Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)
Chapter 9: City of Vamps
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next afternoon, Blitz was standing in front of a house wearing his usual clothes and a pair of mirrored sunglasses. “Ok, this should be the place according to the address we were sent,” Blitz says before knocking on the door.
“Coming.” A voice said inside before the door opens. “Hello, can I help you?” A mare asks.
“Um…yes, are you Miss Octavia?” Blitz asks looking at the envelope.
Octavia nods. “Yes, what do you need?”
“Yes, unfortunately, your cousin Fiddly Faddle couldn’t make it for some reason so she asked her extended family on her mother’s side here in Ponyville to help you out,” Blitz says.
Octavia looks a bit surprised. “Fiddly, but…Vinyl, I’m heading out for a bit.” She calls back inside.
“Yeah, sorry about her not being able to make it,” Blitz says.
Octavia sighs as she closes the door. “It’s okay, her life has been hectic at times. Mostly trying to deal with that husband of hers.”
“Oh, she got married?” Blitz asks.
Octavia nods and they start to walk. “Most don’t know, but she married a pony from Manehatten, she’s the Apple of the family.”
“There is a joke in that statement somewhere. I just don’t know where.” Blitz says.
Octavia frowns. “The problem lies with that husband of hers. She has a foal now and she can barely leave the city. I and Vinyl tried for a long time to get her out, Vinyl using her underground connections when she does gigs there and me using my high society ones. We can’t get close though.”
“Ah so you don’t really need help, you just want her to get out of the house for a while?” Blitz asks.
Octavia shakes her head. “No, get her out and away from the bastard of a stallion. The reason we can’t touch him is that he’s a new politician in the city who is in with good graces of everypony.”
“So why is he a bastard?” Blitz asks.
Octavia snorts. “You’ve heard of how great stallions keep bringing their lovers flowers and everything, just to make up?”
“Not really,” Blitz says.
Octavia sighs. “This is why.” She said reaching into her collar and pulling out a folded piece of a photo. “She sent me these after she almost couldn’t make it last time.”
“Let’s see,” Blitz says taking the photo and looks it over. On it he can see a mare who looks badly hurt while in some kind of high-end bathroom and holding camera, presumably to take the picture herself.
“She took that when he was out for a bit and quickly made the neighbor mail it to me. If she sent it to her parents or the authorities it would have been worse since they wouldn’t believe her. Have a great stallion on the outside and he can be anything on the inside.” Octavia said.
“I see. Well, I think I’m going to be paying somepony a visit soon.” Blitz says.
Octavia glares at him. “You can’t harm him or leave any trace of her missing. If he finds out, he will blame you for kidnapping and it’s not going to matter how famous and good you are, heck your mares won’t be allowed to marry if it happens. He can make many things happened.”
“And I work in internal affairs and I’m friends with many high ranking ponies and many more owe me favors. I also can make him disappear easily.” Blitz says seriously.
Octavia sighs. “She has a foal to, get the little tyke out as well with her and bring them to us. We’ll be able to protect her once she’s here.”
“Gotcha. So Octavia what rank is he and his name?” Blitz asks.
Octavia looks to him. “He’s only second in line from the mayor and his name is Secure Star.”
“I see. I’ll see you in a few days so don’t worry your pretty head over this. Just prepare a room for her and the foal.” Blitz says.
Octavia nods. “Be careful, his reach may be far more than we know.”
“Trust me, it’s not as far as he thinks,” Blitz says walking away.
Octavia watches as he leaves. “Be careful.”
Blitz sighs. “Minerva, we’re going on a little road trip.”
“I heard, should I arrange a meeting with the princesses and the mob?” Minerva asks.
“Ask to see the Godfather specifically,” Blitz says.
Minerva smiles. “Sure thing, just don’t have us find a head in our bed.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Blitz says disappearing.
Celestia was signing papers in her office when the open balcony door suddenly closes. “Princess Celestia, a word,” Blitz says as he becomes visible in his blue aerial armor.
Celestia stops mid-writing. “Cross, to what do I owe this pleasure of a midnight meeting like a lover stallion?”
“I have come across a corrupt official in your court who I want to move against,” Blitz says very business-like.
Celestia raises an eyebrow. “Since when do you want to dabble in politics?”
“Since this is a personal request from Blitzkrieg whose distant relative is married to him,” Blitz says.
Celestia sighs. “Okay, what is it?”
“Secure Star. I believe you know his rap sheet as it involves being suspected of being linked to some of your royal guards’ deaths along with a few other officials, but nothing has ever been proven.” Blitz says.
Celestia huffs. “Money and power can make anything disappear.”
“So are you willing to aid me in cutting off this snake?” Blitz asks.
Celestia smiles a bit. “We just need a lot of dirt on him, something that we can never get.”
“I can provide this, but for my plan to start, you will have to make Blitzkrieg a part of your internal affairs,” Blitz says.
Celestia sighs. “Okay, just don’t make too much noise.”
“Oh don’t worry. I will be discreet, just be ready to counter any attempts he tries to blame Blitzkrieg and be ready to watch and see who his allies are once he is arrested and then move against them.” Blitz says.
Celestia nods. “Anything else you need?”
“Nothing else for now,” Blitz says walking towards the door but stops. “Actually, about your latest edict, were you drunk when you released it?” Blitz asks.
Celestia blushes a little. “The guards I needed weren’t here.”
“I see,” Blitz says disappearing on the balcony.
Celestia blushes a bit more before looking into her drawer and sees the bottle. “Guards, I need assistance.” She calls to the outside.
Blitz is waiting in a very nice lounge in a mansion waiting for the godfather to see him. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.”
