When life gives you EXP

Chapter 3: Pay for your luck, fool!

Unknown location...

Giant creature once again raised an equally huge sword to strike one of it's opponents. Both figures dodged it.

Mysterious creature in cape talked "We need to destroy it's sword! I've got the plan!"

Dragon landed near to the figure, clenching his glowing gauntlets into fists "Alright! My special attack is ready!"

Figure in cape pulled out it's purely white blade "Mine is too. Here is the plan! You need to catch executioner's sword with Perfect Block. After that, I will jump on it and slice it with my awakened Muramasa"

Dragon smirked and bumped his fist into each other, drawing monster's attention "You got this!"

They ran at the Executioner together. Monster raised the sword for another attack. After Executioner swung it's sword, dragon caught it with both of his arms.

Figure in the cape jumped on the sword and ran forward, slicing it "I need few seconds! Hold him!"

Dragon groaned "Come on!"

Figure jumped away, making pieces of sword fall apart. Executioner got stunned. Figure landed near to the dragon.

Dragon's gauntlets started to glow stronger "And now we will finish him!"

Figure nodded, charging it's sword "Let's do this!"

They charged at stunned monster and jumped really high, staying together. Dragon clenched his gauntlet into fist and figure charged it's sword with blue energy.

They both shouted "BURST! Complete Tornado Energy!"

They almost hit the target when suddenly...

Twilight came downstairs and grabbed joysticks from Vlad's and Spike's hand with magic "And that's enough games! Time to eat!" she accidentally pressed button that closed the game.

Vlad and Spike shouted "NOOOOO!"

Twilight sighed "Oh come on! It's not that bad, is it?"

Spike groaned "Noo...We could defeat this boss with the BEST combo attack..."

Vlad pushed sad dragon weakly "Well, we saved before fighting Executioner, so it's not that bad!"

Spike sighed "Yeah...Well, what do we have today?"

Twilight smiled proud of herself "Today we are having pancakes!"

Vlad stood up "Oh boy! It's time to taste another world pancakes!"

Spike snorted "Dont expect too much"

Human and dragon sat at the table. Twilight brought three dishes with three pancakes on each and put them on table.

Vlad looked at them "Yep, just pile of ordinary pancakes...Oops! Need to go to the bathroom!" Human stood up and went upstairs.

Spike bit one of the pancakes and coughed several times "Wh- WHAT DID YOU ADD IN THOSE?!"

Twilight snorted "I only used ingredients that are used to make pancakes!" she pointed at the kitchen.

Spike drank some water and asked "Since when KETCHUP is used to make pancakes?!

Twilight tilted her head "What do you..." she looked back at the kitchen and gasped "Oh no! I accidentally added spicy ketchup in the pancakes dough!

Spike did a facepalm "Why do we even have SPICY one?"

Twilight walked into the kitchen "Somepony gave it to me as a gift"

Spike approached unicorn "I guess it was a joke..."

Vlad went downstairs and looked at his pancakes. Human didn't hear Twilight and Spike, so he ate his portion and brought dish to the kitchen.

Vlad noticed that dragon and unicorn were looking at half empty bottle of ketchup "Something is wrong?"

Twilight turned around "I acci-...Did you eat those pancakes?"

Vlad put dish in the sink "Well, as you see"

Spike looked at Vlad with surprised face "Didn't you feel anything well...Gross?"

Vlad shrugged "Well I felt something, but I liked it. Secret ingridient eh, Twilight?"

Twilight pointed at ketchup bottle "I accidentally added sauce in pancakes...Did you actually like it?"

Vlad nodded "Yep! Maybe because I like ketchup TOO much, but I think it was amazing!"

Spike sighed "Humans are strange..."

Vlad shrugged "Well, as I said yesterday...I think so too"

Twilight sighed "That's why I'm never cooking food"

Spike opened cupboard and took out bowl with gems "Dont know about you Twilight, but I still want to have my breakfast" dragon then threw gem in his mouth.

Vlad looked at the mess "Need a HAND here?"

Twilight giggled "Actually, I kinda need to cook something for myself now..."

Vlad shrugged "I can cook only eggs..."

Twilight sighed "And we are out of those..."

Spike put bowl with gems on table and sat on chair "We still have vegetables"

Vlad shrugged "Sorry, can't cook anything with those"

Twilight sighed "Guess we are visiting Square today"

After they had breakfast, Spike wrote down everething that Twilight named and Vlad washed dishes.

Human asked unicorn "Can I come as well? I saw square already, but I'm still interested about what do you ponies do for living"

Twilight smiled "Sure! You can come with us!"

Vlad suddenly looked around "Wait...Where is my mask?"

Spike tilted his head "Wha?..It won't make you invisible you know?"

Vlad sighed "No I mean-...Oh right, I forgot..."

Twilight got her bags ready "What did you forget?"

Vlad shrugged "Eh...Thing that happened in my world. Quite hard to explain"

Twilight grabbed new notebook "Then what about you explain it to me while we are going to the square?"

Vlad nodded "Yeah, why not"

Spike sighed and wrote something on the list "We will need more notebooks too"

Meanwhile...

Rainbow Dash was lying on the cloud near to the Ponyville.

She opened her eyes and yawned "Strange...I thought I would fall asleep...Guess imma visit that human!"

Pegasus stretched a bit and then took off with incredible speed.

She thought for herself 'I still feel bad for the accident...Eh! He had probably forgot about it already!'

Back to Ponyville...

Vlad was finishing his sentence "...and that's why I was wondering about mask"

Twilight was walking with confused face "So...There is virus in your world..."

Vlad nodded "Well, yes...And don't worry! I'm totally safe!"

Twilight sighed "Just HOW cruel your world is..."

Vlad shrugged "It's not the world. It's because of humans. I mean...We were able to create weapon that can destroy whole city...Don't look at me like that! I'm just telling you things about humans"

Twilight shaked a bit "That's...Horrible..."

Spike pushed unicorn "HEEY! This is sure interesting, but we are at the square!"

Vlad looked around "Wow, I didn't notice those stores last time"

In the town center there were many stalls with different goods. Food, flowers, toys and even one with gems!

Spike looked at the last one "Oh boy! I wonder what are they having today!"

Twilight tilted her head "But you still have some left"

Spike shrugged "Why not stock up? Just in case"

Vlad agreed "He is actually right. Don't worry, I will help you with groceries"

Twilight sighed "Alright then! Where was my list again.."

Spike gave Vlad scroll "There you go, good luck" with that being said, dragon ran to the stall with gems.

Vlad opened the scroll. It wasn't very big.

Human read something "Wha...Why do you need extra thermometer?"

Twilight looked back at Vlad "For you, silly!"

Human snorted "Well uhh...Thank you but...You spent a lot on me already"

Twilight giggled "Well, money are not the main thing on our world you know?"

Vlad sighed "They are one of the main factors in mine though"

They started to walk around. Everypony was still looking at Vlad surprised, but at least without being terrified. Some of the ponies even talked to Vlad!

