Chapter 03: Meet The Lord Of Vampires, NeoVamde

At the time, we find Twilight’s group in pursuit of the new Vampire Pony as they were searching deeper around the apple forest of the Apple Farm. Looking, hoping, to find that which maybe lying around in wait for them to locate.

“I’m glad you managed to talk the CMC to check back near the festival Applejack.” Twilight spoke with some relief to her friend AJ in what she did a little earlier.

“No problem. My little sister an’ her friends are safer there….at least Ah hope.” Applejack spoke off to mention this from thinking of a positive outlook, at least to her mind.

“Well better they are near more adults, like your brother and cousin.” Rarity nods off to say this little matter of thought.

“Right, last thing we need is to watch fillies with a bad vampire pony on the loose.” Rainbow Dash nods her head in agreeing to the discussion they are having.

“At least Spike, Phobos and Nyx can handle things alright.” Pinkie Pie shrug off her shoulders to say this little thing about who can watch out for themselves alright.

“Just as long as they are careful.” Ben stated his own concerns to making sure, his friend and family members are safe. “Any luck finding what we’re looking for, Terrorcreep?” Ben asked their Vampire Mystic friend if they are anywhere close to finding the new vampire pony.

“No, this new vampire pony hasn’t gotten a strong enough aura yet for me to find.” Terrorcreep stated from trying to sense the new creature, but so far, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.

“Great, so we’re tracking the culprit blindly!” Phobos rolled his eyes in hearing this, well isn’t that just peachy.

“Hey Fluttershy, how are you doing back there?” Spike asked off towards his friend if she’s doing alright.

Fluttershy was behind everyone, apparently she was still trying to keep up with the rest, but her sickness was still making her feel like she was a bother.

“Oh, I’m fine, really. I guess I just needed more time to recover than I thought.” Fluttershy spoke off to say from still feeling herself a bit under the weather.

“Then we better hurry up and finish this so you can rest some more from whatever made you sick.” Nyx stated this off as a nice thought to make sure Fluttershy doesn’t get any sicker than she is now.

Goldie’s group continued with the gang as they were ahead, but they also were deep in thought of their own thoughts of the manner.

“Hmmm, I feel something strange is about to happen.” Pinkamena spoke in having that unusual feeling that’s telling her something.

“What makes you say that?” Jack Zen raised an eyebrow in hearing this out of nowhere.

“Just a feeling I get during certain moments.” Pinkamena stated from believing that what is going to come will come out soon.

“If any trouble comes at us, I will use force.” Omega declared in having his arsenal of weapons prepared on hand.

“Right, but let’s see what even comes.” Golden Heart nods in agreement that they wait to see before acting.

The gang continues on their search to find who might be the new Vampire Pony causing trouble and hopefully get it done before more trouble arrives. But…

“Wohohohahahahuhuhuhuh….” Suddenly, Pinkie Pie was having a strange shake-it-up reaction that earned a lot of attention from her friends.

“Uh oh! Pinkie’s doing her Pinkie Sense thing!” Spike yelped in recognizing that action, it means something’s coming.

“What is it, what’s coming Pinkie Pie?” Twilight asked her friend in caution and concern, wanting to know what they gotta watch out for.

“Can’t tell, it feels like someone neutral, could be friend, could be foe, they are in the neutral zone!” Pinkie Pie held her head and looked off with her eyes in being so unsure if what’s coming is something good or bad; it’s more neutral as it could be any.

“Like dat there helps tell us anything.” Applejack rolled her eyes in thinking that info doesn’t explain much.

“Actually, I think she’s right, cause look up there!” Terrorcreep spoke in looking upwards in sensing…something coming towards them.

Suddenly within the night sky, something was heard screeching up a storm. And then what looked like a dark moving clod turn out to be….a large flock of bats that were flying around that almost shaped like a pony Pegasus of the night.

“Woah, is that the Vampire Pony?” Spike asked off in being surprised in what they are seeing.

“I thought there was only one, not a dozen to a hundred!” Phobos stated that they had one problem to deal with, not over a hundred or so.

“Aren’t those just bats?” Rarity asked off in thinking those were just bats, but only one member thought otherwise.

