"I don't blame them for leaving....they shouldn't have been here in the first place. This isn't their war." Kane said not looking up. "I can't beat him, Arial. He finds a way at every turn."

Blood held Maple close to him and closed his eyes, sharing the great pain with the others.

Kane soon learned about Vampireece's attack, and went out in his balcony alone and buried his head in his hands. He felt immense guilt for the tragedy and for getting them involved.

Blood felt his heart begin to hurt. "It's....it's gone. They burned it down." He said in shock and horror.

Blood grit his teeth. "Silent must have found a way into the city and launched a surprise attack. He wants us out of the picture so he can get to Kane."

A large wolf appeared behind Echo and swiped her with its claws, knocking her to the ground with large gashes in her face.

Silent smirked as he lit his horn. "Now....to deal with those Elemental Unicorns." He said as he vanished.

Blood fell to his knees and held his head as it began to throb. He looked to his brother. "Shadow....Vampireece....."

((alright, from the top))

Deep in the forest surrounding Vampireece, Silent stood with Lykos and a horde of werewolves. He lit his horn and moving a massive rock revealing a cave. "This tunnel leads into the city. Go, crush them."

((Hypothetically speaking, if Silent did conquer Equestria, he attack other nations soon after. Like Kane said at the beginning, "if Canterlot falls, Vampireece will be next." But Vampireece doesn't have to get completely steam rolled, just bad enough to where it affects the bat pony army.))

((Screw it then, like I said, I was just trying to build suspense and make another battle.))

Silent grit his teeth and teleported away.

((Eh, I guess so. Shadow will still probably want to know that Silent tried to kill his wife.))

((They can get wrecked a little bit but not too bad. Just trying to add some suspense to Shadow, Blood and the other bat ponies' role in the war. Like they hear about Vampireece getting attacked and be like "oh sh1t!"))

((I know, but I'm kinda trying to drag this out as the most destructive conflict in Equestria's history and have lots of different battles. I still want Kane and Silent to clash a few more times before the Three are released.))

Silent looked at Lykos' body and scoffed. "Pathetic." He lit his horn and strangle Echo with shadow magic. He reopened the cave and the werewolves began to pour in.

Blood felt a chill and touched his head. "Brother, I think something is wrong."

Deep in the forest surrounding Vampireece, Silent stood with Lykos and a horde of werewolves. He lit his horn and moving a massive rock revealing a cave. "This tunnel leads into the city. Go, crush them."

Soul glared at Rose. "So everything that's happened since the war with the Republic has been you.....so that means......" He grit his teeth angrily as he thought about it. "You made Silent this way. You made him want to kill me and take over Equestria. You took my son from me...."

"Enough!" Soul shouted. "She's turning us against each other. This is part of her trickery! If we have any chance of stopping her from destroying the world we have to stand together."

"So this is all a game to you? You want to bring the world down just for your amusement?" Soul asked, glaring daggers into Rose.

Soul glared at Rose. "And you will not succeed in conquering Equestria. Kane has too many allies and is a great leader. Silent will be defeated and so will you."

Soul grit his teeth and gripped his swords. "You b1tch! You will not make me kill my son!" he shouted in rage as he charged Rose, not knowing it was futile.

"Duely noted, friend." Silent said, turning around still smiling evilly.

Soul looked down at his hooves. "This doesn't feel right. What's going on?"

"You can invade the city and fail as you have many times before, or you will allow me to guide you. There is a way into the city that Shadow does not know about." Silent said, glaring back at Lykos.

((I dont know, I think them being enslaved against there will would make more sense.))

Silent smirked evilly. "Good to see you haven't lost it, old friend. I'll show you the way into Vampireece, and soon it will no longer be Vampireece."

"We should let king Kane rest. We have more preparations for the next encounter to make." Blood said. Kane nodded. "Thank you, friends. We will soon have more on our hands."

"Perhaps if we can end this war and get to her in time, we can prevent them from being unleashed." Kane said, looking at the setting sun out the window.

Silent smirked at Lykos. "I have a way for you to get your vengeance. I can give you the chance to have Shadow and Blood's heads on a plate. I can give the Wolves' their ancestral homeland back. I need the bat ponies eliminated, and you're the perfect candidate for helping me with that. All you lost, I can return, if you will aid me."

"I'm not ready to fight an undead apparition of my father." Kane said, surprising calmly. Autumn held him and leaned her head on his shoulder, worried at how unsettlingly calm he was remaining.

Silent looked at the pony with a glare. "It wasn't my choice and you know it, Lykos." He said turning to him. "Tell me, you're still mad that the bat ponies killed your wife, yes?"

Kane thought about everything that happened since the war with the Republic that his father took part in, and it began to make since. Black magic had been involved in some way every time. Kane sighed and shook his head. "For now, we continue as planned. My brother must be stopped. Then we can deal with this....Rose."

Kane froze for a long moment. "So this witch enslaved my father, Trax and Killjoy and made them reanimated monsters, bent on destroying everything." Kane didn't now whether to be seethingly angry, devastated or any other emotion. After all he went through, after all the loss and heartache, he just became numb. "Then there is more to this than just me and my brother. This is all crafted by this witch, and my brother is just the chisel."

Deep in the woods, Silent trekked alone, trying to find the lair of the Alpha wolf.