“Heh, believe it, kid.” A stallion said walking up. “Come on, he’s ready for you.” He said as he walks away with Blitz in the big mansion.
After a while, he lets Blitz into an office where Blitz takes a seat and looks at the earth pony sitting it the desk. “Godfather.” Blitz politely greets.
The earth pony nods. “Nice to finally see in my office Cross, to what do I owe the pleasure?”
“I’m here to discuss a mutually beneficial endeavor. I have heard recently a useful pawn has turned his back on you and even threatened to have you eliminated if you dare cross him.” Blitz says.
The pony snorts. “Yeah, that’s right. What’s it to ya?”
“Let’s just say an associate doesn’t like how he is treating a member of his extended family,” Blitz says.
The pony narrows his eyes at him. “Exactly how?”
“His wife. Anyways, even Celestia is had enough of him and is about to move against him. With that, the time is now right to break him in his own game.” Blitz says.
The pony nods. “And how do you propose we do that?”
“We both know it is only through your protection he has remained untouchable. Being that way for so long has made him think can’t be touched. So I’m asking for you to help by starting to get at him with a sting.” Blitz says.
The pony leans forward. “And the sting you want?”
“Let’s go with do you think, black market associations or potential slave trader would be better?” Blitz asks.
The pony keeps staring at him until he gets up. “Let’s go for a ride.”
“As you wish,” Blitz says getting up.
The pony and a few others lead him out and surprisingly, Blitz sees a mare among the guards. “If you’re wondering, I wanted to make an equal opportunity. My daughters want to go into what was once called stallion work, but I allow them so I decided to allow some old bodyguards that are mares and once did guard work.” The pony said as they made it underground and found themselves in a garage where a large black covered carriage that looks armored in the metal areas.
“Then they might be some of the most dangerous,” Blitz says no hint of joking in his voice as they get in.
The pony chuckles. “Kia?” He said to the mare next to him. Kia nods and throws something into a corner of the garage and a cry rang out. “She’s the best at being the quickest in the family.”
“And also doesn’t look like she could hurt a fly, making others underestimate her,” Blitz says.
The pony laughs as the carriage pulls away and into the streets. “Yes, now onto real business. This politician has a wide range of power because of what we stopped for him. Businesses, homes, old rivals, he caught all their assets and pooled them together to fuel his own endeavor.”
“Yeah, but what are his greatest assets right now?” Blitz asks.
The pony narrows his eyes and looks out the window which Blitz follows to see a power plant. “This city runs on it, his old rivals, they use to run almost all the plants. Now he owns all of them except for one company. It’s the only thing keeping him from gaining complete control and a monopoly. I don’t even agree with that idea. It kinda makes things boring.”
“There it is, his weakness then. That is how to start bringing him down.” Blitz says.
The pony nods. “Yes, but you need to do it legally so the city doesn’t side with him.”
“That is why we create a false opening for him. Make him think he can get it through an illegal means, but our friend from internal affairs is there waiting and he busts him and being on the princess’ orders, he can’t weasel his way out of it so easily.” Blitz says.
The pony smirks. “Where were you when I took over the city?”
“Hunting and killing. But this isn’t enough, but it will give them a reason to reopen old cases and for somepony of your ability you would keep some evidence around just in case somepony forgets what they owe you. Then this evidence mysteriously reappears and witnesses who were either scared or bribed into silence start coming forward.” Blitz says.
The pony nods. “Yes, but the reason you came here your ultimate goal?”
“To break him and protect the family of one of my associates. Also to send a message through the underworld you mess with my friends or family I will break you beyond recognition.” Blitz says.
The pony chuckles. “Alright, let’s get you an idea of what you have to work with.” He said as they stop in front of a large building. “This is the capital building. I already scheduled a meeting with him, saying you have some proposition for him.”
“I see. So tell me, if I offer him my services in bounty hunting and he sics me on you, how can we best turn that against him?” Blitz asks.
The pony shrugs. “No idea. You have that expertise, but there is one thing he can’t resist. Getting a good business deal.” He said as a guard gives Blitz a briefcase. “Every single paper you need to make it look real is in there. You are now offering to give the last power plant.”
“Understood. Say, what important businesses does he have around here that aren’t truly legal? That we can stage a bombing on and give the internal affairs pony an excuse to search it and bust him on that as well?” Blitz asks.
The pony smiles as he turns to the stores across the street. “Over there.” He said as Blitz looks over and sees a large shopping section that has many shops and too many ponies. “He owns all the shops there and some of the shops expanding across the city is his as well. Now some of the stores are corrupt, especially with dodging taxes and that’s something you can’t ever do.”
“And any other front for other non-legal businesses?” Blitz asks.
The pony shrugs. “Simply, other things this city needs. Power, you already know, then there is some in water and has some the worst waterway past the filtration laws, gas is actually okay, then there are the governmental buildings. He somehow got his hooves on those. Now you see why a lot of ponies fear to go against him?”
“Well, if all else fails, Celestia has issued orders for him to disappear,” Blitz says.
The pony sighs. “You better go, the appointment time is getting close.” He said as one of the guards opens the door.
“Very well. Also, your boy named Silver Hoof.” Blitz says before pulling out a photo of the said pony getting a payoff from one of Secure Star’s men. “I thought you would want to deal with him personally for the betrayal,” Blitz says.
The pony frowns. “Out now.”
“Yes, sir,” Blitz says getting out and walks into the building.
Blitz sits in the office once again. “The deal is set and I also installed something in his office,” Blitz says to the Godfather.
The pony nods. “Good, now we just need him to take the fall, the problem is he’s heading out to a family reunion, from his wife’s side. I think everything should still fall for him though.”
