“Hey, are you guys alive?”
*Sparkle-sparkle-sparkle*
*Swish!*
The three stirred awake, sitting up and clearing their vision.Sypha
Where are we?Trevor
How should I know????
Oh! You guys are alive
Surprised, they all looked up to see a petite green haired lady with glasses observing them like a
concerned parent. ???
Gee, you all must’ve gotten hit on the head. You’re lucky we have healing abilities!Alucard
Pardon us, but who are you again?Midori
I’m Midori! My siblings saved you all back there.Sypha
Oh from that pink-haired lady! Well, thank you.Trevor
You did? How?Midori
Uh… Magic? All three
… Midori
I’-it’s jarring, I understand. But please try to stay calm. Sypha
It’s fine. We’ve seen crazier.Midori
Would you mind following me? My siblings are very concerned.Trevor
Siblings plural?Midori
Mhm! This way!She turned and gleefully hopped away towards a door while the three curiously followed. She led them into a white foyer with red carpet and curtains several feet tall. It almost looked like the
inside of a temple. Inside were 6 more kids who resembled Midori but with different colors. One also being male. ???
My oh my, they’re still alive! ???
Ah don’t say it like that Saki! It makes us look weird.???
We literally look like a rainbow when adjacent. It can’t get much weirder than that.???
All of you, any physical pain? Or are you holding up just fine?Alucard
Well this isn’t what I expected.Trevor
Me either!Sypha
Oh! We’re fine, thank you. Would you mind introducing yourselves????
Ah! Good idea. They came closer, looking more grouped up and allowing the different hair and eye colors to
flourish harmoniously.Aka
I’m Aka! Uh, do I need to explain my entire backstory????
Not necessary. Just give your names.Cody
I’m Cody.August
August! Though some people call me a nerd.Aiiro
I’m Aiiro. And maybe because you are a nerd August.Murasaki
No need for hostility you guys! I’m Murasakino March~Alexa
And I’m Alexandra. The oldest and sort of the leader.Trevor
This is a lot of names at once.Cody
Well hopefully the different colors are useful to you -_-
The red one crossed her arms, exuding pride.. Aka
We’re all also 7 years old if you’re wondering. Sypha/Trevor
Seven?!Cody
Maybe DON’T say that so casually Aka.Aka
Fine fine.Alucard
So you all age quickly as well? Fascinating. Murasaki
Am I detecting a kindred spirit? About time! It’s rare to find our kind. How old are you?Alucard
Only about a year.Rainbow
Daaamn… They all quietly exclaimed in unison.Alexa
That’s pretty impressive. Um, anyway… Would you mind explaining what happened before you
three nearly died?Sypha
Oh right! I nearly forgot about that
Trevor
In short, we were all back home acting normal, then it suddenly felt like we fell through the floor. It felt like falling into another dimension.One of the kids snickered.August
Bro went to the backrooms.Trevor
The what?Alexa
Nothing! Please continue.Alucard
After the shock wears off, some lady with bright pink hair appears and taunts us before firing some sort of blast. And surprisingly it even made me knock out. Alexa hummed.Alexa
Bright pink hair? Sounds like Mira. Basically she’s like… Our sworn enemy. Surely you get it.The three groan in agreement.Murasaki
If you wouldn’t mind asking, who do you three fight against?Trevor
Dracula.Rainbow
Huh?!They all yelled dramatically.August
Are we talking like… Vlad the Impaler or Bram Stoker?Cody
You all said you fell through the ground before appearing here? Yeah sounds like you came from your whatever-the-hell-world to ours. Alucard
Matter of fact, that would make the most sense. Trevor
But how is that even possible?! Murasaki
You’ll find A LOT of crazy things are common here. Alexa
So Dracula hm? That would explain it.Alucard
Explain what?Cody
It just so happens someone exactly by that name suddenly appeared here in our world and caused most of our family to just vanish.…The three stood there in shock absorbing her words. After a few moments, the yellow one titled his head,August
You three good…?Trevor
That blood-sucking bastard is back?Alucard
Watch it.The oldest shrugged exasperatedly. Alexa
I guess. The thing is, we have no idea where he is or where our family went. Trevor
Are your family hunters or experts in magic?Alexa
Uh… She hesitated on telling the full truth for fear of scaring the three.Alexa
Would you trust me less if I didn’t want to talk about it?Her Siblings
What?Murasaki
Alexa, we’re very important-Alexa
That’s true but we’re dealing with people who are not familiar with our mythology in the slightest. We don’t need to cause a Frankenstein effect.Rainbow
(sigh)Trevor
Now hold on, why don’t you want to tell us who you are?Alexa
It’s a lot to take in. Just trust me. When you three get more comfortable, we’ll better explain ourselves then. But for now, we could use your assistance in finding this Dracula dude.He facepalmed.Trevor
So we’ll have to trap the castle in place again?Sypha
Or can you guys teleport to him?Aka
We can teleport, but not if we don’t know where we’re going. Like, if we don’t know where someone is, we can’t teleport to them. That’s because the spell involves like… Uh… I don’t know how to explain it. August
Hey! Allow me, the GENIUS, to do so instead.Alexa
(Muttering) Says the one who failed chemistry…August
Shush! Anyway, the way you cast powerful spells involves A LOT of manifestation. And you can’t manifest something if you don't know about it because duh. Trevor
Then how will we track him down and catch him again?Alexa
Let me think… Uh…
The green one interrupted, popping out from behind her older sister.Midori
I’m sorry but did you say “trap the castle in place”?Trevor
Yes. Does that surprise you in some way?The group froze.Aiiro
Doesn’t that sound just lovely.Murasaki
Oh cheer up Aiiro! It wouldn’t be that hard to like… create a forcefield. Aiiro
Yes but it’s inconvenient.Alucard
Ok hold on. You’re saying trapping his castle with a forcefield is “inconvenient” at worst?… Murasaki
Um… maybe? The diva asked with a nervous smile.Sypha
That’s easy for you? You all must be very powerful.August
Eh… It’s probably just a difference in power scale. Alexa
We do have some good news though.Sypha
Oh. And what’s that?Alexa
We do have something that would track down your “Dracula” and a very fast way to get to him. You said his castle can teleport? We have an observatory that can travel at the speed of light.Sypha
Speed of light?Aka
Ok pardon, what century are you all from?Sypha
15th.Rainbow
Ah…Cody
In simple terms, the speed of light is like… Imagine being able to run around the entire planet in less than a minute. It’s that fast. Sypha
Oh! You all have something that can travel that fast?Alexa
Yeah yeah, we’ll get into the specifics later. But first, we need your help with something else before we can embark on this mission
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Whoosh, whoosh.
