  In the corridor they detected reactions, and that they were making an appearance, and they turned off all the lights, and hid away, and silently waited, and Eisenberg checked his watch and realized it was at the same time the last visitations occurred, and he watched the scientists silently activating and checking equipment, and what was occurring about the zones, and he watched them desperately reacting and one whispered in another scientist’s ear, making the scientist look surprised.

  While the ghost formations emerged he realized they somehow looked different, and their features altered, and looked confident, and as though they were about to do something, and watched a scientist’s face turn dramatic, making him wonder what the hell was going on, and if they had put their foot in it again, and he stood staggered waiting for something to happen.

  He slowly sensed something there was different, and it sent a chill through him as he felt they were in great danger, and when he thought of what could occur he realized there was nothing they could do, and his eyes for no reason fell upon a brightness through a crack in the door, and he moved closer, and saw bright ghostly figures shifting about, and that they were turning solid, and he watched the scientists check stuff as they monitored everything.

  He saw the two strange ghostly figures doing something and shift away along the corridor, as though they were somewhere they could not recognize, and had different surroundings, and he suddenly saw they had bright red eyes that were glowing, and tried to grasp what they were.

  There was something that he just could not grasp and they moved and did things far differently than anything he had seen, and at times they shocked him and the scientists with their lethal appearance, and they could not grasp what they really were, and he sensed something far more powerful behind them, and that they were obeying something.

  For a moment he saw a change in their ghost figures as they entered the chamber with the tombs, and he rushed out the room with the scientists, and watched horrified scientists in the chamber with the tombs race out the opening, and he heard them explain what happened when they removed the wooden stakes from the two vampires creatures.

  When they reached the opening of the chamber with the tombs, Eisenberg watched the two ghostly vampire figures scream as they approached the large central tomb, with the supernatural being, and he watched them remove what looked like a stake or something from its heart, and leapt back, and they watched its massive shape rise out of the tomb, and he wondered what the hell it was, and felt its powers and fury, and it viciously altered its shape and its powers increased, and it shifted into a dark region at the back of the chamber.

  At one point it altered into a mass of a strange red energy that exploded into a frenzy of activity, doing things, and he watched it alter into a far different formation, with horror and vengeance.

  He knew it would get out the chamber, and realized there were only two entrance points to the chamber, for it to get away from its hideous confines, and Eisenberg tried to find a place to shift over to, and he wondered who the hell had managed to confine it there, and he watched it alter into a large black flying demon creature, and it shifted up into the attic, and the two vampire creatures followed it.

  In the dark sky over the mansion, in the room next to the chamber, they watched them vanish into distant black clouds, and Eisenberg realized it was going in the direction of New York.

  Epilogue

  The King of the Vampires

  Out of the blackness of night a vampire creature shot through the dark clouds like the Grim Reaper and swooped down and landed on a pointed mountain peak high over the world.

  Amidst awesome darkness its black formation formed into a humanoid creature as it visualized its first appearance thousands of years ago, and it realized it had forgotten its supernatural origins, and it was mysterious and obscure, and it had memories of the Carpathian Mountains, where it believed something occurred.

  For the first time in its existence it saw its obliteration and violently shuddered and its shape altered as it almost lost control.

  The world still seemed unrecognizable and it was staggered by the hidden dangers to it and it monitored its formation and considered how recent occurrences could possibly have occurred, and the humans, which it fed on, had ways of destroying it, and they had destroyed most of its vampire creatures, and they had been turned into ashes after hideously being destroyed.

  It instantaneously changed into a bat formation and leapt up into the air, and raced away towards its castle, buried away in an immense wood, hidden away from discovery, and it entered the trees at an unknown unexplored region, and it shifted into its long black shadows like a strange black ghost formation.

  It contemplated the real dangers to its survival and eternal life and it began to contemplate how it could survive.

  Its supernatural species was so ancient it could not believe it had a beginning.

  Memories of the strange human creatures swirled through its thoughts, and their villages and armies it had destroyed in wars, and their strange folklore and rituals mystified it, and it recalled what they had altered into, and the ways they used to destroy the other vampires creatures.

  It had been contacted by unknown humans by an unknown form, of supernatural origins, and it had chosen not to make contact, and it had not entirely grasped their extraordinary powers, with an unknown extraordinary technology, and it had been lucky as its castle was barely visited by them and it knew they feared it.

  It had always had vague memories of it being trapped on the world, as a strange celestial object lost out in space, and it realized it had to fight to survive further than it had done before, and it wondered if it could, and it thought of escaping from the vicinity and discovering somewhere else.

