The Duo head out from the military base following the main road or what is left of it with the sinking feeling that they were being followed but unsure of what. After a couple hours of walking the two hear what sounds like gun fire up ahead, “Sounds like someone may need a helping hoof, come on Violet let’s get a closer look” Night said as he takes off running at a full gallop toward the sound of the gunshots, Violet rolled her eyes and began to run after him “I swear this guy is gonna get us both killed, hey wait up”.

The two reached the source of the gunshots only to find what can only be described as a slaughterhouse, ponies torn apart, blood and guts strewn all over and it just looked like a scene from a nightmare.
The gruesome scene led to a large stone building with a large steel ranger statue at the entrance, this sight sent Night into a flashback as he saw the building for what it was before the war. This was military base Omega this was the very base that he was not only enlisted in but this base was the exact one where he would leave his power armor a gift from rainbow dash, and the love his life a beautiful cream colored earth pony mare with a rose red mane and tail, Rose strings was her name and before the war she was a talented musician. Night was only able to see her again briefly before he was pulled away to go oversee vault 220 after his return home from bombing the enemy behind their lines of course.

Snapping back to reality, Night shook his head violently “that’s going to take some time to get used to” Night said as he looked over at Violet “are you ok Night? You kinda spaced out there” Violet asked, a bit concerned. “Y-yeah I think I’ll be ok violet, just this place was the last place I saw before entering the Vault so it brought back some memories” Night said as he gave a reassuring smile and trotted on ahead into the building.

On one of the desks was a manifest ‘strict orders to move the vampire princes prototype “X01'' Advanced Tesla Armor to the basement of military base Omega under strict lock and key and protected with the highest level of security possible per princess Luna’s orders’ Night read over the orders and he let out a slight grin “so they never let it leave the base did they?” Violet walked up a bit confused “Never let what leave the base?” Violet asked reading over the manifest but was interrupted by the sound of gunshots deeper in the building.

“Well looks like we got to get a move on, let's go night” Violet took off toward the sound as Night looked around for a minute and spotted a memory orb next to a headless skeleton, he levitated the orb over and tapped his horn against it.

Suddenly he was back in time but it wasn’t his body that he was occupying this, instead it was a mare and this was around the time Night was being sent to vault 220. He saw himself in the distance talking to a pony in pitch black power armor with a golden wing emblazoned on the saddle. Night got done talking to the soldier and approached the mare “hey Rose, looks like I am off on another mission. this time I am to be overseer of probably the largest vault constructed, Vault 220 built on top of the other vault in the mountain not entirely sure why, but it's not really my job to argue” I could feel the mare's pain as i walked away “oh, and Rosey if, we don’t see each other after all this… just know I love you” Night said with a smile as he looked back and then walked away. Rose began to silently cry as he left, the vision waned as it moved to another part of the memory roughly three hours after night leaves, a large blast rocks the outpost, she was caught in the blast as it blew the window out and disintegrated her flesh all the way to the bone.

Night came out of the memory gasping as he let out a growl, a strong scent hit him hard as he looked around, the sound of gunshots had stopped but he heard hoofsteps two pairs one sounded like it was wounded the other was slow, like a predator stalking its prey, night could hear the slow spin up of a mini gun.
“NIGHT WALKER HELP!!” Violet shouted from down the hall, pain and terror in her voice, without a moment of thought Night began to sprint towards the sound. As he rounded a corner he saw it, a tall mare about as tall as aunt tia, long flowing mane, black coat and eerie green eyes, with a sinister grin she let out a crazed maniacle laugh as she looked night over “so, this is the one you were trying to get to save you, dumb bitch he can’t save you and now you die!” The alicorn spun up the mini gun and fired it at violet, the bullets hit her in the side, luckily missing any vital organs but causing severe damage.

She let out a loud scream in pain as she fell to the ground hitting her head on a large chunk of concrete knocking her out.
As she was slipping out of consciousness she saw as Night jumped out to protect her. The prince let out a large growl as he bared his fangs, he looked down at violet “I’m sorry Rose, I must now break my promise” he bit down on the large gushing wound and took in some of Violets blood, as he did bright red magic sprung out around him, his mane shot to life as it flowed like a bright red flame, his wings shot open and his eyes began to glow a deep blood red, his fangs seemed to have grown larger in size as he looked at the alicorn with disgust. “Your scent reeks of artificial growth and alterations. You dare call yourself an alicorn? I’LL RIP THAT HORN FROM YOUR HEAD MYSELF!!” Night said as his voice changed, it had a more dark and sinister almost hungry tone to it. The alicorn growled and began to fire up the gatling gun again, night began to charge her as the bullets tore through him but he didn’t feel it through the blood lusted rage, a vampiric power that is unique to him alone, he slammed into the alicorn just before she could put up any defenses, his curved horn piercing her chest she let out a loud shriek in pain, the gatling gun was still going and was pointed directly at his hind leg, the bullets tore through it at such a close range.
Night's rage was beginning to wane, he removed his horn from the alicorn's chest and severed her head with his sword. After she fell he began to feed on the alicorn's blood before collapsing unconscious himself.

Hours had passed and he began to wake up slowly. His body felt stronger somehow as he slowly lifted his head to look around. He saw Violet tightening a bandage onto her side before looking at him. “Oh, you’re finally awake? I-I’m glad” she said with a smile blushing slightly.
“You saved my life again princey, but next time you bite me, at least take me out to dinner first would ya” she said with a giggle and booped his nose.
“I- I felt I wasn’t going to win unless I drank real blood not that fake blood that I am so used to drinking, it was kinda outlawed back then so I was kinda afraid” Night said as he tried to stand but found he couldn't because his leg was far too damaged to support his full weight.
“We’re going to have to find a way to get you moving, lucky for you I found something with your name on it.. Literally!” Violet said as she ran over and slapped a button turning on a light that showed a cage with a power suit behind it, it looked like it had seen better days as it was a faint black with rust covering it, the armor was slightly damaged from the blast that rocked the outpost as well, “My power armor? Quick help me over to it violet.” Night began to limp as best he could over to the terminal and unlock the cage with the secret password only he knew. The doors mag locks disengaged and it opened with a metallic screech. With violet's help he managed to enter the suit and close it up, the helmet's HUD came online and it showed the fusion core was almost drained of energy and that several parts had taken severe damage. “That’s going to be a slight problem, but for another time, let's see if we can get out of here,” Night said as he began to walk. His armor was not as bulky as regular power armor. Instead it had a very light, sleek design, along the shoulders and the spine of the suit there were Tesla coils but they were offline due to a lack of power and being damaged. The enchanted mini gun was useless so he removed it from the battle saddle and then took the minigun from the alicorn and rigged it in place. “Looks like the years haven’t been kind to this suit a lot of the functions are either in disrepair or just needing repaired, but it will have to do”

Night and Violet began to walk out of the outpost, as they stepped out into the open he pressed a button on the side of the helmet that released a hiss of air as he then removed the helmet and had it placed inside the saddle bag on the suit before taking his torn Vault 220 cloak and placing it in his saddle bag as well. “There, now let’s get moving, violet, there’s a spot on this map that has been marked. By the look of it we will be passing through it on the way to New Appleloosa” Violet looked at night “oh? Ok well i’m sure we can make a stop there on the way, any idea what it is?” she asked curiously “not really, just that it was marked Operation Night Strider it’s only a day's walk from here.” Night said he looked down at the mare and smiled ‘I think it’s time for me to let go’ night thought to himself glancing back at the outpost window that his former mare friend took her last look through right before the blast hit the base and sighed as he turned walking away. They began to walk towards the next stop.