The 10 of them could feel the power flowing through the air. The room itself is where the kids kept their instruments. Upon arrival, each of them pushed away the piano. Percussion equipment, and various strings to make room. The trio however couldn’t see anything but the milky pink orb in the center of the room. Sypha What is that?Alexa Our sister. Trevor What, another one?!Murasaki There’s 8 of us in total. August Our sister, Shiro, also came face to face with Miss Mira and I guess lost somehow. She usually stays in Yomi, the realm of the dead since her father rules it.Alucard So you all are half-siblings?August No, just her. Alexa The point is, we think you guys could get her out of that thing faster than us. Sypha Really? But there’s more of you and you’re all so powerful.Aiiro Ok fine. Maybe that was just a lie. Alexa We’re curious about your strength and power scale. So I would like to see if you can get her out first before we take any necessary action.Trevor Are you saying you don’t trust us?Alexa No. We wanna see precisely how capable you all are. Not that we have doubts, but we’re still curious. It’ll also assist with us protecting you all better. Alucard A bunch of kids are going to protect us?Murasaki We are the more powerful ones ya know.Trevor Fine, fine. Suppose we could at least have a look.He and the other two went up to the orb.Trevor Any idea what that thing is?Sypha I don’t think this is any “normal” form of imprisonment.Trevor It should be fine. I did save you from a medusa-like cyclops. Alucard ran a gloved hand across some of the orb.Alucard It doesn’t feel like a forcefield.Sypha That’s a relief. Alucard It feels more like a cloud. I’m not sure how that can hide someone. The other reached for his whip.Trevor That should be a relief then…In a swift and sharp motion, he swung the weapon so it wrapped around the orb and pulled. Causing some blue light inside to crack and all the mist to vanish. When their vision cleared, a white haired girl laid on the ground.Shiro Ugh… What the hell just happened?She sat up.Trevor Told ya.Shiro BADABOOOM! Sorry for the delay my friends~Seconds later, she is tackled in a failed but pure-intended hug from her 7 siblings. Rainbow Shiro! Shiro OOHHP!Murasaki Glad to see you’re alright darling!August Uhuh. I almost thought we had to “avenge your death” or something stupid like that.Realizing what was happening through observation, Shiro rolled her eyes rather nonchalantly. Shiro Hey I’m literally immortal, how could I possibly die? August Don’t you “well-actually” me! UGH! You know I hate it when people say that.Sypha Aw, regardless if you are all-powerful creatures, this is quite adorable.Shiro Says you.Sypha Huh? Shiro At least two of you are familiar in the southern hemisphere, I can sense it!Sypha and Trevor blushed.Sypha How could you possibly know that?Shiro Oh cheeky-one, you have no idea how boring and predictable the world is, I like to just add a little spice. AHAHA!Alucard You two are blushing like children.Cody Says the literal child.Rainbow (snickering intensifies)Trevor Didn’t you say you were a 7 year old? That topic isn’t very appropriate for a lady your age.Shiro So my younger ones didn’t elaborate on the supernatural aging? Shocking, you’d think they’d remember something for once! In other words, if I’m too young for the birds and the bees, you’re too young to understand the concept of death youngin’, AHAH! Aka/Midori Daaaaaaaaaaamn!Alucard To answer your question, they did. Shiro Nice nice. Cody Before we move on, will you promise to not do anything stupid? Shiro Yeah! I have myself under control.Alexa Objectively, you do not. Do I really need to explain last time?(Insert flashback that looks like a puddle of water) (Insert magic sound that comes with flashback)
A few months ago, the kids and most of the others are in Yomi with Sora and questioning him about an enemy that had recently attacked earth.
Marin
We think she’s a ghost, and considering this is the only realm she could’ve come from, you can’t
deny the suspicion.
Sora
Oh well, I’ll correct that I had nothing to do with it. You must be delusional if you think this was my fault in any way. We don’t allow any of the ghosts to simply leave.
Augustine
Well thats still-
THUMP THUMP THUMP!
Alexei
OH GOD SHE’S HER OTHER HALF!!
Shiro
HI YE OLD FOOLS! Miss me?! AHAHA!
Charlotte
We told you to bring the shide!
Shiro
Eh? No ya didn’t.
Vasilchovka
Guys, she gets amnesia, remember?
Sora
Oh right. Almost like DID or something.
Shiro
Ah, you sent my goofier half to get a shide. I guess that answers one question.
Augustine
Eh? What’s the other question?
Shiro
Why one of mom’s clones is pushing up daisies in the azalea’s. HAHA!
Shocked and confused, the group went outside the large building only to find a body of a clone dead and bleeding with swords that Shiro typically used sticking out.
Midori Oh… my… (Sound and visual effect again) (Flashback over)Shiro Oh come on! It was just a clone and not a real person!Alucard So your sister has some dangerous other half?Alexa Uhuh. Just wanted to go over that so it doesn't catch anyone off guard. Trevor So we have to worry about her turning into… whatever this is?Alucard We have more in common than I anticipated.Alexa Yep. Pretty much. She’s not a danger or anything, just saying so it doesn’t catch anyone off guard.Shiro Who are these guys? Murasaki (Gasp) Oh right! You three hadn’t told us your names yet. Sypha Ah I guess I simply forgot. Shiro Your brains are like drums! All foreboding and loud! Bada dum dum! Sypha Uh, anyway… I’m Sypha Belnades, I’m a Speaker.August No idea what that means but ok. Alucard Alucard, formerly Adrian Tepes. I’m Dracula’s son.Shiro Believe me, we can tell! You look like some superior version of Twilight!August Ugh, don’t bring that book up! I’d say fanfiction written by 12 year olds is more professional than that garbage.Cody Thank you.Alexa And you?Trevor Trevor Blemont. We Belmonts are experts in slaying night creatures.Midori What’s a…. “Night creature”? Some kinda monster?Trevor Sort of.Alexa Ah so you all fight things every other week too? Nice. Shiro Let's stop delaying haha! Hey blondie, you said you were Dracula’s kid? Alucard And what about it?He deadpanned almost defensively. Shiro Oh relax, I don’t mean to taunt. I think I saw your old man before getting caught. Everyone exclaimed at once.AllWHAT?!Shiro It’s true! I was minding my business in Yomi, telling off my dad as usual. Then suddenly this portal opens up and ooh! Here comes Pinky (Mira). Then here comes Vlad the Impaler too, though he was out cold. Pinky probably got him. She pushes his unconscious body through some portal and then grabs some other lady kicking and screaming through the portal. But the portal didn’t close before I was face first with a magic blast.August I’m interrupting but, you said some other lady…?Shiro She looked like she was wearing a potato sack, eyes like sapphire, and blondie. Or red? She looked kinda like Sypha. …Cody Are they ok…?Trevor/Sypha/Alucard 😱😱😱…Shiro Hey! Love Birds and Edward! Snap out of it!Trevor (Stammers) Let me backtrack a bit. YOU SAW WHAT?! Shiro Mira, Dracula, and some lady who looks like Sypha if she were dressed as a hobo. Why? Ooo lemme guess! The other lady is your girlfriend. Trevor/Sypha (Groans in disgust)Alucard She sounds like my mother!Rainbow WHAT?! 😱
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
After that shocking revelation, the group moved towards the observatory Alexa mentioned on the other side of the manor. Not without some questioning of course. Murasaki So your dad is Dracula and your mother is a human scientist named Lisa?Alucard You are correct.August Now I understand!Trevor Hm, took you long enough.August Shut up Belmont!Alucard What had happened was, the Catholic Church made the assumption she was practicing witch-craft and burnt her at the stake and my father was so blinded by his own pain he started a suicide mission of killing the entire human race. Of course I didn’t let that happen, for my mother’s legacy.Aka So the 15th century makes sense now. That’s actually crazy though. Cody And questionable. Typically burnings were used for the extremes. I thought they were only used if the person was a REALLY big danger. Someone had to have proved she was causing significant harm.Sypha Well the church is really corrupt.Cody/Aka/August Ah! Alexa Honestly, it still kinda is.Trio (Groans)August I’m sorry you had to go through that. Alucard It isn’t your fault kid. I just try to live as she would have wanted. Murasaki And so that’s why you stopped him from trying to murder 8 billion people.August That’s also objectively a stupid thing to do.Murasaki Yeah. Alexandra who walked in front of all 11 of them, stopped at a pair of white double doors, turning to look at them smugly. Alexa We shall discuss our plan now, no?The doors flew open. Stepping inside, they all quickly noticed a gap in the floor from between the doors to the inside. The dome shaped room had a glass-looking ceiling with no lights. Once all inside, the doors shut, making the room nearly pitch black. The kids however, all glew different colors that dimly lit the room. Sypha What is this?Alexa It’s called an Observatory Dome. It’s used for OBSERVING outer space. I think its tracking and speed of light capabilities would allow us to find Spooky-Vampire-dude. The only problem is, it’s out of power. Sypha What does it run on?Alexa Magic.She gestured to what looks like a rusty but firm ball resting in the center of the room. Alexa This thing absorbs all the power.The mage’s eyes lit up as she got an idea.Sypha Maybe this’ll work temporarily… HYA!She fired a blast at it, causing a flash of light to engulf everything and make everyone flinch and gasp. Then, the ball began to gently float and glow red. August OH! Wow you actually restored it! This is perfect timing!She took Sypha by the arm over closer to the center. Alexa Now that there's power in here, we could track down the nearest source of energy. But the machine works better with someone lightweight. Sypha Oh you want me to do it? I'm quite honored.Alexa The activation might feel a bit uncomfortable but you should be alright. Sypha nodded. Sypha Ok. Alexa Basically, just imagine shifting your weight upward and pushing the magic out your fingers. WHOOSH WHOOSH
Swish swish.
