Chapters Twilight "Helsing" Sparkle: Vampire Slayer
Time...Time is what makes this world go around, but how does one...kill time? Sleep? Activities? Reading? It's all the same...this time...this world will be different, cruel, and deadly...but you my dear, you will be a reckoning...so it is time for your tomb...to open...Awake.
"Ugn...aah...nngh...g-grrrmmm."
The groans become quiet as the figure within the open tomb start to slowly move, her hands touching the edges of her resting place. Slowly her eyes begin to open, her vision returning as if she was seeing light for the first time in years. She raises her hand up to her head to block the light for a bit until her vision fully returns to her...
Uh...w-what...happened?
As her vision returned...she noticed some carvings on her hand. It looked like some ancient rune that was embedded in the skin and fur.
H-Hands? Am I...in the Human World?
Slowly the bipedal figure attempted to sit up from her tomb. In successfully doing so, she notices the bottom half of her body.
"Urp--!" The figure made the sounds of blushing and embarrassment. She notices the bottom half was still of a pony's...but she had human features, she had a female's feature between her legs. Her legs were still thick as a pony's leg and she still had hooves along with her cutie mark and tail. She then notices she had breasts that connected her chest. The Mare touched her face to feel she still had a muzzle, a horn, and...wings.
"Still a Pony...but with human perks?" The Mare then covers her muzzle, "Is...is that my voice?!"
The Mare's voice sounded woman-like, mature, experienced, the voice also had a tad bit of a shallow and/or dark tone, the voice of a Warrior.
My voice never sounded like that? It sounded like...like...w-what did my voice sound like? Was it this?
Slowly the Mare attempted to stand, using the edges of the tomb for balance, she was up on her two hooves in no time. It felt easy like, she has done it before. The mare looks around the ancient temple-like room...she then notices some objects shining on the walls like they were reflecting. The Mare walked over to the reflecting mirror-like wall, she looks at her reflection.
She had light purple fur along with a dark violet mane with a shaded pink strand in the middle of the hairstyle, she sees she had a horn and wings, an Alicorn. She looks to see she was indeed on her two hooves...her only hooves as her forelegs were now arms and the hooves were hands now. She seemed to have a curvy form but besides that fact, she was Bipedal, Anthromorphic, whatever else describes a two-legged being. Her eyes shined deep violet, they blinked violet as well...but it almost looked like there was a red ring within the violet color.
As she examined her body...she sees more runes carved into her. The mare's hands, arms, and parts of her body covered in them. Her legs and thighs, her shoulders and neck, it's like as if she was apart of a ritual almost...she touched the runes and they felt like scars. Did someone torture her while she slept? Or were these always with her?
She moves her hand to the stone wall beside the mirror to lean on it...until the stone pushed into the wall, next to her a part of the wall pushed in and slid open, revealing a pathway.
"What the?" The Mare slowly walks towards the hallway, looking to see a large crate inside, "Hm...I hope there is something useful in here."
The Mare opens the crate...there were clothes inside...human-like clothes, but she needed something, she felt like she needed to cover herself up since she had revealing human parts. She first sees there was a tank top so some cleavage would show but barely. Next were some black jeans, she slipped them on and there was a belt around it that had a gold shining round buckle, she clipped it on since she didn't want to risk the jeans falling.
Next, she notices shining silver in the chest...A Sword, a silver curved sword with a skull at the hilt of the handle and blade. The Mare looked at it and for some reason made her smile, but she didn't know why. Something was telling her to take it, part of her didn't want to but the other part wanted to...slowly she placed her hand on the handle, she lifted it up and examined the sword. She laughed lightly and swung it.
"It's still sturdy, bet she's got a few tricks in her still." The Mare said.
She then gasped and covered her muzzle again.
Why did I say that? I've never seen this sword and I'm talking like I've used it for my whole...life.
The Mare scratched her head in trying to remember but rubs it off and puts the sword in its sheath, and she straps it around her body.
"Alright...now, how do I get out?"
Suddenly there was the sound of stone scraping and turning, the Mare walked out of the storage hall to see there actually was a way out, she slowly walked towards the opening way to reveal light, not sunlight but...moonlight, but moonlight was blue not red, right?
The Mare stepped onto the grass ground and looked up to see a red sky with a blood red moon. She was confused but soon something started hitting her mind, she started seeing ponies, they were normal and not anthromorphic, the purple mare collapsing to her knees as she holds her head.
...Helsing...you-
Helsing? Who was Helsing? That name didn't sound familiar to her.
Soon she then saw a crystal tree that shined blue and purple, somehow making her think what was so important about it, maybe it was her home?
It would...make sense since I'm an Alicorn apparently...goddesses I can't remember.
The Mare eased her hands that were
"My...name? My name, my name, my name, dammit! What is my name?!"
Soon she already remembered the vision...Helsing, was it her name? Or not? But at same time even if it wasn't, she needed something to call herself.
"Helsing...is it my name? I-I Guess I'll start using it for now." The Mare says.
Helsing starts walking, her hooves touching the grass, looking at her surroundings, the carved or chopped trees. Small little trails of fire were seen but weren't spreading, it looked like Tartarus, but it's life as if it was home at the same time.
As the Anthro Mare traverses, she walks by dead animals, some just lying there as if there were no wounds. Others were torn apart: guts, brains, blood, and bones showing. It grossed out Helsing and also shocked her, her hand covering her mouth.
"What...happened to this place?" She continues to walk, still couldn't stop staring at the torn up corpses.
Helsing kept looking around, still trying to think...who is she...and why was she in a tomb? The Mare kept thinking, she saw herself touching the tomb...as if she has never seen it...and her hand was a normal hoof, she then remembers herself screaming...'help'.
"I...I--oh sweet sisters..." She groaned with a hint of a frustrated growl as she smacked a hand to her head.
Helsing reached the end of the forest after a while but then she put both of her hands over her mouth as now she saw the corpses of ponies. Either limp or torn apart, it almost made her cry. It was so gruesome...she then noted one: she had a dark yellowish kind of fur, grey mane and such, but there were snapped glasses and that wasn't the only thing snapped, her jaw was snapped open as well...her tie ripped apart as well.
"M-Mayor...Mare...?"
Helsing remembered who she was, she was the Mayor of this town, Ponyville was it called again? The Alicorn looked up at Ponyville...almost every house and building either collapsed, or is excessively damaged, or still on fire. Along with the burnt trees and the fountain that was blood-splattered and not spewing out water.
The Mare looked away only to see the crystal tree she saw in her visions. It wasn't damaged like some of the other houses but it also looked like it was in different colors. Black and red, different from what she saw in her vision. Helsing ventured forth until she heard some screeches...and hisses.
"W-Who's there?"
The Purple Pony looked around, remembering she had a sword but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. She continued to be observant as she made her way to the damaged castle.
Just then the hisses became loud, suddenly four ponies appeared...they had pale and grey fur, their eyes irregular, some were yellow, some were red. They had torn clothes and gear. Three of them were stallions one was a mare.
"What's this? Fresh meat?" One of the ponies said.
"Heheheheheheh and I thought we killed everything here..."
Helsing noticed their teeth...a few of them were sharp and bigger than the others...it gave a slight fear to anyone maybe but Helsing was just curious.
"Who are you?"
The Ponies stopped and looked at each other, then laughed.
"What have you been living underground? We're the new alphas of this world...and this is our land."
"We're Vamponies missy, but I must say, I have never seen a pony like you before. One who stands on their two hind legs...wait."
The Vamponies then notice both wings and a horn.
"An Alicorn! That's impossible!"
The Vamponies hissed more...circling the Mare.
"We must take her to the castle...he will want her..."
"Oh, we will...but first, how about some power of our own?" The Vampony hissed and attempted to pounce on Helsing.
Helsing gasped and shut her eyes...suddenly something in her mind flashed...as if time stopped.
Fight them...
What? Who's there?
Show them what a Slayer is...
But I'm not--
Everything flashed again and Helsing looked in front of her, she had the vampony's throat in her clutches. She slightly gasped...how did she do that?
"D-Don't j-just ssssstand there--gak! K-Kill her!"
The other three Vamponies hissed and stared at the Alicorn. Two of the vamps attempted a pounce as well, Helsing then threw the vampony in her clutches at one of them and she suddenly kicked the other straight in the jaw, knocking them both back. The fourth one then sprinted towards her, Helsing was figuring out what to do...even though she doesn't remember being a fighter...was she?
Sword, now!
Helsing blinked and she quickly unsheathed the sword...the vampony now jumped at her, the silver shined in the vampony's eyes and then, Helsing jabbed at him.
The other vamponies looked in shock...because once they looked they saw their friend's body limp. The sword the mare carried going through his mouth to the back of his head, blood dripping from the blade already.
The Mare was in slight shock at what she just did, but slowly something in her clicked...the images of the dead ponies, the dead animals. Then she had another vision, and it was covered in red; she saw the same creatures...the vamponies, killing the animals, the ponies and Mayor Mare.
Something truly clicked in Helsing, her eyes went red as if she was mad.
"You...you killed them, you killed her," Helsing growled, the dark tone in her voice grew during that sentence, removing the sword from the filthy dead body. The vamponies in shock, Helsing slowly walking towards the creatures, the tip of her blade cutting against the dead grass, "I thought I told you to stay in your prison monsters. "
"I'll tear you apart for that!" One of the vamponies shouted, sprinting at high speed towards her.
Helsing was unaffected by his strength as she then readied her sword...then slashed at the oncoming creature, cutting across its body, making the vamp fall back to the ground clutching his cut stomach.
"How is her sword h-hurting us?" The Creature stuttered.
Helsing cut him off, impaling the Monster straight into its brain, she then stomped straight onto his head, the skull shattering and the head exploding slightly, blood and parts covering her hoof and leg.
The two remaining Vamponies whimpered in fear as the Anthromorphic Mare killed two of their friends, and stayed frozen as the Mare approaches them. Her horn glowed blood red...the last stallion vampony starts slightly choking.
"N-No p-please--"
His neck was immediately snapped...killing him. Leaving the Vampony Mare left, the Anthro crouched down staring at her face to face. Her blood red eyes staring straight at her.
"Whoever you serve now, tell him or her...that I will come for them and I will never stop for one damn second tell them: your Slayer has returned. "
Helsing kicks the mare straight in the jaw, knocking her back and breaking her jaw slightly. She yelled in pain then immediately sprinted away in fear. The Alicorn huffs then turns and walks away, not caring about the castle now as if her mind just changed to something more important.
"There has to be survivors somewhere...tell me now."
As soon as she asks visions fill her mind, showing a city in the desert, it didn't look equestrian however but she saw ponies alive and well. The vision ends and she starts walking back into the forest, putting her sword back in its sheath.
"I need to regain my full strength before I do anything reckless...but at least I'm an Alicorn now."
Author's Note
Hoo boy, if you are an Underworld, Resident Evil, Alien, or a fan of some Female Badass movie series then you will love this...I took inspiration from mostly Underworld and Resident Evil and I wanted to make a Huntress kind of story who is legend or something, and I also wanted to make a story where finally it's not a crossover of another series or a Human in Equestria story.
Anyhoo in case you want to wonder what Twilight sounds like now...well just think Alice from Resident Evil...something like that...Milla Jovovich essentially XD
Anyhoo this will be very interesting and I hope you find it like that too.
Update: December 17th, 2019 - Got rid of a fuckton of the ellipsis and edited a few things so they make a bit more sense and or not feel rushed.
Twilight "Helsing" Sparkle: Vampire Slayer
Helsing was sitting against the log, adjusting the branches and wood in the fireplace with her sword, she sighed as she looked at her wings moving them around, her belly groaning as it needed food, but there wasn't much in this dead forest.
"Ugh...when can a pony get some food?" The Alicorn rubbed her stomach, looking around as then she stood up to see if there was at least some small food, she walked forwards around the fire, going into the dark dead forest...her horn glowing to make small light, she sees dead creatures again...their bodies molded and deformed with dried up blood.
"Fucking Vampires..." She growled as then she pushed some fingers to her temples...her mind slightly hurting as images popped into her head, a destroyed castle...six stone spheres...what?
"And fuck these...unwanted visions, what did they do to me while I was asleep?" She blinked her eyes and continued to trot forward as then there was a fresh corpse in front of her, she looked in surprise.
It was another Manticore, but it looked like as if it got itself into a situation, a large tree sat on its crushed head...and this looked recent...the flesh and blood was still fresh.
"What the hell happened to you?" Helsing walked up to the dead creature...she smelled the flesh and such...thinking, "Fuck...not like it's the first time, adapt and overcome." The Slayer unsheathes her sword and slices the forearm off, using her magic to lift it.
