Chapters Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
The ponies left to do their business. "Well, that took forever." Twinight said as she got inside.
"What took forever?" Twinight looked to see who asked. It was Spike.
"Oh! It's you!" Twinight said.
"Twilight, why do you look so different?" Spike asked.
"What do you mean?" Twinight was asking
"Your hair and skin is darker." Spike said.
"Oh, that!" Twinight said. "Well, maybe should stop asking questions!"
"Why? There's something wrong with you!" Spike yelled.
Twinight was getting angry. Her horn glowed the color black.
"I-is that dark magic?" Spike asked, getting worried.
Twinight grinned. She lifted Spike off the ground. She started shrinking him!
"Twilight! Please! That hurts!" Spike yelled in pain.
"Twilight? Twilight is gone. I am Queen Twinight!" Twinight said. She put Spike on the ground. He was now the size of a mouse.
"Just to make sure you stay." Twinight said. She put Spike inside of a small cube. "There we go!" she grinned.
"You can't do this! Someone will find me!" Spike yelled. Twinight just kept grinning. She put the cube on a high shelf.
"There, nopony will find you up there!" Twinight said. She walked away.
"Wh-where am I?" Twilight said, standing up.
"Don't worry Twilight, you're ok!" said a mysterious voice. Twilight lit her horn.
"Who are you! Come out!" she ordered. A shadow shaped like herself appeared.
"Welcome to your mind." the shadow said.
"What?!" Twilight paniced. "What's going on!"
"Oh, I just took your body." the shadow grinned. "Don't worry, it's on good hooves."
Twilight ran at the shadow, but she ran right through. "What the?" she asked, confused.
"Silly Twilight, I'm your shadow. You can't hurt me." the shadow said.
Twilight lit her horn again. She shot a beam of magic at her shadow. The shadow lit her horn as well. They both attacked with beams. Twilight flew through the air. She lay on the floor, weak. The shadow lit her horn again. She tied Twilight to the wall.
"There, that's better." the shadow said.
"You can't do this!" Twilight yelled. Using all of her strength, she shot a beam at the shadow. The shadow dodged with ease. She lit her horn. A black hand came from it. It grabbed Twilight's horn and pulled on it. Twilight screamed in pain.
"Stop!" she yelled. Finally, the horn came off. Twilight watched in horror as her horn dropped to the ground. The shadow walked away from the weak pony, laughing.
"Have fun!" she called as she walked out of sight.
Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
"Finally the meeting is over!" Rainbow said to herself, flying around. She started flying right after the meeting. All the ponies in Ponyville came to watch.
"Hey everypony, look at Rainbow go!" one called.
"Perfect! A captive audience!" Rainbow said. She started to fly quicker and did bigger and more dangerous stunts. She finally flew up really high.
"I bet she's going to do a sonic rainboom!" called a stallion.
Rainbow looked down. She started to fly down. She got faster and faster. She then broke the sound barrier. The ponies watched in awe. "Sh-she's getting pretty close." the stallion said nervously.
"Don't worry. She's just going to pull up st the last second." a mare said. Rainbow was coming closer and closer. She was very close now. The ponies kept watching. Suddenly, Rainbow crashed on them.
"That was awesome!" Rainbow said, shaking of the blood on her hoof. "See you guys tomarow!" she walked away from the smoke. All the ponies died, their blood scattered on the streets.
Rainbow slowly stood up. "What happened?" she asked herself. She heared something coming. She turned to see a shadow flying fast at her. Rainbow was hit by the shadow. "Hey!" she yelled.
"Oh, Rainbow Dash. We meet." the shadow greeted.
"Who are you? How do you know me?" Rainbow demanded.
"I'm your shadow. You, like your friends, have been posessed by the shadow ponies." the shadow explained.
Rainbow started flying at the shadow. The shadow dodged and kicked Rainbow.
"Let me out of here!" Rainbow ordered.
"Fool, you can't escape your mind. The shadow ponies will finally be noticed!" the shadow yelled. She laughed. Rainbow tried getting up, but her tail was pinned to the ground. The shadow stepped on Rainbow's head. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of you." the shadow said.
Rainbow just glared. "I'll stop you!" she yelled.

Sorry the first part of this chapter was so short. I couldn't figure out how to make it longer.
Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
Appleheart walked back to Sweet Apple Acres. She opened to door to the cellar.
"Hey sis! How ya doin?" Apple Bloom asked.
"I'm fine." Appleheart answered, trying to get away.
