Chapter 4 - Coronation Devastation

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Waking up was never easy for Danny, because every time he does, trouble seems to grow back again and again. Quite usual for him now, he missed the days where he just wakes up and worry about his reputation because on how embarrassing his parents were. Which caused the whole accident that changed his life forever.

That accident made him save another world, his own home town, and his own future. What will the world come to next?

“Ghosts!!” that would be his calling.

‘Giyuh...huh?’ Danny slowly opened his eyes and he came in first contact with some type of metal floor. His stomach felt cold, probably because he was laying his body on the cold floor.

Deciding that it was time to stand up, he started to focus his legs on standing up. When he was just about to get started he felt a headache that he will never forget. ‘Agh! My head...ow...so far...the worst headache ever...’

Out of habit he lift his hands up and head closer to his head to ease the pain on his swelling head. ‘Oooo...ahh...my poor head...why can’t I feel my fingers?’ he asked to himself.

He turned his attention to his hands; he then lifted his head again to see his hands. And now he knew the reason why he can’t feel any of his fingers. Hooves. He had hooves. Danny’s eyes widen in shock and confusion as he started to get up on his legs to investigate more.

As soon as he managed to stand up, he immediately flopped back to the ground instantly and now he was standing on four. His brand new hooves made a loud thud as it fell back to the metal floor. To his suspicion he turned to look at the back of his body.

He had no legs either, it was just another pair of hooves or he preferred to call it his back legs now because his hooves and the hooves at his back were the same size. Further inspection, he saw a yellow tail at the end of his butt. He tried to remember how to move an animal’s tail when he overshadowed one once.

With a flick of his tail he moved it a bit, but it satisfied Danny’s suspicion that he was controlling an animal. Now that he noticed it there was some sort of tattoo on both sides of his butt, it was just a bunch of bubbles tattooed all over it. He then saw something bundled up his back sides, it looked somewhat feathery. He made a few assumptions on what it was but just shrugged the question off.

Danny’s eyes widen as a sudden realization hit him, “Now I remember...wait, huh?”

Danny was surprised that his voice was high pitch than usual. Not like he always had a squeaky voice to begin with. “Ah...aaahhh...” he said trying to test his or rather the pony’s voice. It sounded feminine so he took a wild guess that he was controlling a girl type of pony.

“Agh! RUN!!”

Danny’s ears perked to the sound; luckily pony ears are rather sensitive to sound. He turned and followed the direction of the voice behind him and saw a pony past by him on his right as he continued. On just one look, he changed his widen expression into a cold glare.

Eight ghosts surrounded five defenseless ponies, and it just frustrates Danny to see people or ponies like this react to these kinds of things. They could just run through them, they were weak on becoming solid.

Snapping out of his short yet important thoughts, he concentrated his energy into the center of his body. It was time to get back to his duty as the hero again.

Invisible to the naked eye but you could feel the sensation building up.  With a flash of light, two blue and white rings appeared on his waist lines but it lined up vertically. As the process continued, the ring separated and went on to each different side.

The ring going towards his tail felt strange, the tight jumpsuit was there but something was different. So does the ring going towards the tip of his head. As the transformation finished, he quickly inspected on what cause the entire ruckus on his transition.

His jumpsuit was there but it was altered into pony size, his white line that halved his upper body and lower body was still there. And his white boots and gloves changed to pony size boots.But the tail though changed...a lot.

It was rippling like an ocean wave and rather the colour yellow the outer line was white and inside was the black part. As he slowly followed his suit towards his collar, his DP logo was there instead on his chest and it was black.

Furthering towards the girls hair or mane, it was like his tail but it extended longer than the tail. “Okay...that’s kinda cool...and my voice turned back to normal too...” he said. Before he could test his old voice again he heard a scream from the ponies that were surrounded. He turned his attention back to them and focused on using his ghost flying abilities.

WHAM!!

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

KABOOM!

Another explosion erupted inside the train car, but it was much louder than the last. All the windows shattered and catastrophic screams can be heard outside. Inside the train on the other hand was different. The danger was in much higher stake than all the combined disaster outside; an erupting power can be sense from afar. Standing at the far end of the train lay all the source of that extraordinary power.

"What are you doing!?It's dangerous in here, get out!!" a mare shouted inside. The tables have turned for our ghostly hero, his amazing entrance did not faze the three illuminating shadows across the dim car. Danny looked down again and said.

"Ugh...sorry, little pony, but I don't think it's the right time to..." Danny was cut off when he dodged another ghost ray. "Explain!!" he finished. Danny's ears perked as he heard of another incoming attack.

It zinged through the darkness as a neon beam of light was heading towards Danny. But with his quick reaction, he changed his feet or rather hind legs into a rippling ghost tail and dashed towards it. He turned in a circling motion and rapidly spiral around the beam. Attempting to reach the source in a matter of seconds.

The ghost has noticed his next attack and managed to move around the beam to try disrupt Danny's spiraling spin of doom. But he was still able to keep up with the moving beam; sometimes making larger spins when the beam was going upwards and wider spins when it went sidewards.

BWAHM!!