“Well maybe we can learn something from what I planted in his office,” Blitz says putting a device on the desk and turning it on and then the Godfather and Blitz started to hear Secure Star speaking.
“That washed up has been of a Godfather is becoming an eyesore, can’t you just bomb his mansion?” Secure Star asks his men in his office.
“Are you kidding? They’ll have your ties to him will be found.” A pony said.
“Who would dare go against me now?” Secure Star yells.
“The investigators for the reports on how the fire started.” Another said.
“Ha, I could bury them.” Secure Star says.
“You know boss, I heard that an internal affairs officer is coming.” Another one says.
“Let them, he won’t find…what?!” Secure Star asks as they hear a door open.
“Boss, bad news, they found some files about your finances that don’t add up and are sending a pony to investigate on Celestia’s personal authority.” A new voice says.
Secure growls. “Dammit, okay find a way to make up the money in those areas and…Fiddle? What do you want?”
They hear Fiddle shuffle a bit. “Honey, we have to get going, the reunion is coming up and we might be late if we wait another day.”
SLAP
“Bitch! I know, now leave me to my work and I’ll get you to your precious reunion and shut that baby up.” Secure yells as they hear a foal crying.
“Boss, what can we do? We can’t just move against internal affairs so openly.” The stallion says.
Secure huffs. “We have to hide the missing money, raise the price and place some charges under misc. charges. That should cover the next bill for this month. Now then…” He said as he heard getting up before a shriek comes out. “Come on, we got some business of our own.” He said as some dragging is heard.
“You mean we are going to go after the plant now, boss?” The stallion asks.
“Buy it, we’re going to need it and do the same thing on those bills. Come on Fiddle, let’s have some fun.” He said before a door is heard slamming and then cries broke out, muffled.
“Looks like it’s time for our internal affairs friend to go there,” Blitz says getting up.
The pony nods. “Get it done, you don’t treat family like that.”
Blitz nods before disappearing.
Blitz, in his normal clothes and mirror sunglasses, waits in hiding with three squads of royal guards and Shining Armor waiting.
“Yes Shining Armor, I have a reliable tip they are coming and no, this isn’t a good time to talk about Princess Twilight.” Blitz whispers.
Shining glares at him. “Then how much longer?”
“Haven’t you ever heard of a stakeout, now be quiet, I hear something coming.” Blitz hissed.
They all watch as a large carriage pulls up and some ponies flew out. Then the ponies head to the plant and push some of the ponies of the plant away. “And here comes the deal,” Blitz said as a pony comes out that he recognizes as the Godfather’s henchpony. They talk for a bit as the ponies give the henchpony some papers and he nods before giving them some papers and some keys.
Blitz makes some signals as Secure walks to the door. The guards all head down as the plant ponies gives the guards some keys and cards as Secure stays by the carriage. “Welcome to your first sting,” Blitz said as he gets up and heads down as he sees the carriage and notices two ponies inside. He heads to the carriage and sees Fiddle smiling at her foal playing around. “Mr. Secure, right?” Blitz asks adjusting his hat.
Secure looks to him. “Who wants to know?”
“Internal Affairs,” Blitz says as all the guards spring into action crossbows trained on him and his henchponies. “We received an anonymous tip that somepony would be attempting to sabotage and destroy the plant and seeing how you showed up, we must assume it is you,” Blitz says.
Secure frowns. “This is just a business deal, nothing else. Why would I, a politician, destroy something this city needs?”
“I don’t know, but we will be finding out,” Blitz says as the guards start putting the ponies in chains, Secure first.
Secure huffs. “You will regret this, I’ll be cleared.” He said as a guard takes Fiddle’s foal in his hooves and Fiddle was chained up as well.
Blitz scoffs as they were taken away, except for Fiddle and her foal. “You okay?” Blitz asks as the guards released her and give the foal back to her.
“Yes officer, we are fine,” Fiddle says scared.
“Please come with me,” Blitz says escorting her to another carriage.
Fiddle shushes the foal in her hooves as she heads into another carriage and they were pulled away. “What’s going on?”
“It’s been a while. Nearly twenty years, cousin Fiddle.” Blitz says taking off his glasses.
Fiddle looks surprised. “Blitzkrieg?”
“I see you remember me,” Blitz says smiling.
Fiddle smiles. “How can I forget the colt who help me play the fiddle?”
“I did?” Blitz asks.
Fiddle giggles. “Well…more like brought the fiddle then rather teach me.”
Blitz smiles as the carriage heads down the street. “Yeah, that was my weeks’ worth of allowance. Goodbye, rare comic. Anyway, you hungry? Catch up on the old days and maybe see your family, your real family?”
“What are you doing here?” Fiddle asks.
“Truthfully, working in internal affairs right now and taking you to see your family. Already got a room set for you and this little guy in Ponyville.” Blitz says.
Fiddle holds up her little colt to him. “Liner, look, it’s your uncle Blitzkrieg.” She said as the colt laughs as he reaches for him.
Blitz smiles and grabs the foal. “Hey there,” Blitz says.
The foal laughs and hugs him as Fiddle sits by him. “Think you could get something to eat, Liner here is pretty hungry.” She said poking his stomach which he giggles at.
“Sure. After all, we are here.” Blitz says as the carriage stops and Blitz opens the door to show Ponyville.
Fiddle gaps as she steps out and sees Octavia and Applejack coming over. “Hey cousin.” Applejack said as Blitz plays with Liner.
“B…But how?” Fiddle asks.
“I have my ways and friends in the royal guard who constantly used a teleport spell on the carriage,” Blitz says poking Liner and playing with him.
