CHAPTER FOURTEEN: SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIR

(Dark Palace of Waterfalls)

Gabriel decends into the depths of Castlevania, he finds himself in a subterranean reservoir. It is dark and damp with only torches for light and water up to his ankles. Gabriel walks down the long tunnel only to be attacked by fish men who come from the end of the tunnel as well as its ceiling. The fish men swipe at Gabriel with their claws and spit balls of ice at him, but Gabriel dodges and blocks them and attacks them using the whip of lightning to defeat them. As he reaches a door several skeleton archers begin to shoot arrows at him. Gabriel jumps over their attacks and lands between them, but before they can attack Gabriel use the Aqua Disk attack to dispatch them.

Gabriel goes through the door and enters a large room where a pair of frost demons and frost swords await him. The frost swords hover in mid air and fly towards Gabriel and try to cut him but he dodges them and strikes them several times with the whip of flames and destroys them. Turning his attention to the frost demons they beging shooting balls of ice at Gabriel who dodges them but the frost demons attack again causing shards of ice to burst forth from the floor. Gabriel dodges most of them but has his arm cut by one of the shards, he then counters using the wip of flames to quickly destroy the demons.

Gabriel leaves the room and enters into another tunnel, he is soon attacked by a group of mermen. The run towards Gabriel to attack swipeing their claws at him and spewing balls of fire at him as well. He dodges the mermen's attacks and uses the Spirit Ripper attack combined with the whip of lightning to finish them off. However before he can go any further Gabriel is confronted by a heavy armor. The animated suit of armor attacks by swinging a giant steel mace at Gabriel, who dodges the attack and uses the whip of lightning to bring the heavy armor to its kneesbefore it can attack again.

Gabriel leaves the tunnel and enters into another large room where several mermen and a cyclopes appear to attack. Gabriel avoides the cyclopes's club as he dispatches the mermen, once the mermen are defeated he focuses on the cyclopes. Gabriel attacks but the cyclopes is much stronger than the other monsters so far as he dodges an attempt from the cyclopes to ram into him with its body. The cyclopes then fires a beam of energy from its eye which Gabriel blocks then finishes off the cyclopes. However before he leaves a group of astral knights attack. The astral knights attack by teleporting and attacking making them difficult to hit and Gabriel is struck several times by their swords but he soon destroys them.

Before exiting the room Gabriel drinks a healing potion to restore some of his health. Gabriel enters into another room with four giant blades swinging back and forth at high speed. Gabriel uses the Wolf's Foot relic to makes himself faster and then runs past the blades with out taking a single hit. Gabriel now enters another tunnel were he is attacked by fish men and lizard men. The fish men attack by swipeing their claws and spiting balls of ice at Gabril, while the lizard men attack with spears and firey breath. Gabriel dodges for all he is worth from the attacks and counters with the whip of lightning and the Spiral Axe attack to defeat his foes.

Gabriel enters into another room were a number a vassago appear to attack. The vassago attack by swinging the chained axes they have for arms at Gabriel who blocks their attacks as several spin around like a tornadoe with their arms stretched out strikeing anything in the way. Gabriel however blocks these attacks as well and counters with the Vampire Killer and the Cross Blazer attack to finish them off. Gabriel leaves the room and enters a large cavernous room with waterfalls where a bridge leads to a door with a skull on it, he crosses the bridge and enters through the door.

(End of song)

Gabriel enters into a large chamber that looks like a prison though who or what for he can not say. Gabriel quickley spots Kitsune, but she is being held within a magical barrier. "Kisune are you alright?" he asks "She is fine for now, but for how much longer is up to me." says a voice from the darkness. "Who are you? Show yourself." says Gabriel as a man dressed in blue robes and a breastplate steps forth from the darkness, he is beautiful with pale skin and white hair down to his shoulders. "Welcome Belmont, I am Joachim Armster it has been a long time since I fought one of your family." Joachim says "Joachim Armster?! It can't be you were destroyed centuries ago by my ancestor Leon Belmont." says Gabriel who is shocked at this information. "Shutup! So what if I lost to Leon all those centuries ago. Dracual has revived me and promised to free me from this prison if I defeat you. I'll grind you, to a pulp!" says Joachim.

"We'll see about that vampire. Tell me were are my other friends, now!" says Gabriel "If you want to know...Beat me!" says Joachim as five swords surround him in a circle. "Tell me your name before I kill you Belmont." says Joachim "My name is Gabriel." replies Gabriel. "Well then Gabriel your death will be a fine prelude to my freedom, and my revenge against your damn family!" says Joachim as he prepares to attack.

Joachim rushes at Gabriel and slashe at him with his swords but Gabriel dodges and counters, but when he strikes at Joachim he does not hurt him. "What? My attack didn't do anything." says Gabriel "What's wrong can't hurt me can you. Poor Belmont that's so sad." Joachim says with a laugh as he attacks again and Gabriel again dodges the attack. It is then that he notices the three blue globes in the corners of the room without knowing how he knows Gabriel runs to the three corners and breaks the globes and then attacks Joachim. This time when he strikes the swords shatter "It can't be!" says Joachim in suprise "Now you're mine." says Gabriel.

"Double Cross!" says Gabriel as a group of crosses swarm around him as he executes the Vertical High followed by the Rising Shot and ending in an Energy Blast with the whip of ice. Joachim places his hands together and causes blades of energy to burst forth from the ground, which Gabriel dodges as Joachim causes a symbol to appear beneath Gabriel as a number of swords shoot from it Gabriel tries to dodge but is hit by some of the swords. "Cover me." says Joachimas his sword barrier appears around him again. "Gabriel heads to the corners to break the globes again but his time flame gysers protect the globes, but Gabriel manages to get by them and break the globes without being burned to much. Once he breaks the globes he heads towards Joachim dodgeing his attacks and shatters his sword barrier again. Gabriel uses the Double Cross attack again while attacking with a Vertical High followed by a Rising Shot and ending in an Energy Blast. After a few more strikes from his whip of ice Joachim falls to the ground.

(End of song)

"To think I lost to a human..." says Joachim with surprise as he staggers back a few steps "Now tell me where my friends are, you promised." says Gabriel. "As I'm sure you already know they are here in the castle. They are being watched over by the guardians of the different areas of the castle. You'll have to beat the guardians to save them. You may have beat me but you won't get passed the others though. Aaaahhhh!" says Joachim as he crumbles to dust. Once Joachim has dissapeared an orb appears and falls to the ground, Gabriel walks over to it and has his strength restored.

Gabriel walks over to Kitsune to see if she is alright. "You're not hurt are you Kitsune?" he asks "No, I'm fine. Glad to see you though, that guy sure gave you a rough fight. You're not hurt are you?" she asks "I'm good, my family is pretty tough." he replies with a smile on his face. "Listen I want you to leave the castle. Don't worry about the monsters I've cleared the way so it's safe ok." he says "Ok I'll go but you make sure to take care of yourself and rescue the others. Cause when this is all over we're gonna have one major party." she says but before she leaves she kisses him on the cheek "Good luck." she says as she leaves. "Thanks I'll need all the luck I can get." Gabriel thinks to himself as he heads up a long flight of steps that will hopefully lead him top the surface.

END CHAPTER 14

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Well that's another chapter out of the way. I really enjoyed using Joachim as the guardian in this chapter he is just to cool, but alas as cool as he is he still got his butt kicked by Gabriel. Next chapter look forward to a classic guardian monster form Castlevania to make her appearance. Please read and review I'm begging you people on my hands and knees here.
