Church Dungeon:

It was dark and damp down in the dungeon. The only source of light was a torch that flickered every so often. Twilight started to open her eyes to try to get a better view of her surroundings, but the barely lit room made it hard. She turned to see her friends in the same cell with her. They looked so tired, like they've been drugged.

She slowly got up and stumbled over to them to attempt to wake them up. But no matter how hard she nudged them or tried to call their names, they wouldn't respond. She tried using magic, but it felt like she had no horn, like the time she and the others went up against Discord for the first time. "Don't bother unless you're one of them," a voice came from the darkness of the cell.

Twilight turned again to see it was Trixie who looked tired like her. "What do you mean," she asks, gasping for air.

Trixie walked over and plopped next to Twilight, "Those cloaked ponies are vampires and they are the only ones who can use magic here."

"How do you know that?" Trixie lowered her head in shame.

Outside the Church:

Laharl, Issac, Applejack and Valvatorez all crept around the crowd outside and found their way to the side. They were on constant look out in hopes no one would see them. Luckily there was a big bush nearby and hid inside it until they could come up with a plan. "So wut now," Applejack asked.

"We have to get in through the side so we don't cause too much hassle," Laharl answered.

"Right and just how are we gonna do that now?"

"I'll make a door."

She gave a confused look, "Your gonna punch a hole in the wall and not raise suspicion?"

Valv turned his head to her, "No my dear, he is going to do alchemy."

She gave another confused look, "Wuts that?"

Laharl plucked some of her mane with his claws, "I'll tell you later when we aren't in danger." She rubbed her head after he plucked the hair. He pulled out five empty vials and put the hair in each one. Then he pulled out two bottles, one with a clear liquid and another with a dark, pink color.

He poured the pink liquid in first then the clear liquid then closed each vial with cork and shook them. "And wat's that gonna do for us," she asked.

"That," Issac answered, "is going to make things easier for us." When Laharl was done shaking the vials, he threw each one in different directions and shortly after there were the sounds of growling and roaring.

Applejack was dumbfounded, "Wut did you do boy?" Everyone got out of the bush and walked over to the wall.

Laharl put his claw on the wall, "I distracted all the pony folk in the city so they wouldn't bother us." A small bit of lightning came from the wall and a door appeared from it. It was a simple steel door. Applejack looked amazed at what he did. "Now then," he said in a pleasant voice, "shall we?"

Inside the Church:

The inside had a nice light, golden color on the walls. The light outside coming in through the stain glass window provided a beautiful assortment of colors on the white marble floor. Red columns were placed to keep the structure standing and it matched the red carpet on the floor. It really looked like a magnificent church with all the pews and podiums in place.

Applejack has never seen anything more beautiful in her life, aside from Rarity who keeps claiming herself to be beautiful. As they all entered the facility, the door behind them disappeared. "The dungeon is in the basement," Laharl said walking down a twisted looking hallway, "go and get the girls."

"Where are you going," Issac asked.

Laharl turned his head, "To find the machine," he turned his head forward again and continued on.

Applejack gave a sniff and started to turn green, "Wut in the name of Equestria is that horrible smell?" Valv and Issac sniffed and made serious faces.

"That my dear," Valv stated, "is the smell we vampires know all too well."

She gave a horrified look, 'Wut is this Mauve fella up too?'

Blood Processing Room:

The machine was a bigger than Laharl thought. It was a pure gold color with various chambers, tubes, pipes and small machines pumping, cleaning and purifying the large amounts of blood. A large black tube running from the floor to the first storage chamber caught his attention. The sounds it was making sounded like a large heart pumping blood through the body.

He looked at the base of the tube that was on the floor, 'That must be where the source is of the blood comes from. Poor bastards... how long has this been going on?' He ran his claw over the machine, 'I may be the Supreme Overlord, but even I have my limits of what I do. You poor souls will be saved and the torment will end. Now... where are you?' He started looking for a certain chamber until the presence of others stopped him.