Meanwhile...

Rainbow Dash was standing at Treehouse door. There was a note on the door saying 'Library temporary closed!' Pegasus flew around it, looking into windows.

She landed on the nearest cloud "Hm...Where could they go..."

Rainbow Dash sat down with thoughtful face. She looked around and noticed square with big crowd on it.

Pegasus shrugged "Well, since I couldn't find 'em..."

Back to human's location...

Since ponies understood that human means no harm, they crowded him and started to ask questions. Twilight wasn't nearby, but Vlad was able to answer them calmly.

He then sighed "Uhm...I'm sure happy to know that you all are friendly, but I have to go, alright? I will answer all questions a bit later"

Ponies nodded understandingly and parted. Vlad looked around to find Twilight, when one thought appeared in his head:

'Behind!'

Rainbow Dash was looking at human from behind the wall. She was planning on getting near from the back, when Vlad turned his head right at her.

Pegasus gasped and hid behind the wall "Wha? How did he notice me? I made no sounds!"

She heard voice from behind "Uhm...Did you need anything?"

Rainbow Dash jumped up from surprise and turned around. It was Vlad.

She leaned on the wall with chilly face "Hey there...How did ya sleep?"

Meanwhile in her head:

'Oh HAY no! I don't want to look like freak!'

Vlad shaked a bit "Don't ask..."

Rainbow Dash raised here eyebrow "What do you mean?"

Few hours earlier, Vlad's dream...

Luna was doing something with hairbrush.

Vlad sighed "I wonder when I'm going to wake up..."

Luna snorted "Dont worry, human, we will make sure to finish tonight's session in time"

Vlad gulped "Does it mean. .This will happen continuously?"

Luna tilted her head "It's not like we are torturing you, are we?"

Vlad shrugged "As I said. For some reason I don't like being touched...Or touch someone without permission"

Luna giggled "Dont worry, tomorrow night we will bring something else"

Back to our current situation...

Vlad sighed "Let's say that I have extraordinary dreams...So what did you want?"

Rainbow Dash shrugged "Oh you know...I was...I was on the mission that is connected to Elements of Harmony, yeah!"

Vlad tilted his head "Elements of what again?"

Rainbow Dash snorted "Oh come on! Twilight HAD to tell you about this!"

Vlad put fingers on his jaw "Hm...I don't remember anything about Elements or Harmony..."

Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and made clever face "Maybe I could tell you about them..."

Suddenly, Vlad heard voice behind his back "Uhm...Excuse me, tell about what exactly?"

Vlad sighed "For some reason I didn't get scared"

Rainbow Dash waved with her hoof "Heya Twi! I was going to tell him about Elements of Harmony!"

Twilight blinked few times "Oh right, I completely forgot to tell you about them! Let's head back to the library!"

Vlad shrugged "Alright I guess"

Unicorn, pegasus and human arrived at gem store to take Spike...

Dragon's hands were busy holding bag of gems that was as big as he is "That was a GOOD catch!"

Vlad snorted "I see, need help with carrying your booty?"

Spike shrugged "Eh, why not!"

Human got the bag and threw it over the shoulder "Whelp, let's go, shall we?"

They headed towards the Twilight's house.

Vlad put bag at the kitchen "You are sorting those alone"

Spike shrugged "Like I would let somepony touch them without permission!"

Vlad smirked "Not even Rarity?"

Spike looked away "Well uh...I...Whatever!"

Vlad snorted and started to help Twilight with groceries. Rainbow Dash looked at books bored.

She then approached human from behind "So how did you notice me? I mean, not like I'm interested or stuff..."

Vlad put vegetables on table "Well...Yesterday I upgraded one thing..." he opened the Panel "..It's a passive skill that works if someone is near to me...I guess that current area is 10 meters and-"

Rainbow Dash put her hoof on human's mouth "Keep it to 20 words or less!"

Vlad backed off and covered his mouth with palm "First of all, don't do that EVER again, please"

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "Did I do something wrong?"

Twilight sighed "I forgot to mention, he doesn't like to be touched. Though it's ok for him if Spike does"

Vlad shrugged "Well, I don't see anything dangerous about him...No offense, it's not like I don't belive you guys"

Rainbow Dash smirked "So that means if I touch you without warning-"

Vlad did a facepalm "What is wrong with this world...Why everyo-...pony wants to touch me?"

Spike walked near Vlad with bowl of gems "Guess you are some kind of magnet"

Twilight looked at pegasus "So uhm...It makes him uncomfortable when we fouch his skin. Try to-"

Human's hand made a strange noice "Oh! I'm level 7, sweet! Oh, sorry Twilight, I interrupted you"

Spike snorted "What will you do with the point?"

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "Wha..? Level, point? What do you guys mean?"

Twilight sighed "It's his uhm...Ability"

Vlad shrugged "I will keep it for now. By the way, why did you stalk on me, Rainbow Dash?"

Pegasus sweated a bit and averted her eyes "What do you mean? I didn't do anything like that!"

Vlad stared at Rainbow Dash "Right...You said something about those Elements. What are those things?"

Twilight inhaled a lot of air when suddenly Rainbow Dash interupted her.

Pegasus smirked "Those things are protecting Equestria from bad guys!"

Twilight sighed "Well ..Something like that. And she is one of bearers"

Vlad clipped his eyes few times and looked at Rainbow Dash "So basically you are some kind of a superhero?"

Pegasus snorted "The fastest and the only!"

Spike was sitting on the couch with bowl of gems "And others are Twilight, Rarity, AppleJack, Fluttersy and Pinkie"

Vlad opened his mouth but then closed it.

Rainbow Dash smirked "Speechless huh?"

Vlad put palm on his forehead "So basically, you guys were taking care of me even though you have duties..."

Twilight calmed human down "Dont worry! We are using Elements only in urgent situations! We are still simple ponies in our freetime"

Vlad sighed and looked at pegasus"So uhm...Is there something wrong with my aura or something? I mean, if you were on the mission"

Twilight gasped "What? Is there a problem with him that requires help of Elements?!"

Rainbow Dash made clever face "Well uhh...Yeah! There is something about Vlad that-"

Twilight interrupted pegasus "Did you actually think I would fall for it?"

Rainbow Dash shrugged "Well, I could try, right?"

Vlad made confused face "So why did you say that you were on the mission?"

Rainbow Dash shrugged "Well, I wanted to apologize for the incident. And besides, scaring you from behind would look funny"

Vlad sighed "Some of you are just mean..."

Twilight sighed "Dash, that's indeed rude"

Pegasus shrugged "Well, what about we visit AJ then? I mean...She kinda feels bad for hurting you n' stuff"

Twilight nodded "By the way, could you take Lyra Heartstrings with you? We wanted to take some notes on his body functionality"

Vlad clipped few times "That sounded like I'm a cyb-...Nevermind, let's take Lyra and go"

Spike waved his hand "Good luck out there, solider"

Vlad snorted "As you say, captain.."

