You said it Kaizer......

Damien: That's because you hog-tied the others....

Forte: Dang you! I almost was free of disruptions!

(Forte punts Damien into the next yard.)

Forte: I think you and Lady will get along....

(Damien sees a poodle.)

Damien: What's so scary about....

(Then we rejoin Forte as Damien screams for mercy. Forte looks out the window, and Damien is thrown thirty feet into the air, and lands back behind the fence.)

Forte: .....Beats me folks. I just keep mace and a stun gun with me whenever I pass by their yard.........And Damien didn't have a chance to use magic......

(Then a bloody mess hits Forte's window, and a seething Damien is visible when the pulpy goo slides down.)

Forte: ....... I'm going to write the chapter update now......

(Damien, who's in the house now, sighs, and crosses his arms and sits cross- legged. He calms down, and meditates. He uses his ki to keep himself off the ground while doing this.)

Damien: One warning Infinity.... This can also be used as training. Piccolo accidentally destroyed the Great Pyramids of Giza during his meditating.

Chapter two: The insanity starts here.....



Reinhardt had been through the Forest of Silence before. He knew his way, but the forest was strangely quiet. True, the name IS the Forest of Silence, but that means those that stray into it usually become silent.....from being killed.

"It's odd. Even during the peaceful years, the forest around Dracula's castle has nasty creatures in it..... I don't feel safe...."

Reinhardt also knew that among the inhabitants was a giant ogre skeleton. He thought it was the skeleton of a giant ape at first, but the third eye socket proved otherwise. He was always pestered by it when he came here, but even it was gone. Even stranger, the gate was open. True, Dracula let people in if they wanted in, but they almost always had to prove themselves worthy. He walked in, and remembering his last trip to the castle, which was actually a couple months ago, he expected the same gate trap. The gates were all open, and the drawbridge didn't pull up.

"....Is Dracula trying to intimidate me.... It's working...."

However, what he saw in the Villa and Gardens surprised him more than any trap.......... He saw different varieties of demons....... TENDING THE GARDENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A werewolf was sleeping in daisies. What he assumed was a vampire woman was trying to shoo him off of the flowers. A Venus Weed was helping plant and grow new flowers.

".........AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT MISSED SOMETHING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

The demons noticed Reinhardt, and he mentally cursed himself. He prepared for a battle, but....

"A traveler? I thought the stories of evil tied to this place would scare of visitors for at least a couple more days...."

"The master will be disappointed that we didn't finish before someone came...."

Reinhardt sweatdropped.

"......DID DRACULA TURN INTO A PACIFIST!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

The demons looked at each other, confused.

"......Maybe you'd better continue on....."

Reinhardt readied his whip.

"I think I will...."

Reinhardt continued forward, and was rather surprised the Villa was set to the side, and you could just walk into the castle from the Gardens. It wasn't like Dracula. As he wandered down the halls, he saw several skeletons, some dressed in servants' clothes, placing portraits, busts, and other decorations. One portrait was of a beautiful woman with shoulder length blonde hair. She was in a dress, and had a faint smile. He read the name on the inscription.

" 'Lisa'... Who's Lisa?"

"My mother."

Reinhardt turned around to face a man that looked a lot like the woman, but his skin was paler, and his hair was white. His nobleman's clothes were elegant, and reminded Reinhardt of Dracula to a point, even if the face didn't.

"Dracula!?!"

Reinhardt was ready to wield his whip....

"No. My name is Alucard."

"You're not fooling me.... That's Dracula spelled backwards."

"It shows that I stand for the opposite beliefs he did."

"....."

"Dracula was my father, but...."

"Then why's your name Alucard?"

"Pardon?"

"Counts use their last name... Like Count Dracula used his...."

"That's a common mistake.... Counts use their first name... the last name of my family is Tepes."

"I thought you said your name was Alucard."

"It is."

"But you just said it's Tepes."

"It is."

"HUH?"

"......This is getting confusing....."

"You started it Alucard Tepes."

"It's Adrian."

"WHAT!?!?!"

"My name's Adrian."

"BUT YOU SAID IT'S..."

"My name is Adrian Tepes. I'm known to many as Alucard, though..."

".....Finally something that makes sense..... sort of....."

"What do you mean?"

"A woman was carried into the tavern in the village below raving about this castle."

"...I don't know anything about someone being harmed here."

".....Well, her dress was stained an even deeper red due to..."

"Her dress was red?"

"Yeah. She had brown hair, a red, silky dress, and fair skin."

"Camilla.... So that's what's she's been up to along with Death and Shaft...."

"....Do you mind explaining some things?"

"No."

"Then first off, where's Dracula?"

"His resurrection attempt failed. He's dead....unless someone can revive him.... which I hope they don't.... he's caused enough pain."

"Second, why are you in charge?"

"Dracula apparently made out a will, and forgot to write me out after standing against him..... this castle is mine."

"Third......SINCE WHEN HAS CASTLEVANIA BEEN LEGIBLE FOR 'HOUSE AND GARDEN' MAGAZINE!?!?!?!?!"

This shout echoed through the entire castle, and caught the attention of every single soul inside. They all thought the same thing......

'..WHAT THE HELL IS 'HOUSE AND GARDEN' MAGAZINE????????? WHAT'S A MAGAZINE FOR THAT MATTER????????????????'

Alucard stared at Reinhardt in confusion. Then he sniffed Reinhardt's breath.

"You've been drinking."

"I ONLY HAD ONE GLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Then what on earth is a magazine?"

".....Some new fad. It's a kind of article book. Different magazines are dedicated to different topics. 'House and Garden' is dedicated to decorations and gardening."

"Oh.....Maybe we'd better head to the library...."





"See? I told you!"

Alucard was glad that the library always grew. It had more than one copy of every single book, text, or scroll every printed, handwritten, or in some cases, carved.

"Well, you were right about 'magazines'...."



Outside the castle, the three conspirators watched the castle.

"When is that Belmont going to finish the job? Alucard isn't as powerful as his father..." Death stated.

"Then how did he triumph over him, may I ask?" Shaft queried.

"Death, I swear I'll get back at you for damaging my dress and my delicate skin."

"It was the only way to remove doubt about being attacked."

"BY ACTUALLY ATTACKING ME?????????????????"

"Well, we certainly got that scum of a Belmont riled into action......HUH???????????"

Then they saw Reinhardt leaving the castle, and Alucard biding him goodbye.

"Alucard....."

".....Made friends with....."

"........THE BELMONT!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Then the three face fault.
