"So Pinkie Pie, how does it feel to be back in the spirit-plain?", Fluttershy asks her as they're walking through a field one day. "Oh, it's fine.", she responds, "I miss all of our other friends back in the living-plain though." "Yeah, I do too.", Fluttershy says, looking at the ground. A tiny lightning strike hits the field, not cloud-lightning, but another kind of lightning, and Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie go to check it out. "What the heck was tha-- Twilight Sparkle?!?", Fluttershy says, surprised. "Ow......... where the hell am I?", Twilight Sparkle asks. "You're in the spirit-plain.", Fluttershy says, "You seem so surprised, how come?", she asks. "Spirit-plain?", Twilight Sparkle mutters. "Yeah!", Pinkie Pie says. "What the hell? When did I die?", she asks. "Obviously about 5 minutes ago.", Fluttershy says. "Will you two help me up already?!?", Twilight Sparkle snaps at Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. "Sure...", they both say. As they help Twilight Sparkle up, more mini-lightning spouts near them, dropping more ponies into the spirit-plain. "What the hell?", Fluttershy says. Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Jamie, and Jennifer shoot up from the tall grass that they were dropped in. "What in the fuck just happened?!?!?", Rainbow Dash yells. "You've been dropped into the spirit-plain.", Fluttershy says quietly. "Spirit-plain?", Rainbow Dash says, "I've heard about this place." "Really?", Apple Jack asks. Realizing how she got here, Rainbow Dash asks, "Ok, I'm here. When, exactly, did I fucking die?" "And yes, Apple Jack.", she responds to Apple Jack's question. Pinkie Pie grabs a chart from outta nowhere and starts reading it. Death Certificate Name: Rainbow Dash Reason for death: Cardiac Arrest Time of death: 11:28 AM. Rainbow Dash twitches, "Are you sure Pinkie Pie? I wasn't even flying this morning!!" "Hmmmmm....... weird.", Fluttershy says, "Looks like we gotta mystery on our hooves!!" Rainbow Dash looks up, "Maybe we can ask some locals around here if they know exactly what the hell happened." Standing near a hill, Fluttershy runs to the top of it and looks over, hoping to see other ghosts around, "I see Light Reaper!", she yells. "Who's Light Reaper?", Apple Jack asks. "We'll explain later.", Pinkie Pie tells her. . . . About 10 minutes of running later, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Jamie, and Jennifer meet up with Light Reaper. "Hey Light Reaper!", Fluttershy says as they come up to the tree that she's leaning against. "Hey you two............wait, you have friends?", she asks with a sly smile. "Yes.", Pinkie Pie says. "Yeah.", Fluttershy says, "They popped here for no reason!". "Me especially!", Rainbow Dash says. "Do you know why us 5 are here?", Twilight Sparkle asks. "......................", Light Reaper hesitates, "You are here...............because I brought you here!!!!!!!!!", she yells with a sudden echo to her voice, like a higher power would. The group skitters back in fear. "What the hell?!?", Apple Jack yells. Light Reaper lets out a loud maniacal laugh and a red & black explosion engulfs her. "Oh no..........", Pinkie Pie says, "She's switching sides!!!!" Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie get up and run like bats outta hell, but not without snatching the rest up first. "What the fuck was that?!?", Rainbow Dash asks. "That", Fluttershy begins, "was Dark Reaper's transformation." "Why the hell does she want us?!?", Apple Jack asks. "I don't know!", Fluttershy responds. Before anyone could ask another question, Dark Reaper lands right in front of them. Everyone keeps from running into her. Just in time too, because they stopped right in front of her hooves. Jennifer and Jamie look at her in a state of fear, "Why did you want us?", they both ask. "Because I need all of your spirit energy, that's why!", Dark Reaper says with an evil smile on her face. "Huh?", Apple Jack mutters. "Thou doesn't know what spirit energy is?", Dark Reaper asks, looking straight at Apple Jack, "Well then let me give you a short explanation then!" "Spirit energy is the aura of a ghost, it's power, it's strength, it's life force that keeps it in the spirit-plain!", Dark Reaper says, "If one ghost, or spirit if you will, gets enough spirit energy from other dissipating or destroyed ghosts, they could become very strong! A force to be reckoned with!", Dark Reaper continues, "And I plan on doing such a feat! And Fluttershy's going to help me do it!!!", she laughs, pointing her hoof at Fluttershy. "What?!?!?!?", Fluttershy yelps, "I'm going to do no such thing!" "Sure you are!", Dark Reaper says as she turns into a mist. Fluttershy starts backing up away from the mist, tears rolling down her face. "Run guys, RUN!!!", she yells at the group. The 6 turn around and start running. Chapter 3 - Fluttershy's Darkest HourChapter 3: Fluttershy's Darkest Hour Fluttershy's backed up against a tree as Dark Reaper's smoke encases her. Fluttershy is now possessed and being controlled by Dark Reaper. Rarity, who had died when Sapphire Blood and Rainbow Dash were fighting over her, walks out of some brush just in time to see Fluttershy. "Oh, hey Flu-", Rarity is cut off by Fluttershy slams her hoof right through her chest. "What are you doing Fluttershy!?", Rarity asks as she struggles to get Possessed Fluttershy's hoof out of her chest. "My name's not Fluttershy anymore.............", Dark Reaper says quietly. "Th-the-then who are y-you?...........", Rarity asks, trailing off. "The name's Dark Reaper. Live it. Learn it!", she says with an evil smile. Dark Reaper rips Fluttershy's hoof out of Rarity's chest. Rarity starts shaking, "Release Fluttershy now you..........you.......you demon!", she yells. Dark Reaper snorts, "No way!" Rarity grits her teeth and gathers every last bit of energy her spirit has in it and then punches Dark Reaper. It barely did anything, it just pushed Dark Reaper backwards. Dark Reaper rolls her eyes and winds up for a punch and punches Rarity as hard as she can. 