Belnades now floated slightly above the ground, being able to feel all the magic flowing through her. Trevor ChristAugust Impressive ain't it? Alucard -.-August What?Sypha What… is this?POOFA few more magical spheres appeared. Each spread out and floating around the room as if they were orbiting Sypha.Alexa It’s like a magical map sorta. It can track things in outer space. Trevor So we’ll be using this to track down Dracula.Alexa Uhuh! First we need a decently sized power source though. Sypha, try firing at one of those planets!The mage complied, a flash of light emerging from her fingers accompanied by a soft exploding sound. When the light subsided, a blue-colored planet came into view.Cody That is… Kepler 452b. Looks like the observatory is detecting a power source from it.Alexa The idea is, we go there and get that power source before getting the hell back here.Alucard You want to travel to a different planet? How could we possibly survive that?Murasaki Magic of course.Cody Am I the only one who finds it odd that a planet similar to Earth has a magic source?August Consider the fact that the gods created the cambrian explosion. They may have some other species living there. Sypha Woah! That can’t be a good idea! Flying off to another planet where someone may be waiting for us?!Alexa We aren’t detecting life from it. So there’s either some magical creature or no one there at all.Alucard Not to mention, we barely have a choice.Midori Yeah, it sounds scary! But we need to power the observatory so we can save our families. Sypha Will we survive?Murasaki Oh yeah! With our protection, we’ll get you all out of there in no time. Also, we have magic so in the worst case scenario we resurrect somebody.Trevor Now hold on for just a moment! You can resurrect people?!Murasaki U-The oldest covered her mouth.Alexa Like I said, let us power the observatory first and we will explain everything. Alucard Why can’t you just tell us now?August Because then it might be a cognito hazard.Midori Please. Our families might also be in danger and we need your help. Hesitant, the trio looked at each other. It would seem like they could read each other’s minds. After exchanging a few looks, they gave in.Trevor Sure, it might be worth a try at least.The rainbow all smiled.Alexa Good. Before we go though, we should give you an upgrade.Trevor What?The eldest’s hands began to glow violet.Alexa Trust me for just a second.WHOOSH SWISH SWISH WOOSH FLASH SWISH SWISH WHOOSHDespite an abundance of a power a human couldn’t normally handle being thrown at him all at once, Trevor remained standing, his arms up as if attempting to block the attack. Confused, he looked down at his hands and was shocked to see them sparkling a white light.Trevor What the hell did you…Alexa Gave you a bit of magic so that you don’t die the second we get there.Sypha You can just do that? That’s… insane.Alucard Shall we be on our way?Alexa Mhm! Sypha, to launch us at the speed of light so that we aren’t travelling for years, imagine a little thingy of magic swirling around and like trapping all of us, then swing while faintly picturing being launched up into the sky. Sypha Ahaha! That’s very specificAlexa AGAIN, I’ll explain later. Sypha (Closing her eyes) Consider it done…The mage followed her instructions. Then, SWING! WHOOSH!All AHHH!Rainbow YAHOOOO!!The next several seconds, all the group could see was them flying out of the observatory dome up through the ceiling and past the exosphere in 2 seconds. Followed by a travel so fast that everything in space around them seemed like flashing images. Soon everything turned white, then…THUMP!All (Groan)They laid there on a rock-like surface, taking in the past several seconds. Once their minds and bodies recovered, they all slowly sat up one by one.Aka Whew…Alucard Is everybody alright?Shiro Ugh… What… happened…?The trio stared with widened eyes at the change of Shiro’s eye and hair color from red/green to blue/white. Sypha Huh? Shiro Who the hell are you?August Ah shoot. Must’ve switched back to her normal self.Aiiro Welp, that’s good news for us. Alexa (Pants) That’s the three helping us Shiro… Do you remember being attacked?Shiro Attacked?! No! The last thing I remember is falling down the stairs.Her sisters let out an “Oh” Murasaki So you fell down the stairs, hit your head, woke up as your other half. Was attacked and captured as your other half.Shiro “Attacked and captured”?! Wait, where is Charlotte?! And my father? Cody Ah, see I told you, you don’t hate him.Shiro ER! No, I do! It’s just hard to rule Yomi with him not around. Aka LAZY!Shiro Shut up!Alexa Basically, (points at the trio) those three are helping us because Mira teamed up with literal Dracula, and our parents and family are missing. So we used the old observatory to locate a power source to recharge it so that we can track them down and ya know. Fix everything!…Shiro That’s a lot to take in! Alexa Oh for fuck's sake… Sypha (Gasp) Look!She pointed atop a mountain where some giant egg was roaming around. Murasaki Ew! We have to fight a giant monster?Trevor First time?Murasaki Hmph. Shiro Well if I had to guess, that thing has a power source. I can tell from the way there’s a very subtle glow. Cody I guess let's not waste any time. Midori Perfect! Let’s goo- OOOOoo!The green one rushed to move up the mountain only to find her breath deteriorating and her energy gone quicker. She kneeled, panting as the others caught up.Alexa Gee, you alright?Midori (Panting) yeah… It’s like some force was pulling me down.Cody That’s gravity. This planet is massively bigger than Earth so it's stronger here.The mage came up to the green one, gently lifting her by the arm.Sypha Let’s take it a bit slower.Midori Boring. But ok. The 10 of them began their venture upward. Quick enough to not waste time, but not so quick that the gravity exhausted them. Luckily, it seemed easier the higher they got. However the mountain-like trail eventually led to a dead end due to there being no way to continue up without climbing.August Oh great, there’s a Fortnite wall. Rainbow (snickers)WHOMP!There was a whoosh-like sound as Trevor drew and spun his whip.Trevor No big deal. It doesn’t look that high.He flung it upward, and it caught around something at the top. Though from the bottom it was impossible to tell what it was.Shiro (Grins)August Shiro…Shiro I could make a very devious joke right now.August WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT-Alexa I'll put tape over your mouth if you do. Shiro Party-pooper.Murasaki How about we just get up there. HYA!The violet one stretched her hair and flung it upwards in the same direction. Murasaki Perfect.Alucard/Trevor/Sypha ...Murasaki What? Impressed? …Cody (Smirks) Sounds like a yes to me. Sypha Um… ok.Trevor put an arm around Sypha’s waist. Trevor Rest of you fly up there or something? Rainbow Yeeeeep.Midori Nah I don’t fly. I just do this.
