Me: Hello there people. It's WOLFWATCHER12 comin at ya with yet another great crossover. And here with me are my good friends, PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47 and Rougarou144 to help out.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Hey, hey, hey! How's it going, guys?

Rougarou144: Hey guys and gals! Let's see what we've got today.

Me: Glad you guys are up for it, because this one is a crossover between the game that in my opinion is the spiritual successor to Castlevania, Koji Igarashi's Bloodstained and the Capcom fighting game, Darkstalkers!

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: NICE!

Rougarou144: Awesome.

Me: It sure is! I have my own OC's, one is a Daywalker and the other is a Shardbinder. I hope you got some of your own. Because they will be in this story as well!

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Nice! My Shardbinder OC, Taiga Hozuki, and my Darkstalkers OCs, Akame Onigashima (a red oni), Naoto Ketsuzuki (a fledgeling Vampire), Erica (a Werecat like Felicia, but colored like a bombay cat) and Solarion (a being infused with the power of the sun) are in this

Rougarou144: I've got my hot zombie chick and a recent Shardbinder OC.

Me: Great. Now, here is the plot for this new story. It takes place after the events of Ritual Of The Night and in the modern era. Jaden Xiao Long is an ordinary young man, or so he thinks. He had a rough childhood because his father was an alcoholic drunkard and a drug addict. When Jaden did not want to listen to him, the psycho would beat him over the head. And over the years he had enough, suffering under the awful man's influence.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Damn. Poor Jaden. Something's gottabe done.

Rougarou144: I feel for him.

Me: Well don't worry, something does happen that turns his life up, down and all around. When he was 13 years old, he worked so hard to impress his father, but the man would never be impressed and beat on him and bully him around again, constantly saying he would never be successful, not in business, life or anything because he was too dumb. And when he talked back, he punched his father in the balls, telling him that the father didn't deserve his respect at all. He wishes the man had died instead of his mother and the abusive father grabbed him by his neck and tried to choke him to death, saying he had no say in anything, only for the boy's teacher to intervene and he brought the police with him and the abusive man was arrested.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Holy hot damn!

Rougarou144: At least the guy is gone.

Me: Yes, but things aren't as they seem. The teacher then took him to a safe place, but the teacher is forced into hiding by the abusive father, who the boy finds out is not his biological father at all, his real father was human, but his mother was a vampire and the man sought to erase the boy from the world along with his 'whore mother' forever and the abusive one laughed an evil laugh as he was about to kill Jaden with a butcher knife, telling him he doesn't deserve to be called a human and that he should rot in the gutter where he belonged, only for a certain succubus to kill him. Can you guess who that is?

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Yes. That succubus is none other than Morrigan Aensland.

Rougarou144: One heroic hot demoness. Awesome.

Me: That's correct! Morrigan wonders what Jaden is doing all alone in the pouring rain and he tells her what he was doing, they are later met by his teacher, Moses Nagareiji, he was a vampire hunter with some Samurai heritage.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Cool!

Rougarou144: Nice.

Me: Very. He tells Jaden that the abusive man was the one who kidnapped him from his parents when he was a baby, and while he was sleeping no less. And he would watch over Jaden until he turned 18 and proved himself worthy of being a Vampire Hunter because Moses had a feeling that a vampire named Demitri Maximoff would one day return after his defeat in Makai, the Demon Realm. Morrigan tells Jaden she'll see him again in a few years, since she is immortal, she never ages in physical terms, but she's very mature. All the while, Jedah Dohma is also lurking, as he seeks to merge the human world and Makai Kingdom into a new Majigen.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Damn. That can't be good.

Rougarou144: That's bad.

Me: Exactly! Meanwhile, as Jaden is training his butt off to the point of muscle cramps, a new threat rears it's ugly head. It would seem as though an evil scientist who was ridiculed by Jaden for his blasphemous remarks about his own students, Jaden being one of them, and immediately fired for trying to force them to do his work forever. Jaden did not like it at all, and he's seen one of his old classmates commit suicide because of that man.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Holy shit! That's seriously twisted.

Rougarou144: That's definitely harsh.

Me: As if that wasn't bad enough, another part of his heart-crushing backstory is that the girl Jaden crushed on, Blair Kensington-Gutierrez, rejected him for being a broke, poor and pathetic loser who in her eyes was stupid, ugly, gross and a worthless nerdy incel. She told him that nobody liked him and made him cry, however Blair got in trouble for hitting him. She was expelled from their school and was banned from the premises for life while her parents sent her to a strict all-girls boarding school in the middle of nowhere.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Good riddance to bad rubbish, as they say in England.

Rougarou144: Definitely good riddance.

Me: Exactly, Demitri and Jedah are both brought together by this scientist and they bring forth the King of the Demons, Bael, to the human world, and they give him a new body where one of his heads is in the form of his gauntlet on his right arm and the other is a sword he carries on his back, as for the main head, he looks like a fusion of several villains, one of which being Naraku from InuYasha and another being Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Holy shit!

Rougarou144: Talk about a recipe for pure evil.

Me: Indeed so, and now that Jaden has proven himself worthy of being a vampire hunter, Moses gives him his weapon, the Nitestrikyr, which is a sword whip, to fight against Demitri, Jedah, Bael and their minions of the Dark. However, Jaden sees Morrigan again and she joins him to destroy Demitri because she knows how much of a tyrant he is, they are met by the Shardbinder, Miriam, who had awoken yet again, after being asleep since the 1780's and she no longer has the tattoos she had when she was fighting Gebel, save for one which is on her boob while the crystal on her back can no longer be seen by some.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Hot dayum!

Rougarou144: Nice.

Me: Uh huh, and she is met by Morrigan and Jaden, they tell her what's been going on and they are met by an alchemist who is a descendant of Johannes, the one who helped Miriam during the battle with Gebel and he tells her that Zangetsu, the samurai exorcist who helped Miriam before had a descendant as well, she is skilled with a sword and is a kunoichi who is a bit of a pervert because she is often frisky and another ally is someone who helped Zangetsu before, Hachi, a very intelligent Corgi Dog in a robotic suit, a female Shardbinder named Koriana and other allies who agree to help. Felicia the Cat-Woman, Jon Talbain and other Darkstalkers have been captured by this madman and the monsters.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Holy crap!

Rougarou144: Nice people. They need saving.

Me: Indeed, and some of the bosses will include brainwashed and corrupted versions of the Darkstalkers, as well as a demon-powered human who aims to be the successor of Jack The Ripper, the very person I based that OC on.

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Holy trapezoid!

Rougarou144: Interesting idea. Fun fact that Jack the Ripper still hasn't officially been identified. Or was he and nobody believed it?

Me: Hmm, intriguing. So, can Jaden, Morrigan and Miriam find a way to stop this quartet of evil, save the good-natured Darkstalkers and prevent the Human World from being overtaken by the Makai Kingdom? And is it possible that Pyron could be on his way to scorch the planet and burn the populace so that the Old Races will rule?

PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: Yipe!

Rougarou144: I say let's find out.

Me: Right, Rougarou, so with that in mind, let's begin this new story I have dubbed…..BLOODSTAINED: NIGHT OF THE DARKSTALKERS!

Chapter 1: The Daywalker Awakens!

The Industrial Revolution ushered in a new era that threatened to transform the values of men. No longer would spirituality be their compass. But not all welcomed the change.

In the year 1783, just as the fires of the Laki Eruption had plunged all of Europe into an ashen darkness…a horde of demons spilled from the shadows and fell upon city after city in Europe. It was a message.

The Alchemy Guild, fearing the rise of industrialism and abandonment by their wealthy patrons, had done the unthinkable to defend their existence. Through recondite arts, the Alchemy Guild had created beings called Shardbinders: which were humans transplanted with crystals that attuned them to demonic power.

They sacrificed the Shardbinders, and in doing so threw the gates of the world open to demonkind and their vile king, Bael. Countless innocents died that very century. And though the Church succeeded in vanquishing the hellsent, a steep price had already been paid and collected.

As for the Shardbinders, they were presumed to have all died in the sacrificial rite. However, two survived: Gebel, a boy for whom, by some miracle, the rite did not prove fatal,
and Miriam, a girl who was spared the rite altogether on account of the strange slumber that took her just before it could begin. Ten years had passed, and mankind too soon forgets tragedy. The demons had returned, gathered by a great castle. And at that very hour, Miriam awoke.

Upon learning Gebel was the architect of that new, bloodstained ritual, Miriam and the Alchemist, Johannes, set forth for the accursed castle. While exploring the castle known as the Hellhold, she ran into the original leader of the Alchemy Guild, Alfred, who had been looking for this book known as the Liber Logaeth, which had been in Gebel's hands.

