I
Dawn of Revelations



(Simon making a speech to all heroes from Castlevania games)

Simon: As you all know, I used the Vampire Killer, which was recently enchanted, to bring you all here from different times. This is because, together, we can destroy the evil citadel of Castlevania, forever! Are you all with me?

(All show approval of the plan)

Simon: Good, good. We’ll wait outside to make the creatures inside get nervous, then strike when they’re vulnerable! Oh, and some of you have noticed that I brought Maria Renard at two different ages. That is on purpose.


. . .

(Cut to the day when they attack)

Simon: Okay, we’ve practiced this before, we enter and attack!

(What appears to be Sypha Belnades runs out of the castle)

What Appears To Be Sypha Belnades: No! Stop! It’s me…

What Really Is Sypha Belnades: Doppelganger!

Doppelganger: I wasn’t trying to trick you, I use this form on an everyday basis! Anyway, you’ve got it all wrong!

Simon: Ha! They won’t believe your pathetic lies! They won’t believe you when you say that I’m evil and Dracula is good! They won’t believe that my whip’s been enchanted for a long time, or that I was the shadowy figure that convinced them all that Dracula was evil! They’re too smart to think that Castlevania is some sort of haven for good monsters, and I’m only attacking it to steal all the money inside! And they won’t think you’re telling the truth when you say that I attacked a Castlevanian mother who had just had two daughters, turned one into a Doppelganger, and threw the other out onto the streets so that I could later trick her into attacking her birthplace. But, you’ll prove that you’re lying when you claim that you’re the Doppelganger sister, and the other is Sypha Belnades!

Doppelganger (still as Sypha, and grinning): Okay, you’ve got me. One question though, how did you know I would say all that?

Simon: Uh, well…I…sort of…um…er…okay! I’m evil!
(Simon pulls out his whip, which stiffens and crackles with red lightning)
Simon: Not that you’ll know for long!
(All post-Simon Belmonts pull out their whips, which do the same thing)
Sypha: No, I’ll do it. He took my parents, took my sister, and
manipulated my life. Plus, he’s why I slept in small garbage cans for a year. He will pay!
(Simon is hoisted into the air by a green magic glow. He is then zapped with green magic fire, green magic icicles, green magic lightning, and green magic energy bolts. He is then dropped down.)

Simon: I-I-I-I’ll be back! I-I-I’ll get the riches in that castle some day!

Doppelganger: Fat chance, Bell-brains! SLIME SHOT!

(A wave of purple slime is fired out of Doppelganger’s arm. It hits Simon, who runs away.)

(All cheer)

Trevor: So, we no longer have to fight Dracula. What do we do now?

All: …

(Death steps out from doorway of Castlevania)

Death: Here at Castlevania, we are always happy to have new residents, my boy.

Trevor: Uhhhhh, that’s an invitation to live here, right?

Death: Yes.

Trevor: Oh!

Death: I am sure that young Doppelganger and her friend, Sloga would gladly give you the grand tour.

Sloga (walks out from doorway, too.): Duh, I heard my name. What’s going on?

Doppelganger: Our worst enemies, excluding “Simon BelSinister”, are now on the side of good.

Doppelganger (now whispering): …and the girl of your dreams sent Simon packing!

Sloga (also whispering): Uh, I knew Gaibon was wrong about her! She’s not evil!

Doppelganger (to Belmonts and others): Now if you would all step inside, I’ll show you the wonders of decrepit, sentient, 17th century architecture!

II
Eve of Mysteries
(After the tour, Sloga talks to Sypha)

Sloga: Uh…er…um, hi, S-S-Sypha.

Sypha: Salutations, Sloga.

Sloga: I-I-I-I’ve w-w-watched you when I had spying-on-enemies duty. You’re smart.

Sypha: Um, thank you, Sloga.

Sloga: Duh…I may not seem like it, since I say “uh” and “Duh” a lot and can’t pro…pre…say long words, but I-I’m smart, too. I’ve remembered one-through-fifty of the Table of Elements!

Sypha: That’s extremely good, almost what I can remember of it, and I’m glad you think I’m smart…

Sloga: …and nice and good and perfect and pretty!

Sypha: ‘gasp’ Pretty? Y-you’ve seen what’s beneath this hood, haven’t you?

Sloga: Uh, no. Why?

Sypha: My hood and cloak are like skin to me. Without them, people ignore me, but look in my direction. They see a beautiful body, but care not of me. They fall in love with a husk, and they chase it. I am trapped in the husk. The skin beneath this is not my skin. My skin is this blue cloth. I am the blue cloth.

Sloga: …uh…er………oh! I get it! And I like you with the cloth skin on!

Sypha: Thanks!

