WARNING: A DISTURBING PICTURE WILL BE SHOWN IN THIS CHAPTER

CHAPTER NINETEEN: Nightmare Night

I walked out of Rarity's shop with my costume and headed home. Once I got home, I put on the light brown body cover, much like one of those costumes that go all around your body, and then put on my suit.

“Slenderpony... nice...” I said. I summoned my tentacles, and lifted myself off the ground with them.

I laughed. “Aw yeah!”

I exited the room to see Silvermoon dressed up like a clown while Solar was playing in the middle of the floor with his toys.

“Still can't believe you're going as Slenderman.”

I waved my hoof. “Nuh, uh, uh. I'm Slenderpony!”

“Well, you go and have fun. I'll stay here with Solar and pass out treats.”

I nodded and set off for Ponyville to meet up with the rest of the gang.

When I arrived, I saw Frederic dressed up as The Engineer from Team Fortress 2, Lance was some dude that looked like he belonged to Deus Ex, I could be wrong about that though.

I also saw Zorrow dressed up like some sort of vampire.

“Hey guys!” I said.

“Dorchester? Is that you?” Lance laughed.

“Yup! I'm Slenderpony!”

Frederic rolled his eyes. “Cool.”

I suddenly remembered. “Oh yeah! Where's Vinetion?”

Lance pointed over to the alleyway. “First of all, she changed her mind and was granted some temporary powers from Celestia so she has her powers back. Second... she's also a Slenderpony.”

“Shit man, you could have told me! I could have gone as the monster from SCP-087, or SCP-173...”

Frederic gasped. “The statue? Hell no! Hell. Fucking. No. I played SCP Containment Breach and wasn't able to sleep for weeks! No way in hell am I letting you go as 173!”

I groaned. “Fine... I'll go as 087-B then.”

I blasted the suit off of me, revealing me in my entire tan body suit.

“There.” I said.

Lance chuckled. “All right then.”

I waved my hoof. “Well, off to see how Vinetion's doing!”

I walked down the dark alleyway. I heard hoof steps behind me. I was being watched.

“Stop right there criminal scum!” I yelled, turning around to see Vinetion dressed up like Slenderpony.

“Damn it...” Vinetion groaned.

“Hey, Lance told me something cool awhile ago. I just haven't been able to tell you for a bit.”

Vinetion cocked her head to one side. “Yes?”

I put my mouth close to her ear. Then shot my hoof at her nose.

“BOOP!” I yelled.

…

“Ha ha! I got you! Uh... Vinetion...”

Vinetion took off her face mask to look at me. She... looked... furious...

“DAMN YOU LANCE GREENFIELD!” I roared as Vinetion pounced on me and began to beat me senseless.

When I returned, Lance was laughing so hard when he saw my bruised body. I went up to him, and smacked him on the back of the head as hard as I could with my hoof.

“You fucking douchebag!” I said. “You never told me Vinetion would react that way!”

“I'm so sorry man!” Lance yelled out as he squirmed on his back, laughing. “Okay... maybe I'm not! That was hilarious!”

I kicked him in the side. ("Oooowwwww...") and left him. I walked back home. Not because I was upset, mind you. I wanted to change my suit because mine was all bloody now and filled with thorns.

“Ow, ow, ow, ow...” I groaned.

When I arrived, I didn't bother to knock and just opened the door. Silvermoon gasped.

“Oh my god! Were you mugged?” She asked.

“No, ouch,” I said as Silvermoon began to pick thorns from my body.

A Few Minutes Later...

“Damn Lance told me to boop Vinetion's nose! He didn't even tell me that it pissed her off!” I said.

“You know better then that!” Silvermoon huffed.

I chuckled. “Apparently I don't. I guess I won't be dressing up tonight.”

“But Rarity worked so hard on your costume!”

I sighed. “You're right...”

“Just put the suit and body cover back on.” She said.

“Oh... uh... funny story about the suit.”

“I sort of... Vinetion was also dressed up like Slenderpony so... I destroyed the suit.”

Silvermoon face hoofed. “I will never understand you...” she sighed.

“Got that right.” I said.

I put the body suit back on after Silvermoon did an instant repair spell on it.

“Ah, good as new.” I said smiling. I kissed Silvermoon good-bye and hugged Solar as I went off.

I sighed.

The time has almost come...

Meanwhile...

Annabel looked at Discord. He smiled weakly.

“We'll get out of here, I promise.”

Annabel sighed. “Are you sure?”

Discord nodded. “Of course! Dorchester has never failed us in the past.”

Luce Danneggiato had grown tired of playing his games with Annabel and Discord, so he just put them in a large cage together.

“Yet the prophecy said he wouldn't surive.”

Discord snapped his fingers. “But it didn't say anything but The Shadow, remember?”

Annabel gasped. “You're right!”

“Quiet, you two!” Nightmare barked. “The master doesn't want to be disturbed as he prepares himself! Soon the universe will be his!”

Annabel laughed. “That's what you think you smelly mutt!”

“How dare you! You were never supposed to be what you are anyway!” Nightmare hissed. “You are a wannabe Discord! That's all you have been, and always will be.”

Annabel growled at Nightmare who walked away laughing.

“Screw him!" Discord said.

“I've been thinking Discord... if we are to get out of here alive, our souls will be restored and we'll return to Equestria, right?”

Discord nodded.

“Well... if things do go well... and if we do go back to Equestria...”

Annabel paused.

“Maybe we could... get married and start a family?”

Discord's eyes widened. He put his hand on Annabel's shoulder.

“Of course.” He replied.

Annabel hugged Discord who returned the hug.

“Annabel... I know for a fact, we will return, and this will all be a thing of the past.” Discord stroked Annabel's head.

“You promise?” Annabel asked.

Discord smiled. “Promise.”

