Octavia crosses her legs and relaxes in her student council president chair at the head of the table while the other members, excluding Amore, were present.

"I take it preparations for this years games are going ahead as planned?" Octavia asks, looking at Amethyst Star.

Amethyst Star looks through some papers in a pile in front of her before looking at Octavia.

"From my reports, yes. Everything in our budget complies with finances projections..." Amethyst Star smiles.

Rivet folds his arms and sighs. "The construction work for the game's arenas is progressing as you would expect and should be ready for tomorrow's first round."

"Double Diamond, how is the training going for the sports clubs?" Octavia asks.

"They should be ready to participate in many of the games athletic based events." Double Diamond reports.

"That is good, I hope this year we can actually gain some significant points in the sports area." Octavia looks at Sugar Belle.

"The cooking clubs are all ready and prepared with the finest recipes we could muster! I promise they will not one up us this year!" Sugar Belle states with great enthusiasm.

"The selection process for those partaking in the battle royal stages of the games is almost complete, however, our head team remains empty as nobody wants to spear head the charge against them again." Night Glider states, sighing deeply.

"I already have something in mind for our lead team. We just have to cover our bases..? Does anyone know where Amore is? She said this morning she had to take care of something, but would be on time for the meeting..." Octavia states, looking at Amore's empty chair.

"I'm fairly sure she is either in a fight or... in a bigger fight." Night Glider folds her arms.

"I shall have to inform her later about my proposal." Octavia sighs deeply.

Amore stands just in front of the stage in the main gathering hall with Aqua Streak, Scarlet Orange and Derpy set up on their band gear behind her. In front of Amore is a gang of five academy male students. All of them wear the supernatural school uniform.

"You guys have a lot of nerve interrupting practice like this... So, what do you want?" Amore asks, folding her arms.

"Our lord Von Harmonica wishes us to demonstrate his displeasure with the Von Scratch family and your union with Lady Von Melody." The lead colt states.

"He gave us orders to teach you your place in our society." The second colt adds.

"By the looks of it you don't have your blade with you... This'll be easy." The third comments as they spread out to half surround Amore.

Amore grows a wide sly grin on her face as she unfolds her arms and stretches.

"When I decided to skip the student council meeting today for band practice, I didn't quite expect some of Richard's thugs to show up and give me the perfect opportunity to test some new abilities." Amore spins around to face her band. "Aqua, you get lead!"

Aqua smiles as the rest of the band ready their instruments and begin to play the song Amore selected for them to practice.

Amore sprints towards the lead colt grabbing him by the shoulders and bringing him closer to her.

"The best part about all this is, I don't even need my scissor blade to kick your ass." Amore smashes her head into his before swinging him around.

Amore then lets go of the colt making him smash into the second colt who started to charge her. The third colt attempts to punch Amore, but she ducks underneath it and slams her fist into his stomach causing him to recoil. She then preforms a two step kick into his face putting him onto the floor. The first and second get back up and jointly attack Amore who dodges their punches and kicks with relative ease and grace. Grabbing the first colt's arms she twists it around behind his back and kicks the second colt in the chest making him stumble back. Amore grins widely as she flips the first colt over herself and again into the second. The fourth and fifth colts decide to get involved with slightly better techniques, but are ultimately dodged and counter attacked by Amore. The fourth and fifth colt manages to briefly get the leg up on Amore and grab both her arms. The second colt charges Amore hoping to preform a running kick, but is stopped when Amore gets in a harsh two step kick to his face once he is in range. She then flips over the backs of the fourth and fifth colt before slamming them into each other. Once dazed Amore flat out punches both of them in the face knocking them out before the first colt sprints at her again.

"Let's try something different." Amore beams with a wide grin.

She meets the colt mid sprint and her wings spring forth from her back as she grabs his arm and spins around him before taking him to the ground and slamming her leg into his chest causing him great pain. Her band finish the song as she gets up and stretches again.

"Hmm~ that was a wonderful workout. I may not have been a vampire long, but my mother taught me some valuable information before I came back to school. 'Our society follows some very basic, but very effective principles. Power, respect and ability.' Now I don't know about you five, but I'm fairly sure I just demonstrated my competent power. Wouldn't you say?" Amore asks, squatting down beside the lead colt.

"Y-yes, Lady Von Scratch..." The colt states, holding his chest as his buddies all start to come around.

"W-we are sorry to have disturbed you during practice..." The second colt adds.

"Is there a message you wish to pass along to... Lord Von Harmonica?" The lead colt asks, as he and his gang stand up weakly.

"That if he wants to disapprove of me, my family or my union to Octavia, that he come say it to my face..." Amore states, folding her arms.

"O-of course, Lady Von Scratch... M-may we leave?" The lead colt asks.

"This time, you may leave. I'd recommend not trying this again." Amore lets them leave as they limp out of the hall.

"That was cool, is it common for members of other families to send such groups?" Aqua asks, putting away her guitar.

"How am I supposed to know? I've only been an actual part of the Von Scratch family for a week or so. However, if I'm honest I hope so. That was such fun." Amore admits as she sits on the stage.

