Personies

"Now my little ponies go into the mirror room, we cannot afford to lose anymore time."

Celestia smiles at the ponys as they walk out the great door Luna follows behind, Twilight turnd her head back to get one last glimpse of Celestia whose smile has distorted into a sad, nearly grieving expression.

Upon arriving in the room where the mirror stands the ponies are met once again with the strange expressionless mask that sits upon the face of this pony shrouded in mysteries.

"So then, are you ready to travel into the other world and rescue your friend?"He asked in a joyful tone.

"We don´t have much of a choice do we?" Twilight answerd.

"Luna will stay here and will function as a connection between this world and the other world, she will be able to communicate with you, I however will accompany you directly, believe me you don´t want to get lost in there."

"Well then into the mirror we go!“

Luna waves a goodbye as they enter into the unknown through the mirror.

"..ilight…hey…wake up..Hey Twilight come-on we need to go"

Twilight opens her eyes and sees Fluttershy leaning over her, Fluttershy begins to smile at the site of Twilight finally waking up and starring right into her eyes.

Twilight gets up on her hooves and observes her surroundings and thinks to herself

"This looks like Ponyville or at least what I can see looks like it this fog is really dense" She starts to walk towards something that seems to be her library "Fluttershy where are the others?"

"I´m sorry Twilight I don´t know, you were the only one I found so far."

Twilight mumbled quietly to herself "this can´t be a good sign." She tries to open the door to her library, but no such luck, its locked.

"Well" she sighed "We better start looking for the others, this place makes me feel uneasy."

As the two of them roam the deserted streets they are surprised by a loud explosion nearby.

"What the hay was that?!"

They stare into the direction the sound came from. Through the dense fog they can make out the silhouette of a pony coming their way.

"It must be one of our friends!" Fluttershy charges toward the figure.

"Hey Fluttershy, wait!"

Twilight starts to run after her but comes to an abrupt halt. Fluttershy cowers for the now close up pony, Twilight is shocked, the coat of the pony is tainted with dirt, brownish stains that seem to be dried blood, on the hairless parts the visible rotten skin  is only held together with some loose stiches. The head which looks like it been sewed together from different ponies slowly comes closer to the terrified whimpering Fluttershy. One empty eye socket and one blank eye stare into her eyes, it opens its decaying mouth and lets out a deep gurgling sound. Twilight finally comes to her senses.

"Fluttershy RUN!“

Twilight levitates a nearby trashcan and throws it at the vile creature. The impact force slams the creature to the ground. The two mares run along the road hoping that this monstrosity won’t follow them. Right as Fluttershy runs around a corner, *BAM!* she falls to the floor rubbing her head and looks up.

"Applejack I’m so glad to see you."

"Me too but no time talk sugar cube, Rarity hurry this way! I found Fluttershy and Twilight!"

Rarity instantly runs into them, panicked, with heavy breaths she gasps.

"It´s right behind us we need to keep going!"

Applejack helps Fluttershy onto her hooves.

Twilight mumbled "not another of this monsters." All four of them begin to run into the only way they haven´t been yet.

Twilight tries to think of a plan on how to escape when suddenly her thoughts are interrupted by a voice.

"Do you like my fluffy puffy friends?“giggle“ I made them myself, if you like I can make you one of your own, but you need to bring me the materials."

Laughter echoes in her head "WHO ARE YOU!" Twilight yells into the nothingness of thick fog in front of them. The others turn to her.

"Twilight what´s the matter?"

"Do you want to attract these things to us?! Keep quiet!"Rarity has an earnest look on her face.

"Don´t tell me you didn’t hear that voice" Twilight asks nervously.

"What voice" the others responded.

"Twilight honey, I think this place is getting to you." Applejack says while giving Twilight a hug.

"No I didn´t imagine this! It sounded like pinkies voice… but…" Before she can finish her sentence the voice pops back into her head.

"Oh don´t worry Twilight I believe you that you hear crazy pinkie voices in your head" she lets out a manically laugh before she continues speaking.

"How does it feel to be alone Twilight? Everypony hates you, you know that right?"

"No that’s not true!" Twilight shouts.

