An Unquenchable Thirst

     It had been a long twelve hour wait for the sun to go down. Partially from boredom, partially form thirst. Either way, it sucked. As soon as the sun was below the horizon, the newly formed duo headed out towards Ponyville. Due to his new recruit having been there a few times, he navigated easier than if he was by himself.

     At one point, he came across a meeting with seven different ponies, where he and his recruit slipped into the cover of shadows and eavesdropped. The first one looked frightened, in fact, it was Zecora. The rest were cyan, pink, purple, orange, yellow, and white. They all were pitching in ideas against some menace. "Why don't we find it, and burn it. Vamponies hate fire, right?" The cyan one said.

     "Rainbow, they don't hate it, its what turns them to dust." The purple one corrected.

     "There's no time for being correct. Just find the thing and burn it is all we need to do." Rainbow rebutted.

The nameless Vampony had had enough. They needed to be gone, one way or another, unless they met the qualifications. A dead Vampony was a useless Vampony after all. He signaled for his recruit to stay there as he came up with the coolest intro he ever made. He turned into living shadows and landed in the smack dab middle of them, forcing them all to take a step back in surprise. He laughed and said, "Oh ho ho. How funny it is you think you can actually kill ME of all ponies? Amusing." He began, an evil smirk coming across his face. "Might I allow you to know, that I know how to counter magic from my time? Four thousand years of learning each type of magic  is quite helpful."

     The purple one levitated out five necklaces and one crown, giving one to all her friends and herself with the exception of Zecora. "I bet you don't know how to counter the magic of friendship!" She shouted.

     "Forgive me, if I withold my enthusiasm." He said dryly. The purple Alicorn had her mouth agape, not doing anything.

     "You sound exactly like a princess I know." She said. She then restrained him with the newer type of telekinesis magic, forcing him on his back with his hooves pinned to the ground, him smiling all the while.

     "Do I now? Pray tell, who might this Princess be? Yourself? Or does this land have the king and queen and its two princesses. Please tell me. You've got me intrigued." He said, a smirk steadily growing.

     "King and Queen? We only have the two Co-Rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. My sister in law runs the Crystal empire-"

     "The crystal empire, you say eh? I thought old Sombra was better than that. Giving away his kingdom willingly. And here I thought he'd bring me back as his general." He said. "So, who killed the king and queen?"

     "There was no king or queen!" She said angrily. "I had better kill you before you spread rumors! Oh, and we killed Sombra." Unbeknownst to everypony, there was a certain princess listening in on the conversation, who recognized that  deep and rusty voice from when she and her older sister used to play in a certain castle in the Everfree.

     "Nay, Twilight, he is not lying." Princess Luna said, descending to the group. Once landed, she turned to the struggling Vampony with a smile upon her lips. "SO. You were the one scaring me and my sister when we were little. Here to drink our blood?"

     The nameless one hissed and shouted, "No! Your blood would be the death of me. You are lucky if I drink your blood, I would die. I see you have grown, princess. No longer the cookie-eating little filly anymore, but an actual Co-Ruler. But my question remains. Who. Killed. Your. Parents?" He said, a maniacal grin coming across his face.

     "Do tell." A Voice came from behind. The nameless one growled.

     "Get out of here. I told you to wait!" He shouted.

     "A recruit, eh?" Rainbow said. "Shouldn't be too hard to fight considering how new the-URK!" She was tackled by who used to be the captain of the Eventide Royal Guard.

    "Capitain Chaser?!" Twilight shouted. "How on earth did he get you?"

     "Get me?" He said, once again hiding in the shadows. "Oh no no, you misunderstand. My leader showed me the light. No more worries of dying, an unlimited food supply, the only downside being that we cant strike during daylight. He purified me of my weaknesses. You all need that to happen too." He finished with a smirk, invisible to those other than vamponies.

     "You eight are a waste of our time. We really must get going now." The nameless vampony finished off with a smirk as he turned into living shadow and hid with his recruit. Luna shone light where they hid, but nopony was there. Halfway across town, they heard a ear shattering, bone rattling, scream.
