "Heh heh heh heh…"
Van Helsing narrowed his eyes. "Is something amusing, Lord of Darkness?"
Dracula sneered like the monster he was. "Hardly. You have not triumphed here… you have only sealed your fates."
And then, he simply bit his fangs down hard on his own arm, then turned and raised his head, his eyes glaring right at the full red moon!
Van Helsing's eyes went wide at this. Dracula only laughed even harder.
"Playtime…is…OVER!" He panted. "Grant…me…POWEEEEERRRRR!"
The Dark Lord fell to his knees in what seemed like pain. And then, dark bat-like wings exploded from his back!
Lisa gasped in horror at this. Dracula roared like mad as bones snapped and shifted. His clothing ripped. His skin grew darker. His eyes began glowing a pale deathly red.
He grew. He began growing. Until finally, what stood before the team was no longer a pale white vampire.
Instead, it was a terrifying monster 20 feet tall! Sharp teeth with vampiric fangs, demonic bat wings as black as night, scales just as pitch, along with sharp claws and talons! Dracula now seemed like a powerful gargoyle-like monster!
"BEHOLD, MY TRUE FORM!" Dracula roared in a new monstrous and demonic tone. "AND…DESPAIR!"
