Erlöser sits back in his seat and sighs deeply as Fluttershy cuddles up to him. Across from them is Octavia and Vinyl who are also relaxing.

"So... It's been a while since we saw you Flutters." Vinyl points out as she drinks her Vodka.

"Well... I was given a reason to venture out of my little underground arena hole. Besides it's been a while since I've had any proper fun." Fluttershy states as she nuzzles Erlöser's arm.

"I'm just delighted to meet another of Vinyl's friends. I find myself being dragged more and more into the nightclubs across Canterlot. Not that I mind being anywhere with Vinyl, but it's an interesting experience never the less." Octavia states sipping her piña colada.

"So, Erlöser... How is your training with Flutters going? I heard from Rainbow that you switched mentors shortly after you were brought home three weeks ago..." Vinyl asks seeming to be nervous as it concerned Fluttershy.

"Oh... It's umm going well... It's not really difficult, but it is very beneficial. I feel stronger because of it." Erlöser comments, sipping his soda.

"I suppose... Rainbow has been pretty off since you switched mentors though. I heard from Larvali she is spending more time with Berry Punch since you returned." Vinyl stands up stretching.

"Already time for you to go back to work, Vinyl?" Octavia asks looking slightly disappointed.

Vinyl gently kisses Octavia's cheek and smiles. "Yeah, I need to go make sure Neon doesn't buck things up if I leave him alone on the stand for too long. I will be back soon enough." Vinyl leaves the group and head for Neon Lights on the DJ stand.

"I heard about quite the noise you are making in the underground fights, Fluttershy... In the last two weeks Erlöser has been back, you entered a new fighter representing you... 'The Dragon Ravager' I believe he is called." Octavia states as she turns to Fluttershy who sighs deeply.

"I guess being Vinyl's marefriend has its perks... I'm entering Erlöser into the underground fights to better hone his abilities. It's all well and good trying to train him how Rainbow was, but he will never gain any real combat experience... He needed enemies who would not go easy on him, who actually intended to kill him. Needless to say he has progressed far from when we met." Fluttershy defends herself while nuzzling Erlöser softly.

"I... I don't think her training methods are bad... It's very different to Rainbow, yes. However, I'm not unhappy with my progress and am very grateful to Fluttershy for teaching me like she is... Among other things..." Erlöser blushes slightly at the last part.

Octavia raises an eyebrow, but before she can speak Fluttershy interjects.

"I'd rather you didn't ask about more private matters that might go on behind closed doors~" Fluttershy takes a few sips from her blood-tea and relaxes again before a loud voice interrupts the club atmosphere.

"Oi! We're here for the harlot known as Lady Flutterbat! Come out peacefully at the order of underground fight boss Monty the Machete!" The voice bellows as the club begins to empty of it's non-Kansen inhabitants.

The only ponies left in the club were Neon Lights, Fluttershy, Erlöser, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia and the thugs. Vinyl jumps down to the dance floor where the thugs are and cracks her knuckles.

"You guys stupid? Do you have any idea whose club you're busting into?" Vinyl asks very pissed off.

"Look Back Beat... We're only here for Fluttershy!" The main thug states as the three of them form their arm blade weapons.

Erlöser joins beside Vinyl and looks willing to fight, making her raise an eyebrow.

"Since when did you become the eagerly fighting type?" Vinyl asks flipping a knife out of her pocket.

"Well... I guess since I wanted to protect what is dear to me..." Erlöser states as he forms his own more dragon styled arm blade.

"Okay then. Neon, get the party started on this throw-down! Pump up dat volume!" Vinyl yells as Neon Lights scrambles for a record to put on.

Neon Lights finally finds a record and throws it on the DJ stand so it begins playing. As the record begins Vinyl looks up at Neon Lights from her battle position and gives him a 'what the fuck?' expression complete with hand gestures.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" Neon Lights panics as he promptly removes the record with a audible scratch sound.

"Turn Table! What the fuck was that?! Try again or so Celestia help me I'll come up there, kick your ass and do it myself!" Vinyl yells before going back to her battle position.

Neon Lights scrambles around again and puts on a more upbeat record which makes Vinyl bounce her head in approval. She then cuts her hand and throws some blood up into the air and snaps her fingers to send it flying towards the thugs. The three thugs narrowly dodge the onslaught of blood like bullets and scatter shots Vinyl is throwing at them. The first thug to the left tries to get behind Vinyl, but is blocked by Erlöser who takes a slash at the thug making him jump back.

