A/N: It's 2015 and I'm kicking off the new year with continuing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: Xover Edition. I'm sad to say that Mai-Hime would be replaced by Momo Kyun Sword since that anime interested me. Sorry for the change in crossovers, everyone. Enjoy Chapter 13.
Chapter 13: The Swamp Trio and the Outcast Angel
Hibiki slowly moaned as she rose up and rubbed her head. "I feel like a truck has hit me and I have gone to heaven, or the other place…" She mumbled to herself. She notice Tsubasa cradling her like a mother, Hibiki smiled in embarrassment. "Um, Tsubasa-chan, you can let go of me now. I'm not a kid." Tsubasa nodded in agreement as she let go of Hibiki and the cream haired girl stood up and looked at her surroundings. "Uh… Where are we?"
"We're in Transylvania the home of Count Dracula in another Earth." Tsubasa told her as Hibiki snap her gaze to her friend and idol with a shocked and confused expression with wide eyes.
"C-Count Dracula?! But I thought he was a movie villain and fictional character! This can't be his castle…" The cream haired Symphogear muttered in disbelief.
"Unfortunately, he's real." Reika told her firmly. "You see, Bridget's world which we're on has a long history with Dracula and his mortal enemies, the Belmont clan. I believe Dracula's son would explain it to you." She gestured to Alucard who remained silent and stoic as ever.
He sighed and began relaying the history of his father and the Belmonts and why the Belmonts take it upon themselves to defeat the evil immortal Lord of the Vampires so he won't be able to conquer the entire universe and kill every last human in it.
"I…I didn't know Dracula has a sad and tragic past and why he orchestrated the death of Leon Belmont's fiancée so he can seek revenge on the Holy One for the death of his first wife. And I'm surprise mister Alucard here is Dracula's son and he rebelled against his father." Hibiki gave Alucard a desponded glance as she can feel Alucard's pain of losing his mother. Perhaps she and him are alike. She was hated by people for being the only survivor of the Noise attack on the year she received her Symphogear powers, so she can sympathize with Alucard.
"And the reason we were pulled out of our worlds is because of Bridget. Dracula's minions require her to be sacrificed for the Master Plan which is a plan to open portals to other worlds so they can conquer them. So we got to protect her at all costs." Sango told Hibiki.
"So that's what Death is up to, huh? He's trying to capture a girl needed for his minions' plan to invade our dimensions." Yusuke frowned. "The plot thickens, I guess."
"But the question is… Who is the one who orchestrated the Master Plan?" Hiei asked coldly.
"Dracula?" Kuwabara guessed with a confused expression.
"It can't be… Dracula was killed by the Belmont of this era a few years ago." Reika shook her head no. "Maybe one of his minions that survived an encounter with the Belmont of this era created it?"
"Reika-chan…" Midori glared at her rival. "How much do you know these things? And how do you know Mister Alucard to begin with?"
"Let it go, Midori." Alucard sighed as the party sees Lala groaning and slowly waking up. It took the gang a while to stop Lala from kissing Rito.
She slowly got up and rubbed her forehead to ease the pain. "I feel like an asteroid hit me on the Earth…" She muttered.
"Lala-chan… Are you back to normal?" Rito asked wary to see if Lala won't attack them again.
"Why, of course, Rito-kun. After all, you're my husband to be and next in line for the Deviluke Empire's throne." Lala closed her eyes and smiled cheerfully. She opened them again 5 seconds later and checked her surroundings. "Er… Where are we, Rito-kun?"
"You are in Transylvania, 1797, home of Count Dracula." Alucard told her coldly.
"Wait… Count Dracula?! The Deviluke Empire's sworn enemy?!" Lala covered her mouth in shock. "I heard he committed a first crime that no one dared speak of it ever again. Though, I don't know what happened that cause Dracula to be my father's most hated enemy…"
"Lala…" Momo stepped forward. "Listen to what I have to say and no matter what, you must remain calm." Lala was confused, but nodded in understanding. "The first crime Dracula committed against the Deviluke Empire… was the murder of our mother."
"W-What…?" Lala's eyes widen in shock. "But I thought Father said Mother died of an illness after you and Nana were born!"
"That was a lie to keep you and Nana from seeking revenge on Dracula. I saw it with my own eyes when I was in Mother's room when she was singing a lullaby to put me to sleep. Dracula entered the room and used a sword he has stolen from a Deviluke guard to kill our mother. Some say Dracula did this to throw the Deviluke Empire into despair by killing one of the royal family members of Deviluke."
