Plot
Plot
A struggle between light and dark, from three centuries back, is about to ensue. The parties involved are Michel and Albert, the two vampire hunters representing light, and the vampires representing dark. In the year 2006, vampire hunters Michel and Albert arrive at an unnamed village in France, and rescue a 12-year-old girl named Caroline who witnessed a couple of villagers held hostage by the vampire sarcoma. After rescuing the villagers and Caroline, the vampire hunters proceed into the castle to destroy the remaining forces of dark. Although the forces of evil reveal that they created Michel and Albert to kill themselves, they became afraid of death and tried to stop them. The Hunters are in fact Dhampyrs (half-vampires), foreshadowed by their glowing eyes. The outcome is a pyrrhic victory for the forces of good; as the forces of evil are stopped, the vampire hunters decide to let the rising sun end their own lives as well. Six months later, Caroline pays her respects to the vampire hunters at their graves, glad that she is alive, by putting one of their guns in front of one of their graves, stating that "her heart shall remember all.... That day, that moment, and what happened", before her summer hat flies away to the camera to end the game.

- 1.Dissoltisi gli incantesimi egli cade a terra in delirio, durante il quale si manifestano i segni del ravvedimento: Caroline, da lui scambiata per Sophie, è la prima ad accorgersene, e chiede agli eroi di risparmiarlo. Subito dopo si sente una detonazione: a sparare è stato Michel, che però non ha mirato contro Raoul, il proiettile è infatti conficcato nel pavimento. Albert e Michel ripongono quindi le pistole, mentre Raoul, che ha ripreso a connettere, mostra ormai chiaramente di non odiare più nessuno. Gli eroi infine lasciano il giovane facendogli capire che gli è stata data la possibilità di redimersi in quanto è ridiventato un essere umano.
