Episode 313: Pokévania!
About a day had passed since saving the Dragon Kingdom from the grip of Dr. N. Brio and his army of mutants and rescued Harley. By then, Ray, Mighty, and Julie-Su were fitting in nicely in the mansion. Kairi looked at her new Gloom and she saw how ready this new Gloom was ready to evolve, so she uses the Leaf Stone she had to evolve her new Gloom into a Vileplume. Sly was writting in the Thievius Raccoonus about his latest escapade on Mobius.
"We managed to defeat N. Brio and saved the Dragon Kingdom, but we didnt even come close to finding out where the Brotherhood of Darkness were hiding at. So far, the members we figured out were Bowser, King K. Rool, Rosky Boots, Dr. Albert Wily, Dr. Eggman, Sigma, Lord Fredrik, Gnasty Gnorc, Ripto, the Sroceress, and of course their leader Ganondorf; but there's a sicekening feeling that there could be other members apart of this. According to Sora, Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket would have had a hand in this, if he hadn't stopped him. I had to admit, I thought it was crazy before this whole thing started, but it's even crazier since we got Ray, Mighty, and Julie-Su joining us."
"And regarding Sora, he was raised by a single mother, not knowing his father, having to have been killed by a drunk driver on his way home, Delia was able to raise Sora all by herself. And right after his tenth birthday, Sora got his first Pokémon from Professor Oak, whom treated Delia like his own daughter and Sora as his own grandson. I had to admit, I had my doubts about some certain Pokémon Sora has with him, like Noctowl, Decidueye, and Ariados, but he assured me there were friendly, but I wasn't too sure. Noctowl reminded me so much of Clockwerk since he and his Fiendish Five killed my parents and made me an orphan, and Ariados reminded me of the Contessa since she was a member of the Klaw Gang and used the Clockwerk Eyes to hypnotize criminals into telling her where they hid their stash."
"I knew Sora was right when he told me that Noctwol, Decidueye, and Ariados aren't anything like Clockwerk and the Contessa since none of them hypnotized people into helping them or fed on jealousy or hatred just like Clockwerk. And I knew he was right when he said Clockwerk would make Team Rocket look like amatuers compared to Clockwerk because of his intellect and immortality. I felt some respect for Sora since he is the general reason Team Rocket is no longer around to steal other people's Pokémon, but evil still lingers because of the Brotherhood of Darkness and others."
In the backyard, Murray wanted to go a few rounds with Ursaring, since he had already sparred with Hitmonchan, Primeape, and the other Fighting Types Sora and Kairi had. Sly and Bentley the Turtle were watching the scene as Murray was getting ready.
"You sure Murray wants to do this, Sly?" Bentley asked.
"I'm sure Bentley. Sora went along with it because he wants his Pokémon to be ready for anything coming their way, and so do we," Sly said.
"Okay, Ursaring, Murray is a tough nut to break, so don't expect it to be easy," Sora said. Ursaring nodded and stepped up to fight.
"Get ready, teddy bear! Because I am giving you a picnic you won't ever forget!" Murray said. Ursaring roared, ready for anything the pink hippo can throw at him. "The Murray awaits for your first move!" Ursaring didn't waste time and headed for Murray to swipe at him with Metal Claw. Murray, having to watch loads of wrestling matches dodges and grabs him by the arm and throws him over his head. Ursaring gets back up and comes at Murray with Slash. Murray dodges and gave him a sock in the face, but Ursaring wasn't going down that easily. "The Murray likes your spirit! Show me your best shot!" Ursaring comes at the hippo with another Slash attack, but Murray comes at the hibernator Pokémon with his fist sticking out. Ursaring swipes as Murray dodges, he gives him a sock in the face. Ursaring forms a ball of energy and hurls it right at Murray, shocking Sora, Pikachu, Sly, and Bentley.
"Whoa! Ursaring just learned to use Focus Blast!" Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
Ursaring gave Murray a blast of Focus Blast, sending Murray flying. He makes a rough landing on his stomach. Ursaring roars in victorious. Murray gets back up and smiles at the bear Pokémon.
"The Murray admits defeat. You have earned your win!" Murray said as Ursaring smiled.
"You were awesome too, Murray. You never gave up even once," Sora said.
"Pi, Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed.
"Thanks, my spiky-headed chum. Ursaring is lucky to have a trainer like you," Murray said. Sora said. Kubfu was watching closely and it looked right at Sora. It knew how strong his Ursaring is just by how Sora trained him. And wondered if it can be just as strong. Kubfu jumped out of hiding and stood before Sora, Pikachu, and the Cooper Gang. "Another one?"
"Kubfu!" Kubfu said.
"Is that a bear?" Sly asked.
"I think it's a Pokémon," Sora said.
"But what kind is it?" Bentley asked.
"One way to find out," Sora said, taking out his Pokédex and scanned it.
Kubfu, the Wushu Pokémon
Type: Fighting
Kubfu trains hard to perfect its moves. If Kubfu pulls the long white hair on its head, its fighting spirit heightens and power wells up from the depths of its belly.
"So it's a Kubfu. Gotta say that I never seen one before," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Fu, fu, Kubfu, Kub, Kub, Kubfu!" Kubfu said, taking a fighting stance.
"Wait, are you saying you're challenging me into a battle?" Sora asked.
"Kub," Kubfu nodded. Kubfu points at Ursaring. "Kubfu, Kub!"
"And the one you want to fight is Ursaring?" Sora asked.
"Kubfu!" Kubfu said.
"Okay, if that's what you want, then that's what you're going to get!" Sora said. He turned to Ursaring. "You still willing rock?" Ursaring nodded. Ursaring got ready to fight Kubfu. Kubfu was analyzing its larger opponent and studied his movements. "Okay Ursaring! Use Focus Blast!" Ursaring forms Focus Blast and sends it right at Kubfu. The wushu Pokémon dodges and heads right towards Ursaring and slams its fist into Ursaring. "That was an impressive Rock Smash! Okay, Ursaring! Use Metal Claw!" Ursaring swings his claws at Kubfu as it dodges with ease, letting the attacks flow like a river. Kubfu starts to build up focus and then gave Ursaring a punch in the gut.
