The Mission: Part One

If you’re reading this, it means I can no longer continue my work. Reader it’s up to you now to decide if you can take up the challenge that I have given you.

Reader before you decide let me tell you a few things that are very important.

The first thing is; as soon as you start my work, there is no turning back. Once you start, you can't stop. They won't let you. They might just kill you if you try to stop.

The second thing is; your life will always be in danger. They will kill you if you start my work, so you will have to watch your back all the time. They don't want anyone to know about them. Not pony, changeling, or human for that matter.

And the final thing; your family will be in danger if you stay with them. They might want you dead, but that won't stop them from killing your family. They don't care, they care about no one.

Afraid? That’s understandable. If you don't want to do this impossible task I gave you, stop reading. Just stop reading and live your life normally, because if you keep reading they will already be after you. They will never stop until you are dead.

If you are up to the challenge that I have placed before you, read on and all will be explained in good time. Of course as soon as you read the diaries, reports, and audio recordings of ponies, changelings, and humans, know this. Every single life form known to mankind and ponykind are in danger and it’s up to you and others to save them all from the danger.

Good luck, and may the power of the sun and the moon aid you on your mission.

Dr. NightLight: The cause of Everything

The following is an audio format by the half-crazed unicorn scientist, Nightlight, whose ambitions was to make the "perfect cure"

Friday 8:30 P.M

Hello? Is this thing working? I can never tell with these stupid things. Oh! It is working; good this makes my job easier. Hello all of you who are listening to this recording. My name is Dr. Nightlight and I have almost finished my cure for every sickness known to pony and humankind.

All the other scientists say that my cure is impossible and that I should give up, but I WON'T! They know I am right, so they can't stop me. They don't know how wrong they are.

Saturday 6:20 P.M
It's finished! Tomorrow I will go to the hospital to test my cure on one of the sickest in the Extreme Care Unit. After I cure them then I can prove I'm not crazy. I think the other scientists are spying on me.

Sunday 10:44 P.M

Damn them! No one volunteered to test my cure. They are all sick! Don't they want to get better? Worst of all are those stupid scientists mocked me when I left the hospital in shame. Oh they will pay once I find somepony to test my cure on. WE WILL SEE WHOSE LAUGHING THEN!

Wednesday 10:30 A.M

Two weeks have passed and still no fucking volunteer! Damn all those ponies. They think I don't know what they say about me. They all think I'm crazy. Well I'M NOT CRAZY!

Thursday 10:00 P.M

I seem to have contracted some sort of cold yesterday when I was at the hospital. I also those bastards called scientists are spying on me. I can feel their eyes on me all the time. They better stop.

Monday 6:34 A.M

My sickness has gotten worse. I think it might not be a cold after all. It’s more like a parasite eating me from the inside. Those fucking scientists did this to me, I just know it. I might test my cure on myself and heal myself, since no pony wants to try it out.

Monday 12:45 P.M
I'm cured! My cure worked! That will show them. Now ponies will have to take my cure. I going to the bar to celebrate.

Tuesday 8:45 A.M

Woke up this morning with a massive hangover. It was so bad that I passed out again. When i woke up for the second time there was mud on my hooves and muddy hoof prints on my floor. Was i sleepwalking last night?

Tuesday 12:40 P.M

Some pony was murdered early this morning. The pony's throat was ripped out and their legs have been chewed on. Also on the wall next to the corpse the murderer wrote, that’s what you get for making fun of me, in the dead ponies blood.

My couldn't eat my lunch today at all. My appetite must not be what it used to, but I swore when I saw a squirrel after I threw away my lunch, I got suddenly ravenous. It must be a side effect of my cure. It probably won't last long
.

Friday 8:40

Over the past few days my mane fell out. I bet it has something to do with those fucking scientists. They did this to me! They are still watching me. They want my cure, but they can't have it. ITS MINE!