'WHAP!' Surprisingly, the punch only sends Rarity into a nearby tree. But, in the end, Dark Reaper (Possessed Fluttershy) gets what she wanted. Rarity crashes to the ground and dissolves into a pile of gray dust, which is quickly blown away by the spirit plain's constant breeze of wind. Possessed Fluttershy smiles, showing her sharp teeth, and looks at a watch-like meter that Dark Reaper had had on. The meter red: Spirit count:5/20 Spirit energy:250/1000 Possessed Fluttershy chuckled, "Hm hm hmm........ only 1/4th of the way there!" Fluttershy's Shadow Part 3 (continuing from chapter 3) The next day. . . . Fluttershy wakes up after 12 hours of being unconscious. "What happened?", she asks herself as she sees the trees surrounding her burnt to cinders, "Maybe I should try to find the others again." After walking through the hollowed-out oaks and birches around her for about 10 minutes, she finds a folded piece of paper. She sifts it out of the ash and opens it up. (Ghosts can manipulate physical objects in an environment) The note reads: "Dear Fluttershy, It's Dark Reaper. You proved to be useful after all. You got me close enough to destroy two of your friends, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, the two most innocent out of you 6. It seems that you body could only support a possessing being for a short time, saying you blacked out shortly after "you" killed Twilight Sparkle. I'd like to thank you again for letting me take over your body for this feat. > Thank you for all you deadly help, Dark Reaper Fluttershy gets so upset that "she" actually killed two of her best friends' spirits, she throws the note down and spits on it. "I can't believe I let that bitch take control of me!", Fluttershy says to herself. While she's in the middle of her problem, Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash poke their heads out from some brush a bit a way's from Fluttershy. They quickly withdraw when Fluttershy shoots her eyes in their direction, only for it to be a false alarm. "Ok.", Fluttershy says, "She says I killed Rarity and Twilight Sparkle's spirits, I should see something around here pointing to their death." Realizing that its probably been hours since that incident, she says, "There's no use trying to find them. The dust has probably blown away by now." Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash sneak over to where Fluttershy was, "Hey!", they shout. Fluttershy looks up at them, "Oh hi you two.", she says with a sad look on her face. "You ok?", Apple Jack asks. "No!", Fluttershy shouts, "Does it look like I'm ok?!? I just got done being possessed and now I'm learning that I killed two of my best friends!" Apple Jack frowns, "Well. You didn't kill Twilight Sparkle and Rarity. She killed them.", Apple Jack tells her. Rainbow Dash butts in, "By the way, you, me, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack are the only 4 ponies left in the group.", she says, "Jennie and Jamie got dusted about 30 minutes ago." "Ruthless!", Fluttershy cries out, "She killed children spirits too?!?" "Fluttershy...." "Insolent!" "Fluttershy!" "Barbaric!" "FLUTTERSHY!!!!", Rainbow Dash yells this time. "What?", Fluttershy says, withdrawing away from Rainbow Dash. "They are both 20 now......... They've been 20 for about 3 months now!", Rainbow Dash says, rolling her eyes. "Oh.", Fluttershy says, "At least they weren't fillys anymore!" "Yeah.", Rainbow Dash says. Chapter 5 - The Final BattleChapter 5:The final battle "You won't have to wait long!", a malevolent voice says from the sky. Rainbow Dash puts the sacred jewel around her neck and moves near her friends. "Back off, guys", she tells the other 3, "I've got this." Dark Reaper smiles her evil, little smile, "Good, I've been wanting to take you out for a long time............", Dark Reaper says, trailing off at the end. "Help me.............", a small, girl-like voice comes from nowhere. Rainbow Dash's ears perk up, "That's Light Reaper, Starbeam's good spirit!", she says to herself. Not paying attention to the moment, Dark Reaper sends Rainbow Dash, head-long, into some trees, which break on impact. "Oh you're going to wish you had never done that!", Rainbow Dash snarls as she picks herself out of the grinded-up tree. Dark Reaper just snickers, "Bring it!", she says. "You can do it!", Light Reaper says, cheering Rainbow Dash on. Rainbow Dash charges at Dark Reaper, bowling through her. Dark Reaper is sent hurdling towards a tree, but, miraculously, she lands on the tree's side, hooves first, and kicks off the tree, landing ever-so-gracefully on the ground. Rainbow Dash growls, "You're not going to take me down so easily!" "Watch me.", Dark Reaper says as she teleports towards Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash stops preparing for her attack, trying to find out where Dark Reaper had gone. Dark Reaper reappears right next to Rainbow Dash and shoots a right hook then an uppercut that sends her careening towards the group. Apple Jack catches Rainbow Dash and sets her down. " I think that Fluttershy is the only one of us that can defeat her.", Rainbow Dash tells Apple Jack. Rainbow Dash hands Fluttershy the amulet and gets up, hoping to stretch out any injury she had sustained. Fluttershy hesitates. "W-What do I do?", she asked, "I've never been in a true life or death fight before!" "You don't have to get in a tussle, all we need you to do is to get the Blood Stone around Dark Reaper's neck and you are done! Let the amulet work its magic!", rainbow Dash tells her. "..........Done yet?", Dark Reaper asks, annoyed. As soon as Fluttershy had layed eyes on Dark Reaper again, a sudden feeling of aggression came upon her. She bears her teeth and disappears, then reappears behind Dark Reaper. "Time to die, evil bitch!", Fluttershy yells as she puts Dark Reaper in a choke hold. Although trying her best to get out, Fluttershy seemed to have the upper hand in this fight! Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack were just in awe. Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash both say, "Daymn!!!" It takes a good 4 minutes to put Dark Reaper into unconsciousness, but, Fluttershy did it! When she layed Dark Reaper down, she slipped the amulet, the Blood Stone, around Dark Reaper's neck. In a matter of seconds, Dark Reaper's demon wings recede, revealing the arch-angel wings the group knew all too well of as to be Light Reaper's. Dark Reaper's red stripes in her mane and tail turn a heavenly color of light blue, her fur changes to a bright white, and her eyes turn from blood red to a shiny, dark blue. And Dark Reaper's silver bracelets turned to gold. Light Reaper opens her eyes, "Hi you guys.", she says. "Hey.", they all say, "You ok? "Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing a little duct tape can't fix.", she tells them. "Could you, by any chance, bring our friends back to life?", Rainbow Dash asks, remembering about her nieces, Twilight, and Rarity. "Yeah, but help me up first.", she says in her soft voice. Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie help Light Reaper up. "Ok guys, as I do this, you might want to stay back.", she warns them. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, and Rainbow Dash back away as Light Reaper closes her eyes. After about 30 seconds, a blue, pulsating orb of light starts forming around her unicorn horn. The ball charges up for about 3 minutes, then moves to the middle of the area where everyone is. Light Reaper mumbles something and the blue ball explodes in a very bright blue. Everyone opens their eyes from trying to avoid debris and see Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Jennifer, and Jamie back, just as they were before being "dusted" by Dark Reaper. Rainbow Dash just loses it when she sees Rarity. Rainbow Dash runs over to her, crying as she tells Rarity, "I'm sorry about killing you! You don't know how hard it's been knowing that I killed one of my best friends--", Rarity cuts her off. "You didn't kill me Rainbow Dash. That bitch Sapphire Blood did, about 4 years ago.", Rarity tells her. "I know, but if my hooves hadn't slipped, you would've still been alive, at least for a little bit longer.......", Rainbow Dash tells her. Rarity looks up towards Fluttershy and mouths "I feel bad for her". Then Rarity tells her, "It's ok, Rainbow Dash." "Thank you Rarity.", Rainbow Dash says, "It's so nice to hear that you can forgive me after all these years." "I know.", Rarity tells her, "I can forgive for pretty much anything." Rainbow Dash smiles and hugs Rarity. . . . After everything has settled down, Light Reaper has something to say. "Hey, guys.", she says, "I'd like y'all to call me Starbeam.", she says as the pulls her pink overjacket and her purple glasses from a backpack she kept with her. Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash's mouths just drop wide open when they see Starbeam start to take back her original colors: Blue and Green. Twilight Sparkle twitches, in her mind, she asks herself, "Why the fuck am I acting this way?!? I don't like girls!!!", but the more that she told herself this, the more she liked Starbeam. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, didn't mind at all. "Holy Fuck!!! Uhhhh....", she says to herself. Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash say to Starbeam at the same time, "You look pretty darn cute in pink!!!" Starbeam blushes, "Well, at least you two don't hide your feelings.", she says as she stares at Apple Jack. Apple Jack sees at Starbeam looking at her, turns away, and starts whistling like "I'm not in any of this!" Rainbow Dash walks over to Apple Jack and snickers. "She was staring at you. First sign tells me she likes you.", she says with a smug grin on her face. Apple Jack's cheeks start turning red and it was getting hard for her to whistle anymore. As her signs of nervousness started to pile against her, everyone started staring at her. Apple Jack started to fidget a bit as she turns around to see everyone's eyes glued to her, even Starbeam's. She looks at everyone multiple times, sweating more and more every time her eyes pass Starbeam. "OK!!!!!", Apple Jack shouts, "Before I say this, will everyone stop fucking staring at me?!? It's weird!" Everyone trains their eyes to something else, except Starbeam, which is exactly what she wanted. Full attention of the subject at hand. Rainbow Dash was also still looking at her. Apple Jack starts shaking again as she stares right into Starbeam's blue eyes. "I.................", Apple Jack hesitates. "You can do it!!", Rainbow Dash tells her. Apple Jack smiles and looks back at Starbeam, who was standing just an intentionally as she had been. "I love you, Starbeam.", Apple Jack says, rather quick-like. Rainbow Dash smiles, "What?!? I didn't hear you!!!!", she shouts. Apple Jack grits her teeth at Rainbow Dash, who quiets up. "Did you hear me Starbeam?", she asks. "To be honest, no.", Starbeam replied. Apple Jack sighs. She looks at everyone once more, then looks back at Starbeam. "I said, I love you, Starbeam.", Apple Jack says in a louder voice. "A little louder.............", Rainbow Dash whispers to Apple Jack. Apple Jack rares up to punch Rainbow Dash, and she backs off. Apple Jack thinks about her next move for a minute or so, then looks straight at Starbeam. "I LOVE YOU!!!", Apple Jack squeals as she runs up to Starbeam and kisses her. Starbeam is quite surprised by this, but she smiles back and starts blushing. "I love you too, Apple Jack.", she tells her. Apple Jack smiles at her. "Sorry for the sudden outburst. I couldn't think of anything better to do." "It's ok.", Starbeam tells her. THE END!!! prolouge - Chapter 1: The MeetingFluttershy's Shadow Prologue This story takes place about 3 months after Fluttershy's encounter with a spirit. A very dark spirit by the name of Dark Reaper. Dark Reaper is one of Ponyville's most secluded secrets, one even said to be worse than Sapphire Blood. The said spirit was said to have resurrected Fluttershy from her grave, only to turn her into his most loyal slave, to do his every whim, no matter how gruesome it was. Legend has it that it wasn't Rainbow Dash who killed Sapphire Blood in her sleep, but it was the evil Fluttershy who did so. Chapter 1: The meeting "Hi, I am the narrator.", said an unknown voice, "And I am here to tell you the tale of Dark Reaper. Of how she conned a spirit to do his bidding, of how the spirit reacted once she knew she was being tricked, of how she was finally removed from the spirit plain of Ponyville", the voice continued, "...........My name..........is Fluttershy.", the voice says as it takes off it's hood, "And this is my story!" One day........ One sad, gray-skied day, Fluttershy's spirit was trotting her way through some of the fields that she took care of many animals in. Fluttershy sighs, "I wish I was still alive.", she says as she looks down. She lays down on the grass, staring at a rabbit that she once knew. It was happily hopping it's way through some long grass, when, a fox jumps up suddenly, trying to eat the rabbit. Fluttershy's face turns white with panic. But before the fox could even swipe at the rabbit, a flash of pink kicked it to the side. "How dare you!", a voice cries out from the other side of the grass, "Trying to hurt an innocent animal!", the voice yells as the fox withdraws away, whimpering. Fluttershy knew that voice, it was Pinkie Pie's! Fluttershy hopped up and went to go say hi to her since they were both in the spirit plain of Ponyville. But she realized something. You can't physically attack anything in the spirit plain. Fluttershy thinks to herself, "How is Pinkie Pie alive? She was killed by Sapphire Blood!" She walks over near Pinkie and notices that she's a more solid pink than she was in the spirit plain. "Maybe she can hear me!", Fluttershy deduces, "Hey Pinkie!", she yells. Pinkie Pie hears Fluttershy's voice, "Fluttershy?", she says, tearing up, "Where are you?" "She heard me!", Fluttershy thinks, "Over here! Right next to you!", she yells. "Oh no.", Pinkie Pie whispers, "I'm hearing things again!", Pinkie Pie says, "I'm hearing my best friend's voice, even though she's dead!", she says, crying. Fluttershy looks puzzled, "Damn, she's still torn up because I'm dead.", she says to herself, "No Pinkie! I'm still here, in the spirit plain!", Fluttershy yells. Pinkie's ears perk up, "Fluttershy? Is that really you?", she asks. "Yes!", Fluttershy says, "I'm right in front of you now!", she says as she reaches her ghostly hoof towards Pinkie's. Pinkie Pie feels Fluttershy's hoof brush against hers. Because of this, she starts crying again. "I miss you, Fluttershy!", Pinkie cries out. Fluttershy starts crying as well, "I miss you too, Pinkie Pie!" The two cry for about 10 minutes. As she's wiping her tears away, Fluttershy asks Pinkie Pie how she's alive. "Oh, I'm alive because this girl I met in the spirit plain said he'd bring me back to life if I did him a favor.", Pinkie Pie says. "Oh.", Fluttershy