(I don't own Digimon, I don't own Castlevania either.)

Takato jumped to one side as Alice rushed him. He whipped her across the back, sending her down to the floor. She flipped back to her feet and shot her razor rings at Takato like Frisbees. Takato double back-flipped as the rings came at him and they narrowly missed as they flew over him. He stood back on his feet, but heard a whistling sound behind him and dived to the floor. The rings had come back and were about to strike him, had he not dived.

Alice caught her rings and glowered at Takato. "You're good. But, I can't have you alive."

"I'm the only one that can fight any descendant of Dracula!" Takato protested. "I'm a Belmont!"

"That maybe, but I know of a dirty little secret of yours. And that's why I have to take you out!"

"What secret?"

"Silence!" Alice threw a ring.

Takato used his morning star and whipped the weapon away, sending it crashing to the floor. He wondered who Alice was to just lash out at him. He had to get away from her quickly. He noticed a pile of boxes full of nuts and bolts near Alice. He then knew how to evade his attacker. "Listen Alice..."

"Alice McCoy."

"Miss McCoy... I don't have time to deal with you. My goal is Countess Rika!" He threw his Morning Star at a low box and removed it from the pyramid... The whole pile came crashing down on Alice.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

Takato bolted out of the factory as quick as he could. Once outside he pulled out another teleportation card. "Take me anywhere, away from Germany!" He vanished in a flash of light.

Alice shred through the boxes, grumbling. "That stupid, goggled Belmont. How does he know for sure he'll "kill" Rika? He has no idea what she's done to him, which is why I must eliminate them both..." She narrowed her eyes cruelly, before disappearing.

Takato landed in a lush forest nearby a palace. "I wonder where I am now." He looked around, and noticed a sign, that was in French.

LE PALAIS DE VERSALAIS

"Guess I must be in France. I wonder what awaits me inside the palace, or the forest." Takato had into the dense forest, lashing at any underbrush in his way. He walked under a large tree, and felt a strange powder sprinkle on him. Suddenly, he felt all confused and disoriented. He stumbled around, and started babbling out gibberish, for 10 seconds. He woke up on the ground, and noticed the strange powder next to him. He looked up and saw a giant rose sprinkling it. "What the hell! I've never seen a rose that big before... It's beautiful, but dangerous... If any monsters came at me, I'd be too disoriented to fight, because of this rose's pollen." Takato heard a rustling in the underbrush. He turned to see a vine coming at him like a whip. Takato jumped away, as the whip lashed out at him. He whipped it back and it cowered up. "Better not stay in this place any longer than I have too..." Takato said to himself. He trekked through the forest, which was alive with evil. There were vines coming out to whip and grab Takato, leaves that would try to cut him up, or giant roses that would sprinkle disorienting pollen. Takato had to whip dance with the vines, and cut down the giant roses. When he deeper into the forest he heard strange noises coming from the trees. He looked up to see skeletal monkeys looking down at him. "Oh my god..." Takato muttered. He was suddenly bombarded with coconuts, and had to run as the monkeys jumped down and started to chase him. He jumped over bushes and plants that seemed to watch his every move. Takato ran through the forest, trying not to be grabbed by the vines, and making sure to avoid the giant roses. Suddenly in the distance, getting closer he spotted what looked like doors to the palace. "Almost there..." As he got closer he skidded to a halt. He turned around, and fished out a bottle of holy water. He threw it like a grenade at the monkeys. There was a huge flash of fire, and primal screaming as the skeletal monkeys were engulfed in flames. "Well, that takes care of that..." Takato muttered. He opened the door and stepped inside. The palace was tasteful and elegant inside. Everything looked lavish and royal. "This place looks expensive... I feel like I'm spending a fortune just standing here..." Takato said as he looked around.

"Excuse me?"

Takato heard a voice from behind him. He turned around to see a woman coming towards him. She was beautiful with long brown hair, and an elegant dress.

"Who are you?" The woman inquired.

"I'm Takato Matsuki Belmont. I'm a vampire hunter. I'm searching for Countess Rika, the Granddaughter of Count Dracula."

The woman gasped deeply at the information and looked at Takato carefully. "I am Princess Jeri. This palace is my home, but lately it has been overrun with evil creatures."

"I ran into a lot in the garden." Takato admitted. "If I can find the source of this evil, I can save this place. "

Jeri suddenly had an odd look in her eyes. "I saw something suspicious in the backyard... Perhaps I should show you..." She began to walk down towards the hallway.

Takato followed the woman, but he felt a strange foreboding. He looked at all the paintings on the wall, and was entranced by the colors and content. He watched as Jeri disappeared into the wine cellar. He heard her scream in fright and dashed inside, breaking down the door. He found no girl, but instead, a giant armored ghost. It was 3 meters tall and was ready to attack. One of its gauntlets suddenly shot out towards him like a missile. Takato jumped to the side, as the huge fist smashed the wine barrels behind him. It suddenly jumped into the air and tried to stomp on Takato. He ran out of the way as the giant landed with a huge, THUD! Takato threw his Crucifix boomerang and hit the Knight in its helmet, sending it stumbling back. The giant seemed to freeze for a while. That's when Takato realized. "YES! The helmet is its weak spot!" He waited for the knight to shoot another gauntlet. He then watched as another came at him, and he jumped into the air. He landed on top of the fist which was retracting back to its owner. Takato then threw his Morning Star with all his might, knocking the helmet to the ground. The whole suit of armor collapsed, Takato too. He lay on top of the pile groaning. He picked himself up and noticed a ladder nearby. Curious, he walked over to the ladder and began to climb it. He opened the door at the top to find himself on the palace roof, with a stair way leading down.

