Blue Blue Glass Moon, Under the Crimson Air
“Oh! Oh goodness, is something the matter? What are you all doing here so late at night?”
Twilight trotted past me and turned the lights on rather suddenly with her magic, making me wince a little. I put my foreleg over my face to help my eyes adjust while everypony else filed inside one by one. It wasn't like them to be so forceful...but I'm sure there's a perfect explanation for this.
“Fluttershy, I'm so sorry to wake you, but we need to talk. I've been doing some research, and...I'm afraid something else may have went wrong with the spell I cast on you.”
I looked at Twilight with squinted eyes, the light from my lamps still stinging me. Her brow was creased and she was staring at me intently. Actually, all of my friends were staring at me nearly the same way. My own eyes started darting between them, trying to make sense of what this all meant. It wasn't like my friends to be so serious.
“Whu...what's the matter? Oh no, did your spell fail, Twilight?! Am-am I going to turn into a vampire fruit bat again?!”
I took a step forward towards them, but that only caused them all to take a step back. Rarity stifled a shriek and Pinkie Pie hid behind Rainbow Dash. Wait...were they afraid of me? But why?
“Well, Fluttershy, what we mean ta say is...” Applejack swallowed, her words getting slow and deliberate. “...Twilight thinks yer...turnin' into a real vampire...”
I couldn't control the gasp coming from my lips. My hindquarters gave out on me as I felt my heart start to beat wildly. My hooves came to my cheeks and an icy feeling began crawling up my spine. “Oh no...no! Do you mean the kind that drinks blood...?! B-but I've been feeling fine! I haven't been wanting to drink anypony's blood, I swear!”
Twilight took a step forward, “It doesn't matter. I've...I've run the numbers over and over again, and I've come to the same conclusion every time. The spell that was supposed to remove the vampire fruit bat's desire from you didn't remove the base essence. And without the original fruit bat's template, that same essence will manifest as its original form...that of a true vampire bat. There's nothing I can do to dispel it now...”
*THUMP...THUMP*
“No...no! I-I don't...I'm not...!” My face felt so hot. My forelegs wrapped around myself and I started shivering, not knowing what do or think. It couldn't be true, it just couldn't! I'm not a monster!
“Fluttershy...I'm so sorry. There's only one thing we can do for you now.”
I don't know how I didn't notice it before, but Twilight was wearing a saddle bag on her back. She had a grim expression on her face as she pulled something out of it with her levitation.
“This is all my fault...so I told the others that I'd personally take responsibility.”
The thing she pulled out of her bag made me recoil in horror. I scrambled backwards and slammed into a cold wall, not believing what I was seeing. She was holding a wooden mallet and a sharpened oak stake.
“Twilight...no...! I'm not a vampire, I'm NOT!”
She pointed a hoof at me and commanded, “Applejack, Rainbow Dash, grab her! Don't let her get away!”
My friends grabbed my forelegs and held me in front of her against my will. I struggled like my life depended on it, but their grip was too strong. There was no way I could break free like this. Looking into my friend's eyes, they still had that cold, stern look in them. Even Pinkie Pie.
*THUMP, THUMP*
What was wrong them?! How could they be so cruel?! How could they simply turn their backs on me like this?! I haven't done anything wrong at all!
“Forgive me...but there's no other way. As a Princess of Equestria, it is my duty to protect it from every threat imaginable. Even if it means sacrificing someone dear to me...” Twilight placed the stake over my heart and pulled back the mallet, not hesitating for even a second. I never thought her voice could sound so distant...so bleak. Am I really going to die...?
(“...strike back. Fight. It is the only way to survive.”)
In that moment, everything I saw seemed to blur. The hammer moved in slow motion, and nothing around me made a sound. The only things I could hear was the sound of me breathing, and something...else.
(“They've abandoned you. Shunned you. All because of what you are. What you know yourself to be. Fight them, or you will die.”)
