Sweet Apple Acres

As the sun was setting, Ponyville was cleaned up and everything was put in ordered. Pinkie Pie than threw a 'Cleaning up Ponyville Party', she did it for two reasons, one was for obvious reasons and the other was to have the citizens be distracted while the mane six had Hellsing passed by unnoticed. Applejack lead the group to her farm where they could hide until Twilight could find a spell that could bring them back to their own world. Once they got there she brought them into the barn house and gave them some blankets. After she set the blankets on the ground she started to sweep up some loose hay.

"Sorry bout the mess in the barn y'all. Its been a while since we last clean it," said Applejack.

"Don't fret over it miss Applejack," said Walter.

"Well if y'all need anything just give me a holler," said Applejack.

As she left the barn, Applejack heard her little sister calling out to her name. She than walked to the house to see what Applebloom wanted. As she went in Applejack saw that the house was a mess, with stuff scattered on the floor. Than Applebloom came out of one closet with a saddle bag around her.

"Have you seen the little green lantern anywhere?" Applebloom ask as she went some where else throwing stuff around to find the lantern.

"Lantern? For what exactly?" Applejack asked.

"Tonight the night were sure that were going to get our cutie marks by watching stars all night long from our club house. Don't you remember we talked about it last week," Applebloom replied.

"Oh yeah right, its in the barn," said Applejack.

"Thanks," Applebloom said as she walked towards the door. Before she reached it, Applejack realized what she said and ran to block Apple bloom's path.

"Uh..But I don't think you should go Apple bloom," said Applejack.

"Don't worry we won't go into the Everfree Forest like when we had a sleepovers at Fluttershy's house." Applebloom said trying to push Applejack out of the way.

"Its not that, it just with the attack from the diamond dogs recently I don't know sleeping away from town is such a good idea." Applejack said while giving her little sister a small push back.

"Bu-bu-but Sweetie Belle and Scottaloo are going to be there," she said.

"If their parent are smart enough, they won't let them go out either," said Applejack.

"Awwwww......" Apple bloom said bring her head down in disappointment.

"But I can think of a fun activity that me and you can do," said Applejack.

"Yeah, what's that?" Apple bloom replied.

"Cleaning up this mess." Applejack said with a big smile on her face.

Meanwhile in the barn

"This place is certainly different than our own," said Walter.

"Its very peaceful here. Almost made wished that I lived here instead." Seras said as she put her riffles down.

"Too peaceful for my taste," said Alucard. "I hope that Twilight pony find a spell that can take us back as soon as possible."

"I agree, this a peaceful place and it would be relaxing if we stay here a while, but due to the circumstances we cannot." Integra said as she sat down next to a post. "Millennium will be sure to take advantage of this situation and attack an unexpected land that has no experience fighting vampires. But these ponies should be thankful that Millennium is not here to go to war with them. If they did the whole planet will be fill with nothing but corpses in lest in a year."

Changeling's hive/Millennium HQ

Three large blimps were set on the ground near the hive while most SS officers were setting some equipment. Some changelings drones were showing the troops maps of some areas of Equestria that they were familiar with. In a room of the red and black blimp, the Major was enjoying some espresso while he looked out a window watching the soldiers prepping for war. As he took a sip from his cup the doctor soon came in with some green stains on his lab coat now.

"How goes your new project doctor?" The major asked.

"Its going along quite well. Their anatomy is much more different than what I expected." He replied.

"Can you make them stronger now?" Chrysalis asked

"Patience, patience it may take a while before I could make the necessary surgery to make them stronger. If I did it now them they should be a mess," said the doctor. "In the mean time I would like to dissect some of the ponies to see what goes on inside." He said with an evil smirk.

"Excellent idea doctor, I can have my drones capture some for you," said Chrysalis

"Actually I would like it if some of my men go on this pony hunting trip. Just so they can get an idea of what their blood taste like," the Major said.

"Of course major, I'll have some drone guards to escort the as well," said Chrysalis

"Excellent, than allow me to introduce LT. Rip van Winkle also know as the huntress." The major said as Rip entered the room with her musket.

"You called for me, mien major?" Rip said as she saluted.