"You don't know who you're messing with kid. We're bigger then you will ever be!" The thug states as he tries to get the upper hand on Erlöser, but can't seem to match his new found speed.

"You're talking too much shit for me to even care what you're saying!" Erlöser comments as he kicks the thug into the wall, cracking it before stabbing the thug through the chest.

Vinyl keeps the middle thug under wraps with her blood bullets before glancing at the third thug who pulls out a pistol to shoot at Vinyl. The thug is suddenly shot in the head and he falls back onto the ground. Up above them on the second floor balcony is Flutterbat sipping her blood-tea while holding a sniper rifle, that has a thread of blood leading to the loading chamber. The dance floor is suddenly flooded by a lot more thugs who have rushed in to aid their fellow comrades. The majority of them are shot down by Vinyl while half of the rest are dealt with by Erlöser. Who, to Vinyl's surprise, seems more adept in combat now. Needless to say Flutterbat takes care of the remaining thugs with her sniper rifle before jumping off the balcony.

"Well, that was invigorating... Me and Erlöser will leave the clean up to you, Back Beat. My three underlings shall help the best they can... We will see you both later." Flutterbat steps over the corpses of the thugs and leaves the club followed by Erlöser after he gives a sad glance at Vinyl.

Flutterbat stretches as they pass Berry Punch's bar and head to where a small fountain area is. Erlöser watches as Flutterbat swings around a lamppost and sighs playfully.

"I wish my nights were always this fun, although, with you here I'm sure they will be~" Flutterbat comments as Erlöser sits down on a nearby bench.

"You know I don't always enjoy fighting in the underground arena..?" Erlöser comments as Flutterbat stops on the lamppost and thinks for a second.

"And you know I don't force you. I give you the chance to fight battles I know match your skill level... I'm not gonna pit the one I love against impossible odds." Flutterbat states as she slides next to Erlöser and cuddles up to him.

Flutterbat suddenly changes her demeanour and presses her butterfly necklace making a vampire styled mask appear on her face and head. Erlöser takes the hint and does the same before the pair are spontaneously surrounded by Pathogen soldiers wielding rifles and swords.

"Sir, we have surrounded the Kansen!" A soldier yells as a higher ranking Pathogen member walked between the soldiers wielding two silver M9 beretta pistols.

"Excellent... Although by the looks of it we have caught The Lady of The Night and her Blood Dragon Ravager... Two rather strong Kansen in the underground fight circles." The elite Pathogen states with distress before every soldier aims their guns at the pair.

"Crap... We're going to have to make a mess to escape..." Flutterbat and Erlöser stand up and look around.

Suddenly a rainbow coloured streak appears in front of the pair and the soldiers back off slightly. When the dust clears they can see Rainbow Dash in a crouching pose ready to pounce, wearing her mask.

"You guys look like you could use some help... I've been trying to call you all night, Erlöser..." Rainbow Dash states as she stands up and looks all around at the mass of Soldiers.

"Looks like the Brawler decided to join you... This complicates things, but no matter... Bonbon, come over here." The elite Pathogen asks as another soldier walks over to stand beside him.

"Yes, Silver Bullet?" Bonbon asks, brandishing her duel sub machine guns.

"Please deal with them as swiftly as possible-" Silver Bullet is cut off as Hémolyse suddenly lands in front of them.

"Cancel that order... I will deal with these degenerates myself." Hémolyse states as Silver Bullet salutes and backs down.

"As you wish, Night Captain Hémolyse." Silver Bullet states as everyone takes a step back.

Hémolyse walks towards the trio ready to draw her sword when suddenly yelling is heard from above. She looks up and, as if in slow motion, she is impacted by a pony like figure which slams her to the ground in surprise. When the dust clears the figure can be seen sitting atop an unconscious Hémolyse. Everyone stares at what appears to be a naked colt rubbing the back of his head. His coat is pitch black, his mane and tail are raspberry with midnight blue streaks and he has raspberry coloured eyes. Looking around he seems extremely unsure of where he is.

"W-where am I..? What did that statue do to me?" The colt looks around and at himself, now amazed at his hands and body.

"You there! Identify yourself!" Silver Bullet asks as every soldier now points their guns at the mysterious colt.

