D fell to one knee and wrapped part of his cape around himself as the lights turned on. Thankfully Dag had the strength to talk to the man, D felt like he was going to throw up or pass out from the intensity of the Sunlamps. It wasnt until the lights were turned off that D was able to regain his composure again.
Ds cool gaze landed on the man, Spearhead. How was he here? Why was he here? Wasnt everything in this castle out to get them? This didnt make any sense... not that the youth really had expected this place to.
"Im D and this is Daggerfang. We've come here with a few others, to find my half sister. She was taken by one of Bloodstorms mind controlled minions..." D explained to the man. "How are you here?"

"Me? This was once me castle! I lived in here all me life! Ever since that red-headed punk invaded, chaos took me throne! I locked meself in here, and to keep from starving, used me magic to change meself into this demon bird beast. I be stuck permanently this way, but care I do not."
He folded his bony arms across his ribbed chest, tapping a claw in irritation to the thought of that invasion. The beak twitched, then gave a single clap. Spearhead then punched in a code on the wall behind him, and the wall revolved around, to stop half way. Beyond it, was a whole room dedicated to weapons and supplies.
"This be the storage room. All this stuff is his macabre collection from heroes that attempted to defeat him and failed. From bazookas, to swords, even a few oddities in between. Take a look. Ye be needin' some-a this stuff to combat against his more tougher baddies, which luckily haven't found this room yet."
Spearhead then started laughing, "If ye do plan to use this stuff, I want ye two to do a thing fer me. Kick that punk's a** fer me! Send him back ta Hell where he belongs!"
Dag kept silent, then walked into the storage room... and promptly browsed the collection of weapons and armor, looking for something good to use.

"The plan is to destroy him. But the only way we thought to do that is to take out the rooms he's created one by one. Lessen his power bit by bit before we find one another and go after him." D stated gently. He ignored the room for now, he still had a few questions. "If my father has it his way he'll torture him as well, make him beg for his death." D said with a light shake his head.
"How many people have tried to defeat him?" D questioned as he looked to the armor on the floor and then to the room full of weapons. He didnt need his questioned answered though.
"You wouldnt know any of his weaknesses? Or why he invaded here in the first place would you?" D inquired as he headed into the weapons room and started to look around. Though he was partial to his own blade...

"Well, he never showed any weaknesses when he invaded me castle. He invaded it fer a stronghold of his own. The only thing I knew was I had to lock meself in this room, or I be prey to the beasties that roam the halls. His unearthly magic changed me entire castle to a house of horrors. b*****d."
Spearhead folded up his arms again, the gun waving around loosely in one claw. He kept a lazy eye on the two, to make sure they were who they were. The bird-man watched them browse.
Daggerfang continued to look, shifting through several guns, swords, even some tiger claw weapons. He even came across some VERY pointy armor. It was like wearing porcupines for armor. How was that even touchable? Who owned that set of armor?
He was curious, and continued to shuffle through the pile of weapons.

Spearheads gun caught D's gaze when he refolded his arms. Shifting his gaze to Daggerfangs weapon Sunbreaker D had a question. "Your gun there, can i ask if its just a normal gun, or is it something otherworldly?" D asked, a stupid question maybe but it was leading up to what he needed to ask.
"My friends there, has harvested the power of the sun. Its very useful against the puddle-jumpers as you call them. However... that kind of technology would be even more useful if i had one of my own. Or if i could turn my own weapon into such a thing." D stated as he unsheathed his sword, the tip of it pointing downwards. He had no intent to fight this kind soul.

Daggerfang heard himself be adressed indirectly, and overheard them talking about his beloved weapon. He turned to find the bird man looking at him with a piercing stare. Dag figured it came with his beastly form.
"Well, may I see this rarity? Ye be surprised on what me knowledge contains about weapons."
The demonic dhampir handed Spearhead his weapon, and the bird man examined it really closely. Spearhead's long, curved beak tilted upward slightly in a smile.
"Ah, this be a Sol Cannon, a more advanced version of a sol gun. It don't need a photosensitive strip to keep it full, because the entire exterior of the weapon is a solar charge. Even in false light, it can still fire thanks to the help of a UV generator inside. The more light is around, the stronger it gets. Less light requires it to use the generator more. How intriguing."
He then turned to D, "I am capable of copying the cannon's properties to yer sword. Yer sword would be able to lace itself with sunlight on yer command."
Spearhead gave the "gimmie" gesture with a claw at D, "I be needin' yer sword to make it work, though."

D stepped forward, as he flipped his blade around, his hilt pointing outwards towards Spearhead. D presented his blade, hilt first to the man. It felt strange giving up his sword, it had seen him through so many battles, it was another part of him. But he gave it up willingly to Spearhead in order for him to do his work.
D did have to wonder though, how Daggerfang had come about Sunbreaker. Didnt he say his father had created it for him? And yet here was another being separate from Daggerfang and his father or so it seemed, who not only had the technology but knowledge of it as well.
D took a few steps back and let Spearhead do his work. He released the catch on the belt that held his swords sheath to his back and offered that as well to the man. May as well give him everything he needs.

Spearhead nodded, and moved to the middle of the room. He started an incomprehensible chant, which escalated into a full blown spell. Both weapons started to drift by themselves, the cannon pointing toward the sword. It unleashed a beam of sunlight, completely slathering the sword in its powerful light and energy with one big shot. The sword's blade was now glowing with sunlight, and unharmed. The rest of D's weapons were also endowed with sunlight, same as D's main sword.
The weapons clattered to the ground, the sword's sunlit glow fading. Spearhead rubbed an eye and yawned, "That spell made me tired. Haven't done that in a day in age, haha."
Daggerfang had a smirk, and said simply, "That was cool."
Spearhead chuckled, "Now the sword has been endowed with sunlight. Careful not to touch it when it is active."

