CastleVania: Senshi for Hire 2
NOTE: It's back. The sequal to my very first fic ever made & posted at CV Dungeon. All characters are own by KONAMI. Cept for Vanessa/YingGirl, Koko, Katrice, and Alessa/YangGirl. It's modern day encounters the bad guys from Lamment of Innocence, plus the truth behind the connection between Death & YingGirl.
----------------------------
Darkness loomed within the castle. One of the creatures who roamed around had fluttered into the room. She folded her wings as she had seen her master looking at something. She folded her black leathery wings as she confronted the master. He seemed to be using his magic to show an image of another pair of travellers that were trespassing. He was keeping his eye on the long haired girl while he sat one his throne.
"She so cute..." she purred.
"This girl..." he said, "had finally destroyed my imprisoment from that wretched stone, yet she is now the new owner of the Crimson Stone who knows nothing about the power she holds."
"So what are we waiting for, Master? Let's kill her and take the stone!"
"It's not quite easy for getting rid of owners, especially when the recent owner also carry that whip."
"...I see. But why would the stone accept her?"
He then stood up from his throne, pulling his cape aside as he looked towards the scantly cladded demoness.
"I think we should welcome our new guests," he replied with a smile on his face.
----------------------------
A black fox sat on the coushin. He knew his master brought the strangest guests over to our household, but this was no stranger. This was someone who worked for the king of vampires, someone who aided for the coming of chaos and destruction onto mankind!!!
Despite his master scolding him to do no harm on the boney guest she invited over for a cup of tea, he still did not trust the visitor.
And why should he? He is Death. Quietly, the fox raised his head, picking up their conversation with his finely pointed ears.
"Please..." Alessa said, "tell me more about these stones."
"Throughout these centuries," Death began, "the Crimson Stone becomes more powerful when it absorbs the souls of vampires to its' master. The years had passed, and my master made sure he collected more vampire souls so he can become an even more powerful foe. There are at least hundreds of vampiric souls incased in that blood coated stone."
"...So the stone that my sister has is powered up by vampires' souls?!"
"Yes. If she destroyed the stone, all those vampiric souls will be free and reborn into this world once more. Most of them are very harmless vampiries, but there is one vampiric soul that has grew even stronger as it was kept sealed in that stone. And when my master was defeated five years ago, the Crimson Stone had cracked and was able to release that powerful vampiric soul from it's imprisoment."
"...Shit."
"He was the first vampire soul that I have let my master collected for the Crimson Stone. Even when he wasn't in the stone, no hunter can be able to destroy him. That changed when my master made a Belmont go after him. He was even the first vampire the Belmont had encountered before my master arrive; Count Walter Bernhard."
"...Walter Bernhard??"
"When the Belmont defeated this vampire, by my masters' orders...I harvested his soul into the Crimson Stone, thus making my master the true king of vampires."
The fox then jumped down from the coushin as he padded towards his master.
"So just by defeating Dracula, it ressurected another vampire who has the same attributes just like Dracula..." the fox began, "but she has the whip, the only weapon that can destroy vampires, so this vampire will be quite easy to take down."
Death thed turned his skull, looking down at the black fur coated fox who raised his head and was staring back at the cloacked skeloton.
"But even though she wields the whip," Death replied, "my new master still has a lot to learn to become a true hunter of the night like her ancestors were."
Alessa looked out of her window, placing her hands on her lap.
"...I think we need Alucard's help," Alessa said.
----------------------------
A young lady who wore glasses started to wander into the forests, the same forests that reports have been plaguing due to the recent findings of bloodless corpses, along with her rabbit like compaigion. There have been officers surrounding the area of the forests, telling everyone else that the forest was off limits.
Though somehow, this pair managed to outsmart the officiers. As they continued walking, the forest seemed to grew a bit darker.
"So this forest is where the bodies were found," Katrice began, "it does seem harmless."
She looked down, looking at the whip she latched on her jeans as she looked down on her furry four legged friend.
"But it is harmful," Vanessa said, "especially cause somewhere is this forest is where Castlevania lies. Dracula's domain is in this forest and once we get through that castle, he awaits for us."
Katrice then turned her small head, looking up at her faithful master.
