Amore stretches her arms up and lays back on the grass bank next to the running track. She is wearing black shorts that stop halfway up her thighs, a slightly tight looking white shirt and sneakers all of which have crimson trim. Amore stares at the clouds which are passing by and sighs to herself. She then watches other students in aqua blue and dark green P.E kits the same style as her's running around the track doing times.

"Amore, are you seriously going to just lie there all lesson? I figured you would have been more active in P.E at the very least... It's been two weeks since you settled in and you're hardly making an effort." Amore looks to her side to see Octavia towering above her wearing a slightly tighter looking P.E kit in the student council colours.

"I'm just resting my legs. What about you?" Amore asks relaxing into the soft grass.

Octavia sighs and rubs her forehead. "I was away on a student council meeting and have only just got here... you, however, have been here all lesson..."

Amore sits up clearly knowing she wont get to be lazy while Octavia is here. "Okay, okay I'll do stuff... If I run a few laps will that get you off my back?"

"Fifty." Octavia states using a blank serious expression.

"Excuse me? I said a few, not a bucking marathon." Amore looks annoyed.

"Fifty laps around the track or no lunch today." The grey mare shows no signs at all of backing down.

"Ugh... Fine, I'll run fifty..." Amore gets up and starts to walk over to the track starting line.

Amore reluctantly begins jogging around the track with the others who are still running. After around twenty laps she was joined by Aqua Streak and Scarlet Orange who ran either side of her.

"So the prez has you working like a slave for being lazy?" Aqua Streak states with a slightly annoyingly cheerful tone.

"I was just resting, you know?" Amore defensively states.

"Don't you think she has been very harsh on you the past two weeks? I mean... She is always bossing you around, Amore." Scarlet Orange comments not looking happy.

"Octavia is how she is. I know I'd never change her." Amore smiles as she speeds up.

Aqua Streak and Scarlet Orange share a pained expression before slowing down to let Amore get far ahead of them.

"She is clearly being used... Why can't we just do it now?" Aqua Streak asks staring at Amore in the distance.

"We don't have everything we need yet... Give it some more time, please." Scarlet Orange pleads to Aqua Streak who nods.

Aqua Streak and Scarlet Orange are getting changed back into their normal academy uniforms which are aqua blue. Aqua Streak wears a pissed expression as she straightens up her blazer.

"I still think she is no good like our report states... It's our mission to purge her from this world." Aqua streak packs her P.E uniform into a gym bag.

"I know what our mission is... I just want to have all the facts first." Scarlet Orange states as she packs her own gym bag.

As Aqua Streak is about to speak they can hear soft moaning coming from the shower stalls nearby. Looking at each other in confusion they decide to sneak over to a nearby stall to try and peek in at who might be in the stalls. Scarlet Orange blushes a deep shade of scarlet at the sight they saw.

In the corner of the stall is Amore and Octavia in a position which has Amore pinned to the stall wall, neck exposed and Octavia playfully sucking on her neck. Amore has a distinct blush across her face combined with an expression of pleasure.

"M-must you make this session such a tease..." Amore squeaks as Octavia sucks more softly then she did before in the canteen.

"Oh? You seemed disappointed before at how quickly it was over. I thought you would enjoy a more... Teasing approach in my feeding methods." Octavia smirks as she licks Amore's bite wound.

Amore coos with delight, but attempts to muffle her noises through Octavia's mane.

"I know... If someone hears us they will think we are up to no good and having fun... Like dirty fun." Amore blushes deeper.

Octavia begins sucking again after a small break and playfully sucks Amore's blood again being a little more rough.

"If you didn't make such obvious moans and coos we would be able to do this in the room... I swear you have some weird kinks enjoying being fed on by a vampire. Plus if you dislike my methods that much I will just find another blood bank... I'm sure there would be no end of guys wanting my attention." Octavia states shifting back from Amore.

"Huh? Done already?" Amore pouts again displeased with the length again.

