"Pinkie Pie! Where are you?!" They all said still looking for her in the dark forest.

"Oh I do hope she is alright, I hope nothing bad happened to her." Twilight said in a very worried tone.

"You said it sugar cube. Who knows what else might be out here. Especially after we herd that scream we herd!" Applejack said still spooked from that scream.

It seems like everypony was still scared of that scream they herd especially Discord and the Princesses. When Fluttershy herd that scream she got more scared and froze up again. So Twilight had to put her in that cart again.

All of a sudden....

"BOO!" Pinkie Pie said jumping out of a bush that was in front of them.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" They all said in a very scared tone.

"Hahahahahaaha I got you guys good hahahahaha." Pinkie Pie said as she was still laughing on her back.

"Pinkie Pie you almost gave us a heart attack!" Rarity said in an angry and scared tone.

"We thought you where the one that was screaming a while back and thought something bad happened to you!" Twilight said also in a scared and angry tone.

"Sorry everypony." Pinkie Pie said in a somewhat sad tone.

"We forgive you Pinkie Pie, but you must never do that again. We were very worried about you." Princess Celestia said in a slightly upset tone.

"Oh great, where lost! Its all because we had to look for you Pinkie Pie! Now we are never going to find that dumb temple!" Rainbow Dash said in an angry tone.

"Temple? You mean this one over here?" Pinkie Pie said as she started walking away from them.

Pinkie Pie went over to a giant bush uphead and pushed them aside to reveal a giant temple that looked like a giant pony skull. The doors where its teeth and there where blue flames that seemed to be lit for a very long time.

"When in Equestria did you find it Pinkie!" Twilight said in a surprised yet shock tone.

"Oh I found it right after I herd that scream a while back. It kinda scared me a bit." Pinkie Pie said with a smile on her face.

Fluttershy had just snapped out of being frozen from her fear. In till she saw the temple.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Fluttershy screamed in horror as soon she saw the temple.

She was about to run away in till Applejack and Rainbow Dash stopped her from running away.

"Come on sugar cube, we have no choice but to go in there and wake up this Alicorn." Applejack said trying to calm her down.

"Ya, we got to wake up whats his face if where going to save Equestria." Rainbow Dash said in an annoyed tone.

"B-but it looks so scary from the outside, I can't even imagine what it looks like inside. It might look very scary in there." Fluttershy said in a very scared voice.

"Oh, I hope it's not dirty in there. I don't want get dirty from possibly all that dust in there. Not to mention the cobwebs, yuck." Rarity said in a disgusted voice.

"Hmmmm It does actually look pretty scary to me, and I'm the lord of chaos, I hardly get scared." Discord said trying to look brave.

"Yeah sure, about that Discord? You sure weren't brave when Pinkie Pie scared us all. You kinda looked pale when she scared us. It looked like you where about to faint." Applejack said trying to hold back a laughter from it.

Discord blushed while they where all laughing at him.

"Well then everypony, shall we be off? Princess Luna asked them .

"Yeah!" they all said.

They all started walking towards the temple doors which where giant old teeth. Fluttershy was still scared of the temples appearance but stilled managed to go into the temple.

As soon as they walked in they saw a long hallway that looked very suspicious. It has torches with the same kind of flames as the ones outside of the temple. There were also pony skulls with candles in them, but with different colors lit like red, blue, green, orange, yellow, purple, black, and white, all on each side leading towards another door. But that's not all they saw, they saw strange stone tiles on the ground. There were only do different ones. One looked like angel wings and the other that looked like devil horns. There was also a pedelstal that had a stone book on it.

"Huh, whats that?" Twilight said as soon as she saw the book.

She began reading it

"It says, Are you good or are you bad. Who are you, at where you stand? What the hay does that mean?" Twilight said in confusion.

"Hmmmmmm I wonder." Princess Celestia said in curiosity.

Princess Celestia used her magic to pick up one of the skulls that were laying around on the ground and threw it towards the devil horns. When the skull landed on the devil horns, giant black flames came up from that tile and burned the skull into nothing but ashes in a second.

"Ooh my." Fluttershy said as she saw the skull burn like it was nothing.

"Don't step on the devil horns! If you do, you burn just like that skull!" Princess Celestia said with warning.

"Can't we just fly over?" Rainbow Dash said as she pointed at her wings.

When Rainbow Dash tried flying over she was instantly pulled to the ground.

"What the hay!?" she said wondering why she was pulled to the ground.

"This is a very magical and sacred place Rainbow Dash. Flying and magic won't work for this part of the test." Princess Celestia said with great instruction.

"Wait a minute princess, did you say tests?" Twilight said in a confused tone.

"Oops, I may have forgotten to tell you all that this wasn't going to be easy to wake him up and that there where going to be tests in this temple." Princess Celestia said in embarrassment.

