The scene changed to Ethan and Max who got up on whag seemed to be the castle's basement after being smashed all the way down there by Lady Dimitrescu.

They were currently looking for an exit.

Max: This place is hectic.
Ethan: Screw this place we're finding a way out of here.
Max: She's really angry that we killed her daughters.
Ethan: So what? They attacked first, plus they're bloodthirsty bitches.
Max: Fair point, let's just find an escape route before Lady Dimitrescu finds us.

The scene changed to Execumancer who flew all the way to Mother Miranda's shrine to search for answers about the ceremony.

???: Alright, just as planned ask her about the ceremony and don't make a fuss about it.
Execumancer: Yeah yeah, I got ya.

He saw Mother Miranda who was minding her own business.

Execumancer: Mother Miranda.

Miranda looked at Execumancer.

Miranda: It's you, did you locate Ethan Winters and Max.
Execumancer: Yeah, Castle Dimitrescu and I alerted the Lady and her daughters about before you called her.
Miranda: And how do you know more about my phone call to Alcina?

Execumancer was a bit silent.

Execumancer: I wanted to help Lady Dimitrescu and-
Miranda: Enough, I know what your here for.

Execumancer smirked.

Execumancer: Well the jig is up, I wanna know about this ceremony thing.
Miranda: That is only classified information for me and my council.
Execumancer: But aren't we partners and didn't we form and alliance between the Messiah's armada and your council?
Miranda: You speak of armada but where is it and plus this Messiah you mention isn't here, I would bet he's too afraid to show himself.

Then suddenly the Messiah appeared in Execumancer's head.

???: How dare she mock my excellence! Once I get out of this prison I'll execute her in front of this whole village. Execumancer, let me talk with her... Now...

Execumancer nodded.

Execumancer: I've got a message from the Messiah, he wants to talk to you.
Miranda: Oh really now, bring him in.

Execumancer opened a portal as it showed the Messiah's eye door.

???: You said I was afraid to show myself Miranda, well here I am.
Miranda: Your minion wishes to know about the ceremony, would you please scold him about it?
???: Why would I scold him about it since I actually told him to go and ask you about it and since you won't tell him, tell me.

Miranda smirked.

Miranda: And who do you think you are to know about the ceremony.

The Messiah laughed as he found this amusing.

???: You think you know me? I am the Messiah of Corruption, bringer of doom and I will unite every dimension as one with the powers of Corruption. Execumancer forged the alliance between both our sides and we will all cooperate. Like how Execumancer follows your orders to look after 2 pathetic human waste, you will share your secrets with us. After all it's only fair since we did decided to give you powers of Corruption to mix it with your cadou experiments.

Miranda knew he spoke truth.

Miranda: Very well, basically we kidnapped the child of Ethan Winters, she has an all powerful essence... An essence that is strong enough to bring my daughter back from the dead.

Execumancer was intrigued.

Execumancer: And what are you gonna do with the kid?
Miranda: I will sacrifice the child known as Rosemary Winters to the altar and exchange her life for my own daughter's....

Execumancer was awestruck for the first time in his life.

Messiah: I see, so it's a ritual I may presume.
???: Indeed, if the ritual is proven successful and my daughter brought back from the dead thanks to your generous donation of lutum, we will then aid you on your goal to unite all the Multiverses as 1.
???: Good.
Miranda: But right now I ask you of 1 favour... Don't let Ethan Winters and Max reach me before the ceremony.
???: We will do our best, close the portal and resume the mission Execumancer.

Execumancer closed the portal and gave Miranda 1 last glance before leaving.

Execumancer's mind: Did you hear what she said?
???: Yes, she's going to sacrifice an infant's life just so she could bring her own child from beyond the grave.
Execumancer's mind: I never thought I'd say this but it's just wrong and I mean really wrong.
???: What do you mean?
Execumancer's mind: I may hate any son of a bitch out there and in every galaxies, but I have a soft spot for kids. Sure they'll eventually grow up to be pieces of shit, but they're still lives.
???: You do have a point.

The Messiah cackled.

???: It's my first time seeing you this worried Execumancer.
Execumancer's mind: Oh shut up, I gotta get back to Heisenberg's factory. The guy is probably waiting for me.

The scene changed back to Max and Ethan who found a lever that connected prison cell barred door.

Max: An exit, let's get out of here.

