Hounds of War
Fluttershy's cottage
After convincing her friend to give the Hellsing group a chance they all went into her house to have breakfast, since most of them didn't have breakfast. Once they were all inside there was a long awkward silence between the group. Both Applejack and Rainbow Dash look at Seras trying to figure her out, while Seras just stood there awkwardly smiling back at them.
"I think these guys are bad news. I mean that one in the red coat just keeps staring at us." Rainbow whispered to Applejack.
"I don't trust them neither but with out that Anderson guys we cant do that much," Applejack whispered back.
"We can at least try to kick them outta town," Rainbow said.
"Taint worth it Rainbow, we just gotta trust Fluttershy that these guys ain't that bad," Applejack said.
Rainbow than crossed her arms and sat down. Twilight looked around the room and notice something different in Fluttershy's cottage.
"Hey Fluttershy what happened to all your animals friends?" she whispered,
"Oh there just hiding in my room." Fluttershy whispered back,
"Oh ok………what?" Twilight said looking confused as ever,
"It the craziest thing Twilight when the man in the big red coat came in all the animals went straight into my room as if they were afraid of him. Even Angle is afraid of him and he doesn't get scared easy," Fluttershy said.
Twilight than turned her head toward Alucard and stared at him for a while and got an uneasy feeling from him. The room was once again filled with an awkward silence. However the silence was broken by Walter as he came in with some pancake and eggs.
"I hope that this breakfast will tend to everyone's hunger." he said as he placed the eggs in front of Integra and the pancakes for the rest. As Fluttershy was the first one to dig into the pancake so did the other five as well. With just a bite of the pancake they could not believe that this was delicious.
"Mmmmm…oh this pancake is to good for words alone." Rarity said as she did her best not to act un-lady like by shoveling it down. As they continue to eat, Fluttershy notice that Alucard and Seras did not have anything to eat.
"Aren't you going to have anything?" Fluttershy ask.
"Those two don't eat normal food like other people do." Integra stated just as soon as she finished her eggs. The main six turned to Integra not understanding by what she meant.
"What do you mean by that miss…?" Twilight said.
"Oh that right we haven't introduce ourselves." Walter said, "My name is Walter Dronez, butler to the Hellsing family." he said as he gave a slight bow. Rarity was amazed to see a proper gentleman before her. "The two you see over there are Seras Victoria and Alucard," Walter continued. Seras waved her hand when she was introduce while Alucard stood there with a blank expression on his face. "and this is Sir Integra Windgates Hellsing." Pinkie Pie than went straight to Alucard and looked at him for a while, study on how he looked.
"Boy this guy is really scary. But I don't mean scary like you finding a thing spider in your house, I mean scary as in scary like a giant spider in your house." Everyone in the room looked with a confused look. "Oh you know what would make him even more scary, if he had an evil mustache." Pinkie than pull out her fake mustache and proceed to slowly put it on Alucard face. But Twilight used her magic to pull Pinkie away before she could make him mad.
"Pay no attention to her." Twilight said, smiling nervously. "Anyway my name is Twilight Sparkle over here we have Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, you already met Fluttershy and the one you should not pay attention to is Pinkie Pie."
After the introduction were made they mane six finished their breakfast and were able to ask them question that they meant to do before Pinkie did her 'usual stunts'.
"So what is it that you did in your world before you came here?" Rarity ask. Integra than pulled out a cigar and Walter lit it when she put it in her mouth.
"We hunt dark creatures of the night, which is mostly vampire related." Integra than inhale a little and let out a small smoke.
"Vampires?" Twilight said while waving the smoke away from her face.
"Yes, they are a type of monsters who feed on human blood in order to survive," Integra said.
"I've heard of vampire bats but they mostly eat small amounts of blood from animals. I've read about them in my books." Twilight said
"So why are you attacking creatures who's nature is to feed on other to survive?" Fluttershy ask.
"Unlike your bats these vampire can destroy an entire village. Also when they suck blood from a de-flower person they become ghouls, who will eat other humans and become ghouls as well until there is no human left on the planet." Integra continued while holding her cigar between her fingers.
"So let me get this straight, in order to survive y'all have to kill everyone of these 'vampires' " Applejack said
"We only hunt those that feed on humans to much rather than on ones that feed only when they need to feed." Walter said
"Wait, wait, wait what dose de-flower mean?" Rainbow Dash said. The Hellsing group turned there heads to her wondering if she was serious. But they notice that the other ponies was wondering what it meant as well. "Well what does it mean?" Rainbow Dash ask again.
