Sorry if this seems rushed, kinda rushed for time w/ homework :(

Vlad had just arrived at the palace's dungeon but things were different from when they were 20,000 years ago. The building he was in, only had one living thing in it.

"This cant be righ" Vlad muttered to himself.He got out of his pod and looked around and saw a small colt trembeling in fear infront of him.

"What is your name" Vlad asked

"P-p-pip-pipswqueak" said Pip, barley managing to get his own name out.

"What happened to this place, isn't this the royal palace?' asked Vlad.

"n-n-no, t-the r-r-royal palace, this is the old palace." said pip, his voice trembling from fear.

"Can you show me where the new palace is, if you do I can promice you and your friends an eternity of protection and a free ticket to the Gala." Said Vlad.

"Ok" said Pip as he started to explain where the palace was, telling this new creature everything he knew, which was more than most because luna had invited him to look around the palace after last years Nightmare night.

After he had finished explaining, Vlad said "thank you, now how many friends do you want to take to the gala?'

"Three"

"very well" said Vlad, as he pulled four pieces of gold paper from a pouch in his armor, and wrote a simple note on each

it read: Human order: 3489, allow access to party. Signed: V.L.A.D.A.R

Vlad then gave the four pieces of paper to Pip.

"Now go and get ready, its tonight."

"Yes sir" said Pip, bolting out of the castle, which he had been dared to go into.

"Heh, this is going to be really fun." said Vlad, looking up and seeing the new castle.

back in ponyvill

"Hey Scoot's, Sweetie, Applebloom, look what I got for us" said Pip

"What" said the CMC in unison

"Tickets to the Gala tonight" said Pip "come on, lets get ready"

At the news that they were going to the gala, they each bolted back to their home to get ready.

That night at the gala

The elements of harmony had just arrived at the gala and very suprised to see the CMC with Pip making their way up the line to present their tickets to the Princess.

"Now what in the hay are they doing here?

"Sweetiebell, at the gala?" rarity facehoofed "this is going to be a disaster"

The mane six were talking among themselves and could not notice a shadow that was moving along the walls.

30 min later

The CMC were at the front of the line now and handed Celestia their tickets.

"Lets see here... what is... no, no no no no no, this is not good. Children I must ask you where you got these tickets." said Celestia

"I got them, all I know is the guy handed me them and then told me to go back and get ready for the gala." said Pip.

"Was it a pony who gave them to you?" asked Celestia, sweat starting to bead up from exasperation.

"No, I cant really describe it, it was scary, stood on two legs, had this metallic stuff on, on its chest was scratched the letters VLADAR." said Pip

At this an explosion was heard, everypony turned to see smoke rising from one of the walls, and the creature that both Scootaloo and Pip had seen.

"Its been too long Celestia, over 10,000 years if I am correct." said Vlad

Celstia's horn begin to glow, as she took on a fighting stance.

"Oh really, come now, if you think that you stand a chance against me, especially with not fighting at all for over 9,000 years, while the entire time I was being injected with more steroids, constantly having my mussels worked. I seriously doubt you would win." said Vlad

"Hey, i don't know what you are but you NEVER insult the princess infront of me GOT IT" said Rainbow who had gotten on her back legs and was throwing punches, trying to intimidate this new creature.

"Oh please, that's weak" said Vlad as he stepped out of the smoke.

The gasps from the crowd were of shock and awe especially from Rainbow, remembering the book she had just read..

"Celestia, one of the reasons I am here is to talk to you. You see, we are actually not that different. We both are the most elite of all, we both have our morals (even though I break them more often than naught), we both have things that we value. However the thing that I wanted to talk to you the most about, was how I effected you, even while I was gone." said Vlad.

"What do you mean, I would never let myself be effected by a thing like you!" retorted Celestia.

"Oh really, The Celestia I remember before the war wouldn't have banished her sister to the moon for wanting more attention, she would have just let the pony's see how beautiful the night really was. However now, now you just banished her, no care, no second thoughts at the time. Just like me in the beginning. You truly are turning out to be like me." said Vlad, "now lets get on with the matter at hand, shall we?"

"Girls, if I were you, I would step back, this may get messy" said Celestia

"But"

"GO" said celestia as she hurled a statue at Vlad with her magic.

"Really, you cant be serious" said Vlad as the massive statue was hurling through the air towards him. Next Chapter: new life Estimated time remaining: 6 Minutes