He turned to see some ponies in brown robes. They looked pale with red eyes. One spread his legs and spoke in a calm, monotone voice, "Come my child and we shall take you to where you can get help." Two other robed ponies came forward and tried to grab Laharl. He swiped his claw at them and they were cut in half horizontally.

Five others stepped forward to take him down. He drew back his right foreleg, disappeared and reappeared behind all the robed ponies and the five that were in front of him fell. The pony that first spoke was in shock at what just happened. As he turned to leave, Laharl was right in his face with a very evil grin, "Tell me which chamber is the final one and you won't suffer."

Church Dungeon:

All the girls had a look of shock and horror after hearing Trixie's story. Even Pinkie with her usual happy go lucky attitude was scared. Rainbow got angry and tackled Trixie to the ground, "How could you? How could you go and bring innocent ponies here to die like that?"

Trixie was in tears, "I'm sorry. They said they would kill me and all of Ponyville if I didn't do what they said."

Rainbow scoffed, "Likely story you phony. You probably did all that stuff just to save your own hide!" Twilight used her strength to pull Rainbow off Trixie and walked over to her.

She looked down at her with a serious look, "Did you really want to bring all those ponies here?"

Trixie shook her head, "No hohoho, Trixie may exaggerate a little about being great and powerful... but she would never hurt anypony," she cried even harder.

Twilight lifted her up and gave her a comforting hug. Trixie's crying slowed down as Twilight stroked her back, "Shhh, it's okay, I believe you."

She let go and Fluttershy gave her a hug, "If you do the right thing and help us, you'll be forgiven."

Rarity came over and put her hoof on her shoulder, "Don't worry darling, fear has horrible effects on everypony."

She glared at Rainbow indicating her to come over and support them.

Rainbow sighed, walked over and put a hoof on the other shoulder, "Yeah yeah, we'll help you." Trixie smiled but it then faded away when some guards outside the cell were laughing.

The one in black armour spoke in a deep bass voice, "Keep telling yourselves that dears, it won't matter when we catch the apple one."

Rainbow flew right near his face and yelled, "What do you mean tough guy?"

He growled which made her fall on her flank, "When we have the Elements of Harmony, our masters project will be complete and this world will belong to us."

He noticed Pinkie twitching and jumping a little. "Twitchy, twitchy, twitchy," she kept saying still twitching and jumping.

The black armoured pony gave a confused look, "What is that pink one doing?"

She stopped, "You know," she asked, "I haven't heard about the guys since we got here." Issac: Gum Gum Rifle: the dungeon door came busting down with a small robed pony going through the wall of the dungeon.

Applejack came through the door opening, "Ah ain't never seen no pony twist and stretch their leg like that."

The big armoured pony smiled wickedly, "Well isn't this a pleasant surprise." Hundreds of bats swooped in, picked up the armoured ponies and tossed them out of the room. The bats came down and formed a pony and Valv came back to his normal form. The girls were amazed and weirded out at the same time. "Hmmph," Valv grunted, "what pathetic excuse of vassels they are."

A worried Issac poked his head in, "Uhhh, hurry up, the guards are coming."

"Indeed," Valv said as he pulled a rapier out and sliced the cell door open. Applejack rushed in and started to hug the girls.

She saw Trixie and got mad, "Wut are you doin' here?"

She shrunk behind Twilight and she spoke, "It's okay AJ, she's not a bad pony."

Applejack narrowed her eyes, "Ah hope your right sugarcube." The girls and Valv went for the door only to be stopped by the three guards that kept the girls in the cell.

The big one was breathing angrily, "You will not escape from here!"

"That's what you think asshole," Issac shouted as he raised his right foreleg.

Issac: Gum Gum: He stretched back his foreleg and twisted it into a long drill, Rifle: He retracted his foreleg, slamming it into the big guard, sending him flying into the back wall. The other two guards went flying as well with the force of the impact. The girls were wide-eyed and mouths gaping open after what they just saw.

