I could see the cottage of my mom ahead of us but before I could rush in Star Secret stopped me. "Winter be careful I have a bad feeling about this."
I look around wondering why she became so nervous and had to admit for a town infested by undead it's was too quiet. We barely saw any ghouls on our way here and now all the ghouls that was supposed to be threatening my family were nowhere to be seen.
Then without warning a shadow appeared in the streets a few meters away from us the shadow began to rise and soon took the form of a familiar undead stallion. He looked frightened for a second as he looked around but when his eyes caught us he relaxed.
"Oh it's just the two of the elementalistes I was warned about. For a second I through I had felt... Her."
Her? What did he meant by that?
"You know you ponies are just delicious, this town is quite a feast for me and my ghouls maybe I should install my kingdom here when the Reapers conquer the council." He said with an arroguant smirk.
"How dare you killed these innocent ponies?! Give them back their magic or else!"
He looked blankly at me before laughing hysterically. "You think a teenager could kill me the last pure vampire of Equestria? Don't make me laugh even the Mortal Dreamer wasn't able to kill me."
Wait what? But I through Roxanne died way before the creation of Equestria.
'You forgot that Time Skip was a member of my team.' A voice suddenly said out of nowhere.
Roxanne? What are you doing in my head?
Instead of answering my question she continue. 'Kira hate undeads with a passion and believe it or not but the undeads wasn't a creation of Author they were created by magical anomalies. So Kira tasked us to eradicated them because of us thing like living skeletons and liches are now unheard of. But to be sure we did our job right we traveled in the future in 1200 A.W there we found the vamponies and slayed them, but when it was time to finished the last of them the last one beg me to spare him and then instead of a bloodthirsty monster I saw myself after I lost my family. Instead of killing him I imprisoned him in a paint but look like he escaped.'
Why did you told me all this Roxanne?
''I'm sorry to ask you this but convincing him to stop the attack won't work if you want to save your town you will have to slay him. Doing so should free all the magic he ate and save the ponies he killed before they're permanently gone.'
'I would have like to take control and take care of him myself but as long as your power are hold back by your emotions I can't make contact with our spark let's hope the training with Snowdrop will suffice.'
"Hey kid you there? Did my sexy voice made you go nuts?" The vampire asked with a grin that I replied with a disgusted groan.
"Now if you excuse me I have to find Discord." He didn't have long to wait before somepony interupted his search.
"You're searching for me Dracula?" Said a draconequus lazily napping on a tree.
Titiritero glared dangerously at Discord, "Don't ever call me that again, I am a conqueror, all Dracula ever did was to lure people in his castle and eat them."
"Whatever you say I don't really see the difference."
"I was asked to bring you alive, don't make me fail my mission." He hissed at the lord chaos.
"As if you could even catch me to begin with." With that Discord jumped off the tree and began to fly away. Titiritero cursed before running after him.
Star Secret turned her attention back at me. "He ran away, now what do we do?"
"We go check on my family after I'm sure they're safe I'm going after Titiritero."
- - - - -
As soon as I entered I was assault by two pair of hooves wrapping themself around me. "Winter we were so worried about you!" My mother exclaimed.
"I'm glad you're okay I was afraid those ghouls hurted you after you fell into that house." My sister said with a relieved expression.
Then Two ponies caught my eyes my supposedly 'best friend' and my ex fillyfriend. Sweet Tooth looked down at the floor with regrets showing in her expression while Golden Pie looked at me sadly she was about to speak but was interupted by Meek Sky.
"Winter we have to do something! Leaf said he was going to drive Titiritero away but he will be killed for sure he arleady saved me and I can do nothing to pay him back. I'm not good with my powers like you are, it's Phoenix the expert of the two of us and Ponyville has suffer enough it doesn't need another monster."
So Leaf was the Discord in the tree? That explained why he flew instead of just teleporting away. But the question remain where is the real Discord?
As if she had heard the question my mom answered. "Discord left with Celestia and Twilight on Saddle Arabia shorlty before the attack Titiritero won't find him here but I'm afraid he will come back here at any moments you know how carefree he is. And Titiritero magic nullify the shards of life so Discord won't be able to resist against him if he does come back."
Carefree isn't the description I would give him I would say he's more of a madman than anything else but whatever float her boat.
"Don't worry about your coltfriend Meek Sky I will catch Titiritero before he can do anything!" And with that I flew out of the cottage with determination.
Meek Sky quietly screamed "He's not my coltfriend!... Yet." she said the last part barely louder than a whisper.
Fluttershy nervousely looked at her daughter. "hum... Dream said that he wanted to have a talk with that colt when he come back."
"Eep!"
- - - - -
'Discord' flew as fast as he could but the speed the vampire could jump from rooftop to rooftop was incredible. The shapeshifter looked behind him and sighed in relief when he saw nopony behind him only to gasp when he turned around and saw Titiritero waiting in front of him.
"Hey dude! Long time no see Disco." When the draconequus looked at him blankly he sighed.
"No one is falling for my persona anymore pity. Anyway Discord I give you a chance you know as well as I that the shards don't work on me so give up and your death won't be painful."
