Order 1: Creeping Shadows
(opening for the story in video)
Ch.01
The night was wondrous. It was serene. Not a single cricket chirped nor did a leaf move. The calm kind of summer night that one would enjoy camping out in with a friend. But the night wasn't enjoyed by one pony in particular. Mi Amore Cadenza Wingates Van Hellpony. Or rather Cadence for she was not gifted with a short name. She was running for her life in the dungeons of Canterlot. Why? Because her deranged uncle Richard Van Hellpony was hunting her like an animal. Her father had recently died a week before and named her the successor to the family 'business'. She had no clue what that was but her uncle was practically frothing at the mouth. He was denied his seat and aimed to kill Cadence in a coup de' ta. As the pink alicorn ran exhausted she remembered what her father had said to her before his passing.
"Cadence. My time is short. Listen to me. If you ever find yourself in great peril or cornered by some great foe go to the forgotten dungeon below Canerlot. In the last one lies your salvation."
Cadence ran with renewed vigor her hoof-steps echoing in the empty stone halls. Soon enough she came to a large wooden door emblazoned by a large pentagram seal. Cadence was nervous but her determination to live grew seven fold as she heard Richard and his goons starting to catch up. She pushed open the door open with more than enough force and came stumbling in. The room was bare save for a lone figure in the corner. It appeared to be the mummified corpse of a unicorn in a black straight jacket nailed to the wall.
"Is this a joke father? If it is it is a rather poor one. Saviors need food and water to live."
"There you are!"
Cadence's blood ran cold as she heard the voice of Richard behind her. She whipped around and came muzzle to muzzle with the dark brown unicorn. Cadence gave a startled yelp falling over onto her flank. Richard charged a shot from his horn. The energy beam flew over and grazed her front left hoof. Blood spattered behind her and onto the corpse. Cadence stumbled backwards in the dark room. Her uncle grinned maliciously.
"That. Was for waisting my time. Your ears go next."
Richard advanced murder in his eyes. Cadence was scared.
"What are you uncle!? To turn weapons on your own kin!?"
He simply smirked pointing his horn straight at her head.
"Good night Cadence."
The horn surged with energy but stopped as a strange noise was heard. It was something wet on the stone floor. One of Richard's goons paled and he pointed with his hoof.
"L-lord Richard! T-t-the corpse is alive!"
"What!?"
The goon spoke truth. The corpse now a black furred mare had pulled herself from the wall though her front hooves where still tied behind her back. She was now sliding her serpentine tongue up and down the bloody stone floor gleaming every drop like a starved animal. She glanced up grinning showing off her fanged mouth and slitted teal eyes. She chuckled ever so lightly as she stood on her hind hooves and writhed around a bit. After all of two seconds the wings pinned behind her front hooves flared to life slicing through the bonds with ease. The regal undead alicorn stood in all her glory. Richard, his goons, and Cadence where mortified.
"K-kill it! Give Cadence an escort on her way to tartarus!"
The goons in their fear readied their horns without question. Too bad the dark mare was fast. She shimmered out of exisance for a few seconds before reappearing with the top half of a goon's head in her hoof. She grinned and guzzled down the blood greedily like a drunkard needing a beer. Once the blood was gone the black menace surged forward and cleaved the other goon in half with one of her wings. She turned to Richard blood matting the fur under her chin.
"N-no! Stay away!"
The alicorn didn't listen. She brought her hoof down at lightning speed taking off one of Richard's hooves. She grinned reveling in the aftermath of the slaughter. Her teal eyes slid over the room and settled on Cadence. She was sitting against the wall fear obvious in her eyes. The demon strode over casually knowing she had all the time in the world. Soon enough she stood before Cadence towering over her that shark toothed grin refusing to leave her face. Silence reigned for a few moments before the dark mare got to her knees and lowered her head in respect.
"Have you sustained any injuries my master?"
"..." Cadence was shocked. Her father had never mentioned anything such as this to her before. But as Cadence mulled things over Richard got to his hooves and charged his horn.
"I will not die! Hellpony is mine!"
Richard fired his shot. All that was heard was the impact of magic on flesh. The dark mare slowly turned her head glaring at him her eyes alone freezing him in place making his blood run cold. The mare's arm was protecting Cadence. There was a hole in her arm where Richard's shot would have entered Cadence's head.