responds, "What was the favor?" "To say some oath or something.......", Pinkie Pie says, dropping her words at the end. "What's wrong?", Fluttershy asks, noticing her friend's sudden lack of interest. "N-n-nothing.", Pinkie Pie says. "It seems like you're losing control of your body or something!", Fluttershy says, starting to worry about her friend. "I think so too!", Pinkie Pie says, twitching. Pinkie Pie looks down and Fluttershy just stares at her, wondering what's going to happen next. A couple of moments later. . . . "Pi-Pinkie Pie?", Fluttershy studders, "A-aa-are you ok?" Pinkie Pie's head shoots out from the position it had been in for a good 3 minutes, "Yes, Ghostshy!", Pinkie Pie says quickly, "I haven't felt this good in my life!" "Ghostshy?", Fluttershy says, puzzled, "My name's Fluttershy, Pinkie." "I know.", Pinkie Pie says, "But you're a ghost, a spirit, so I came up with a new nickname for you!" "Oh.", Fluttershy says, "Hey, what's wrong with your eyes, Pinkie Pie?" "My name's not Pinkie Pie anymore!", she shouts, "My name's Dark Reaper now!" "Dark Reaper?", Fluttershy says, getting scared. Pinkie Pie, or Dark Reaper, as she wanted to be called, says, "I really don't think you'd like my eyes if you saw them right now." "Come on!", Fluttershy says, "Lemme see!" "Fine.", Dark Reaper says, "As you wish......." Dark Reaper opens her eyes. She had made Pinkie Pie's pupils blood red in color. Dark Reaper puts on an evil smile, showing two razor-sharp incisor teeth, which shined in the sunlight, which looked blood-red in color on her teeth. Fluttershy screams and runs in the opposite direction, only to have Dark Reaper follow on hot pursuit. "How the hell could that happen to Pinkie Pie?!?", Fluttershy asks herself. Seeming as if she could hear everything, Dark Reaper yells, "She took the oath, Fluttershy! That's why!", she yells, "You're next!" "Oh hell!", Fluttershy says as she sees Dark Reaper gaining on her. Fluttershy starts to run faster, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Fluttershy looks behind her to see Pinkie Pie's possessed body changing dimensions! "How the hell are you-", Fluttershy stops herself mid-question. She knew why. With Dark Reaper now in the ghost-plain, it was possible for her to injure Fluttershy. With Dark Reaper hot on her trail, Fluttershy tried losing her in some dense brush. But that only seemed to make matters worse. As Fluttershy made her way to the other side of the brush, Pinkie Pie's possessed body (Dark Reaper) slammed to the ground right in front of her, causing the ground around her to creak. Fluttershy pulled to an immediate stop, not wanting to crash right into Dark Reaper. Fluttershy looks at Dark Reaper and asks, "Why are you hurting my best friend like this?" "Because she took the oath.", Dark Reaper responds. "Any other reason why?", Fluttershy asks with a cross look on her face. "Because I needed a living body to possess, so that I could reach the living-plain.", Dark Reaper says. "Well........ can you please release her?", Fluttershy asks, "You got what you wanted." Dark Reaper sighs, "With one condition I can release Pinkie Pie back to the spirit-plain." "Anything.", Fluttershy says, desperately. "Ok.", Dark Reaper precedes, "My only wish is that you be my friend. I've never had a friend before, that's why I am the way you see me now.", Dark Reaper says, "All black with demon wings.", she says, dropping her head. Fluttershy hesitates, "Why me?", she asks gently. "Because.", Dark Reaper snaps, "You're right here, why can't I ask you first?" "Oh.", Fluttershy realizes, "I guess..........", Fluttershy says, perplexed. "Splendid!!!", Dark Reaper yells, "Hold on, I'll be right back!" Dark Reaper releases Pinkie Pie back into the spirit plain and runs off behind some trees. Fluttershy helps Pinkie Pie up. "Where am I?", Pinkie Pie asks. "Back in the spirit-plain.", Fluttershy says in conjunction with a soft-sounding voice that neither remember hearing earlier. Fluttershy looks up to find a light blue and white unicorn looking at her and Pinkie Pie. "Who are you?", Fluttershy asks. "My name, is Light Reaper.", she says, "Dark Reaper's alter-ego. Her "nicer" side, if you will." "Oh.", Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie both say. "Yeah.", Light Reaper says as she turns towards Fluttershy, "Thank you for saying you'd be my friend.", she tells Fluttershy. "Oh, no problem!", Fluttershy says, unknowing of the danger she's put herself, as well as Ponyville, into. Chapter 4- The Unknown ProphecyChapter 4:An unknown prophecy is revealed A couple of days later. . . . One day, Ghost Rainbow Dash looks out towards the sun one day and says a prayer. Then, Pinkie Pie walks up and says hi to her. "Hey Pinkie.", Rainbow Dash replies. . . . . . While the two are conversing, a strange-looking, straggly ghost hobbled over to them. "Hey!", the ghost shouts, "I might have some information for you!" Rainbow looks puzzled, "Information?" "Yes!", the old ghost says, "I might have some information on how to defeat that dark sage, Dark Reaper." Realizing this could be their break, Rainbow Dash says, "Ok, dude. You got information, tell away!" "Well..............", the old ghost says, "I know you youngins' don't like long stories, so I'll keep my chatter to a minimum." "Ok.", Rainbow Dash says. "Well, a couple of years ago, a missionary group came through here in the living plain. They were attacked viciously by an unseen force, a force by the name of Dark Reaper. Knowing her myself, I consider her to be bi-polar. A very mean, very nasty dark side, and a very nice, very hyper light side, which y'all know of as Light Reaper. You see, the original name for Dark Reaper was Starbeam. Starbeam was mercilessly killed in an act of rage. This turned her spirit from nice to flat-out evil. That's why she's the way she is today.", the old ghost explains, "The only way to change her back to her nice side is to get this jewel around her neck before she reaches her final stage.", the old ghost says as he pulls out a long, dangly chain with something bluish-green attached to it. "This", he says triumphantly, "is the Blood Stone!" "What is the Blood Stone made of?", Rainbow Dash asks. "Crystallized bits of Sapphire Blood's blood.", he says without hesitation, "From before she turned evil." "Wow.", Rainbow Dash says as the old ghost hands her the Blood Stone. "Take good care of it!", the old ghost says, "It's very fragile!" I'll try!", Rainbow Dash replies. 5 minutes later. . . . "Hey guys!", Rainbow Dash says, "I've got a way to bring Dark Reaper's good side out!" "How?", Apple Jack asks. "An emblem by the name of 'The Blood Stone'!", Rainbow Dash replies. "Blood Stone, eh?", Fluttershy says, "I've heard of it. I only thought it was legend though!" "Yeah, that's because it was only in the Spirit-plain.", Rainbow Dash tells her. "Oh.", Fluttershy says. "Now, all we gotta do is confront Dark Reaper and take her down!", Rainbow Dash shouts with enjoyment.
