private Vampires in Equestria

[Bada3oom Box 77]

Badaboom felt a rage building up inside her, almost like a different pony altogether. This feeling only continued to grow as Lightning Bliss carried on her plee. The Alicorn's words cut into Boom's patience which was usually under control, but since her return to the Everfree Forest she felt a constant slip of it. As Blissy carried on about how peaceful the vampire race had been in the past, but not showing any consideration for Boom's feelings she finally snapped. "Peaceful yes! And have I not shown anything but kindness and paitence towards you!?! I even risked my own soul for you just trying to help rid you of this illness! Badaboom huffed her breath in anger.

 

Without a way to describe it, Badaboom felt an urge to harm the Alicorn princess. To be the monster she was labled. "I can see clearly...more so than I have in a very long time..." the vampiric mare lowered her burning red eyes to the floor boards below her hooves. "I'll show you the same appreciation you've gave me..." Again Badaboom Box lifted her line of sight to be back on Lightning Bliss. "None..at...all." The vampire pony suddenly swung a hard, unprovoked, hoof to the side of Lightning Bliss's head, to stop her from ranting about the dangers of herself. Maybe it was just her Pride getting the best of her, but the strange compelling sensation to fulfill the prophecy became to much for Badaboom to handle, as she finally gave in, lifting Lightning Bliss onto her back and exiting her home.

 

With just instincts telling her where to go Badaboom Box continued through the dark forest taking winding paths through the shadows until she came to the old, broken down, moss covered, untouched, stone formation hidden among the trees. With just a few oddly marked stones and pillars visible, Badaboom found a flight of equally decayed, decending set of stairs. She proceeded to head down them into the darkness, Lightning Bliss still in tow.

"Please..." Bliss pleaded again...but was only met with a swift...powerful hoof to the side of her head. The pain was brief...as did the results...Once again she gave into darkness...a sleep of unconciousness.

 

-- In her mind --

 

"Well perfect...just perfect...now I'll have to deal with Boom..." Blight snarled as she stared at the unconcious Lightning Bliss laying down in the depths of her mind.

[Bada3oom Box 77]

Deep within the underground caverns and twisted passageways, Badaboom eventually found an open, strangely lit room. The visable sections of the walls seemed littered with ancient texts and depictions. Towards the rear center of the opened space was an alter of some sort. It didn't take a genius to decipher that it was indeed ment to be used in a sacrificial ritual. Badaboom's conscious was nearly completely absent as she rested Lightning Bliss's body on the large stone slab that made up the center piece of the elaborate structure.

 

Looking over the back walls it was now clear (as if it wasn't before) to her, that Boom's destiny led her to this place, on this night, for the one deed she tried so desperately to deny. However now, in this frame of mind, it seemed as if nothing else in the world mattered. Badaboom possessed every nessacery part to fulfill this long awaited prophecy, all that was left, was to wait. Wait for the appropriate time when the BloodMoon hovered in the sky.

Atlas had missed Seth entirely enveloped in the hunt. Alas he had found nothing and headed back home defeated.

 

This was bad. Real bad. Who knows where they were.

 

We need to find them! What if Boom gets to them first?!

 

So be it.

 

What do you mean so be it?! We must be king! I Must be king!

 

If we lose we lose. I can work things with Boom. You'll get you power.

 

But for power... For the greater good...

 

I can work my good. You can get your power.

 

Rage went silent. Atlas took it as acceptance.

 

"Hey!" Shouted a pony. "Hey you!" Atlas perked his ears up looking around. From the sky the three pegusi Atlas had pain to find the friend landed said friend in their hooves looking airsick.

 

"Hunter!"

 

"Celestia, Atlas! Couldn't you have sent me a letter?" The Earth Pony asked wobbling about

 

“No. I’ll tell you why soon”

 

“Ahem” The lead pegasus cleared her throat.

 

“Right, your money” Atlas threw a bag of bits there way which one caught with usual pegasus ease. “Thank you” She smiled and they left beginning to bicker about splitting the bits.

