Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
XV - A Magical Barrier
(In the Throne Room’s entrance.)
Jonathan: What the? I can see the way ahead but I can't move forward!
Charlotte: Hold on a minute...
This is the way to the throne, but it's spatially segregated.
Jonathan: And that means...?
Charlotte: Simply put, there's something like an invisible wall here. Brauner said he had separated Dracula from the castle. This is what he was talking about.
Jonathan: So, long story short, we can't move from here.
Charlotte: Exactly. Let's find another route.
XVI - Delving the Past
(At Wind/Eric’s room.)
Jonathan: Say, Eric, there's something I wanna ask you.
Eric: Sure. What is it?
Jonathan: Did my father know the Vampire Killer would consume his life when he used it?
Eric: No. We only learned the truth after Dracula was defeated. We found out using magic after noticing John took so ling to recover.
Jonathan: I see...
Charlotte: Jonathan? Why did you ask that?
Jonathan: Grandfather was already dead by the time I was born. I was wandering grandfather gave him the whip knowing the truth about it.
Charlotte: Hm. I wonder...
Eric: Have no worries. Your grandfather was exceptionally strong, but kind.
Charlotte: That's good to hear, right, Jonathan?
Jonathan: I suppose...
XVII - Exorcising the Priest
(At Vincent’s shop)
Jonathan: Huh? Vincent's not here?
(Vincent enter the room.)
Vincent: Um... Um... Um...
Charlotte: What's wrong? Something bothering you?
Vincent: There was an attack... A biting.
Jonathan: Huh?
Vincent: A vampire bit someone!
Charlotte: What? Who?
Vincent: M-M-ME!
Charlotte: What?!
Jonathan: Seriously?!
Vincent: Wh-Wh-What'll I do?! Do something! Do something, PLEASE!
Charlotte: J-Just calm down! You've still got time before you turn into a vampire.
Vincent: !! Y-Y-Yeah... That's what they say. Purification spells are effective in the early stages. I beg of you! Do something for me! Get that purification spell!
Jonathan: Charlotte, can you do something?
Charlotte: I don't know. I'll just have to try the magic I already possess.
(Charlotte cast the Sanctuary spell to purify him.)
Vincent: (ROARS) Fantastic! You two really are incredible!
Charlotte: Except it was just me who did it.
Vincent: Now I can get back to business! You have my eternal gratitude!
Jonathan: So how about a freebie as a token of gratitude?
Vincent: Absolutely not! That has nothing to do with this! A man has to earn a living!
Jonathan: ...
Charlotte: He really takes this seriously.
XVIII - Purifying the Twins
(In the dining hall of Master‘s Keep.)
Jonathan: !!
Stella: We tire of waiting for you. Are you ready to die yet?
Jonathan: Hold it! You two are being tricked by Brauner!
Loretta: What a pathetic joke. I have no time to waste listening to the words of a despicable human.
Charlotte: Nothing we say will matter. They're completely under Brauner's control. Still, I may be able to do something now. Jonathan! Help me out here!
Jonathan: Leave it to me!
Stella: Well, for what you have done, we'll play as hard as you like! Let's go Loretta!
Loretta: Yes, Stella!
(A battle takes place.)
XVIII. A - Bad Ending
(The twins were defeated.)
Jonathan: Forgive me, Eric.
(Brauner shows up from a floating painting.)
Brauner: P-Please! Don't hurt my daughters! I beg of you!
Jonathan: Why are you trying to stop me?
Charlotte: We know the truth. You aren't really related to each other.
Brauner: Family isn't just about blood relations! We are joined together by our very souls! Enough! We shall flee the castle!
Jonathan: What?!
Brauner: I can't endanger my daughters any further! Destroying this castle... That's what both of you want, right? Farewell...
(Brauner and the twins leave via paintings.)
Jonathan: Hey wait!
Charlotte: The castle's crumbling! We have to run!
Jonathan: Damn you, Brauner!
(Outside the destroyed castle’s premises.)
Jonathan: Damn it! In the end, that monster Brauner escaped.
