BOO!

I woke up very groggily from my sleep. It seemed like a deep sleep, with how hard it was to just open my eyes, but I didn't have much time to focus on that, as I noticed two very different things about me and my surroundings. Well, three. First off, was that there was a strange power in my body that mixed with my ghost essence to add something to my abilities or poisons. I have no idea. *noted, look into new thingy in my body*. Secondly, my manticore friend was nowhere in sight. That in itself makes me sad, because I was just getting to like him, but my translator ability should help with that. I love knowing where my friends are.

Anyways, thirdly, there are two very analytic dark purple eyes staring at me. Well, more of a surprised panic, now that I am staring into her eyes as well. How did I know it was a her? I could tell with the female hairstyle, if that is alike in every world, which in my knowledge is. Now she actually looks like she had a smug grin on her face, knowing I couldn't escape. I don't know how she knows this, or if she even knows I am a ghost, but I don't really care.

I took this pointless amount of silence to figure out what my power was by using it. Nothing really happened besides some green flames spurting from my hands, which just made the mare in front of me get even more full of herself. I looked into the power and what I know of green flames, and got, from what I learned from the manticore, changelings. Maybe she thinks I'm one of them? Well, from what I learned about changelings, is that green flames is transformation.

...Wait a minute. I can transform?...

...This will be AWESOME! I have always wanted to transform!

So let's see... gotta think of what I want to change into... Strangely the first thing that came to mind was King Boo. Pushing off the idea because impersonating the all mighty king of the boos, one of the most powerful ghosts in existence, wasn't a great idea. The next idea, though, was one that I particularly liked. Bullet Bill.

Now, I always liked the bullet bill. Being able to travel twice the speed of your normal bullet while being able to turn on a dime, AND being able to stop. Yeah, the bullet bill gets things done. I thought of the bullet bill for a second and activated my powers. I saw the green wall of flame form in front of me, indicting that I was about to change, and the purple pony called for help. I still understood her, like I did everybody, but I didn't have time to talk, I needed to get out of there for some reason.

The green flames faded away and the now two ponies in the room stared at me in surprise at my form, and fear at it at the same time. The rainbow maned cyan one was now actually looking smug, while the lavender one with the dark purple mane and strange pink extension was looking at me in fear. I had on my face the casual partially angry looking eyes of the bullet bill, the two fist ending white arm, and my gunmetal... uh, metal. I looked at them, as I was facing up, and I then looked up.

I could feel the heat building up at the exhaust hole, and I could feel the fire burning. Soon, the magic bars holding me broke, but I just floated there, waiting. The Rainbow one made a break for me, trying to hold me back, but before she got to  me, I was ready, and I shot out of the ceiling, being followed by the pegasus. I thought at first nobody could fly as fast as a bullet bill, but she was keeping a steady pace as I was flying through the town.

The Chase is on, then.

I noticed I was flying through the town at breakneck speeds, a good ten feet above the actual people. I noticed my friend in the forest, but decided to leave him alone for the time being. I sped off in the opposite direction, towards some mountain, while turning on dimes to avoid the many buildings in my path. The mare behind me was gaining a little, bit by bit, she was getting closer. I had to shake her somehow, I didn't know how I could go faster.

I noticed an alleyway, and I made a quick left for it. I moved up and back down again over the fence to the other side, then made a sideways upward C motion over a building, then straitened myself out as I kept my momentum and transformed into a Shady Koopa, upside-down, and inside my shell. I sped across the rooftops as fast as I could, and while it confused the pegasus for a little bit, she was on my tail again in no time.

I was skidding across the rooftops for a good 10 minutes before I was found again. I didn't lose her like I wanted to, but she wasn't gaining that fast either. What most people don't know, is that the shady koopa can move very very fast in their shells when upside down. It is a defense adaption from living so deep underground with flying creatures. She was gaining on my quickly, so I had to change my strategy a little bit. I changed quickly into a chromeba, and copied my form to ten, then changed back into my bullet bill form and sped off into ten different directions. She took the wrong bullet bill, and I sped off towards the castle.

It took another 20 minutes before I saw the castle. I could hear the frustrations of the rainbow one as she kept hitting the wrong bullet bills, but she eventually found me, the right one, and sped after me. I sped up as much as I could, and I could feel my body straining against the speed as I felt it change color. I kept speeding up as I felt my body change a golden color,  feeling more and more pain as it engulfed me.

It eventually took over, and my entire body shined the gold shine of a Bombshell Bill. I made a golden trail behind me, speeding off to the castle. I could tell the massive increase in speed had helped a lot when I had heard from behind me a frustrated groan from behind me and a "I hate losing", so I felt I was safe. As soon as I was close enough to the castle, I tried to slow down, but I couldn't, even when I changed back into my bomb boo form.

I made myself able to float through things as the inertia did it's job and propelled me further into the castle. I went upwards, sideways, down, and turned around a few times before I ended up in a very dark looking room with a very startled looking midnight blue pony with a horn and wings in front of me. I fell to the ground, making myself tangible again, while uttering the first thing that came to my mind.

"Someone get the number on that cab..." I said, as I blacked out from the speed.