D carefully approached his own weapon. Wrapping his fingers around the hilt he picked it up and examined it. Focusing his energy D watched as the blade responded to him and lit up with sunlight.
D raised his left hand and placed it near the blade. The parasite emerged and opened its mouth only to stick its tongue out and taste the blade. A light singeing sound was heard before D pulled his hand away and the parasite spoke.
"Its the real deal. This guys something else." The parasite complimented Spearhead.
D nodded in agreement and returned his sword to its sheath, once he had willed it to be normal again. Donning his weapons once more D turned back to Spearhead. "Thank you. I will have to repay you for your kindness." D said to the man, with a slight bow.
"I have what i need." D stated to Dag.

Since Dag had lost his chest armor, but not the stabilizer harness, he rummaged through the pile and found a piece of armor. It looked plain black, but in the low light, it resembled a dark blue crystal. Dark white wisps floated just under the surface of the smooth, crystalline armor. Spearhead applauded Dag's choice.
"Ooh, the Crystal Soul Armor. If I know me armors, that one allows fer a special metamorphosis. The metamorphosis echos what ye really are. Plus it is tough and flexible. It fits ye well. The transformation adds on to other transformations, making them even more powerful."
Daggerfang just stared at the armor he was now wearing. He felt a buzzing feeling around his neck... and realized that Vincent's Rune Ring bindings were fading away. The armor overpowered the runes, making them obsolete. Now the demonic DNA had no restraints, and they were free to work their evil ways.
Even though Dag did not show it, he was completely disturbed, frightened, and anxious about the future inevitable transformation....

D watched as the ruins on Dags neck disappeared. D had to wonder just what that would mean for the near future, not only for Dag but for himself as well. After all wasnt the half Demon Vampire originally created to kill him?
D didnt want to have to cut Dag down, but if he did attack him he would. Even though D was starting to see the other male as a comrade and even more than that if they continued to stick together. A friend..
"Are you ready?" D asked Dag, before turning his gaze to Spearhead. "You wouldnt happen to know the way towards Bloodstorm would you?"

"This castle keeps shifting. I wouldn't know up from down in this place even if I tried."
Daggerfang quickly rummaged through the pile again, and picked up a helmet. This one was shaped like a dragon head, maw open. He put it on, fitting perfectly, The only thing that was exposed of Dag was his lower face. He saw out of the helmet's eye holes, which obscured his eyes because his eyes were glowing through it. The dragon helmet's lower jaw and teeth served as a neck guard.
He cracked his gauntleted knuckles, "Ready when you are."
Spearhead scratched his beak, "I can tell ye somethin' about the commanders that rule these wings. Once they die, their portion of magic fades away, eventually restoring a piece of the castle itself. That'll give ye heroes a kickstart when up against that punk. Them other heroes tried taking him on when not facing the commanders first, and they lost. Badly. Good luck, the two of ya."
-------------------------------
The disgusting mud dried up, and the fog cleared. Where was the masked male?
A white beak poked out of the muck. He was stuck in the mud!

Ivy saw the white beak and smiled, then walked over to the masked man and smiled with an insane laugh passing by her lips.
"well well well, it seems that our friend here is trapped in the mud. Shall we play a little game of mine?" She chuckled as a cheshire grin passed over her lips. She was definetly Alucard's child, it showed in many ways. Her insanity was passed down to her by her father.
Ivy then held her hands behind her back and then pulled out her sword she carried with her and started to cut around the masked man in the mud. The mud cracked and broke as the blade sliced through it like a hot knife through butter. Once she was done cutting around the man, she walked around him with her right hand down as it went cold. She was still smiling as she walked around the man and made an ice circle around him, the ice then started to become like a wall of thick glass as she walked on over and over her steps, making the wall higher and higher around the masked man.
"Let's see if a little water will help thaw you out a little shall we?" She grinned even wider, and when the ice wall was high enough, she took a step back and then jumped up on the top of one side and looked down. She then held her hands over the man and drops of water started to fall, slowly at first, then getting harder as she kept her hands over the man. Once the water was high enough for it all to be soaked into the mud, she waited until the man stood before she would rain hell on him.
((I'm hopeing that isn't over done.))

"Thank you for your help and advice." D stated before he turned to Daggerfang and nodded. With the armor on he looked more like the demon he was. D headed out of the room, taking one last look to Spearhead. Hopefully they would be the last Heroes he saw before his Kingdom was restored to him.
The minute D stepped out of the room he looked around the hallway, having a feeling that it would look, and feel different. A castle that shifted, this was going to be an adventure.

Radu was pretty much speechless. He watched Ivy's battle and definitely saw his brother in her when she laughed. He sighed and wiped the bloodsweat from his brow. He hated fire, he really did. "Ivy, if I may be so bold, wouldn't it be best to just finish him instead of torturing him?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MItternacht watched and kept the blue orb in her mouth. Soon if was finished powering up. She unleashed a heafy roar that made the orb vibrate, ripping smaller orbs from it. All of them headed towards the eyes at the same time as well as the area around them, blasting holes in the walls as she just tried to blast them all to shreds, nothing would be spared from her. She had to do her job, otherwise they would be upset, and that was something that even she feared.
Something dashed down the hall towards Mitternacht. It's large black form ripped through the air and it's jaws snapped shut around the beasts neck, tossing her into a wall after taking her by surprise. Low and behiold, November finally decided to show up, and she wasn't going to let this beast get away with hurting the people she cared about.
Mitternacht hit the ground hard, she could even feel some blood coming from where she had been bitten. The beast stood up and looked to the puny werewolf that was infront of her. She bared her fangs and snarled, for the moment, forgetting all about her other foes.
