With Van Helsing…
"You know, Van Helsing the Count has a very bad reputation" "Why professor?" Shadow asked. "It's very simple, listen carefully… The Sonic Dragul is the last descendant of a long ancestry of vampires, with a bloody past… in fact since of Middle Ages, this family was one of the most dangerous in history…" "You forgot to add a small detail Grandfather! Thanks to this reputation this country has no invasions or wars… thanks to the Count!" a male red edcidna said.
"Knuckles!" "Tikal?! What happened?" "You and Van Helsing must come with me!" "It's about the Count, right?" "Yeah, near the castle I've seen a strong explosion! We have to go!" "What the hell are we waiting for? GO!"
Back with Sonic we see an explosion, and come closer to see Sonic sliding backwards on his feet
"I thought I made you to pieces! First you've wiped my family, and destroyed my life! And NOW… you would destroy what remains for me? My only Love?" Sonic said battling a robot. "Well… I will not let you do it! Never!" Sonic uses his full power only to see that he did right after. "Again… I've lost control AGAIN!" Sonic falls on to his knees then hears a click behind his head only to see Shadow holding a gun to his head through the corner of his eye.
"You must be… Van Helsing" Sonic said. "Yes but I'm not here for you…" Shadow said. "Oh… So why are you here?" Sonic said closing his eyes. "You know why Count!" Shadow said "I'm here for Amy, to bring her back to her uncle. Tell me where is she… wha…" Sonic quickly turns around grabs Shadow's wrist. "That's why sometimes I hate you mortals!" "Urgh" Shadow said in pain from how strong Sonic was. "You don't think before acting! And I bet… You don't ever wondered what was the opinion of Amy! Yeah I see… listen Amy is a wonderful girl… smart, sweet, with a great heart but her uncle always gave her less value of his money. She will decide whether to return or not!" Sonic said as he lets go of Shadow's wrist. "H-Hey wait!" Shadow said holding his wrist, Sonic's horse came running by and Sonic grabs on to the rains "Don't worry Van Helsing, we'll meet again!"
"Urgh! He is strong… really strong…he has almost destroyed my wrist" Shadow said still holding his wrist. "Shadow!" "Whata"*MMPH* The white bat then kissed him which surprised Shadow. "Your safe my sweet heart…" the white bat said
"Don't worry Rouge, I'm okay" "Hey Shadow!" Knuckles shouted while running "Have you seen the Count?" "Yes… but I'm beginning to believe the rumors about the Count are not entirely true…" "Really?! Van Helsing it's true, then… The Count looks like a demon?" Knuckles' grandfather asked. "You don't look to him, sometimes he acts like an idiot…" Knuckles said "Maybe it's old age…" Rouge said
Back at the castle
Amy is looking out the window "Oh, don't worry about the Count, my dear, in this moment he's returning to the castle…" someone said frightening Amy. "Wha… Who said that?" "I have spoken… I am Madame Vanilla and this is my daughter Cream. You must Amy, the one and only love of Count Sonic" A female rabbit said sitting I the far dark corner with her daughter sewing something "Y-you know me? How…" Amy asked
"Yes, my dear… The Count does nothing but talk about you, He's madly in love with you Amy! But… the Count probably has still secrets with you, Secrets that he's afraid to reveal, for fear of losing you, my dear… maybe my lord wouldn't want this, but… I think it's right for you to know this secret… maybe you know about the legend of the Count Dragul, the blood thirsty… your love is that Count," Vanilla said standing up "WHAT!" Amy gasped covering her mouth.
"I-I can't believe… my… love… my Sonic… is the terrible Count Dragul… IT'S NOT TRUE!" Amy said turning away. "Amy the Count is in the courtyard" Vanilla said but Amy stayed silent
In the courtyard
"Thanks Zamfir… I… I'm so weak…" Sonic said as he dropped his sword and fell to his knees only to see Amy's feet then to see a sword pointed at his neck which was being held by Amy who had tears in her eyes. "Amy" Sonic said. "You, the sweet and gentle Sonic that… I love… are also the monster that I've always hated! The blood thirsty Count Dragul" Sonic looks down at his hands "*sniff* So I-I don't know… if I should kill you… *sniff* or forgive you" Amy started to cry full out.
