Chapter 04: Tale Of A Vampire & It’s Element
At this time, back at the Apple Festival, Granny Smith, Tough & Big Mac have managed to restock and sale apples, but only the fewest so to not attract the WRONG attention they had before. Until the Vampire Pony sighting is cleared off, all ponies that wanna eat anything that’s an apple will have to eat it INSIDE a wooden gallery with lit torches to keep it lit; cause that way, nothing escapes their sight from the darkness. Course there was a long, LONG line of ponies that wanted to get their favorite apple meals, but must wait to enter and for there to be enough room, and to not have apples outside, it was kinda harsh.
“Gosh Granny, does we gotta be this strict?” Tough asked off in thinking this was a bit much on their part.
“Ye wanna tussle up against dat there Vampire Pony again?” Granny Smith raised an eyebrow in thinking Tough wanna again have another fight with that tough vampire pony.
“Nnnope!” Big Mac replied off in stating his simple answer.
“Nah-Uh!” Tough Apple shook his head in not wanting to fight that monster again.
“Good, then we’s gotta be safe! Especially since them critics are also in town too!" Granny Smith nods her head in stating who was in town of their hood, apparently those one doesn’t feel fond being around.
Like Granny Smith said, those that were dubbed, Princess Bashers, are critics of Princess Celestia who think she is worthless, a coward & unfit to rule Equestria. Ever since the day Tirek was reborn and then his second coming to steal all pony talents, they have develop into a group order. And as of right now, they have heard about an issue with Twilight, chosen to be princess of her own kingdom here, who was picked by Celestia, has had a Vampire Pony problem. They aim to exploit any sightings as further their funding & image that such things to keep their world safe isn’t enough and must take up arms themselves.
“Hey, aren’t those the critic guys?” Scootaloo raised an eyebrow in recalling those guys.
“Wha are they doin’ here?” Apple Bloom asked off in pondering why those that never agree with Celestia are here.
“We best try to make sure we keep watch on you-know-who if it shows up with them around.” Sweetie Belle secretly issued in what to do; make sure the vampire pony doesn’t show up or those critics might make use of it.
As the CMC were moving along, they didn’t notice that they ran pass Sombra who was traveling around the festival grounds. He saw the fillies’ expression to only guess what was on their mind.
“My word, this wild issue of a Vampire Pony has every pony jumpy.” Sombra spoke off to sigh in having seen how everyone is acting. “Hugh, I hate to meet up with it, I just hope Autumn Gem & I will be fine since coming out to try to enjoy ourselves.” He stated of why he was here to begin with, he was here with his love.
“I’m right here.” Autumn Gem called out to approach her love from behind. “I was hearing the stories from a few ponies.” She stated this out to him about having heard some gossip.
“I know, it’s the latest gossip.” Sombra nods in having seen, heard, everything about the vampire pony that others are talking about that hit this place.
Suddenly, a lightly growling noise is heard that made Sombra jumpy, but then he stared at Autumn Gem who blushed; she apparently was hungry.
“Hah-hah, well that’s a relief.” Sombra replied off while he lightly nuzzles the mare he cares for. “I’ll see if there's something to eat, maybe get in line for us to get seats. Wait for me.” He stated off to say this to his love in what he can do for the mare.
“Yes, of course.” Autumn Gem nods with her blush still there, she is hungry.
Sombra went ahead to get in line or find a way to get ahead of everyone else. As Autumn Gem went over to sit down near a bench to wait patiently, the spot was near some bushes with a little street lamp to light it up.
“Oh, that’s right, I forgot I packed some food!” Autumn Gem responded from checking her saddle to suddenly become happy that she recall she had food on her. “I’ll just have a little snack and tell Sombra that I’m not as hungry anymore.” As she spoke, she reached in her bag for something and brings out…a fresh juicy apple.
As the mare was going to eat the apple while she was far away from everyone’s withering eyes, a sudden noise came from the bush nearby.