Monday 6:55 P.M

All the flesh from my body has rotted away from my body and all my teeth have fallen out. For some reason i don't fell that bad about it though. It feels actually quite nice. I woke up this morning with a bloody bandage on my flank. I wonder how it got there?

Friday 9:23 P.M

Killed that bitch of a scientist yesterday. She tried to take my cure. She couldn't have it. IT'S MINE!! Soon she will be like me and then I will start my plans to turn everypony like me. By the way, I took out her heart and ate it.

Monday 1:00 A.M

I.............feel................wonderful...............................all.........................................................ponies.......will..............become..................like......me! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha................

That was the final entry of Dr. Nightlight. He disappeared after the murder of one of his fellow scientists. He is presumed dead.

Author's Note

There is more to come. up next Sweetie Belle.

Sweetie Belle: The next to change.

The following is the diary of the filly; Sweetie Belle, the little sister of the late Rarity. These entries take place shortly after the disappearance of Dr. Nightlight.

Dear Diary,

Still no luck on getting my cutie mark. I hope I get it soon, I don’t know how much more teasing I can take. Apple Bloom told me that somepony disappeared yesterday. I wonder where he went? Oh! I almost forgot, tomorrow is the next CMC meeting. I can’t wait!

Dear Diary,

Today’s meeting was awesome! We tried to get our demolition cutie marks, but we didn’t get them. We did however successfully destroyed our club house in the process. I wonder if we can put it back together.

Dear Diary,

I got in to lots of trouble today. I kinda ruined Rarity’s new dress. I hope she won’t be mad at me to long, it’s kind of uncomfortable in this tree.

Dear Diary,

Last night I heard a strange noise outside. When I went to investigate nopony was out there. I went back to bed and in the morning I went outside to see if I could find anything. I found some hoof prints with some yellow slime in them. I didn’t tell Rarity, she still looked mad at me.

Dear Diary,

Woke up this morning with a funny feeling on my flank. I thought it was my cutie mark, so I threw back the covers expecting my flank to finally be filled. I was very disappointed. Instead of a cutie mark, a weird scratch was taking residence on my flank. I must have scratched myself in my sleep.

I’m going over to Apple Bloom’s today. Scootaloo won’t be there sadly. She’s with Rainbow Dash to see the Wonder Bolts perform in Canterlot. They will be back tomorrow.

Dear Diary,

My whole body hurts for some reason. I think it has something to do with the scratch I got a few days ago. It turned a sickly yellow color and my flesh is starting to turn grey. I should probably tell Rarity.

Dear Diary,

I’ve been in the hospital for two weeks. I hate it here! There is absolutely nothing to do here. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom came to visit me yesterday. They brought you to me to cheer me up. I wonder why Rarity hasn’t come to see me?

Dear Diary,

The doctors let me out of the hospital yesterday, but I have to stay at home. This is going to be a long six weeks. Rarity seems happy when I’m out of the house. I hope we won’t get on each other’s bad side.

Dear Diary,

I’m scared.

For the past few days, horrible thoughts have forced their way into my mind. I keep thinking about doing terrible things to Rarity. The thoughts are so scary that I can’t write them down. I hope they stop. My infection is getting worse. My skin is starting to sag and peel off in some places. My mane is also falling out and so are my teeth. Why did this happen to me? Rarity flinches every time I get close to her. I hate my life. I wish it was all over……

Dear Diary,

I’m going to kill her soon. Rarity is treating me like scum. I hate her so much. I hope she dies. I can’t see anyone anymore. Rarity says I have to keep in my room because I might get other ponies infected.

Dear Diary,

I feel real happy today. Rarity thought she could control me. Ha. I showed her except she doesn’t realize it yet. I killed and ate her cat, Opalessence. She tasted so good. I wonder what Rarity tastes like. My new best friend said I should kill her soon before she finds out what I am.