"Where are ya goin?" Apple Bloom asked.
Appleheart slammed to door on her sister. She walked down the stairs and into the cellar. She walked over to a table with a pony sleeping on it. Appleheart put on her doctor head-band and pulled out her tools.
"Don't worry," Appleheart said, "this won't hurt a lot."
The pony opened her eyes slowly. "Huh? Applejack?" she asked. Appleheart shook her head. She picked up the scalpel.
"Ok, we're ready." Appleheart said.
"For what?" the pony asked.
Appleheart put her scalpel near the pony's chest. She started to cut into the skin.
"Ow! Stop it!" the pony pleaded. "Stop! Applejack, why would you do this!?"
"Oh, I'm not Applejack. I'm Appleheart." she lifted her scalpel away from the skin. "Well, that part's done." she said. She put her hooves in the pony's chest to separate the skin. She used another tool to keep it open. Appleheart dug through the guts to reveal the pony's heart. Appleheart grinned. She grabbed another scalpel. She slowly cut the heart out. She didn't want it damaged. She pulled out the loose heart. She started to form it, like dough, into the shape of an apple. She took out the red paint. She painted the heart and threw it into a small pile of other "apples".
"My head..." an orange pony awoke. "What happened? Where am I?" she asked.
"Don't worry, Applejack. We just wanted some time, that's all!" a shadow answered.
"Who are you?" Applejack asked.
"I'm your shadow. I'm in control now. Don't worry, I'll take care if your precious buisiness." the shadow explained.
Applejack glared. She ran at the shadow. She kicked it, but missed.
"So gullible." the shadow teased. Applejack watched as she started to sink.
"How did you do this?" Applejack asked.
The shadow grinned. "What do you mean? I did nothing. It was all you. You are the reason I'm here." she explained.
"No! That's not tr-" Applejack's mouth was into the ground. The shadow stepped on the remaining head, making Applejack sink the rest of the way. She laughed.
"Have fun."

Well, there's a little bit of explanation for you. More will come later, probably with Fluttershy.
Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
Flutterblade walked down the streets of Ponyville. She looked at a pony. She grinned.
"Um, excuse me?" she asked, pretending to be shy. "Can you help me move some things out of my cottage?"
"Of course, Fluttershy." the mare answered in a sweet voice.
The two walked to the cottage. "So, where's the stuff you need moving?" the mare asked. Before she knew it, the pony was knocked out by Flutterblade.
The mare woke up, strapped to a table. "Wh-where am I?" she asked. "Is anypony here?"
She looked to see Flutterblade come out from the shadows.
"Oh, Fluttershy! Can you help me out here?" the pony asked.
"Fluttershy? Oh no, Fluttershy is long gone. I'm Flutterblade . Welcome to your doom." Flutterblade explained.
She took something off a wall of sharp tools. She strapped something on her front hoof. At the end looked as if there were claws.
"Fluttershy, I mean blade, what are you doing?" the mare asked.
"Oh, just my favorite passing time." Flutterblade answered. She walked over too the table, her claws making a clink sound each step.
"Just relax." Flutterblade said. "This will only hurt a lot." The mare gulped. Flutterblade lifted the hoof with the claw, and scratched the pony, cutting the skin. Blood ushed everywhere. Flutterblade opened up the chest of the pony, revealing her guts.
Minutes pasted, but the pony finally died. Flutterblade picked up a hoof that fell to the ground. She used a pin to pin it on a board. She smiled. "I'm going to have a lot of fun!" she said to herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fluttershy woke up in her mind. "Huh?" she wondered. She saw a shadow. She screamed.
"Don't worry," the shadow responded, "I'm you!"
Fluttershy calmed down. The shadow grinned. Suddenly, Fluttershy was tied up!
"Hey! Why did you do that!?" Fluttershy asked.
"Just because I'm you doesn't mean I act like you." the shadow answered.
"Why are you here? What happened to my friends?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well, you see, us shadow ponies have never gotten to be REAL ponies. Everypony else always runs away. They hate us! But when we found out how to control others, we waited for you to become upset and weak. After that, we could easily take over. It was easy, Twilight was upset because Celestia got angry at her, Pinkie was upset because everypony ignored her parties, Rainbow was upset because everypony was bored of her flying, Applejack was upset because there was an apple shortage, Rarity was upset because her clothes weren't as good as before, and you were upset because you couldn't be tough." the shadow explained. "And now, Equestia is doomed!"
The shadow walked off laughing. Fluttershy started to cry.
