“I think we’re lost.” Veronica said as she looked outside the window.

“We are not lost. The Great and Powerful Trixie knows this forest like the back of her hand.” Trixie said as she continue driving the trailer.

“We pass that same tree with the funny face on it three times already.” The Countess said as she pointed at the tree.

“Trixie knows that. She’s just testing you to see if you’re paying attention.” The mare said, only for Veronica to roll her eyes. “Now keep an eye out for anything odd.”

“Like I have nothing better to do today.” She mumbled as she looked out into the Everfree Forest. “Hey Trixie. You been here in Equestria for a long time have you?”

“Trixie have been living in Equestria for all her life, yes.”

“Are there any other….well beings like me?”

“Trixie believe so. There have been a bunch of weird creatures popping out of nowhere for some reason. Not to mention the ones in the Everfree Forest.”

“There are some in this place?”

“More like a village, but they only let a few ponies in to that place from what I heard. Only they can let trustworthy ponies in there.”

“Why is that?”

“Trixie doesn’t know really. All she knows is that they only let certain ponies in there.” Trixie said as she made another turn pass the same tree from before.

“We pass the same tree again.”

“Trixie knows that! Just pay attention to our surroundings, okay?”

“Fine, fine, I’ll look at the stupid forest to see if anyone is following us.” Veronica said as she turns back to looking out at the Everfree Forest. “I don’t see what the point in looking out for anyone. It’s not like they would send someone in this dangerous place.”

“You should take this serious faker.” said the voice.

“Will you stop calling me faker you stupid voice.”

“Why should I? You taken over my body, couldn’t even escape from those ponies at the castle, had to rely on that idiot of a mare for assistance like you’re a child, and to make matters even worse you don’t even have any knowledge of almost anything. So yeah I’ll call you a faker until the day either you die, or until I get my body back from you.”

“God, what did you have this morning? Wheat constituted jerk?”

“That doesn’t make any sense you idiot! Gods it’s like you just make up stuff that comes to your head!”

“Or...I’m being rhetorical.”

“.....I hate you….so...much.”

“Well maybe you should be a little nice to me. Being nice won’t kill you would it?”

“No, but that arrow that’s about to hit you in the head will.”

“What arrow to the-.” Veronica looked up at the trees as she saw something shining heading towards her. “Oh snap!” She yelled as she quickly ducked, as the arrow missed her and hit the floor next to her.

“Looks like we’re being hunted.”

“By who?”

“I could tell you...but I won’t. You’ll just have to find out for yourself.” The voice said as it goes back to being silent.

“Some help you are.” Veronica said as she quickly closed the window. “Trixie! We’re under attack!”

“Under attack by who?”

“I don’t know. All I saw was an arrow that almost hit me, but it missed and hit the floor.” Veronica said as she walked over to the arrow and pulled it out of the floor board.

“What does the arrow look like?”

“Just a normal looking arrow with a dark blue tip on it!” Veronica answered as she only heard silence for a few seconds. “Trixie?” The Countess soon felt the trailer increase in speed as she fell onto her bottom. “Trixie, what’s going on!?”

“Just stay away from the windows and hold on to something!” The unicorn said as she pulled out a red stone, causing the trailer to pick up speed.

“Damn, missed.” said a bat pony floating in the air as he placed his bow back onto his back. “How could I’ve miss something so small?”

“Worry about it later. Right now we have to go after them and kill the creature that the unicorn is harboring. Have the others chase after them. Destroy the trailer if you have to, but don’t kill the blue unicorn.” The bat pony nodded as he and his comrades flew after Veronica and Trixie.

“I was hoping to take her out in one-shot, but it looks like we’re gonna have to chase after her.” The bat pony said as he flew off after the trailer. “Keep your distance and make sure you don’t stare into her eyes. From what Princess Luna told us, she can manipulate anypony who looks into them.”

“What do we do about the trailer sir?” The bat pony with midnight color mane asked. “It doesn’t appears to be using its wheels while running away from us.”

“Go off ahead of us, and have the others prepare to block their escape route. If we can’t stop them here, then we’ll stop them up ahead.”

“Yes sir!” With a salute the female bat pony zoomed off a head of the group and pass the trailer.

“Ponies! Do whatever it takes to stop that trailer!” He said as he took his bow from off his back, and prepared to fire another arrow at the trailer. Only this time he was aiming at the roof. “Aim at the roof! One of the arrow should be able to hit her if we’re lucky!”

“Trixie, what going on?” Veronica asked, trying to keep herself steady while the mare was driving like a bat out of hell. “Why are we running like we’re doomed?”

“That arrow you picked up belongs to Princess Luna’s Lunar Guards. Guess Twilight sent a letter to them about what you did to them back at the ruins.”

“I didn’t kill them or do anything to them. The voice was the one that did that to them.”