Some time later, they met with Lyra near square. Unicorn, pegasus and human walked out of Ponyville and headed to Apple's farm...

Meanwhile...

AppleJack was walking around farm. Since all apples were collected yesterday, she had nothing to do.

Pony sighed "Ahm better visit dis human. Didn't even apologize properly"

Suddenly, sounds from farm outskirts caught AppleJack's attention. There were 2 figures running and one flying...Was it Rainbow Dash?

Vlad was running full speed "STOP IT! Rainbow Dash, I already told you not to touch me!"

Pegasus was flying nearby slowly "Aw come on! It's no use running away. I mean, I just wanna pet your hair"

Lyra somehow was able to ran as fast as Vlad with notebook "DONT...HUFF...DONT STRESS HIM OUT! Humans are known for...Puff...For their rage problems!"

Vlad turned back at unicorn "Well that was just mean!"

And so they ran the path for few minutes...Vlad zig zagged through apple trees. Lyra and pegasus lost him.

Rainbow Dash groaned "Not fair! I can't even see you now!"

Vlad stopped near tree to have rest and thought for himself 'Man...Just how fast Rainbow is...And why did she want to touch my damn hair...Are only problematic guys here have this addiction?'

He then sat under one of the trees and looked around...Apple trees, path, farm...Yeah, it was defenetly where Twilight sent him. Though path caught his attention. He was sure he walked this one when he landed in forest.

Vlad got closer to the path "Huh...Perhaps it could be connected to the one I walked few days ago...And why I'm talking to myself again?"

Human listened to his surroundings...It was okay if he met Lyra, though Rainbow Dash would just pin him to the ground...Vlad even imagined what face would she have if-

Voice from behind cut human's thoughts "Uhm...'Xcuse me, Mr Alien?"

Few minutes earlier...

Apple Bloom was asked to meet her sister's friends. Not like she had anything to do today, so she agreed. Walking down the path, filly hummed some melody.

Though AppleJack's last words were strange...

'They have duh friend with dem. Don't be afraid of him tho!'

Apple Bloom looked at the Everfree Forest...Few days ago somethi-...Somepony landed there and made a lot of noice. Sweety Belle said that her sis Rarity even made clothes for this...Hoo-man?

Apple Bloom looked down the path and noticed strange creature. She hid behind tree and watched it. Filly then memorized AppleJack's words and inhaled. She approached human from behind and...

Our time...

Vlad turned around and looked at filly that asked the question "Uhh...Hello there?"

Apple Bloom averted her eyes "Are...Are you here to visit mah sis...I mean AppleJack?"

Vlad blinked few times "...I guess so?"

Filly suddenly smiled "Mah name is Apple Bloom! Follow me!"

Vlad looked at the sky "Uh sure, but can we walk under trees?"

Apple Bloom tilted her head "Why tho? Path is much better"

Vlad sighed "Let's say that someo-..Somepony is out here for my head"

Meanwhile...

Lyra and AppleJack met near barn.

Unicorn sighed "And so, Rainbow wanted to challenge Vlad...I actually hoped he would be there...Or at least Rainbow"

AppleJack smirked "Poor guy...Ah can see Dash flyin' 'round...Tru predator eh?"

Lyra nodded "Though humans are also know for their ability to adapt! I'm sure he will be here soon"

AppleJack sighed "Ah hope Bloom met him instead of Dash. Though why is he so stressed 'bout touches?"

Lyra shrugged "No idea..."

Meanwhile in the sky...

Rainbow Dash was flying around, trying to find Vlad "Where could he go...Maybe he is already with AJ?" she looked at barn, noticing her friend waving to her "Nope...Guess I will-"

She suddenly noticed two figures walking to Lyra and AppleJack. Those were filly and human.

Pegasus flew towards them "NOW I GOT YOU!"

Vlad sighed with relief "Phew...Thank you, Bloom" he looked at AppleJack and waved his hand "Heya"

Mare waved with her hoof "Guess ya made it"

Lyra made some notes "I wouldn't be so sure..." she pointed behind human with pen.

Vlad heard accelerating sound from behind. He turned around and Rainbow Dash bumped into his chest. As a result, human and pegasus fell down.

Vlad sat down and coughed several time "Oi, you good?"

Rainbow Dash moved her head left and right and put hoof on it "I guess so...Though I still won!"

Vlad shrugged "Congratulations I guess?"

He thought for himself 'Are they all so soft? I mean...It could end up much worse'

Apple sisters giggled, while Lyra walked near human "Need a hand?"

Vlad sighed "Ha ha, very funny. Though I can get up myself"

Rainbow Dash flew up "Good luck next time"

Vlad dusted himself off "Yeah, yeah...Anyway, Twilight sent me here for some kind of researches"

Lyra continued "We want to see what he is capable of...For now I know that his body is WAY more flexible than I thought"

AppleJack nodded "So ya want meh to look on his muscles?"

Lyra nodded "Yes, he was uhm...Way too shy to show us his body"

Vlad crossed arms on his chest "Well Excuse me, I personally don't like being without clothes in front of someone"

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "Then how are you having fun on beach?"

Vlad snorted "Never being on one...Though we have enough of those in my world"

Apple Bloom suddenly asked "How are ya bucking trees?"

Vlad tilted his head "Wha?"

Lyra explained "Humans are not very strong, but they have arms that let them create a lot of things. They are collecting apples"

Apple Bloom tilted her head "But it's WAY too long!"

While filly and unicorn were talking, AppleJack went to the barn.

Rainbow Dash looked at human's hands "Can I touch those?"

Vlad sighed "Just why...I mean, really. Why do you guys want to touch my skin so bad?"

Rainbow Dash shrugged "What is the problem?"

Vlad crossed arms on his chest "Either way I'm not letting anypony except Spike touch me...Don't ask why, I don't know myself"

Rainbow Dash smirked "Well, if you say so..." she prepared herself.

AppleJack invited everypony inside barn before pegasus could do anything.

She pointed at big amount of barrels "Those are from last Fall. We gotta get 'em into basement. Big Mac is with Granny in Canterlot due to our family buisness"

Vlad shrugged "Alright, I think I can help you out..."

Apple Bloom tilted her head "But how will ya..."

Lyra sat down "Now we just observe..."

Vlad put some barrels so that they could roll. He then summoned tentacles from his palms, which made everypony except Lyra gasp. His 'limbs' started to direct barrels to the exit of barn.

Vlad sighed "Wow, I actually thought it won't work...Though I can roll only 5 of them at a time"

AppleJack, Rainbow Dash then joined him. They were able to transport barrels quite quickly.

AppleJack exhaled "Phew! Yer don't understand how ye help meh out!"

Apple Bloom and Lyra were sitting near basement.

Lyra finished writing "Well, I think we are done for today!"

Vlad smirked "Wow, didn't know you were interested ONLY in researches"

Lyra giggled "Well, it doesn't mean that I'm leaving you alone for today"

Human shrugged "Well, at least I'm free to go now, right?"

