## Plot

### Part 1: Setup

The Episode Begins With Dialogue Similar To The Opening To Castlevania: Rondo Of Blood. As The Dialogue Talks About A Returning Evil In The World. Then Lightning Strikes Causing The Screen To Flash White As The Title Flashes In Followed By A Bloody X From The Akumajō Dracula X: Chi No Rondo (Rondo Of Blood Japanese Port) Logo. It's Nighttime In The HTF Park And Molly Is Walking About. Just Then, Someone In A Tree Sees Her. Molly Continues Walking As The Dark Figure Rips A Street Lamp Out Of The Ground, Molly Looks To See What's The Noise Only To See No One There. Molly Gets Hit In The Head By A Street Light, The Next Scene Sees The Figure As A Bat Carrying Her To A Medieval Looking Castle. The Next Morning, Jared Is Putting Up Missing Posters Of Molly With His Father Brandon And His Uncle Dylan. Brandon And Dylan Were Getting Hungry So They Went To Happy Tree Donald's. Jared Tried To Tell Them He Couldn't Do The Job Himself. But, They Were Out Of Hearing Range. Jared Continues To Post Missing Posters Until He Sees A Paper Fly Below His Feet. He Reads It And It Says "Missing Individual? I Know The Answers To The Disappearance Of Your Friends! If You Want More Info, Visit Me At The Dark Alleyway Between The Medicine Store And The Music Store On 77 Tree Boulevard. And If Your Name Is Jared Germain, This Meeting Is A Requirement. So You Better Be There!" Jared Was Confused Until He Flips Paper Over To See The Signature Of Bradley Culvert. He Then Goes To The Location And Peeks Down The Dark Alleyway And Sees A Door With A Single Flickering Light Above It. He Knocks On The Door, But No One Answers. He Then Sees Adam Pierce And Harry Dyke Up The Alleyway. Harry Dyke Remembers That Jared Got Him And Adam Expelled From School A While Back And Plan To Beat Him To Death. Jared Then Starts Furiously Pounding On The Door, But It Seems That All Was Lost For Him. That Was Until A Voice Spoke Up. Adam And Harry Told The Figure About Their History With Jared And The Figure Tells Them "You Should Know By Now, That Is My Cousin You're Messing With." Jared Thinks To Himself "Wait! This Guy Knows Me?! And Did He Say That I'm His Cousin?!" Adam Was Gonna Carry Through With The Beatdown Until The Figure Brings Out A Whip And Cracks It Against Adam's Face. He Then Uses The Whip To Grab His Ankle And Break It, Then He Cracks His Face. The Punks Were Moaning Around On The Ground While The Figure (Bradley Culvert) Introduced Himself To Jared. He Then Requests Jared To Follow Him And He Does As We Circle Wipe To His Office Being Dark Until He Opens The Door And Turns On The Lights, Revealing A Lot Of Weird Stuff Based On His Works And Missing Tree Friends. Bradley Talks To Jared About The Mysterious Disappearances Of Several HTF City Citizens Including Molly Thorn, Ryan Zerbinos, Giggles, Petunia, Xeba And Several Others, And He Had Came Up With The Conclusion That An Ancient Monster Old Folk Times Was Resurrected And He Was The One Behind The Disappearances. Jared Is Shocked That It Was Dracula Of All People Who Stole Molly And Bradley Tells Jared "Yep! And This Is Where I Want To Help You Rescue Molly. I Am An Experienced Vampire Hunter And I Will Help You Slay The Beast And Rescue Molly Before She Becomes A Vampire Too." Jared Gets Suited Into Trevor Belmont's Attire And The Two Get Equipped And Rush Off To MHS As We See Brandon (In Simon Belmont's Attire) And Dylan (In Alucard's Attire) Waiting Out Front. The Two Arrive As We Then Circle Wipe Into The Hunter's Diagnosis On The Monster In Question. Cheyenne Asks If This Was The Same Vampire Lumpy From All In Vein And Brandon Says "Yes! But This Version Of Vampire Lumpy Is Similar In Power To Dracula From Castlevania. He Also Has A Monster Army, Led By His Assistants Giggles, Who Wasn't Crushed Like A Soda Can As In That Episode And Is Actually A Vampire And A Werewolf Petunia." Zoe Asks If This Is The Midnight Hour Series And Xavier Says " Well, It Feels Like It!" Xavier Then Asks "At Least You Have Your Midnight Hour Armors, Right Jared And Brandon?" Jared And Brandon Says Yes As They Also Say That Xavier Has One To, As Xavier Remembers A Future Final Season One Episode Of Midnight Hour. Bradley Says "It's Getting Close To Night, We Should Attack Now Before Molly Dies!" Everyone Agrees As The Hunters Rush Off To Count Lumpy's Castle As We Fade To Black.