Swish-sparkle-sparkle
The green one glowed a bright green that matched her hair. Then in mere seconds ran up the cliff like it was easy. She sat at the edge, looking down at the others smugly.Midori I totally forgot about my gravity resistance. Heh… Sypha Ok, you all are teaching me some of this when we are done.Cody, Aka, August, and Aiiro quickly flew up. Aka Ha, I’m tall for once.Shiro followed suit. To the trio’s surprise, Murasaki unwrapped her hair.Murasaki I could get up there myself, but I won’t miss the opportunity for a bit of chivalry. She gestured at Trevor while Sypha and Alucard laughed.Trevor Really? And why are you making me save you when you’re clearly not a damsel.Murasaki You are technically speaking to royalty after all~The violet girl replied in a haughty voice.Murasaki Now, up please. A little begrudging, he put an arm around her waist then pulled them up while her siblings also laughed.Murasaki Hey I don’t judge you.Sypha I think I got something slightly easier for us, UAHH!The mage summoned ice through her hands and shoved them forward. Creating what resembled a staircase.Alucard Convenient.Sypha Uhuh. Come on, let's go!Once on top they moved closer to the center and noticed a giant egg sitting in the center.Aiiro Looks like something might have been feeding off the magic.Sypha That can’t be good.Cody I’m sure it’s fine, magic is transferable after all.Midori Uh guys, where is-Alexa HA!CRACK!!Out of nowhere, the oldest appeared from behind them and landed down on top of the egg. As soon as her feet touched it, a crack and cry from beneath erupted. Startled by the yelp, she hopped off just as quickly. Right as the egg cracked at the bottom and a giant tail flung out from under it. Trevor Whatever that thing is, we clearly woke it up. Alexa But that’s also where the energy is coming from. Aka I think I’ll make the first move… AH!The youngest, a red aura blazing around her like a fire ran up to the creature and swung her arm as hard as she could. The blow hit the thing’s tail which swung up and landed on its head, shattering the egg. August Looks like a thing from Mario. Cody Good news is, we know how to defeat it then. Hit ti’s tail which’ll immediately retract to its head. Once all the pieces of the egg shell were shaken off of it, the thing turned to face the 10 of them. They all stood there in silence with wide-eyes, not wanting to move. At least until one daringly said, Shiro You’re, ugly.Creature RAAAAAHHHHHHCody Good job moron. Now it’s angry.Once the thing was finished screeching, it ran towards the group, forcing them to split away from each other.Aka Damn! How does it run that fast at such intense gravity?! Cody It’s likely the magic from the power source!Alexa Of course it is! Alucard I wonder what that thing is.Sypha Now is not the time for that! Sypha fires a blast at it, only for the fireball to bounce off of it’s skin and fly in a different direction.August We’re cooked.Aiiro Don’t give up yet!AlexaYeah! Belmont, you’re behind it. Hit it’s tail!Trevor Uhuh!He threw his whip around its tail and forced it closer before swinging. The force and magic allows the tail to bounce upward and strike its head again. Seemingly in shock from the blow, the thing immediately fell forward and plummeted into the ground. It didn’t last however, and quickly got back on its feet. Alexa Nice! Just not enough force.Aiiro Allow me. The blue went ran behind it, grabbed its tail, and flung it upward. It flew threw air and struck it’s head again.Creature RAAAaAaAaaaaaa…THUMP POOF! Twinkle twinkle~ The creature collapsed, seemingly dead or severely weakened. From it emerged a bright blue light.Everyone gasped in its glorious welcoming light. Sypha It’s beautifulAlexa Sure is!The kids ran for it and quickly collected it.Murasaki Let's go!Alexa Now we can go back home and I can go over some things.Alucard How exactly are we going to get back in a timely manner?Sypha Yeah, I don’t have the power of the observatory to help me here Murasaki Ah, easy.She looked at Alexa, who nodded before firing a blast at the trio. Before they could react, they were swiftly turned into glowing orbs of light that the kids quickly caught a hold of. Cody (Holding them) Perfect. Well done sis.Murasaki Thank you Alexa Alright, Shiro. Can you launch us with your rainbow powers?Shiro Uhuh. Gimme like 10 seconds.Alexa Keep a good hold of them Cody. Their safety is our responsibility.Cody You got it.Shiro (Her whole body is lit up) Ready?Rainbow Yep!
Swish,
LAUNCH!!Rainbow WOOHOOO!!
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
POOF
The observatory slammed to a halt.Midori Sick! That was a very fun ride! Alucard Unfortunately, there is no time to celebrate. Can’t believe I’ll have to face off my father a second time. The eldest, who now returned to her normal form, created a passageway in the forcefield with the wave of her arm.Alexa We worked hard for this. Shiro Ok uh… Refresh my memory. What is our plan exactly?Trevor Blondie raises a good point.Aiiro We’re going to save Lisa and Dracula from Mira. Your other half was here while we discussed this.Shiro Whatever.First, Alexa hopped through the forcefield onto the planet. The others followed. Aside from a ground made of what looked like a checker-tile, it was vacant. Clearly artificial. Everyone travelled forward till reaching a portal that’d take them underground. Cody So that explains the lack of… anything up here.Alexa Alright.WHOOSH *Sparkle sparkle* Alexa jumped in first, the other 10 right behind her. And right under had the vampire they were looking for. He instantly recognized Alucard, Sypha, and Trevor.Dracula Ah my son, Belmont, and the magical Speaker. It seems we are reunited.Trevor Yeah we’re here to kick your ass a second time.Alucard Will you at least tell us what is going on?The count immediately shifted to confusion at the 8 rainbow haired teenagers behind them.Dracula And who are these children? August Hey! We’re not children!Cody That remark is ironic considering you are Bram Stoker’s child.Trio (we’re referring to all three as just “trio now) What.Cody Nothing.Alexa Doesn’t matter who we are. Shiro With all of us together, you’re cooked. Dracula (Confused) “Cooked”? What? No matter. I am Vlad Tepes and will not be slain by colored-haired children.August We are NOT children!
WHOOSH
The blue one teleported behind him and threw a strong punch that’d normally cause a fracture. Aiiro Peek-a boo!To her surprise, her target didn't even flinch. Aiiro Huh? AHH!BUMP! And she got knocked to the ground instead.Aka Ooh, is that some forcefield or hyper resistant spell?Dracula I’m stronger than that, children.August I SAID WE’RE NOT CHILDREN!Alexa NOT HELPING!Dracula Your age doesn’t matter! I’ll- OWWW!!