Helsing was sitting back at the fire, the Manticore arm rotating over the fire, cooking it and such, it was already cut from its fur properly...Helsing cleaning the blood and fur from her sword.
The Mare sighed as she watched her food cook, her sword going back in its sheath.
She also has another task for you, Make some friends!
She growled...hearing another voice...it sounded like it came from a young energetic colt.
"Friends? What memories are these?"
Just then, she heard grass rustling, Helsing immediately pulled her sword out and turned around, looking and carefully listening for the sound again...locating the source. Her Red Eyes piercing as she stared at the dark.
Then she felt a tug on her jeans, and she pointed her sword down and her head down to see her sword was tipped right at a little bunny who fell on its back, a bit frightened...Helsing sighed and sheathed her sword, and then she crouched at the bunny, it had a small mad look, crossing its cute little arms and pouncing its big foot against the ground.
"Don't give me that look, you think I'm not gonna keep my guard up for a bunny? Or a sound like that?" The Mare said to the little creature.
The Bunny stuck its tongue out at her and Helsing flicked its nose, "Hey be nice, I didn't hurt you did I?"
Angel Bunny! Where is--
An...gel...?
Helsing grabbed her head again as then she looked at the bunny...another image popped into her head...the same bunny, she then looks at him.
"I know you...I..don't know how but...I do, Angel Bunny?"
The Bunny smiled and bounced happily.
"How do I know you though?"
The Bunny made noises and sounds like it was attempting to communicate...but no good.
"If only I could talk to animals...I can't remember who I am." Helsing sighed.
The Bunny frowned lightly as if it lost hope or was...worried.
"Do you know who I am?"
Angel nods and smiles lightly.
"...Is there a place where others will know who I am?"
Angel nods again.
Helsing smiled, and saw her food was ready, "Well...then we'll head out once...it's not as dark here," The Mare levitated her food and blew on it, taking a bite...remembering it was meat, she groaned and chewed and swallowed, "Ugh...to be honest, It'll grow on you after a while."
Angel giggled.
"What's happening? It feels like as if I collided with someone else..."
"Who's there?"
"What? Wait...you're that voice back at...Ponyville..."
Everything was black all there was were two voices...both the same but have a different...tone.
"Who are you?"
"Helsing...I think."
"Well you're thinking is wrong, I'm Helsing....impostor."
"I'm not an impostor, I can't remember anything!"
"...I can't either."
"What? But you said you were Helsing."
"I am...but...I also have memories displaced...and they're not even mine...are they yours?"
"I don't know...what are they?"
"Nngh...ugh..."
Helsing sat up, it wasn't as dark now, indicated it was...morning somewhat, her eyes were purple like back at Ponyville and the Tomb.
"Ugh...A-Angel?"
The Bunny was still asleep with the fire put out.
The Mare lightly tapped the little creature and he squeaked...waking up and yawning, looking at the anthromorphic mare.
"We need to get going, I think those Vamponies will be out here looking for something to eat," The Mare stood up and picked the bunny up and sat him on her left shoulder, "Where can we find...friends of mine?"
The Bunny pointed Northeast, Helsing nodded and ventured forth, picking up the cooked arm and taking a bite from it as they walk.
"Okay it's slowly not getting bad...oh sweet goddesses now anyone I come across will think I'm a Vampony." Helsing lightly laughed.
Angel giggled a bit.
"Fluttershy would lose her mind--"
Both Helsing and Angel's eyes widened.
"F-Flutter...shy?"
Angel squeaked at Helsing, trying to say something.
"Did...you know her?"
Angel nodded quickly, then does a loving nuzzle...saying something.
"Is she...your owner?"
Angel tilted his paw left and right.
"So...yes and no?"
The Bunny nodded happily.
"Fluttershy...I'll remember that name...hopefully she'll be at the place you say she is at...wait."
Her vision returns when she used her magic to locate life, survivors, ponies...a desert...a town.
"Angel...was this place...in a desert?"
The Bunny looked in surprise and nodded once more.
"Perfect...then that means there are survivors and some know me!"
Helsing smiled excitingly, "Excellent, I can find out...who I am." Her smile slightly leaving her as then she felt...tears...but why?
Angel looked in worry...wondering what's wrong.
She stood there frozen, was it a sad memory returning to her? Something else?
Helsing...I--
Don't you fucking dare! Don't even think about it!
Helsing sniffed as then she breathed again, wiping her tears.
"I-I'm fine...Angel...just...a memory returning to me...but it doesn't feel like my memory...yet at the same time it does."
Angel tilted his head in confusion, but lightly nuzzled her in comfort.
"Thanks...l-lets go."
"Say that again... "
"S-She said to tell y-you...'I am coming for you...and I will never stop...Y-Your Slayer has Returned.'"
A Growl is heard as well as the shatter of glass...revealing some light but not enough since it is nighttime...however red glowing eyes were revealed with red trails coming from them.
"She is awake...and no doubt she will tear each one of us apart and bathe in our blood. "
"W-Who is she?"
"She is known to be the Vampire Slayer newblood...so I will say I do not blame you for not being able to kill her...as well as running away, she is a force to be reckoned with...and not fucked with. "
"D-Does this mean our Reign will fall?"
"No...we will make sure that doesn't happen...you get some rest young vampire, you're lucky to survive her and not your friends. "
"They weren't r-really my friends but...yeah."
The Vampony Mare walked away, limping with her broken forehoof.
"Is it Helsing? It should be but...she isn't an Alicorn. "
"Sir...we may have found where the rest of Equestria's Civilization is at, Including the Princesses."
The Vampony looked out a large recently broken window...looking down at Ponyville as crystal chunks lightly blocked the view, "Send some Scouts there, if they do spot them, they'll know what to do. "
"Yes, sir."
"There's your food for today...and there's your food...and Angel there's--oh...that's right."
Soon enough a door opened, and a pony trotted in.
"You alright Flutters?"
"Yeah...I just miss Angel."
"Don't lose too much hope we didn't see him...well...you know."
"If he is still alive...how will he get to us...it took us a couple days to even get here."
"True..."
Author's Note
Sorry for a short chapter but this is basically a Build Up Chapter, and I'm also working on another chapter at the moment as well so this chapter didn't take me long because this was gonna be a build-up chapter and such.
Twilight "Helsing" Sparkle: Vampire Slayer
*Inserts what I'm referencing in the Chapter name* ...also something to listen while you read XD
...or unless you think Metal fits for this story then here you go
Helsing and the Bunny were now walking in desert territory, as trails of burnt grass were now gone, they looked at the blood sky...it was a shade of lighter red now with a burning sun, she sighed as she kept trotting and trotting. The sands blowing in the wind...shrouds of it sticking to her fur, mixing with the dry blood on her as well. Her mane moving in the wings, blocking one of her eyes. Helsing kept one hand on her sword as the sheath moved around in the wind, she tightened the grip on it so it wouldn't move as much, along with the hand still held onto it.
"So...Angel, how long has Equestria been like this?" Helsing asked.
Angel Bunny held up one finger.
"One Month?"
Angel shook his head.
"Year?"
Angel nods.
"Sweet Goddesses...hopefully, this town shouldn't be too far," Helsing says, sighing.
The two continue their walk as then they approach Train Tracks, she then notices little pieces of shrapnel.
Well hopefully this will lead me somewhere.
Helsing starts walking up the tracks, seeing where this will lead her.
Angel then looks at Helsing and pats her, indicating they don't have time.
"Oh yeah...but, I think we'll be alright, I just want to see where this will lead us to."
Angel facepalms but he couldn't just grab onto Helsing and drag her.
-1 Hour Later-
Helsing and Angel start to see even more shrapnel and debris. Soon they look up ahead and they both look in surprise.
What was in front of them was a crashed Train...most of the cars were on its side or some were straight up torn in half or apart, the leading one was on fire and in pieces as well.
"Holy shit," Helsing says.
The Anthro Mare starts walking up to the destroyed train, making sure she doesn't step on anything sharp...but she also noticed bodies of dead ponies...either burned, impaled, or ripped apart like some of the train cars...she took note of one hanging against the wall of a torn train car...it was hanging there because of a large shrapnel pierced in its body.
"Oh fuck...oh my goddesses." She looked away...but then back as she walked up to him, "He...he...looks familiar."
The Pierced Earth Pony had a yellow body, he had blonde and orange hair, he also had a brown leather vest on with a brown cowboy hat on, and his Cutie Mark was one of an Apple.
"Ugh...that's it...let's go Angel...lead the way again."
Angel pointed in the Direction again and they started walking once more...they pass by a Buffalo however which looked like the killings of a Vampire, Helsing immediately looked around, she then growled...her eyes turning red.
"Of course fucking Vampires had something to do with this, why am I not surprised?"
Angel looked at Helsing in worry but then she shook her head and exhaled...her eyes back to normal, "Let's go."
The Blood Sunlight lit up the room lightly as two Pegasuses were snuggled up together, a Yellow Pegasus with Pink Hair and a Blue one with Rainbow Hair.
However...the yellow one's fur was pretty dull and greyish...her hair was a mess too, but soon the yellow one moaned lightly as she stirred. Her blue eyes opening as she immediately got up. She looked back at her Pegasus friend and she walked into a Mirror...soon she whimpers in pain as her blue eyes soon changed to red, sharp teeth poking through her muzzle as she whimpered again, she opened her now bat-like wings and left the room.
The Vampony looked around and opened a cabinet in her home, revealing a plastic box, she opens it and it was filled with blood bags...she whimpered...small tears forming as she latched onto one and started drinking the blood...quickly sipping it up as her hair color and fur color started to not look dull anymore as her hair didn't look as messy now, she looked around and finished the bag...throwing it away and putting the box back...she sighed.
"Fluttershy...?"
She gasps.
Helsing sighs as she kept on walking, the sands getting harsher in the wind as the Anthro Mare put an arm in front of her to block the sand. Angel moved to the back of Helsing's neck to keep himself protected from the windy sands.
She noticed a sign, half buried in the sand which said 'Bone Dry Desert, K--' the rest of the words have rusted off. The winds began to get worse and worse, Helsing growled in annoyance, wishing she had something to cover her head or something.
"If anything, a Sandstorm is coming...we better find someplace safe," Helsing says...she then looks around, "If we ever do find some kind of shelter." She sighs and keeps traversing through the sand. As she walked she notices pawprints...one of a cat.
The Mare then soon began to run, thinking there might be something up ahead. She ran up a small sandy hill...going over it and sliding down...she then sees an industrial town, smoke coming from pipes on the top of the town, houses built against cliffs and jagged small pillars and after that town...an ocean.
Helsing remembered the Desert Town...this one was very different.
"This is not the place...but looks about a few miles away...do you remember the name of the town?"
Angel nodded.
"Maybe we can find a book of locations on Equis, then point at the one."
Soon hisses were heard and Helsing immediately gripped her sword, her eyes changing to red...she listened...and heard trotting, she then opened her eyes and unsheathed her sword, turning around using her sword as a shield as then a blood and sand covered vampony screeched at Helsing, now was being pushed back by the sword, it kept chomping its teeth and its eyes were dead-like.
"Mindless," Helsing said as then immediately she knocked the feral vampony back and slashed at the pony, cutting its head off...slowly sliding off as then it made a death rattle. Soon enough more started to sprint towards Helsing, she readied her Sword, "C'mon,"Helsing then gasps lightly as then her eyes turn Violet again. Soon one pounced on Helsing...making her drop her Sword, she then remembers that she could do this...she immediately grabbed her sword and hesitantly at first but then cut into the Vampony's neck, then quickly decapitating it. She quickly got up and turned around again, thrusting her sword forward into a Vampony's head, piercing through its brain. She gasped and pulled the sword out...dripping with blood and small guts, she spotted a Vampony right behind her...soon she used her wings on instinct, she flew up and behind the Vampony, somersaulting backwards as she did, landing perfectly on her hooves, the Vampony turns around and Helsing threw her sword like a Spear...impaling straight into its mouth and out the back...it wasn't dead however...put it was stuck as it screeched. Helsing's eyes soon changed back to Red.
"Whoa," Helsing looked at her wings in surprise, "Didn't think I could use those so easily," She chuckled and walked towards the impaled Vampony, she crouched and looked at it...releasing a small tear as it screeched again.
"I'm sorry." Helsing sighed...then growled as she pushed the vampony's body to the ground...Helsing pulling the sword out and immediately piercing its heart...it stopped screeching and it exhaled.
Helsing looked behind her, "You alright Angel?"
The Bunny crawled out from Helsing's Tank Top...he was shaking a bit.
"It's alright...they're gone, let's go."