"You are unfit to be this family's head. Your blood reeks to high holy heaven!"
Cadence charged her horn aiming at Richard.
"What is your name?"
"My master. Your father called me Nightmare Moon."
A single magical bolt was heard sounding about the room before it fell totally quiet once again.
~~~~~~~~~~~
10 years later,
It was a beautiful night just like the one 10 years ago. Cadence now head of the Hellpony organization was called out to a small town called ponyville. She was very much familiar with the town being the former foal-sitter of one of its residents Twilight Sparkle. Cadence remembered the happy little filly. But a few days after her own ordeal Twilight's house was robbed and her parents killed. She had been found with a magical burn in her abdomen. Fortunately Queen Celestia took her in. A few days ago she was sent to ponyville to learn of the magic of friendship. Unforunatly it didn't seem to be working. She was as withdrawn as ever despite living in a library. Cadence looked out the window of the chariot as it came to a halt. She adjusted the tie on her olive green suit and stepped out. Placed in front of her was a large command tent. The guards at the front opened the tent door for her. As Cadence stepped in she was greeted by utter chaos. Authorities where squabbling amongst themselves. Fortunately enough all came to attention when they realized she was there. As the room fell silent another pony entered. He was a grey pegasus in a suit with a monocle perched over his left eye. He was the Hellpony family butler Walter C. Dornez.
"Ahem. Gentlemen give me an update."
One pony who must have been the one in charge stepped up.
"Of course lady Hellpony. You see there was an occurrence in ponyville that moved into the everfree. We have sent in units but there are no replies."
"Of course there aren't. What you are dealing with here is a very bad thing."
Cadence levetated a picture.
"How long ago was this taken?"
"About an hour or so ago why? What are they?"
"As I feared. They are ghouls. Once a pony attacked by a vampony. Ghouls are made from a non-virgin or pony of the same sex as the original vampony. They are now nothing more than mindless puppets."
"Ghouls? Vampony? You expect me to believe this?!"
"I really don't care. Of course a low ranking officer like you wouldn't know. Hellpony has been fighting a war in the shadows for centuries now. Like it or not your men are nothing but a meal to the 'effected'. But this is where Hellpony comes in."
"How many have you dispatched?"
"One."
"One!?"
"Correct. She is our trump card. When it comes to vamponies and other creatures of the dark nopony is more specialized than her."
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the middle of a dark meadow a lone figure stood. She was large wearing a blood red trench coat with a matching wide brim fedora hat. Covering her eyes where circular orange tinted sunglasses. Beneath the clothes was a set of cyan blue armor. Occasionally the wind would pick up and her coat fluttered showing off her crescent moon cutie mark. She leaned her head back looking up at the full moon. She breathed in deeply drinking in the atmosphere.
"Ah such a beautiful night. Makes me want to have a bite to drink."
Nightmare Moon continued forward to her target.
Somewhere else in the forest a lone figure ran for her life. A purple unicorn was darting through the forest heart racing. She hoped she left that ... Thing! Behind.
'Oh Faust! How did I get myself into this!? Sure random pony priests aren't immediately suspicious as they casually wander into the everfree with a small army behind them."
Twilight sat catching her breath.
"I told you it was useless running!"
'Oh buck me!'
Twilight snapped around to see a pale white earth pony with a black mane in the garbs of a priest. Twilight in defense shot a few spells at him. He simply chuckled disappearing and reappearing in front of her. He continued his dark chuckle as he lifted her up by the throat.
"Please magic is useless here! Magic could never kill a vampony! Still I don't want another vampony with free will running about do I? So I will take your virginity before I take my time draining you! In the end you will just be one of my ghouls."
Fresh fear gripped the unicorn's heart and it burned through her veins. Knowing nopony was around to hear she let loose one last word hoping against hope for a savior and praying to Faust.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!"
"I think that is enough fun for one night don't you?"
The vampony vicar dropped Twilight and whipped around stairing at the larger newcomer.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Your death."
"My death? Oh really? Hehhehheh how pathetic. Kill her."