“Clearly you all don’t know much about vampire logic, so here’s the down brief. While Vampire Ponies have wings to fly, sure, only those that are seriously strong and powerful & use magic, can pull off scattering their bodies into the form to spread out to travel and then reassemble.” Terrorcreep explained this about certain Vampire Ponies capable of an amazing feat that separates average from those extra strong & beyond mortal means. “Whoever is coming is not that new Vampire Pony, it doesn’t have the strength to pull that off.” He explained that this was not the same New Vampire Pony that was spotted, it was another…someone that has clearly master such powerful performance arts.

“So then, who’s that?” Ben asked in pondering who it was that was split into many bats to travel.

“I think we’re about to find out!” Rainbow Dash stated in seeing something was about to happen now.

Soon the bats gather to merge into a darken pony figure and seem when all the moving blackness cease, a creature with himself covered by large bat-wings is seen. And then with a slow opening, the wings opened forth, and glowing eyes peak out before opening to reveal the creature from within. His very appearance is a reminiscent of a noble, high-class vampire pony. An alicorn stallion of deep purple fur coat & has bat-like wings, white-gray markings across his body, tan dark blonde short mane & long tail that flow wildly, and has red eyes along with sharp teeth (and with fangs like a real vampire). He wears around his ankles that appear like silver bracelets with red gems in the center. And on his flank looks almost like a lunar moon symbol, but it is of a darken appearance to symbolize his connection of a Cutie Mark befitting of a creature of the night. In truth, when he appeared, a background theme called ‘Tron’s Ambition’ (extended) was heard to symbolized the scene of something with an ambition and form that could quake anyone that lays eyes on him.

“Who….is that?” Jack Zen slowly asked in staring at something or someone that seem….truly unnatural..

“The guy who’s known as the Moon-Light Vampire Pony, NeoVamde. The user to the Element Of Moon-Light, lord over all supernatural creatures.” Terrorcreep spoke off to say in introducing who the new creature before the gang was. “Said to be the most powerful vampire of the first of the mortals to recognize, he’s said to be on a high power level against any Ultimate Warrior ranking, even to compete against my old man.” He explained a brief history about this guy to which many would now be informed about.

Everyone heard this, much to many that are surprised from recognizing that knew from being heard once before about there was another Vampire Pony, namely NeoVamde whom they could have gotten blood from long ago. So this is the one who could even be like King Kaboomka, the King of all Ghosts, those said to be the strongest supernatural creatures in all of Equestria.

“So, you were with them it seems, Terrorcreep.” NeoVamde spoke in addressing another fellow vampire pony among the crowd. “What is your role in this?” He spoke in pondering the question that was on his mind now.

“Tch, well for starters, its finding out what new Vampire Pony’s causing trouble and stop it and to make sure you don’t go crazy to help keep it safe by attacking mortals.” Terrorcreep shrug off to say without much care in explaining the manner.

“Fool.” NeoVamde spoke off silently to himself in hearing such rash behavior from a ‘young’ Vampire Mystic. “It seems you have yet to grasp the ability of sensing a fellow Vampire Pony, even to know who and what it is.” He declared that he has the power to even know and recognize a vampire straight away without fail.

“Wait, are you saying….you know who the Vampire Pony that was making a scene is?” Twilight asked off in surprise, in all the searching, they never did come across who the new vampire could be.

“Indeed, Princess Twilight.” NeoVamde responded to Twilight, much to her surprise that he knows her. “You should not be surprised, while I may have existed in a realm secluded to those that are not mortal ponies, I still have ways of knowing the outside world’s development.” He explained that he still has ties to the mortal realm to know what’s going on.

“So…you know about all of us?” Nyx asked off in thinking the guy even knows about her and about Nightmare Moon and other stuff.

“Everything, including your origin…for it played a role in my birth to being who I am.” NeoVamde nods in stating a fact that seem quite strange to hear.

“Wooh, sounds heavy.” Phobos stated in thinking that if the role of Nightmare Moon’s event played in helping this guy be as he is, maybe there wasn’t much bad times as they thought.

“Then tell us, Lord NeoVamde, who is the new vampire pony, so we can better understand our situation?” Golden Heart asked in hoping they can narrow down their search, course if it’s a pony they know, it might be hard for them to catch even more.

