Chapters "I'll do it." Azure told Luna. Causing her to smile.
"Good, Azure. That's good." Smiling again, Luna climbed off the throne. "Please, follow me."
Following Luna into a gym, and saw ponies around lifting weights. But none where Lycan.
"Where we going?" She asks.
"Be patient."
Sighing, Azure complies. Walking to a clerk behind a desk, Luna tells him something. Nodding, he gestures to an 'employees only' door. Pushing it open, Luna walks through, Azure at her tail.
Heading down a hallway, she passes a break room, a bathroom, and a storage room.
'this hallway just keeps going.' she says to herself. Continuing to walk, they take a left. Then go through a 'ristricted access' door. Continuing to walk, she notes the couple of bedrooms they passed. Then rooms with bunks. 'barracks.' she thinks to herself.
"Here we are!" Luna chirps, opening another door to a cafeteria looking room.
"Where's here?" Azure asks, following Luna into the cafeteria. Looking around, she notes how empty it is, and the exess of tables.
" 'here' is your new home. It is where we train those without experience. We train them to be better at self defense and hoof-to-hoof combat." Luna says, pressing a doorbell next to the entrance. Hearing it ring in a distant room, the clop of Hooves following. But not normal hooves, as Azure noticed. There where faint scratches of claws aswell. Looking towards the door across from them, it burst open, five lycans running out. Azure looks at Luna, who is standing noticably taller. Looking back towards the estranged ponies, she saw their behavior change. Going from offensive to passive. The run to the left side of the room and form a line.
"Princess present!" One of them yells. Azure scans over them. Four of them completely unfamiliar. But she heaved an annoyed sigh when she sees the fifth one.
"Tamer..." She slightly growls, earning a smile from him.
"Alright, we have a new mare for your team." Luna says, earning a hooting yell from all but two of them.
"That's how I know they're guys." She says to Luna, smirking.
"Yea..." Luna responds, then waves her hoof from Azure to the others. "Everypony, this is Azure Aura."
More hoots.
"Quiet!!" Almost Royal Canterlot voice. Causing them all to flinch. "Thank you. Azure, this is..." Going from left to right.
"Galaxy." She was a black mare, her mane black and blotched white. Cutie Mark a spiral Galaxy.
"Bayline." The only other mare besides Azure. She is steel silver, with a rustic colored mane.
"Now the guys. Camo." The stallion brown of coat and green of mane.
"Hello darlin' " Camo says, responded with a growl from Tamer. Azure giggles.
"Ghost." The stallion whiter than Celestia, his mane not helping.
"It's a nickname, no one knows his real name." Luna tells Azure. Ghost nods.
"And I know your aquanted with Tamer." Luna says with a nod.
"So this is everypony?" Azure asks. Looking at the scarce number of ponies.
"This is everypony..." Luna says sadly. "That hit we too was deviating. The vampires targeted every one of my families. I had at least twenty that where supposed to be here. Now it's just these five."
"But with the right skill set. You could be the determining factor to weather we win or lose." Ghost tells her.
"He's the smart one" Camo jumps in. "I'm mostly here for the action!" He finishes with a broad and shit eating smile.
"Yea yea. No one fuckin' cares, Camo. We're here to actually stop these dammed parasites from killing us all." Galaxy shouts, a hum of confirmation from Bayline.
"Everypony!!" Luna again. "Please! Stop your bickering! Make sure Azure feels at home, and I expect you at the throne room at 0600!" The sound of hooves clopping away, and a door shutting. Camo, Ghost, Bayline and Galaxy sat at the closest table to them. Tamer trotted over to Azure.
"Hello, long time no see." Smile.
"Yea, who couldn't it off been longer?" Azure smirked. Quickly and without warning, their lips made contact. Azure squeeked, causing Tamer to press more. Azure didn't pull back, she was enjoying this. Even though she knew she shouldn't.
A couple more sentimental seconds passed before the two remembered they need to breath. They pulled back panting, making the four at the table laugh.