WHOOSH
And he is suddenly knocked over by a book with “Dracula” and “Bram Stoker” written in fancy typography on the cover.August Wah, wah wah!Rainbow BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Alucard Their age is really showing -.-Trevor Well they at least provide a good distraction.Sypha Come on! We got this! The trio all ran at the count at once. First Sypha fired a fireball that knocked him back several feet but burnt the book to a crisp.August NOOOOO! Now I have to buy a new copy! 😭The rest of the three took turns attacking the count while the rainbow squad yelled at August for crying over a book.Alexa Seriously?! Those three could die and that's what you’re worried about? August We can resurrect them, but we can’t resurrect my book 😭Cody (Sigh) Oh my freaking god.Over top of August, a massive shadow slowly began to form. He stayed on the ground whining about some stupid book while the others stared up at it.Midori Uh oh.Murasaki Welp, we’re screwed.Aka Just like your mom.Murasaki We have the same mom-Aka Shut up.Cody You guys know there is this wonderful strategy called, “MOVE OUT THE WAY”?!Aka/Murasaki/Midori (Flashes several feet away)August (Sees rapidly growing shadow) Oh damn, AHHHH!THUMPAnd Dracula landed on top of the self-proclaimed bookworm.August OW…Rainbow (Groans)Trio (Panting)AlexaAre you three alright?Trevor What does it look like?Sypha Don’t be so rude- (comedically collapses).Cody I’ll take that as a no.Dracula (Flies up off of August) I told you I am Vlad Tepes. As for you, (points at Alucard), I’ll gladly send you into another year long slumber.Midori I thought they only slept during the day.Rainbow MIDORI!!Alucard But like before I’m not alone this time. Dracula Before I mame you three, I think we’ll start with you.He summoned a series of flames and fired them towards Alexa. For a split second, she had to make the choice of enduring the pain or blowing her cover. However her reaction time didn’t allow a choice at all. Instinctively, she lit up a bright violet, blocking the attack completely. ROARCHING BUZZZZZzzzzzzZZzZZZZZZZZZZ…! POOF!Alexa AUGHH!Officially, she gave in. Figuring they had to come clean about their heritage eventually. Alexa Bad time for me to admit I’m immortal? Sypha You are?! Dracula Can’t say I've met an immortal mage before, but regardless I will stomp you beneath me. He went to fire towards her again but her other siblings teleported in front of her and briefly poofed a forefield that caused the attack to bounce and fly off. Aiiro You’re going through us first.Trevor And us. Alucard It isn’t in your best interest to assume we won’t protect these kids.August For the love of god, we’re not kids!Cody Oh look who's saying “well actually” now.August Dammit. Am I actually stupid? Wait, don’t answer that. Cause I already know the answer.Rainbow (Sigh) AlexaYou three were saying? Sypha He’s right. We won’t let you hurt children. No matter how powerful they seem. Trevor Why would you even hurt children? They’re innocent.Dracula You of all people are telling me there’s any innocence in humanity left? Absolutely laughable. Murasaki Well the thing is… We’re not human.Cody I don’t think that’ll change his mind.Dracula No -.- Cody (Nonchalant) Told ya. Alucard I will ask the eight of you to stay out of this. It’s very dangerous.The Rainbow squad exchanged a few looks before suddenly all grinning.Alexa Well… I think you’ll appreciate our assistance!Sypha What does that mea- AHHH!ZAAAP THUDThe trio all suddenly glew different colors and are forced onto the ground right as a forcefield appears between them and Dracula.Alexa Shiro, you mind using your father’s magic?Shiro Bet. BUZZ HUMMMM BLASSSSSST PEWW
HUMM
POOOF!!
After warming up her attack, Shiro engulfed the count with what looked like bright vibrant rainbows swirling around him till he was no longer visible. After a few moments, Shiro stopped it all with the wave of her hand. To the trio’s surprise, Dracula merely laid there unconscious.Rainbow Yay!Alexa Wow that worked.Shiro Told ya.Alucard What did you all do?Shiro It’s like an exorcism or purification. Basically if someone is corrupted with evil magic or similar things you can expel that from them with a spell. It won’t undo anything like trauma but eh… He’ll at least stop trying to kill people on a whim. Trevor You WHAT?!Sypha Did you really just say all that like it was nothing? Shiro/Alexa Uh…CRACK!All (Gasp)!They stare at the ground as a massive crack forms. Shiro No way… CRACKRainbow AH!Trevor Oh great, falling through more floors…August Heh, imagine if right after he said that we-BOOM!All WAAAAHHHH!!And they all scream as they fall through the ground into darkness. As they all plummeted, the group began to panic as it was completely dark and the gravity kept changing so they were floating around in different directions at high speeds. Alexa was deathly afraid Sypha or Trevor would be thwarted into something that could injure them fatally. As they fell, she called out,Alexa Guys?!Rainbow WOAHHH!Trevor Yeah?!Alexa I have NO IDEA what is happening! I can’t see a damn thing!August Thanks a lot Shiro, your blast was so powerful it destroyed the ground!Shiro Shut up!Sypha UGHH! I think this might help… ROAR Sypha lit a small fire around her hands that created some light. Alexa Good idea!The rest of the rainbow followed suit, and soon the entire cavern was lit up with different colors. It’d be beautiful if they weren’t being thrashed around. Murasaki split, then stretched her hair and grabbed Sypha, Trevor, and Alucard by either the leg or arm and pulled them still.Murasaki Erggh…She groaned, fighting the extremely strong gravity and sweating fiercely. Her siblings quickly caught on, Aiiro and Alexa both reached their arms out, ready to grab onto something or use telekinesis. Alexa Can either of you move?! Come over towards us!Alucard Will you two need some assistance? I can just fly over.Trevor Ugh… I think we got it. Sypha,He reached towards the mage who quickly took his hand. Now securely together, he flung his whip which Aiiro caught and got a firm grip on. Them swinging over and Aiiro’s supernatural strength allowed them to overpower the massive gravity. Shortly, Alucard and Murasaki’s strength allowed him to move over towards the group as well. Now much more in control of themselves, they follow Alexa’s lead and create one massive force field surrounding them all that they all control and with the rainbow’s combined strength (and after a lot of grunts) the entire area lights up multiple colors and there is another thud as they fall towards what seems to be the ground. (Ground since it looked like they were being pulled to the center of the planet). THUDAll Ooh…Trio (Groggily sits up)Trevor Gee you kids are crazy…August Ugh, thanks I guess… (faceplants) Wait a second. (Pops his head up). How the hell is he still intact? He pointed at Dracula who was still knocked out and didn’t even have a tear.Alucard Well he IS Dracula.Cody “I always come back” ahh moment. Aka Yeah!Alexa Ughh, errgg..With shaky limbs, the eldest tried to sit up. The sudden weakness in her protector gave Sypha a surge of urgency and the adrenaline allowed her to hop to her feet and quickly help her up.Sypha You ok? That was pretty crazy whatever you did back there.Alexa We changed the planet's gravity. At the cost of probably destroying more of it. Sypha Seriously, please consider teaching me some of your ways! It’s incredible to watch.Alucard Also consider telling us how that is even possible for a bunch of teenagers to do. Trevor Nobody call me stupid, but what is gravity? Alucard It’s what pulls you to the ground on earth.Alexa It’s a force of nature that basically uh… Cody When something is extremely massive and sphere shaped like a planet, a force pulls everything towards the center.Trevor How or why?!Cody I dunno! The “why” is a mystery. Shiro Did anyone notice our parents are nowhere to be found?Alexa’s eyes widened.Alexa You’re right. Shiro! You’re the only one that saw what happened-Shiro Let me guess, you want me to