"Well, 'least you're in great shape for the Supernatural Games." Derpy states with a smile.

Amore frowns and leans backwards to look at her band.

"The what games?" Amore looks confused.

"Are you kidding me?!" Amore asks, looking distressed.

Octavia sips her tea while sitting at her desk in the student council president's office. The room is fairly simple with a large bookcase coating the left side wall as you come in and to the right is a sofa area with a coffee table.

"The Supernatural Games are an event held by all the academies under Princess Luna's protection. That is to say, all the academies that have been made especially to promote supernatural and normal cohabitation. Every year pairs of academies square off against each other in a variety of academic and physical events to determine the best academy. Needless to say we constantly get paired with those... Ponies from Crystal Prep Academy. Not only have they beat us in every year prior to your arrival, but they have a new player this year." Octavia informs Amore who nods and mumbles.

"What do these physical activities entail and why are we in your office? I didn't even know you had one!" Amore states sitting down on a chair in front of the desk.

"I've always had an office, Amore. It's just up until now we have made do with the shower block, rooftop and our room. I figured we should utilise this private space of mine for our lunchtime feeding sessions as it would also allow me to preform some of my presidential duties. As for the Supernatural Game's Physical events... Well, we have the sports based events handled. However, there is a battle royal event in which three teams from either school compete in a series of matches in which any manner of fighting style is permitted. Unfortunately, I as student council president am unable to participate as both student councils are required to moderate the games. Thus, I wish to ask you to form a team for us." Octavia explains as she moves to the sofa by the coffee table.

"Am I not part of the student council?" Amore asks, also moving to the sofa beside Octavia.

"Hmm well, technically you're an extra at the moment since I may or may not have misplaced your student council applicant form." Octavia smiles as she lays Amore down.

"There is an applicant form for that?" Amore asks, as she lets herself lay down and Octavia snuggles on top.

"No, not technically. However, your name does need to be registered and I've yet to do so." Octavia licks Amore's neck.

"You planned for the games in advance, didn't you? It would be highly unlike you if you didn't and I'd be very surprised." Amore states, humming slightly.

"Hmm it might be true that, after meeting you I thought that you would make a perfect team captain. However, I wanted you to settle in first then we started dating and the order came up... Then there was the whole affair with Shintaku and your family ritual... Needless to say a lot got in the way and now we are here." Octavia explains as she sinks her fangs into Amore's neck and begins to drink her blood.

"Hmm~ don't get me wrong I'll gladly head the charge against Crystal Prep Academy. I used to attend there before coming here." Amore moans slightly before cuddling Octavia close.

After several seconds Octavia stops sucking and licks Amore's wound before snuggling against her cutely.

"I hope we can finally win a year... You have no idea how annoying it is to lose year in year out to those..." Octavia struggles to find the right words.

Amore flips the pair so she is on top and licks Octavia's neck.

"Stuck up bunch of uptight bastards?" Amore smiles before sinking her own fangs into Octavia's neck and softly starts to suck her blood.

"That's much more polite then I'd have put it, but yes... You'll need a full team of seven to compete in all the battle royal events. You're included so you just have to recruit six more ponies." Octavia moans lightly, just enough for Amore to hear.

Amore stops sucking and licks Octavia's wound before burying her face against her chest.

"I'll only need to find three." Amore snuggles Octavia close.

"Oh? You already have three in mind?"

Amore smiles and closes her eyes.

"The what games?" Veronica asks, sitting on a desk in the music club room.

"The Supernatural Games, it's a collection of events held between all the academy's that promote supernatural and normal pony cohabitation." Aqua Streak explains as she leans back against her chair.

"More often than not, Armonia is paired against Crystal Prep Academy... We never win." Scarlet Orange admits looking down on her drum set.

"That's why I'm asking you three to be part of my team for the games. Octavia said I'm not a student council member yet and thus far just the music club representative. That is to say our work during the festival was our club, not a part of the student council." Amore adds as she leans back against the teacher's desk.

"I still don't understand why you are asking me, I've hardly been here that long." Veronica states.

"You three are normal ponies and my friends. You are also all formerly part of the order and thus have anti-supernatural training which is bound to come in handy during the games. I have also previously fought each of you, which means I trust you more than most." Amore admits.

"Friend... I guess given our recent events and that I was basically conscripted into your band... I suppose I should support our rivalry by helping crush all other opposition so I can take you out myself." Veronica folds her arms and looks away.

"What she means is... Because you're a friend, she'll help you." Aqua Streak interprets for Veronica, making her sigh.

"Great, we just need to find ourselves three more ponies to make a full team." Amore states, sighing deeply.

"Umm, that's going to have to wait... We have guests." Scarlet Orange draws everyone's attention to the window.

Outside Octavia stands at the front of Armonia with the other student council members and Principal Flutterbat. Looking and leaning out of the many windows above them are a plethora of students.

"Where is Amore?" Flutterbat asks, leaning towards Octavia.