"Really? Look at them look at your “friends” imagine what they must be thinking right now?"

Twilight looks up and is met with distorted faces of her friends, twitching wildly in an abnormal manner.

"See? They hate your guts so much they look like they bitten into a nice fresh lemon, HAHAHAHAHA but don´t worry I am your friend forever Twilight"

"Twilight come to your senses!" Applejack slaps Twilight.

"What no why do you hate me so much?"Twilight sobs and nearly begins to cry.

"Oh shucks sugar cube why should we hate you?"

"Because you said so just now!" Twilight responds while tears are streaming down her face.

Rarity interferes "Darling you just where running with this strange blank look in your eyes."

"You mean this was just an illusion?" Twilight begins to smile while saying so. Fluttershy cuddles Twilight and whispers to her

"You know our real feelings, we love you and we always will."

Right as the mood lightens up a clapping sound fills the air.

*clap clap clap* "that’s so beautiful I think I begin to cry. Oh I have an idea how about a nice Party? I even invite some of my friends! They are “dying” to meet you."

"You´re threats don´t scare us!" The group shout with newfound bravery.

"In that case I should try harder. Lets play a little game of hide and seek, shall we? You even get a surprise when you find me! Muahahahaha"

As soon as the pinkie like voice finishes it becomes night.

Twilight and Rarity lighten up their horns only to reveal even more of these monsters closing in on them from all directions.

"Oh no this is bad."Fluttershy mutters, when a sudden shockwave followed by a loud bang throws a whole bunch of the monsters into the air.

"Come this way! Fast!" a slightly familiar voice sounds trough the new opening, the mares run to the voice in hope of safety.

"Twilight thank Celestia you are ok."

"That voice, is that…Spike?!"

The little purple dragon runs up to Twilight, feeling so much joy in his tiny heart. Standing behind him is the mysterious pony with his coat and mask on.

"Hunk good to see you’re all right" Twilight said.

"Thanks nice to see you are all safe to, well kinda we should get moving."

Spike swings himself on Twilight´s back and the five ponies start running seeing the monsters behind them getting closer.

Guided through the dark only by the dim shimmer of the unicorns horns they arrive at a building that resembles Sugar Cube Corner in a twisted way.

Upon entering a disgusting smell of rotten flesh and blood fills the air.

The room is decorated with streamers made of dried entrails, colorfully painted skulls sitting on shelves, meat hooks dangling from the ceiling, some of them have pierced chunks of meat on them.

The sight these poor ponies have to witness really isn´t a pleasant one.

On the other side of the room is a wooden door with the words "do not enter" written on it.

"Looks like there’s only one way to go." Twilight says while looking at her friends. Fluttershy looks like she is close to a mental breakdown, as does Rarity. Twilight speaks up to encourage the others.

"We will end this here and now! We will make this thing, whatever it is pay for what it has done to us so far! We will save Pinkie Pie, find Rainbow Dash and get the hay out of here! Together!"

Spike is the first to agree," Yes we can do it!"

then Applejack," Up until now we have overcome any obstacle!"

Rarity looked much healthier now and began to speak." I will make this thing pay for forcing me through this nightmarish place! Let’s buck it right in the face!"

Fluttershy simply nods.

Twilight gazes over to Hunk, even so she can´t see his face she has the feeling he was smiling at her.

The six open the door, which leads downstairs, they begin to walk down.

Upon descending the seemingly endless stairs loud shouts echoe along the narrow space.

"Pinkie this isn´t you, you have to fight it! The others will be here soon and safe us."

"This is Rainbow Dash´s voice!"Twilight says and quickens her pace.

As they arrive at the bottom of the stairs, they are met with a gruesome, sickening sight.

Rainbow Dash is strapped to an iron table having multiple bleeding cuts and bruises, Pinkie Pie is sitting in the middle of the room, her head lowered repeating

"No this is not true you are not me this can´t be." over and over again. In front of her stands another Pinkie Pie but her mane has nothing from the fluffiness of the real Pinkie, instead it´s straight, her coat is a darker shade of pink. She has an insane menacing look in her eyes, her smile, manically. She stares at the new ponies standing at the entrance.