 

“I’d have thought you were farther out. It took them no time to find you”

 

“I would be but I ran into some… problems here and there”

 

“Alright... “

 

Now’s the time. Use him. He can get us to Boom and Lighting Bliss.

 

Should I tell him?

 

No. Not yet. Once the time is right.

 

“Hunter” Atlas bit his lip. He didn’t like using a friend like this. It wasn’t a favor or anything. Sure he had used ponies to get things he needed but that was to pay a debt or something of the like. Not this.

 

“Yeah”

 

“I need you nose” To any other pony the request would have been absurd.

 

“You lose your keys?” He asked with a laugh.

 

“I need your help finding ponies in the Everfree” Hunter’s expression changed to a much more serious demeanor.

 

“That isn’t good. Lost?”

 

“Hunted and lost”

 

“Then come on. We don’t have time to loss with them in there”

 

“Right” The pair ran off toward the forest.

 

…

 

Hunter had gotten the scent. Along the way he’d picked up some others. A wolf, a Zebra, Atlas but he had found the right one.

 

Atlas was behind him watching the trees. If something jumped out to get them he'd have to fight it.

 

“Damn timberwolves. I can just pick the scent over their breath” Hunter with his nose to the ground dug into the earth with his paws walking like a wolf on the hunt, not that he wasn’t”

 

“Yeah” Atlas responded dumbly. He was caught in thinking. Boom? LB? This wasn’t going to be a good clash. Not at all. What if he had to fight Boom? He sure didn’t want to do that.

 

You might have to.

 

No! I am not fighting her.

 

For Power, Atlas.

 

I’m not going to betray her.

 

You might have to! Is all the good we can do worth one puny friend? Not even! An acquaintance.

 

I’ve got a code to stand by.

 

You killed a pony. I think that code is out the window.

 

It ain’t. I will stand by it.

 

Listen to me, Atlas! I don’t want to fight you! If she has already gotten to her then I’ll live with it! If she hasn’t… We’re taking it.

 

No. Atlas grinded his teeth.

 

How can you be so daft! One! One trust! For the world! Listen-

 

“No! I won’t fight her!” Hunter looked behind him.

 

“You alright, friend?” He began. “Who is this her?” He raised an eyebrow at him a bit concerned.

 

“What? Yes, I’m fine. It was nothing”

Hunter frowned. “That was something” His wolf ears perked. “Got it!” Forgetting everything he picked up the scent again. “It’s strong!” He broke into a sprint Atlas just keeping up.

Several minutes passed...but Bliss was only just able to slightly open her eyes, but not move from the cold slab she now laid on. She felt like she was on display for something as she groaned to look up at the stone like ceiling. She noticed some ancient text, all looking like they were begining to glow slightly as the day slowly began to turn to night...Then she looked up and noticed there was an opening directly above her. It was a large circle window through the roof, displaying the colors of dusk as Celestia began her duty of lowering the sun.

 

Tonight was a special night...Lightning Bliss could sense it somehow...Soon Luna would display an ancient reminder to all the world, through her artistic warrior display in the moon...It was to be red...blood red...And...when it rises, it would come to be perfectly centered over this window she was now helplessly laying under. And with that bright red light touches her body...then...then she knew...her life would be at its end...in the fangs of the vampire ruler...

 

"No..." she groaned unable to move, both by her illness and by the pain throbbing headach Boom gave her. The text on the ancient walls were getting brighter...soon they'd be lit ablaze with red when the moon was on top of her. "Boom...Blight...she...she'll...kill..." she gave up talking, merely turning to her side...She didn't know why she did that, turning to her side like that. It only gave Boom better access to her neck.

 

Why am I letting this happen...? I don't want it to...Bliss tried to reason with herself, But...i can't move...I can't use magic...I...I just can't...I feel like...

 

Like this was meant to happen...Dear sister...Blight smiled as she answered the terrified mare, My spell is no longer in control of your body anymore...It's the blood red moon...and the propehcy...this place...You were meant to lie here, on this sacrifical slab...you were meant to give your life for the greater good of a powerful vampire race...