“The new Vampire Pony…I sense its awakening and I know who it is.” NeoVamde spoke in looking around the crowd group before him. “It is none other…than you.” He slowly raised up his right hoof to point at something.

Then all eyes followed where the guy was pointing, but couldn’t even believe what they found. The supposed new vampire pony that was someone the gang knew was Fluttershy?

“Me?” Fluttershy spoke off in seeing she was being the one the guy pointed to.

“Fluttershy?” The others responded off confused in what they have just heard here.

“Wow, I did NOT Expect that!” Pinkie Pie replied off in finding that news a bit surprising to learn.

“Now hold on, there must be some mistake!” Rarity spoke off to protest the manner of stating their friend was a vampire pony.

“Right, Fluttershy was a Vampire Pony, but Twilight cured her.” Ben nods in agreement while saying Fluttershy is normal, not a supernatural creature of the night.

“It is as you say, young prince…but…” NeoVamde nods off to say that the yellow Pegasus was cured, however… “My senses don’t lie, the vampire magic aura that is born here was at one point, her own when it still retain a bit of her mortal self.” He stated off that what has now surface was the same essence of vampire aura flow that was Fluttershy becoming a vampire pony.

“Calculating.” Omega spoke off to say this, as he was doing mathematical works until… “It would seem that such sensory of determination is not out of the matter.” The bot had a hard time arguing over the manner that what was logical, can’t be corrected.

“So then, why not cure her?” Jack Zen asked off the simplest of solutions here.

“Right, I’ll just…” Twilight was about to get ready if her friend was becoming a vampire pony, she fix it, but…

“No, it is already too late. The sense is more complete that even a simple reverse of a spell won’t cure. If possible, if any remains were not cleanse, then the transformation will be a slow progress again.” NeoVamde spoke forth in stating the manner is all-ready beyond the point of reversal, as it can’t be undone. “I’ve seen it happen before, mortals tried to save their loved ones, but were too late. And thus, friends turn on one who’s become a monster.” Those that heard this felt sadden, to think some ponies would even go that far to harm a creature that was once their friend. “Right now, you may only retain what is left of your mortal form before changing completely…into a Vampire Pony. Come, I shall take you to a safer place. To a country I have created to help creatures of the night find peace.” He spoke that he offers to aid the yellow Pegasus, but so much of this was overwhelming even to Fluttershy to take in.

“Oh, well….that’s very kind of you.” Fluttershy spoke from hearing that NeoVamde was wanting to help keep her safe, it’s nice and all, but… “Um, can I ask, how long will I be away?” She asked from knowing that if she’s away, she like to be told for how long.

“Newborn vampire ponies will undergo training, to protect themselves if they must leave our realm, you should be capable of handling yourself within a decade or so years.” Neo Vamde explained the issue of how many years it take before letting Fluttershy leave.

“DECADES!” The gang responded in finding that many years a bit too much.

“But won’t Fluttershy be old?” Pinkie Pie asked off in thinking they and their pal be really old then.

“Vampire Ponies have a longer life-span than you think, they can even age differently, a measly hundred years and there be some kid who’s older than most adults.” Terrorcreep explained the case that Vampire Ponies don’t age as fast as mortals do, some maybe older than one expects.

“Um, will I….be able to see my friends and be a part of the Council of Friendship?” Fluttershy meekly asked this important question, and then…

“No. As you are now, you need help and protection. I am here to guide you off this mortal realm and bring you to a safer place, where the mortal ponies won’t harm you in being a monster.” NeoVamde protest the manner with a dry tone that Fluttershy must not remain, for fear that for being a vampire monster, the mortal ponies would want to harm her for that.

“Now hold up buddy! Fluttershy is a friend, not a monster!” Rainbow Dash protest that they never let their pal be treated as such.

“Right, even her friends wanted to help her out when she became a Vampire Pony!” Pinkamena issued in recalling a last adventure Fluttershy had as Flutterbat, her pals never gave up on helping her.

“Course, maybe we should have noticed, she was under the weather and not seen during the first sightings.” Phobos replied off that they should have seen the signs, that Fluttershy was slowly becoming that which they sought.