They all looked at Applejack and she looked back, "Ah know dears, it's still hard to believe it even though you've just seen it." Suddenly guards came out and poured into the hallway. There appeared to be no escape for the group. Valv stepped forward and pulled out his rapier again. Beauty Blood: the sword turned into a long red whip and he started waving it around, hitting the guards.

When he stopped and turned the whip back into a sword, all the guards disintegrated into a red mist. The girls said nothing as they were really amazed at that display. "Now," he said, "we must hurry." The girls came back into reality and everyone rushed to the lobby.

Church Lobby:

Laharl sat in one of the pews, looking at the time with a red metal pocket watch. He sighed as the time passed on as he waited for the others to get here. He moaned really loudly and yelled, "You guys are late!" The gang came down the hallway and Rarity looked mad.

"And just what have you been doing this whole time," she yelled back and then saw all the bodies on the ground.

He looked in their direction, "Fixing the problem that started all of this." He got up and started to walk towards the door.

Fluttershy noticed he was limping, 'No, please don't be hurt... please.' He opened the door and everyone followed him outside.

Outside the Church:

Just as they were about to leave the courtyard, a red barrier appeared, preventing them from leaving. "HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY PLANS," shouted Mauve as he exited the church. The gang turned around to see him angry and turning blood red. His whole body was turning the color and his body was changing into a large beast. He let out a loud roar which made the girls scream and cower in fear. The guys remained unscathed by the roar.

Mauve pointed a claw digit at Laharl, "What did you do to my machine you little monster?"

Laharl narrowed his eyes, "I added my own special ingredient to your batch. In thirty minutes, the blood you wanted to spread over the city will be an anti-venom to your poison. Everypony in the city will return to normal." Mauve roared again even louder.

He started breathing heavily and his eyes darted to the girls. "I'll kill you boys and then use these girls for my plans but first," he thrust his left claw toward Trixie, "I'm going to devour you, you little bitch." His nails grew out towards her. Trixie couldn't move, her whole body didn't respond.

Tears streamed down her face and she closed eyes, 'Help, please help... mommy... daddy...' The sound of flesh being pierced made everyone cringe.

Trixie slowly opened her eyes to see Laharl in front of her, stabbed in the shin, twice in the right foreleg, through the right chest piercing his lung and on the left side of the stomach region. All the girls looked in horror at what they just saw, Fluttershy was in tears. Laharl was grunting in pain and was smiling at Mauve.

Mauve looked disturbed by this, "Why are you smiling?" Laharl didn't answer and then Mauves fingers started to burn and pulled them out of him. Laharl dropped to the ground and the girls rushed over to help him. Issac jumped up and pulled his fore legs back. Gum Gum Bazooka: He retracted his legs and slammed both his hooves into Mauves head, knocking him to the ground.

Mauve raised up is right fist and slammed it into Issac, crushing him into the ground. The girls looked over and tried to help but Mauve slammed his left claw into the ground, stopping them in their path. He got up, still keeping Issac pinned down and looked at the girls. He inhaled and let out a roar that was followed by waves of red and the girls fainted.

Mauve started laughing and then stopped to see Valv standing in front of him in his normal form. Valv rushed forward and sliced off Mauves arm. It disintegrated and he Issac laying there in his normal form. "What are you creatures," he asked in fear. Laharl stood in front of him smiling wickedly in his regular form.

He held a giant scythe in his left hand. Its long thin, black handle, with a serrated white blade at one end and a long curved crimson energy blade at the other. Mauve had the look of fear as Laharl spoke in a sinister voice, "I... am... the... Supreme... Overlord..." Laharl brung the crimson blade down on Mauve and sliced him vertically.

Mauve screamed as he was disintegrating into a black mist, "YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF MAUVE BLOODLUST!" Then he was gone, disappeared from the face of the world. Valv held up Laharl and helped him towards the girls.

"So," he asked, "what do with them." Laharl thought about this as well and came to a decision.