The mysterious colt cocks his head to the side and stares at Silver Bullet. "Silver..? What is going on and why are there several guns in my face?"

The soldier to Silver Bullets left leans in a little. "Umm... Sir, do you know this colt?"

"I don't think so... Although, I've never acquainted myself with many naked colts..." Silver Bullet comments, pointing his pistols at the colt.

Rainbow Dash, Flutterbat and Erlöser look very confused at the sudden interruption.

"Who is this colt supposed to be..?" Rainbow Dash asks, slightly perplexed.

"Maybe he is one of those exhibitionist colts you hear about on T.V... As for the falling from the sky... Maybe he was sky diving?" Erlöser adds a little unsure.

"I have no idea, why he would do so without a parachute beats me... All I know is he isn't exactly hurrying to cover anything up." Flutterbat comments seemingly un-fazed by said event and seems to be enjoying the show.

The colt continues to look around confused. "Could we start with my question..? Where am I? This is becoming annoying..."

"You don't get to ask the questions! Identify yourself or prepare to be taken into custody!" Silver Bullet states, as the soldiers rearm their weapons at the colt.

"Well... Considering this is getting us nowhere and we will likely be shredded in a matter of seconds... I might as well shed some light on what is about to become your grave site. You are in a world where the government is trying to hunt down all the blood wielding Ketsueki Kansen. You were unfortunate enough to fall down in the middle of a Pathogen ambush, whom are the elite unit of the government created for the sole reason of our extinction. As for your current actual location, Canterlot. Did that help much?" Flutterbat explains making the colt's ears twitch slightly.

The colt turns around slightly making Flutterbat smirk. "'Blood wielding..? I'm so confused..."

"Enough of this! Bonbon, kill the Kansen then take that naked colt into custody!" Silver Bullet demands as Bonbon spins her duel sub machine guns around her fingers.

Bonbon nods happily and complies as she charges at the group before them. She then releases a few short bursts of her sub machine guns at Erlöser. Rainbow Dash slides in front of Erlöser and blocks the bullets with her, briefly blood covered arms. Once the bullets stop the blood recedes back up her arms to form her blood battle gloves.

"Does that clear up the 'blood wielding' confusion..? It's really as simple as it sounds." Flutterbat comments pulling, seemingly out of nowhere, her Barrett 50 cal sniper rifle. She then attaches a blood thread to the loading chamber.

Erlöser also forms his own Kansen weapon in the form of a dragonic styled longsword compared to his earlier arm blade. Rainbow Dash engages Bonbon in close quarters combat, which doesn't seem to slow down or impede the sub machine gun wielding mare at all. The colt suddenly picks up a random shard of discarded glass and cuts his hand before forming and crystallizing a fully fledged scythe. He then uses the scythe to surprise attack Bonbon, cutting off her left forearm. Bonbon recoils and back flips away from Rainbow Dash, grunting in pain.

"I think I get it..." The colt states, directly turned to Flutterbat.

"Oh my... This is a development... And then some..." Flutterbat comments earning a glance from Erlöser.

"Must you seriously make such comments..? This is hardly the time..." Erlöser states, a slight hint of agitation in his voice.

"Oh, but teasing you is such fun... Plus you fight better when annoyed." Flutterbat remarks.

"You know she has a point..."

"Don't you fucking start getting involved for fuck sake... You're the last voice I need commenting on my love life." Erlöser states getting very annoyed.

Everyone looks at Erlöser, besides Bonbon who is still in pain.

"Umm... Is he okay..?" The colt asks looking confused.

"He will be fine, he always does this sometimes." Flutterbat states, looking amused.

"I will fucking end you!" Bonbon screams, as she charges at the colt continuously firing her sub machine gun.

The colt seemingly forms a shield of blood behind him causing the bullets to bounce off.

"You should probably calm down before trying to 'end me'... Otherwise it won't go well for you." The colt advises Bonbon.

"Shut the fuck up you blood wielding parasite!" Bonbon states in reply, as she throws her empty sub machine gun at the shield.

Bonbon draws a thin engraved dagger and stabs straight through the shield causing the colt to jump backwards, letting the shield morph back to its liquid form.

"That's different..." The colt mumbles in surprise.