"I know where the mop is, need we clean anything up!" Camo yelled, laughing. Ghost laughed but Bayline smacked Camo.
Azure felt her face get hotter, and saw Tamer's get redder.
"L-lets go to my room, lest these pricks get off any more." Tamer whispered to Azure.
"What for?"
"Your my mate, let's make it official." He says, smirking slyly. Weighing her options she nods. Silver won't have to know. Walking past her, he opens the door, holding it for her.
"Thank you." Smiling, she walks through.
"Change forms! It's a lot better!!" Camo again, causing the two stallions to loose it. Tamer just rolls his eyes and shuts the door.
She was in total bliss. So much so she forgot about her front legs falling asleep, her flank in the air. Wasn't long now, they'd both reach it soon. She resisted the urge to howl, she changed forms when it was the more sensual part of the intimacy.
She couldn't hold it she howled when it hit.
Azure let her back legs give, causing her flank to fall. Tamer fell and landed on her back. Rolling off her, he layed next to her.
"That was great." He says, running a hoof over her cheek, a blush deepening her already red face.
She had no response, she just drifted off to sleep.
"Hey, Azure. Dinner time." Somepony said, shaking her awake. Opening her eyes and looking up, she saw her mate. And she recalled what happened. Then, and felt something. Newfound love for him.
"Dinner?"
"Yep, it's lamb night, my favorite!" He says happily. She sits up then asks, disquested.
"Lamb? We're having meat?"
"Yep! Veggies won't satisfy that wolf inside. "
She groaned.
"Dig in!" Ghost says, setting the plates down in front of them all with his magic.
Everypony did. Azure gulped, contimplating wether to go out and get her own dinner.
'he made this for us, might aswell humor him.' the voice said. Cutting a piece, she brought the fork to her mouth. Deciding she won't have any other way around it, she bit it, and chewed.
'this is great!!' she thought, and happily ate the rest of it.
"Remember! Up at five!!! In the throne room by six!!" Camo announces. Then turns to Tamer and Azure. "Don't have to much fun." Smirk.
"Fuck off, dude. I didn't say anything when you rutted the sense out of Bayline!" Tamer shoots back. Bayline's face reddened and Galaxy laughed.
"Remember, six." He says to Camo. Then he and Azure went to bed. Sleeping only that night.
Azure Aura woke up to the sound of drums. And somepony yelling. She was too groggy to tell what it said. Hauling herself up, she hopped off the bed. Deciding not to make the bed, she walks into the hallway. Ghost almost slamming into her as she exits.
"Sorry Aura! We're late!" He tells, getting further away. She bolts down the hallway, and eventually catches up to him.
"Late for what?" She asks as they slow down and get into the cafeteria.
"Breakfast. Otherwise we start drills hungry."
"There you are!!" Camo shouts from the kitchen. "I was about to skip y'all. Happy I drummed?"
Watching the two walk up to the kitchen window, Camo places a slab of meat on two plates, then puts the plates in the window.
"Thank you, Camo!" Ghost says enthusiastically. Azure just nods her thanks and grabs the plate with her teeth. Walking over to the group's table, she sits next to Tamer. Placing the plate on the table, she says hi to Bayline and Galaxy.
"Look who's back from the dead!" Tamer says, nuzzling Azure's neck.
Fighting off a giggle, she responds. "What time is it?"
"Five thirty-ish. I let ya sleep. You were pretty tired." Tamer says through bites of steak.
"She wouldn't be so tired of you went easy on her." Galaxy says laughing.
"I had fun." Azure nuzzles her mate. Causing his face to slightly redden.
That was the last spoken between them all. Like with the lamb, Azure was anxious to try the meat in front of her. And just like the lamb, she liked it, and wolfed it down. Soon after Camo joined them. Soon after that, they made their way to the throne room.
They trotted into the throne room as ponies. Lining up, from left to right, as: Azure, Galaxy, Bayline, Camo, Ghost, Tamer. Everypony changed to wolves with ease. Except Azure, she stayed a pony. After a couple of seconds of standing there, Galaxy bumped Azure.