“Hugh?” Autumn Gem yelped a bit as she was lightly spooked at hearing the noise from the bush she stared at. “Was that some little creature?” She spoke in wondering what was nearby as she moves closer from the festival towards the bushes near the woods.
Then something zip out near Autumn Gem and snatched her apple from her hoof, much to her surprise. And when she looked up near a darken tree branch, she saw the vampire pony sucking on the apple she had, but from the little light of the full moon, it’s appearance became clear to her.
“Wait…is that….Fluttershy?” Autumn Gem slowly spoke in having known who that vampire pony is, there was no report of who it look like, but…that was definitely Fluttershy’s appearance.
Then the Vampire Pony stared at Autumn Gem in after finishing with the apple, it saw more apples exposed from the mare’s bag. “Hiisss…” Then she let out a hiss from opening her wings, gazing at her target.
“Uh-oh! She seen what else I’m carrying!” Autumn Gem yelped in having a bad feeling of what’s about to happen here.
Soon Autumn Gem begins to run away from the area, while the Vampire Pony lets out another hiss before it took to the skies again.
Right now, Sombra was complaining towards the Apples about getting a seating arrangement.
“What do you mean I have to wait an hour or 2? My love is so hungry, she’ll be screaming!” Sombra complained off to say about waiting that long will make the mare he loves scream of starvation.
“Waaaaaahhhhh!” Then Autumn Gem’s scream was heard from the distance just then.
“Wow, ye weren’t kid din’ pal!” Tough Apple responded off surprise as anyone that Sombra was right about the screaming thing.
The action got many ponies attention to turn to seeing Autumn Gem running for her frighten life, all while something above was chasing her which resembled…a familiar creature shadowing in the dark of the night.
“IT’S RETURRRRNED!” Caramel screamed out in seeing the vampire pony has return again.
“RUNAWAY!” Derpy screamed out in what they outta do here.
Now many of the ponies were scattering in knowing full well the vampire pony was back. But Sombra stared at the crowds retreating and also noticed from his love’s screams & fleeing scene….the creature was after her.
“AUTUMN!” Sombra calls out to his love in bolting over to her aid, she really needs it.
As Autumn Gem was rushing, she sudden trips from not carefully watching where she step. She was skidding across before her rushing motion came to a complete stop while much of her apples in her bag were scattered about. And then only for the Vampire Pony to land near and stuck out its tongue to take each apple at a time and suck its juices to make them dry. Once finished, it saw Autumn Gem sitting up, only for the vampire pony to hiss at her.
“Oh no….I’m sorry! That’s the only amount of apples I have, honest!” Autumn Gem pledged to move backwards only to be caught between a pole and a still hungry vampire pony.
“Hisss…” The Vampire Pony gave out another hiss while readying itself to pounce the poor mare.
“Aaaahhhh….” Autumn Gem let out a scream of terror in seeing this might be her end when….
Suddenly, some pony came and bash the vampire pony in the side which sent it rolling right into a tent nearby and caused it to fall apart on it, as it’s seen struggling while letting out more hisses. Then as it ripped out of the tent, it saw who its attacker was…Sombra.
“Gem Assault! Eternal Rupture!” Sombra raised up his front hooves while he had his horn glowing with much focus red magic and then…. “Pow-pow-pow…/TrupoWwwfruvhmmm….” He was firing almost a lot of gem projectiles while red crystalize gems grown out of the ground, disrupting everything.
The Vampire Pony hissed from being assaulted before it then took off near the sky to escape such attacks. Sombra kept his attacks going, as the Vampire Bat was still dodging all of those attacks until…
“Prissifruvhmmm…/Hiisssisisishh….” Suddenly, one gem shard got its wing that made the Vampire Pony hiss in pain and flown too close to some lit torches where its appearance was revealed as Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy?” Sombra responded off confused at this while many of the other ponds nearby also saw this but were in puzzlement.