“Right, but still, she’s our friend. We can’t just GIVE her up that easily!” Spike protest to say that they aren’t giving up Fluttershy to never return.

“Aunt Fluttershy is still herself, even if she did become a Vampire Pony.” Nyx stated with a stern face in speaking her own protest.

“We’re all against Fluttershy having to leave us, she’s one of my close friends.” Twilight spoke her own matter about her friend being force to leave.

“Fluttershy has done no wrong, sure, she may have had a lost control, but we can help fix that.” Ben stated that if their friend is suffering under something, then they must try harder to help.

“Ben’s right, Fluttershy stays. And that’s our final answer.” Golden Heart responded off this while his own band nods in agreement.

Hearing the protest from those that want Fluttershy to stay than leave them, the choice was clear in what was going to happen here.

“It appears you’re making a mistake here. For you see…” NeoVamde slowly spoke in sounding like, he was about to get angry here. “I won’t take no for an answer, so prepare to engage against a creature of the night unlike any you’ve ever face before.” He spoke from when he slowly raised up his head, open his wings, and a sudden flow of strange magical nature of a creature of the night became seen.

Everyone was getting into their battle position modes, brought out any of their weapon arsenal and Nyx transformed into her Battle Form. A change in background music is heard, playing ‘Overwhelming Power’ from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Sound Duel 2 is now heard?

“Woah-woah, you guys aren’t serious about fighting the lord of all vampires, are yah?” Terrorcreep asked off in finding even this action a bit hasty in his opinion. “The guy has over more years of experience, fighting, training, making himself stronger, and his element makes him even stronger especially at night. He be on comparison to an Ultimate Warrior for any Mystic or Dark Mystic Warrior.” The guy knows that those like NeoVamde, who have lived long and hold tremendous power, are as powerful as even the strongest Ultimate Mystic Warriors, so this may not be an easy fight.

“Are you gonna help us or talk?” Rainbow Dash issued off if this guy was gonna talk or chat.

“Hugh, I know I’m gonna regret fighting the guy who may hate my dad as much as me.” Terrorcreep sighs in about to feel regret later in seeing he’ll have to fight to, even thought the guy before him doesn’t like his father much.

“Night Raid!” NeoVamde announced to fold his wings and then open them up to unleash a countless swarm of bats.

“Incoming Bats!” Pinkie Pie screamed out in seeing what was heading their way.

Soon the group were up to their necks in this surprise attack as they were almost feeling overwhelm by the enemies with numbers. But soon those with range attacks were able to blast their way against the large swarm of bats as many of them began to vanish from sight.

“Oh dear! We didn’t kill them, did we?” Fluttershy asked off a bit shock by what they had just done now.

“Nah, those are bats conjured up as magic, they can appear and vanish if they are hit. My old man used them before, remember?” Terrorcreep stated in knowing that attack was just something to summon spiritual creatures to serve in battle, his father Myotis can also use a move like that.

“If you mean when he had them feed off Fanged Dahlia, we rather not lose our lunch over it.” Rarity made a stern face in recalling the time Myotis had his bats feed off the corpse of Fanged Dahlia, even if she somehow was alive from being possibly a Vampire Pony, it was still creepy.

“Get ready, he’s about to unleash another attack.” Jack Zen forewarn the others in what might be coming next.

“Nightmare Claw!” NeoVamde held his wings to stretch out further before…he sent out a black ghostly-like entity.

“Watch out!” Ben shout rout to the gang as all but one managed to get out of the way.

“Waaaahhhh!” Phobos got hit by the ghostly-like entity and it turn him black while leaving him paralyzed.

“Phobos, speak to us!” Adult Nyx spoke to check her friend, but he seem stun paralyzed.

“He’s been paralyzed. He’s out.” Terrorcreep stated in knowing that move’s features, a very effective one indeed.

“Darn it, just what sorta vampire type attacks can he muster up?” Applejack cursed in seeing that NeoVamde can use some pretty hectic moves.

“Nightmare Wave!” NeoVamde soon fires electricity towards his targets.

“Golden Heart, look out! Square Wall!” Jack Zen stood before Goldie & the others as a magic vertical forming spell took the form of some light energize squares that form a large cover. The attack was blocked before the spell was undone it seems.

