The six ponies arrived upon Castle Flankula being guided Bianca. She was just as frightened as much as the six were. Pinkie Pie was scared as they entered. However, the count was expecting their arrival.
"So they have arrived." he stated to himself. "I'll give them something as a welcoming gift." Using his arcane ritual, summoned a demon. "I know that one of them doesn't think you exist." Flankula stated to the demon. "I would like you to prove them wrong." The demon flew toward the party. "That will keep those ponies busy while I prepare for my wedding with Rarity." Then, he laughed a sinister laugh.
"This place gives me the creeps." Pinkie Pie stated.
"I know." Fluttershy replied. "But we need to keep moving. At least, we won't have to face a full-sized dragon." Then, Rainbow Dash suddenly stopped as she noticed something. She went over to it. All she saw was a orange flame.
"Oh," Rainbow Dash stated. "A fire." But then, she noticed that the flame turned blue. She looked at it in confusion. Twilight looked back and saw Rainbow was behind.
"Rainbow," Twilight asked. "Is everything all right?"
"Just a blue flame. That's all." Rainbow Dash returned to the group.
"A blue flame." Bianca asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
"There are spirits around here." Bianca was scared.
"How many times do I have to tell you? There is no such thing as ghosts." Then, a box came out of nowhere and hit Rainbow. "Who did that?" There was no response. "Come out and show yourself."
"Mareaxe." a voice stated but there was no one there to say it.
"Who's there?" Pinkie Pie was extremely terrified.
"Souls of the damned," Then, a green bolt shot into the ground. "Rise from your grave and feast upon the living." Then, a whole bunch of ghouls rose out of the ground. The undead saw the ponies and charged at them. Pinkie was terrified.
"Oh my god, this is not happening." Rainbow said. "This is just a bad dream." Then, Applejack pinched her. "Applejack, that hurt."
"You're awake, Rainbow." Applejack explained. "This isn't a dream; this is real."
"Then, we will have to fight them then." Then, the girls had to fight the undead. Fluttershy needed help from Ifrit. He was slashing undead after undead.
"Everybody," Ifrit stated. "Get behind, Ifrit." And everyone did. He jumped into the air, threw down massive fireballs at the undead. This knocked them into the air. He then launched one from his mouth. The undead were suspended in the air. Then, after landing, he grabbed and lifted a huge chuck of rock from the ground and threw it at the suspended enemies instantly killing them. "Ifrit is victorious." But they noticed more of the dead rising from the grave.
"There is no choice." Twilight stated. "If we keep fighting the undead, we might be too late. Two of us must go ahead."
"I'll go." Pinkie Pie stated.
"I'll go too." Fluttershy stated. "I am responsible for my actions. Ifrit stay here to help the girls."
"Ifrit will follow the orders of lady Fluttershy." As the undead charged the group fought back, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie went ahead to save Rarity. Before they were able to reach the upper chamber of the castle, they encountered the trall.
"You will never get past me." the trall stated.
"We'll get past you." Pinkie Pie stated. The trall noticed a bug going by and crushed it.
"What are you doing with that poor insect?" Fluttershy stated. The trall put the now dead insect on a cupcake.
"Hey, Pinkie." The trall stated. "I'll share this incest with you."
"That's just sick, man." Pinkie Pie shouted.
"Oh, is that so. Then I will force you to eat it then." The trall charged and Pinkie threw him out the window. He fell a few hundred feet before getting impaled by the spikes below.
"What was that thing about?" Fluttershy asked.
"I ended up eating a cockroach when I was younger. It tasted terrible."
"But shouldn't we rescue Rarity?"
"Oh yeah; we'll discuss this later." And they continued to the chamber. When they arrived at the chamber, it was a very gothic chamber with a larger coffin for Flankula. They noticed a smaller coffin was prepared for Rarity. They noticed the two over in the center of the room.
"Now, Rarity." Flankula stated. "Are you ready to become my bride?"