"No. I'm simply stopping if you don't want to let me feed on you anymore." Octavia folds her arms.

"H-hold on, I never said that... I just... I like it okay... I was just saying for the sake of saying, you know?" Amore pleads not moving her position.

"You are such hard work... Fine, hold still then and try to keep those noises down." Octavia states going back to her previous feeding position with Amore.

Scarlet Orange holds her nose and promptly exits the locker room swiftly with Aqua Streak not far behind.

The pair finally stop running when they reach a bench on the academy campus near the gardening club green house.

"D-did you see that! T-they were all, like... up in each others faces and sucking blood and shit! What the fuck is with them!" Aqua Streak rants trying to catch her breath.

"They were... It looked like... Amore was enjoying it... W-what kind of pony enjoys that kinda stuff?" Scarlet Orange is still holding her nose.

"She is being used! It's clear Octavia is using something against Amore. Blackmail maybe or perhaps a vampire mind control spell!" Aqua Streak sits on the bench and sprawls out exhausted.

Scarlet Orange takes a deep breath. "Okay... I'm convinced now. Octavia is just as evil as our leader said she is. If Amore is truly under that witches thumb then, as her friends, we have to purge the vampire." Scarlet Orange takes on a more serious tone.

Aqua Streak stands up and cracks her knuckles. "If we are finally doing this I'm pretty sure we will need our equipment... Just remember dear sister. We must purge Octavia for the sake of the order... However, Amore is our friend now, so we have to save her from that vampire bitch as soon as possible." Aqua Streak states as they start to walk off towards their room.

Amore and Octavia are walking past the running track on the path beside the grassy bank Amore was laying on earlier.

"You will choke on your food if you continue to eat so fast..." Octavia states with concern.

"Na, I'll be fine. Speaking of lunch, how much longer do we have?" Amore asks resting her hands behind her head.

Octavia checks her watch and sighs. "We still have two hours till our next lesson. It's maths by the way..."

Amore groans and puts her arms down. "Just great... You know how I feel about all those numbers..."

"You have to go, otherwise we wont spar. That was the arrangement after all, Amore." Octavia states sighing deeply.

"Stop right there vampire scum!" A loud female voice yells from the academy rooftop.

Amore and Octavia stop and look up towards the rooftop railing to see two silver cloaked ponies standing together. Their cloaks hide their faces and most of their bodies bar their hooves.

"What the hay..?" Amore asks looking at them very confused.

The two ponies look at each other and nod before making a starting pose, they then take deep breaths.

Amore's eyes suddenly go wide and her mouth drops. "Tavi... Level with me here... Please tell me you're not seeing what I am..." Amore swallows hard.

"Amore, as much as I'd love to fulfill your request... I can very much see what you can... Nor are we about to like what comes next..." Octavia sighs deeply and rubs her forehead.

Music begins to play from nowhere as the pair begin their song.

Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Aqua!

Orange!

Team Silver Hydra, blast off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Meowth! That's right!

Amore starts walking over to a nearby tree and Octavia looks at her in confusion.

"Amore! Where are you going?!" Octavia yells while looking annoyed.

"Fuck this shit, I'm out. I'll be over here while you deal with them... I do not have the capacity needed to process what in the name of Celestia I just saw." Amore leans her case against the tree and sits down.

The two mares who appeared naming themselves 'Aqua' and 'Orange' jump down to land a little distance from Octavia.

"Why do you do this to me, Amore?" Octavia sighs.

"Hey, don't ignore us! We are the ones you should be concerned about..." Orange yells at Octavia who redirects her attention to the pair.

"Yeah, we're here to put an end to your vampire terror and free that poor soul from your control." Aqua states defiantly.

Amore opens one eye with a grunt and looks annoyed. "Have you been collecting a harem or something Tavi?" Amore asks shifting her position.

Octavia groans and draws her rapier. "No! Why in the world would I collect such a thing? What kind of mare do you think I am, Amore?!" Octavia turns back to the pair and grits her teeth.

