The Captain is currently standing in an unfamiliar forest with nothing but his standard uniform. He has no idea how or when he got there. All he remembers is getting a tooth with silver filling (which he had politely supplied) punched into his chest and falling onto the ground and blacking out. He couldn't even remember that witty remark that strange French familiar made.
He then began to wonder what had become of the major in his absence. Hopefully he had given enough time for the Major to witness the defeat of Alucard. He also wondered what had become of the Butler that they had managed to turn. Probably dead most likely, not a lot of beings in the world are able to defeat Alucard. Hopefully by the end all that the Major will have been satisfied and all of London in ruins.
The Captain then began to slowly make his way through the forest, trying to figure out where he is and how he got there. "Perhaps this is the afterlife", he thought, but if this is the afterlife then what is he suppose to be in. Can't be Heaven because if it were then were are the angels and/or god here to meet, surely they wouldn't leave him hanging like this. Can't be Hell because as far as he knew he is not burning in Hell fire at the moment and there are no demons for him to meet.
As the Captain made his way through the forest his super hearing began to pick up movements in the bushes near him. The Captain then went into a dead stop and eyed the bushes with interest, waiting for whatever was in it to reveal itself. Suddenly he heard a low growl and out of the bushes came one of the most bizarre creatures he had ever seen (and coming from a werewolf like him, that means a lot). it had the body of a lion only much more larger, but also had a scorpion tale.It surely looked one of the doctors experiments. By the way,what had become of the doctor anyway?
"Maybe I am in hell", the Captain thought as the strange creature took an aggressive stance. judging from it's posture and the hungry look in it's eyes, it was obvious to the Captain that this demon wanted to make him it's latest meal and took a defensive posture to defend himself. Due to his training the Captain new better to engage in close-quarter combat with a creature he has no idea is capable of, it could a be creature that explodes on contact for all he knew.
"I should test how durable this creature is first before engaging,"the Captain thought. So in one swift motion he took out one of his modified Mauser C96s (which he conveniently had on him) and fired a round into it's head. He expected the creature to shrug off the bullet like it was nothing. He expected the creature to have unbelievable speed and easily dodge the shot. He never expected one hells demon spawn to have it's brains sprawled all over the bushes, trees and grass and drop to the ground dead.
"A lucky shot," The Captain thought as he looked at the now dead corpse in amazement. This is one the beast damned souls are suppose to meet in hell? This has all but confirmed he is not hell because if was hell then why are the creatures so weak? Why does his heighten sense still work? Why does he still have his weapons? however if this is not hell then where could he possibly be. Seeing no point in thinking about any longer he decided to continue through the forest. Hopefully he will either find civilization (hopefully one that requires his service, he really would want a purpose now that he is free from the major) or a way out of this forest. Just because he could easily take on these creature doesn't mean he wants to run into anymore.

It was another beautiful day in the town of Ponyville. The Sun was shining in the sky and weather is scheduled to be a clear day. It was indeed a perfect day for physical activities such as picnics, training exercises for those fouls looking to join the wonderbolts one day, or they could stay at home all day indoors with nothing to do such as what the cutie mark crusaders were. Ever since they found there cutie marks months ago they didn't really have much motivation to do anything anymore and today they decided to just hangout at the club house and do basically nothing.
"I am soooooo bored, I wish something exciting wou-," before Scootaloo could finish that sentence they all heard a loud pop.
"What was that?!," Sweetie Belle exclaimed looking into the direction she heard that loud pop sound.
"Ah think it came from the Everfree forest" Applebloom said worried as she started to shake.
"Well that is a bad sign if it came from the Everfree forest," Sweetie Belle said. "Should we go tell somepony?".
"Yeah ah think that's a good idea," Scootaloo agreed.
As the Crusaders exited the tree house, Appleblooms dog Winona started to growl towards the Everfree forest, startling the fillies.
"What wrong Winona,?" asked Applebloom as she patted Winona on the head to see what's wrong. "Winona what's the matter, who ya growling at?".
"what's wrong with her?" asked Scootaloo.
"Ah don't know, usually when she growls like this she se-" but before Applebloom could finish that sentence Winona started to bark loudly at the Everfree forest, once again startling the fillies. Applebloom started to get scared for her dog.
"Winona what's-" Applebloom is again interrupted when Winona began running towards the forest, to the dismay of Applebloom.
"Winona where are you going!?,"shouted Applebloom galloped after Winona.
"Applebloom wait!," shouted Sweetie Belle as she galloped after Applebloom. "We need to get your sister Applejack first."
"Celestia danget!" Scootaloo groaned as she galloped after the 3, hoping nothing bad was gonna happen. "I did wish for something exciting to happen after all."
......................................
It was usual business in the Conterlot palace. Princess Celestia was currently seated on her throne, listening to one of the nobles complain about the Conterlot children playing on his lawn. So yeah business as usual.
"And then one of the colts called me a dried old blueberry" complained the Noble.
"mhm" said Celestia,only half listening to the noble moan about his problem. It was only through centuries of experience and rigorous training that she is able to half listen but look like he has her undivided attention.
"Then one of the colts had the nerve to stick their tongue at me!. I have never been more disrespected in my entire life!!" exclaimed the noble.
"mhm" moaned Celestia.
"I demand that-" however before he could finish that sentence Luna came threw the doors into the throne room.
Thank mother Gaia thought Celestia, thankful that Luna interrupted this nobles rambling.
"Sister we have urgent news that require thine attention!" shouted Luna.
The noble was taken aback by the rude interruption. "um excuse me princess Luna but before your rude interruption we were in the middle of a discussion," explained the Noble.
