Opening  
----------------
In the good old days, 
people only knew peace and prosperity. 
But no one thought that perhaps, the days of unease would not come 
Behind prosperity and peace, 
There is invariably evil. 
Those who would reject the people's prosperity, 
and corrupt the peace.
Those who would resurrect the powers of darkness, 
and recreate this corrupted world have gathered.
With arbitrary smiles, 
they eagerly await the recreation..
One hundred years later,
the evil one is again reborn. 
Primarily preferring to act in the night.
He can alter his form into a bat, wolf and turn into fog.
He sucks the blood of young women, 
to preserve his eternal life. 
Master of Demon Castle, 
god of malice,
Count Dracula has returned.

Richter and Maria vs Dracula (both endings edited together)

Dracula: Defeated by the blood of Belmont.
Dracula: This could be fate...
Richter: Die! This world is no place for you to live in!
Maria: It's because you were bad and mean to everyone!
Dracula: I am not resurrected through my own power.
Dracula: I am resurrected through human desires.
Dracula: For power, they steal. And power becomes the only justice.
Richter: That's just your wishful thinking!
Richter: People seek, pray, hope at the same church!  
Richter: Never must they meet evil!
Maria: I don't know about that. You say some harsh stuff. 
Maria: But bad things are bad things!!!
Dracula: That's the reason I am here. Do you not have any desires?
Dracula: You humans develop according to desire,and come to me 
after loosing faith.
Dracula: Can you really call me evil?
Richter: But humans can't steal for power.
Richter: If there is something precious, honored or loved they can steal
Richter: Evil will eventually perish!
Dracula: I see. Maybe so.
Dracula: As long as there are greedy humans, I will return.
Dracula: Just remeber that.
Dracula: It was quite enjoyable.      
Dracula: Descendant of Belmont, we'll meet again!
[Dracula leaves and cackles with insane glee]
Maria: What's so funny?!
[The castle starts to colapse while Richter and Maria trys to escape]