“Thanks for the save!” Goldie replied off in thanking his trusted friend for the save. “What could that attack do?” He asked off in not knowing what that move would have done if it hit them?

“That amplify one’s doubt & mistrust of a targeted opponent.” Terrorcreep explained what that move would do and it sounds effective too.

“It is high time we fire all our best attacks!” Omega declared off this suggestion of their best way to attack.

“Right, every pony, line up and prepare to hit the guy with all you got!” Pinkamena issued forth in what they are gonna do; hit the guy with everything they got.

Soon the gang form into a crescent shape to which they were cutting off any frontal escape paths except for the back way, but their target didn’t seem like he leave without Fluttershy. So they use such a knowledge to their advantage and then…

“Now!” Ben shouted out for them to unleash their best attacks now.

Ben fired his Sword Beam, Twilight fired her Unicorn Burst, Nyx’s Night Blast, Rarity’s Gem Assault, Applejack’s charge lasso sphere, Rainbow Dash’s energy blasting nun-chucks, Fluttershy’s Infinite Shots, Pinkie Pie’s Party Blast attack from her cannon, Spike’s firry breath, Goldie’s own Unicorn Burst, Jack Zen fired an attack he called Swifter Strike that fired off spiraling stars, Omega fired off his arsenal, Pinkamena even used her Blades Of Pinkie Pie that were thrown in, even Terrorcreep fired off his own Mystic magic attack. All the gang’s attacks were seen heading directly for NeoVamde who seem unwary or worry of so many powerful attacks before an explosion soon covered his spot.

“Alright, we done did it!” Applejack smiled with pride in seeing that surely did the trick.

“That must have done it.” Twilight spoke off in thinking that attack surely must have done some damage.

“Well Fluttershy, your safe now.” Rainbow Dash smiled to her pal in giving her the okay signal.

“Thank you, everyone.” Fluttershy smiled a bit shyly in thanking them.

“Uh oh! I think our trouble isn’t over yet!” Pinkie Pie spoke off in feeling and seeing that they are not out of the woods yet.

Soon when the clouds cleared away, NeoVamde was seen appearing out of it to soar in the air before touching the ground, completely unharmed.

“He survived!” Rarity yelped to say in seeing their opponent is unharmed.

“More likely he managed to evade.” Golden Heart stated in having a feeling he knows how that was possible.

“Right, by turning into bats, no doubt. But like I said, when he fights at night or in darkness or even in the moon-light, he’s practically unbeatable.” Terrorcreep explained off in stating how tough NeoVamde really is, he’s no easy pushover.

“I am through toying around.” NeoVamde exclaimed in having enough of this battle, it’s time for him to get a bit more serious. “Nightmare Raid!” He flaps out his wings again, and something was seen flying out. They looked like purple manta-ray/leach creatures that flew off near the others.

“Waaaahhhh!” Many of the mares screamed as they tried to defend, but everyone couldn’t stop those things when they latch on them and soon purple energy flows were suck into them before leaving the gang….exhausted. And then the creatures reconvert with their user NeoVamde and gave what was like their energy to him, making him stronger and the victims weaker.

“Alert….energy levels have dropped significantly!” Omega slowly spoke from his optics looking like they go out from being low on power and energy.

“What….were those?” Ben asked off weakly, what sorta attack did they just get hit with.

“Evilvils, they are his familiar spirits. They prefer the life magical energy of magical creatures, once they suck on a target, they give it to their master. It’s the first time I’ve seen them, not even my old man could use them. But darn, should’ve been more cautious!” Terrorcreep explained off to state the fact while cursing the luck of not being more careful over the manner, especially against a move not even his own father had learn or develop.

“Crimson Steam Glade!” NeoVamde announced froth in preparing his next attack with his two front hooves. “Powwfruvhmmm….” Soon in a surprising feat, he freely extends both his front hooves to deliver some powerful punches to some of the members.

“Gaaaughh….” Goldie’s group tried to defend but were shoved off against the trees and were temporally pin under fallen logs.

“Crimson Lightning!” NeoVamde soon created a red crimson stream of magical energy like a whip and it moved quickly around to one strong target.

