I - A Battle from the Past
(Richter Belmont finally made his way to Dracula’s throne room. Inside, the Lord of Darkness himself is sitting idly on his throne with a glass of blood in his hand. The arrival of the vampire hunter seems not so surprising to a monster who fought several battles in the past against those who seek his demise, wherein the bloodline of Belmonts became a legend.)
Richter: Die Monster, you don't belong in this world.
Dracula: It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh.
I was called here by humans, who wish to pay me tribute.
Richter: Tribute? You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves!
Dracula: Perhaps the same can be said of all religion.
Richter: Your words are as empty as your soul. Mankind ill needs a savior such as you.
Dracula: What is a man?
A miserable little pile of secrets!
But enough talk, have at you!
(Bloodlines final battle starts. After exchanging blows with Dracula, Richter starts to lose his strength. Young Maria Renard enters in to lend her power to her brother-in-law.)
Maria: Richter! I give you my strength!
(Maria’s power began to enter Richter’s body, which give the vampire hunter an invigorating strength to continue. The battle begins anew, Dracula is overpowered by the Belmont’s prowess and the Vampire Killer’s holy power.)
Dracula: Grant me… my power!
(Dracula transforms into a more diabolical monster, but in the end, the power of good overcomes that of evil.)
Dracula: No! It can’t be! Ahhhhhhhhhhh…!
(After a vicious battle, the Lord of Darkness is once again sent to his eternal slumber. Yet another Belmont brought peace to Wallachia and to the rest of the world.)
II - Dracula’s Confidant
(Alucard makes his way to the Castle’s Entrance. Along the way he meet the Grim Reaper who was one of his father’s loyal comrade.)
Death: Ah, Alucard.
What is your business here?
Alucard: I have come to put and end to this.
Death: Still befriending mortals.
I'll not ask you to return to our side. But I demand you cease your attack.
Alucard: I will not.
Death: You shall regret those words.
Alucard: We will meet again.
(Death removes all Alucard’s armaments and vanishes away.)
III - A Vampire Huntress
(Alucard explores Castlevania deeper until he meet an unlikely guest in such perilous place. The presence of a human caught his attention as he came across the clock tower in Marble Gallery.)
Maria: Wait a moment, you seem human and yet, what do you here?
Alucard: I've come to destroy this castle.
Maria: Then we have the same purpose. I'll trust you for now.
I'm Maria, who are you?
Alucard:……….
Alucard.
Maria: Not the talkative type I can see.
Well perhaps we will meet again. If you live that long. Fare well.
IV.A - Greedy Old Friend
(Alucard visits an old friend in the castle’s Long Library.)
Alucard: Its been a long time old one.
Librarian: Oh! Its you master Alucard.
What do you need?
Alucard: I need your help.
Librarian: Young master.
I cannot help one that apposes the master.
Alucard: You won't go unrewarded.
Librarian: Really?
In that case, just tell me what you need.
(Alucard draws closer to check his inventory.)
Librarian: What can I do for you?
Alucard: I'm interested in this.
(Alucard wants to buy the Jewel of Open relic, which unlocks magically sealed doors.)
Librarian: Is this alright?
Alucard: Hmmm… I suppose so.
Librarian: He he… Thank you.
Fare well for now.
IV.B - Greedy Old Friend
(If Alucard cancels his purchase or sell.)
Alucard: No forget it.
Librarian: I see, well in that case.
V - Demon Castle’s Incarnations
(As Alucard makes his way to the castle’s Royal Chapel, he meet Maria once again.)
Maria: So we met again Alucard.
Alucard: It seems so.
Maria: As friendly as ever I see.
Its strange. This castle is different then I remember it.
Alucard: …………..
This castle is a creature of chaos. It may take many incarnations.
Maria: I can't trust my memories huh?
Oh well I'll do my best. Good luck.
VI - In Search of a Belmont
(As Alucard fights the Hippogryph in Royal Chapel, Maria is watching him from afar. After the battle, she approaches him.)
Maria: Impressive, you’re very strong.
Alucard: ……………
What is it you want? You didn't come here to tell me that.
Maria: Your right.
Do you know that name Richter Belmont?
Alucard: Of the Belmont clan? Of course but...
Maria: He disappeared about a year ago. And I'm sure he's here.
If you see him, please let me know.
Alucard: As you wish my lady.
Maria: Thank you. So you do know how to be a gentleman.
VII.A - New Lord of the Castle (A)
(Alucard enters the arena in Colosseum when suddenly...)
