Introduction Narrator: A long time ago, people lived in peace and harmony. No one noticed the looming shadow among them.
Their senses clouded in darkness, evil ate away at their souls. Driven by madness they made a pack with the devil...
In the late hour they came together to call the powers of darkness with their sinful blood - to save them from their mortal existance, expecting the dawning of a new world!
After one hundred years evil was once again made flesh. An immortal creature of the night, it can assume the shape of a wolf, a bat or fog. Feasting on the blood of humans.
Dracula, lord of darkness, master of the devil's castle, walks among us.

Game: Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles When: First starting the Game
Annette is Kidnapped (A mysterious priest appears before Annette)
???: How lovely... A fitting girl for Count Dracula. Now, come to me.
(Annette steps backward) Annette: No! I'll never submit to your master. I'd sooner die here! ???: Ha! So much the better. Besides, once you marry my lord, "death" will lose all meaning for you. Annette: ... Richter... ???: Hold a moment, Shaft! Shaft: Of course, Master. What brings you here? Dracula: That young lady has a certain "connection" with my old foes...the Belmonts. Bring her alive. I have a most amusing idea. Shaft: By your command. The Master bids you sleep, girl.
(Shaft puts Annette to sleep)
Dracula: We must prepare a proper welcome. Belmont...
???: Such power this girl holds... Such purity... A fine gift she'll be for the Master! Richter: You son of a... What are you doing to her? ???: !! That whip... Belmont! How can you be here? Blast it! ...Very well.
(Shaft vanishes) Richter: Wait!
(Richter approaches the girl and holds her) ???: ...
(The girl stands up) Richter: ...Are you awake? ???: M-Mister? Who are you? Richter: I'm Richter Belmont. Don't worry. That man is gone. I paid him back for hurting you. ???: My name's Maria. Maria Renard. ?! Are you the man Annette was talking about? Richter: You know about Annette? Where is she? Maria: We were together when they brought us here, but now... Richter: I see... Maria: Don't worry, I'll help you! Richter: ...With what? Maria: Well, we have to beat the bad man! Richter: Ha! No, no. Just...be good, go home, back to your mom and dad. They're worried about you. Maria: ...No, they know I'm safe with you. Richter: ?! Maria: They can see it from Heaven. They were killed. Richter: ...Oh. I-I'm sorry. Maria: So I'm definitely coming with you! Richter: No, that's out of the question. It's too much dangerous-- Maria: Hey, I said it, and I mean it!
(Maria summons her Qing Long as Richter dodges) Richter: (shocked) What was that just now? Maria: ?? Richter: "Such power this girl holds..." So this is what he meant... Maria: Um, okay! So... Now I get to come with you! Richter: You just won't take no for an answer, will you? All right. Fine. Come with me. Maria: Yay! Richter: But promise me you'll run if things get too dangerous. Maria: All right. I promise.

Please, it's a simple matter. I get what I need, and you benefit as well. And then together, you and I shall reign over this world. Annette: If it means becoming a savage, I... I would sooner kill myself. Dracula: As you wish. However, what exactly makes me a savage? If my existence itself makes me savage, is that not the result of this world? Are not all the people of this age savages as well? If so, I should be a shining beacon for what this world wants me to be: the one to lead them. Do you not agree? Shaft: My lord count.

Dracula: It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is a greed of humanity which calls me back. And thus, by might, I rule. Might becomes the one and only justice in this world! Richter: Of all the self-serving claptrap! The same basic faith drives all people to seek, to come together, to move forward. That surely can't be an evil thing! Dracula: And yet, here I am. Do you not have any desires? Richter: Well... Dracula: It is by your desires that you humans prosper. And it is your faith which has ruled you. Considering that, can you really call me evil? Richter: But people cannot be ruled by power alone! The sacred, the honorable, the loved... Those things can rule humanity. Something evil will eventually fall to ruin! Dracula: I see... Perhaps you're right. (laughs) We shall meet again, blood of Belmont!

Maria: Annette! Annette: Oh, Maria!
(The two meets each other) Annette: Are you all right, Maria? Maria: Yeah. I'm just fine because I have the same vampire hunter's blood flowing in me as that man, Richter. I think he's fighting someplace else right now. Annette: Richter's coming. Maria: Oh, my. Looks like you hoped it wouldn't be me who came to save you. Annette: Oh, no. That's not what I meant. Thank you very much, Maria. (smiles) Come on, let's go home. Maria: Not yet! There's still something I have to do. You go back without me. I'm gonna beat that vampire to a bloody pulp! See you! Annette: Maria!

Annette: For heaven's sake, she can be as reckless as Richter!

Castlevania Rondo of Blood -- Bonus Maria and Annette
Dracula: Once again, the blood of Belmont has defeated me... Perhaps this, too, is part of my fate. Maria: It's your fault. For being so mean to everyone!
(The cat growls) Dracula: It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is a greed of humanity which calls me back. And thus, by might, I rule. Might becomes the one and only justice in this world! Maria: I don't understand what that means! No matter how complicated you make it, a bad thing is still bad thing! Dracula: So long as greedy humans exist, I shall be reborn. That's all you need to remember. (grins) You proved amusing to me. We shall meet again, blood of Belmont!
(Dracula laughs at Maria and fades away) Maria: What's he think is so funny?!
(The castle starts to collapse) Maria: Oh, it's crumbling! Everyone, run for it, quickly!
(Maria escapes from the castle with her familiars)

Final Stage: Bloodlines (Richter rushes to Dracula's Throne Room and points straight at him)
Richter: Dracula. Die now, and leave this world! You'll never belong here! Dracula: Oh, but this world invited me. Your own kind called me forth with praise and tribute. Richter: Tribute? You're a thief. You steal men's souls, their freedom... Dracula: Freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you truly here by choice? Richter: All I'm here for is you. To hell with your heresy! You're nothing but a blight on mankind. Dracula: Ha! Mankind. (throws the wine glass) A cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins!
Introduction Narrator: Count Dracula had risen, with the aid of the dark priest Shaft, to menace humanity once again. The legendary vampire hunter Richter Belmont, stood against him, and at last brought him down.
However, four years later, on a glaring full-moon night, Richter mysteriously vanished.
Maria Renard set out to find him, but knew not where to begin. It was then that fate intervened.
Castlevania, the castle of Dracula, rumored to appear once every century, suddenly materialized from the mist, as if to show her the way.
Meanwhile, powerful forces struggled for the soul of a man named Alucard, he who had once fought alongside Trevor Belmont against his immortal father, Count Dracula himself.
To purge the world of his own cursed bloodline, Alucard had submerged his vampiric powers and fallen into what was meant to be eternal slumber. But now, he awakens to the cackles of evil and cries of the innocent.
The eternal battle of Good and Evil has come full circle once more. Dracula's castle beckons for you...
...and no man can say who will emerge victorious.