turn into my other half because she remembers? Cody Precisely. Shiro UGH. For my mother, fine. Saki, you do the thing.Murasaki Got it.The violet one stood up and did a dramatic ballet-like kick to her sister’s head that caused her to collapse. Then,Shiro OOOOOOOOO! LOOK WHO'S BACK? Oh, where are we?Cody Kepler 1606 b. It looks like it at least. It’s got rocky terrain like earth on the inside, is massive, and I saw some drops of water coming out of cracks on the way down. Shiro Oh! And who is that guy?Alucard My father.Shiro Daaamn. What da hell happened to him? Alexa That’s not important! Look, time is of the essence Shiro, we need you to tell us again what you saw. Shiro Fine, fine! Hm. Minding my business in Yomi. Portal opens. Mira drags Lisa and Dracula through a portal I’m knocked out. They all took a moment to process her words.Aka But, why aren’t any of them here?Alexa My best guess is that for whatever reason, Dracula ended up here instead of wherever Mira wanted to send him. We’ll probably just ask him when he wakes up.Murasaki Um so how are we going to get out of here? We’re surrounded by rocks.Aiiro We could just bust through them.Midori There are 12 of us though. How would we safely or efficiently do that without wasting time? The eldest froze and nearly gasped.Alexa I got it! You all turn into those little magical thingies and just orbit me. Midori Huh?She got up and moved towards the unconscious count.Alexa 私は魂を呼び起こし、自分自身と融合します！
*Twinkle twinkle*
HUM
WHOOSH
POP!She flew up and then into the count. For a few moments everything went dark as the fusion took place. Once she managed to take control of the host, she slowly opened her eyes to the shocked faces of the trio and the glowing orbs that are probably her siblings.Alexa Ah! She stood up.Alexa It worked. Alexa Calm down you three, do you want out of here or not.And so, the journey through the crust to the surface began. Which mostly included Alexa firing blasts and destroying things to make passageways.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
WHEWWWW THUDSoon, the group flew out of the dark caves and onto the surface after Alexa blew a considerably large gap. The trio landed first, managing to recover quickly. But Alexa popped out of the count’s body with a thud the second she hit the ground before rolling and stumbling away. Alexa WAHHHH! Oof.Sypha Ah, you really are some kinda miracle worker. Alexa You’re… kinda correct. Alucard My old man is still passed out. He pointed behind them. Alexa Easy… HUMMPOOFSypha Oh… my god. Oh my godDracula MEOWWAlucard You turned him into a cat?Alexa What? It’ll keep him from being threatening till we get things under our control. They headed towards the observatory which was still protected by the forcefield. Alexa created another hole, then they all hopped on. WHOOSH Rainbow SquadAh!In a swift motion, her siblings appeared on the ground.Shiro I take it you were successful…?Alexa Yep! We’re going to head back to Earth now. (Sigh) She moved down and sat against the wall.Alexa I’m so tired…Midori took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes.Midori Yeah…Cody We do need to head back home first. Alexa I'll just put it on auto. Sypha What does that mean?Alexa It’ll drive back to earth itself. She manifested a wand and twirled it. After some sparkling dust came out, it flew to the center of the room and the machine powered up and began to travel. To avoid being flashbanged, Alexa spawned curtains to cover the ceiling from the inside. The others began to settle down.Alexa While we get going, what shall we discuss?Trevor What do you all do besides save the world?Cody Oh GOD, I just realized we’re going to be very behind when we go back to doing schoolwork. Rainbow SquadUgh… August Just what I needed. More work.Shiro Real.Cody You guys think our teacher is ok?Aka He probably has no idea what's going on.Alexa (Yawn), how about this; we get back and look around. Sounds good.Rainbow ZzzAlexa (Floats in the air while lying down) I’ll take that as a yes.Sypha You’re going to fly while asleep?Alexa Yeah sure. My mom taught me how to do it.
“Meow!”
The trio looked and Dracula is now conscious and fully pissed. Dracula MEOW!!Trevor You're quite cute when you’re not trying to kill everyone. Dracula HISSSSS!Grinning, Alucard gently scruffed him.Alucard They’ll probably turn you back later if you behave.Dracula -.-Sypha (Leans against Trevor) I think we should rest for now.Trevor Oh come on, this is a lot to take in. Waking up in a completely different world and travelling to space of all places. Is it not at least shocking to you two?Dracula Meow.Trevor No one asked you.Sypha Try to think positive. They could teach us a lot!Alucard I’m starting to wonder if either of them are chemists.Dracula hissed and swatted him. Sypha Hahaha! Someone is a little grumpy.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
HUMMM
*Twinkle twinkle*
The humming and subtle magic of the observatory continued as Trevor stirred awake. He looked up at the covered ceiling, still seeing some blue lights barely pop out.Trevor We’re still in space? Alucard Yeah.Greeted Alucard, who stood against a wall. Alucard It hasn’t changed much all night.Trevor I thought they said we were moving at the speed of light.Alucard Last night we were going faster than the speed of light if I remember correctly.He sat up and stretched a little.Trevor Where’s Dracula?Dracula ZzzAlucard Sprawled out on the ground sleeping. You should’ve seen it a while ago. He was sprinting around attacking shadows. Trevor (Scoff) So vampires aren’t immune to zoomies.POOF!An indigo light briefly flashed.Alexa Whew! That was quite a nap.The two men exchanged a puzzled look.Trevor I think that was longer than a nap.Alexa I mean, we’re not on Earth so there’s no day or night cycle. So…August (Yawn) You said it.Cody Don’t go there.The rest of the Rainbow squad slowly awoke. Except poor Midori who had her glasses next to her.Alucard You all sleep alright? We are moving extremely fast through space.They talked to each other in soft voices to avoid waking Sypha or Dracula. Cody We’re moving with the observatory so we don’t feel it. Or would someone of your world not know that? Murasaki Actually, where did you guys say you’re from?Alucard Wallachia.August It must really be some alternate world then. Cause last I checked, vampires aren’t real anyway and ain’t nobody has heard of any of you.Shiro Mm, I wouldn’t jump to conclusions in August. It’d be embarrassing if someone as good with history as you made such a big mistake. He stood up.August I’ll prove you wrong then.He nearly raised his voice but caught himself. Then moved over and with a yellow light from his hand, summoned what looked like maybe a control panel? A screen manifested and he typed a few things in.Trevor What is that?Aka Uh… Electricity. Alucard What is that?Cody Ugh. I don’t have the energy to give science courses right now.August (Typing) Surely this can’t be a real place- WHAAAAT??!!!Low and behold, a map of Wallachia and Transylvania appears on the screen.August I’m done. I’m actually done! Due to the yellow one’s incessant yelling, Sypha moved slightly then rubbed her eyes.Sypha Why is someone screaming? She looked at Alexa.Alexa Maybe you wouldn’t hear screaming if SOMEONE would be more considerate of others.Murasaki I think mom raised us a little better than that. August Ugh, fine. I’m sorry. Sypha It’s ok, (yawn) are we still moving?Trevor Shockingly, yes. Why are we moving slower?Alexa I didn't want us to land on earth while we were knocked out. It’s a bumpy ride ya know? Trevor Fair enough.Shiro What year are you from anyway?Sypha 1475Rainbow DAMN!They exclaimed in unison.August You guys are old.Alucard How old, precisely?Cody Mm, 1475? 550 years.Murasaki Oh good job Cody, you made them freak out.Sypha So it's… 2025?Cody Uhuh.Alexa Told ya we have cognito hazards. Oh look, the cat is awake. Dracula (Yawns)Shiro KITTY!Dracula HISS.Aka Clearly he didn’t like that.The eldest got up.Alexa I think it’s time I got us home, no? Her hands glew.
