Chereads / Karitori: Kuragari / Chapter 15 - 6 Years Later.

Chapter 15 - 6 Years Later.

Part 0: Beginning of the end...

Arc 4: Dracula Infinity and the ties of a bloodline.

I actually heavily recommend you read Lore and More 4 to better understand Dracula and his history with the Van Helsings.

(It has been 6 years since what is called the Point Pleasant massacre, blamed on as a terrorist assault. But there are those who know the truth...)

(And what has happened to the young man who saw it all? Where has he been?)

(It is now the year 2015 and not a lot has changed in science and mankind)

(10:23 in the morning)

(In the city of Lisbon, Portugal)

(In a cafe sits a man wearing a formal black suit reading a newspaper, the title of the newspaper reads "Room full of bodies, massacred found by Portugal Police, yet more victims of the international murderer known as, The Scarred Ripper")

The Man: (With a single tear going down his eye) And that takes care of that...

(The man walks out the Cafe and walks through the streets, towards the docks)

(Wait... those purple eyes looks familiar and that Light brown hair, right parted undercut, with the right side facing forward over the undercut. Could this man be...? But then again he has way too many new scars to be the same man we saw 6 years ago...)

(As the man is walking to a cruise ship he is greeted by a very familiar face)

Able Pendragon: (Now the age of 26 and with a more styled haircut and a neatly trimmed beard) (Walks towards the man) Hey! Sam!

(Yes this man is indeed the same one as before, but changed and altered, he is only the same in appearance)

Samuel Reyes: (With an unkept stubble and a curved scar on his right jaw, a scar from where Mothman hit him with his claws and a small one on his right hand, just like she had...) Able!

Able: Where were you!?

Sam: Was just resting for a bit...

Able: Oh, well Sam. Are you sure you want to go on a cruise? The RoundTable Organization can provide you with a private plane...

Sam: No, I'm good, besides. (He shows Able what's inside the briefcase he's carrying with him; a large blue sapphire being held together by a Silver chain in an infinity pattern. It is a gem that was forged in heaven, it grants whoever uses it an Infinite Body and knowledge beyond human capabilities. And now Dracula seeks it.) I gotta drop this into the middle of the ocean... He cannot get his hands on it.

(Mine while inside one of the rooms of the cruise ship)

(Dracula is looking through the curtains at Sam and Able talking)

Dracula: Hahaha, I am always one step ahead, Van Helsing. And you just brought me your downfall. We'll attack him, when it's midnight...

Sam: Well Able, I better get going Ship's gonna leave in a few minutes. I'll see you soon...

(Sam and Able shake hands and head their own ways)

Able: Good luck Sam. See you whenever the Ship gets to Japan.

(Sam climbs aboard the Cruise ship)

(A few hours later, the Cruise ship is sailing over the North Atlantic Ocean)

Sam: (Is looking at the setting Sun over the horizon. He looks down at the small Scar on his right hand and his face seems to show a bit of life) It's over... all of it, they're all gone for you... (Sam tries to muster the courage to say her name, but he can't) Is- Isa... (Sam leaves the railing he was leaning on and walks away) I'm gonna go take a nap...

(Sam goes to his cabin and goes to sleep)

(Later around 20:45)

(Sam is suddenly awoken by loud noises from outside, not of the party kind)

(Sam leaves his cabin, taking the briefcase with him)

(People are screaming in terror and running through the hallways)

Sam: (Catches a woman before she trips) What the hell's happening out there?

Woman: (Panicking) Sir, d- don't go out there!!! They'll kill you without a second thought!!

Sam: (The woman runs out of his arms) Who will?

(She doesn't answer Sam and just continues running away)

(Sam runs up to the top of the cruise ship and everything is on fire, the ship is falling apart and in the middle stands Dracula, the newly revived Vlad III and Alucard looking remorseful at what is going on)

Sam: You bastards... Dracula!!!

Dracula: (Turns around to face Sam) So, Van Helsing we meet at last. Or should I call you Reyes?

Sam: Reyes, Van Helsing call me whatever you like... and I've been wanting to say this for a long time now!! (Sam readies to fight) Sorry Edward, but I'm not Bella!!!

(A Vampire leaps at Sam from and he catches it by throat and throws it into the fire)

Sam: Time to eliminate the last rats in the nest...

Dracula: *Hmph* That which you are carrying in the briefcase, may I have it?

Sam: Over my dead body!!!

Dracula: That's the idea, Vlad!!!

(Vlad charges towards Sam head on and Sam uses this, looking defenseless until he comes close then Sam quickly summons the Rogue Scythe and knocks back Vlad and runs in to finish him off)

Dracula: Alucard, do you job.

Alucard: (With a sense of remorse) (Neatly trimmed brown hair and orange eyes like all Vampires) Yes, brother...

(Alucard attacks Sam before he reaches Vlad and knocks him down, letting the briefcase fall out of his hand towards Dracula)

Sam: (Tries to stand up but is knocked back by a small explosion) Damn it!!!

Dracula: (Breaks open the briefcase and takes out the Gem) Haha, the Sapphire of Infinity... your brought it to me, perfect... (Sees Vlad approaching Sam) Vlad! Get back here, he'll die with this ship, in the cold heart of the ocean... (Dracula starts a teleportation spell) Tell your Great Great Grandfather, I said hello.

(Sam stands up and runs towards them, but he is too late and they teleport away)

Sam: No!!!

(A large explosion happens in the middle of the ship and Sam is knocked far back and falls on a wooden plank, drifting on the ocean.)

