Meanwhile... in the world of Equestria...
Discord had all the element bearers in one place, with "important" news to tell them. He gave them a brief summary of the last chapter... because... he could. None of the ponies thought he was serious even though he very much was. "Discord, how the hay are we supposed to believe that Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle ended up in a whole different world with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle apparently having some hidden potiental that needs coaxing out due to an entity literally called Death and a human with fangs?" Twilight asked giving Discord her most unamused face, however, Discord only gave her a chuckle in return.
"Believe me or not, doesn't matter because I can simply do... this," Discord stated as he snapped opening a portal which acted more like one way glass, ponies could watch but not interact and sure enough, Sweetie Belle was with Dracula still, Apple Bloom with Death, even having a cool new cloak, and Scootaloo with the Fatal Wind rapier and still with Alucard as they approach the castle's entrance at a fast pace. "Okay, kinda hard to not believe that!" Rainbow Dash said as Twilight sighed. "Oh. My. Goodness! It'slikethecreatorwasdirectlyinspiredbyanotherstorytomakethisonebutmakeitbasedoffofacompletelydifferentseriesjustbecausetheycan!" Pinkie said at literally a million miles an hour. "What darling?" Rarity asked getting a lackluster "What?" as a response from the pink party pony.
Fluttershy watched the portal in curiousity but also fear, "Couldn't Scootaloo have waited till the morning there to go into the big castle?" she asked being huddled next to Discord, who simply shakes his head no getting an unexpected glare from literally everypony, "What? I'm being realistic, waiting till morning would have been too long and even then, now that they are in the castle..." he paused as the portal showed the castle gates closing behind Scootaloo and Alucard, "They aren't leaving till they finish," he finished.
And now... you're caught up to how Equestria is doing. Well... except AJ who still wants to believe that Apple Bloom isn't going to be a villain.
