Sweetie Belle watched a screen with Dracula Vlad Tepes... noticing Dracula's anger, "They've made it too far!" he said in a fit of rage, but Sweetie Belle knew how to calm him down got ready to reply... and soon had her idea, "Worry bit, if Alucard is as bad as you say he is and Scootaloo ends up being as bad as she seems to be then we always have Death and Apple Bloom ready to attack," she said before taking a drink of a glass of blood wine(Why is Dracula giving that to a filly?!) as she stood up and enveloped her hoof in magic before slashing the air making a giant claw out of emerald magic aura slash the air.
Sweetie Belle smirked at the effects of her training. She was getting stronger by the minute, so go little Scootaloo, take as long as you need, Sweetie Belle will be ready for you.
Apple Bloom threw her new scythe towards a random human civilian... hitting dead on... it only took 50 attempts, about 100 less that it took her to learn how to summon scythes from thin air, which was 200 less than it took her to use the souls of the damned as weapons... so she's getting better... slowly. She heard Death say something about how "that pegasus beat Giant Bat" and she knew... Scootaloo was on her tail. Apple Bloom knew Scootaloo was on her tail. Apple Bloom knew, given a few hours which the various guardians should buy them, that she could become her very own Apple Death(luckily Sweetie Void wasn't coming here soon -Writer) if she wanted.
Apple Bloom took her scythe and got ready to do her own trick with it, she twirled the scythe around before bringing it to the ground causing a shockwave that'll be certain to give Alucard and Scootaloo a hard time when they make it to her and Death. She'll certainly give Scootaloo a hard time.
Sweetie Belle stood still as her body suddenly turned to bats and dashed forwards. When the bats finished, her body reformed... but Sweetie Belle is far from done learning new trick after new trick. She's already got hellfire, bat dash, her magic slash, her magic effect waves, and infernal darkness. Her next step will be transforming into her own version of the monster form but... Dracula says it'll come to her when she's hit enough. Makes sense.
Sweetie Belle went back and had a seat, taking a drink from her still unfinished glass of blood wine. Dracula sat proud of Sweetie Belle, knowing she would eventually surpass him, both in power and in goals.
Apple Bloom did a gesture with her hooves and summoned beams from nothing, smirking. "Ah think Scootaloo is gonna really love mah tricks... if she ain't dyin' that is," she said as she accidently hit the ground with her scythe, creating a tree of bones that sticks around for a few moments, dropping an exploding skull as it vanishes. The hay? Ah can do that? Apple Bloom thought as she remembered the tree... before she smirked... oh... she'll definitely have the chance to be her own kind of Apple Death...
Apple Bloom had a number of ideas she could use to create moves that'd make her so unique. Alucard will never see it coming. Of course not counting what Scootaloo can learn about it by dying.
Scootaloo walked out the save room and started walking through Memory Museum with Alucard... finding a boss room oddly close to the previous one, albeit they can go another way... but why not handle another boss right now?
Scootaloo walked into the boss room and saw Alucard on the ground on the verge of death, Apple Bloom and Death floating over him. "Alucard... ya were pathetically easy. Ah thought ya would be more of a challenge from what ah heard about ya," she said holding a scythe slashing Alucard who exploded into blood... Apple Bloom looked towards Scootaloo, who couldn't escape due to the shut door, and threw her scythe towards her.
Then everything went black.
"DON'T!" Scootaloo yelled, stopping Alucard from progressing into that room, "We are not ready for the fight in that room, from what I remember, Apple Bloom and Death await on the other side and as we are right now, we'd die without an ounce of effort on our part to defend ourselves," she added as Alucard started down the other path.
"Then we go the other way and return when we're stronger," Alucard said on the path, finding several rooms with enemies and a relic called the Fairy Tome which allowed Alucard to identify the names of enemies upon hitting them... although it might not help much cause it'll just give Scootaloo more names to remember... which will cause strain on the poor filly's mind.
A hallway... another hallway... another hallway... why are there so many back to back hallways?
Seriously, they've gone through 5 back-to-back hallways, why are there 5 of these? "This is driving me insane! Why the hay are there five hallways back to back!!" Scootaloo yelled aloud in angry annoyence
"The castle is a creature of chaos, it can take many incarnations," Alucard explained as he attacked an odd piece of floor, which showed another room that actually had a chest.
Scootaloo used her artifical horn to open the chest and got... "A mask?" She asked as she stared at the odd mask. Alucard looked at the various books in the room to find whatever the mask is, finding the Sword card in the process. Scootaloo put her new mask in the bag she all of a sudden had... just because. Well... more accurrately, because it just doesn't seem useful right now, sure, it gives some defense but... Scootaloo might not need that right now.
Scootaloo and Alucard kept going through room after room, even finding a few bonus Life ups, Alucard using a few of them to increase the amount of damage he can take... Scootaloo using just one and feeling stronger than before. She also broke a wall revealing... a salad? "Why was a salad in a wall?" She asked. Alucard chuckles at that.
"Nobody knows, many report finding what is called 'wall food' but it depends on who you ask, many say they find the aptly named 'wall chicken' such as myself.
Alucard used his sword to strike a wall... only to find a Wall Chicken... he will never understand his father's castle.
As Scootaloo heard that he(Yes, in this universe Scootaloo is genderfluid.) thought long and hard as he put the wall salad into his bag. Scootaloo looked towards Alucard and nodded... finding a save room not long later and saving again...