 

But...but there's got to be another way...I don't want to die...what about...my husband? My family...my friends...she began to sob.

 

Shhh...Don't worry... When you're light fades from our body... I'll take over, and I'll deal with all your concerns my way...And Boom will suffer for being so nieve to think that she'd be ruler of the vampire kind!

 

Bliss sobbed more and more, her tears seeming to interact with the slab's own text she lay on. She didn't know what it said...probably merely telling the story of the sacrifical ruler who laid there...was giving their life for the greater good. But one thing was for sure, despite her body had accepted it...She looked up to Boom, for fear of the vampire's dead living life...and her family.

 

A few minutes of crying out of fear and pity...she pulled her mind away from this place...from the fear, from the dark and redness...and focused on her loved ones...

 

She could remember her wedding day, after the dreadful battle between the gryphons and draconequus. The power and love in Nights Hoopla's arms as he took her into his embrace...his soft fuzzy lips...his violet eyes entranced into her own...She remembered their romantic nights together...how gentle he held her as their love turned to pleasure and deep connection. When he spoke to her...his words were soft and with meaning...giving her strength and happiness.

 

"Nights...my sweet Nights Hoopla..." she spoke out, not caring if Boom heard. She could see him...his face...though so distant, he was smiling down on her...She was safe outside her mind, laying on their bed back at home...in their cute mushroom house...It was a beautiful night, she was so tired...and sleepy...but didn't want him to go. "I'm...so sorry I can't...I can't get up...and hold you..." she cried, reaching a hoof out to him, towards the open ceiling.

 

Shhh... it's ok sweety, I'm here with you....I'll always be with you...in your heart. She heard his voice...not caring if she was hullicinating...or mabye even this place itself...was helping her to be calm in the face of death. The illision of her husband took her hoof and placed it down gently. It will be alright....you'll see...

 

"I didn't want it to...be this way...I'm so sorry...I wasn't...a good enough...alico-"

 

No...you are a great alicorn...no matter what happends tonight...You must know this...you are a great...strong alicorn princess...And I am so proud of you...Rest now my love...it will be light soon...

 

The vision suddenly vanished away, and she cried out when he disappeared, reaching out to nothing...only for her to give into his words...and lay there...waiting for the end.

[arkman575 312]

The wolf know that the time was nigh. Cal it wolf instinct, but he was already fearing he was too late. Grabbing the zebra and forcing her to fallow him, he charged into the forest in the search for Bliss and Boom. He had given up on his friends once today.. He didn't plan to do it again. As they ran, the zebra gave a few rhythmic protests about the speed, but Seth knew he needed to get to wherever his nose was pointing them. Arriving at the hut, the wolf looked for the mares. There was no sign. Only a second light scent going off deeper into the woods.

 

"Damn... We don't have much time. Why are they running?" Seth growled, beginning to run again.

 

"I highly doubt it was for fun, but I know their reason for the run." The zebra replied, gesturing to the horizon. It was then that the blood moon began to rise.

[Bada3oom Box 77]

Even though it wasn't yet visable from the chamber, the moment the red Moon appeared in the sky Badaboom could feel it's presence. Her body was filled with an indescribable power, assuming it was an ancient precaution to give her the upper hand to perform the deed, she laughed a little to herself. Silent at first but it grew a bit maniacal when Lightning Bliss muttered something.

 

The Alicorn princess then rolled on her side, a sign that she too had given up to destiny. Boom herself lingered near the alter her firey eyes moving from her prey to the ceiling. As the BloodMoon continued to rise, it's red glow became more and more intense. Soon it's light would shine down through the gap above, and Badaboom would be given untold powers to reshape the world again. Time drew near, as Badaboom took a glance towards the entrance of the chamber, expecting a persistant spectator, but when the coast was confirmed clear she again loomed over Lightning Bliss. Her already prominent fangs growing in preparation.

[Firehearted 120]

Hunter dashed through the forest Atlas in tow. From the horizon a blood red moon emerged. 