Lala slumped to her knees, filled with shock. For the first time in her life, Lala knows sadness. Her mother, her beloved mother was killed not by an illness, but an evil vampire. Tears began for form on her eyes as she started crying and covered her face. Rito feels desponded, seeing Lala sadden by the real truth of her mother's death as he went to comfort her by hugging her.
"Now I know Dracula will never be forgiven for the crimes and despair he has committed." Rem has a serious look on her face. "We must find a way to destroy Dracula for good so he won't come back ever again and ending the hundred year's rebirth cycle."
"I agree." Alucard nodded. "My father will never be forgiven for his crimes against God and his children of the universe. And my father will pay for my mother's death. I swear on her grave I will save this world she loved so much."
"Alucard…" Bridget whispered softly as she looked at Alucard with a slight blush.
"Let us hurry to the next area of this Chapel." Tomoe suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement as they entered the next area of the Chapel. Rito and Momo managed to calm Lala down and she agreed to help Alucard and his party defeat the master of this castle.
The next area after climbing up the stairs is a huge church like area of the Chapel with a huge organ in the center. As Alucard and his party entered this area, they heard, "Well, well, well! If it isn't Alucard!" That voice belonged to Melona.
"That voice…" Reina, Jean, Nowa, Ymir and Tomoe's eyes widen in shock as they see Melona and the rest of the Swamp Three standing across from them in this area. Reina unsheathed her sword and pointed it at Melona. "You three! I should have known you were here as well!"
"You know these women, Reina-chan?" Yukki asked her, her fox ears twitched with curiosity.
"She's not the only one who knows these three…" Jean frowned furiously at the Swamp Three. "These sexy but evil women are Melona, Airi and Menace. Melona is a shape-shifter who can copy moves and even weapons. Airi is a ghost maid who can slowly drain the life out of you. And Menace is the ghost of a queen of a destroyed kingdom of long ago in our world. They serve the Swamp Witch, one of the members of the Grand Order of Evil as you recall."
"Ahhhh!" Yuusuke panicked. "They looked menacingly!" He nearly wet himself.
"Hello, Reina! It's so good to see you again!" Melona winked as she placed one hand on her hip. "I see you allied with half-vampire do-gooder son of Dracula, Alucard."
"You must be part of the Knights of Evil, those who serve the Grand Order of Evil…" Alucard narrowed his eyes fiercely as he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the Swamp Trio. "Then you must know who the Master of this castle who formed the Order is. Tell me who the Master of this castle is so I can stop him or her from resurrecting my accursed father."
"We cannot give information for a half-breed who has betrayed his father who is the Lord of Vampires and future ruler of the universe…" Airi readies her scythe and got into a battle stance. "But if you hand over the girl called Bridget, perhaps Lord Death can forgive you for betraying Dracula and siding with those mortals with that Belmont you befriended before this era."
"I would never betray my mother's wishes and would never forsake my friendship with Trevor C. Belmont…" Alucard growled dangerously. "I promise both my mother and Trevor and his children that I would rid the world of the evil that plagues it. I will protect Bridget from the Master and his Order… So if it means to destroy you three, so be it!"
"You got that right!" Inuyasha growled as he unsheathed his Tetsusaiga and gripped it.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome was surprised that her future half-demon lover would agree with Alucard.
"Alucard may be related to the vampire who's trying to mass genocide every living being in the universe, but he too has a human mother to honor her wishes… And that act of generosity reminded me of my mom! So say your prayers, you demonic freaks!" The half dog demon snarled as he got into a battle position.
"Inuyasha…" Alucard couldn't help but smiled slightly at Inuyasha's growing trust in him. Inuyasha may be arrogant, but he has a noble heart and he has the same love of a human mother like he does.
"Here, here, Inuyasha!" Mai nodded as she got her fan ready. "Honoring a beloved family member's wishes is the ultimate act of justice!"
"Same here." Reina unsheathed her sword and got into a battle position.
"I agree as well." Tomoe unsheathed her katana.
"Is that how pheasants like you should act? Very well then…" Menace's fists glowed with blue spirit energy.
"Yikes! That Egyptian looking woman is using some sort of freaky magic thingy!" Joey gritted his teeth in fear as he stepped back a little.
"Alucard…" Futaba looked at Alucard with trusting eyes.
"Very well then, Alucard. Time to die!" Melona shouted as she shape shifted into Reina.