Apple Bloom suddenly asked a question " 'xcuse me, you were mentioning something about our path"

Vlad nodded "Yeah, I was wondering if it's somehow connected to this forest" he pointed at Everfree one.

AppleJack nodded "Eeyup! Though we are not usin' it at all, why?"

Vlad didn't even try to lie "I want to have a closer look on my landing spot...I mean, why not? I think it's totally safe!" he then added "Though it's better for someo-...Actually, I'm going myself"

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "But AJ promised to give us cider!"

Vlad waved his hand "Nah I'm good!"

After human said this, he walked down the path to the exit from farm.

Lyra looked back at Vlad "I would come with him...But I need to give notes to Twilight"

Apple Bloom tilted her head "But what is problem with him going alone?"

Lyra sighed "How to say it in the right way...He is going into the Everfree forest"

AppleJack added "He didn't even try mah cider!"

Rainbow Dash smirked "Oh, I could help you both...For a decent price"

AppleJack crossed hooves "Nuh uh! Ahm not givin' ya THIS kind of cider"

Rainbow Dash groaned and they started arguing...

Meanwhile...

Human approached Everfree Forest...

Vlad closed Panel "Whelp, just in case if someone attacks me...I mean, I st-...Ok i should stop talking to myself"

Human entered forest. It took him few minutes to get to the needed place.

Vlad looked at the hole and thought for himself 'If I'm right, there might be uhh...Starter loot around?'

Human then looked around...He checked inside of 'crater' but found nothing.

'I mean...I already got superpowers...That would be WAY too over powered. And then it would surely come back...'

He then got out and sighed.

'Whelp, at least I didn't get into anything...Though it would be cool if I got my glasses. It's kinda hard for me to live without those'

Vlad started to walk away, when something hit his head from behind. Human groaned and turned around, finding green case on the ground.

Vlad blinked few times and picked it up "Well, guess I'm WAY too lucky...Though sooner or later, I will have to pay for this"

Suddenly, Vlad stopped. He turned around once again and sweated.

Human gulped "That's...That's WAY too soon!"

Meanwhile...

Rainbow Dash was looking for Vlad "Yarn...Twilight will kill me if something happens to him..."

Pegasus finally noticed human. He put something in his pocket and started to walk away when suddenly stopped.

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "Did he spot me again? Nope, ther is no wa-"

Timber Wolf walked out of the darkness. It growled and charged at Vlad at incredible speed.

Rainbow Dash screamed "VLAD, NO!"

Human saw wooden wolf. It had green eyes, sharp teeth and-

Vlad dodged it's attack, and wolf landed on it's four, blocking path to Ponyville.

Human got up and sighed "There we go..."

Suddenly, he heard somepony's voice. He turned around and saw Rainbow Dash.

Pegasus landed near human "What is this Timber Wolf doing HERE?"

Vlad shrugged "How do I-"

He pinned Rainbow and himself to the ground, saving them from another attack.

Pegasus gasped "What the..."

Vlad stood up with serious face "Looks like I have to use it..."

Rainbow Dash stood up "Wha..?"

Vlad continued "Look at his legs, wolf needs some time to prepare for another jump...Meaning that he is immobile" human pointed at Timber Wolf's legs "That means I will use MINE legs!"

Rainbow Dash's eyes widened "Does it mean...You have special skill?!"

Vlad nodded "Back on Earth I used it twice...It always worked...Repeat everething I do, and we will survive..." he strained his body.

Rainbow Dash nodded "Let's do this!"

...

Human turned around and ran "SPECIAL TECHNIQUE! FULL SPEED RETREAT!"

Rainbow Dash looked at human shocked. Even wolf tilted his head confused.

Vlad turned his head around "RAINBOW, RUN...OR FLY I DONT KNOW!"

Pegasus flew after human at incredible speed. Wolf blinked few times and growled even angrier.

Rainbow Dash caught up with human fast "Are you just going to run?!"

Vlad answered "I actually have a plan! We won't let it come near Ponyville!"

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "What do y-"

Pegasus smacked into the tree and Vlad stopped, turning around. Timber Wold was approaching, and human ran back.

He picked her up and continued running "Whoa, you are quite light"

'Alright, I have the plan...But Rainbow can't run away...Where do I hide her...'

Meanwhile...

Pegasus slowly opened her eyes...She was carried by somepo-...

She slowly turned her head at Vlad, then at Timber Wolf. It was getting closer, and human was getting tired...

Wolf made a huge jump, Vlad threw pegasus forward and covered his body with 'Shell'. She fell on ground and rolled away a bit. Rainbow Dash heard grinding sound.

Vlad was able to block wolfes claws with both of his hands...Unfortunately, it was pressing on Vlad with its full weight.

'Dammit...I spent all of my mana on this armor...Just if I could reach his leg, I could make him fall and hit head with rock...Wait, since when I can think of plan in this kind of situations?'

Suddenly, light blue pegasus appeared behind wolf. She looked at it's legs and then on human.

Vlad nodded and channeled all his strength into last push "He is yours!"

Wolf got pushed back, and Dash used her back to make it fall down. It hit it's head just like Vlad predicted (which made him surprised) and got itself destroyed...Just like the rock.

Humans 'Shell' dissapeared and he sighed "Daamn...That was insane. Dash, are y-"

Rainbow Dash rammed into Vlad, hugging him "IDIOT! What were you thinking?!"

Vlad fell down pinned "Uhh...First of al-"

Rainbow didn't let him finish "Couldn't you just run away? I would catch up with you!"

Vlad told with quiet voice "Rainbow...You are breaking my ribcage..."

Pegasus gasped and let human go. Vlad inhaled a lot of air and stood up.

Rainbow Dash put hoof behind her head and smiled nervously "Uh...Sorry for this one"

Vlad stretched his body, making cracking noices "Nah, don't worry. So, uh...How would I leave you unconscious? I mean...That would be cowardly and stuff..."

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "What..? Did I-" she groaned and covered her head with hooves "What the hay happened?"

Vlad sighed "Well, you didn't watch the road and hit the tree...I'm glad you are not a car driver or plane pilot"

Rainbow Dash groaned "Yaarn...Should have watched the road..."

Vlad sighed "Well, at least you are OK...Right?"

Pegasus nodded "Yeah...Just need a little nap and I'm fine" she tried to fly up but fell down on human, making him fall down again.

Vlad turned his head at Rainbow "Nope, this is kinda serious"

Pegasus sighed "Damn you, gravity...What do you mean?" she got off the human

Vlad dusted himself off "Well I don't even know...You hit your head on high speed and lost consciousness"

Rainbow Dash almost fell down when she tried to walk down the path "Now that you say it this way, I do feel a bit dizzy...But I can-"

She tripped on a rock and Vlad had to catch her again.

Human sighed "Guess I will make another exception..." he looked at pegasus "Want me to carry you? I mean...It's not like you can actually walk and stuff..."

Rainbow Dash snorted "Dont think that I'm-" she suddenly memorized how human was running away carrying her.

Pegasus shrugged "Well...I do feel kinda tired so...Go ahead!"

