		Earlier
Spike had just finished sweeping the library, and thus completing everything on his chore list, when all of a sudden he heard the sounds of ponies screaming and a loud knock on the door. Spiked put his broom down and walked over to the door to answer it. It was none other than Applejack who carrying a bleeding Rarity in her arms. Spike went wide eyed and his heart skipped a beat.
“What happened!?” Spike asked. Applejack didn't answer right away, instead she put Rarity on the couch.
“Spike!” Applejack yelled. “Get the first aid kit!” Spike ran into the kitchen to do just that. Twilight came down stairs after hearing all the noise and saw Rarity, covered in blood
“What happened?” She yelled, alarmed at her friends current state.
“Rarity was attacked by a...I don't know but Rainbow is in trouble.” Applejack answered as Pinkie pie pop up out of the floor board, shaking dirt of of her hair, and nearly scaring Applejack to death.
“Rainbow is in trouble!? Well then what are we waiting for, let's go!” Pinkie said as she practically flew out of the door. Applejack decided to wait some other time to figure out how Pinkie got under the floor and followed her. Twilight stopped at the door and looked back at Spike, who was rapping Rarity's neck with bandages he got from his first aid kit. Twilight placed her hand on the young drake's shoulder.
“Don't worry, Spike. We'll take care of her when we get back okay?” Twilight gave spike a sincere smile which Spike returned with his own. He looked back and started stroking Rarity's hand while Twilight ran out of the door, ready to give who ever is responsible a piece of her mind.
Right now
Troy held Pinkie up by her neck and started squeezing as she gasped for breathe. Applejack and Rainbowdash ran towards him. "Put her down!" Applejack shouted. Troy simply looked at them.
"Gladly." He said and he threw her into the two other mares, causing them all to fall over. Meanwhile, Spike had just sent the letter Twilight wrote to the princess.
“Twilight, I'm freaking out here. What's going on? What happened to Rarity?” Spike asked, his voice full of concern. Twilight sighed and decided to explain everything. Spike clenched his fist and gritted his teeth “Where is he?! I'm gonna make pay for he did to Rarity!” He yelled, running towards the door with fire bellowing from his nostrils. Twilight stopped spike with her magic and brought him back over to Rarity's side.
“Spike we already have him captured, there's nothing you can do except care for Rarity.” Spike crossed his arms, but his anger was interrupted when he belched up a letter from Celestia herself.  
Twilight took the letter and read as followed:
'Dear Twilight,
I'm glad you brought this to my attention. If it is possible, I need you to bring the creature to Canterlot. He might have a connection to our guest. Please be careful.
Love, Celestia.'
Twilight rolled up the letter. “Alright Spike, I'm going to deliver our 'guest' to Princess Celestia. Stay here with Rarity.” Twilight said. Spike nodded as Twilight left the library, leaving the young drake alone with the still unconscious Rarity.
“Oh Rarity, if I could I would beat that monster till he's an inch from death.” Spike said, but he noticed that Rarity was starting to stir.
As soon as Twilight got there, she was shocked to see that the cage was empty and the girls were lying on the ground. "What happened?" Twilight asked as she helped them up.
“Sorry Twi, but he got the jump on us then-“ Applejack started, but was cut off by Pinkie Pie.
“Then he asked us where the alien princess is! At first I didn't wanna say anything, but then his eyes started glowing and I wanted to tell him everything! Like how I can get chocolate cake on a discount, and that I wore panties on my head for a week that one time, and that I was in a one pony band in high school, and-” Then Rainbow dash interrupted.
“And Pinkie told him where Canterlot was, and the freak turned into a giant bat and flew straight towards the city!” Rainbow finish as she pointed in the direction he flew in. Twilight's ears fell flat.
“Oh no. We have to get to the city, fast. Rainbow get Fluttershy, we'll meet at the train station.” The girls nodded and went their separate ways. Troy, as a bat, flew towards the city on the on the side of the mountain. While flying, a number of questions where flowing threw his head. How did know he could turn into a bat? How did he get turned into a vampire?
“What the hell happened to me? I wonder if that weird light had anything to do with it? I'll figure it out ounce I get Abby back.” Troy thought to himself as he flew down to the busy streets of Canterlot. As soon as he reached the city, he flew into an alley way and changed back into his original form. He looked at himself the a window and saw what he now looked like. His skin was slightly pale, almost blue. His ears were now pointed, his eyes were yellow instead of green and his black suit and matching cape were made of real cloth. Troy pulled on his fangs to see if the would come out but they didn't, they were real too.