"Ack!" They all said as they fell to the floor because Princess Celestia could have warned them about the tests.

"I am truly sorry that I didn't tell you before. I was just to worried about this war, that I forgot to tell you about the tests. Heheh, sorry." She said rubbing her hoof behind her head in embarrassment.

"How many tests are there princess?" Twilight asked with great concern.

"As to what I can barely remember, I think there are only three. I can't remember what they are. But they get more harder then the last." Princess Celestia with a worried tone.

"So what are they about Princess?" Twilight asked.

"Sadly I don't remember Twilight. But it seems like this one wants to see if you walk the side of good or evil. That's what the angel wings and the devil horns mean." Princess Celestia said.

"We must be very careful at where we step. One false step on those devil horns and your a goner." She warned.

"Okay then, lets get going before the night is over everypony!" Princess Luna said with anticipation.

They all started jumping on the angel wings one at a time. There where a few close calls, but they managed to get across the tiles. Fluttershy had a very hard time getting across, but Pinkie helped her out with the old a hop, skip, and a jump tactic. Good thing there wasn't any cliffs in the way this time.

"Few, we finally made it. So whats next?" Rarity asked

"Lets find out. The next test should be in the next room." Princess Celestia said as she was pointing to the door.

They went through the door and to their shock they saw a graveyard with caskets that where closed. There they saw another pedestal with another stone book on it.

"Goodness me this place is really starting to creep me out a lot." Rarity said with scared tone.

"I r-really w-want to hurry t-this up now, p-please i-if you d-don't m-mind." Fluttershy said while shivering in complete fear of this place.

"Alright, lets get this test over with shall we." Twilight said while they walked to the stone book.

"Lets see what this says hmmmmmm. It says the ones of the fallen shall rise again, lay them to rest or else your dead! What the hay does that mean or else your dead?" Twilight said in confusion.

Just as soon as she finished reading from the book they noticed all of the caskets rise upward facing them.

"Whats happening Twi?" Applejack asked as she was now starting to get very scared.

"I don't know!" Twilight responded.

All of a sudden the caskets opened to reveal 10 undead skeletons. The skeletons started to move on their own towards the group.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" They all screamed when they saw the skeletons move closer to them.

"What are we going to do! Without our magic and wings were doomed!" said Rarity as she was about to faint.

"There just nothing but bones! We can take them!" Rainbow Dash said as she started charging at them with great force.

Rainbow Dash ran straight into all of them and they all fell apart like they where nothing.

"See, what did I tell ya, that was way to easy." Rainbow Dash said from her accomplishment of defeating them.

"Yeah, to easy to be exact." Discord said as he was expecting the bones of one of them.

All of a sudden the bones started shaking and rose up from the ground. As soon as they did, Discord backed off from them.

"It's not over yet everypony!" Twilight said as she was preparing for them to put them selves back together again.

"What are we going to do sister? We can't destroy them!" Princess Luna said as she was holding onto her sister in fear.

"I don't know my dear sister. But it seems like we may have met our match." Princess Celestia said while holding her sister around her.

Twilight then noticed the caskets were still opened. A spark came from her eyes and she realized what they must do.

"I think I know how to defeat them!" Twilight said with a grin on her face.

"How Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked with great concern

"Remember what the book said! The ones of the fallen shall rise again, lay them to rest or else your dead. Lay them to rest, that's it! It wants us to put the skeletons back into the caskets!" Twilight said with a grin on her face.

"Twilight your a genius!" Princess Celestia said with great pride for her student.

"I know." Twilight said with a smile on her face.

"Here's the plan. Pinkie do you have your party canon?" Twilight asked.

"I never leave home with out it!" Pinkie said as she pulled it out of no where.

"Good. Applejack and Rainbow Dash, I want you two to keep on taking those skeletons out and make sure they don't get up." Twilight instructed.

"On it!" The two of them said as they went to keep the skeletons knocked down.

"Rarity, can you watch over Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.

"I'll do my best Twilight!" Rarity said with a smile on her face.

"Discord, I want you to get near the caskets and close them as soon as they are inside of them! Twilight said with great concern.

"You betcha my dear Twilight!" Discord said happily as he got near the first casket ready to close it.

"The rest of us will pick up the bones and load them into Pinkie's party canon so that she can blast them straight into the caskets. But we have to pick them up quick or else they will regenerate." Twilight said with great concern.

"Lets do this everypony!" Princess Celestia said.

"YEAH!" They all said and went forward with the plan.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash made sure they did't get up. The rest of them got the bones of each skeleton with great heist and put them inside of Pinkie's party canon one at a time. Pinkie Pie then shot each of the skeletons into their caskets. Discord finally closed each of them as soon as they went inside.Rarity was calming Fluttershy down from what was happening.Then with one finale blast from Pinkie's party canon, she shot the last skeleton into his casket. Discord closed the last one and all of a sudden, they noticed all of the caskets glowing with a white light from inside. Then all of a sudden a door appeared out of no where.