(A red lightning bolt fires down. Sloga pushes Sypha out of the way. He sees that Simon fired it from a window. He beak-dashes up the wall and knocks Simon down. Sypha knocks him away with a force blast.)

Sypha: I didn’t think you had the guts to come back here!

Simon: I didn’t! I just didn’t think you and your mutant skeleton boyfriend had moves like that!

(Runs off)

Sypha: My boyfriend?

(Looks at Sloga)

Sypha: It’s an interesting concept, but I’ll have to look into it. Bye!

Sloga: B-b-bye.

(Sloga falls over and comes apart)
III
Denouement of Illusions

(Sypha is walking through Castlevania with Doppelganger)

Doppelganger: So, Syph’, if you want to stay here, you have to have two things, home and school. For schooling, you have two choices: the schools down in the human towns, or the built-in school up here.

Sypha: So, I have the choice between people that act like zombies or zombies that act like people?

Doppelganger: Eh, approximately.

Sypha: I don’t want to mess with real zombies, so I’m staying here!

Doppelganger: Woo-hoo! As for home, you can stay…

(Doppelganger touches the portal from Symphony of the Night, causing it to open)

Doppelganger: …my foster family!

(The non-Castlevania 3 Doppelgangers are there.)

Doppelganger Father: Ah! Our little girl! I assume that the being next to you is that long-lost sister you talk about?

Doppelganger: You’re right, Daddy!

Sypha: Daddy? Daddy? Did you just say…

Doppelganger Father: Welcome to this family of intellectuals!

Sypha: Something that I shall not complain about any more?

. . .

(Doppelganger’s room)

Doppelganger: So, did you enjoy your stay?

Sypha: Mostly, but something in my mind feels…strange…it’s like my mind wants to remember something, but something inside is stopping it!

Doppelganger: Hey! I’ve heard of something like that! It’s a curse! Just work hard at remembering!

Sypha: I…I… I remember! My parents! They raised me! They were ghosts, but they raised me! When that strange figure…

Doppelganger: …Simon Beljerk…

Sypha: …suggested I battle vampires, he made me forget Mom and Dad!

(suddenly, two ghosts appear, one male, one female)

Sypha: Mom! Dad!

(crying, she runs and hugs them)

Mrs. Belnades: Sypha, our little girl…

Doppelganger: …And Doppelganger. You can’t forget me!

Mr. Belnades: No, we can’t! Remember how we used to visit you every week?

Sypha: Hey! Mom! Dad! We still haven’t introduced you to Doppelganger’s foster parents!

Mr. Belnades: Oh, we’ve met!

Doppelganger: Okay, I know this is a big, emotional, mandatory-for-all-fiction moment, but mom-who-I-consider-my-mom-more is making brownies, and she knows how to make ones ghosts can eat!

Sypha: Hmmm…sugary, unhealthy pastries made from the unhealthy product of the cocoa beans of Africa…why not this once? Wait for me!





So, any comments? Any suggestions? (Picks up fire extinguisher) Any flames?

 

[DittytheDitto]

Hello? Anybody there?

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

This isn't a chat room. People don't reply in real time. Give people a while.

Also, please. Characters have personalities for a reason, it'd be nice to see those stuck to in fics.

 

[DittytheDitto]

I apoligise, Blackjack. I'm actually not much of a Castlevania person. This spawned from me getting slightly interested in Castlevania and wanting to make a crossover in my mind with a cartoon I made up, then realising that Dracula is good in Creep Kids and bad in Castlevania. I don't really play the games and get aquainted with the personalities. I really just take something already existing, then twist and warp it until I've got original characters. On the bright side, I stick to the personalities I created...which is pretty good, right? Right? Please, I'm not even a teen, yet! This is my first written fanfic! I'm sorry! I'm not trying to make you feel bad for me, you had a logical argument! I just can't out-debate those! I surrender!

 

[DittytheDitto]

Oh, and, uh, Blackjack, it might be much more enjoyable if you don't think of it as having anything to do with Castlevania. If people like you think of it as generic, it seems much better!

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

If they *are* original characters as you say, why not MAKE them original characters instead of trying to shoehorn them into existing roles? And if you aren't familiar with Castlevania, why in cheese are you trying to write a fic claiming to be based off it?

And don't double post.

 

[DittytheDitto]

Well, er, I...I sorta have a habit of...well...creating original characters best when I have characters to twist and warp into original characters and a fansite got me interested in Castlevania and more-or-less gave me an understanding of it and when I tried to twist it into a crossover with my second-closest-to-original idea (I was a foolish K-3 grader) I sorta realised that they had a character in common and I had to explain away the moral difference in Dracula (See parenthesis 1.) and I got carried away and...and you seem to honestly think I have even a mild understanding of the beserk workings of my imagination! You have made one mistake in this, sir, and that's it!

And I won't double post, anymore. Thanks for that.