Fiddle looks around and sees some of the Apple family of the reunion coming over. “I thought it was tomorrow?”
Applejack smiles. “I told them about what’s going on and had some come over early to help you.”
Octavia suddenly hugs her. “You don’t have to be afraid anymore, we’re here now.”
“And I, unfortunately, have to get back and continue my investigation,” Blitz says giving Liner back to her.
Fiddle looks to him. “Blitzkrieg, thank you for this.”
“What’s family for?” Blitz asks getting back into the carriage and it teleports away with the driver.
Fiddle smiles as she looks to her family. “So what now?”
“We celebrate.” Applejack says.
“Seems the sting went off without a hitch and the cases are being reopened,” Blitz says to the Godfather in his office.
The pony laughs. “Was there any doubt? Besides, we now have more control now that he’s gone and some of the citizens can finally get some fair prices.”
“Yeah, but this is only the opening move. We need to redouble our efforts now that we have an opening to exploit.” Blitz says.
The pony nods. “We’ll give whatever you need, but only you.”
“Understood. What about bombing an empty room in this shop that we know is doing illegal business they can’t cover quickly or easily.” Blitz says.
The pony smirks. “What store?” He asks before a muffled explosion sounded out and some screams came as well. “Oops, my hoof slipped.”
Blitz chuckled a bit. “I like you, Godfather, you work quickly and efficiently,” Blitz says.
The pony leans back and crosses both his legs and puts them on the desk. “As always.”
“Ok, I will slip these into a safe in the building before the investigation starts,” Blitz says.
The pony nods. “Get it done quickly, response time is kinda…” He looks to where Blitz was, but couldn’t see him and the guards only shrugs. “Wish I can have that.”
“So what are we looking at Armor?” Blitz asks walking in to the crime scene.
Shining throws some papers down. “Tax evasions mostly, but there are some deals not adding up. They either have the missing money or they don’t exist. And we have been tracking the money and it leads to shell or dummy corporations. This guy is really heavy on corruption.” Armor says as they walk.
“We searched everywhere so far?” Blitz asks.
Shining shakes his head. “There are still more coming in, this is just the fifth. Also, he placed hidden charges on the bill of the city services. Changing the city, my flank. There is one hidden charge here that reads ‘Leak protection’ on their pipes, not the citizens who are getting this. That is actually illegal. Services cannot charge their citizens insurance for their side. They get that from the city and the insurance they charge the citizens is for them.”
“What about that safe, we crack it opened?” Blitz asks.
Shining nods. “Yep and boy we struck gold. A lot of dirty dealings, especially with known black market executives. This guy is done.”
“We freeze his assets, yet?” Blitz asks.
Shining chuckles. “Freeze it? The city wants him gone so they cut it off completely and sent the information about all the dealings to us and anything they had under his name. If it’s so much as a receipt for groceries, they have it.”
“I’m concerned he will try and weasel out of it with his friends. We are watching anypony with influence moving to impede it or hiring lawyers for him?” Blitz asks.
Shining smiles. “We kinda made the mistake of already placing a lawyer from the city for him and all of his associates.”
“We have to do that by law. You did tell the lawyer he doesn’t have to try, right? That Celestia herself would secretly approve?” Blitz asks.
Shining nods. “Oh yeah, we already told everything to the lawyers.”
“Now we have to shut down the illegally acquired companies and businesses and put them on the market,” Blitz says.
Shining nods his head to another guard looking over paperwork. “He’s working on finding the legal and illegal ones. We should have them all done by tomorrow.”
“Also, I put the wife and foal under protection with her family, by the way,” Blitz says, handing him a restraining order for Fiddle and Liner on Secure. “I think this will help, don’t you?” Blitz asks.
Shining looks it over. “To stay away for…five miles. Wow. This will definitely do.”
“Only five, I thought it was filed for a continent away?” Blitz says.
Shining chuckles. “Judges for this are different, they need a reasonable distance, but I’m sure he can raise it a few more miles once we show him how much power this guy has.”
“Tell him a thousand bits in it for them if they multiply by a hundred,” Blitz says.
Shining nods. “I think we can manage that.”
“Good, now tell me he is in a cell right now awaiting his trial. The very short trial that will end with him being guilty.” Blitz says.
Shining sighs. “He’s out on bail. Made it quickly before we could stop the accounts.”
“I see, do we at least have his location?” Blitz asks.
Shining glares at some papers before throwing it to him. “Here, he’s heading out and guess where.”
“He is going where I think he is. Forget the trial, I will execute him myself ” Blitz says now getting angry.
Shining looks away as he grabs some papers. “Huh, that’s weird, he was found mutilated by Timberwolves. Tough life.”
“You don’t say. I guess my cousin is now a widow…who is entitled to whatever legitimate businesses and money he had.” Blitz says pausing in the middle.
Shining smirks a little. “Laws are so easy for accidental deaths.”
“Yeah. Well, our work here is done. All that is left is for them to sort out the rest.” Blitz says.
Shining smiles as he looks over to him with a knowing smile. “What are talking about, we’re done?”
“Yeah, now goodbye before you start on about Twilight again,” Blitz says teleporting away.
Shining chuckles as he looks to the other guards. “You got the death reports written up, yet?”
“Yes, got it all right here.” The guard says.
Fiddle sighs in relief as she feds Liner. “Here you go, eat up.” She said while holding some food on her hoof. Liner smiles and takes the food. “Good boy.” She said happily as she looks around. “We’re going to be fine now Liner. Mean old daddy is not going to hurt us.”
Blitz sighs as he walks into the Apple family house. “Hi Fiddle and hey little Liner.” Blitz greets.