Ethan then put his hand on the lever and tried to pull it up but suddenly his hand got sliced as it still held onto the handle.

Ethan screamed in pain, the 2 turned to see Lady Dimitrescu who had her hand turned into that similar to Freddy Krueger's.

Lady D: Like I'd let you get away.

They tried to run past but she grabbed the duo and tossed them across the basement as they impacted the ground on another room.

Lady D: You'll be sliced into ribbons before you ever see that child again.

She began approaching them as they got up.

Lady D: I'll show you what it means to insult the name of House Dimitrescu.
Max: Quick let's go.

They then ran towards another direction to avoid the tall lady.

Max: I'll stall her, you go open the door.
Ethan: Ok, but be careful.

Max stopped and turned around.

Max: Hey blood-sucking bitch, come get me!
Lady D: How dare you?!

She tried to attack Max but she avoided the vampire and ran away.

Ethan then pulled his severed hand back and pulled the lever as the cell door was slowly opening.

Ethan: Max, hurry!

Max then dodged another swing from Dimitrescu and ran to Ethan as the door fully opened.

They went inside it but Lady Dimitrescu followed.

They ran away from her and went downstairs that lead to a door.

Ethan pulled out a key he found and unlocked it.

They went inside to see a fountain statue so big that it was fit for the castle.

They went to it and Ethan noticed it's head was a bit out of place and placed it in a normal manner and then the statue went up with them like an elevator.

They could hear Lady Dimitrescu laughing behind the door.

Lady D: Running will get you nowhere!

The statue went up.

Max looked at Ethan's hand.

Max: What are we gonna do with your hand?

Ethan didn't respond and pulled out the medic bottle and poured it around his severed arm and placed his hand again as it quickly regenerated.

Max: Wow, what kind of a human are you?
Ethan: Well I have the mold, basically a power that helps regenrate lost limbs.

They made it up.

Ethan: Fuck this castle.
Max: Let's find something that's useful in killing her and get the hell out of here.

Ethan turned to her.

Ethan: While we were inside the castle I checked one of the books and it had info about Dimitrescu, a knife that was poisonous enough can kill her with just a stab, it's in the castle's chapel, let's go find it.

They then head for the chapel.

The scene changed to Execumancer who made it back Heisenberg's factory.

Execumancer: Heisenberg! You in here?

He then began exploring the factory to find out his roommate till his powers come back.

He then saw this sight in a room he appeared.

Execumancer: What in the.... Actual fuck...?
???: Look at all those corpses, it's like-

He was interrupted.

???2: I see you tresspassed in one of my restricted areas, my friend.

Execumancer turned to see Heisenberg who smirked as he smoked a cigar.

Execumancer: I was looking for you Heisenberg and I got this for an answer.

Heisenberg stomped his cigar.

Heisenberg: Normally I would kill someone and use their body for my little project but I'll make you an exception. What do you need me for?
Execumancer: I talked with Miranda about the-
Heisenberg: The ceremony, of course. That bitch plans on using that kid for her selfish needs, what else is new.
Execumancer: Well you're the first person I'm telling this to you, it's wrong to sacrifice a fucking baby for some bitch ass daughter.

Heisenberg clapped his hands.

Heisenberg: Finally! Someone else that gets it!
Execumancer: I guess you and I are really alike.
Heisenberg: We sure are, anyways let me take you to your room. Let me give you a warm welcome.
Execumancer: Thanks.

Execumancer smirked as he had something in mind.

Execumancer's mind: Hey, you still here?
???: Yes, I can tell you have an idea.
Execumancer: You bet.

The scene changed to Max and Ethan who made it to the castle's chapel.

They entered inside to see benches flipped everywhere as a coffin was present.

They went towards the coffin and Ethan pushed off the coffin door where they saw a dead corpse holding the dagger that Ethan spoke of.

Max grabbed the dagger and examined it.

Max: Woah...

Suddenly Ethan was grabbed by Lady Dimitrescu who was angry.

Lady D: You ruined everything!!!

She stabbed Ethan with her Freddy Krueger hand.

Max retaliated and stabbed her on the side as the vampire gasped in pain.

She let go of Ethan as she was more pale and her eyes were now bloodshot.

She pushed the 2 away and they broke a window and were in the edge of falling down but held on, the dagger fell off from Max's grasps.