 

[Reed]

Your sentences are a lot more coherent than most pre-teens seem capable of, which is nice to see. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your spelling or grammar, and you should be proud of that.

You say that your original characters spawn from existing characters, but end up as something completely different. That's fine. If you have a starting point, then it is easier. When you're a writer, you take a lot from your influences. That said, if you do 'twist and warp' these characters, as you say, perhaps you should consider giving them different names and removing references to the original source. A Castlevania fanfic could just as easily become an original vampire hunting story.

Anyway, keep it up. If you're not even a teenager yet and already writing fan fiction, then it's a skill that stands only to grow.

 

[DittytheDitto]

Thanks, Squall. I can't really remove the connections to Castlevania because parts of the plot rely on it being Castlevania. I also like your 'ahem' complements. Oh, and I admired Blackjack's methods and opinions (they're mostly my own!), even if he did make me nervous.

PS If you think Castlezania is weird, wait until I write down the Mario Universe's chaotic in-my-mind-only fanfic Toadstool 2! It has a clone of Peach and Geno and a skeletal Koopa ghost and Sora from Kingdom Hearts and...uh...never mind! Giving too much away! Bye!

 

[Reed]

I also like your 'ahem' complements.

Sure thing? I meant it more as advice and encouragement. There are things to improve, as Blackjack said, but I think that you have potential.

PS If you think Castlezania is weird, wait until I write down the Mario Universe's chaotic in-my-mind-only fanfic Toadstool 2! It has a clone of Peach and Geno and a skeletal Koopa ghost and Sora from Kingdom Hearts and...uh...never mind! Giving too much away! Bye!

Hmm, clones. Does that mean that Belome is involved? Not sure how much more twisted he could get. Why is Sora there, though? If it were a Final Fantasy or Disney world, then I would get it, but Mario isn't even on the same system. I'm just a little wary of crossovers.

 

[DittytheDitto]

Okay, okay. I'll explain the plot in depth! First of all, Belome was merely my inspiration. In one version of the plot, he was in, but not now.
It all begins when TEC (Paper Mario 2) gets uploaded into Mushroom Castle. He ends up creating a phlebotoniumic photocopy (clone, for short) of Peach. He names her Toadstool 2. However, Toadstool acts a bit...off. She calls TEC "dad". She hangs upside down from trees. She gets herself a pet Chomp and a pet Piranha Plant. She throws water balloons at the drop of a hat. This weirdness is only enhanced when she finds a reality-warping scroll in the attic and somehow activates it. She now controls reality.
She also makes some friends. She meets Geno, who I give star-related powers (i.e. heat power). He's also portrayed as a bit fastidious and orderly. She also meets 'trumpet' AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER! DUPLICAAA SHELLYYY! (no relation to anything in, around, or involving the Pokeverse) She is the girly-girl of the bunch, in a way. She's the one who likes cute animals ("awww! It's a werewolf! They're so cute!"), and actually cares about what she wears. However, she's also a horror-obsessed skeletal koopa ghost who Toadstool gives horror powers (Remember Jack Skellington's Limit in KH2? That's the sort of power Duplica has!). When I say horror-obsessed, I mean that she knows the differences between any Goosebumps book and it's episode by heart, has memorised the lyrics to every song from Nightmare Before Christmas by heart, and does a song-and-dance every October 1st (I pour a little me into most of my characters!). She's also the reason Sora ended up in the plot. Y'see, a "Walkie-Stalkie" of hers fell into a multiverse warp. It was anyone's guess where it was coming out. She talked into it's corresponding "Stalkie" and found that she had reached the Destiny Islands! After some conversing and reality-warping, Toadstool 2 got Sora into the Mushroom Kingdom. Of course, every fiction world is fiction in the others, so any Toad, Goomba or Koopa that played Kingdom Hearts recognised Sora, and Sora knew all about the world he was in, because how else would he spend weekends back before his world's plot began?

The villian is 'static''white noise'
Mysterious Cloaked Figure: I have intercepted Master "Ditty's" transmission! Do not worry, Squall. I am not a villian. I am a former hero, and I merely wish you to know what those foolish characters do not. They are shadows of worlds, created by Imagiworld's greatest magic. They are not the real beings of which they bear the names and forms of. These worlds are known to your 'hmhmhm' "real" world as fanfics. They can never interact with the true worlds they loosely mimic. That is all you shall know until the next post of Master "Ditty". Soon, you will know who I am. Oh, and Master "Ditty" would like you to know that he thinks his concepts would be better as webcomics. Karru!


Later: March 14th:
Mysterious Cloaked Figure: Does no one want to post here? Does no one even know of this forum thread? Will I be doomed to rot my wooden shape in cyber-limbo, just as I once did in a child's mindscape? Say, you do need to suffer to write poetically!