The two moved towards the town...upon entering they are greeted with many different creatures such as Pig-Like ones or Lizard-Like...there were many variations, however all anthro like herself so at least she had something that wouldn't make her too much of an outsider...besides the colorfulness and the light clothing she wears compared to most having worn out cloaks and such.
"Stay hidden," Helsing whispers to Angel, who does so.
Helsing kept her hand on her blade at this point as she noticed some eyes staring at her, one licking their lips. She growls lightly, looking the other way as some also looked away from her...noticing some blood on her clothing and face.
Soon enough, a Lizard-like Creature blocked her way and chuckled, "Hehe, you seem like a lost mare don't you hm?"
"Possibly, tell me do you know any names of any Desert Towns like this one? Or a book that can tell me that kind of information?" Helsing asked.
"Well around here missy, you want something, you got to give something...ya got anything to offer?" He grins, his sharp teeth revealed.
"Not anything that would be valuable to you or that I can give away, If you aren't going to be of help then I will be on my way--"
"Ah ah ah, but you do have something to offer...yourself pretty mare." The Lizard smirked.
Helsing gripped her sword until two other Lizard creatures grabbed her arms, pulling her into an alleyway...the main one looking straight at her.
"Ah you are a beauty missy, didn't think any Anthromorphic Ponies ever exist...but I'm looking at one right now," The Lizard stuck his tongue out...licking her cheek as the two laughed, "I've noticed the blood on you...quite a mess you are...how does a mare like yourself get blood on her?" He stared straight at her...licking her chin as his fingers began to trail her breasts and neck.
Helsing struggled and growled...then looked down, noticing her legs weren't restrained, "Like this."
The Anthro Mare kicked the Lizard straight in the chin, making him chomp on his own tongue which ended up him yelling in pain as then Helsing used both of her hooves to kick him against the wall, his two buddies loosen their hands around her in surprise which gave her opportunity, she quickly elbows one of them straight in the muzzle which makes him unhand Helsing. She then grips onto the other Lizard which both of her hands and knees him in the crotch, immediately sending him down to the ground, she then goes back to the Lizard with the now hurt muzzle and sends a fist into his stomach, another to his muzzle again which sends him down.
The main one gets up and grabs onto Helsing from the back, she chuckled and grabbed him and flipped him forward and onto his back, right in front of Helsing now...not fucking around, she pulls out her sword and presses a hoof on his chest.
The two Lizards see Helsing dominating their buddy and lightly whimper.
Helsing looks back at the two, her Blood Eyes almost flashing at them, "Beat it."
They do so as then Helsing crouches down and taps the sword against the ground, next to the Lizard's head...he whimpers himself.
"Maybe think with your other head next time, so I'll ask you some questions...one, what is this place called?"
"Ffffthcuk you bitth! You piettth my tongue!" He says his tongue obviously pierced from his own sharp teeth...blood spitting out with every syllable, along with the cracked jaw.
Helsing slapped him across his muzzle and clutched it, her Blood eyes staring straight into his reptilian eyes, "That's not what I fucking asked you...let's try again, What is this place called?"
"Klugtthown!!" He said.
"Klugetown?"
He nods.
"Well at least I can understand you...alright...how about this...what's your name?"
"L-Louitth!"
"Louise? Hm...alright...Louise, do you know any names of any Desert Towns besides this one? If not...do you have or know where I can find a book regarding that kind of info?" Helsing asked.
"I...I donth!!! B-But thind Capper! He lith in a library!" Louise says.
"Hm...alright...lastly, got any kind of cloak or anything that I can hood my head with?"
"Ffthuck you! Now you whant to rob meh?!" He growls through his cut tongue.
Helsing smirked and stood up, "No...a deal," Helsing tapped her sword against this crotch, "You give me something suitable for traveling in a desert and you don't have to say goodbye to scaly friend down here."
His eyes widen as then Helsing pressed her sword against it, "Othay othay othay!!! Pleth don't!!!" He whimpers.
Helsing stood him up and had him start walking to his cart nearby, he pulls out a very threaded cloak. It could cover her whole body and face, protecting her from winds and such.
"Hm...I'll take it...now, where can I find this Capper?"
He pointed up to a tower-like house, she smirked and spread her wings...flying up.
Helsing was on the doorstep of this 'Capper,' she knocked on the door.
"I hope this one is better deserved then the last one."
The door opened and soon an anthro cat wearing a red coat opened the door.
"Oh...hello there, May I help you?"
"Capper, correct?"
"Er...yes of course." He answers in confusion.
"I'm looking for a book that might tell me a specific location here on Equis...I've been told you have many books in your inventory." Helsing had her hood up and her hair covering one of her eyes while one still showed the blood red color.
"Ah yes...you've heard right...would you like to come in and look for yourself?" Capper asks.
"My pleasure," She smirks and comes in...immediately walking towards the bookshelves.
"Do you have a name, Miss?"
The Mare looked back at him and thought is there really a point in being too incognito?
"Helsing." She answers, looking closely at each book.
"Hm, interesting name...are you sure you don't have another name?" He asks, closing the door.
"Why do you ask that?" Helsing asks back, soon enough she pulls a book out from the shelf and begins rubbing the dust off of it.
"Your scent is...familar...if that makes sense to you." Capper says.
"No...it doesn't--wait...do you know who I am?" Helsing asks, looking at the Cat.
His green eyes almost glowing at Helsing as he looked at her Blood eyes, "Take off the hood so I can see your face...maybe that'll help."
Helsing was hesitant since he could be lying and the last one didn't go well...but she could take him if this was a trick...she slowly removes her hood...her mane drifting and such, her purple coat with the dark violet and pink strand mane, along with her horn with the small dry blood trail on her right cheek.
Capper's eyes widened and he lightly smiled, "Twilight."
Helsing looked confused as he said that name, "Twilight?"
"That's you, you're Twilight! What...happened to you?" The Cat attempted to put a paw to her cheek but she stopped him and looked a bit down...silent.
"I...don't remember...as far as I can remember...my name is Helsing and I've always been like this...an Anthro Mare...better yet a Bipedal Alicorn."
"I remember you though...you and your friends came here before and...I regrettably did something stupid...but I helped you in the end and we became friends."
"I..."
You were...you were going to sell us?!
I knew it! We gotta get out of here!
"You tried...to sell me and my...friends?" She looked at Capper in an uneasy way.
"Uh...well I tried to but--"
"What kind of friend does that may I ask?" Helsing asks, now getting a bit ticked off.
"Now hold on! I regret that day because...you all were nice to me and all I cared about was repaying a dept...but then me and a couple others came to your rescue from the Storm King...remember?"
Helsing tried to think...see if she could remember such a memory.
Move them hooves, ponies!
Helsing gasped...remembering another memory.
"You did...you...helped stop The Storm King and help Tempest--"
Helsing's eyes widened.
"Tempest..."
Well, that's one thing that never changes around here, the parties.
Well, I hope you'll stay. More friends are definitely merrier.
But, um... my horn.
You know, your horn is pretty powerful, just like the pony it belongs to.
Helsing's eyes turned back to violet as then a small tear escapes.
"Is my name Twilight? It's hard to struggle between...two names."
"It is Twilight, I remember when I first met you, you were a normal pony and not Anthro like me." Capper says.
The mare sighs and then immediately breathes, "Do you know where the ponies are at now? Where I can find them?"
"After those creatures attacked I left with the ponies and I told your friends I'm coming back here and if they ever need me then they can come to me. They said they were going to a Pony Region outside Equestria...Saddle Arabia or something?" Capper said.
Immediately Angel Bunny popped out and smiled, bouncing at that name.
"Gah! Who is that?" The Cat looks in surprise.
"This is Angel Bunny...one of Fluttershy's closest friends...and pet...somewhat, anyway," Helsing immediately opened the book...looking at the labels and locations, "Here it is!" Helsing lit up...actually smiling.
Capper stood next to the Mare and looked.
"It's only about maybe like a few hours away? I'd have to find way to go past the ocean...either around or find a boat or something." Helsing said.
"Actually...I can help you there." Capper says.
"Really? Can you?" The Mare asks.
"Of course, you're my friend and I believe I do still owe you one after the last time you were here, plus you need to get back to your friends...they're all scared and they miss their friend Twilight." Capper says.
"Y-Yeah," Helsing then looks out the window to see the Sandstorm taking effect, "Well head out once this storm clears I guess...plus...walking here wasn't really pleasant."
"I bet, anyway, you can take my bed over there...I'll wake you once we're good." The Cat smiles.
Helsing surprisingly walks up to the Cat, hugging him.
"Oh um..."
"Thank you...you helped me regain lots of memories today, you really are a true friend Capper."
The Cat smiled and hugged her back, "No problem."
Helsing slowly moved into the bed and Angel moved next to her head, she then smirked, "Don't try to put me in a cage in my sleep."
Capper lightly chuckled, "Hey, you have my word."
Helsing smiled and moved the covers over her.
Twilight...Helsing? Which one is my true name? It's so confusing...but...at least I know more about myself.
Author's Note
WHOO! This was actually a fun one to write, and oh my goodness, the MLP Movie is apart of this story?! Yes, it is, I wanted to use more worlds, ones that may not have that much attention, Klugetown is an interesting place and thought maybe I can use that as well as Saddle Arabia.
And as for that, from the only thing we know about Saddle Arabia is that it is another Pony Nation but the ponies look different and they have their own rulers...dunno if they're horses there, but I don't know if they're outside Equestria or not, and to me I think they are since they have their own diplomats and such.
So in case to help your imagination of Twilight's voice...I guess you can say, Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil essentially?
So quick funny fact: Louise is an actual Lizard Character in the My Little Pony Movie where in the movie he attempted to buy Spike...his name is only mentioned in the mobile game I believe? I researched some things while doing this chapter so yeah XD
Also just in case, I might include a song at the beginning of each chapter that I think fits for the story and/or chapter and for you guys who like to listen to music while reading, because I do such a thing...in fact, I have music playing when I do type :)
Anyhoo, my name is Hunter and I am the author that chooses to stay up overnight to type because apparently, I get my ideas better at night then the day because fuck me!
In other words, I am tired as shit...goodnight. *Slams head onto Keyboard and passes out*
Zzz....
Twilight "Helsing" Sparkle: Vampire Slayer
Yeah this is by the same artists, We Came As Romans is an Underrated Metal Band to me, they are really good, I recommend trying them out.
"When did this come back Flutters?"
Fluttershy...sobbing as she hid behind her mane, "Before, you and the rest came to get me...a Vampony was already in my home, he bit me and my...condition came back...but somehow I was able to control it...but I d-do...have a thirst."
"Whose blood is this?"
"Animals...any I could pick up...it..I-I-I--" Fluttershy broke down, sobbing.
The Blue Pegasus hugged her friend tightly.
"So you're the reason why there had been a couple dead animals...and we thought there was a Vampony actually here."
"T-There is...me...I'm sorry that I scared you and the others...b-but I was afraid that you'd...you'd--"
The Blue Pony nuzzled her, "Fluttershy, Me and the others would do no such things, the Princesses wouldn't either."
"R-Really...Dashie?" Fluttershy says, her blood eyes looking straight at her.
"Of course, Flutters...that's what friends are for," Dash says.
"T-Thank you..."
"Now...do you wish to keep this a secret or should we gather up the others and the princesses?"
"I...I..."
"It's okay Flutters, I'll keep your secret--"
"No, I...I shouldn't have to hide this from you or my friends, you all trust me and if there is something, then I should say something." Fluttershy says.
"Alright...I'll gather up the others," Rainbow says.
"So...a Vampony made it possible again?" An Orange Earth Pony who had a blonde ponytail and a cowmare hat on asked.
Fluttershy nods, "A-At least I don't have a thirst for your apples...Applejack."
Applejack awkwardly chuckles, knowing she's trying to lighten the mood, but she could tell she was still scared to say this.
"Oh Darling, you should've told us, we would've helped you from the start...even the Princesses would." A White Unicorn with a styled purple mane asked.
"I know Rarity...but you n-never know how anypony would r-react...especially the rest of the ponies here," Fluttershy replies.
"We all would've supported you Fluttershy." A Pink Pony asks, her mane and tail all poofy.
"That's right," A Dark Violet colored Unicorn looked at Fluttershy, with her broken horn and the scarred eye, "You accepted me after what I did...why wouldn't we accept you for what you are now? We know you wouldn't hurt anyone...same went for...Starlight."
The Ponies looked down after hearing that name.
Soon all the ponies walked up to her and hugged her.
"Thank you, Pinkie...Tempest...thank you all."
"We're your friend Flutters, nothing would ever change that." Applejack says.
"I...I miss Twilight, she would've helped find a way to reverse this." Fluttershy says.
