Personies

The five ponies finding themselves in an eerie forest like area.

It is dark and quiet, only the bright moon hovering above their heads illuminates the surroundings.

"Luna here, can you hear me?"

Applejack answers, "Yep we can hear you."

"I sense a strong presence near you, but I can pin it down exactly, so just be careful when you proceed."

They start walking along a slender dirt road. The woods remind of the Everfree Forest. The further they go the darker it becomes.

Rarity ignites her horn,"Hunk you are a unicorn too, so help us with some light here."

Hunk does has he is told and his horn also begins to glow. When a sudden voice discomforts the ponies.

"Buh-hu afraid of the dark? What are you, six years old? Pathetic little ponies."

Rainbow is cowering,"Fluttershy is that you? Cut that and just come out ok?" She speaks in a shaky voice.

"What´s the matter “Rainbow-Crash”?"- She laughs self-satisfied -"I won´t come out, I´m fed up with you always telling me what to do, while you think "Oh little Fluttershy never complains, she would do anything for us, she is so dump." "You know what´s dump? Your faces!"

"Oh boy, this was kinda mean, but at least she isn´t attacking us directly."

"Don´t jinx it Dashie." Pinkie says while turning around.

"Hey don´t you also feel a bit, strange?" Rarity asks the others.

"Well duh, we are in a creepy dark forest, of course it feels strange."Pinkie responds.

"No I mean like someone or something is watching us."

Hunk looks around, "Luna do you can sense something?"

"The presence from before seems to be closing in on you but I still cannot say for certain what it is."

"Ok inform us as soon as you notice a change."

"Understood."

Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Hunk keep walking along.

Hunk asks, "Pinkie now that we are in the other world, how do you feel? I mean is there any change compared to the normal world?"

"Now that you mention it, no not really."

"Not even a little bit?"

"Nope."

"How can that be? Was I wrong all along?" Hunk mumbles to himself.

Hunk looks behind him."Ahem Pinkie?"

"Yes?"

"Where are the others?"

Pinkie also turns around. "WHAT?!"

Hunk who becomes extremely nervous looks around. "No no no no this is bad, Luna can you hear me? Luna? Hello?!"

Pinkie tries to comfort him. "Don´t overreact so much Hunkie, I bet their fine."

"Yeah I guess you’re right they can look after themselves, they are some strong independent

Mares."

Right as Hunk is about to thank Pinkie a long, thin, black tentacle comes out of the dark with an incredible speed.

"Pinkie watch out!"

The tentacle nearly reaches Pinkie when a sudden bright glow emerges from her body. It repels the attacker which returns back into the darkness of the woods.

"Ui that felt funny" Pinkie giggles

Hunk, overly excited, "Wow that was great! And it proofs my theory!" He jumps up and down "I was right I was right all along! Haha take this sister I knew it would work!"

"Hunk are you feeling alright?" Pinkie asks with slight concern.

"Yes I do, indeed I feel better than I ever felt before, but you are right back to work."

Fluttershys taunting voice emerges from the blackness surrounding them.

"Oh you think this will stop my servant? You don´t even know what you meek, worthless lowlifes are up against! Your little friends are already mine. What makes you think you two can beat me? You will wander around in darkness for all eternity!"

With an arrogant laughter the voice vanishes as fast as it appeared.

A light starts to shine from the distance.

"Hunk, Pinkie can you hear me?"

"Luna? Yes we hear you."

"I couldn´t reach you for a moment, glad to hear you are ok; I did however locate the others, I project my power onto their location, hope you can see it."

"Yes we can see it, thanks Luna you are a big help."

"You´re welcome."

The two run towards the light and arrive at a small cottage.

"Don´t you think it´s strange that she didn´t try to prevent us from getting here?" Hunk asks suspecting something might just jump at them.

"Maybe she thinks it would be nice to reunite us with our friends before killing us." Pinkie smiles.

"Wow that definitely raised my spirits." Hunk says sarcastically.

"Anyway let us enter."

The door opens smoothly and a regal décor is revealed, wall-hangings along the wide hallway, neatly arranged paintings of Fluttershy as princess are well lit by golden candlesticks.

"Uhi it´s much bigger on the inside." Pinkie says impressed.

At the end of the hallway is a set of double doors painted in red and gold.

As Hunk and Pinkie approach them they open by themselves.

"Ah Celestia´s pawns I started to wonder if you will even make it here." Fluttershy says sitting on a throne matching the colors of the door, sitting beside her is the real Fluttershy starring blank into nothing.

Pinkie yells at her. "Hey you big meany where are our friends?"

Fluttershy answers arrogant. "That’s not how you address a princess, you filthy earthpony, but in my vast grace I shall grant you your wish to see them again, my loyal subject will bring you to them. Slendermane come here!"

