Taylor was about to hold her breathe, when the water stopped, and began to lower down. She was relieved that her friends saved her from drowning. The doors from both sides of the room she was in rose up, and she said, "Bentley, Vin, Kit, Penelope, thank you for saving my life."

"You're welcome, Taylor, I was surprised that Nosfearatu decided to pull sort of the same trap that Clockwork set for Sly," Bentley said.

Penelope soon said, "Well, Bentley, I think I am once again truly wish to try again with our relationship that we ended during the Time Scandal, you were right about Le Paradox using me since Ms. Decibel did talk to me of what happened while you, Vin, Taylor and Tess were in Halloween Town."

Tess soon said, "Excuse me, I know you want to have a moment for love, but maybe we can do that after we defeat Nosfearatu."

Bentley soon said, "Tess is right, sorry Penelope, but I promise, after this, we are going on a long date around the world, but not during an event in time."

Penelope frowned, and said, "Roger that Bentley."

Taylor soon looked at Kit and Vin, and asked, "Anyway, what have you two found out about Nosfearatu?"

Kit soon said, "Affirmative, we even found out his true name, Braham Drake, he got his name and his castle from the 1922 German silent horror film "Nosferatu." In this film, a vampire that is different from the description of Count Dracula, made by Braham Stoker, but unlike Dracula, the vampire, Count Orlok, can cast a shadow and can have a reflection in the mirror, but he can't create vampires, for Orlok lived in soil that had the Bubonic Plague, or Black Death, which when he bites people it will cause the plague to spread. He felt invincible, and even went to England to spread the plague, but due to a prophecy, a woman of pure of heart sacrificed herself to trick Orlok to not seek shelter from the sun and was said to be the first vampire to die by sunlight. Now, Braham Drake is actually a warlock, but it is said he was fascinated with vampires, and wished to become one. However, he didn't want to have blood in his hands that would send him to have a death penalty or a life sentence if he failed to become one, so he tried to find other ways to make him something similar to a vampire. This caused him to study on creatures, like for example the Gogol, which is a mythical monster known to grow stronger by feeding on a victim's fears, hence how he decided to become a new type of vampire called a fearpire, which as he said is a vampire that feeds on one emotion, fear, under a new villain name, Nosfearatu."

Taylor soon said, "So, Braham was vampire fanatic, wishes to become one, but doesn't want to be in jail for killing someone, so he wants to feed on fear, this is why he needed Neyla, and Krew to make the weapon," she soon looked at Vin, and asked, "Speaking of which, what is the intel about a weapon?"

Vin soon replied, "Well we discovered that it is a bit similar to the Death Ray that Clockwork had built in the Krakarov Volcano in Russia, but it is at a lake next to the castle, it looks like a radio tower, and Nosfearatu dubs this weapon the Fear Wave, which once is operational, will go in not only in this world, but other worlds as well, bringing holographic images of people's worst fears, and it will energize Nosfearatu, making him a fearpire. But there were two things in the way, one is the one thing to use as a power source, the Dark Diamond, and the other is a rumored file made by a boy whose last name is Fearbrave."

Taylor was shocked, and said, "Shadow, and as for the Dark Diamond, I think we're in trouble, I think we left it in the Hideout."

Everyone soon heard a laugh, and Nosfearatu said, "So, the bat's out of the bag, now that I know vhere my Dark Diamond, and I vill become a fearpire, but if you vish to stop me, then there is a door vith a bat made out of bricks on the vall, but you have to do something first."

Everybody looked at the door Nosfearatu was talking about, which was on top of some stairs, but there were somethings that were blocking it. Bentley soon said, "Looks like Nosfearatu is really going retro on the way to get to him. Anyway, it seems to get past the door, we need all seven of Nosfearatu's Treasure Keys!"

Taylor soon looked at the three doors, which had different symbols, the one on the left had a Beaker Symbol above it, the second one, which is the center, and behind the stairs, has a Rocket Symbol above it, and the third on the right had an Hourglass Symbol.

Taylor soon looked, then said, "I think I need this time Vin, Kit, and Penelope, for I believe that the three remaining Treasure Keys will be guarded by the three scientists."

The three people mentioned by Taylor soon went to her, and Kit soon said, "I suggest I go with you first."

Taylor smiled, nodded, then looked at everyone else, and said, "I'm sorry for this short notice, and not talking, but I need to start, I'll talk to you after I take on the first scientist."

Everyone else nodded, then Kit went with Taylor and Tess, and into the door with the Beaker Symbol.

So, Taylor now knows the info on Nosfearatu, and his weapon, and has to faced three more villains, and get three more Treasure Keys to stop him. Will she, Tess, and Kit succeed with the first villain? Anyway, if you're reading this, thanks for reading, and thank YouTuber AlbirdVampPrinceMK2, whose music I used for atmosphere.
