***Observatory***
As they ran through the small hallway to the door before them, Soma, Damien and Bleu entered the next area of the castle, only to be amaze at what they saw. The place almost look like the Chapel due to it's stainglass windows and statues. The walls were covered with stars and constellations scattered around the purple colored room. Brain looking creatures were crawling in one straight line on the ceiling as the boys looked at eachother then nodded as they all ran quickly before those creatures fell on them. They land on the ground as they watched the brain creatures continued their odd march.
An Arc Demon appeared from the shadows, as it flew down at them and summons a purple fireball before the trio dodges it. Damien uses Kuro's soul as duplicates of himself appeared in a row and the creature began to attack each of them. To it's surpise, they each vanished as the real Damien uses the Sonic Wave attack at the Arc Demon who shrieked and attacks before Soma uses the Red Minotaur as he sliced through the demon. It's soul entered the4 american who was near the splited corpse before it has been consume into nothing.
Soma walks toward Damien who was looking at his sword which sleek blade flashed once. "Forms of Confusion."
"It looks that way. Seems like you don't need to get a Killer Doll's soul afterall." Said Soma.
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
The trio looked around, while keeping their gaurd up for any enemies, as they came across a resting point which had windows showing the gray clouds swirling violently and the sounds of lightening. There was also a gray block that stood before them. When they got near it, the block moved, extending as it took form of a gray golem. It began to walk toward the trio when Soma went infront of Damien and uses the Killer Mantle on it as the Gray Golem went to pieces. A soul appeared and entered the spaniard. "A mantle?" Asked Damien.
"Unlike the other golems, this one can't be hurt by any weaponry or spells. The Killer Mantle soul can swap its energy quickly and kills the golem." Explained Soma.
"I see." Said Damien as the trio turned back and headed toward the next part of the Observatory.
They leaped on a hidden stairway, as the trio came across a newer foe: a headless creature with the upper and lower body of a female, but wings on it's back, hovered above them. It's feminine hands were holding a white orb as it threw the ball at the boys who dashed away as Damien casts the lightening doll at the creature who cried out in pain.
It disintegrated into flames before reaching the ground as another soul went inside Damien who turned to find another heading toward the spaniard. "Soma, enemy at Three O' Clock!"
Soma turned and uses the scythe which sliced the creature into two as it fell on the ground. "Whoa, you could switch weapons too?" Asked Damien.
"Yeah, which ever sword or knife I summon, will come to my aid. Usaully, I use the Claimh Solias as my main weapon." He said.
"Cool."
Along the way, they met up with floating orbs of light as Damien was the first to touch one, only to get shock and fell back, with his hair all spiked up as he glared at them. Soma began to laugh, only before he got shocked and fell on his face. Bleu casted a barrier as she covered the three of them, waiting for all the yellow orbs to disappear. When there were no more, the shield was broken and both boys got up, rubbing their heads with their hands as they dusted themselves off and glanced at the elf. "Thanks Bleu." Said Damien. The elf familiar smiled. "You're both welcome."
As they look around and facing fewer enemies, the trio found another resting point to their right and a blue door to their left, leading to you know who. Without hesistation, they go inside and didn't turn their heads to see the blue door closing. This huge room was alot like the area where they fought against the Cerebus in the Chapel, only dark purple as the other rooms and a crescent moon framed on a centered stain-glass window with stars.
"So, you come."
From the shadows, a figure appeared in a long blue robe, pointed ears and bald. His skin was purple and around his neck was a crescent pendant. He glanced at the duo and the elf as he broke the silence. "My name is Dhalsim and I am one of the five Daemons Lady Carmilla has sent to watchover this territory. I presume you are three of the six troublemakers who entered this castle to ruin my mistress plans." He said. Damien and Soma looked at eachother then at Dhalsim as the spaniard asked, "Yeah, what did you expect? Cookies and milk?"