"I don't want this to happen!" she told herself. "Not to me, not to my friends, not to anypony!" She looked down at the ground, tears coming from her eyes.
Author's Note
Sorry if Flutterblade is like Fluttershy from the MLP.MOV series. I came up with her before I saw that.
Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
A week later, the Elements of Shadow met up in the forest for another meeting.
I hope Twinight likes the dress I made! Rarisew thought. Also, I hope she likes the plan I made!
"Ok, everypony here?" Twinight asked. The others nodded. "Great. So," she was interrupted.
"Queen Twinight, I was hoping to say something." Rarisew said.
"What is it Rarisew!?" Twinight yelled.
"The other day, I thought to myself, why not evil-fy our pets?" Rarisew said. "Please don't hurt me!"
"That's actually a good idea." Twinight admitted.
"R-really?" Rarisew asked.
"Everypony go home and get your pet." Twinight ordered.
"I don't get why I have to." Flutterblade said. "Angel is already evil."
"Go get him." Twinight ordered.
Flutterblade walked away, rolling her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ponies cam back with their pets, Owlowiscious, Gummy, Tank, Winona, Angel, and Opal.
"Ok, I'll go first." Twinight said. She lit her horn and shot a beam at her owl that was tied up so he couldn't fly away. Owlowiscious's tanish feathers became dark brown and his normally dark brown feathers became black.
"Everypony, this is Owlvicious." Twinight said. "Now, Rarisew, give me Opal."
Rarisew gave Twinight her white cat. Twinight shot the cat with her magic. Opal became a light purple cat and her hair usually tied in a bow fell and became her bangs that covered one eye.Her tail also became sharp like a blade.
"This is Amethystescence. Or Amethyst for short." Twinight said.
She proceeded to transform the other pets. Gummy became Fangy and had razor sharp teeth. He was also slightly darker green. Tank became Flame. He had a navy blue shell with flames in it and he had sunglasses. Angel became Devil. His fur became black and he had a red cape. Finally, Winona became Boneia. Her teeth were sharper and she had darker brown fur. Her white fur became gray.
"Perfect." Twinight said. "Meeting over."
Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
A mare ran through the forest.
"They better be there." she said.
The mare was a dark purple with a slightly lighter purple mane. She had red streaks in it. She was also an alicorn. She looked both ways before entering the opening. She started to walk in.
"Hi!" a pony popped up.
"Whah!" the mare screamed. "Oh, it's just you."
"Yep! So, did you complete your mission?" the pony asked.
"Uh," the mare said.
"C'mon! We're waiting!" the pony bounced to the opening. The mare followed.
In the opening, 4 other ponies stood.
"Ok," said the pony, "now that we're all here, we need new names."
"Ok." the others agreed.
"I'll start. My new name is Party Pie!" the pony said. She was once Pinkie Pie, a pink mare who loved making friends and having parties. She had light pink skin with a darker pink mane. Now, her hair was flat, like her hair as a filly, and she was a darker pink.
"Party Pie? Is that the best you can do?" the mare asked.
"Well, how about your name? I'd like to see you do better!" Party said.
"Very well. You may now call me, Queen Twinight." the mare said. Twinight was named Twilight Sparkle before. Her purple shades were lighter, and she had pink streaks instead of red.
"Queen? Who makes you queen?" one asked. Twinight glared.
"Well, I AM an alicorn!" Twinight said. "How about you go next?"
"I will." the pony said. "Call me Flutterblade." She used to be Fluttershy. She had pale yellow skin and a light pink mane. Now, her skin was paler and her mane was slightly red.
"Oo! Oo! Can I go next?" another pony yelled.
"Fine." Twinight said, annoyed.
"Ok, my new name in Rainbow Boom!" she yelled. Rainbow was still Rainbow before, but she was Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Boom has a rainbow mane and has dark blue skin. Before, she still had a rainbow mane, but her skin was a lot lighter.
"It's my turn now." a pony said.
"Just call me Appleheart." she said. This pony was named Applejack before. She was orange with a blond mane. Appleheart is a yellow-orange with an orange mane.
"Ok, your turn." Twinight said, pointing to the last pony.
"Oh, ok! Well, I was thinking Rarisew, but if that's not a good name," she said.
"OK! OK! Your Rarisew! Just be quiet!" Twinight yelled.
"Oh, ok." Rarisew said. Rarity was Rarisew's name before. She has white skin and a curly purple mane. Rarisew is a light grey and her hair is darker. It also isn't curly anymore.