Charlotte: Still, we stopped Dracula's revival, so that's good enough, don't you think?
Jonathan: You're concerned how I feel? Well, I guess you are right.
Charlotte: After all, I do feel a little responsible for you so... Oh by the way! Where's Vincent? You think he escaped the castle? Oops. I knew we forgot something!
(Eric shows up.)
Eric: Have no fear. He's just fine.
Charlotte: Eric! Is that true? Thank goodness! I'm sorry I wasn't able to keep my promise to you...
Eric: It's alright. Now that Dracula's Castle is gone, I'll soon vanish. I have one last request though. My daughters...
(Eric is slowly vanishing.)
Jonathan: Eric!
(Eric is disappears.)
Jonathan: ... He disappeared.
Charlotte: I wonder what he was trying to ask us at the end.
Jonathan: Beats me. But look, we have to track down Brauner now.
Charlotte: You're right. Along with those other two.
Jonathan: Alright, let's go, Charlotte.
Charlotte: Right.
XVIII. B - Saving the Twins
(Jonathan tries to keep the sisters busy while Charlotte is invoking the Sanctuary spell. The sisters were eventually purified.)
Jonathan: Is that it?
Charlotte: The spell was perfect. Now let's see if it was effective.
Stella: ...
Loretta: ...
Stella: I... !!
Loretta, are you alright?
Loretta: ...
S-Stella...
Jonathan: The vampire's control seems to be fading. It's a success!
Charlotte: Well, of course. "No problem", as you would say.
Loretta: We...
What have we been doing?
Stella: ...
The heir to the Vampire Killer. Jonathan Morris, correct? I apologize for all that we have put you through.
Jonathan: Huh? Oh sure. N-No problem.
Stella: And Miss Charlotte, thank you so much for setting us free.
Charlotte: Sure thing. The curse may be lifted, but you should still take it easy.
Stella: No, I don't think so. Loretta, I think we should stand up.
Loretta: Stella, are you alright? After what we've been through?
Stella: I know. But there's a job that we must do now.
Loretta: But...
Stella: Remember your dignity! We'll have time to mourn what happened when it's all over.
Loretta: ...
Stella: I'm sorry you had to see that. Once more, our family shares the fate of the Morris family. We are Lecardes, after all. I am Stella. And this is my younger sister...
Loretta: Loretta.
Jonathan: And we are...
Stella: We already know. Anyway, we must hurry. We must defeat
Brauner. The piece he's making now is meant to destroy the world!
Jonathan: What?
Loretta: He said it was almost complete. It's in the studio painting.
Charlotte: Where's the studio painting?
Stella: It's in the inner room.
Loretta: But even for us, entering the picture is impossible.
Stella: There is one option, however.
Jonathan: What is it?
Stella: The studio painting is sealed by four paintings surrounding it.
Charlotte: Meaning we need to break the seal to enter the painting.
Jonathan: I see. you'll help us right?
Loretta: W-Well...
Charlotte: It's no use. I'm amazed they can even talk like this after being under such a powerful curse. They can't move.
Stella: That's true, but that's not all.
Loretta: The door to the inner room can only be opened by either Brauner or ourselves.
Jonathan: So, you'll stay here and open the door for us. Sure, no problem.
Stella: One more thing. It's about the Vampire Killer.
Loretta: We can perform a ritual to unlock the power of the whip. Unfortunately...
Jonathan: I know, I know. Using it will consume my soul, right?
Stella: Please don't forget that. You must use it wisely. If you're prepared, then just tell us.
Charlotte: Listen, about your father...
Stella: None of that! Once this is all over, then you can tell us about him.
Loretta: Father...
Before our own eyes...!
Stella: Loretta!
Loretta: I... I understand.
Stella: Let's all do what destiny had intended for us...
Jonathan: Right. No problem.
(The twins opened the hidden door to the gallery.)
XIX - The Last Belmont to Use the Vampire Killer
(In the dining hall of Master’s Keep.)
Stella: Are you prepared to unlock the power of the Vampire Killer?