Fiddle smiles as she turns to him. “Hey, what are you doing here?”
“I’m staying here mostly and Fiddle, I have news, not sure if it’s good or bad for you,” Blitz says.
Fiddle looks a bit confused. “What is it?”
“Your husband, after escaping jail, ran for it and was recently found torn apart by timber wolves,” Blitz says taking his mirror sunglasses off.
Fiddle nods. “I see, can I and Liner have a moment alone?”
“Ok. I will be outside if you need me.” Blitz says.
Fiddle sighs as he leaves and turns to Liner. “Looks like daddy is gone little Liner. Maybe we don’t have to…” She stops as she looks behind him and sees something. “I thought…”
Blitz sighs as he stands outside and waits for her. It wasn’t the door open did he notice something was wrong and hid. “Hang on Liner, we’re going for a long walk.” He heard. He looks up and sees Secure holding Liner, fussing a bit.
Soon the guards in the area surround him. Blitz walks up to him as he puts his glasses back on and points a blaster at his face as he turns. “Think real hard about your next move,” Blitz said.
Secure frowns before throwing Liner up as Liner yelled. Blitz immediately puts the blaster away and reaches for Liner as he fell and Secure ran into the forest. Blitz catches Liner as he turns to his communicator. “Flutter, get your friends in the forest to play with some meat. Minerva, tell Terran to go hunting.” He said.
He then turns to Liner. “Let’s get you back to mommy.” He said before walking back inside and finds Fiddle on the ground. “Are you okay?” He asks as he helped her up.
Fiddle nods as she tries to sit down and holds Liner as Blitz gives him to her. “Yes, where’s Secure?”
“Fled into the Everfree forest,” Blitz says. ‘And about to die.’ Blitz thinks.
Fiddle nods as she tries to relax. “Can you stay with us until he’s gone?”
“Sure. You are family.” Blitz says sitting next to her.
Fiddle sighs as she holds out Liner. “Want to hold him?”
“Sure,” Blitz says taking him and he grabs Blitz’s mirror sunglasses and puts it on him.
Fiddle giggles as she watches him try to act like him. “He really wants to be his uncle.”
“Oh, that’s adorable.” Applejack says walking in.
Blitz shows Applejack Liner. “What do you think? He could be me, right?”
“Give him a few years and he will.” Applejack says lying next to him and leans her head against her.
Liner giggles as he tries to make the same faces as Blitz. “Aww, look at him. He really does want to be you.” Fiddle said.
“I guess I could teach him what I know when he gets a little older,” Blitz says letting him climb on him and Applejack.
Applejack laughs as he grabs her ribbon. “He’s a bundle of energy, that one.”
“Yes, he is,” Blitz says before they heard a death scream.
Blitz smiles a bit as he communicator beeps. “Done, I’m sure the reports will match up,” Minerva said.
“I think that was your former husband,” Blitz says.
Fiddle keeps looking at him before sighing and leaning back in her seat. “So what now?”
“Legally, all his legal businesses and money goes to you,” Blitz says.
Fiddle looks surprised at him. “All mine?”
“Yes,” Blitz says.
Fiddle looks in front of her as she tries to think. “But…I’m not really in Manehatten that much, mostly in the farms.”
“Just hire somepony to run them. You just have to own them to get money to support Liner here.” Blitz says.
Fiddle keeps staring. “So…I can still work on the farm and play my shows?”
“Yes, you can,” Blitz says.
Fiddle looks to them. “So what now?”
“What do you want to do Fiddle?” Blitz asks.
Fiddle looks to Applejack. “Reunion?”
“Reunion starts officially tomorrow. After all, we have to welcome back our long-lost relative.” Applejack says a hoof snaking around Blitz bringing him closer.
Fiddle looks to Blitz. “Oh yeah, how long has it been?”
“Nearly twenty years,” Blitz says.
Fiddle nods. “Yeah, I guess it has been that long. Still, you really changed.”
“What, I’m too handsome to handle now?” Blitz jokes.
Fiddle giggles. “Maybe I should consider you for a husband.”
“Sorry cuz, I already laid claim.” Applejack says smiling as they joke.
Fiddle looks to her. “Really, but isn’t he family?”
“Very distant family and he is adopted, so no problems.” Applejack says.
“Tell me you saw this coming when we were foals,” Blitz says.
Fiddle shakes her head. “Not really, I thought you would go for that electric blue-maned unicorn.”
“What electric blue-maned unicorn?” Blitz asks.
Fiddle thinks for a few. “The one that’s a DJ now.”
“I’m not sure I know who you are talking about, but I have seen a mare like that in the club through every pony assumed she was a stallion,” Blitz says.
Fiddle nods. “Yeah, she kinda is like a stallion.”
“I think she has her own style of beauty,” Blitz says.
Fiddle nods. “Yeah, though now I have to deal with a lot of paperwork and then there’s this little guy.” She said poking Liner who laughs.
“Ok Fiddle, I’ll see you later,” Blitz says putting back on his sunglasses.
Liner whines a bit as he reaches for him.
“Don’t worry my nephew, I will be back soon,” Blitz says moving in close enough so Liner could touch his nose.
Liner giggles. “Bye, bye.”
Blitz smiles. “Bye for now,” Blitz says.
Applejack hugs Fiddle as well as Liner. “Bye you two, see you at the reunion.”
Blitz gets up and leaves as Applejack let’s go and follows him. “So what now?” She asks after a while.
“Still have to help Octavia, remember?” Blitz asks.
Applejack sighs. “Let’s go.”
“You have to stay and work on the farm, remember?” Blitz asks.
Applejack frowns. “Oh…yeah. Can you help a bit? As a future mate, you need to help.”