 

We need to hurry. The time of ascension draws near.

 

"Pick it up, Hunter!" Atlas shouted to the Werewolf in front of him. "We don't have much time!"

 

If any.

 

The call. Atlas as a slimmer of strength built in him then an avalanche. He was strong. He was the monster in the night.

 

Now is the time, Atlas! Can you feel it?! That's power! POWER!

 

Atlas felt less and less reliant on Hunter as they began to approach the site. An ancient instinct told him where to head but it was weak, as if it wasn't sure he was the one it was meant to call for.

 

...

 

The two burst into a small area not big enough to be considered a clearing but enough to to be swarmed by vines and leaves. This was it.

 

"Now what?" Hunter asked watching the tree line.

 

"Wait here. If I shout come in swinging" Atlas eyes were  crimson red by this point. No need to hold back. Let his fangs hang out. He didn't care.

 

"Got it. Get going" Hunter looked to nod to Atlas but was stopped dumbfounded.

 

"Good. Don't let anyone in!" Atlas hollered as he began his descent. Hunter blinked. Maybe the forest was getting to him. The wolf went back to his task of watching the trees.

 

...

 

"Boom!" Atlas shouted into the almost cave-like passages. His voice echoed through the structure eerily. He picked us his walking pace a bit, something he didn't want to do but Rage seemed to nudge him forward.

 

I can almost taste it! Power! A whole country! The world! Rage reveled to himself at his assumed victory. To him this would be a piece of cake. Trick Boom and take the prize.

 

Atlas didn't like it. Did he really want this? Was he even a capable leader? Why was he following Rage? Instinct. Whatever vampire venom was in his veins it was driving him onward. 

 

 

Atlas arrived at the room. Right there Boom stood over Lighting Bliss. From the doorway he did nothing. Just watched.

 

Go! She's right there! Take it!

 

Atlas's logic was flawed and he knew it. Was this the right thing to do? Should he follow through with the prophecy? Take it for himself? Even let Boom have it? He didn't know.

 

This was it then. Either he did something now or the prophecy would be fulfilled with Boom as queen. Maybe he'd land himself a nice spot among the soon-to-be vampire hierarchy.

Bliss groaned as she heard a new voice echo in the temple...As the moon's red light had begun to touch the end of her back hooves...It almost felt like its raw light was absorbing what little fight she had left...Only to make things more easier...She assumed. Soon as the light engulfed her whole body...Boom would be able to proceed...she'd be ripe for the taking. But then she heard the familiar bellow of Atlas, something sparked within her...that none of this was right.

 

She attempted to lift herself up, but only her head and neck seemed to respond weakly, the rest of her laid where it was supposed to...submissive in the hooves of a vampire. Her hazy eyes looked mercifully at Atlas...his eyes were clearly glowing red...his fangs potruding...Was he here to take her for his own prey?

 

She laid back down...now getting weaker and weaker as the moon approached...She still didn't want to die...and her anxiety became obvious. Her chest heaved up in down as she slowly began to hyperventilate.

 

"I...don't want to die..." she cried out softly.

Zecora heaved and panted as she tried to keep up with the wolf who was powerfully dragging her behind him at full gallop. The moon had come out...it was nearly on top of them.

 

"Oh no my friend Seth...soon Lightning Bliss will meet her death!" Zecora whinnied and loosed her hoof from him and galloped along side for a short time. "The place you seek, is a temple so bleak...It's ancient and old, with vampire bold..." The kept galloping on several more minutes till finally a temple was spoted covered in vine...and seeming to glow by the moon's red light.

 

"There is the temple of blood you see...Hurry you must run swiftly!" Zecora pushed Seth forward, "I will only get in the way, friend of Lightning Bliss, go and hurry...save our Princess...!"

 

The zebra sat down then and began to weep, not knowing if Lightning Bliss was alive or not by this point.

From the brush Hunter watched. Princess? Temple of blood? What was she going on about? For him it didn't really matter right now. He just had to make sure nothing went down there and go to Atlas's aid if he needed it. 

