//------------------------------// // Chapter 13 // Story: Pegazo Vampir Equinae // by Gecko //------------------------------// “What are you doing here?” “Why are you the leader of an underground society!?” Both of them stopped shouting at each other very quickly and just looked at each other, not saying a single word as they just stared. Rainbow looked at them, they didn’t move, they just looked. The air was incredibly tense, until something happened. “I am here because Rainbow Dash here asked me to get something that we need for a special thing I’m not going to talk about.” Twilight said as she crossed her forelegs in annoyance at her father. “Good for you... Besides, I am not the leader of an underground society. I am the owner of the black market! Located in this very building!” Twilight’s father shouted with gusto, it hit Twilight in the face, so to speak. Rainbow continued to look at them. She didn’t get it, but it must be weird though, having your father lead the black market. “And for what possible reason do you think that’s any better? It’s almost worse! It’ not illegal to have an unknown society, except if you do something incredibly stupid. And just like that, I lost the respect for my father.” Twilight said, stomping into the ground, emphasizing her point with the pound in the ground. “You think? Well that’s too bad, is it not? Sadly, I cannot allow you two to leave, you know who I am and I don’t want to go to jail, you understand don’t you?” He said with a sinister smile. Rainbow could really feel that this was going to get bad, really, really fast. Rainbow quickly turned around to go out the door, but just as she did, it was completely blocked by some of the grunts. “Yeah, well no, you’re not living in this place. I am so sorry, Twilight, but I cannot allow it. And I know your weakness, daughter of mine.” He said with a sinister smirk. “And what on the face on Equestria could that be?” Twilight shouted with an angry voice. “You have no chance against me and you know it! You shouldn’t underestimate my friend here either!” She exclaimed, her father simply smirked back. “I know that, I have no physical or magical chance against the two of you, and I certainly haven’t underestimated you. There is one thing you never expect, and that’s the unexpected.” This greatly confused Twilight, but she didn’t have enough time to think through it before she was knocked out with a blunt hit to the back of the head, the same happened to Rainbow Dash. “Yes, daughter, you are so gullible aren’t you?” He said, looking at the two of them, unconscious on the floor. “Put them in a cell... For now. The rainbow one needs to die, but we need to find an easy way to do so, and whatever you do, do not, I REPEAT, do not hurt my daughter in any way, if you do, you’re life will be ruined. Got that!?” He shouted at the grunts, they all grunted in a way to say ‘yes’ and lifted Rainbow and Twilight and carried them out of the room. “Oh, Twilight, why did you have to see this? I don’t want to lock you in a cell, but I have to, and I am sorry for that, so, so sorry.” He mumbled to himself as he started on his continuous paperwork that just became bigger and bigger by the hour. “...What!?” Twilight exclaimed very angrily as she awoke in a white room with nothing special to it, except for the incredibly large metal door that obviously was the way out. Twilight surveyed the room and found Rainbow, still unconscious on the floor, a bit away from her. Twilight trotted over to her and started to shake her body with an intensity that Rainbow woke up almost instantly. “Wake up! We need to find a way out of here!” Twilight shouted in Rainbow’s ear as she had just woken up. Rainbow started to scream as she didn’t know what was going on as she awoke, and then she saw Twilight shaking her, “why are you shaking me?” She said with a very shaky voice, making it very hacky, so to speak. Twilight stopped and blushed slightly, “ehe, sorry about that, I just wanted you to wake up. Because we need a way to  get out of this cell. I really need to get my dad into prison, I can’t condone this.” Her eyes flared with determination, which really touched rainbow for some odd reason. It gave her a respect for Twilight that she already knew existed, but at the same time, it was wonderful to see in action. Rainbow stood up from the ground and looked around the room and saw it as it was. She saw the big metal door and smirked. “Let’s try to smash this door away, shall we?” She laughed a bit as she poured energy into one of her legs, creating ice around it. Rainbow stood up on her back legs, carefully forming the ice into a very spiky form. She charged at the door and smashed the ice into the door. The ice shattered completely, and Rainbow’s face fell and she sighed in defeat. “Well, buck...” Rainbow commented