The ghost got hammered right in its jaw when Danny spiraled one last time under the beam to deal the final blow. An 'urk' sound was made as the ghost was punched towards the roof. On impact, the roof made a hard thunk and the ghost immediately dropped down double dead on the metal floor.

The three mares gasped in unison, Danny heard this and couldn't resist to smirk.

Then without warning another blast of energy zinged at the left side of the car. Danny flicked his head towards the sound and instantly got blasted by another beam. He again, completely forgot his quote, to 'You may impress people but please for all of humanity, never, ever impress animals!' or rather he completely made this one just now.

"Wah!" he screamed as he headed towards the opposite direction of the beam, crashing through some of the train seats.

Octavia tilted her head towards the left and saw the other two ghosts dashing form the side towards to their injured clone. They both held their fallen ally's arms to their shoulders and gave a quick hissing glare at the three confused mares. With that little fiasco over, the three ghosts became light blue and flew off through the roof.

Then there was silence...

Not one pony spoke a word from the three fallen mares. They can't seem to adjust on what in Equestria had just happened. The least thing they tried to do was to faint but unfortunately they weren't feeling it.

"Ugh...kay," Danny sarcasm as he tried to get out of the seat he was laying on.

"That was really lame," Danny rubbed his head to ease the pain. Luckily for him he didn't shattered anymore windows, because one more hit from a shattered glass could instantly kill him. He can't explain why yet, but just a gut feeling.

Danny then heard someone inhaling and exhaling in quick speed, sounds more like someone's hyperventilating. He turned his attention towards the hyperventilating pony behind him and saw a beige coated, with a pigment blue mane and rose pink streak of mane breathing heavily.

'I didn't scarred another one's life again, did I?'

Danny sighed heavily at the thought, capturing the attention of the three mares but that didn't stop the pony from breathing heavily. And they just stared at each other and the silence continued. The pony's breathing can't get even fast enough but apparently when they made eye contact with each other her breathing went incredibly fast.

The black mare just stared at him intently, the look on her eyes told Danny everything. She was... terrified and confused, she cannot just transpire on what just happened but when he looked at the spiky blue maned unicorns eye's, they were filled fascination and amusement. Her grin only grew wider every second I stared at her, like I was some sort of puppy that could do amazing tricks a couple of minutes later her smile just faded away.

"Well, this is awkward..." Vinyl commented. When she heard the unicorn's embarrassing comment he snapped out from his long daze by shaking his head and asked.

"Ugh...*ahem*, *cough*...anyway, do you know which way they went?"

And at the same time, the trio lifted their hooves and pointed towards the roof. Danny raised his head to follow the direction they were pointing at. With a quick smile, he glared towards the roof and took off.

THUNK!

Something struck Danny hard on the head. His whole world began to spin and he can still hear a ringing sound inside his head. His whole body began to shiver from his head towards his hind legs, like he was stung and then couldn't move. Who could've cause all of this pain, whatever it is, it was really powerful. With little of Danny's strength left, he managed to look up, just a little and only to notice...uh...a plain metal plate and slightly bumped car roof? Oh....

"Wwwwhhhaaaattt...." he said as his voice wiggled.

Immediately gravity finally got the hold of him and brought him back down. The impact will be devastating if he painfully landed correctly. But to his surprise, he landed unharmed. No belly flops or whatever, but it felt more like he dropped down to some nice, warm, and soft pillows. He considered himself quite lucky today, considering he just heard a tiny shriek.

His happiness was short lived when the voice became louder. Well, three voices to be exact, they were moaning and groaning. Even though he really, REALLY, didn't want to look underneath him, but because of his unconscious reactions he saw the three mares...under him. Because of him, they lay unconscious on the cold floor.

He let out a slight chuckle, "Well, at least that pony's not hyperventilating anymore," he said to brighten up the unnusual scene. But no...pony reacted to his comment. He slowly got out of the three poor saps and bowed slightly.

"I-I am sorry...I'll repay you...ponies someday," Danny lifted his head up again and this time he went light blue and finally, after a long while he flew through the wall.

"That is, if we meet again,"

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Aha! There you are!!" his cry made the three ghosts flinch and glanced over at the sound. And there was only one thing to do at a time like this. Run.

Que the chase music, because it's going to be long chase. The ghost in the middle released his arms from his allies shoulders and decided that it could fly by itself. Danny transformed his hind legs again into his ghostly tail and ran off towards the escape pursuits.

They're chase was like no other, the ghosts were very tactical on trying to loose their predator. They zipped past through a bunch of clouds, puffing them down to make a small fog whenever Danny passes by.

They've got to give the ghosts a credit, it was actually working. The pony's eyes were more sensitive than he thought it would be. The hazy visions lasted for a very long time and its time limit extended even more each time he passed another pitch of fog, and the more it extended its time limit, the harder it will be for Danny to see.

"Cursed pony eyes!" Danny growled.

He tried to shield his eyes with each passing fog to decrease the haziness in his eyes, but to his avail it only seemed to work slightly. Danny was getting irritated and decided to use his common sense for once. He flew above the level of the clouds while he still got his sights on the three ghosts. He presume the superman pose and started to gain his speed again.