“Waahh-Haaaughh….” Terrorcreep yelps from getting tie in the whip and then was hurl in the air above everyone before being sent down. “Kurpowwfruvhmmm….” Soon we find a large crater and demolished trees, Terrorcreep looked like he was deep in the middle, looking worse for wear. “Grrr….darn…it’s similar to another of my dad’s moves, but….nothing like this!” Terrorcreep cursed off to say from also recognizing what hit him, it’s under a different name, but the move used by NeoVamde was much different and stronger than what the guy’s old man ever used.

“You should consider yourself lucky, that while you are also a vampire pony, you are also Myotis's child. But he and I have our own reasons to fight another, my issues are not with you.” NeoVamde explained this case with a cold tone towards Terrorcreep, that he has business with the guy’s father, not the son.

“Quick! Let’s try something else?” Spike asked off in what else they can do to stop this powerful vampire pony, but….

“Guardiac Raid!” NeoVamde had collected dark magical energy around his horn, something even Adult Nyx seem shock to see. “Prususfruvhmmm…/Boomfruvhmmm….” Soon he fired it off, that took the form of a black/red crimson sphere of violet spark volts in a three-way split ‘Y’ form, and its impact caused much inflicted damage around those that were fighting. Once it was clearing, much of the heroes were scattered around the ground, looking like they were conscious, but look like they can barely move.

“Uuuugh, no way…he knows that move too.” Adult Nyx spoke from reverting to her filly form, what NeoVamde did look like a darkness technique she’s just learning, but it felt way more stronger.

“Flutterhsy…getaway!” Twilight weakly spoke to have her friend get away while she still can.

With the battle now over, NeoVamde slowly approaches Fluttershy that seem the less bit hurt as the vampire lord intended. The shy Pegasus yelped to move backwards until she was cornered near a tree and saw she couldn’t escape.

“Now, to take you away from this mortal realm.” NeoVamde spoke as if without much a tone of emotion as he was closing in against the cornered Fluttershy.

“Eek!” Fluttershy squeaked like a mouse and shut her eyes in fearing this was it…

The background music soon came to an end at the moment as all seem like a lost until….something became aware. “Sniff…sniff-sniff. What’s this?” NeoVamde suddenly cease movement from getting close enough to Fluttershy, that he detected something from his nose picking up a scent. “The scent, it’s not here!” He stated this off with a firm tone about something being amiss.

“Um, scent?” Fluttershy slowly peek out one eye to question that statement; she can’t tell if it’s good or bad.

“The scent of a true awaken vampire pony, it’s another matter we can tell who is either mortal or not!” NeoVamde exclaimed to state the issue about what a new vampire pony has that it’s truly gone beyond being a mortal. “But this is strange, the aura flow detected matched yours when you first became one, yet you are not undergoing the transformation. There must be an explanation for this.” He stated that he isn’t mistaken, the scent of a new vampire pony matches Fluttershy, but if the Pegasus before him is NOT the case, then who else is it that has a similarity?

Suddenly, NeoVamde sense something elsewhere to turn from where he was and then unleashed a dark orb attack that blew up a portion of trees; thereby revealing what lurk there. And to his, Fluttershy and many of the others that recovered enough to open their eyes, saw…..the new vampire pony that looked like Fluttershy.

“No way, is that…Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash asked off with wide eyes in what she was seeing here.

“But Fluttershy’s right there!” AJ stated in seeing where their Fluttershy was compared to the other.

“That’s not our Fluttershy, that’s her other self, Flutterbat!” Pinkie Pie issued off to say in who they could identify the other Fluttershy who is all vampire pony.

“How is there a second Fluttershy?” Rarity questioned off this very puzzling feat they are in.

“I’m not sure myself.” Twilight shook her head in being so lost, it can’t be a clone of Fluttershy!

“Could she be….?” Pinkamena was about to say in thinking this Flutterbat might be something ’she’ knows.

“Look, she’s getting away!” Ben spoke out in noticing what the Flutterbat was doing as she was quickly flying away after being discovered.

After a few moments, Fluttershy managed to use some of her best efforts even though she was feeling under the weather to help heal her friends with her Rosin’ Crystal Petals by the healing technique she knows. Soon everyone was at least back to having half their strength after their tough fight against NeoVamde.