"...Vaness," Katrice asked, "ever since you got that whip and are the only vampire hunter left, do you ever wish to give up it all for a chance to live a normal life?"
"Everyday I wish I could one day I can free myself from this cursed fate," Vanessa replied, "maybe find myself a boyfriend, but if I do so...then who will be there to stop them? I always have to stop them, the whip calls out to slain those vampires, and I must do this alone."
With her hand on her heart shaped broach, she raised the broach into the hair as she began to chant the incantantion that unleashes the power of this broach onto her.
"PHOENIX CRYSTAL POWER...." Vanessa cried out, "MAKE UP!!!"
What comfronted the green fur coated rabbit creature when the crystal was unleashed was her master in her true form. She stood in front of Katrice, wearing a short sleeved jacket with matching colored pleaded skirt. Despite the outfit change from the powers of the heart shape broach, the steel pointed whip she carried was still on her.
She then began to walk towards a direction, a direction she may hope perhaps lead towards the castle and defeat the King of Vampires once again. The rabbit looked towards her master while she was walking away, heading towards the castle.
"Vanessa..." Katrice said, "you are not alone. You never were alone."
----------------------------
The servants who served for this vampire lord were also awaken to aid their master because the destenied hunter had arrive to defeat him. Each servant were guardians to their respective quarters of the castle as they gave order the minions of monsters. Some of these servants were quite pleased with the comfrontation of this hunter....
Especially the servant who went against his own lord. He heard this hunter also held something that could put an end to that lord controlling him.
This hunter held the Crimson Stone, it was clasped inside a heart-shaped broach and worn around her neck like a piece of jewelery. The hunter didn't know she posessed such a stone within her grasp, and because of her not knowing about it...the stone does nothing until she tries to tap into its' true power.
Perhaps the Crimson Stone was attracted to her because she knew how to wield magic. It's very rare for mortals to wield magic these days, since many were driven away or killed off many centuries ago.
Thanks to a previous hunter who came here, his prisonment behind the waterfalls was broken and he could easily get out of his quarters.
He was going to find that petty hunter girl and get her magical stone.
----------------------------
The castle was quite strange. For starters, the closer she headed towards the castle, the more the forest and the sky grew darker. When they reached the drawbridge, it was nighttime, but her watch said it was in the afternoon. What was going on?
When she entered the castle, she noticed the pathway towards Dracula's throne was litterally right in front of her.
This could be the easist confrontation she ever even known.
The lady and the rabbit ran up the sideway that lead towards the throne room. On their way to the pathway, they noticed five rounded objects in five seperated colors that were covered in cobwebs.
Red.
Blue.
Green.
Orange.
Violet.
What did those objects mean? She had no time to figure out what they meant. She had to defeat Count Dracula fast like Alucard had taught her to do, before the killings got much worse. Irony that even Dracula's own son wants to send his father to his grave.
Neither ever thought that maybe this was too easy to encounter Count Dracula. Nor neither of them had also noticed the drawbridge sealing them within this castle while both of them entered the pathway.
The rabbit then stopped as she looked around the large room. Every corner within the candle-lighted room had a silver plated suit of an armor knight, guarding their stand.
"Ying..." Katrice began, "something isn't right."
"Hey if Dracula's making it really easy on us to defeat him," YingGirl replied, "then it's not my fault. Maybe Drac been beaten so many times by my ancestors that he gave up of making it hard on us to confront him."
"...But we weren't even encounted by monsters or anything! It's like Dracula was expecting us to come in this castle. Or he could be wearing a 'kill me' sign and wants us to finish him. Maybe we should at least brought Alessa or even Death to come with us. Least Death would be a great big help to us."
YingGirl then folded her arms.
"Alucard told me he would never truely understand his father," YingGirl began, "I guess that why Alucard doesn't want to help me kill Dracula again."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you," a voice replied, "but Count Dracula is no more."
The two of them were startled by the voice. Almost appearing out of nowhere, a gentleman had confronted the two of them. Katrice get into a defensive position, her hairs standing on end as she started growling. This person was indeed a vampire, but...
It was not Count Dracula. This vampire was entirely different from Dracula. It could not be a servant since both the rabbit like creature and short skirted lady could sense the presence of such massive power coming from this red haired vampire.