Zangetsu informed Miriam that Gebel was actually being controlled as a puppet by the demon known as Gremory, who could turn into an exact replica of the moon. He gave Miriam his weapon, the Zangetsuto, to defeat Gremory and she later learned that a woman from the Church, Dominique Baldwin, had sought to use the devilish book to bring forth Bael and kill God.

In the end, Miriam triumphed, even though she lost Gebel, Alfred and Zangetsu. Johannes used the Liber Logaeth to perform a rite to send the Hellhold back from where it came from and Johannes decided to make a way to stop the crystal on Miriam's body from devouring her.

But while that was happening, the ruler of the Makai Kingdom, Belial Aensland, the head of the Aensland noble family, his ancestry spans back to the original ruler of the realm, Zeruru Aensland. He has never desired to rule with an iron first like Demitri; this is because he considers Makai an extension of himself. He fought against a vampire named Demitri Maximoff, who had gone to his domain in an effort to steal his rule and use the Makai Realm for his evil plans. Because of this, Belial had casted out Demitri from Makai realm, and into the human realm.

After that encounter, Belial passed away, due to being weakened from having to manipulate time-and-space from sending Demitri to another realm, leaving his only adopted daughter, the succubus Morrigan Aensland, as the ruler of the Aensland kingdom. But then, Demitri was revived by humans who called him with tribute, and the vampire sets up a tournament to see who is the strongest of the beings called the Darkstalkers and who shall truly be the ruler of the night.

However, an alien named Pyron sought to have the Old Races serve him while he would bring the Human Race to its knees, but Demitri reluctantly teamed up with Morrigan and the Dark Hunter, Donovan Bane, to defeat Pyron and send him back to his planet, Helstorm.

It is now the 21st Century, and science and technology are dominant. But a horrible night is about to fall upon the world as the arrival of a Daywalker is about to happen. Will evil succeed or will good triumph? Nobody Knows who will emerge the victor of this bloodstained battle…

BLOODSTAINED: NIGHT OF THE DARKSTALKERS!


We find ourselves in the present day, in the city of Chicago, Illinois, the 'Windy City' in the United States of America. The lightning flashed, the wind roared, it was a dark and windy night for a thunderstorm. And on the streets is where we see a young man with black hair styled like Kenichi Shirahama crossed with Strider Hiryu, and blue eyes dressed in a run-down hoodie, hole-ridden pants and withering tennis shoes. This was Jaden Xiao-Long, a U.S Born Asian-American. Jaden lived a normal life, until it all went downhill when his mother passed away, and his father was an alcoholic and drug-addict who just couldn't contain his anger. Jaden is currently running away from home after an altercation he had with his father.

'Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, FUCKING DAMMIT!' Jaden snarled in his head. He felt bad that his mother was not there to help him anymore and with his father being addicted to alcohol and drugs, he had nobody to turn to. "Why do bad things always happen to me when I'm a good person at heart?" he asked himself, as he cried his eyes out.


Flashback…Two Years Earlier…

When Jaden was twelve, he was being mistreated by his alcoholic drug addict father, who had told him to get his booze

"Jaden! Get your sorry ass into the kitchen, and get me some booze!" snarled a voice belonging to Jaden's dad, Delsin.

Jaden had turned to him and would not budge, "...NO! I am NOT your errand boy!" he shouted at him, feeling like he could stand up to him. "If you want your precious booze so much, get off your lazy butt and do it yourself!"

Delsin scowled, and got to his feet. "You mouth off like that again, you little ass-fucker, and I'll put you in urgent care!" he snarled.

"I don't care!" he shot back at him. "People like you don't understand how I feel! And you'll NEVER understand, you…..you…BLASPHEMOUS SCUMBUCKET!" Jaden kicked Delsin in the area where no man should ever be hit.

"ACCCCKKKK!" Delsin yelped, his eyes watering as he dropped to his knees, clutching his "Family Jewels" in pain. "I think I'm gonna be sick…!" he got out in a strained voice, torn between crying or throwing up. Jaden then made a break for it. He then left the booze on the coffee table, but Delsin did see that he put it over there.

He saw the booze right there and then tried to grab it, but then Jaden glared at Delsin with a face that said "If you so much as even TOUCH me, I don't give a flying rat if you're my dad, I'll send you to urgent-care in self defense!" he yelled, as he began crying."I'll do it! I'll go for a knife, and carve a Chelsea smile on your damned face! That way, you look like Kuchisake-onna mixed with Jeff the Killer!" He then ran out the door, and never looked back.

Delsin growled, and stormed after him. "If I get my hands on you…!" he snarled. He then started chasing Jaden. Their chase went into the living room, the master bedroom, the bathroom, Jaden's room and then into the hallways of the apartment complex they were in. They then run out to the poolside where Delsin crashed into a rake by stepping on it and going face first into the stick. "Ouch." he grunted. He saw that one of his two front teeth were chipped. "Damn, chipped a tooth." he mumbled.

"What in the hay?" blurted out a voice belonging to one of the neighbors. And they raced over to see what was the matter.

"Oh my stars! That man's trying to kill that poor boy!" said a woman, worried for Jaden's safety

"Someone call the cops and file a domestic abuse report, ASAP!" said a worried man, as he panicked in horror at the sight of this.

Jaden then tripped and fell in the pool, much to Delsin's shock. But, he laughed, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS SO CLUMSY!" he slurred.

Jaden then began swimming out of the pool as fast as he could. "For the love of criminently!" he uttered. "How undignified!"

Delsin then grabbed Jaden and punched him so bad, he busted his upper lip and hit him with his bottle. "You're not gettin' away! You are not smart enough to get into a stupid college!"

"SHUT UP!" Jaden said back to him. "I AM smarter than you could ever hope to be!" He defended him. "You can try and hurt me, but you will never break my spirit! It's not MY fault you're a lazy slug who did nothing with his life!" he said before spitting in Delsin's face.

That made Delsin so angry he whacked him with his bottle again, "I told you NEVER to speak to me like that again, you ungrateful BRAT!" he gritted his teeth when he said that. "Now I'm gonna lock you in the basement and make sure you NEVER see sunlight EVER again! I'm locking you in there so I can BEAT you as many times as I want! If you don't want that, then OBEY ME! I OWN YOU!" he was about to beat him over again.

"NO! YOU WILL NOT HURT HIM, ASSHOLE!" said the male neighbor, as he showed courage and kicked him in the gut and then did a judo throw to the awful man.

*BANG*

A gun went off and police surrounded him, "FREEZE! CHICAGO P.D., NOBODY MOVE!" said the lead policeman.

The officers seized Delsin and he demanded, "YOU CALLED THE FUCKING COPS!?"

"He didn't!" the voice of the female neighbor, Rhoda, as she came up and slapped Delsin in the face. "We all did, you scum bucket!"

"You are an irredeemable monster!" said a male neighbor, scowling at Delsin. "And now, you're finally getting a punishment that'll stick!"

Delsin freaked out about it and tried to fight back, but he was sent into a straight jacket and loaded into the paddy wagon. And Jaden was a little down and was held by Rhoda. "I can't believe he'd do that." he said, as he held his face.

"It's gonna be OK, kiddo. That monster in human skin is finally getting his just punishment." said Rhoda, reassuring Jaden when she held him in her arms.

End Flashback…For Now…


As Jaden walked around, he then felt something drop on his head, it was a raindrop. "Crud Fudge, it's about to rain." he muttered to himself.

And he begins to take shelter from the rain, he does so in an abandoned building and he hid himself inside a closet there, granted it wasn't warm, but he endured it. Jaden had a tolerance for cold weather as well as rainy weather. 'I should be safe in here for the time being.' he thought to himself.

Little did he know, a bunch of hoods were roaming the hallways of the building.

"Are you sure this place isn't occupied?" said one of the hoods.

"One hundred and ten percent." said the leader. "I've scouted places like this before and I'm telling you, this is a great place to be our turf and get all those other gangs to back away so they can't take over!"

"Hopefully." said the shorter one, he was holding a flashlight in one hand, and a Glock in the other.

Jaden had an antsy expression on his face, as he started hyperventilating. He was not heard by the thugs, and they did not hear him either. So, they began their search upstairs to make sure that the place was sturdy. And as they did so, the boy crept out and began looking for a weapon to use against these thugs who were roaming about.

He began to search and with luck, he found a stick and saw that it was in fact a spear. "Handy." said Jaden., as he mumbled to himself. He had received some combat training from his teacher, a man named Moses.


Flashback…Two Years Earlier…Again…

When Jaden was 13 years old, he brought his teacher, Moses with him to his place to show his father that he had won a martial arts tournament.

"Hey, dad! Moses took me to a martial-arts tournament, and I won first place! How cool is that?" said Jaden, with an elated smile.

