Prince of Equestria
Chapter 19: Violence is Sweet
CT Darkling Drac's Current Castle, Equestria
Monday August 23, 2020 at 2:30 AM
Night has fallen in Equestria. It is now after midnight. Every creature is fast asleep.
Well, except for a hellbent vampire, and his gang of killer monster minions.
Gerlies smirks. "I can't wait. This is going to be sweet."
"I want you to bring the monster slayer, Blackbiter Flynn, Eliza, Mario and their friends over here, at this castle. I want them alive. You shall bring them to me alive. I have words to say to all of them." said CT Darkling Drac, with a slight grin on his face, as he instructed Gerlies
"You got it! We shall kill them. You can count on me to do your work." said Gerlies.
Darkling and Gerlies both laugh.
Gerlies is secretly trying to overthrow his master, Darkling, so he can become the ruler of the castle. Unknown to him.
"Meanwhile, I shall go over here and handle three little ponies. They are called the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They will be much easier to toy with, since after all, they are only just fillies and not fully grown yet. Little kids are easily fooled." said CT Darkling Drac, all smiling.
"Good idea, master." said Gerlies, with a sinister grin on his face.
"Yes! Violence is so sweet! Sweet revenge…" said CT Darkling Drac
Darkling's expression then changes to a puzzled look, as he looks at Gerlies standing right behind him. However, he tries not to question it.
"GO! Go get the four while I try to trick and toy the Cutie Mark Crusaders, before I CHANGE MY MIND and send someone else to do it!" instructed CT Darkling Drac.
Gerlies then walks off and flees the castle. However, unknown to CT Darkling Drac, green mist is right on his back and his chest. His eyes are suddenly glowing from yellow to red.
CT Darkling Drac changes into his vampire bat form and waits for the sun to rise, as he falls fast asleep.
Monday, August 23, 2020 Equestria at 10:00 AM
The Cutie Mark Crusaders: Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are playing basketball outside, on a nice sunny day despite the brutal heat. They all agreed that once they got all sweaty, that they will go for a swim in the nice little pool that Applejack had bought at Apple bloom's family's place.
It is Apple bloom's turn. She dribbles the ball, before getting it into the basket.
"Alright. Here's hoping I get a high score." said Apple bloom.
Apple bloom then throws the ball high into the basket with her bare han- I mean hooves. The ball successfully gets through the net and down on the grass.
"That was amazing. Now it's my turn." said Sweetie Belle.
Scootaloo cocks her eyebrows.
"No way! I am supposed to go before you!" yelled Scootaloo.
"NO! It's my turn. You are dead last, remember?!" yelled Sweetie Belle.
"No! It's my turn!" yelled Scootaloo.
"No, silly. It's MY TURN!" yelled Sweetie Belle.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle then argue. They both grab onto the ball.
Apple bloom yells at them.
"STOP ARGUING! Seriously?! You're wasting your time here!" yelled Apple bloom.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are just dead silent, but deep down, they knew Apple bloom was right. They both sadly nod and apologize.
"I am sorry...you can go before me." said Sweetie Belle.
"It's alright. Really. You can go after me." said Scootaloo.
"This is just sweet and adorable. Too bad they will not survive for very long.." said a mysterious, quiet voice who almost sounds like Hellboy and Slade combined.
The three fillies have confused looks on their faces.
"Am I imagining things or did we just hear a creepy voice?" asked Sweetie, as she looks over at Apple bloom and Scootaloo.
"I don't know but-but I don't like it." said Apple bloom, shivering in fear.
Scootaloo is confident.
"Aw come on. Don't worry. If it's a random baddie, I am sure we'll be able to stop him. Any pony here can do the impossible." said Scootaloo.
The voice is revealed to have come from a scary, vampire bat.
The bat then transforms back to his normal vampire form. CT Darkling Drac stares at the three fillies, with a horrifying, menacing, grin on his face- like the Grinch in Dr. Seuss's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
The Cutie Mark Crusaders freak out, having never seen something as horrifying as this in their lives.