"Was that Focus Punch?" Murray asked.
"It was. Kubfu was building up its focus and lands a hit onto Ursaring," Bentley said.
"Great power can come in small packages," Sly said.
"That Kubfu is something else. I knew it was stronger than it looked. Also, it's so calm and collective. Let's see how it handles this. Ursaring! Use Play Rough!" Sora ordered. Ursaring comes at Kubfu to pummel it. Kubfu charges at Ursaring and the two start pummeling each other. Sora and the Cooper Gang watched on with awe.
"What attack is Kubfu using now?" Sly asked.
"Kubfu is using an attack called Close Combat! The user heads right on in without any protection. It also lowers Kubfu's defense and special defense stats," Sora said. Ursaring was giving it his all, but the fight with Murray was taking its toll on him, but he had to hang on. Ursaring and Kubfu kept going until they both ended up in a double knockout. Sora went over to Ursaring and helped him up. "You fought enough for one day. You should rest for the rest of the day." Ursaring smiled as Sora called Kubfu back to his Pokéball. Sora went over to Kubfu and picked the little bear Pokémon in his arms. "You were really awesome, Kubfu. A Pokémon with your fighting spirit is always welcomed here."
"Fu," Kubfu said.
"So, how about we go and have a talk with Professor Oak and see what he has to say about you," Sora said.
"Good idea, because I'm very curious about Kubfu too," Bentley said. Sora carried Kubfu in his arms. Inside, Rarity was brushing Iris's hair.
"I must say, Iris, your hair is very lovely," Rarity said.
"Thank you, Rarity. I spent my days brushing it, keeping it nice and clean," Iris said.
"Oh, it shows. You simply must tell me your secret," Rarity said.
"There's no secret to it. I just do what I do best," Iris said. She spots Sora and the Cooper Gang with a new Pokémon in his arms. "Sora, what is that you're carrying?"
"You mean this little guy? It's a Kubfu I found in the backyard. We're on our way to Professor Oak's lab to have a talk about it," Sora said.
"Kubfu," Kubfu said.
"Oh, it's so adorable," Rarity said.
"Adorable and pretty tough. This little guy challenged me in a battle and ended in a double knockout," Sora said.
"Gracious," Rarity said.
Sora, Pikachu, and the Cooper Gang all head down to Professor Oak's lab. They're joined by Iris and Rarity to hear what the Pokémon Professor has to say. He was amazed and delighted to see Kubfu with his own eyes.
" My, my, this quite a find, Sora," Professor Oak said.
"Have you ever come across one of these before, professor?" Sora asked.
"Yes. I came across a Kubfu when I was a little bit older than you are now. The Kubfu I met was under the training of a trainer I met on the Isle of Armor in the Galar region. That trainer's name was Mustard," Professor Oak said.
"Who's Mustard?" Sora asked.
"Mustard was the Champion of the Galar region, but a Gym Leader who specializes in Fighting Type Pokémon before that time. Nowadays, he is known as a Dojo Master," Professor Oak explained. "Judging how this little one looks I would say it was training in the Tower of Waters."
"What is the Tower of Waters?" Rarity asked.
"The Tower of Waters is one of the two Towers on the Isle of Armor. It's said that the Kubfu training there will evolve into an Urshifu in Rapid Strike Style while the Kubfu training in the Tower of Darkness, the Tower of Waters's counterpart, the residing Kubfu will evolve into Urshifu Single Strike Style."
"Rapid Strike and Single Strike Styles. Whoa," Sora said on awe.
"Pika?" Pikachu also said in awe.
"Mustard must have known this little one has wondered off, so he might be looking for it. I could give him a call," Professor Oak said.
"Good idea. We can do that," Sora said.
Over to the Isle of Armor, an old man, wearing a green shirt with a blue paw print and yellow undershirt as well as white pants was just returning home. He also wore sneakers and also wore a bowler hat with green highlights. His wife is a younger woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a lime green shirt with two sides revealing her torso and wore white pants, lime green heels with purple tongues. She has a turquoise eye shadow, lime green earrings and has a gold bracelet. She hears the phone ringing and answers it.
"Hello, you've reached the house of Mustard," the woman answered. The picture phone shows to have Sora on the screen.
"Um, hi, is Mustard home right now?" Sora asked.
"Yes, my husband has just returned home. May I ask for the reason of your call, young man?" The woman asked.
"Well, the reason I'm calling is because there's a Pokémon here that doesn't belong here, but belongs down there in Galar," Sora said.
"Is that so?" The woman asked.
"Yeah," Sora said.
"Honey, what is this about a Pokémon?" The old man asked.
"I was about to get you, dear. This boy says he came across a Pokémon he is not familiar with and says it came from here," Honey said. He looked over to Sora.
"I see. And may I ask for your name, son?" The old man asked.
"Yeah, my name's Sora," Sora answered.
"Sora. Now that's a name I have heard before. And what kind of Pokémon have you come across recently?" The old man asked.
"Well, it's this," Sora said, picking up Kubfu and waved at him. "Professor Oak and I thought maybe it was one from the Tower of Waters."
"Ah, I was wondering where this little one had wondered off to. You have done the right thing by informing me about this. I am Mustard and this is my wife Honey," Mustard introduced.
"Hello," Honey greeted.
"Hi," Sora greeted back.
"I was looking forward in meeting you one day, Sora. Professor Oak has told me quite about you," Mustard said.
"He has?" Sora asked.
"Yes. I also knew your father, Sora. He was a good friend, and a fine man. And I must say, I have heard about your accomplishments in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn Pokémon Leagues. Winning three League tournaments is something no one has ever accomplished. Your father would certainly be proud," Mustard said. Sora smiled, knowing how right he is.
"Dear, shouldn't you be talking about the lost Kubfu?" Honey reminded her husband.
