> Out For Blood > by Stormwind > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Yeah I'm about to leave right now … I wont bet late, I'll see you there bye.” Troy put his cellphone in his pocket and looked himself over in the mirror. Troy wore a count Dracula costume for the Halloween house party his friends were attending. After brushing his hair and putting his false vampire teeth in he grabbed his car keys off his bed and headed down stairs. “Alright mom I'm leaving!”, Troy shouted as was about to walk out the door when he was stopped by his mom. “Oh Troy, On the way can you drop your sister off at Courtney's?” Troy's sister Abby came from the living room dressed as a Fairy Princess. Troy looked at his mom like she just took his car away. He knew his sister's friend lived on the south side of the city which was miles away form the party. The seventeen year old was not happy. “But mom I'll barely be able to get to the party, why cant dad do it?” His mom gave him a stern look that made Troy almost swallow his fake teeth. “You know your father is sick and is in no condition to drive so since I have to stay for the trick r treaters and your the only other person in this house with a car you'll have to do it.” Troy sighed in defeated frustration as his six year old sister ran out the door towards his car. Abby honked on the horn to get her brothers attention. “Come on Troy lets go!” she shouted as Troy walked straight to the Drivers side of the vehicle. As they were driving Abby kept playing with the radio even though her brothers number one rule was to not touch his radio. “HEY! What did I tell about messin with my car!” Troy shouted. “So its just a stupid car your the boss of me!” Abby shouted back as she started to turn on the AC. Troy was so tempted to make her walk the rest of the way but he had to put up with her. “Look just stay still and don't say or touch anything until we get to Courtney's got it? “ Abby crossed her arms and looked out the window while troy tried to stay focused on the road when his cell phone went off. Despite his better judgment Troy pulled his phone out and answered it. “Hello? Yeah I know I'm late but have drop my sister off... No I'm not bringing her to the party mom and dad will...” Troy didn't finish his sentence when he saw a bright light coming towards him. The light was coming right towards him and fast. Abby noticed this and started to panic. “Troy watch out!” Abby shouted as Troy gripped the steering wheel with both hands and tried to swerve out of the way. "What the fuck is that! Troy Shouted". The light grew bigger an brighter as it got closer. “Is that a car? no that's not a car.” was the last thing Troy thought before the light blinded him. Chirping birds has the first sound he heard when he slowly regained conciseness. He opened his eyes and saw that its a bright and beautiful sunny day which Troy thought was odd since a moment ago it was eight o-clock at night. Troy forced himself up feeling his bones crack like the haven't been used in years. “How long have I been out and where the hell am I?” Troy looked around and saw he was alone In the middle of a field. As he looked he realized something was missing or rather two things.” Wheres my sister!? and wheres my car?” Troy asked himself even though he knew not the answer. Abby! Abby! “ABBY WHERE ARE YOU!?” Troy shouted but there was no answer his eyes settled on a small town that was at least a couple miles away if Abby wondered off she'd had to be there. Troy stood there in the middle of the street starring at the citizens and they stared back. Troy couldn't believe what he was seeing, it wasn't the fact that the town looked liked an old English village or that there wasn't any cars phone booths or whatever. It was that the people looked like some kind of anthro horses that were multicolored. The ponies all looked at him an then started whispering to each other. "What the hell is this shit?" Troy thought to himself. Finally one of the approached him. It was a mare who had a white coat, purple stylized hair and a horn on her head. “Sir are you alright? you look pale.” Troy could barely hear her as he was to busy starring at her from head to... hoof? She had a perfect hour glass figure wide hips and big boobs she was wearing a light blue sleeve less shirt and a black skirt. She kept talking to him but gave no response. Soon another mare stepped forward this one was orange and was dressed like a cowgirl. She wore a red flannel shirt, dirt covered blue jeans and a cowboy hat. She was slightly bulky as her muscles could be seen through her sleeves and she to had a huge rack though not as big as the white ones. “Ah don't think he understands ya Rarity.” she said to the white one. “Oh um... do. You. Speak. Equish?” Rarity asked but Troy just stood there like a mindless zombie staring at her. Uhhh... was all that came