Walter was figuring out the best way to tell them about the birds and bees when they all heard screams coming from the town. They all turned toward the window and saw smoke rising from the town.
"Maybe this the darkness that the Princess saw coming," Twilight said.
"Wait what do you mean by darkness?" Seras ask, but the main six ran out before they could answer.
"What should we do now Sir Integra?" Seras ask. After letting out another puff of smoke Integra put out the cigar and got up from the chair.
"We should at least see what this is all about," Integra said.
"I hope that there will be a better changeling in this world that those weakling that I've fought in the past," Alucard said as he drew a devilish smile across his face
Ponyvile
As the main six got to town they saw ponies running from everywhere screaming and hollering. Twilight tried to find out what was causing the attack from the feeling ponies when she finally used her magic to stop one in her track.
"What going on who's attacking us?" Twilight ask.
"The diamond dogs are attacking there stealing anything of value and burning our homes run!" the young mare shouted. Twilight than let her go so that she could run away to safety.
"Why are Diamond Dogs attacking towns out of nowhere its so unlike them," Twilight ask.
"I think we should be a little bit more concerned on now instead of how" Rainbow Dash said.
"Wait if there are Diamond Dogs here, than that mean…THERE GOING AFTER MY SHOP!?!" Rarity scream than ran as fast as she could toward her shop. The other than followed her to make sure she doesn't get hurt.
Carrousel Boutique
As Rarity reach her shop she saw some Diamond Dogs tearing up her cloth that had jewels on them. Rarity started to get angry seeing her finest dresses that took hours of planing and making ruined in seconds.
"I'LL DESTROY YOU ALL!" she yell so loud that you could here it from Canterlot. The dogs at her shop than turned their attention to her. Than three familiar dogs came out that Rarity was able to recognize.
" *gasp* I recognized you, your those nasty dogs who kidnapped me and forced me to do all your dirty work, you mangy dogs." she said. The one in red vest with a collar around his neck walk toward her.
"Yes, it us and because of you we lost all the gems, that we dig so hard to find." he said angrily.
"Well it not my fault that you dog can't keep hold of your gems." Rarity said while trying to ignore his bad breath.
"But it is your fault! Because of you, Chieftain had the three of us demoted to digging duty." he yelled
"Wait, but I thought you were the leaders of the dogs." Rarity said.
"We only a small tribe that goes outside of homeland to find other gems, little pony." The big one of the three said.
"Than why don't you go back to whatever hole you came out of and stay there before I rip off the fur you wear." Rarity threaten them. All three dogs took a step back as they were almost intimated by her.
"Wait why we scared of her?" The red vest dog said.
"Because she freighting." the smallest one said.
The middle dog than face paw himself "We got her outnumbered so let take her to caves and have her dig up more gems." he said, After realizing that she was out number Rarity took a few step back as the dog soldier started to surround her pointing their stone speared at her. Than a stream of purple beams came out of now where zapping the weapons out of the dogs hands. Rarity turned to see that Twilight used her magic to save her and that the others was there to help.
"Oh I so glad to see you girls." Rarity said as she moved toward them so that they could fight together.
"Hey its no big deal Rarity, you probably would have done the same for us right?" Twilight said, There a slight pause from Rarity.
"In any case I say that we teach the dogs a new lesion in dog obedience." Rainbow Dash said as she pounded her hooves together ready to rumble.
As the mane six got ready to fight there felt a large rumble beneath their feet. After another rumble the three Diamond Dog huddle together in fear. Soon came forth a Diamond Dog came out that was not like the other dog the mane six haven't seen before. He was about 10ft tall with spike red armor that cover his cheats, upper legs and shoulders. He wore a helmet, that covered his eyes, that had three spike coming out at the top. On his back he carried a object that was twice as large as him. His brown fur was scruffy and his face resemble that of a Bulldog. He also had one end of a bone sticking out of the side of his mouth that he chewed on. Although he had small legs his arms were as massive as a tree's trunk.
After emerging from the shop he look around to see what as going on. The three dogs than proceed to bow right in front of him "All hail Chieftain Bone-saw leader of the Diamond Dog," the one in the red vest shouted.
"Hail Chief Bone-saw!" the other two replied
"Hail to the mighty Chieftain who is without doubt the strongest being in all of Equestria," He continued.