Ethan and Max noticed Dimitrescu's screams as she began taking a new form.

Everything was silent, until this creature broke through the walls of the chapel.

Lady Dimitrescu took on a new form as she laughed.

Lady D: Flesh. Bone. I will devour you all!
Max: Shit!

She grabbed the 2 and flew up in the air and they were throw to a staircase outside the castle.

Lady D: You'll die a slow and painful death before getting to that child.

Lady Dimitrescu kept laughing.

Ethan: Looks like your outside matches your inside.
Max: Nice going but we gotta fight her now.

Dimitrescu approached the 2 but they shot back at her which caused the now dragon abomination to fly away.

Max: After her!

They ran up to the top where they saw Lady Dimitrescu flying but stopped and looked at the 2.

Lady D: Just give up! Rose is ours now, there's no way we're giving her back to you!
Ethan: I'll make you eat those words.

Then Ethan pulled out a sniper rifle which shocked Max.

Max: Where did you get that?

Ethan didn't respond and hit Dimitrescu's visible body co-joined to the dragon.

She screamed in agony but flew away.

Lady Dimitrescu then landed on where they were standing and circled the pillar.

Lady D: You 2 are very lucky people, other than Miranda you got to see my real form!
Max: And you're still disgusting as ever.

The dragon abomination tried to strike them but they dodged the attack.

She approached the 2 but they kept firing at her.

Lady D: I will devour you both!
Ethan: Out of my way I'm trying to save

Ethan sniped her but she flew back in the air.

Lady D: You dare talk about saving your daughter when you killed MINE!!!

She flew at them to crash on them but the duo moved away so she craashed through the wall.

Max and Ethan got inside and began firing at her as she groaned in pain.

She growled at them with her dragon head.

Lady D: I need your flesh!

She then summoned swarms of bats at them, the 2 went to the stairs and fired at Dimitrescu's bodies with their weapons.

They went upwards to the point of the tower.

They then noticed Lady Dimitrescu was flying and circling the tower.

Lady D: Nowhere to go now Ethan and Max!

She laughed as she kept circling them.

Max: Brace yourself Ethan.
Ethan: I've dealt with far worse shit than this.

Suddenly Lady Dimitrescu crashed through the top of the tower and knocked the duo down.

Lady D: Now, time to die!

She tried to eat them but Max kicked the dragon mouth and caused her to release them.

Ethan pulled out his pistol and shot at her multiple times.

Lady D: Like hell you'll kill me!
Max: Ngh she's tough, don't you have something explosive?
Ethan: Got it covered.

He pulled out a grenade and launched it at Lady Dimitrescu and it exploded.

She was losing blood emmensly.

Lady D: Ahhh!!!

The floor began cracking and then it broke down but Lady Dimitrescu held on.

Lady D: It's too late now, you'll never see Rose again-

She grabbed the 2 with her dragon hands and the floor fully broke down and they began falling down.

Lady D: -Succumb to your despair!!!!

Ethan and Max began screaming for their lives as they fell all the way to the bottom of the tower.

Max and Ethan survived the fall and groaned in pain.

Lady Dimitrescu groaned in pain as she was dying.

Lady D: Curse you!

She began screaming in pain as her body and dragonic body began turning into a statue and died.

The body cracked into pieces and fell down while he dragon body remained still.

Ethan: You're the one that's cursed.
Max: Come on, let's get out of here

They then got up and went down a staircase to see a secret door open and it revealed a flask.

Ethan grabbed it.

Max: A flask?
Ethan: What do we do with this.
Max: I don't know, but I think we should hold onto it, maybe it could be important.

They then went out of the tower and began settling for their next lord to take down.

They then managed to encounter the Duke.

Duke: Why hello Mr Winters and Mrs Max, how was your run in with Lady Dimitrescu?
Max: It was horrifying, but we took her down.
Duke: Interesting, did you find your daughter yet?

Ethan nodded his head in a no.

Ethan: No, all we did is find this.

He showed him the flask.

Duke: Oh but you found your daughter... Well a part of her...

He had a smug.

Ethan: What the hell are you talking about?
Max: What do you mean "You found your daughter"?
Duke: Why don't you take a closer look.

Ethan noticed some dust on the flask, he brushed it away with his jacket and saw this.

Ethan screamed in fear as he was petrified.

To be continued...

Ok guys, this was chapter 21.

Peace out!