"Change."
Complying, she shut her eyes.
"Fun? Time for fun?" the voice asked her.
"Why not?" she answered. And felt the warmth. It wasn't as intense as her first time. And can't remember the second time she transformed, she was a little, ahem, preoccupied.
But the transformation came relitively easy. Only the teeth and claws hurt.
Opening her eyes, she smirks, feeling the power of the Lycan. But remembering where she was, she stood back to attention alongside Galaxy.
About a minute passed, then Luna popped into the throne.
"Right on time!" She yelled, stepping off the throne. "At ease."
They all relaxed and looked at her. Walking over, Luna smiled.
"Welcome, Azure. I see you've already taken familiarity to your wolf form. Please tell me, how does it feel?"
Releasing it wasn't rhetorical, she speaks up. "Honestly?" Luna nods.
"It feels wonderful, the feeling of power. The ability to go fast and not get tired. I love it!" Smiling at the end.
"Good!" Luna smiles back. "Because you're not going back to a Pony until you head for dinner!"
They did it all. Push ups, sit ups. Other work outs. They started to teach Azure on hoof-to-hoof. But being wolf, fighting like that is instinctual, so not much needed to be touched on. And all went on all day.
Azure was sore, just at the end of the day. She can't amagine how sore she'll be tomorrow. Walking into the pony gym, as ponies, they all whent through the employee entrance. But the clerk stopped Azure.
"Who are you?"
Tamer was about to intervene to get her through, but Azure had it covered.
"Somepony who'll rip your throught out if I dont get sleep."
And with that, he let her through.
She plowed through dinner, and whent straight to bed. Not saying anything to anypony. She slept in her room for the first time. Instead of crashing with Tamer. She slept like a pony who didn't get much sleep. (Instead of sleeping like a rock).
The next few weeks where repetitive. Everypony but Azure whent on missions some times.
"Your not ready yet, Azure. You have not bonded with your pack properly yet. A couple of more weeks." Luna said each week.
"I've done all the exorcises repeatedly, I Ace them all now!" Was her argument.
"A few more weeks."
And she waited those weeks. Drills got tediously repetitive. Every now and then Luna would suprise them all with a new drill. Up early and got Intruders or Something crazy.
Every now and then Tamer and Azure would have fun . Mostly on Saturday nights when they could sleep in Sunday.
Luna was at least nice enough to let them rest Sunday.
The weeks passed, a couple months. More protesting from Azure, Luna kept saying she wasn't ready.
"Congratulations!!!" Everypony yelled, pulling confetti poppers.
"It's not that big of a deal!" Azure laughs, looking at the falling confetti.
"Sure it is!!" Camo yells.
"It's not everyday we get a new pack member!!" Ghost finishes. Bayline, Galaxy, and Tamer shout their agreements.
"Alright, Alright. Everypony settle down." Luna tells them. They do so.
"Azure Aura." She says, walking to her. "Welcome to the pack!"
"Thanks, princess!"
"I trust you will get enough sleep tonight. Tomorrow, in sending you out with them. I'll give you more details tomorrow." Luna says, walking to the door.
"Thank you, princess!!" Azure shouts happily.
"If coarse." And with that she leaves.
They stood there for a second, then Camo speaks up.
"Well, better get some sleep. Tomorrows gonna be a big day!"
Today was the day. The day Azure Aura goes on her first mission. She's pumped. This is what these last few months have been preparing for. Last night she was made a permanent member of the pack. The pack Luna calls the Midnight Pack.
Waking up, she heads to the cafeteria.
"You're up early. It's four-thirty." Camo spoke from in the kitchen. Walking over, Azure wiped sleep from her eyes.
"You're early."
He shrugged. "I'm always out here by four. Makin breakfast for y'all." Then he smiled.
"Since your up early, you get your breakfast early. And don't worry, there's enough for seconds." Another smile while he places the plate on the kitchen window.
"Thanks, Camo!" Happily grabbing the plate, she trots over to their regular table. She basically inhaled the stake.
