Chapter 21 - The Infinity Crusade Part 4

Part 0: Beginning of the end.

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

(30 minutes until the Scarlet Eclipse)

(In a greenhouse, Sam lies on the floor, he was knocked back here by Dracula Infinity)

Sam: (Lying on the floor, shaking his head) Good Grief... (He stands up and starts looking around) My Back hurts, I have a headache the size of Mount Everest and I don't even know where I am... (Looks at the watch Sara gave him) 12:30, damn! I need to find Dracula now!!!

(Sam rushes out of the greenhouse, with people looking on in shock and confusing)

(Sam gets on a bike outside the greenhouse and rides away)

(Able and Annah are still driving in the car to escape Dracula Infinity)

Able: (Looking in the mirrors and all around for Dracula) Damn it!!! Where is he? He's probably flying above us like some edgy, overly buff Superman... oh and mind explaining that back there!!!

Annah: What?

Able: Back at the hotel you shook your head when Sam asked if you had an Elementa, suddenly; you got one!!!

Annah: Oh... I've known about my "Elementa" all these years; I just didn't know what they were called, I always called it a "Gift", I wanted to help you all, but I wasn't brave enough and I was weak, but Sam showed my strength and hope and I guess something just changed inside me...

Able: Okay... how did you find us in the first place?

Annah: (A slight bit embarrassed) I followed your car...

Able: You could've been hurt, Sam would've been hurt... listen we need to get as far away as possible from Dracula; who knows where he is...

(In the streets of New York, Dracula Infinity walks alone, his black hair flowing in the wind, outside he keeps a straight face, inside he has nothing but rage and heartbreak)

Dracula Infinity: (Thinking) Alucard... my brother, I am sorry; for treating you like that, I denied you, I loathed you... I loved you. If I could do it all over again; I would treat you better... I am sorry.

(Dracula Infinity bumps in a man on the sidewalk)

The Man: (Blonde hair and brown eyes) Oh... sorry there; just look for the little guys, you giant haha... Hank's the name.

Dracula Infinity: (Looks at the car Hank came out of) (Thinking) These are; automobiles or cars... humanity has evolved far...

Hank: (Looking at Dracula's clothing, A black cape, red tank top and grey pants with black boots) Hey... you look like a cosplayer, cool costume...

Dracula Infinity: Is this your car?

Hank: This... yeah got it at a car retail...

(Dracula Infinity slams down Hank's face on the hood of the car and throws him into the driver seat)

Dracula Infinity: (Walks around the car and gets into the passenger seat) Drive.

Hank: W- what!!! Polic-...

Dracula Infinity: (Covers the man's mouth) Call for the police and you'll get far worse than a slam to the face...

Hank: (Dracula Infinity lets go of his mouth) R- right!!! Where to?

Dracula Infinity: Just drive, I'll tell you when to chase someone.

(Hank drives with Dracula Infinity in the passenger seat)

Hank: (Trying to hide the stress on his face) (Thinking) W- who is this psychopath? This has to be some cruel joke!!! My friends better be pulling a prank on me!!!

(Dracula Infinity starts trying to operate the radio)

Dracula Infinity: (Struggle to turn it on) How does this "radio" work?

Hank: (Turns on the radio and points at the dial) Just turn that thing to signal through radio stations!!!

Dracula Infinity: (Starts turning the dial and goes through several stations all playing different genres and music, eventually he finds a classical music radio station and leaves it) Perfect...

(As everyone starts driving through Manhattan trying to find one another several more minutes pass)

(22 Minutes until the Scarlet Eclipse)

(Hank and Dracula Infinity are stuck in a traffic jam)

Hank: (Looking out the window at the moon slowly covering the sun) Man, that's a beautiful sight; wouldn't you agree... (Looks at Dracula Infinity with his eyes close) Is he asleep?

Dracula Infinity: (With his eyes closed) Why have we stopped?

Hank: Well... it's New York during Rush Hour, you're not getting far...

