Hellpony: Rise of Chaos Millennium

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!"