"We did it everypony, lets get going to the finale test!" Twilight said with a big smile on her face.

"Yeah!" They all said.

They all walked into the next room and to there surprise was a giant throne room just like Princess Celestia's Throne room. The Grim Colt's Chamber Room

As they continued walking down the hall, they noticed 4 stain glass with some strange pictures on them. It seemed like it was telling the story of The Grim Colt and how his life went before he went into slumber.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Twilight said as she continued looking at the windows.

"I wonder what they mean?" Discord said as he got closer to them.

"Well then, lets find out what that book says." Twilight said as they continued walking to it.

When they got closer they noticed a statue of an Alicorn. To there surprise they noticed that the horn of that Alicorn was not on his forehead, instead it was on top of his nose. What even surprised them more is that the Alicorn's wings and tail was made out of what seems to be bones. Also his top part of his face was hidden behind the top half of an unknown skull. On his two front hooves, they noticed he was wearing some kind of armor that had three sharp metal claws.

"Oh.......my. H-he looks very s-scary." Fluttershy said as she hid behind Rarity in fear.

"So this is what he looks like. Huh, I have to admit, he does look kinda scary." Rainbow Dash said as she observed him.

"All right then, shall we see what this book says?" Twilight asked them.

They all nodded yes in reply to Twilight.

"It says, Long ago when Equestria was made, the great Creator of all life in made ponies, plants, and animals. He gave these ponies special talents know as Cutie Marks To represent their special talents. He made ponies with wings to fly which are called Pegasuses , ponies with  horns to control magic tat are called Unicorns, ponies without either of them, but made them fast and strong on their legs that are called Earth Ponies, and some ponies with both wings and horns that are called Alircorns. The great Creator couldn't take the souls of ponies when they died, so he made a very special Alicorn. He named him The Grim Colt. He gave The Grim Colt a Death Scythe that lets him take the souls of ponies when they die." Twilight said in amazement as she continued reading the book.

Twilight continued reading. "One fateful day, an evil Alicorn named Shadow Fang , had spread evil across Equestria with his dark magic. The Grim Colt fought Shadow Fang's evil. The battle lasted 10 days. On the Tenth Day, The Grim Colt used all of is magic to seal away Shadow Fang away for a very very long time. He split Shadow Fang into 10 dark fragments and sent him across 9 Dimensions at random. The last dark fragment is hidden some where in Equestria. But when he sealed Shadow Fang away, it came with a price." Twilight and the others were very surprised at what they herd.

Twilight began reading the last part of the story. "The price was that The Grim Colt had to lose his physical form.He would still have his spirit form so that he can still collect ponies souls. When the great Creator saw The Grim Colt's good deed, he made a temple in honor of him. He also put three tests in order to protect him from evil ponies who wants to destroy him. Only good ponies could past the first two. But for the third test, just in case an evil pony got through, he made sure that when it was midnight and the full moon's light entered the chamber room. That pony would be trapped in there for the rest of his or her life! The only way to escape this imprisonment was to free The Grim Colt's physical form. That is last test for this temple to see if you are truly the ones to free him." Twilight finished reading the book.

They where all in shock from what they all herd especially Princess Celestia.

All of a sudden, the moons light hit the statue signaling the last test has begun.

"All right every pony! We don't have much time in till the light from the moon disappears. So we have to do this now!" Twilight said with great concern.

"Right!" They all said.

Twilight gave the Elements of Harmony to the other five.

They all got into their positions and waited for Twilight's command.

"Everypony ready?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah!" They all said.

"Alright, lets do this!" Twilight instructed.

They combined all of their magic together and hurled it straight towards the statue.

When the magic hit the statue, the statue started glowing very brightly.

When the statue stop glowing it seemed like it didn't work. But then it started cracking.

The statue began shaking and the eyes of the statue opened up to reveal yellow and blue eyes. Then all of a sudden, there was a blinding white light that lit up the entire room.

They all covered there eyes when the light hit. When they opened their eyes they saw The Grim Colt alive and staring right at them with a very angry glare.

They were all very scared when they saw this.

All of a sudden, he summoned his Death scythe and started running straight towards them.

He leaped into the air and attacked. They didn't know who he had attacked because they had their eyes closed when he did.

They opened their eyes and turned around in shock as they saw him kill a Changling that was about to kill Fluttershy from behind.

The Changling was shocked when it was stabbed in the heart by The Grim Colt's Death Scythe.

"Buck you!" The Changling said towards The Grim Colt right before it died.

He turned around with a grin on his face towards Fluttershy still in shock from what just happened.

"Greetings." He said.

As soon as he said that Fluttershy fainted from complete fear.

"Was it something I said?" He asked in confusion.

They all had their mouths hanging from what just happened.
