While on a mission to search for General Cross in Romania, Allen is beseeched by several villagers complaining about a "vampire problem". That night Allen is attacked by a number of Akuma. Lavi and Bookman join Allen to chase them off, but Allen temporarily loses the use of his left eye that can see Akuma. The next night they go with a group of villagers to question Baron Arystar Krory at his castle and suspect that he is a vampire after he attacks one of the villagers.
