The trip to the Crystal Empire proceeded; accordingly, the intruders had done nothing but talk about how they would make their Queen proud, but regardless of how utterly useless they were, Alucard kept an eye on them, making sure everything was alright, ready to attack if needed, the train quarters divided our beloved characters, Luna and Alucard were in one room together, Twilight and the girls were in another room, Cadence and Shining Armor were in a private room panicking, Alucard’s ‘friends’ were in another room eating and partying like crazy and last but not least Celestia, who was alone in a room with a headache that had been bothering her for over a month, she didn’t know why but every day the headache would grow stronger and more resilient to the medicine she was taking.

Alucard was drinking wine as usual, while Luna was eating surprisingly big amounts of food, everything was going well so far.

“We’re almost there,” Alucard said, levitating a wine bottle to fill his empty cup.

“Yes, about fifteen minutes, or so,” Luna was eating or at this point, ransacking the train food storage.

“After the coronation, would you like to go out with me?” Alucard was not entirely as to why he wanted to ask her out, but he wanted to do so, “We could go for a walk, or eat in a restaurant, or eat in a restaurant while we walk.”

“Are you inviting the mistress of the night, the princess of the moon, and the protector of the dream realm, to a date, Alucard?” Luna was smiling mischievously, so much that it showed that she was doing it just to tease Alucard, “I thought you only wanted to fool around, with thy poor, poor Princess.”

“Don’t question the insane pony, princess, plus last time you asked me out,” Alucard replied with a smile approaching Luna so close that they almost kissed, if she wanted to tease him, two could play that game, and Alucard was not one to let other wins, “I just want to restore the balance in this relationship.”

Luna couldn’t help but beam at this statement, Alucard considered whatever they had a relationship, “I guess I can let you take me out, after all, I’m your marefriend.”

The marefriend was a test on Luna’s part, to test the waters with him, to see if Alucard considered her as his marefriend, Alucard was stunned for a couple of seconds, and soon the seconds became minutes. Yet, Alucard didn’t say anything or moved at all; he was just staring at her trying to formulate an answer.

Luna was starting to lament being so bold, to the point she was starting to miss her time on the moon.

Alucard witnessing her in that panicked state couldn’t help but chuckle, why was she so scared of him rejecting her, she was perfect, he was the problem. Perceiving this, Alucard decided to give her a quick peck on the lips to snap her out of her trance.

“Are you sure you want to chain yourself to me, princess? I’m not the knight in shining armor that mares dream about, are you sure you want to take this to the next level? I’m not with you for sex, or money, you’ll always have a friend in me, but I don’t want you to be chained in something you might not want...I don’t want you to wake up one day seeing a monster in your bed.” Alucard sighed as a single thought invaded his mind would she really love a monster, would she really love him after everything he had done?

“I don’t understand why you see yourself as a monster since you came into my life you have become an essential part of it, I don’t want you for your abilities or your strength, I want to be with you for the way you make me feel, you make me feel like I’m the only thing that matters, you are not a monster Alucard, and you will never be one before my eyes.” Luna approached Alucard, smiling sweetly at him, “And yes, I want to be your Marefriend, only if you want to be my Coltfriend.”

‘I wonder if that’s true, for some reason I feel compelled to believe her that she would never fear me,’

With a soft chuckle Alucard decided it was best to take this gamble, “Alright Princess, you will have the pleasure of being my marefriend, but you should’ve have read the fine print little princess or at least the terms and conditions of this agreement before accepting, the amount of sex will have to be doubled! after all, why would I masturbate when I have a beautiful Marefriend at my package disposal.”

Luna began to laugh out loud; there was the usual Alucard she had started to fall in love with, “It is you who must please my every need and desire, for I am your mistress! Now that I have you in my hooves, you will have to please my every need from sex to cuddles! I want a lot of cuddles!”

“Oh, no! Cuddles! my only weakness!” Alucard started to put on a show that would leave Rarity in shame, falling into the ground, shaking in fake fear.

“Hahaha, yes! Indeed cuddles!” Luna said, using a tone of voice similar to the one she had as Nightmare moon.