(Sam is knocked unconscious from the explosion and drifts on the plank away from the boat)

(3 days later and Sam is still drifting on the plank, badly sunburned on the face due to facing the sun the whole time)

Sam: (Almost loses balance on the plank) The hell am I? (Sam drinks a bit of the water he's floating on) Ah!!! Saltwater! The ocean? How the hell am I in the middle of the ocean!? Oh...

(While the smaller wounds were healed due to a Reaper's healing capabilities he still has several more large wounds from the explosion)

(A few hours later Sam crashes on a beach next to a house)

Sam: (Hits his head on the plank) Ow...

(A man notices Sam crashed on the beach)

The Man: (Rushes over to Sam) How did you get here? (He notices Sam's severe wounds and decides help him off the plank onto the beach) Oh, my friend how did this happen to you? That sunburn and the wounds... I'm gonna have to use Magica to heal you. (Water suddenly comes out of the man's hands and he sprays it over Sam's face and the wounds, healing them) There should be better. Ah, damn it. I'm gonna have to take you to my house, to heal your wounds.

(The man picks Sam and carries him over to his house, the one on the beach)

Sam: (Thinking) Wait, he has a water Elementa, his dark blue coat has a starfish logo on it, he lives near the ocean, he saved me from the ocean, he took my by the hand... (Talking) Ocean Man!?

The Man: What?

(Sam falls unconscious again)

(The man carries Sam into his house and lies him down on his couch)

The Man: Mary, I need a bit help here...

(The next morning around 05:37)

(Sam is lying on the couch, not knowing what is going on and where he is, he starts to roll around uncomfortably)

A woman tending to Sam: (Talking quietly) Hey, hey easy now...

Sam: (Still with his eyes closed) Mrs. Pendragon? Oh, I had the worst nightmare...

The Woman: W- what was it about?

Sam: It was super long, felt like 8 years... I got hit by a truck and then turned into something called a Reaper and I hunted monsters...

The Woman: Well rest now, you're back in reality and at the Pendleton residence...

Sam: (Opens his eyes and turns his head) Pendleton? (Sam suddenly stands up and the woman turns on the light) Oh no! It wasn't a nightmare! Screw you too reality!!! Haah, listen who are you, where am I?

Mary Pendleton: (Beautiful blonde hair and green eyes around the age of 24) The name's Mary Pendleton... you're at the Pendleton residence, near New York City.

Sam: How did I get here?

Mary: Oh, uhh my brother said he found you on the beach, unconscious... (She leans towards Sam) You are a handsome man, you know that. I've never seen anyone with Purple eyes and that hair...

Sam: Jeez, what is it with people recently and my hair... If I want a undercut, It's my own choice!!!

Mary: No, no it's beautiful, I wanted to say that...

Sam: (Leaning backwards) Thanks... I guess...

Mary: Marry me please!!! And let me have your children!!!

Sam: Whoa, whoa!!! That's jumping the gun isn't it!?

The man that saved Sam: Mary! Stop, freaking our guest out... (He walks over to Sam as Mary walks away) Sorry about that, the name's...

Sam: Ocean Man!

Erik Pendleton: (Neatly gelled forward facing Brown Hair and blue eyes. He is around 5'7, with an average build and the age of 34. He is wearing a Royal blue leather duster coat, that bends backwards near the chest the tail end of the coat is split in two, near the end, there is a starfish logo on the back of the left shoulder) Okay, Erik Pendleton is my name...

Sam: No, no, no it's Ocean Man!

Erik: Sure... mind explaining to me, how you wound up stranded on my beach?

Sam: Long story, short. I fought Dracula and he kicked my ass...

Erik: You fought Dracula?

Sam: Yeah... and he got away with the Sapphire of Infinity, he's gonna be unstoppable and I need to find to defeat him. Otherwise he takes over the world...

Erik: I'll join you...

Sam: You don't have to, you know that... we just met and I don't want you to join a war that's not yours...

Erik: That's the truth, but this world is mine and I'm gonna protect it too...

Sam: (Reaches out for a handshake) Thank you...

Erik: (Shakes Sam's hand) Meet me in my car. you can explain everything to me on the way, we're going to New York City, it's a few hours away.

Sam: New York? What a coincidence, I have a reason to believe that's where the bastard's hiding, so let's go stop him... I'm just gonna need to make a few phone calls when we get there.

Erik: Right! There's a few spare clothes in the bathroom you can use.

Sam: (Stands up) Thanks.

Erik: Mary! I'm going out, I'll be gone for a few hours.

Mary: (Shouting from the kitchen) Okay! Just come back safe!

(A few minutes later, Sam comes out of the bathroom wearing a full black suit with a grey tie and a single finger less glove over his left hand.)

(Sam gets in the car with Erik and Erik drives off to New York City)

(Along the way they got to know each other, with Erik revealing that he comes from a long bloodline of warriors and those who protect humanity and Sam tells Ocean Man that his Ancestor is Abraham Van Helsing and he tells him about his mission to wipe out all Vampires and how it succeeded)

Sam: (Suddenly has this dark and sinister tone in his voice and a sadistic smile on his face) By eliminating all Vampires, I Perfected the Impure that is the world, now there's only the vermin that roam in it freely left and they shall know my name, one way or the other I shall be the Shin no Karitori...

Erik: (Shocked) Hey, are you fine?

Sam: (Snaps out of it) Yeah... don't know where that came from.

(In the back of the car, sits the figure with the red cloak with an evil and sadistic smile on his face, Erik doesn't see him, only Sam does)

(End of Chapter 15 and the start of a Crusade to stop the devil of blood)