Soon the Vampire Pony flies off to the darken forest while it growls and pants faintly while breathing in & out from feeling hurt. Meanwhile, Sombra comes near Autumn Gem who saw the action and snap to seeing her love near her.
“Are you alright Autumn Gem? Say something. What hap…” Sombra was asking but was suddenly cut off when Autumn Gem hugs him tightly.
“Oh thank, thank, thank, thank you!” Autumn Gem was thanking her love from feeling so scared from almost being in mortal danger.
Sombra said nothing at first as he pat her back to calm the mare. “Nothing shall stand between me & keeping you safe from harm's way.” After he said that, the two looked to the other and the mare kisses the stallion on the lips, making Sombra blush lightly, but returns the kiss as many group spectators approach.
“Phew, glad dat’s over.” Tough sighs in feeling glad that matter is over with.
“Eeyyup.” Big Mac nods in being glad is done too.
“An it look like the critter got injured won’t be causin’ a fuss now.” Granny Smith stated from seeing that vampire pony was injured during the tussle, it won’t be bad here for a while.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let us go and finish the job!” One Princess Basher spoke out in getting the crowd’s attention here.
“Yeah, lets finish it before it returns!” A Second Princess Basher declared in what they should be doing right now.
“Wait, yew can’t do dat!” Apple Bloom protest the manner of what those mean critics are doing.
“Our sisters & Twilight are on the case.” Sweetie Belle stated on who’s already on the case as they speak.
“They’ll find and stop her, they just…” Scootaloo was about to say, only to get cut off then.
“We can tell right away what that monster was. It was Fluttershy of the Council of Friendship!” Another Princess Basher remotely stated the fact of the monster’s identity.
“Isn’t it strange that she was not seen during the first attack?” A fifth Princess Basher remarked off to state this fact to the crowd.
“Perhaps the princess learnt of this and has been trying to keep it a secret!” A sixth Princess Basher stated off in what was happening under the citizens' noses.
“I heard she was turned into a Vampire Pony by Celestia’s student by a freak accident, but apparently, her so-call being cured wasn’t enough!” A seventh Princess Basher rolled his eyes in criticizing what happened in the past was not fixed it seem.
“Thanks to Celestia’s choice of letting a mistake like that keep on being free & unattended, she has returned to being a monster and will suck our apples dry before coming for our blood!” One who appeared as the leader of the Princess Bashers spoke in what will happen to their apples if the creature is not subdued.
Many of the citizens looked around puzzled with worried and concerns in what they are hearing. Sombra & Autumn Gem cease their kissing moment when they heard such talk.
“Citizens! Grab your Torches & Pitch Forks! It’s time we hunted that monster down and put it out of its misery! Once a Vampire Pony, there is no cure and your princess has not told you of this.” The Princess Basher Leader spoke off in declaring what they must do to rid themselves of such a monster. “The time has come, we shall eradicate the vermin from trying to terrorize our right!” He announced this as an act of rebellion that they must stop the creature themselves.
And in a shocking manner, many of the simple townsfolk felt almost like agreeing; they are tired of always being picked on and being endangered, time to fight back.
“Wait, there must be another way! This is Fluttershy we’re talking about, the kindest pony around!” Mayor Mare spoke to stop this madness from getting out of hand, but…
“And be dead or turned into one of those freaks, forget it. LET’S GET THE MONSTER!” The Princess Basher remotely stated off this dry manner while yelling this message to the crowd.
“YEEEAAAAAH!” Many of the rising angry mob started to feel something take over them; blind rage mix with fear. As many were picking up some booth selling pitch forks and also some lit torches.
“Uh oh! Now it looks like our friends may have more trouble on their hooves!” Autumn Gem yelped in seeing what was going on here, the town’s folks are being driven by their fear!
“Stay here with the good mayor & the CMC, try to figure out how to not go along with this. I’ll head off to warn the others.” Sombra spoke to his love in what they can do to try to put a stop to this as best they could.
