Darkness comes to Equestria
Changeling's Hive
After the Changelings were blown away by Shinning Armor and Cadence love power, they retreated to their hive palace. Located at the bottom of mountain was a greenish black hive webbing that covered the land around it, including the mountain's base. At the highest peek of the hive there was a loud scream that had the entire hive shake.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! HOW COULD HAVE THOSE PATHETIC FOOLS DEFEATED US!?!" shouted Queen Chrysalis in her throne room. One of her Changelings who was hiding, in fear from her rage, slowly moved out to try and calm their queen.
"It not you fault your Majesty. It could have happen to anyone. In fact-"
"SILENCE!!!!" The queen yelled with such a thunderous roar. "I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY ESQUESES FROM SUCH A LOWLY DRONE SUCH AS YOU!! NOW GET OUT ALL OF YOU!!!" Chrysalis shouted. All of here subject ran out of the room leaving her to be alone with her frustration. Then she heard a footsteps coming she turned around to see who it was. It was one of her royal advisers who, unlike most of the changelings, who has horns on their fore head this changeling didn't have one. Wearing a small navy blue cape with a hood covering his face.
"What the matter my queen? Did you not succeed in your plan to take over Equestria?" He spoke in a sly voice. He then felt a shot pain to his throat as Queen Chrysalis was using her magic to choke the life out of him.
"Isn't obvious you blind fool! We failed all because of that snotty princess and her wimp of a husband." Chrysalis said while bringing him closer to her.
"Forgive me your majesty *gack*It wasn't…. my intention to…*hak*…offend you. So pleas…*ack*… let me go." The adviser said while trying to get some air.
Feeling disgusted with her adviser, she threw him against the wall. After recovering his breath he look at Queen Chrysalis in worried look. Still fuming with rage the queen the went to the chamber window to look upon her subjects with a sorrow look on her face.
"It couldn't be help your majesty. Its not like were the most dangerous creatures in the world," he said With those word the queen came to a realization and her anger slowly turned into confidence.
"Of course, that what I should." Chrysalis said to her self following with a evil chuckle. The adviser looked at her with a confused look wondering what she was talking about.
"Uh… your majesty? What do you mean?" he asked.
"What you said my dear adviser. That we are not the most dangerous creature in the world. If we are not, than I shall summon a even greater threat that even a full grown dragon will be crying to his mommy." She said with a wicked smile on her face. While still dazed by his torment, the adviser understood what she had meant and before he could object to it, the queen left the throne room.
Within the hive library, Queen Chrysalis was looking for a book that will help her use the spell the she had mention before. Her adviser quickly caught up to her and grabbed on to her back legs.
"Please your majesty don't do this! The last queen forbids this kind of magic because not only is it dangerous to us, but it requires a lot of magical powers." The adviser said while holding her back legs. She kick him to the side ignoring his waring to continue searching for the book.
"Fool, I still have some of Shining Armor love for Cadence within me. If it is powerful enough to defeat Celestia than it should be powerful enough to bring forth this demon that I long for." She said while searching for the book that will meat her needs,until a large black book with some red stain on the cover caught her attention. When Chrysalis pick up the book her face became filled with joy.
"I'VE GOT IT!!" she shouted with a triumphant roar, "With this those happy go ponies will be weeping in sorrow and pain that their cry's will be heard even a thousands years from now." Chrysalis commanded her guards to go get thing prepare for the summoning.
After hours of preparation for the ritual, things were all coming together. When Chrysalis entered the room, she made sure that everything was prepared. She look in the book that stated the pattern the summoning circle had to be in, what kind of material it had to be drawn with, and the right amount of blood that they needed. As she saw everything was coming together she couldn't help but laugh like a school girl.
"Oh, I am going to enjoy this more than I should. Once we show those pathetic ponies the force of destruction we have, they will bow to every generation of queen changelings to come," Chrysalis said
With everything set into place and the moon full Chrysalis began the ritual. As she was mustering all the magic she had left over from Shinning Armor love, as she stand center in circle her power was growing so fast that it seemed it might explode any minute. Instead a beam shot straight into the sky and tear open a hole. With that the queen collapse on the ground caching her breath.
"I did it. Once the creature of fear come through that portal in the sky I place a mind control spell so that it wont kill us." Chrysalis said followed by an uncontrollable laughter, until she notice something.