"Yes, of course, dear. Thank you for reminding me. I can see Kubfu has taken a shine to you, young Sora," Mustard said.
"How can you tell, Mr. Mustard?" Sora asked.
"This little one has never opened up to anyone, not even myself. Apparently, the reason Kubfu left because it wishes to find a worthy trainer for itself and has traveled to Kanto to choose. And apparently, it has chosen you," Mustard said.
"Is that why you wanted to battle me, Kubfu?" Sora asked.
"Kub," Kubfu nodded.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"And the only way to make sure I was the trainer you're looking for is by challenging me first?" Sora asked. Kubfu nodded. He turned to Mustard on the screen. "Is it really okay with you, Mr. Mustad?"
"Of course. Kubfu has traveled a great distance to meet you and I would say it was worth the trip. I only ask that you take good care of Kubfu," Mustard said.
"I promise that I will do what I can to make Kubfu stronger," Sora said. He looked over at Kubfu and took out a Pokéball. "Are you ready?" Kubfu nodded and pressed the button on the Pokéball and flows inside. Stars swirls around the Pokéball to confirm the catch. "Welcome to the team, Kubfu."
"Kubfu will be missed more so. And your new Kubfu will evolve into a fine Urshifu. And it will be thanks to you, Sora," Mustard said.
"Thank you, Mr. Mustard. I'll take good care of Kubfu," Sora said. He lets Kubfu out of its Pokéball. "How would like to meet Kairi, little guy?" Kubfu smiled at its new trainer. Professor Oak walked in the room.
"Good idea, Sora. You do that while I speak with Mustard," Professor Oak said.
"Samuel, it's been many years. I trust you have some Pokémon poetry you would like to share?" Mustard asked.
"Of course," Professor Oak said as Sora, Pikachu, and Kubfu left the lab to head for Kairi's house. Upon arriving, Kairi's reaction to Kubfu was how he expected.
"Oh my gosh, it's so cute!" Kairi gushed as she gave Kubfu a warm hug. Kubfu looked right at the mouse Pokémon.
"Don't fight it, Kubfu. Trust me." - Pikachu subtitle. Kubfu caved in as she rubbed the wushu Pokémon's back.
"You are so very cute, Kubfu. Sora is so lucky to have a little cutie like you," Kairi cooed.
Later, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, and Meowth were getting set to depart for a new world. Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, and Rottytops were coming along for the ride and they agreed to call in reinforcements when things get hairy. Sora and Kairi were bringing along Gliscor, the Alolan Marowak, Dusknoir, Weavile, Houndoom, Mismagius, Vileplume, Cursola, Mawile, and Sinistea. Before they were leaving, Yuta handed Kairi a cracked pot and explained that a Sinsitea can evolve into a Polteageist. She used the Cracked Pot on Sinistea and then evolved into a Polteageist.
"You all set to go?" Alia asked.
"If we're gonna find the Brotherhood of Darkness, this is the clue we need to put a stop to them for good," Sora said.
"Well, I found a world that seems to be a very likely to be their base of operations. It's just outside a large castle. Just be sure you be careful since it looks so huge," Alia said. She activates a dimensional rift and the group consisted of Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, and Kazooie all entered through the dimensional rift and enters through and all arrived in front of a large castle.
"So, this is the place," Shantae said.
"What do you guys think?" Charmy asked.
"Looks pretty creepy," Ray said.
"Doesn't look like something you woud see in Beauty and the Beast," Meowth said. "That's if you cut out the talking furniture."
"We need to get in," Kairi said.
"She's right. The Brotherhood of Darkness might see us if we stand around here like a heard of Tauros, waiting to stampede," Sora said.
"I rather not be seen by the bad guys, thank you very much," Mugman said.
"You worry too much, Mugman. What's the worst that can happen?" Cuphead asked as the group headed for the castle doors. Upon entering, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, and Kazooie all looked around as lightning crashes. They all felt uneasy how the castle looked. The mainhall looked like something they would see in a vampire movies.
"Man, this place looked creepy outside," Pit said.
"What's the matter, angel boy? Scared?" Shantae asked.
"I'm not scared. I just don't like the idea of being in a haunted castle, that's all," Pit said.
"Ooh, scary," Kazooie said with her voice sounding ghoulishy, scaring Pit.
"Cut it out, Kazooie," Banjo scolded.
Bats were hanging above them as the group all ventured in the castle hall. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, and Kazooie keeps on going through the hall as they all hear a growling sound.
"Who's doing that?" Mighty asked.
"Not me," Espio said.
"I'm not doing anything," Rottytops said.
"Well, keep it down, whoever is doing that," Knuckles said. They keep on going as the growling keeps growing louder. And Knuckles growled with annoyance. "I said cut it out!"
"It's probably Meowth's stomach," Vector said.
"Don't look at me, I already ate before we got here," Meowth said. "How about you, Bolo?"
"Don't look at me neither," Bolo said.
"Nobody was looking at you anyway," Sky said. The growling got even louder.
"Maybe it's behind us," Julie-Su suggested.
"You sure about that, Juli-EEEEEEEEE!" Mugman shrieked.
"Shh! You want the Brotherhood of Darkness to hear us, Mugman?" Sora asked.
"It don't matter when something big and scary is looking right at us!" Mugman said, pointing at something and shaking as he turned pale white.
"What are you going on abou- ooh!" Knuckles said.
"Not you too, Knuckles!" Sora said as the echidna makes him turn as the rest of the group turned to see a large creature with big horns going forward. The demon was heading right towards them as it snarled. "RUN!"
"YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL ME TWICE!" Meowth yelled.
Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, and Kazooie all started to run through the hall with the demon pursuing them. They all run into the next room and slams the door. That didn't stop the demon as it broke though the walls and destroys the door. They keep on running as they came across some stairs going down. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, and Kazooie were trapped. They knew this demon was going to kill them all if they didn't do something, so they had to fight it off. Pit got his weapon ready.