"We all do darling, we all do."
Tempest tried to not let out a tear after hearing Twilight's name.
"Uhn..."
"Hey, Twi,"
"Nnn..."
Capper lightly grins as then he pulls the blanket off of the Anthro Alicorn.
"Ugh...fuck off and let me rest for another year." The Mare groaned and turned her body.
Capper lightly surprised at her language but lightly chuckled, "Damn you definitely changed Twi," Capper grabbed a satchel and wrapped it around his feline body, "The sandstorm cleared, so we should probably head to Saddle Arabia."
"Ughnnn...alright."
The Mare slowly got up and rubbed her eyes, her long hair a mess and in a bedhead-like style. She grabs her sword and sheath, wrapping the strap around her waist.
"And I snagged a couple things for you since you're in new territory."
Capper holds out a couple leather black fingerless gloves, besides covering her hands...partially, they covered the first half of her arms and stopped at her elbow as there was a buckle on each glove, she smirked and put them on, tightening the straps on them. The Cat then pulls out some...knee pads, she happily took them and tightened them, knocking on them to feel that they were comfortable and could move perfectly in them.
"Thanks, Capper...Angel, you awake and ready?" The Mare asked.
Soon the White Bunny crawled out of her tank top and yawned, then nodded.
Helsing giggled and the three headed towards the ship, she lifted the hood and covered her head from the sun with her new Cloak.
After a bit of walking and traveling down stairs and slopes, they reach the docks, seeing there was a ship.
"After the Storm King Downfall...I took one of his old ships and repainted it, now it's my personal traveling ship or...relaxing ship, I use this to visit the ponies in Saddle now." Capper said.
The two board the ship and Capper readied the sails, undoing the ropes around the dock, and got the wheel in position.
"Well Twilight, shall we go see your friends again?"
Helsing...Twilight struggled with two names, thinking which one was truly hers.
"Ugh...Capper...can you call me Helsing until more memories tell me who I really am?"
"Twilight what are you talking about, as far as I can tell, your name has always been Twilight."
The Mare sighed and groaned as then she went into the quarters of the ship, "Let's just go, let me know when we get there."
Capper looked at her with worry...he sighs, "Alright,"
The Anthro Alicorn sat down and clutched her head, groaning.
"Fucking...memories...they're so confusing...some of them don't...fit...together."
It was daytime in Ponyville, the birds chirping as then slowly The Dark Violet Unicorn Tempest groaned as she slowly began to wake up, her eyes slowly slid open, and on cue, somepony was knocking on her door.
"Come in."
The Door opened and it was Twilight, the Purple Alicorn trotted over to Tempest as she levitated a tray of breakfast, "Morning Tempest, how did you sleep?"
"Like I haven't slept in months, I feel good." She smiled.
"I'm happy to hear that, anyway Starlight made you breakfast, she and Spike are going out to visit Fluttershy so it's just me and you today."
"Really? Well I mean at least that means nothing can interrupt us from having a nice conversation...b-but...why do you let me stay here and everything? Shouldn't I be rotting in a dungeon?"
"Tempest we went over this already...five times, I excused you of that, I believe in forgiveness, I do it a lot and many may not agree with my actions but if I don't forgive, I'd be a terrible Princess of Friendship."
"True...but I almost killed you and your friends."
"Not the first time we were threatened with that Tempest, plus...you saved my life in the end...I am grateful for that and it proved you can be forgiven. You're an amazing Unicorn Tempest, don't ever forget that."
Tempest lightly blushed from that...everyday she felt more comfortable with Twilight and no one else really, she could just talk to her for hours and hours.
"I'm not as amazing as you, Princess." Tempest teased.
"Oh be quiet Tempest, just because I'm a Princess, doesn't mean I'm better, I don't even like the title of Princess that much."
"Really?" Tempest looked in surprise.
Twilight nodded and lied next to Tempest, smiling.
"It was a title I never asked for but I had to get used to it, and I did, I may not like it but my role in Equestria is strong for all the ponies that live here, including you, If I can forgive you then many others can,"
Tempest looked away, but then Twilight put a hoof to her cheek and had her look at the Alicorn still, "I truly can believe that."
The Dark Violet Unicorn scooted closer to Twilight...beginning to move her foreleg around the Alicorn, lightly blushing.
Twilight began to blush as well, soon she...began to nuzzle Tempest.
"Thank you Twilight."
"You're welcome...Fizzle." She giggled at the tease.
Tempest held back a giggle and pushed her hoof against Twilight's shoulder.
"Can we...stay like this for a bit?" Tempest asked.
Twilight blushed and soon...she wrapped both of her forelegs around Tempest, her doing the same, "Of course."
The Anthro Mare had her arms around a pillow, her fingers clutched into the cushion as she then kissed it.
Helsing...
A Grey Anthro Unicorn Mare with a long Black Mane and Red Eyes had her arms wrapped around an anthro Stallion, both rune marks scarred into them as their half-naked bodies were clutched together.
"Dante," The Mare whispered as they kissed passionately.
The loving anthro pony couple groaning as their grips tightened, soon enough a bell began to rung. The two stopped and the Mare lightly growled.
"Damn old pony can't go ten minutes without needing something."
The Shadow Coated and White Haired Stallion chuckled at his lover, "Oh calm down Helsing, let's just go see what the Master requests." He kisses her again.
"Heh, alright, but I hope we'll get more time to ourselves after."
"Don't jinx it."
The Mare had light tears leave her eyes...the memories that couldn't match made her head hurt.
"Who am I? What the fuck am I?" She groans.
"Twilight--er...Helsing! We're approaching Saddle!" Capper yelled and knocked on the door.
"That...quick?" Helsing asked, Capper not hearing her normal pitch, she adjusts her gloves and kneepads and straps the sword around her again and puts the cloak around herself instead of a blanket like earlier. The Mare exits the quarters, going upstairs and seeing the sandy town up ahead, she approaches Capper and stands next to him.
"How long were we sailing?" Helsing asks.
"You mean how long were you passed out and making out with a pillow? About two hours." Capper chuckles.
Helsing lightly blushed, "Never speak of that ever again...more memories were returning."
"Ooh, I see." Capper winks.
Helsing hit the back of his head, giving a smirk at him.
After a while the ship weighs anchor, getting to the docks.
Helsing, Capper, and Angel who was on the Mare's shoulder all walk through the docks, approaching a checkpoint, two Equestrian Guards and a Saddle Arabia Equine Guard stood there...the Saddle guard was about three inches taller than Helsing. The two looked at the anthro mare who had her hood on, her mane covering one of her eyes.
"Capper is it?" The Guard asks.
"Hey, you got it this time!" The Cat says, chuckling.
"Yep...who's your friend?" The Guard asks.
"Oh her? Helsing, she's been traveling to get here." Capper says.
"Uh-huh...and what's with the sword?" The Guard asks.
Helsing lightly sighs, "Why do you think?"
"No, I don't think why." The Guard says, walking up to the Anthro Mare.
"Vamponies, you think I'm not going to defend myself?" Helsing says.
"I doubt a lady like you can handle vamponies." The Guard chuckles, his buddy doing so as well.
"Excuse me?" Helsing says, sounding somewhat irritated now, she walks up to him and stares at him, her red eye looking into him.
"That's enough you two." The Saddle Guard says to the guards then walks to the two visitors, "Sorry about that...welcome back Capper, and Welcome...Madam Helsing to Saddle Arabia." The Gentlestallion Guard smiled and moved out the way so the two could enter.
Capper smiled at Helsing, "C'mon, let's go find your friends."
Helsing smiled back.
My friends.
The two walked through alleyways and walkways, as they did, they saw Saddle Equines, Equestrian Equines, even some other species such as Gryphons.
Soon enough there was a group up ahead...as the two got closer, the equestrian ponies looked at them...staring.
"I guess they're not keen on outsiders or something." Helsing whispers.
"Anyone can change after they experienced something."
"They've experienced Hell, that's what...and three things can happen...those that become more paranoid and prone to violence to anything that even looks at them funny, and those that become scared and worried for themselves...those two do not collide very well...and last are the ones that become lifeless, have either lost hope or moved on, just waiting for the end."
"Which one are you then?" Capper asks.
"I'm one of the few that knows what might or will happen, but right now I only give a shit about two things right now," Helsing says as she just keeps walking...ignoring the staring ponies and horses.
"Alright...well stay here, I'm gonna grab us some food, I'm hungry," Capper says.
"Hey, that sounds good...here let Angel come with you because he's picky about his food," Helsing says.
"Heh...alright," Capper has Angel hop onto his shoulder and the two head off real quick.
Helsing just trotted for a bit until she then bumps into somepony, she looks down to see two ponies, a White Unicorn with Purple Hair and a Yellow Pegasus with Pink Hair, both mares.
"Oh um...s-s-s-sorry about that..." The Pegasus looked frightened because of her size.
"Oh we terribly apologize dear," The Unicorn says with a Fancy kind of Accent.
"It's no problem, this place can be crowded after all," Helsing says.
"True to that, darling...my dear can I say your style is a bit ruggish." She says.
"Um...what's it to you?" Helsing says, looking slightly annoyed.
The Unicorn could tell she didn't want to hear that and immediately backed off, "Oh well um...s-sorry about that."
The Pegasus looked at the Anthro and could see her red eye...Helsing could see her eyes...they shined blue...but they blinked red.
Helsing's eyes slightly widened from that.
Son of a bitch...
The Mare suddenly used her horn...the Pegasus was suddenly still and was confused, the Unicorn was also stopped.
"What...what's going on?" The Unicorn asks.
Helsing then manipulated their movement and had them walk into an alley...away from the crowd...same went for Helsing as then soon the two stood frozen.
"What d-do you want? I-I'm sorry about insulting your clothing!"
Helsing's eyes glowed as then she growled.
"You think you can easily hide Vampony?" The Mare growled.
"W-What? How did--"
"It's what I do...I kill your kind like I've been doing for centuries, what you don't know who I am?"
The Pegasus whimpers...looking scared.
"You gonna beg for mercy?" Helsing growled.
No!
Helsing suddenly froze as then suddenly images of the Yellow Pegasus popped into her mind...soon she releases the spell and puts her hands on Fluttershy carefully.
"Look at me." Helsing calmly says.
"W-What?"
"Look into my eyes." She says...sounding like she now had regret.
The Pegasus did so...Helsing looked back at her...her horn tapped the Mare's head and soon she saw visions...She saw her getting unwillingly bitten by a Vampony, she saw her crying as she was in pain...as well as seeing parts of her body shift painfully...like her teeth.
"Victim..." Helsing says.
She then sees her in that form in an Apple Orchard...and it reforming back to normal from a spell.
"Curse..."
Soon she sees herself with the Mare and soon she remembered again. Helsing lightly gasped...as she looked at Fluttershy.
"Fluttershy..."
Fluttershy looked at the Mare in surprise, "How do you know who I am and...what I am?"
"I...I...ugh...memories are overlapping...It's so hard."
Helsing clutched her head, the hood lightly sliding, revealing her mane.
Fluttershy's eyes widened, "Wait," She then takes the hood off.
Helsing stopped clutching her head and she looked at Fluttershy...and Rarity.
The two Mares then gasped, Rarity having her mouth covered and Fluttershy...just shocked.
"Oh my goodness," Fluttershy says, she moves a bit closer and examines if it's really her, "Twilight?"
Rarity suddenly faints, lying on the ground.
"Helsing? Where are you--" Capper shows up with some food, but freezes, seeing Fluttershy and Rarity.
Fluttershy looks over to the Feline, "Capper...w-who's that on your shoulder?"
Angel Bunny hops and actually smiles happily, waving.
Fluttershy then faints.
Helsing sighs as then she picks up both ponies, not having trouble.
"C'mon let's go find my other...friends." Helsing sighed, looking annoyed as she passes by Capper.
"W-Wait, don't you want your sandwich?" Capper asks.
The two walked as both carried one of the two passed out ponies.
"How close is the house they meet in you say?" Helsing asks.
"About a couple feet on the right of us," Capper says.
Helsing looks to her right...seeing through the windows that it seemed to house many ponies, but she then sees a little purple and green dragon through the window...holding something.
"Put my hood on Capper," Helsing said.
Capper does so and Helsing's hair and face is covered, helping her cover her muzzle as well, her red eyes only showing, Capper then knocks on the door.
"Who is it?" The Young Dragon asks.
"It's Capper!"
"What?" Spike quickly comes to open the door and soon sees him and a the hooded Helsing holding his friends.
"They were passed out in the Market," Capper says.
Spike moves out of the way to let Capper in, soon he sees the hooded Helsing walk in.
"Who's this?"