Danny started to got his momentum back and his speed increased tremendously. He started to lower his altitude so he can finally nab the trio. 'Is it finally over?,' he thought that it has finally ended, it was kind of sad to see these three ghosts actually lived this long from being chased by him. Another world record.

Suddenly, the ghosts on each side split up. Ghost number one, or a.k.a the left one, raised it's altitude and was just about Danny's level, so did ghost number two. Danny look both ways and saw were this was going, he quickly began to concentrate and was about to raise his invisibility cloak.  But he felt nothing came on.

'Huh, what?' he then looked at his superman flying pose hooves and saw it was still visible and can clearly be seen.

"Oh no...this is not the time..." he said to himself as he looked closer to his hooves for a closer inspection, the fact was still there, his powers were still broken.

Danny's ears perked up as he heard a charging noise, he looked at the ghost beside him on the left and saw it charging a green ball at the palm of their claws. So did the other two, Danny definitely knew it. From the back oh his head, he freaking KNEW it was going to happen.

"YAGH!!" he cried in agony as he was shot in multiple directions.

Danny tried to keep his eyes open, but the only thing he couldn't resist was these three weak and slimy blobs were actually having a chance on killing him. They're was one thing he could only do, but to do what he always does, figures out a way. Danny concentrated even more as steadily as he could then suddenly a black tentacle slowly sprouted off his back until it became another hoof. It was supposedly to become a hand but beggars can't be choosers.

Despite how gross it was...it was still helpful at times like this.

Luckily, the ghosts were too busy killing him that they didn't noticed the third hoof. With a strain of his strength fading, he was able to direct three hooves at each of the ghosts. With it, he charged his power up and immediately blasted them.

"Yah!"

"Grah!"

"Kugh!"

Danny exerted more energy at his hooves and the ghosts went further away from him, when they were far enough, he stopped his beam. And finally had a breather for once, he checked for his body for further injuries but can only see his back smoking. Wondering how bad it was, he decided to touch it...to see if it really hurt if he touch it. Well clearly it will.

But then he was interrupted when a ghost passed by his field of vision, it was the ghost that he blasted away in the train. He followed his direction and saw the three of them regrouping. As they regrouped they whispered to themselves and turned around glaring at him and Danny glared back.

'These ghosts are going down now, before they can embarrass me even more. Let's see how many more hooves I should make, one, two, three...four?'

Danny closed his eyes and shake his head, maybe it was his eyes were playing tricks on him again. As he opened his eyes, they were no longer four, but six ghosts that look exactly like each other. Then it became twelve, sixteen, twenty nine.....Danny lost his counting and finally snapped out from his daze, he wasn't pretty happy to see...

'Ah...if ghosts keep on multiplying they became a....a...whatcha' call it....a giant GREEN HORDE OF GHOSTS.' He can't sprout that many hooves at once and it requires a lot of his energy to create just one hoof. And actually he was clearly outnumbered so I don't think it was the best idea to deal with that many. He took a deep breath, clench his hooves, swell out his chest, and he proceeded to run away screaming like a little girl.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

'Is the chase music still on? Well good, because there's more!'

He was perspiring green drops of sweat, his heart was beating fast, and his adrenaline going to survival mode. He quickly turned his head back for a moment and saw the horde flying towards him at incredible speed. It was only a matter of seconds until he'll be....*gulp*

He lowered his head back into between his hooves and straightened his back more. Slowly his speed increased but it was not enough to outrun them. They were meters closer to Danny, thinking this will be a waste of his energy he started to blast them his ghost ray's.

Instead of them splatting in mid-air, they were instantly pushed back once a quick shot hit them from his ray. He was still too weak and he doesn't know why still. Naturally if he went ghost in another persons or rather ponies body he regains full health depending on the ponies current energy. And also his powers will be fully recharged. He seemed to be in terms with those conditions, why wasn't it working then?

Danny would likely want to stop running away once he got a hold of himself together. He shut his eyes, inhaled and exhaled, and suddenly he stopped midway of his flight and now he was currently floating in mid-air. Gathering his power more, he extended his hooves and left another void in between his hooves. He started to charge the void with a green light until a tiny green orb pop out.

It grew immensely once it was created, then it slowly enlarge itself more. Once it has reached the tip of his hooves he held his hooves back on his right side and separated the giant orb into two pair of glowing neon orbs. The ghosts were screaming and yelling , he saw some ghosts leaving the horde and went down in the city below him. This left Danny very curious and decided for once, to check where he was.

He wasn't very delighted once he saw the city. Every building was on fire and ponies were screaming and running. Different kinds of ghosts rampaging around the streets destroying these poor people...ponies property. Everywhere, but pure mass destruction, and it was his fault. Of course he doesn't fully know if it was his fault, but deep inside, he possibly dragged more innocent lives in his dark little world.