The vicar stomped one hoof and ghouls emerged from the forest armed with all sorts of weaponry. They hacked, slashed, and shot at the tall black pony. As she went down spilling blood and losing limbs her dark twisted smile never faltered nor faded. The vicar didn't notice and Twilight was in too much shock at witnessing this. The phony pony priest laughed over the corpse of his fallen foe. But another darker laugh coated his own. It was emanating from ... The corpse!? As Nightmare Moon lay on the ground her various body parts dissolved into shadow. The one new blast of shadow flew up and twisted into the air before crashing down some feet away. All that could be seen in the shadow was a shark toothed smile and a pair of teal eyes.
Soon the shadows settled reforming Nightmare's clothes.
"Is that all!? Weapons could never kill a vampony! Well .. Ordinary weapons that is."
Nightmare slid and armored hoof into her coat. What Twilight noticed through her shock was there was a clamp on the horse shoe. When a click was heard she feared what sort of hedious thing would be produced. What kind of nasty weapon? The question was answered when she pulled a long silver object. Engraved into the barrel of the gun was 'Hellpony .454 Cassul'. Twilight and the vampony of course had no clue as to what a gun was before Nightmare leveled it at a ghoul's head. She used her magic to pull the trigger. A loud bang was heard and the ghoul's head was taken clean off. Its body disintegrated into ash. Nightmare continued shooting rapidly turning in a slow circle killing the ghouls.
"What!? How can she be killing them!? And why is a fellow vampony with the ponies!?"
Nightmare dropped her spent clip reloading. She put the barrel of the gun in her mouth sliding it back completing the reload process.
"You short sighted punk! Are there no morals these days? That's the problem with you little shits. You go on rampages whenever the urge hits you. If ponies die out so do we! And besides I CAN'T disobey the ponies. Its a long story unfit for trash like you. Now die!"
Nightmare leveled the gun with his heart. The vicar panicked. He appeared behind Twilight and held her up like a shield. Nightmare smirked.
"No need to get our jimmies rustled right? I'm not asking for much. Just a bit of help. You could turn a blind eye. Say I escaped."
Nightmare wasn't listening to the scum talking she was staring into the frightened eyes of Twilight. She took in a deep breath and now knew the answer to the question she was going to ask.
"Hey filly you a virgin?"
"Eh!?"
"What the hell are you getting at!?"
"Answer me."
"Well .. Umm."
"Stop this nonsense!"
"Answer me!"
"Y-Yes! I am!"
A single crack from the gun was heard. Twilight and the vampony now had holes in their chest. Twilight was dropped and Nightmare Moon rushed the vicar. She leaned back on her hind legs and thrust her right front hoof deep into his chest and through his heart. The vampony exploded in blood his soul presumably sent to the flames of hell. Nightmare turned and walked over to Twilight.
"I'm sorry but I had to shoot through your lung to hit his heart. You are dying. You have a choice. Die here or fight on."
Nightmare loomed over the bleeding unicorn. Twilight was bleeding heavily and she was crying. Before her eyes flashed her short life. She wasn't going to die here. She wasn't going to disappoint Queen Celestia. It wasn't her time yet! Shaking violently her hoof lifted into the air towards the dark alicorn. Nightmare grinned. Finally the last bit of energy left Twilight her hoof fell .. Into Nightmare's. The pentagram designs on the shoe armor glowed red. Twilight was reflected in the glasses.
"Tonight truly is .. A beautiful night little mare."
Nightmare leaned in and sank her fangs into Twilight's neck. After the process was complete Nightmare folded Twilight up in a security blanket and took her back to her master.
Some time later Cadence stood waiting. She saw Nightmare with a survivor on her back. Cadence waited and Nightmare finally drew close.
"Status."
"Enemy vampony was killed. No survivors."
"Who is that then?"
Nightmare pulled Twilight around who looked up at Cadence with her big purple eyes. Cadence failed to note they where slitted. Cadence seeing the young mare she had foal-sitted for so long couldn't maintain a distant or leadarly posture. She surged forward and scooped up Twilight.
"Oh Twilight! What are you doing here!? Oh my Faust are you ok? Oh I'm so glad you are ok! Nightmare why didn't you count her as a survivor?"
"Because she isn't alive... Master."
"Wha?"
Realization dawned on Cadence and she looked over Twilight once more this time noting the slitted eyes.
'No! Please let this be some cruel trick like with the cupcakes Nightmare!'