"Yes, I like for you to go on a little hunting trip for me. You are to go into the Equestrian lands and gather one of each type of pony there is." he said as he pressed a button that reviled a screen showing what ponies looked like.

"Awww they look so cute." Rip said to herself trying not to make a daaw face, but than snapped out of it. "Would you like them dead or alive?"

"What ever works for you is fine," said the doctor. "Oh and before I forget, it seems that entering this world has had an effect on most of our system. So we cannot track every movement that you or any soldiers until further notice."

"Than that mean you cannot fry our corpses as well right?" She said with a small smirk. "Don't worry if some of us do get killed than I'll be sure to set their bodies on fire."

As she left the room the doctor turned towards the major."She has changed so much since you met her." He said.

"I suppose that could be said about anyone who has ever crossed path with me." The major said as he took another sip.

"There's one thing that bothers me," said Chrysalis

"And what is that frauline?" The major asked.

"How did you know that the Hellsing got transported into another world in the first place? I mean, I know how you found it with that boy. But it's might have been impossible to find out that they went missing just before your war, so how?" She asked.

"Well I can tell you that..." he said as he raised his forefinger up to his lips. "it is a secret."

Outside of the blimp some SS soldiers were getting on a helicopter along with some changelings. As it stared to take of LT. Rip got on board with a grin on her face excited to see the cute ponies up close.

Sweet Apple Acres

Apple bloom was sleeping peacefully, little bummed out that she could not sleep with her fellow cutie mark crusaders. Until she heard a bang against her window that woke her up. At first she didn't pay no mind to it until it came again. She than got out of bed and walked to the window. As she open it up a small rock hit her in the head.

"Ow!"

"Sorry about that," a voiced whispered from a pile of hay. Two head popped up to reveal that it was Scootaloo and Sweetie belle.

"What are you guys doing here." Apple bloom whispered as loud as she could.

"Where here to pick you up our cutie mark crusader star gazing," said Scootaloo.

"I can't, Applejack say that I should stay here on account of the dogs attack," said Apple bloom

"That's OK we suppose to stay at home anyway so we snuck out instead," said Sweetie belle.

"You coming or what?" asked Scootaloo.

Apple bloom thought about it for a sec than went back into her room to gather up some stuff. As she left her room she made a quick peek in Applejack's room to make sure she was asleep. Seeing her still asleep, Apple bloom sneak her way downstairs and outside the house.

"Okay girls tonight's the night we sure to get our cutie marks," said Apple bloom.

"CUTIE MARK CRU-" all three fillies put their hooves in their mouth before they woke up the whole barn. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS STAR WATCHERS YAY!" They whispered as they walked towards their club house. On their way Apple bloom started to go the barn house to get the lantern she was looking for earlier. As she open the door she saw the lantern was right next to her. As she lit the flick Apple bloom look up and saw a pair of red eyes watching her from within the barn. She than jumped back in horror almost dropping the lantern in the process. After getting up on her hooves, Applebloom rubbed her eyes to confirm what she saw, nothing but darkness was withing the barn. Apple bloom didn't pay much mind to it and tried to catch up with her friends.

Within the barn Alucard saw the 3 fillies sneak off into the darkness, after a few second he open the barn door and started to walk out.

"Going somewhere Alucard?" Walter asked.

"I'm going out to stretch my legs, being in one place for a while can bore me sometimes." said Alucard.

"Don't let anyone see you and try not to get into any trouble," said Walter.

"I can only promise the first." Alucard said as he turned his head back having a wicked smile.

Sweetie Belle's house

Since the diamonds dog's raid on Carousel Boutique, Rarity was forced to live in her parents house until the damage on the house is fix. Since the house didn't have an extra bed, Rarity had no choice but to sleep on the couch in the living room. After hours of tossing and turning she finally got into a good position where she was able to sleep peacefully. But than Opalescence jump on her waking Rarity up from her beauty sleep. After pulling Opal off of her, Rarity gave her a treat just so she can get some peace a quite. When Rarity headed toward the kitchen to get a warm glass of milk she notice something was missing. She than saw that a bag a chips that Sweetie was going to use for snacks while they had their star gazing was gone. Rarity went upstairs to go check to see if she was in her bed room. But when she went in she saw that their were pillows place under the blanket to make it look like she was still in bed.