Perking his ears up instinctively, he flicked his head back up again and saw the incoming devastation. Without thinking, he quickly fired a beam from his right hoof and instantly bounced off an incoming ghost. He pulled his right hoof back and fired again with his left hoof this time, making another ghost bounce off. He did it alternately, until a spew rays came out from the horde. Danny dodged it magnificently with his ghost tail.

While he dodges every ghost ray, he knocks off a few more ghosts. Due to the pony's sensitive hearing, he heard pomf noise from behind. What kind of thing makes a pomf noise?

Just when his about to turn, he heard a girls voice humming some sort of sound. She sounded really full of herself despite their current situation. And there, he saw something unexpected, but not surprising.

It was a cyan...rainbow...pegasus, resting on a cloud behind him. There seems to be something on her hoof, it's something cylindrical and metal. This very strange shape was vaguely familiar, but he can't remember what it was because his brain was still processing what was happening.

"Watcha' ghosts doing? Playing a game of tag or something?" the rainbow pegasus suddenly blurted out.

Danny sighed and blasted another ghost ray, "You need to get out of here! It's too dangerous!!"

The rainbow pegasus didn't respond for a few seconds until she blurted out laughing. "I'm guessing you're a new one around this parts?"

"I'm a what now?" Danny fired another ghost ray, the horde kept coming closer and closer.

"Well, for starters, see this thing?" she raised the strange cylindrical device in front of him,

"Ugh, yeah?" Danny replied dumbly, still thinking about what's so familiar about it.

She popped the capped open, "Well, I'm about to give a small demonstration," she pointed the device towards the horde and with a smirk she immediately pressed the green button. The next part was a bit unexpected...

A blast from the past struck Danny's head like, like, the time when Tucker fell on top of his head when he was trying to act cool in front of a girl he liked by the stairs. Lucky for him, Danny saved him by being a soft cushion. The device finally clicked inside his brain, he remembered what the device was. But it acted differently.

The blue wave coming from the Fenton Thermos, was acting strange. It wasn't making the sound when a ghost is captured but more of a beam humming and laser ray blasts. He looked at the end of the wave and as he saw a huge line of ghosts in the sight of the blue wave, they splatted in mid-air.

The rainbow pegasus swayed the thermos to the right, destroying half of the horde. Danny was utterly shock on what he was seeing. He looked at the rainbow pegasus again, and saw her laughing maniacally like mad man...or pony. It's just how he depicted but in reality, she was just laughing manically...I don't think there's much of a difference.

The blast slowly began to diminish, as the final gray smoke come at the edge of the thermos. The rainbow pegasus brought the thermos closer to her muzzle and blow the puff of smoke away. She closed her eyes and smiled, for a job well done and Danny can't keep his mouth shut when he looked at the horde, or the non-existing horde blast into ectoplasmic substance.

Danny and the rainbow pegasus slowly turned their gazes at each other. Awkwardness filled the conversation of their gazes. Danny can't create with any single question that comes to mind. As his head go on auto-pilot he asked, "Did you just..blasted them...with that!? That device is not used to destroy ghosts!?"

The rainbow pegasus smirked as she showed the gizmo again, "Well, that can be explained in another time," she quickly directed the end of the thermos at him as the thermos charges up. "That is IF we meet again!"

'Am I getting a deja vu?'

Danny lifted his hooves back into his ghostly tail again and gave an embarrassed chuckle, "Hehehe..." With that, he dashed towards the left side of her direction. He held his hooves on his sides and started to fly faster. He tried to look back and see where the rainbow pegasus was and all he can see was a diminishing rainbow streak. Wait, what!?

DOINK!

"Hmmpffh!" Danny's voice muffled. His face planted to something hard but at the same time squishy. His nose twitch like something small and prickly was tickling his nose. He tried to remove his head from the hard and fluffy material. And what he saw next was really blue and the next part was weird and it got even more awkward.

It was her.

He grunted at the sight and quickly flew off her. The rainbow pegasus laughed, "Hahahahahaha!! No pony can ever escape me, Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier and also the most awesome pony in Equestria!!"

'R-rainbow D-dash...' Danny gave a fake puke face and held his hoof over his muzzle to stop his over exaggerated expression. He released his hoof from his muzzle and took a deep breath and breathe it all out with an annoying groan. "Rainbow Dash huh, a really weird name and also kinda...ffff...well," Danny slowly trailed off as he saw the thermos pointed at him again.

"My name's a what!?" self-proclaimed, Rainbow Dash demanded an answer.

"It's sorta like ah...." Danny trailed off but this time daring her to shoot him. He was a bit on his braggy side, since he was ticked off because she was not explaining what happened back there.

"Uh-huh, go on..." Rainbow growled, daring him instead. Danny heard the thermos, charging up.

"Ugh...hey, what's over there!?" Danny shouted as he pointed his hoof on the left. Begging that the Rainbow pegasus fell for it, he turned again and saw that she didn't move an inch. Not even interested on what he was even saying.

The thermos started to hum loudly, a blue light started to shine out of the blasted thing. Without any doubt on what he's about to do next, Danny swallowed his fear and clenched his hooves.