When she look up in the sky she noticed that the portal was not above their hive, but instead more located toward Equestria land. At first she was confused because the spell should have put the portal above there location not in another part of the world. She looked in the book to see what they have done wrong, she than notice that one section of the circle, that one of the drones drew, did not match the specific drawing of it. She looked at the drone changeling that was responsible for drawing the circle.
"You idiot! I thought I told you to follow the exact design of the circle. Magic such as this require perfect accuracy on what it look like!" She yelled while walking up to him.
"B-b-but your majesty, if it did manage to come through here than we might have been destroyed instead of the ponies," the drone said.
"FOOL!!! I TOLD YOU THAT I WOULD HAVE CAST A MIND CONTROL SPELL OVER HIM JUST LIKE I DID WITH SHINNING ARMOR!!" Chrysails said.
"Your majesty the portal its closing." The adviser said before Chrysalis blew up the drone into oblivion. Chrysalis immediately ran toward the window to see if it was true and what she saw was accurate.
"But it suppose to close when the demon come through. Did you see anything come through it?" she asked her adviser.
"No your majesty, I only saw a small red star come through it and nothing more," the adviser said
She look at the direction of Equestria staring it for a while until she turned to the drone that messed up the circle.
"You!" she pointed at with her hoof "You will go to Equestria find the thing that came through the portal and bring it here, so that I can cast my mind control spell on it."
"B-b-but y-y-your highness, why me?" the drone said.
"Because you mess up the circle that was suppose to bring him here. Now get out their or I'll give such horror that even Celestia moon banishment will seem like a walk in the park!" Chrysalis yelled as her horn started to glow green. With that the drone speed out the window and into the direction of Equestria where the demon had fallen.
England
Deep within a mansion's dungeon there were two men talking to each other. One of the men was wearing a black vest over a dress shit and was wearing a monocle on his left eye. He was also considered to be in his late 60s as his face was considered skinny and almost bony. Sitting across from him was a man in a large red trench coat, that he wore over his suit with a red bow tie. He wore a pair of orange circle glasses which reflected what little light there was in the room. Next to the chair that he sat in was a bottle of whine and a large hat that matched the color of his coat. Although his face was in the shadow of the room his face look no younger than a 20 year old.
"Do you think that they will stay down this time Alucard?" the old man ask him with his English accent.
"I doubt it, as long as even one still exists in this world they will just keep coming up from the filth of the earth just like a cockroach." Alucard said in a both soothing and menacing voice. "But, that will just make it more fun for me." The old man look at him for a few second than a smirked drew across his face.
"That just like you Alucard, enjoying the battle every step of the way. Doesn't matter who they are, be it innocent or guilty you'll kill them just in order to get you way. However I do hope that they stay down this time, cause if they do I might be able to die more peacefully."
"Age can be a problem for some humans, but you look at it as a gift don't you Walter," Alucard said.
"That easy for you to say considering your circumstances." Walter said while having a little doubt on his face.
As Alucard was about to pour himself a glass from the whine bottle he heard foot steps coming close to the room as the door swung open to reveal two women. One of the woman was wearing a dark green suit with a red tie, her blue eye were covered by clear spec glasses, she had a tannish skin with golden hair. The other wore a yellow uniform with sleeves rolled up on her arm, her blonde hair was tied in a short pony tail. She was carrying two large guns one as big as her arm the other almost looking like a thin cannon, that was five times bigger than her.
"Is it time my master?" Alucard said as he got of from his chair.
"Yes it is Alucard, will be sending you on the plane to take back the HMS Eagle. You have your order search and destroy and kill everyone on that vessel." said the suited woman with confidence in her voice.
"Um… excuse me but isn't there anyone on that vessel that can be save?" ask the blonde girl with a bit shyness in her voice,
"Don't be ridiculous Seras, did you forget who we are dealing with," said the women in the suit. Seras coming into realization on how stupid that question was hanged her head in shame.
"Sorry for asking that Miss Integra," said Seras.
"Your an idiot police girl," Alucard said. Seras head came up and looked a little irritated with Alucard. Although she wanted to teach him a lesson for saying such things, she knew better than dealing with him.
"Master how many time do I have to say that my name is Seras Victoria." She said while struggling to not going into a fit of rage.
"Police girl is what you shall be called," Alucard said. Seras admitted defeat while hanging her head in shame again.
"Is everything ready for Alucard to depart Walter?" Integra said.