It's true...isn't it? I thought it was just a side effect of the spell, but...I still had a fang. I knew that deep down, I was still a vampire pony. And now the closest friends I've ever known, the ponies I care about more than anything else in the world...they're going to kill me. All because of what I was. It wasn't fair...
*THUMPTHUMPTHUMP*
It's not fair! I don't deserve this! This is all your fault! I've become a monster now, just because you didn't want to listen to me! NOPONY ever listens to me! If anyone should die, it's YOU!
“Graaaahhh!!!”
I had no idea I was so strong. Rainbow Dash and Applejack flung off me like they were made of paper, colliding with Twilight and falling to the floor. Pinkie and Rarity backed themselves into a corner, yelling hurtful things at me. It was still painful to hear, but it all sounded like a muffled record player. There was only one thing I cared about now, and it was making them pay. I walked over to Twilight with a somber step and stood over her, her gorgeous wings splayed out and a look of agony on her face. I felt a small hiss escape from my mouth as I lowered my head...
*CRASH*
...right as something small jumped onto my back and jerked my head towards the mirror against my wall. The pony looking back at me...she scared me more than anything else I've ever seen in my life. Her mane was scraggly and jagged. Huge fangs adorned her mouth. Her wings were outstretched over two meters long, and were webbed just like a bat's. But her eyes...her eyes. The whites of her eyes had gone completely black, and her pupils shone a crimson red. I couldn't believe it...I could hardly believe the pony in the mirror was me.
“(Squeak...)”
The critter that jumped onto my back started hugging me and crying, his warm tears bringing me back to my senses. It was Angel Bunny. I stepped away from Twilight without looking at her and held him close, tears flowing down my face.
“I'm so sorry...I...I wasn't myself. This isn't what I want at all...”
It was strange. It all felt so surreal until Angel came to me. I think...I understand now.
“No...none of this is right.”
I stood up, still holding him with my foreleg. Biting back my tears, I screamed out, “I know my friends...and they would never abandon me! They would never resort to killing anypony for any reason! No matter what, I trust them with all of my heart! You are NOT my friends!”
With that, the world around me seemed to evaporate like a puff of smoke, leaving nothing behind but the night sky. I sighed softly and knelt onto my belly, nuzzling against Angel. Staring at the moon as it was calmed me somehow...I couldn't really explain it. But it's blue glow was so dazzling to me, I couldn't look away...
“You have done well to resist them, Fluttershy.”
Looking down, I was greeted by Princess Luna's warm smile. I know I should be surprised to see her, but for some reason I wasn't. It was like I was expecting her somehow...why was that?
“Thank you, Princess Luna. I would have lost myself if it wasn't for you.”
She chuckled and shook her head, saying, “No need. I merely sent this little one into your dreams. It seems his love for you is greater than I had realized.”
I looked down at Angel, feeling worried. “Princess...who are 'they'?”
I heard a soft sigh come from her before she responded, “The 27 Dead Apostles. They've come for the newly risen True Ancestor...you, Fluttershy.”

I liked it...sort of. I got really confused towards the end. Please explain?
3712639
Understandable...I was running out of words, so I had to wrap things up in kind of a hurry. Basically, she was in a nightmare conjured by the "27 Dead Apostles", trying to make her succumb to her vampirism. Luckily, we've got a dreamwalker to help out, i.e. Princess Luna. She sent Angel Bunny into her dreams to prevent that.
3712655 So was the whole thing a dream?
3712658
Indeed it was ~
It's a tired trope, I'm certain, but it's also something I can build upon later.
3712662 Oooooh okay that makes much more sense.
Hey, want to take a look at my WTG entry?
3712667
Of course, since you took the time to view my work. PM the link over yonder
Wait a minute...Tsukihime?
Well I have to say, this is the first work I've seen that merges Equestria with the Nasuverse...outside of the few Fate fics out there.
Short, but still well done...
However, I'm quite sure that even Celestia would be far outclassed against the full force the 27 put together, much less Luna or Fluttershy (Type-Mercury alone would probably tear through them).
