Author Note: Thanks for the reviews Optimistic girl91.

All three of Cerberus's heads were licking their chops as Danny floated just outside of their bite range. "How to attack a three headed dog and survive?"

"Multi headed creatures can only be killed by destroying one head at a time." The lessons he was taught by The Belmonts of the past came to his mind.

"Glad I paid attention." He flew up. "The left head breathes poison, the right ice, and the center fire. Better go after the left one first." He grabbed the small axe on his back with his free hand. He flung the axe at the demon. The axe glowed and several energy axes appeared and flew at the demon.

"Is this the best you can do?" Cerberus's center head let out a huge burst of flame that engulfed the axes. Danny flew around in a wide arch. The fire blocked the right head's view. The left head followed and spat out a cloud of poison gas. Danny grabbed one of his metal crosses and flung it at the cloud. The cross shined with blue energy and the poison dissipated. Danny landed on top of the dog head and tossed his whip. It wrapped around the neck and Danny grabbed the end of the weapon. "Get off!"

"Down boy!" White energy charged from Danny and into the whip. The left head roared as the whip dug in and a loud snap filled the area. It limped downward.

"You insolent whelp!" The dog rolled onto his back.

Danny flew clear and landed several feet away. The whip was laying on the ground under the demon. "That took a lot of energy."

"This game is over!" The right head spat out a stream of blue steam at the downed Danny. Danny flew into the air just as the ground was frozen over. The center head breathed out fire that managed to hit him. Danny fell onto the frozen ground. His coat and armor were smoking. "I was just going to toy with you. But now I will bite each of your limbs off, one by one." The demon charged forward and his center head picked Danny up in his jaw. Cerberus's teeth were clamped around his chest. Just short of snapping him in half. "Any last words?" The right head slowly clapped around his legs.

"Holy Cross!" Danny was gripping his last cross tightly inside the demon's mouth. He exploded with white light. The center head was obliterated. The right head released Danny in time and the half ghost fell to the ground. His coat and armor were gone and he had burns all around his body.

"Your attacks are harmful to you." The demon laid down. The last head was panting. "I have never met a warrior who did more harm to himself that he did to his enemies."

"I guess I am one of a kind!" Danny managed to roll onto his back. "Just finish me! I can't save Sam like this."

"Your woman!" Cerberus chuckled, "I should have guessed!" The demon pushed himself up. "You may pass!" He moved to the side and fell back down.

"Thanks! But I can't really move right now." Danny lifted his head. "How about you go and save the day? I'll stay and watch the cave."

"You are an amusing mortal." The demon started to vanish. "I will soon regenerate. But I will give you three gifts. One for each head you managed to defeat." He disappeared. Danny suddenly glowed green and he jumped to his feet. His ruined clothes reappeared on him completely repaired. "I will restore your energy and your clothes. And lastly." A small collar with spikes on it appeared in Danny's hand. "For your familiar!"

Danny looked around and clipped the collar on his belt. "Thanks!"

"Now leave before I come back!" The voice came from three sources.

"I'm going!" Danny shot into the cave.

Danny walked through the cave and reappeared in Master City. He was about two miles away from Master Tower. "Sam!" He started to fly, but Simon walked out of a shadow.

"Don't you learn?"

"I can't leave her with that monster."

"Sure you can!" Simon walked over to him. "You have almost wasted six of the nine days. In three days, he will gain all of Lord Dracula's power. And Sam will die!" Simon looked him in the eye. "But she will live for those three days."

Danny reluctantly nodded, "So I should focus on gaining the power I need before the last day."

Simon smiled, "You can't take back what she has and will go through. But if you do things right, she will live through it." He stepped back and waved his hand toward a large shadow. It vanished and a large motorcycle was revealed. A heavily modified Harley. It sported black armor and plenty of places for holy weapons. "I thought you would like to add the final touches."

Danny slowly walked over to the bike. "Why?"

"I told you! My master deserves to rest in peace. Stop Vlad!" He disappeared into the shadows.

Danny looked to the tower. "Three days!"

Ace barked happily as Danny pushed his new bike into the small garage. He had gone to the safe house in the western district. The elemental site of earth was hidden somewhere in the area. "Miss me boy!" The ghost dog jumped into his arms and licked his face. Danny set him down and put the collar he had gotten from Cerberus. "I'm not sure why he wanted you to have it. But it does pull your look together."

A man in a brown robe walked in. "Welcome back my lord! Is their anything that you require?"

"I need weapons for this bike."

The man bowed, "I will obtain what you need from the armory!" He walked out.

Danny sighed and sat down on the floor. "Sadly enough I don't have the energy to go out tonight." He leaned against the wall. Ace curled up next to him. "Stay strong, Sam! I'll come for you as soon as I can."

Vlad looked out his window as the sun began to rise. "Three days remain until I achieve my ultimate victory."

"The ghost boy must be dealt with!" His darker voice echoed in around the room.

"Why should I bother? What can he do in only three days?"

"It took only one night for The Belmonts to stop Dracula."

Vlad nodded as he agreed with his dark voice. "What to do? Even throwing his best friend at him only sharpened his resolve." He closed the shutters as the sun light started to reach out to him. "I must have a weapon that will stop him."

"The girl!"

Vlad shook his head. "Tried and failed! It is tearing him up inside, but it hasn't stopped him fully."

The dark voice grew louder. "You have only been using the thoughts and ideas of her pain. You need to make him see it in person. You use her as a shield. But you must use her as a sword."

Vlad smiled, "Yes! Instead of a side track!" He jumped to his feet. "I will put her right in front of him. Where he will have no choice but to go through her to stop me."

The dark voice laughed. "Yes! Either way, you win."

"I win!"