Delsin had an annoyed scowl, and looked at Moses, "Well..I suppose that's a good development." he said, dryly, he was currently intoxicated. Moses had an annoyed look on his face, seeing that he is a man who's never satisfied. "

'Oh, for goodness sakes.' Moses thought, annoyed and played along with the charade. "Since you were too busy, I took Jaden to his tournament. I also heard from a neighbor of yours that your car's tail light is out."

Delsin was surprised, "My tail light's out? Oh, for Pete's sake!" He sounded annoyed. "I hate when that happens!" Then, he snatched the trophy from Jaden's hand and was surprised to see, "First place!? And all you got was this piece of trash?"

"And I got a black belt in karate too." Jaden added.

Moses smiled at that, "You should have seen it for yourself. He delivered a final blow and when one of them tried to cheat, he saw through the deception and knocked the guy out." he added.

Delsin was taken aback, and yet unimpressed. "I can't believe he knocked that guy out after the guy tried to cheat." he mumbled to himself and then he turned to Moses. "But, I also can't believe you took my boy without mypermission!" he said to the man. "I'd a called the cops on you!" but then he stumbled back a little bit.

Moses then said, "Hey, don't go blaming me for nothing!" he shot back at him. "I did the kid a favor! You should be proud of him."

"For what!? Throwing hands? Being a little Mister smart-guy? Get real." said Delsin, scowling. "You're just filling him with hope. Telling him he's gonna be the next Daniel LaRusso, giving him stupid fantasies!"

Jaden clenched his fist and said, "They're NOT fantasies! They NEVER were and never will be!" he shot back at his father. "Even my teacher told me I can get into a good college! He said I could get a scholarship!"

Delsin scowled as he drank the alcohol in his hand. "For what!?" He didn't care. "You're not smart enough. You'll never be successful, not in business, not in life, not in ANYTHING!" he countered, making him feel small. "And you will never be successful at anything because you're too dumb!"

Moses was triggered. He had had enough, but Jaden stood his ground. "YES I AM! I'm way smarter than you could EVER hope to be!" he shot back at his awful father. "You're just a useless, lowdown, shit-headed, scam ridden drunkard who did nothing with his life!"

However, Delsin got mad, "I told you to NEVER speak to me like that again, especially after the last time I was carted off!" he demanded.

But Jaden scowled, "SHUT UP YOU ALCOHOL ADDICTED MOTHERFUCKER!" he barked, as he stood his ground. And Moses was surprised to see his student standing up for himself.

Delsin then got ready to whack Jaden over the head until Moses got in the way to save Jaden and he was whacked instead. That caused Jaden to fall onto the ground and Moses to land slanted against the wall. And he stumbled and slurred at Moses, "You see, I told you to stay outta my business. You leave my boy alone." He was on his way to kick him.

"Get away from him, you irredeemable monster!" said Jaden, as he then socked Delsin in the groin, hard.

"Not again…!" Delsin yelped, tearing up as he dropped to his knees and then to the side of his body, wincing and groaning in pain.

Jaden then rushed over to Moses' side, "You alright, Moses?"

He was helped up by his student. "Yeah. I'll be OK." said Moses, reassuring Jaden with a smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome sir." said Jaden, with a smile.

Delsin groaned in pain, "That…hurt…" he groaned before getting back to his feet and then he grabbed the trophy Jaden had earned. "This trophy is trash! YOU'RE trash too!" he shouted, throwing it on the floor.

Jaden was shocked and heartbroken, and Moses was furious. "Dad, NO!" Jaden screamed.

But Delsin did not stop as he stomped on the trophy, breaking it to pieces. "Delsin stop! Your son earned that!"

"I DON'T CARE!" he yelled back at them. "He doesn't deserve to have ANYTHING! AND HE NEVER WILL!" Delsin then stopped his stomping and said, "I'm gonna get you this time boy! And you will not get away from me! In fact, you ain't ever seeing daylight again, because I'm locking you in the basement forever! And I will never let you out! YOU ARE WORTHLESS TRASH AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE A LIFE AT ALL!"

But just as he was about to do that, "I WON'T ALLOW IT!" the teacher yelled as the abusive man got ready to hurt the boy, but Moses gripped both of Delsin's fists.

Delsin grunted, "GET OUTTA MY WAY, OLD MAN!" he demanded.

Moses would not back down though, "If you so much as hurt him, I swear I'll kill you a thousand times worse!" Moses snarled, intending to hurt Delsin if he so much as hurt Jaden. He then headbutted Delsin in the face.

But the both of them stopped, and then Delsin turned to Jaden. "I want YOU OUT of my house!" he barked. "LEAVE and never come back! JUST LIKE YOUR WHORE MOTHER!" he yelled, insulting the woman who 'he thought he was married to' as he forced his child out of the house.

Jaden snarled in a rage and then his eyes began to glow with anger and he hissed as his teeth became fangs, "I HATE YOU, ASSHOLE!" he jumped on Delsin and began beating the awful man up so badly he began to bleed. He then stopped because he began to pack his bags and bolted out of there crying again as his eyes returned to normal as well as his teeth.

Moses then placed his foot on Delsin's chest and kicked him there, Rhoda came in and heard the commotion and then, "I heard everything!" she said, as she came in. She also got out her phone. "I also recorded everything on the security cameras that are all over this building. And you, Delsin Mardux, are no longer welcome here anymore!" She then turned to Moses, "Oh, hello there, sir. Who are you?"

"Moses, I'm Jaden's martial arts teacher." he said, meeting her.

"Nice to meet you, Moses. I'm Rhoda, one of the neighbors and business partner for the landlady of this place." She introduced herself to the man.

They both loomed over Delsin, "I'm filing domestic abuse charges against your sorry hide, and you're going to prison." said Moses, scowling at Delsin. "You'll be beaten and molested on a regular basis, and then you'll hang!"

"Wait, what!? Y-you're kidding!" Delsin gulped, scared. "I don't wanna be some muscle-bound goon's personal plaything!"

"You're an absolute disgrace." said Moses, as he and Jaden then left. Delsin looked to see some police-cars arriving.

"Ohhhh…crap." said Delsin, feeling frustrated. The police arrived, and loaded Delsin into the back of a police-cruiser and Moses went to find Jaden, and Rhoda went with him.

They found him by the parking lot where they saw him crying and they knelt down next to him. "Jaden…Jaden…look at me." said Rhoda, in a soothing way.

Jaden looked up, "Rhoda? Is that you?" he asked.

She nodded, "Yeah." she said. "I recorded everything that awful man had done to you and immediately called the police to tell them the situation."

Jaden smiled at her and said, "Thanks, but I have nowhere to go anymore."

It was then that Rhoda's daughter, Layla, came up and hugged him, "Don't feel down, Jay. I'll hold you." she said, embracing him. "You can stay with Mr. Moses."

"Yeah, Jaden. You can stay with me for a while." said Moses, reassuring Jaden.

The heart-crushed boy looked up at his teacher and was moved by his words. "Really? You'd allow me to stay with you?" he asked him.

"Of course, kiddo." said Moses with a smile. "And I even want you to meet my younger brother."

"I hope he's not abusive like my psychotic, alcoholic father." Jaden said.

Moses then said, "Don't worry, he's stayed true to his place." He assured the boy and gave him a hug, making Jaden show his tears of joy.

End Flashback…For real this time…


After remembering that, he decided to try and fight the goons from the shadows. He gripped the spear in both hands and began sneaking around to ambush them. As he was sneaking, the goons were looking all over the place, touring it.

"This looks like a good hangout," said one of the goons. "Could use some dusting and get rid of some of the cobwebs."

"I'd actually want to keep some of them, y'know, to scare intruders," said the leader, smiling a little.

As they made their way around, Jaden made his rounds as well, he tip-toed a-la Elmer Fudd. He then made a left at the ballroom and managed to hide himself in the floor after he found a staircase behind the walls. He then waited for the thugs to come in as he watched their every move.

The leader of these thugs, Kelvin, looked around and said, "Hmm, a ballroom, eh?" as he admired the layout. "Seems like a good place for party central."

"Oh yeah, I like that idea, big bro." said the other thug, who was his little brother, with a smile on his face. This one was Kelvin's little brother, Tyrone.

"Glad to hear it, lil' brother," said Kelvin, as they side-hugged each other, with smiles on their faces.

One of the other guys, Lucky Luke, as it said on his jacket, agreed with that notion. "Good idea, boss." he said. "We could set up a rockin stereo, and since the pool is empty already, we could make it into a skateboarding area. It'll be wild!"

"Incredible idea!" said Kelvin, with a smirk. "I like the way you think, Lucky Luke."

"Thanks, boss." said Luke, with a smile on his face.