...
Hmm, all out war with the Nasuverse would certainly be an interesting plot line...albeit a short one.
Eh, could be better. Upvote but no Fav.
3712931
I wrote it in two days, whaddya want
3712871
And congratulations, you're probably the only person here who's gonna get the references I've made
It's comforting to know there are indeed other anime/manga fans out there that are also bronies ~
3712871 Ehh, I dunno about Celestia and Luna being outclassed - considering how closely they're tied to the sun and moon, they could be considered existences that are not Equestrian. By Nasuverse rules, this would make them on the same level of existence as TYPE-Moon and Type-Mercury. I mean, Luna/NMM being sealed in the moon sounds kinda like what Zelretch did to Crimson Moon Brunestud. (Hehe, Princess Luna = Moon Princess = Tsukihime)
3712976
I suppose with help from the elements they might be able to hold off the Ancestors...
But just imagine the carnage that would ensue if servants were thrown into the mix
I'm not sure what the Nasuverse is, but I like this so far.
Will fav.
3713948
The "Nasuverse" is a fictional universe created by Type-Moon and named after its co-founder Kinoko Nasu. It includes overpowered vampiric cults, figures from ancient history that blow up cities, and wars waged for omnipotent wish-granting magical objects.
Trust me when I say this...
Look it up, watch their shows, and read their works.
Disappointment will never find you...
But being serious, it's one of the best visual novel/manga/anime producing universes I've ever seen.
I suggest starting with Fate Stay Night.
...
Completely random and indirect advice has been given
3714027
Intriguing.
I do enjoy vampires, explosions, and omnipotent wish granting thingy-mibobbers after all.
3714166
3714027
The irony here is that they became popular despite starting out as eroge visual novels
Just goes to show you that if you create a story compelling enough, it doesn't matter what the medium is. As for me, I discovered it though a Melty Blood combo video back in 06'...
You should check out some of their games too. You won't be disappointed ~
Here and here
So... Was Len the one responsible for the nightmare?
BTW this may be a bit crazy in your opinion but will Shy's stare affect Primate Murder?
And with her present state as an Apostle can Fluttershy use Magecraft? And if she can. does she have some Marble Phantasm/Reality Marble?
Having wielded the Element of Kindness before she's got to have magic right?
Either way if you wish to continue this, or write anything else concerning the Nasuverse you have my attention.
3720375
As Len and Arcueid tend to distance themselves from the affairs of the Ancestors (if at all possible), I would doubt she had anything to do with it. Their own natural vampiric abilities would most likely allow them to invade dreams.
As for Primate Murder, I think there would be no need, speaking as he specializes in killing humans only. As a force of Gaia though, I would have to say the stare would have no effect.
And as for thaumaturgy; as soon as she awakened her natural abilities, they would all be usable. Save for the reality marble,as those are reserved for demons and certain servants.
I wouldn't be that excited about it at any rate...
She has to deal with Kotomine now...
3720375
Unfortunately, as it stands, finishing the first arc of my biggest story has my attention right now. I've been working on it for over a year, and I'm really eager to at least wrap up the first third of it. As for continuing this, it's a tossup. I plan writing a oneshot every weekend for the Writer's Training Grounds, and between that and finishing up Ancient Legacy, I wouldn't have much time to shoe in writing another epic like this.
...also, I'd need to do research
3721507
Speaking as you have piqued my interest, I can only hope that you or someone on the site can someday find the time to build a story as awesome as this could be. Till then, I'm quite content with reading over the amazing bits and pieces that you and others throw out to us.
Heck I may even start it myself if I find the time...unlikely with my upcoming fic in progress, but more than worth taking a swing at (or an elbow thrust, followed by a curbstomp)

ah.. Though as she IS a True Ancestor she might be able to use a Marble Phantasm right?
Essentially it's just an ancestor/elementals ability to connect To the world/nature and alter it to their worldview.