"I bet you three are shocked to see an actual vampire here. You thought of us as myths, didn't you?" pondered CT Darkling Drac.
The vampire is thinking about it carefully before making a decision on what to say next for his lie.
Sweetie, Scootaloo and Apple bloom head nod "yes".
"Well, I'll show you that we vampires are still alive and have existed since the beginning of time. You three have potential. Why not come with me? I have slices of pizza back at my castle, my treat.." said CT Darkling Drac, still with the horrifying grin on his face.
Apple bloom and Sweetie Belle are excited for the pizza, buying CT Darkling Drac's lie.
"YAY! Pizza! Of course we are coming!" yelled out Apple bloom.
"Yeah! Who would refuse such an offer?" asked Sweetie Belle.
Scootaloo cocks her eyebrow.
"Um...I hate to burst your bubbles right here, but I think this vampire is lying to us. I don't think he's giving us pizza." said Scootaloo, to her two friends.
"What?"
Sweetie Belle and Apple bloom stare back at Scootaloo, surprised at what their friend had just warned them.
CT Darkling Drac chuckles as his eyes suddenly glow from red to green. It's probably the green mist that's changing his eye color constantly.
"It's hilarious that you fell for it. I wasn't even going to give you pizza. I lied! Now, give me your energy and you will be freed from this cruel world." said CT Darkling Drac.
"Hell no! We aren't going to let you kill us, you big meanie!" yelled Apple bloom.
"Yeah! You thirsty vampire should go and never come back here!" yelled Sweetie Belle.
"If you think we are going to let you lend our blood to you, you can pretty much forget it." said Scootaloo.
CT Darkling Drac suddenly closes his eyes and has a flashback.
July 2, 2019
CT Darkling Drac's Castle on Earth
Blackbiter Flynn, who, at this time, went by Sapphire Sonic Flynn (one of his many aliases at the time), then walks inside the castle.
"You will pay...for always coming back and trying to harm us. What about your daughter, Eliza, huh? Will you dare try to hurt her? Oh, I think you will and I won't let that happen. I had enough with constantly trying to stop you! This time, you will be killed by me for real! You are a thirsty vampire who is too dangerous to live." Said Flynn.
He then gets his sword out and points it towards Drac's chest. Sapphire Sonic Flynn is not kidding around, and he has a serious, cruel, soulless look on his face. To him, CT Darkling is another dangerous, cruel, thirsty monster that should not go around hurting people. That was always the impression he got from him, after all, given his past experiences in slaying monsters that were going around hurting people and claiming their lives. Plus, it did not help matters that Darkling was always the one trying to kill him since way back when just because he hates him for no reason.
CT Darkling Drac screams in agony and pain. Again. He is crying. He literally wants to kill the monster slayer. End him now, like he should have done ages ago when he first met the kid at only nine years old.
"What...did you just call me?!" yelled CT Darkling Drac, screaming as he asks his arch nemesis the question.
"You are a thirsty vampire. I can't believe kid me was stupid enough to spare you. Now, prepare for your death, you monster." said Sapphire Sonic, with a pissed off look on his face.
"I will never hurt my daughter nor any of my kids for the record! I never meant to hurt anybody. This is in my nature to do so. I am not even really thirsty! You are just too blind and discriminatory to see that. Not all monsters are thirsty, Idiot! How delusional and wrong you are. Not that you will ever see that, you piece of garbage!" yelled CT Darkling Drac.
He suddenly screams at his arch-nemesis. Tears are streaming from his eyes, as he is also crying. Drac takes his sword and smashes it to the ground.
Just as Sapphire Sonic takes out another sword, the vampire knocks him out cold. Drac has no remorse for doing this.