out of his mouth.” normally troy would freak out by now but he could'nt help but stare at Rarity's chest it wasn't because of here breasts... well it was part of it but what caught his attention was that he could see her heart and the blood pumping through her veins. At that very moment troy felt an emptiness in his stomach like he hasn't eaten since he was born. “I think he likes ya.” the orange one teased. Rarity looked at her with an annoyed expression "that's not funny Applejack." “He might be the stallion to sweep ya off yer hooves like you've been prayin for. “ Applejack commented and burst in to laughter. Rarity's face blushed and she began to huff at this but before she could say anything else Troy finally spoke up. “E-Excuse me... I n-need...” Troy said as his pupils began to shrink and his breathing became rapid. “H-h e can speak Equish.” Applejack said. “A-Are you alright darling what do you need?” Rarity asked with both hesitance and concern in her tone. “I need. I need...” Troy tried to Speak while all the other ponies around stared and whispered to each other. "You need?" Rarity asked. “I need... YOU!.” Troy shouted as he grabbed rarity by her shoulders and viciously bit down on her neck. Troy felt the warm blood fill his mouth then run down his throat. To him it was like drinking the most delicious steak he had ever tasted. Rarity couldn't scream or fight back she felt her self got limp in and instant and heart beat begin to slow down like the life was being sucked out of her. Applejack stepped in and punched Troy in the face causing him to drop his prey. Applejack dropped to her knees and held rarity in her arms. “Rarity are you okay speak to me!.” Applejack said while Troy look at the crowed with jet black eyes and a mouth with fangs covered in blood. In an instant there was mass panic as every pony in town was running around screaming. Troy soon regained his senses an saw every running and hiding and applejack cradling her best friend. Troy recalled what happened and was shocked at what he had done. "Oh god what did I just... I...didn't mean to-" Troy was cut off by a swift kick to the gut sending him flying across the ground. As soon as he came to a stop he saw hovering above him was a cyan blue mare with rainbow hair and a pair of wings. She was wear a black sleeveless shirt and dark blue track shorts her body was noticeable lean and athletic and she had in Troy's opinion an average sized chest. Why he focused on the boobs of a horse women he did know but one thing was for sure she was pissed. “WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIEND!?” she asked as Troy got back on his feet. “Wait this is a mistake.” Troy said but she tackled him to the ground and started punching in the face. “Please...stop.” Troy begged but she didn't listen she continued her assault with pure rage in her heart. With each punch Troy felt his own anger boiling up. “First I miss the party, then I lose my car, then I lose my little sister and now I'm being attacked by some alien horse freak!” Troy thought as his anger had finally reached its peak. “KNOCK IT OFF!” Troy shouted as he kicked the mare off of him. The force of the kick sent her flying through air until she finally made herself stop. “Rainbow!” Apple jack shouted “I'm gonna get twilight and the others keep him busy until then!” she said as she carried Rarity away to safety. “Got it.” Rainbow said as she dived toward Troy. Troy on almost pure instinct turned himself into a red mist causing Rainbow Dash to pass rite through him and crash into the ground. Troy reformed himself and felt his head spin. “Wow as soon as I figure out how I did that I'm never doing it again.” Troy said as he turned around and saw rainbow whose head was stuck in the ground. Troy wanted to walk over to help her out but she pulled herself out and shook the dirt out of her hair. Rainbow whipped around to face her opponent and troy went into a trance like state again. He saw that rainbows nose was bleeding and it was making his senses go crazy. Rainbow saw Troy cover his face with his hands and start grunting and shouting. She didn't know what to make of this until he finally stopped and look at her with his jet black eyes and a monstrous look on his face. “What are are you?” she asked as she stared into his empty, near soulless eyes. Rainbow didn't have time to react as Troy instantly tackled her and held her arms down. Rainbow tried to struggle free but her opponent has proven to be much stronger than her. Troy leaned his head down towards her snout and licked the blood from her nostrils. “Ew gross get off of me you freak!” Troy didn't listen he looked down at her chest and saw her beating heart. “Your blood I want it give it to me.” Troy said in a deep and smooth voice. Rainbow was shocked by this his voice was somehow hypnotic that she couldn't help but listen to every