CHAPTER 31: ALUCART
The castle keep loomed ahead at the top of a large staircase. The three went up the long staircase up to the main bronze door to the keep. Inside was a beautiful hall filled with beautiful paintings and a large wooden table with a chandelier on it, above the table was a beautiful globe filled with thousands of different colors swirling and formign into various images projected onto a nearby wall. In the back was another bronze door and next to them were stairs leading up.
Janesil: Weird place... In the next room was a large throne opon a red carpet. In it sat a man and beside it was a chained form.
Voice: Ah, welcome at last to my home...
Alucard: That voice... Can it be...
Voice: Yes it is. Welcome home, dear brother...
Alucard: Alucart... Why did you return here?
Alucart: Why, any man is allowed to miss his family.
Alucard: Like I'm stupid enough to believe that.
Alucart: Smart as always. You've all heard of this castle's recent decline... well, I've come to make things right again! He rose from his seat.
Alucart: I see you brought some friends with you... Ah Lyliara, come to get more good stuff?
Lyliara: You'd wish. :(
Alucart: And I haven't seen this lovely lady before... I hope to get to know her MUCH better soon...
Janesil: Nani?
Lyliara: He means to rape you, idiot. ^^;
Janesil: Kyah! Never in a lifetime!
Lyliara: I honestly don't know how you do it, sleeping with a girl...
Janesil: Hey, you don't pick who you fall in love with, it just happens...
Alucart: A lesbian? She's so much more interesting now...
Alucard: I'd keep my fingers off her if I were you?
Alucart: And why would I do that?
Alucard: Just a question. Waht do you think of Neo galamoht on the power side?
Alucart: He is my finest warrior, more powerful than me, but I have the brains to go with my power, why do you ask?
Alucard: Well, I just had fun watching her turn him into a bloody pulp without breaking a sweat.
Alucart: What? I'll go check...
He just leaves the room. They hear a weak moan from the form beside the chair. Lyliara takes the black sheet off of it and reveals Dracula.
Alucard: Father?
Dracula: A... Alucard, is that you?
Alucard: Yes father, what happened to you?
Dracula: Alucart summoned me back here... he wants the power of this castle as his own... you have to stop him or...
Alucart: That's enough father. We don't want you worrying your son like that...
Alucard: Free father now!
Alucart: Ah, sentimentalist Alucard to the rescue! Why, I'll free him... that is, if you can defeat me!
Alucard: I shall win!
Alucart: May I ask the ladies not to interfere?
Lyliara: Yeah, yeah, whatever... :|
Janesil: Okay.
Alucart: And to prove I'm not cheap, I've arranged for a little diversion for both of you... Lyliara, your foe awaits above, Janesil was it? Your foe awaits outside. Now brother, shall we begin?
Alucard: You're on!
***********************
Lyliara went up the stairs and found her foe, a muscled man with spiky black hair.
Vegeta: Ah, so there you are! That man promised me enormous power if I could vanquish you.
Lyliara: Oh. It's the twit again. :(
Vegeta: Talk all you want. He rushed her and threw a punch. She dodged and hit him, makign him fly straight in a wall and fall unconscious.
Lyliara: He knows how strong I am, so why this weakling? :( She goes back down and finds the two of them goign at it, trying to tear across each other's defenses.
Lyliara: Hey! Why the weak enemy?
Alucart: Buisy!
Lyliara: Men! She watches the two men's swords clash with each other while their wielders descended to the level of basic name-calling to pass time. Soon, a power unlike any was felt, as overwhelming as the one they'd felt in Ryu's quarters followed by a titanous sound of breaking and heavy winds.
Alucart: Now what's she doing?
Alucard: Lyliara? What's wrong?
Lyliara : The power... I...t's as overwhelming as before... maybe even worst... She hurries out, followed by the two men who'se attentoin she'd managed to draw.
***********************
Janesil left the tower and saw a dark man decend from the sky. He was taller than most, pretty musular, short black hair reaching the bottom of his neck, shadow black eyes and skin just as black.
Janesil: Y... you're Darkon!
Darkon: Ah, Janesil! How nice to see you again! How have you been? Magus letting you out often?
Janesil: Of course not! You know he can't stand me!
Darkon: Oh yeah... I guess it slipped my mind.
Janesil: How did you manage to get a body again?
Darkon: Oh don't you remember? Magus gave it to me!
Janesil: Oh I see, that's why you went after Galamoth... You used his cell structure to allow you to create this body for you, your own cells being unable to hold together.
Darkon: Bingo!
Janesil: But I can't believe you would ally yourself with an inferior being like Alucart... I'm ahamed of you...
Darkon: What are you saying? I've just caught up with you, you managed to get quite ahead of me. By the time my body was complete, you were already at the gates of the clock tower.
Janesil: But Alucart told me to come out here to fight my foe...
Darkon: Would THAT be your foe by any chance? He points at the wall. Shelooks where he pointed and noticed the large blood stain on the wall.
Janesil: That weak?
Darkon: Even weaker.
Janesil: Boy he underestimates me.
Darkon: Yes... But I don't.
Janesil: So I take it you want to kill me, right?
Darkon: Well, actually, I've just come to return something of yours...
"Blade of Elemental fury, through mastery, I summon thee
Escape the darkness that you call home
Return now to the planes of men and unleash ultimate destruction
On those who seek nothing but Death!
Ragna Blade!!!" A small dark hole appeared and from it poured out a shadow black sword gleamign with small passing rays of light roatting around the sword itself once in awhile.
Janesil: Th... the Ragna Blade... H... how did you get your hands on it?
Darkon: Don't you even remember? You left it within my body... well, you know what would've happened had you tried to extract it...