Wait on a sec, red hair? Dracula normally has black or white. Never blood red.
"Welcome to my castle," he began, "please, do enjoy your stay....Young Belmont."
"I guess I don't need an introduction," YingGirl replied as she pulled out her whip.
With her arm scretched out, she quickly flung the steel tipped whip directly at the vampire at full force. Yet somehow, the whip never even made contact onto the vampire at all and she found out why....
The vampire managed to disappear when the whip was about to strike him. She ended up hitting and strike down one of the armor suits in the corner instead.
She slowly got up, gripping onto the whip and began to look around the room. Before she could even make her other move, she was struck by behind. The legendary steel pointed whip flew out of her hands as she skidded across the floor and following her whip, before she slammed onto the floor.
"Ying!!!" Katrice cried out.
She raised her head weakly, looking towards the whip that was a few inches away from her hand. She was crawling weakly as she scretched out her hand foreward, her fingers were brushing onto the handle of the steel tipped whip.
She needed to get that whip....
Her attempted failed when a black leather boot stomped on her hand. She gave a yelp of pain, looking upward and staring towards the owner as she gave him a cold glare.
"...Cute," he replied, "Leon Belmont gave that same look too when he confronted me."
"Leon?" YingGirl winced, "what are you taking about?! The Belmont clan started off when Sonia ventured off with a whip in her hand to take out Dracula. There's no such thing as Leon Belmont and I bet you're another Dracula servant, a lowly vampire who serves under him!"
She was replied with the red-headed vampire stepping harder on her hand, causing her to scream painfully. She also began hearing cracking sounds from her hand and then, numbness came. The vampire raised his foot as he back away from her, causing YingGirl to quickly sit up, nursing her hand that was bleeding as well. Katrice ran towards Ying, also helping her nurse her injured hand.
The vampire folded his arms as he looked towards the short skirted lady and her pet rabbit creature.
"I was expecting a challange from the one who dealt away with the vampire who sealed me in the Crimson Stone," he sighed to himself, "but instead...I've get a weak little girl who wants to play as a vampire hunter."
"Ying may be a lot of things, such as lazy, stupid, and a coward..." Katrice hissed as she looked up at the vampire, "but I believe in YingGirl and I don't think she is weak at all! So I'm gonna defeat you!"
"And what are you going to do, rabbit? Paw me to death?"
"Grrr...." Katrice started getting into her defensive position again as she looked towards the vampire.
There was one thing YingGirl hated, other than being beaten. With her other hand, she pulled out from her jacket pocket a small glass bottle of holy water. Grasping onto the bottle, she closed her eyes, quietly chanelling her magic powers onto the small bottle, making it more useful.
"HYDRO STORM!!!" YingGirl cried out.
If there was one thing she learned from watching those b-rated vampire flicks during her spare time is that fact, despite how powerful or old they are, vampires can't stand water...especially holy water that began rainning into the room.
The vampire furled around his cape, hissing and snarling as he tried to avoid the rain till it stopped. Though some droplets managed to sting onto his face.
He then looked at her once more. The girl managed to get up and was holding with whip in her hand while the other hand was still dripping in blood.
"I'll defeat you, Count..." YingGirl said as she prepared the whip to strike again.
She leaped towards this vampire with her whip ready to strike the vampire at full force. She wanted payback for having one of her hands out of commision. The broach around her neck started to react and gave her the strength to fight, despite that one of her hands were broken.
Though that didn't seem to happen either.
All he did was look towards her with glowing red eyes as she was very close to him and stopped the "petty masked hunter" right in her tracks. She then slammed onto the floor and fell into unconcious afterwards. When she wakes up, it'll be as if she woke up from a nightmare.
Even though, the nightmare is quite real.
And her rabbit little friend fell uncouncious also as it fainted onto the floor. These two were considered to be the only vampire hunters left in this world, but they forgot or were never even taught the simplest rule about vampire hunting....
Never attack a vampire directly while in close range. It'll be easier for the vampire to use his mind controlling powers onto the hunter and the older the vampire, the more stronger those powers become.
And these two learned that rule...the hard way.

I'm tired now. Puu...
