Back at the castle…

"Why don't he run away?" someone said behind Amy. "Why didn't Maria scare him?" another ghost said. "Uhm, no… I think Shadow is already scared, but… he is trying to keep control…" Amy said with her head on her hand.

Back in the forest…

"Maria… didn't you recognize me?" Shadow asked as he takes off his hat. Maria turns to leave. "No!" Shadow grabs her hand, "Maria please! Don't leave me again!" Shadow said starting to cry. "A-again?" Maria said remembering Shadow. "Shadow… you're… my Shadow…" Maria said crying. "Yes Maria… I'm Sha…" Shadow started to say but Maria then slapped him leaving Sonic shocked with a sweat drop. "What's the big idea?! Why did you do that?" Shadow said holding his check. "Because you, never sent me a letter! 'sniff' Oh Shadie" Maria said then hugged Shadow. "How much you've grown up!" "Maria… who did this to you? I assure you when I'll get that bastard I'll make them pay dearly!" Shadow said hugging Maria back.

"I would… but it is too painful to remember…" "Take all the time you need Maria… and for you Mr. Van Helsing, Prepare to fight!" Sonic said taking off his cape. "Don't think you scare me… I've defeated vampires more dangerous than you!" Shadow said getting in his fighting position. "You'll regret your words, hedgehog!" Sonic said as he did the same.

Sonic came up to Shadow grabbing his throat and slams him into the ground. "Wrong move!" Shadow said then kicks Sonic off him into the air falling to the ground. "Are you kidding me?!"

"Hanf… go ahead come Van Helsing I want your blood!" Sonic said as he licks his lips. "Wha…" Shadow said before Sonic slammed Shadow into the ground. "Hey! Let me go!" Shadow ordered Sonic. Sonic turns Shadow's neck to get ready to bite him. "I will… after I'll have sucked every drop of your precious blood!" Sonic said. "Suck this instead!" Shadow said kicking Sonic in the back of the head then used holy brass knuckles and punched Sonic in the jaw. "Sonic!" Amy said back at the castle. Sonic held his check.

"Really do you think I'm stupid? I know you don't fight seriously!" Shadow said pointing a gun at Sonic. Sonic then used a bit of his powers and hit Shadow with it. This caused Sonic to look upset.

"What do you think Van Helsing? This is my real power! A power I've used to protect my land, with which I've destroyed entire armies… but for you I've used only a minimal part of this power."

"W-what? M-my chest…" Shadow said holding his chest and coughed up blood. "In all my 433 years how many times I've seen this scene…" Sonic said looking at Shadow.

"W… what are you waiting for? C'mon! I'm not afraid…" Shadow said looking up at Sonic and started to cough up more blood.

"Look at yourself, your weak and wounded! You can't fight now, and I'll not make you hurt!" Sonic said holding up Shadow.

Shadow saw something and jumped in front of Sonic. "Stay down AARG!" then as Shadow said this a gun was fired quickly.

"Helsing!" Sonic shouted. "My arm, Damn Bastards My Arm!" Shadow said holding his right arm. "Whoever you are… Prepare to die!" Sonic said summoning his powers.

At the castle…

"Amy, Don't go! It's too dangerous!" Vanilla said trying to stop Amy. "I don't care Vanilla!" Amy screamed from outside. "I'll help you milady!" "Headless Knight!" Amy said as the headless knight picked her up. "Don't worry my sweet maiden I'll take you to your beloved Count!" the headless knight told Amy.

"Oh My God! Please go faster!" Amy said as there was an explosion happened far away.

"Houff… I've destroyed every piece of that damn cyborg." Sonic said as he breaths hard. "Nice job Count Dragul… but probably that monster was just a puppet… so the puppeteer must be near by…" Shadow said as he leans up on a tree holding his right arm.

"This is the Last time you ruin my plans, Count!" said a hooded figure who is holding a gun.

"Thanks a lot headless knight!" Amy said waving bye to the headless knight to see that a hooded figure holding a gun and she turns to see the gun is pointed towards Sonic and Shadow. "Oh no…" Amy gasped

"Pull up pal, we have to get away from here!" Sonic said helping Shadow up. "Urgh!" Shadow said in pain. Then suddenly there was a Bang, and Sonic turns to see Amy get shot and then catches her. "Amy!" Sonic shouts.

"Amy please don't leave me! Open your eyes please…" Sonic said crying blood tears. "Hey" Shadow shouts then shoots the gun out of the figure's hand. "Argh!" the figure said. "You're DEAD!" Shadow said chasing after the figure.

"S-Sonic… you're… save…" Amy said in a shallow voice. "Amy…" Sonic said. "Don't… cry… please…" Amy asked Sonic. "Sonic… I… I…" Amy said while lying there dying in front of Sonic. "Amy? Amy? No! No! Please!" Sonic cried as Amy started to die. "AMY DON'T DIE!" Sonic yells with his fangs growing out then he bites Amy on her neck, thus saving her life but also changing her into a vampire. Soon Sonic removes his fangs from Amy's neck. "S-Soni…" Amy quietly said. "Shhh… you're weak now… you have to rest…" Sonic coos to Amy quietly holding Amy close to him. Sonic is soon overcome with anger.

Shadow shoots three times all of the bullets missing their target. Now Shadow is out of breath. "DAMN! My arm hurts! The pain is slowing me down!" Shadow shouts.

"I- I can't take it anymore! I absolutely have to hit him with this bullet!" Shadow thinks to himself.

"Jump up Shads!" Rouge said as she comes up riding a horse. "Thank you Rouge! Now you have to go near that guy!" Shadow said. "What happened!" Rouge asked. "He had almost killed Amy! And I'll send him to hell!" Shadow said while aiming the gun. Soon there was an explosion in front of the figure. This scared the horse. "What the hell!" Shadow said as he and Rouge fell off the horse and looked up to see Sonic where the explosion came from.

"Why? Why you've shoot her! I swear on the blood of my father… I'll make you suffer the worst tortures of hell!" Sonic said as he grabbed the figure by the neck of his cloak.

"Ho Ho Ho, Haaaha don't make me laugh! You'd not be able!" a man said while laughing.
