Drago Ryder

Tempest was slightly surprised at this. "So, this thing might be some form of evolution?" He asked. "That is highly unlikely." Tempest noticed Thunder's scent in the air. He smirked and waited for an opportunity. "Anyway, is there anything tha texplains how I might be somehow resisting the infection. It just doesn't make sense." The cyan pegesus noticed that Thunder's scent was in the air,"Something isn't right.Thunder shouldn't know where we are." He thought

Tempest sighed. "I honestly don't know. I haven't seen her since the outbreak." The cyan Pegesus sighed. "The last time I saw her was in Canterlot. We got separated from each other when the virus, or whatever is causing this, turned this into a bloody epidemic." The cyan pegesus then closed his eyes and tried to relax. "I should have done something." The mental version of Tempest put a hoof on his shoulder. "We'll get her back. Trust me." The cyan Pegesus did the smart thing and decided to change the subject. "So doc, any new information from the scan?" He asked, still not moving.

Tempest glanced at Goldie and shrugged. "I've had threats against my life before. It comes with my job." He said. "You also probably knew this already, but Twilight, Rainbow, and probably the rest of the elements of harmony are Vamponies." The cyan pegesus grit his teeth as a flame of anger grew in his eyes. If those monsters touch my sister..." The cyan pegesus didn't finish the sentence, but he did take off his armour and swords. He allowed Wonder to do the CT.

Tempest nodded and looked under the microscope. What he saw shocked and surprised him. "Yeah, the bloods a different color." He muttered to himself. "It also seems to be controlling the host pony, almost like a neurax worm for the blood. This wasn't even in any of my books. You still have to scan my, or Sole's brain, seeing as we are the only available vamponies. We have to know how or if the infection controls the brain." The cyan pegesus the relized he forgot to mention a important detail. "Wonder, we have to find this cure. Luna's a vampony."

Tempest rearranged some of the bones in his jaw and nodded. "Yeah, sorry about the hole. I've been seeing a mental image of my unifected self. Apparently a small portion of my brain hasn't been infected yet. It may be due to something that happened during my birth or something, but I would rather have a MRI just to be sure. As for the cure,I don't have any idea on how to get rid of the this." The cyan Pegsus then did a backflip behind Crimson and retrieved his swords. "I'll be taking those back now."

Tempest entered the hospital and sat in the lobby. "This is starting to get boring." The cyan Pegesus thought, as he read a magazine. "They do realize that I can probably break this muzzle, right?" "I wouldn't exactly do that. You have their trust, so don't lose it. Remember what you're here for." Tempest raised his hoof and punched the mental image. The blow went right through the apparition and created a somewhat large hole in the wall. "They know what the vamponies are capable of. Why do you think they are even concerned about a bloody cure!" The cyan Pegesus yelled, mentally. The mental image rolled it's eyes. "If they wanted you dead, they would have killed you already." Tempest sighed and went for a stroll around the hospital.

Tempest sighed and put on the muzzle. He then nooded and trotted towards the hospital. "There's probably a blod bank around here somewhere." He thought. "If there isn't, then I can just feed off of some animals." The cyan pegesus soon saw the hospital and relized something. How were the other vamponies going to react to his departure. "You should be fine, at least until night, that is." Tempest's mental image of himself said. The cyan pegesus then rolled his eyes and facehoofed. He would've yelled, by the muzzle prevented his mouth from moving much. He then glared at his own mental image, which happened to be in the direction of Crimson.

Tempest noticed Crimson and landed. "I thought some ponies were still here." The cyan pegesus then took the sheath for his two blades and tossed it at Crimson."If it comforts you anymore, then I come in peace.." Tempest then smirked. "You can also blindfold me and take me to your base, which I assume is in the hospital near my home." The cyan pegesus then leaned back and waited for the pyromaniac of a pony to make a decision.

Tempest smirked and decided that it was time to leave the crystal empire. He used his enhanced speed to fly quickly through the shadows of trees and other large objects.Thankfully, it was also somewhat cloudy. If he kept to the darkness, then would be able to reach Ponyville in no time. "This just got very interesting." The cyan pegesus thought. He knew that when night fell, then he would be able to hunt and/or fly to Ponyville unhindered. He honestly didn't care that Wonder had Thunder's blood, but the side of him that wasn't vampiric was right. He had to end this before it got out of hand.

Tempest heard a pony scream and noticed Thunder and a mare in the distance. The mare was lying on the ground, obviously dead. "That must have been the pony I smelled earlier." He thought. However, the cyan pegesus could still smell the scent he had earlier. Tempest continued to hunt the pony. "Where could you be." The cyan pegesus then noticed that the scent came from a pony wearing a cloak. His eyes widened as he fully recognized the scent. "Wonder? What are you doing here?" He thought.

Tempest opened his eyes and noticed that a familiar scent filled the air.It didn't smell like any one he knew, but there was a faint hint of untainted blood. "I might as well have a midday snack." He thought. The cyan Pegasus then put on a cloak. Under the cloak, he was still wearing his royal guard armor. He started walking through the castle, using his enhanced sense of smell to find the intruder and being careful not to walk,on any sunlight. "I wonder how whoever this pony is go through the shield. I guess I'll find that out soon enough." He thought.

