Count Dracula is
ushered into the presence of Doctor Sun and discovers Frank Drake,
Rachel van Helsing, and Quincy Harker are captives. Sun tells Dracula he has taken enough
of the vampire’s power to complete his plans and there is therefore no need for
Dracula to live any longer. Dracula is defiant, having outlived all of his
enemies for over 500 years. Sun orders his henchman Juno to attack and the battle
is on. It is fast and brutal, with Dracula still weakened. Then Harold H. Harold
and Aurora Rabinowitz enter, having followed Juno from Harold’s
apartment; Dracula is distracted by their arrival and Juno stabs him through
the back with his silver stake hand. Dracula tells Quincy that he should have
been the one to kill him and informs Sun that he is still an unworthy opponent
before dying and decaying into a skeleton. On Sun’s orders, Juno turns a
flamethrower on the corpse and reduces it to ash which he puts in an urn for
Sun to gloat over. The humans are put in a room where introductions are made
with Aurora encouraging them to try to rescue Dracula, though Rachel finds her
affection for the late monster absurd. With Rachel’s barrette (which is a combination
cross and stake), they pick the lock and Aurora vamps the guard so he can be
overpowered. They jump in Harold’s car and get away—which is what Doctor Sun
was counting on. He watches as Harker and company alert the US military who are
under orders from the President to cooperate with the vampire hunters; when the
soldiers arrive, Sun plans to use the stolen power of hypnotism to turn them to
his side. And the fate of the world will be sealed!
