"You… YOU!" Sonic said then punched the man. "SONIC!" Shadow said then ran up to Sonic and held him back.

"You've destroyed my life, Exterminated my family, and almost killed Amy!" Sonic shouts. "Sonic!" Shadow said still holding Sonic back. "I thought my father had impaled you!" Sonic Shouts again. "Calm down Sonic!" Shadow told Sonic. "Let me go Shadow!" Sonic replays. "Oh yeah? And what you going do? Do you want to come down to his level? Not worth it, believe me! Amy is still alive right?" Shadow asked Sonic who was now calming down. "Okay Shadow… now I know what to do…" Sonic said then Shadow releases Sonic. "Get out of my sight, before I change my mind!" Sonic said staring down at the scientist. "Heh poor fool." The scientist said getting away.

"Tragere in Teapa!" Sonic said in roman as he jumped into the air causing a spike to form from the ground to piercing the scientist leaving Shadow in shock. "What the hell… So that's why the people call you 'Tepes'!" Shadow shouts in shock still.

"Ew… Count Dragul how is Amy?" Rouge asked Sonic who was totally indifference by what he just did. "I did bring her to the castle by the headless knight. Come and see me…" Sonic answered in a totally calm voice.

…At the castle the next night…

"Do you think you can walk there a little longer" Rouge asked helping Shadow. "I'm still a little weak but I can…" Shadow said with a sweat drop. "Daddy!" a little female hedgebat said. "Liliy?!" Shadow said hugging her. "Our kids!" Rouge said happily, three more kids come. "Uh-oh" Shadow said then was piled on by two of the three other kids. "Help."

In the castle Sonic was watching Amy sleep then closed the curtains and Sonic was sad about what he had to do to save her. "Forgive me, Amy…" Sonic said as he looked away. "Why? Congratulations instead!" a voice said from behind Sonic that turned out to be the ghost of his father.

"Father… What are you doing here?" Sonic asked angrily and clenched his fist.

"I see you are tight my son… I'm here only to thank you, for having eliminated Dr. Eggman…" Sonic's father said.

"I certainly didn't do it for you! Only for Amy!" Sonic said angrily. "Ah… the girl… excellent choice and tell me Sonic… what's the taste of blood of a Virgin? Delicious right?" Sonic's father asked.

What his father just asked shocked Sonic and also surprised him. "Shut up you monster! I just wanted to save her!" Sonic said starting to sweat.

Sonic then gets slammed into the bed post with his arm behind his back. "Curb your tongue you lil' impudent! You can't ignore, you can't escape! You've longed for her blood, ever since she came here! You and I are not so different after all…" Sonic's father said to Sonic. "Liar!" Sonic shouts.

His father lets him go. "A liar huh? We'll see…" the ghost of Sonic's father said then disappears.

"Sonic…" Amy calls from the bed. "Amy, do you feel better?" Sonic asked. "Yeah… but there was someone who was threatening you?" Amy asked. "No, my angel… nobody" Sonic said then kissed Amy.

In the throne room

"Welcome, foolish mortals… only two of you can see the Count, No Other!" the dragon said. "Very well, Rouge please stay here with Lily and the other two…" Shadow asked. "Uh… okay Shady." Rouge said. "Walter, come with me…" Shadow said to his oldest son. "Yes dad!" His son answered back.

They entered the hallway leading to the Count's bedroom, Maria was waiting for Shadow to come.

"Why me dad? Who owns this castle?" Walter asked. "You're a journalist, and you've always wanted to know the Count Dragul, right? Fine, now you'll know him face to face!" Shadow said to his son. "You're telling me this is Castle Dragul?" Walter asked. "Yup, are you afraid?" Shadow asked. "Who? Me? Shucks!" Walter said putting his arms behind his head.

"Sha…" Maria started but because she came out of nowhere she scared Shadow and his son Walter.

Sonic wondered what it was as Ay drank a glass of medical blood she was given.

"Here's the guests, my lord…" Maria said. "The next time please don't scare us again!" Shadow warned, Walter saw Sonic.