"Hail Chief Bone-saw!" the other said again.
"Hail to the mighty who destroy everything in his path and-" before he could continue with his parsing Chief Bone-saw grab him by the throat and pull him up to his face.
"Dat enough out of you." he said with a heavy Irish accent. He than threw him at the other two and walk forward toward the ponies. "So d'ese are the ponies that don' took all me gems?" he ask while towering over the group.
"Y-y-yes Chieftain," They said while huddling in fear. Chief Bone-saw that lean toward Rarity and took a couple of sniff from her. Rarity did her best not to kick him the nose, being afraid that he'll rip her in two if she does.
"Right, now you six ponies will be my new slave so you can dig up more gems in my cave hole." Chief Bone-saw said while leaning back up.
"Not going to happen you mutt!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
"Rainbow don't!" Twilight said.
But it was to late Rainbow Dash flew up in the sky and dive right toward Chief Bone-saw hoping to use here rainbow explosion move on him. The other five ponies duck for cover knowing that this won't end well. When Rainbow Dash got closer the Chief did nothing but stood their.
KABOOM
With a violent explosion a mushroom cloud of rainbow color followed. Rainbow Dash than landed in front of the five crouching ponies in a proud pose.
"Ha, guess that mutt was all bark and no bite." Rainbow said brushing of some dust.
"Uh Rainbow…" Applejack pointed Rainbow Dash toward the dust cloud. As the dust settle the ponies saw that Rainbow move didn't leave a scratch on him. Chief Bone-saw looked at himself to see if he was damage or not than turned toward Rainbow and started to laugh.
"Oi, was that supposed to hurt me? I've felt more pain than a hive full of hornet stinging me, at the same time, when I was just a pup." he said continue his mocking laugh. Rainbow Dash gulped in horror seeing how one her vicious attacks didn't leave him with a scratch on him. Chief Bone-saw than grabbed Rainbow’s throat and begun squeezing the life out of her.
"Rainbow!" her friends shouted, Twilight than used her magic to blast Bone-saw, but every blast to him was like a rain drop falling on him. All her friend could do is watch in horror as Rainbow’s eye started to roll up and her struggling, to get free, became slower and slower. Rainbow began to see her life flash before her eyes thinking that she was really going to die and that these dogs will probably either kill or put them into slavery.
Soon tears started to run down her eyes and she turned towards her friends and with the last amount of strength she muttered “Run…” with that Rainbow’s eyes finally shut.
Then a bullet came passing from behind the five hitting Chief Bone-saw on the fore head of the helmet. The impact than knock him off his feet releasing Rainbow from his death grip. Fluttershy then flew over to Rainbow grabbed her and brought her over to the others. As the five ponies look at her hoping that she was alive Rainbow started to cough for air and took a few breaths. With that the five went into a group hug being thankful that she was alive.
“What happen?” Rainbow said.
“You were about to pass out when a loud bang came from behind us and took care of the brute,” Rarity said,
“ALRIGHT WHO DON’ SHOOT ME IN DA HEAD?!” Chief Bone-saw yelled as he got up from the ground showing that there was a large dent in his helmet. The main six gasp in horror seeing how that shoot did nothing.
“Well, well, well, that armor you’re wearing is a lot tougher than I thought it was.” The main six turned around to see Alucard with a silver pistol in his one hand, behind him was the other members of Hellsing. Walter than walk up to Rainbow.
“Are you alright Miss Dash?” he said kneeling next to her.
“Yeah I guess,” Rainbow said.
“See I told you that they were not evil,” Fluttershy said. Rainbow felt a little embarrassed as she suggested that they should get out of town.
“I guess I owe him an apology, about saying he should getting out of town.” Rainbow said while rubbing her hoof on the back of her head.
“I think we all owe him an apology on account we ya’ll thought he was monster.” Applejack said.
“Oh I wouldn’t say that.” said Walter. The main six turned to him wondering what he was talking about.
“So you’re the get that don' shoot me, eh?!” Chief Bone-saw yelled at him.
“Yes I did, what you are going to do about it?” Alucard said as he drew a smirk across his face, With that Chief Bone-saw started to tremble in anger as he grabbed the large object on his back. The other diamond dog than ran for cover and peek over their hiding spots to see what will happened.
“He made the chief mad, that poor soul will not survive his violent rage,” Said the smallest of the trio.