as the ice slowly disappeared. “I was about to tell you that it probably wouldn’t happen. That door is Maginium, a metal with incredibly strong resistance to anything. Magic can’t touch it. So, no, that isn’t going to happen.” Twilight commented with a matter-of-factly voice. Rainbow snorted and walked to wall furthest away from the door. “Now, what on Equestria are you doing now? That’s not going to work, just so you know.” She shook her head, knowing that what Rainbow was about to try wouldn’t work, ever. Rainbow dashed towards the door at an incredible pace, Twilight almost didn’t notice her, she was that fast. She crashed into the door, pulling it from it’s hinges, dragging it to the far wall. There had been two guards outside the door, with half of their bodies blocking the door, so there was an incredible splash as the door slammed into the far wall. Twilight was baffled, that was impossible, and she puked, the sight wasn’t that nice, at all. “Well, that happened.” Rainbow commented as she tried to find the nearest showering room. Apparently, there was a convenient placed shower just next to the cell they had just been in. So Rainbow jumped right for the shower, trying to get all of the blood off of her. It went pretty quickly and she just randomly took one of the closest towels and quickly dried herself off. And just as she finished, Twilight walked into the shower, looking at her. “So, that was impossible, was it? It’s didn’t look like it. But really though, you didn’t account for the wall around the door, that wasn’t maginumum, or whatever you said. It’s good to be impulsive at times.” Rainbow commented with a smirk. “That’s maginium, and no, I didn’t think about that. So yes, being impulsive can be good, at times.” Twilight said, disapproving of Rainbow’s nonchalant reaction. “And that thing that just happen was extremely gross, but you didn’t know that it would happen, so I can’t blame you.” Twilight said with a sigh, Rainbow could only smirk. Rainbow laugh slightly and then commented, “thanks then. Anyway, let’s find your father and get the hay out of here, I don’t like what he does either, we should give him to the police or something.” Rainbow said as she tried to come up with a better way to take care of Twilight’s father in a way that wouldn’t kill him. “Oh, wait... Could I do that to him? Or is that a bad or good thing if I did that to him?” Rainbow said, and Twilight immediately got what Rainbow was hinting at, it was pretty obvious. Twilight’s mouth opened, and she couldn’t utter a word, so she shut her mouth again. and then she had an answer, “well, I don’t know yet, okay? We will see, it all depends on his attitude when we get to him.” Rainbow nodded at this, she was okay with it, it would be good for her if he had the attitude that lead Twilight to say that she could do it. Hse wouldn’t do it otherwise, it wouldn’t be right to Twilight. Rainbow then realised something. Wait, how does the conversion process really work? I mean, is there any specific kind of ponies I need to turn or can it be anypony? I knew that someday you would get that, and it’s easy, my little Alpha. You are becoming stronger though and I approve of that fact. So, onto the point. You see, it has to be a pony that you already have some kind of relation to, it can’t just be a random pony. You already have a slight relation to Twilight’s father, but that’s mostly due to you being a friend of Twilight. So yes, you could turn him. But, in reality, you could turn anypony, but for it to count towards the five you need, it has to be somepony you know personally. Yes, that’s all. Thanks for helping me with that. You are like the huge encyclopedia that nopony ever reads, but you are incredibly useful and I always have a hard time understand what you’re talking about. Rainbow thought in a tone that clearly stated her point about Clover clearly being boring in the way she explains things. Clover laughed before she replied the next time. Yes, I get that a lot, but it’s good to know that you think I’m useful, most vamponies think I’m just their imagination and they’re always wrong. So, it’s good to know that you aren’t as stupid as the other ones. And that’s me going away again. Right, good. Rainbow said as she came back to the world. She saw Twilight staring at her weirdly, so Rainbow simply said, “Clover.” Twilight then immediately ooh-ed, understanding what had just happened. “Well that makes sense then. Right, let’s get going... Wait, what exactly did you just ask Clover?” Twilight asked with curiosity in her voice. “I asked about the conditions of me being able to make ponies vamponies, apparently I need to turn five ponies that I know personally to complete the quota or whatever. Unless I want to become a mindless monster.” Rainbow said as they walked through the corridor. Twilight