Back With Dorchester...

“Dorchester! Come over here, quick!” He said.

I turned around to face Lance, who wasn't in his costume anymore.

“What?” I asked.

“Let's just say a massive horde of all our greatest enemies are coming together to fight us all...”

My eyes widened. “Luce's making a comeback?”

Lance shook his head. “I asked myself the same question...”

“Wait, what?”

“I ran into myself from an alternate dimension. He say's all our greatest enemies will be teaming up to kill us all. I did ask him about Luce Danneggiato though, he said he will still wait until he gets enough power to rise again. So no need to worry about him now.”

I sighed with relief. “Good, what do you need me to do?”

“Join me and the rest to fight them off. My other self did say that Nightmare will be there... I guess Luce's getting desperate. Yet be warned, my other self did say someone named Jeff The Killer would be there and that you should be careful.”

I felt my legs weaken, I partly collapsed on the ground.

“What?” Lance gasped.

“J-Jeff... damn it... why Jeff?”

Lance looked at me with a look of worry and confusion. “So you know him?”

I looked up at Lance and gritted my teeth. “Know him?! Damn it Lance, he traumatized me! My damn uncle would always dress up like that freak and scare the living hell out of me when my parents weren't around!”

“What's so bad about a regular human?”

I shook my head. “You don't realize, do you? He hasn't got a god damn nose! He split is lips up to the head of his cheeks so he could continue to make that same. Damn. Smile!”

Lance shuddered. “That's... horrifying...”

I chuckled nervously, trying to stay calm.

“I'll... I'll be fine... he's not real, after all.”

I forced myself up, still shaking.

“Okay, where should I meet you?” I asked.

Lance pointed over to Ponyville, at the stage. “Meet us at the stage, I need to go and tell the others.”

I nodded my head. “Okay, I'll see you there.”

“See you there.”

Later...

I walked onto the abandon stage with the others. There was a sudden blast, and a large black shield covered most of Canterlot.

“Damn it, we've been tricked!” Lance hissed.

“Well well well...”

I gritted my teeth. “Nightmare... show yourself!”

“With pleasure...”

Nightmare formed. Next to him was a copy of Violent Inferno, Val, Ri-

Wait, what? Richard?!

“Why hello there...” He said, chuckling.

Remember, we changed forms so he doesn't know we're the one who brought him here.

Oh yeah...

I turned around to see a hissing, serpent like pony.

“Say hello to, the leader of The Darkness.” Nightmare smirked.

“What happened to Luce?” Frederic asked.

“Oh, he's taking some... time off. This has been the replacement.”

I saw the bushes behind Nightmare and the rest rustle, and a fillies bloody body was thrown in front of me, it's face was... carved into a smile.

I saw two dark, gleaming eyes.

I felt myself become suddenly light headed as Jeff The Killer slowly walked out of the bushes, a large, blood stained knife in his hand.

“What the fuck... is that?” Peter gasped.

“J-J-J-Jeff....” I stuttered.

“No way he is human...”

I looked at Peter.

“You better fucking believe it. The reason he looks like that is because he had alcohol thrown on him, and was set on fire. He lost his mind, and carved a smile on his face and burnt his eye lids so they would never close.”

Peter shuddered. “Terrible...”

I heard a scratchy chuckle, Jeff had thrown his head back. His wild, greasy, long, tangled black hair waved behind him.

“Cha cha cha cha!” Jeff cackled.

Even is laugh is creepy.

No shit, sherlock.

“Now... if you excuse us... we have some unfinished buisness to take care of.”

The large group ran towards us.

I went head on to face Jeff The Killer, he swung his knife at my face, cutting off a few blades of hair off of my mane before I flew back. I transformed into Xaxas and threw my wing tentacles at him, he held out his knife which suddenly became much larger and speared it towards my face, the blade extended until it almost cut straight through my skull. But I dodged back.

Jeff cackled again and ran towards me.

It was too late, my wing tentacles retreated towards me so I could fly, but Jeff had grabbed me and cut my goatee off with his knife which had returned to normal size.

He looked at me just like he did in the picture...

I gasped for air, Jeff slowly ran his knife through my face until a large, smile shaped cut formed around my mouth.

“That is where I'm going to make you look... just like me...” Jeff whispered.

I summoned my wing tentacles, and pushed him back. I wiped the blood off around my mouth. My horn glowed and I fired a large bolt of magic at Jeff, his knife grew large again and the summoned magic glided off the large shiny side.

The magic beams split into two, and crashed into two nearby buildings which caught on fire. I heard screams as ponies began to run away. Jeff looked to his right to see a scared mare run away with her newborn foal. He pointed his knife ahead of them, which grew so large it blocked their path. Jeff sprinted up, and took the mother and her child.

I was rooted to the spot as I felt Nightmare hold me in place.

“It's too late... we already have you defeated... now watch...” Nightmare hissed.

Jeff smirked, and plunged the knife into the mare's heart, killing her. He threw the body on the ground, and plucked the newborn foal by it's hair.

The newborn foal was wailing loudly as pain scorched through it's head and it was held by it's mane.

Jeff frowned out of annoyance, but the carving on his face still made it look like he was smiling.

He lowered his face towards the crying foal's and whispered loud enough for me to hear him say the chilling words:

“Go to sleep...”

Jeff plunged the knife into the foals face. Splitting the skull, and stabbing the brain. Blood poured from it's head, he forced the knife up and down until the newborns head flew off of the knife, split into two. Blood and pieces of brain covered the large blade of the massive kitchen knife.

Jeff smirked and licked the blood and brain away from the knife, and swallowed it.

I shuddered as Nightmare held me.

Jeff approached me, and wiped the bloody remains on my cheek.

I felt myself being released as Nightmare and Jeff The Killer vanished in a puff of smoke.
