Dracula's Castle, Hoai Forest...

A monster rushes inside the throne room. It was Akuji, the leader of the ghouls. He rushes in with full armor on,

"Master! The Newborn approaches! Along with the greatest of the Lycans!" The armored ghoul panicked.

"WHAT??" Dracula shouted with anger.

Then, three harpies rushed in, "Master Dracula! Lilith has fallen! The Newborn killed her and the Lycans betrayed us!"

The ground shook as Dracula shouted, "IMPOSSIBLE!!"

One of the harpies approached slowly, "They are fast approaching Master-"

Before it could finish, Dracula tore through the harpy's chest and pulled out its heart and threw it to the side, "She thinks she can kill me? Ha! She has to suffer first!"

He then called out to all the monsters in the castle, "DESTROY THAT NEWBORN!!"

He then became a swarm of bats and flew to the highest point of the castle. Suddenly, the moon was totally covered with darkness and thunder reigned.

An echoing laughter can be heard all through the night...

------------------------------------------------------

Outside the Castle...

Out from the forest ran 5 Lycans, one of them ridden by a young vampire. Behind them lay the corpses of slain monsters. They ran for the castle gates while killing anything on their way. They have to get in that castle.

Sophia jumps off of Cornelius and shouts, "BRING ME VLADIMIR!!" as she tears through the monsters in her way. Her holy blade now drenched in blood.

Harpies were swarming on the air, enemy Lycans were growling like the rabid dogs they are, and dead men were rising from the ground. Scary, but Sophia had to stay strong. She pushed through the monsters on her way and made her way to the gate where it was being blocked by a bull-headed monster, a Minotaur.

The Minotaur roars at her, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" it then grabs its giant steel club and smashes it at Sophia. Sophia was able to catch it, though she could not believe it.

The Minotaur tries to overpower her strength while Sophia tries to push it back. Her struggle to push the Minotaur's strength back made her eyes glow in rage. She pushes the club back but was hit at the side when the Minotaur swung the club. It pushed her to a wall which crumbles from the force of the impact. She hurriedly gets up and picks up her sword and ran after the gargantuan monster. The Minotaur smashes the club at Sophia but she was able to dodge just on time then proceeds to slice the Minotaur's flesh which made it let go of the club and roar in pain. She then stabs the Minotaur on the right side of its chest and jumps at it grabbing its two horns and smashing the bull's face on the floor which cracks due to the force. The Minotaur now couldn't get up.

Sophia took her blade from the gargantuan beast's chest and pushed the gates open to see an army of rotting corpses that had maggots on their eyes and roaches on their mouths, gross.

"What the hell is that??" Sophia asked.

The corpses simultaneously said, "I am the Plague. Your worst nightmare."

The corpses started attacking her. She hacks a few of them but was overwhelmed. She was surrounded, stuck in a middle of a horde of corpses. She tries to fight back but was immediately apprehended by the corpses. The man of a hundred plagues, Beelzebub, approaches her,

"Do you really think you can destroy Lord Dracula young one?" He arrogantly asks.

"Yes! And I will do whatever it takes!" She struggles.