“Please forgive my actions, had I known that the vampire pony I sought was another like your friend, I would not have run the risk of fighting you. I normally try to avoid fighting mortals unless absolutely necessary when one of my kind is endangered.” NeoVamde spoke off his apology for attacking this group, had he known the matter ahead, this could have been avoided.

“Oh sure, you say that AFTER beating us like punching bags!” Phobos rolled his eyes in thinking they accept the apology only after they got a hard beat lesson.

“It’s not all bad Phobos, at least he knows Aunt Fluttershy isn’t a vampire pony.” Nyx smiled off to say on looking at the brighter picture.

“But that other pony that look like her sure was. Where did she even come from?” Spike asked off in not knowing what they saw.

“That’s what we’ll have to find out.” Goldie stated that they need to uncover the truth over such an issue of their being another Fluttershy, but as a Vampire Pony.

“Then let’s get going, all of us.” Twilight issued out an order to everyone here. “Including you too, Lord NeoVamde.” She looked to the guy in wanting him to come along with them.

“You’re inviting the guy that wanted to almost finish us off?” Terrorcreep raised an eyebrow in not believing what Twilight was doing.

“It’s not his fault, I can…understand him. He’s just trying hard to protect his kind from being abuse and hurt, we can’t just stay mad when he had his heart set to do all he could.” Twilight spoke off in stating that NeoVamde was doing all of this to protect those that mortal folks see nothing but a monster to do horrible things in 'self-righteous acts' which may go beyond humane behavior; Twilight knows this guy wants to protect those he cares for, just as she would for her friends.

“Besides, we’ve had crazy times in being overprotective of every pony before in the past.” Ben shrug off to say in knowing about the time with the Total Drama Players, they did went overboard when they thought they were endangered. “So, will that be okay?” He turn to NeoVamde to see if he was okay about their decision.

“I am surprised and moved by such valiant words. Very well, knowing many of you are heroes fighting for what’s right, if you can forgive my action of mistaking your friend & help find the new vampire pony, then I shall accept the aid of your assistance.” NeoVamde spoke off in hearing such words that he, one that has a hard time trusting mortals for their hatred of super naturals and monster type creatures, would accept him after this mistake, is a nice thing to come across.

“Well, beats getting into another fight.” Jack Zen shrug off to say they rather have the guy as a friend than an enemy.

“Indeed, fighting against the lord of all vampires was an experience to keep in record memory banks for future usage.” Omega replied off in stating this fact of what to do for future uses.

“And I feel that you’re not really bad, you have a kindness, just…doing it in a different way.” Fluttershy shrug off to say this that NeoVamde is kind, but he needs to not get lost over fighting it out against the others.

“Yeah, no kidding!” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in thinking such kindness from NeoVamde was a little much.

“Fer now, let’s get after dat vampire pony an' maybe help her out.” Applejack stated in what they can at least do for now.

“Thank you all, I’ll lead you, my senses can help us find her much quicker.” NeoVamde stated that he shall help by finding where the new Vampire Pony is.

“Great, looks like I’m not needed.” Terrorcreep rolled his eyes in seeing he may as well go home when he may not be wanted by this high and mighty vampire lord.

“Don’t worry, you can still stick with us. Just no funny business.” Pinkamena patted Terrorcreep on the back to lighten up as long as he doesn’t try anything funny…like biting on her friends neck, all will be well.

Now the group moves out again with this time, more info on who they are searching for and for the fact that they have a new ally to help in the search. How will things go from here on out, can be just about anyone’s guess it would seem.

Author's Note

Well this was certainly exciting & spooky, and dramatic. Now in the next chapter, something happens back at the festival in Ponyville, and Celestia's critics rise an angry mob to rid themselves of the vampire problem. While during the moment, Twilight's group of friends have team up with NeoVamde to find the new vampire and a brief history of how the guy acquired his element in the first place while at the same time, becoming a vampire pony of the night. Will the gang be able to find the dubbed, Flutterbat, and once they do, what will happen to control the wild creature....NeoVamde will have the answer to that as well. So until then, we'll wait and see what happens, now won't we...
