At the entrance of Castlevania..
"So, we have finally reached Dracula's castle." Maria said seriously.
"Yes. Maria, you can leave now if you wanted to." Vincent replied.
"No thanks. I'm here till the end."
"Alright. There's no turning back now. Let's go."
Maria nodded and they both ran into Castlevania, unaware of a shaded figure silently observing them before entering Castlevania with them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I sense someone trailing us." Vincent said ominously.
"One of Dracula's spies?" Maria looked worried.
"No, its aura seems different."
"Maybe its here to help us kill Dracula." Maria said happily.
"Maybe…but not likely. It's probably hostile. Be on your guard." Vincent warned.
"Alright." Maria nodded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The shaded figure looked at the slayers with great interest. Vincent Ragnarok was the more dangerous one. Maria wasn't dangerous at all. They seemed a good combination. Would they be able to defeat Dracula? The shaded figure was deep in thought when suddenly, Vincent shouted, "Get down here and tell us what do you want!"
The shaded figure leaped down gracefully and said, " My name is Javier Tepes, son of Alucard. You know him, Ragnarok."
"Yes, Master Belmont told me about him. The son of Dracula, Adrian Tepes. A sworn enemy of Dracula ."
"You know your history pretty well, Ragnarok. I've come here to challenge you. You don't seem worthy to battle Dracula at all. If you want to pass, defeat me first." Javier smirked.
"Sure, Tepes. One-on- one. No subweapons nor any vampiric spells."
"Alright. Maria, be the judge. Ragnarok and I will fight. Lets go." Javier said before unsheathing his Father's favourite sword, the Alucard Sword.
Ragnarok unsheated his sword and lunged towards Javier.
A climatic fight had just begun.