“Ok.” Blitz looks out to several trees full of apples and uses his magic to levitate all of the apples into empty brackets nearby. “Twi has taught me well, huh?” He jokes.
Applejack slaps his flank. “You need to also do it the earth pony way.”
“I don’t have the time. Besides, I just decreased the workload by seven percent.” Blitz says smirking.
Applejack just raises an eyebrow. “Are those glasses of yours helping?”
“Nope, these are just mirror sunglasses. What, think they make me look sexy?” Blitz jokes.
Applejack sighs before grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and brings him in for a quick kiss which she quickly let’s go as she blushed heavily. “Good enough answer?”
“Not really, is this?” Blitz asks grabbing her and leaning her backward before kissing here.
Applejack yelps in surprise before feeling the kiss for a while before he lets go and brings her up again. “Um…yeah.”
Blitz pulls her forward and back onto her hooves. “I have defiantly improved, right?” Blitz asks walking away, not waiting for an answer.
It wasn’t until he feels a rope around him did he stop. “Whoa, there lover boy. You ain’t done.” She said bringing him back.
“We can continue later Jackie. After all, you did ask me to help Octavia for you because you couldn’t with the harvest.” Blitz reminds.
Applejack pulls him back and holds him from behind. “Do you at least remember when I said I loved you more than you excepted?”
“Yeah, I do,” Blitz says reaching around and pats her on the hat.
Applejack smiles. “I can have you remember that night during reunion week. I just need you in your room at the Darkstar.”
“You mean tied up and you sleeping with me in my bed?” Blitz asks.
Applejack shakes her head. “No, just holding each other.”
“Alright Jackie, but we don’t need my bed. We got yours.” Blitz says.
Applejack smiles. “Bring an old picture of yourself if you want that. We need something for the album and then we can have a whole family reunion picture after that.”
“Alright Jackie, I will,” Blitz says before teleporting out of her hooves and reappearing behind her and hugging her from behind.
Applejack sighs as she leans back. “You can have the others come over if you want, all I need is you.”
“We shall see about that. Now we best get going and get our jobs done.” Blitz says.
Applejack nods and turns her head to him. “Just remember, a young picture of yourself.” She said before kissing his cheek.
“Alright, I will see if Minerva has one on record,” Blitz says starting to walk towards the town.
Applejack smiles as she watches him, especially his flank. She just licks her lips as she watches the muscles moves. “That’s going to be yummy soon.” She said before heading to the farm.
Blitz knocks on Octavia’s door. “Coming.” A mare calls that Blitz knew wasn’t Octavia.
The door soon opened to show an electric blue-maned unicorn. “Hey bud, whatcha need?”
“I’m here to speak to Miss. Octavia.” Blitz says as both their glasses reflect each other’s image.
Vinyl smiles. “Sure bud, one sec.” She said before closing the door before opening it again. “Say, after this, you want to listen to some of my music?”
“Sure,” Blitz says.
Vinyl grins before shutting the door again and then Blitz hears some electric feedback. “Octy you are needed at the door, Octy you are needed at the door. There’s a hot piece of meat waiting for you.” He heard.
“What are you going on about Vinyl?” Octavia’s voice was heard coming downstairs.
Blitz smiles as the door opens again and Octavia stands there. “Oh, hey Mr. Blitzkrieg. What do you need?”
“Just wanted to inform you everything has been settled and please, just Blitz,” Blitz says.
Octavia nods. “Thanks for everything, can you tell her that hers and the foal’s room is ready?”
“Yeah, she is currently staying at the Apple’s farm,” Blitz says.
Octavia smiles. “Thanks for saving our family.”
“No need for thanks. I always help the family.” Blitz says.
Octavia sighs. “Well, thanks again. You need anything from us?”
“No, but your roommate invited me in. I don’t think she would like if I left so soon, but is there anything I can help you with?” Blitz asks.
Octavia smirks. “Yeah, can you hold yourself up against a horny mare?”
“I know a barrier spell.” Blitz jokes.
Octavia sighs and steps inside. “Just be careful around her. She likes to really have fun with the one who could fill her in any way.”
“Don’t worry I have experience warding off such ponies,” Blitz says following her inside.
Octavia nods and opens a door that leads to a staircase leading down. “It might get loud, so get used to it.” She said before going upstairs.
“Oh don’t worry about me. Though it is cute you worry about me. ” Blitz says.
Octavia tried to hold her blush. “Shut up and get down there.”
“As you command,” Blitz says using his magic to shut the door for her.
Blitz chuckles as he heads down and hears heavy thumping. He soon comes to a door where it was actually bulging out with every beat until he opens it and was actually blown back by the force. “Wow!” Blitz exclaimed as he forced his way through the wind of music.
“You see what I meant?!” Octavia asks.
Blitz was still trying to fight the wind and was suddenly blown back into another mare who catches him. “Hey, dude!”
“You are Vinyl Scratch?” Blitz asks adjusting his glasses.
Vinyl nods. “Yeah, dude, like the beats?!”
“It’s got a nice beat, just takes some getting used to the force behind the sound waves,” Blitz says.
Vinyl hugs him tight and cheers out. “Heck yeah! Want to really enjoy the beat?!”
“Let me guess, you can crank it up more so?” Blitz asks.
Vinyl somehow throws him onto the top of one of the large speakers before turning the dial-up and then jumping from her seat and jumping on top of him and straddling him. “And this!”
“A little forward aren’t you?” Blitz asks.
Vinyl starts to grind against him. “Heck yeah.”
“Sorry, but you gotta marry to get that,” Blitz says teleporting to beside Octavia.