Stella: When you're ready, you can ask us at any time.
Jonathan: Yes, I am.
Stella: You will have to face this challenge alone. Are you sure about this?
Jonathan: No problem!
Stella: I understand. Loretta, begin preparations.
Loretta: Right away, Stella.
Stella: Miss Charlotte, please stand back.
Charlotte: Right.
(Charlotte leaves the dining hall. The test is intended for Jonathan alone.)
Loretta: All right, then. I shall now incarnate the last memory of the Belmonts inhabiting the whip.
Stella: Fight the memory and defeat it to make the whip recognize you as its rightful owner. Once you do that, You'll be able to trigger the whip's true power.
Jonathan: I see. No problem. Let me have it.
Stella: Ready, Loretta?
Loretta: Yes, Stella.
(Jonathan found himself in a strange room and a shadow of a man appears in front of him. The mystery man is Richter Belmont, the one who fought together with Maria Reinard and Alucard against Dracula centuries ago. Then, a showdown between two vampire hunters begins.)
XIX. A - No Match Against a Belmont
(Jonathan was defeated.)
Stella: Sorry, it was a little tougher than expected, wasn't it?
Jonathan: Yeah... I guess so.
Loretta: Don't worry. There will be other opportunities.
Charlotte: Indeed. The whip is important, but for us, there are other things that have even greater importance.
Loretta: Plus there may be some items that can give you upper hand.
Stella: We're sure the time will come when you'll be able to wield the true power of the whip. Just be patient and remain focused.
Jonathan: You're right.
(If Jonathan talk to the sisters again after the lose.)
Stella: Another attempt, I see. Loretta, are you ready?
Loretta: Yes, Stella.
(If Jonathan lose the battle again.)
Charlotte: It seems fate was not on our side this time.
Stella: There's no reason to wary. We'll always be here to help.
Loretta: Come back again anytime.
XIX.B - A Worthy Heir of the Vampire Killer
(Jonathan win over the whips memory.)
Charlotte: Ah, you've returned.
Stella: You seem to be in one piece.
Charlotte: Well, how did it go? How's the Vampire Killer?
Jonathan: Hey, no problem. It's power is pretty scary though. Looks like the legends about it weren't lying.
Loretta: But, um...
Jonathan: I know. Don't overuse it, right? Well, I'll try my best.
Charlotte: I'll be with you so relax. You'll be fine.
XX - A Father’s Relief
(At Wind/ Eric’s place.)
Jonathan: Eric! We lifted the curse from your daughters!
Charlotte: Thanks to my magical genius.
Eric: You were in time?! I don't believe it. It's a miracle!
Jonathan: They said they won't ask about you until this is all over.
Eric: That's good. If they knew what I've become, it would only upset them.
XX.A - Unlocking the Vampire Killer
(If Jonathan wasn’t been able to unlock the Vampire Killer yet.)
Eric: Now you can unlock the true power of the Vampire Killer.
Charlotte: That's what they said.
Jonathan: I'll give it a try if I feel like it.
Eric: Well, then. Now that you know how John Felt, perhaps that will be enough.
XX.B - Vampire Killer Unlocked
(If Jonathan already unlocked the Vampire Killer.)
Eric: Hm? You already unlocked the Vampire Killer?
Jonathan: Yep.
Eric: If you understand how your father felt, then it's best not to use the whip after this battle ends.
Jonathan: Well, I'll do what I can. I prefer not to die young.
XXI - Purifying a Priest
(If Vincent was not yet been purified from vampire’s curse.)
Vincent: Umm, excuse me...
Jonathan: What is it?
Vincent: A little bird told me that you two had lifted the vampire's curse, so... If it's true, can you cure me?
Jonathan: Oh! (I forgot.)
Charlotte: R-Right. It's a piece of cake for a genius such as myself.
Vincent: P-Please! I beg of you!
XXII - A Priest’s Wishful Bid
(At Vincent’s shop.)
Vincent: Ready to face the castle's lord? Do your best, Master Jonathan. Miss Charlotte.