WHOO
*Sparkle sparkle*
The twinkling light from her hands flew to the core and the humming grew louder.HUMM… MMMMM… BOOOMNow moving millions of times faster than the speed of light, they quickly reach Earth. The pressure and winds cause everything to wave back and forth, including the curtains. Through which, most of the Rainbow watched the observatory slow to 2,000 mph and the approaching familiar terrain.Midori Yay! We’re home. Aiiro About time.THUMP.Once the ship landed in place Alexa powered it down, causing the forcefield to vanish and the humming to stop. An entrance slid open as well.Alexa We’ll take a look around to see if we’re missing anything. Fair?Everyone Yes.Alexa What exactly should we start with?Murasaki I say the pink room. Something about it just makes me feel… off…Alexa Fair enough.With the oldest leading the way, they moved to the left of the foyer towards a massive hall with a ceiling just hall where everything was pink with tall large pillars and stained glass windows that shimmered bubblegum and flamingo. Cody Do you remember why mom would make a room like this?Alexa Eh…Murasaki Knowing her, purely aesthetic. I’d bet on it.Rainbow (Hum in agreement)Trevor Gee it’s like a maze in here.Alexa You get used to it-All (Gasp) They reach a door that leads to a big open room with two floors and a chandelier. The room was covered in blood and disorganized. But there were no bodies. Instinctively, Alexa and her siblings moved to look around.Murasaki W-what? 😰Cody I don’t… remember it like this.Midori W-what could have happened…?Alexa I don’t know, I really- (Gasp)She looked down. A violet and white colored fan she immediately recognized as her mother's was laid there in a pool of blood. Timidly, she picked it up. Her siblings began to panic hearing her breathing becoming more shallow. August You’re kidding…Alexa I… I don’t think I am.Finally taking in the weight of what probably happened, all 8 of them all began sobbing or crying as they grieved their lost family. Aka Why is this happening to me? 😭 As they cried and lost control of themselves, the trio and Dracula worryingly stayed quiet, unsure of what to do to console them. If that were even possible. Cat-Dracula loafed asleep, completely unbothered.Trevor I’m not sure I can watch this.Sypha Yeah… That’s quite… She paused, struggling to find an appropriate word.Sypha Rough…Belmont sighed, struggling to watch the 8 of them sob.Trevor This is not what I signed up for. Can’t say I get anything out of watching someone lose their family. Alucard I think I can handle it. I can kinda understand how they are feeling.Sypha Well then you’ll do a better job than us. Looking nonchalant as ever, the half-vampire went over to the oldest.Alucard You must be in a lot of pain, I can feel it.Alexa Obviously. Alucard I’m not too aware of your situation so I can’t imagine what that must feel like. But I do understand.She turned to face him.Alexa And why’s that?She asks, the desolation all over her.Alucard Well, my mother was burnt alive for witchcraft and killing my father in my childhood room.Alexa What?Alucard It’s a lot, but that doesn’t matter. What does matter is you all are definitely strong enough to move past this. Besides, your mother would want you happy above all else, no?She wiped away the tears below her eyes.Alexa I… I guess you’re right.Murasaki I’m going to miss them if the worst has really happened though.Attempting to be reassuring, he patted her bright violet head.Alucard That’s fine.She blushed then giggled. Murasaki Ok ok!Her hair stretched and took a hold of his wrist, gently pulling it away.Aka Maybe we just find and kill Mira to either avenge them or at least find out what happened. Alexa Yeah, that’s a good idea.Midori (Hops up to her feet) Suddenly I am ready to face whatever is next.Rainbow Yay.Trevor (Grins) Much better.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
After that morbid discovery, the group heads back to the foyer. Alexa is first to speak.Trevor I’d say it was about time you all finally told us who you are.Sypha Not to bring back any bad memories but uh, it’d make sense right?Cody Ok so you wanna understand who we’re grieving?Trevor Yes.The eldest sat while floating in the air.Alexa Alright. Where do we start?Midori How about mom? Alexa Alright. She inhaled.Alexa Surely you all have to some extent heard of Zeus and the other Olympians? Classical Greek or Roman mythology. Surprise surprise, he has a kid named Dionysus who is the god of wine. One day, he has a daughter with a titan, otherwise known as a primordial deity so powerful only the king of the gods was able to challenge them and come on top. That produces of course, another super powerful titan who is #1 enemy to Seraphine and Mira and so powerful Zeus offered to abdicate the throne to her. And that female titan is our mother.Trio WHAT?!Cody Yep. That much summarizes it.The trio stand there looking dumbfounded while Dracula simply puffed up and seemingly started yelling something at Alucard.Dracula MEOW MEOW MEOW!Alucard I know.Sypha Can we rewind for a second. You all are Zeus’ grandchildren?!Alexa That’s what I said. Trevor And your mom is a titan?!Alucard Honestly, that explains a lot.Trevor If your mother is a titan how the hell did she die? Is she not indestructible or something?Cody I believe “immortal” is the correct term.August Shut up Cody.Alexa Well… Honestly I don’t know what happened. But a blood-stained room in disarray with no traces of anyone, what else can we assume? Sypha True…Midori Should we briefly explain the rest of our family too? Alexa (Shrugs) Not a terrible idea I suppose.Shiro (shoves Alexa away) I’ll go first! I think it’s worth explaining who my father is. SO, his name is Sora. And I’m a weird species because my mom is a titan and my dad is some unknown species of yokai presu;mably because their dad, Augustine, had his soul split in half and Sora is the other half but he isn’t human at all. He would be the leader of Yomi and that’s why I’m so respected there and oh god they’re probably worried about me. …Trevor I understood none of that. Alexa UGH! You explained that way too fast Shiro! August I think I’ll go next. He pushes her out of the way.August I think we should explain Galateo. He’s pretty important. Are any of you familiar with what a siren is? Magical sea creature with voice so magical it lures you close and then kills you. He is like the first male one born or created in thousands of years. And he’s our uncle. And oh my god, his main abilities are sonic screaming and hypnosis. Shocking, am I right?Trevor Much better.Shiro (Pouts)Midori Uh… who else?Cody Zuro?Midori Uh…August Persephone!Alexa No.Murasaki Aquarius!Shiro Sure.Murasaki So that siren named Galateo they mentioned. He has a daughter named Aquarius. Simply, she has the same magic but ice powers as well! At this point we rule the elements. Aka Right.Sypha A child with ice powers?August Just as chaotic as it sounds.Sypha I like the sound of that!Trevor How about who your parents are next?Rainbow SquadAh..Alexa Like I said, our mother is a titan. Her name is Andromeda and she is 1320 years old this March. Dracula MEOW!Alucard Slow down there. She’s already almost a thousand years old?Sypha In the year… 2025?Cody Indeed.Dracula Meow (Translation: “Damn she’s older than me”)Trevor How about that? Someone way stronger than you exists.Dracula (HISS!)Alexa Anyway, ye. She’s a thousand year old titan. So naturally our dad is also some other super powerful and old deity.Sypha Right.Aka EXCEPT THAT’S COMPLETELY WRONG! WRONG!!August Our dad is a human. Human with magic that is. Apparently it’s from some incident when he was younger. Trevor Your mother could have anyone in the entire world and she chooses a human?Murasaki Yep. I’m pretty sure they really like each other.Dracula Meow…Alexa flew down and landed on her feet. Alexa So, I was thinking… We can turn the vampire back.Cody Do you really think that’s a good idea? Alucard He’s been civil so far, so it’s probably fine.August Aight, bet. POOF!He fired a blast at the startled cat, making yellow clouds surround it. Once they faded away, the count back to vampire form laid on the ground unconscious again.WHIP Everyone looked at Murasaki who caught him with her hair. Murasaki What? Better safe than sorry. Sypha Yeah, I don’t think a patch of hair would protect us anyway. Murasaki (Pouts)POPMidori So, how do we get bro to wake up?August PIZZA!And, August comes and smacks him in the face with a slice of pizza. Shockingly it works.August WAHH!Dracula What the hell was that-He instantly noticed the trio and his predicament.Dracula W-what did you three do?Sypha Hey, this wasn’t our idea.Alexa Helloooooooooo. It was ours.August Yeah, give us some credit.Murasaki Beszél angolul, Bram Stoker?Alucard Yes, he does.Dracula (Exasperated) So let me get this straight. I’m kidnapped by a bunch of rainbow-haired kids.August Sí.Dracula Why?Cody For our safety. You seem to have a reputation of endangering others on a whim.Alexa We will be looking for Mira soon, and if you can behave we’ll turn you back.Dracula Seriously -.-Alexa I am VERY serious. Midori She’s VERY serious. Everyone went quiet in surprise at August randomly roasting the green one. Once that settled, Alucard in his usual monotone way of speaking adds,Alucard More importantly, my mother is alive. Dracula You think I don’t know that?He deadpanned, clearly annoyed.Alexa Good news for you, is that we know where she is.Dracula You do?! Then tell me dammit! I demand to know this instant.August Try asking nicely first?Trevor (Snickers)Sypha (Elbows him)Shiro Before we get into that, listen to me when I say this.Suddenly, a faint blue light swirled around Belmont and Dracula, freezing them in place.Shiro If you two can’t be civil for the next like… 12 hours probably, I’ll personally tie you together and leave you in a room.She let go, causing the light to vanish. The two men paused to consider her words.Dracula I’d rather you kill me this instant.Trevor Me too.Shiro I’m afraid that isn’t an option.Dracula/Trevor (Groan)Sypha Oh come on. You two will be fine (maybe).Shiro Mm, we could always turn you BOTH into cats…Trevor Fine. But I swear if you so much as look at me funny-Shiro YAY! It’s settled. WHIP!Murasaki retracted her hair, causing the vampire to immediately face the plant.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
WHOOSH
BUMP!“Ugh…”
“Gee kid, you alright?”