 

A wolf and Zebra. Easy. Hunter didn't expect a fight. The Zebra seemed to be a bit upset right now and in no condition to fight. But the wolf... He could probably take him if he had to. A wolf? Seems intelligent. Must be from that Wolven place or something.

As the light began to pour onto Lightning Bliss, Boom completely missed the first call of Atlas, even though his voice echoed across the walls. Anxiety pulsed through Boom's egar body, made obvious by her flailing tail and fixated gaze. The glow of the BloodMoon soon enveloped the entire form of the Alicorn princess. Badaboom leant in with a uncontrollable urge her fangs grazing Bliss's neck, when Atlas called again, this time quieter but close enough to pull Boom's attention away.

 

Turning to face the pegasus, Boom noted the red glow of his eyes. "Oh Atlas! Thank you friend for keeping that stubborn wolf out of the way. Your here just in time to watch destiny come to fruition. I'm glad your apart of it." After her brief acknowledgment, Badaboom returned to her position over Lightning Bliss as she muttered about her mortality. "Oh? But you shall, for the greater good of my repressed race...you will die." Badaboom whispered the last phrase just before pressing the tips of her fangs through the Alicorn's neck...

All Lightning Bliss could do was cry out...not move or struggle, but sob, not caring if others heard. She could slowly feel some numbness traveling up from her tail and a bit in her legs as her life was slowly being drained...

 

"Please..." she finally coughed up as Boom continued to feast, "I wasn't...the one who...*coughs and gags* did that...to your people...I'm..." she stopped trying to come up with excuses then...knowing very well she was going to die.

When Zecora led the two to a temple, the wolf nearly charged in out of instinct. The only thing that stopped him was a pony standing before him. He was not familiar, and he really didn't know why he had anything to do with this mess. He stood his ground and even advanced. "You know nothing of what is going on here. Step aside, and let me confront Boom once and for...." Seth paused, sniffing the air. Atlas was here.

 

"If you are working for Atlas... he is not what you think. He is corrupted... and will kill you if he doesn't turn you. Let me pass... or we shall all perish!"

"Sorry, Alpha. I can't let you pass" What was this wolf going on about? Were they all like this? "Whatever is down there, Atlas can handle it. Kill me though? Turn me? What are you taking about? Atlas would never kill me and turn me? What does that even mean?

 

He was a bit hurt. Who was he to say what Atlas would and wouldn't do?

 

"How do you know him? Why do you care about his business? You're one of those out to hunt him aren't you? Back off before I kill you both! No one touches him!" Jumping to conclusions Hunter went into defensive mode. No one was getting to his only real friend if he had anything to say about it.

As the last bit of Lightning's life had been drained away, Badaboom took a few paces back. Her eyes closed as she felt a new found energy building within her. Mild at first, but it continued to grow rapidly and unyeilding, as if the surge of magical properties didn't have limit. The seer force that she could feel dwarfed that of any unicorn she had fed on in the past, and it wasn't long until it went to her head. The vampiric mare began the start of an escalating maniacal laugh of victory.

 

With the red light of the BloodMoon pouring down over her vertical form Badaboom continued to revel in her increasing power. That was until it came to a sudden halt. The voice of a familiar wolf stated the obvious from behind, and she prepared to turn with a witty remark. However she found herself frozen in place. The Alicorn magic within her began to twist and manefest in unexpected ways.

 

First came a sharp pain in Badaboom's back. A red glow over took the entirety of her eyes, then accompanied by a cry of anguish, as a pair of rather large bat-like wings stretched out from her shoulders. Tearing out of her fur and tattered red hoodie Badaboom Box dropped back to all fours panting heavily. However she wasn't yet done as the red glow intensified and converged to her forehead where a small pointed bump began to protrude. Another involuntary shriek of pain escaped her as the spike soon extended out into a full horn.