Chapter 2: Fluttershy's DangerChapter 2: Fluttershy's Danger Two days later. . . . "So Pinkie Pie, how does it feel to be back in the spirit-plain?", Fluttershy asks her as they're walking through a field one day. "Oh, it's fine.", she responds, "I miss all of our other friends back in the living-plain though." "Yeah, I do too.", Fluttershy says, looking at the ground. A tiny lightning strike hits the field, not cloud-lightning, but another kind of lightning, and Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie go to check it out. "What the heck was tha-- Twilight Sparkle?!?", Fluttershy says, surprised. "Ow......... where the hell am I?", Twilight Sparkle asks. "You're in the spirit-plain.", Fluttershy says, "You seem so surprised, how come?", she asks. "Spirit-plain?", Twilight Sparkle mutters. "Yeah!", Pinkie Pie says. "What the hell? When did I die?", she asks. "Obviously about 5 minutes ago.", Fluttershy says. "Will you two help me up already?!?", Twilight Sparkle snaps at Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. "Sure...", they both say. As they help Twilight Sparkle up, more mini-lightning spouts near them, dropping more ponies into the spirit-plain. "What the hell?", Fluttershy says. Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Jamie, and Jennifer shoot up from the tall grass that they were dropped in. "What in the fuck just happened?!?!?", Rainbow Dash yells. "You've been dropped into the spirit-plain.", Fluttershy says quietly. "Spirit-plain?", Rainbow Dash says, "I've heard about this place." "Really?", Apple Jack asks. Realizing how she got here, Rainbow Dash asks, "Ok, I'm here. When, exactly, did I fucking die?" "And yes, Apple Jack.", she responds to Apple Jack's question. Pinkie Pie grabs a chart from outta nowhere and starts reading it. Death Certificate Name: Rainbow Dash Reason for death: Cardiac Arrest Time of death: 11:28 AM. Rainbow Dash twitches, "Are you sure Pinkie Pie? I wasn't even flying this morning!!" "Hmmmmm....... weird.", Fluttershy says, "Looks like we gotta mystery on our hooves!!" Rainbow Dash looks up, "Maybe we can ask some locals around here if they know exactly what the hell happened." Standing near a hill, Fluttershy runs to the top of it and looks over, hoping to see other ghosts around, "I see Light Reaper!", she yells. "Who's Light Reaper?", Apple Jack asks. "We'll explain later.", Pinkie Pie tells her. . . . About 10 minutes of running later, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Jamie, and Jennifer meet up with Light Reaper. "Hey Light Reaper!", Fluttershy says as they come up to the tree that she's leaning against. "Hey you two............wait, you have friends?", she asks with a sly smile. "Yes.", Pinkie Pie says. "Yeah.", Fluttershy says, "They popped here for no reason!". "Me especially!", Rainbow Dash says. "Do you know why us 5 are here?", Twilight Sparkle asks. "......................", Light Reaper hesitates, "You are here...............because I brought you here!!!!!!!!!", she yells with a sudden echo to her voice, like a higher power would. The group skitters back in fear. "What the hell?!?", Apple Jack yells. Light Reaper lets out a loud maniacal laugh and a red & black explosion engulfs her. "Oh no..........", Pinkie Pie says, "She's switching sides!!!!" Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie get up and run like bats outta hell, but not without snatching the rest up first. "What the fuck was that?!?", Rainbow Dash asks. "That", Fluttershy begins, "was Dark Reaper's transformation." "Why the hell does she want us?!?", Apple Jack asks. "I don't know!", Fluttershy responds. Before anyone could ask another question, Dark Reaper lands right in front of them. Everyone keeps from running into her. Just in time too, because they stopped right in front of her hooves. Jennifer and Jamie look at her in a state of fear, "Why did you want us?", they both ask. "Because I need all of your spirit energy, that's why!", Dark Reaper says with an evil smile on her face. "Huh?", Apple Jack mutters. "Thou doesn't know what spirit energy is?", Dark Reaper asks, looking straight at Apple Jack, "Well then let me give you a short explanation then!" "Spirit energy is the aura of a ghost, it's power, it's strength, it's life force that keeps it in the spirit-plain!", Dark Reaper says, "If one ghost, or spirit if you will, gets enough spirit energy from other dissipating or destroyed ghosts, they could become very strong! A force to be reckoned with!", Dark Reaper continues, "And I plan on doing such a feat! And Fluttershy's going to help me do it!!!", she laughs, pointing her hoof at Fluttershy. "What?!?!?!?", Fluttershy yelps, "I'm going to do no such thing!" "Sure you are!", Dark Reaper says as she turns into a mist. Fluttershy starts backing up away from the mist, tears rolling down her face. "Run guys, RUN!!!", she yells at the group. The 6 turn around and start running.
Chapter 3 - Fluttershy's Darkest HourChapter 3: Fluttershy's Darkest Hour Fluttershy's backed up against a tree as Dark Reaper's smoke encases her. Fluttershy is now possessed and being controlled by Dark Reaper. Rarity, who had died when Sapphire Blood and Rainbow Dash were fighting over her, walks out of some brush just in time to see Fluttershy. "Oh, hey Flu-", Rarity is cut off by Fluttershy slams her hoof right through her chest. "What are you doing Fluttershy!?", Rarity asks as she struggles to get Possessed Fluttershy's hoof out of her chest. "My name's not Fluttershy anymore.............", Dark Reaper says quietly. "Th-the-then who are y-you?...........", Rarity asks, trailing off. "The name's Dark Reaper. Live it. Learn it!", she says with an evil smile. Dark Reaper rips Fluttershy's hoof out of Rarity's chest. Rarity starts shaking, "Release Fluttershy now you..........you.......you demon!", she yells. Dark Reaper snorts, "No way!" Rarity grits her teeth and gathers every last bit of energy her spirit has in it and then punches Dark Reaper. It barely did anything, it just pushed Dark Reaper backwards. Dark Reaper rolls her eyes and winds up for a punch and punches Rarity as hard as she can. 