"Maybe this isn't real. Maybe this a dream or some bodies idea of a sick joke." Troy tried to rationalize. “No, this city, these ponies, its gotta be real and my sister could be being held prisoner I have to find her and get us out of this James Cameron bull shit.” With his resolve in mind Troy walked of the ally way and soon caught the attention of every pony around.
"Who is that?” One of them whispered. “And what is he wearing? Is Gothic back in style? He certainly doesn't look like a pony. He must be another alien.” The whispering was bothering him, but what really drove him crazy was that he could hear their thoughts. There were so many voices in his head, all talking about him at ounce that he couldn't take it any more.
“SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP, I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK!” Troy screamed causing the ponies to back away in fear. He realized what was happening and took a deep breath. “Look I just want to...”
“Get away from us!” One mare said as Troy walked closer to them. “Somepony call the royal guard! Get that lunatic out of here!”
“Hey I'm just trying find...” Troy was cut off again when he felt a hand wrap around his arm.
“Sir your coming with me.” A large stallion said. He was brown and wore what looked like a cross between a knight and roman armor that was gold colored. He had one hand on Troy and the other on his sword, which has hanging by his hip. Troy felt his anger coming up and began to resist.
“Get your hand off me.” Troy threatened
"No, your coming with me right now!” The armored stallion said.
“Yeah, lock that freak up! Get him off our streets!” The ponies scream. Finally Troy lost it again.
“I said get your hands off me, YOU DAMN DIRTY HORSE!” He screamed as he punched the guard in the face, sending him flying across the street. Troy's eyes turned black and his face contorted into a more demonic look. He growled and started to attack the guard again. The guard quickly got to his hooves and unsheathed his sword. He tried to swing it at him from the side, but Troy garbed the foolish stations arm and squeezed breaking his wrist.
“AAAARRRRGH!” The stallion screamed as he felt his bones snap as easily as a toothpick. Troy then punched him in the face again, followed by a knee to the stomach. Finishing his assault he bit down on the stallions throat, ripping it out. The stallion fell to the ground and, to every pony's horror, Troy began to feed on the stallion. He drank until his stomach couldn't take in anymore. He threw his head up and gasped at the sensation he just felt, then turned his monstrous gazed towards the crowd who the proceeded to scream and panic. Troy turned his sights on a castle that was within walking distance and proceeded towards it, leaving the corpse of the stallion behind. As he headed towards the castle more armored soldiers charged him.
Celestia, at a small table, was sitting in a large white room full of toys and books. Her only company was a small child with blond hair, a silver tiara and wearing a blue sparkling dress. She was not a pony but rather she was, as she called herself, a fairy. She was levitating a group of blocks into a tower using only simple hand gestures. “That's quite impressive. Your magic is improving faster that we had expected.” Celestia said, but the little girl didn't seem to care. She kept stacking more blocks.
“I guess so...have you found my brother?” She asked. Celestia gave her a sad look.
“I'm sorry Abby, we have not found him yet. Don't worry, we're doing everything we can to find him.” Celestia assured.
“Can I help? Can I go outside? I don't wanna be hear anymore.” Abby said. Celestia's expression changed from sad to worried.
“Abby, you know you can't leave. As I told you, your magic is unstable. You need to learn to control it before...” Abby stood up.
“I DONT WANT TO CONTROL IT, I DONT WANT TO LEARN, I WANT MY BOTHER!" Abby screamed. Her fairy wings began to flutter and as they did, her eyes flashed pure white and the room began to shake. Soon the mini earth quake she caused died down and tears ran down her eyes. "I want to go home" Abby sobbed. Celestia pulled Abby into a gentle hug and began to stoke hair.
“I know baby...I know.” Celestia said. However this moment was interrupted by a guard pegasus stallion knocking on the window. “Look I need to attended to this but when I get back will talk about going outside okay?” Celestia said giving a her the warm, motherly smile she was known for. Abby sniffled as Celestia wiped her tears away.
“Okay” Abby said. Celestia gave her a kiss on her forehead and walked towards the door.