"Well, now that that is over with, we will now chose our elements." Twinight said."I am the element of dark magic."
"I call being the element of regret!" Party Pie called.
"Can I be element of want?" Rainbow asked.
"I will be element of consequence." Appleheart said.
"I'm element of pain." said Flutterblade.
"What about you, Rarisew?" Twinight asked.
"Um, I don't know." Rarisew said.
"You are the element of worry." Twinight said.
"Say goodbye to your elements of harmony, Celestia," Twinight said. "and say hello to the elements of shadow!"
Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
Party walked into Sugar Cube Corner and walked to her room. "How is everypony doing?" she asked as she walked in.
"Pinkie, can we please take a break?" a mare asked.
"NO! And I'm PARTY Pie, not Pinkie Pie." Party yelled. She walked to the punch table. "Do you want more punch?" she asked.
"No, I don't want punch EVER again." a stallion answered.
"Don't be silly!" Party said. She got a cup of punch and poured it in his mouth. "Now swallow." she ordered. The stallion shook his head. "I SAID SWALLOW!" Party yelled. The stallion quickly swallowed. Party smiled and walked back to the dance floor.
The ponies danced slowly. One was in the corner sitting. Party glared at them. The pony quickly stood up and partied again. Party watched as a stallion dropped to the ground. The guests gasped. Party ran over to check his heart beat. Party smiled. "Yep, he's dead!" she said. The ponies watched as Party stuffed the stallion into her closet.
"EVERYPONY RUN!" a mare yelled. The ponies ran to the door.
"Oh no you don't." Party said, blocking them. "The party's not over yet." One by one, all the ponies dropped. And one by one, they were stuffed in the closet.
Pinkie awoke in her mind. She saw a shadow walk up. "Who are you?" Pinkie asked.
"I'm you." the shadow answered.
"That's not possible. How can you be me when I'm me?" Pinkie asked. "Also, where is everpony?"
"I'll show you." the shadow answered. She pulled out a screen. "Here, you can see what you are doing." Pinkie watched.
"Why am I stuffing ponies in my closet?" she asked. "Stop Me!"
"Oh Pinkie. You are not in control anymore. I am." the shadow explained. She pressed a button and Pinkie was tied to the floor.
"Let me go!" Pinkie yelled. The shadow only laughed at Pinkie's misery. "I'll get you!" Pinkie yelled.
"Oh, I'd like to see that!" the shadow yelled, still laughing.
Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise
Rarisew returned to the Carasel Boutique dragging a bag. She opened the bag and took out a stallion.
"I'm so happy the meeting is over." Rarisew said to herself. "Twinight is so scary!"
She hooked up the unconscious pony on the wall.
"Huh?" the stallion asked as he woke up.
"Oh good! You're awake!" Rarisew cheered. "Just hold on while I get everything set up." Rarisew came back with a table. It had her sewing needle and thread. "Now, are you ready?" she asked.
"For what?" the stallion asked.
"Oh, you'll find out!" Rarisew moved closer to the stallion. She put her horn by his arm and started to scrape the skin off.
"Ow! Hey! What was that for!?" he asked.
Rarisew didn't answer. She picked up the skin with her magic and placed it on the table. "Now, let's finish this up!" she said. She scraped the pony until all his skin was gone. Blood was everywhere.
"Well, I don't really need the body." Rarisew said. "I'll just give it to Appleheart." She started to sew the skin together. "Hm. It needs something." she said. She walked over to where her other supplies were. She stepped on Opal's tail. "Oh, Opal!" she yelled. Rarisew looked at the cat and started to think. "I just got an idea!" she said. "I must let the others know tomorrow at the next meeting!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rarity woke up. She looked around. "Where am I?" she asked. She looked over at a shadow. "You over there, can you please tell me where I am?" Rarity called. The shadow starred. She lit her horn.
Rarity's tail was grabbed. "Ow! Hey!" she yelled. The shadow walked closer.
"Welcome Rarity." the shadow said. "This is your new home."
"What do you mean new home!? I already have a perfect home." Rarity said.
"Oh really? Well, take a look at this." The shadow projected a screen showing Rarity's house. Blood was everywhere, no pony was in the room except for Rarisew, and Rarisew was sewing a dress out of the skin.
"No! This can't be!" Rarity yelled.
"Oh, but it is!" the shadow said. It disappeared leaving Rarity forced to watch the screen.
Author's Note
Sorry if the last part of this chapter was short. I figured it was getting boring of reading pretty much the same thing at the end of each chapter. :/