Jonathan: Sure, no problem
Charlotte: Nothing's impossible for me.
XXIII - Reaffirming a Promise
(At Wind/Eric’s place.)
Eric: All that is left now is Brauner.
Jonathan: I haven't forgotten my promise to you. I swear by it.
Charlotte: And I'll be there with him.
Eric: Right, I believe you. Still, don't do anything foolish.
Jonathan: No problem.
XXIV - Defeating the Castle’s New Lord
(Jonathan and Charlotte enter Brauner’s studio painting.)
Brauner: Stella, Loretta. I told you not to come here.
Jonathan: Hey! Hey! Who are you talking to? They're busy following orders!
Brauner? You! You two! What have you done to my daughters?
Charlotte: Sadly for you, they've regained their senses. Thanks to my magic.
Brauner: How can this be?! How could you two understand? Those two are the reincarnations of my dead daughters!
Jonathan: I don't care! being a family means being connected by heart. Ties of blood and soul is insignificant. When I learned why my father did what he did, I understood. You used a curse to manipulate your "dear daughters"! Now THAT'S sad!
(Brauner breaks his cane in fury.)
Brauner: And now I must suffer the loss of my daughters to humanity again. I'll show you how that feels. And then I'll make those girls my daughters once more!
Jonathan: Now THAT'S a problem. Sorry, can't let you do that.
Brauner: Behold, the power of my painting!
(A battle begins.)
(Brauner was defeated and on his knees.)
Brauner: Damn you, humans... You selfishly start wars and despoil the earth. Perhaps justice wasn't on my side but I will never admit that it was on yours.
Jonathan: Fine either way. After all, "justice" is just a matter of perspective. The fact is, you're just a coward who couldn't face the truth. You couldn't accept your fate, so you just abandoned humanity to get what you wanted.
Brauner: I just... I just wanted to protect my family.
(Death suddenly shows up above the room and finishes off Brauner with a single slash of his scythe.)
Death: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
(Brauner screams with his last breath.)
Jonathan: !!
Death: Well done! Now the interloper is no more!
Jonathan: What?
Death: The studio painting was cutting off the throne needed to revive Lord Dracula. A clever plan. Alas, now my lord can be revived! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
(Death leaves the room.)
(Jonathan and Charlotte enter the painting of the Throne Room.)
Charlotte: I sense terribly powerful magic up ahead.
Jonathan: Meaning Dracula's that way, restoring the castle's power?
Charlotte: Without a doubt. This is what Death was after.
Jonathan: Come on, we can't just sit around and let this happen. Let's go Charlotte!
Charlotte: Hold it! Our enemy is a legendary monster! This won't be easy.
Jonathan: You're right. Maybe we should check our supplies first.
XXV - Eric’s Final Advice
(At Wind/Eric’s place.)
Eric: This power! Has Dracula been revived?!
Jonathan: Afraid so.
Charlotte: Brauner was sealing Dracula away, so when we destroyed him...
Eric: Strange. Even Brauner's seals would be easily broken by Dracula's power, and yet--
Charlotte: !!
Perhaps Dracula still hasn't revived completely!
Eric: Perhaps.
Jonathan: Either way, our only choice is to defeat him. And I'd prefer the easiest way to do that.
Charlotte: Alright, let's go.
Eric: This is your final battle. Don't do anything foolish and get killed, you hear?
Jonathan: ... Let's go!
XXVI - Worrywart Vincent
(At Vincent’s shop.)
Vincent: Master Jonathan, is it true that Dracula has been revived?
Jonathan: Yeah, it's true.
Vincent: Oh. Oh... What'll we do?
Charlotte: Calm down. It'll be alright. We'll handle it somehow.
Jonathan: Yeah, no problem.
XXVII - The Final Boss: Showdown with Dracula
(Inside Dracula’s Throne Room.)
Jonathan: Dracula...
Charlotte: I can't believe this power. No wonder he's called the Lord of darkness!
Dracula: ...
Jonathan: Oh, so you're ignoring me? Turn and face me!
