"Once every 100 years, when the faith in God is forgotten, Dracula will come back to life," a statement that proves ironic when considering the situations of our heroes. Christopher Belmont beat Dracula and still had to fight him again 15 years later. If Simon Belmont hadn't destroyed Dracula's remains seven years after his fight with the count, he would have died and Dracula would have been revived. 5 years after Richter beat Dracula, he was controlled by the dark priest Shaft to revive Dracula... if it wasn't for Alucard, Dracula would have come back and reigned terror on Europe yet again... and now, one year after Alucard defeated Dracula, it's back... with Scootaloo having to fight her friends, or well, ex-friends, to destroy Dracula's castle again yet again this century. Luckily the magic of friendship exists to reveal her hidden potential.

Scootaloo and Alucard walked through the familiar hallways, through the Memory Museum and the Ever Garden, going up to the final location, one that Scootaloo has called The Hall of Torture. The hall way is filled with iron maidens, but Scootaloo doesn't pay them any mind, instead focusing on climbing the castle to get to the Top Floor. Some more secret areas and more equipment and Scootaloo has a dragon helm of her own. Each stair climbed leads them closer to Dracula and Sweetie Belle.

In fact, there is only a few relics left to collect, namely, the Soul of Bat and Form of Mist for Alucard and at least one other for Scootaloo. And so Scootaloo and Alucard split up to find the missing relics.

As Scootaloo walked down her path, she noticed just how different this area was from before. "So many staircases that are just missing, it seems," Scootaloo commented as she used three jumps to reach a higher platform, breaking a candle to get... feathers? She picked it up and it acted as other subweapons, replacing her current one with it, when she used it on the ground, she shot one to three feathers from her wing, in the air however, she shot 3 feathers exactly in a downward spread. "Heh, a unique subweapon just for me? Oh, Chaos, you really shouldn't have," Scootaloo said sarcastically as she picked up hold water again, not liking these feathers as they seem pretty useless.

Scootaloo keeps going through her path even finding a Final Guard(A golden version of the Great Armor) which... was tedious to kill because it resists everything... luckily she has holy water, but it still takes forever just because of how much health this resistant thing has!

After Scootaloo beat the Final Guard, she moved forward, finding a Familiar Card of her own, summoning a little cloud to shock her enemies. Such a wonder, ain't it?

She kept going, finding a wall that could be broken and doing so to reveal a Life up with a Mana up.

She eventually entered a room with another Doppelganger of her, this one clearly being stronger than the one from Memory Museum. It started the fight with a use of Hellfire followed by a teleportation behind Scootaloo and rapid attacks with the fake Fatal Wind(Which Scootaloo is dubbing Fatal Wend) catching Scootaloo way off guard. Luckily she has lots of extra health, right? Scootaloo's little cloud shocks the Doppelganger causing it's onslaught to end as Scootaloo retaliates by using Petra Spirit followed by Infernal Darkness which did loads of damage to the Doppelganger.

Scootaloo even attacked with her Fatal Wind to deal damage in the hopes of causing the Doppelganger to just DIE! Several dash attacks later and the Doppelganger explodes into blood, some of it getting onto Scootaloo's coat and mane, and walks into the next room where she has to jump not once, not twice, but 6 times!

At least when she's at the top, she finds her last relic... a stake made of oak... safe to say she was disappointed. Like, the hell was she expected to do with this?

Oh well, she put it in her bag and started to just move on with her life. She went back down to where she and Alucard had split up originally.

It took Alucard several minutes after Scootaloo got back to return to the split up point, bat and mist forms obtained. They continued through the Hall of Torture's main path until they reach...

Area: Top Floor
Year: 1798

One final save, and one final stairway. Scootaloo and Alucard climb up the stairway, ready to finish the adventure. Slowly going up the stairway, step by step.

They reach the top and Scootaloo breaks a candle to summon... a BIG boomerang. It was time to fight the filly and the Lord of Darkness, Dracula.

"Oh... darling I can't look!" Rarity exclaimed aloud as Sweetie Belle and Dracula were placed into view. All of the ponies(Except Pinkie and Rainbow Dash) were nervously watching the portal, even Discord was worried about this. "Come on Scoots! You got this! Show us and that betraying filly who's boss!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Well well, you've arrived Scootaloo. I'll admit, watching you beat Apple Bloom and Death gave me a fright... but then Dracula assured me that Death losing is normal considering the fact that Death isn't like he used to be," The ponies heard Sweetie Belle say, her elegance having clearly gone off the charts as she is no wearing something you'd see at a fancy party.

Scootaloo and Alucard weren't going to stall, "Say what you need and let's get this over," Alucard said, unaware of Sweetie Belle's strengths. "Be careful Alucard, Sweetie Belle, being a unicorn, has pretty extensive control of magic so she'll probably have many more ranged or magic based attacks compared to Dracula," Scootaloo whispered to Alucard who nodded.

