The ground visibly shook, even from the air as Walter, Integra and Zuranna watched the wolves and remaining vampires flee from the crumbling ground. That was when the three realized the black Alucard still remained for chains made of blood red light clutched his body, binding him to the spot as b his feet... "Seras..." whispered Walter as her mangled form laid there on the ground as if part of the muddy blood soaked land. With a huge plume of steam rising from the shattered land, a brilliant white yellow glow rose as lava oozed out in a leisurely fashion, consuming all and melting the dead bodies making the air fill with the stench of burning flesh. Rising past the pouring out lava rose a glowing white skeletal clawed hand as large as Donovan's own claws. With lava sloshing off of the blazing white bones, the claws twitching, flew open to the sky as if to consume it.
The ground burst suddenly wide open like a violent volcano and the lava like a near ten story wide geyser shot up into the night air towering easily twenty five stories. The geyser of lava was abruptly shattered as two huge skeletal wings slammed out with the same wingspan as Donovan, near fifty stories. With the bones cooling rapidly to a metallic black and baring near ratty like leather holey flesh over the wing joints, the lava crashed down, it's purpose of deliverance having ended.
Walter's and Integra's eyes went wide as the wolves all around were frozen in shock and true terror. Those of the media who dared to get close, were locked in fear as those they televised to were in the same trauma. There standing over twenty five stories tall, towered a black metallic skeleton dragon lathered in blood with eight glowing red slits for eyes on the skull as they remained shut, savage claws and ebony hair hung on the back of the heavily spiked skull that looked to be consumed by blades with jagged edges. These blades ran down his back curving back in a nasty fashion like a fish hook practically. With a muzzle that seemed like that of demon more then a dragon but still bore the resemblance of such a mythical beast, deep within the ribcage and main center of his body pulsated blood lathered organs. The heart moved sending a deep booming sound throughout the silent air letting all heart the thunderous beat, all felt the vibration echo throughout their bodies, that included those who were sheltered in a vehicle or building. Even the muddy ground rippled heavily with each beat, nothing could escape it.
As the heart pulsated deeply, lungs slowly expanded and retracted letting huge plumes of both black smoke and steam rise from his parted jaws. With each beat of the massive red heart, blood spilled from all joints of the skeletal form and sloshing down the organs as muscles began to form and shift over the bones causing more torrents of blood to spill down. Behind the mighty beast hung a long whip like tail that lashed out making the air snap and dig very deep gouges into the muddy blood lathered near liquid mess.
Zuranna narrowing her eyes, gave a shaky breath as she locking her wings in place, glided high over head with her eight red eyes slowly drawing shut allowing all other senses take over. "The true form of Alucard... he is a demon dragon... a very monster from hell, more demon then dragon... do not look into his eyes, anyone who stares will gain no mercy..." the dragon whispered weakly as Walter fully soaked, took one last good look of the monster below standing over the gaping glowing white hole the demon had risen from, the man shut his eyes tightly. Integra though continued to watch Alucard, her very body trembled as it struck her hard and fast. Something like that lived in her mansion for near a hundred years and never had he transformed into anything close to what she saw now. "Zuranna... what happens if you look into his eyes?" the stern woman's voice wavered as she watched his body grind loudly with the muscles twitching and glistening on his skeletal form. Zuranna gave a mental dry laugh that was more like a whimper. "Your soul will be taken from your body to a place far worse then hell..." as those words sank in, Integra swallowing uneasily, shut her eyes as they continued to glide in the pouring night sky.
With the neck bones lathered in both blood and muscles grinding loudly, the demon Alucard slowly lowered his muzzle right for the bounded black Alucard. The man looking up at the monstrosity bore true fear in his red eyes as droplets of blood from the demon above sloshed onto his body. Smoke rose up as the blood melted anything it landed on. But even with his flesh melting from his face, the black Alucard trembling, kept his gaze to the shut eight red slits on the demonic skull leering over him. With jaws parting, violent embers lashed out as a tongue hung within the bottom jaw causing both drool and blood to slosh out "I am the reincarnation of true evil, the king of all darkness here on earth; I am Dracula!" All who heard his booming and very deep mental voice, cowered and plugged their ears from the pain as it was like a hot metal rod being jabbed through their skulls, a voice not meant for any ear be it undead, wolf or mortal.
Walter and Integra felt someone land heavily onto Zuranna's back and shield the two with strong arms making the pain lessen, not by much, but enough to silence their screams of pain. Integra opening her eyes peered up into the brilliant golden red eyes of Donovan who with gritted fangs nodded to them both. "I can't do much being he is the very first of us all... but it will do for now... this cannot last to long..." whispered the American king as Alucard uncaring of who wailed in pain, be it friend or ally; his eight red slits slowly began to pull apart letting beams of red light pour out like the very fires of hell "No copy will ever be matched to my own power and strength.. You will not win, you will not succeed... here you were created... here you will DIE!" as Donovan predicted, and with Zuranna's words of warning... With those violent words spoken, the demon Alucard's eyes flew open making the air suddenly fill with screams of tortured souls and true terror. With eight viciously glowing red eyes exposed and baring down on his chosen victim, Alucard parted his jaws fully as balls of black light began to gather into his mouth with the mixture of balls of bright light that wailed; souls pulled from those who didn't close their eyes in time.

