Through the incantations and ceremonies held by the evil souls who wished to bring upon the end of the world, Dracula had once again been resurrected, and it was only a matter of time before his army of the undead began to terrorize Transylvania as such a curse required. As the theme goes, Simon Belmont, the great-grandson of Soleiyu, donned his battle gear and took command of the Vampire Killer and mystic sub-weapons in preparation for another war against Dracula and his dark forces. Simon fought his way through the monster-inhabited yet beckoning countryside and arrived at the Count's daunting castle. Once inside the house of horrors, Simon negotiated his way through six torturous castle sections before arriving at the dreaded heights of the estate, the castle keep where many a battle had been fought. Dracula, who had been defeated by Belmont warriors time and time again, was waiting intensely for this moment, for he would finally get to extract revenge on the family after a one hundred-year wait. Though the throne room appeared to be empty, Dracula would soon emerge from his coffin and launch an assault in the only way he had ever known.

The powerful Dracula fought with all of his might and inflicted upon Simon a number of debilitating injuries. But in the end, as had his ancestors, Simon Belmont stood victorious over the fleeting Dark Lord, for whom this was just another setback. The pained Belmont warrior picked himself up and escaped from the castle and to a nearby mountain cliff, where he watched on as the ghostly manor crumbled to the ground. Though he thought his trials were over, Simon would soon learn that they were only just beginning.
