CHAPTER 2: FUTURE
As soon as he entered the dense forest, he was attacked by a giant wolf twice his size, with murderous instincts. Alucard dodged the initial blow from the wolf, but didn't see it's jaws get in close. He noticed right before it's teeth came down. Thanks to his notice, it's fangs only scratched his chest, not saying the same for his armor though... He slashed at it and found it blocking his sword with it's claws. To defeat it, he resorted to cheap shots. Using the Marsil against it. It once again blocked it's swipe, but it quickly broke the strike, as it's claws were burning hot and it's fur on the verge of catching ablaze. It yelped a bit and retreated in the safety of the woods.
Alucard: Almost beaten by a wolf, how humiliating. And usually, Dracula's wolves are some of his weakest allies. As he crossed the woods, he saw yet more wolves but they refrained from attacking, they must be scared because of the way I battered their comrade, Alucard thought, but his mind changed as soon as he arrived at the end of the woods. An enormous wolf awaited him with the wolf he had wounded, blocking his way. The wolf lord was at least 4 times taller than he was, his claws were as long as swords, and his teeth, well, let's just say that an army of piranhas looked twice as friendly... The two foes circled each other, waiting for a chance to strike. Alucard made the first move as he unleashed the full force of the Marsil, carbonizing quite a few wolves, making a few catch ablaze and it's main target was the only one that didn't just suffer from the fiery outburst, but also ate the blazing column of fire that had escaped the sword during it's swing. The enormous inferno created by the blazing sword stopping alucard from spotting his foe, now regretting his rash behavior.
Alucard: Down one wolf lord... one forest too... Unnoticed, the wolf lord leapt out of the inferno that used to be vegetation, it caught him while he was turning, almost slicing him in half. As it touched the ground, Alucard dug the blazing sword in it's heart, but it didn't even notice. He knew he didn't have long to live when he saw the wolf start to head back at him, it's fangs bared.
Alucard: Oh, this is such a lame way to die, this is so Not-cool! But about a meter from him, he saw a flash of grey hitting the Wolf Lord in the back, causing it to fall to the ground, barely breathing with a broken spine.
Richter: Having problems?
Alucard: Richter, how glad I am to see you! Have you noticed anything weird about those wolves?
Richter: No, why? Have you?
Alucard: Just the size of the normal ones frighten me. He said so as he extracted his blade from the beast's carcass and realized it wasn't even bloody.
Alucard: This is no normal wolf... We should leave here fast.
Richter: Here, I found this on our way out of Castlevania. Richter threw him an Elixir and as soon as he'd drank it, the huge slash faded into nothingness. Out of the forest, Alucard took out his mother's sword, just in case... but strangely, no assault came.
Alucard: This place is just too quiet, we should have been overrun by zombies.
Richter: Maybe they were eaten by the wolves? He noticed a small noise and soon felt a hand grip his leg. Richter thrashed in it's cold grip, but just didn't manage to free himself from it's cold hand. It rose to reveal it's entire mechanical self. The attacker was a zombie made of metal! Identical to a normal one, it seemed to have a far superior resistance to it's deceased ancestor. Alucard made a large overhead swing at it and managed to break his sword doing so. The zombie's chest opened and in it were two holes filled with glistering skulls. They emerged, revealing to be missile's heads! Eating the round sent him crashing into a nearby tombstone, finishing off the Alucard mail (Resists Fire, Lightning, Ice). Richter swung at it and managed to coil his whip hard against the arm holding him. With one sharp jerk, the arm shattered freeing him... partially. The arm still held him as powerfully as ever. The two turned around and noticed over a dozen more metallical comrades had arrived to aid their mutilated friend. The pair judged their odds and chose to run. Soon, they were dodging the volley of missiles, as each zombie shot it's two skullsiles, always missing by so little, it was sickening. The pair jumped onto the drawbridge and then they weren't there anymore.