Sweetie Belle looked at the two and threw her glass, causing it to shatter on the floor, before standing up and teleporting onto the ground in front of Scootaloo and Alucard. Moments later, she surrounded her hoof in energy and did the giant slash!(To everyone except Dracula, Pinkie Pie, and Discord's surprise) That slash did a lot of damage, not really giving Scootaloo and Alucard a chance to dodge it.

Scootaloo attacked Sweetie Belle from the side... only to not hit her? Just wonderful... Alucard attacked her head and then she reacts to being hit.

So we can only attack her at the head, can we? Scootaloo asked herself before watching Sweetie Belle teleport to another location to use Hellfire. Scootaloo counterattacked by striking Sweetie Belle's head and it actually did damage. Good to know, Scootaloo thought.

Scootaloo threw a giant boomerang and it hit Sweetie Belle twice, once forward and backwards, before Scootaloo was hit by Alucard being thrown towards her, "Pathetic, sure you both landed some lucky hits but... is this it? Where was the skill and agility that you had during previous fights?" Sweetie Belle said with a condescending tone.

And Scootaloo wasn't having it, despite her weakened state due to being hit, she stood up and used her dash attack, hitting Sweetie Belle for a decent chunk of damage! Alucard got up and saw how winded Scootaloo was from taking damage and using her dash attack.

Alucard tossed a cup of pudding from all the way back in Memory Museum, which Scootaloo ate and recovered from the pain. Alucard hit Sweetie Belle with an axe while Sweetie Belle was jumping, when she returned to the ground, she turned into lots of bats and dashed towards Scootaloo who hadn't seen it coming and got hit.

Scootaloo waited for Sweetie Belle to reform before attacking her again, seemingly finishing this phase... though Alucard knew the fight wasn't over. Dracula tossed his glass as Sweetie Belle gathered lots of energy probably for a phase 2 preperation. Dracula fought very similiarly to Sweetie Belle but the attacks native to him are far more difficult. Hellfire has him sending three columes of three fireballs all at the same time, the bat dash was taller(mainly due to him being taller), the Infernal Darkness(Which Sweetie Belle didn't use) shot in three waves versus the singluar two balls that Alucard and Scootaloo did.

And obviously he also only took damage if you hit his head. Just a lovely combonation.

Dracula shot fireballs as Scootaloo attacks the ones that will immediately hurt her while Alucard uses his shield to block them entirely. Dracula had just a large opening to be attacked which Scootaloo and Alucard made use of. The attacking didn't last long as they got burned by a fire pillar coming from below. Both Alucard's Sword familiar and Scootaloo's cloud familiar attacked Dracula.

"Celestia... Dracula is tough," Scootaloo said before watching Alucard turn into a bat and do a Wing Smash... and that made Scootaloo curious... what if...

In a matter of moments after thinking, Scootaloo felt her body shifting and soon, when the effects ended, she looked and saw she had(somehow) turned into a bat without the Soul of Bat relic! She used this new-found ability to Wing Smash Dracula who also ended up looking defeated.

Scootaloo returned to a pony form, her attire having changed upon transforming into a bat. She now effectively looks like a pony version of Alucard, "Woah, okay, this is fucking sick," She said. "No time to celebrate, Scootaloo, the fight isn't over," Alucard said.

Sweetie Belle slowly rose from her fallen state and she, along with Dracula, transformed into a giant monster!

Sweetie Belle's monsterous form looked like a cross of a Alicorn and a dragon, where as Dracula looked like a giant demon. Scootaloo and Alucard mutually agreed that they need to fight them seperately.

Scootaloo chose to fight Sweetie Belle while Alucard fights Dracula.

Sweetie Belle starts her fight off with using her magic to command the souls of the damned to home in and attack Scootaloo, luckily she dodges with ease. Scootaloo noticed something, despite this form's larger health, Scootaloo could attack it anywhere.

Sweetie Belle charged a large beam of magic before launching it at Scootaloo who did get hit. Scootaloo got out one of her Wall Salads("This monster doesn't have to be so strong" Scootaloo commented) before she counterattacked with Petra Spirit. The spirits attacked Sweetie Belle, angering the monsterous filly "ARGH! SUCH INSOLENCE FROM THE LIKES OF YOU SCOOTALOO!" She yelled as she started breathing fire like a dragon disrupting Alucard's dodging as well as making Scootaloo a little toasty.

Scootaloo looked at Alucard, and smirked... she wanted to use this Dual Crush. Scootaloo held her hoof out and Alucard grabbed it, both Alucard and Scootaloo held fives boomerangs each and threw them in random directions, some hitting Sweetie Belle and Dracula, and when the boomrangs returned to the respective users they both grew to massive size and got thrown at the respective opponent dealing 4 big blows.

