A Vampire's friendship

Chapter 1: Bad first impression

It was an unusual day for Tsukune, they had just faced down Alucard, so school didn't seem all that normal anymore, he was still a little unsure of his new power, and to make things worse a new student was in his class. A new student wouldn't usually bother him, but this one was bigger than the other students, was silent all the time, and Kokoa had fallen for him, that set off a few alarms. But he went his mostly usual schedule, had to split a few arguments over him, and witnessed a fight between first years, nothing really bothered him until it was time for the club meeting, that is when things all went wrong, he walked in and noticed someone on the ceiling.

"What the!" Tsukune jumped back, " How are you doing that?!"

The person on the ceiling looked down at him, that new student, he was sitting cross legged on the ceiling, mediating perhaps? Everyone else followed his gaze, they then freaked out too, after a moment they all calmed down and stared at him.

"Um what are you doing?" Moka asked, "If you don't mind me asking."

"Yah! What's the big idea?" Kurumu snapped, "You trying to scare us?!"

The person jumped from the ceiling and landed gracefully on the ground, he then made a few hand gestures they didn't understand, they looked at each other, confused.

"We can't understand what you mean," Mizore quietly commented.

He sighed and pointed to his neck, pulling his shirt down a little, a scar was clearly seen right on his neck, near the bottom. Tsukune noticed that his hair was a dark brown, and his eyes looked like a deep green forest, while he had some sort of gray mark on his hands and the sides of his face, probably all over his body.

"You can't talk?" Tsukune guessed, he got a nod from the new guy.

"Then how do you communicate?" Yukari asked.

He wrote something in the air, it soon appeared in front of them in bright blue text, 'Magic is the only way I can, and my name is Paradox.'

"It's good to meet you mister Paradox." Moka cheerfully spouted.

'Likewise,' Paradox wrote.

"So, what kind of monster are you?" Kurumu asked, after which Mizore elbowed her in the ribs, hard, "Ow! I was just asking!"

"You know the rules Kurumu!" Yukari said, "No telling what kind of monster you are! Unless he wants to."

'Only if I get names,' he smiled.

"Oh, right sorry," Tsukune rubbed the back of his neck, "I am Tsukune, this is Moka, that is Kurumu, she is Mizore, and that is Yukari."

'Cute little group,' he wrote, 'Which is your girl?'

"That would be me!" Kurumu said proudly.

"No he's mine!" Moka yelled.

"Tsukune is mine." Mizore said.

"No he belongs to me!" Yukari yelled from behind them, they all stopped and stared at her, she shrunk slightly.

'This seems to be a problem,' Paradox wrote, 'Have you not chosen Tsukune?'

"Not exactly, yet," Tsukune admitted softly.

'So you drag it out?' He questioned, 'Is it not better to choose then have them fight?'

"Yeah I suppose, I mean I do have something special wi-" Tsukune was interrupted with the door being flung open, Kokoa walked in, she was looking happy, too happy.

"Hey!" Kokoa waved at them all, smiling still, it was creepy.

"Oh hey Kokoa, how are you?" Tsukune inched away.

"Just wonderful," Kokoa sighed happily.

"Um what are you doing here?" Moka asked.

"Just enjoying the view," Kokoa said absent minded.

'Is she ok?' Paradox whrote, that earned him a soft sigh from Kokoa.

"She's not usually like this," Moka said.

'So I gathered,' He motioned quickly, 'But that is not the problem I worry over now.'

"What?" Tsukune looked confused, "What do you mean?"

'There is a bigger problem present,' he wrote, ' I wish to know how far you would go to protect them.'

Everyone knew what he was talking about, they glanced at each other nervously, this was a decision Tsukune had stalled for longer than any would like. All the girls (except Kokoa) stared at Tsukune, who gulped nervously, this was the moment he dreaded for a long time, "Well you see, I just want t-"

Paradox silenced him by grabbing his lips, then wrote, 'I can see only one way to solve this problem.'

"How?" All the girls asked in unison, even Kokoa.

'To test all your friendships,' He wrote, 'Who is most loyal, most kind, the most generous, the most honest, the best sense of humor, and the best with their ability.'

Everyone in the room looked around confused, after they had some some silent staring they looked back at him, "How are we going to do that?" Kurumu asked.

"Yeah it's not like we have some kind of personality detector." Yukari said.

'I had a better idea in mind,' He wrote while smirking, not good, ' This was supposed to be part of a later solution, but you need it.'

"What is it?" Mizore asked quietly, with a hint of curiosity.

'You will wake away from home,' He pionted his hand at them and spread his fingers menacingly while he wrote one last thing, 'Any last requests?'

"Yeah, what the hell are you doing?!" Tsukune, watching Paradox' hand charge with blue energy.

"I'm recruiting early," He spoke, then proceeded to hit them with some sort of blue energy wave, they all lost consciousness.

Princess Celestia was out enjoying Canterlot with her faithful student Twilight Sparkle and her friends, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie pie, all of whom were talking and laughing with her, like friends. She much enjoyed herself in the company of all these friends, especially since she was the ruler of a nation, and that was very stressful work, but for now she enjoyed the Festivities of the Summer Sun Celebration in ponyville.