  The moon shifted overhead above the treetops as it formed a monster shape creature as it flew through the trees, and it watched the castle emerge through the trees ahead, and it suddenly sensed something, and it took comfort in the moon’s existence with its familiarity, and it resembled a stellar sight it never grasped.

  Its strange shadows shifted about the lower trees below in the moonlight, probing out everywhere, and it studied everything in its surroundings, expecting hideous encounters, and it thought of all the ancient wars and deadly encounters it had won.

  In the trees at the front of the castle it landed hard and instantly formed into the most deadly hideous supernatural monster it had ever contrived and propelled itself forward and smashed through the trees and its body adapted to its new form and formed more powerful legs and razor-sharp claws.

  Something strange paralyzed it, and it could not break free, and it detected a form of energy, an energy formation it never recognized, and it felt it withdrawing energy from it, and it used the remains of its energy to alter into its human formation and saw humans appear from the castle, with a strange technology it never realized existed, and watched as they surrounded it, and it tried to look like one of them, and show it was one of them, and the wood and strange beings vanished, and it went into a dormant state.

  Prologue

  New York Dracula

  A monster black shape shot out of the dark night over New York and shifted through black clouds like a monster Grim Reaper and swooped down and landed on top of the Empire State Building and stood balanced high over the world.

  It reformed into its humanoid Dracula formation as it recalled its reawakening and ancient memories, and memories from thousands of years ago, and its supernatural origins, mysteriously lost in blackness, and yet it still had memories of the Carpathian Mountains, and what it believed could have occurred there.

  It recalled its death at its Transylvanian castle and the strange humanoid beings that killed it, and its realization before it died that they were not the humans it fed on, and for the first time in its existence it had seen obliteration, and it violently shuddered and altered its shape and stood examining the colossal civilization sprawled across its front, and going below.

  The world was unr
ecognizable now and even though it was staggered by the hidden dangers it knew it could survive and it considered how the occurrences could possibly have occurred to transform the world, and humans, which it fed on, and it thought of its vampire creatures.

  It swiftly changed into a bat formation and leapt up into the air and shot away towards its hideout, buried away, hidden away from discovery, and it flew into the black clouds, and shot in and out of clouds, like a black demon.

  Again it contemplated the dangers to its survival were immense and began to contemplate how it could survive.

  It was of supernatural origins and so ancient it could not believe it had a beginning source.

  Memories of the strange way it reawakened went through its thoughts as it tried to grasp something it had missed, and it considered how it got there, and how they had revived it, and its thoughts of the ancient villages and armies it had destroyed, and their folklore and rituals.

  The world mystified it, everywhere, and left it staggered, and it wondered where the unknown humanoids had gone, and wondered what they had done with it, and it realized they had some unknown knowledge of the supernatural, and it had not entirely grasped their extraordinary powers, extraordinary technology, and it had been lucky.

  Its vague ancient memories of being trapped on the world, and it being a strange celestial object lost out in space startled it, and it realized it had to fight to survive further than it had done before, and it wondered if it could, and it thought of escaping.

  The moon shifted out of the clouds as it shot down into a desolate wood, and it shifted through the treetops as it altered its formation to a black flying monster creature, and it watched a structure emerge in the trees ahead, and it landed near it and instantly formed into the deadliest hideous supernatural monster it had ever contrived and propelled itself forward and it smashed its way through the trees, knocking them down and smashing them into pieces, and formed powerful legs and razor-sharp claws.

  II

  The Celestial Orb

  The artifact looked deadlier than he had ever seen it, and was pulsating with energy, which looked and sounded like it was on the brink of a colossal explosion, and Eisenberg, Kurt, and the paranormal investigator timidly shifted into the Extraterrestrial Investigation Center research chamber.

  At a closer investigation they stood confused as they believed something was occurring as scientists were nervously standing around it monitoring it, and they spotted vigorous activity all about the place, and they started working like crazy activating and checking things, and they realized that they had done something, and that it was the reason that they wanted them there, and they took them over to the side and seated them.

  The artifact altered shape and appearance at a frenzied rate, of which there was little to indicate the outcome.

  At times he thought he saw a shape of something inside it.

  It looked powerful, and deadly! Perhaps unstable! By their previous investigations and what the scientists claimed he was sure they gave an energy force, and that they were feeding it energy that it used, and he realized it was perhaps the reason it could not do anything and had been dormant, and he realized the dangers of its revival, and if it exploded, and he wondered why the scientists were so confident about it.

  With horror, at the side of vision, he saw a group of scientists and technicians move in with new equipment, and they started arranging it around the energy bubble, and he gasped, and wondered what they were doing and dealing with, and for a moment thought he saw something inside it shift.