"Oh, she's a close friend of mine, she just wanted to come along, and she's the one who saw Fluttershy and Rarity passed out," Capper says.
"Oh, well great, let me get the others," Spike says, rushing upstairs.
Capper and Helsing put the two ponies on the bed, Helsing sighing.
"I will tell them myself alright?" Helsing said, looking at the anthromorphic cat.
Capper nodded and soon saw Spike coming back downstairs, with four other ponies.
"Capper!" Most of the ponies said with happiness.
"It's great to see ya again," Applejack says.
"Good to see you too Applejack, all of you crazy ponies," Capper says as he chuckles.
"So who's your friend there Capper?" Applejack says.
"Friend of mine, she's been a close friend for a while now."
Applejack's brow lightly raised...already knowing something is up, but she'd worry about it later, two of her friends are passed out right now after all.
"Capper says his friend found them passed out."
"Do you know how they passed out?" Rainbow asks.
"No, I do not," Helsing replies.
The Mares and Spike were somewhat taken back by the cold tone, seriousness, and darkness in her voice...Applejack just stared at her, getting more suspicious as she could see another lie.
"Maybe it was just exhaustion...it is hot out here after all," Tempest says, suddenly appearing in Helsing's Vision...her eyes widen.
"Excuse me...do you have a washroom anywhere?" Helsing asks.
"Yeah, let me show you." Applejack says.
"It's fine, I can find it on my own,"
"Trust me, this house is pretty big."
Helsing sighed lightly and nodded letting her show the way, the two walking through a light hallway.
"Interesting Sword you got there Miss." Applejack says.
"Thank you...need to protect myself from Vamponies somehow."
"No doubt, our home is completely taken over by them,"
"So I hear, I'm sorry to hear that...did you lose anyone?" Helsing asks.
Applejack was a bit hesitant but then looked at her, "Their names were Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer."
Star...light?
"Well, at least she won't live to see how much Hell itself in Equestria."
"Hell?"
"Tartarus is threatening with monsters and such created by Faust herself to cage them, but Hell cages the worst, the most bloodthirsty, and the ones that will show no mercy to any species including their own, they are savages." Helsing answers.
"So the Vamponies are one of theirs?" Applejack asks.
"Was, now they're free and they are as brutal as they were hundred thousand years ago."
"Hundred Thousand years ago? Never heard of books dating that far...Equestrian wise." Applejack says.
"I'd be surprised if there was...most things that happened in those times shouldn't be fully known."
"And how do you know that?" Applejack raising her eyebrow again.
"There are rare books that exist outside of Equestria, sometimes even old journals, magic orbs, or books that are written in dead languages," Helsing replies.
"Huh...Twilight would've loved hearing things like that." Applejack said.
"Was she a bookworm?" Helsing asked.
"Yeah, a big one, she was so smart and kind, she was always so focused on the tasks at hooves, making sure things were done yesterday. She was determined and that's why she was amazing and even became the Princess of Friendship. She was a fighter but only when needed and always gave second chances and was never cruel." Applejack says...then sniffs, wiping an eye.
"She sounds amazing, wish I met her..."
Fucking Ironic...fuck my life.
"Yeah...can I ask you something, miss?" Applejack asks.
"Sure and call me...Helsing."
"How did they pass out exactly?"
Helsing stared at Applejack.
"I don't know--"
"Now we both know that ain't true, I just told you about a close friend of mine...now you could at least do a courtesy and tell me why two of my other close friends are passed out like they saw something frightening." Applejack says.
Helsing lightly sighs again, "It was me, they passed out because of me."
"What?" Applejack getting bothered by that answer.
"Believe me when I say this...I have magic that can tell me who is a Vampony and who isn't, old magic that helps me with that, your friend Fluttershy gave off that energy of blood and soon I dragged them both into an alleyway and was about to take her out."
Applejack growled a bit with anger, "And what in Tartarus name stopped you hm?"
"Something stopped me and then I checked her...and I found out she is a Victim...in other words, innocent. I saw that she hasn't taken one innocent soul besides Animals but I understood why she did it...Vamponies need to feed on blood once a day otherwise they will slowly wither and die...I guess I frightened her a bit to the point where she and your other friend passed out."
"You're leaving something else out,"
"What?"
"Helsing, I need you to politely cut the bullshit and tell me the whole thing and not leave anything out of that sentence you said."
"...Not right now." Helsing said as she spotted the washroom's door open, immediately shutting it as she immediately turns on the water and splashes her face, panting and emotions running high as more memories were beginning to play...it already began to make her sad.
"They're coming! We need to get to Canterlot now!"
Soon the Windows were shattered as a pack of Vamponies landed in the room.
"Hello...Princess." One of the Vamponies said.
Twilight breathed and stared in shock...panting as then she growled and her horn lighting up.
"And who are you?"
"Oh...call me Sinister, my real name is barely remembered to me...now, I'm gonna need you to come with me."
"And what makes you think I'll come with you?" Twilight growled.
"Well," Sinister then had Tempest by his side...with a dagger to her throat.
"We wouldn't want dear Fizzle here hurt now would we?"
"Twilight, forget about me! Get out of here now!" Tempest said.
Twilight sank, her friend being used...but she did not want to see Tempest's bloody corpse on the floor.
"No...I'll come...just please...don't hurt her."
"You have my word," Sinister says.
Twilight slowly trotted towards Sinister as then suddenly a spell beam blasted at his wrist...a threatening one.
"Gah!" He drops his dagger and looks at his wrist...but then Tempest kicks Sinister with her hind hooves, quickly running from him.
Twilight looked behind her to see her student, Starlight Glimmer, her horn glowing red instead of the usual mint color.
"Starlight?"
"You think I'd forget some dark spells in case of emergencies?" Starlight says.
"I told you to never use them!" Twilight shouted
"Leave first, lecture later!" Tempest says.
Twilight sighed and the three ran...but quickly Sinister attempted to tackle Twilight...unfortunately Starlight but up a barrier spell to block him, using his dagger to cut through the magical shield, Starlight was attempting to hold it, but his strength and his...blood glowing dagger was cutting through the magic.
"Get out of here! Now!" Starlight says.
"What? No! Let's go Starlight!" Tempest said.
"Go!"
Starlight focused back on the shield soon the dagger broke through and Sinister growled and tackled Starlight...and thrusted the dagger through her chest, she gasped and her eyes widened.
Twilight gasped as well, covering her muzzle...eyes already watering up.
Starlight, using the last of her strength uses her magic and pushes the two ponies out of the room, then closing and locking the door...the last thing they saw was Sinister digging his sharp teeth into Starlight then the door slams shut and locked.
"No...nononono...please no...no!" Twilight said, tears falling.
"Twilight...Twilight! We have to go now before he crumbles those doors down." Tempest said, holding her hoof, trying to quickly comfort her.
Twilight didn't say a word and did what Tempest said, she ran and didn't look back, escaping the castle.
Helsing had tears streaming as then she shouts and slams her fist against the mirror in front of her, still panting...her hands now bloody and cut...even the gloves a bit cut...she took off her hood, her hair a bit of a mess...staring down at the sink as water, tears, and blood flow down into the drain.
"S-Starlight...fuck."
Helsing cried...actually letting herself have tears fall...not holding back as more and more memories reform.
"Twilight?"
Helsing looked to her side to see Applejack there...her eyes in shock...and a bit watery...she wanted to say something...instead she didn't say anything, she just crouched down and gave Applejack a long and comforting hug as she continued to cry...the tears dropping onto Applejack's fur, and the blood dirtying up her fur even more.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...It's all my fault."
Applejack just hugged her long lost friend...speechless.
"I'm sorry..." Twilight said...her voice sounding like hers again for just a second.

Twilight "Helsing" Sparkle: Vampire Slayer
"Twilight? H-How did this happen?" Applejack asks, trying to hold back tears.
"I don't know! I don't remember much..."
"What do you mean?"
She breathed for a bit, her dark tone returning to her, "I woke up in a tomb with no memories...they've been returning...but they feel displaced...like some don't fit together at all, now I struggle between two names." Helsing says.
"Well your name is Twilight, always has been and always will be." Applejack says.
"But that's the problem...I can't believe that for some reason...it's screaming to me that my name is Helsing."
"Well, then it's lying! I've known you for years Twilight!"
"I...am not the same Mare you knew for all those years."
"Of course you are--"
"I almost killed one of my closest friends, I've spilled blood for hours on end to get here, I've even threatened others to get here, does that sound like your friend Applejack?!" She lashes out at Applejack, her hands that were clutching her head now slamming into the marble floor, blood still dripping from her cut hands and head.
"I-I..."
"I remember enough to know that you're the Element of Honestly, so tell me the truth and don't bullshit me." She says.
"N-No...it doesn't."
Helsing sighs, standing up.
"But that doesn't matter! So what if you're different Twilight?"
"Because I've changed enough to the point where my name should probably stay as Helsing, and you know this, and if the others saw me, then they'd know this too."
"But Twilight--"
"Stop calling me that!" Helsing yells.
Applejack stumbles back, the darkness in her voice almost frightened her, Helsing sees this and lowers her head a bit.
"This just proves my point...you mind grabbing a towel for someone my size? I need to clean myself..." Helsing says.
Applejack sighs, she wanted to help her friend still but at this point, she'd be throwing rocks at a brick wall, "Alright, gimme a sec," She grabs a large towel, seems good enough for her, placing it on the floor. She watches Helsing grab it then she turns around, beginning to close the door for her, "Helsing, you remembered Fluttershy, you remembered me, and I know you've remembered more, if you truly were different, you wouldn't have come here."
Helsing just had her back turned still as she undid her cloak, leather gauntlet, and fingerless gloves.
Applejack sighs and just closes the door.
Fluttershy groaned, her red eyes opening as she looked around, all comfortable in her bed, her wings spread out as she breathes calmly...her surroundings all being heard at once, hoofsteps, the sound of water running, her eyes focusing on the dirty window, the shut door, the three empty chairs on the left side of the bed, she could see the microscopic flakes that floated from the sunlight shining through the window, the dust sticking onto small surfaces. She then shook her head and sat up.
"What happened?"
Soon enough, Angel bounced on top of her, he was smiling like he never has before, so happy to see Fluttershy.
"A-Angel?! T-That was...r-real?"
He nods happily, nuzzling Fluttershy, he then looks concerned as the Pegasus' eyes water, she was about to cry, however, she nuzzles Angel back, "Oh Angel, I thought I lost you! I missed you so much."
Angel was happy to see Fluttershy, he always sometimes took her for granted or would be a complete jerk to her, but after his experiences...he never wants to take her for granted again, she's the one that brought her into her home and took care of her...he hugs her, smiling happily.
"Maybe I'll make you some food in a bit, how does that sound?"
Angel smiles and bounces at the question, he then finally nods.
"Oh, wonderful! Just let me get out of bed and see everyone and...T-Twilight." Fluttershy froze at the name...she's also alive like Angel...it's unbelievable, it's like her life was piecing together again finally when she was at her end.
"Let's get something to eat first." She tells Angel Bunny.
He hops onto her back as she stands up straight on all four of her hooves, she exits the room and suddenly sees Rainbow Dash, who immediately flies over to her and gives her the most loving hug ever, "Flutters! Sweet Celestia, I was so worried! I--Ummm I was just making sure you were alright and such." She chuckles nervously.
"Thank you Dashie." Fluttershy smiles back.
Rainbow then spots Angel, "Happy you found her?"
The Bunny nods.
"Well great, you can thank Capper and his hooded friend."
"Hooded Friend?" Fluttershy then remembered again, "O-Oh yes, his Hooded Friend!"
Rainbow then tilts her head slightly, "Do you know her?"
"U-Uhm, n-no," Fluttershy says.
Rainbow was about to say something else until Applejack entered the room, she looked slightly down but immediately chined up seeing Fluttershy awake, "Fluttershy! Thank goodness you're awake." She trots over giving her a hug.
"I'm fine Applejack, so where were you?"
"Oh I was helping T--err...Helsing to the bathroom, she needed a place to clean herself, she had fought Vamps on the way here, so she wants to clean the blood and dirt off."
"She fought Vampires?! Oh wow, she already sounds awesome!" Rainbow Dash says.
"Yeah...she does." Applejack says, smiling.
"Oh! Is Rarity awake yet?" Fluttershy asks.
"Not yet, Tempest is keeping an eye on her though, so she'll let us know." Rainbow says.
"Can I keep watch on her? I think it's only right since me and she knows what happened and I can...talk to her about it." Fluttershy says.
"Uh, sure Fluttershy, I can take you there if you want." Applejack offers.
"Oh um...alright."
"You're a Slayer, act like one you useless bitch!"