Cadence found the last nail in the coffin by examining Twilight's neck. The puncture marks were indeed there. The alicorn paled. Twilight teared up and clutched the alicorn.
"I'm so sorry Cadence! I had to or I would die! I don't want to end up like mama and papa!"
The alicorn held Twilight closer trying to calm the sobbing, shaking form.
"Shh everything will be ok. Calm down."
Cadence tried calming the smaller mare the entire ride back to the Hellpony estate. Walter didn't ask questions as he drove. Cadence stared icy daggers at the still smirking Nightmare Moon the entire ride.
'Oh how amusing! I wonder who this pony is to get master so riled up like this.'
To be continued.
Order 2: The sword dancer
Order 2: The sword dancer
Ch.02
Nightmare Moon stood over Twilight's sleeping form like a hawk. Twilight slumbered piecefully in a rather large and plush bed. Cadence however was still trying to menace Nightmare with her presence. However despite that there was one question nagging Cadence.
"Nightmare. Both of you are of the same sex. How is it she isnt a ghoul?"
"I can break my own rules my master."
Nightmare sat on the side of the bed closer to Twilight's head. A smirk was still prominant on her face more visable now that she removed the fedora hat and sunglasses. Cadence rolled her eyes. She had known the vampony for ten years now and was no closer to unraveling her now than she was that day ten years ago. She turned on a hoof.
"I will fetch Walter. Should she wake dont frighten her."
"Of course master."
Meanwhile Twilight was having some wierd dreams that made her question whether or not she had ever ingested drugs before. Twilight stood in a blank white room. There was nothing but the white void. She swiveled her head around unsure. But as coherent thoughts formulated the ground split open and a purple haze spewed out. From the haze came a small horde of ghouls. And for some reason they had an english accent.
"Oy! Its the lil' Filly!"
"Get er!"
Twilight bolted and the croud of ghouls kept pace. In the back of Twilight's head she realized that none of this was realistic but she ran screaming reguardless. Well that is until she ran into a large shadow figure. Twilight looked up and saw Nightmare Moon leering over her.
"Welcome to the life of the draculina. You have chosen the path of the night. Hehhehheh."
With each word spoken the midnight mare leaned closer the razor toothed maw opening a bit more. Just as Twilight could feel the steamy hot breath against the fur on her neck she snapped awake from her dream bolting upright in bed. She was in a powder blue pajama top. She pulled it up and looked down expecting the worst, a massive hole in her chest. When she saw none she sighed in relief. That was before she glanced up. Nightmare Moon's smile grew larger and Twilight shrieked again. Nightmare slid off the bed still wearing her grin as Twilight got an idea. After a bit of head movement she found what she was looking for. Twilight levetated a hoof mirror over to her. Twilight investigated her face finding nothing off or out of place .. that is until she smiled into it. The mirror went flying.
"FANGS!?"
"You're too loud Twilight. I dont care what you are, you are still a pony, show some manners."
Cadence stood at the entrance to the room with a sad smile. Walter flanked her with a yellow uniform in his hooves. Twilight calmed down a bit and slumped forward in the bed.
"So now that I'm a vampony what will happen to me?"
Cadence cast a nervous glance to Nightmare Moon.
"First of all we are the Hellpony organization. The monsters who hunt the monsters in the night. Spacifically vamponies. Since you are now Nightmare's fledgeling you will be trained by her and work for us. I'm sorry but until you are released this is how it will be. Get dressed and we will begin training."
Walter deposited the uniform on the bed and Cadence followed by Walter and Nightmare left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three weeks later,
Twilight stood on a grassy hill a soft breeze billowing around her tugging at her mane playfully. She peered down below trying to see her target. In her magic grip was her new rifle. Almost wildly she fired down below trying to hit the fluttering piece of paper.
"No no no, If you aim like a pony then you will miss like one."
"B-but I dont see the target!"
Nightmare Moon removed the Cassul from her coat.
"I do. One kilometer away."
Nightmare fired one the bullet ripping the paper target clean in half. When the target was brought back Twilight saw the damage.
"W-whoa. Dead on."
Off to the side Cadence stood waiting for Nightmare's attention. Knowing the vampony she already knew her master was there. Nightmare turned.
"Yes my master?"
"I have a mission for the both of you."