"Hmph. That should show him not to mess with me. He doesn't get it. He keeps killing us monsters for no reason other than revenge. He won't ever get it anyways, through that delusional mind of his. Just...how dare he call me a thirsty vampire…" said CT Darkling Drac to himself.
Flynn's words echo inside Drac's head. "Thirsty vampire…thirsty vampire. Thirsty vampire…"
"Nooooooooooooooooo!" the vampire screamed, in pain.
(Flashback ends)
"Oh, come here, you little brat. How dare you, Belle, call me a thirsty vampire. Let me say that, I am not thirsty, even though I should be. I wasn't going to outright kill you, rather I would take some of your life for questioning and interrogating you. However, it seems like I have no choice to not only kill you, but also your two little friends too." said CT Darkling Drac, in anger and fury.
He's angry at Sweetie Belle, for calling him a "Thirsty vampire", Scootaloo for not easily being deceived, and Apple bloom for her being just their friend.
Indeed, CT Darkling Drac is more insane and psychopathic than ever before.
"I am Count Darkling Drac. The vampire who comes at you when you aren't looking. You shall perish!" yelled CT Darkling Drac.
The vampire cries out tears. He clearly feels like he does not want to do it but needs to anyways to act on his vampire instinct.
CT Darkling Drac unleashes his fangs and claws. He bites Sweetie Belle's flank first. Then Apple bloom and Scootaloo.
The vampire screams in agony.
Just as the vampire is about to kill the three little fillies, Princess Celestia appears.
Celestia isn't too happy to see Drac. She stops him before he could kill the Crusaders.
"You…." said Princess Celestia, in furious anger at what Drac had tried to do to the Crusaders.
CT Darkling Drac looks at Princess Celestia and pretends to gasp at the sight of her.
"Oh my. It's Princess Celestia. I am sooooo scared." said CT Darkling Drac, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone of voice. Of course, Drac was being sarcastic. He wasn't actually scared of a magical, god of the sun like, pony who rules over Equestria with her starry night sister.
"Please...whatever you do, don't hurt me. You don't understand. The pain I went through. I doubt you ever will, seeing as everyone are a bunch of selfish fools and monsters who need to be killed." said CT Darkling Drac, already with tears still coming down from his eyes.
Indeed, the vampire is still crying.
"Relax. I wasn't even going to hurt you. I just want to teach you a lesson for trying to kill three innocent ponies, who to my knowledge, haven't done anything horrible to piss you off." said Princess Celestia, still angry with the vampire.
"You shall suffer, Celestia. Even if we have to fight for this, I still want to end your pathetic, worthless life!" yelled out CT Darkling Drac.
"Hmmm...very well. Bring it on. I should be the one to stop you, once and for all!" yelled out Celestia.
Drac and Celestia then fight.
Mario the Sonic Plush's POV
So...me, Eliza, "Shadow" Flynn and my girlfriend Twilight Sparkle, are walking still in Equestria, on a warm, summer day. I am not even going back to Earth. I'd rather live here and transfer all my legal documents so that way, I have guaranteed citizenship in Equestria.
Just the four of us hanging out, as besties.
"There's no cloud in sight. The sun is beaming on our faces." Twilight said.
"I know. I really hate this heat." I said.
"Hey, I know. How about we just all cool off at the park? It'll distract us from the heat for sure." said Eliza, suggesting the idea.
"Eliza, this is one of the best ideas you have ever came up with! Let's go!" I exclaimed.
Me, Twilight and Eliza are walking right straight to the park. "Shadow" Flynn runs up to us, as I think he's joining us in cooling off.
We then arrived to the park and took in the nice, fresh air.
"Um. I hate to burst your bubble right there, but I think Darkling is there at the park right now, fighting Celestia." said "Shadow" Flynn.
Eliza pretends to gasp.