“Be safe my love.” Autumn Gem spoke softly in wishing her love to be careful.
With that, Sombra quickly rushes off into the dark forest without tipping anyone that he was going to find Twilight’s group and warn them of the danger.
-------------------------
The scene returns to where Twilight’s group were continuing their search for Flutterbat who looks like the Vampire Pony version of Fluttershy. Truly none would have seen it with their own eyes if they haven’t believed it. And with NeoVamde leading, his sharp senses are helping the group explore further along the apple orchards to find where the new vampire pony is hiding. Ever since it ran off while they recovered a bit, they have been trying to be hot on its trail.
“Lord NeoVamde, may I ask you something?” Twilight spoke to the powerful lord of a realm country of vampire ponies some question.
“Very well princess of friendship, what is it you ask?” NeoVamde nods lightly in waiting to hear what the mare has to ask of him.
“I wanna know, you’re an Element User, and yet, your also a Vampire Pony, how did it happen for an element to choose you?” Twilight asked in being curious, how was it an element could be used by a Vampire Pony, something that is very supernatural.
“Hugh, that’s a good question.” Rainbow Dash rub her head in feeling a bit interested in that to.
“Why yes, you are the first Element User of a supernatural kind we ever came across!” Rarity stated fact that has earn their attention up front here.
“Come ta think of it, it is strange.” Applejack raised an eyebrow in agreeing to such a thing.
“Right, maybe you can tell us how you came to be.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say that they can hear the guy tell them his story of beginning.
“Um, that is…if you want to, you don’t have to if you don’t wanna.” Fluttershy meekly spoke in feeling if their new friend was alright with doing so.
“It’s strange, I thought my story had been told.” NeoVamde spoke softly in puzzlement, he thought his tale was told long ago.
“Yeah, about that, seems some pony changed much of history to make you sound like an extremely evil vampire that wants all to fear and hate you. Probably my old man’s work.” Terrorcreep shrug off to say in feeling he knows who the person was that changed some old records.
“Right, cause both Myotis & NeoVamde maybe powerful vampire ponies, but one is extremely evil and the other is good….sorta, no offense.” Pinkamena stated to say this while not meaning any harm to NeoVamde who shook his head off to say ‘none taken’ in silent reply.
“Sounds like they don’t get along.” Jack Zen spoke in thinking from what he’s hearing, those two particular vampire ponies aren’t friends.
“The discussion does seem to lean towards a theory.” Omega nods lightly in feeling the discussion was leading up to such terms.
“Do you wanna tell us?” Spike asked off in liking to know NeoVamde’s history from the guy himself.
“Yeah, it might be better than just keeping our minds so focus on the other vampire on the loose.” Phobos shrug off to say that at least their minds won’t be 24/7 on the loose Flutterbat.
“Oh Phobos.” Nyx rolled her eyes in hearing her pet pal say such things.
“Its fine, as we continue this pace, we should find her. During which, I can tell you most of my tale of beginnings.” NeoVamde spoke off to say this about telling his tale while they continue their search.
“Tale of beginnings?” Ben raised an eyebrow in hearing this, it sounds like a beginning from way, way long ago.
“It happened long before many of you were born, only those that are Alicorn or never age can truly recall moments of the past as did the Royal Sisters.” NeoVamde stated in talking about Goldie & Pinkamena, one that is born an Alicorn and the other is ageless to know some things of the past. “This was my tale…when I was still among the living, as a mortal.” He stated this off to those hearing him out now of what he was when alive.
The others that never lived so long gasp in surprise, even Goldie & Pinkamena who have been around were interested to learn the tale. And soon…the story behind NeoVamde was soon to be told now…
---------------
The scene fades to the time back during the Three Tribes and their war. We see what was the non-dead version of NeoVamde, but just as a unicorn and his eyes were the same as everyone else’s. He sat in high service to another familiar character, Princess Platinum along with severely unicorns.