Janesil: Yeah, all too well... He pointed the sword at her.
Darkon: Well now, shall we do this the easy way or the hard way?
Janesil: The hard way of course! He just noticed the energy she'd been gathering.
Janesil: Eternity Wind! Greenish-blue wind burst out of her palms, tearing the stairs to pieces on the way to it's target, but he just put his sword in front of him and the spell dissolved on contact.
Janesil: No way! Lyliara and the men bust out of the keep behind her.
Lyliara: DARKON?!?!?!?!?!?
Alucard: You know this guy?
Lyliara: Under what rock have you been living? He's one of the most reknown demons in existance!
Alucart: Darkon... so that's him... But... Isn't he dead?
Lyliara: Apparently not...
Alucard: Um... I don't have a clue about who he is, so could you fill me in?
Lyliara : Allright, but try to listen. When the world was created, there were three gods, Phoenix, god of rebirth, Dragos, the Dragon god and finally Chaos, god of the demons. Chaos' eldest son was Evaris Elfslayer, the greatest leader of the demons to have ever lived. Evaris had two sons, Galamoth whom we've seen twice in this castle and Findread whom died during the great clash against Dragos' sons Granis and Erandel. There's a strange rumor around the abyss talking about Galamoth havign a bastard daughter, but it's only a rumor... Then comes Chaos' younger son, Darkon. Although being the later of the two, he outranks his brother on every plan... except reknown. Evaris was born as a Hyper Demon, third best class of demons in existence, but his brother was a Plague of Existence, the highest class of demons in existence... but they're all extinct now... Darkon is also the cause as to why the Plagues no longer exist. He ratted on their actions to the Entities, the beings that created this universe. Needless to tell you that bing that can destroy the universe without breaking a sweat aren't too well seen by those who spent so much time creating it... For his "correct" actions, he was made the Elemental of Darkness, controlling all of the shadows in the universes. His power was the greatest of all the Elementals and became a Tyrant. Soon, what was bound to happen happened and war broke out between Darkon and the Elementals. One person, Magus, joined the conflict and created a weapon which was infused with the power of all the elementals and slayed Darkon with it. Since then, Darkon's regenerative cells have been destroyed and his body is reduced to Black goo of unimaginable power. Also, from his body was born the Shadow Elemental Shade, taking his elemental powers away.
Alucard: ... I didn't quite follow all of that.
Alucart: It means he's the most powerful being on the planet, you moron.
Alucard: Oh, why didn't you just say so?
Lyliara: That's what I said. :(
Alucard: And does Janesil have any chance of beating him?
Lyliara: Hopefully.
Janesil: Killing your own nephew to get a body, how pathetic...
Darkon: Oh his soul survived! Isn't that enough? Darkon's sword slashed forward, cutting the very air with ease, creating a blade out of nothignness, cutting the castle keep in half with ease. He kept swinging and forced Janesil to dodge and be unable to attack. Finally, after over 20 dodges, she managed to avoid his slash and have time to react. She leapt over the next slash and landed behind him, concentrating power for a second to create an energy bolt.
Janesil : one fatal mistake in your plan, you used Galamoth's cell structure, so your body itself has the same potential as his... and the same defense... Nice seeing you again. The bolt was shot in the form of a spear, piercing the skull, makign eyeballs fly out, crashig on the walls in a wet splatter. The energy lance gone, his body fell down to the cortyard below. Along the way, a black portal opened itself, swallowing up the sword and a piece of his hand, leaving the rest to fall and splatter on the solid stone floor. Janesil's consciousness faltered, making her fall as well. Lyliara caught her and brought her back up, noticing she'd rebecome Magus.
Alucart: Shall we return to buisness, dear twin brother?
Alucard: Count on it! Twe two returned inside what was left of the castle keep and started to battle it out again until Alucard manaed to disarm Alucart, his sword flying out the wall, now reduced to their waist.
Alucard: It seems I've won.
Alucart: As if! Do you remem ber the stats my sword has? My strength lies in myself not in that pathetic piece of steel. He clenched his fist and got ready again. Alucard stabbed forward and Alucart dodged, sending his fist flying at Alucard's stomach, throwing him back oer the edge.
Alucart: It seems I'VE won. He sees a small bat fly back up and turn into Alucard. Alucart looked pissed at him and attacked fast witha jump kick, but Alucard blocked with his sword. Alucard swung at his brother who parried and got ready to delived another hard punch, but instead bot the Omega Weapon in the guts.
Alucart: Th... this isn't over... The sword grew another blade along it's length, tearing him apart Horizontally as well as Vertically.
Alucart: Th... Th... This... Hurts... ... The sword flashed for a second and started to glow red, no more blood flowing out of the terrible wound. Alucart started to turn very, VERY pale as the sword ucked away all of his blood. When it's deed was done, it finally let Alucard tear it out. The man collapsed besdie the throne.
Alucard: I'm sorry, my brother, but yo desired this so much...
Lyliara: Um... he's not dead... They stared back at Alucart that had managed to crawl up to the chained Dracula.
Alucart: T...h...i...s... is... far... from... o...v...e...r... He sunk his fangs in Dracula, sucking away his very power, endign the ceremony of binding, releasing Dracula from his curse and placing it in him... And then the castle shook violently, showing it's appearance on earth was over... and at the same time Magus awakened.
The castle keep loomed ahead at the top of a large staircase. The three went up the long staircase up to the main bronze door to the keep. Inside was a beautiful hall filled with beautiful paintings and a large wooden table with a chandelier on it, above the table was a beautiful globe filled with thousands of different colors swirling and formign into various images projected onto a nearby wall.