In a small village Stalliongrad stood a house. Nothing seperated this home from any other. It was simple but pleasant. Nothing anypony would look at twice. That however was the outside of the house. The inside was a different story. Inside the place had been turned into hell in a handbasket. The bodies of a small family sat strewn everywhere. And worst of it all was a pair of vamponies making out inspite of the carnage. One was a mare a light grey coat and dark brown mane, long and straight. The other was a colt much the same only a shorter mane slicked forward.
"Hey Edward want to get out of here incase the guard shows up?"
"Please bella! The guard cant do anything to us! We are invincible vamponies!"
The colt was inturupted by the loud buzzing of the door bell.
"Ah hell. I'll go shut that wanker up."
The colt made his way over to the door and peered through the peep hole. It was dark and all he could make out was a form. The shrouded form of a very tall pony with wings and a large hat. But as it drew closer he could make out details. The red coat, the sunglasses, the ... large gun pointing through the door! The colt reared and tried to run away but bullets punching through the door did the work for him sliding him up the hall and into the wall. Once the bullets stoped firing the door crumbled and Nightmare Moon stepped through the empty door way. Edward cried out and began firing his own gun given to him by his employer. The uzi was emptied into Nightmare who stood never faltering.
"You cant turn into mist or bats. You kill mares and foals when you dont even need to feed. And you cant even heal the damage you have taken. You still want to call yourself nosferatu? What a disgrace!"
The colt ran off and Nightmare simply grinned following at a leisurly pace. Soon he ended up at a dead end and Nightmare raised her gun smile never fading. The the bullets came. White hot chuncks of silver that litterally exploded hit Edward tearing flesh and leading him to bleed profusely. When Nightmare was done toying with him she plunged her hoof into his chest ripping out and crushing his heart. Nightmare chuckled lightly like a filly with a favorite ball. But she noticed something move out of the corner of her eye. It was the window wide open moving in the breeze.
'Little Filly do hurry up it is escaping.'
Twlight perched on the roof levetated her rifle.
"But she is already 500 no 600 meters away!"
'Dont worry just shoot the way I taught you. You will put the bullet right through her.'
"But it is so dark and I dont have a scope!"
Nightmare materialized behind her. "That's a pony complaint. Now its time to take that shot like a proper vampony!"
The increased excited nature of Nightmare's voice seemed to drive power into Twilight's limbs. Her eyes flashed crimson zooming in on her target. She could do this! After a brief moment of hesitation the gun kicked and rang out. The bullet twisted out of the barrel and flew straight and true. After a few seconds it went straight through the vampony's heart and she collapsed dead on the pavement.
"Good job, Little Filly."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Holy Wastelands,
"Nah yee two stop tha. Nopony gets into heaven raisin their hoof tay anothir. Violance should only be used on Demons an hethans."
"Yes father Anderpony!"
Two yound colts stood before a very large stallion. He was slightly smaller than Nightmare Moon. He wore circular spectacles and a large golden cross hung from his neck. He was also cloaked in the garbs of a priest and a large grey trech coat. His mane was short cut and sandy blonde while his coat was a darker blonde. The colts scampered off as an elder trotted up to the priest named Anderpony.
"Father Alexander Anderpony?"
"Yes brother Fredric?"
"I have a mission for you."
"Really?"
"Yes it seems Hellpony has had a hoof full of vampony attacks and another one is occuring int the middle of the everfree."
"Isn tha the border of our territory n theirs?"
"Yes, but Iscariot cannot shirk from this. Doing so may show weakness, besides you might have some fun. I hear that Hellpony's trump card will be there."
Anderpony's kind smile twisted into a smile of pure unadulterated glee.
"Let thoes who do not worship oor goddess Faust tremble n fear fer Iscariot. Amen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abandoned Hospital, Everfree
Flashes in the window told the entire story. These flashes told of a glee filled Nightmare Moon brutally massacuring every non-living thing with a slight pulse. Each blast from the dreaded .454 Cassul told of another death. But as much fun as it was shooting down the mindless meat-bags Nightmare's smile faded and her thoughts wandered to her fledgeling. Twilight was sitting outside on the stairs probably bored as all hell..
'Oy! Little Filly! Snap to it and kill these ghouls. Its such a hassle so its up to you.'