'Discord' responded by slapping Titiritero with his tail. "If that what you want be my guest." the draconequss began to summon magic in his palm and glared menacingly at the vampire. Titiritero looked at him bored. "Your magic do nothing to undead what are you trying to do?"
In response he threw the magic at Titiritero in response the undead stallion sat there with an unimpressed expression that is before the magic came crashing down on him and sent him crashing on the wall of a house.
"What? Your magic isn't suppose to touch me! And if your magic was able to touch me why would you use basic magic attacks? Unless..."
'Discord' didn't let him finish his through and sent an attack after another burying the vampire in the ground deeper and deeper. When he stopped the attacks he was left panting and Titiritero was now three feets under the ground.
The shapeshifter sighed in relief when the battle seemed to be over, but lowering his guard would be his downfall. A Pegasus ghoul came crashing into him. Once bot of them were on the ground three other ghouls came running one of them was a Earth Pony the other two were humans.
They all hold him on place 'Discord' struggled afraid they would bite him or worst suck his magic. That when he began to hear thuds.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *CRASH!*
After the third thud the ground explode and Titiritero appeared from the hole panting and snarling at the draconequus. "You're such a pain in the flank I was suppose to bring you alive but I suppose Grim Reaper won't mind too much if I just bring your magic."
With that Titiritero opened his mouth wide and began to suck in 'Discord's' magic the draconequss tried to struggle when he saw that wasn't working he tried another option. Suddenly a green fire enveloped his body. The ghouls caught fire they did nothing to stop it they didn't even scream as their body were turned into ash.
When the fire was gone all that was left was a strange pony with bug wings, fangs and a black horn.
"A hybrid huh? I expected a changeling but I never through ponies were crazy enough to reproduce with parasites."
"You're one to talk you meany."
"Oh I know I'm a monster and that why there no vampire hybrids in Equestria only humans would be insane enough to love a monster."
"My mom and my fillyfriend are not insane! Nopony insult my family! I will show you why I am considered the best shapeshifter in Equestria!"
He was engulfed in flammes once again this time when the fire died down a mighty lion stood in front of the vampire roaring in rage.
The lion jumped in front of the vampire and tried to hit him with his claws Titiritero tried to avoid them but one of the claw left a scar on his face. "You stupid feline! Have you no respect for the deads?!" He said before punching Leaf with a hoof filled with red energy the magic blew Leaf away and he was forced out of his Lion form as he tried to stay conscious.
Titiritero approached his prey licking his lips as he does. "I don't like changeling blood but maybe you have enough pony DNA in your vein to make this enjoyable."
Before the undead stallion could fulfilled his threat Leaf change form once again this time he was a midnight blue Unicorn filly wearing a pair of glasses and had a phoenix cutie mark.
"Ahahahah! What is this? Do you think I will be afraid of the appearance of a small filly, 'oh I'm so afraid what if she throw flowers on me I will be doomed'. Ahahaha!"
Leaf growled as the monster mocked the appearance of his fillyfriend but grinned a second later, maybe he had a chance to actually beat this fool if he underestimate his powers.
Without warning Leaf threw a fireball at Titiritero the vampire escape the attack just in time. What? He's a elementalist but why didn't he used his power earlier and why did he change into a filly to use them? He through to himself with confusion.
Leaf sent a volley of smaller fire ball titiritero jumped in the air to try to dodge them but some of them caught in his cape. "No! Not my precious cape!" He furiously stomp on it once he landed on the ground to try to stop the fire from spreading further.
Leaf had now a sandy colored coat, pink eyes, a blue and green mane and a sea pony cutie mark. "You want help with that?" He said with my voice. Then he send a wave of water that send the vampony crashing once again.
"Enough is enough, you will die!" Titiritero at his turn send a volley of red spiritual orbs at Leaf.
Leaf changed his form to Star Secret and the attacks passed through him as if it was nothing, then he change himself once again this time he was the king of trolls Ayagi.
The green monster sent hundred of needles at Titiritero the vampire screamed in pain as numerous of them touch their target. I-Impossible he can take the power of anyone he transform into? How is that possible?
Leaf kept a stern composure but inside he was desperate. I need to finish this and fast almost all my magic is gone, hopefully Titiritero didn't saw the people I turned into in the past if he had he would have noticed my copies are way less powerful than the original elementalistes. I can't even freeze water or control the fire like Meek Sky and Winter do.
Titiritero closed his eyes in concentration and within seconds a ghoul Pegasus land before him. Without warning he began to suck the magic out of the undead and it quickly turned into ashes. All the needles in Titiritero pop out of his body and he regain a part of his power back.
"let finish this so I can search for the real Discord."
A red orb formed in his hooves and when it was big enough he threw it at Leaf, The hybrid was able to dodge it but it was useless as soon as it touch the cottage behind him it exploded sending Leaf on the ground and unconscious.
"Let's hope this parasite has more magic than this ghoul." But before he could reach Leaf a hoof connected with his jaw and he was sent on his back.
In front of him stood a teenage filly he ditched earlier glaring at him angrily but also with a hint of determination. "Miss me motherbucker?"