word he spoke but she had to resist. “N-no.” Rainbow said but troy looked her in the eyes an she did the same. Rainbow saw his eyes change from black to red and the started to glow. I felt like her very will was remove from as she stop struggling. “Please... feed me.” rainbow didn't answer instead she turned her head to the side showing him her neck. Troy licked his lips and lowered his mouth towards her but he was blasted away by a pink energy blast that sent him crashing through a building. Three ponies came running towards Rainbow dash fearing for her life. “Rainbow are you alright? Rainbow!?” Twilight said as she pulled rainbow dash back up but she didn't respond she just gave the a distant look. Pinkie pie moved Twilight over “don't worry twilight I got this.” pinkie to a deep breath then shouted. “RAINBOW DASH SNAP OUT OF IT!.” she the repeatedly slapped rainbow across the face. Troy crawled out of the man shape hole he made and shook his head what ever hit him knocked him back to his senses again. He saw more ponies surrounding the one he was fighting and one of the, a pink one with curly hair wearing a yellow t-shirt and a light blue miniskirt was as troy put slapping that shit out of her. the other one was purple and she was wearing a black t-shirt with a pink star on it and blue jeans. but what was strange about this one was she had a horn and wings. once again Troy focused on their chests and saw that the pink one was flat chest while the other one had a slightly larger bust than Rainbow but still paled in comparison to Rarity and AppleJack. Troy shook his head to get his mind off of horse boobs and focus on the situation at hand. After several slaps rainbow regained her senses. “Pinkie stop I'm awake.” Rainbow said as Pinkie kept slapping her. Are you sure you sound awake but...” Twilight garbed her before she could slap her again “She's fine.” Twilight said as she looked at Troy who was dusting off his cape. “Is that the pony who attacked Rarity?” Twilight AskedRainbow with an Angry and determined tone in her voice. "Yeah but I don't think hes a pony this guys got some weird powers." Twilight didn't say anything else she fired another energy blast at Troy but he managed to dodge It but jumping out of the way. Twilight continued to fire lasers at him while troy ran for dear life. "THEY SHOOT LASERS NOW !? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!” Troy mentally screamed he then fell to the ground and saw his feet were tied up by a lasso thanks to Applejack. Troy looked up at Pinkie who was now wearing and army helmet “Say ello to little friend.” she said as she pulled a cannon from out of nowhere and fired it in his faced Troy was sent flying into the air screaming while covered in cake frosting and streamers. As soon as Troy was above her Rainbow flew up passed Troy and the Dropped kicked in then stomach. Troy fell straight into a cage the Twilight had created out of random materials. Troy got back to his feet and tried to break open the cage but it was sealed shut. “LET ME OUT!” Troy shouted. "No you harmed my friends and now your are going to stand trial for your crimes. " Twilight answered. Twilight summoned a piece of paper and a pencil and began to write something. as soon as she was done she walked over to the girls. “I'm going to report this to Princess Celestia, keep an eye on him.” Rainbow and Applejack nodded While Pinkie Saluted her. Twilight then teleported away leaving the girls with Troy. Pinkie Looked at Troy and walked to him. “Pinkie don't go near that thing.” AppleJack said. “Relax its not like he can hurt us anymore”. Troy sat in the cage thinking to himself. "Whats happening to me? i bit that horse girl drank blood...and now I got superpowers...And I still got my ass kicked! I bet I'm gonna get locked for life or..." His thoughts were interrupted by a pink blue eyed face starring at him. Somehow her cheery smile annoyed him. “What?” Troy said in an angry tone “Y'know if you weren't such a big meanie we could've been friends and I would've thrown you this awesome welcome to Ponyvile party.” the word ponyvile caught his attention “ponyvile? is that what this place is?” Troy asked "Duh how could you not know, what with all the ponies and all." Pinkie said. "So they're ponies. did I end in another dimension or did mankind screw up so bad that horses took over?” Troy thought to himself . “You kinda look like the alien in Canterlot say are you an alien to?” Pinkie asked. “Im not a...Alien? what Alien?” Troy Asked. “The one Princess Celestia is keeping, shes so cute to, She was dressed like a princess with a cute little wand and a-.” Pinkie didnt finish her sentence as Troy's had reached through the bars on his cage and grabbed her throat. Troy Turned into mist again and reformed out of the cage. He looked her dead in her eyes. “Where is she?” > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earlier