“Try telling them that. I doubt they’d believe you after attacking Twilight and her friends. If anything, I wouldn’t be surprise that they want to kill you because of that.”

“They’re going to kill me!? Isn’t that a bit extreme!?”

“You attacked the Elements of Harmony. I may not know that many rules about Equestria, but attack them is like attack Equestria...only on a smaller scale.”

“Sounds like you fucked up. What are you going to do now child?”

“Me? You’re the one that caused this mess by attack those six ponies from yesterday. You do something about.”

“And why should I?”

“Because if I die, you die as well. Or did you forget about that?”

“.....Shit….I actually forgot about that.”

“And you’re saying I’m the idiot.”

“Oh really? Well because of that little comment I’m not going to tell you about the same arrow from before is about to hit you from above. This time from the roof.” The voice said, causing Veronica to look up to see the arrow go through the roof and almost hit her in the face. Only for her hand to quickly grab it with her knowing she did it. “Does the word dodging register in that stupid head of yours!? Get you ass to someplace else and find cover!”

“You don’t have to yell!” Veronica tossed the arrow to the side and ran to the front of the trailer to where Trixie was. “We need to get out of this place. They’re firing arrows from above, and one of them almost hit me.”

“Trixie is working on it, but it’s kinda hard to drive with no traction on the road. Not to mention floating stone were meant for traveling, not for getting away from the royal guards!”

“Well do something! I’m too young to die!” Veronica yelled as she hid underneath Trixie’s cape in fear.

“T-Trixie will do her best. Just as long as we stay on this path, we’ll be able to make it out of here in no time.” Upon saying that, Veronica popped her head from underneath Trixie’s cape, as she had a deadpanned expression on her face. “What?”

“You just jinxed us, you know that right?”

“Oh please, what can they possibly do that can stop The Great and Powerful Trixie?”

Veronica looked over Trixie’s shoulder as her eyes widen. “How about a tree about the size of this trailer?”

“Please, like they would be able to do-.” Trixie was cut short as turned her attention in front of her. Her eyes widen as the path ahead of them was blocked by a cut down tree. “Oh sweet Celestia!” The unicorn yelled as she tried to stop the trailer from colliding with the trees, but it was too late. The trailer collided with the trees as it caused it to stop, and send the duo flying off deeper into the Everfree forest.

“Don’t let them escape! We have to take Shalltear down before she can escape into the forest!” The bat pony yelled as the other flew after them.

(Elsewhere, near an open lake)

Elsewhere in the everfree forest. Two creatures could be seen near a clearing that reveals an open lake surrounded by a group of trees. One of the creatures was anthropomorphic shark girl wearing what could be a one piece swimsuit, with a pair of red rose color goggles. The other was a dark skin colored Tamamo with long black hair, fox like ears, and nine fox tails. She was also wearing a shrine maiden’s outfit.

“Seriously Tammy, you gotta come and check this lake out.” The Shark girl said as she tossed a silver watch towards the fox girl as she caught it with her tail.

“Oh, looks like we found ourselves something to sell in town. Is that all you’re able to find down there, Aqua?”

“There’s more stuff down there, but it’s pretty much just rusty old scrap metal.” Aqua said as she jump out of the lake.

“Maybe one of the girls at the forge back in town could melt it down and use it?” Tammy asked, handing the shark girl a towel.

“Maybe, but we won’t get much money out of it. It would be different if it wasn’t rusty or old, then we would get something good out of it.”

“It not like we can go out and find something better.” Tammy said as she was about to say something else, only for her ears to twitch causing her to look into the forest. “Hey do you hear that?”

“Hear what? All I hear is just the frogs and bugs singing in the woods.”

“Listen.” Tammy said, closing her eyes as her ears twitched even more. “I can hear yelling.”

“Huh.” Aqua placed her hands on her own ears. “Now that you said that, so do I. Where is it coming from?”

“I don’t know, but it getting closer.” Tammy replied opening her eyes. “Was anyone meant to be out this afternoon?”

“Not that I know of. Most of the villagers come out only to hunt, or do the usual patrol around the area.”

“Maybe someone took a nap and ran into something?”

“Or it could be a vampire and a unicorn screaming while falling towards you.” Aqua said as she pointed up.

“What?” Tammy said as she looked up to see said vampire and unicorn land on top of her. “Ow….”

“Ouch, that’s going to hurt in the morning.” Aqua said as she tried not to laugh at her friend’s pain. As she tried her best not to laugh, the trailer that Trixie and Veronica were driving in landed into the pool of water and began to sink slowly.

“Ugh, Trixie feels like she was thrown into a brick wall.”

“I can’t believe we’re still alive after that mid air flight. It’s a good thing we landed on something soft to support our fall.” Veronica said as she pulled herself up from off of Trixie.