"Oooh... I knew Sweetie Belle would pull this kind of trick, I also bet the other Cutie Mark group is with her as well." Rarity said to herself as she marched out the door to go get Applejack.

Sweet Apple Acres

Applejack was sleeping like a baby foal when she heard a loud banning on her door. She gave a long yawn and finally came downstairs to open the door. Rarity was standing their with an angered look on her face.

"What is it Rarity? Its nearly high moon time." Applejack said rubbing her eyes to wake up.

"Its Sweetie Belle, she snuck out of the house and probably went on her silly crusade with her friends," said Rarity.

"What! That ridiculous my little Apple bloom is sleeping like a bear in winter," said Applejack.

"Are you sure about that," said Rarity.

Before Applejack could say anything she thought about it for a moment and decided to go check to see if she was in her room. After seeing nothing she came down with her hat on ready to go out a get the girls back. As they were heading out they heard a strange roaring sound. Both ponies looked up in the sky to see a flying object heading towards the Everfree Forest. After it went away, Seras came out of the barn with a large riffle in her hand.

"What in tarnation is going on Seras?" asked Applejack.

"You both hear that noise a while ago didn't you?" Seras asked looking worried. Both ponies nodded confirming her fear. "That sound came from a helicopter."

"A heli-what?" Applejack asked.

A helicopter, its a type of airborne vehicle from my world," said Seras

"But how is that possible?" ask Rarity.

"I don't know, but I think we should investigate it at least," said Seras

"But what about our sisters shouldn't we at least see if their OK," said Rarity.

Seras thought about it for a moment than decided that they might have enough time for it. Soon all 3 went off to go find the CMC.

Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse

Although it was Apple bloom's idea to go get their cutie marks by star gazing, they weren't making any progress because they had forgotten two vital thing to make a star gazing night work. One was clear skies and two was a telescope, which they had neither. The three were sitting in a circle trying to figure out what to do next.

"Great idea Apple bloom pick the one night that there a bunch of clouds in the sky," said Scootaloo

"How was I suppose to know that it was a cloudy night its not like the Pegasus hand out their weather pattern plans. Besides wasn't your job to go get a telescope so we can see the stars better.

"OK first off the Pegasus hand out a weather plan to everypony at the being of the new months and second it not my fault that the stupid dog destroyed the telescope store." Scootaloo said folding her arms.

While Applebloom and Scootaloo were arguing on whose fault this was they heard a roaring noise that almost shook the entire club house. The 3 fillies look out the window and saw something in the distance landed in the Everfree forest.

"What the heck was that?" said Apple bloom.

"I don't know but it looked like it landed in the Everfree forest. we should go over there and find out what it is, said Scootaloo.

"What, are you crazy that thing landed in the Everfree forest," said Sweetie belle

"Relax its not going to end up like the time we tried to find one of Fulttershy's chicken. Beside that was a creature we never saw before we might discover a entirely new creature as well," said Scootaloo.

"We might get our cutie marks in creature discovering," said Applebloom.

"Well if its for the sake of getting our cutie marks I guess we can try, as long as we don't try and catch it," said Sweetie belle

"OK then CUTIE MARKS CRUSADERS CREATURE DISCOVERER YAY!!" The three shouted as they left the club house and darted toward the so called creature has landed.

Somewhere in the Ever free Forest

As the helicopter made its landing the soldiers along with the changelings got off and started to scout the area for anything. Once they gave an all clear sign LT. Rip van Winkle got off and looked around.

"So this is the Everfree forest," said Rip.

"Area is secure LT." one of the soldiers said.

"Than the hunt for the ponies shall begin." Rip said as she twirl her riffle around.

Millennium soldiers started to run into the forest hoping that they would find some prey that will quench their thirst. While Rip went into another direction humming a propaganda song from WWII.

CMC clubhouse

Applejack, Rarity, and Seras had reached the CMC clubhouse hoping that they would find the girls in their. But when Applejack looked into the window she saw nothing.

"Great, just great first they disobey our orders not to go out to their clubhouse. Now they probably ran off somewhere else to do another thing where they think that it will earn them a cutie mark." Rarity said stomping her hoof in anger.