Spike had just finished sweeping the library, and thus completing everything on his chore list, when all of a sudden he heard the sounds of ponies screaming and a loud knock on the door. Spiked put his broom down and walked over to the door to answer it. It was none other than Applejack who carrying a bleeding Rarity in her arms. Spike went wide eyed and his heart skipped a beat. “What happened!?” Spike asked. Applejack didn't answer right away, instead she put Rarity on the couch. “Spike!” Applejack yelled. “Get the first aid kit!” Spike ran into the kitchen to do just that. Twilight came down stairs after hearing all the noise and saw Rarity, covered in blood “What happened?” She yelled, alarmed at her friends current state. “Rarity was attacked by a...I don't know but Rainbow is in trouble.” Applejack answered as Pinkie pie pop up out of the floor board, shaking dirt of of her hair, and nearly scaring Applejack to death. “Rainbow is in trouble!? Well then what are we waiting for, let's go!” Pinkie said as she practically flew out of the door. Applejack decided to wait some other time to figure out how Pinkie got under the floor and followed her. Twilight stopped at the door and looked back at Spike, who was rapping Rarity's neck with bandages he got from his first aid kit. Twilight placed her hand on the young drake's shoulder. “Don't worry, Spike. We'll take care of her when we get back okay?” Twilight gave spike a sincere smile which Spike returned with his own. He looked back and started stroking Rarity's hand while Twilight ran out of the door, ready to give who ever is responsible a piece of her mind. Right now Troy held Pinkie up by her neck and started squeezing as she gasped for breathe. Applejack and Rainbowdash ran towards him. "Put her down!" Applejack shouted. Troy simply looked at them. "Gladly." He said and he threw her into the two other mares, causing them all to fall over. Meanwhile, Spike had just sent the letter Twilight wrote to the princess. “Twilight, I'm freaking out here. What's going on? What happened to Rarity?” Spike asked, his voice full of concern. Twilight sighed and decided to explain everything. Spike clenched his fist and gritted his teeth “Where is he?! I'm gonna make pay for he did to Rarity!” He yelled, running towards the door with fire bellowing from his nostrils. Twilight stopped spike with her magic and brought him back over to Rarity's side. “Spike we already have him captured, there's nothing you can do except care for Rarity.” Spike crossed his arms, but his anger was interrupted when he belched up a letter from Celestia herself. Twilight took the letter and read as followed: 'Dear Twilight, I'm glad you brought this to my attention. If it is possible, I need you to bring the creature to Canterlot. He might have a connection to our guest. Please be careful. Love, Celestia.' Twilight rolled up the letter. “Alright Spike, I'm going to deliver our 'guest' to Princess Celestia. Stay here with Rarity.” Twilight said. Spike nodded as Twilight left the library, leaving the young drake alone with the still unconscious Rarity. “Oh Rarity, if I could I would beat that monster till he's an inch from death.” Spike said, but he noticed that Rarity was starting to stir. As soon as Twilight got there, she was shocked to see that the cage was empty and the girls were lying on the ground. "What happened?" Twilight asked as she helped them up. “Sorry Twi, but he got the jump on us then-“ Applejack started, but was cut off by Pinkie Pie. “Then he asked us where the alien princess is! At first I didn't wanna say anything, but then his eyes started glowing and I wanted to tell him everything! Like how I can get chocolate cake on a discount, and that I wore panties on my head for a week that one time, and that I was in a one pony band in high school, and-” Then Rainbow dash interrupted. “And Pinkie told him where Canterlot was, and the freak turned into a giant bat and flew straight towards the city!” Rainbow finish as she pointed in the direction he flew in. Twilight's ears fell flat. “Oh no. We have to get to the city, fast. Rainbow get Fluttershy, we'll meet at the train station.” The girls nodded and went their separate ways. Troy, as a bat, flew towards the city on the on the side of the mountain. While flying, a number of questions where flowing threw his head. How did know he could turn into a bat? How did he get turned into a vampire? “What the hell happened to me? I wonder if that weird light had anything to do with it? I'll figure it out ounce I get Abby back.” Troy thought to himself as he flew down to the busy streets of Canterlot. As soon as he reached the city, he flew into an alley way and changed back into his original form. He looked at himself the a window and saw what he now looked like. His skin was slightly pale, almost blue. His