 

Badaboom giggled maliciously through her clenched, elongated teeth as she again felt more magical energies overtake her body. Stomping one front hoof with a metallic clang, the long sleeve of her shirt suddenly exploded in mere fragments of torn fabric. A shimmering black horse shoe was now firmly attached to the bottom of her right hoof. Then like a snake a equally dark chain wrapped up her leg and stopped just below her shoulder where it connected to a metal band. Repeating the process with the same accessory for her left hoof, Badaboom lifted her still burning eyes to those of both Atlas and Seth.

 

Bucking both her rear hooves up behind her similar black shoes took their place on Badaboom however rather than chains slithering down her hind legs they were black leather straps. Then with a thunderous BWAHHM her lime green Cutie Mark became a glowing red as darker red accents ran out of the speaker like those of blood streaks. Her four hooves again firmly on the stone floor, the whites of Badaboom's eyes again visible, yet her iris held the ominous glow.

[Firehearted 120]

Atlas watched in awe and horror. What was his part in this? What was he gaining from this? What part of him would die with this new, vampire form? Those questions would just have to wait. 

 

No. Rage seemed almost dumbfounded. No! NO! How could I have failed?! Rage was much to absorbed in his own anger than in Atlas or any other happening.

 

That wasn't Boom... No... That couldn't have been the Boom he had been with for the past few days. But was it? Questions swam through Atlas' head. But once again this was no time for idle questions.

 

Next to him was Seth, completely oblivious to Atlas, filling to the brim with raw rage. He could attack him but what for? What was his stance here? Who's side was he truly on at this point? Rage had failed, Bliss was dead, Boom wins. That was it... Boom. Wins. The long and drawn out race starting with Sidewinder on the mountain to the damned book to running around Canterlot to this ruin was over. The prophecy was fulfilled. The story is over. The End. But once one chapter closes another must begin.

 

"Boom" Atlas began. "You know what you're doing?" A simple question. Atlas really didn't know what to say at this point. Just maybe a quick realty check would help just to see if she's really in there.

Badaboom held an emotionless expression as her new horn glowed with a bubbling red magic, that lingered over one of the torn leftovers of her shirt. She had used levataion magic before, but never at this level of precision. Easily floating the red ribbon of fabric up behind her head she began to tie the back of her mane up in a physic defying vertical ponytail. "Oh Atlas. I haven't the slightest. Figured I'd just...wing it." The vampire princess laughed as she gave her new appendages a flap. "Of course I know what I'm doing, hahaha. I'm ushering in a new era of chaos, freedom, and peace. At least, for our kind." Boom added shooting the bristling wolf a nonchalant glare.

 

With her mane all bound up Badaboom floated up and over the sacrificial table where Lightning Bliss lay dead. The royal vampiric mare hovered a moment looking down at the living pair in the room. "Now witness the conclusion of this story long for told, as I awaken our race of old!" As she landed on the opposing side of the table, Boom smiled wickedly pulling out her BoomBox from the ground seemingly out of nothing.

 

However Boom hadn't yet turned it on, rather she stood vertically with her left rear hoof resting on top of the musical device. Then in a twisted royal Equestrian voice she called. "For those imprisoned umongst flame and clay! Heed my words, rise and obey! Trek unto the mortal door! Break free of your shackles, and rule once more!"

 

A bone rattling rumble echoed throughout the ruins as stone ceiling fell, walls shifted, and the floor began to rise. At a much more rapid speed than one would expect the ruins reshaped themselves stretching upward towards the sky, taking the shape of an obvious castle. Red, black, orange, purple, and yellow magic all spiraled around the manifesting palace. Upon completion Badaboom, Atlas, Seth, and the still motionless Lightning Bliss were stories above the ground on top of a flat open tower that overlooked the land.

 

The BloodMoon seemed touchably close, and demanded Boom's attention looking up to it a devious smile came over her face. She lifted off the floor and hovered a good distance above the rest, as a terrifying shreak of anger and anticipation cried out into the night, far below at the castle's base. There a red circle of magical energy began to take shape as ancient text and seals appeared, broke, shifted, and grew.