"If I'm going to die, I might as well go down fighting! Get ready, underworld scum! I'm ready for you!" Pit said as a dragon flies at the demon, destroying it as it vanished in a beam of light.
"Where did that come from?" Banjo asked.
"I don't know," Pit said.
"I do," a new voice said. The demon's killer stepped forward and took a look at the group. Their savoir is a young woman with long blonde hair and blue-green eyes, wearing short emerald green tunic with gold cuffs on its short sleeves, silver decorative linings around the edges, long brown leather gloves above her elbows, short black shorts, a thick golden sash around her waist that reaches toward her above her ankles, long white stockings with emerald green ribbons for the edges, and golden shoes. "You don't seem to be from around here."
"And what gave that away?" Rottytops asked.
"Well, just by looking at your strange attire and everything else. You should count yourselves lucky that I was around before that demon devoured you," the young woman said.
"You mean you got in the way," Pit pouted.
"She's right. She did save us, so we should be grateful to her," Kairi said. "And we are grateful to you."
"None of you seems to be evil, so I can trust you. My name is Maria Renard," the young woman introduced herself. "And who are you?"
"I'm Sora."
"I'm Kairi."
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"I'm Meowth."
"Pit."
"Knuckles."
"Julie-Su."
"Vector."
"Espio."
"Charmy."
"Mighty."
"Ray."
"Shantae."
"Bolo."
"Sky."
"Rottytops."
"Banjo."
"Kazooie."
"Cuphead."
"Mugman."
"Such strange names," Maria said.
"Anyway, Maria, isn't it? You wouldn't know anything about some bad guys being here? Guys who said they're from a group calling itself the Brotherhood of Darkness?" Sora asked.
"Brotherhood of Darkness? I'm afraid that I don't know anything about that," Maria said. "Why are you here? This castle is no place for children."
"We thought we could find a clue about the group I just mentioned to you. And they might be using this castle as their secret base or something," Sora said.
"I see," Maria said.
"How come you're here, Maria?" Shantae asked.
"If you must know, I'm looking for someone. A friend of mine who vanished a year ago. Are any of you familar with the name of Belmont?" Maria asked, leaving the group dumbfounded.
"Belmont?" Sora asked. He turned to the rest of the group, who just shrugged their shoulders. "Not really. Who are you talking about?"
"Richter Belmont of the Belmont family. He's the one I'm looking for," Maria said. Maria then had a realization. "Wait a moment! Could this Brotherhood of Darkness be connected to Richter's disappearance?"
"If those guys are behind it, then, it's a good thing we're here," Banjo said.
"I'm with the bear, because those guys don't mess around," Meowth said.
"Anyway, we should go in together. And save Richter," Shantae said.
"I was about to suggest that anyway," Sora said. Maria joins Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, and Kazooie in the castle. As they ventured through the castle, Sora was explaining to Maria that they were all from different worlds.
"You say you're from different worlds?" Maria asked.
"Yeah. Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, and I are from a world where human beings all live with creatures called Pokémon. That's what these three are right here," Sora said, gesturing to Pikachu, Angel, and Meowth. "We've been working together foiling the Brotherhood of Darkness, so we're working together to find out where they're hiding at, so this castle is the most likely place."
"As you say. But I doubt any demon would share this castle with others than their master, Dracula," Maria said.
"Wait a minute! Dracula? As in Count Dracula?" Sora asked, raising a brow.
"Yes. Does Dracula exist in your world?" Maria asked.
"No, because Dracula is a thing of fiction where we're from," Kairi said.
"Dracula as fiction?" Maria asked.
"Just how is Richter connected to Dracula?" Sky asked.
"The Belmonts are a family of vampire hunters used holy powers to defeat evil. Among the Belmonts are those like Simon Belmont, a hundred years ago. Trevor Belmont before him. Going back to Christopher Belmont from the beginning," Maria explained. "Each one of those Belmonts defeated Dracula every time he has returned."
"How is Dracula coming back even though he's been eliminated before?" Julie-Su asked.
"They used the blood of young maidens to do so. Count Dracula along this castle, known as Castlevania, raises at least once every century. But there are exceptions to that rule," Maria said.
"What kind of exceptions?" Pit asked.
"This castle has risen the same as it has five years ago. It was because of a dark priest named Shaft. I was twelve-years-old when I, my older sister Annette, and two other maidens, the daughter of the village's doctor, Iris, and a nun named Tera. Richter rescued me and them. I insisted on helping out on the rescue, but Richter was against it because I was only a child. Richter went on ahead after we saved my sister, to deal with Dracula by himself," Maria explained.
(Flashback, five years ago)
Richter Belmont, is a young man, wearing a blue jacket, with a white shirt under it. He also wore light gray pants, black boots, and has a dagger on his left side and a whip on his right. He climbed up the stairs and right into Dracula's throne room, where he found Count Dracula, sitting on his throne and drinking a wine glass of blood. He has a black beard and mustache.
"Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!" Richter said.
"It was not by my hands I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans, who wish to pay me tribute," Dracula said.
"Tribute?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves!" Richter argued.
"Perhaps the same can be said of all religions," Dracula said.
"Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!" Richter yelled.
"What is a man?" Dracula asked, throwing his wine glass in the floor. "A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!" Dracula declared as he vanished. Maria narrates the battle.
"Richter fought valiantly against the Prince of Darkness. Like Trevor and Simon before him, Richter defeated him," Maria narrated. Dracula is one his knees.
"One again, the blood of Belmont has defeated me. Perhaps this too, is part of my fate," Dracula said.
"Death to you! This world is not yours to exist in!" Richter declared. Dracula only gave a small grin.
"It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is the greed of humanity which calls me back. And thus, by might, I rule. Might becomes the one and only justice in this world!" Dracula stated.
"Of all the self-serving claptrap! The same basic faith drives all people to seek, to come together, to move forward. That surely can't be an evil thing!" Richter sad.
"And yet, here I am. Do you not have any desires?" Dracula asked.
"Well," Richter paused.