It's nice to know some bronies are knowledgeable in the nasuverse.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepic~
Great story but you need to continue it , the way you left off wasnt like a one-shot if thats what this is
4298995
All of my WTG entries are open to continuation, the problem is actually getting the motivation to do it
And besides that, I've got several other works I've been wanting to start and/or finish, i.e. the final arc of Ancient Legacy and an open world collab I've been trying to get started on for the longest time. Either than that, it's entirely possible that I'll come back to this story once I've got the full story planned out in my head. Something set in Tsukihime simply must be grandiose
4299154 Well heres some moustaches for that motivation and do something like flutters being confused or the like of being a true ancestor and her eventual acsent to being or understanding it.
Hope u continue soon!
4307035
Well with the way people are suddenly giving notice to it, it might be sooner than later ~
4307074 :D yay!
Ah, I almost didn't recognize this as a fate-verse fic... then I read Dead Apostle.
Interesting. Also promising. Would read more happily, especially if you had a good plot... or you could just ponify everything.
4329357
As Uncle would say, "I must do reseaaaarch."
That and I've yet to really come up with something groundbreaking. If there's two things I've learned about crossovers, it's this - character driven narrative is paramount, and originality is key. Last thing I wanna do is write something predictable and contrived
4329762 I know the feeling. It's part of why I've been unable to continue my own fic (aside from the fact that the more I look at the plot the less plausible it feels) though I don't have a fantastic track record to begin with.
4329762
In all honesty I can say this...when has Type-Moon ever been capable of being predictable?
Just you bringing a Tsukihime crossover onto this site is pretty damn original.
From a writer's standpoint though, I can understand your trepidation. (I get the same feeling while writing my own fic.)
Still, the whole universe is ripe with potential that even Type-Moon themselves hasn't yet visited. So keep a positive outlook on an opportunity like this.
Lest the wrath of Gilgamesh be upon you...
Fluttershy as a True-Ancestor? Nasuverse meeting Equestria? The possibility of seeing the DAA interacting with certain Equestria residents?
...
Oh, I'm definitely keeping an eye on this.
GOW IS THIS FINISH?!!??!!?!?!?
4502212
?
GOW
If you're wondering if I'm working on this, then I'm not at the moment. My priority right now is editing Ancient Legacy.
4502254 DONT QUESTION MY SPELLING PLS!!!
Just read this today. Really interesting! I actually thought Twi was going to kill her at first.
3712976
Sure, they'd be able to compete with Nasuverse things if you arbitrarily buff them to compete with Nasuverse things by giving them Nasuverse powers.
The canon Celestia and Luna however, don't really show that kind of power. In battle they've pretty much got lasers, flight, telekinesis, and durability. The sun and moon thing seems... odd and hard to quantify. More like Link playing the Sun Song in OoT to change night into day and day into night than having the TK required to sling stars around. Particularly with the displays of power from the Season Four finale.
They don't exactly have a bad powerset, but it doesn't really put them on the tier of 'warps reality into an alien landscape where all life is not tolerated by moving'. They'd do quite well outside of the alien space gods though, I'd say.
4546023
Holy crap. Me too
4839444
Wow Karna, fancy seeing you here...pretty you were dead the last time I saw you though...
Thank you for helping to clarify that point though...
Hmmm...Karna the sun demigod...versus Princess Celestia...
Totally something I'd be interested in seeing.
4329762 in other news, and yes I know it's been a good year since I came upon this...
Well, while i can't WRITE complete stories, I find ecstasy in the act of working up plot timelines, worldbuilding notes, and outlines for stories. Perhaps we could put something together?
6121712 It's something to keep in mind, I suppose. Though as of right now I'm suffering from an extreme bout of apathy.
6121826 certainly a terrible foe. Hnnn.... I'd offer you the link to my idea library in hopes that stimulus might kill that nasty little thing in your head, but I don't want to be pushy. Tell me if you feel like taking a shot at a plotting session K?