“A 1000 years ago, I was once a part of Princess Platinum’s Unicorn High-Class Society as a unicorn. I was but one of many that was of noble of our high heritage, there was nothing wrong even when the Three Tribes were having difficulties.” NeoVamde’s voice spoke in explaining by narration of a tale of what occur in the past, that he was a part of the unicorn tribe, those with magic and nobility.
The scene changes to the downpour of the snowy winter event that was cause by the Wendigoes. This cause all the tribes to pack up and set out to find a new place to call home, a new land to discover that would be perfect to settle down in. But then when the other tribes came with the same idea, conflict begun and that brought the Wendigoes to the land and trapped the Three Tribe Leaders and their company.
“But then one day during the Wendigo event that drove us all away from the cold, we all tried to find a new place to call home. But I was lost when we went searching for a new land and the Wendigoes came again. I had even learn of our princess had been trapped in ice along with the other leaders & fellow close attenders.” As NeoVamde’s narrative voice spoke, his younger version was seen being lost from his group and he went to save their princess.
But then an issue showed the one that tried mounting a rescue fell into a pit-hole that was covered by snow and those that were near or saw it…saw the unicorn stallion perish.
“However, fate can be cruel when you least expect it, I had fell down into a dark pit hole when I tried to save Princess Platinum, I felt I perish….never to be seen again. As many that saw me, know of my fate.” NeoVamde narrated to explain his tale of what had happened to him that might suggest the end of his life.
The scene shows a cavern of glittering frost icicles, as there was the flesh NeoVamde who looked like he busted every bone in his body, but barely to be dead. He was trapped in a cavern that was filled with bats that flutter around.
“But in truth, I had not died, I was instead trapped in a cavern with bats and had been stuck there for many days and nights, very injured from just surviving my fall. I was wasting away and almost allowing the cold to get to me.” NeoVamde narrated to explain what his young self was doing, trying to keep from dying. “But I strive to keep going even by crawling or using my magic to hover myself until finally, I found a hole leading up towards where the light of the lunar moon was above….my way out was at last seen.” At the moment, the struggling pony came near a hole leading up to the surface from the moon-light shining down.
Then without warning above, the scene display the event of where Celestia banished Luna to the moon. As such an event took place, something began to react from the light-wave the moon gave off.
“During the event that took place on that day I never knew, Celestia had banished Luna to the moon. But from doing so, triggered a different lunar light, and from where I was….a glowing orb object appeared from the convergence of both light & dark lunar lights from the moon.” As NeoVamde narrates, his young flesh self saw the action triggered something in the lunar light that made a strange orb object that eradicated from moon-light and he struggled to reach it.
The pony was seen struggling to ignore the pain to grasp the object even if he was to die….but did not know there was something nearby that saw the object to go to it itself.
“I had seen a chance and struggle with the last of my strength & ignore my pain to race for it. But in my haste, I was unaware that the glowing orb made a nearby Vampire Fruit Bat think it was a fruit to eat, like a Zap-Apple. And before I knew it, we both touch it, my hoof and the bat’s fangs.” As NeoVamde narrated, both the struggling young version and the Vampire Fruit Bat touch the object, but the latter with its fangs.
Then a glowing motion took place that swallowed the unicorn in and the bat flew off on alert instincts.
“The action caused an abnormal event that swallowed whole me while the bat flew away, the orb I stubble upon was in fact….the Element of Moon-Light. But from what sample the element got from the Vampire Fruit Bat was completely transforming my body completely.” NeoVamde explained his tale to narrate how what one simple creature’s involvement with an element in a pure state upon touch would affect another pony.
Soon the changes were complete, the sphere vanished to show a new pony that had wings of a bat and eyes different from a mortal pony.