"It is by your desires that you humans prosper. And it is your faith which has ruled you. Considering that, can you really call me evil?" Dracula asked.
"But people cannot be ruled by power alone! The sacred, the honorable, the loved... Those things can rule humanity. Something evil will eventually fall to ruin!" Richter said.
"I see," Dracula said. "Perhaps you're right." Dracula laughs. "We shall meet again, blood of Belmont!" Dracula laughs as he is turned into dust. The castle begins to crumble as Richter has gotten out. The young vampire hunter knew the world hasn't seen the last of the vampire lord and he knew someone like him will come along and put him back to death again.
(Present day)
"Four years later, Richter has vanished without a trace. My sister has worried about him endlessly, so I have set out to search for him. It has taken me a year to find him," Maria said.
"If this is the same castle, then who do you think rebuild it again?" Sky asked.
"I don't know. I suspect someone here my be attempting to resurrect Dracula once again; even if it hasn't been over a century yet," Maria said.
"Whoever is doing this is sure going through the trouble just to bring back Dracula," Cuphead said.
"Wait a minute! I just had a thought! What if it was the Brotherhood of Darkness up to their old tricks again?" Mugman asked.
"You mean, they could be trying to bring Dracula back to life?" Charmy asked.
"I don't want that!" Pit said.
"None of us wants that. We'll just have to find out what they're up to and put a stop to it before they go too far!" Sora said.
"Pi, Pikachu!" Pikachu said.
"I admire your bravery, but this could be too big for you," Maria said.
"We took down a criminal organization in my world and we can stop those villains and save the multiverse," Sora said.
"He's right. We came too far to give up now," Pit said.
"And we're not going to start now," Knuckles said. They all hear a something right towards them. They listened as the footsteps were getting closer. It was a horde of demons. One demon has a lizard's body and a long bird beak and is holding a spear. Another is a purple demon with wings on his arms and whie horns.
"No futher," Maria said. The demons launched their attacks as Shantae uses her genie fire on them and Rottytops smacks them with her leg. Bolo swings his mace and Sky uses her fighting skills on them. Sora and Kairi each took out a Pokéball and threw it.
"Go! Gliscor!" Sora called out.
"Go right in, Mismagius!" Kairi called out.
Both Gliscor and Mismagius both emerge from their Pokéballs to fight the demons. Maria was amazed by the sight of the Pokémon.
"Gliscor! Use Night Slash!" Sora ordered.
"Mismagius! Use Mystical Fire!" Kairi ordered.
Gliscor swings his claw at the demons as Mismagius uses her fire attack to burn them.
"Impressive!" Maria said.
"Kazooie! Egg grenade!" Banjo said.
"Gotcha!" Kazooie said, letting out an egg-shaped grenade. "Scramble!"
Cuphead and Mugman fired blue energy bullets at the demons as Knuckles socked them.
"Come on! Whose turn is it now?" Knuckles asked. Julie-Su draws her weapon and shoots at the demons as Ray takes flight and Mighty rolls into a ball and plows right through them. Espio uses his ninja skills on them as Charmy stings them. Vector joins the echidna in the brawl. The demons had been defeated and they press on.
Just entering the castle, a young man that is physically in his late teens with long white blond wore wears 18th century style clothing. He wore a black colored jacket consisting of side seams held together by four square brooches that run down vertically and a belt. Around his neck he wore a large white cravat. Over the jacket he wore a long overcoat with a decorative pattern. Over his other garments he also wore a cape that is red on the inside and black on the outside. A warg is growling at him as he draws his sword. He slashes the large wolf, causing it to howl as it perishes. He goes deeper in the entry as he is greeted by the Grim Reaper, but we'll refer to him as Death, since he's called that anyway.
"Ah, Alucard. What is your business here?" Death asked.
"I've come to put an end to this," Alucard replied.
"Still befriending mortals. I'll not ask you to return to our side. But I demand you cease your attack," Death said.
"I will not," Alucard said.
"You shall regret those words... We will meet again," Death said before he vanished.
"You are right about one thing, Death, we will meet again," Alucard said.
Over to Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, and Maria, they continued on in the castle, looking around for anything coming at them.
"Keep your eyes peeled, guys. They could come out at any moment," Sora said.
"Right," Julie-Su said.
They all kept their wits and looked around for something out of the ordinary. As they pressed on, they are met with small flea-like dwarves and Rottytops bats them away.
"Get out of here!" Rottytops said.
"What ugly little things," Shantae said.
"No joke," Sky agreed.
Elsewhere in the castle, Tawna comes out of a dimensional rift as she looked around.
"N. Tropy's gotta be here somewhere," Tawna said. She looks around the castle.
Back to the group, they kept their eyes open for anymore surprise attacks when they all made a stop in a room with a huge clock.
"Think we can take a break. I'm starting to think my feet are gonna fall off," Cuphead said.
"We can't stay in one place too long because Dracula's creatures could be after us again," Maria said.
"They'll be after us even if we do move, but who's complaining?" Meowth asked.
"Not to mention Ganondorf and the others," Bolo said.
"I'm ready for anything coming at us," Pit said. Footsteps are suddenly heard.
Alucard comes into the room as he sees the group with her.
"Wait a moment. You seem human. What do you here?" Maria asked.
"I have come to destroy this castle," Alucard replied.
"Destroy this castle?" Espio asked.
"Then we're alike. I am Maria Renard. Who are you?" Maria asked.
Alucard paused before he answered, "Alucard."
"He doesn't look very talkative," Sky whispered to Julie-Su.
"Think we should trust him?" Mighty asked.
"Doubt it," Knuckles said.
"Just what do you want here? Surely you did not come just to talk," Alucard pointed out.
"No, I did not. Do you know of the Belmonts?" Maria asked.
"Yes I do. Why do you ask?" Alucard asked.
"He vanished a year ago, and I suspect he's somewhere in the castle. Tell me if you see him," Maria said.
"Of course. You shall be the first to know," Alucard said. He left the group to press on.