"Someone is getting edgy..." Aqua comments.

"Shut up! Don't put ideas in Amore's head! If you two are from the Order of Light then I have no choice, but to put you down here." Octavia readies herself in her standard battle stance.

Aqua draws a pair of silver daggers while Orange brings out a crossbow from under her robe. Aqua charges at Octavia who meets her head on. The two exchange a couple of blows before Octavia dodges a few crossbow bolts from Orange. Aqua rolls up to Octavia and attempts to kick her legs out from under her, but Octavia jumps back out of the way. When Octavia lands, her left leg is hit by a crossbow bolt and she is brought to one knee. Amore can hear Octavia scream in pain as the wound sears and burns where the silver crossbow bolt is stuck in Octavia's foreleg. Aqua charges up to Octavia seeing her chance to strike and aims to finish her in one double swipe.

Octavia closes her eyes waiting for the death blow, because she was too hasty and didn't watch both her opponents. That blow, however, never came and when Octavia opened her eyes she could see Amore standing in front of her blocking both Aqua's daggers with her longsword.

"Sorry about bailing on ya, Tavi. I thought you could handle these two by yourself, but I don't want you to shoulder everything." Amore admits as she harshly kicks Aqua in the stomach sending her flying backwards.

"Amore! We're trying to help you! Can't you see that vampire witch is controlling you!" Orange pleads as she helps up Aqua.

Aqua takes down her hood in frustration to reveal she is none other then Aqua Streak. She rubs her stomach and groans looking at Amore in confusion. "We're your friends dumb ass, why are you so content with being her puppet?! All she wants you for is to feed on you!"

Amore spins her sword around and sticks it in the ground before kneeling next to Octavia and removing the silver crossbow bolt. "Seriously, like no pony saw that obvious plot twist with your so painfully obvious code names..? References and shitty names aside... I'm not Octavia's puppet... I could leave her side any time I wanted to. I'm not bound here by any sort of mystic mumbo jumbo." Amore stands back up and picks up her sword.

"Then why side with that blood sucker?!" Aqua screams.

"Yeah, why do you protect her?!" Orange demands taking down her hood to reveal Scarlet Orange.

Amore takes a deep breath and sighs. "Because... We got a thing going, you know. We're friends, but there are special things between us that only we do... I can't expect you two to understand, but at least try to not judge it..." Amore asks walking towards them.

Aqua Streak readies her daggers. "No! I can never understand it! If you intend to side with her then I will have to put you down! Don't you see how that makes us feel? We have orders Amore!"

"Please, don't make us fight the one good friend we have had since joining the order... We don't want to kill you." Scarlet Orange pleads.

Amore grows a wide grin. "Just try it... If you want to kill Octavia so badly, you will have to kill me first!" Amore sprints to appear in front of Scarlet Orange making her stumble.

Using the confusion Amore kicks Scarlet Orange's crossbow out of her hands and uses a second harsh kick to send her flying across the floor. Aqua Streak then attempts to slash and stab Amore, but is only blocked, repelled or counter attacked. After a few minutes of toying with her, Amore decides to cut both Aqua Streak's arms deep making her drop the daggers. She then preforms a somersault flip kick hitting Aqua Streak in the chin causing her to stumble backwards and using her lack of balance Amore finishes her with a harsh kick to the stomach. The impact forces Aqua Streak to fly backwards and into the academy wall to crack it slightly, before falling onto the ground and groaning.

"You guys... I don't know what this 'Order of Light' thing is, or do I know your history with vampires. What I do know is that Octavia, Scarlet and you are important to me... While I won't kill you two for attacking her, I won't hesitate to drill that into you over and over till you learn it... I wont lose another friend to anyone..." Amore walks over to the tree and puts her sword away, before putting the case back on her back. She then goes and picks up Octavia who is about to protest slightly, but decides against it when she sees Amore's serious expression. The pair head to the academy infirmary to fix up Octavia, while leaving Aqua Streak and Scarlet Orange to their thoughts.

