Game Script (From U.S. Version)
-------------------------------


Prologue:

It is 1830... at an old Austrian castle. From the worshippers of chaos, rise
the plea for the return of the Lord of Darkness.


Inside the Castle:

(Camilla stands in front of Dracula's coffin)

Camilla We crave the presence of the embodiment of suffering, the ruler of
       darkness!

(Dracula's coffin opens, Dracula awakens)

Dracula I have waited for this moment, to be awake again. To bask in the
       darkness and feel the moonlight within.
Camilla Count Dracula, I am honored to be in your presence.
Dracula Indeed. Though I lack my full power.
Camilla We are preparing the rite to replenish your power...
Morris  Stop!

(Morris Baldwin enters, along with his two apprentices, his son Hugh and
his friends' son, Nathan Graves)

Morris  You cannot be allowed to taint the world!
Dracula You... I remember... you were one of the Vampire Killers that
       sealed me. ... you've aged.
Morris  It is our duty to see you banished.
Dracula Amusing. To use my nemesis' life power to return my power. I have
       no use for children. Be gone!

(Dracula lifts his arm, and a bat comes out of his cloak and breaks away
the ground underneath Hugh and Nathan, and they fall)

Morris  Hugh! Nathan!
Nathan  Master!
Hugh    Father!

(they fall a long ways down to the Catacombs)

Nathan  Hmm... no creatures around here. Hugh, are you okay?
Hugh    Yeah. We were just brushed aside and ignored...
Nathan  We have to find Master.
Hugh    I'll go. He's my father. Nathan, you'll be in the way. Just get out
       of here.

(Hugh runs off)

Nathan  I want to find Master as much as anybody.


Audience Room:

(If you try to open Dracula's door)

Nathan  It is locked...


Audience Room, Necromancer's Lair:

Ncrmncr Extraordinary! To be dropped into the Abyss and still live. But
       your luck is about to run out.
Nathan  Get out of my way!
Ncrmncr Child, before I finish you, I will tell you some news. Your
       precious Master is already in our power.
Nathan  What!!
Ncrmncr That old man will feed us with his soul. The rite has been prepared
       and we only await the full moon.
Nathan  No!

(After defeating the Necromancer)

Nathan  I know Master is still alive! Hold on, I'll be there. Though, where
       is Hugh?


Machine Tower, After Beating Iron Golem:

(Hugh walks in)

Nathan  Hugh! Are you alright?
Hugh    What are you doing here? Are you trying to take my glory?
Nathan  Wha? What are you talking about? I just want to save Master.
Hugh    You're in the way! I will defeat Dracula myself. And then...
Nathan  Hugh?

(Hugh runs away)


Chapel Tower:

(Nathan opens a door, Hugh comes tumbling out)

Nathan  Hugh! You okay?
Hugh    You! Back off. This is my trophy to claim!

(Hugh is weakened. He tries to get up, but falls again.)

Hugh    Urgg!
Nathan  Hugh!!

(Nathan walks into the next room to battle the creature that Hugh lost
against. He fights the giant monster, Adramelech, and defeats it. He comes
back out to talk to Hugh, who has gotten back up on his feet.)

Hugh    Damn! Who asked you for help!
Nathan  I couldn't just leave you, could I?

(Hugh points his finger straight at Nathan)

Hugh    Don't think that you defeated it. It was the power of that whip.
Nathan  Hugh...
Hugh    You could never beat me in training. Never once! But father named
       you the successor and gave you the Hunter Whip. Your parents and my
       father banished Dracula together and those fond memories clouded
       his judgement. Don't forget that!

(Hugh walks away in fury)


Underground Waterway:

Nathan  You, you were with Dracula in the hall.
Camilla I am Camilla. I beckoned Dracula forth again.
Nathan  Why do you want his return? To turn this world into a living hell?
Camilla But isn't this world hellish already? People are intrigued by
       darkness, and covet chaos and power. They are dirty self-centered
       mongrels. I simply wish the world to properly reflect this image.
Nathan  You are delusional!
Camilla If only you too would embrace the darkness in your soul, then a new
       world would unfold before you.
Nathan  Shut up!
Camilla The one who was with you... he was more honest with himself. Even
       MY MASTER approves of him. (giggle)
Nathan  What? What have you done to Hugh?