"Hopefully putting together our winning team." Octavia replies.

"I just hope she doesn't show up during this part..." Flutterbat sighs when she sees the academy gates open.

Shortly after opening a crew of five Crystal Prep school buses drive into the academy and park in the designated places to the right of the entrance. Students wearing the accompanying uniforms begin to leave the bus and gather in front of them before being headed by a Pegasus mare just a little taller than Principal Flutterbat. Her mane and tail are silky looking with a golden shine to them that has black streaks within. The mare's coat is a dark purple colour with her eyes matching her mane and tail. She wears an outfit similar to Principal Flutterbat, but is in the Crystal Prep Academy colours and design. The mare in question leads her students over to Principal Flutterbat whom she shakes hands with.

"It feels like forever since we saw each other, Flutterbat." The mare states with a grin.

"Well, I've been quite busy around here as I'm sure you have heard... Principal Nike." Flutterbat puts on a smile and shakes her hand.

"I trust your student council didn't get lost coming over here?" Octavia asks.

"As if the student council of Crystal Prep would get lost, you have such little faith Octavia." A light grey Unicorn mare steps out from behind Principal Nike followed by two stallions, two mares and a griffon all wearing the Crystal Prep student council uniform like the Unicorn mare.

The Unicorn mare has a light grey coat with a light pink mane and tail that has heliotrope white streaks. Her eyes are a pale light greyish violet with matching eye shadow.

"Fleur Dis Lee, what a pleasure to see you again." Octavia smiles slightly.

"Come now, Octavia. Neither of us are pleased to see the other. Our families have been at odds for generations, no sense in changing now is there." Fleur sighs.

The griffon has a dark grey coat with light grey feathers , his talons and beak are a brilliant gold along with his eyes. On his head is a distinguished chefs hat and red scarf around his neck.

"Gustav le Grand, our disciples do battle once again!" Sugar Belle dramatically states.

"Indeed, Sugar Belle. We shall see once again who is the finer baker!" Gustav declares in a thick French accent.

"Nice to see these two haven't changed. On the other hand, you, Amethyst, are looking rather sleep deprived." The other Unicorn mare states with a grin.

The mare has a Pale cerulean coat with a Brilliant vermilion mane and tail that has light amber and light tangelo stripes, with a gradient of moderate fuchsia to moderate orchid on the shadowed side of her mane. Her eyes are a brilliant orange with Persian blue eye shadow.

"Sassy Saddles, what an unpleasant surprise... I'll be glad when this is over and I wont have to suffocate in your over powering perfume selection." Amethyst Star fake gags at Sassy.

"Double Diamond..." The Pegasus mare states before glaring at him.

The mare has a light turquoise coat with an amber mane and tail that have gold streaks within. Her eyes are a brilliant gamboge.

"Lightning Dust..." The pair simply glare at each other with no more words exchanged.

"Well, that response never seems to change... Night Glider, it's good to see you again." The well distinguished sounding stallion beside Fleur states.

The light grey stallion has a light azure mane and tail with eyes to match. Unlike all the others he wears a purple bowtie.

"Fancy Pants, always a pleasure to see you." Night Glider states with a smile.

"I take it your team this year is ready as always?" Octavia prompts to Fancy Pants.

"President Fancy Pants, the team want to know when we are going to the lodging dorm?" An Earth Pony mare walks up to Fancy Pants, holding a cylinder case on her back.

The Earth Pony mare has a deep pink coat with a dark blue mane and tail that has black streaks within. Her eyes are a dull silver and she wears the Crystal Prep student council uniform.

"Ah, Lady Octavia, I'd like you to meet-" Fancy Pants is cut off by a loud voice.

"Selene Bloodmoon!" Amore shouts as she exits the academy entrance with her silver case on her back.

"Amore Sânge Von Scratch, it's been a while hasn't it?" Selene states with a smile as the two shake hands firmly.

"Oh, dear Celestia, it's you... What the devil are you doing here?" Fancy Pants asks Amore.

"I came here after leaving Crystal Prep at your express request... Did you repair that broken gate yet?" Amore asks.

"Yes... At great personal cost... Please tell me this mare is not attending here or even taking part in the games?" Fancy Pants asks, sounding distressed.

"Not only is she partaking, but she is also my marefriend. I'd humbly request you be respectful to that fact." Octavia asks, now with a much wider smile.

"I... I... I'll see you later for the arrangements, Lady Octavia... Amore." Fancy Pants leaves taking the student council with him.

"I guess we'll see each other in the Battle Royal... Try not to fall behind, Amy." Selene walks off with the council.

Principal Flutterbat and Principal Nike are nowhere to be seen. Octavia looks at Amore confused.

"How exactly do you know that mare, Selene?" Octavia asks.

"Oh, we used to spar a lot when I went to Crystal Prep." Amore replies.

"Oh... Well, if that is all-" Octavia begins.

"We also used to date..." Amore admits.

"Amore Sânge Von Scratch!" Octavia protests as she looks sharply at Amore, earning just a squee from her marefriend.