At this point, Tempest was in his room. It wasn't very big,but it had a bathroom,bedroom,a small desk, and a small collection of books. There was also a small window with the curtins open. It was still night,but the sun would rise eventually. He was currently lost in thought as what to do. He could either stay, or leave and head back to Ponyville. His mind was currently in a power struggle as the real Tempest tried to overpower his own vampiric instincts. "I'm sorry my friends." He thought as his instincts took over. The cyan pegesus then closed the curtains and laid on the bed, eventually falling asleep.

Tempest shrugged and decided to follow Blaze. He then relized who the leaders were and smirked. "It looks like Luna got turned into a vampony to." He muttered to himself. "It'll be good to see her again." The cyan pegesus then noticed that a exact clone of himself walking next to him. "Who the heck are you?" He asked. The second Tempest smirked. "I'm you, or at least the one percent of your brain that hasn't succumbed to the infection." He said. "The only pony that can see me is you. Listen, you have to stop all of this.Thunder may have fallen,but you still have a chance. If you don't, Equestria will fall." The real Tempest simply laughed. "Why would I want to do that?" "Listen to yourself. Is this what the real you would say. After everything we've been through, you're just going to throw it all away?" "Shut up, and get out of my mind!" Tempest yelled. "I'll still be here, but you can always contact me through dreams." With that, the second Tempest disappeared.

Tempest glanced s at Thuder and smirked. "Well, look who's up." He said. "If you want some breakfast, there are animals in the car behind us. Just dump whatever you eat out. We don't want any rotting carcasses scaring the animals." The cyan pegesus then took out his swords and used the whestone installed into their sheath to sharpen the blades. After closely inspecting his prized weapons, he put them back and went back to thinking about nothing in particular.

Tempest sighed as he sat in the back of the train car, away from the others. "I'm going to go get something to eat." He said to nopony in particular. The cyan pegesus then trotted over to the car containing the animals, A squeal of pain could be heard as Tempest fed on one of the animals. When he came back, he looked out the window and began thinking. "So, what are we going to do now?" He asked, looking at the group of three vamponies.

For almost an instant, Tempest, the real Tempest, came out of the control of his instincts. "Find Wonder Tone and the others. Help them find a cure for this. They're probably in the hospital in Ponyville by now." He whispered. As soon as he finished, Tempest came back under the control of his instincts. He simply stood up and sighed. "Well, that was exciting." He thought to himself. The cyan pegesus then trotted into the castle, looking for the others. He noticed Twilight and Rainbow heading his way. "So, what have you two been up to?" He asked, while following the two vamponies.

(Sorry, ignore my last post.) Tempest groaned from pain as he stood up. "I suffered worse, before." He said as he stabbed Krad in the back with one of his swords. "Now then, why don't you just sleep forever." The cyan pegesus the twisted his blade, causeing the wound to expand. He then used his second blade to stab Krad in one of his forelegs. He withdrew the weapons and sheathed them. He then gave Krad a drop kick to the face. "I suggest you stay down. You must be in a awful lot of pain. You'll heal, but it won't be until the sunrises."

Tempest rolled his used his wings to stop himself as he laughed."I think the term that you would be looking for is irony. Also, It's not like we actually have any choice." The cyan pegesus looked at Thunder. "We should get back to the others." He said. Tempest then stretched before heading back into the castle. "That was interesting." He said.

Tempest slammed into Krad and rammed him into a light pole. "I don't think so. No pony hurts my friends. The cyan pegesus then retreated slightly and hit Krad with a round house kick to his chest. Tempest backed up and got his swords ready in case the demon wanted to attack.

Tempest landed in front of his house. He knocked the door open and limped in, feeling the effects of the infection take over. He glanced at Wonder. "Find a cure." He said. "Do it to save all of Equestria. There's a hospital near here." Before Wonder could respond, Tempest ran out the door and flew into the air. He was finally letting the infection take over. Tempest drew his twin swords and laughed like a maniac as he flew towards Canterlot.

Tempest smirked. "The only pony I serve is Luna." He said as he grabbed a syringe from his saddlebag and stuck it in Twilight's neck. He got a good amount of blood into the syringe before he had to fly into the air. "I will find a cure, and I dare any vampony to stop me." The cyan pegesus then smirked as he flew away. He knew that his body couldn't resist the infection forever, so he had to at least get the blood to somepony he knew could actually start on the cure.

Tempest shrugged. "I guess we'll have to be careful, then." He said. The cyan pegesus had noticed Thunder and decided to bring the conversation to an end. "One minute, I have to take care of something." The cyan pegesus then flew into the air. After a few minutes, he landed next to Thunder. "You should have stayed with the others."

Tempest was fairly surprised by this. "So, you were possibly kidnapped?" He asked. "That is... surprising. As for the multiple personality disorder, I have a friend with a similar situation. I don't really mind though." Tempest smiled and continued trotting to Canterlot. "Do you think whoever kidnapped you somehow put their conciousness into you? It's a wild theory, but it's as good as any."

Tempest rolled his eyes and ignored Sole. He was becoming very annoyed with the griffion, but he didn't show it. "I would prefer having the element of surprise. Since it's night, the color of the armor I'm wearing right now is a decent form of camoflauge." After a few more minuets' the cyan pegesus decided to actualy learn something of the griffon. "So, what brings you to Equestria. I mean, we don't see griffion s here very often." He asked, with a hint of curiosity.