Dracula Infinity: (Looking out his window at a market place and points towards it) There's clear open road right there...

Hank: Are you insane!!! That's a market!!! You don't drive through it!!!

Dracula Infinity: (Slams Hank's face on the steering wheel and faces him towards the market) It is wide enough, drive now, or else...

Hank: (Dracula Infinity lets go of him) (Thinking) He's a maniac!!! (Starts to turn the steering wheel) Yeah... all this is, is an audition for a movie!!! This guy's the director and he's seeing how I perform under stress!!! (Drives towards the market) Everyone in that market's probably a paid actor!!! Yes, they're gonna dodge the car just time!!!

(Hank drives full speed through the market, Dracula Infinity has a sadistic smile on his face, seeing all the blood splatter on the windscreen and he lets out a maniacal laugh)

Hank: (Trying to laugh like Dracula Infinity) How am I doing!? Am I hired for the movie!?

(Hank drives out of the market and just as he does Able and Annah pass in their car)

(Able spots Dracula Infinity in the car and so does Dracula Infinity)

Dracula: (Looking at Able and Annah driving away) Chase that orange car...

Hank: (Takes chase after Able) YES!!!

Able: Shit!!!

(Hank chases after Able each speeding their way through the streets of Manhattan)

(They eventually reach a bridge with a railroad crossing on it and train starts passing)

Able: Hold on, Annah!!!

(Annah covers her head and Able barely makes it past the train, but the train hits the bumper and ruins the back of the car making it immobile)

(Hank also beats the train, but gets hit on the back of the car which causes him to lose control and he crashes into a shop, setting fire to the car)

(Dracula Infinity kicks down the door and climbs out of the car, before it explodes)

(Hank climbs out of the car but get hit by the explosion, sending him flying, hitting a wall and killing him)

Dracula Infinity: (Walks over to Hank's body and looks at it) Hmm... I'll save him for later. (Looking over at Able's car with him still inside it) I have something better anyways...

(Dracula Infinity starts approaching Able's car)

Able: (Unfastening the seat belt, with a serious injury to his head) Annah... run!!! Go!!!

(Annah runs out of the car away from it)

Dracula Infinity: (Looking at Annah running away) I'll get to her later...

(Able exits the car and is ready to face Dracula Infinity)

Able: (Covering his bleeding forehead, with Excalibur in his other hand) Dracula!!! Fight me!!!

Dracula Infinity: A brave, yet foolish final decision...

Able: I am Able Pendragon, 3rd son of King Arthur, I have the blood of a warrior in me!!!

Dracula Infinity: Thanks, and that blood's all mine.

(Able charges at Dracula Infinity)

(Dracula Infinity takes off his cape and readies to fight Able)

(Able catches Dracula off guard and slices open a large piece of his arm)

(Able gets behind Dracula Infinity and tries to attacks him in the air, but Dracula notices this and teleports behind Able and knocks him to the ground full force and breaking one of Able's arms)

(Able attempts to get up, but Dracula kicks him while he's down, causing Able to roll down the road)

(Able notices someone down the road on a bike, it's Sam searching for them)

Able: SAM!!!

Dracula Infinity: Hmm? (Looks down the road and spots Sam on the bike) So Van Helsing's still with us? This will make it even more satisfying...

(Sam drives down the road towards Able)

(Dracula is too fast for Sam and before Sam reaches him, Dracula bites Able's neck and drains him completely of blood)

(Sam gets off his bike and looks on in shock as the man he considers his brother is completely drained of blood)

Sam: (With tears in his eyes) You... you... YOU BASTARD!!!

Dracula Infinity: (Slams down Able's corpse and starts laughing maniacally) Hahahaha, the adrenaline!!! I can feel it all!!! Come at me Van Helsing!!!!

(Sam runs towards Dracula Infinity and Dracula charges back at him while laughing maniacally)

(They come close to each other ready to end this eternal feud, between two bloodlines)

(11:46; 14 minutes until the Scarlet Eclipse)

(End of Chapter 21)
