X-Men : Apocalypse vs. Dracula



The story starts out on a Romanian battlefield in 1459, where Vlad Tepes is decimating the opposition. Soon it is revealed that Vlad goes by several other names, Vlad the Impaler and Dracula, while he proceeds to brutally kill some straggling soldiers. Yet, Vlad soon will come to the realization that he is not an unstoppable killing machine, as the fabled Riders of the Dark approach. Vlad’s troops are confronted with War itself, and are no match. So, as the out matched troops flee, Vlad is left to stand and fight. A quick swing from War, takes Vlad down, and a crushing blow from the giant blue foot of War’s master keeps him down.Jump ahead to London, 1897, and some detectives have found a dead body, with bite marks on her neck, and a bizarre tattoo. The tattoo turns out to represent lineage from the great Apocalypse (a member of the Akkaba clan), and the officers turn up dead. Someone is killing off Akkaba’s and the only one who can save them is their peerless forefather En Sabar Nur, who is not happy for being awoke.