Richter: Hahahahaha!
Alucard: Who are you!?
Richter: Open Hell’s gate! Come forth my servants!
Alucard: The scent of your blood… your a Belmont!
Richter: Crush this flea who invades my castle!
VII.B - New Lord of the Castle (B)
Richter: Hahahahaha!
Alucard: Who are you?
Richter: Welcome to my castle.
Alucard: The scent of your blood… your a Belmont!
Richter: Enough small talk.
Come forth my servants.
Hahahaha!
(Richter vanishes as the fight in the arena begins. After defeating the Werewolf and Minotaurus, Alucard wonders about the Belmont he had just met.)
Alucard: I'm certain that was a Belmont. So he says he is the lord of this castle…
VIII.A - Haunted Past
(In the Underground Caverns, Alucard take a rest in a corrupted coffin which sucks the horrendous memory of those who are unaware of its dark power. In the Nightmare, Alucard finds himself in a familiar scene which he never dreamed of seeing again.)
Alucard: !!
Mother!!
Fake Lisa: That voice! Alucard, its you!
Alucard: I'm coming Mother! I'll save you!!
Fake Lisa: No Alucard! Don't come here!
Alucard: But Mother!
Fake Lisa: Its alright! If my death can save others, I'd gladly surrender my life.
Alucard: Mother! No…!
Please! No…!
Fake Lisa: Yes Alucard! Watch me die, and remember always my last words to you…
Alucard: Yes Mother…
Fake Lisa: You must despise humans. They are to be your prey.
Alucard: What?!…
Fake Lisa: Better for them to die than to let them compound their sins. Begin by slaying that one, over there.
Alucard: No… it wasn't like this…
Fake Lisa: What's wrong? Alucard?
Alucard: My mother never said such a thing…
Fake Lisa: What do you mean?! Kill them and bring them happiness!
Alucard: No… You’re not my mother! What kind of demon are you?!
(The spell is broken. The demon who controls Alucard’s dream reveals her true form.)
Succubus: Hehehahahaha…
You broke free of my spell.
I like that.
Alucard: Demon, death is too good for you!
Succubus: Come here little boy and show me what you've got.
(Enraged by the desecration of his mother’s memory, Alucard fights Succubus with avenging heart. Finally, his revenge bears fruit as the lewd demon falls down on her knees.)
Succubus: Darkling! I smell your blood.
You’re a vampire…? Could it be…?
Alucard: ……….
That strength, that beauty… Your the son of Lord Dracula.
Alucard: Death in the dream world will set your soul wondering for eternity, Demon.
Succubus: Wait, I beg of you! Ahhhhhhhh!
VIII.B - Haunted Past
(If Alucard was defeated.)
Succubus: Now, you'll be my own personal slave.
Hehahahaha.
IX - Inconvenient Truth
(Once again Alucard meet Maria in the Royal Chapel.)
Maria: So, did you find Richter?
Alucard: I don't know if he's the one you’re looking for, but I found a Belmont…
Maria: Really?
So he is here!
Alucard: But the one I saw was the enemy. He was the lord of this castle…
Maria: That can’t be true!
You’re wrong!
I.. I must go now.
X.A - A Hidden Enemy (A)
(Alucard manages to unlock a hidden room below the clock tower in Marble Gallery. He delve deeper inside until he enters the bottommost room.)
Maria: Alucard?
Alucard: That voice? Maria?
Maria: I'm sorry. You were right. He has joined forces with the enemy…
Alucard: So it was a Belmont after all…
Maria: But some one must be controlling him…
Whatever we do we can't harm Richter.
Alucard: But he must be stopped.
Maria: I know.
Well… here. Take these with you.
Alucard: What are these?
Maria: If you wear these you can see beyond evil illusions.
Alucard: Thank you.
T'is best then if you pray for the soul of your friend.
X.B - A Hidden Enemy (B)
Maria: Alucard?
Alucard: That voice? Maria?
Maria: I'm sorry. You were right. He has joined forces with the enemy…
Alucard: So it was a Belmont after all…
Maria: But some one must be controlling him…
Whatever we do we can't harm Richter.
Alucard: But he must be stopped.
Maria: I know... here, take these glasses with you.
Alucard: What are these?
Maria: If you wear these you can see beyond evil illusions.
Alucard: Thank you.
T'is best then if you pray for the soul of your friend.
Maria: I thought you might be the one… But I guess I was wrong.
Alucard you are the only one I can count on.
Please save Richter.
Alucard: I'll do my best.