With everybody fed, they all made their way to the throne room. Changing to wolves and lining up they waited for Luna.
"Thank you, for being on time!" Disimbodied. Bright dark blue flash.
"You ready for your briefing?"
"Everypony, gather round." Luna had teliported them all to a Christal castle in Ponyville. After Luna spoke to some purple alicorn, they all made their way down some hallways.
Luna led them all to the table. Her horn glowing purple-ish, the map zoomed. First slowly into Manehattan, then quickly to an old looking warehouse.
"Alright, pack." Luna starts. "We have received information from an undercover that, this warehouse, is where the leader of their little 'resistence' is." Hearing this, Azure giggles.
"Is there something funny?" Luna.
"Yea..." Giggle. "It's just cliche, leader of an evil organization, camping out in an old warehouse." More giggling.
"Well, they're not exactly an organization...." Luna replies.
"Any way." She clears her throught. "Continue."
Slowly stalking down an alley, Azure stayed behind them all. A couple more alleys and they had the warehouse in sight.
Darkness already set in, a half Moon in the sky.
"C'MON!! Let me play!" The voice told her.
"No, not until Ghost says so. He's the boss." It just growled in annoyance.
Coming upon the building, Ghost told them all to change. .
"Okay, now it's time." she thinks, and feels the warmth. It was different this time, though. Warner, more pleasurable. So much so, Azure had to bite her tounge as not to howl. Grateful she didn't, Shee looked at the others.
They were all smirking.
"it's to kill! Kill kill kill!!" Telling the voice to shush, she smirked aswell. Seeing their target right outside the building.
Slowly, surely, and secretly, they made thier way towards the objective. Using shadows and quiet, they made it to the side of the building. They moved to where the Target's scent is blowing to them. Smirking again, they stalked closer. Closer. Closer.
THWAP!!
Galaxy shrieked. Falling to the ground, an arrow sticking out of her left flank. Looking towards her, Azure saw the arrow. She watched Camo pull it out with his hooves. The arrow head leaving her flank, a purple strand of something still clung to the tip.
"Poison." He told the others. And Galaxy began hyperventilating, a fever already setting in. Bayline, Ghost, Tamer and Azure watched their target laugh. Then re-enter the building. Pushing away anger, she, along with the others, made a semi-circle around Camo and Galaxy. An effort to protect them while Camo tried to save Galaxy. He did his best, but she died while he worked.
"Well fellas." Camo said as he turned around to the others. "Now we've got somepony to avenge."
Now right against the warehouse wall, they make their way to the entrance.
Catching the midnight pack off guard, five vampires jumped off the roof, landing next to the Lycans. Hissing, their fangs extended.
The Lycans turned towards the Vampires.
"So dramatic." Ghost rolled is eyes. "What good are fangs when you got a whole set of canines?" She snarled, baring his teeth, causing the Vamps to lunge at the Lycans.
Azure watched as one sprang towards her. But simply sidestepping and he slammed into the wall behind her. Turning towards him, it was her turn to jump. Opening her mouth, and sinking her teeth into his throat. Feeling the flesh in her mouth, she couldn't help laughing slightly. And with a jerk of her head, the Vamp gurgled. She spat out the chunk of flesh and turned away from the drowning stallion.
Ghost slammed head-on into his assailant. A quick swipe of his right paw, and the Vamp was on the ground, but not before hitting Ghost's legs, effectively throwing him to the ground. Scrambling to get up, a second female vampire jumped into his torso, crushing his ribs, tearing his internal organs with rib Peaces. One of those pieces, Pearced his heart.
"Noooooo!!!!!" Angrely, Camo swiped at the vampire he was dealing with. That swipe taking out the back of his neck. He then ran at the two who killed ghost. Tackling one. With it on the ground, he forced a claw into her eye. Deeper until she was surely dead.
Bayline had just snapped another's neck when she saw Azure bite into the last's back. Tearing, causing him to fall, his back legs taken out. Placing a claw on his throat, she sliced. Killing him.
All panting, they stood up and grouped back up.
