Warning: If you want to know the base of this story, read my Van Helsing 2, for this is merely a revision of my original story.

Disclaimer: Universal Studios, Stephen Sommers, and the crew of Van Helsing own the base characters, but I own Alvonia Elra, Sereno Harven, Enchantress, Darkbane, and Hervok Vorra. I don't own Vampire, The Gillman, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, or the Banshee. Thanks.

Author's Note: This is going to serve as the first piece of the puzzle to my story. It is going to be longer than ten chapters and longer than my Van Helsing 2. The being that gets captured in this chapter will help polish the plot, as will the other characters. If you read "The Memories Revised" and "Mission London", you can put two and two together. That is all I am saying. If you want more info, simply e-mail me! Thanks for the reviews!

Van Helsing: Legends of Blood Reign

Chapter 8: Explanations Explored: Part 2: Fully Divided

Enchantress turned to Darkbane. She held her hands out and a tarred piece of parchment appeared. The cloaked man took the paper and saw that an insignia was sprawled out in black ink.

"Where did you get this?" the man asked in a deep voice. Enchantress pointed back to the door that they had come from and pointed to the paper.

"Valerious the Elder left Vlad with this!" she said. Darkbane nodded and pointed to the paper.

"Note their insignia!" he exclaimed. The cloaked man's eyes caught on the paper and the Valerious insignia burnt. He looked up to the two and smiled.

"And the others?" he asked. Enchantress sighed.

"If you meet Miles, he has everything in order. He did run away but slowly crept back to his Fortress with the help of the Left Hand" she informed her master. The man smiled.

"I shall meet Miles. In the mean time, go to where smoke filled the clouds. I will make sure that Miles knows what to do with the girl" he spat. They nodded and changed to their vampire forms.

"We shall leave!" Darkbane announced. The cloaked man smiled and disappeared in a flash. Castle Dracula shook under the force of the wind.


Gabriel took the Stunning Weapon and threw it to the ground. It was too heavy upon his back. He held his Tojo Blades out and ignited them. The blades spun faster than ever and he sent them toward the oncoming creature. Down below, Thonious had just changed to a vampire when Miles hit the back of his head. The Shape Shifter yelled and changed back to human form. He turned around and yelled a curse at Miles. The doctor held up a needle full of black liquid.

"Blasts to you, Miles!" He growled. The doctor smiled and lunged the needle at his neck. Alvonia and Carl were too far away to help. Gabriel was by the door. From out of the darkness came a creature with large fangs. It had grey, mottled skin and dark black hair. It was none other than a Gargoyle. Gabriel held the Tojo Blades out and ignited them. They spun and soared at the creature. It growled as its arm was cut clean off. Van Helsing turned to see Carl rummaging through the weapon bag. Alvonia had changed back to the Banshee and flew forward. The Gargoyle held its mouth open, growl emitting from its lungs.

"Van Helsing!" she exclaimed. He put the Tojo Blades away and withdrew his two sabers. He sent the blades into the creature's chest. It growled and lunged its only arm at the Monster Hunter. He grinned and jumped backward. Carl looked up from the weapon bag and withdrew a small bottle that was full of blue liquid.

"Van Helsing!" he yelled. Gabriel turned and caught the oncoming bottle.

"What do I do with it?" he asked. Carl motioned to take the cap off. He nodded in reply and spun the cap off. He pushed to bottle in his hand forward, liquid spraying out. The Gargoyle screeched as the liquid burnt a hole in its stone body. Down below, Miles was scurrying away, Thonious in front of him. Van Helsing turned as did Alvonia and Carl. Alvonia, still the Banshee, flew down, a scream coming from her open mouth. Thonious wouldn't even turn to look, but Miles did. He laughed and turned the knob and the wall opening closed. Alvonia went to soar through the wall but she suddenly changed back to her human form, against her own will.

"What happened?" Gabriel asked. She looked up, clutching her stomach.

"I don't know" she replied, her voice cold and harsh. Gabriel soared down the stairs. Carl followed after him. She fell to the ground, her eyes changing from dark brown to green.

"How can we help?" Van Helsing asked. Carl kneeled down and looked at the bullet wounds in her stomach.

"It would seem that the bullets used in Dr. Mile's pistol contained a foreign material that interacted a different way with Alvonia" he said, looking up at her.

"Miles did tell me that there was a cure for this, this sickness within me" she said, clutching the wound again. Carl sighed.

"Now, Miss Alvonia, if you will cooperate with me, let me examine the wounds! I promise that it won't hurt!" he said. She closed her eyes and groaned.

"What about Thonious?" she asked. Gabriel sighed as he noticed that even Alvonia in her ghostly form couldn't brake through the solid walls. Miles would have something to do with it. He remembered the conversation back in the Vatican.

"To fulfill his quest, he needed the bane of a Werewolf, Vampire, blood from the line of Royalty, the heart of that who shifts their shape…" Carl had said.