A split second later, the blue beam finally blasted. Then the whole thing happened like it was in frame by frame. Danny closed his eyes and held his back down and upwards to gain a small boost. Mini second later, the beam were inches away closer to Danny's chest. He outstretched his hooves in front of him until his ghost tail was at the range of the beam left, hoping that it could escape with him, he was hit.

Danny gritted his teeth trying to endure the pain. The tip of his tail felt like it was on fire, but in reality it was just smoking. He tried to forget the pain and proceed with his plan on escaping. He quickly followed this by flying over her and dashed to the opposite side.

Time flowed normally again as the beam diminished from the lost of sight on the ghost. Rainbow flinched her head behind her, then she saw her prey getting away. Deciding that literally she could overpass him in flying, she will try to have some fun while it lasted. She beamed her wings upwards and quickly gave chase, leaving behind a trail of rainbow all the way.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

“I hate-“a short delayed blue beam blasted behind him, he tilted his body to the right to dodge the incoming attack.

“hate, hate-“ another beam was shot then Danny turned his body to the right, dodging the deadly blast again.

“hate, hate, HATE this PLACE!!” Danny shouted as he finally finished his tiny complaint.

Another beam was shot but it wasn’t directed at him at all, it missed. ‘Ever since I got here, all I needed was some help and what did I get...attacked by multicolor FREAKING ponies!’ he screamed inside his head.

Just the thought of it makes him sick. The shame will definitely go down in ghosts history and beyond. That the 'halfa' was killed by ponies. Little and tiny ponies killed HIM. What next, a giant asteroid will fall from deep space that will crush all of humanity and he can't do anything about it despite how powerful he is?

And this Rainbow character is so gay that he couldn't concentrate. What parent named their child like this? Well he thought that he shouldn't complain because his real name is Daniel, yet he preferred to be called Danny. Despite the naming part, his parents were a bit upset on him not liking his given name. 'I wonder if this rainbow pony has the same deal with me?'

His thoughts came back together as he quickly stop in mid air. Finally trying to fix himself in the air, he concentrated his eyes on the flying pony in front of him.

The rainbow pony yawned as she targeted the thermos at him again, "Booooring! Is that how fast you can go? I didn't even break a sweat!!" she exclaimed.

'I swear, that ego of hers will get her nothing but trouble...' Danny growled.

"It was fun while it lasted, but it's time to say good-bye," she activated the device, as the power build up inside.

"Oh...contraire, you can't put me inside that thing anymore, it's already full!" Danny smirked.

Remembering every last function of the Fenton Thermos, if he can remember correctly it can only capture up to twenty ghosts, fit it with five hundred weak ones then it will be at it's full capacity. While ten huge ones like Technus an Undergrowth consume a lot of it spaces.

"You would be surprised that this thing is not used for capturing you fools anymore..." the humming noise became louder.

"What!? What do you mean!?" Danny shouted, demanding for an answer.

"Didn't I say that I'll explain in another time? Well, too bad you don't get to be here on another time!!"

How stupid of him to be just standing there demanding answers. Where he could just flee from the incoming blast. If it wasn't used for capturing anymore then his eyes weren't lying to him that the ghosts back there were blown to bits. Hoping that sheer luck would save him again, he tried to dodge it.

But it was too late, the thermos was close enough that even if he dodged it, the pony will just sway it to the side where he was. He kept thinking to himself, 'Is this how I'm really going to die!?' over and over he thought of it as what little time he was given to him. Funny, he thought that this very last second when his about to die, some weird miracle will save him but at a cost of something. Will it work again though? He knew none of these ponies, so why should they save him?

The blue beam blasted out of the thermos but for one more remorseful act, he tried to whack the thermos out of her hooves.

SNAG!

"Hey, what the--woah!!" the Rainbow pony was suddenly tugged down as she released the thermos out of her hooves. The wave diminished as it flew in the air. Luckily Danny's body was slightly tilted to the right so beam singed some strands of his hair at his left side of the pony's hair. Danny had never been terrified in close with death for all of his life. He never wore a long poker face that long.

Rainbow Dash quickly looked on what's tugging her down as she tried to flap higher. There was a looped rope around her left hind leg. She tried to concentrate her peripheral vision towards the end of the rope and saw none other than her friend, Applejack.

"Hey!! What gives!?" she angrily asked as she tried to resist Applejack's strong pull.

Below, the orange mare with a blonde pony tailed style gritted her teeth more to get a hold of the rope still. She was sweating bullets as she tried to stop Rainbow for whatever she was doing. She directed her eyes towards the angry mare.

"Stwahp! Fweh need him tfo bve alife!!" she replied with a muffled tone.

Danny tried to decode on what she just said and his brain produced an answer like a light bulb. 'I don't understand what she was talking about, but I'm guessing they wanted me alive...or something?' thinking that's what she was saying. Then out of nowhere another pony appeared, but this one's unusual.

This pony was pink. Determining the color, he thought it was a girl. Her mane was dark pink and it was straight. No loosed hair strand, it was just straight. There appears to be something stuck in her mouth.

‘ Okay, this day has gotten even weirder, Danny tried to relish the thought and gave a note to himself that his life has always been weird so it makes sense not to doubt about it anymore. Ever since he was born, his parents quarrel about almost everything, like if Santa was real or not.