  Famous scientist in and rushed into places and he realized something really was going happen this time, and he watched someone film it, and what might be an incredible historic occurrence, and the discovery of it, and he realized from nearby scientists that it might prove what it was, and he watched someone else filming it, perhaps for the media, which some scientists were considering using if they wished it to be known.

  The scientists occasionally gave detailed explanations of things they believed were occurring, and watched it creating magnificent optical effects, making things distort, and it looked like it could rupture the fabric of space, and played with it, with properties of altering and suspending it.

  Scientists started carrying out complex experiments on it, and they showed detailed information accumulated.

  Suddenly computers and equipment all over the chamber burst into life, and he spotted one go over millions of special sequences and he studied it, and he was sure they had got control of the artifact somehow and had it carry out some functions.

  The sheer magnitude of it left him staggered and he expected something to occur, especially from its lethal reactions, and he could not believe it could hold so much energy and not explode.

  The center turned bright and expanded, and it became louder and brighter, and the floor shook, and started knocking everything furiously around, knocking scientists about, and many fell over, and a sudden shockwave blasted through the whole building, throwing everything about, and it died away.

  The chamber turned silent, and they started to recover, and he noticed some scientists dramatically activating equipment and he checked where they were staring and saw the artifact had turned solid, and was open, and saw something inside, and he tried to identify it, but could not, and saw it was alive and hideously staring out at them.

  The Celestial Orb

  Chapter 1

  The Magnetic Phenomena

  “They’ve discovered signals from something believed to be of unknown origins …” a scientist explained, vaguely.

  Eisenberg accidentally gasped loudly, through his teeth, as he sat eating his breakfast, in the mansion dinner room, knowing they had detected something incredible, sensing something new was emerging, and he wondered what the hell could be there, and wonder if the place could become so dangerous that he would have to move out.

  From what Kurt said he knew they had been using some new form of technology, and he tried to recall more of what he had said, and realized that they used the technology at different locations in an investigations, and wondered where, and what had been detected.

  “Tell us of the extraordinary magnetic phenomenon found!” another scientist nearby asked the scientist.

  Something about their reactions confused Eisenberg and he wondered what the outcome would be!

  “A form of powerful magnetic influence, or even something of that nature, has been detected … We’re trying to check it, with what we have available …”

  “So whatever it is – it has incredible power …” the second scientist answered. “At what location was it discovered?”

  “We were examining one of the shafts going straight through the mansion … We were checking the lower region … To see if there is anything there – and detected it.”

  “What could it be off …? There has been a lot of equipment put here …”

  “Well we have not fully checked that possibility … We need more time … Whatever it is it’s really powerful!”

  Eisenberg tried to grasp what could be there, with fascination, realizing someone could be doing something there now, and he tried to recall who had been near the lower region, and what the hell could produce such an effect, and realized the amount of technology that was now about and realized he would have to leave it until they investigated it further and got further information on it.

  “It could be a natural occurrence of course …” the first scientist stated, and looked through some of his documents and checked findings on things.

  “The magnetic field of the Earth for one thing …” the second scientist continued, making them wonder what he was suggesting.

  “Even so it would beneficial to check this disturbance and record it for science!” the first scientist replied, slightly smiling, and Eisenberg spotted a sly smirk he gave, and wondered why he had done it.

  He continued eating his meal and wondered what he thought was there anyway, and watched the first scien
tist’s eyes light up when he noticed something in the documents, and Eisenberg realized that he was unsure of what he had and that many scientists exaggerated a great deal of their findings and much of it was hard to investigate, and if they were exaggerating things.

  The first scientist seemed to spot the second scientist mocking him, and replied, “Incidentally, when we increased the power of our equipment the fluctuations of energy became more powerful, and some of the equipment barely functioned …”

  Eisenberg sat confused wondering what he was talking of, wondering what the hell he was trying to suggest, and recalled him from his earlier work and that he had come out with some exaggerated findings.

  The scientist saw his reaction to him and began talking to the other scientist about the technology and archaeology.

  Eisenberg realized he had ways of examining what was below the building, and wondered if he thought anything existed there.

  “Magnetic methods of prospecting detect underground features by locating magnetic disturbances they cause …” he continued. “Forms of radar detection can be used – but also with inaccurate and little results …”

  Eisenberg wondered if they could have examined inside the vampire chamber at the top floor, where the tombs were, before they had entered it, and if they could check all the hidden places around the mansion.

  The second scientist in the end turned to the first scientist, and replied, “Surely sooner or later something will emerge that can scan more accurately, deeper, and faster – and from airplanes, helicopters, and drones – and far better than what’s around, and confidential stuff – which might be used by the military …”