Vinyl jumps off the speaker and lands in front of him. “So can I?”
“I believe there is an edict from the princess on that,” Octavia says.
“Yeah, there is,” Blitz says slightly annoyed at Octavia before disappearing before their eyes. “But you gotta catch me first,” Blitz says, reappearing leaning on Vinyl’s back.
Vinyl bucks her back up and send him flying to which she jumps up on her own and grabs him. “Gotcha.”
Blitz smirks before disappearing before reappearing in front of the path of his sunglasses that flew off him. “Not that easy,” Blitz says as he picks them up, giving both a perfect view of his golden-yellow eyes.
Both mares stare at his eyes before throwing themselves at him.
“And this is why I now wear these glasses,” Blitz says before dodging in between them.
Both mares then grab his back legs and pull him to the ground.
“Man, you two are persistent. Vinyl you warned me about, but Octavia I’m surprised you have the reputation of being such a classy mare.” Blitz says teleporting a few feet away and starting to feel a strain on his magic.
The mares then throw themselves again at him and latch onto his neck and bites at it before nibbling on it.
“Girls!” Blitz yells getting their attention.
Octavia snaps out of it, but Vinyl kept going. “Blitz, what…?”
“You two are in heat, aren’t you?” Blitz asks.
Octavia looks away as Vinyl still went on.
“Could you please bring me a bucket of ice-cold water?” Blitz asks. Octavia sighs as she uses her magic and brings a bucket in front of him. Blitz used his magic to levitate it over himself and Vinyl before pouring it onto both of them.
Vinyl shakes the water off of her as she looks to him. “What happened?”
“You went a little crazy with heat,” Blitz says.
Vinyl looks at him before looking at his neck and lets’ go. “Sorry about that.”
“It’s fine. You’re not the first mares to throw themselves at me.” Blitz says thinking over whether or not to put back on his sunglasses before noticing Vinyl lost here’s in the whole thing. “By the way your red eyes are cute,” Blitz says.
Vinyl blushes as she looks away. “They’re not that cute.”
“You’re right, they are beautiful to me,” Blitz says.
Vinyl blushes some more. “Shut up, they’re ugly okay?! They’re ugly!” She yelled as she turned red.
“I didn’t know it was opposite day. Did you Octavia?” Blitz asks as Octavia found it amusing as somepony was actually embarrassing Vinyl with compliments.
Octavia sighs. “Tell him Vinyl, you can trust him.” She said as she looks concerned at her.
“I’m half vamp…” Vinyl starts but is cut off by Blitz. “Vampire.”
Vinyl looks to him. “How did you…?”
“I know almost everything on vampires, after all, I carry scars from Bloody Mary and the correct term for you is Dhampiresa,” Blitz says offhoofly.
Vinyl rubs her leg with her hoof as she still looks away. “So you don’t hate me?”
“No, a few months ago I would be probably up there terrified, but who wouldn’t have a phobia against all vampires after Bloody Mary,” Blitz says pointing to the beam before hooking a leg around Vinyl.
Vinyl blushes a bit as he holds her close. “Um…are you okay with this?”
“Yeah, I’m fine with it. After all, you can’t spread the vampirism through bites. So I don’t have to worry about this.” Blitz said, touching his neck.
Vinyl looks to him before getting close to his neck again. “Ca…can I?”
“Fine, just don’t take much blood,” Blitz says.
Vinyl gets her muzzle close to his neck before licking it a little and then biting it and holds herself there as she starts to drink and wraps her hooves around him. Blitz just sits there and waits, going so far to get a book out to start reading as Octavia just watches stunned. Vinyl soon let’s go slowly and licks it a few times before looking away. “Thanks.”
“So you hadn’t had blood in what, three months?” Blitz guesses.
Vinyl blushes heavily. “Try years.”
“I see. So why don’t you two tell me about yourselves.” Blitz says.
Vinyl leans her head against him. “Can you carry me?”
“Very well,” Blitz says letting her lay on his back.
“Reminds me of when I have to drag you back home drunk,” Octavia says leading him upstairs.
Vinyl buries her face into his coat. “Shut up.” She said, muffled by him.
“She like this while fried?” Blitz asks.
Octavia shakes her head. “No, she would usually suggest things to do to me as I carry her. This is different.”
“Ah, so she is not usually this content,” Blitz says reaching the upstairs.
Octavia nods. “Yeah, she told me, but I wouldn’t allow her. I didn’t realize that her life was going to calm down once she drank.”
“Yeah, don’t expect it to last,” Blitz says.
“Blitz, can I drink again?” Vinyl asks from his back.
“You already drank more than a pint of my blood. You drink anymore and I will start getting light-headed.” Blitz says as Octavia walked back in with a medical kit.
Vinyl keeps looking into his coat. “Please.”
“Fine.” Blitz relents.
Vinyl clamps down onto the old bite and starts to drink again as Blitz lays down to prevent her from falling off if he fell. Then he noticed he was getting light-headed and gaining some sweat. ‘Wait, that isn’t sweating.’ He thought as he felt a wetness on a specific spot on his back. “Great, now I’m going to have to have this washed,” Blitz says as Vinyl finally let’s go.
Vinyl tries to breathe as she catches her breath. “Blitz, can I stay with you?”
“Huh?” Blitz and Octavia ask as Vinyl sounds more and drunker.
Vinyl still was breathing. “I want to stay with you.”
“Vinyl, you sound drunk,” Blitz says as he feels her start to sway.
Vinyl frowns a little. “I don’t…” She couldn’t say anymore as she fell over and just stares at him. “Don’t leave me.”
“Oh great, you haven’t drunk blood since you hit puberty haven’t you?” Blitz asks.