Almost instantly the sound of Twilight breaking down the front door and rolling in rang out. Nightmare smirked.
"Ok Twilight these things are no longer ponies, just mindless puppets. You can do this!"
Twilight after reassuring herself raised her rifle and began firing on the ghouls. They had no chance. But after multiple rounds Twilight was slipping away to a very dark place. Her eyes turned crimson and her bullets flew faster. Nightmare sat at the top of the stairs as her fledgeling ran up and past her. Nightmare removed a blood packet from her coat and began drinking.
"Knock em dead kid."
After a few more shots the torso of a ghoul fell onto the stairs next to her. It rose its head shakily still moaning. Uncareingly Nightmare blew its head clean off. She got up and followed her fledgeling.
"Little Filly, when you shoot aim for the head or the heart to kill it. These ponies didnt become ghouls because they enjoy it. The best thing we can do for them now is to kill them as quickly as possible."
Twilight whirrled around to face Nightmare. She was sweating and smiling lightly.
"Mam yes mam, my master!"
"Ho."
Twilight went right back to work shooting and killing before finally going in for a melee kill. As a ghoul crashed to the ground her hoof came down on its head.
"Sweet Black fucking Sabbath, looks like you are finally catching on to what it means to be a midian."
Nightmare stopped herself noticing her fledgeling had a blood-coated hoof near her face. Twilight's now serpentine tongue slid out of her mouth and creped towards the blood, inching closer till it was about a millimeter away. Then a forign object entered her neck. A glimmering bayonet was resting quite comfortably in her neck. Before she could even scream several more entered her body and she fell to the ground. Nightmare's eyes widened with surprise behind her glasses.
'Blessed bayonets.'
Then as soon as her thought came pamplets of paper began swarming the walls pinning themselves to any and every door and window in sight.
"A Barrier!?"
The heavy hoof steps of an individual comming down the stairs could be heard. Both Nightmare and Twilight turned to look for the sorce of the noise, the latter painfully so. Then the creature turned the corner. The tall pony was walking on his hind hooves. Attached to his wrists where bracers of some kind each clasping a bloodied bayonet. Glasses and a golden cross shimmered in the moon-light. On his hooves where white gloves inscibed. One said 'Speak with Dead' and 'Faust is in heaven now'.
"AH whit do we have here? Hellpony dogs."
Nightmare stood on her hind hooves as well drawing Cassul.
"We are tha divine instraments o' Faust and will destroy down ta tha last wee bit o cell of all who oppose oor goddess. AMEN!"
Anderpony crossed his bayonets forming a cross with them. Both began walking and took one step past eachother.
"Were here for the vampony Iscariot member."
"Thee only yins left here are yer sorry pale ahsses."
"Is that so?"
Both Nightmare and Anderpony wheeled around. Anderpony got the first shot by driving both bayonets through Nightmare's shoulders. Nightmare responded by bringing up her gun.
"Boom."
The gun went off and Anderpony went flying as the bullet entered his head.
"Headshot."
Nightmare pulled the bayonets from her body. "You attacked a vampony in the middle of the night without so much as an ambush. You where a brave priest, though a fool."
"M-master."
"Dont speak Twilight you have been stabbed by blessed bayonets. These will take some time to heal."
"MASTER!"
A shadow fell over Nightmare and two bayonets entered her shoulders from behind.
"The hell?"
A maniacle cackle rose from the risen priest and Nightmare lepped off of the blades wheeling through the air firing with her gun. All bullets hit and Anderpony was forced to the ground again. But like before he got up his wounds still steaming. He charged the vampony slashing. She elegantly dodged the strokes raining hell from Cassul. Anderpony crossed his arms taking the bullets and Nightmare wheeled away gaining distance. But Anderpony was prepared. More smaller bayonets slid out of his coat and the bracers on his wrists loaded with four each. They where fired and Nightmare grinned as she shot them down. But the priest was cunning. As she blasted the blades down he rushed her again and drove bladed through her hooves pinning her to the wall. He then tossed more bayonets into her point blank range some entering her heart. But to be absolutly sure he loaded two more blades and cut her head off watching it trail through the air like a bloody comet he shouted one word.
"AMEN!!" The priest reared back laughing. "Thas it!? Tha thing wis Hellpony's ultimate weapon!? Tha great domesticated vampony? Whit ah joke!"