Jaden was breathing shakily. 'Keep your nerves steady Jay. Try your damnedest not to have a nervous breakdown.' he thought. He gripped his spear tightly as he moved inside the floor without making any noise as he combat-crawled in it.

The other guys looked in the other rooms, one was a bathroom, there was an extra bathroom downstairs near the other staircase and Kelvin went into the master bedroom. "Hmm, this needs cleaning. And done right, this will be our new pad." he said.

Jaden then remembered the training he underwent with Moses. And he went through the internal floor maze, he made it to the shut down boiler room.

"Bingo." said Jaden. 'It's not my style, but it'll do.' he thought. He began setting up a trap. He set up various traps inspired by the Home Alone franchise, while whistling the opening song to RWBY volume 9. He set up traps involving trip-wires, banana peels, etc. Yes, it was pretty much the whole shebango. He then gripped his spear, ready to defend himself in case the traps wound up failing.

"And now, I wait for the right moment to strike," said Jaden, determined to stop the thugs once and for all.

And as the thugs were touring the place, *THUMP, SMACK-SMACK, WUMBA-WUM-WUM, WUMBA-WUM-WUM* they heard the sound of something being hit.

It made them jump in shock and fright. "W-W-W-WHAT WAS THAT!?" said Lucky Luke.

"I dunno!" Kelvin replied.

One of them, the taller one of them all, Big Torvald, spoke up, "I'm gonna look around." he said, as another thug followed him. They ran across the place and found a staircase, hidden in a wall two or three inches away from the fireplace in the library. "Hey, Bill, look at this!"

The one called Bill ran up and looked at the spot in question, "Whoa! Looks to be a secret passage. Shall we go down there?" he asked him.

Big Torvald nodded, "Right, let's both go down there and report back to Kelvin before anyone comes." he related to him.

"Good idea, big guy." Bill agreed, as they got their flashlights and began heading on down the stairs. However, the stairs were covered in permafrost, causing him to slip and fall down the stairs. He tumbled down the stairs yowling and grunting with pain.

"Bill, are you alright?" said Torvald, worried for his friend.

Bill got to his feet. "I think I chipped a tooth," he groaned.

As they got up, Torvald grabbed the doorknob, "OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!" Torvald yowled, having burnt his hand on the doorknob, resulting in a second-degree burn scar on his hand. "MotherFUCKER!"

Lucky Luke looked to see a pellet gun barrel poking out through a door, and there was a *BANG!* "AUUUUUGHHH! MY FAMILY JEWELS!" he yowled, dropping to his knees, indicating he got shot right where the sun didn't shine.

'Gotcha.' thought Jaden, smirking.

Kelvin opened a door, only for a stream of flames to shoot out "SWEET MERCIFUL HADES!" he yelped, as he ducked, only to have his hat burned. "Awww crap-dammit, that was my favorite hat!"

Suddenly, Lucky Luke had gotten a text from Bill and Big Torvald. "Looks like someone doesn't want us here, boss!" said Lucky Luke. "Whoever this guy is, they must've taken inspiration from the Home Alone franchise!"

"Well, find who it is, and break their head open!" said Kelvin, with a scowl of frustration.

They began searching around and Lucky Luke made his way to the conservatory, which looked like it had seen better days, the plants all wilted away and the pots were smashed to disrepair. "Jeez Louise, looks like this room needs a major facelift." he muttered.

"Yeah, just like your face, scuzzbucket!" said a young male voice behind Lucky Luke. Jaden rushed Lucky Luke with his spear in hand.

"What the hell!?" said Lucky Luke, feeling stunned as Jaden whacked him with the spear. This knocked the thug out cold, leaving Jaden standing.

"Nighty-night, punk." said Jaden, scowling. He then began sneaking around, "That's four down, two more to go." he said to himself.

Little did Jaden know, something else was happening outside the old estate. A woman was watching from afar. She had aquamarine hair and eyes and wore black and purple. She also appeared to have two sets of wings, one pair on her midsection, and a smaller pair on her head. This was Morrigan Aensland, a Succubus from the realm of Makai, where her father, Belial Aensland, ruled and now she is in charge. She still loves being in the human world and it feels like home to her.

She was spying on someone down below, it looked to be a battered up Delsin, who looked like he just broke out of jail or something similar. 'Oh, this isn't good.' She thought with worry. She then tailed him.

Jaden managed to dispatch the rest of the thugs, as well. The only one left was Kelvin, and he was spooked out of his wits.

It was then that he heard a whacking sound and then the sound of a machine gun firing as the bullet ricocheted off the wall. "W-W-W-W-W-Who's there!? Show yourself!" said Kelvin, with an antsy expression on his face. And just when he looked horrified, as if he came out of the shadows, Jaden arrived, with his spear on his person. "What the hell? What's a kid doing here?"

"I'm defending my town from goons like you, Kelvin Butchermin!" Jaden said to the thug, now revealed to be the guy who bullied him before.

"Oh really? I'd like to see you try, pee-wee!" said Kelvin, sneering.

He whacked Kelvin with the spear and then he said, "Do you remember me, Kelvin!?" said Jaden, scowling. "I'm the kid you messed with on a near-daily basis."

"Wait, Jaden Xiao-Long?" Kelvin blurted out, shocked. "Is that you?"

Jaden nodded, "Yeah." he sneered.

"Holy crap, what're you doing here, kid?" he gasped in shock.

He explained, "I came here because I ran away from home!" Jaden said to the guy, "And this place is my hiding spot! You and those thugs have no place here!"

"Well, newsflash, shrimp. This place is our new hangout!" said Kelvin, scowling. "And there's nothing you can say or do to change that!" he got back up and began punching Jaden and kicking him in the ribs. He grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the corner.

As Kelvin was about to deliver one final punch, Jaden gripped his arm, and started squeezing to the point Kelvin's arm bone started to crack. Kelvin then saw Jaden's eyes turn blood-red with black slits, Jaden then hissed, revealing that his canine teeth had elongated into sharpened fangs.

"What…what the fuck even ARE you!?" Kelvin gulped. Jaden then unleashed a flurry of punches on Kelvin, bruising the larger man and managing to knock several of Kelvin's teeth out. The other thugs were shocked and horrified by this.

"Holy shit! RUN FOR IT, GUYS!" Kelvin yelped, as he and his goons made a break for it, screaming like a couple of scared little schoolgirls.

As they ran off, Jaden yelled in a mad voice, "AND DON'T COME BACK!" as he panted, but the glow in his eyes faded as they turned back to normal. "What in the heck was that?" he wondered, stunned by this.

But then, he got a whiff of something, it was a scent he recognized and he was angry. 'I know this scent,' he thought. Suddenly something, or someone, came out of the shadows and revealed themself. "You!" he said, with an ounce of venom in his voice. "I had a feeling I'd run into you again!"

He saw that it was Delsin, stumbling around and covered in soot. He then saw Jaden "What the, you got here before me? Dagummit!"

"Yep." said Jaden, smirking. "How did you get out of the paddy wagon?" he demanded to know.

"There was a riot," said Delsin, sneering. "And during it, the car fell over and managed to cut myself outta that straight jacket." he then saw the weapon Jaden was holding, "What're you gonna do with that toothpick?"

"I'm gonna run you through, if you so much as lay one damned finger on me!" said Jaden.

"Oh I'm so scared." Delsin taunted.

And so, the two clashed as Jaden began beating Delsin up with his mastery of martial arts and Delsin tried to counter with his drunken fighting.

"You think you're SOMETHING!? I got news for you, half-pint!" said Delsin. "You. Are. NOTHING!" He then gripped Jaden's spear in an attempt to break it in half over his knee. *CLANG* "EEEEEEYOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" he yowled in pain, realizing that the spear was made of metal. "Metal!? Ouch!" he winced. "I think my kneecap shattered like fine China!"

"Not likely!" Jaden said. He then grabbed Delsin by the arm and twisted it behind his back and snarled at him in an angry manner, "Now, you explain what is happening to me, and you better have the right frickerfrackin' answers, otherwise I'll make it so that you're spending the remainder of your life, breathing through a tube, and eating through a straw in urgent-care!"

"Ughhh….what do you mean?" he asked him.

"My eyes began to glow red and I had fangs, and because of that, I scared the living bejabbers out of Kelvin Butchermin and his goon squad!" he said, as what happened to him before began happening again. "And now it's happening again! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME!?" he demanded.

"Alright, I'll explain!" Delsin caved and told him everything, "You're not a normal human….Half of you is a blood-sucking Monster of the Dark!" he revealed, shocking Jaden to his very core after this revelation. "Your mother is a Vampiress who saw the good in all beings, Humanity included."