Eliza then sighs, looking disappointed in "Shadow" Flynn
"How do you know that's the case? My father might be insane and psycho sometimes (he hasn't been sane and normal since about 10 years ago), but I don't think he would resort to wasting his time fighting some demi-god, pegasus ruler of a foreign land. You really make ridiculous assumptions based on you slaying monsters over the years, and think all monsters are brutal, evil killers." said Eliza, acting like she is scolding him.
"Ooooooo, Eliza is so savage!" I said.
"Eliza…you are a great friend and all, but are you actually insane?! Are we even talking about the same person?! Your father is a monster. An evil killer. He wants to kill me, just like every single monster I have fought. I don't even trust him. He hates me so much and wants to end me. I am only out to be a hero. To make sure my younger sister, me and my parents get the justice we deserve. It's beyond me how you can even trust him." "Shadow" Flynn said, freaking out by Eliza telling him off.
"Or maybe, have you ever thought that you may have a part in the reason why my father is the way he is now? Why he had gone insane in the first place? Why he wanted to end you? I remember Billy Shay, who was my "stepfather". Apparently, you have the same ideas as Billy did about my dad. You have never actually known the real him, only wanting to kill him because the monsters that you have slayed in the past were hurting innocent people. As far as you are concerned, that includes him. My father was truly never like that, and deep down, he never wants to kill. He was just acting on his vampire instincts the whole time because that is what vampires do Hopefully some day you'll learn that not all monsters are not born evil brutal killers!" exclaimed Eliza, to "Shadow" Flynn.
"Shadow" Flynn gives Eliza the middle finger, for defending her dad.
Eliza yells at him.
I almost wanted to end the argument and settle this but Twilight is taking care of that.
"Guys. I am dead serious. Eliza, I know your dad may not be really as bad as he's made out to be, but chewing out our friend out for thinking the way he does will not solve anything. He has every reason to stop Darkling as Darkling did indeed try to kill him multiple times in the past and thus he is evil in that way. 'Shadow' Flynn, you have every right to think the way you do. However, I do agree with Eliza that you never knew the real him. You should not fight over this, and seeing as we might be dealing with a serious situation, this argument is truly dumb. Just stop it." said Twilight.
Eliza sighs.
"He just doesn't get it...and I doubt he ever will."
Shadow Flynn sighs.
"She does not get it either. Her father, Darkling, was the one that tried to kill me! Even threatened my life for no reason. Why is Eliza siding with him?"
We then look up in the sky and guess what we end up seeing?
CT Darkling Drac and Princess Celestia duking it out. It just so happens that they somehow ended up in the park, where we are at!
This is not looking good for us at all!
Shadow Flynn growls. I can tell he does not really like this at all.
Princess Celestia body slams CT Darkling Drac to the ground.
CT Darkling Drac then looks at Celestia, with an angry scowl on his face. He gets up and proceeds to slash the sun Princess with his claws, and then nips on her flank with his fangs.
Celestia then screams in pain, and unfortunately for Drac, it's game over. Why? Because Celestia ends up grabbing the vampire with her hooves and then slams him to the ground, which looked as if it killed him.
He had lost the fight. We all watched it all occur with shock on our faces.
Eliza is crying. Her father had lost the battle against Celestia and is now paying the price for it.
The poor vampire is clearly pain yet nobody ever helped him. He's stuck in this hell.
"But why…why did Celestia hurt my father?! She could have helped him! She could have snapped him out and made him sane again!" Eliza yelled, while crying.
I pat Eliza on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry you had to see this, Eliza. Your father will be fine though. Trust me. I think we should go and help him. He's worthy of redemption, not only that, but he needs some help from the people who have ever cared about him in the first place." I said.
I wanted to cry with her, and yell at Celestia for what she did but unfortunately, Drac has lost it. He has somehow become even more evil than he ever was because of this.
"Shadow" Flynn smiles.
"Finally. He gets what he deserved." said Shadow F.
The fact that he actually smiled and said this horrible crap made my bold boil. Look, he might be one of my best friends, but to this day, I can never forgive him for it all.
