Dracula commences the battle and the orks begin to rampagously huddle towards us.

"Here they come!" Matthew cries out, crossing his swords with an Ork. I equip my sniper rifle and shoot the one closest to me. Anderson summons a wall of fire, distancing the orks from us and shouts, "We need a plan!"

"Yup, I did think of one when we arrived in here" Amber says rather foolishly.

We grab each other by our shoulder and form a six membered ring "Do you remember the trinity scythe? The one Sapphire failed to lift" Amber begins.

"What about it?" I ask.

"Well, I think that the trinity scythe's the only weapon that can penetrate through Dracula's defence!"

"Yeah, but he did mention that only the holder's descendants can use it" Matthew recalls.

"Or someone who is worthy enough" Amber adds in.

"But who?" Shu questions, being sarcastic. Amber kicks Shu's knee making him groan.

"Okay, okay! I was being sarcastic" Shu hastily apologizes, jumping on one foot "So, we create a distraction and you run for it"

"Exactly! And in the mean time, I need you guys to try finding his blind spots..."

She stops, her face now sullen and with a sense of fear "What lies in that scythe is a demon that killed it's own user. If I lose control over it as well, this might be the end..."

Matthew pats her back, "Sis, I know you can beat the hell out of that demon. And even if you fail, we've got your back. So try your best and so will we!"

"Thank you brother" She sighs. Now, we turn back as the orks break through the wall.

"Black Knights forever!" We roar, sprinting towards the orks with our weapons raised.

While the others fight the orks with tooth and nail, I trigger dracula who hasn't moved a spine since his last commemoration. Startled, I watch him slice the bullet using his bare claws. His reflexes are way beyond an ordinary human being or a monster! A horde of womions glide from the roof, blocking my view. He wouldn't be expecting me to shoot him with womions blocking our view!

I chant, "Galwch ar yr eryr cryf am ei lygaid o fydiad -Call upon the mighty eagle for his eyes of magnification". Being able to see beyond the wall of womions, I aim at Dracula once more. As soon as Anderson burns the womions to dust by his dazzling fire, I shoot Dracula from the underneath once more. But surprisingly, his reaction outwitts my plan. An acromantula appears in between and acts like a guard, blocking the bullet.

Matthew and Sarah tear through the battlefield and dash towards Dracula. They engage with dracula as he finally moves, blocking Matthew and Sarah simultaneously.

Dracula being distracted successfully, Amber decides to make her move. One step forward and suddenly a bunch of skeleton swordsman appear, blocking the corridor. Shu and I immediately shoot them down, forging a path for her. Amber tackles her way through the cobs and bones  and enter the corridor while we defend her from the incoming wave.

She dissappears on the next right as Shu and I push back the skeleton army who started to chase her. Now that Amber's been escorted to the room safely, I aim at Dracula once more, who's been holding all of Matthew's and Sarah's strikes. He dodges the bullet and counter's the other's attacks in the blink of an eye.

Dracula steps back and taunts, "Have you finished your job of sending your teammate to the gates of hell?"

"What do you mean?" Shu eyes, covering for her escape.

"Oh please! Do you really think you can fool me in my own castle?" He laughs as a womion flies from above and sits on his shoulder "I've predicted your strategy the moment you've placed your foot into this kingdom. I always knew that her main objective is to take control over the trinity scythe. And now, she might as well never come back. Anyone who tries to wield that scythe would eventually be consumed and killed by the demon sheltering inside it."

"You're wrong!" Shu shouts back, outrageously "She isn't like the others. She may be a bit clumsy, bossy and keeps scolding me all the time but she isn't someone who surrenders to evil. The only one who will never come back is you, because you're going down this instant"

"Then be it" Dracula says with crossed eyebrows. As fast as lightning, Dracula springs forward positioning his claws to strike. Shu's arm glows as the void glove activates and he dodges Dracula's blow. Dracula attacks once more but Shu counters it as the edge of the claw clashes with metal.