"Don't forget to practice" She reminded her, Abby only nodded and went back to levitating her blocks. Celestia closed the door behind her and addressed guard standing before her. “What is it soldier?” Celestia asked.
“Ma'am, we have a situation in the city. Reports are coming in that some kind creature is attacking the citizens and has killed one of the guards.” Celestia went wide eyed at this.
“What kind of creature? What does it look like?” She asked as her voice grew louder.
“Eye witnesses state that it almost resembles the small alien but its very strong and hostel.” Celestia began to feel fear for the first time in centuries as a idea came into her head that she hoped would be wrong.
“Where is the creature now?” She asked hesitantly.
“Its headed this way ma' am" The guard answered.
“Oh no, Abby might be in danger! Take the princess to my sister and tell her to go to the danger room I will deal with creature myself.” The guard saluted and went over to Abby's room. “If it is after her, then  I will not let it hurt her or anypony else.” Celestia thought as she teleported away.
“Miss Abby. You must come with me at once.” The guard ordered.
“Whats going on?” Abby asked, but the guard just walked over and grabbed her.
"I need to take to Princess Luna right away." 
“Wait stop, your hurting me!” Abby screamed.
“We need to go!” The guard ordered.
“No!” Abby Screamed.
“I said lets go!” the guard pulled her up, but the room started shaking and a bright yellow light flashed from her body
“NO!” She yelled as the guard was pushed out of the window and into the wall. The guard fell unconscious as Abby  ran out of the room towards a large window where she could see the city and heard the screams of frightened ponies. Her gazed shifted towards Celestia, as she was flying down towards some thing. Even though she was told not to, Abby decided to give her wings a test run. Abby flapped her fairy wings as hard as she could and proceeded to jump out of the window.
Meanwhile another armed guard charged towards Troy, but he garbed him by his head and twisted it at 180 degree angle. With all forces that dared oppose taken care of, he marched towards the two large front doors of the castle. He suspected his missing sister was in there somewhere and he was about find out when a golden laser shot down in front of him.
"Halt creature!" Troy looked up to see a flying, white mare wearing a white and gold dress, looking down on him. She had a horn and wings just like the purple one back in Ponyville, except she looked taller than her and had a stronger wave of energy coming from that he didn't like. She touched down in front of him, blocking his path. He noticed that her hair was rainbow colored and flowed in a non existent wind. Troy finally spoke.
"Whats wrong with your hair?" Celestia was stunned by that question for a brief moment but soon regained her focus.
“What are are you, and why do you attack my citizens?” Troy didn't answer right away, he was to busy staring at her body. She had long legs, wide hips, a small waste and breasts that could give Rarity's an inferiority complex. They were that big.
Celestia grew impatient and yelled, “This is the last time I'll repeat myself. Why are you here!?” Troy looked up at the castle and gave his answer.
“I lost someone, a little girl, and I think she's in there. So would you please kindly tell me where she is?” Celestia felt a bead of sweat slide down her head.
“I knew it. He is after Abby.” Celestia thought. “What do you want with her?” She asked. Troy looked at her with a serious and stern expression.
“I'm going to take her home where she belongs, and I''d appreciate it if you stand aside.” he explained.
“I'm afraid I can't do that. You attacked my citizens, my soldiers, and my former student and you will be punished accordingly.” Troy looked at her like she was crazy. Was sh actually going to challenge him?
“Lady, you do not want this fight.” He warned her.
“Oh, but I do. If you wish to get through those doors...” Celestia clapped her hands together then pulled them apart revealing an orb of yellow light that morphed into a golden sword. “you'll have to get through me!” Celestia declared. Troy gritted his teeth and felt his anger rising like a volcano ready to blow.
“Your really gonna make me do this. After all the shit I went through today, your really make me fight you? FINE! YOU WANT ME, YOU GOT ME!”
Abby struggled to keep herself in the air, but managed to keep herself from falling to the ground. She looked and saw two individuals having a stand off. Abby hid behind a wall and looked to see what was happening. “I am Princess Celestia, regent of Equestria. And who might you be addressed as?” Celestia asked, pointing her sword towards him.
Troy looked at her. “My named is...” Even though he wanted to say his real name one other name came into mind, one he felt comfortable with. He flashed a horrific smile. “My name is...Dracula.”