Dear Diary,

I killed her last night. I ripped out her heart and drank her blood as it spilled from her still warm body. Her blood tasted so good and her heart was very chewy. I can’t write in you anymore because if I do someone might find you and find out what I did. My new friend and I are going to live together in a very safe place and make more like us. Good bye diary, I hope you are destroyed in the fire. Bye!

On Friday the 30th at 2:35 A.M the Carousel Boutique burned to the ground. The body of Miss. Rarity was pulled from the ashes, but to the whereabouts of her sister sill remain unknown. However before officials arrived at the fire, a mysterious pony was seen fleeing the fire with a book in his saddle bag.

Author's Note

Up next a human commander of the United Equestrian Task Force, Sierra Lynn.

Sierra Lynn: the Fallen Comander

Commander Sierra Lynn was assigned to the U.E.T.F (an advanced team of humans and ponies in charge of protecting Earth and Equestria) to aid in the investigation of the mysterious disappearances and deaths of ponies all over Equestria. This is her personal log as she conducts the investigation.

Commander’s log 1426
I have been assigned to the U.E.T.F after my success in the rescue of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and the chaos pony; Miscord, from the changelings. I hope I will get the same respect as I did with my old team. I might be a woman, but I am still up to the challenge.

Commander’s Log 1427
Day one of the investigation. I decided to go to the home of the first pony that disappeared. We arrived at Dr. Nightlight’s home/lab at 4:40 A.M. What we found I will never forget. The lab was splattered with blood and a weird yellow slime. Bits of meat and intestines covered the tables. Some spore-like substance was growing on the walls and floor. We got a sample, so we will get results on it soon.
The bed room was a bloody mess. Pony corpses were nailed to the walls, some had their organs hanging out, while some had slashed apart and chunks of flesh chewed of their bodies. We found a trap door under the wreckage that used to be the bed. We had to use magic to pry it open because it was glued shut by the blood of the dead ponies.
The trap door lead to a small underground room that was covered in that yellow slime except this time the slime had hardened into a honeycomb like form. The room looked like some sort of hive that had been abandoned recently. What looked like giant cocoons lined the walls. All of them were empty. I hope nothing hatched out of them that were dangerous.
I leaving a team here to keep a watch over the place, maybe they will find something that we missed.

Commander’s Log 1428
Day two of the investigation. Another team and I went over to the ruins of the Carousel Boutique, the second crime scene. We were poking around the ashes when we hit a metal trapdoor. There might be a pattern here, but I have to collect more clues before I decide.
We opened the door and climbed down a small wooded ladder that looked very new. Instead of a room, we found ourselves in what I can only describe as a giant hive. Unlike the one under the lab, this one was much bigger and was still active. We saw disfigured shapes moving around in the dim glow of our lights. The trap door above us slammed closed and locked from the outside. Our lights won’t last long so we turned them off and started to feel our way into the hive.
On our way down, we passed a cocoon that held a terrible scene. A small filly was floating in the yellow slime that was the interior of the cocoon. The filly’s flesh had mostly rotted away, what was left was an ash grey. The little pony was wearing ripped and torn clothes. The only words we could read were Cutie Mark Crus. I think we found the missing Sweetie Belle. The sad thing was, the little pony was still alive, but she was dead. I don’t know how she was still alive, but we had to keep moving.

Commander’s Log 1429
I lost half my team down here in this cave. We had to rest for a little bit, so we found an unused room that was connected to the hive. We set up camp and had just started to settle down, when the two one watch, a unicorn male and a human female, shouted out a warning. We struggled to get our weapons ready, when they attacked. They charged with the force of a dragon. The things overwhelmed us before we even knew what was happening. They dragged off four of my team and killed two more. The rest of us gunned the things down and ran for our lives. We are now in a small cave with no food and very little water. I have a long scratch on my side. I hope I don’t get infected.

