//------------------------------// // The Rise of the Elements of Blood // Story: Elements of Blood // by TwinkleSparkle //------------------------------// Back at the Blood Castle, formerly known as the Golden Oak Library, appeared the two faithful servants of the hive queen after successfully finishing their hunt. Both Rarity and Fluttershy laid their respectful preys in front of the Black Throne and bowed to their queen with blood thirsty eyes. Upon the throne, Twilight Sparkle sat with a dark grin upon her face. She stared with content and satisfaction, feasting her eyes with the expansion of her hive with two more of the Elements. However, there is still one more element that needs to be converted before she starts building her kingdom of darkness. She kept this one in particular last for a reason. For that last element is the hardest to be converted, and the most unpredictable of its nature after its conversion. “Well, well,” Said Twilight, lowering herself from her throne and walking gracefully to Fluttershy and Rarity. “I see you have both successfully completed your hunt. Hope you had fun doing it.” “Oh! But of course your majesty.” Said Rarity, giggling a bit to herself. “I didn’t know that being sadistic had such a filling effect upon one’s soul. I had the outmost pleasure in deceiving someone who put his love in me. I just felt so, so alive.” Twilight giggled and said. “Well, I’m glad that you had fun, but.” She paused and took Rarity’s chin in her fingertips and looked her deeply in the eye. “think about deceiving me. And I’ll show you how fun it could be.” “O-of course I would never dream about it your majesty.” Rarity said, gulping and wincing from fear. “Good.” Twilight said with a satisfying grin. “Now, you didn’t speak Fluttershy. Thought you’d be the one who’d enjoyed her hunt the most.” “I just did what was required from me that’s all.” Fluttershy said in a cold tone of voice. “Oh! So you didn’t enjoy yourself?” “Well, I didn’t. I kinda wanted to play with her more. Torture her, make her scream, suck her blood, seeing the look of fear in her eyes. After that I’d say I had fun.” “Well, since you did such a good job in completing your hunt and capturing your victim. I’ll grant you your wish. I’ll be out for a while to take care of the last element needed for our group to be complete. And I trust that our little two friends here won’t be all that happy when they wake up. So why don’t you two greet them when they wake up and have fun while you at it?” “Hahaha, now you’re talking! Thank you your majesty.” Fluttershy said. Her wings rising from excitement. “That would be utterly generous from your part your majesty. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.” “That’s good. It’s a good night for hunting tonight. And my prey won’t be easy to catch. This should be fun.” Twilight said with a giggle that slowly developed to a hearty, almost maniac laughter. Then she regained her composure, turned to the girls and said in a playful tone. “Take good care of the house while I’m out girls.” And she disappeared with a purple flash of magic. “Well, time to start getting this bitch ready for our fun night. Damn I’m feeling horny already.” Fluttershy said as she held her prey on her shoulder and started climbing on the stairs. “Just make sure not to hurt her too much dear.” Rarity said, then she turned to the still unconscious Applejack and laid her on the sofa with her head in Rarity’s lap. “Well, I guess I should have some fun of my own myself.” Sugarcube Corner was as merry a place as it always was. Nothing was out of the ordinary. The cakes were already sleeping, and Pinkie Pie was cleaning up after a long day of work. There was a birthday party today to one of the fillies at school and she knew it would take extra effort on her part to clean the mess that the fillies and foals left behind. Though she was really happy that she made all these ponies smile so she wasn’t really sad about it. However, something was lingering on her mind. Her friends hadn’t come to see her in a while. She was hoping that there were alright but she sensed that there was something off. Even though she couldn’t put her hands on it. That’s why she decided to leave it aside for now and wait for one of her friends to come. To her surprise, a blast of familiar purple magic appeared in the center of the main room revealing Twilight Sparkle. “Hello there Pinkie Pie. It has been a while.” Twilight said with a smug look on her face. “Oh, hey Twilight.” Pinkie said with her cheerful tone. “Nice outfit. Trying your costume for Nightmare’s night?” “No, my dear pinkie. This is my new style from now on. Also, from now on I ‘m expecting from you to call me by ‘Your Majesty’. As I’m now the queen of the new Vampony kingdom that you’ll be a part of.” Pinkie raised her eyebrow, gave Twilight