Castlevania: ....The not so dark castle?

Disclaimer: I don't own Castlevania. I don't own anything relating to Castlevania other then some Castlevania games.

Summary: When Dracula fails to return after a hundred years, what becomes of the castle?????????????????? This DOES have some guests from other places, but since this focuses on Castlevania, it goes here....

This is a funny idea I had.... If Dracula doesn't wake up, then what happens to the castle? Well...see my take on it...



Prologue: Inheritance....





It's a dark and stormy night, with the violent winds outside the temple constructed for the Black Mass making it so no one could interrupt the ceremony. The men chanted, while the vile creatures lurking nearby were ignorant to the fact that the Black Mass to revive Dracula was almost complete. The 'priest' walked to the coffin, and made the sacrifice of human blood. They waited.........and nothing happened?

"WHAT?????????????? THIS IS QUALITY BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ISN'T HE AWAKENING????????????????????"

"Maybe you need to try again..."

The priest again splashed blood onto the remains of Dracula..... and again, his remains remained remains...

"WHY! WON'T! YOU! AWAKEN!"

The priest had now resorted to jumping on Dracula's remains, either in hopes to shake his spirit awake, or just because he was angry... I don't know about you, but I'm opting for the second one...

"WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The others then grabbed the now crazed priest, and dragged him off.

"I wonder what shall happen now?"



Pretty soon, Castlevania again rose out of the mist, but the lord of the castle had not awakened from his century long slumber.

"It's a poor sight to see....Castlevania in all its glory....and no master of the castle.... What are we to do?"

Then a demon in the guise of a businessman with the exception of a demon's tail appears.

"I know... I have the will of Count Dracula right here..."

"HIS WILL??????????? RENON, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????????????????????"

"Well....even HE can't live forever.... unless he's not killed... wait, let me get back to the matter at hand...Dracula left a will, and it names someone to inherit the castle.."

The priest read the name....

"YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT??????????????????"

"Well, that's what happens when he forgets to revise the will..."

"...But Lisa's been dead for centuries...."

"Read on..."

"'And if Lisa is also deceased or otherwise unable to inherit the castle, this will names...' NO!!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"We don't have a choice...."





The Gaibon wasn't in any mood to do this... The person he had to go see had killed him before.... he was lucky he was brought back to life. The situations that happen when someone forgets one little thing.... in this case, forgetting to revise a will...

"I just hope he doesn't kill me on the spot...."

Gaibon then made his way into the graveyard, and into the crypt he would find the person in. He didn't expect a visitor to the grave....

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gaibon scared an old woman.

"Please listen... I'm not here to hurt you..."

True, it was the first time Gaibon spoke to a human in a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time... But it had to be done.

"STAY BACK!!!!!!!! I'M RELATED TO THE BELMONTS!!!!!!!!!!"

"... This DOES involve Dracula, but it involves a rather sticky situation.... he couldn't be revived.... and since he forgot to revise his will, there's only one person that can inherit the castle...."

The old woman blinked.

"You're kidding..."

"Look, I myself don't want to wake him, but it's either that, or I can't stay in the physical world EVER AGAIN!!!!!"

Gaibon slide open the lid on the stone crypt, revealing a youthful looking man with long white hair, dressed in nobleman's clothes. Gaibon, being rather immature at times when not guided, did a rather stupid thing. He knocked on the man's forehead to wake him.

"Wakie, wakie..."

The man's eyes opened slowly, and he quickly drew his sword, and had it next to Gaibon's neck.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...."

"Now Dracula has sent you to kill me while I sleep????????"

Then the old woman spoke.

"He said he wanted to talk to you..."

The man looked at her, and sniffed the air, apparently getting her scent.

"...Maria????? It appears to have been a long time since we've last seen each other..."

"I know..."

Then the Gaibon, still with the sword next to his neck, and having to stand on his tiptoes to avoid cutting his neck on the sword, spoke.

"Sorry for breaking up a touching moment, but do you mind moving your sword Alucard?"

Alucard then drew back his sword, and got out of the stone coffin. This was the only heir to the castle...Alucard....Dracula's son.

"Now you wanted to talk to me?"

"Well....Dracula couldn't be revived...and his will names only one living person as heir to the castle...you."

Alucard and Maria blinked.

(Camera pans out to outside the crypt.)

Then Alucard does a trademark from 'Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'...

"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

(The camera shakes up and down during the shout, mimicking some anime scenes....)

////////////////////////////////

Yep. Alucard owns the castle and everything in it now... so what's he going to do with it all???????????