Vlad picked her up like the last time and started walking.

Rainbow Dash thought for herself 'Were his arms always THAT soft and comfy? And oh man! His whole body is so warm!'

Vlad sighed "It's temporary thing"

Rainbow Dash looked at human's face "Wha?"

Vlad smirked "Dont think that I will allow you to touch me without permission...No, it's not like you are not worthy or this kind of stuff! It's my uhh...Fobia...One of them"

Pegasus tilted her head "What do you mean by 'Fobia'?"

Vlad averted his eyes "Fobia means fear in my world...Like psychology thing"

Rainbow Dash smirked "Does it mean that I can scare you just by touching?"

Vlad sighed "Nope, I will just experience little discomfort, why?"

Rainbow Dash made cowardly face "Oh, no don't worry about it"

Human thought for himself 'Great job Vlad, now you have another person that will prank you for your entire life...'

Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow "I didn't know that you were THAT strong. I mean...Timber wolfes are kinda...Well..."

Vlad answered "It's not me, it was that armor. But it was risky. If I didn't have enough mana to cover some parts of my body, they would break"

Rainbow Dash clipped her eyes "Wait...So you like...Could get hurt?"

Vlad snorted "Of course I could! If it wasn't to you, I would get smashed already! And-...Aww man...Rarity is going to kill me..."

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "What do you..."

She then noticed that human's shirt was damaged. It's sleeves were teared apart, showing human's skin.

She gasped when Vlad calmed her down "Don't worry, I'm totally fine!"

Rainbow Dash thought for herself 'Man...He risked to save me...'

She then changed the topic "So uhh...Are you humans always THAT warm? And what is this vibration?"

Vlad giggled "Seriously? Is this the only question that bothers you?"

Rainbow Dash blushed weakly and made grumpy face "Hmpf! And what is the problem?"

Vlad snorted "Well...Right now my body is hot due to the adrenaline...But mostly I'm just warm, that's it. And I think that vibration could be my breathing...I mean you are leaning on my chest with head"

Rainbow Dash shrugged and smiled "That means you are just a walking pleasure huh?"

Vlad answered "Says light blue marshmallow..."

'Wait, how did she call me?'

Rainbow Dash glared at human "How did you call me?!"

Vlad sweated "UHH...I mean that you are light and fast, yeah!"

Pegasus snorted "That's what I thought!"

They approached Apple's farm. Lyra and AppleJack gasped after they saw human's and pegasus's condition.

AppleJack looked at Vlad "The hay happened?! Are yall 'right?!"

Lyra noticed that human was carrying Rainbow Dash "And why are you carrying her...I thought..."

Vlad sighed "It would be better if Rainbow Dash could...Seriously?" he looked at her and noticed she was sleeping.

Apple Bloom approached as well "Ah thought we gave her ordinary cider"

Lyra coughed several times "Ahem! We have injured human and pegasus here!"

Vlad shrugged "I'm not injured, but Rainbow kinda is. She hit her head while flying"

AppleJack tilted her head "How..."

Vlad sighed "Uh...Lyra, I have more to tell you about humans. Let's go, shall we?"

Unicorn tilted her head "But...Are you sure you are fine?"

Vlad snorted "Mhm! But uhh...We better head to Twilight. I want to...Learn how to cast spells, yeah!" he turned to Apples "Can I leave her to you?"

AppleJack smirked "Of course ya can! Tho what happened?"

Vlad started going "Well uh...She will tell you I guess?"

Apple Bloom tilted her head "Oi...I can't smell alcohol...And is Rainbow smiling?"

Few minutes later...

Human and unicorn were walking down the path to Ponyville. They entered the town and were walking

Vlad groaned "Dammit...Rarity is going to kill me..."

Lyra wrote something down "And Twilight as well..."

Vlad looked at unicorn "Wha?"

Lyra looked back at human "You guys got in fight, didn't you?"

Vlad sweated a bit "Nope, not at all!..Well, maybe a little..." he sighed "Yeah...Uhh...How was it...Timber Wolf at-"

Lyra shouted "TIMBER WOLF?!"

Everypony looked at them confused.

Vlad made a facepalm "Seriously..."

Meanwhile...

Twilight was writing letter to Celestia in her room. Spike was doing his chores.

Unicorn sighed "I wonder where is Vlad"

Suddenly, voice answered her question "Oh! I think he was fighting with Timber Wolf and now in Ponyville!"

Twilight smiled "Oh, don't be silly! How w-...Pinkie?"

Pink pony was under the bed "Heya Twi!"

Twilight sighed "I won't even ask...Wait, what did you say?"

Pinkie Pie appeared behind unicorn "Every pony was talking about it! I heard that he came back to Ponyville with damaged shirt!" she was bouncing with smile.

Twilight gasped "What?! Where is he?!"

Pinkie Pie averted her eyes "Oh, I know!"

Back to Vlad...

Human and Lyra were walking the path in Ponyville.

Vlad asked "So...Why are we going this way?"

Lyra turned back "We gotta make sure you are ok!"

Vlad stopped "I already told you I'm fine! Rainbow was-"

Lyra used her magic to pull human with magic "Nope! We are checking you on injuries!"

Meanwhile in her head 'Besides, I wonder how does his body look like'

Vlad sighed "OK, alright! Just give me one second..." he checked his pockets "Aw man .."

Lyra tilted her head "What is wrong"

Vlad sighed "I lost something that I took from forest..."

Meanwhile at farm...

Three ponies were in house at kitchen...

Rainbow Dash was finishing her sentence "...and then wolfe's head was no more!"

Apple sisters were standing with wide opened mouthes.

AppleJack asked "So...Ya guys just..."

Rainbow Dash smiled proudly "Yeah! We beat this wolf!"

Apple Bloom went outside "Ahmma tell Scoot and Belle!"

AppleJack sighed "Well, at least yall safe..."

Rainbow Dash nodded "Yeah!..Though I'm sure I would be ok if Vlad didn't carry me..."

AppleJack narrowed her eyes and smiled "Did ya enjoy the ride?~"

Rainbow Dash closed her eyes "Well...Even when this wolf was after us he was trying to give me some comfort...And when I couldn't walk, he carried me with even more care..."

AppleJack snorted "And ya eventually fell asleep~"

Rainbow Dash opened here eyes and blushed "W-well it was comfy! His warmth, breathing...I felt sa-...ARRGH!" Pegasus grabbed her head with both hooves.

AppleJack put hoof on pegasus's shoulder "It's ok, shugarcube"

Meanwhile at Forest...

Three fillies were walking the path in Everfree Forest.

Apple Bloom pointed her hoof at Timber Wolf corpse "See? Ah told ya this was truth!"

Scootaloo's mouth was wide opened "No way! Just how did they defeat it!?"

Sweetie Belle put hoof to her mouth "Just HOW strong this hooman is..."

Scootaloo noticed something green on ground "Huh? What's that?"

Sweetie Belle picked up the case with magic "Hm...There is something inside"

Meanwhile...