a lengthy look, then she burst out laughing and rolling on the floor. Twilight, however, wasn’t confused in the slightest. She knew that her pink friend over there would certainly take the whole thing as a joke. But Twilight didn’t want to use a low technique like playing along with the joke then turn her. So, with a swift move, Twilight dashed to the side of the laughing Pinkie and gave her a direct blow on the side. Or, almost did. Before the blow reached Pinkie’s side. Pinkie grabbed Twilight’s wrist tightly and smiled wryly at her. “You should try harder than that if you really want to get to me Twily.” Pinkie said, releasing Twilight’s hand and jumping back a little. Twilight was really confused. Not just by the swift way her friend blocked her attack. She knew how Pinkie’s sense works and how fast this pony can move. But she was confused by the look on her face, that smile she wore. “Did you know all along?” Twilight said in a serious tone. “Does it matter Twilight? Come on, it’s no fun if you didn’t take it seriously your MAJESTY.” “WHY YOUUUUUUU?” Twilight yelled while charging in Pinkie’s direction. She shot multiple magic blasts in the direction of her enemy. Pinkie was able to skillfully dodge them all but it put her exactly where Twilight needed her. Twilight gave her a kick on her lower abdomen that sent her flying and broke the counter. “Now, I’ll ask you one more time. How did you know that I was really a vampony queen?” Said Twilight, now standing on top of Pinkie. “Well, that was a good kick Twily, I give you that.” Pinkie said as she rose up from her place. “But if you want to know that badly. I guess you’ll need to force it out of me.” “Then I’ll do just that.” Twilight said as she stepped closer to Pinkie, she was about to give her a blow on the face but she felt severe pain in her abdomen all of a sudden. She wobbled back and looked down to see a knife strike on her belly. “Oh, come on, that won’t kill you right.” Pinkie said cheerfully. Although she wasn’t that cheerful pony anymore. Her mane was flat, her eyes were dark and her color was pale. Twilight saw Pinkie once in this condition before. And that was when she thought her friends abandoned her. Twilight stood up after her wound healed. She looked with a deadpan stare on the mare in front of her. “So, I see you turned to Pinkamena. Why was that?” “Well, after I saw you drinking Rarity’s blood right in front of me. I guess I just snapped. I mean, anypony would snap right. Of course I tried to make myself believe that it was all a bad dream. That nothing of that happened. But your visit just now was more than enough to make me know that it was true. You killed her right?” Twilight smiled a bit. “Well, first I’m sorry you had to see me doing such a gruesome act. But I wouldn’t kill any of my friends. I just improved our little Rarity, as well as the rest of the elements. You’re the only pony left Pinkie. Or should I call you Pinkamena?” “Pinkamena from now on.” Pinkamena said in a completely emotionless voice. “So, I guess there’s no reason for me to fight anymore. If being with my friends means I’ll have to be a monster, then be it. But I need to confirm it for myself first.” “I’ll grant your wish.” Twilight said, moving next to Pinkamena. “No funny business though. Or I won’t hesitate for a second to put a blade in your throat.” With a bright purple flash of Twilight’s horn they both teleported back to the Blood Castle. The other four of the elements were standing as if waiting for the arrival of Twilight. From the looks of it that the two new converted recruits have accepted their new selves rather gracefully. Twilight trotted to her throne and sat on it. “So, have you believed me now Pinkamena.” Twilight said. Pinkamena’s eyes were still scanning the place. Sure her friends were all there. “H- hey guys.” “Hey there Pinkus. Took you some time.” Rainbow said as she lied on the sofa. “Well, it’s Pinkamena you punk okay. And I just wanted to make sure we're all here. Especially when I saw Rarity getting bitten on the neck.” “Oh! You saw that my dear.” Rarity said with a hit of embarrassment. “I’m so sorry, but I’ve never been better myself. I feel so, so alive.” “Well, whatever.” Pinkamena said. “I will convert so make it quick.” Twilight smiled and signaled for Pinkamena to come to her. Then she slowly sank her teeth in the neck of the pink pony. Pinkamena didn’t even let out a sound from the bite. It was like she was enjoying the pain inflected on her. After a while Twilight’s teeth parted from Pinkamena’s neck and pinkmena collapsed on the floor. Twilight wiped her lips from the blood. Then she stood up from her throne. “Now that’s done. I welcome you all back. As you’ve all been reborn. You’re not the Elements of Harmony anymore. From now on you shall be known as The Elements of Blood.”