could only nod in understanding. The only thing the two of them wanted at the moment was to get out of this place, it smelled weirdly. It was a very daft and old smell, almost as if the place hadn’t been cleaned in, like, forever... “Celestia, I really can’t believe what my father is going here, whatever it is, it’s incredibly stupid and we need to stop him.” Twilight said, as she shook her head. Rainbow hummed slightly, she agreed with Twilight, but she didn’t need to comment on what her opinion was, because she totally agreed with Twilight, Sparkle understood this as she nodded. “Anyway, where to go from here?” Rainbow said as they reached a flight of stairs. Twilight looked at the stairs, really thinking through the options. And then she remembered what happened when they came down to her father’s apparent office. “Let’s go up, ‘cause I think we’re on a lower floor than before, we have to be. This is definitely not a higher floor than before, so I think we should be going up.” Twilight finally decided, so that’s what they decided on. As they walked up the stairs, Rainbow got a weird feeling in her gut. She didn’t like what was going to happen next, that was, if something were to happen. She had no proof that anything was about to happen, she just had a very bad feeling about the whole situation. The hideout had too little guards guarding them. It was incredibly suspicious, at least, that was what Rainbow felt. When they came to the next floor, there was a door, Twilight opened it and immediately stopped in her tracks as she saw what was inside. Rainbow had no idea why she stopped, so he pushed Twilight aside and then she saw it. The floor wa a single big room. It was filled with ponies around one big wrestling circle in the middle, Twilight’s father could be seen sitting in a chair on the far side of the room. Rainbow then understood Twilight’s reaction, but instead of stopping, Rainbow decided to react. She started to hover slightly, luckily for her, nopony had seen her yet, She charged right for Twilight’s father, who could see her coming from a mile away, and thus a bodyguard jumped into RD as she flew through the room, immediately knocking her into the wall. “I see, you two are a lot stronger than I though. No matter, I will just have to place you in a higher security cell next time.” He said as everypony in the room stopped completely and the wrestlers in the ring went out of it and dried their sweat. They did this because they knew that something was about to happen. Twilight’s father laughed in a menacing way as some of the grunts grabbed Twilight in her confusion and put a magic blocker on her horn, it was then that she finally reacted to something and she started to resist. “You two don’t know when to stop, do you?” He said with a laugh. And then, something happened near Rainbow Dash. The stallion that had jumped at her flew away from her into the other wall and Rainbow stood up from the floor. Rainbow made a frust, making dust come out of her nostrils as she tried to look angry, but she couldn’t be angry, so she was actually just annoyed. Ponies started going for her, trying to get her to lose the fight. But Rainbow revealed her fangs and most of them quickly got scared at her enhanced appearance. She smirked and laughed to herself. ten different ponies jumped at her, she simply swatted them away from her with a single swipe of the hoof flinging them away from her. Twilight’s father’s mouth went agape for a second and he then regained his composure. “Well, well, well. You are rather well versed in the way of fighting, how about we make a deal?” Rainbow glanced at him, acknowledging that she was in fact listening to him. “Ok then, so, you see, I was thinking, you have quite the ability there, I don’t know what it does, but I don’t really care. But I thought that you probably don’t want to fight too much, so I had an idea. What if, you were to fight for your freedom against our strongest fighter? If you win, I will allow you to get out of here and I will also give you what you came here for in the beginning. If you lose, you have to stay, both of you. How does that sound? If you say yes, please fly into the wrestling circle.” Rainbow looked towards the gagged Twilight as she tried to resist. Twilight saw Rainbow looking at her and she nodded towards Rainbow. Rainbow then flew up into the air and landed in the ring in the middle. Twilight’s father ringed a bell to his side and a door opened. RAinbow looked towards it. Out came a pegasus, he was huge, he was the size of Big Mac the muscles of Snowflake and his wings were almost the size of Celestia. This stallion didn’t look like he had taken any Ponybola Canteroids, it all looked natural and that made him all that more frightening. Rainbow gulped as the stallion landed on the ring with a