"...Watch you tongue, boy! Such a castle like this, is not a playground for children like yourselves and-"
"Are you going to stand there yapping all goddamn day, or do we have to be the ones to make our move?!" Asked Damien who interrupted Dhalsim as the daemon was furious, casting a dark energy ball at them. Soma made a slight glare at Damien. "You just had to make him angry, didn't you, Damien?"
"What else was I suppose to do? Listen to him blabble all day and die as an old man after 'the end'?" He asked before they moved out of the way.
"You shall pay dearly for coming here in the first place!" He fired another dark energy ball at them before Damien swunged his sword like a baseball bat as the black orb goes back at Dhalsim who dispells it and smirked at them. "Nice try, but none of my attacks won't have affect on me, so I suggest you three give up and allow me to give you each a slow, painful death.."
"Sorry, we rather pass!" The spaniard casts the Flame Demon attack as four fireballs shot out from his palm and Dhalsim uses a barrier to protect himself. The american strucked his fist on the ground as sharp peaks appear moving fast at the daemon who hovers above it as the peaks charge into Soma who stumbled backwards. Falling on his back, Soma slowly got up as he uses the Black Panther when Dhalsim moved out of the way and the spaniard found himself charging into Damien who wasn't able to move out in time.
With a crash, both boys were on their backs, moaning slightly in pain as Bleu hovered above them with a hand on her mouth. "Damn! Everytime we try to attack him, he shields himself and we end up attacking eachother!"
"I know and ground attacks won't do it."
"Alright then, looks like its time we give him a taste of his own medicine!"
"Wait, Damien. I got a better idea..." Said Soma.
As Dhalsim hovered above them, he began to summon a pair of long arms which came out from a black hole as it was going to catch the duo when Soma threw a couple of dolls at it. Damien was amused as he saw two or three doll versions of him and Soma.
"Even though Dhalsim can sense that they're fakes, but long arms can be distracted." The youth was right. Dhalsim's long arms attack was mesmorize by the fake dolls as it turned away and began to go after them. "Wha...What are you doing?! You stupid arms, get back here! Its them you should be going after, not some pathetic stuff lookalikes!! I order you!"
Damien was the first to speak. "Looks like it just you and us, Dhalsim. Those dolls of Soma's can last longer than before and with many to catch, I'm afraid it won't help you now."
"Maybe, but I'm not through yet!" He exclaimed as he began to take form and before them, was a huge eyeless worm-like ronyon which buried itself in the ground. A lump moved below as it charges at Damien and Soma who jumped out of the way, striking the ground with aerial attacks. The creature came up from the ground as it opened it's big jaws and lunged at them before they fell on the ground. Crouching, Damien watched as the creature buried itself again and heading toward them when the youth stood up.
"Time to end this! Let's do it Bleu!"
"Right!"
Closing his eyes, Damien held his sword with both hands when his elf familiar began to glow as she and the sword became one; forming the big white energy blade as Damien swipes his sword twice before he shouted, "'SWORD OF FATE'!"
He swunged the sword in a big 'X' motion as it strucked the upcoming creature that screamed and sank below the hole it made. There was a glow as Dhaslim crawled out of the hole and on his knees while breathing heavily. He glared at Damien whose weapon changed back into it's current form.
"Such power, I underestimated both your ability and his. So that elf was behind the Soul Reaper's transformation." He said as he slowly got up.
"What do you mean by, 'Soul Reaper'??" Asked Damien in wonder.
"That is the name of your sword, boy. It can capture any souls quicker than before and I am certain that whatever power you possess, has awoken the sword, claiming you as it's new master."
"New master?? I don't understand, why are you telling me this, anyway?" Asked Damien. The daemon closed his eye and made a smirk. "When we fought, I recognized that sword and that attack...I knew that weapon was posessed by a being I heard about many centuries ago.." He covered his arm as he turnaway from the trio. "Wait! Where are you going?! Tell me, who is this 'being' you're talking about?! Come back!" Damien shouted as Dhalsim looked over his shoulder and said, "You will know soon enough. Until next time."
