((D'aww, now you all should be happy I almost killed you all :3))
Alucard steps down and places a hand on his unconscious daughter's hand, looking down at her with a genuine smile on his face.
Seras looks back to Alucard as her arm changes into shadow essence, "Well, in the 1980's he went by Alucard and wore a red suit with a long brimmed hat, which was also red." Seras looks back at araceli as the shadow essence changes into Pip once more.
Alucard looks up.
"...That sounds like my father, indeed."
Winry leaps inside, running on all fours towards Icarus.
"Icarus! What the hell was that!?"Hilda runs in behind Winry and embraces Icarus with Winry, in a powerful hug.
They hear a loud crack in the ground behind them as a large, stone gargoyle steps in and stares at them. He then looks at the collapsed half of the castle, a deep sigh escaping his stony mouth.
"How wonderful.. what a mess you all made of this place... oh, master's castle, ruined! It will take weeks to properly clean this up. Well, anyway, it is good to finally see you once more, Master Alucard."Alucard stops and turns around, his face lighting up as he sees the gargoyle.
"Galio!" "Hmm?" "Fancy seeing you in here! I thought you were gone, with Father being dead..." "Dead? Oh no, Master Alucard. The Count's vampiric magic flows within me - if he is dead, I am dead. Clearly I am alive, as you can observe. Therefore, Count Dracula is alive," the gargoyle says with an elegant manner, as a butler wood. Alucard just stares at him in disbelief.
Bartimaeus, however, does not take kindly to Galio's appearance.
"What's that hunk of stone doing in here? I think it should be placed in the ground, where it belongs." "Perhaps you should return to nonexistence, where you belong." "It's your fault I was trapped in a bottle, you asshole." "Master Anthony was capable of encasing you alone. He simply chose me, the Gatekeeper of Castle Dracula, to accompany him. But now that Master Anthony is missing, I shall have to return to my duties and begin repairs immediately."Alucard steps in and tries to stop them from going into a full brawl, but to no avail. Bartimaeus and Galio quickly hit each other around, throwing each other around the castle.