ears were now pointed, his eyes were yellow instead of green and his black suit and matching cape were made of real cloth. Troy pulled on his fangs to see if the would come out but they didn't, they were real too. "Maybe this isn't real. Maybe this a dream or some bodies idea of a sick joke." Troy tried to rationalize. “No, this city, these ponies, its gotta be real and my sister could be being held prisoner I have to find her and get us out of this James Cameron bull shit.” With his resolve in mind Troy walked of the ally way and soon caught the attention of every pony around. "Who is that?” One of them whispered. “And what is he wearing? Is Gothic back in style? He certainly doesn't look like a pony. He must be another alien.” The whispering was bothering him, but what really drove him crazy was that he could hear their thoughts. There were so many voices in his head, all talking about him at ounce that he couldn't take it any more. “SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP, I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK!” Troy screamed causing the ponies to back away in fear. He realized what was happening and took a deep breath. “Look I just want to...” “Get away from us!” One mare said as Troy walked closer to them. “Somepony call the royal guard! Get that lunatic out of here!” “Hey I'm just trying find...” Troy was cut off again when he felt a hand wrap around his arm. “Sir your coming with me.” A large stallion said. He was brown and wore what looked like a cross between a knight and roman armor that was gold colored. He had one hand on Troy and the other on his sword, which has hanging by his hip. Troy felt his anger coming up and began to resist. “Get your hand off me.” Troy threatened "No, your coming with me right now!” The armored stallion said. “Yeah, lock that freak up! Get him off our streets!” The ponies scream. Finally Troy lost it again. “I said get your hands off me, YOU DAMN DIRTY HORSE!” He screamed as he punched the guard in the face, sending him flying across the street. Troy's eyes turned black and his face contorted into a more demonic look. He growled and started to attack the guard again. The guard quickly got to his hooves and unsheathed his sword. He tried to swing it at him from the side, but Troy garbed the foolish stations arm and squeezed breaking his wrist. “AAAARRRRGH!” The stallion screamed as he felt his bones snap as easily as a toothpick. Troy then punched him in the face again, followed by a knee to the stomach. Finishing his assault he bit down on the stallions throat, ripping it out. The stallion fell to the ground and, to every pony's horror, Troy began to feed on the stallion. He drank until his stomach couldn't take in anymore. He threw his head up and gasped at the sensation he just felt, then turned his monstrous gazed towards the crowd who the proceeded to scream and panic. Troy turned his sights on a castle that was within walking distance and proceeded towards it, leaving the corpse of the stallion behind. As he headed towards the castle more armored soldiers charged him. Celestia, at a small table, was sitting in a large white room full of toys and books. Her only company was a small child with blond hair, a silver tiara and wearing a blue sparkling dress. She was not a pony but rather she was, as she called herself, a fairy. She was levitating a group of blocks into a tower using only simple hand gestures. “That's quite impressive. Your magic is improving faster that we had expected.” Celestia said, but the little girl didn't seem to care. She kept stacking more blocks. “I guess so...have you found my brother?” She asked. Celestia gave her a sad look. “I'm sorry Abby, we have not found him yet. Don't worry, we're doing everything we can to find him.” Celestia assured. “Can I help? Can I go outside? I don't wanna be hear anymore.” Abby said. Celestia's expression changed from sad to worried. “Abby, you know you can't leave. As I told you, your magic is unstable. You need to learn to control it before...” Abby stood up. “I DONT WANT TO CONTROL IT, I DONT WANT TO LEARN, I WANT MY BOTHER!" Abby screamed. Her fairy wings began to flutter and as they did, her eyes flashed pure white and the room began to shake. Soon the mini earth quake she caused died down and tears ran down her eyes. "I want to go home" Abby sobbed. Celestia pulled Abby into a gentle hug and began to stoke hair. “I know baby...I know.” Celestia said. However this moment was interrupted by a guard pegasus stallion knocking on the window. “Look I need to attended to this but when I get back will talk about going outside okay?” Celestia said giving a her the warm, motherly smile she was known for. Abby sniffled as Celestia wiped her tears away. “Okay” Abby said. Celestia gave her a kiss on her forehead and walked towards the door. "Don't forget to practice" She reminded her, Abby