Shu flips in the air as I throw a dagger at him, and pounce over Dracula for the counter strike. Dracula swiftly dodges the incoming streak and then strikes back with double the intensity. With a dagger in one hand and a blaster in another, Shu manages both his attacks and defence simultaneously. And finally, he grazes through Dracula's cheek, making him bleed. Dracula steps back as he wipes away the scraped injury.

"So you weren't all talk, were you?" Dracula says excitedly.

"And you are stronger than I expected to be" Shu grins.

Suddenly, Dracula appears in front of Shu in a flash and stabs him. "Yet, you're too weak for me"

Stupified, Shu falls to his knees, coughing out blood.

"Shu!" I cry out and shoot Dracula. Dracula dodges the bullet and points his claws at Shu's throat. "Any last words?"

Shu smiles, "Never underestimate my teammates" Suddenly, Dracula's claws get sliced in half. With a scythe in her grasp and the Black Knights cloak covering her skin, Amber lands her foot on the ground. She points the scythe at Dracula as she mocks, "Surrender now or I'll slice you in half" Dracula jumps back as his nails regrow.

But, his hideous grin did not waver. "Do you really think that you can control the scythe? Don't you feel your blood being sucked out of your body and the demon eating your soul?"

"No!" Amber shouts "I can control it. I shall not surrender to anyone and never will!" Though she has the courage and determination, it's plainly visible that the scythe slowly started to take control over her. Her legs start to tremble and she falls onto her knees. Frightened, Dracula takes another steps back as the scythe in amber's hand begins to glow blood red. Amber shuts her ears and cries out in pain. And then, she stops to quaver. Like a life without any soul, she stands up and faces Dracula.

"Finally! we meet again" Amber says in an intimating voice, as she licks the sharp edge of her scythe.

"Ahh.. ever since my reincarnation, I've been waiting eagerly for your arrival" Dracula starts to laughs like a lunatic "Behold Trinity, the goddess of death!"

No... It can't be...

"That isn't my sister..." Matthew speaks in a low tone. Eyes filled with lament, Shu shouts "Where's Amber?"

Ignoring the team's precipitous questions, Trinity drifts towards Dracula with her scythe being dragged along the floor. The red gleam in her eyes prevents us from going any further.

His nails being regrown back to its original state, Dracula proceeds as well. "I may have lost in the past, but now it's different." A huge beam like shadow emerges from his feet.

"It doesn't matter to me if you have grown stronger than your previous self." She lifts her scythe "There's only one task for me to perform, and that is to end Yuuji's suffering and the misery you've caused." She springs forward, clashing her scythe against the shadow. They retract and attack once more. Meanwhile, we tend to Shu's injuries that he received on his previous battle.

One blow after another, Dracula and Trinity fight neck to neck. Being immensely agile, the battle couldn't be spectated through our naked eyes. The whole castle as their arena, the walls begin collapse by their overwhelming power. But soon enough, Trinity starts to give in. She gets corned as soon as the last drop of her energy dies out. She clings on to her scythe, taking deep breaths.

Dracula laughs, "You've made the wrong choice by choosing a host with no stamina. And now, once I behead you, there would be none to stop me"

"Wrong choice? None to stop you?" Trinity chuckles as her her beaming red eyes turn back to the grey beady eyes, Amber once had "Think about it again during your time in hell"

Before he could utter another word, the void glove activates once more and Shu springs forward, aiming his blasters at Dracula in close proximity. Dracula merely escapes Shu's attack but inturn gets sliced by Matthew who appears behind Shu. Blood spurrs out of Dracula's chest as he falls with his back onto the ground.

Clinging onto Shu's shoulder, Amber holds on to a crucifix and utters some words. None could understand what she murmured apart from Dracula himself.