"I am ready, master." Rarity replied. She was still under the control of Flankula. The undead stallion was ready to bite Rarity. Then, Fluttershy was able to get a golden horseshoe to Flankula. He was forced to back off. As he noticed Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
"You have interfered for the last time, ponies!!" Flankula shouted.
[Cue "Boss Battle A" from FFI]
Flankula changed into a bat and swooped at the two intruders. Rarity aided in the assault against the ponies. Pinkie and Fluttershy noticed Flankula still had control over Rarity.
"Rarity," Fluttershy stated. "Please, snap out of it."
"Fluttershy, you handle Rarity." Pinkie stated with her fear of the living dead broken. "I'll handle the vampire."
"Got it."
"Alright, Flankula is now you and me." Pinkie Pie drew her twin daggers.
"Bring it, Pinkie Pie." Flankula stated. "You will die and become my servant this night." They clashed blades.
Fluttershy had to fight Rarity, her friend. She was cautious not to hurt her. Rarity used her magic to chuck books at her and Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy noticed that the necklace that she wore was glowing.
"So, there is the source of the control." Fluttershy thought. She flew around the swirling books. She knocked some of the books away. She was able to get close to her. She used her bow staff to get the necklace on her neck and she was able to grab it. Rarity grabbed the necklace.
"Let go." Rarity stated.
"I'm doing this for your own good."
"But it's my property."
"The necklace is controlling you, and I will not let you die." Then, she was able to remove the jewelry from Rarity's neck. Then, she smashed the necklace. Afterwards, Rarity lost her balance and fainted. Fluttershy went to Rarity "Don't worry Rarity, I will protect you."
Pinkie Pie got some wounds from fighting Flankula and vice versa. The reason being is that Flankula is fast, very fast. She noticed there was light coming from the window. She knew it was the sun. With her motivation higher than before, she fought and had a plan. She lifted a very heavy book and threw it at him. As Flankula was struck, the book covered him. He was getting back up.
"Prepare to be blinded by the light." Pinkie Pie stated. She rushed over to the latch and opened it. Then, lots of light from the morning sun shone in the room on Flankula. He began to sparkle and spark.
"NO!" Flankula stated. "NOT INTO THE LIGHT, IT BURNS!" Then, the spark lit and the vampire burst into flames. He screamed in pain as he collapsed to the floor. He continued to burn until he was nothing but ashes.
[Music Fades]
"We did it, Fluttershy."
"We sure did." Fluttershy responded. The morning light woke up and she returned to normal.
"Uh, what happened?" Rarity asked. She looked around. "And why am I in such a dirty environment?" Fluttershy hugged Rarity. "Fluttershy, I don't know why you are hugging me?"
"We could have lost you."
"I don't know what was going on but okay." Rarity hugged Fluttershy back, but they noticed something in the ashes.
"What's that?" Pinkie went up to the object and grabbed it. The object was a dark blue sphere. Pinkie felt a dark aura around it. She dropped it.
"What is that thing?" Pinkie stated. "There's something evil from that thing." Basil came in from the window. "Basil, where were you?"
"I was held up by a horde of blobs of white glue attacking Baia Mare." Basil replied. "Did you defeat the vampire?"
"Yeah."
"Well, it's mission accomplished." Basil noticed the thing. "What's that thing?" Basil walked up to it.
"It's something that's not good."
He picked it up. "I'm starting to think this is one of the elements of chaos. Didn't Princess Celestia say to remove them."
"Yeah, but how do we do that?" Basil thought.
"I have no idea. Until then, we should hold on to it." Basil picked it up and put it in a bag. Later that day after they returned, the ponies were greatly rewarded for their deeds.
"I thank you so much." Bianca stated.
"Your welcome." Twilight replied.
"I hope we see each other again."
"I hope we do as well. Take care."
"Good bye." Then the seven ponies headed out to face the world and to continue their journey once more.
