In the realm of the deceased, Cadence, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart had just arrived. Everypony would be shocked and saddened to see them. Twilight was the first to approach them, "You too, Fluttershy killed you too?"

Cadence replied, "Yes she did. Her powers were already great but after she fed on Flurry Heart, she now has natural born Alicorn powers too." She became sadder and continued, "I am afraid now that she'll be able to feed on who she wants, when she wants."

Luna approached them and added, "And now, unless she decides to learn how to handle the celestial bodies, Equestria will freeze in an eternal darkness."

One pony would be listening though, LaurFa. She was not thrilled that Fluttershy took the lives of all the Alicorns and those of so many others. She approached them and brought up something she could do, "Well I could go down to earth and try and defeat her."

Everypony turned her way and Celestia asked, "Could you do that? Can you take on a physical form to defeat her?"

LaurFa replied, "Yes, I can. While she may be powerful, she would be no match against me. While I would normally never suggest doing this to anypony or any other creature, I could kill her for the crimes she has committed."

Everypony began to look among one another and most of them had unsure looks on their faces, with the exception of one. Luna asked, "If you do kill her, what will happen with her spirit."

LaurFa let out a sigh, "Well this is another thing I would never want to do but with her, I would have no other choice than to completely destroy her spirit." She saw looks of sadness form upon everypony and continued, "Even in spirit form, she would be in her vampony form and could very well feed on the spirits of us if I allowed her up here."

Twilight would suggest, "What about Tartarus? Rather than destroying her spirit, you could cast it in there."

LaurFa shook her head, "That wouldn't work Twilight. Tartarus was made to contain living villains. As a spirit, she would simply be able to pass straight through the doors and could find her way up here."

Rarity, despite Fluttershy having killed so many, did not want to see LaurFa kill her friend. She asked, "LaurFa, could you simply remove the vampony from her and let her live. I just feel like by killing her, that would make all of us no better than she is right now."

LaurFa gave her a smile, "You know Rarity, that would be another option." She turned to Twilight and continued, "While your spell on her ultimately didn't work, my powers far surpass that of anypony else so I think I could save her." She then turned to the crowd and said, "Raise your hooves if you want me to simply try and remove the vampony from her."

Everypony except one raised their hooves. She then continued, "Raise your hooves if you want me to kill her and destroy her spirit."

Luna would be the only one to raise her hoof and object to sparing her, "Everypony, how could you want her to be spared? She has killed so many and I honestly don't think the evil from her can be purged. I don't think anything short of death will stop her." She then raised another concern, "And what will happen if she was to feed on and kill you? What if she fed on you and got your powers?"

The very fact that anypony would suggest her being defeated did not sit well with her, "Princess Luna, I am a goddess, I can defeat her easily and if I have to, I'll just raise the sun and kill her that way. I won't leave it up too long and roast the Empire but if I can expose her to sunlight, it will do what it does to any type of vampire creature, it will kill them."

Cadence immediately spoke up when she brought up the Empire, "What, she is still in the Crystal Empire? If you leave the sun up for too long there, it will roast everypony! It isn't like the rest of Equestria, days and nights can not be any longer than they are supposed to be."

LaurFa threw her hooves up in the air, "Look, a little bit of heat will be a small price to pay to stop this." She raised her voice and added, "If I don't find one way or another to stop her, every single pony up there will be dead and you don't want that do you?"

Cadence sighed, "Well no. Maybe you could chase her into the castle and try to handle her in there."

LaurFa nodded, "I could." She then lit up her horn and continued, "Well everypony, wish me luck. I am a goddess but even this won't be easy for me."

Celestia would ask one final question, "Goddess LaurFa, I know you don't think she can feed on and kill you but still, what if she was to?"

LaurFa flared her horn up in anger and yelled, "Look, she can't kill me, ok."

LaurFa calmed down and then began the trip down to the Crystal Empire. While she was heading down to the earth, she began to wonder what would happen if Celestia and Luna were making good points. She began to wonder what would happen if Fluttershy caught her off guard and succeeded in killing her. As she neared the Empire, shivers began to run up and down her spine as she began to feel a sense of dread that Fluttershy may not be as easy to defeat as she thought.