The attack ended and the next thing was Dracula leaping and trying to crush Alucard and Scootaloo... only to be hit and die. This leaves just Sweetie Belle to defeat.

"THIS FIGHT IS NOT GOING TO BE YOUR'S TO WIN!! I AM SWEETIE BELLE! THE LADY OF DARKNESS!!" Sweetie screamed, getting hit by Alucard's sword dealing... minor damage? "Great, seems she raised her defense, well... this will take a good while," Alucard announced.

"No, let me handle Sweetie Belle... alone," Scootaloo said, getting in front of Sweetie Belle, Fatal Wind in her magic. Alucard nodded and got out of the way.

"Does Scoots have a death wish or something?!" Rainbow Dash said as Scootaloo used a Dash Attack to hurt Sweetie Belle. "Rainbow-"

"No! Twilight, look at her! She has to fight a monsterous version of her ex-friend... for what reason?!" Rainbow interrupted Twilight, "For once in this adventure, I don't think she can handle the threat alone and we've watched her fight literal demons!" she added.

Discord laughed, knowing full well that Scootaloo could handle it, even making an account on the new "Chaosnet" that had proped up, he expected that Chaosnet would be very helpful in the future for a certain filly to recrute heroes from across the omniverse. No telling if he'd be around for that day though, maybe Twilight would have to tell him in the afterlife if his expectation was right or not.

"At this point, I'd be more surprised if Scootaloo lost!" Pinkie Pie said with a million ideas for a party for Scootaloo's "defeated the dark lord and your ex-friend" party. All while the ponies watched as Scootaloo threw several boomerangs and attacked with Infernal Darkness, all dealing minor damage.

"Are we ignoring the fact that she's having to fight a monsterous version of my sister that's taking very small amounts of damage? Specifically the small amounts of damage part?" Rarity commented as Scootaloo launched a boomerang at Sweetie Belle.

"Couldn't Scootaloo resolve this with peace instead of fighting?" Fluttershy asked as Sweetie Belle shot a conjoined ball of armors at Scootaloo, who dodged it by then had to defeat the armors that fell out of the ball.

The tricks Sweetie Belle has were getting on Scootaloo's nerves. Scootaloo considered just destroying Sweetie Belle... but she held back. Scootaloo is not like Sweetie Belle and Dracula.

Scootaloo looked Sweetie Belle in the eyes... those eyes, once a happy emerald, now a demonic red... that coat, what a sweet ivory, now a scaly and sickly green, her mane is all that's even Sweetie Belle anymore... Scootaloo had to land a finishing blow, she gripped her Rapier... no... it isn't just her Rapier, it's Fatal Wind, a rapier that chose her as its wielder... hard, and applied plenty of holy magic onto it as she Dash Attacked... finishing Sweetie Belle off... a single tear drops from Scootaloo's eye as Sweetie Belle went back to looking like her old filly self...

Like what happened with Apple Bloom, the device Scootaloo picked up glowed and soon... Sweetie Belle was gone.

Area: Outside Castlevania
Year: 1798

Scootaloo and Alucard watched as the castle cumbled, "Scootaloo, are you okay after all that?" Alucard asked as Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah, I just... need some time to think... we... didn't have a choice anyways," the filly replied, "Alucard... let's stay in touch somehow even after I go home," she added, which Alucard agreed too... and soon Scootaloo's body was glowing a brillent white...

"Guess... this is goodbye for now Alucard, if we see each other again... just call me Scoots," Scootaloo said as she vanished without a trace...

"Bye Scootaloo, I'll miss you."

Area: Chaotic Realm
Year: 1798

Sweetie Belle awoke from her defeat, staring at the shifting location she sat in, "So ya finally arrived, eh Sweetie?" the familiar voice of Apple Bloom rang out, and as Sweetie Belle turned to her... she saw a sight she didn't expect, "Is all of this... for me?" She asked staring at the still incomplete castle and demons, Apple Bloom nodded in response.

"Oooh Scootalooooo, be ready for my own assult soon... be ready...

FOR CASTLEMANIA!"

Author's Note

Arc 1 Complete: "An unfamiliar castle with an unfamiliar threat"

Bosses beaten: Doppelganger40, Sweetie Belle, Dracula.

Relic obtained: Oak Stake(Allows the holder to land Critial Hits)

And there we have it, Arc 1 has been finished. The first trip to Castlevania. The next arc is call "And unfamiliar castle with a familiar threat" and will be the introduction of the Equestrian version of Castlevania... Castlemania(genius I know)

Also, Lucar, cause I know you'll read this. I hope you don't have a preset backstory for Chaosnet because I just gave it one

The next arc's bosses are all going to be exclusive to Castlemania and so expect me to become really creative with them even if they seem difficult as Scootaloo will fight them all alone.