It was he who had indirectly caused the vampire to snap and become even more of a psychopath than he already was, even though he never knew it. Billy Shay manipulating Darkling's wife & Eliza's mother Kelly and having her cheat on Darkling with him was another contributor.
To make matters worse, I see a flying green bat in the sky.
"Guys. There's another one coming here." I said.
"Aw, shoot!" yelled Twilight.
Shadow F smirks. To him, this one will be a piece of cake, since after all, he is indeed a monster slayer. That's his job.
"That's definitely one of Dad's minions…," said Eliza.
The green 'bat' then lands on the ground and reveals itself to be an ugly looking, small green demon.
"Ah! So you are the four that my boss sent me to kill, eh? Well, you won't live long. I am not alone in this. My buddies are willing to help me kill you all while Drac is tricking the Cutie Mark Crusaders." said the green demon, with a smirk.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"The name is Gerlies. CT Darkling Drac personally sent me here. He approved of this assignment." said Gerlies, who introduced himself.
"I remember this guy. From what I heard, Gerlies used to be a minion of my grandmother's, and then now he has been passed to my father. However, I don't think he really likes my father all that much. Gerlies is just as terrifying as him, if not more. He wouldn't hesitate to kill anybody, even me. He doesn't know I am his boss's daughter, and I don't know if he will ever find that out." said Eliza.
"Wow…" said Shadow Flynn, who is surprised that anybody can be more horrifying than Darkling.
Twilight laughs.
"Wait a second? Ger-lie-sis? That's your name! Gerliesis? Wow. Soooo not scary!" said Twilight.
"Ugh! The name is GERLIES! NOT GERLIESIS!" yelled Gerles. "I shall not be insulted like this! Now DIE!"
Gerlies then brings out Darkling's other monster and demon minions, to try to attack the four.
"Shadow" Flynn then takes out his sword to try to slay Gerlies before he finally ends Darkling.
"Hey!" yelled out "Shadow" Flynn "We are not afraid of you!"
"Shadow" Flynn then slices through Gerlies, hoping he would have killed him.
But that does nothing as Gerlies respawns.
Gerles laughs.
"It's funny how you think you can get rid of us easily." said Geriles.
Gerlies sends the red, horned monster to attack Twilight Sparkle, but I dodge him with a necroplasm attack before he can ever touch my girlfriend.
"Ha! That's for trying to mess with my girlfriend!" I said, with a smirk.
I laugh.
Eliza transforms into a gigantic bat, and swoops in. She knocks out some minions, monsters, and demons alike, as she had hit them.
Eliza, in her gigantic bat form, is so impressively strong. I don't think they'd stand a chance against that.
Gerlies is starting to 'grow' arms
Gerlies then swoops in towards me and grabs me right behind. He then chokes me.
"*gags* Arrruggh!" I screamed, as I was being choked by Gerles.
Gerlies laughs
"Hahahaaha! You are supposed to be an all powerful prince, but this just proves I am way more stronger than you will ever be. Besides, this is going to teach you a lesson for going against us." said Gerlies.
I wanted to scream but I can't because I was still being choked.
Gerlies then puts me down. However, he has me pinned to the ground. I almost wanted to cry, scream and cringe.
It makes me wonder how CT Darkling Drac must put up with this crap often.
Eliza, Shadow F and Twilight didn't stand much of a chance either against Gerlies.
I then pass out on the ground. I fall asleep.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I hear this buzzing noise. My eyes open, and I see this golden light. This golden light then forms a fox...that fox feels so familiar...he is definitely-
Wait a second. Is that Tails Boy?!
I think it is.
Eliza, Shadow F and Twilight are all at awe at this special fox. Twilight, in particular, is much more surprised.
"Wow. How does he even do that?" wondered Twilight.
Eliza smirks.
"Let's not be surprised at this. Mister Plush right here can do special things like this. It's nothing new for us." said Eliza, patting Twilight on the back.