Vinyl blushes beet red. “Yeah, I never had anypony and Octy wouldn’t give me one.”
“I see,” Blitz says noticing Vinyl started snoring.
Octavia groans. “This is all my fault. I should have let her drink at least.”
“Then she would have imprinted on you and you would most likely be in a lesbian relationship,” Blitz says.
Octavia looks to him. “So you…?”
“She will feel attracted to me from now on, but won’t be able to remember this,” Blitz says as Octavia bandaged his neck.
Octavia looks worried at her. “So you’re going to leave her?”
“I live in town,” Blitz says.
Octavia hits him. “You know that’s not what I meant.”
“Ok, it isn’t exactly healthy for a Dhampiresa to be close to the one she has imprinted on for a while after they imprint or could well get blood-crazed for the flavor of the blood of the imprinted on,” Blitz says.
Octavia sighs as she wraps the bandages around him. “So what are you going to do now?”
“Steer clear for two days before coming back. She should be passed the phase by then. Though I only have second hoof experience to base this on. There hasn’t been a known Dhampiresa in centuries.” Blitz says.
Octavia looks to him. “Because there wasn’t.”
“No, because most are either like Bloody Mary or well blood-crazed and lost all sense of self and are just wild animals seeking to state their thirst,” Blitz says putting back on his glasses.
Octavia presses her lips together. “Blitz, is Vinyl actually that old?”
“She is probably your age range, seventeen, and eighteen?” Blitz asks.
Octavia didn’t know how to respond to that at first.
“Don’t tell me you are sixteen ” Blitz says causing Octavia to start to giggle.
“No silly, I’m twenty. Vinyl’s twenty-one.” She said.
“Oh, I apologize if I insulted you,” Blitz says.
Octavia waves him off. “It’s fine. Through, I wonder what happened to her in the old century. She just told me when and not how.”
“Wait, you said she was twenty-one,” Blitz says confused.
Octavia nods. “Yes, as a cover because of her body. She’s actually at least two millenniums old. Heck, she saw Luna’s banishment.”
“I see, so the legendary last Dhampiresa. Vinyl, a vampire stallion claiming to be your father is here to see you.” Blitz says causing Vinyl to wake up immediately.
“Huh, what?! What about my father?!” Vinyl asks as she got up.
“Yeah, Dracula himself is here,” Blitz says.
Vinyl groans. “Very funny…how did you know who my dad is?”
“The last ever born millenniums ago was the child of Dracula, but it never said whether it was a stallion or a mare. Man, I wonder how Bloody Mary would have reacted to you.” Blitz says.
Vinyl sighs. “Come at me and hope to have me.”
“More like trying to destroy you. After all, your father was the first to kill her. I just finished the job.” Blitz says getting Vinyl’s attention.
Vinyl looks to him. “You killed her?”
“Three times, to be precise and the last time I smashed the thing that the devil gave her as a sign of their contract. With that shattered, she was just another vampire and can’t come back.” Blitz says.
“Wait, that means your Southern Cross?” Octavia asks.
Blitz nods. “Yep, the one and only.”
Vinyl looked at him before tackling him.
Blitz looks up as Vinyl laid her head on his chest. “Um…?”
Vinyl now had a smirk with her fangs out as she looked like hungry. “Um…Octavia, a hoof please.” Blitz requests.
Octavia sighs and pulls Vinyl off of him. “Easy girl, leave him wet and ready to go with a full load if you want him.”
“She is slipping into blood craze. I will catch you later.” Blitz says disappearing.
Octavia smiles as she held Vinyl sniffing around. “He’ll be back. Don’t you worry girl.”
“We must have him my thrall,” Vinyl says.
Octavia giggles. “Oh boy.” She said to herself as she petted Vinyl’s mane.
“He is the best specimen I have ever come across and he also let me drink his blood,” Vinyl says showing she was faking her blood craze.
Octavia watches in amusement. “Do you love him?”
Vinyl smiles and licks her lips. “Hmmm.” She says fantasizing.
Octavia leans close to her ear. “And what are you thinking of doing to him?”
“The better question is what we will do with him,” Vinyl says.
Octavia nuzzles her. “And the things we can do, maybe you can go first and he’ll just empty everything he has in you?”
“Oh no, I don’t want to kill him, besides he is right. I can’t turn him into a vampire or a Dhampir like myself.” Vinyl says.
Octavia smiles. “Then what are you going to do, ride him until you pass out?”
“Oh yeah,” Vinyl says.
Octavia smiles as she keeps nuzzling her. “How about me? What do I get?”
“You get the pleasure and later you will bear foals,” Vinyl says.
Octavia nods. “Yes, I’m just a foal bearer, aren’t I?”
“Better than before, after all, I made you fertile when you were barren,” Vinyl says.
Octavia moans. “Yes master, can I have a sample of what he might give from you?”
“Yes, you may,” Vinyl says.
Octavia moans as she keeps nuzzling her. “Master, I need something now.”
“Let’s go and…I didn’t notice before, but there was an artificial vampire mark on him.” Vinyl says.
Octavia hisses. “Who dares do that?”
“Fluttershy. She turned into an artificial vampire.”
Octavia hisses. “Shall I take her out?”
“No, no, I will handle it later,” Vinyl says.
Octavia hisses before using her own fangs and scratches her neck. “Can I help with anything else master?”
“No need, after all, I’m going to give you an example. Just don’t turn him into a vampire-like yourself.” Vinyl says.
Octavia nods. “Yes, master. Can this bitch do anything for you now?”
Vinyl grabs her tail and yanks it lightly. “No, but I will for you,” Vinyl says.