Luna then slowly turned around and flashed a glare that clearly said Get your flank out here.
The noble then backed away "uh.... o-or perhaps we can continue this discussion later" stuttered with fear in his voice.
Luna then grinned "yes, we think that may be best".
As soon as they were alone Princess Celestia then spoke. "Luna, it is good to see you. Not to be rube but what is it that you came to see me for?," Celestia asked.
"Sister, in our slumber we sensed an disturbance that we have never sensed before," explained Luna.
"oh dear, that is worrisome. Are you sure Luna?". Celestia said as she stood up and trotted over to Luna.
"Yes we are correct sister and we also believe that it came from the Everfree forest," explained Luna.
Celestia then grinned "oh Luna, I'm sure it's nothing. Remember this certainly isn't the first time you sensed a disturbance" said Celestia.
Luna sighed. Her Sister was indeed correct this wasn't the first time. She still remember that one time she sensed a disturbance, but that was because she realized that she was running late for night court, or that one time she sensed a disturbance she was just really hungry and her devotion to her subjects just distracted her.
"sigh, I guess thou art right sister".
Celestia then gave her a reassuring smile. "tell you what, how about I have Twilight be on the look out for anything strange coming out of the Everfree forest,?" said Celestia. "it's better to be safe then sorry".
"Yes, we thank that would be best," luna said. She giggled "yes, I do appear to be overreacting, we are sure it is nothing".
Celestia grinned "has anypony ever told you how cute your giggle is?".
Luna blushed.
"Come on how about you go on back to bed and let me handle all this," reassured Celestia.
"Very well, good day dear Sister" luna said as she trotted out of the throne room.
As soon as luna was out of the throne, Celestia went back up to her throne. "Yes, I am sure it is nothing," Celestia thought.
.............................................
"Winona!! please we have gone deep enough" Applebloom shouted as she followed her deep into the forest. She had been following Winona for 3 minutes and she was already too deep into the forest. just as she was about to stop from exhaustion Winona finally stopped.
"pant pant pant now what is the matter girl" Applebloom said gasping for air.
"Hey!! Applebloom" shouted Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo as they galloped to Applebloom.
"oh hey girls, ah didn't know ya'll were followin us" said Applebloom.
"Well we couldn't let our best friend go into the Everfree forest alone now would we?" exclaimed Scootaloo. "Now did you find out what wrong with her?"
Applebloom shook her head "no, she just stopped all of a sudden. she seems ok now". She patted Winona on head.
"Well them come on, I don't want to be in here for too long, it's almost night time" said Sweetie belle.
"Yeah let's go" said Applebloom. As Applebloom turned to leave she came face to face with a timberwolf causing the fillies to stop dead in their tracks.
....................................................
The Captain was still walking through the forest still thinking about the many theories of how and why his here when he heard a loud girlish scream.
He looked towards where the scream came from and thought "if there is a scream then there are people" and rocketed towards it in blinding speed.
`
..........................................................
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Screamed the fillies as they galloped from the timberwolves through forest followed by Winona. They have been galloping for their lives for a while now and they are starting to get tired. As they were galloping 3 more timberwolfs jumped in front of them, making them come to a dead stop.
Now surrounded, the fillies huddled up against each with Winona, who is growling at the timberwolfs warning them to stay away.
"What do we do" screeched Sweetie Belle that is starting to form tears around her eyes, beginning to sense the end and held on to Scootaloo for dear life.
"What can we do" said Applebloom as she held onto Winona as she cried into her chest. She could not believe she was going to die like this, and she just got her cutie mark. Plus she never got to say good bye to Applejack, and finding that her sister got mauled by Timberwolves would just crush her.
As the Timberwolves circled the fillies, getting ready to strike, the fillies then hugged each other and started saying their goodbyes.
"Well girls I guess this is it, I just want ya'll to know that ya'll were the best group of friends I will ever have" said Applebloom.
"Me two, I wouldn't have it any other way with you girls, I would trade my chances getting into the Wunderbolts for you girls any day" said Scootaloo.
"Oh Scootaloo how thoughtful, and you would have been a great Wunderbolt" reassured Sweetie Belle nuzzling Scootaloo "and Applebloom I want you to know that your sister would have been proud of you."
"Thanks sweetie belle" said Applebloom.
The Timberwolves then stopped and readied to pounce on the fillies. The fillies braced themselves.
A Timberwolf then leaped at the fillies only for a strange long metal stick came out of nowhere and was stuck into it's mouth and then a very pop was heard and it's entire head exploded. It was so loud the fillies covered their ears. The fillies looked to where the long stick is coming from and saw the strangest creature they have ever seen, but before they could examine it any further it pointed it's long stick at the other timberwolves, then heard 5 more loud pops. The timberwolves heads all exploded.
Fear had never been a foreign concept to the trio of fillies that now cling to one another before this strange creature towering over them. Even the fact their names were speckled with saliva and wood chips didn't seem to penetrate through their minds as they looked up and the creature before them looked back down at them as well. Piercing red eyes broke through the shadows of the night as the moon rose up behind him and instilled additional fear into the three fillies and the dog before him. The moon illuminating his towering figure and the long cylinder of metal that he held within his hand.
The fillies continued to just stare at the being as it started back, neither willing to move a muscle, even Winona was barely moving a muscle. Sweetie belle was shaking like crazy, scared of what it might do next. Scootaloo was trying and failing to look not scared. Applebloom was looking at the being a mix of fear and curiosity, not knowing whether to be scared or relieved it saved them. Eventually Applebloom worked up the courage to speak.
"uhh, hello?" said Applebloom.
