It is now 1893, and it's been five years since the accidental death of his lover Anna Valerious and Dracula was defeated, Gabriel Van Helsing and his companion Carl are joined by his long-lost brother Jonathan to uncover a deadly plot for a possible invasion of the Romanian region of Transylvania. However, while investigating it, they discover the unknown realms of cross-universes hiding in the secret chamber but then accidently releasing the cross-multiverses, causing the clones from an unknown faction to invade Transylvania. One week on, the Van Helsing brothers and Carl found out that an unknown faction from another world is about to attack their mainland European home country. They are identified as the Galactic Empire, a totalitarian dictatorship established under Emperor Palpatine from an out-of-this-world galaxy. The Empire is co-lead by malevolent entity known as the Witch-king - who returned to conquer the whole of Romania following his defeat on Middle-earth. To defend their home country, Helsing and Carl collaborated with Aragorn, the king of Middle-earth whose world also destroyed by the destruction of Order 66, to help out and save Romania once more.
