The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you will see. ~ Winston Churchill.
As Fang, Ana, and Twilight were on their way to San Franciscolt Fang decided to debrief the other vampony about the her new abilities. "OK Twilight, as you know you are a vampony now. The thing is you also have new powers because of my blessing. You can now see in the dark without magic, have super strength and speed to the point that no normal pony can have, and are very flexible with extremely quick reaction times. Bird!" Fang and Twilight ducked, Ana however just caught the bird with her magic and was hugging it. Fang looked back and saw the scene. "I forgot that Ana loves animals almost as much as Fluttershy."
Ana was just sitting there with the bird, as it turned out, was a Glaceoiseau. An ice version of the phoenix. "Can I keep her cousin Fang? Please? I'll take really good care of her!" She nuzzled the bird and then gave Fang puppy dog eyes and a quivering lip. "Please?" She was also looking at Twilight. Twilight poked Fang and pointed at Ana.
Fang held out for a record amount of time. When it comes to Ana he usually says yes immediately. This time it took him a few minutes. "... Fine... But your taking care of the little bird. What are you going to name it anyway?"
"Yuki! It's Japaneighse for snow! You hear that Yuki? Were going to be best friends forever!" A small necklace appeared around Yuki when Ana's horn began to glow. It was a collar with a name tag that was shaped like a snowflake and had Yuki emblazoned on it. "I named you after myself somewhat. My nickname is The Snow Princess. So I named you Yuki which means snow." She nuzzled the bird again which let out a small squawk. It was very cute watching Ana play with her new pet.
Twilight smiled and nuzzled into Fang's shoulder letting her new fangs shine brightly with her smile. Soon however she felt. Fang's fangs running along her neck, She let out a blissful sigh as one of his wings wrap around her. They just sat like that for a while nuzzling one another until Ana bounced up to them. "Cousin Fang! Twilight! Were here! Were here!"
Twilight looked over the side of the carriage and she saw what she dreaded, a prison in the bay. Alcatrotz. "We are not going to that prison are we?" She shuddered at the thought of being surrounded by some of Equestria's worst criminals.
"No we are going to the main part of the city." Fang leaned over and nuzzled Twilight. He smiled as she relaxed, wiggling into his side. He gave her a little kiss on the neck and she returned the favor. Soon they were just kissing once again.
Ana smiled and poked the two elder alicorns. "Were here! Come on lets go!" Ana then walked out of the carriage that had been parked for the last four minutes. Yuki flew onto her back and looked around. "Hey look! There is a wonderbolt show in town! Can we go see it cousin Fang? Please?" She was her puppy dog eyes again. Fang just sighed and nodded. "Yay!" She ran up and hugged Fang's leg.
Twilight walked up and nuzzled into his side. "I agree with Ana. We should go and see it. I think we should just relax today and look for the key tomorrow." Fang let a small smile grow on his face.
"Yes I suppose a break does sound good." He gave Twilight a little nuzzle and laughed as Ana climbed onto her back. "Where is the show taking place?" Twilight had come here with her parents once and knew that the wonderbolts always used the same stadium. She slowly nuzzled into Fangs side and pointed toward the stadium. "Oh... I knew that." Soon Fang, Twilight, and Ana were off. They reached the stadium and were led straight into the royals box.
Twilight smiled and picked up a pamphlet. "The first event is a race. Says here its Soarin, Fleetfoot, and Spitfire..." She smiled as Ana ordered some hayfries and began to eat. She sat down next to Fang and nuzzled into his side. Fang smiled back and nuzzled her neck.
"And their off! Its Fleetfoot in the lead, quickly overcome by Soarin and Spitfire! It's neck and neck between the two as they go around the first bend! Wait whats this!? Spitfire is closing her wings! Shes must be trying to fake out Soarin into thinking shes tired!" Spitfire was not tired. She was afraid of what she had just seen. "And Soarin wins by a mile! That race was honestly Spitfire's until she slowed down! I wonder why she did that." Spitfire was now walking off the track with Fleetfoot and Soarin next to her, one on each side.
Twilight just smiled and snuggled farther into Fang's side. "See isn't this fun Fang? Ana is having a good time and I am to."
Fang just smiled. "Yes this is fun." He wrapped on wing around Twilight and pulled her closer. The other was holding Ana close to them. "I could get used to this." The rest of the show went off without a hitch. It was only after the show that the key appeared. They were walking out of the stadium when they saw Spitrtfire slip away from the rest of the wonderbolts. Letting their curiosity get the better of them they followed at a distance.
Spitfire walked into a ally and slowly approached a pegasus filly. The filly was bound and gagged. She was crying and shaking her head as Spitfire approached. "I'm glad your OK kid." Spitfire reached down and took the gag out of the fillies mouth. The gag was a sock.
"Sis behind you! Its a trap!" Spitfire turned around and was met with the sensation of her feathers being singed. The filly sighed. "Told you... Help!"
Spitfire growled. "What do you want from me Volcanalis!? I already have my kid sister back, so there is nothing you can do to keep me from going to the guard!"
The orange earth pony named Volcanalis just chuckled. "Oh there is one thing I can do... I can take your life!" His body shifted and began to resemble lava. He was about to belch lava onto Spitfire and the filly to kill them when he was met with a sword through the back. "So I guess the monster king has come to your rescue. Next time you wont be so lucky!" He melted away and into a sewer pipe before reforming and running away from the scene. Fang bent down and picked up the key he left behind. He then turned around and walked off as Spitfire and the little filly just stared.
Spitfire was comforting her sister as she looked at Fang. "Thanks dude!"
Fang smiled. "Don't thank me. Thank Princess Twilight. She suggested we follow you." He then walked off to Twilight and Ana with the key.
Twilight smiled. "See? We had fun and you got the key! Now lets go get those recipes!" She giggled as Fang nuzzled her before she herself nuzzled into his side. Fang slowly wrapped a wing around her and the other around Ana as they walked off. "... Fang I don't think we saw thee last of that Volcanalis pony. We should be prepared for a being made of lava attacking Ponyville in the future."
Fang nodded. "Yes he is most likely angry that he was not able to kill Spitfire and will attack me or somepony close to me as a way of getting revenge."
Ana just hopped onto Fang's back. She had somehow gotten a hold of a sandwich. "Can we go get something to eat now?" Fang and Twilight just laughed as they walked into the nearest diner.
Meanwhile, without them knowing, the archdemon Sir Kneighf was watching from one of the roof tops. He was eating a hay burger. "So the monster king is after Sombra's keys... He will have to fight me for mine sooner or later." He chuckled as he looked down at the key he held. It was black with a red tip. Just like Sombra and his horn. He let out a small chuckle before getting up and walking away.