Anderpony turned his attention to a pool of blood where Twilight was supposed to be. He adjusted his glasses.
"Ah. Ah see ah may have underestimated tha draculina ah wee bit."
Anderson trudged forward a mad grin on his face. As the priest was on the move so was Twilight. She staggered forward removing the last blade from her back. Her gaze cast down looking on the almost startled expression on her master's decapitated head. Twilight almost broken held it closer to her.
"I was all alone. The only one I had left was you."
Then out of nowhere a blade pierced the head and pinned it to the wall. Anderpony was in sight. Twilight paniced and ran to a window only to be shocked by an unknown energy.
"Yee cant escape lass. Tha there is a barrier. Yee midians cannae cross thoes! Tame tae die. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!"
'Oh what do I do, what do I do!? Im going to die!'
'Is this any time to be panicing Little Filly?'
Twilight cast her gaze over in stunned silance to her master's decapitated head. It was melting and formed a pool of blood that began to write in itself.
'Drink my blood and you will never again be a slave. Drink and you will join my clan free to walk the night and drink blood of your own choosing. Drink my blood Little Filly .. No! Twilight Sparkle!'
Twilight was stunned, she didnt know how to respond until Anderpony stood behind her blades crossed on either side of her neck like scissors. The priest moved the blades but there was no decapitation. Bolts of magic flew shattering the blades. Further down the hall stood a proud Cadence flanked by two guards.
"Back away from the girl."
"Ah whit do we have here? If it isn Princess Mi Amore Cadenza Wingates Hellpony! Did yee really think tha just because you are here means ah will run off like a frightened puppy!?"
Anderpony rushed the Hellpony director decapitating the guards turning them into blood gysers. His blades clashed against Cadence's sword and they held in a lock.
"Bio engineered regeneration and they even upgraded your healing. You're a thing!"
"Hehhehheh! Is tha so?"
"Get your hands off of Cadence!"
Twilight now standing aimed her rifle at Anderpony.
"HehhehahahahAHAHAHA!!"
"You better leave while you can Anderpony. Things are starting to look bad for you."
"Dont you two get it? Ahm about to paint tha walls with yee!"
"Then you better hurry up! That vampony you killed will come back to life any minute now!"
"Wha!?"
Twilight looked around and a bat looked back.
'Why didnt you drink the blood you idiot?'
A thousand bats surged in at that moment swarming the priest.
"Oh Faust! There crappin ahl ovah mah new coat!"
The bats swirled together reforming Nightmare Moon.
"Cut off her head? Pierced her heart? You may be modern anti-midian technology but 100 years of occult knowlage produced this! The vampony Nightmare Moon!"
"Master!"
Anderpony and Nightmare clashed again the former taking the latter's arms with him. But the armsregenerated and Nightmare's grin never wavered.
"Well ah cant kill yee whit what ah have now but ah'll be back Hellpony dogs!"
Anderpony took out a bible and pages swirled around him. In mere moments he was gone.
"Shall I go after him my master?"
"No. There is a shadow organization be hind this pulling the strings."
"Then shall I hunt them down and destroy them? Grind them to dust and obliterate?"
"No. When the time comes."
"Oh I cannot wait."
Nightmare moved over to Twilight a slight scowl on her face.
"Why didnt you drink the blood?"
"Well .. you see.. if I drank it felt like something important inside me would die forever."
"hmph. Come along then Little Filly."
"But master! My name isnt 'Little Filly' its Twilight Sparkle!"
"Enough! You are a coward. Little Filly will do."
"Aww you're mean!"
Nightmare walked and Twilight eagerly followed.
"Nightmare. Why did you turn her into a vampony?"
"Why? For fun? Sport? Entertainment? No none of thoes answers seem apropriate. Maybe you ponies rub off on me."
"Heh, Indeed. So now we find this large organized shadow group."
"Like the Nazis?"
"Nightmare that would be retarded."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile a figure stood cloaked in shadow. All that could be seen was that it was wearing large oval glasses. The buttons on its suit sleeves, glasses, and wide grin reflected off of an unknown light sorce.
"Gentlemen ve must prepare for das impending var. Und ze var beyond zat, und ze var beyond das!"