Jaden let go of him and was shook up, but then, something fell out of Delsin's pocket, it was a piece that was missing from the family picture, it showed Jaden as a baby with his mother, Victoria, and the man who had straight brown hair and a beard to match was dressed in a suit. Suddenly, something came flashing into his mind and he suddenly remembered that the man in the photo with him and his mom was his biological father, "You…..YOU WERE NEVER MY FATHER!? THEN WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

Delsin then revealed, "I am Delsin Mardeux, the man who killed your parents and stole you from them!" he snickered evilly. "I took you because they did not deserve to live! They did not deserve to have a happy life, and when they wouldn't give you to me to fill my void, I kidnapped you in the night while you slept!" He added more to it.

Jaden was angry, very angry, as his eyes started to turn back to red and his fangs came back out. "You're a fucking monster!" he snarled. "And now, I'm gonna rip your body to bloody pieces!" he roared. He then lunged at Delsin, who dodged.

"Close, but no cigar," said Delsin, sneering. He then knocked Jaden to the ground with a single attack. He then slammed Jaden against a wall. "I'm gonna enjoy sending you to join your worthless parents in Hell!" he snarled. He then advanced towards Jaden, ready to finish him off. "YOU AND YOUR KIND DON'T BELONG HERE! IT'S TIME FOR ALL OF YOU TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he cackled like a maniac who had gone off the deep end.

But, just as he was about to kill Jaden, someone flicked a sniper rifle bullet using their index-finger with all the force and power of a shotgun blast at Delsin. The bullet went through his hand, sending some blood everywhere and shattering his alcohol bottle.

"GAH!" Delsin yowled, shocked. He looked to the side of him, "W-W-Who's there!?" he demanded.

"If you so much as hurt that innocent little boy, I'll flay you alive!" said the voice of a silky smooth woman. Delsin turned to see that it was Morrigan, and the Succubus had a furious look on her face. "You will not hurt him!"

Delsin gulped, and slowly backed away. "Another one of you monsters!?" he gasped, shocked.

Morrigan scowled, as she walked towards Delsin. "Where do you get off, tormenting children and teenagers the way you do?" she demanded, grabbing him by the neck. And began kicking him. "Have you no regrets for the crimes you have committed? Those who've lost their pride, lose also their right to live!" she retorted, as she jumped into the air and her legs turned into a drill and kicked his chest. "I'm going to feed you your own heart." she growled, with murderous intent. She then crushed Delsin's jaw in a vice-grip, and yanked it from its sockets, before she thrust her hand through his chest, and pulled his still-beating heart out.

"Remember what I promised you." said Morrigan, as she then stuffed Delsin's heart into his mouth, and started to apply pressure to the sides of his head, slowly crushing it. "Now, swallow." She then crushed Delsin's head into bloody chunks with her bare hands.

(Co-Writer's Note by PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47: That death-scene was inspired by the Death Battle between Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man from Image Comics Invincibleand John Gillman/Homelander from The Boys,in where Omni-Man kills Homelander.)

"Are you going to be alright, kiddo?" said Morrigan, showing concern for Jaden. The boy tried to make her get away from him as he grunted, "It's okay, he's gone for good." She held the boy close to her breasts. Jaden shook a little, but calmed down.

"Who're you, ma'am?" said Jaden, curious.

"My name is Morrigan Aensland." said Morrigan, with a reassuring smile. She strokes his dark brown locks of hair and gives him a little peck on the forehead. "So, what's your name, sweetie?"

At first, he was upset by the revelation that he was a hybrid of human and Vampire but then, she wiped his tears. "My name's Jaden. Jaden Xiao-Long." said Jaden, smiling a little.

The woman with the blue hair saw him and was fascinated, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Jaden." said Morrigan, smiling. She then lifted him up and then saw how he looked, "I never thought I'd meet a Daywalker like you."

"Daywalker? Is that what I am?" said Jaden, perplexed.

"Yes. You are a hybrid between a Human father and a Vampiress mother." said Morrigan, explaining everything. "Your abilities are, but not limited to: shapeshifting, hypnosis, flight, intangibility, and blood manipulation."

"Nifty." said Jaden, with a small smile.

"You can hypnotize people, phase through solid objects, fly, shapeshift into either a timberwolf, a vampire bat, a horned owl, or a swarm of plague-carrying rats, and you can manipulate blood, as well as control people through their blood, and kill enemies by making their veins and arteries rupture from the inside-out." she replied.

Just then, "The aqua-haired woman is right, Jaden." Jaden then turned to see Moses walking up to him.

"Hello, Moses," said Morrigan.

Jaden was stunned. "Moses, hold on a minute! You know this woman?"

He nodded. "Yes, she's a member of the Aensland family, rulers of the Makai. A realm where demons live." Moses denoted, making him shocked. "Plus, she's a succubus."

Hearing that took Jaden by surprise. "A s-s-s-s-s-s-SUCCUBUS!?" he asked, feeling stunned. "You're an aphrodisiac monster who EATS the souls of men?!" as he jumped.

Morrigan nodded and said, "Yes. However, I've evolved beyond that urge. I can be picky sometimes." she shrugged her shoulders. "Also, I'm a Darkstalker."

Feeling surprised, "Darkstalker?" said Jaden, perplexed. "What's that?"

"A Darkstalker is a kind of being based around monsters such as vampires, mummies, werewolves, werecats, jiang-shi, and more." said Morrigan. And she began floating on her little cloud of bats. "Unfortunately, my father, Belial Aensland, passed away after defeating Demitri Maximoff."

"Damn. I'm really sorry to hear that, ma'am." said Jaden, feeling empathy for the succubus.

"It's okay, thank you." Morrigan said with a smile.

Jaden was touched to be hugged by a succubus who had a good heart. And then he looked at Moses, "So, Moses, where have you been? I tried to find you, but you weren't in your apartment." he asked him.

It was at that moment, Moses began explaining the whole thing, "I wasn't in my apartment because I was hiding from this piece of filth." he pointed at the now murdered Delsin. "He broke in to try and kidnap you again, but I forced him out and told the girls to call the police to have him arrested one more time. But, there was a riot that happened before he even reached the prison."

Letting out a sigh, Jaden replied, "Yeah, I…I heard that from him." he then motioned to Delsin's corpse.

"Holy shit!" Moses gasped, shocked. "Morrigan did that!?" The boy nodded and so did Morrigan. "I was going to do that to him, but I can see that I was beaten to that." and so he continued. "Moving on…Layla and Rhoda were at the community center. They had some volunteer work to do there. So, you don't need to worry about them. They're safe."

"Thank goodness." said Jaden, with a sigh of relief to know that two of his friends were alright. "I was really worried about them. Also, I'm wondering something. How do you know about these "Darkstalkers" as they're called?" he asked Moses.

And so, Moses revealed his true heritage. "My name is Moses Nagareiji, and I am a vampire hunter." he revealed, showing his uniform. "Or rather, I used to be a vampire hunter, until I decided to retire."

Jaden was in awe at this and at the same time, in fright. "You're a VAMPIRE HUNTER?! NO WAY!" he gasped. "But, what made you decide to retire?"

"I got really sick. It was like a moderate to severe illness." said Moses, admittedly. "That, and I was getting too old for hunting vampires," he said.

This news made Jaden shocked and startled. "Dang, I'm really sorry to hear that." said Jaden, feeling bad for his mentor. "So, you're originally from Japan?"

The man nodded, "Yes, though I myself am American with some Samurai heritage." he revealed. "For years, the Nagareiji clan has hunted vampires and other forces of evil. We have faced off against various species of monsters, using silver-tipped arrowheads and crossbow bolts, and other weapons." he revealed. "Mine was handed down to me by my mentor." He then pulled out something that looked like a sword, but there were numerous lines in it and he pressed something on it that allowed it to turn into a whip. "This is the Nitestrikyr." he explained. "It's a sword whip, for combatting supernatural enemies."

Jaden was in awe at this weapon. "Whoa, so, did you know about Delsin?"

The former vampire hunter nodded, "Yes." Moses revealed to the boy. "Jaden, this evil man, Delsin Mardeux, A.K.A. Murderous Mardeux the serial killer, he kidnapped you when you were just a baby and while you were sleeping no less. And before doing that, he used a silencer on his gun to murder your parents in cold blood."

Jaden clenched his fists in rage to the point they drew blood. And tears welled up in his eyes then he roared in rage, "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as he cried in the night, the cry was so loud it broke the sound barrier.

Morrigan then hugged Jaden, as he sobbed in her arms. "There, there, Jaden. I got ya." she spoke to him in a tender and motherly kind of way.

Moses wished that what he said wasn't true, but sadly it was. And then he knelt down and said, "Jaden, since I'm too old to continue on. I want to pass on what I've learned as a Vampire Hunter to you."

Jaden looked at Moses in surprise at what he had said and asked. "Really?"