“I soon awoken to discovered I had wings on my back, but saw I had my horn, but the wings were not of a Pegasus, but more bat-like wings. I wasn’t a mortal anymore, I became likely the first creature of the night. Thus, testing my wings did I soar above to finally be free of where I was, and witness the Mare in the Moon, signaling Luna’s banishment after becoming Nightmare Moon.” As NeoVamde narrates, his transformed self flew off into the air, as he was free, saw the moon that symbolized Luna’s banishment.
NeoVamde of the past flew around, testing himself and his capabilities, even to the extend some mortal or two saw him, ran off screaming.
“Once seeing my appearance changed & my recovery was beyond reasoning, I was no longer the pony I used to be, so I simply took up a new name; NeoVamde. I was the first vampire pony that citizens had taken to recognize me after hearing the last one mysteriously vanished.” As the guy narrates, he saw many simple town folks running away, and knew and heard about what happened to himself and about another.
The scene shows the passing of years, as NeoVamde flew in the night, accompanied by other vampire ponies like himself. Then many were helping to contrast something in a strange outside distinct land.
“Years gone by, I learn about my element’s power between light & dark of the moon, it was never something evil, but some who seen it believe it was. After I master the abilities, I sought to build a dominion for creatures of the night when I learned what happened to the Three Tribe Rulers. Develop a country where my vampire brethren that when they are born or made from whatever incident & magic spell, I would seek them out to bring them salvation from mortal creatures that would harm supernatural beings that would do harm.” NeoVamde explained his tale of what had happened and what he was trying to do here at this very moment; build a home for his kind to feel safe & sound.
Then after a few other years pass by, many more monsters that were almost pony figure or feature arrived as they were monsters of the world of Equestria that also needed salvation.
“When after much more years pass, I even allow other night creatures to stay in parts where some call their home, the Neither World or the Underworld, it was the only supernatural place where monsters like us can be safe from mortals.” NeoVamde narrated to explain what else happened that he allow others that were stated as monsters to feel at home.
Once the dominion of the realm was complete, many monsters were seen cheering for NeoVamde and have even held an election to dub him lord and ruler of their new found home.
“I had earn much recognition as the strongest vampire pony and made lord of our country. I even created and became a general of an army I dubbed, The Moon-Light Army, which my goal was to erase hostile forces against the world of monsters without leaving a trace, so my army is almost all Undead type pony creatures that lurk everywhere & erase the foes that move against them, one by one. To this day, I’ve become one of two night creatures who are the strongest super naturals in Equestria. There was one for the ghost, me for monsters, and secretly…one that was strongest for the undead creatures of limbo.” NeoVamde’s voice narrated off to explain how much things started to end up coming to a near close for him; he made a home for all monsters, he became the strongest supernatural creature & built an army to protect all night creatures.
The scene begins to fade with such a story having reach it’s conclusive act…
----------------------------------
The scenery returns to the present as those still tracking Flutterbat had now been told the whole story of what NeoVamde’s life was like, that is for one that is a part of the Undead class of supernatural creatures. They had no idea that someone had strived to go so far to which he wants to protect monsters from those that are truly monsters; mortals. Makes even some feel like the monsters that are running around, as they just wild beast or are their some that are intelligent life or pony mix breed creatures, would they be friends or foes?
“Man; that is quite a tale.” Spike replied off in having heard something that was far out.
“You can say that again.” Phobos nods off in agreeing to Spike on the term of the chat.
“Hugh, so that’s the tale, funny, this is the first time I hear about it.” Terrorcreep scratched his head from never hearing the tale of NeoVamde be told this way.
“No doubt your father never discuss why I was given that which he said I stole.” NeoVamde remotely stated off to say while Terrorcreep went quiet in knowing what the discussion was shaping into.
“But wait, what about your relationship to Myotis of the Dark Mystics?” Twilight asked in being curious about something else now.
“Let us save that for another time, there she is.” NeoVamde spoke to cut the subject short, for their prime objective…was near.