"Of course ma'am, I made sure that he has enough ammunition to slay anything that get in he way." Walter said as he pulled up a large briefcase and opened to reveal a large amount of silver/black hand cannon clips. Alucard look at the case with a wicked smile, chuckling to himself for the excitement that is about to come.
As Alucard to take the briefcase a giant hole appear at the end of the room. Everyone turned their head to see the hole as it began to suck everything that is in the room. Seras immediately grabbing onto the door frame grabbed Integra arm.
"I've got you Sir Integra!?!" she yelled as she hold on to her like her life dependent on it. As for Alucard and Walter they both grabbed onto the other side of the door frame.
"What the devil is this!!" Integra shouted.
"Your guess is a good a mine Sir Integra." Walter shouted. As the 4 continued to hold onto the door frame, the wood came loose and before everyone realized it they were being suck into the whole to who knows would take them.
Everfree Forest
Integra slowly woke to sound of crickets chirping. As she was gathering up her senses she notice that she was in a forest of some kind with out her companions. She looked all around the area she was in until she decided to call out for them.
"ALUCARD!? WALTER!? SERAS!?" she shouted into the sky. After a few seconds she heard a noise she was familiar with.
"umm…someone…anyone…please get me down from here," said the voice. Integra recognized the scared timid voice belonging to Seras. As Integra made her way though the bushes she saw that Seras, with a whimpering face, was stuck on tall tree.
"Seras, what are you doing up in that tree?" asked Integra.
"I don't know I was like this when I woke up." she said.
"Cant you get yourself down from there?" Integra asked with a disappointed look on her face.
"I would but my leg is stuck between some of the tree branch." Seras said while struggling to get her leg out. Soon they heard some rustle in the bushes, Integra turned her head to see that it was Walter
"Oh my, how on earth did you get up there Miss Victoria?" Walter asked.
"Never mind the questions just get me down from here!?!" she said with an annoyed look on her face.
"Alright, Alright no need to cause such a fuss." Walter said as he flinch his hand toward the tree that Seras was stuck in. With that the branch that had Seras stuck in the tree was cut clean through and caused her to fall straight into the ground.
"You always have to bring your tools don't you Walter." Integra said with a smirk on her face.
"Of course I do ma'am, if I didn't I wouldn't be able to perform task like that." Walter respond with a smirk on his face as well.
As Seras was getting her self together she smelled like something died in a garbage yard. "Oh God, what is that horrible stench?" Seras said while trying not to gag. Both Walter and Integra turned to were the stench was coming from and saw a pack of wolf that were not like ordinary wolf they had known. These wolf were made out of twigs and barks of wood.
"Well…can't say I was expecting that short of creature to come out." Walter said with a surprise look on his face
"Please sir let me take care of them." Seras said as she ready herself for battle by pulling her large gun and aim towards the wood wolves. As soon as they saw the gun they back of for a second and than began to charge at Seras. She than began to shot at the beast with great precision as the first bullet went through one of the wolves shoulder, the second bullet went through another wolf forehead. She continued firing at the wolves until they would run away or die. Pieces of wood flew everywhere as each bullet hit their target and the wolves yelp in pain. As Seras was about to change clips she notice that there were nothing left of the wolves but pieces of twigs and bark all laid before her.
"What odd creature they are." Interga said as she pulled out a cigar from her coat pocket.
"Indeed, although I don't think that they send them after us." Walter said as he lit her cigar with a lighter. While Seras was unloading her empty clip from her gun she notice a bright green glow coming from the twigs that came from the wolves. The twigs than form back into the wooden wolves as whole.
"Um…Sir Integra?" Seras said with a bit of panicking in her voice.
"These damn thing don't give up do they?" Integra said after exhaling some smoke from her cigar.
As Seras was about to unload another barrage of bullet onto the wolf, Alucard came from nowhere and was in front of her. "Master!" Seras said with a smile on here face.
"Where have you've been Alucard?" Integra asked with a smirk on her face.
"I'm sorry I'm late my master, I have been out on a enthusiastic walk," Alucard said. Everyone than look at him with a blank expression on their face. "Anyway how bout I deal with these creatures." Alucard said as he turned toward the wooden wolves. As the wolves were charging right at him, Alucard took of his glasses to stare at them with his fiery red eyes. The wolves immediately stop in their tracks a went into submission to his will.
"Wow, I didn't think that you could do that Master," Seras said.
"Of course we can police girl. Its in our nature to tame the most savage best with our stare. Although even I was a bit concerned that it will not work on these creatures."