"Takato?"

He heard the princess' voice, and ran down the stairs, at a furious pace. He felt the wind against his face as he ran. He hated the wind, as it reminded him of that gargoyle, on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He reached the bottom of the stairs and found Jeri waiting for him, nearby what looked like a giant cocoon. "Is the source of evil?"

"Yes... This is what has been causing trouble in the palace. It's also my birth place..."

"Your... BIRTHPLACE!"

Jeri smiled evilly. "You fool... I shall now eliminate you, before you can reach Countess Rika."

Jeri suddenly began to shapeshift. She started to turn into a huge wasp woman monster. She grew antennae out of her head, but kept her face and hair. Her body turned into that of a wasp and she became as big as the phantom knight.

"Oh, crap..." Takato muttered. "I hate wasps... OH SHIT!" He jumped out of the way as the Wasp Woman came towards him, trying to spear him on one of her legs.

Jeri suddenly flew into the air and began to sprinkle poisonous pollen throughout the air.

Takato pulled his coat over his head to protect himself. He crouched to the ground as the pollen fell around him. He then heard a loud buzzing sound, and looked up to see Jeri coming at him, stinger forward. He rolled away before he could be stung. He looked up to see the giant wasp flying through the air, circling him. Suddenly it began to drop eggs. The 4 eggs immediately hatched into miniature wasp creatures. Takato lashed out, striking down the creatures as fast as he could. He fished out his holy water and threw it at the wasps. He watched as they burnt up. He watched as the Wasp woman flew down and started to come at him, trying to skewer him. He whipped at the beast trying to drive it off. The creature suddenly thrust its stinger at Takato, and managed to scratch his arm. He screamed in pain and grabbed his arm. Suddenly he felt a bit weak, and sick... 'No!' He thought. 'The venom...' He suddenly had the creature on top of him as it tried to close in on him and kill him. He managed to go into his pocket and pick out a throwing knife. He grabbed it and plunged it into the wasp's leg. The insect squealed and staggered back. Takato managed to crawl away, feeling the venom take him over. Suddenly, his arm started to shake. He felt it tighten and watched as the venom appeared to be squeezed out of his arm, and out of his body. "W-What's going on!" Black venom spewed from his arm, as some invisible force was sucking the venom out of his body. Takato began to feel stronger, better than he had ever felt before. He felt himself rise to his feet.

The Wasp Woman watched her prey seemed to have the venom squeezed out of him, but she took no notice, as the beast part of her told her to pursue.

Takato felt as the last of the venom was wrenched out of his body. The wound suddenly closed up. Takato was extremely freaked out by this. But he shook it off and turned to the wasp beast. He watched as the monster crawled towards him once more, but he whipped it away from him, hard and fast. "I have to get under this Wasp, before I can kill it." He threw a vial of Holy water in the air and whipped it, sending it showering on Jeri. The wasp felt the water burn her and tried to shake it off. Takato quickly ran under the monster and took out his knife. He aimed for her thorax, and he stabbed.

The Wasp screamed a horrible sound as blood spewed from her stab wound.

Takato ignored the sound and kept stabbing, aiming for the creature's heart, and splashing holy water in the wound, hearing the creature squeal in pain. He dashed out from underneath and lashed at the monster's abdomen, causing more blood to spray everywhere. The creature turned towards him and charged at him, but Takato threw his whip at the beast's neck, ripping her head off. Blood spewed from the open neck as the body fell to the ground, the holy water causing it to burst into flames, Takato kept smacked the carcass as hard as he could, making sure the giant insect was dead. He huffed and puffed as the monster burned to nothing. Suddenly out of the rising smoke, there appeared a familiar figure that Takato knew all to well. "RIKA!"

"Well, Takato, I'm surprised. You made it this far, fighting horrible monsters and beasts. You have not died or given up. You've trekked across Europe just to find me... I'm truly impressed. You are certainly no ordinary man..."

Takato felt strange. He felt nervous yet excited around Rika.

Rika walked over to Takato seductively. "It looks like you CAN kill me. But the question is, WILL you kill me." She wrapped her arms around Takato, pushing her breasts up against his chest.

Takato shivered as the Vampire Princess as close to him. 'I should be resisiting her and trying to fight, but, I don't want to... I'm enjoying this...' "I'll go to the ends of the earth to find you..."

Rika smiled. "Well, then. Why don't you try fighting me at my new home? In England...I'm waiting..." She pressed her lips against Takato's and kissed him deeply, and passionately.

Takato felt a wave of pleasure and desire over him as he closed his eyes. He felt desires and stimulations like he never felt before... He felt empty once she pulled away. He found himself in England now, right outside of an abandoned castle outside of London. He looked up. "This is it... I will end this here and now..."

A few meters away, Alice stood watching Takato. "Fool... The only thing that will end is your life..."

(Cliffhnager time. The final chapter is just ahead. Will Takato kill Rika, or will something entirely different happen? R+R)