Octavia is lying on an infirmary bed while Amore is sitting in a chair beside the bed. Octavia sighs and looks at Amore.

"I was worried that you would't make it in time back there..." Octavia admits.

Amore shakes her head. "I took them lightly given their intro, but this 'Order of Light' appear to have vampire specific weapons... I'm sorry I let my guard down. You got hurt because of that." Amore sighs sadly.

Octavia takes a deep breath. "It's alright... I was hoping to avoid the conversation about them till it was absolutely unavoidable. I guess that wont be possible now."

"I will explain." Principal Flutterbat enters the room and walks over to the pair.

The pair turn their attention to Principal Flutterbat whose playful demeanour has completely disappeared, replaced by a serious expressionless version of her normal self.

"The two ponies known as Aqua and Orange... Also known on the academy charter as Aqua Streak and Scarlet Orange, belong to a faction of vampire hunters known as 'The Order of Light'. Their sole purpose in life is to see any and all supernatural creatures purged from Equestria. Needless to say, it would appear Octavia was their target this time... I plan to do my own personal interrogation of them soon after I'm done here. The Order of Light is headed by the powerful 'Van Apple' family... Their history is long and bloody with a tragic dispute at its core... Many tales are spun of how the order came to be, but only one is the real beginning. I'd love to tell you the tale as, I, myself have a hand in it's telling. However, the main heroine of the story is yet to appear and I plan to not steal her spotlight. Please continue to look out for each other as the days go on. I fear this wont be the last encounter you have with The Order of Light." Principal Flutterbat explains before swiftly exiting the infirmary.

Amore sighs deeply and looks at Octavia's leg which has just about healed with the silver crossbow bolt removed. "I'm sorry... I let my guard down because I thought nothing of the encounter... For once me being lazy nearly got you killed-"

"Not another word, Amore Sânge Von Scratch! I nearly died because I underestimated my opponents. It was my lax judgement which put both of us in danger... I wont hear another word of your selfish blaming when no pony else blames you for anything, It was my fault and that's that. Just go back to your tomboy, cocky, unruly self already... You seem strange when you act all educated and responsible." Octavia states with a heavy sigh and warm smile.

Amore nods her head and sits back slightly relaxed. "I can do that, Tavi. So what's next for today?"

"Did you do that homework I went through with you?" Octavia asks relaxing back against the infirmary bed pillow.

"Oh... was that for today..? Shit..." Amore swallows hard and chuckles.

"If I wasn't still getting better I'd beat your ass right now..." Octavia admits looking at Amore who simply shows her a cocky grin.

"I'd likely enjoy it, you know that right?" Amore states smiling stupidly.

Octavia rolls her eyes and sighs deeply. "You're bloody hopeless, Amore... You will never learn anything..."

Octavia allows herself a small grin at Amore's normal antics which she has come to like quite a bit.

The sun is slowly falling below the horizon as night falls upon Armonia. On the railing of the academy rooftop sits a pure white Unicorn mare with an electric blue mane and tail. She wears a slightly tight pure white tank top, blue shorts and electric blue hoodie. Around her neck is a pair of white and blue headphones. Principal Flutterbat walks up to the railing leaning on it sighing deeply.

"I did wonder when you would make an appearance... She is so much like you, it's a headache..." Principal Flutterbat states rubbing her forehead.

"Ha, sounds about right. I noticed our old friends came out to play again. I'm still on my little vacay. Just paying a visit to see how she is doing." The mysterious mare stands up.

"You haven't changed, have you..? You're still the reckless, unruly, tomboy ruffian you were back then..."

"You know it, Flutters. You can expect the same from her though. I've watched her grow up from afar. She has a lot of spirit, like her mother." The mare walks off the railing and falls a little before spreading her vampire bat-like wings and flying off into the distance.

"Ugh... I'm going to need a drink..." Principal Flutterbat sighs as she walks to the exit of the rooftop.