'WHAP!' Surprisingly, the punch only sends Rarity into a nearby tree. But, in the end, Dark Reaper (Possessed Fluttershy) gets what she wanted. Rarity crashes to the ground and dissolves into a pile of gray dust, which is quickly blown away by the spirit plain's constant breeze of wind. Possessed Fluttershy smiles, showing her sharp teeth, and looks at a watch-like meter that Dark Reaper had had on. The meter red: Spirit count:5/20 Spirit energy:250/1000 Possessed Fluttershy chuckled, "Hm hm hmm........ only 1/4th of the way there!" Fluttershy's Shadow Part 3 (continuing from chapter 3) The next day. . . . Fluttershy wakes up after 12 hours of being unconscious. "What happened?", she asks herself as she sees the trees surrounding her burnt to cinders, "Maybe I should try to find the others again." After walking through the hollowed-out oaks and birches around her for about 10 minutes, she finds a folded piece of paper. She sifts it out of the ash and opens it up. (Ghosts can manipulate physical objects in an environment) The note reads: "Dear Fluttershy, It's Dark Reaper. You proved to be useful after all. You got me close enough to destroy two of your friends, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle, the two most innocent out of you 6. It seems that you body could only support a possessing being for a short time, saying you blacked out shortly after "you" killed Twilight Sparkle. I'd like to thank you again for letting me take over your body for this feat. > Thank you for all you deadly help, Dark Reaper Fluttershy gets so upset that "she" actually killed two of her best friends' spirits, she throws the note down and spits on it. "I can't believe I let that bitch take control of me!", Fluttershy says to herself. While she's in the middle of her problem, Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash poke their heads out from some brush a bit a way's from Fluttershy. They quickly withdraw when Fluttershy shoots her eyes in their direction, only for it to be a false alarm. "Ok.", Fluttershy says, "She says I killed Rarity and Twilight Sparkle's spirits, I should see something around here pointing to their death." Realizing that its probably been hours since that incident, she says, "There's no use trying to find them. The dust has probably blown away by now." Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash sneak over to where Fluttershy was, "Hey!", they shout. Fluttershy looks up at them, "Oh hi you two.", she says with a sad look on her face. "You ok?", Apple Jack asks. "No!", Fluttershy shouts, "Does it look like I'm ok?!? I just got done being possessed and now I'm learning that I killed two of my best friends!" Apple Jack frowns, "Well. You didn't kill Twilight Sparkle and Rarity. She killed them.", Apple Jack tells her. Rainbow Dash butts in, "By the way, you, me, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack are the only 4 ponies left in the group.", she says, "Jennie and Jamie got dusted about 30 minutes ago." "Ruthless!", Fluttershy cries out, "She killed children spirits too?!?" "Fluttershy...." "Insolent!" "Fluttershy!" "Barbaric!" "FLUTTERSHY!!!!", Rainbow Dash yells this time. "What?", Fluttershy says, withdrawing away from Rainbow Dash. "They are both 20 now......... They've been 20 for about 3 months now!", Rainbow Dash says, rolling her eyes. "Oh.", Fluttershy says, "At least they weren't fillys anymore!" "Yeah.", Rainbow Dash says.
Chapter 5 - The Final BattleChapter 5:The final battle "You won't have to wait long!", a malevolent voice says from the sky. Rainbow Dash puts the sacred jewel around her neck and moves near her friends. "Back off, guys", she tells the other 3, "I've got this." Dark Reaper smiles her evil, little smile, "Good, I've been wanting to take you out for a long time............", Dark Reaper says, trailing off at the end. "Help me.............", a small, girl-like voice comes from nowhere. Rainbow Dash's ears perk up, "That's Light Reaper, Starbeam's good spirit!", she says to herself. Not paying attention to the moment, Dark Reaper sends Rainbow Dash, head-long, into some trees, which break on impact. "Oh you're going to wish you had never done that!", Rainbow Dash snarls as she picks herself out of the grinded-up tree. Dark Reaper just snickers, "Bring it!", she says. "You can do it!", Light Reaper says, cheering Rainbow Dash on. Rainbow Dash charges at Dark Reaper, bowling through her. Dark Reaper is sent hurdling towards a tree, but, miraculously, she lands on the tree's side, hooves first, and kicks off the tree, landing ever-so-gracefully on the ground. Rainbow Dash growls, "You're not going to take me down so easily!" "Watch me.", Dark Reaper says as she teleports towards Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash stops preparing for her attack, trying to find out where Dark Reaper had gone. Dark Reaper reappears right next to Rainbow Dash and shoots a right hook then an uppercut that sends her careening towards the group. Apple Jack catches Rainbow Dash and sets her down. " I think that Fluttershy is the only one of us that can defeat her.", Rainbow Dash tells Apple Jack. Rainbow Dash hands Fluttershy the amulet and gets up, hoping to stretch out any injury she had sustained. Fluttershy hesitates. "W-What do I do?", she asked, "I've never been in a true life or death fight before!" "You don't have to get in a tussle, all we need you to do is to get the Blood Stone around Dark Reaper's neck and you are done! Let the amulet work its magic!", rainbow Dash tells her. "..........Done yet?", Dark Reaper asks, annoyed. As soon as Fluttershy had layed eyes on Dark Reaper again, a sudden feeling of aggression came upon her. She bears her teeth and disappears, then reappears behind Dark Reaper. "Time to die, evil bitch!", Fluttershy yells as she puts Dark Reaper in a choke hold. Although trying her best to get out, Fluttershy seemed to have the upper hand in this fight! Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack were just in awe. Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash both say, "Daymn!!!" It takes a good 4 minutes to put Dark Reaper into unconsciousness, but, Fluttershy did it! When she layed Dark Reaper down, she slipped the amulet, the Blood Stone, around Dark Reaper's neck. In a matter of seconds, Dark Reaper's demon wings recede, revealing the arch-angel wings the group knew all too well of as to be Light Reaper's. Dark Reaper's red stripes in her mane and tail turn a heavenly color of light blue, her fur changes to a bright white, and her eyes turn from blood red to a shiny, dark blue. And Dark Reaper's silver bracelets turned to gold. Light Reaper opens her eyes, "Hi you guys.", she says. "Hey.", they all say, "You ok? "Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing a little duct tape can't fix.", she tells them. "Could you, by any chance, bring our friends back to life?", Rainbow Dash asks, remembering about her nieces, Twilight, and Rarity. "Yeah, but help me up first.", she says in her soft voice. Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie help Light Reaper up. "Ok guys, as I do this, you might want to stay back.", she warns them. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, and Rainbow Dash back away as Light Reaper closes her eyes. After about 30 seconds, a blue, pulsating orb of light starts forming around her unicorn horn. The ball charges up for about 3 minutes, then moves to the middle of the area where everyone is. Light Reaper mumbles something and the blue ball explodes in a very bright blue. Everyone opens their eyes from trying to avoid debris and see Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Jennifer, and Jamie back, just as they were before being "dusted" by Dark Reaper. Rainbow Dash just loses it when she sees Rarity. Rainbow Dash runs over to her, crying as she tells Rarity, "I'm sorry about killing you! You don't know how hard it's been knowing that I killed one of my best friends--", Rarity cuts her off. "You didn't kill me Rainbow Dash. That bitch Sapphire Blood did, about 4 years ago.", Rarity tells her. "I know, but if my hooves hadn't slipped, you would've still been alive, at least for a little bit longer.......", Rainbow Dash tells her. Rarity looks up towards Fluttershy and mouths "I feel bad for her". Then Rarity tells her, "It's ok, Rainbow Dash." "Thank you Rarity.", Rainbow Dash says, "It's so nice to hear that you can forgive me after all these years." "I know.", Rarity tells her, "I can forgive for pretty much anything." Rainbow Dash smiles and hugs Rarity. . . . After everything has settled down, Light Reaper has something to say. "Hey, guys.", she says, "I'd like y'all to call me Starbeam.", she says as the pulls her pink overjacket and her purple glasses from a backpack she kept with her. Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash's mouths just drop wide open when they see Starbeam start to take back her original colors: Blue and Green. Twilight Sparkle twitches, in her mind, she asks herself, "Why the fuck am I acting this way?!? I don't like girls!!!", but the more that she told herself this, the more she liked Starbeam. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, didn't mind at all. "Holy Fuck!!! Uhhhh....", she says to herself. Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash say to Starbeam at the same time, "You look pretty darn cute in pink!!!" Starbeam blushes, "Well, at least you two don't hide your feelings.", she says as she stares at Apple Jack. Apple Jack sees at Starbeam looking at her, turns away, and starts whistling like "I'm not in any of this!" Rainbow Dash walks over to Apple Jack and snickers. "She was staring at you. First sign tells me she likes you.", she says with a smug grin on her face. Apple Jack's cheeks start turning red and it was getting hard for her to whistle anymore. As her signs of nervousness started to pile against her, everyone started staring at her. Apple Jack started to fidget a bit as she turns around to see everyone's eyes glued to her, even Starbeam's. She looks at everyone multiple times, sweating more and more every time her eyes pass Starbeam. "OK!!!!!", Apple Jack shouts, "Before I say this, will everyone stop fucking staring at me?!? It's weird!" Everyone trains their eyes to something else, except Starbeam, which is exactly what she wanted. Full attention of the subject at hand. Rainbow Dash was also still looking at her. Apple Jack starts shaking again as she stares right into Starbeam's blue eyes. "I.................", Apple Jack hesitates. "You can do it!!", Rainbow Dash tells her. Apple Jack smiles and looks back at Starbeam, who was standing just an intentionally as she had been. "I love you, Starbeam.", Apple Jack says, rather quick-like. Rainbow Dash smiles, "What?!? I didn't hear you!!!!", she shouts. Apple Jack grits her teeth at Rainbow Dash, who quiets up. "Did you hear me Starbeam?", she asks. "To be honest, no.", Starbeam replied. Apple Jack sighs. She looks at everyone once more, then looks back at Starbeam. "I said, I love you, Starbeam.", Apple Jack says in a louder voice. "A little louder.............", Rainbow Dash whispers to Apple Jack. Apple Jack rares up to punch Rainbow Dash, and she backs off. Apple Jack thinks about her next move for a minute or so, then looks straight at Starbeam. "I LOVE YOU!!!", Apple Jack squeals as she runs up to Starbeam and kisses her. Starbeam is quite surprised by this, but she smiles back and starts blushing. "I love you too, Apple Jack.", she tells her. Apple Jack smiles at her. "Sorry for the sudden outburst. I couldn't think of anything better to do." "It's ok.", Starbeam tells her. THE END!!!
prolouge - Chapter 1: The MeetingFluttershy's Shadow Prologue This story takes place about 3 months after Fluttershy's encounter with a spirit. A very dark spirit by the name of Dark Reaper. Dark Reaper is one of Ponyville's most secluded secrets, one even said to be worse than Sapphire Blood. The said spirit was said to have resurrected Fluttershy from her grave, only to turn her into his most loyal slave, to do his every whim, no matter how gruesome it was. Legend has it that it wasn't Rainbow Dash who killed Sapphire Blood in her sleep, but it was the evil Fluttershy who did so. Chapter 1: The meeting "Hi, I am the narrator.", said an unknown voice, "And I am here to tell you the tale of Dark Reaper. Of how she conned a spirit to do his bidding, of how the spirit reacted once she knew she was being tricked, of how she was finally removed from the spirit plain of Ponyville", the voice continued, "...........My name..........is Fluttershy.", the voice says as it takes off it's hood, "And this is my story!" One day........ One sad, gray-skied day, Fluttershy's spirit was trotting her way through some of the fields that she took care of many animals in. Fluttershy sighs, "I wish I was still alive.", she says as she looks down. She lays down on the grass, staring at a rabbit that she once knew. It was happily hopping it's way through some long grass, when, a fox jumps up suddenly, trying to eat the rabbit. Fluttershy's face turns white with panic. But before the fox could even swipe at the rabbit, a flash of pink kicked it to the side. "How dare you!", a voice cries out from the other side of the grass, "Trying to hurt an innocent animal!", the voice yells as the fox withdraws away, whimpering. Fluttershy knew that voice, it was Pinkie Pie's! Fluttershy hopped up and went to go say hi to her since they were both in the spirit plain of Ponyville. But she realized something. You can't physically attack anything in the spirit plain. Fluttershy thinks to herself, "How is Pinkie Pie alive? She was killed by Sapphire Blood!" She walks over near Pinkie and notices that she's a more solid pink than she was in the spirit plain. "Maybe she can hear me!", Fluttershy deduces, "Hey Pinkie!", she yells. Pinkie Pie hears Fluttershy's voice, "Fluttershy?", she says, tearing up, "Where are you?" "She heard me!", Fluttershy thinks, "Over here! Right next to you!", she yells. "Oh no.", Pinkie Pie whispers, "I'm hearing things again!", Pinkie Pie says, "I'm hearing my best friend's voice, even though she's dead!", she says, crying. Fluttershy looks puzzled, "Damn, she's still torn up because I'm dead.", she says to herself, "No Pinkie! I'm still here, in the spirit plain!", Fluttershy yells. Pinkie's ears perk up, "Fluttershy? Is that really you?", she asks. "Yes!", Fluttershy says, "I'm right in front of you now!", she says as she reaches her ghostly hoof towards Pinkie's. Pinkie Pie feels Fluttershy's hoof brush against hers. Because of this, she starts crying again. "I miss you, Fluttershy!", Pinkie cries out. Fluttershy starts crying as well, "I miss you too, Pinkie Pie!" The two cry for about 10 minutes. As she's wiping her tears away, Fluttershy asks Pinkie Pie how she's alive. "Oh, I'm alive because this girl I met in the spirit plain said he'd bring me back to life if I did him a