"Yes." said Moses, smiling a little. "If I die when you turn 18, I need you to find my long-lost son, Yusuke and give him his inheritance from me, to him."

"Yessir." said Jaden, nodding in confirmation as he wiped his tears again. "And also, when you prove yourself worthy of becoming a Vampire Hunter, only then will you be able to use the Nitestrikyr."

Jaden knew that he could no longer live with Delsin, knowing he was a killer, and both his parents were gone, he never got to know them even before they died. But, he wiped the blood off his hand and got back to his face. "Understood, sir." said Jaden, as he showed determination. "Then, I will do my best to become worthy of becoming a Vampire Hunter, I will find your son and I will lay the beat down on Demitri Maximoff!" he pounded his fist into his palm and cracked his knuckles.

"Good to hear, kiddo." said Moses, as he shook the boy's hand and helped him to his feet and saw Morrigan get off her mid-air pedestal. "Morrigan, you better make yourself scarce so no one finds you and has you thrown in the slammer."

Morrigan thought about that and knew he was right. "Alright." She agreed as she made to leave.

He saw Morrigan leaving and Jaden said, "Wait!" he called out to her, she turned around. "Will I ever see you again, Morrigan?"

The buxom succubus smiled at him. "When I can I'll come to check in on you." Morrigan promised before disappearing into the shadows and flew off into the night sky.

"Well then, let's get outta here." Moses advised as he heard the sounds of police cars getting closer. The two of them begin their trek back to Moses' apartment when they are met up by someone. "Huh, who are you?"

The one who came out was Lucky Luke, "I was with Kelvin and his goons, but I ratted them out to the police before that murder just now." he revealed.

Jaden snarled a little, but then he simmered down. "What?" he asked himself. "You would rat out your own friends?" he wondered.

"THEY WERE NEVER MY FRIENDS!" he ranted back to Jaden. But then he took a few deep breaths and explained himself. "I already explained myself to the police, and then told them what they had planned to do. Kelvin made us think we'd have it be our hideout, but he actually wanted to turn it into a blood-coated area where he could rape pretty girls and get away scott free!" he admitted and was grief ridden. "He also wanted to drug them too."

The duo gasped in fright at this and Moses asked, "Lemme guess, you didn't want any part of it?" to the boy.

Luke nodded, "Yes, sir." he admitted.

"Well at least you admitted how you were tricked and that you didn't want anything to do with it, so I think you'll be alright." Moses explained with concern. "Just be careful with who you hang out with from now on."

"I will, I promise." Luke assured him. He then looked at Jaden, "And Jaden Xiao Long, I'm sorry for being so rough on you." he got on his knees and began begging for forgiveness. "From now on, I want to be your friend, as a way of making amends with you," he said.

This left Jaden surprised, the guy who was once friends with his long time nemesis had switched sides of his own free will. Jaden smiled a little. "Sure thing, Lucky Luke."

He helped Luke up, and then he said, "Please, just call me Luke. My full name is Lucas Anderson." he added. "And from now on, I want to not only be your friend, I also want to become a vampire hunter. I'll do my best to never let you down, Nagareiji-sensei!" He bowed to Moses.

Moses smiled at him, and accepted his offer. "Sure thing, Lucas."

With that Lucas went to take care of talking to the cops. Meanwhile Moses took Jaden away from there.

"I'm just glad you're A-OK, kiddo." said Moses, with a smile, as he hugged Jaden.

Jaden nodded his head. "Yeah, me too." he said to him, agreeing with that notion.

"You and Lucas are gonna have to train your collective butts off, to the point your muscles and joints ache like crazy." said Moses, facing Jaden. "The path of a Vampire Hunter is long, arduous and difficult." he said to him. "There are many trials to pass, hidden dangers, and several risks that may drive you insane or even kill you."

"I accept the risks," said Jaden. "I must not fail, I will become worthy enough to surpass you as a Vampire Hunter!" He was determined to surpass the man who was his mentor.

"Good." Moses replied. "Your training begins in three days."

"Why not tomorrow?" Jaden asked in confusion.

"Because in order for me to officially take you in I need a few days to set up all the legal paperwork." Moses explained in annoyance. "It's actually funny how the government talks about preserving the forest, but kills off more trees to make the paper for their mountains of paperwork."

Jaden and Lucas nodded together, knowing that he was right and so they silently agreed to that. As they went with him, Morrigan began flying through the night sky by herself. As she went back to her abode, she couldn't help but worry about the boy she just met.

"He's a nice boy and in good hands with Moses, but I can't help feeling sorry for him and worry about him." She said as she saw her place getting closer. "Maybe that's my motherly instincts kicking in."

Morrigan landed on her penthouse balcony and went inside to relax.

"I think a nice warm bath will do." She said as she went to her bathroom to run the water. She went in and heated up the water until she saw steam and then mixed in some cold water to make it the perfect temperature. Once it was just right she filled her jacuzzi style tub and even added some bubbles to it. Then she stood up to strip.

She slid her suit off of her well built womanly body as it slid over every curve. Her boobs bounced after being freed from their confines and so did her booty as she pushed the suit down her legs. Once it was off and had pooled on the floor under her Morrigan stepped out of the pile and got into the tub and sat down to relax.

"There we go," said Morrigan with a smile. She got some of her shampoo out and began brushing it through her hair while dipping her body in the warm water. "I hope that Jaden will be alright. He's so cute." she said to herself. "I think I like him already." Then Morrigan relaxed a little.

"Like who already?" said a young female voice, Morrigan looked up and saw a younger Succubus with short lilac hair and crimson red eyes. "Hello there, big sis. I was hoping you'd be back."

Morrigan jerked up, "Lilith, how many times have I told you to knock before entering?!" she barked. This was Lilith Aensland, Morrigan's little sister, who is not so little anymore, she was dressed in only a towel, which made her breasts look a little bit bigger.

"Sorry," said Lilith, with a nervous smile.

"It's okay." Morrigan said as she settled down. "Just please knock next time."

Lilith nodded. "I will, but do you mind if I join you?" she asked.

"I don't mind one bit." said Morrigan.

Lilith then took off her towel and was in total nude, she folded her wings back and joined her sister in the tub. "So, I couldn't help but notice that you were talking about someone, sis." said Lilith, as she told her. "Anything I should know about?"

'Should I tell her?' Morrigan thought to herself. "Well, it's like this." she started off. "I was flying around to occupy my time and then a poor boy was being cornered by this horrible monster in human skin. The man was revealed to have murdered the poor boy's biological parents in cold blood, so I murdered the horrible man as brutally as possible."

"Oh that poor boy." Lilith said in worry. "What's his name?"

And so, Morrigan told her sister who the boy in question was. "His name is Jaden Xiao-Long." she said. "He's a Daywalker, Human father, Vampire mother. But, the man I slew, Delsin Mardeux, took him from his family after murdering them in cold-blood."

"That monster!" Lilith snarled. "I'm glad you got rid of that scumfuck."

"I force-fed him his own still-beating heart, and crushed his head to a bloody paste with my bare fucking hands." said Morrigan. "If that werewolf Jon Talbain were there, and if there was a red blood moon, he would have torn that motherfucker to shreds, and ate his corpse."

Lilith shuddered in fright. "Yite!" she gulped. "You tend to scare me whenever you do that."

"Sorry," said Morrigan. "Anyway, I met up with Old Man Nagareiji, I mean, Moses." she added.

Hearing the name made Lilith perplexed. "Moses? So, that's his name." she then asked, "So, this Jaden boy, when do you plan on seeing him again? I ask because I want to meet him myself."

"It'll take a couple years," said Morrigan. "After he turns 18 you can meet him. And not only that, but he's got a new friend in the form of Lucas Anderson, formerly Lucky Luke, who turned his back on this guy who bullied Jaden before." she relayed to her.

Lilith was a little disappointed that she had to wait until he was 18 years old. "Dang It." she pouted. "But, I guess I'm gonna have to wait until he's older. Not a problem."

Morrigan nodded as the two sisters soaked in the tub together. Lilith had a rubber ducky with her while Morrigan had a book to read that kept her occupied while in the bath.


Elsewhere, in the catacombs of Eastern Europe, we see a different teenage boy who had gone spelunking deep inside the caves of the area he was searching and he noticed that something was glowing.

"Odd," said the young man. He looked to see a technologically-advanced vault oriented structure. He typed in the code that looked to be in some sort of journal that looked to be very old. "Let's see." He input the numbers 5-2-4-6-2-5-7-4-5-0, it was a 10 digit code that had been inscribed on the note. And with luck, the door opened up and it was in perfect condition.

"Whoa…" the youth muttered, gobsmacked in shock, as he saw this.

