"I am the blood that flows through your veins. I am the dark shadow that chills the hearts of men. I am the fury! Your hate - and your vengeance! I am! Your destiny!"

"Once I was strong. Powerful beyond measure, beyond imagining. It has been an age since I last fed... but I will return. I will live again. I will have my vengeance. Nothing will stand in my way. They will pay. Even if it takes an eternity, they will pay... For I am the dragon, Dracul! I am the Prince of Darkness! That... is my vengeance."

"Down here, you bitch!"

"You have exceeded even my wildest expectations!"

"No...please, stay! Stay with me!"

"Don't you dare call me that! EU SUNT DRACUL!"

"Such a sad tale is ours. A tale of heroes who strove to save humanity, only to lose our own."

"Soma Cruz: What? What has?"

"Soma Cruz: Then that means there will always be a need for a dark lord. All because I ducked out from becoming the next in line! Genya Arikado: Don't misconstrue me! Perhaps there is a need for the dark lord...But there is no reason at all for you to become the dark lord. Soma: But if it weren't for me, none of this would have happened! Arikado: You're neither a god nor a demon. You're only human. You have no chance at ever achieving perfection. Or are you saying you want to be the dark lord? Soma: No...Of course not."

"Soma Cruz: So those two are the dark lord's candidates... Celia Fortner: Correct. They were born at the same time as Dracula's demise. They are inheritors of Dracula's dark powers. Soma: But that's no guarantee that they can become the dark lord. Celia: They can. By shattering Dracula's soul."

"Genya Arikado: They want to resurrect the lord of darkness. Like some sought to do with Dracula. Soma Cruz: I guess they don't like the fact that I didn't become the "lord of darkness". Arikado: Not only that, they intend to create a new lord by eliminating you."

"Julius Belmont: I will...I promise."

"Soma Cruz: From here. I will set off to fight against my own fate. If I lose the battle...and I become reincarnation of evil, I want you to kill me."

"Julius Belmont: What is it?"

"Soma Cruz: I've got a favour to ask of you."

"Soma Cruz: Finally...I clearly understand...everything. I am...Dracula."

"Genya Arikado: The spirit of the creature you killed has just entered your body. You have the power to absorb the abilities of the monsters you kill."

"Genya Arikado: So it has awakened."

"Hector: Why did you unleash your hatred upon the humans? When you began slaughtering them indiscriminately, I had no choice but to disobey you."

"Not wanting to use the same story with a holy whip-wielding member of the Belmont clan was probably the biggest change. On top of that, Simon Belmont has a macho image, but this time we chose a more refined, aesthetic look."

"Isaac: Lord Dracula is gone, but his powers are still here in Valachia...Even you must realize..."

"Hector: Devil forging..."

"Isaac: Indeed. With this, the most forbidden of arts, a wisp of conjured matter can be transformed into a hellish devil! There are but two humans who possess this magnificent power: you and I."

"Hector: Yes, to our lasting shame. But I shed that evil power - never again will I use it."

"Isaac: Ah, but you will, Hector. And soon! You have no choice. Without it, I could crush you in an instant...but that wouldn't be very satisfying, now would it? You deserve a most gruesome fate for the humiliation you brought upon me 3 years ago. Bereft of the power of devil forging, you cannot hope to pursue me. That is why you will reclaim your powers, and thence, follow where I lead you...But in the end, the glorious vengeance you seek will not be yours - t'will be mine!"

"Hector: Wait! Isaac! Damn him. So be it. I must descend into darkness and reclaim that accursed power once more...Heed my words. I will hunt you down like the beast you are! I will have my revenge."

"Trevor Belmont: For one that served under Dracula, you seem much too weak. It's been said that the devil forgemaster's power rivals that of Death."

"Hector: Ah, so you are hunting for Isaac, as well, I see..."

"Trevor Belmont: As well? Then you're not...Wait...I recall there was another devil forgemaster. They say he betrayed Dracula and forswore his power. But that was 3 years ago during the war...Could he have survived? It cannot be..."

"Hector: Believe what you like. But answer me this. Are you not Trevor Belmont...The one who defeated Lord Dracula?"

"Trevor Belmont: That I am. Though, I did not fight alone. There were many brave warriors beside me. And your name, sir?"

"Hector: Hector."

"Trevor Belmont: Hector...I shall remember that name."

"Dracula: Ah, the traitor Hector..."

"Hector: Lord Dracula...You are reborn."

"Dracula: Why did you betray me?"

"Dracula: You side against me...for the sake of humans? Humans are not worth the air they breathe! I was simply cleansing the world."

"Hector: It is not your place to judge the worth of humans."

"Dracula: The powerful always judge the weak. The humans made their judgment of me, as well. Thus I sentenced them to extinction. Sympathy is merely a form of weakness. You betrayed me Hector...And for that, the punishment is death."

"Hector: I stand ready. I will not flee as I did before."