only nodded and went back to levitating her blocks. Celestia closed the door behind her and addressed guard standing before her. “What is it soldier?” Celestia asked. “Ma'am, we have a situation in the city. Reports are coming in that some kind creature is attacking the citizens and has killed one of the guards.” Celestia went wide eyed at this. “What kind of creature? What does it look like?” She asked as her voice grew louder. “Eye witnesses state that it almost resembles the small alien but its very strong and hostel.” Celestia began to feel fear for the first time in centuries as a idea came into her head that she hoped would be wrong. “Where is the creature now?” She asked hesitantly. “Its headed this way ma' am" The guard answered. “Oh no, Abby might be in danger! Take the princess to my sister and tell her to go to the danger room I will deal with creature myself.” The guard saluted and went over to Abby's room. “If it is after her, then I will not let it hurt her or anypony else.” Celestia thought as she teleported away. “Miss Abby. You must come with me at once.” The guard ordered. “Whats going on?” Abby asked, but the guard just walked over and grabbed her. "I need to take to Princess Luna right away." “Wait stop, your hurting me!” Abby screamed. “We need to go!” The guard ordered. “No!” Abby Screamed. “I said lets go!” the guard pulled her up, but the room started shaking and a bright yellow light flashed from her body “NO!” She yelled as the guard was pushed out of the window and into the wall. The guard fell unconscious as Abby ran out of the room towards a large window where she could see the city and heard the screams of frightened ponies. Her gazed shifted towards Celestia, as she was flying down towards some thing. Even though she was told not to, Abby decided to give her wings a test run. Abby flapped her fairy wings as hard as she could and proceeded to jump out of the window. Meanwhile another armed guard charged towards Troy, but he garbed him by his head and twisted it at 180 degree angle. With all forces that dared oppose taken care of, he marched towards the two large front doors of the castle. He suspected his missing sister was in there somewhere and he was about find out when a golden laser shot down in front of him. "Halt creature!" Troy looked up to see a flying, white mare wearing a white and gold dress, looking down on him. She had a horn and wings just like the purple one back in Ponyville, except she looked taller than her and had a stronger wave of energy coming from that he didn't like. She touched down in front of him, blocking his path. He noticed that her hair was rainbow colored and flowed in a non existent wind. Troy finally spoke. "Whats wrong with your hair?" Celestia was stunned by that question for a brief moment but soon regained her focus. “What are are you, and why do you attack my citizens?” Troy didn't answer right away, he was to busy staring at her body. She had long legs, wide hips, a small waste and breasts that could give Rarity's an inferiority complex. They were that big. Celestia grew impatient and yelled, “This is the last time I'll repeat myself. Why are you here!?” Troy looked up at the castle and gave his answer. “I lost someone, a little girl, and I think she's in there. So would you please kindly tell me where she is?” Celestia felt a bead of sweat slide down her head. “I knew it. He is after Abby.” Celestia thought. “What do you want with her?” She asked. Troy looked at her with a serious and stern expression. “I'm going to take her home where she belongs, and I''d appreciate it if you stand aside.” he explained. “I'm afraid I can't do that. You attacked my citizens, my soldiers, and my former student and you will be punished accordingly.” Troy looked at her like she was crazy. Was sh actually going to challenge him? “Lady, you do not want this fight.” He warned her. “Oh, but I do. If you wish to get through those doors...” Celestia clapped her hands together then pulled them apart revealing an orb of yellow light that morphed into a golden sword. “you'll have to get through me!” Celestia declared. Troy gritted his teeth and felt his anger rising like a volcano ready to blow. “Your really gonna make me do this. After all the shit I went through today, your really make me fight you? FINE! YOU WANT ME, YOU GOT ME!” Abby struggled to keep herself in the air, but managed to keep herself from falling to the ground. She looked and saw two individuals having a stand off. Abby hid behind a wall and looked to see what was happening. “I am Princess Celestia, regent of Equestria. And who might you be addressed as?” Celestia asked, pointing her sword towards him. Troy looked at her. “My named is...” Even though he wanted to say his real name one other name came into mind, one he felt comfortable with. He flashed a horrific smile. “My name is...Dracula.”