Bonbon continues to charge at the colt slashing and stabbing with sincere purpose and blind rage. The colt repeatedly dodges Bonbon's attacks while trying to return his own slashes, which barely hit her causing minor damage. After preforming a two step kick attack to get behind him, Bonbon stabs the dagger into the colts shoulder. Hémolyse stirs nearby and faintly begins to get up while shaking her head. The colt recoils back and pulls the dagger out of his shoulder, throwing it aside he can see the wound is burning slightly.

"I'd be careful if I were you... The Pathogen weapons are designed for use against us, so they hurt like a mother fucker and our wounds don't heal up as fast." Flutterbat advises as she fires a shot through some nearby Pathogen soldiers.

"Need to know information perhaps..? Like before she stabbed me!" The colt answers back, slightly annoyed.

Bonbon activates her slim hidden dagger which shoots out from under her wrist and she charges at the colt again. The colt grabs her arm and breaks it nearly in two making the mare in question scream.

"What were you thinking? That is a stealth weapon... Not really something for use while in blood rage." The colt comments, before Bonbon smacks him in the face with what's left of her arm.

Suddenly a blood bullet is seen speeding through the head of Bonbon and the colt lets her go. Looking to his side he can see Flutterbat sighing in disapproval.

"Can we not play with our food? It's kill or be killed and I'm not in the hurry of dying a virgin!" Flutterbat states, very annoyed with the colt.

"You're a virgin?" Erlöser asks, looking confused as he cuts down a Pathogen soldier.

"How did you not know? She hasn't touched anyone since last I knew her... Despite her flirtatious attitude and sexual demeanour, she hasn't once done anything of the sort." Rainbow Dash comments with a wide grin as she smashes a few Pathogen soldier's heads in.

"Brawler! You didn't need to tell him that!" Flutterbat states, stomping the ground like a little girl.

The colt sudden blocks a spontaneous attack from a sheathed sword which belongs to Hémolyse.

"You have a lot of nerve waltzing in here like this." Hémolyse states.

"I fell from the sky... What do you want from me?" The colt comments back.

Hémolyse suddenly switches her attack and slams her fist into the colts stomach.

"Your eyes and voice are the same, but it's impossible to be you..." Hémolyse states, as she two step flip kicks the scythe out of the colts hand.

The colt stares at Hémolyse in confusion. "I've never had the honour to meet Ivory Moon."

Hémolyse flips her sheath around and slams the bottom end into the colts forehead. "My name is Hémolyse... You would do well to remember it."

Erlöser charges at Hémolyse and attempts to slash at her, to which she grabs the edge of the blade with her gloved hand and holds him in place.

"Leave him alone!" Erlöser shouts making Hémolyse recoil slightly, but she keeps her grip on his sword.

"Your voice... You are supposed to be dead..." Hémolyse mumbles slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Rumble!" A loud female voice is heard before something slams into Hémolyse sending her flying backwards into a nearby building.

Standing next to Erlöser and the colt is Berry Punch wearing a mask similar in style to Rainbow Dash's mask.

"You seem to be having trouble. I'd suggest escaping now..." Berry Punch states, as they look at Hémolyse who is slowly getting up.

Rainbow Dash and Flutterbat nod before running off. Berry Punch grabs both Erlöser and the colt's hands before dragging them away from the recovering mess of Pathogen soldiers.

Silver Bullet grunts in annoyance as the Kansen get away. Hémolyse walks up beside him and sighs deeply.

"I believe we should retreat for now... That Kansen is unknown to us and requires investigation. Not many can crystallise their blood..." Hémolyse states as she starts to walk towards the government HQ.

"Yeah... Nor can many survive against you like that..." Silver Bullet comments as he starts to follow.

Larvali lays his head back with his eyes closed sitting on the end seat of the sofa in the break room opposite the armchair. On the middle seat is Flutterbat and next to her is Erlöser. Leaning against the wall beside the door is Berry Punch, while in the armchair is the mysterious colt. Rainbow Dash walks in carrying a tea tray and sets it down on the coffee table before taking her place beside Berry Punch.

"Ambushed by Pathogen... Then by some miracle after encountering the night guard captain herself, this colt falls from the sky wielding the same blood powers as a Ketsueki Kansen... This begs the question, who are you, sir?" Larvali asks as he lowers his head and opens his eyes.