Bayline ran over to the stallion on the ground, gasping for air. She looked at him, tears welling.
"I'm sorry, dear friend." And to ease his suffering, she placed a claw into his ear. Then pushed swiftly.
Walking back to the others, she saw them Taking account of who is still there.
"Azure, Bayline, me..." Camo said.
"Where's Tamer!?" Freaking out, Azure looked over the corpses. Only recognizing that of Ghost.
"If he's not here he's MIA. We need to keep going." Bayline tells her. Reluctantly nodding, she turns and walks towards the entrance.
Walking in, carefully. They see stands of boxes making a maze. Winding, they make their way through.
KABOOM!!!
Bayline went stiff. Looking at her, Camo and Azure notice something that isn't supposed to be there.
A gaping hole in between Bayline's eyes.
"No no no!!" Camo shouts, grabbing her as she falls. "Bayline! Darlin'!" He holds her for a few more seconds before laying her down.
"I'm gonna get you, you Vamp bastard!!!" Camo yells. His voice echoing.
Azure leads, finding their way to a door, presumably to a basement.
Opening it, a draft hit, and the smells of mold and rot it her nostrils. Crinkling her snout, and and Camo walk deeper. Down stairs and around corners. No resistence.
The two of them reach another door. The door looks like that one would have in a casino. Gold bars and a ship's wheel as a handle.
Turning it, it swings right open. Leading to a small throne room. Doing a 360, she saw a balcony above the door.
A bright blue flash, and somepony is on the throne. Her mane blue, and coat purple. Cutie Mark covered by the throne. She was laughing hysterically.
"It worked. It actually worked." She said.
"What worked!?" Camo basicly screams.
"My trap, of coarse!" More laughing.
"That's it!" He's had it.
Starting to trot at the psychopathic Vamp, he's stopped by a pony landing on his back. Azure turned and watched as a knife peirced the flesh at the base of Camo's skull. Hopping of his back as he fell, the vampire hissed at Azure.
"Just one Little worm left." Calling the attention back to herself, the crazy vampire 'queen'.
"What's your goal, bitch? Wipe out the Lycan's?" She asks.
"Yes." Was all she answered. And behind her, Azure could see Tamer. Inside she was jumping with joy, externally, she was stalling.
"That it? Gain Luna's approval? Kill all her children?" Stalling, Tamer grew closer.
"No! I've given up on Luna! She's next on our list. She's no longer needed. We fared quite well while she was on the moon!!" Louder.
Tamer was close enough. Do it! Kill him!!! She laughs loudly.
"You think it'd kill my mother? " he smirked.
"Son?" The queen turned and looked at him. He smiled. "You did your job exceptionally well. You even brought me a blood bag." She said, gesturing at Azure.
"No no. Mother. That wasn't our deal! You said I could keep her if I got you the others. Your said you wouldn't hurt her!!!" Tamer shouts, getting closer.
Azure was stunned. Tamer worked for them? Was what they had real? Acting? Who knows? She surely doesn't. And won't ever.
The queen shrugged. "I changed the deal once you became expendable." And with her magic, she levitated a Griffon Arms pistol too Tamer's head.
"Thanks for your help...... Son. "
Azure barely managed to close her eyes once the gun went off. Nearly defining her.
Looking up, she screamed, and charged at the queen. Using her magic, she shot a beam of magic at Azure's hooves. Knocking her over at the hoof of the throne.
Laughing, and queen shot Azure with a paralyzing spell.
Getting up and walking over to Azure, she knelt next to her.
Extending her fangs, she pearced the neck of the Lycan on the floor. Taking a moment before lifting her head.
"Now I've drunken lycan blood before, but there's something off." Licking her fangs, she knows what's off. Walking in front of Azure, making sure she can see her. She laughed some more.
"I know what's off..."
"You're Pregnant."
Author's Note
Holy sh!t that ending!!!
Thanks to those who stuck to the end of this triquil of a series. It's been fun!
I deleted the sequel because I hated it. And because I want to throw my OC into a different story.