A tall white pony with no facial features, no hair, wearing a black suit with a red tie on a white shirt, appears before Hunk and Pinkie.

"Hold on a second you just let us go to our friends? And we shouldn´t assume this is a trap? Come on, what´s the catch?" Hunk says.

While doing so a feeling of nausea and a strong headache overcome him, along with dizziness.

"Pinkie are you feeling this too?" He´s stammering. He looks over to see Pinkie already lies on the ground.

Short after he passes out too.

Upon awakening Hunk finds himself trapped in a tiny prison cell, his hind leg is cuffed to the wall with a solid iron chain. He looks trough the prison bars and sees he is in a round structure with many cells.

"Hunk are you finally awake"- Rarity asks- "I´m here in the cell right beside yours."

She waves her hoof through the bars.

"By Celestia, is everypony imprisoned here?"

A collective "Yes" follows in respond.

Hunk tries to use his magic but to no avail.

Rainbow says sardonic, "Great idea genius, don´t you think Rarity tried this as soon as we were brought here?"

"Dash!" Aj shouts "It´s not his fault we are stuck here."

"Then who´s is it?" Dash replied.

The sound of approaching footsteps silences the imprisoned ponies.

Fluttershy comes into the round structure, she drags a bunny on a leash behind.

"I bet you are all wondering what I´m going to do with you. You know this disobedient bunny just didn´t want to follow my orders although all I asked of him was to kill his friends. And for this high treason he deserves nothing but death!”- As soon as she finished speaking, she spins him around, slams him on the ground and crushes his little chest with one of her hoofs.-"Now there are two options concerning you, first you could be good prisoners and just starve to death like I planned for you, or you could try to escape but then I will do things much worse to you, than I did to this bunny."

With a maniacal laugh she leaves the room.

"What in tarnation was that?" Applejack asks no one in particular.

Rarity stays calm, "I think we all agree that we have better things to do than starving to death, so anypony has a plan?"

All of them trying to think of a possible escape plan.

"So we can´t use magic, but Pinkie you can try to use your persony power, I saw you do it in the forest so maybe it works now as well." Hunk attempts to hide is desperation.

"Ok I´ll try." Pinkie concentrates like she never did before and there it is! The bright glow surrounds her.

A sudden raging fire melts down all the bars, the rest of the group holds their front legs in front of their faces as the fire charges towards them.

Rainbow Dash dares to take a glimpse and realizes, "Hey guys the fire, it just goes around us."

Praises for Pinkie are following, "That was awesome Pinkie!", "Simply magnificent", "Good one Pinkie Pie".

The moment of joy is ended as Slendermane teleports into the room right in front of the only just freed ponies.

As soon as he arrived the unbearable headache and dizziness overcomes the heroes.

And as fast as it has come, it vanished. A dim pink glow covers them. They all look over to Pinkie who is still focusing.

"Hay yeah Pinkie conjures a protective spell, now I show him what "Painbow Death" can do!"

Rainbow Dash flies with a vast speed in Slendermanes direction, whereupon he teleports himself to the other side of Rainbow, she crashes into the wall.

Slendermane exposes his tentacles eight in number. He slashes with them in all directions in an attempt to get a hold on someone, but the protective shell withstands his attacks.

With their now working magic Hunk and Rarity holding the tentacles of Slendermane in place, so Rainbow, who recovered from her crash, and Aj can kick them off.

Now only four of his tentacles remain he breaks free and lashes with them at Rarity, the combined force of all four arms is strong enough to break through the protection spell.

Rarity gets thrown back, but Aj is able to cut off two of the remaining slender arms. Hunk holds the last two in place and Rainbow uses this opportunity to break them.

Even so Slendermane has no face you can clearly see his anger. He teleports himself away.

Rainbow responds to his disappearance with a loud, "Yes! We are so awesome!"

Pinkie Pie is completely exhausted. "Just go on without me, you have to save Fluttershy, I will follow short after."

The others nod at her and start running up the staircase.

While running up the stairs they hear Fluttershy talking to her other self.

"It is true, sometimes I wish everyone would just listen to me and do what I tell them, but I am happy the way I am. My friends are always there for me and I love taking care of the critters."

The other Fluttershy responds in an confused tone.

"No this isn´t supposed to end this way! No pony should possess the inner strength to resist us without help!"

"So maybe I am the first but it does not change the way I feel about you, my friends, or anyone else."

"Fine you win."

The others reach the main hall just in time to witness how the other Fluttershy disintegrates.

"You did this all by yourself ?!" Rainbow shouts slightly disappointed.

"After I saw you all coming for me I had no doubt that you really care about me." Fluttershy gives them a kind smile.

Luna´s voice appears, "I assume you are finished then?"

"Yes we are." Says Fluttershy.

Pinkie nearly reaches the top of the stairs when all of them are teleported out of the other world.