(Fights Camilla)

Camilla You are too late. The rite has been prepared. Only the full moon is
       missing. It is just a matter of time, before the Master has his
       full power of Darkness. Your precious Master and friend will...

(Camilla screams and dies)

Nathan  Master! Hugh!


Observation Tower

(Nathan walks into a room. Hugh is standing there, sword drawn.)

Hugh    Nathan, so you've finally arrived.
Nathan  Hugh?! You're okay? I thought that they...

(Hugh slashes his sword at Nathan - Nathan jumps back and avoids it.)

Nathan  Hugh! What are you doing?
Hugh    I am superior to you! I will defeat you to prove myself to father.
Nathan  You are being controlled by... Camilla? No... by Dracula!

(After fight)

Nathan  Stop Hugh! I don't want to hurt you. Hugh!!
Hugh    Nathan? (moan) I, I'm... I'm alright now.
Nathan  You are yourself again.
Hugh    Nathan, I am sorry. I was envious of you.
Nathan  ?
Hugh    When father named you the successor, I was afraid that I was
       worthless. I wanted... needed the recognition.
Nathan  Enough.
Hugh    That probably was the dark weakness that father saw... in my
       soul... why he chose you.
Nathan  Stop it Hugh.
Hugh    It's alright. Even I realize now that father was right in his
       decision. Don't make me embarass myself further. Allow me self-pity
       for now. Help father now. I am entrusting his return to you now.
Nathan  I accept.

(Nathan walks into the next room and gets the key to Dracula's chambers. He
goes back to to the locked door in the beginning of the game and enters.)


Ceremonial Room:

(Nathan enters a room. Dracula is one one side, he is on the other. Between
them, in the background, is Morris Baldwin, tied to a pillar.)

Dracula Hmmm... you have done well to come so far.
Nathan  Master!
Dracula Impeccable timing. The time for the rite is upon us. You soul will
       become ours as well.
Nathan  Not if I can help it! Master! Are you alright?!
Dracula What an emotional display. But don't fool yourself. Even you must
       have darkness upon your soul.
Nathan  What!
Dracula To be superior. To be honored for your singular accomplishments.
Nathan  !
Dracula ... to be loved by all... to get the glory even at the expense of
       others. That is what your friend craved. I just increased that
       desire, that power.
Nathan  You despicable blight! How dare you toy with his soul. I'll get you
       for that.

(After fight)

Dracula Power... I need my full power!

(Dracula is beamed up to the moon)

Nathan  Huh?

(Hugh runs in and unties his father Morris, who is weak and falls into
Hugh's arms)

Morris  Chase him! Don't let him escape! Urgg...
Nathan  !!
Hugh    I'll take care of father. You go after him!
Nathan  ... right. Get Master to safety.

(Hugh turns and starts to walk away with Morris, then turns back to say one
last thing)

Hugh    Nathan, banish Dracula and then make sure you get out.
Nathan  I will.

(Nathan jumps into the beam of light and follows Dracula to the moon.
Dracula has transformed into a megafreak. After defeating him, Dracula
screams in wrath, and burns horribly. Nathan and Dracula are transported
back to the Ceremonial Room. Dracula lies on the floor.)

Dracula It is a wasted effort. I will never be truly gone. So long as there
       is darkness and desire in the soul of man. I will continued to be
       revived.
Nathan  And we will be there to stop you. You can bet on that.

(Dracula disappears, the roof begins to fall. Nathan runs away.)


Epilogue:

(Nathan, Hugh, and Morris are standing over a cliff at a sunset. The castle
is in the background, and then it crumbles.)

Nathan  Master, are you well?
Morris  Nathan? Thank you. You did well... you have become a Hunter in your
       own right. Hugh. I need to thank you as well. But your training
       must begin anew.
Hugh    I know father. I will train like I was reborn to become worthy.

(Hugh walks over to Nathan)

Hugh    Hey Nathan. If you become soft, I'll take over for you.
Nathan  I look forward to the challenge, Hugh.

(Credits roll, The End)
