A family runs away from a blonde haired man and his army ready to kill them. The blonde haired man accuses the family of being vampires and commands his guards to kill them. The guards slice through the father, Boris, as his little girl watches with horror. Her mother pushes her off a cliff into the river below to save her.

Yoh and the boys have been staying at a deserted town. Ryu and Tokageroh head to the theater to watch Dracula now playing. It scares the hell out of Tokageroh, who flies out of the theater. Suddenly, a real vampire appears behind Ryu and asks him if he wants to know what a real vampire is like. Ryu picks up a stick and smacks the vampire in the head. He laughs and the vampire on screen and the one in the theater simultaneously disappear.

Sharon and the girls have joined up with the X-Laws since they have no intention of becoming Shaman King. Their mission is to help all the people who Hao has targeted. And so the X-Laws have decided to blockade the town Yoh is staying in. After all, they refused to join them once before, they have no other choice now. Millie isn’t ready to watch as her precious Lyserg gets hurt in the process and runs through the barrier to find him.

Amidamaru and Bason track down Tokageroh as Ryu is still recovering from his bite wound. Ren isn’t convinced it was a vampire… more like a Shaman Hao sent after them. Millie and Lilly enter and inform the boys that there is no way a vampire would target Ryu. Vampires only target beautiful girls like herself - or maybe Lyserg. As she speaks, Ryu stands up. He has red eyes, looks possessed, and attacks tries to attack the girls. Horo Horo freezes him before he gets to them, just enough to contain him. Lyserg then tells them that in his country, an author named Bram Stoker wrote a book called “Dracula.” Whoever’s blood Dracula sucks will become a vampire. The priest of the church explains that Bram Stoker was modeled after a real person, Vlad Tepesch, a feudal lord in a small Eastern European country during the 15th Century. To protect his country, he skewed his enemies and displayed them outside for his enemies to see. After his death, the people who feared him dug up his grave to make sure he was dead, but the coffin was empty…
Yohmei again asks Anna to take the book to Yoh. She refuses. Yohmei decides that Manta will be the one to pay for the trip and she quickly agrees to go.

Ren asks Yoh if he thinks the X-Laws may be able to help them get Ryu back. Yoh thinks that even though Hao isn’t doing the right thing, he doesn’t think that the X-Laws are either. Lyserg still ponders joining the X-Laws and runs out to meet them. He asks why they are there. The leader responds that Yoh and co. are being targeted by Hao, and they couldn’t just leave them. They came because they were worried. Lyserg asks how they can defeat the vampire in the town. He tells him that in order to do so, he must become stronger. He cannot hold back, but must use his entire power, even if that means the lives of his friends or his own.

Back in the church, Ryu bites Horo Horo. Evil Horo Horoattacks the girls, but Lyserg captures him. He slowly tightens his grasp and starts his Big Ben attack. Yoh runs over to stop him as Ryu recaptures Horo Horo. Yoh is really mad now. He asks if Lyserg just tried to kill Horo Horo. Lyserg admits he did because if they become vampires, they will not be able to defeat Hao. That is their priority. Infuriated, Yoh reminds him that saving Horo Horo is their priority. The boys then go after the head vampire, who turns out to be the priest who has just led the girls to safety… um, inside his Oversoul. He calls to Boris, who promptly drives his sword through the man and tells him he doesn’t need him anymore. Yoh, Ren, and Lyserg show up, and Lyserg is slightly disturbed that Boris could kill his own man like nothing. Boris explains that Damayaji was a mere human whom he despised. He also exists for Hao.

Ren holds up garlic and asks if vampires dislike them. Boris all but laughs at him as he comes close and asks who would be afraid of garlic and a cross. Lyserg attacks, but Boris dodges and ends up behind him. He bends down and to the horror of everyone, bites Lyserg.