favor.", Pinkie Pie says. "Oh.", Fluttershy responds, "What was the favor?" "To say some oath or something.......", Pinkie Pie says, dropping her words at the end. "What's wrong?", Fluttershy asks, noticing her friend's sudden lack of interest. "N-n-nothing.", Pinkie Pie says. "It seems like you're losing control of your body or something!", Fluttershy says, starting to worry about her friend. "I think so too!", Pinkie Pie says, twitching. Pinkie Pie looks down and Fluttershy just stares at her, wondering what's going to happen next. A couple of moments later. . . . "Pi-Pinkie Pie?", Fluttershy studders, "A-aa-are you ok?" Pinkie Pie's head shoots out from the position it had been in for a good 3 minutes, "Yes, Ghostshy!", Pinkie Pie says quickly, "I haven't felt this good in my life!" "Ghostshy?", Fluttershy says, puzzled, "My name's Fluttershy, Pinkie." "I know.", Pinkie Pie says, "But you're a ghost, a spirit, so I came up with a new nickname for you!" "Oh.", Fluttershy says, "Hey, what's wrong with your eyes, Pinkie Pie?" "My name's not Pinkie Pie anymore!", she shouts, "My name's Dark Reaper now!" "Dark Reaper?", Fluttershy says, getting scared. Pinkie Pie, or Dark Reaper, as she wanted to be called, says, "I really don't think you'd like my eyes if you saw them right now." "Come on!", Fluttershy says, "Lemme see!" "Fine.", Dark Reaper says, "As you wish......." Dark Reaper opens her eyes. She had made Pinkie Pie's pupils blood red in color. Dark Reaper puts on an evil smile, showing two razor-sharp incisor teeth, which shined in the sunlight, which looked blood-red in color on her teeth. Fluttershy screams and runs in the opposite direction, only to have Dark Reaper follow on hot pursuit. "How the hell could that happen to Pinkie Pie?!?", Fluttershy asks herself. Seeming as if she could hear everything, Dark Reaper yells, "She took the oath, Fluttershy! That's why!", she yells, "You're next!" "Oh hell!", Fluttershy says as she sees Dark Reaper gaining on her. Fluttershy starts to run faster, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Fluttershy looks behind her to see Pinkie Pie's possessed body changing dimensions! "How the hell are you-", Fluttershy stops herself mid-question. She knew why. With Dark Reaper now in the ghost-plain, it was possible for her to injure Fluttershy. With Dark Reaper hot on her trail, Fluttershy tried losing her in some dense brush. But that only seemed to make matters worse. As Fluttershy made her way to the other side of the brush, Pinkie Pie's possessed body (Dark Reaper) slammed to the ground right in front of her, causing the ground around her to creak. Fluttershy pulled to an immediate stop, not wanting to crash right into Dark Reaper. Fluttershy looks at Dark Reaper and asks, "Why are you hurting my best friend like this?" "Because she took the oath.", Dark Reaper responds. "Any other reason why?", Fluttershy asks with a cross look on her face. "Because I needed a living body to possess, so that I could reach the living-plain.", Dark Reaper says. "Well........ can you please release her?", Fluttershy asks, "You got what you wanted." Dark Reaper sighs, "With one condition I can release Pinkie Pie back to the spirit-plain." "Anything.", Fluttershy says, desperately. "Ok.", Dark Reaper precedes, "My only wish is that you be my friend. I've never had a friend before, that's why I am the way you see me now.", Dark Reaper says, "All black with demon wings.", she says, dropping her head. Fluttershy hesitates, "Why me?", she asks gently. "Because.", Dark Reaper snaps, "You're right here, why can't I ask you first?" "Oh.", Fluttershy realizes, "I guess..........", Fluttershy says, perplexed. "Splendid!!!", Dark Reaper yells, "Hold on, I'll be right back!" Dark Reaper releases Pinkie Pie back into the spirit plain and runs off behind some trees. Fluttershy helps Pinkie Pie up. "Where am I?", Pinkie Pie asks. "Back in the spirit-plain.", Fluttershy says in conjunction with a soft-sounding voice that neither remember hearing earlier. Fluttershy looks up to find a light blue and white unicorn looking at her and Pinkie Pie. "Who are you?", Fluttershy asks. "My name, is Light Reaper.", she says, "Dark Reaper's alter-ego. Her "nicer" side, if you will." "Oh.", Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie both say. "Yeah.", Light Reaper says as she turns towards Fluttershy, "Thank you for saying you'd be my friend.", she tells Fluttershy. "Oh, no problem!", Fluttershy says, unknowing of the danger she's put herself, as well as Ponyville, into.
Chapter 4- The Unknown ProphecyChapter 4:An unknown prophecy is revealed A couple of days later. . . . One day, Ghost Rainbow Dash looks out towards the sun one day and says a prayer. Then, Pinkie Pie walks up and says hi to her. "Hey Pinkie.", Rainbow Dash replies. . . . . . While the two are conversing, a strange-looking, straggly ghost hobbled over to them. "Hey!", the ghost shouts, "I might have some information for you!" Rainbow looks puzzled, "Information?" "Yes!", the old ghost says, "I might have some information on how to defeat that dark sage, Dark Reaper." Realizing this could be their break, Rainbow Dash says, "Ok, dude. You got information, tell away!" "Well..............", the old ghost says, "I know you youngins' don't like long stories, so I'll keep my chatter to a minimum." "Ok.", Rainbow Dash says. "Well, a couple of years ago, a missionary group came through here in the living plain. They were attacked viciously by an unseen force, a force by the name of Dark Reaper. Knowing her myself, I consider her to be bi-polar. A very mean, very nasty dark side, and a very nice, very hyper light side, which y'all know of as Light Reaper. You see, the original name for Dark Reaper was Starbeam. Starbeam was mercilessly killed in an act of rage. This turned her spirit from nice to flat-out evil. That's why she's the way she is today.", the old ghost explains, "The only way to change her back to her nice side is to get this jewel around her neck before she reaches her final stage.", the old ghost says as he pulls out a long, dangly chain with something bluish-green attached to it. "This", he says triumphantly, "is the Blood Stone!" "What is the Blood Stone made of?", Rainbow Dash asks. "Crystallized bits of Sapphire Blood's blood.", he says without hesitation, "From before she turned evil." "Wow.", Rainbow Dash says as the old ghost hands her the Blood Stone. "Take good care of it!", the old ghost says, "It's very fragile!" I'll try!", Rainbow Dash replies. 5 minutes later. . . . "Hey guys!", Rainbow Dash says, "I've got a way to bring Dark Reaper's good side out!" "How?", Apple Jack asks. "An emblem by the name of 'The Blood Stone'!", Rainbow Dash replies. "Blood Stone, eh?", Fluttershy says, "I've heard of it. I only thought it was legend though!" "Yeah, that's because it was only in the Spirit-plain.", Rainbow Dash tells her. "Oh.", Fluttershy says. "Now, all we gotta do is confront Dark Reaper and take her down!", Rainbow Dash shouts with enjoyment.