"What on earth?" Rem gasped. "She transformed into Reina! This could be bad since we can't tell which is which!"
"I can sense the fake Reina's dark aura with those two." Bridget stated seriously as she can somehow see the dark aura coming from Reina Melona. "As long as Alucard and his friends can focus on the battle at hand, they should be okay."
Alucard charged at Reina Melona and clashed swords with her. 'This should be easy…' Melona thought to herself. 'With his precious equipment, Alucard should fall down in 30 seconds or so.' However, Alucard when Melona tried to slash him, disappeared as soon as the sword connected to his torso and he reappeared behind her and slashed her in the back. "The hell?! I thought without your precious equipment, you would be weak! Weak!" She screamed in disbelief.
"Fool." Alucard smirked. "Even without my equipment, I am still powerful over the years." Alucard slashed Reina Melona three times with his sword and adding in a punch in the torso, knocking her back a little.
Inuyasha charged at Airi and they locked weapons. Airi tried to use her energy draining move, but Inuyasha managed to break his Tetsusaiga free and did a lower slash, giving Airi some decent hurt.
"Not bad for a half-breed…" Airi muttered as she got into a defensive position.
"Feh, you're not bad yourself. But I'm better!" Inuyasha grinned as he raised his sword. "Wind Scar!" He slams the mighty Tetsusaiga down, the wind attack hit Airi, she tried to reflect it, but it was too strong as her barrier shattered. Tomoe rushed in and slashed Airi three times with her katana.
Mai threw five shuriken at Menace who deflected them with her hands. However, that wasn't Mai's original plan, she charged in and punched Menace in the gut, making the ghost queen spit out blood.
"You pheasant!" Menace growled as she used, Setra to inflict harm onto her, Mai was hit in the stomach five times by Menace's scepter and punches, but the Crimson Ninja recovered and gave Menace a killer uppercut.
Airi lashed energy scythe blades at Inuyasha who was hit by them in the arm, but he recovered quickly and he shouted "Iron Rever Soul Stealer!" He lashed his energy claws at Airi who was hit by them and was implanted into the wall.
Mai and Menace traded blows with each other for a good 2 minutes until Mai saw an opening in Menace's attacks and used her leg to sock Menace in the chin, which flung her towards the ceiling, knocking her out for the rest of the fight. Mai didn't kill Menace, but she knocked the ghost queen out.
Melona shape shifted into Tomoe and tried to use this form against Alucard by slashing rapidly on him. But luckily, Reina swoop in and slashed Melona across the chest, reverting Melona to her original form.
"H-How the hell can a half-breed like you be able to beat me, the great Melona?!" Melona gawked as Alucard glowed red.
"I didn't do it alone. I fought alongside Trevor Belmont and his allies against my father. And now history repeats itself with my new allies." Alucard smirked as he let out a battle yell as he slams his sword down, resulting in a shockwave that knocked Melona into the organ piano, crumbling to pieces. When the dust settled, Melona's head was sticking out of it, swirly eyes and all as stars float around her head. Alucard sheathed her sword.
"That is super awesome, mister Alucard!" Lala cheered..
"Yeah, way to go guys." Lili smiled as she folded her arms.
Dizzt however, looked at the Swamp Three in concern. "Are they gonna be alright?"
"Believe me, they will be alright." Ymir sighed. Suddenly, Alice's PDA beeped.
"Huh?" Alice got out her PDA and checked the display on it. "A Queen's Gate Dimensional Rift is opening here!"
"Eh?" Chigusa looked at it in wonder. A hole opened up in the sky and Alucard's party could heard screaming coming from it. After getting out of the way, they see a figure falling out of the hole. Alucard inspected the person falling out of the dimensional hole from a safe distance.
…An angel?"
To be continued…
Next chapter: The Third Deviluke Sister: Angeloids and Saving Two of Laura's Friends
A/N: Whew, another long chapter, hopefully. Anyway, next time, Alucard and the gang will meet the Heaven's Lost Property gang, and then rescue Houki Shinonono, Cecilia Alcott and Nana from To-Love-Ru from the brainwashed spell. It's been a long time since October since I worked on this fanfic. And now renewed interest has got me to work on it again. Also, I was thinking of changing Dracula's final form seen in the final boss battle of Symphony of the Night. Can you give me ideas on a new design for Dracula's final boss form for the final battle of this story? Feel free me to PM me on ideas regarding that. I hope to see you next time. Happy New Year, everyone! P.S. Good luck to future fanfic writers, everywhere.