“Yeah.”
“Who the hell are you two?”
“WTF-”A trio found themselves on some strange green terrain that looked like glass but shiny and glowing. And only two knew each other.“Oh, we spawned with a gladiator?”
“‘Gladiator’? Why does everyone think that?”
“How about you tell us your name first.
“Simon Belmont.”
“Belmont?!” The two exclaimed in unison.
“You are my ancestor!”
“I am?!”
“I would be your descendent and last to ever slay Dracula… Julius Belmont.”
“And I'm Soma Cruz.”They all hummed, being extra sure to remember each other’s names later.Simon
You were the last to slay Dracula? Well, that is very reassuring news. Last thing I remember is restoring his body parts to avenge my family. (I think this is correct?)Soma
Well this is going to get awkward…Julius
You are looking at his reincarnation!Soma
Why would you say that so suddenly?!Simon
Uhuh…The elder reached for his whip.Soma
Hold on a second! I didn’t want to be Dracula.Julius
True. Soma
Battling destiny was an absolute pain -.-Simon
Ah I see now. You are my descendent? What year are you two from?Soma
2025
(A bit of a retcon but it still works)Simon
DAMN! I’m old already.
Julius
You and me both.
Soma
(Exasperated sigh)Simon/Julius
💀Soma
Guess I’ll join in
All three
💀💀💀 Though not understanding, Soma joined in on the two Belmonts lamenting over their old age and legacy. *Sparkle sparkle*Soma
What is that-POOFOut of nowhere, a petite young lady with long white hair tied up in a ponytail appeared in front of them.Simon
Uh-Julius
Who would you be?
*Cartoon Poof sound*
「偉大にして強大なるアクエリアス・マーチの前に立つ者は誰だ？！ん？」She waved what seemed like a magic wand. A long white stick with a big cartoony star at the top. Soma
ソーマ・クルーズだ！お前は誰だ？Aquarius
もう言ったぞ、凡人よ！アクエリアス・マーチ！数千年に一度しか生まれない唯一の男性セイレーンの娘だ～Soma
『男性セイレーン』？Aquarius
その通り！
“Are you three lost here as well?”
A soothing yet commanding voice suddenly called. The sound came from another man, slightly taller than Belmont with white hair and violet eyes and his arms crossed. His appearance suggested “gentle” but his no-nonsense expression and stiff posture said “authoritative.” Julius
Ah, who would you be?“Galateo” Julius
Fancy name.Galateo
Indeed. What are your names?Soma
Again?He gave a “I’m dead serious” look.Soma
Soma Cruz.Julius
Julius Belmont.Simon
Simon Belmont.Galateo
Are you two related? Simon
Apparently he’s my descendant.Galateo
To a certain extent I can tell. Aquarius
Hey, did you have to interrupt? I was starting to look cool! She pouted and crossed her arms while Galateo rolled his eyes. Galateo
I told you not to go around threatening people.Aquarius
I wasn’t! I was simply introducing myself.Galateo
In Japanese again? Aquarius
This one speaks!She pointed at Soma accusingly. Galateo
Whatever. Your mom can deal with it later.Galateo
You three are lost here too?Simon
Yeah. Do you have any idea where we are?Galateo
Sadly none. Do you know how you got here?Soma
Agh! Not at all. Me and this idiot (points at Julius) had just (insert whatever boss fight happens at the end of the game :p) and we woke up here.Simon
I just watched Dracula’s castle collapse.Julius
Sounds about right.Galateo
“Dracula”?Soma
Are you not familiar with him?Galateo
No, not at all.Aquarius
Wait. Is Dracula REAL?!Soma
That’s what I just said!Aquarius
Oh my god. We are so cooked 😱Soma
Do you think that could have been it? Dracula is back on the loose?Galateo
It could explain why we’re imprisoned here. For now, I can introduce you to the others. Julius
Doesn’t sound like a bad idea.Agreeing, the three followed Galateo and Aquarius around a corner. Aquarius really took a moment to examine the bright pink sky with the occasional flashing light. They eventually reached six others. Galateo
Persephone!Persephone
Oh! You two found more people?Aquarius
See? I told you I can be trusted Zuro
Who might you three be?Galateo
Simon, Julius, and Soma. Viola
Oh! Interesting. Are you demigods like our older brother?Soma
Demigods…?Augustine
MeSimon
(Surprised) Well… Maybe I look the part of one but no. I do not wield divine heritage. Julius
It’s certainly comparable to divine thought.Augustine
Really? How so?Julius
We’re Belmonts. We’ve slain Dracula every hundred years.Versil/Viola
Dracula?!Simon
Why is everyone so shocked?Soma
Is he resurrected or what?!JuliusImpossible! I made sure he couldn’t be.Galateo
When did this happen exactly?Julius
1999.Aquarius
Are you old? Despite the rather harsh question, it seemed genuine with the way she innocently tilted her head.Julius
(Winces) Yes…Soma
Maybe I should defeat someone who is immune to aging…Julius
That might be a good idea…Simon
And how old are you, kid?Aquarius
About 14/15.Soma
"About"?Aquarius
I age fast, so I'm technically 5, but I'm mentally and physically 14 or 15.Persephone
Did you at least behave yourself with your father?Galateo
She was fine. Aside from speaking Japanese to strangers again.Soma
“Again”?! Is this just a regular occurrence?Aquarius
I’ve spoken it since the day I was born. No idea how. I just automatically knew it.Persephone
(Groan) Maybe trying mochi while pregnant was a bad idea.Julius
Ah so you two are her parents? Knew it.Aquarius
What gave it away?Julius
Well, maybe because you two, (points at her and Galateo) look like twins. Aquarius
Yay! Soma
Interesting meeting someone else with white hair. I rarely see it.Galateo
The feeling’s mutual.Simon
So how did you all end up here?Augustine
I think it was the middle of the night. My children were asleep and we were all going to bed before we were informed someone dangerous was running around the manor.Aquarius
Yeah! Then it tried to attack me and I got super nervous cause I’ve never fought anyone. Then I see a flying katana and BAM. Their arm is gone. Then their head. Galateo
Anyway, we defeated two enemies only for Mira to appear and flashbang us. Now we’re here.Augustine
I’ve honestly been panicking the entire time.Simon
So you all are just as clueless.They hum in agreement.Soma
Who exactly is “Mira”?Galateo
She’s the daughter of Seraphine. Who no one really knows anything about. But BOTH are our sworn enemies. Julius
Ah that could be it. Dracula and this “Mira” teamed up on us and used their combined power to trap us.Soma
Do you really think he'd be powerful enough to do that?Simon/Julius
Uhuh.Aquarius
I had no idea vampires were so strong! Strange. Galateo
So you three know a lot about Dracula? We could use your assistance in defeating him later. Soma
Of course.Galateo
Good. For now, maybe we should rest then find a way out.
