Applejack and the Vampony Hunters
Chapter 2: The Hunt for the Lair Part 3: Secrets and Tragedies
Previous ChapterIt was early morning when everypony woke up and ate breakfast, Vinyl Scratch simply drank a blood pack that Octavia was carrying. It was when everypony was ready to move out that there was a knock at the door and Vinyl started to worry.
"They're not supposed to be here until next week!" Vinyl said worriedly.
"All of you need to hide in the cellar so that they don't find you." Vinyl said while rushing them into the cellar.
Vinyl rushed to the door and opened it, revealing two unicorns that Vinyl recognized as messengers from the hunters headquarters, once they verified their identities Vinyl called the others out of the cellar while looking a bit embarrassed after panicking the way she did.
"Lieutenant Lyra Heartstrings and Colonel Sweetie Drops what are you doing here in those uniforms, especially since their are day walkers around the market that could have seen you?"
"Commander Melody, we took every precaution including using our SST network to make sure that we weren't seen, and our reason for finding you is because Princess Luna sent us to inform you that the castle was attacked last night, and Princess Celestia was captured." Lyra said solemnly, not blinking nor looking away from her superior officer.
"This is not good, I assume Luna and her night guards managed to escape and take the day guards with them." Burnt Oak said with a well hidden hint of worry in his voice.
"Yes but if the castle is taken then it won't be long before HQ falls and our organisation falls, along with the rest of Equestria." Bon Bon said with a stomp on the ground.
Suddenly it went dark outside and there was screaming all throughout Ponyville, as everypony went outside the entire group just stood there horrified. All that could be seen was the forces of the supernatural world descend on Ponyville, it was that moment that more hunters appeared out of nowhere, along with several informants from each species.
"This is not good, with this never ending eclipse I will be unable to do anything without risk of turning on all of you. Commander Hothoof, I am placing you in charge while those who are now a possible threat will join me in the cellar." Octavia ordered.
All those who were likely to be taken over thanks to the eclipse followed Octavia. Those who remained stayed inside, it was up to Bow Hothoof to figure things out. There was a knock at the door, Vinyl went over cautiously and opened it revealing a changeling who asked to see Burnt Oak.
"What do ya want me for?" Burnt Oak asked with caution.
"I was sent by hive leader Thorax to give you the location of a coven that you have been searching for, I also bring news that Chrysalis is planning to seize the throne again so we can be of no further assistance to you." The informant said before leaving the house.
This changed everything, the original group gathered with Vinyl Scratch and agreed that the coven master would pay for this no matter the cost.