‘Now that I think about it, I think it’s the right time to escape while they’re still chatting,

With a small grin on his face, he slowly moved away from the quarrelling ponies until he was far enough for him to form his flying stance. Slowly he was closer to achieving his half-baked plan on escaping until something hit him on his chest, it felt like it was wrapping around his body.

“Kugh!” he gagged.

He turned to look what happened, until he felt both of his hooves tightened closer to his body. Danny was surprised on what caught him, as he looked and see a black and light blue stripped rope with two black balls at each end of the rope swinging around his body. It was snare used for disabling animals from running by throwing this particular trap onto their legs, wrapping about it. And now he was being treated like an animal.

The next part was really shocking, literally. He heard another humming noise and it wasn’t the thermos he was hearing but the rope that was tied to him. As he felt the heaviness of the two black balls dragging back down by gravity, the rope’s striped colors began to shine brightly blue. Danny tried to stay afloat but the snare pulled him down like no one’s business. Then a tiny sparks from different spots of the rope started to circulate around it. Danny tried to squirm out of it, but it was too tight. Until...

BBBBZZZZZTTT!!

“gggGGRRRAAAHH!” Danny screamed.

He had felt this kind of pain before when he was in the Ghost Portal. After turning it on in the INSIDE( so idiotic of him), the portal turned on and electrocuted him inside, gaining him his ghost powers.

But that’s not important as his whole body began twitching and aching in frenzy. Danny’s eyes kept contracting back and forth and his mouth can’t decide to open wide or just grit his teeth. But the mouth chose both, making him do a ton of faces.

“UUUWRRRRGGGHHHH!!” his voice jiggled in pain.

Then finally the electrocution quickly died down. Stopping the pain and also made him loose his consciousness. A gray smoke emitted from his back while he felt light-headed as he started to be pulled down by gravity. He crashed on the ground with a loud thud, a dust of debris and split ground produced on impact.

“Ugh...” Danny groan as he flop his body on a resting position, still with the rope tied to his body. His body twitch as a short flow of electricity hit his body. He started to wheeze and gasp for air after all the screaming he had done today. Another short flow of electricity hit him again, flinch his head to rest on the right side.

“Nice one Pinkie!” a voice praised.

He heard a scoff noise emitting at the other side of the pitch of dust. As another voice spoke, it was the Rainbow pony.

“Don’t we have that Box Ghost to interrogate with?” she asked. He heard her wings flapping really close until it stopped.

“And where did that git us?” the orange pony asked in a western accent.

“Ugh...it ahy....” Rainbow couldn’t think of an answer.

‘W-what’s...going on...? Wha-what happened back there?’ Danny questioned in his thoughts. His eyes were getting heavy again. Losing consciousness in front of these monsters is not an option to uphold. Struggling to keep his eyes wide open, a blurry figure approaches out of the debris.

As the dust finally vanished into the air, the pink pony, assuming her name was Pinkie was next to where his head was looking. Danny could tell it’s her even if it’s just some one’s hooves he was looking at. The pink color gave it away.

Danny’s eyes strained as he tried to roll his eyes towards the pony. Seeing that his eyes fixated on the pink pony, her face became visible as Danny met a cold glare coming from the pony.  His eyes widen in shock as he never seen that kind of glare in his life. It was new but oddly recognizable.

“Get up,” Pinkie crossly said.

“Huh...?”

“Get up,” she repeated her demand.

Danny’s brain process was really slow from the shock. He can’t put the words that Pinkie said together. Then Pinkie slowly approached him, Danny’s eyes followed her. She immediately stopped once she was close enough to his tied up body.

‘Guh!...What’s she doing?’ Danny asked himself in thought.

Pinkies breathes in as she closed her eyes then breathe out with her eyes still closed. Concentrating on something then she opened her eyes slowly with her left hoof lifted slightly.

GUK!

Pinkie swung her hoof towards Danny’s head, kicking him in the face hard. The force of impact tossed him out of the cracked floor, rolling on the ground as he slowly stopped over by a wall.

“Kugh!!” Danny coughed with drops of blood from his mouth to the ground, blood started to drop out of his mouth. Pinkie started to walk towards him again and as she approached him she stomped her hoof.

“I thought I told you to get up!” Pinkie finally shouted a command.

Danny’s chest started to wheeze and each time he breathes hurts a lot. Then he noticed his right eye not opening anymore. When he tried to open them, it stung like a bee even if it moved an inch. And something was oozing out of his right eye. Was it blood?

“*cough* H-how do y-you...expect me ...*huff*...to stand...when I’m...*huff*...tied up like THIS!!” Danny replied, forcing to use the extent of his powers on talking.

Pinkie sighed like she was getting annoyed, “You can fly, right!?”

Danny started to wheeze heavily; that one sentence alone was excruciating for him. His ears perked up suddenly when he heard a loading sound of a gun. With his left eye still intact, he tried to follow the sound. And this time he was going to die when Danny saw Pinkie holding the thermos right in front of his face.

