Nightmare at the Gala!
The Murderers First Attacks
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sound of thunder continues to boom across Canterlot, and everypony stands still in the dark, silent. A sudden flash of lightning turns on the lights of the castle. Everypony looks around for any changes that were made, and at the top of the staircase is a chandelier, and a filly is hanging by a noose from the chandelier. It's Scootaloo. "NO!!!" screams Rainbow Dash. She flies over to the chandelier and unties the noose. She rests Scootaloo on the floor and places her hoof against her neck, there's no pulse. Rainbow Dash can't breathe. "She wouldn't just do this to herself!" she yells. "WHO KILLED HER WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT?!" Everypony keeps silent as Applejack walks over to Scootaloo. "Poor little fella never got her cutie mark." Just then, another flash of lightning strikes, but louder. Outside the castle, there is a parked scooter, with blood stains on it. Suddenly, a blue aura glows around it, but nopony is in sight, everypony is in the castle. The scooter starts moving towards the castle and gets faster and faster, Inside the castle, a light shines on Scootaloo's flank. "Is that what I think it is?" asks Applejack. "It's her cutie mark!" says Rarity. The light dims out and shows a scooter with blood stains on Scootaloo's flank. "Uhm.. Applejack.. I'm no expert with cutie marks but.. don't you find this one to be weird?" asks Rainbow Dash. "Well of course ah do! Why is there a scooter with blood stains for her cutie mark?" Rarity gets a flashback to when Scootaloo crashed outside of her store, she shivers and turns around. "I can't look anymore." says Rarity.
Just then, a loud revving sound is heard from outside. "Does anypony else hear that sound?" asks Celestia. Luna hears it as well. "It sounds like a sound to a vehicle." Applejack recognizes the sound as it gets louder and louder. "EVERYPONY DUCK!" she screams. Outside, the blue aura around the scooter starts flying. The aura disappears as the scooter crashes through the window behind the staircase. At the bottom of the staircase is Rarity, whose back is turned from the horror behind her. She didn't listen to Applejack, as she is the only pony who didn't take cover. The scooter is flying towards her. "Rarity! Watch out!!" yells Fluttershy. "What?" asks Rarity turning around. Before she can even scream in reaction, the scooter goes right through her head, splitting her skull and brain in half. She collapses to the floor in a pool of blood.
Twilight and Applejack stare with their mouths open, Rainbow Dash starts vomiting, Fluttershy screams in terror, and Pinkie Pie is still standing where she has been, stiff as a statue. "Oh my gosh... Rarity." says Twilight. Luna covers both of her eyes when Celestia calls the royal guards. Rainbow Dash wipes her mouth. "That was the worst thing that I have ever seen." she almost throws up again, but holds it back. Two royal guards come to pick up the bodies, as they pick up Rarity, one of the guards starts throwing up as they walk away.
Everypony starts to shake in fear when Celestia speaks out to them. "There's nothing to worry about for now, hopefully there won't be any more accidents!" says Celestia. Rainbow Dash flies over to Celestia. "Do you think somepony in here did it?" "I'm really not sure." says Celestia. "I can't really confirm that there's a murderer at the moment." "I'm just gonna go try and have a good time." says Rainbow Dash. Celestia spoke too soon. All of the sudden, the ground starts shaking. "What's going on outside?" asks Luna. "I'll check!" says Spitfire. She flies over to the entrance. "It happens to be..." She looks outside. "A SONIC RAINBOOM?" Rainbow Dash flies over to Spitfire. "WHAT?! HOW?" yells Rainbow Dash. "Everypony, shield your eyes!" A huge Sonic Rainboom engulfs the castle in bright strobe colors, everypony is shielding their eyes, except for Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash and Spitfire fly over to Pinkie Pie. "You need to cover your eyes now!" says Rainbow Dash. "Stop acting like a statue and save your life for a few seconds!" says Spitfire. PInkie Pie turns to Twilight and gives her an angry look, she then pushes the two out of the way and makes a run for the entrance. She stares at the flashing colors and starts breathing heavily. Rainbow Dash and Spitfire run towards her. "Get back in here!" yells Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie looks at her, and before she can take a breath, she collapses on the floor, shaking.
"Help! Help!" yells Spitfire. "She's having a seizure!" "We need help! NOW!" yells Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie's eyes start to roll back.
