My script for Castlevania: Simon's Quest

Act 9: Cross the river

(Next day in the morning, the church members were setting Simon and Laura off at the village entrance.)

(Simon thanks Father Ignatius for his supplies and kind hospitality. Laura stood by his side in silent.)

(After bidding farewell, Simon and Laura rode on the horses and off to the next mansion.)

(They traveled in the forest until sunset. Laura noticed the sweat on Simon’s forehead.)

Laura: (Hesitated, but still asked.) Simon, are you alright?

Simon: (Wipe the sweat.) Yes, I am fine.

(Laura did not seem to believe in that answer, but she did not ask anymore.)

(Simon knew where his pain came from. The curse had worsened. The wound on his back is getting worse.)

(Simon knew he did not have much time.)

Simon: Laura, how long until we reach the next mansion.

Laura: We should reach the bridge by tomorrow after noon. The mansion is close after we cross the bridge so we should be there by tomorrow sunset.

Simon: I can’t wait that long. Do we have a shorter route?

Laura: I don’t think so…

(Simon felt little panic, then he saw a white beast among the trees.)

(White Wolf was watching him from afar.)

Simon: What about that way?

Laura: Simon?

(Simon turned and went to the direction where White Wolf was. He could not see White Wolf anymore, but he kept on going.)

(Laura had no choice but to follow.)

(Behind all the trees lay a small fishing port. Many fishermen were fixing their fish net.)

(Simon saw a mansion afar.)

Simon: Laura, is that the mansion we are heading to?

Laura: It is. But there is no way we can get there from here.

(Simon got off from his horse and walked toward one of the fishermen.)

Simon: I want to go to that mansion. Who can sail me there?

Fisherman: No way. We can’t get there.

Simon: You will not go unrewarded.

Fisherman: This is not the problem. There are Mermen around that mansion. They will crush our boat and drown us by pull us down in the water. We can’t risk that.

Simon: I am going to there to destroy all the demons so you can live in peace. Who can give me a hand?

(Fishermen looked at each other with uncertain.)

Simon: (Showed Vampire Killer.) I am Simon Belmont, the hire of this legendary whip Vampire Killer. Whoever sail me across the river will earn my protection.

(Fishermen quietly discussed to each other. One of the Fishermen stepped out.)

Fisherman: I will sail you across the river, but you will have to pay me if my boat is crushed.

Simon: Fare enough. Let’s go.

Laura: Simon, I am going!

Simon: No, you stay here. I need someone to watch over the horse and supplies.

Laura: The horses are fine here! Please, let me go with you!

(Simon looked upset.)

Laura: I will not do anything! I will only wait out of the mansion. Please! Let me go with you!

(Simon felt pity to her and stopped opposing.)

Simon: Fine. Come with me. But you can only wait with this gentleman. Got it?

Laura: I will do so.

(Simon and Laura got on the small boat. Fisherman sailed them toward the mansion.)

(Many shadows showed under the water.)

Fisherman: There they are! The Mermen!

(Simon took out a bottle of water and poured it into the river.)

(The Mermen that were closed to the boat turned into dust and disappeared. Many other swam away.)

Laura: What was that?

Simon: Holy water. No demons can last among it.

(Simon put some holy water around the boat. No mermen attacked since then.)

(When they were closed to the mansion, a large cloud of shadow was rushing to their boat.)

Simon: What is that?

Fisherman: Killerfish! I never see them working together like this!

(Many Killerfish disappeared one by one as they draw closer to the boat. But some of them made it and crushed the boat right through.)

Laura: The water is coming in!

(Simon put some of his clothes at the hole, but it did not help much.)

Simon: We don’t have much time! Hurry!

Fisherman: I am sailing as fast as I can!

(The small boat kept sinking as they got closer to the mansion. Many demons swam around and waited for the boat completely sank.)

Simon: we are 10 feet to the shore. Jump in the water and swim!

(Simon poured a large among of holy water into the river, then he grabbed Laura and jumped into the water. Fisherman followed right behind him.)

(No demons were able to draw close. But Laura was terrified and kept screaming. Simon had to pull her with all his strength.)

(The three made it to the shore before the demons could get to them.)

(Laura seemed frightened and could not say anything.)

Fisherman: My boat! My boat is…gone…

Simon: I will get you a better one after we got out of here. Now, let’s get this over...Ooch!

(Simon kneeled down in pain. Laura was spooked and came back from terror.)

Laura: Simon! Are you alright?

Simon: I am…I am fine. Stay away from me.

(Simon stood up and pushed Laura away from him. The pain of his back worsened.)

Laura: Simon, you are in no shape of battle!

Simon: I will be fine!

(Simon turned his back to Laura and entered the mansion.)