“But in all seriousness, now that you’re my marefriend, I will finally start using this package, to the fullest extent of its power and potential!!” Alucard said, pointing to this magnificent unholy package.

Luna laughed and seductively biting her lips, “Kinky, thy princess likes it.”

“Bitches love cannons...” Alucard levitated his cup, taking a sip of his wine.

A few minutes later, everypony invited to the coronation had arrived at the Crystal Empire, the castle was wholly decorated with the majority of the decorations being items related to Cadence and Shining cutie marks, the crystal ponies were beyond happy with this celebration.

Inside the castle, in the room, the royal family had selected for the coronation to take place; the room had around two hundred tables, mostly for the royals and foreign dignitaries, that had come to witness the rise of the new crystal rulers.

Alucard was in the same area, where Celestia, Luna, and the girls were sitting and waiting for the coronation to start.

After a couple of hours, the coronation finally started, Celestia and Luna teleported to their designated areas waiting for Shining Armor and Cadence to arrive.

Music filled the air; the ponies and non-ponies present were silent in anticipation, waiting for the celebration to start.

Waiting for the future rulers of the Crystal Empire, the doors of the throne room opened wide, showing Shining in crystalline armor, and Cadence in a beautiful dress that resembled a Borealis halo, both slowly walked to the stand where Celestia and Luna waited for them.

The Crystal Ponies whispered among each other in joy for soon their beloved duo would officially be their new leaders; some were even crying.

After what it seemed to be the longest walk, Shining and Cadence reached the royal sisters, the music began to slowly die down, and Celestia was the first one to step forward to begin her speech.

“Today we all gather, to commemorate the coronation of these two noble ponies, Shining who has always put the needs of Equestria above himself, and Cadence a pony with a heart so big that I don’t know how it fits inside of her, I saw her grow from being a little filly to being a princess-worthy of love and reverence, there are no ponies more worthy of taking this task!” Celestia said with a warm smile for everyone to hear.

With that, Celestia had finished her speech, and so Luna stepped forward, and with a soft smile, began her part.

“I didn’t have the pleasure of experiencing everything my sister experienced with you two, but I can see the goodness, love, and strength you both have, remember ruling has its ups and downs, but as long as you remember where you come from and what your goal is, your destiny will be glorious!” Luna shouted in the Canterlot voice for everyone to hear.

“The Sun blesses you!” Celestia said, putting a crown on Cadence’s head.

“The Moon blesses you!” Luna said, putting a crown on Shining’s head.

“All Hail the Prince and Princess of the Crystal Empire!” Both Celestia and Luna shouted, making everyone in the room and outside cheer in joy, the masses began to their new rulers; everything was going according to plan.

Alucard was gone at the end of the coronation after all his mission was to exterminate plagues, and some bugs had dared to infiltrate the empire with him in it.

“What happened to those who infiltrated the train?” Lamia said, popping out of nowhere.

“After I saw that they didn’t do any, I killed them,” Alucard replied, not really giving her unnatural abilities a thought, “I was quite disappointed apart from their pathetic shapeshifting skills, they were pretty harmless.”

“You promised me you’d let me see!” Lamia said, pouting angrily at him.

“I saved the best for you, and I didn’t even kill them myself in person,” Alucard said shrugging his shoulders trying to defuse the Lamia situation, “I manipulated my shadows to kill them, they weren’t worth my time,”

“Yupi! you saved the best for me!” Lamia cried in joy, “Sooooo, these baddies are worth your time?”

“That’s... debatable,” Alucard replied with a smile.

Alucard approached the main baddies with a wide smile; apparently, they decided to hide inside a cave, how cliche is that? Anyways, when Alucard entered, he noticed that the cave had many unnatural crystals popping out of the walls, and a presence he had felt before, the first being he had felt when he first arrived at Equestria and an unknown presence close to that overtop villain.

‘This is going to be fun,’ Alucard thought, slowly making his way to the idiots he had to kill.