Blood dripped from the Grey Mare's cheek, the Slick Black Hair all messy and lightly tangled as she growled at her opponent who then throws her sword right in front of her. She grabs her sword, yelling as she charged at a middle-aged stallion, ready to chop his head off as then he dodges the slash. He grabs the Mare's wrist, squeezing it, making her loosen her grip on the sword, the Mare, however, kicks him in his shin, then gives him a left hook to the jaw, tightening her grip as she rests the blade an inch away from the Stallion's neck, she growled a bit but then breathed, releasing the sword away from his neck and getting up.
"You're getting better Helsing." He says, getting himself up as well.
"I guess." She replies, rubbing her cheek to feel the cut and blood, "You fucking nailed me that time you old stallion."
"At least you didn't fail, shows you're still determined."
"Of fucking course I am, why wouldn't I be?" She sighed.
"Fair enough, one thing's for sure...you need to control your anger."
She chuckles, "It keeps me focused."
"What keeps you focused Twilight?"
Twilight stood still, face deep in a book as always.
"Twilight!"
The Alicorn turned around, looking at Tempest, she sighed.
"Sorry, Tempest...I'm too distracted by these runes...and these legends."
"It's fine, the sudden appearance of those runes in the Forest are concerning...but what keeps you focused?" The Dark Violet Unicorn asks.
"I...I usually have an answer for that...but I guess it's my concern and interests in things I don't know about yet."
Tempest giggles, "You just want to be a true know-it-all hm?" The Unicorn giving her a light nuzzle on the neck.
"Y-Yeah." She began to smile at Tempest's affection.
"Well...this isn't our biggest worry...you think the books can wait?" She starts nuzzling her again.
"Uh...m...I...I...guess." She smiled even more...beginning to give Tempest some affection back.
"Well I'm hungry and I kinda want to see what kind of places Ponyville has." Tempest says.
"I can...make some arrangements." She laughs lightly, getting up from her chair.
Helsing sat in the tub, the warm water drenching her body, ah the extra dirt, dust, and blood slowly washing off as she had a bar of soap in her right hand...slowly rubbing it against her fur, her legs were tucked in, she was curled up, wings wiggling a bit as she let her hair pour with water.
"I...can see your memories..." She says.
She stayed silent for almost a minute.
"You're a brave mare, what you've done and endured."
"I could say the same to you. "
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Hello? I brought you a towel, can I come in?"
Helsing sighed, "Come in."
The sound of the door opening is heard.
"Like it steamy and hot in there hm?" The Mare asked.
"Yeah..."
"Sorry, just trying to make a small conversation."
"You're fine." Helsing replies.
"You're Helsing...right? I'm Tempest."
The Anthro Alicorn's eyes widened, her heart beating.
"Y-Yeah...H-Helsing..." She clutched the shower curtain...whether or not she should make sure she's covered still or...to reveal herself.
"Well, nice to meet you, and...thanks for saving Fluttershy and Rarity." Tempest says, putting the towel down and leaving.
Helsing wanted to say something but she didn't know what...until it was too late as she lies back, smacking her face with both of her hands, "Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" She bucked against the tub, causing a banging noise, thankfully she didn't damage the tub, but the door opened again.
"You alright?"
Helsing adjusted herself a bit...running her fingers through her wet hair, "Yeah...just stressed out, the journey here wasn't exactly a picnic."
Tempest closes the door and sits down, "I can understand that, did anything happen?"
"Just the things I saw and learned, some personal." Helsing answers.
"Then I won't push any further," Tempest says, standing back up, "Once you're done, we're making some lunch, if you wish to join us, I'm guessing you're starving after your journey."
Helsing sat up, "That does sound nice, I could use some food I guess," The Anthromorphic Mare then stood up, "I'll be out in a couple of minutes."
"Alright then, see you in a bit Helsing." She says, leaving.
For a bit, Helsing smiled and chuckled, sighing as she could remember just how Tempest and herself would conversate..it felt the same, with the exception of her not knowing it's her, she's definitely has gotten better being more social since she just talked to a complete stranger.
Helsing grabs the soap and scrubs a couple of spots she possibly missed earlier, rinsing herself off as she switches the shower off, grabbing the violet-colored towel and drying herself off.
"She doesn't believe she's Twilight anymore." Applejack whispers.
"Why?" Fluttershy asks.
"Her appearance among other things, she's killed and spilled blood...I'm not gonna lie and say she's not different but she's still Twi."
"I can understand that...I don't even truly feel like myself since I became a Vampony." Fluttershy replies, sighing.
"Now don't you start too!" Applejack says, "You're my friend and always will be, I don't care what you've done!"
"I..."
"Just because you're different from before doesn't mean you're someone else! It only depends on your actions and I know you had to do what you had to do so you can survive Fluttershy." She says, hugging the Pegasus.
"Thank you Applejack, but with Twilight, she's the one who's been gone for a year and went through a transformation of some kind, she seemed confused."
"Confused how?"
"Like when she attempted to kill me...it's like she was fighting with someone, one second she had the look with the intent to kill and the next she on her knees clutching her head." Fluttershy explains.
"You don't think she's under some spell or something do you?" Applejack asks
"No, I don't think that at all." Fluttershy replies.
"Well, either way, there is something going on and I'm gonna figure it out no matter what." The Orange Mare says as she begins to walk away.
"Applejack,"
The Earth Pony turns back around.
"I think we need to leave Twilight to herself right now, from what you said, she seems shaken up alone."
Applejack sighs, "I guess...you're right Fluttershy, I'll hold off for now."
"Thank you..let her show herself when she feels ready," Fluttershy says, smiling at the Orange Mare, "I'm just glad one of our closest friends isn't dead."
"Me too."
Soon enough, Helsing walked into the room, her getup back on and hood over part of her face, making sure her purple fur isn't showing at all, "So, what's for dinner? I haven't really eaten a thing in the last two days."
"Ah just some of my delicious homemade hayburgers with some hayfries, and my famous apple cider, I've been saving some supplies up to make a nice cooked meal for once," Applejack says.
"Huh, that sounds very delicious."
"Mhm, we need to tell the others but maybe when they're almost done." The Orange Mare says.
"I'll gather them, be right back," Fluttershy says.
Helsing nods and watches Fluttershy head off real quick, she then looks back at Applejack.
"Thanks, Applejack." Helsing says.
"For what?"
"I know it's hard to understand, but I just need to figure this out for myself that's all, but what you said I will remember...I guess some of old me still retains." Helsing finishes, lying back and using her hands as a headrest, placing her boots on the table.
"You're welcome Helsing," Applejack says with a smile, "Also mind not doing that?"
Helsing pulls her legs off and sighs, "So...what's happened since the Vampires took over?" She asks.
"They invaded town by town, starting with Ponyville, then Canterlot, and so on, they either ate some of the ponies or made them one of their's, they have a leader, do you remember him? He confronted you."
Helsing indeed remembered her along with what he did, her eyes opened as she looked at her Orange friend.
"Applejack was...Starlight ever found after the attack?"
"What do you mean?"
"Did you ever recover her body?" The Dark-clothed Mare asks.
Applejack shook her head and took her hat off, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright, I just wanted to know." She says, putting her head up to where Applejack could see her face, "Did the Princesses survive, and what happened to the Crystal Empire?"
"They're alive, Celestia, Luna, & Cadance are all alive including your Brother, however, he lost an eye and arm protecting your Sister-In-Law and Niece. The Crystal Empire held their own for awhile but were eventually overun,
Helsing doesn't answer as then her tone lightens again, "I see so all of Equestria has fallen...but hearing that the Princesses are alive. That's comforting to hear actually."
Applejack smiles a bit, going back to prepare the food.
"B-But she's alive!" Rarity says.
"Yes, for the fifth time Rarity she is and she didn't want us to know!"
"Well, why not? We all thought she was dead and now she doesn't want us to know?"
"It's not that, but remember what she looked like? She's Bipedal, an Anthro, she seemed confused about it herself." Fluttershy says.
Rarity just looks at her, "Is that why she doesn't want us to know?"
"Well no, Applejack found out and she told her...she doesn't remember a lot, she only remembered us from what I know, not only that how she acts and speak was different too if you remember," Fluttershy sighs, "My point is Twilight is confused and she wishes to figure out what truly happened to her because right now she's not convinced she's Twilight at the moment, so we need to give her space."
It took Rarity a good couple of minutes but she finally sighs and looks at her Pegasus friend, "Alright darling, I trust you, I won't say a word."
"Pinkie Promise." Fluttershy says.
Rarity nods and does the promise quickly, "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."
"Alright, well Applejack should be done making dinner so let's round everyone up." Fluttershy says.
The remaining Mane Six along with Spike, Tempest, and Capper arrive at the table, lighting up at the sight of the Hayburgers and Fries, everyone immediately sitting as Helsing sat next to Capper but at the same time, distanced her chair a bit away from the group and kept her hood up.
"By Celestia herself it feels great to have one of Applejack's Home Recipes again." Rarity says.
"Hear, Hear, I never actually got to try any of your delicious meals yet Applejack but this is very good." Capper says.
"Why thank ya, I think Granny Smith would be proud."
Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy all nodded in agreement.
"Besides that, we need to throw a celebration for our new friend that saved Rarity and Fluttershy!" Pinkie Pie says with a smile, "What was your name again?"
"Helsing." The Cloaked Unicorn answers.
"Ooh interesting name, it sounds dark almost, like Tempest!"
Tempest chuckles from that, "Can't argue with that I will admit."
"Why are you still covering your face by the way?" Pinkie asks.
Applejack looks at her, "She wishes to keep her identity hidden, and she won't have time for a party I'm afraid Pinkie."
"Awww, what a shame, I was hoping to finally throw one." She says.
Helsing then lightly looks at her, "What is your name? Pinkie?"
"Yep I'm Pinkie Pie and that's Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Tempest, & Spike!"
They all waved at her and Helsing waves back.
"So is there a reason you're hiding your face if you don't mind me asking?" Tempest asks.
"It's personal." Helsing simply answers.
"What are you hiding then missy?" Rainbow Dash then asks.
Fluttershy looks at Rainbow with a concerned look, seeing that Dashie was getting suspicious.
"I hide nothing but myself, I am allowed to keep it a secret." She says.
"You wouldn't have to hide anything unless you have a dark secret you don't want for us to know," Rainbow says.
"You're right I don't want you to know." Helsing says.
"Well, why is that?"
"Because I don't know you." She says.
Rainbow Dash then gets up and points at her, "I bet it's because you're a vampony!" She says.
Helsing does not move her head.
"Rainbow, what are you going on about?" Applejack asks.
"She's wearing dark clothing, a hooded one might I ask, and has a couple of bloodstains, how is it not obvious?"
"Now listen here Rainbow, if she was a Vampony why did she save Fluttershy and Rarity?"
"Because she knows what Fluttershy is and that is the only reason! All we need to know now is to see those fangs and eyes!" Rainbow stomps over and soon places her hoof on the hood and begins to pull.
That is until Helsing instantly grabs her hoof taking it off her hood, Her head slightly turning, "Touch me again and I'll break your wings Pegasus." Her tone was dark and intimidating as then the Pegasus immediately gulps from that.
Under the hood, Helsing's eyes were practically glowing blood red, her grip stayed tight onto the foreleg until her eyes calmed down...realizing what she was doing as she then releases Rainbow's foreleg and just stays silent...
"Thank you for the meal." She immediately gets up and walks away.
"Helsing wait!" Capper then says as she leaves.
The majority of the group stares at Rainbow, all with stern looks.
"Why'd you do that Dashie?!" Fluttershy asks.
"Because I thought she was a vampire--"
"Why? Because she saved me? Because she's different, covered in blood? Do you know how bad it is out there?! Of course, she'd look like that!"
"But wait I--"
"Now I know you're loyal and being protective of us Rainbow but you don't need to act all hostile! Especially after what she did!" Applejack says.
"But...I...I'm sorry..."
"Don't apologize to us, apologize to Helsing whenever she comes back." Rarity says.
"Why did you do that?! "
"Because I like my personal space thank you very much, and I don't need to be compared or be accused of being a fucking bloodsucker!" Helsing yells.
"She didn't mean it! She was just worried, she...can be like that sometimes. "
"Well, that's her goddamn fault." Helsing says.
"It doesn't give you an excuse to threaten her! "
"She threatened to remove my hood, you're the one who wished to not reveal yourself so don't fucking blame me."
"Well I didn't ask for you to take my body and change my appearance! "
"I didn't ask to be stuck to your body either! Do you think I wanted this?! I didn't even ask to be in that tomb either!"
"I didn't ask for any of this to happen. "
Helsing sighs as she leaned against a wall, slowly sitting down as her back drags against the wall.
