After finishing the mission Alucard decided to take a break and explore a bit of the world on the way back, after a couple hours of flying seemingly without direction Alucard arrived at a forest that seemed to be calling to him.

It was very dark, not that it meant much to him. Alucard could sense something was near. Alucard's eyes opened wide as he scanned the dense undergrowth. This place was unfamiliar yet he felt attracted to it somehow, but the familiar scent of blood drew him onward, deeper into the shadows. His stomach growled, reminding him of his hunger. He opened his jaws slightly to let the warm smell of the blood reach him, without noticing he started to salivate like he was starving.

Suddenly a flash of gray raced past him. Alucard stopped still, listening, getting ready to fight. It was hiding in the bushes, Alucard could see the eyes of the creature staring at him with curiosity. He could feel the rapid pulsing of a heart deep within the creature. He swallowed, was this what drew him into to the forest?

"Who's there?" Asked Alucard with a commanding tone.

"You shouldn't be here... demon," the creature replied.

"And you shouldn't be alive but here we are" Alucard replied in a threatening tone.

"You don't belong to Equus nor have I seen a demon like you in Makai… you look like a pony but your energy signature... is overwhelming," the creature said. "Regardless, you belong to Makai... you shouldn't waste your time in Equus."

"Boy, either get your ass out of the bushes or I'm gonna level the entire forest."Alucard said letting his killing intent flow.

The creature decided to comply, instead of being a pony he was a big tiger with many marks or tattoos around his white fur.

"My name is Arion, I work for the division of capture and assassination squad two, I was sent to investigate... you, I guess."Arion said in a monotonous tone, "But I know when I'm trying to chew more than I can handle, so I offer you the choice of coming peacefully, the demon lords will be happy to have a strong demon like you in their ranks."

"...Demon lords huh… maybe I'll take a walk there someday but not today, Equestria still interests me, now I'm gonna give you a choice I normally don't offer boy," Alucard replied letting his killing intent flow free again. "Flee or Die!"

"Very well, but just so you know, the demon lords won't drop this case so easily…" Arion replied vanishing out of sight immediately while thinking 'I haven't feel so much pressure in decades, I think it is safe to assume he's at least Demon Lord level, Lux might kill me for failing.'

"Well, that was something," Alucard said taking his path to Equestria again.

After two hours of flying Alucard arrived at the castle, Luna rushed to her 'office' to receive Alucard. After twenty minutes of explaining what happened to his target and the artifact Luna was satisfied with the results.

"So just to confirm, the target is dead and the artifact was destroyed correct? And you also decided to adopt this cat, who know serves under you?" Luna asked while writing something down on paper, and looking at the persian cat.

'Foolish creature! It is you who bows to the great Alucard, you and everyone else will bow to him!" Alastor meowed.

"Yes, and yes." Alucard said while turning his attention to Alastor, "Isn't he diabolic! I love it!"

"I guess?"Luna replied not knowing what Alucard meant by diabolic because Alastor was the definition of cute in her mind.

'You guess! YOU GUESS! How dare you! I shall forgive this insult because you're one of the future concubines of my master! But you'll pay dearly once my master seizes control of this pitiful continent.' Alastor meowed being even cuter than before.

Without anyone noticing, Magna had entered the office to tell Luna he'd finished his assignments, he got there just in time to listing to Alastor's meows which he understood completely.

"Oh sweet moon mother!" said Magna, "Alucard, this kitten needs some soap in his mouth!"

'Shut the fuck up!' Alastor meowed changing his attention to Alucard, 'Did I said it right master? Is Alastor a good bad boy?'

"What did he say?" Alucard asked, making Magna to lean in and whisper everything he heard to Alucard, Luna was puzzled and annoyed she was being ignored.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Yes, you did well my beautiful minion! I shall buy some treats as a reward for this!" Alucard shouted.

"Can anyone fill me in on what in the name of the moon is going on!?" Luna said raising her voice a bit.

"I'm afraid I can't or rather I don't want to, but a short summary would be that the kitten insulted you and me Princess." Magna said, "And you Alucard, you should not approve of this kind of behavior."

"Oh for the love of… you're Hamlet's bitch, so stop lecturing me, now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go and rest for a bit." Alucard said turning himself and Alastor into shadows, leaving Magna with a shocked expression and Luna wondering what to do with the new information.

'That furball insulted me? ...Alright…' Luna thought.

Meanwhile in Vanhoover, inside of a dark abandoned building without windows, two figures, unhampered by the lack of light were conversing with each other.

"So you want to make an Alliance with me?" One of the figures asked.

"Indeed, and after we take down the sisters and that nuisance Alucard we will share the bounty of Equus." the other figure replied with a sinister tone, "I already have Celestia right where I want her, soon she will have no choice but to agree with me."

"Very well, as long as I get Equestria for myself I don't care," the first figure responded, "and this does make things easier, I may be able to fight one on one with the princesses but I'm pretty sure together they could overwhelm me."

"So we have a deal then, I'll help you with your special day and you'll help me with my plans," the other figure said, laughing maniacally.

"Indeed we have a deal. Oh it's going to be just perfect." the first figure purred.

Meanwhile in Makai.

"So let me get this straight, you not only failed but also failed without even getting a single scratch, which is stupid considering you said he's on a Demon Lords level." Lux said in a somewhat angry tone.

"He allowed me to escape, and to fight him would of been suicide, I apologize M'lady." Arion said.

"Very well, at least from what I got from your memories he's kinda handsome, so I'll forgive you, this time." Lux said fantasizing about Alucard which made Arion shiver.

[hr]

"Achoo!" 'Is someone talking about how hot I am?' Alucard thought before going back to sleep.
