Vanitas no Carte

Ноэ отправляется в Париж на дирижабле, встречает вампира Амелию и сталкивается с Ванитасом, который исцеляет её с помощью Книги Ванитаса.

On an elaborately fitted airship kept aloft by "astermite", the vampire Noé Archiviste is bound for Paris where he hopes to assess the true nature of a legendary grimoire for his teacher called The Book of Vanitas. He meets a woman named Amelia Ruth, who is revealed as a vampire. Consumed by bloodlust, she bites him, poisoning his bloodstream. A man called Vanitas bursts in and uses The Book of Vanitas to reveal her true name, Florifel, which returns her to normal. Vanitas reveals that the grimoire removed the malady which is corrupting the names of vampires and causing them to become "curse-bearers" and go berserk. Later in the streets of Paris, Vanitas asks Noé to join him in his quest, but Noé resists and collapses in the street. (Source: Wikipedia)

Ванюс и Ноэ сбегают из тюрьмы, чтобы охотиться на вампира, сталкиваясь с угрозами со стороны Луки и Жанны.

Vanitas and Noé languish in jail following the incident aboard the airship until they are summoned by Count Parks Orlok. He plans to execute Amelia, but Noé offers to capture a curse-bearer vampire currently terrorizing Paris and use the grimoire to save them. Dante sells Vanitas information to location of the vampire, but Johann warns him that Lord Ruthven's bourreau is in Paris. Vanitas and Noé find Thomas Breneux, the vampire from beyond the barrier who is attacking Parisiennes. Noé immobilizes him while Vanitas uses the grimoire to temporarily calm him down. However, the vampires Luca and Jeanne, the Hellfire Witch, arrive and demand the grimoire, believing that it is being used to create the curse-bearers. Noé refuses and Jeanne attacks him with the Crimson Gauntlet, but Noé and Vanitas escape. Later, Vanitas reveals to Noé that the grimoire can be also be used to create curse-bearers.

Jeanne demands The Book of Vanitas, but she is suddenly attacked from behind by a huge wolf-like monster. His malnomen is Loup-Garou. Vanitas activates the grimoire to change Thomas Breneux back into his human form, whose real name is Bucolicus. Although almost incapacitated, Jeanne still wants to fight Vanitas, but Noé emerges from the shadows holding Luca prisoner. Vanitas then surprisingly kisses her and declares his love. Outraged, Jeanne grabs Luca and leaves. Meanwhile, Nox and Manet find Breneux dead. He was attacked by Charlatan, the vampiric monster who had corrupted his name. Following Vanitas' demonstration of the grimoire's power, Orlok grants a stay of execution of Amelia, who is assigned to work as a maid at Hotel Chouchou. Noé bites Amelia's arm to read her memories, and he sees a parade of demons and Charlatan. Dominique de Sade arrives and claps a chain around Noé's neck. She leads him towards a hidden doorway to the barrier within Orlok's facility and reveals that Lord Ruthven will be appearing that night at a masquerade ball. As they cross the barrier, Vanitas leaps after them grabbing Noé's hand and they emerge in Altus Paris, the vampire version of Paris. (Source: Wikipedia)

Suddenly, an eerie sound envelops the building activating a number of curse-bearers who begin attacking the other vampires, including two fiends who are the embodiment of Charaltan.

Noé attacks Charlatan, who realizes that Noé is known to him. In a flashback, Noé recalls when he went to live with Teacher at the de Sade residence where he met Louis and Dominique. As the years passed, Louis realized that he was a curse-bearer, and he carved wooden stakes for Noé to kill him, but Noé could not do it. Later, when their friend Mina was identified as a curse-bearer and sentenced to be executed, Louis killed her when she transformed into a vampiric monster. However, he also killed their other friends while consumed by bloodlust. Noé tried to return him to normal, but Louis bit him and began to suck his blood. Noé was only saved when Teacher arrived and beheaded Louis. Back in the present, Charalatan's black vaporous envoy offers to take Noé to meet Louis, but Vanitas appears and forces him to withdraw.

Naenia, Charalatan's envoy, demands to know Noé's true name, but Vanitas and Jeanne come to his defense. Naenia and the two fiends depart while the hall fills with curse-bearers created by the sound of the malnomen dissonance of the Beastly Orchestra. Dominique vows to assist Vanitas in his quest to save the curse-bearers, but when he and Noé depart, she is confronted by Veronica. In another area, Vanitas and Noé come across a young vampire named Catherine, who has transformed into monstrous curse-bearer and is sucking the life from her sisters. Vanitas offers her salvation, which turns her into dust. Suddenly, Veronica appears, and proceeds to attack Noé and Vanitas, suspecting that they are responsible for creating the curse-bearers. However, before she can freeze them to death, she is stopped by August Ruthven, who soon comprehends the situation and takes Noé and Vanitas under his protection. That night, Noé recalls Teacher's instructions are to understand the power of The Book of Vanitas, so although he does not agree with Vanitas' methods, he decides to continue on with the owner of the book in his quest.

In the home of Lord Ruthven, Noé and Vanitas share a tarte Tatin with their friends, Dominique, Luca and Jeanne. Luca is still angry about the kiss Vanitas shared with Jeanne, but Vanitas jokingly states that he is in love with Jeanne. He shows the telltale flower-shaped mark left by her bite on his neck, causing Luca even more angst. Jeanne suddenly grabs Vanitas and leaps out the window with him to confront his statement of love. However, Vanitas asks if she is a curse-bearer because of her bloodlust, and she admits that she uses medication to keep her urges under control. He offers to keep her secret under two conditions: she can only sucks his blood and she must calls him by his name and not just "human" because of the special bond they now share. Coincidentally, as Noé and Dominique see them return, Dominique tenderly bites his neck and Noé sucks blood from her hand, creating a bond between them. Later, Noé questions Vanitas about love, but Vanitas replies that he does not really know what it is. (Source: Wikipedia)

In his home at Castle Carbunculus, Lord Ruthven reveals to Noé and Vanitas that he believes that Charlatan was making an attempt to kill Lucius, the future Grand Duke of Oriflamme. Vanitas requests an audience with the queen whom he believes may be dead or no longer exist as she has not been seen for some time. Ruthven explodes in a rage and bans Vanitas from his castle and casts Noé and Vanitas back into the human world, confirming Vanitas' suspicions. Dante tells Vanitas that a Chasseur, one of the Church's anti-vampire unit, abducted a curse-bearer which had slipped into Paris and took it into their headquarters in the catacombs. That night, Noé and Vanitas steal the uniforms of two guards and enter the catacombs through floor of Notre Dame searching for the Chasseurs.

Noé and Vanitas realize that they must collaborate to defeat Fortis and the Chasseurs, but argue about the appropriate strategy to reach their goal and escape Fortis. Vanitas reveals that he is searching for Moreau who experimented on him after he was taken in by the Chasseurs as an orphaned boy. Noé pretends to take Vanitas hostage and delays Fortis long enough to defeat him and explain their purpose. Fortis then reveals that Moreau has been cast out and he offers to join forces with Noé when he learns that Moreau is alive and probably continuing his vampire experiments. Vanitas leads the group through secret passageways to Moreau's former laboratory and when they open the doors, Moreau welcomes back number "69". (Source: Wikipedia)