Shadow F nods, in agreement with Eliza.
Suddenly, the golden light fades away, as the fox figure reveals himself.
Yes! It is Tails Boy.
"My old friend…" I said, looking at Tails Boy for the first time in four years.
Tails Boy looks similar to Tails (who is, probably his ancestor). He has a pink scar right by his right eye up to his muzzle, a green jacket right over a white martial arts gee, brown shoes, and jeans, and a bloody scrape on his right glove.
Tails Boy then faces Gerlies with a serious expression his face.
"So, green demon. You are seriously messed up. Oh well, playtime is over. I should obliterate you." Tails Boy said.
Gerlies shivers in fear of Tails Boy. Tails Boy scares him.
Tails Boy puts his two hands together into an attack that will send Gerlies flying.
Suddenly, a light silver orb is formed from his hands. Tails Boy apparently has pyrokinesis. The silver orb turns into silvery fire.
"But-but how?! How are you this strong?!" said Gerlies, freaking out.
Tails Boy smirks.
"Let's just say I am a professional martial artist and leave it at that." said Tails Boy. "Now, you will be finished. Sayonara!"
Tails Boy said this as he throws the silvery fire he created at Gerlies. The silvery fire becomes huge, enough to send Gerlies flying in the sky. All the other monster and demon minions run away, cowering in fear.
The silvery fire absorbed Gerlies in.
The smoke clears up, and Tails Boy looks at me and the others.
Tails Boy smiles.
"It's good to see you again, Mario. You too, Eliza and Shadow. I'd never thought I would find you here in this world, but here we are."
"This is the best news I've gotten all day, pal." I said.
Me and Tails Boy shake each other's hands.
Once our hands leave each other, Tails Boy then looks at all of us four.
"Oh, by the way, call me Shenlong."
—-
Meanwhile, at the castle, CT Darkling Drac looks angry at his little green, heartless demon right hand man in chief. It's a frightening anger, creepy and monstrous looking, something that would scare you.
"Gr...What did YOU DO?!" yelled CT Darkling Drac, as he growls.
"Uh...I attempted to kill the hero, the monster slayer Flynn, along with Eliza, Prince Mario and the purple pony girl, and bring them to you. Isn't that what you wanted?" he asked.
"NO, GERLES! I did NOT want to KILL THEM! Especially NOT my daughter...my daughter that I gave custody to RAISE! Because I didn't want her and Draci to get HARMED! How DARE YOU think that I would like to see daughter and her few friends dead. I may be mean, cruel and evil but I HAVE STANDARDS!" said CT Darkling Drac, almost about to snap at Gerlies.
"I didn't even know she was your DAUGHTER! I didn't even know you had any kids, I thought they were aborted." said Gerlies, the little green demon. "Plus, I am a DEMON, duh! Honestly, CT, you are so just like your mother, Count Angelic."
CT Darkling Drac let out a gasp.
"...How. DARE YOU!" Darkling snapped. "How DARE YOU think that way about me. Do you take me as a FOOL? Do you take me as some type of guy who wants to KILL anyone for no reason?! Do you honestly think I had Kelly get rid MY TWO CHILDREN?! My two wonderful children? I would never do that...and don't ever compare me to that horrible excuse of a being, again..."
Gerlies gulps.
"I want the four of them to be brought here alive, although there's a good chance their allies would follow them. Do you hear me now?" Instructed Darkling Drac, with a scary and creepy look on his face
"Y-Yes sir. I'll do that for you sure, even though I wanted them dead." said Gerlies, as he had listened to his boss's instructions.
Even though Gerles didn't like what CT Darkling Drac told him to do, he realized had to do it exactly as the count ordered, or else he'll get fired! Gerles does NOT want to get fired. And luckily, the allies are all still alive.
So, Gerlies had headed straight to get Eliza, Shadow Flynn, Mario the Sonic Plush and Twilight.