“The last time this happened was when a dragon took his personal gems. Now that dragon skin decorates his throne room,” The largest said,
Chief Bone-saw than drew a large sword that was jagged blade that was tied onto some bones that made the hilt. “You see this! It will be the last thing that you ever see!” Chief Bone-saw yelled into Alucard face. Alucard only continue to smirk which started to tick the chief off. Chief Bone-saw than jumped high into the air, having both hands on his weapon. When he landed a large explosion of dust flew from the spot almost blinding everyone who was watching. As the dust settled a large crater could be seen where the sword landed but nothing was there.
“Is that the best you could do?” Alucard said appearing behind him. Chief Bone-saw that flung his sword sideways, but Alucard merely jump dodging the sword entirely. With every swing that the chief made Alucard continue to dodge them and started snickering at the dog failed attempt.
“Wow he fast, faster than I am at an all cake buffet,” Pinkie said.
“How is this possible? Judging Alucard size he shouldn’t be able to move that fast.” Twilight said trying to keep up with his movements.
"That because he not like any normal human." Integra said walking next to Twilight.
"What do you mean?" Twilight said.
"There are some reason that Father Anderson doesn't like use. One of them is the method we use to get rid of the vampires,"Integra said.
"Methods?" Rarity ask. Before Integra could respond they notice that Chief Bone-saw collapse on the ground. The mane six eye filled with happiness thinking that Alucard had beaten him. But their hope was shot down when they realized that he just collapse due to lack of air.
"*pant* Had…*pant*…enough?" Chief Bone-saw said gasping for air.
"Pathetic, and I thought you would be a challenge. In the end your nothing but a waste of flesh. Not even worthy of being a piece of shit." Alucard said with a disappointment look on his face. With those words Chief Bone-saw quickly grab some dirt from under him and threw it at Alucard's face. Taking the opportunity Chief Bone-saw raise his large sword and slashed downward into Alucard's skull. He than proceed to cutting his way through the skull to the lower chest ripping through the flesh. Once he reach the waist blood started to gush out of Alucard wound staining everything, even Chief Bone-saw. He than pulled his sword from Alucard chest and knock his body to the ground.
"WAAAAAAAAAAGH" Chief Bone-saw scream as he raised his sword above him, having one foot over Alucards corpse.
The mane six stood there in horror as they saw that this monster could not be stop. "That not fair, that mutt cheated," Rainbow said.
"I don't think he cares, all he cares about his getting his way," Applejack said.
"What are we going to do?" Pinkie said while shaking uncontrollably.
"Relax everyone there no need to panic." Integra said with calmness on her face.
"How can you be so calm one of your friend got killed," Twilight said. Integra pulled a cigar from her coat pocket and light it.
"As I was saying before, the method we use to kill vampires is to use another vampire himself."
"Well I-wait what?" Twilight said,
"Most vampire would be killed by such a attack that the mutt gave him but not Alucard," Integra said. Twilight wondered what she meant by it. Than she notice that all the blood, that came from Alucard's body started to move toads him. It started to raise up from the ground and flowed into the wound that he got from the sword. Chief Bone-saw not noticing this started walking towards the ponies and raise his sword. Another shot was fired breaking the swords into pieces before Chief Bone-saw could cut the ponies. Chief Bone-saw turned around and he open his mouth so wide that the bone he had in his mouth fell out. Alucard was standing with a black pistol smoking at the end of the barrel. All the dogs that were watching gasp as they saw that the man who their chief cut in half was standing there with not a scratch on him. The mane six was just as in shock as the rest of the diamond dogs.
"How…how did he do that?" Rarity said.
"Its just as Integra said, we use vampires to kill vampires," Walter said.
"Than that would mean that…" Fluttershy said.
"Yes, Alucard is a vampire." Integra said while letting out a puff of smoke.
Chief Bone-saw could only stand there in shock seeing how he almost cut him into two pieces. Seeing that his sword was rendered useless he threw it one the ground and raise the two large fist. "Fine if you don't want me ta kill ya with me sword den I have ta kill ya with me bare hands." he said charging towards Alucard.