 

Below the soil Boom could feel the restless souls of her vampire brothers, sisters, and followers eagerly making there way to the surface. Lowering her gaze back down to Atlas her smile grew, accompanied by a soft giggle of delight, and grew again into a demented laughter once she put her sights on the wolf. "So then where will you stand?" she questioned the pair at a much more reasonable yet equally threatening level.

All around him the world changed from an underground tomb to a mighty fortress of the night. A new age was dawning and he was in the middle of it.

 

Whether the question was for him or Seth it didn't matter. He had to pick a side in this matter. One would bring prosperity and wealth to him the other death, most likely. One he would be helping the rise of a dark and evil empire the other a death fighting for Ponykind. He had to make a decision. So he embraced the madness around him for better or worse. All thoughts of morals and what was right and wrong was thrown to the wind. The lines between Atlas and Rage blurred and it could no longer to told where Atlas began and where Rage began. 

 

Atlas glanced at Seth and delivered a clean, solid punch to his jaw. "That's for back at the airport!" And again. "And that's for messing with my niece in Canterlot!" And again. "And that's cause I felt like it!" Good bye old Atlas, hello new Atlas.

 

Meanwhile...

 

Hunter had knocked Zecora out cold. She would be fine. To his horror he watched as the castle rose from the earth. Whatever it was it couldn't be good. But what about Atlas?! He would have told him to run. Save himself. Hunter threw the zebra on his back and fled to warn the nearest town.

The wolf had kept at his growl. Bliss dead, and vampire queen. This was beyond words. This was injustice. This was dishonor. This was what wolves were born to stop. This he had to stop.

When the tower rose, the wolf stumbled to the ground. While the building rose above the forest, the wolf looked to the two others. They seemed less phased by the shift. Atlas was lost as well... He had hoped he would at least stand up to the call for order. However, when the building hauled it's assent and the evil mare questioned the two's loyalty, the wolf stood, his glare locked on the mare.

"You...you dare wonder where I stand in this... You killed the mare I had sworn to protect. You cursed the life of Atlas. you corrupted his mind to fallow you. You force me to take my old path of the vampiric ways. Now... Now you dare ask me if i will fight for you. would give my life to see your end. Hopefully, I will." The wolf proclaimed, standing tall. It was short-lived as Atlas took the first swing.

 

He took the punches rather well, however, his muzzle was most likely broken somewhere. When the third punch was delivered, he still stood. With a slight wobble, he felt his rage grow more. A familiar power reviving. "I did what I did to stop this, Atlas. I hope you can forgive me for what Im about to do." 

The wolf then leaped for the pony, his jaw aimed for his neck. When the tow collided, he tried to force the pony off the structure as he held his neck within his jaws.

"ACH!" He'd forgot how resilient the wolf was. The teeth in his neck didn't help either. "HA!" Atlas laughed roughly despite the teeth digging into his neck. "You forgot, wolf. Unless your teeth are silver you can't kill me!" Seth was trying to throw him off the castle was he? Why not? Atlas shoved himself off Seth in tow. "Forget I could fly too?" He smirked. He had Seth dangling high above the ground only by his teeth.

 

"Now do me a favor, pouch, and let go" Atlas laughed at his now seemingly helpless attacker.

My time has come...it is time to rise once more... Blight's grin embellished into the dead body of the white alicorn...

 

While the others were distracted with the alteration of a new castle...and a ugly battle ensued between the wolf and the vampire Atlas...with the new Vampire Princess looking on in front of the once innocent living being of Lightning Bliss...her body began to convulse.

 

Bones began to stretch, crack and tether...as the body began to grow...The hint of her once beautiful gleaming white coat...turned dim horrorific gray...Her rainbow mane and tail, now began to glow in different hues of red...and her began to grow long and pointed. Sharp as a dagger....Sharp as a vampire's fang...

 

The fools would not know what is happening till it was too late...Blight was coming...the real battle would begin soon...

 

(OOC yes none of you realize that Blight is transforming and coming to the scenes, keep it that way lol, I'll emerge soon enough!)