"The… The Count Dragul… in person." Walter said. "Drink the medical blood Amy… He's your son Shadow?" Sonic asked. "Yes Count, my name is Walter!" Walter said. "Walter, allow me to present you… the legendary and terrifying Count Sonic Dragul, that I've defeated." Shadow said as he shakes hands with Sonic. "Defeated?" Sonic said as he crushed Shadow's hand. "OW!" Shadow shouts in pain, "Which one of us was bent down to the ground to spit blood!" Sonic said in a matter of fact tone to Shadow. "You're crushing my hand!" Shadow said in pain.

Amy just puts her hand to her face and has a sweat drop. "Men…" Maria said sitting next to Amy.

"Uhm, Sonic, maybe it's better if Shadow Van Helsing knew about… well…" Amy said "?" Sonic didn't get what Amy ment. "leave me, leave me, leave me" Shadow cried out because Sonic was still crushing his hand. "About what?" Shadow stops to ask. "Wait… the Count told you to drink… blood." Walter asked. "B-blood? Amy don't tell me…" Shadow finally notices. "I… I'm a vampire now." Amy confirms it.

Shadow takes off his jacket shocking Sonic with the sight of the new mechanic arm.

"She's a vampire?! You've bite her! You should know better than me what kind of life you've condemned her soul!" Shadow grabs Sonic shirt with his new right arm.

"Do you think I've never thought that? You saw what Dr. Eggman had done… Amy was going to die Shadow… and I was desperate, I just wanted to save her, cause I love her." Sonic explains to Shadow.

"Yeah, I see… and about that old fool… this morning me, Doc. Tails, and Prof. Edcina went back to the forest to examine his body… we discovered that the old man was an Animatronic!" Shadow said as he lets go of Sonic.

"Animatronic?! A Robot?! So that's why he was still alive!" Sonic said in shock. "My lord? A crazy old hedgehog is introduced at the castle, the other ghosts tired to stop him but…" Vanilla said.

"Out of my way! All of you!" a voice shouts. "Whatta?" Sonic said. "Stop him!" "Argh!"

Sonic and Shadow both had sweat drops.

"Hey! What's happening here!" Sonic asked. "Really you thought to stop me with some ghost, Count!" Amy's uncle said angrily. "Come back here, you crazy old hedgehog!" Knuckles said. "U-uncle…" Amy asked. "Don't waste time! Come with me… you have to marry as soon as possible!" Amy's uncle said.

Sonic was confused. "Hey! HEY! What the hell!"

Soon there was a sword that went by Sonic that ripped his shirt. "Hey!" Sonic shouts then grabbed Scourge. "Opponents that are hitting from behind like cowards…" Sonic says "Wha…" Scourge said. "…They make me angry!" Sonic said as he pulls back his fist then punches Scourge.

"Shads…" Maria puts her hand on Shadow's shoulder. "Come with me… I have to tell you something…"

"One question, Mr. McDuff… You love your niece… more than your money… right?" Sonic asked with his back facing Amy's uncle. " Sure that is so…" Amy's uncle answered.

"Humpf! Really? I don't think so…" Sonic turns to him. "Amy told me all about her life… and the Duke Scourge! Do you really think a coward like him can love, protect and make happy a girl like Amy?" Sonic asked.

Scourge is on his butt holding his nose from the punch that Sonic gave him, "Ohi Ohi"

In the door frame was Walter, Knuckles and Lily. "And Transylvania is a land inhospitable and dangerous! Why did you let your niece travel without protection? With only her horse?! She was lucky that I saw her in my territory, or the beagle boys would have killed her!" Sonic said as he came up to Amy's uncle.

"Uncle… I've chosen Sonic…" Amy said getting up "Whether you like it or not…" "What!" "And now I'm a vampire." Amy finished saying.

"What?! That monster has bitten my bride?" Scourge shouts

"Sonic's not a monster! And I'm not your bride, you big humbug!" Amy yells at Scourge. "Uh… Ok…" Scourge sweats because he was scared.

*Sob, Sniff* "That's… Maria…" Sonic said. *Sniff Sniff*

Maria hugs Shadow

"It's all okay Maria… now I know who killed you… and I'll find him… and he'll pay dearly! I assure you." Shadow tells Maria.