XI.A - Showdown with a Belmont (Bad Ending A)
(If Alucard fights Richter without acquiring the Holy Glasses.)
Richter: I've been waiting for you.
Alucard: So it is you… But why is a Belmont planning the resurrection of Count Dracula.
Richter: Count Dracula rises but once every century, and my role is over.
If I could resurrect him, then the battle would last for eternity!
(The inevitable battle finally begins.)
Richter: Magnificent!
But now feel my unbridle wrath.
(Richter concentrates and unleashes his holy power. The battle starts anew, which proves to be a tough fight for both of them. After a vicious battle between two lionhearted warriors, Alucard somehow manages to overcome the new lord of the castle.)
Alucard: Its over… Belmont.
Richter: So the war between humans and vampires finally ends here…
Alucard: …………
Richter: What need of the shepherd when the wolves have all gone…
My time in this world has come to an end…
(Richter died. A huge light from above sucks in and obliterates Castlevania. Outside, Alucard stands on a floating debris on the lake while watching the remains of the castle. )
Alucard: Mankind continues to fight, but it is a desperate fight to stay alive.
I suppose he chose a life of warfare since that was the only way that he knew.
Like you Father, he chose a path of destruction…
Farewell land of my birth. Never again will these eyes gaze upon your beauty.
XI.B - Showdown with a Belmont (Bad Ending B)
(If Alucard acquired the Holy Glasses, but never wear them in his fight against Richter.)
Richter: I've been waiting for you.
Alucard: Answer me! Why is a Belmont planning the resurrection of Count Dracula.
Richter: Count Dracula rises but once every century, and my role is over.
If I could resurrect him, then the battle would last for eternity!
(The inevitable battle finally begins.)
Richter: Magnificent!
But now feel my unbridle wrath.
(Richter concentrates and unleashes his holy power. The battle starts anew which proves to be a tough fight for both of them. After a vicious battle between two lionhearted warriors, Alucard somehow manages to overcome the new lord of the castle.)
Alucard: Its over… Belmont.
Richter: So the war between humans and vampires finally ends here…
Alucard: …………
Richter: What need of the shepherd when the wolves have all gone…
My time in this world has come to an end…
(Richter died. A huge light from above sucks in and obliterates Castlevania. Outside, Maria stands on a floating debris on the river while watching the remains of the castle. When suddenly…)
Alucard: So you made it.
Maria: Alucard!
How's Richter?
Alucard: I'm sorry...
Maria: I see…
Thank you for stopping him…
Do you suppose that this too was Fate?
Alucard: ………….
So your journey is over as well then?
Maria: No, not until I learn what caused Richter's madness.
Alucard: I understand…
Well then. May the gods guard you along the way. Farewell.
Maria: You as well Alucard. Good-bye.
XI.C - Showdown with a Belmont (Good Ending Path)
(If Alucard wears the Holy Glasses in battle and defeated Shaft.)
Richter: I've been waiting for you.
Alucard: Answer me! Why is a Belmont planning the resurrection of Count Dracula.
Richter: Count Dracula rises but once every century, and my role is over.
If I could resurrect him, then the battle would last for eternity!
Alucard: ……………..
If those are your true feelings, then so be it.
(The inevitable battle finally begins. With the power of the Holy Glasses, Alucard can see the true enemy behind Richter’s madness. Thus, he keeps evading his holy whip while attacking the one controlling the vampire hunter. After a vicious battle between two lionhearted warriors, Alucard finally breaks Shaft’s evil illusion.)
Shaft: You’ve defeated me. But all is not yet lost.
The resurrection of Count Dracula is at hand! Hehahaha!
(Shaft teleports himself. Outside, the purple night skies suddenly looms as a new castle unfolds before them. Another demon castle, an inverted one that mirrors the original Castlevania. However, the same evil power covers the whole place and the presence of the Lord of Darkness invites death to unwary adventurers. Meanwhile, Richter gradually regains his old self.)
Richter: No… what have I done…
(Maria suddenly arrives in the throne room.)
Maria: Thank you Alucard, for saving Richter.
Richter: Alucard?!
The same Alucard who fought alongside with my ancestor Trevor Belmont?… That was over 300 years ago!
Alucard: No time for small talk. Is the person who controlled you in that castle over there?
Richter: Yes, I think so…
(Alucard turns to Maria.)
Alucard: Maria, take Richter and leave here. I’ll finish this.
Maria: Alright…
Good luck!
(Alucard leaves and head into the inverted castle above.)
