*collapses forward so that he is leaning on Blackheart as he slowly turns to ash* Br....br....brother

I am sorry. I cannot leave your crimes unpunished.


*Alucard drops a rose at his feet and bows*

*A* I am sorry it had to come to this.

*Shakily takes the Heart Family Book from inside his coat and places it in Blackheart's hooves as he further deteriorates* I am proud.....to have called you brother..*a single tear falls as he finishes turning to ashes*

Brother.... I wish I could have forgiven you...
*he falls to his knees and cries*

*A* I am sorry lord Blackheart. I did not wish to hurt you.
*B* It is not your fault Alucard. You fought for honor.

*awkwardly pats Balckheart's shoulder and gives him a hug*

I... I just want to go home.

*Leo gives Blackheart a pleading look, clearly wishing to accompany him*

Very well. Let us go home.

Thank you Alucard. You fought well.

*A* It is my honor to serve you.

Lord blackheart, Crimson's legions have either been killed, freed or deanimated, except for that one behind you.

He is to come with me. I thank you for your assistance Giggs. You will be rewarded.

*bows* But of course lord Blackheart

I thank you as well brother. I am glad you were successful. Thank you to you to Van Helsing.

*completly coated in vampire ash* Are you sure there aren't any more? I was just warming up! I lost count around 560.

We are victorious. It seems that my trust was not misplaced. Perhaps under better circumstances we can work together again.

Perhaps under worse circumstances i could put a piece of ceder into that chest of yours....I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's one of those things you never quite get over.

Its alright. You spent many long years of your kind hating my race. It is only natural to have some pent up aggression against us. As I said. I am happy you were willing to put that aside and fight alongside the vampires.

I have to go now, I sense miss stone has need of me.

Good luck. Id hate to lose such a strong ally.

*offers alucard a sword* I propose we settle this like gentlecolts.

*Takes the sword and bows. After he rises he holds up his sword against Crimson*

Very well.

I am the son of the former Southern Bloodlord. Lord Dracula. He was one of the primals. The very first to be turned by Blackheart.

*parries a blow and kicks alucard down a flight of stairs*

*Lands at the bottom step and recovers quickly dashing right back up. He strikes Crimsons blade several times and knocks the blade out of his grasp*

You are not a bad duelist. Im glad this will be interesting. Its been far too long since last I fought.

*grabs the blade of a fallen gargoyle and drives it into alucard's shoulder* You truly live up to your noble ancestry.

*the blade dissolves when it touches his blood and the wound quickly reforms*

Thank you. I had truly hoped for a good challenge. And so far I am not disappointed.

*twists alucard's arm driving his own sword through his chest*

*Leans forward and throws Crimson onto a gargoyle*

*takes the gargoyle's horn and rams it into alucard's arm*

*Strikes him in the jaw and knocks him on his back and holds the sword up to his neck*

*arcs his back and kicks alucard away before getting up and reclaiming his sword*

*Takes a rotten old wooden stake out from beneath his cloak*

This one was from your tree. Its just for you.

*as alucard goes to stab Crimson the stakes shatters revealing a thick metal plate beneath his tuxedo* Always plan ahead friend. *punches alucard across the face*

*Grabs the metal plate and rips it off and begins bludgeoning him over the head with it*

*grabs a fallen organ pipe and parries before using it to trip one of alucard's nearby allies into him and impaling them both into the floor*

*Crimson looks down and sees a stake in his chest*

You.... you thought Id only bring one? I came prepared. Prepared to end your bucking life.

Urgh! *cough* not quite deep enough, *kneels* But what do I have left to fight for? My beautiful home is in shambles. My only source of joy is destroyed. My legions have fallen. You will find my brother in the cellar. I concede the battle. *holds up his hooves in a gesture of surrender*

Brother. It didn't have to be like this. It could have been different. Had you not listened to me this would not have had to happen. But I am afraid after what you did to Theria. I have no choice.

*Pushes the stake all the way in*

*bows to crimson who continues to play the organ* Go away southerner, or you will face my might.

Ell... E aint ere for you. Es ere for the boss man. But If you're lookin for a real magic battle. Ill oblige.

I am archmage of the north! You know not the extent of your folly.

Yeah. So what. I was the plague of the entire world. One of the strongest mages in the world. But this'll be fun.

*a small flame appears at the end of braggi's staff* This will be many things, but it will certainly not be fun for you *proceeds to breath a plume of flame at him*

*The flames are put out by a wave of water*

You may be arch mage up here. But that don't mean anything.

*the flame explodes into a searing doorway through which a small army of fire elementals walk* The life sap of Yggdrasil is at my beck and call! Surrender or be destroyed!

*walks up to Braggi and breaths on him. The foul stench of his breath causes him to snap out of his mind controlled state*

*the gateway and elementals disappear as Braggi sits down lost and confused. Crimson begins to play a different melody to ensnare Bogbeard's mind*

Oh. So you got a fancy piano. Thats it? Songs nice I spose but it aint gonna do much.

*channels his vampiric power and rage into the song, which becomes a rapid intoxicating hypnotizing melody, several vampires turn on their comrades where they stand*

*Blasts the organ with a bolt of lighting and destroys several of the pipes*

You dilsgusting beast, you have marred my one escape from this hell my life has become! For that I should love to see you suffer, but at the time I don't have time for that luxury. *rips all the blood out of bogbeard's body with a single gesture*

You'll pay for what you've done you bloodstained bastard.

Good evening Daywalker.

Shame about your organ. A battle such as this would have deserved the perfect music to accompany it.

A shame but not in the way you think. To me that organ was a release, A bridge between this shameful reality and what I once had.

Once a whiny little rich boy. Always a whiny little rich boy.

*Throws alucard across the room with a wave of his hoof* Banter all you will. Soon, you will find me an opponent worthy of your respect.