Danny’s pupil contracted as his eyes focused on the metal device. He looked up towards the pink pony and asked, “I...*huff*...thought...you needed me...*cough*...alive”

Pinkie pressed the button as the thermos charges up, “Chuckle at the weepy...” she said as her eyes became menacing than before. Its power was in full swing as the light from the thermos shined brightly.

‘Was this it? As in for real?’ Danny couldn’t believe on how powerless he felt even when he faced death itself. His memories flashed right before his eyes, signalling that it was really over. Danny’s left eye contracted each time to the thermos and the pink pony of death, leaving blurry figures when he looked at them alternately.

‘I-I...’

“PINKIE, STOP!!” Applejack tried to stop her, but it was too late.

The blue wave of beam was released, ‘I CAN’T DIE LIKE THIS!!’

BOOM!!

The blue beam blasted from the ground until it managed to drift upwards towards the buildings. Destroying half of the abandoned houses. The gust of wind finally picked up after the blast, shielding both Applejack and Rainbow’s eyes with their hooves. When the beam quickly diminished left a huge debris of dust and broken property of buildings scattered all over.

As the smoke slowly diminished, Pinkie was coming into view. Applejack sighed with grief, “How many times did Ah told you to not kill ahny of the ghosts that we captured?”

Rainbow looked at her left hoof then decided to get rid of off the, “*cough*, *cough*, And also lay off the power on that thing, you’re gonna destroy more than what the ghosts did,” Rainbow reminded her. But she was not paying attention.

Rainbow and Applejack looked at each looking worried, “Uhm, Pinkie Pie, what’s wrong?” Applejack asked.

“He escaped...” she replied, which made Rainbow left her mouth wide open.

“But didn’t you-“

“Obliterated him? No, I didn’t, he escaped somehow,” she finished Rainbow’s sentence and added a few on her own.

“Then where could he be? We might still make use of him,” Applejack asked, sounded a bit more scared.

Pinkie turned around to face them, still with the angry look on her face, “Search around the perimeter!” she ordered. “While you’re at it, eliminate the remaining targets!” Pinkie added as she galloped past them and started to blast with her thermos the remaining ghosts.

Applejack shook her head and turned her head towards Rainbow, and they both stared at each other, “Ya’ know I’m Ah bit worried about her, uhm...current condition,” Applejack said, trying not to insult her friend.

“I know what you mean, but what else can we do? Ever since she lost HIM, nothing else could cheer her up and then she became like this,” Rainbow pointed out.

Applejack closed her eyes and sighed and looked towards her disoriented friend in the distance, “Let’s just hope everything turns back to normal after all of this,” she ended as she readied the thermos that was hanging on her strap and quickly gave Rainbow a quick nod then fled towards the opposite direction.

Rainbow on the other hand, flapped over where she thought her thermos had landed when she dropped it. But when she got her destination, it wasn’t there. She looked over at the different spot where she thought it would be, but it was not there also.

“Huh? Where is it then?” she asked to herself. Infuriated she tried to fly where the last time she saw it and used the sky to her advantage to see where it was. But sadly she didn’t see it. She’ll be in deep trouble if her FRIEND knew something bad happened to it.

Danny’s PoV

‘Huh? Where am I? Why is it so dark? Ugh...my head’

I think I might add four more people to my big avoid list...or rather ponies. I always get it wrong...heh...I better get used to it. But why should I? I’m already dead, so this is what death feels like. I mean like I’m really dead; it’s not like with the accident with the ghost portal. I was half-dead back then.

But all of those things don’t matter now, now I’m a hippie in the heavens. I feel so worry free from all of my duties as the hero down there; it’s so nice to be so free.

Hmmm....something’s wrong, why do I feel like my body’s rumbling and shaking? Impossible! I’m not supposed to feel any pain when I’m dead. Or do they?

THONK

Ow! Hey, what the heck!?

“Whoops, sorry...” a female voice asked for forgiveness.

Is she referring to me? Wait, I’m still ALIVE!!

“Ugh...ow, what the heck was that for?” I groaned as I lifted my hoof to my head to ease the pain on the bruise on my head. But it failed shortly after when I noticed that I was on someone’s back.

I heard a short gasp from her and she said, “Whew! You’re still alive!!” she exclaimed.

“Ah! Not so loud...” grah, my ears are ringing. All I can hear right now is her hooves running and I can smell something awful.

I tried to open my eye, the one that was NOT injured by that pink maniac to see on what in the world was going on. But I couldn’t because we were moving to fast.

“Ahehe...sorry again,” she tried to apologize again.

“Wait, please stop...” I requested, I needed some rest from all of this.

“Huh? Uh...yeah, ok!” she happily replied. As she carefully slowed her pace until she completely stopped. Afterwards I heard a loud humming sound, but it was seriously different from the thermos form which I heard. Its humming noise was becoming louder then softer and it did this alternately later on.

Then I felt no support beneath me like someone was lifting me up in the air with no one holding me! I’m so confused by all of this, as I retry to open my left eye again. After that, I felt the cold earth touched my rear once more, hooray...and successfully reopening my eye again.

