Dan lay on the ground, badly damaged by Death's surprise attack.
"Agghh... Afro..."
Afro walked over to Dan and knelt down next to him.
"How does it feel? Hmm? Feel that pain? Yes thats right, you can only feel a small amount if it, due to your robotic nature... You WILL feel pain... You will feel the true extent of the pain I felt, always being number two to you and Flame! You with your resplendent armor, always taking the lead while I was the bumbling comic relief... But no... No more..."
He stood up and clasped his hands together, concentrating hard. he began to emit an evil black and crimson aura
Dan could only watch... "A...Af..ro..."
"DAN! YOU WILL FEEL WHAT IT IS TO BE A MORTAL HUMAN!"
He then slammed his palm onto Dan's chest and soething seemed to pulsate from Afro's hand into Dan. Black energy crackling all over Dan's body from Afro's hand.
"GAH!" Dan cried out in pain as something evil filled him up, causing him pain, until he passed out.
"Yeeeesssss.... Should I dispose of them..? They are not yet dead..."
Death asked, raising his Scythe
"Hold-"
Afro said, raising his hand to stop Death.
"Master..?"
"I wish for Dan to feel the pain he has caused others, whilst not understanding true humanity. He shall feel Haman pain... Throw him out of the castle. Have my horses leave him at the nearby town."
"Then what, dear Master... Shall we do about the other?"
Afro walked over to Flame's unconscious body
"It would be a waste to just kill such a valuable soldier no? Dan has been sentenced to his fate, but this one... When I was still that pitiful human, he was the only one who seemed to care about my pains."
"Master...? This... Level of... Mercy is so unlike thyself, and unbefitting of the Dark Lord!"
"Are you questioning my ability as master of this castle, Death?"
Afro's eyes glowed red.
"No... Most certainly not... I beseech thy forgiveness... Master..."
"Hm..." Afro smiled.
"Take him to the Doctor... He has shown immunity to vampire transformation due to his nigh completely mechanical body, but he is still a human in the end... The Doctor surely can find a way to vampirize even a mechanical bodied Human such as this... Flame... You should be thankful... You get to live by my side... You will make a perfect Left hand... A perfect servant..."
Afro then laughed maniacally as he walked to his throne and sat down upon it, leaving Death to teleport out of the room with Flame and Dan's bodies.
"As you wish, mine Master... Lord Dracula."

((What do you guys think of that? If theres anything you dont like I can tweak it.))
NOW BACK TO THE PRESENT-
Dan and Morder were walking through the castle still, having fought a large array of demons and undead unholy creatures, leaving nothing in their wake. Morder continued to use his mysterious vial of black liquid to unlock magically sealed doorways.
Eventually they found themselves at the entrance to the top floor. they could see the throne room floating high up in the distance, directly in front of the moon, its staircase leading down to a small tower like structure.
"This is it.... The final battle..." Dan said
"Yeah..." morder responded.