Commander’s Log 1430
The rest of my team has disappeared, leaving me the last one left. I think……I think they all changed into those……..things. I might fall to the same fate. I won’t let that happen, even if it’s the last thing I do. I’m teleporting this log on to the surface in hope that someone will find it and know what happened to me and my team, so this will be the last entry of Sierra Lynn; Commander of the U.E.T.F. I’m blowing this place up so none of these things will ever harm anyone again. Goodbye.

The bomb that Commander Lynn set never went off. The things down in that cave are smarter than I thought. I did however find this log, so it is more proof that these things exist. The thing is I don’t have enough information on these mysterious things that live under the wreckage of the Carousel Boutique. I hope I can find more about these things. I will pass on the information to the others

-- The strange pony

Commander Lynn and her team disappeared on May 1, 2045. She was presumed dead and her parents were given a badge of honor. The rest of the U.E.T.F also disappeared without a trace and their base disappeared as well. A strange pony was seen running away from the last known location of Commander Lynn with a data pad floating in front of him.

Author's Note

There won't be more for a little while. I will be gone for a week, but i will have more when I return.

Charcoal Scream: The strange pony, the Changeling

Reader it’s me again. You have read the lives of two ponies and one human. They however are only a small part in this story. The next story is about one of my best friends. I found his letter in a box with other diary’s in it as well along with reports from some small equestrian investigation groups. Charcoal Scream is the first to discover the things that are killing ponies and humans. He was a good friend, even though he was……different. After his true identity was revealed, everyone hated him, except me. He was my friend no matter what.

To anypony,
This is so weird writing in a book. All my life I kept to my house and never left anything that would show my true identity, until now. I have moved homes; from the one in the Ever Free Forest, to the one in Ponyville and I quite like it here. I live right next to the library and I got a job there. The town is pretty quiet, some of the time, so it’s perfect for me. It’s better than basing my life on hate of ponies, but I still can only feed of them.
This is not the true reason that I am writing this however. I have found something so horrible that if not stopped, will wipe pot all life in Equestria and Earth. I will soon die, so I better start writing.
Four years ago, the pony Nightlight disappeared and left a lab with strange inventions and potions. He also created something that was never told. His most prized possession, his cure to cure everything. It didn’t work, but yet it did work in a way he would have never guessed. It changed him into a monster with unlimited power and strength, with the ability to turn others like him.
I found a trapdoor inside Nightlights lab under the corpse of a dead pony’s body. I found myself in a hive buzzing with the creatures. I was there for four days hiding in the darkness watching them. While I was down there I found out something very…..interesting. They seem to work as one unit like bees, except there is no queen as far as I can tell. They also abducted about fourteen ponies while I was down here. They cut the captured ponies with their teeth and stick them in cocoons. The ponies turn into them in the matter of hours. That’s how they multiply see. They are like zombies, except they are of one mind.
I’ve been studding the things, and I decided to call them the Infection. Sounds like a good name to me. I needed to send this letter out as soon as I can. They must have found out I was watching them, because when I woke up one morning, there was a scratch on my leg. I will soon turn into one of them.
They don’t know what I truly am, but they will soon. Once they find out that I am a changeling, my people will be in danger as well, because I hold all the knowledge on my kind. I could try to kill myself, but that won’t stop me from changing. Nothing can stop anyone from changing.
This letter will be sent out to multiple ponies and humans who I trust the most. You will know what to do once you get this letter, because well I’ve added more to this letter, but it’s not part of this letter. If go to your own personal bank, the rest will be waiting for you. Friend you don’t have to accept this task. You can just walk away and burn this letter, but remember if we want to survive we need as many as I can get working together to defeat the Infection. If none of you accept the task, we will all surly die.
Please except the task and stop the Infection from spreading. Don’t let me die for nothing.

From,

Charcoal Scream
The Changeling

My friend died on May 10th 1997 at 10 A.M. His body was to be burned, but it disappeared. In the span of ten weeks Ponyville was completely destroyed by multiple explosions. There were only 14 survivors. Ponyville was walled off and quarantined.