"Cutie mark?" asked Seras.

"Its these marks on our rear that shows other ponies what their special talent is." Applejack said as she hopped down from the clubhouse. "Most ponies find out their special talent at a young age and since my sister and her friends are the last one in class that haven't got any marks they have been trying everything to get it."

"In any case we should find them before looking for that helicopter." Seras said as she picked up the large riffle. Both Applejack and Rarity were shocked that Serzzs could pick up a large weapon with such ease.

"Oh my...uhm isn't that thing a little bit heavy for you to pick up by yourself?" Asked Rarity.

"Normally yes, but since I'm a vampire I have more strength than a normal human being would," said Seras.

"Wait and minute there partner, your a vampire just like that Alucard fella?" asked Applejack looking a bit worried.

"I am but... unlike him I haven't even drink anyone's blood," said Seras

""Well your certainly don't act like him either, thank Celestia. But why do you call him master?"

"Well in a way he saved my life. You see before I joined Hellsing I was just a policeman in a small village. But that all changed when a vampire attack the village and turned everyone into his ghouls. I was the only survivor until the vampire found me and was about to kill me until master came and saved me. However I got gravely injured during the battle and was on the brink of death. But than he made me an offer me a choice. Either die or over walk the night with him. I was afraid to die so I made my choice and became a vampire like him," said Seras.

Both ponies were in awe of the events that Seras had told them.

"Dear me that must have been awful for. I mean you had a choice of either seeing only the night every day or not at all," said Rarity.

"I'm just surprise that Alucard fella showed your some mercy. He's not the type of pon-er....gu-...uhm vampire I would think to show mercy to anypony," said Applejack.

"He's not that bad once you get to know him." Seras said trying to keep a straight face. But Applejack could tell that see was not telling them something. but decided not to pursue it because they had more important things to worry about

Somewhere in the Ever free Forest

With just the little green later lighting they way the CMC was trying effortlessly to find the 'creature' that made the noise earlier. However they were not making any progress.

"So what will we do once we find the creature when we find it? asked Sweetie Belle.

"Its obvious well just look at if and study it till we can learn nothing more about it," said Applebloom.

"Nah, well just try and capture it than show it to everypony that we caught it all by ourselves." Scootaloo said standing proud.

Both Applebloom and Sweetie belle look at her like she was crazy, not only did the idea sounded stupid but it could get them killed as well. They ignored her idea and continue to discuss on what should they do when they find they creature. They all stop when they heard a humming noise coming from somewhere. At first they thought it was some type of bug but as it got closer it sounded like somepony was humming a song. The CMC decided to sneak towards the source of the noise, to find out that if it was the creature they were looking for. When the humming noise sounded like was coming from the other side of the bush the girls than moved some bushes to see what was making the noise. As they did, they saw a two-legged figure holding a large musket in her arm just walking down they path as she hummed they same song as before. The 3 little fillies were both in shock and awe at what they were seeing, they knew for sure that nopony every saw a creature such as it. It was then that they decided to look and study the creature for the purpose of science or just to get their cutie marks. But as they poke their heads out of the bushes they saw that the creature was gone.

"If your going to try to sneak up on someone, you should put out that flame in your lantern." said a voice from behind them. The CMC, still inside the bushes, all turned around slowly as they saw they creature from before holding her long musket towards them. "Now come out of the bushes and I may just spare your lives," said Rip. As the the CMC came out the bush Rip lowered her weapon and he mouth was open wide. "So...." she whispered. "so...so" she continued. The girls looked at her with confusion as she continue to mummer something. "SO CUTE!!!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, causing the CMC to jump.

Rip dropped her musket and grabbed Sweetie Belle and hugged the small pony in her arms. "Oh you are just the most adorable thing that I seen in my life." Rip said as she continue to snuggle Sweetie Belle. Both Applebloom and Scootaloo were dumbfounded at the situation here there was a strange creature that have never seen before in their life, who threaten them with a weird weapon and than completely did 180 and was snuggling with one of them

"Um thanks...for that compliment." Sweetie Belle said trying to get some air from the death hug.