‘I know, right!’ Lamia thought, replying to Alucard’s thought, unbeknown to her, Alucard couldn’t hear her.

Sombra was surprised, to say the least, “What are you doing here?...”

Chrysalis, just as surprised, said, “My soldiers were supposed to have kidnapped Princess Luna! What happened!”

“You mean the thousands of insects that invaded the city, or those who infiltrated the train, or the poor ones that infiltrated the castle,” Alucard said with a smile as Lamia looked from behind with admiration. “Well, those of the train killed them, and those of the castle too, those of the city would take a long time, I’d rather kill their Queen.”

“Monster!” Chrysalis shouted angrily, ‘that explains why they never contacted me back.’

“Let’s end this, I have a package to use to its full extent, and you’re wasting my time,” Alucard said, extending his shadows, the shadows showed multiple eyes, this made Chrysalis take a step back.

“You didn’t tell me he was a monster of this caliber! You fucking liar, Sombra!” Chrysalis was shaking in fear and started to take a few steps back slowly, “I didn’t agree to fight a demon!”

“Don’t be a coward! Besides, I don’t need you to kill him! I can handle this weakling alone!” Sombra said proudly, taking a step forward, getting ready to fight Alucard in a one on one.

“Let’s make a deal, bug queen, take the bugs you infiltrated out of Equestria, and I will spare your life..” Alucard said, bloodlust flowing free, “Refuse, and you will die.”

“Deal!” Chrysalis didn’t have to even think about the offer; she knew that pony was dangerous and proceeded to fly out of the cave, with a single thought on her mind, ‘how could I make an alliance with someone so stupid! Can’t he see the beast in front of him! That pony Is a monster! The emotions I feel coming out of him are….. I must escape while I still have the chance, Equestria is playing fire. ‘

The cave had only three ponies now Sombra, Alucard, and Lamia, Sombra took a step forward only to lose the hoof he used immediately, Sombra tried to respond with his dark magic but a hell hound ripped off a part of his face and his horn, Sombra lost the fight in three seconds, he could only appreciate his stupidity at the end by seeing the shadows and hell hounds approaching him slowly to devour him.

Alucard had finished his mission fast, after all, he had a princess to ~~bang~~ date waiting for him, as he turned around to see Lamia, and asked her what she thought about his performance “What do you think...” But what he saw was something he wasn’t expecting, someone had taken hold of Lamia, the unknown creature was some kind of werewolf, a demonic one at that.

The creature took a couple of steps forward and with its mouth full of blood and a demonic grin of his face said, “My name is Baphomet, general of the demon lord Apollyon, I have been tasked to kill you, I must thank you for bringing snacks with you, such a thoughtful thing to do,” He was talking about Lamia, she was bleeding, that demon had the balls to hurt her.

“HAHAHAHAHA, It’s been quite some time,” Alucard was trembling.

“Since someone made you tremble with fear?” Baphomet asked with a smile on his face.

“Since someone elicited my wrath!” Alucard roared with a wicked smile of his own, appearing on his face, “It’s time to go, bitch.”

Baphomet started to cackle like a mad man, “This is going to be sooo fun, hahaha!”

Alucard dashed forward at a blinding speed, taking Lamia out of Baphomet’s paws, destroying the paw that was holding her on his way.

“You risked your body, to protect such a low and pathetic creature,” Baphomet had counterattacked Alucard’s advance, destroying his entire upper body.

“At this point, I take damage for shits and giggles,” Alucard said, regenerating his body.

Aeron and an unknown demon appeared from the shadows, “We’ll take care of her, you deal with Baphomet.” Arion was the one to speak; the other demon was trembling.

“Haha, that damned Lux getting in the way of my lord’s plan! When I get back to Makai, that wretch will pay,” Baphomet laughed so hard that it rumbled through the cave.

“Well, it seems that you have my full attention,” Alucard said slowly approaching the wolf, “It’s not the first time I trained a bitch to know his place, so pay attention. The class is about to start.”

‘Two monsters are about to face the crystal empire might not survive this encounter,’ Arion thought as he tended the wounded Lamia.