Vlad and Lyra were running the path to Apple Sweet Acres.

Human groaned "This is just pissing me off..."

Lyra turned her head into Vlad's direction "What do you mean? And why are we running?"

Vlad answered "Well, you see? I'm sure that fate wanted to make me pay for my luck, so while running, it made my uh...Item fall"

Lyra tilted her head "I don't get it..."

Vlad slowed down and breathed "Man...I should work out more...So uhh...What I mean, is that there are two possible things happening. First: Someone found it"

Lyra corrected human "It's 'somepony'!"

Vlad groaned "Whatever! We are here"

They slowed down to walking speed at needed path. There were some new hooveprints.

Vlad did a facepalm "Damn it..." his face was showing stress.

Lyra looked at human worrying "Hey...You are kinda aggressive..."

Vlad sighed "That's the thing. I can get stressed or angry for no reason...Sorry that I uhh...Acted like that"

Lyra smiled "Oh, it's fine"

Vlad put fist to his jaw "Maybe you were right about our 'rage problems' part..."

They continued following hoovesprints. Sooner, they approached Timber Wolf corpse with fillies around it.

Scootaloo was jumping on wolf "Take this! And this! An-" she noticed human and nearly fell down.

Sweetie Belle caught her and looked around "Eep!"

Vlad sighed with relief "Phew...Good thing it wasn't scenario N.2!"

Lyra snorted "Anyway, what are you doing here? It's dangerous!"

Apple Bloom approached human "We are sorry...We just wanted to see if Vlad said truth..."

Sweetie Belle put Scootaloo on ground "We are going home already!"

Pegasus snorted "Hmpf! It's not like something will happen here anyway!"

Lyra sighed "Follow me, I will lead you home"

Vlad walked towards Timber Wolf "And imma try to find that damn case..."

Sweetie Belle turned her head "You mean, this one?" she pulled out case from her mane with magic.

Vlad nodded "Yep! Can I please have it back?"

Small unicorn nodded and levitated it into himan's hands "There you go"

Vlad exhaled and smiled "Phew! It went much better than I expected!" he said it with VERY optimistic voice.

They started walking away. Human put case in his pocket and sighed.

Lyra groaned "Aww come on! What is wrong now?"

Vlad giggled "Well...I still have to deal with Twilight an-" he suddenly stopped.

Scootaloo turned around "Oi! What are you waiting for?"

Vlad did a facepalm "You guys go, I memorized one more thing"

Lyra used her magic to drag human with her "Nuh uh! You had enough fights for today!"

Vlad groaned "BUT LYYRAA! There is somepony watching us!"

Sweetie Belle turned around "What do you mean sir?"

Scootaloo snorted "If there was somepony, I would notice them!"

Apple Bloom looked back at human "What 'cha gonna do anyway?"

Vlad tried to shrug, but could because of Lyra's magic "Well, talk? I mean, it's not like they would attack me after hearing what I and Rainbow did to this poor thing"

Lyra looked back at fillies "Will you be able to go home yourselfes?"

Apple Bloom nodded "Yep! Actually, what about we have a sleepover?"

Two other fillies jumped out of joy and all of them ran towards farm.

Lyra didn't release human tho "Come out whenever you are!"

Vlad sighed "I already said they are on that tree" he pointed at tree. "And can you release me?"

Lyra snorted "Nuh uh! You will get some rest! Uhh...Whoever you are, please come do-"

Suddenly, knife flew into Lyra's face from tree's direction. She gasped and closed her eyes...

Sound of impact and loud groan could be heard...

Unicor opened here eyes...Human covered her with palm. Droplets of blood were falling on the ground. She looked at palm that was impaled by this knife, then on Vlad.

Lyra quietly said "Y-you..."

Figure flew away from tree. It was black bug like pony, with holes in legs.

Lyra gasped "Changeling?!"

Vlad gasped as well "OVER SIZED BUG?! WHAT THE HELL?!"

Changeling successfully escaped.

Lyra looked at human "Oh no! We have to get you to the hospital!"

Vlad politely coughed "Uhm...Excuse me, but before that..." he inhaled a lot of air and screamed "MY DAMN HAAAND!"

Meanwhile...Ponyville:

Twilight and her friends were looking for human and Lyra. AppleJack and Dash were looking at farm.

Rainbow Dash landed near friends in town "Girls, girls! Bloom, Scootaloo and Belle appeared on farm and said that human and Lyra were in Everfree Forest!"

Twilight gasped "What?! Where are they now?!"

Rarity joined Twilight "My dear sister was in Everfree?!" she fainted on a sofa...In the center of town.

Rainbow Dash shrugged "Well I dunno! Damn...This human likes getting in trouble..."

Twilight nervously giggled "I should have come here first...Sweet Celestia..."

Spike ran to her, hardly breathing "Twi-..Huff...Twilight! They are in hospital!"

Unicorn gasped and ran towards the destination. Her friends followed her, and dragon with groaning tried to keep up with them.

At hospital...

Red Heart pointed her hoof at the corridor "Uhm...Human and unicorn went this way. It was an emergency, so doctor is having them right now"

Rainbow and Twilight ran in the shown direction.

Unicorn thought for herself 'PLEASE be alright! PLEASE be alright!'

Meanwhile in pegasus's head 'If you are not alright, I will make sure to bother you to the end of your life!'

They stopped at the door. Voices could be heard from behind it. Everypony else caught up with Twilight, and they sat at the door, waiting.

AppleJack and Spike then joined them "Ah heard that Vlad is here"

Twilight was too nervous to answer, just like Rainbow.

Spike answered "Yeah, he and Lyra seem to encounter another bad guy...Man, Vlad is sure magnet for troubles!"

Pinkie Pie was bouncing as always "Yeah! He also got his clothes destroyed!"

Rarity gasped "HE WHAT?!"

Door opened and Lyra came out, exhaling.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash asked in one voice "IS HE OK?!"

Lyra sighed "Well...It's too critical for humans...His wound will stay with him forever..."

Everypony but Pinkie and AppleJack gasped.

Vlad was coming out of the door "Lyra, it's not funny at all"

Lyra snorted "Worth it!"

When he showed up, everypony noticed that his left palm was bandaged.

Vlad turned back at medic "Thanks doc!"

Voice could be heard from the door "You are we-"

Suddenly, human jumped away. All mares (except for Spike and Fluttershy) jumped into Vlad to hug him. Unfortunately, they leaped into doctor's office and a lot of noices could be heard after 'landing'.

Vlad sighed "Good thing I upgraded Instincts and Reflexes..."

Spike pushed him a bit "Man, you had quite a beating today!"

Human nodded "I sure did...But at least ev-Wah!"

He shaked a bit after Fluttershy petted his wound "O-oh I sorry! I-I didn't mean to..."

Vlad clipped few times "Oh it's uhh...It's ok I guess"

Fluttershy sighed in relief "But what happened to you? I thought that Timber Wolf didn't-"

Lyra corrected her "Well, we got attacked by Changeling back in the forest. If it wasn't to Vlad, I wouldn't stand here!"