He then made his way down the staircase and made a right and heard the sound of clicking. He got out his phone and turned the flashlight on and he turned it around and the clicking turned out to be a nest of cockroaches, but he found an alternate route. 'Ugh, I hate cockroaches.' he thought. The youth then shooed the cockroaches away as he kept going the right way to navigate through the area.

He made his way to another door and found a set of keys, one of them unlocked the door and the computer said, |VAULT ROOM TEMPERATURE DROPPING TO NORMAL! IT IS SAFE TO ENTER!| as machine doors opened and showed what looked to be a giant cocoon made of amber and when he got in, he read through the journal again.

The young man then looked at a page on it that showed something. "According to my grandpa Johannes' journal, the Shardbinder woman should be inside this cocoon." he muttered. The boy looked on and marveled at the intricacies of the casing. "Actual amber formed in a cocoon. How granddad perfected this, I'll never know."

He then looked to see a woman with her eyes closed inside the cocoon of amber. It was quite a sight to see the cocoon, but to see the woman inside it with a peaceful look on her sleeping face was a sight that gave a warm feeling inside. 'Wow, she's gorgeous.' he thought to himself.

The woman looked like she had medium length blonde hair that had been darkened with dark brown on the top, her headgear was looking like a set of demon horns. She was also dressed in a corset-like mini-dress, black boots, a black glove and a silver ring around one of the fingers on her right hand. The design of her outfit was Gothic lolita inspired, but later armor parts were added to make her attire look more like something one could fight in. Also in what looked like a treasure box was a glowing blue, purple, magenta and light blue sword.

"This must be the Blue Rose sword that gramps mentioned." the boy said to himself. "And my shitty mom said that this was too crazy to believe in." he said, badmouthing his mother, who had been awful to him. He then realized, "Then…This has got to be Miriam!" he said to himself. It was an exciting moment for him as he had found Miriam at long last and he had to admit that she was so beautiful while sleeping. She looked so nice and peaceful as her smooth facial features looked so perfect on her relaxed face. "Holy cow, she's hot." he said to himself, but then shook his head. "Focus, Julien! You have to wake her up, don't let emotions cloud your judgment!"

And it was at that moment when he walked over to an area that looked like a bedroom and when he arrived there, the boy, now called Julien, walked in and saw that it had cobwebs on it, so he started cleaning it up. "This should be my lodgings while I'm in this cave." he said, as he cleared the cobwebs out of the way. After the cobwebs were cleared he did some dusting until the place was clean and he even found fresh sheets, blankets, and even fresh pillows to use. "Yes. That's better."

He then walked over to the console that showed the time needed to thaw her out. "Ok, lemme see…" he murmured. He examined the instructions of the thawing process and saw that it was going to take six years to completely thaw her out. "Damn, looks like I'm going to have to wait until this works." he groaned in anguish. "If I have to stay inside this cave for that long, I might as well make the best of it."

Julien pressed a few buttons on the console and decided to make a repetitive and diverse grocery list now that he's got the power back on in the complex and a select number of rooms can use such power and so the computer said, |BEGINNING SHARDBINDER THAWING PROCESS, WARNING: MAY TAKE SIX YEARS TO THAW COMPLETELY!| and then the laser began to activate. It shot a beam at the amber that encased Miriam's form and began the slow process of thawing her out.

"Now I wait." Julien declared as he decided to make himself comfortable for the next six years.


SIX LONG YEARS LATER…PRESENT DAY…

Six years have passed since Jaden found out he was half Vampire and we see Julien as a 19 year old young man, he maintained his short hairdo and had begun practicing his alchemy skills as well as magic too. While managing to keep his composure, he began living inside this structure and kept the power supply going. He was dressed in a pair of tactical pants, a gray t-shirt with the Marvel logo on it, wet weather shoes and a Dark Magician hoodie. He then began reading through a graphic novel of Animorphs, the sci-fi series by K.A. Applegate.

He was quite impressed by the way the Animorphs leader Jake fought off Visser Three and his Yeerks, while rescuing his brother, Tom from their grip. "Yeah, you show them Jake!" he said, while taking a sip of his energy drink. Just then, he heard something. *BTTTZZZZZZZZ* a buzzer repeated loudly. "What's that?" he asked.

Just then, the computer chimed in, |SHARDBINDER THAWING PROCESS; COMPLETED!| it said in a female voice. On the monitor in Julien's room, he noticed that the amber cocoon was fully thawed out.

"She's fully thawed? I better get over there!" He got off the bed and rushed over to the cocoon room to greet the one inside of it. The woman stepped out of the amber cocoon. It was still Miriam, she just had longer hair and was still feeling groggy as she tumbled out of the cocoon. Julien caught her to make sure she didn't fall. "I gotcha." said Julien, as he steadied her.

The Shardbinder woman slowly began to open her eyes and moaned in a groggy way. She slowly started to speak. "Mmmm…..Johannes…Is…Is that you?" she asked.

Her vision was a little bit blurry but she refocused her sense of sight, "I'm not Johannes, my name is Julien, Julien Armstrong. Johannes, the alchemist who helped you out before, was my great-great-grandfather." he revealed his last name too.

Miriam gasped, "You're…Johannes' grandson?! My word!" she said in a European accent, sounded British in origin. "What is the year?"

"The exact date is February 17th, 202X." said Julien, explaining everything. "Welcome to the 20th century."

"The 21st Century!? Great Caesar's ghost!" Miriam blurted out, shocked to hear this news. "How long have I been asleep?" she wondered.

Julien then memorized the exact number of time that had passed. "Just about 240 years, 2 months and 17 days to be accurate." he said.

Miriam felt a little dizzy as Julien helped her up. "No wonder I feel so groggy." she said.

"Wake up…I have many things to tell you about what has been going on in the world." Julien said to her, as he was eager to tell her about all the changes in the last hundreds of years and then he pointed out something. "Also, I may have to make some new clothing for you, because I notice that what you have on right now looks a bit too small for you."

"Many thanks." said Miriam with a smile, as she shut her eyes in a cute way, making him blush. And she looked around the room, "This is that hideout Johannes made with help from Anne." she wondered.

"Yes, I'm surprised that granddad was so ingenuitive, same for Anne." Julien said, feeling impressed. They walked around the hallway and then he showed her the room he was staying in. "I made myself at home here after I ran away from home."

Hearing this left Miriam perplexed, "You're….a runaway?" she asked. He nodded and then began to listen to the story he had to tell her. It went on for about 17 minutes and she was shocked, "So, if I recall, you're saying that you left your house due to your parents getting divorced and your 'control freak' mother bribing the judge into giving her full custody of you and leaving your father with nothing?" She was shocked upon hearing this news.

He nodded. "Yes, that's pretty much it." Julien replied. "I couldn't take anymore of her controlling nature and so I ran away to find my dad. But, I haven't had any luck yet though and I hoped to find some clues to his whereabouts here in Europe."

"My God!" Miriam was outraged by his situation. "The most awful person in your life was that mother of yours, Jenna! What a psychopath!" she shook her head. "She's a monster in human skin and deserves to live on the street, not you!" Miriam was comforting to him. "If I was awake at an earlier time then maybe I could have helped." She said as she wished that she could have done something about it.

Julien then said to her, "Don't worry, I'm out of her range." he smiled a little. "Hopefully, we'll think of something." the Armstrong boy added.

"If she so much as lays a finger on you, I'll slice and dice her to ribbons." said Miriam. She realized that she disturbed him a little. "Oh, sorry about that, Julien." she said, apologetically as she was.

"It's alright." said Julien, with a small smile. "Anyway, I also made myself at home here until I can find a way to get her out of my life forever." he then got out something to show Miriam. "Grandpa Johannes always wrote about you in his journal." he showed her the book.

This left the Shardbinder girl astounded by it. "Johannes wrote about me?"

"Yes, he did," said Julien. "He wrote a ton of things about you and your exploits inside of that devilish castle, the Hellhold." he showed her what he had written about her fight with the likes of Gebel, Gremory, the samurai exorcist Zangetsu and Orlock Dracule/O.D. a librarian who was also a vampire. "You even defeated the demon king, Bael, even though grandpa told you to run if you ever encountered him."

"Well sometimes you have to stop running and just do what has to be done." Miriam admitted. "It wasn't easy for me to break my promise to Gebel and defeat Bael, but unless I wanted him to chase me forever it had to be done." she reassured him of that notion.

Julien knew she was right and smiled at her, "Truer words were never said, Miriam."

She smiled back at him and noticed he was staring at her chest, "Thank you. Also….My eyes are up here." she giggled at that and laughed at his embarrassment. Then they both ended up laughing together.