(Jonathan rushes to strike Dracula, but Death suddenly appears fending his attack.)
Death: You will not touch Lord Dracula! This time, let's fight for real!
(Dracula throws his wine glass to the floor.)
Dracula: Enough with this sideshow. Why don't we show him our combined power?
Charlotte: ?!
A Death and Dracula joint attack? That was never mentioned in any book I've read!
Jonathan: Well, there's two of us. So I guess that makes it even. No problem, bring it on!
(The battle begins. After exchanging blows after blows, Death was finally defeated.)
Death: My power! Use my power!!
Dracula: Soul Steal!
(Dracula absorbed Death’s remaining power and morphed into a huge bat-winged demon. The fight continues until Dracula was finally defeated and on his knees.)
Jonathan: Too bad pal. As long as were here, you won't be revived.
Charlotte: Still, that was an impressive display of impromptu teamwork.
Dracula: Say what you will. But I can see it... One day, my power will be fully revived!
Jonathan: Fully or not, you're never, ever going to win.
Dracula: I look forward to seeing who will have the last laugh.
(Dracula slowly vanishes into ashes as the sunlight lit the room that passes through a window near the throne’s seat.)
XXVIII - Good Ending
(Jonathan and Charlotte escape as the castle crumbles. Far outside the castle’s ruins, everyone gather.)
Jonathan: It's all over.
Charlotte: Yeah...
Stella: We sure caused a lot of trouble.
Loretta: How can we make up for it?
Stella: As the older sister, I accept full responsibility. With that, I must ask a favor of you two.
Loretta: No, you can't take all the blame!
Stella: Loretta, be silent, please.
Jonathan: Look, it's all settled now. If we keep quiet, there's no problem, right?
Charlotte: I... I suppose...
Stella: I can't allow that.
(Eric appears in front of them.)
Eric: Well done, both of you.
Jonathan: Eric...
Well, I did make a promise.
Loretta: Father?! Is it truly you?
Eric: Yes, my dear.
Stella: ...
Eric: Forgive me, Stella, you seem to have worried the most in all this.
Stella: No, father. It's an older sister's duty to.
Eric: Yes, but still... Don't overdo your role, okay?
Stella: ...
Loretta: ...
Eric: I'm truly glad I could see you both at the moment of my death. Live for all you're worth. And you, Jonathan. Charlotte... I truly am grateful.
(Eric is slowly vanishing.)
Loretta: Father!
Stella: Don't go!
(Eric vanished while Stella falls to her knees.)
Stella: Father! FATHER!!!
Jonathan: He passed on...
Charlotte: Thank you, Eric... For everything.
Loretta: Stella, forgive me. You tried so hard for my sake.
Stella: (SOBS)
Loretta: I'm going to become stronger. I'll try hard so that you'll never have to worry again. You need not always work so hard.
Jonathan: That's right. Eric said that himself, didn't he? Whatever you do, don't overdo it.
Charlotte: Jonathan, for you, trying harder might be a good thing.
Jonathan: Ha-ha-ha! Sure, no problem! Why can't you learn to just let things be? I mean, a kid like you...
Charlotte: !!
(Charlotte was annoyed again for calling her a “kid”.)
Loretta: Excuse me... You two...
Stella: Forgive me. All of you. I can see I've caused you all a lot of worry. But I'm alright now.
Jonathan: ...
Charlotte: Oh no, I forgot!
Jonathan: What?
Charlotte: About Vincent.
Jonathan: Uh-oh. Quick, we gotta find him! Charlotte!
Charlotte: Right!
(Jonathan and Charlotte leave the sisters to look for Vincent.)
Stella: Loretta, let's help them.
Loretta: Yes, Stella.
(Stella and Loretta follow their lead.)
(Vincent appears at the place where they gathered earlier.)
XVIII.A - I’m Over Here!
(If Vincent was purified from the vampire’s curse.)
Vincent: Huh? Wait a second! Hey! I'm over here!
XVIII.B - The Cursed One
(If Vincent was not yet purified from the vampire’s curse.)
Vincent: I want to be purified too!