"How the hell did it end up all the way here?"
"To be honest...I'm not sure anymore. "
"Twilight?"
Her eyes widen as she looks to her left to see Fluttershy.
"Err, I mean...Helsing." Flutters says as she slowly approaches her.
"If you're here to convince me to come back--"
"I'm not, I want to be out here too." She says.
"Why to see me?"
"No I'm also mad at Dash...I'm a bit mad she used me as an excuse to attempt to prove her point." Fluttershy answers.
"That you're a Vampony?"
She nods then looks at Helsing, "Why didn't you kill me?"
"Twilight stopped me and then I looked into your eyes to see your condition...I found out you were a victim."
"Victim?"
"Victims are a type of Vamponies that were bitten and changed, but didn't lose their mind in the process, but didn't become corrupted by the dark magic of it either. So they stayed normal but different, what have you been using to drink your blood?"
"I...I've been hunting wild animals..." Her eyes began to wallow up again.
That became familiar to her, remembering how she can talk to animals and treats them as her friends, almost her family.
Helsing suddenly had an instinct to hug her as her arms wrapped around Fluttershy's body.
"I know how badly it hurts you to do that. I remember you Fluttershy." She says.
"I-Its does." She lightly sniffles.
"But it is better them than ponies at least, as much as it hurts you."
"Yeah, I've kinda been better ever since I told everypony that I'm a vampony." She says.
"I'm glad you took that step, I remember someone like that..." Helsing lightly goes a bit off-topic...
"Wait you know another Victim?"
"I-It's a long story, I guess I'll need to tell my truth at some point possibly, but I guess I'm just not ready yet." She says.
"Well, why not?" She asks.
"I've lost my memories, but as I traveled I remembered them slowly, I found Angel Dust in the Everfree Forest, he told me about you. I went to the badlands and saw Capper again, we sailed here, and through my dreams, they've been slowly coming back. I'll give you the full story when I'm ready though, ok?"
"Alright...d-do you mind if I...?" Fluttershy gently raises for her hood.
Helsing slowly put her hand up, Fluttershy thought she was gonna slowly stop her but she only raised her hand up to, very slowly lowering the hood.
Fluttershy looks to see her longer but darkened purple and violet mane, her horn is a bit long but not enough to keep the hood raised up surprisingly.
Her eyes blood red currently, no scars on her face surprisingly but she could see some..scar on the side of her neck.
"Oh my, what is that Twi--Helsing?"
She looks, "That is something I have yet to figure out...sadly."
"Oh dear, well I apologize." Fluttersht says.
"That's alright, I will remember soon enough I hope...but I might need to see the Royal Sisters." She says.
"Princess Celestia and Luna?" She asks.
"Yeah...you think you and Applejack can take me to see them?" She asks.
"Umm...okay, oh and since you didn't get to finish, want me to grab it for you?" Fluttershy asks with a smile.
Helsing smiled back, "To be honest I'd like that very much if you don't mind." She says with a smile, putting her hood back up and standing up.
Author's Note
So let me explain myself.
The past year after my Grandma's death, I've kinda just been more focused on life and just getting back into things, but with that, I've also moved on to other things mostly and I've kinda disconnected with MLP...well more like burned out with My Little Pony in general, however, I never wanted to cancel my stories, so I guess I just took a break.
I am still not canceling my stories but I will just go at my own pace, what does this mean? Well, it means the next chapter for a story could be tomorrow, a week, a month, or maybe longer.
No matter how long it's been since I've updated, please know I'm still around, seeing you all favorite my stories, comment, etc.
Thank you all for sticking around and I'll see you next chapter
Twilight "Helsing" Sparkle: Vampire Slayer
6. The Casualty of Truth.
The sound of blood drops splashing against the floor was all she heard, her eye focused on the trail of blood that leaked down her messy black mane, her other eye slightly blocked by splattered blood, she then heard the sound of her breathing. Her left arm raising to wipe the blood off her face, her vision clearing as she looked to see her posture, she was on her knees.
Looking up and forward, in front and around here were bodies, slashed apart, stabbed, neck snapped, decapitated, and so on, she noticed all of them were with pale fur and such, wearing messy and ripped clothing with gear.
" Most impressive Helsing, well done my dear~ Your status as a Slayer was not to be underestimated."
The Vamppony was Anthro, wearing a long coat and bandage make-shift gloves and armored pants and boots, not knee-high like Helsing's.
Helsing was soon back to reality after hearing that voice, she immediately grabs the sword that was on the floor next to her, quickly standing up as she grips her sword, her leather boots stretching and adjusting with her movement, her black and ripped cloak by her side, it was removed leaving her in her sleeveless shirt, the adjusting her leather gauntlets and gloves, her snow-white fur shined in the blood-soaked room, she adjusted her stance and readied her sword.
"You have no idea." She simply says.
" Oh but I do and it is beautiful to watch."
"You speak like you won't suffer the same fate."
" Who knows if I do? I'm not a fortune teller after all."
Helsing charged and yelled as he finished that sentence.
The Coated Vampony immediately takes out his Dagger as he clangs it against Helsing's Blade, the two duels as the Vampony slashed at Helsing a few times, the Slayer moving back and dodging the slashes, using her sword on the last one to block the little blade, she kicks the Vampony in the shin, hitting him in the head with the hilt of her blade, knocking him onto his back, Helsing immediately swings her blade down towards his neck but is stopped last second by the Vampony, his dagger keeping the blade inches away from his neck, Helsing pulls the sword back instantly, smirking as she instead pierces her sword through his arm, making him drop the Dagger...then again he can't hold it anymore now.
The Vampony yelled in pain as his horn glows, shoving the Mare back...he lightly chuckled as he got up, blood dripping from his chopped off left arm.
" I've underestimated you now my dear." He laughs and grabs the dagger with his right arm.
"I'm gonna kill you, and then I will kill your master."
" Ha! Like I give a shit about him, you're all mine Helsing!" He says as he charges towards her.
Helsing shook her head as she then immediately adjusts her hood so her face wasn't visible to anyone. Fluttershy and Applejack in front of her, leading her.
"So how far are we?" She asks.
"Not far, about half a mile, we have access to their private home that the Saddle Royal Family was happy to give them." Applejack says.
"Guess this was your only hope, that your allies would aid you all." She says.
"We know they would, the Sisters are close friends with the Princess and Prince, they knew each other for years, I remember when they visited Ponyville." Fluttershy says.
"I see."
"So what are you gonna do? When you see them?" Applejack asks.
"I...I don't know, but please let me reveal myself when I would like to." She says to the two.
The two nod at her as they approached a large home, two stallions posted near the door as one of them spots the three.
"Ah, you two are apart of the Elements correct?" One Guard asks.
"Yes, are the Princesses available?" Applejack asks.
"They are, who's your friend?" He asks.
"This is Helsing, she wished to speak to them." She answers.
"What for though?"
"Let's just say it's been a while since they've seen me," Helsing says.
"Uh-huh, and what's the cloak for? Not only that, you don't seem like you're a pony."
"The cloak is to hide my identity and what does the second part have to do with why I wish to see the Princesses?" Helsing asked.
"Look, she's with us, we can vouch for her, she's not gonna do something." Fluttershy then says.
The Guards look at each other but then notice Helsing's weapon, "Fine, but you wouldn't mind leaving your weapon would you?"
"I do mind." Helsing says sternly.
"Why not?" The Guard asks with a skeptical look.
"It must stay with me, no one else may touch it." Helsing says.
"Why is that?" The Guard continues questioning.
"Look stallion, I'm not going to do anything if you listened to Flutters." Helsing says, getting pretty annoyed now...these Guards are starting to be a pain in the ass.
The left guard sighs, "Fine, but don't try anything." He says sternly.
"Thank you." Applejack says as the Guards open the door for them, holding it.
The door shuts behind them as they both hear the two Sisters conversating.
"What we should be trying to do is find a way to get our home back, any kind of way possible, we need to start looking at risky options Sister."
"What kind of risky options?"
The three stroll in seeing Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, with Luna sitting up straight with her hooves on the table with Celestia calmly sitting down on her side of the table, the two then notice the three.
"Oh! Applejack, Fluttershy, we didn't hear you come in." Luna says.
"It's alright your highness, we're kinda dropping in unannounced anyway."
"I see...who's our mysterious friend?" Luna asks.
Helsing stared at Celestia, her eyes a bit wide as she looked at her, her mind flashing more familiar memories.
You are still my student, and I am still your Mentor no matter what.
It's time to fulfill your destiny.
Helsing almost didn't notice or felt it as much, her eyes lightly watered as a tear slowly fell from her left eye.
"Oh dear, are you alright?" Celestia asks, her tone turning a bit Motherly. The two mares next to Helsing looking at her with concern as well.
Helsing soon snapped out of it and sniffed, wiping the tear, "Yeah, I'm fine...sorry about that, my name's Helsing, I traveled far to find you and the surviving population of Equestria."
"It must've been a dangerous trip then." Luna says.
"Indeed, but I see you carry a sword, it must've been hard to defend yourself still since most weapons don't kill or hurt them." Celestia says.
She shrugs, "It wasn't too bad."
"Helsing here brought Angel Bunny with her, he was alive this whole time still."
"Wow, I'm guessing you're very relieved Fluttershy." Celestia says with amusement.
"More than very." She says with a smile.
"May we ask why you hide yourself?" Luna asks.
"I don't wish for anyone to truly know my identity." Helsing answers.
"Is Helsing your real name then?" Luna raises a brow.
"No--I mean yes, it is." She says, almost slipping up from the question...the same question that she's still asking herself.
The Sisters lightly tilted their heads.
"It's...complicated." Fluttershy says.
"Would you mind removing it here? We can keep it a secret." Celestia says, standing up from her chair, her four hooves clopping against the floor as she approaches the three.
Helsing froze at the question...half of her wanted to reveal herself...more than that, she wanted to hug her mentor, her guardian...but the other half was afraid of what she would say, that and thinking that it isn't the right time.
"Uh...I," Helsing struggled, her hooves tapping the floor, "I...don't...I--"
"It's alright, you don't need to if you are not comfortable with it." Celestia says.
Helsing silently thanked her mentor, happy that she still can read a pony...well for her, it's somewhat.
"I want to help you with the Vamponies." She says.
"Oh, well this is unexpected, we've been looking at our options but none have worked but so far we didn't wish to take any options that would mean casualties." Luna says.
"I can understand that, but at the same time, any option you can think of might not work, I assume no books survived from the Canterlot Library?"
"I mean the Castle is still there and the books are still there but no, we never got any."
"I figured, to be honest, I'll need massive help anyway to figure the whole thing out." Helsing says.
"What do you mean?"
"Helsing lost her memories, but they've been returning throughout her journey but not all of them have returned yet." Fluttershy explains.
"Oh you poor dear, so did you come here so we could help you?" Celestia asks.
"Yes, but in doing so I need to be honest but I don't know if I am ready yet." Helsing says.
"Why not?"
"I...I don't have enough memories recovered that's why...I..."
Helsing sighs and looks at the Sisters, "I guess I really can't even go through with this unless I do show you."
The Sisters just looked confused about what she meant, however, that would be answered as the Anthro breathes and slowly but surely...removes her hood.
The Sisters gasp, Celestia's reaction was much more exaggerated than Luna's...her eyes slowly welling up as she sees the familiar purple fur and mane, her horn and face...
"T-Twilight?" Celestia asked through her breaking voice.
Helsing couldn't resist as she ran towards her teacher and immediately hugs her.
"Oh my faust...Twilight...I-I thought I lost you, I thought I lost my former student." Celestia says quickly, tears falling.
Helsing didn't say anything as she felt the White Alicorn's forelegs wrap around her gently like a mother holding her filly.
"H-How though?"
"That's why I need your help...I wanna tell you the whole story but I need to tell it to the others as well." Helsing says...her purple eyes lightly shining at Celestia.
"How many memories have come back so far?" Luna asks.
"Enough for me to remember my friends & you two, mostly after seeing someone or something again has it returned to me, some are random, I saw a couple of flashes of what I believe happened during the Vamponies Invasion." She says.
"And where did the name Helsing come from?" Celestia asks.
"It's...it's my name." She says.
"What do you mean?" Celestia asks.
Helsing sighs, "I'm not the same mare you know Princess, even my voice isn't my old one, nor is my body, what I did to get here is not the things I would do normally."
"What do you mean, and why would that matter? We've all done regrettable things--"
"I liked it, I loved it as if I've done it before for my entire life Princess, there was only one thing I regret doing and that's it, everything I did I treated it like it's the way I am, I'm not me Celestia, at least not fully," Helsing explains, "It's like I have someone else inside me like it's why I have this body, look, and tone."