"Kunisaku..." Ty whispered as he weakly looked around, the wolf king nodded sternly as they diverted their gaze to Alucard's pulsating heart as its beats were continued being heard by all, "I see it... the vampires... they're dropping like flies... the king of them all is using all his power, thus the energy from other vampires, they're not dead, but greatly weakened... no doubt even those on the other side of this world are collapsing... yet I give no mercy nor pity to the man he is going to inflict such an attack upon." The wolf spoke in a dark hushed tone. "all his power... can't he just crush that vampire duplicate?" Ty whispered. Kunisaku shook his head as he crossed his arms stiffly over his form with his intense gold eyes still on the demon vampire's chest, "when Dracula uses all his power like that... he destroys your body and link to ever come back to the living, and sends your soul to believe it or not... a place far worse then hell... whatever that man did... truly enraged the vampire king." The wolf spoke, Ty's ears twitched as he suddenly looked at the demon dragon before them with energy nearly fully collected.
"a true undead had died... could it have been... Seras?" murmured Ty with worry ringing in his voice. Kunisaku sighing, looked at the vampire king's heart still as he recalled that young gal he had seen first time at the motel, he had felt Alucard's mark on her, a royal feel... she was to be his new queen. Ty watched the wolf king, but got no answer as to who may have died... with a weak whimper, the servant of Donovan looked back out with concern to the entire scene unfolding before them, and there was nothing they could do but watch.

The black Alucard knew he was doomed and struggling against his chains, couldn't tear his eyes from the demon above him. That was when he screamed, the false Alucard screamed loud and fearfully as his drenched hat fell from his head. Yet no matter how loud he screamed, no one was watching, all eyes were shut. With terrified red eyes falling back up to his executioner, the man wailed as the last thing he saw was a giant blast of black light flying right form him.
As the demonic dragon watched his prey scream with his body burning up and fading from all existence, the memories flooded the vampire king's mind. The pain, his loss... Seras. The dragon's eyes narrowed as a deep growl left his bleeding jaws.
(Flashback)
Alucard smashed the feeding vampire from the screaming woman. With blood flying against the blazing flames, the man in black seemed to fade from sight as Alucard uncaring of that duplicate's location, fell to his right knee hard by the woman who was soaked in her own blood. Seras coughing heavily weakly lifted her fading gaze to the red eyes that looked down at her. The girl felt her throat was mangled and barely mending, she felt her life was slipping... she was dying. With a heavy cough, blood slipped down her face from the corners of her mouth as sad red eyes looked to the man kneeling beside her. "A... Alucard... I..." her feeble voice was barely audible and watered down from the blood filling her lungs. "Seras..." Alucard spoke in a dark tone as his eyes watched her own. The girl smiled sadly as she rising her trembling hand upward, planted her cold blood soaked palm onto the man's left cheek as the blood tears fled from the corners of her eyes. "I... Alu-"her eyes going wide became a foggy grey with the red going a faded pink and with a strangled gurgle, Seras's arm going limp fell to the ground heavily, spraying the blood soaked mud into the air. Alucard kneeling there beside his fallen chosen queen felt her life fade, her soul leaving her body... the man gave to a slow shaky breath as he understood... Seras Victoria was dead... and the one who caused it... Violent red eyes slammed to his left resting on the form of the duplicate vampire, and right then and there Alucard's rage soared.

Hours seemed to pass since the man's final screams were put to silence. Yet everyone was still frozen in place, eyes shut and shaky breaths leaving many. High in the sky as rain was still being unleashed, a lone black dragon flew with her king and allies on her back. Zuranna was the first of a select few dare devils to open her eyes as she took notice the heartbeat was no longer heard all around. Blinking to clear her vision, the American undead queen saw to her right a huge plume of steam bellowing forth as the rain poured onto the last remnants of lava as the ground closed once more bore the scars. With a weak growl rumbling through her drenched body, the dragon began to slowly descend. "Donovan... my friends... it looks to be over... I'm going to land..." with stomachs jumping, Integra clung to Walter as they keeping their eyes shut, felt the dragon's claws strike the ground hard making her body shake from the landing.
"Get off... please..." Zuranna's urgent voice made Walter and Integra open their eyes yet freeze. They saw through the bellowing steam a silhouette of a tall figure kneeling upon one knee and holding a body in his arms. "Best move..." Whispered Donovan as the king gracefully sliding off, Walter following after turned and holding his arms tenderly forth rested them onto Integra's form as she followed suit. With a weak nod of thanks to the man, with Walter keeping his left arm on Integra's stiff shoulders, the two turning fully faced the figure. Zuranna's body grinding behind them, the queen in her human form, stepped beside them with Donovan to her other side. The rain falling heavily still, began to cleanse the blood soaked ground, washing away the signs of the war from what seemed so long ago. Yet within the pounding rains, steam clearing more exposed a man covered in black ash clinging to his fallen queen.
As the rain fell onto the man's form, the four saw the black ash beginning to slowly wash away exposing red cloth. Integra and Walter were both at a loss for words at the sight before them. for the first time of ever knowing Alucard, they had never seen his true form and this night they did, and now... for the first time in their time of knowing this vampire, a man supposedly cruel and heartless... be it silent and muffled by the pouring rain, the four saw the shimmer of the red tears slipping down the man's pale face as shaky breaths muffled from the pounding rains were faintly heard. Alucard was crying; he was crying for his fallen love.