### Part 2: Tears Of Red Water

Day Quickly Turns To Night As We See A Shot Of Count Lumpy’s Castle As We See A Group Of Five Tree Friends (Molly T, Ryan Zerbinos, Xeba, Christian And Noumi) Tied Up In The Corner. Molly Asks "What Are We Doing Here?" And Ryan Z Says "I Don't Know, But Something Evil Must Have Kidnapped Us!" Xeba Says "Totally Not My Forte At All!" Christian Asks "Are We All Gonna Die?!" And Noumi Says "Let's Hope Not! I Can't Bear To Look At Myself Dead!" Molly Then Says "Hey Guys, Quiet! I Hear Someone Coming!" The Footsteps Ended Up To Be Giggles, But Now As A Vampire. Molly Is Shocked About Giggles Being A Vampire Too And Xeba Asks "Weren't You Crushed Because Of Your Frozen Blood?" And Giggles Says "Well, Not Really. It Was Because Lumpy Actually Didn't Put Me In The Refrigerator. As Stupid As That Might Sound, He At Least Has Some Common Sense For Me And Several Others. Those Being Petunia And Lammy." Molly Then Asks "What Are You Going To Do To Us?" And Then The Screen Flashes White As We Cut To The Hunters Fighting Monsters In The Castle As A Thunderstorm Happens Outside. Brandon Says "Were Getting Close To The Main Corridor! I Can Feel It!" Then Jared Asks "But Isn't This The Point A Boss Would Appear?" Suddenly, Before They Can Reach It, The Door To The Room Where Molly And Her Gang Were Slams Shut. Brandon Then Realises That It Wouldn't Be Castlevania Without A Boss. Then, A Shadow Figure Runs Out And Reveals Itself To Be Petunia, Running Into The Back Of The Gang. Petunia Says "Sorry Guys! I Was Trying To Rescue My Friend From That Evil Being Named Count Lumpy!" Bradley C Asks "Weren't You Supposed To Be Some Kind Of Werewolf?!" And Petunia Says "Well, That's Not True! I Wasn't Cursed To Be A Werewolf! I Was Just Running From The One Who Was!" Brandon Asks "Then If You Weren't Cursed To Be A Werewolf, Who Was?!" Suddenly A Voice Is Heard From A Distance And It Says "Damn It! It Seems Like Someone Is Trying To Stop Count Lumpy's Plan To Rule The World! I Won't Let That Happen! Well, I Would Say That If I Had Fucking Hands!" Petunia Then Tells Everyone That It Was Her Husband Who Got The Short End Of The Stick… Then, Werewolf Handy Walks Towards The Hunters And Stands Right In Front Of Them. Handy Says "Well, Well, Well! Looks Like We've Got Some Monster Hunters Trying To Take Down The Lord Of Darkness. Well, Prepare For A Fight You Will…" But Before He Could Finish His Sentence, He Gets Stabbed In The Back By Vampire Lammy. Petunia Screams In Agony As Lammy Says "Did You Really Think A Weakling Like Handy Would Fight You? Think Again!" Handy In His Dying Breath Says "Petunia… Before I Die… Take My Powers… And Help The Hunters Defeat The Evil Lord…" He Then Throws A Ball Of Energy Containing Handy's Werewolf Powers At Petunia And Petunia Becomes A Werewolf And Starts Fighting Lammy. Petunia Says You Guys Go Ahead! I'll Find My Way Back To You Guys Later! We Then Cut To Lumpy And Giggles With The Five Captants. Lumpy Asks Giggles "Who Do You Think Deserves To Die First?!" And Giggles Says "Well, Ryan Zerbinos And Xeba Already Have A Speckle Of Dark Energy Within Them, So It Would Be Useless To Do Them First. Let's Take Care Of Molly First, Just In Case Some Unexpected Guests Show Up!" Suddenly, The Door Gets Blown Down As The Hunters Arrive As Xavier Yells "Did Somebody Call The Maverick Hunters?!" Giggles Says Shit! Shouldn't Had Open My Mouth!" Lumpy Says "Well, Well, Well. If It Isn't The Maverick Hunter Society. You've Arrived Just In Time To See Your Friends Die! And Nothing You Can Do Can Stop Me!" Bradley C Says "Oh Yeah?! Well We're About To Bring The Fight To You!" And Brandon G Says "And We've Got Just The Weapon For You!" Brandon Throws His B-Saber At Lumpy's Chest And He Doesn't Feel Anything. Lumpy Says "Ha! You Should Know That Won't Kill Me!" Brandon G Says "Well! I Did Soak The Blade In Some Water Christians Use To Slay Monsters." Lumpy Says "Wait, What?!" As Lumpy's Insides Start Burning As He Says "Gah! What The Devil Is Happening To Me!" Bradley Says "Perfect Timing Too!" As They See The Sun Coming Up As Jared Then Says "Looks Like It's Sunrise For This Vampire!" Lumpy Screams As He Turns To Ash As Giggles Turns Back To Her Normal Self. Giggles Screams But Then Realizes That She's Not A Vampire Anymore. Molly T Says "Wait! That's It?!" Ryan Z Says "Well That Was Uneventful." Xeba Says "At Least Were Saved!" The Scene Then Cuts To All Of The Hunters (Plus Christian, Noumi, Xeba, Giggles, Petunia And Lammy) Watching Lumpy’s Castle Crumble As The Episode Ends.