I looked to my left and right but it was pitch dark and I couldn’t see a thing. Like my eye was still closed. Until I saw a blue spark lit shortly in the darkness. I shake my head to see if I was imagining things again until it lit up again but this time it lasted longer this time. The light enveloped some sort of horn-like structure. The blue light extended further throughout the place I was in and as I guessed it I was in the sewers. But who could have made this type of light here?

I was about to see my answer as I saw the source of the light.

And what did I see under that blue light, a UNICORN!!  You know those MYTHICAL creatures in MYTHS that NEVER EXISTED was right in front of ME!! Then that must mean that Rainbow whatever was a p-pegasus!! Aw...my poor, poor brain.

She had a light blue colored braided mane and she has a pale white coat. She seems to be wearing a green dress but in pony size type of thing. Her eye’s were emerald green and she was the source of all the magic.

I sighed relentlessly, “I must have died...”

“Hey stop joking about that!” she yelled as her voice echoed throughout the sewers.

I tilted my head in confusion, “You’re not going to kill me?” Isn’t she suppose to kill me?

Her eyes instantly widen once I asked, “What, NO!...” she stopped for a moment as her eyes retracted to normal. “I don’t feel the intention anymore...at least,” she finished.

Wow! It’s been so long since I saw someone pity over little old me. It kinda helped a bit.

“Then you’re the one who saved me?” I asked, since I can’t think of anything else to ask.

She smiled and nodded towards me, “Yeah, I never thought that you were still alive,” she said in amusement.

“Heh, well that’s me, I always- *cough* *cough*” I coughed uncontrollably for the past five seconds. I thought I saw my blood spitting out of my mouth again, oh man...Mom and Dad wouldn’t be happy about this. Then suddenly I saw a levitating covered with a light blue aura napkin in front of me and afterwards it carefully pat down my mouth and my eye. It stung a little but I didn’t care.

“Shhhh...save your energy,” she hushed my mouth with her hoof, as she retrieved the bloody napkin back into her dress. Okay....so she kinda helped me...huh?

After that odd action, she closed her eyes and sighed. She seems to be regretting about something, but what? She opened her eyes and looked directly straight to my eyes, I mean eye.

“Listen closely, at the end of this sewer you have to go intangible and fly upwards. You should be far enough from Canterlot and be able to do something from there,” she explained as she directed her hoof towards the side of the sewer tunnels.

“What? How did you-“

“Knew that you could past through walls, call it my expertise,” she puffed her chest with pride.

I gave her a ‘yeah right’ gesture as she chuckled softly. She cleared her throat and looked at me again, “I’m sorry I can’t carry you in that state, if I’m gone for too long, those ponies will get suspicious and they might think I was the one who helped you escape,” she explained her reason.

“But ain’t that kind of guess takes a long shot that you were helping me?” I asked the obvious possibility.

“Hohoho...These ponies would go that far Danny, they’re too terrified that they’ll believe in anything” she laughed heartily.

My eyes widen as I noticed something in that last statement, “Wait! How do you know my name?”

Instantly she stopped laughing and she made circling gesture with her hoof, “Cause’ that’s what your logo meant? Yeah that’s it!” she yelled with confirmation.

“That’s quite a long shot-“

“Okay, you must go!! I have to go as well, as in right now!!” she interrupted me almost immediately   and I felt someone levitating me again, must be her. Probably, I was covered with a light blue aura, so yeah, it was her and her magics...

“Fly now, ta-ta!” she waved her hoof towards me as she headed off the other direction.

“But, just...” I tried to think what I was going to ask since this was all happening too fast. “Who are you?”

She stopped for a moment and turned her head towards me. My eyes were full of curiosity on who the heck she was and how she knew my name. Once I knew hers, then I hope my heart is now satisfied.

Her serious expression changed as she smiled at me, “Someday good sir, I will tell!

She turned her head away from me as a loud humming noise was heard, louder than that levitating spell she was doing. Until a bright flash of light blinded my eye as I closed it instantly. Crushing my right eye slightly from the sudden pressure. Then there was silence.

I opened my eye again and to my surprise she wasn’t there anymore. Like she just ‘poof’ disappeared like magic. So this world has magic, well, well, mysterious unicorn indeed. It just proves that these ponies are like the people in my world. Some are destructively annoying while others were kind and helpful towards me.

I held my left hoof up high and emitted my own source of light from the remaining energy I still have left. I changed my hind legs into my ghost tail again and started to stay afloat. Then I followed the direction which that strange unicorn told me too.

Even though I felt weak, I was still strong to pull myself together while flying because it’s the most basic ability that any ghost could have. But now I wonder, the most obvious question that I should’ve known from the start. And likely I will find that answer soon.

Will I survive?

Extra Author Notes:

I made this chapter with a bit of the Dark genre but this will not happen again because I had to show something important here. But I can’t promise you if I will ever do this again because on how my brain pops up with so many ideas. So yeah...that was chapter 4. Some kind criticism would be likely appreciated. I hope your patience with me is still there, thanks for all the likes and faves.