True to words, before the group above the trees was Flutterbat that was just hanging upside-down while trying to recover from its encounter from a gem projectile.
“Hiissssisis….” Flutterbat made a threatening hiss noise against those that saw her.
“Okay, so how do we capture it?” Rainbow Dash spoke off to ponder what their plan to catch the new vampire pony would be.
“You don’t.” NeoVamde spoke in stepping into the situation and then… “Frusvhmmm-POWwvfruvhmm…” Then suddenly, he extended his front hooves up that smack and grasp the new vampire pony against the tree. “I will!” He spoke with a serious expression of handling this quickly and simply.
“Hiissisisss….” Flutterbat had woken from her recovery moment to hiss at those that attack her.
“Wow, ye made dat quicker than a gopher digging’ a hole.” Applejack spoke off amazed by such quick work.
“Weird that it couldn’t leave fast enough.” Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow in seeing the Flutterat didn’t see that coming, why?
“Wait look, it’s wing is hurt!” Jack Zen spoke in noticing that one of the new vampire pony’s wings were hurt.
“Someone has harmed her, who would dare…?” NeoVamde responded in starting to get upset, who would dare…
“Um hello, she might have attacked them ponies in the festival while we were recovering.” Terrorcreep pointed out a fact, that Flutterbat went back to the festival and escape from being injured.
“Will she be alright?” Fluttershy asked in feeling concern about her own vampire lookalike.
“She will, once I use my powers to help speed her vampire regeneration prowess. But I shall help speed up her wild behavior to be more stable.” NeoVamde explained the case of what he’ll do to help this new vampire out.
“You can do that?” Nyx asked off surprise to hear this, none of them even knew about that.
“From what I heard, some ponies that turn into Vampire Ponies tend to lose their senses of what makes them intellectual and they behave like wild animals on instinct.” Golden Heart pointed out what he has heard of what certain vampire ponies even go through, most of which they aren’t in control of their minds to process things.
Soon many were seeing it as NeoVamde came closer to Flutterbat as she was struggling, but he was not harming her. Then the lord of vampire pony’s eyes glowed in a strange way as they sent out a hypno-wave of hypnosis towards the wild girl. After a few settling moments, something began to change, Flutterbat was starting to look calmer and not as wild before she looked….very lost & puzzled. NeoVamde nods to this and ceases his hypnosis effect and then lets the child go, as everyone was expecting Flutterbat to make a run or fly for it, she didn’t and the guy even used some magic to speed up her wing’s recovery.
“Where….am I?” Flutterbat slowly spoke in getting her sudden senses together.
“SHE CAN TALK!” The baby Dragons responded off in surprise to see THIS development.
“It would seem through the power of hypnosis and by another source of magic, it has help her out of her wild vampire stage.” Omega stated what he could calculate to be a reasonable matter.
“Relax dear child, you are with those that won’t harm you. I have been told by such, as I am the Lord of all Vampires, NeoVamde.” NeoVamde spoke to Flutterbat to have her stand up before him and to meet those he says can be trusted.
“Yeah, and I’m Terrorcreep, nice to meet yah.” Terrorcreep smiled off in actually being nice to finally have another Vampire pony around.
“Tell us, where did you come from? You resemble this pony who was once almost a full vampire pony?” NeoVamde asked in looking at Fluttershy, and questioning how Flutterbat resembles her.
“I…can’t recall much. But…I remember turning into a vampire pony, but…I don’t recall being cured. And during my actions, I stubble across a strange spell that was active and…brought me to this place.” Flutterbat responded a bit puzzled about her own creation of being who she is while suddenly being taken into this strange place.
“Wait! Could it be…you’re from an Alternate World where Fluttershy wasn’t turn back to normal, but remain as been dubbed Flutterbat?” Pinkamena asked off in having a feeling, this Flutterbat is a version of Fluttershy from an alternate world’s universe; it’s just like her being another version of Pinkie Pie.