 
Act 10: Truth of the curse

(After defeated uncountable demons, Simon’s clothes were heavily soaked by more than water. His back was so hurt that he could not stand on his feet.)

(Many demons appeared and surrounded him. Simon could barely hold on to his weapon.)

Simon: Is this…the end of me?

(Demons attacked. Simon closed his eyes.)

(A white light flew by. All the demons turned into dust.)

(Simon opened his eyes. White Wolf was standing there.)

Simon: You again…What are you doing here?

(White Wolf touched Simon’s back with its nose. Amazingly, it eased Simon’s pain tremendously.)

Simon: What kind of magic is that?

(White Wolf pushed something with its paw. It was another oak stake.)

Simon: You got this ready, are you? Yeah, let’s get this over with.


(White Wolf turned and started walking. Simon followed.)

(White Wolf leaded Simon to a dark, creepy door.)

(Simon entered the room and walked into the darkness.)

Simon: Come out and face me!

Death: So, you still alive. Impressive.

(The darkness lifted and Death showed himself to Simon.)

Simon: It can’t be…I killed you!

Death: Nothing can truly kill Death. Not even the legendary Vampire Killer. You can only force me to rest, but after a short rest, I will always come back.

Simon: Are you behind the curse?

Death: The curse…Ha ha ha…If I ever put a curse on you. You will not last for over 3 days. Unfortunately, my curses will not stand your divine blood.

Simon: Then it got to be someone more powerful than you…Count Dracula?

Death: That would be save to say you are right.

Simon: How can a vampire ever stand a powerful bloodline of vampire hunter?

Death: The curse will not directly kill you. All our Master did was connect your injure with the darkness of this world. Not even the most powerful bloodline can stand the darkness of human heart. Their dark desires were dripping into your blood through your wound. Slowly clouding it, pollute the holiness of your blood. Therefore, it is not the curse that is killing you. It is the darkness of this world that is doing so. If you want to heal you wound, you will have to clean up all the dark desire first. But the darkness of human is deep. Before you can clean up the darkness, your wound will claim your life. Ha ha ha…

Simon: You know what? I find another way to lift the curse. So give me the part in you robe!

(Death’s cape opened up and showed the Crimson Crystal Ball under it.)

Death: So you are collecting our Master’s body…No matter what do you after, I will not allow that.

(Simon and Death battled. Death aimed Simon’s back and caused Simon to hurt again. Death earned the upper hand.)

Simon: (Kneel for pain.) Ooch! My back is…burning!

Death: Now, this is your end.

White Wolf: Woof!

(White Wolf suddenly appeared behind Simon. Death was shocked and freeze.)

Death: You…In the name of our Master! Are you not…

(Simon threw the oak stake to Death. The oak stake pierced into the crystal ball and took it out of Death’s cape.)

Death: Ahh! You…Belmont…

Simon: Your role is over, Death. Go back where you came!

Death: He is still…on your side…No matter…As long as we now know…He still alive…

(Death turned into dust.)

(Crushed crystal ball fell to the ground and exposed an eyeball. Simon took out the bag and contained the eyeball.)

Simon: Who is He? Who was he talking about? Ooch! My back!

(Simon’s back is hurting again. But he still had to leave the mansion.)

(When Simon walked out of the mansion with wavering steps, Laura rushed to him.)

Laura: Simon! Are you OK?

Simon: I am…fine…Don’t…touch me…

Laura: No you are not! We got to get you to a doctor!

(Laura helped Simon to walk to the shore. The fisherman was sitting in a boat again.)

Simon: This boat…

Fisherman: This bran-new boat floated to the shore. It had a cross and a letter in it, said that it is a thank-you for sail you across river. Was this from The Church?

(Simon shook his head. Sweat dropped when he did so.)

Laura: Simon destroyed the source of evil. The demons in the river should be disappeared.

Fisherman: I can tell. They all turned into ashes. Please, ride on this boat. It is bigger than my last boat so Lord Belmont should be able to lay in it.

(Laura helped Simon got to the boat and helped Simon to lay down. Simon panted in pain.)

(Fisherman started sailing to the other shore. Laura was checking on Simon.)

Laura: Simon, what‘s wrong? Did you get hurt?

Simon: No…Don’t…touch me…

Laura: Stop saying things like this! You need help! Let me see your wound!

(Laura pulled off Simon’s shirt and touched the wound.)

Simon: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

(Simon painfully jumped up, stood by the side of the boat. The boat was seriously wavering. Laura and Fisherman were both freak out.)

Simon: Don’t…touch…me…

(Simon lay back and fell into river.)

(Laura screamed but was afraid to jump into river. She could only watch Simon sank under water surface.)




So, just explain why the divine Belmont blood can put under a curse. Also, am I the only one who think Deathis cool?