As Alucard presses on his memories kicks back to when he fought alongside Trevor Belmont along with two other people, Sypha Belnades and Grant Danasty. The foursome worked together to put a stop to Dracula and defeated him until his next ressurection. Alucard fought his way through the castle as did the group. Tawna managed to make it through the castle when she came across another dimensional rift and entered through.
Back to Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, and Maria, they ventured right through another hall. Maria was having trouble wrapping her mind around the situation.
"Strange," Maria said.
"What's strange?" Kairi asked.
"This castle seems rather different than I remember," Maria said.
"How different, Maria?" Julie-Su asked.
"Well, there are rooms and halls that I am not familiar with. How could this be possible?" Maria asked. Sora, Kairi, and the others didn't know how to answer that when Alucard came up.
"This castle is a creature of pure chaos," Alucard said. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, and Maria all turned to see him. "It may take on many forms."
"Take many forms?" Shantae asked.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying this castle is alive?" Sora asked.
"In some ways, yes," Alucard said.
"So I can't trust my memories," Maria said.
"The worlds we go into just get weirder and weirder," Meowth said.
"So, Alucard, right? How about you tag along with us for a while? We could use someone with your skill," Vector suggested.
"I agree," Espio said.
"Very well. Come," Alucard said, accompanying the group. A series of introductions went to Alucard as they explained that they're from different worlds. "I thought I sensed something off about you. And you suspect that the castle is being used by this Brotherhood of Darkness?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out," Shantae said.
"And we're here to put a stop to them," Knuckles said.
"That's why we're working together to saving our worlds," Mighty said.
"I understand. We must press on," Alucard said. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, Alucard, and Maria fought their way through the castle, getting pass the hordes of demons, getting in their way. They make their way into a room that looks like an arena. They all heard a laugh, making them look around.
"Who's there?" Knuckles asked.
The figure is revealed to be Richter Belmont, sitting in a chair.
"Who are you?!" Alucard exclaimed.
"Richter?!" Maria gasped.
"Open Hell's gate! Come forth, my servants!" Richter commanded. A snort is heard followed by the sound of giant footprints. It is revealed that it belonged to a minotaur. A howl is heard as something came jumping out. It is revealed to be a werewolf.
"The scent of your blood! You're a Belmont!" Alucard said.
"Richter Belmont?!" Sora and Kairi gasped.
"Crush these fleas who invade my castle!" Richter ordered as he laughs.
"Maria, protect those children," Alucard said.
"Of course," Maria said, calling her dragon friend as they take the couple up. The minotaur and werewolf attacked Alucard, but he uses his speed and endurance to avoid them. He takes his sword and stabs the minotaur in the heart. The werewolf was about to swipe at him, but he does the same to the werewolf, but he did it from behind. Once the werewolf and minotaur were dead, Alucard knew something was wrong. The dragon brought the couple back down.
"I was certain a Belmont. And he claims he is the lord of this castle," Alucard said.
"I don't want to believe it, but I'm afraid you are right, Alucard. But something must have happened to him," Maria said.
"Just what?" Cuphead said.
"Remember when you asked what's the worse that could happen? Well you really have to look around and see for yourself," Mugman said.
"Hey, how was I supposed to know it was crawling with monsters?" Cuphead asked.
"It doesn't matter right now, because we gotta think of something now," Knuckles said.
"Knuckles is right. Maria will think of something," Julie-Su said.
"So, what's the idea?" Banjo asked.
"Whatever we do, we cannot hurt Richter," Maria said.
"Easy for you to say, I'm more worried about him hurting us," Kazooie said.
"The bird is right to be worried. It will be difficult to do so without killing him," Alucard said.
"Shantae, you're a half-genie, is there some magic we can use to undo the spell that's using him?" Meowth asked.
"That'll be wishful thinking, and I'm not that kind of genie," Shantae said.
"In other words, she doesn't know a spell in that department," Rottytops said.
"That's not very helpful," Cuphead said.
"I believe we can use these," Maria said, taking out a pair of glasses. "Annette gave me a pair of these before I set off. She said they have the power to see through illusions."
"But why would we need these?" Sora asked.
"Just when we came across Richter, I could sense a presence right beside him. None of us could see him, but I know he was there," Maria said.
"So, he had an invisible shadow," Sora siad.
"Why would Ganondorf go through the trouble of controlling Belmont?" Bolo asked.
"Would he?" A new voice questioned. The group turned to see a striking young woman with pale skin and long dark hair. She is of a slender build with a graceful figure and stoic demeanor. She wears a long flowing dress of midnight blue with reversable crimson orange on the opposite side. The dress is cinched around the neck with elegant white lace, and cut long at the base, all the way up to the thigh to prevent any movement restrictions that may have otherwise occured. Adorning her arms and wrists are lengths of the same fabric cut from the dress, which are individual seperate pieces. Over the top of her upper body is a worn piece of metalic plate that encloses the front of her torso. It flows down her sides in layered pieces. Upon her feet she wears long greeves that stretch all the way up to just below her thighs which is made of the same material as the breastplate.
"Who are you?" Alucard asked.
"I am Shanoa, a member of the Order of Ecclesia. I was sent here to prevent Dracula's ressurection," Shanoa said.
"The order of Ecclesia? The organization dedicated in destroying Dracula like the Belmonts?" Alucard asked.
"Yes. I was on the trail of Richter Belmont, same as you. It's no surprise to see the son of Dracula on the same mission," Shanoa said. The group all looked at Alucard, shocked to learn the truth.
"What?! Count Dracula is your dad?!" Sora exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed. Dracula is my father and my mother is a human woman who was wrongfully accused of witchcraft," Alucard said. "She was a doctor. When she was captured, she was trailed as a witch and burned to the stake. When my father learned this, became enraged and he vowed to eliminate the human race for what they have done. I, honoring my mother, vowed to stop him by any means necessary."
"If your mom was human, does that mean, you're only half-human and half-vampire?" Kairi asked.
"Eevee?" Angel asked.
"Yes. I am known as a dhampir, a result of a male vampire and a female human," Alucard said.