Little did they know, somewhere on the outskirts of Romania, we see a humanoid being with bat wings and a demonic appearance to him. This was Jedah Dohma, an incubus Demon. He once tried to fuse the Makai Realm and Earth into what he called the Majigen, that realm was created primarily with the soul of the demon Ozom and countless others, along with the Dohma Castle. It also contains the Fetus of God, a supernatural being that would descend from it. However, Morrigan, the cat-woman Felicia, the werewolf, Jon Talbain and countless others were successful in defeating Jedah and caused the Majigen to return back to Makai. He had flown about to search for something. "I know that the last time Demitri was here, he made his home above the fields." he said to himself, sounding similar to Beast Wars Megatron and Professor X. "And according to this map, his coffin should be right around…here!" he pointed to the spot to the upper left corner of his eye. He then saw the coffin. "Aha! There it is!"

The incubus zoomed over to said coffin and he saw that someone was approaching, it was a group of people from the local Romanian church who sought to destroy Demitri while he was still inside his coffin. "I'm sure it's this way!" said the priest, as he got his brethren to help too. "The vampire's coffin is right around this area!"

"Wake up easily my lord, I will make sure that they don't vanquish you." Jedah said to Dimitri through his coffin as he got ready to fight.

As the churchmen got the giant cross out and were ready with the hammer to slam it in, Jedah got ready shot a dart out and it broke the hammer in two, prompting the heavy part to hit the churchman on the tip of the foot, "YAAAAIIIII!" he yelled in pain. He hopped up and down on one foot. "Big Ben, that hurts!" he shouted in a Romanian accent.

The priest looked over in the direction, "Who is there!?"

Just then, a voice came, "Your executioner." the priest gasped, and grabbed some rosary beads, silently reciting a passage from the Bible. "And I will not allow you to kill my new ally."

The churchmen were startled by his arrival. "It's the Dark Messiah!" screamed a churchman.

"Jedah Dohma! What are you doing here, you vile demon!?" the priest demanded.

They took aim with their ball and powder muskets and fired at him, only for him to deflect them with his wings. "I came here to wake Demitri up, but you had to complicate things!" he stared at them with irritation. His wings detached and became a saw blade. "Now, I'm going to take my rage out on you." the sawblade his wings transformed into then slashed a man clean in half. The head priest gasped in terror. He tried using a weapon against him but to no avail and he slaughtered every one of them.

Next, there were a few sounds *CRACK-BANG-THUMP* and the coffin burst open, revealing a tall, paleish Caucasian skinned man with slick spiky red hair dressed in a blue aristocratic suit with a long cape that was in the form of bat flaps. This was Dimitri Maximoff, a Vampire lord who was defeated in Makai years ago. "Who dares wake me from my slumber!?" he demanded, sounding like Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z and Elfman Strauss from Fairy Tail.

"I did, Lord Demitri." said Jedah, as he presented himself to the vampire.

He turned to see the incubus, "Jedah Dohma! Why have you awakened me?" he asked, feeling perplexed. "And what are you doing in my home?" he demanded.

"I awoke you because of one thing…" he paused and then the incubus said, "I need your help."

Hearing that, Demitri was startled. "I'm listening," said Dimitri, as he began to hear Jedah's explanation.

And so, they went on about the idea and Jedah and Demitri used their combined powers to reassemble Demitri's castle and give it an overhaul and as luck would have it, someone in a cloak was watching the whole thing. 'Hmm, so Jedah and Demitri helping each other, eh.' he thought to himself.

And as he watched, the castle was back to its original state. "There we go," said Jedah, smiling.

Demitri smiled evilly, "Good as new." he said. "The dark shall be with us always."

"Especially with the new polarized glass for windows." Jedah mentioned. "Now we can taunt vampire hunters during the daylight too."

"Good idea," said Dimitri.

"Thank you." Jedah replied with a smile at being appreciated. "Now, we can forward our plans to take over both the Human world and the Makai Realm."

"Allow me to assist you in that endeavor!" said a male voice, coming into the room.

The vampire and incubus both turned around to see who he was, "Who dares enter the castle!?" Jedah demanded.

"Another one of those blasphemous vampire hunters!?" demanded Demitri, as he was irritated.

Just then, the someone who spoke removed their hood and took their cloak off, "Wrong! I be no vampire hunter!" he corrected them, showing he had an average man who was actually a scientist that bore a striking resemblance to Prof. Rottwood from 'American Dragon: Jake Long' but mixed with Dr. Von Frankenstein and Edward Hyde with a prosthetic jawbone which is why he always has his collar over his mouth. "I am Dr. Viktor Hyde." he introduced himself. "Scientist, creator of monster mutants and fired teacher of an institution in Chicago, Illinois." he introduced himself to the two monsters. "These titles are related.

"Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Hyde." said Dimitri, bowing to him and welcoming him into the castle. "My name is Dimitri Maximoff, lord of the vampires."

"And I am Jedah Dohma, incubus and former servant of the great, Ozom." said Jedah, introducing himself.

"Pleasure to meet you both, Lord Maximoff, Sir Dohma." Dr. Hyde replied, as he bowed before the two Darkstalkers. "I would like to assist you in bringing humanity to its knees!" he chuckled evilly.

Demitri and Jedah looked at each other and were a little confused, "Why would a human betray his own kind?" asked Jedah, as he wanted to know.

"Let's just say I want revenge on those who ridiculed me." he snickered. "Particularly a former student of mine who is the bane of my existence! His name is Jaden Xiao Long and from what I have uncovered recently, he is a hybrid of human and vampire."

Demitri was dumbfounded, "What!? A Daywalker!?"

"In THIS day of age?!" Jedah was surprised.

"Yes." said Dr. Hyde, confirming this. "He exposed me for forcing my old students to do the work I give them forever, and all that because his friend committed suicide." he remembered that sort of thing and then said, "But now is my chance for revenge on him and countless others who ridiculed me and got away with it!" he cackled evilly and soon Jedah and Demitri joined him in this evil laugh.

"Oh, Dr. Hyde, I think this is going to be the start of an evilly wonderful partnership!" Jedah said, agreeing to his terms.

Demitri added, "And in return we shall give you power that you have always dreamt, everlasting life, and amusements that will please even your vile imagination."

Dr. Hyde was a little bewildered by that, but he agreed, "Thank you gentlemen." They all celebrated this new partnership.


Unbeknownst to them, we see a brown haired young woman with DDD cup breasts and perfectly round hips, horns on her head and bat wings on her back, denoting she was a succubus as well. She overheard their entire conversation and she had concern on her face as she bit her lip.

"Oh no, Demitri and Jedah have united with that mad doctor!" she said to herself, sounding like an older and more mature Sango from InuYasha and YashaHime: Princess Half-Demon mixed with Sal from MegaMan NT Warrior. She then flew off into the sky and back to her home country. 'I hope Jaden will be alright if he tangles with those three.' she thought. "I gotta find him, and I gotta hurry!" she then began to zoom off.

And in the night skies of Chicago, we see a grown up Jaden Xiao Long brooding on a vantage point, in this case, a rooftop overlooking the area he lives in. And he had his hair all spiked up like Hiryu from Strider and Jin Kazama from Tekken while still retaining some Kenichi Shirahama vibes. He was now 19 years old and more mature. On his back was the Nitestrikyr weapon, and he also had battle ready motorcycle gear on his body. On the side of his pants were two sets of handguns.

He looked at the sky and said, "I have proven myself to you, just like I promised, Sensei Nagareiji." he reminisced a little. "I swear I will be a great Vampire Hunter, just like you when you were in your prime." he paid his respects to his mentor, due to him passing away in those six years that passed. "I will never let you down, and make sure you rest easy from now on."

He jumped down from the rooftop and landed on his feet without injury, he then darted into the darkness and began fighting against some rogue vampires and he slashed his way through them. The vampires exploded into dust upon being decapitated, bifurcated, and the like.

Jaden came out of the shadows, as the witnesses, a man, his wife and their daughter, saw this happening. "Sorry you had to go through that." he put the Nitestrikyr on his back once again.

"Jordan, did you see that?" said the wife. "He took those monsters down in one fell swoop!"

The man, Jordan, saw that and nodded, "I sure did, Dana." before he looked at his daughter, "Becky, are you okay?" he asked her.

The girl, Becky, nodded her head, "Yeah, mommy, daddy." she said to her parents. "Mister, who are you?"

He then introduced himself, "My name is Jaden Xiao Long, I'm a Daywalker. Half-human and Half-Vampire." Jaden presented himself, making them astonished. "I am also a Vampire Hunter, and I make it my vow that I will rid this world of The Darkness of Evil!" he said with determination as he ran into the night.

And so it begins, an epic battle between the forces of good and evil, with the fate of the Earth, the Makai realm and all reality hanging in the balance. Will evil succeed or will good triumph! Beats me, but I do know one thing, now is the time for a hero to rise!