Celestia's horn glows...gently tapping Twilight's...
Helsing could feel Celestia searching her mind...looking at what is wrong, she could see the purple lights as she looked but quickly she watches it redden as she searched for her soul and such. She slowly began to see a red orb and a purple one huddled together, amongst the fiery red and ancient runes flying everywhere. She saw Twilight in her normal Alicorn form as she looked right at Celestia...then behind her was a White-furred anthromorphic mare, she was covered in scars shaped in the same runes, her eyes blood red but no fangs showed, she had long black hair, she wore no clothing as she looked at Celestia. Soon her and Twilight both sat, backs against each other lightly due to how Twilight sat obviously, Celestia spotting a large circle with a crossing star, runes traced on the edges of the circle, almost looking like that was glowing itself.
Celestia's eyes open as she gasps slightly, stumbling back as she shakes her head, "You're not wrong on what you were thinking Twilight, there is another soul inside you, a dangerous one and it looks like her influence is much more power than yours."
"I know." She then says, looking at Celestia.
"How would you know," Celestia then notices her eyes were red now, "what are you doing in my student's body?"
"It's my body, what the hell are you talking about?" She looks at Celestia.
"Do you not know what is going on either?" She asks.
"I don't but I got most of my memories...I and your student have slowly been retaining our memories, we both have an idea of who we are, we're just missing the details it feels like now," Helsing says as she heads over to the chair Celestia was sitting in, taking the chair and sitting in it herself, "but we both saw you in our mind, and we both just recognized our old selves so there's that at least."
"Do you even know what all those runes are on your body?" Celestia asks.
Helsing looked at her calmly, closing her eyes as she removes her gloves and removes the cloak, her tank-top covered a majority of the runes but not all obviously as she looks at them...
Helsing breathed shakingly, panting almost, staring at her hands, looking at the bleeding cuts, seeing they were in the shape of runes, looking at the ones on her arms, watching the blood drop within the red circle that was drawn on the floor, candles lit as they lied right on the line of the circle, she grunted lightly...then she yelped slightly in pain, her groans and moans gaining a bit of volume as she clenched her body.
Behind her was the old stallion, a dagger cutting and carving into her back, blood slightly leaking from the cutting wounds, "Hold still, you will pull through this child...I promise," he then continues and Helsing could only hold her screams of pain as the blood continued to drip from her body, "the magic will work once I am finished."
The knife soon went to her neck, the first cut in Helsing lightly yelled in pain, feeling the marking be carved into the side of her neck, but the Stallion never pushed deep enough to cause problems, but Helsing still could only hold so much as light yells continued to escape from her lips.
"Yes, I do."
"I thought I did recognize them when seeing you, do you know how dangerous it is--"
"I do! Very very dangerous, I know what it is, what it can do, and the consequences of it when one isn't careful." Helsing says with slight annoyance.
"Can you two please stop playing the pronoun game and just tell us what you're talking about?" Luna says.
"Blood Magic." Helsing answers.
Luna's eyes widen, Helsing's stance never changed as the two Sister's stern looks met her gaze, Fluttershy and Applejack looking confused.
"What's Blood Magic?" Applejack asks.
"A form of magic that makes dark magic its bitch, while Dark has possibilities of corrupting the user or turning against them sometimes, Blood Magic uses rituals, chants, and someone who can take what it throws at you," Helsing stands and raises her tank top to show more runes, a deep scar embedded in her belly and it was only a simple stab would do, "The name isn't for show as the name itself drains your blood as you use it, rituals do not use much, all you need is a simple cut, but spells drain your blood and the more you do it, the more it begins to change you and your health, if you don't keep a lid on it, the magic can kill the user in both the long run or if you cast too many spells."
"Blood Magic also includes a large variety of killing spells, from a simple neck snap to deaths that no other could ever see, slow, fast, torturing, you name it. One of the many reasons it is forbidden." Celestia said, "I do wish to know Helsing, why are the runes scarred into you, last I checked the runes had to be drawn within a circle."
"They were...what I did was one of the ancient properties of Blood Magic, things that are not in any books at all, only a few would know the knowledge and with very good reason."
"Why?" Luna demands.
"Have you ever heard of Hell your majesty?" Helsing asks.
Luna shakes her head as well as everyone else.
"I don't expect you to, it's a land that has been ravaged by death, destruction, and many other things, the whole land fell thanks to Blood Magic." She says.
"What exactly happened?" Fluttershy asks.
Helsing looks at her and soon tilts her head down, closing her eyes as she tried to remember...
"What can you tell me, Master?" Helsing asks, looking at the old pony.
"It's not pretty, nothing about it was pretty..." The gruff stallion answers, he adjusts his seat and motions Helsing to sit.
"It was once called something nicer than Hell, the ponies there were like us too, standing on their two legs, they had evolved thanks to all the magic they have discovered and used. They had used this magic to prosper, soon becoming a nation on its own, it thrived...truly it did, but then, a Temple was discovered when looking at the further regions. It was covered in ancient runes and it held many mysteries, after a year, we cracked the codes and our discovery was an ancient spellbook. After reading the book and performing some of the spells it held in its pages, we determined that the Spells are too dangerous to be released to the rest of the nation, however, it seemed some of us thought it shouldn't be kept from everyone, someponies fascinations will sometimes be what brings everyone down. The book was stolen, we searched for it for a while, checking every inch of our land and when we found it...it was already too late.
The Ponies that had swiped it had already tried out some of its worst ones, we had discovered it had become a cult. They had already mastered the Blood Magic, soon beginning to attack our nation, sacrificing our citizens for their gains...this corruption finally lead to the birth of the many creatures that Hell is known to house, ones such as the Vamponies which were the worst as they could spread their ranks with the disease they carry, the more there are, the stronger they are, we had no choice and eventually, a mission to steal the book was put in motion, and it was a success, what we made using many different spells the book carried was a Slayer. We fought them, and fight we did, our chances started getting better, but our battle had already cost half of our population, even some of the Slayers had begun to be reckless in their mission to kill all the creatures to where casualties did not matter...our land wasn't recognizable anymore, everywhere there was death, blood, and destruction so a choice was made, we used the book one last time and it took every slayer and soldier we had to do it, using the Blood Magic we had basically created a new spell...I took part in it and not only that, I and your father were the ones who were chosen to live for this as this spell would drain our blood immensely, but combined and together, some may survive. We banished and buried the land deep within the layers of Equis, down to its realms where every creature would be trapped forever, Me and the select few others now name it Hell, named after the Temple that had started the whole war so long ago."
Helsing was struck a bit, learning the truth, listening to her Master of what she was involved in.
"Will the same happen to me?" Helsing asks, looking at her runes.
"Not if you keep your head straight, and you've been doing amazing with that, the Blood Magic never corrupted your judgment early on so that's a sign that you can do this." He says, his hands placed on Helsing's shoulders, speaking to her like a true mentor.
Everyone in the room looked at Helsing as she recited the memory...her red eyes opening as she sees all their expressions as if they were trying to process it.
"That's how far Blood Magic can reach, to where its influence will either kill or change you into a monster if you somehow figure out how to survive giving blood every time, like a sacrifice or something similar," Helsing says, "Master told me the story carefully and it always stuck to me, I use it to remind myself the Dangers of Blood Magic and to keep my head clear, not that I don't need it anymore."
"So...are you saying you are a Slayer?"
"The last one alive, and I want to help with your Vampony problem." She says.
"I see, but was it Blood Magic that merged you and Twilight together?" Celestia asks.
"Probably, I'm not sure but with how I am, it probably was." She answers, soon standing up.
"Is there a way to split you apart and be back to normal?"
"Not that I know of, the spellbook was buried somewhere not even I know of, and the info where it has probably died with my Master, assuming he's dead..." She says.
"What do you mean? Do you not know?" Applejack asks.
"I don't, I don't even remember how I ended up in that Tomb."
"Tomb?" Fluttershy asks.
"My whole journey started in an underground tomb in the midst of the everfree forest, I woke up without almost any of my memories." She says.
"Do you know how you woke up?" Celestia asked.
"A...a voice, but I'm not sure whose...but it almost sounded devious but not in a bad way." Helsing says.
"That's pretty cryptic." Applejack says.
"Yeah, I wish I could remember."
"Don't fret Helsing, your memories will fully come back soon enough." Fluttershy reassures.
"I hope so...Princess is there a memory spell that we could use?" Helsing asks.
"Not that I know of I'm afraid." Celestia says.
"Dammit!" Helsing says, standing up...she sighs and looks back at Celestia, "I was hoping for some way to speed up the process of how I am regaining my memories by coming to you and the others, either you have something we can use or the Elements...w-wait the Elements! The Elements of Harmony," Helsing then runs over to Applejack, putting her hands on her, "Applejack do we have the elements still?!"
"They're gone..." Luna then says somberly.
Helsing slowly looks back at Luna, "What? What do you mean they're gone?" She asks.
"We attempted to use them if you don't remember, before you, Tempest, & Spike left the castle, you grabbed the Elements and brought us together, then that Vampony who killed Starlight showed up." Fluttershy says.
The Six Mares had all gathered, Twilight immediately hugging them all, "Girls! Oh, thank Celestia you're alright!" Twilight says through her faint tears.
"Are you alright Twilight? What happened?" Rainbow Dash asks.
Twilight sniffed and wiped her watery eyes, trying to suck it up, "Starlight's dead...she gave herself to save me and Tempest."
The five look at Twilight in slight shock and sadness.
"I'm sorry Twilight." Rarity says.
"Aww, how touching..."
The Six, including Tempest and Spike all look back to see it was Starlight's Killer, Sinister.
"You! Y-You monster!" Twilight says.
"Oh why thank you...your highness, I try," Sinister says, holding onto the dagger he killed Starlight with...soon bringing it up to his face as his tongue slowly slides against the side of the blade, licking the blood that stained it, "her blood was very delicious I must say."
"G-Girls! Elements now!" Twilight yells, her tone a bit angry but her eyes slowly building up tears again.
"Oh? You have a trick up your sleeve?" He asks with a smirk.
"I will send you to the deepest pits of Tartarus!" Twilight yells, her crown beginning to glow.
The others didn't hesitate as they felt Twilight's pain, their faces all staring at Sinister as they equip the Elements.
"Ooh sounds exciting, come on, give me your best shot Princess, hopefully, you'll do better than your student."
"SHUT UP!" Twilight screamed as her eyes glowed white, the six shining along with their Elements as they huddle together, all shining together as a rainbow beam is shot upwards, going down towards the Vampony, soon it hit him.
A few seconds later they're eyes widen as the beam didn't envelop him...instead he was absorbing it! He breathes softly as then Twilight's eyes stop glowing and soon they notice the colors of the beam splitting as then the Six feel like they're being tugged on! All grunting as they notice the Element Jewels begin to crack...their color slowly turning grey...
They watch as then the Vampony laughs maniacally, "Ha! Your inferior magical weapon has nothing on mine and not only that...I think that was the boost I need to get my full strength and magic back," His body began to glow red along with his horn as his body groans and crack, he grunts and feels his bones shift, " Finally...I can have my real form back."
"Go! Girls, go now!" Twilight yells...their necklaces and crown soon falling from their bodies as they all turned and retreated immediately into the Everfree Forest while Sinister was now occupied.
"It's like he just drank all that magic down like a Milkshake!" Pinkie Pie says
"Tell me that didn't happen!" Spike then says.
"It did..." Twilight says somberly, looking back as she could faintly hear the yells of Ponyville's citizens...
Helsing sighs as she looks at Applejack, "So that's it then, I have no choice but to just let them come back on their own."
Helsing then stands up and begins to head for the door.
"Twilight? Where are you going?" Celestia asks.
"I don't know," She says looking back at everypony for a split second, "but I need to think." She simply answers, putting her hood back up.
Helsing soon opens the door, exiting and shutting it behind her.
"What did that magic do to her, Princess?" Applejack asks.
"It changed her...It changed Twilight." Celestia answers.
Author's Note
I know that this is an exposition chapter, but I really wanted to show off some of the ideas that popped into my head last night, so I wrote while it was still fresh and flowing through my head, I was loving what I was coming up with, the Story of Equestria's Hell can be described by this song:
I'm glad to be writing again, especially with thoughts in my head, and I think you all just deserve it, think of it as a Christmas present~
So while typing, I had my usual rock music playing until I heard one that I think might be a good theme for this story XD, well then again I already found "Don't Fear the Reaper." as a good theme for Helsing, but this one also is really good...soooo...I'll have you guys vote!
Choose which one sounds like a good theme for Helsing and the story itself:
OR
Anyway, Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