huge thump. Then Twilight’s father talked up again, “Oh and the fight is to the death. Ready, set, fight!” He shouted. Rainbow’s concentration completely stopped as she realised what he had said. So she missed to black the incoming attack from the stallion, she got knocked into the wall of the ring with an oof. Rainbow then quickly regained composure as she started to plot for what she was going to do with her opposition. He lunged at her with a grunt that almost shook the room due to the deepness of the grunt itself. Rainbow glided under him, due to her being so sleek and then bucked him in the gut. He didn’t even react, he just regained his composure and charged again. Everypony in the room, excepting Twilight, Rainbow and the stallion that Rainbow was fighting, all other ponies laughed and screamed in enthusiasm, they were enjoying the ‘show’. Rainbow dodged to the side, the jumped into his side, he didn’t even get rubbed by her touch, he simply continued to charge until he reached the end of the ring. Twilight’s father guffawed at the sight, he simply knew that the pegasus couldn’t possibly have any chance against the massive stallion. Rainbow kicked away from the stallion and quickly regained her footing. She quickly overlooked the situation and looked at the stallion, she already knew she had to beat him using her speed. She couldn’t match him in strength, she thought. QUICK! Fly into the air and do the icicle thingy that you tried on Luna! It’s the only thing that can work against a pony like him! Rainbow understood the message and tip Clover had just given her, so she flew into the air, leaving the massive stallion in the ring. She started to fly around in a large circle around him as he stood there in the circle, carefully studying her moves. As her speed got to and incredibly speed, she flew towards the furthest wall from the stallion and made a quick turn. She immediately charged energy into her hooves, quickly encasing her in a big icicle of ice that traveled towards the stallion so fast that he has no way to avoid it. It created a hole right in the middle of the stallion, killing him instantly, blood spurting everywhere and the room went silent. Twilight sighed at the sight, she knew that it would come to something like that, her father was a jerk. Rainbow landed in the middle of the ring, looking at Twilight’s father who was simply staring, not believing his eyes. Rainbow’s eyes were emanating determination so Twilight’s father sighed. He motioned at some of the ponies at the corner of the room, they nodded and walked into another room and quickly came back out with buckets of water. They threw the water of Rainbow, cleaning her of all the blood. He motioned at the ponies holding twilight and they let her go and he sighed. “You win, fine. Here you go.” He said as he held up a very small package. Rainbow hovered over to him and grabbed it. She looked over at Twilight who had just been released from her locks. “The door our is simply up two floors and you’re on the ground floor, is that fine?” Rainbow nodded and then winked at Twilight, who immediately get what Rainbow was meaning. Twilight’s horn flared and a pulse filled the room. When the big flash stopped, only Rainbow and Twilight were the ones not knocked out. “Not what I meant, not really, but it worked.” Rainbow said with a laugh as she grabbed Twilight’s father and carried him over to Twilight. “Now, are you going to teleport us to the police station or something?” Rainbow asked as she retracted her fangs. Twilight smiled and flared her horn again. When they appeared again, they were in Twilight’s library and Twilight’s father had disappeared from Rainbow’s grip. Rainbow looked at Twilight in confusion. “He’s in prison, or is going to be, soon. I sent him to the police station in Canterlot with a note telling them about who he was, so he’s probably not coming out of there any time soon.” Twilight said with a smirk, Rainbow replied with a similar smirk as she looked down at the little box, still lying in her grip. “Sure, go and do what you were supposed to do with that.” Twilight said with a smile. Rainbow opened the door to the library and took flight. Place it in a random glade of the Everfree forest, I will get it, so don’t worry about that. Rainbow nodded to herself as she sped up towards the forest. She quickly decided for a glade a bit into the forest, she landed. It was a small glade and she looked for a good burrow or something similar. She found an outcropping in a tree so she place it there with a smile, because she was happy that it was over. Rainbow jumped into the air yet again and looked over the horizon with a sigh and then she heard it. MEAHAHAHAHA! Oh, you have no idea what will happen in two days! Watch out of me, Rainbow Dash. I am Marshall, your maker, so remember me!