"Kill me, Amy you're right, in all my life…" Sonic cries blood tears "I've acted like a monster… even if I did it to protect my land… I'm so sorry Amy… I love you… more than my own life… if you suffered for my sake, you've every reason to hate me, then, go ahead and kill me, I deserve this…" Suddenly the sun shines causing Sonic to scream in pain.
"No Sonic! Vanilla, open the door!" Amy shouts "A-Amy… wha…" Sonic said weakly. "Please forgive me Sonic. I love you, my sweet love" Amy said carrying Sonic in.
"Mmmh… Maybe it's true… the love can do everything!" Vanilla said while holding up a tarot card that said "The Lovers".
In the Count's room…
"Amy… you'll ever forgive me for my past?" Sonic asked laying in the bed with Amy sitting next him in a chair.
"I've already do this Sonic because you've repented, now rest, my love…" Amy said then kissed his forehead. Sonic catches Amy with a surprise kiss on her lips, causing her to blush.
"Ehm… My lord" "Maria?!" Maria comes through the bed scaring Sonic. "Will you stop doing that?!" "You're so cute when you're scared… however, the doctor is here, and Amy, Vanilla wants to talk to you…" Maria said
"Hello everybody!" a fox with two tails who is in a doctor mask. "Good morning Tails" "What the Hell happened to you, Sonic!? Your body is full of burns!" Tails said when he got to the bed.
"Uhm, Count, maybe is better if I accompanied Amy to Vanilla's room." Maria said. "Yeah, maybe it's better, don't worry Amy, we'll see each other later…" Sonic said with a sweat drop.
"Please, follow me…" Maria said "follow me… follow me…" Maria sang "laaa-la-la-la laaa-laa-laaa" she continues to sing. "Maria… you've a beautiful voice" Amy compliments her voice. "Oh Amy… Thank you… no one had ever given me this compliment…" Maria said back, soon they reach Vanilla's room. "Oh well! You two are starting to become friends! I must thank you, Amy, you forgave the Count, despite his past you see, my dear… The Count Sonic Vladut grew up in a family known for their wickedness, blood lust and power… unlike the other vampires of this family, Sonic has a sweet nature, gentle… but his father wanted him to ruthless, cruel and bloodthirsty like him… But one night… a ferocious vampire hunter wiped out the entire family of Sonic's… terrified, the young Sonic reached my room… but the vampire hunter was fast… Sonic was trapped! I knew he was afraid… but I didn't expect his reaction! He shown a power greater than that of his parents! This was the birth the legend of the bloodthirsty Count. Throughout his life, the Count learned to be even more cruel and ruthless than his father, a real devil… but actually, Sonic lived a living hell… until you had entered his life, Amy" Vanilla tells the story on how Sonic became the cruel Count Dragul. Maria was eating ghost popcorn.
"Vanilla? Madame Vanilla?" "Now what…" "Me and my brothers have seen intruders in the foyer!" "Intruders?! I hope you're joking!" "We would like, but this time no!"
"Oh no! If they found the Count it would be the end!" "Maria, you're a Genius! Follow me!" "T-thanks but what do you have in mind?" Amy and Maria leave Vanilla's room.
"Yaaaarg!" Scourge shouts out of fear of a knight. "Ssst! Shut up idiot!" Knuckles tell Scourge. "Look Knuckles if the ghosts find him it would be better!" Shadow said fixing his hat.
"Take these pests… and bring them into the throne room" Vanilla says to the ghosts. "With great pleasure Vanilla!" the ghost said with a grin.
Shadow hears something like a heartbeat beating and it gets louder and faster.
"Rouge…" Shadow said as he stops. "Shadow? What…" then Maria comes into their view. "L-look there…" Maria then turns sharply to them and then… they get caught.
"Great! We yelled, and we yelled like GIRLS!" Shadow shouts in anger. "What about us now…" Rouge asked. "W-we're all g-gonna die…" Scourge said in complete fear. *laughing* "That hedgehog makes me die laughing!" a ghost said. "But you're already dead" the other ghost said then they both laughed. Soon they entered the throne room but the throne is a dragon throne. "It's… so terrifying and so majestic… in all my life I've never seen nothing like this…" Shadow said in aw of it.