"No... Not again!" Dracula screeches as a coffin appears in the air and sucks him into it. Followed by the dissappearance of Dracula into the coffin, the clouds scatter away returning light back to the world, and the demons turn to dust. Among the cracks in the stone floor, saplings appear enhancing the bueaty of our surroundings. And a rose lies there on the floor, where Dracula once stood.  He might not have been a bad person if darkness hadn't consumed him, I tell myself as I stare longingly at the lifeless, solitary flower.

Amber looks down onto her feet as she says regretfully,"I apologize all of you for lying back then.... about being consumed by trinity. Actually, Trinity and I made a pact. But I couldn't let Dracula know the truth"

"Well, you did the right thing by lying to us" Sarah says, as she picks some freshly risen daisy's from the ground.

"And yet I kept hopes up until the last second" Shu spouts.

"Says the one who couldn't control his tears upon hearing Amber's lies" Anderson comments, sarcastically.

"Hey!" Shu scowls. Amber puts her index finger against Shu's lips as she says cheerfully, "And I believed that you will come to save me when I lose all my blood"

"Amber..." Shu kisses her forehead.

"Did she just say something about her blood being drained?" I interrupt.

"Uh.." Suddenly, Amber sinks into Shu's arms, falling unconscious.

"Guys... Her face is turning pale and her pulse's dropping!" Shu shouts, alarmed.

"She needs to be transfused with blood immediately!" Anderson says, hastily.

"But how do we get to the exit?" Sarah asks with sunken eyes and a worried tone.

"I can use my void glove to get her to safety" Shu says, equipping the glove.

On realising that Shu  doesn't have any energy left within, I immediately stop him. "I'll do it"

Equipped with the void glove, I hold Amber in my arms and chant the spell in my mind, "Galwaf arnat i roi grym y camau arnofio i mi - i call upon thee to give the power of floating step"

With my feet in the air and in a  corridor that may lead to the exit, I sprint forward like there's no tomorrow.

On my way, I find Sonic. The little dank(the species' name)  stops as Lucas communicates through it, "Nuke, call in your teammates and.. hurry! The gates are going to close in ten minutes."

Ten minutes?! What shall I do? I can't let amber lose anymore blood nor abandon my team. I explain Lucas the situation.

"Then we have to hurry! I can't let Sarah suffer in there alone..."

"It's not just Sarah, it's my entire team you nitwit!" I scowl.

"Anyways, let sonic guide you the way. Right now, we have to save Amber!"

Yes, he's right. I follow sonic as it takes the shortest route to the entrance of the cave. Being incredibly fast, there isn't any possibility that a monster might block our way. I notice a vast number of goblins and acromantulas along the walls, but none notice us as we swish like the wind.

Nearly two minutes later, we reach the entrance with all the members of the red dragons, the brazen Eagles and the brawlers waiting for me. I leave Amber's body in their care and turn back. Ashlee grasps my hand tightly, not letting me go, "Please don't..." She says with teiry eyes "What if you don't make it back in time"

"Ashlee's right.. you were able to reach here quickly, only due to the void glove and Sonic's help. Otherwise, it would have taken you nearly twenty minutes to get back here." Audrey adds in.

"But I cannot let my teammates die in there" I turn around to face Ashlee "I promise I'll be back here safely without leaving anyone behind"

And with that, I sprint back into the cave. Having the map mesmorized, I make my way to the castle where all my friends are waiting. As soon as I catch up to them, I explain them the situation.

"Oh no! With our current status, I don't know how long we can hold our team together."

"Yeah, the five of us wouldn't be able to spend an whole day in here. Let's get out as fast as we can"

With five minutes remaining, we run with the little hope we have left within us. But that, was just another miscalculation. An unexpected visit encounters our way. As soon as we near the entrance, the ground begins to tremble and the sound of footsteps reverberates along the walls and the ceiling. And before us stands a huge blue bodied and two legged monster with a goat like appearance, a bloody axe in its hand, and the eyes of the intention to kill anything that comes into its view. The gleam eyes is back and seems to be stronger and bigger than ever...