"And you won't drink our blood, will you?" Sky asked.
"None of you have nothing to worry about because I promised my mother I will never slay any human, no matter if they are good or evil. Now come, we must go and stop Belmont," Alucard said.
"Right," the rest of the group said. Shanoa joins the group. The group explained to Shanoa about them being from different worlds and about the Brotherhood of Darkness. She was amazed and impressed by how they have accomplished.
"Extraordinary. You are certainly interesting people, and animals," Shanoa said. She looked over to Cuphead and Mugman. "And you seem interesting as well."
"So, any idea where Richter is hiding out?" Mugman asked.
"It's very likely he might be in the throne room. Every castle should have a castle just like that," Vector deduced.
"I believe the talking crocodile is right. Belmont is most likely there. And he will be expecting us," Alucard said.
All that was left to do is to plan the attack carefully. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, Alucard, Maria, and Shanoa continued on their way to the throne room to rescue Richter from whoever and whatever was controlling him.
In the throne room, Richter was close in reviving Count Dracula. Unknown to him, a dark figure dressed in a priests clothing hovers above him.
"Yes. Dracula's resurrection us closer than ever thanks to you, my puppet. No one will stop him once he comes back to flesh once more. Once you have served your purpose, then there will be no further use for you," the dark priest said.
It was clear now Ricther was being controlled. Dracula's resurrection was getting closer and closer. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, Alucard, Maria, and Shanoa were getting closer to the throne room, located in the highest tower. Along the way, they fought the hordes of demons in their way.
"There it is," Shanoa said.
"That's where we'll find Richter?" Rottytops asked.
"Yes. Belmont is waiting for us as we speak," Alucard said. The group all went up the stairs to the castle's highest tower. Upon arriving the doors of the throne room were opened and they all went inside. The young vampire hunter grinned evily.
"I knew you would survive that battle," Richter said.
"Richter! You must come to your senses!" Maria pleaded.
"I am already in my senses, Maria," Richter said.
"And how are you in your right mind? You said that you're the lord of this castle! Just what are you planning to do?!" Sora asked.
"Quite simple. I am going to revive Dracula," Richter replied.
"Revive Dracula?!" Sora, Kairi, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Team Choatix, Mighty, Ray, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, and Kazooie exclaimed.
"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed.
"Eevee!" Angel added.
"No!" Maria cried.
"You cannot be serious!" Shanoa said.
"Why would a Belmont want to resurrect Count Dracula?" Alucard asked.
"Count Dracula raises but once every century, and my role is over! Once that is done, they are then forgotten! But if I can revive him over and over again, then the battle will continue for all eternity!" Richter said.
"For all eternity?!" Shanoa exclaimed.
"Don't you even hear your own words?" Pit asked.
"I do. And I am too close to stop now," Richter said. "Dracula's resurrection is nearly complete." Maria was saddened by what he was saying.
"You are not Richter! The Richter I know would never wish for Dracula's ressurection!" Maria said.
"The Richter Belmont you know us gone!" Richter said.
"I don't believe that! I don't know the real Richter, but I know he's still in there!" Sora said. "You can hear me, then snap out of it!"
"I don't know what you are going on about. But you are an annoyance that needs to be dealt with!" Richter said. Alucard placed on the special glasses and saw what looks like a green orb floating around. No one else could see it.
"So, that's it," Alucard said. Richter prepared to fight and assault Sora when Knuckles gave the vampire hunter a punch in the gut.
"You keep your hands to yourself!" Knuckles yelled.
"Knuckles, Maria said no to hurt him, remember?" Pit reminded him.
"Sorry, but someone had to protect Sora!" Knuckles said.
"You did what you had to, Knuckles! Don't worry about it," Sora said. Pit fired his arrows of light as Richter used his whip to block the arrow. Espio threw his shurikens as Richter twirls his whip to knock them down. Sora and Kairi were about to fight when Kubfu came out of its own. "Kubfu? What are you doing?"
"Kub," Kubfu said. Richter brought his whip down as Kubfu grabbed it and pulled it away. "Kubfu, Kub!"
"What's Kubfu saying, Meowth?" Bolo asked.
"Fight on," Meowth translated. Alucard drew his sword and jumped above Richter. He swiped the air and the orb became visible when it was shattered. The dark priest is revealed from the orb.
"So, you have found me," the dark priest said.
"Who are you?" Alucard asked.
"I am the dark priest Shaft. It was I who was in control of Belmont. It was I who brought him here," Shaft said.
"You manipulated Richter into your own evil whims! Unforgivable!" Maria exclaimed.
"Why did you do that to him?" Sora asked.
"For centuries, vampire hunters defeated evil using holy powers. But if two vampire hunters were to fight each other," Shaft said. That struck a cord with the dhampir.
"The Belmont Clan is supreme among vampire hunters! No other hunters can defeat them! So, the Belmonts would easily wipe them all out! And you knew this!" Alucard said. The dark priest cackled.
"Exactly. That is why I removed him as a threat by making him lord of this castle. I haven't counted on the arrival of the son of the master, nor others," Shaft said, gesturing to Sora and the others.
"You must be disappointed to know that your scheme has failed," Alucard said.
"No. Dracula's resurrection is nearly complete. And now, for the final sacrifice! I call upon the forces of darkness! Lend me your evil power! Allow them to be used as a tribute to call upon the true Master of Castlevania! Evil incarnate! The Prince of Darkness! Count Vlad Tepes Dracula!" Shaft channeled all the dark energy into Shaft and he screams as he uses his essence to channel a coffin. It comes from under the floor and stands for them. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, Alucard, Maria, and Shanoa all watched as the coffin opens to reveal Dracula himself.
"Uh-oh," Sora said.
"Father," Alucard said. Dracula grinned seeing his son again.
"My son. It has been a long time," Dracula said.
"I was hoping I would not see you again. I cannot allow you to come any further, father," Alucard said. Dracula looked around to see mortals in his presence.
