"May this sacrifice appease the Devil and bring back Count Dracula! The power of chaos, heed my command!" A female vampire said before plunging a dagger into a virgin woman's heart.
The woman screamed and struggled wildly before passing away.
A lightning bolt struck Count Dracula's coffin. The coffin had vanished, leaving only an old man at its place.
"Hail, Lord Dracula. Rejoice for he has come back to life!" The young female vampire said with glee.
"Thank you, Elisabeth. You shall be duly rewarded. Meanwhile, ready all my demons. A vampire slayer is near." Dracula replied seriously.
"A vampire hunter? The Belmonts were destroyed. How?"
"Ragnarok, Belmont's disciple has come, along with a Belnades. They are extremely dangerous. Do not underestimate them." Dracula said seriously before shouting, "Death! See to it that our guests never reach our secret weapon!"
The unholy specter of Death appeared and bowed its head. "At once, my lord!"

Meanwhile..
"I thought you said that you knew magic." Vincent said disapprovingly after watching Maria's failed attempts at casting a fire spell. "Maybe you should go back. You would be of no use to me at Dracula's castle."
Maria snapped, "I'm never going back, and please have some patience. How did Simon Belmont ever teach you, I wonder? And you call yourself a vampire hunter? You would probably die as fast as you see a zombie."
Ragnarok said nothing and continued walking towards Dracula's castle.
"What? Cat got your tongue? I bet I hit the nail on the head." Maria smirked.
Ragnarok was furious. "Please show some respect to your elders, Belnades. You are worthless on my journey and yet you insult me? You are probably the most uncivilized lady I've ever met."
Maria opened her mouth to object when suddenly, Death appeared in front of them.
"Good evening, Vampire Slayers. My lord is expecting you. Are you all ready to die?" Death said sarcastically.
"I think you would probably die first, old man." Maria shot back.
"I'm old? Maybe feeling my wrath shall teach you some manners, Belnades." Death said furiously before swinging its scythe at Maria.
Vincent immediately took out his sword and lunged towards Death while Maria just ran to a safe corner and tried casting a spell.
"Fire! Fire! It's not working!" Maria shouted.
Vincent barely dodged a swing form Death and said, "Run. I'll take care of this!"
Death smirked and summoned thousands of sickles at Vincent. Vincent leaped high up in the sky and dodged all the sickles.
"Not bad, Ragnarok. Now feel my true power!" Death summoned four giant skulls at Vincent.
Vincent dodged three of the giant skulls but the fourth giant skull tore some of Vincent's flesh.
"Ugh.." Vincent said, wounded.
Death cackled maniacally and raised its scythe up high, preparing to behead Vincent.
Suddenly, three fireballs came rushing at Death. Death's scythe was shattered by the force of the fireballs .
Vincent turned and saw the caster of the fireballs. It was actually Maria!
Maria shouted, "Have a taste of my newfound power! Fire!"
Death dodged the fireballs swiftly and shouted, "This isn't the end. We will meet again!" before disappearing.
Maria then ran towards Vincent. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah." Vincent said while bandaging himself.
"See how powerful I am now!" Maria said happily.
"Don't underestimate Dracula. He is more powerful than Death."
"Alright. Let's go!" Maria said happily. "Come on!"