"And then i'm like, 'Pudding are you crazy!?" Pinkie finished, they all laughed.

Rainbow Dash suddenly stopped and turned her head, " Be right back guys," She flew off, and then flew back, a squirrel's tail sticking out of her mouth, "Mmm, dish is good!"

"Rainbow, y'all do know they sell squirrel on a stick right?" Applejack said, a bit annoyed at her friend's noisy chewing, a trickle of blood ran down her chin.

Rainbow swallowed the rest, "Yeah, but I love it fresh."

"That wasn't very nice," Fluttershy spoke up, " Did you ask the squirrel if he wanted to be eaten?"

"Here we go again," Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"Fluttershy darling," Rarity chimed in, "We talked about this, they're just food, and even if Rainbows method is so, uncouth, by law we don't need permission to hunt prey."

"But I find it so," Fluttershy hesitated, "evil."

"Yeah?! Well look at you!" Rainbow pointed her hoof, " All you do is eat vegetables! And look how well you fly!"

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight snapped, "That is uncalled for!"

"It's true!" Rainbow said

"You apologize! Rainbow mcmeaniepants!" Pinkie hovered a second.

"Bu-" Rainbow was cutoff.

"Y'all best apologize dash," Applejack tilted her hat, "Or ah'll make y'all."

"Ok," She said defeated, " I'm sorry I called you a weak flier, and ate a squirrel in front of you, can you forgive me?"

"Of course," Fluttershy said smiling, "What is a friend if not forgiving? Even though I don't like seeing animals eaten, I shouldn't let other's ways bug me, and I will always know to love everypony, no matter what."

They shared a group hug, then Celestia spoke up, "It looks like an important lesson was learned here, I'm truly glad you all continually learn from one another and care."

"So what game we gonna play?" Rainbow asked.

"Well I was thinking we could-to the tug-of-war...." Twilight trailed off, she was watching what the others had dismissed as fireworks, but in fact there was an odd blue vortex, swirling violently. Suddenly it spit out two creatures, both landed with a hard thump, making the Princess and six friends turn in shock and run toward it as the vortex disappeared.

Once they made it over, the two creatures began to wake up, the Princess noticed the features of these odd things, one was obviously male, as it made a groaning noise in a deeper voice, he had a brown mane with a bit of white, while his eyes were a dark chocolate brown. The other one seemed to be female, making higher pitched sounds, she had a light purple mane, and very capturing frost blue eyes, her skin seemed to be a very beautiful pale color, they both screamed when they saw that they were surrounded by ponies.

"Dibs on the female!" Rainbow yelled, licking her lips.

Gilda walked through the halls of the palace, center of the Griffon Empire, up to the counsel room, where her fate would be decided by the Counsel of the beak, and King Frost Talon himself, she knew this because she received a letter from the King. Nothing but good had come her way ever since she split it with that freak Rainbow, she had earned the rank of commander in the Griffon special strike force, earned quite the amount of money, and got the chance to sock it to an old ex, things were good.

She came to the chamber door, the two guards blocked the door, "Halt," one said.

"Listen guard, I have a meeting right about now and you two are keeping me from it, want me to discharge you, cause I am a commander?!" she hissed in one's face.

"Apologies sir, please continue," The other stated as they moved aside.

Gilda opened the door, she was greeted with smiling faces, not a good sign, "Commander Gilda, please have a seat."

"Sir," She sat in the chair near the left, close to some Counsel members.

"Do you know why we called you here commander?" A Counsel member asked.

"My fate is on the line sir?" Gilda partially asked.

"Hehe some what." The King chuckled, "Commander are you aware of the foolish moves made recently against us by the weak pony princess?"

"Yes sir I am," She was making sure to show respect.

"These actions, all to gain hunting grounds for themselves," King Frost Talon stood up, "Their pony forces are formidable, and now, more then ever, we need strong capable leaders, like you."

This caught Gilda off guard, "Sir?"

"Yes Commander," He paused, "We would like you to be a General, and not just any, but grand General."

"Sir, am I the most reasonable choice? Gilda asked.

"You question the King!?" A Counsel member spat at her.

"Silence!" The King ordered back, " But yes Gilda, you have a perfect mission success rate, and your training score is only matched by myself."

"It would be an honor my King." Gilda stood and bowed, "I thank you my king, and counsel."

"You may leave," A Counsel member said.

Gilda turned and walked out, she was having the best day of her life, she was going to head back to her quarters to get her weapon, then she would be off to the bar for a drink.

It was a boring walk back to her quarters, she walked in and strapped her crossbow on, then fitted her belt on, which contained many knives, then she turned to head off. But before she could make it out the door there was a low growl, making her pull some knives, she turned to see her attacker, she saw what was a blue vortex thing, and it was shaking like crazy, it then spat out an odd creature before disappearing.

"Who are you!?" She asked as it got up,  as it was taking a step closer she recognized it, it jumped up and looked very pissed, she took notice that it was slightly taller than her, with light blue feathers on it's head, and very capturing purple eyes, then it yelled some thing, it's hands having expanded to large claws, with wings spouting out, and a tail.

"WHERE IS HE?!!!" It yelled,"I WILL TEAR THAT MISERABLE ASSHOLE APART!!"