Alucard than drew his black pistol and fired two shots, the bullets than pierced his knee caps separating his legs from the thighs. Chief Bone-saw let out a loud howl of pain as grabbed his thighs trying to keep the blood from rushing out. Bone-saw turned his head toward Alucard seeing him with a smirk that only made him angrier. He than place his paw on the ground and launch himself toward Alucard with one of his fist flying toward him. But Alucard put his guns away and raised one hand to grabbed it, stopping it from moving any more. Chief Bone-saw was in shock that his tiny hand stopped his large paws, he than flung his other fist at him, but that was caught as well. Despite being a bit larger than Alucard, Bone-saw could not seem to get his arms free from Alucard own death grip. Chief Bone-saw with little choice tried to bite him with his yellow fangs. Before he could, Alucard twisted his arms till the bones ripped through the flesh spilling blood everywhere. Bone-saw let out an even louder howl of pain as Alucard dropped him and he rolled around in his own blood. Alucard than grabbed him by the head and look at him for a while.
"Hmm…I wonder," Alucard said.
"Wha…what do you wonder?" Bone-saw said weeping in pain.
"I wonder how a dogs blood would taste like." Alucard said while smiling revealing his white fangs.
"No, no please anything but…AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Chief Bone-saw scream as Alucard bite down on his throat and started sucking the blood from his body. After a minute he let go of him and threw it to where the other diamond dogs where hiding. The three dogs look at the once great chief reduced to a broken corpse.
With that the one in the red vest shouted "EVERY DOG FOR HIMSELF!!!" he than ran for the hills along with the other dogs that were attacking the town.
The main six were all in a deep shock with their mouths hanged wide open
"Is..is it over?" Fluttershy said hiding her eyes behind her hooves.
"Um…do yourself a favor Fluttershy and don't open your eyes," Rainbow said.
"But why?" Fluttershy ask.
"Just don't!" Rainbow shouted.
"Well, it seems everything turned out well. How did it taste Alucard?" Walter said
"It taste a little bit sweeter than the blood that I have tasted in the past to be honest." Alucard said with a smirk.
"Yo…you mean he did that kind of stuff to others before?" Twilight said still shaking from seeing what happened.
"Oh this? This is just everyday snack for him. You should see what he does when he really eats." Walter said. With those word Rarity face turned a little green and fainted from the idea.
Applejack leaned over to Fluttershy and whispered, "Are you sure it was a good idea to let this…thing live?"
"Well he did save Rainbow Dash's live and almost all our live. We can at least give him our thanks." Fluttershy said still covering her eyes.
"I hope you're right. I just hope that he doesn't decide that were not next on his menu," Applejack said.
"Oh there no need to worry," Walter said appearing between the two, "As long as Sir Integra is here you be perfectly safe from him."
"Now what in tarnation make you think that Integra woman is going to keep us safe from him?" Applejack said.
"Because Integra is Alucard master and he is loyal to her as a dog is to his master," Walter said. Both ponies were curious as how can a normal woman as Integra could keep control over such a monster as Alucard.
Alucard than turned his head toward a tree and look at it for a while.
"Is there something the matter master?" Seras said.
"Its nothing I thought there was something watching us," Alucard said.
Little did they know was hiding in the tree was a changeling drone that was sent to go receive him. 'I must report this to the Queen, she has to know what going on.' he thought to himself as he flew away toward the direction of the hive.
Changelings Hive Palace
Queen Chrysalis walk back and forth in her throne room waiting for her drone to return with the creature she had summoned.
"What taking that fool so long? He should have been here by now," Chrysalis said.
"Be patience your majesty, he probably having a hard time having the demon to come here," the adviser said. Than a loud noise came from the door of the room as both Chrysalis and her adverse turn to see that the drone had return.
"Your…your majesty." he said while catching his breath.
"Ah, you returned. Where the demon?" Chrysalis said while looking around for him.
"He still in a town known as Ponyvile," the drone said.
Chrysalis than turned to him and grabbed him using her magic. "Unless he already destroying the ponies there better be a good explanation to why you haven't brought him here?" She said while holding him up in the air.
"Because he already has another master, and he is to loyal to betray her." the drone said hopping that the queen will not tear off his wings.
"Idiot!" She yelled while throwing him across the room "If you want something to be done right, you got to do it your self."
"That won't work you just be another appetizer for him if you go out their," said a voice.
"How dare you disbelieve your queen you maggot," Chrysalis yelled at her adviser.
"Um…I didn't say anything you majesty." he said looking around the room.
"That because I said it." The queen turned towards her throne seeing a boy with blue short and a yellow shirt on, with a red bandana on one of the sleeves, with a black tie. He also had blonde hair with dark pair of cat ears. The boy smirked an nodded his head "Guten tag"
