Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow / Entrance of the Castle / Entrance

Background Music: Sacred Cave, Confrontation, Premonition

(Soma is lying unconscious)

Soma Cruz: Oh...Mmm......
Mina Hakuba: Hey, looks like he's coming to.
Soma Cruz: Where am I...? WHOA! What... happened?
???: So you've decided to join us... Did you have a pleasant nap?
(Soma turns to the man wearing black shirts)
Soma Cruz: Huh? Who the heck are you?
Mina Hakuba: It's OK, Soma. His name is Genya Arikado...
Genya Arikado: Skip the introductions. I have a few questions, and I need answers now.
Soma Cruz: Go... go ahead...
Genya Arikado: Why have you come here?
Soma Cruz: Why? Well, Mina and I... Hang on, where are we?
Genya Arikado: We're in Dracula's Castle.
Soma Cruz: Huh? Dracula's Castle? Are you telling me we are in Europe?
Genya Arikado: No. We are inside the solar eclipse.
Soma Cruz: Inside the eclipse?! You're insane! Do you think I'm a fool?!
Mina Hakuba: Soma! Listen to him, he's telling you the truth!
Soma Cruz: What the heck are you talking about? Give me an explanation!
Genya Arikado: Well, it's like this... Huh?! An enemy!
(Mina screams as Arikado defeats the enemies by unleashing his Soul Steal)
Genya Arikado: Damn! Protect the girl!
Soma Cruz: Yaaaaaaaah! Go back to where you came from!
(Soma defeats Winged Skeleton and gets its soul)
Soma Cruz: Wha... what was that thing?
Genya Arikado: So it has awakened.
Soma Cruz: What? What has?
Genya Arikado: The spirit of the creature you killed has just entered your body. You have the power to absorb the abilities of the monsters you kill.
Soma Cruz: Wh... why... why would I have that power...?
Genya Arikado: You have gained the power. Now you must go to the Master's chamber.
Soma Cruz: For what reason?
Genya Arikado: Do you not wish to return with your friend to your own world?
Soma Cruz: Of course I want to go back.
Genya Arikado: Go to the Master's chamber. Then, you will understand everything.
Soma Cruz: But I can't just leave Mina here like this.
Genya Arikado: No need to worry about her. I'll put up a protective barrier. But death will most certainly find those who stay here too long.
Soma Cruz: The... then I...
Genya Arikado: Yes. Only you can save her from a painful death.
Soma Cruz: And you, what will you do?
Genya Arikado: I, too, have things I must do within these castle walls. Go. Set forth! Both your own life and hers are at stake.

(If you stay behind a little longer)
Mina Hakuba: ......
Genya Arikado: Go. Set forth! Both your own life and hers are at stake.

Soma Cruz: ?!

(Soma sees Graham is stabbing Yoko with a knife)
Graham Jones: Damn! I hate to be interrupted!
Soma Cruz: YOKO!!
(Graham vanishes and Yoko collapses)
Soma Cruz: Are you alright? If you're OK, say something! Anything!!
(Yoko keeps herself steady)
Yoko Belnades: I'm... al...alright. Thank you... for rescuing me.
Soma Cruz: Graham, that bastard! What has he done?!
Yoko Belnades: He has... absorbed this castle's power... and he's gotten much stronger. Oww, aaah... My plan has... failed...
Soma Cruz: Save your strength! There's no need to speak!
Yoko Belnades: Be... cautious of him... But d-don't... overexert... yourself...
(Yoko faints)
Soma Cruz: What?! YOKO!!! Oh, she's just unconscious... She's still breathing.
(Arikado enters)
Genya Arikado: I underestimated the amount of power he acquired...
Soma Cruz: Don't just stand there mumbling! Yoko's in bad shape!
Genya Arikado: Go! I will see to her wounds.
Soma Cruz: I can't just leave her like this! She's my friend!
Genya Arikado: Do not worry about her. I believe there are other things you need to do.
Soma Cruz: Graham went to the throne. What's there? What are you hiding from me?!
Genya Arikado: I cannot say. You must go there yourself. And if you don't... you will lose Mina... and Yoko as well! Their fate is in your hands!
Soma Cruz: Damn you! I...don't like your attitude, but I don't think you're lying. I feel as if I'm being manipulated. I don't like it, but I'll do as you say. But if we ever escape from this castle alive, I want to know everything.
Genya Arikado: Fair enough. Now be on your way.