"Well, judging by these creature we can say that we are not in England anymore. I'll even doubt that we can contact the Wild Geese to come pick us up." Integra said while leaning against a tree still smoking the cigar.
"I don't think so either, cause I'd try contacting them as soon as I woke up," Walter stated.
"So what the plan?" Seras asked
"I suggest that we try and look for someone home and see if we can use their communication to contact the other and let them know where we are," Integra said.
"On my walk I notice some lights in a certain direction maybe we'll find someone who is will to help us." Alucard said as he put his glasses on.
"Very well lead the way Alucard," Integra ordered him to do so and he complied. As the four went of into the forest the wooden wolves went back into the forest still afraid of Alucard's death stare.
Canterlot Palace
Princess Celestia was in her room sleeping on her bed. When she open her eyes she was in the middle Ponyvile. Everything seemed peaceful and everyone was going about their daily business. Until the moon suddenly rose and became red, at that moment every one started screaming as an unknown force was killing them. Left and right ponies where either getting the bodies stab by spear like weapons or eaten by figures that Celestia couldn't see. She tried to use her magic to stop them but nothing came out of her horn. Soon the creature turned towards her and started to go after her. Celestia tried to use her wing to fly away but her wing were suddenly cut off from her. Bleeding uncontrollably she was forced to hide behind a stack of hay next to a building. She tried to use her magic to close the wound on her but still no magic came out. She than closed her eyes as she heard all the ponies, from young to old, death scream and the sound of ripping flesh. Celestia couldn't help herself but cry uncontrollably as she was helpless to stop this. Than all of a sudden the noises stop, Celestia came out of hiding to see what had happen. When she did all she saw was chewed up pony corpse laying all around her. The blood was running like a stream of water down the pathways. Celestia began to cry again when she notice that all the figure that were killing the ponies were on the roof of every building around her. Than she saw that their eyes had a red iris in them that almost burned like a fire. They than bear their fangs at her and proceed to jump on her eating her flesh. Celestia woke up panting and sweating like she was in a sauna. She than looked at her wing to see if they were connected or not, which they were. With a sigh of relief she than called one of the guards.
"You called, your majesty?" the guard asked.
"Yes I did, I would like to see my sister please," Celestia said. As the guard went out to go get Princess Luna, Celestia went over to her bookshelf and proceed to get a book that was on the top of the shelf. The book had white casing on it with golden trimming with a picture of sun rays in the center of the cover. Celestia than herd her sister come in with a concerned look on her face.
"Is everything alright Sister?" asked Luna.
"I'm afraid its not Luna. Please sit down while I tell you about it," she said
As Luna sat down Celestia told her about the dream she had and that it might be a vision that something terrible will come to Equestria and will likely be the death of them all. Luna only sat there with a horrified look on her face.
"Sister, isn't there anything that we could do to prevent this…massacre?" Luna asked
"The only way that could work is the spell from this book." Celestia said has she brought forth the white book.
"But sister, surly the Elements of Harmony can vanquish this evil." Luna said with a concerned look on her face.
"I'm afraid that this is out of the elements reach. Our only hope is to summon a warrior of the light who will destroy this evil and save not only the ponies but all innocents of this world," Celestia said.
"I hope you are right," Luna said.
Both sister were getting ready to prepare the summoning circle within the throne room of Canterlot Castle.
"Is every thing ready Luna?" Celestia asked as she was at one end of the circle.
"Yes sister,"Luna replied
"Than lest begin." Celestia started to gather up her magic, as did Luna. Both sister were struggling to open a portal that would bring their warrior of the light into their world. After a few minutes the portal was finally open and suddenly a explosion happened that knock both sisters down. As both sister shook of the dizziness from their summoning magic they saw a figure that was in the center of the circle, but they could not see it true form since the explosion blew out the lights in the room. Celestia knowing that it was almost time to raise the sun decided to raise it a bit early so that they could see if it worked or not. As she rose the sun she heard a voice from the center.
"Where in God's name am I?" said the man in the circle. With the light from the sun the two sister saw the thing that they have summoned through the portal. He wore a light gray trench coat over a navy blue coat, while wearing white gloves. Also he had a pair of wire frame glasses on him. The face had a scare on his lower left side of the face. As Celestia saw this one she introduce herself,
"My name is Princess Celestia. What is your name?" she said
The man turned towards her and respond
"The name is Father Alexander Anderson."