“That would explain why you thought Fluttershy was turning back into a vampire pony again.” Twilight stated in what NeoVamde was stating when he felt Fluttershy was the new vampire pony.
“An original & alternate version of one’s self but under different states does explain things.” Goldie stated in now understanding what was going on.
“Well now this case is just about wrapped up.” Spike shrug off to say in seeing that this issue seem to be resolved.
“And we made a new friend.” Nyx smiled in seeing that they help make Flutterbat be more aware and not as wild as before.
“I think we all have some questions we like to ask of Flutterbat here.” Ben responded to say this out to the newest ally.
Suddenly before the discussion of the New Vampire Pony the gang have started to befriend, something was heard coming out of the bushes. The gang were a bit edgy thinking it was an enemy, but it was instead turn out to be Sombra.
“Sombra?” The gang responded off in seeing someone that they know very well is now their friend.
“You, aren’t you King Sombra?” NeoVamde asked off in being surprise to see someone who was last stated to been evil.
“Yes, but not as the evil king.” Sombra stated that he’s a former villain and now a friend.
“What are you doing here?” Goldie asked off why this guy was here.
“I came to warn you, an angry mob is on the way here with intent to eradicate the vampire pony, and worse, they saw her appearance.” Sombra explained the issue of what was happening even as he spoke.
“Wait! That means they know it’s Fluttershy?” Pinkamena yelps in thinking that if folks saw Flutterbat, they think she was Fluttershy.
“This may make things complicated to explain how there are two Fluttershy ponies.” Omega stated from his math of picturing such a confusing issue.
“They’re…coming for me?” Flutterbat asked off in fearing that a mob will be coming for her, from the trouble she did from being so wild.
“No. They won’t find you or us.” NeoVamde stated with a calm tone towards the new vampire pony, assuring she won’t be harm.
Suddenly, NeoVamde stretched his wings that became giant size over Flutterbat and even Terrorcreep before closing them in.
“Hey wait, by us, you mean only us three? Wait a second!” Terrorcreep was about to object to what was gonna be going on here, but….
“Poofruvhmm…/Cough-cough, cough….” Then a large poof of smoke covered everyone to begin coughing from inhaling the stuff. When it finally cleared, all the Vampire Ponies were gone and out of sight.
“Wait, did he just bail on us?” Rainbow Dash spoke off in seeing what had just happened here.
“An' wit' Terrorcreep & Flutterbat too?” Applejack stated from what was also gone along with NeoVamde.
“Well, of all the nerve!” Rarity spoke off with a huff that someone would leave in a manner.
“Guys, they’re Vampire Ponies and we just told them an angry mob is coming!” Twilight stated a fact that they told them an angry mob was coming for them, who wouldn’t be scared.
“Right, even when I was the Demon Pony, I didn’t wanna have to deal with that.” Ben nods in agreement, a monster judge by citizens plus an angry mob coming after the said monster is never a good thing.
“But then how do we explain our situation?” Jack Zen asked off in what they can do to explain their case here.
“Yikes! That’s right, the ponies might think Fluttershy is her opposite, Flutterbat!” Pinkie Pie yelps in thinking that someone will be mistaken for another’s identity.
“Oh dear, what should we do?” Fluttershy spoke in worry, that wouldn’t be good at all.
“Hide you in the castle?” Phobos spoke off the first idea that came to him.
“Somehow, doubt that last.” Spike shook his head in thinking that idea wouldn’t work out.
“We’ll have to explain to the crowd, and make sure no pony, vampire or mortal gets hurt over this.” Twilight stated in what they best do, try to explain the case by debated words, not physical action.
That sounded like a big gamble, but then again, running away is just going to make things worse. And from the bright lights up ahead that were lit torches and followed by pitch forks, the angry mob was on their way. The Mane Six group better try to figure out how to handle this or they’ll have more on their hooves than they can handle.