Background Music: Premonition
When: After defeating Graham (If Soma has not equipped the Flame Demon, Giant Bat, and Succubus)

(The trio is transported back out to the top of the Hakuba Shrine)

Soma Cruz: Have we returned?
Mina Hakuba: Yes, there's no mistake. We've made it home.
Genya Arikado: Excellent... You've done well.
Soma Cruz: Hey, what happened to the others?
Genya Arikado: No need to worry about them. They'll be here soon enough.
Soma Cruz: And the castle... is the castle still in the eclipse?
Genya Arikado: Yes. It awaits the coming of its new master. Someday, someone will assume the form of Dracula again. When that time will be, I do not know...
Mina Hakuba: What's wrong, Soma? We made it back home. Why the sad face?
Soma Cruz: I feel like the castle is still calling out to me... Maybe the castle is where I truly belong...?
Genya Arikado: ...
Mina Hakuba: You're imagining things. We just escaped from there. You are home...
Soma Cruz: Yeah, I hope it's just my imagination...
Genya Arikado: If you are ever summoned by the castle again, you can deal with it then. For now, you should rest.
Soma Cruz: Yeah, you're right...
Mina Hakuba: Yes.

AoS-Graham Dialogue 2Graham Jones

AoS-Soma Dialogue 2Soma Cruz AoS-Arikado DialogueGenya Arikado

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow / Top Floor (Throne Room) / Soma's Revelation

Background Music: Battle for the Throne, Dracula's Fate
When: After defeating Graham (If Soma has equipped the Flame Demon, Giant Bat, and Succubus)

Graham Jones: Nooo! this cannot be!!! Does this mean that I'm not Dracula?!

(Graham vanishes away in death. The Throne Room is suddenly filled with black vortexes of energy)
Soma Cruz: Wha...what's this? Whoa, something is... flowing into me! NO, WAIT! PLEASE... STOP! NOOOOOOO!
(Soma screams. He now has red eyes and a dark look on his face)
Soma Cruz: Finally... I clearly understand... everything. I am...Dracula. This is like a bad joke. Come out, Arikado. I know you're here.
(Arikado enters the room, surrounded by a red aura)
Soma Cruz: Why did you force me to awaken!? I was just fine as I was.
Genya Arikado: Yes, you weren't supposed to come to this castle in the first place.
Soma Cruz: Then why did you make me come here!?
Genya Arikado: Your soul and Dracula's magical powers are one and the same. No matter what we did, this day was destined to come. That being so, I decided to awaken you somewhere I could use MY powers.
Soma Cruz: Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand.
Genya Arikado: Because you are now one with him, an evil spirit must be flowing into you.
Soma Cruz: Yes. It started not too long ago, and it's slowly filling me up... I'm doing all that I can to keep from being consumed by it.
Genya Arikado: Once you have finished absorbing all of it, his powers will be yours. You will then become the evil count... I do not want to let that happen!
Soma Cruz: Neither do I!
Genya Arikado: I know. That is why I chose the dangerous route.
Soma Cruz: The dangerous route?
Genya Arikado: The evil in this spirit comes from those who seek chaos and destruction. So we need to cut off the source of the chaos influencing the spirit.
Soma Cruz: Is that possible?
Genya Arikado: This castle is a product of Dracula's magic. It's a spiritual world. My point is this... a stream of chaos exists within this castle as well. There is a place where only you, Dracula, can go. That's where the chaos is!
Soma Cruz: I'll go, I'm not afraid... but what do I do once I get there?
Genya Arikado: You'll have to stop it using your own strength. You already succeeded in reaching the throne. I'm sure you can do it.
Soma Cruz: If it will make me myself again, I'll do whatever it takes.
Genya Arikado: As long as my powers continue to affect this place, the flow of the evil spirit into you will be slowed down. Go quickly!
Soma Cruz: I'm going... I appreciate your help...