“Indeed, whatever it is that Trixie is sitting on is most comfortable.”

“Please… get your fat butt off my head…” Tammy asked from under Trixie flank. “C-Can’t….B-Breath.”

“Woops,” Trixie quickly pulled herself off of Tammy’s head. “Sorry about that. Trixie didn’t not see you there when we landed like that.”

“It okay, can’t be any worse than how my roommates can be from time to time.” Tammy replied before looking up at them. “Who are you two anyway?”

“I’m Veronica, and the pony next to me is-.” Trixie placed a finger in front of Veronica, causing her to stop talking for a moment.

“Allow me.” The mare said as she teleported a few feet away from the girls/ “Behold for you are in the presence of, The Great and Powerful TRIXIE!!!” She said as fireworks shot out from behind and into the air.

“There they are! I heard fireworks this way!” yelled a voice from the forest.

“Oh...Trixie forgot about the guards. Quickly to the trailer…where is my trailer?”

“You mean the thing that’s been slowly sinking into the lake?” Aqua said as she pointed over to the trailer, which was now underwater.

“AH! My home! I only had five more payments on that!”

“*Ahem?*” Veronica said as Trixie turned around to see the countess tapping her foot with her hands on her hips.

“Oh and our means of a getaway from the guards…hehe.”

“Wait, what guards?” Tammy asked.

“I think they mean them, right?” Aqua said as she point at the group of bat ponies surrounding them with their weapons at the ready.

“Okay, why are they pointing weapons at us?” Tammy asked as she started to play with her ear.

“Um, long story short we kinda got in trouble and now they’re here to kill me.” Veronica answered as she hid behind Trixie.

“Creatures and Pony! Step away from Shalltear Bloodfallen, and return to where ever you came from!” The bat pony said as he walked in front of his comrades. “I repeat. Step away from Shalltear Bloodfallen and return to where you came from!”

“...Are you being funny right now?” Tammy asked with a hint of anger in her voice. “If we could go home, then we would have done that years ago!”

“Yeah! You jackass!” Aqua shouted, which in turns caused some of the bat ponies to aim at her. “Maybe I should shut up before something else happens.”

“I will say this again. Step away from the vampire or we will use extreme force.”

“And here I thought you ponies were suppose to be nice and friendly.” Tammy said as her tails began to glow. “Guess we’ll have to do this without spilling blood then. [Night!]” The Tamamo said as will’o wisp like balls appeared in front of three of the bat ponies. At first it did nothing, but in a matter of seconds they blew up into puffs of smokes. Upon breathing in the smoke, the three bat ponies fell to the ground like a ton of bricks.

“With that out of the way, maybe you two can explain what happened?” Aqua asked as her hands began to glow blue, causing balls of water in the lake to float around herself.

“Trixie believe Twilight Sparkle has something to do with this.” Trixie answered as she stood in front of Veronica. “After what Veronica did-.”

“The voice!” Veronica said, interrupting the unicorn.

“Fine. The voice in Veronica’s head did to her and her friends back at the ruins. I’m wouldn’t be surprise they would want to kill her for that.”

“Why? Did she kill them or something?” Tammy asked, knocking another pony to sleep as she used her tail to bat away the oncoming arrows heading towards them.

“Why would I want to kill them?” Veronica asked, causing the Tamamo and Shark girl to look back at the countess in surprise.

“But...you’re a vampire right? Doesn’t your kind kill anyone that attack you or something?” Aqua asked as she fired a water ball the one of the bat ponies, trapping her in a aquatic bubble.

“Wait, how long have you been a vampire for?” Tammy asked.

“I don’t know. I just work up like this when Trixie found me in the middle of the forest.”

“Hm...I’ll have to bring you to one of the kings of our village to look into that.”The tamamo said, firing another will’o wisp ball at two more ponies knocking them unconscious, while Aqua imprison them in aquatic bubbles.

“If you two don’t mind saving this little chat for later. We haul ass out of here.” Aqua said as she turned to her fox friend. “Mind getting us out of here before we end up like your ancestor Tammy?”

“I wish you wouldn’t bring her up.” Tammy replied with a huff.

“Then get us out of here!”

“[Teleport]” Tammy said as she snapped fingers and teleport herself along with Aqua, Veronica, and Trixie out of the clearing and away from the bat ponies.

“What the? Where did they go?”

“They must have teleported back to their village sir.”

“Dammit, this is not good. It’ll make things difficult seeing how we can’t find where those creature live in the Everfree Forest.”

“What do we do sir?”

“Hm...inform Princess Luna about this, Crescent Moon.” The Leader said as the bat pony next to him flew off to Canterlot. “The rest of you start searching the forest for wherever they might be hiding out in or at. We’re not leaving until we find Shalltear Bloodfallen. Understand?” He asked as the group of ponies he was leading nodded. “Good, now get to searching.”
