A second later the body dropped, the head most definitely removed from the body. Terra kept reminding himself that these were creatures and no longer human but it was difficult. He turned, first seeing that Alice was fine and then spying the real problem.

Sora.

His face paled and for a brief second Terra thought he was seeing Ven, not Sora. It didn't matter either way because a friend was in trouble. He couldn't just throw the keyblade as he had before because it might hurt Sora and he couldn't cast Fire because that might hurt Sora too. Terra reached inside himself for the power of the D-link and activated one that he knew would be able to helpful to Sora and would get the vampire off of him.

There was a brief flash of light around Terra as his D-link with Rarity activated and he pointed the keyblade at the vampire on Sora, "Gem Retriever." The spell name was different but it was essentially a Magnet spell to pull enemies closer. The vampire was dragged off of Sora and Terra didn't waste time rushing forward to meet it, striking out with his keyblade.

Alice heard rather than saw Sora hit the ground and she spun as well, eyes widening when she saw the vampire sitting on the boy's chest, its abnormally-twisted mouth aimed at his exposed throat. Even as Terra was calling forth magic, she was already running towards them.

A part of her realized that what happened next would be a really bad idea, but she hadn't volunteered just to sit back and let more people get hurt. So as the vampire was wrenched away from Sora by magical forces she couldn't see and another vampire was taking Terra's distraction as an opening to attack the older youth, Alice decided that some secrets really just weren't worth keeping.

Which was why, when she punched Terra's vampire hard enough for its head to snap back with a sickening crunch with a strength that was clearly not human, exposing its rotting spinal cord and nearly getting herself splattered with chunky masses of brownish blood, she didn't really regret it.

Yet.

[skylit_torch]

Sora couldn't really think of a spell that would have gotten himself out of that predicament fast enough, but at least Terra had his back. A second before he would have found the vampire's teeth clamped onto his neck, the creature was flying away, pulled by some spell that reminded Sora of Magnet.

With the weight gone, Sora scrambled to his feet, breathing a quick sigh of relief... that immediately was caught in his throat when he saw the other vampire (seriously, where were they all coming from) launch itself at Terra's turned back. He opened his mouth to shout a warning or a spell, but never got the chance to.

Alice got there first.

For a moment, he only stared. The sudden display of strength. The speed that was completely inhuman. Glancing over in the direction Alice had come from, he saw that two other vampires were currently incapacitated - one with no head and the other... stabbed through the heart? Sora's thoughts were racing, but at the moment, he had no time to sort them out. He stuffed them into the deal-with-later category as he spun the keyblade around, light flashing with a powerful glow, to deal with another of the vampires that also seemed stunned at the sudden turn of the fight.

[eroded_earth]

As Terra finished off the vampire that had been on top of Sora, he heard a sickening SNAP as Alice finished off the vampire coming for him. He looked over his shoulder, eyes slightly widened because he was not expecting Alice to have that sort of strength. She certainly didn't LOOK like she could do that but the evidence was fairly clear. Plus, she had just saved his back. There wasn't much time for talk so Terra just nodded and turned back to fight the fray.

"We need to push through, we're never going to get anywhere if we just fight them as they come."

He used the next attack in the D-link, Simply Stunning, and launched himself into the air. When he came down from the jump he brought the keyblade down on the vampires, paralyzing them with the attack and giving them some time to actually move forward onto the bridge.

Alice ignored the looks both boys gave her and instead nodded at Terra's suggestion. She briefly wondered where all of these vampires were coming from - they couldn't possibly be using Cloud Gate to enter into Chicago, like the rest of them had?

"Too bad we can't just rain garlic from the sky," Alice murmured, even as it annoyed her that these vampires were so annoyingly traditional. Garlic and objects of faith were so cliched.

[skylit_torch]

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he took after Terra, fire already licking down the the keyblade, orange and blue sparks dripping to the ground. Like Alice, he wished there was a faster way to do this, but it looked like they were going to have to take each vampire out one by one.

"Fire!" he shouted, tossing flames to the vampires that were quickly approaching Terra's unguarded side.

[eroded_earth]

Terra actually paused and looked back to Alice, "Actually...we can. We just need to get the support team on the walkie talkie." He couldn't say much more because a vampire was coming for him again and he knocked it down with the keyblade. It was starting to sparkle with energy and he knew it was getting close to the moment where he could use the full power of the D-Link.

He used the magnet spell once more, bringing more of the vampires out of the shadows. Besides, the point of this mission was to eliminate as many vampires as they could, right?

Request Team Death From Above!

[wantsaporsche]

At this rate, Alice wondered if the best idea was to garlic-nuke the entire park. As she darted past Terra, she snatched the walkie-talkie from his belt, flipping the switch on.

"If you all aren't too busy, some assistance might be nice," she chirped even as she danced around a trio of vampires that had suddenly concluded that she would make an excellent appetizer.

A minute later the calvary was on the way. Rainbow Dash soared over the park. She could brag all she wanted but the fact was this battle thing scared her. Nothing like this ever happened in Ponyville. Sure there was that thing with Nightmare Moon but that wasn't near this level.

But, Rainbow Dash could freak out later. She had said she'd help so she was going to help. Rarity had directed her to the spot and Dash was there in seconds. The pack on her back was heavy and she saw the people on the ground. "IN COMING!" She shouted before dive bombing the vampires and letting loose several water baloons from her pack. It would have been hilarious, if the water hadn't been holy water and caused many of the vampires to crumple into smoking heaps of screaming pain.

The jetpack worked perfectly!

Oh, sure, it was a little primitive by necessity, left a big cloud of black smoke behind it and required a pair of brainbot co-pilots to manage the thrust and weapons targeting but the point was it worked!

Megamind shot over the park just behind Rainbow Dash, the two brainbots working their own mini-controls beside him and grinned as the vampires came into sight. As he veered downward toward them, he hit the switch just next to trigger his own secret weapon.

"Fire, er, water!" He shouted back to the brainbots who saluted and let loose with the hoses connected to the pressurized holy water tanks, dousing any vampires that managed to evade Dash's opening assault.