Twilight with groans came out of the office. Doctor and Spike were helping other mares.

Unicorn looked at Lyra "Wha..? Did you just say changeling?!"

Vlad shrugged "Well I dunno! At least this oversized bug didn't try to jump on my face..." he shaked after imagining this.

Months earlier...School...

Vlad was walking down the corridor. He looked at glass cage with spider in it.

Vlad approached it and smiled "Well hello there, Igor"

Spider was crawling around the cage. He was quite big, but Vlad knew he wouldn't bite him.

"Heya Vlad!" voice from behind called.

Vlad turned around and noticed his classmate and only friend in school, Danya. He was just as big as our guy was (Though he was bad with some lessons at school). If you were to describe them, you would imagine Yin and Yang. Danya was kind of trickster and had LOADS of energy. Meanwhile Vlad was just a silent guy...Or was he?

Besides, Danya had bright hair, and our guy had dark brown ones.

He then saluted to Danya "Aye aye, Sparky"

Danya parried with grin on his face "How is it going, Jack!"

Vlad groaned "I told you not to call me like that!" he then looked around "Not in public at least!"

Danya shrugged "Well, you know...You earned this title yourself...Besides, I didn't call you like that in front of class"

Vlad sighed "What did you want anyway?"

Danya pushed him a bit "What about visiting your place, eh?"

Vlad pushed him in answer "You got this!"

Danya suddenly froze in place "O-oi! Look out!"

Vlad smirked and waved his hand "Yeah yeah, I'm not a kid any-" he finally noticed spider on his palm "Oh, hello again Igor"

Danya sighed "Man...I thought you were scared of buggy stuff...I still remember 'Incident' "

Vlad shrugged "Well, this guy is harmless. I mean, what is the worst thing that could ha-"

Spider jumped on his face...After that, animals were restricted in his school...Especially insects and spiders.

Back to our time...

Vlad was SO deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice how other mares sat in front of him.

AppleJack tilted her head "Is fella alright?"

Twilight shrugged "I...guess?"

Fluttershy patted his wounded palm "He was through a lot today...Poor thing..."

Vlad snapped out of his head and clipped few times "Uh...Sorry, was eh...Out there, you know?" he then noticed that two unicorns were looking at him...MENACINGLY!

Rainbow Dash saluted to Vlad "Farewell...I will remember you in my he- I MEAN GOOD LUCK!" Pegasus flew away, leaving everypony a bit confused.

Lyra and Fluttershy however took human's side.

Unicorn stood in front of Vlad "Wait! Don't kill him yet! He saved me after all!" she then whispered something in Twilight's ear "...besides I noticed few more interesting details about subject..."

Vlad coughed politely "I heard that"

Fluttershy hugged human's arm "He is already hurt! Vlad needs rest and care!"

Rarity (with wrath in her eyes) answered "Oh, don't you worry about him dear..." she crunched her...Hooves? "I will make sure to give him proper massage!"

Fluttershy gasped and let go of human's arm. Mares started to argue with each other. AppleJack was standing in the middle of it confused.

Vlad sweated a bit "Uhm...Spike?"

Dragon stood near to the human "Yeah, Vlad?"

Human looked at him "Should I be afraid about this?"

Spike nodded "Yeah...A lot..."

AppleJack and Pinkie Pie were trying to stop them (though the pink one was just having fun).

Vlad came up with plan "Uhm...Spike. Get on my shoulder and close your eyes"

Dragon sighed "I already don't like it..." but still he did what human said.

Vlad prepared himself "They are going to be SO upset..." he pointed his finger forward.

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash came back "Heya again! I thought I could in-"

She couldn't finish because Vlad shouted "FLASH BANG!"

Big amount of light appeared on his finger tip. Everypony screamed and closed their eyes. After few seconds, Vlad with Spike on his shoulder were walking to the exit.

RedHeart looked at the corridor "Uhh...Mr..."

Human turned around "It's Vlad...And PLEASE don't call me Mr"

RedHeart coughed politely "Wel uhm...Vlad, what is going on here in corridor?"

Human sweated "Well...They were fighting and..."

RedHeart sighed "Very well then..." she looked at human and dragon with a smirk "I suppose it would be better not to tell where did you go?"

Spike nodded "Yeah...It would be nice"

They calmly exited the hospital, getting ready to face consequences of their actions.

Meanwhile...

Everypony were rubbing their eyes and groaning.

Lyra sighed "I should have seen this coming!"

AppleJack sat down "Aww...He got us good"

Fluttershy sighed "It was natural reaction...He couldn't stand s-"

Twilight, Rarity and Rainbow groaned and shouted "WHERE DID THEY GO?!"

Pinkie Pie was wearing big sunglasses "Oh! They went into your library!"

In no time three mares were out of hospital. Others calmly trotted (bounced) out of building.

Redheart waved her hoof "Have a good day!"

Meanwhile...In library...

Vlad and Spike were in basement playing their video game.

Spike was trying his best "Should we worry about others?"

Vlad's fingers were moving on an incredible speed "Nah...Pick Healing potion up, I will cover you"

Spike nodded "On it!"

Vlad turned around and checked the door "Uh...I think hiding is useless"

Spike was focused on game "Why so?"

Vlad turned back "Well...There is no reason. We could just talk to them"

Spike shrugged "Eh! It's better to let them chill"

Vlad shrugged "Maybe...But was it necessary to barricade it?"

Spike nodded "Mhm...They could just ram in. You know, they kinda don't think when they are acting"

Vlad sighed "Yeah yeah...Ouch..." he dropped his joystick.

Spike paused the game "You good man?"

Vlad snorted "Well, if we don't include mad mares and my hand, I think yeah! Just need a lil' bit of rest"

Spike sighed "Alright...So, how did this happen?"

Vlad picked up his glass of water "What do you mean?"

Spike shrugged "I mean...Timber Wolf, Changeling...Too much for one day I think?"

Vlad looked at dragon "Do you want it long or short?"

Spike crossed his arms "Short of course. They can run in any second"

Vlad shrugged "Well, you s-"

Loud noices could be heard from the door. Then human and dragon gulped.

Spike whispered "Next time..."

Vlad nodded "Yeah..."

Meanwhile in the library...

Twilight, Rarity and Rainbow Dash rammed into library. They looked around.

Twilight whispered "Let's split up"

Rainbow Dash flew upstairs, and Rarity started trotting around library. They checked every corner, but couldn't find them.

Twilight called "Spike, Vlad! We are not mad at all! Come out!"

Rarity continued "We totally won't hurt you! Not physically at least!"

Rainbow Dash bumped her hooves into each other "Well, I WILL take my revenge!"

Twilight looked at her basement door. She quietly called pegasus and unicorn.

Twilight knocked into the door "Ooh Vlaad!~"

Rarity continued "Spiky-Wikey! Open up!"

Strange noices could be heard from behind the door.

Twilight knocked again "Open up! Or we will use force!" she tried to open door, but didn't succeed.

