Jessie, James, Meowth, and the Nightmare Squad stepped out of the boat, and onto the pier that lead into the village. Shaft was frantically tapping Actrise's shoulder.

"You can talk now, what is it?"

Then Shaft did something he had to do since getting kicked by Actrise.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT HURT, DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then every light in the village turned on.

"Uh-oh......"









Skriana the Shadow Dragon woke up with a start from Shaft's scream of agony.

"Geez! Who woke me up!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Then a skeleton opened the door to the guest room.

"Are you all ri........."

Skriana's eyes went wide, and she bolted out of the castle, setting new speed records, including a land speed record, and a record for the fastest runner..........







Alucard sighed when he heard the ruckus Skriana's sprint made. He looked out the window to see her bolting off into the forest.

"It figured."

Then Alucard finished working out the details of which of his staff he had forfeited to the mysterious informer he mentioned before.......











"Well, this is a fine mess you got us into Shaft!" Actrise scolded.

"It's not my fault I had to scream in pain from when YOU kicked me in the groin!"

"Shut up!" Jessie, James, and Meowth said in tandem.

"They're ruining my hair!"

Team Rocket and the Nightmare Squad were in stockades, lucky that the villagers were too tired to recognize them for now.

"Forget your hair Camilla, we have to get out of here!" De Rais yelped.

"Sheesh, afraid of being here all night?"

"Yes! I'm a vampire dingy! I'LL FRY!!!!!!!!!!"

The rest of the Nightmare Squad blinked, and sweatdropped.

"EARLIER YOU SAID YOU CAN STAY IN SUNLIGHT WITHOUT DYING!!!!!!!!!!!!"

De Rais blinked.

"I did? Oh yeah! I forgot."

Then they all face faulted except for De Rais, and fate worked towards them, since they each broke the stocks holding them during that.

"We're free! Let's get out of here!"

They all ran off.

"WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

De Rais followed, hopping along............











Alucard was now tending to the matter of repairing and cleaning parts of the castle that weren't clean before the party. Needless to say, it's probably the most dangerous, disgusting, tedious, and downright longest job in the world.

"Have we cleaned out the Royal Chapel yet?"

"Not yet sire," An Axe Knight informed him, "It's hard cleaning up centuries of bird droppings!"

Alucard winced in disgust hearing that.

"Ugh! I'll see if I can get the Aqua Shades up there to help."









Several golems were cleaning up the catacombs and the abandoned mine. Then they came across something odd, and took it to Alucard........









"A journal?"

Alucard took the old journal from the golem, and gave the golem permission to return to the cleaning. Then he opened the book, and blew lots of dust out of the pages.

"Not much in here.......Most of the pages are too torn to read. Let's see......... 'I have been assigned to the group endeavoring to purify the waters in the land the Prince of Darkness owns. The task is near impossible, but we believe that vast quantities of holy water will do it. We plan to use the abandoned mine under the castle as a sort of filter to purify the water, and make it safe to traverse for future generations of Belmonts. We had only to break through the upper target wall, which would create an underground waterfall for our purpose, but we came across catacombs with the bones of thousands that would be flooded if we finished our task. We must find a way to put those poor souls to rest before we continue.'........That's the last entry."

Then Alucard decided to finish the work of the men that never finished their plans..........









"ONE, TWO, THREE!!!! HEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Alucard and many of his servants were carefully hauling a giant cross, carved from stone down to the largest room of the catacombs, where Alucard had once fought Granfaloon. They then set the base of the cross deep into the floor of bones, and uncovered it. A Lycanthrope read the inscription.

"This cross is placed in memory of all of Dracula Tepes, and of those that stood against the evil tyrant's reign of darkness. For all those whose bodily remains rest within these catacombs and mines, may this cross guide their souls to the afterlife."

Alucard nodded solemnly, and left, taking the others with him.............











Alucard and the others took cover behind a high ledge covering their ears as a Bomb Knight lobbed a bundle of dynamite at a wall marked with an 'X'. Then the Bomb Knight ducked, and the explosion breached through the wall, and made a beautiful waterfall, with literally thousands of vials of Holy Water coming along the water at the top part, and smashing open on the rocks. The bubbling of the waterfall mixed the two waters, and pretty quickly, the water changed from purplish and sky blue, to a normal, clear color. They waited for all the holy water to mix in before the Lycanthrope tested the water by drinking some of it.

".......I'm still alive! And it looks and tastes like pure water. Smell like it too..........HUH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Then the others watched as he became an infant werewolf cub. They sweatdropped.

"Oh-no! That's just as bad as if the water was poisoned!"

Then a servant yelled into the caves from the entrance to the waterfall cave.

"SIRE, ONE OF THE VIALS WAS A YOUTH POTION BY MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE POURING MORE HOLY WATER INTO THE WATER TO FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"That explains why the lycanthrope became a baby."

Then after a couple minutes, the water became perfectly clear, and seemed less tainted then normal water. Alucard then decided to try something.

"I hope what I feel about this water is true."

Then Alucard dipped the werewolf cub into the water, and set him down. Just as Alucard thought, the water now had a healing property that restored form. The lycanthrope was back to normal.

"What a ride!" The werewolf exclaimed.

Then the werewolf passed out.........