"Carl, do you remember what you said back in Rome, the conversation with the Cardinal?" he asked. Carl looked up and nodded.

"Yes!" he replied.

"Miles refers to his 'master'!" he stopped, looking at the wounded woman before them. "Alvonia, you've seen Harven! Where does he live?" he asked. She looked up, her eyes a mixed color.

"Ugh, I'm not sure" she replied. Her eyes turned to a coal black and she held her head back.

"Miles was taking Thonious to his master. As we said back in the Vatican, Harven would need the heart of the one who shifts their shape" he stopped and looked at the place where the wall had opened.

"So our destination now is to?" Carl asked. Gabriel looked at Alvonia quickly.

"Save Thonious and find the cure for Alvonia"


Miles held the needle up to Thonious' neck. The Shape Shifter's pupils had changed to white.

"Cooperate and your life will be saved" Miles whispered. Thonious attempted to change into another form, but he couldn't. The serum that Miles had injected into his blood was restraining him.

"What have you done to me?" he growled. Miles smiled and pushed Thonious toward the window. The laboratory was silent.

"Only what my master commands" he replied, his voice shaky.

"I think that this whole 'master' business can be put to rest, ya cook!" he yelled. Miles pushed the needle into the Shape Shifter's neck and the rest of the black liquid filled his veins.

"What are you doing to me?" he asked, his voice rising with every word.

"Only what my master commands!" Miles growled, his voice sharp. The glass window flied open and the wind poured in. Sleet poured from the sky, pelting upon the soft dirt ground. Miles pushed him forth a little.

"My master will come for you, and then the rest of your kind" he announced. Thonious closed his eyes as the cold rain poured upon his face. He tried once again to change shape, but the black substance still flowed through his veins.

"Who is this 'master'?" Thonious asked. A wretched smile spread upon Mile's face.

"There he is" he said, pointing toward the sky. Through the pelting rain and fog came a silhouetted shape. Within the good of the cloak came two blood red eyes. "There he is" he repeated. Thonious squinted his eyes and looked into the sky.


Gabriel helped Alvonia to her feet. Her long hair draped over her eyes.

"Now, the only way to get out of here is to go up" Carl told them. Gabriel nodded and looked up.

"Alvonia?" he asked. She turned.

"Yes?" she replied quietly.

"I am going to carry you up these stairs! I am afraid that you couldn't make it" he said. Carl rolled his eyes and went back to the weapon bag. He dug around in it for a moment and pulled out a small bottle (it was larger than the one Gabriel had used on the Gargoyle). He took the lid off carefully and pulled from it the same herb as last time. He went up and placed it on her forehead.

"Thank you, Carl" she said, breathing in and out slower. Van Helsing nodded to Carl and he picked Alvonia up from the ground. The three went up quietly until Carl broke the silence.

"And how do you suppose we find Byblethonious?" he asked. Gabriel sighed as they reached the top step. He placed Alvonia on her feet. She smiled as she felt warmer. The herb was working.

"It would seem that you are easily healed?" Gabriel asked. She nodded her head and turned to the door.

"Yes" was her only reply.

"Van Helsing?" Carl asked. Gabriel gasped and remembered the question.

"The Cardinal told us to avoid the land of Transylvania" he told them.

"Yes, and there is a good reason for that! You don't want to go back to that dreadful place!" Carl replied haughtily. Van Helsing nodded.

"You're right, Carl. I wouldn't want to go back there, but that wasn't my point." He looked again to Alvonia.

"I know what you are thinking, Monster Hunter" she said. He felt hope rise in his heart. "I know where Sereno Harven lives".


Author's Note: Now, the part where Gabriel brings Alvonia up the stairs…That doesn't mean that she's going to be a Mary-Sue that everyone falls for! Alvonia and someone else are looking into the future. Gabriel doesn't want to fall in love again because of what happened with Anna. If the same thing happened to a new love, he wouldn't be happy! Thanks! And, here is the next chapter preview!

Chapter 9: Explanations Explored: Part 3: On the road again (tentative title)

The cloaked man held his clawed hand out. The fingernails scratched the Shape Shifter's neck.

"And now, you know what it feels like to be held under the grasp of another!" Harven growled. Thonious gasped for air as the power left him. All feeling went away from his body, and now entered pain. The vampire was draining all life from Thonious. "Give me life!" Harven growled.

That's all, folks! Chapter 9 Coming Soon!

Mistress of Destruction: Thanks for the review. I know what you mean by not seeing POTC in a few months…I just thought Geoffrey Rush would be a good choice because he can be harsh at sometimes. And, about watching the movie over and over, I did! It was boring, because I went back and paused that scene back and forth, typing like mad! Thanks for the review! Happy Holidays!

Artemis1860: Thanks much for the review! I am sorry for confusing you! When I upload my document, I sometimes forget to put the devision line where I had seperation stars in my Microsoft Word Doc....since doesn't upload that kind of stuff. Anyway! Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