AppleJack, Lyra, Fluttershy and Pinkie arrived at library. It was total mess.

AppleJack made a face hoof "Poor guys..."

Fluttershy noticed that Rainbow flew down into the basement "Oh no! They are in dang-"

Lyra ran ahead "I CAN'T ALLOW ONLY HUMAN TO GET HURT EVEN MORE!

Pinkie Pie bounced with unicorn "Oh! I can throw "Basement shelter party"! Can I?"

Rainbow Dash knocked the door with strength "Don't worry! If you open now, I won't be too cruel to you!"

Rarity sighed "It's not like they ar-"

Vlad's voice could be heard from the door "OK, but only in one condition!"

Rainbow smirked and Twilight asked "What is this condition?"

Vlad answered "Spike remains untouched! I still want someone to play with me!"

Other mares approached from behind.

Lyra shouted "NO! DON'T GIVE UP!"

Rainbow Dash started to lose her patience "COME ON! Open the door already!"

Spike answered "Let us at least move this table!"

Groans could be heard from behind the door. Everypony prepared themselves.

Door opened and Vlad stood in front of it with closed eyes "Well, what are you going to do now?"

Twilight tilted her head "Huh? I thought..."

Spike exited basement "It's not like you will really hurt us. I mean...Not me at least" he went upstairs and waved to others "Heya"

Fluttershy exhaled with relief "Good thing it's settled..."

Vlad shrugged "I mean...We would still need to come out and stuff. Resistance would be useless"

Rarity coughed "Ahem...I should apologize...I didn't mean to harm you darling"

Vlad shrugged "Eh...You have the right to be angry. After all I destroyed your creation"

Rarity sighed "Either way, I'm sorry"

Twilight made apologetic smile "Uhm...I probably wanted to teach you a lesson and keep safe"

Vlad snorted "And you thought that chasing me would help?"

Twilight made a squee face.

Rainbow Dash crossed hooves on chest and turned her face away "Hmpf! I will think about revenge sooner!"

Vlad snorted "Like cute ponies like you could hurt me!"

AppleJack, Pinkie, Rarity and Twilight giggled, Fluttershy blushed a bit and Lyra made some notes (Yes, she was carrying notebook and pen everywhere).

But Rainbow Dash looked back at Vlad furiously "What did yo-"

Vlad opened one eye and it sparked with red colour. Pegasus gulped and backed off just like everypony else.

Suddenly Vlad laughed "AWW MAN! I got you third time already!" his eye became normal again.

Rainbow Dash was confused "Wh...Huh...Whaaa?"

Vlad inhaled some air after laugher "Alright...I'm sorry PFTT...I won't do that again, I promise"

Twilight gasped "You can change colour of your magic?"

Vlad nodded "Mhm, but it just drains more of my mana..." he noticed that pegasus was looking at him furiously.

'Ah shimata...Well, at least I have plan'

Before Rainbow Dash was ready to smash Vlad's face when he shrugged "What about this: Truth or Dare tomorrow here, at library?"

Rainbow Dash tilted her head "Eh? What is this game?"

Vlad's eyes went wide "Wha? You don't know 'Truth or Dare' ?!"

Lyra dashed into a basement "That means it's a game from your world?! CAN I COME?!"

Vald gasped and fell on his back "Yarn...Stop that!" he sighed "But I guess so. Uh...Twilight?"

Twilight smiled "Sure! I'm ok with this!"

AppleJack put hoof to her chin "Ah dunno...Can mah sister come?"

Vlad shrugged "Ask Twilight, not me"

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash appeared behind human "Whatever this game is...I will make sure to have my revenge"

Vlad sweated a bit "Uh...As you wish..."

Pegasus smiled and flew out of library, scaring Fluttershy.

Pinkie Pie appeared behind Vlad as well "Oh, can I-"

Vlad finished "-bring food and other stuff?...Ask TWILIGHT, not me!"

Everypony started talking to Twilight about tomorrow's game. They came upstairs and asked what did they need to bring.

Vlad shrugged "Well, it doesn't require anything...Bring whatever you want I guess?"

Suddenly, Rarity gasped "Darling, how did you fix your shirt?"

Vlad pulled his arm up. Sleeves were untouched.

Human shrugged "Magic...No seriously, I fixed it with magic"

Twilight and Lyra turned their faces to Vlad...They looked interested.

Human sighed "Ah shimata..."

Sooner, everypony left except Vlad, Twilight, Lyra and Spike.

Before unicorns could ask anything, Vlad turned around and waved his hand "Nuh uh! Only one question!"

Lyra pointed her hoof at Vlad's arm "How did you bypass my magic?"

Twilight and Spike gasped "He did WHAT?!"

Vlad put damaged arm to his chin "Well, it's quite fragile from inside. I just focused all of my mana in one place and...You know what happened next. Though if you focused just a bit more, I wouldn't be able to open it"

Lyra cringed "Lucky me...Thank you again..."

Vlad shrugged "You are welcome"

Twilight put hooves on her head "Just HOW do you know so much about magic...You didn't even have it in your world!"

Vlad put palm to his face "I have the power of-"

Twilight did a facehoof "Not again..."

Sooner, Lyra left. Vlad asked her about visit, but she said that had enough for today. Spike went upstairs to sleep.

Vlad was going too, but Twilight stopped him "Uh...Vlad, can we talk?"

Human turned around "Sure thing" they sat on the couch "What seems to be the problem?"

Twilight pointed at his arm "This! You are endangering yourself too much!"

Vlad shrugged "Well, at least Lyra is safe and sound!"

Twilight looked at human with sad face "You are getting hurt way too often...I just want my friends to be safe...I don't want anypony to be hurt..." she looked down.

Vlad sighed "Twilight it's-"

Twilight looked back at human with tears "No it's not! I shouldn't have send you to AppleJack for those stupid researches...It's my-"

Vlad put his hand on her head "Twilight, how would you know that would happen? I mean...Are you Diavolo or something?"

Twilight got confused "Wh-..Ohhh~"

Vlad started to pet her "What about this. If I get hurt, I'm granting you a wish, hm?" he winked "You have one right now by the way"

Twilight wiped tears away "Yeah...sniff...I accept your offer" she thought for a second "Uhm...Could you continue..?"

Vlad blinked few times "Wait...Did you actually like uhh..." he was confused "Alright I guess?"

Twilight smiled "Tha-...Oh~ Right there..."

Vlad moved his hand behind her ears "You ponies are so soft...Like marshmallows"

Twilight closed her eyes in delight "I never thought it would feel so good...Those arms of yours..."

Vlad sighed "Man that's getting awkward..." he pulled his palm away.

Twilight blinked few times "Oh...I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable..."

Vlad shrugged "It's fine...So uhm...Night?"

Twilight yawned "Night..."

Vlad stood up and walked upstairs.

'I wonder what Luna will do with my hair tonight..."

Vlad washed himself and went into his room. After making himself comfortable, he closed his eyes and fell asleep...