The colt is now wearing makeshift jeans that look like Rainbow Dash's and a hoodie from Vinyl's collection. The colt looks around the room a little before looking at Larvali and sighing deeply.

"Well, at least you're polite about asking who I am... As for who I am... I think it'd be shorter if I stuck to a name to start with... As far as I know, my name is Scorpia. Least that's the name I was given." The colt states, seemingly more relaxed than before.

"I still don't see why I had to give him a pair of my jeans... Why not take a pair from Vinyl's collection?" Rainbow Dash asks, folding her arms.

"Well... We already used one of her hoodies... And she has tighter fitting jeans than you. I'm surprised he fit at all..." Larvali states with some distress.

"I don't see why we didn't lend him some of your clothes, Larvali..." Flutterbat comments.

Larvali coughs and clears his throat and tries to move the conversation along.

"Anyway... From what I'm told about the event, you have no idea where you are, despite using the same ability as us." Larvali states folding his arms.

"I'm as confused about that as you are. From what I knew previously, I was the only one in my world with this ability. Along with being a quadruped and not a biped... Walking around like this feels... A little odd." Scorpia replies, looking at his hands weirdly.

Larvali rubs his chin and sighs slightly. "So... If what you say is true... Then you're a quadruped from another world who can wield our genetic ability and fell out of the sky naked... Not only that, but your name is Scorpia... Did I leave anything out?"

"Umm... Only the many many things I haven't said... So, no, you're not missing anything." Scorpia replies.

"Well... Unfortunately for you, the government now knows your face... Walking around blindly is not advised. Erlöser... I want you to take Scorpia and show him around Canterlot. This version is bound to be somewhat different to what he is used to. I'd also take him to see Rarity. She should be happy to work on something other than masks for once. Although, I'd get him one of those too... Just in case." Larvali asks Erlöser who nods.

"Are we seriously taking him in? Why not just let them have him... He has already been seen, so isn't he a liability?" Rainbow Dash states very annoyed.

"We have to look out for our own even if we do not know his exact origin. It's clear he is a Ketsueki Kansen whether he himself knows it or not... Please, let this one go Rainbow." Larvali asks Rainbow Dash who looks displeased.

Berry Punch places her hand on Rainbow Dash's shoulder and tries to comfort her. They both leave the room and Larvali sighs deeply.

"Don't mind her... She is sensitive to new arrivals and those who have been seen by Pathogen." Larvali comments.

"Well, after that encounter I can't really blame her... I've never had anyone cut through a crystallisation of my blood." Scorpia states looking annoyed at that fact.

"Pathogen weapons, especially their melee weapons... We are unsure as of yet what they use to make these weapons, but we know they hurt a lot and negate our fast healing ability. Their bullets are nasty as well... While few members of Pathogen use such ammunition, it still exists..." Larvali explains as he pours himself some tea.

"I think I'll take my leave now... I'm quite tired from today and desire rest." Flutterbat states as she gets up and leaves the room.

"Erlöser... Please be careful from now on. I expect the government will be extra hostile given how many agents they have lost in such a short time. I can also only fathom the effect from killing Bonbon... It was said she had a romantic partner within the ranks of the government... Do not be surprised if she seeks you out." Larvali warns Erlöser who nods.

"That colt bugs me... Scorpia... Why do I feel I know you..?"

'Hush... The last thing I need is a debate with you right now... We can talk about this later.' Erlöser states within his mind as he exits the room. Larvali sighs deeply and looks at Scorpia.

"What do you plan to do now?" Larvali asks, standing up and walking to the window.

"Do you have a place to train? I'd like to get used to my current body..." Scorpia asks.

"We have a hidden, sound proof room we use for that very purpose. Will you require a partner?" Larvali questions further.

"Perhaps later... Right now I'm just trying to get a feel for movement." Scorpia states flexing his hand.

"Fair enough, I will find you a sleeping bag of some description so you can rest for now. Along with the leftovers from dinner if you're hungry." Larvali states as he leaves the room.

Scorpia sighs deeply and stares up at the ceiling. "I hope the others aren't making a mess right now..."

Author's Note

I'm sorry this chapter took so long. After getting ever so far I realised I couldn't continue without my co-author helping me write his character (Scorpia). I hope to perhaps get chapters out more quickly, but with college and other stuff I'm unsure. I pray you all enjoy this chapter and are eager for what is to come.