Background Music: You're Not Alone
When: Final battle with Chaos

Soma Cruz: I'm finally here... I wonder if I can do this alone...

Mina Hakuba: You're not alone.
Soma Cruz: Wha...what?
Mina Hakuba: Everyone remaining in the castle combined their powers to contact you.
Soma Cruz: Does that mean they all know... that I'm Dracula?
Mina Hakuba: Yes... Arikado told us everything...
Soma Cruz: I bet they're all afraid of me...
Mina Hakuba: No, not at all! At first, we were shocked. But everyone believes you'll get through this. I'm going to send you a message from them now. Listen...

Background Music: Purification ~ Ending, Epilogue
When: After defeating Chaos (Less than 100% of Souls Collected)

Yoko Belnades: Hello, Soma. Congratulations. I've got another job that I must attend to, so I have to go now. When I heard that YOU were Dracula, I was shocked... I was also just waking up, you know. If you think about it, though, everything turned out OK. Ha ha ha... ... I'll never forget your strength and courage. And I haven't thanked you yet for rescuing me. So...thanks. You're like a younger brother to me. It was fun, and I hope we meet again. Goodbye.

Hammer: Hey there! Much obliged for your business at my shop. Back at the castle, I realized my true calling. Fighting's not for me. I think I'll quit the army and open up a shop sometime soon. Promise me you'll come. I'll give ya a good deal.
Julius Belmont: You fought well. When we fled the castle, I felt the power from Vampire Killer fading away. I don't know what that means. But I won't have to do anything for the time being. Farewell. May we meet again.
Genya Arikado: The path you took was the most challenging one. You did well. For God to be good, evil is an absolute necessity in this world. In the future, someone may follow again in Dracula's dark footsteps. At that time, perhaps we'll meet again. Farewell... In my mother's name, I send thanks to you.
Mina Hakuba: ...Wake up... Wake up...Wake...
(Soma's location is revealed to be in Mina's arms atop the Hakuba Shrine, away from the castle)
Mina Hakuba: Wake up... Wake up, Soma.
Soma Cruz: Uh, ungh...
Mina Hakuba: Soma! Thank god, you woke up.
Soma Cruz: Heard you folks speak. I was saved by you all again.
Mina Hakuba: Again?
Soma Cruz: Yes... I couldn't have won the last battle by myself. Everyone's kind words and encouragement led me to victory...
Mina Hakuba: Yes...
Soma Cruz: Remember, inside of me, Dracula's power lies sleeping. It's not evil, but... it's definitely changed me.
Mina Hakuba: It's OK. If anything ever happens again, everyone will rush to your aid.
Soma Cruz: That's right. I guess they will. Look, the eclipse has ended.
(The two watch on as the eclipse ends)

Mina Hakuba: Soma! Oh, thank God! I was so worried about you... Arikado told me that you would be okay, but I was worried. I thought you would never wake up.
(Soma stands up)
Soma Cruz: I heard everybody's voices... You saved my life...again!
Mina Hakuba: AGAIN?
Soma Cruz: Yes... I couldn't have won the last battle by myself. Everyone's kind words and encouragement led me to victory...
Mina Hakuba: I'm so glad that your experience didn't change you.
Soma Cruz: But it DID change me...
Mina Hakuba: In what way?
Soma Cruz: I'm a lot cooler now!
Mina Hakuba: Yeah... you HAVE changed. The old Soma would never have said that.
Soma Cruz: Remember, inside of me, Dracula's power lies sleeping. It may not be evil anymore, but, it's definitely changed me.
Mina Hakuba: It's OK. If anything ever happens again, everyone will rush to your aid.