"Unfortunately for you, it will not happen." Said a voice from the dark corner of the ceiling as Dhalsim gasped. "What?!"
A being slowly emerges from above as it hovered at the daemon who was shocked in horror. This newer being worn a voilet robe while red orbs encircled him while there were no sign of his legs, arms or face as red eyes glowed darkly.
"No, please give me another chance, you can't be serious!" Exclaimed the daemon as he outstretched an arm at the being who spoke. "You were giving many chances before, Dhalsim and from the looks of it; you have failed as Kuro did."
"No! Please!"
"You are a disgrace to my mistress and you shall be punished! FAREWELL DHALSIM!!"
The daemon's body began to glow red as he began to scream in agony. Damien and the others watched in horror as Dhalsim bursted into tiny little pieces as they went inside the cloaked figure who then looks at the two boys. Both Soma and Damien were speechless at the moment as the cloak figure spoke. "May WE meet again." With that, he disappears into thin air as Soma breaks the short silence. "How could someone be such a cold hearted bastard and kills his own comrade?!"
"That's so mean!" Exclaimed Bleu as she turned to her master who didn't say anything but had his head down and locks covering his eyes. "............"
"Damien?" Asked Soma who placed a hand on Damien's shoulder, but still received no response.
"Master??"
".....Guys, we mustn't regret what just happened. What's more important, is that we conitinue onward through this castle and stop this ceremony from beginning."
"...Yes. let's go." Said Soma as he smiled at the american who turned and smiled also. "Besides, with the souls I have so far, including this sword and you guys, we can go through this castle with no problem. And I'll be close to what needs to be answered."
"Mmhm."
As they went inside the next room, another soul statue was discovered and Damien destroys it. When he posesses it's soul, they found a gap leading to the next area. "I'll go first, Damien."
"How the hell are you going to get to the other side? That's way too small."
"Not for me, watch." He crouched and did a slide dash through the small gap as Damien and Bleu were surprised. "Okay, you got to the other side, what about me?" Asked the american.
"Just do the same, Damien. You posess the soul that enables you to do a slide dash. Try it!"
"Well, here goes nothing!"
With that, Damien crouched, then slide underneath the small gap as he opened his eyes, looking up to see Soma standing above him. "Hello, Damien ^_^." He said, before helping the american up to his feet. "Whoa. That was wierd. Bleu?"
"Present!" Said the elf as she appeared from underneath the gap, smiling at them, but all turned to see an elevator leading up. "Wonder where it will lead to."
"Only one way to find out. Let's go."
Damien, Soma and Bleu enters the elevator as the gates closed and they found themselves heading upward to the next area where their newer enemy might be waiting for them.

To Be Continued....
AN: Chapter 7 is completed. I bet you probably know who that was, the one who punished Dhalsim. Once again, I apoligize for the late update. Well, since winter vacation is over and everyone's back at school, homework and other things to take care of. Still, I'm just glad I've completed these two chapters and beginning with the others as soon as I get more ideas for them, you know. Now, I know you've been wondering how Carmilla came back. Remember Chamberlain from chapter 4? Well, she was revived by him, in order to help resurrect the count. The nameless book she said in the beginning of the prologue was a way to create the ceremony to bring forth Dracula again. Does that help at least part of the story? The only problem is, I still can't figure out why he's taking order from her instead of the opposite. However, both don't know that Dracula was sealed in 1999 and that he is really Soma....yet. Here's another note, a short and name analyze kind. Did you know that Soma actaully meant, 'moon'? In hindi, it means 'moon' and in hungarian (???) it means 'Horn.' It can be a name for a female or male. Okay, that was an second yet unsaul short author note and well, until next time. Please review. ^_^
AN: I know, its a weird title....More like the Twilight Zone *begins singing the theme song's tune* lol.