"I can see you are still an alley of humans! Have you forgotten what they have done to your mother?" Dracula asked.
"Think you I would forget such a thing? No! Neither do I seek revenge against them!" Alucard stated.
"You disgrace your mother by siding with her murderers! You betrayed your kind! And you have betrayed me!" Dracula yelled.
"Wrong! He didn't betray you! You betrayed him!" Sora said. The lord of the vampires glared right him. "I'm sorry about what happened to your wife, but nothing you do is going to change what happened! She wouldn't want this!"
"You understand nothing! The humans took my wife from me! And for that they all must die!" Dracula said.
"You don't have the right to decide who should live or die No one has that right!" Sora said.
"Listen to him! He knows what he's talking about," Pit said.
"Enough of this! I will put an end to the human race once and for all!" Dracula declared.
"Dracula! In the name of my mother, I will defeat you again!" Alucard declared. He drew out his sword once again.
"Alucard!" Sora called out.
"Sora! Take Belmont and leave the castle!" Alucard said.
"He can handle this himself, Sora. We must go, now!" Maria said.
"She's right. Let's go," Shanoa said. Knowing there was no other choice he agreed. He took out Gliscor's Pokéball and lets Gliscor out.
"Gliscor, carry Richter out of here," Sora said.
"Gliscor," Gliscor nodded and flew with the vampire hunter out. The rest of the group followed on out.
"So, it's just you and me, isn't it, Adrian?" Dracula asked his son.
"The way it is supposed to be, father. I will stop you here and now," Alucard said.
The group all made it outside the castle as they laid Richter on the ground.
"What have I done? I could see what I was doing, but I couldn't stop myself," Richter said.
"Don't blame yourself, Richter. You just weren't yourself, that's all," Sora said.
"He is right, Richter. No one will fault you for being a puppet," Maria said.
"But it is my fault. I allowed Shaft to control me and bring Dracula back. And now he has succeeded," Richter said.
"Alucard will stop him," Kairi assured the vampire hunter. He looked right at her.
"Did you say Alucard?! The same Alucard who fought alongside Trevor Belmont, my ancestor?! That was over three hundred years ago!" Richter exclaimed.
"Three hundred years?! Who would have thought he would still look so good after that?" Shantae asked.
"You do realize genies can live for many, many centuries right?" Sky reminded her.
"Right," Shantae said.
"Anyway, we met Alucard when we got here, along with Maria and Shanoa," Sora said. Richter looked right at Sora.
"You reached out to me. I heard your voice and I couldn't break free. I thank you greatly," Richter said.
"It's the least I can do. Now, the only thing we can do is wait for Alucard to come back," Julie-Su said.
Alucard fought hard against his father. The vampire and dhampir clashed their powers, causing the walls to shake. Then, Death descended from the ceiling and swiped his scythe at Alucard, but blocked with his sword.
"Afraid to fight me yourself, father?" Alucard asked.
"I fear nothing!" Dracula declared as he rushed his son and gave him a punch in the face. Alucard fell backwards, but regained his balance.
"Die you worthless half-breed!" Death said, swinging his syche. Alucard uses his vampiric powers and cuts Death in half and he fades away.
"Now, it's you and me, father!" Alucard said.
"As it should have been, my son. I shall finish you once and for all!" Dracula said. He gave Alucard a series of beatings and gave one last punch sending on the floor. Dracula moves in to make the finishing move when Alucard gave his father the stab with his sword, right in the heart.
"Trouble the soul of my mother no more!" Alucard declared.
"Adrian! How?!" Dracula yelled.
"You have been doomed since you lost the ability to love," Alucard said.
"It would seem that my time in this world has once again come to an end. At least I got to see you again," Dracula said. Alucard didn't say anything as he watched his father dying on the floor. "Tell me..." He gasped, "what... what were Lisa's last words to you?"
Alucard paused before he replied, "She said 'Do not hate humans. For theirs is already a is already a troubled lot.' She also said to tell you that she will always love you for eternity." Dracula's memories of his wife flashes before him. His wife is a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a red dress. With her is a little boy, their son Adrian, nicknamed Alucard.
"Lisa," Dracula paused, "forgive me." He looked at Alucard for one last time. "Farewell, my son." Dracula dies and vanishes once again. The castle begins to crumble. The group outside sees the castle going down.
"Alucard!" The group shouted.
"Pika!" Pikachu cried. A bat comes flying out of the tower as the castle comes crumbling down. The bat transforms and Alucard lands on his feet.
"You made it!" Sora said.
"Yes. Dracula is once again dead," Alucard stated.
"We didn't find any clues about the Brotherhood of Darkness, but at least they won't be using this place anytime soon," Meowth said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu agreed.
"Alucard, forgive me. It was my fault you had to fight your own father," Richter apologized.
"There is nothing to forgive. I had my own reasons to destroy him," Alucard stated. "But you must always remember the only necessary thing for evil to truly triumph is for good men to do nothing."
"I understand," Richter said.
"That is very true," Shanoa agreed.
"We should all head on back and let everyone know the clue we're looking for is not here," Banjo said.
"You're right, Banjo. We'll try somewhere else," Sora said.
"Just how do you plan to get back to your own world, Sora?" Maria asked.
"The same way we got here in the first place," Sora said. A dimensional rift opens, surprising the four warriors.
"Incredible!" Ricther said amazed.
"We should get going," Sora said.
"Wait, allow us to come along. If this Brotherhood of Darkness is a threat as you say, then you can use our support," Richter said.
"I agree," Alucard added.
"Okay, let's head on back," Sora said.
Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Pit, Knuckles, Team Chaotix, Mighty, Ray, Julie-Su, Shantae, Bolo, Sky, Rottytops, Cuphead, Mugman, Banjo, Kazooie, Alucard, Maria, and Shanoa all entered the dimensional rift and told the other inter dimensional visitors the Brotherhood of Darkness were not there and there was no evidence of their presence was present.
Where could the Brotherhood of Darkness be hiding at? More to come soon enough.