"Hihihi our new guests have finally arrived now the party can get started."

"What have you done to our friends you false Pinkie?!" Twilight shouts at the pink pony.

"Please call me by our real name, Pinkamena Diane Pie is the name, I will carve it into your chests so you won´t forget it hehehe. But first why don´t you all taste some of my cupcakes? They are to die for! Hihihi."

Pinkamena points over to a table made out of skin and bones with 6 cupcakes on top.

"No don´t eat them they are made out of ponies!" Rainbow screams.

"We didn´t intent to." Applejack says to her as she walks to the operation table she stops abruptly as a scalpel is thrown into her direction.

"Not so fast now that you all are gathered here I don’t have to endure this unfunny thing on the floor and the loudmouth over there any longer."She points to Rainbow Dash.

"So Pinkie don´t you have something to tell to your friends?" Pinkamena says while her smirk becomes more of a grin. Pinkie still sobbing answers to her.

"No you are not me not one bit, I nether would do things like this, YOU HEAR ME?! YOU…ARE…NOT…MEEEEE!!!"

With this sudden outburst of emotions Pinkie surprised everyone in the room.

Pinkamena begins to laugh "hahaha yes that’s what I wanted to hear now I just have to kill you all and then I can take your place in the real world wuahahaha."

Pinkamena takes a scalpel from a desk standing beside her and starts walking to the now unconscious Pinkie Pie, as suddenly *Bash* the hind legs of a certain blue pony dashes against the cheek of Pinkamena.

"Ouch that kinda hurt." She looks over to the side from where the hit came from, only to see that Rainbow was freed by her friends. "Well" she says "Don´t you have any manners? You should wait your turn, I have enough time to play with all of you. Though, maybe I should have paid more attention to you guys, hmpf doesn´t matter if you insist I will have fun with you first."

Pinkamena charges at Rainbow, but Applejack interferes and kicks her so hard that Pinkamena hits the wall behind her.

"Really you just making me more angry, let’s make this  fight more fair."

Pinkamena claps her hooves together. Suddenly patched up ponies fall from the ceiling, groaning and howling.

"Behold! My latest creation, I know he´s late to the party but please don´t give him the “cold” shoulder."

A gate on the far end of the room opens and an enormous creature steps out of it. It looks like a tall stallion, but with spiderlike legs, the torso upright, attached to it are four legs in two different colors, the head, too small to fit this body, is bare bone on the one side the other looks rotten with flesh just pressed against it. The creature drags a giant meat hook on a chain along with it.

Twilight gulps. "What to do?"

Hunk yells "I will distract the big one, just focus on Pinkamena, you have to defeat her at all cost!"

Applejack and Rarity are holding off the normal sized  monsters, meanwhile Fluttershy and Rainbow fly around Pinkamena, hitting her every time they pass her so she can´t pick up any sort of weapon.

Hunk jumps around dodging every attack the monster delivers. As for Twilight she concentrates. Focusing all her magical energy into one final blast.  The beam she produces yield such power everybody, even the big monster, is pushed against the walls of the large room.

The dust is settling revealing a still standing Pinkamena right at the spot the beam hit the ground.

"What she´s still standing?" Twilight questioned while gasping for air from exhaustion

All the monsters around are also just standing around not trying to attack.

Hunk gets over to the now conscious, but weak Pinkie Pie and speaks to her.

"You have to accept the dark part of you only then this will end."

Pinkie gives a simple nod and talks to her other self.

"I know you are a part of me, a part I wish I could forget, but I felt like you back when I was just an itty bitty twinkie pinkie, I felt hurt and alone, I wished bad things would happen to other ponies, so in a way you are me. Know what? Let us be friends ok?" Pinkie smiles at her other self and hugs it, on which upon it disintegrates into small glowing dust.

"So is it over?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"Yes for now it is. Let´s get out of here" Hunk responds

"Hey can you hear me?" Luna’s voice questions in an anxious tone.

"Luna can you get us out of here?" Hunk questions back.

"Finally you can hear me, what a relief, yes I will get you out just one second."

A bright light envelopes the ponies and with it a feeling of accomplishment.
