When Worlds Collide

[Remus]

Alastair quirked an eyebrow. He had felt almost amused at the playback of the destruction despite the fact he realized the others would not share his feelings. Having caused a great deal of damage himself during The Great Wars and of course when he had first landed in this world, he had often wondered what he would be like under the effects of a drunken stupor. Again a certain white haired queen came to his mind but he quickly suppressed the thought. The old him would have taken enjoyment in the destruction of any civilization.

"Well." He said with a slight smirk and a trace of amusement in his voice as he turned towards Drancia. "I guess asking you for a drink would be a bad idea. Perhaps you should stick to water until we get things sorted out." He paused for a moment and then whispered in a voice that was barely audible. "Very impressive however." Alastair directed his attention back to the Twilight and Applejack.

"It seems all of this was the cause of some unfortunate foolishness mixed with bad timing. I'm sure Drancia regrets her decision and is willing to help resolve any lasting damage she caused." He turned to Drancia, the small smirk still on his face. "Aren't you Drancia?" he asked almostly sweetly.

Drancia opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by someone else. "Oh, I do love a good home movie!" the source said, a young man with white hair tied in a ponytail and w wearing a regal-looking outfit. "I do want to thank you for finding our little lost lamb, though," he added, looking at Cade with a grin.

Ferid Bathory?! He's not supposed to be here! Kyubey said in a panicked tone.

"Your lost...wait," Drancia looked at Cade. "Are you talking about this kid here?" she asked.

"Yes, I would be more than happy to take him off your hands for you," the man, Ferid said pleasantly. "Unless, you wanted things to get ugly and we have to do this the hard way?" he asked.

(Sorry if it's a little weak, my writing skills have gotten a bit rusty.)

[Remus]

Alastair raised an eyebrow at the white haired man. Great another newcomer. He thought to himself. People just seemed to keep showing up ever since he met Kyubey. He was not used to being around so many people, especially those he didn't know and he felt like some larger piece of this whole thing was still being kept from him, even though the little cat like bunny creature seemed just as surprised to see the man.

' You know him? He asked Kyubey while at the same time taking a protective step in front of Cade.

"I'm rather fond of the hard way actually." he said with a rather sarcastic tone. "However I'm much more interested as to why you want him and if things ' get ugly ' as you put it, you'll most likely wind up finding yourself unable to talk.

(No problem. ^_^ we've all been away from it for far too long.)

Ferid simply held his hands up in an 'I don't know' gesture while smiling. "I couldn't tell you, the boss lady was bit vague on the details," he said. "IF you aren't willing to cooperate...." he snapped his fingers and right on cue, Terumi appeared, carrying a struggling yellow earth pony filly with a red mane and tail, and a gag in her mouth.

"APPLEBLOOM!" Applejack yelled and charged at Terumi, who simply stood aside, and stuck his foot out, tripping her and causing her to somersault over herself. "NOW YOU LET HER GO THIS MINUET MISTER!" Applejack said after getting up and putting her hat back on.

Ferid simply waved his finger back and forth clicking his tongue. "I'll only give the little horse if you trade the kid for it," he said tauntingly.

That's Ferid Bathory, be careful, he's a vampire and more dangerous than he looks! Kyubey said urgently. A shadow passed over him and he looked to the source, Drancia was walking forward.

"Jeez," she said, holding her arm out. It was engulfed in light and the light dissipated, revealing a giant gauntlet on her arm, with her halberd in it. "I swear you come right out of a badly-written comic book," she said resting the halberd across her shoulders and still approaching Ferid and Terumi.

[Remus]

A vampire Alastair thought to himself. Well wasn't that just his luck wasn't it? Vampires were a twisted hybrid class that came with all sorts of problems. Especially if you were going off against one. When Terumi had appeared carrying the pony, Applebloom, bound and gagged in his arms, Alastair immediately drew his sword. He noticed that Drancia did the same, summoning her halberd it if thin air as seemed. He kept up pace with her as the two walked towards Ferid and Terumi.

This guy even has Kyubey on edge. [\i] he thought to himself. How is it apparently all these strangers are finding themselves tied together so?

"Well your not going to get the kid," Alastair told them matter-of-factly. He jerked a thumb back towards Cade. "He's sticking with us, so why don't you kindly give these ponies their friend back and leave? I seriously doubt you two want to take on both Drancia and myself."

[skyacezero]

"Alright do you seriously not see the hostage here?!" Terumi said, then Applebloom disappeared in a flash. "WHAT?!" he reacted, then Applebloom promptly appeared next to Twilight, who used her magic to unbind Applebloom.

"Are you okay, Applebloom?" she asked, to which the filly nodded her head.

"I'm fine," she said and was suddenly hugged tightly by Applejack.

Drancia looked over to Ferid and Terumi with an amused smile. "What hostage?" she said and proceeded towards them.

Terumi growled in annoyance "Damn horse magic..." he growled and pulled out his balisong knives.

"Oh dear, seems we will be doing this the hard way after all," Ferid said, then cracked his neck and knuckles. "I do hate getting my hands dirty like this..." he said and suddenly appeared in front of Drancia, his hand shooting forward with the intent to pierce he chest. Ferid looked down to find she had caught his hand. He looked up with a 'what just happened' look his face when Drancia raised her leg and kicked him a good hundred feet back.

"I'll take that guy if you want the creep in yellow," she said to Alistair.

[Remus]

Alastair grinned and pulled out a dagger from inside his sleeve. He had been longing for a fight ever since this whole mess began. A good fight would be more than enough to clear his thoughts of the other troubles he was facing and these two seemed to be a perfect match for him and Drancia. His sword would have been too powerful for this match. It would risk doing almost as much damage as Drancia did in her drunken stupor. There were too many people around to risk No this fight he wanted to do the fun way as he often referred to it.

"More than happy to!" he remarked towards Drancia

"Well then." he continued as he faced Terumi. "Shall we dance?" He paused for a moment and then lunged forward aiming towards Terumi's main arm, hoping to disarm one of the knives or at the very least disable him to the point he couldn't use the appendage with his full power.

[skyacezero]

"You trying to fight me or date me?" Terumi said snidely, only to get his answer when Alistair lunged at him. Terumi spun away from Alistair's knife, and placed his hand on the ground, a strange line arched around Alistair, and an ethereal black serpent with a green aura around it lunged out from the ground behind Alistair with its jaws open.
"HEY! BEHIND YOU!" Cade shouted from the sidelines.

Ferid gave an annoyed growl as he got up to find Drancia approaching him. "I don't know how you were able to stop that attack..." he said as he drew a curved rapier from his side. "But I do know that nobody gets lucky twice," he said and held his rapier up. "Drink my blood...." he commanded and red, thorny vines grew from the hilt and wrapped around his hand, turning the blade red in the process.

"You call that luck? Your attack was way too obvious," Drancia said and stopped walking. "But you're free to test that theory again if you want..." she raised her left hand, gestureing 'come at me' with it.
