I'm not a fan of anything scary...except for this time of year. Halloween, or 'Nightmare Night' is today. For the past few weeks I have been learning my form changing for a certain costume idea. Everypony is gonna be frightened tonight with what I have planned! I can't WAIT, especially since I ACTUALLY got Fluttershy to go!

Well...not scary frightened, more like...well yeah, scared frightened, but in the Nightmare Moon way. I might even freak out my marefriend. I hope she won’t be too mad with my scare tactic I have planned. I may be stuck with that uncomfortable couch for a while I’m certain…but that will be worth it, to scare the WHOLE town…except for the mayor of course…or I might scare her even…all she knows is I am gonna appear on the stage, in an attempt to scare everypony…but with what I have planned, I just may scare her as well.

I could hear Twilight getting ready in the bedroom, while Spike and I were downstairs, where spike was in a…Barney-esque dragon costume, which I couldn’t help but snerk at his choice in costume. After a while Twilight came down in a wizard hat and cape adorned with small bells, and wearing a long white beard. “Twilight…who are you supposed to be?”

Twilight looked at me in an angry way, before teleporting in front of me, pressing her nose against mine. “I’m Starswirl the Bearded! It took forever just to MAKE this costume!”

I raised my hooves sitting back, looking at her in shock. “whoa WHOA! I didn’t say it wasn’t good, I just asked who! I don’t know any historical figureheads…well not how they looked, so I didn’t know!”

I saw Twilight step back and blush looking to the side sadly. “sorry..I forgot you weren’t originally a pony…I hope you can forgive me for snapping at you…”

I just rolled my eyes and nuzzled her. “Twi, I’m not mad. I would be surprised if you and the other girls DIDN’T forget…” I saw Twilight smile a bit, and nod. “you and Spike go ahead to the celebration, I’ll meet you there.”

I saw Spike head to the door to answer a knocking at the door, as Twilight headed over, which I snuck back upstairs to get everything ready, as well as the supplies I would need for what I am going to do. I got everything together and set sigils on paper in my blood to change the form changing spells output to become what I needed and waited for when the mayor said she was gonna start her ‘Nightmare Night Introduction’ speech. So now…it’s the waiting game.

3rd Person POV | Stage | 15 minutes later

Zecora had just walked off the stage beside the mayor, as all the ponies were about to walk off, until a deep evil laugh rung out as black flames swirled on the stage. The Mane 6 quickly ran up as many of the ponies, the zebra, and the baby dragon backed away as the black flames seemed to stop, freezing as the laugh echoed out from the flames. Once the laugh stopped the flames formed an equine body that was a head taller than Celestia, and had a horn that seemed like two, that swirled around one another, looking very much like the ‘Marker’ from ‘Dead Space’. A pair of eyes opened from inside the black flames, as a pair of wings shot out blasting the black fire into the sky.

The ponies gasped as a black Alicorn stood on the stage with its red feathered wings extended with a mane and tail that moved and flowed like a raging fire. The alicorn looked around as his eyes flashed red and he grinned maniacally showing super sharp teeth, as its horn had many runic sigils glow red all over its horn(s).

The Alicorn spoke in a deep, echoey demonic voice. “ah, it has been so long since I have been free from that…confined prison he called a mind…” the alicorn looked at Twilight and the other 5 as red mist like energy lifted Twilight up to the alicorn, and held the others in place. “ahh…such power…such potential…” the alicorn slid a hoof along her cheek gently as she tried to pull away. “fight all you want…because you won’t be soon…”

Twilight looked at him with fear, and concern visible in her eyes. “w-why….why do you say that…?”

The alicorn looked past Twilight seeing worried faces on the purple unicorn’s friends, as he smirked at her. “because….you will be my first…thrall…” he spoke his last word in a long breathed manner and in a way to show his thin, lizard like tongue, as his pupils became slits like a lizard.

Twilight seemed to tense up and start shaking as many of the ponies were too scared to move or look up. The alicorn even saw the mayor looking genuinely scared, before he looked at Twilight as the sigils on his horn started to glow brighter as the mist like aura on Twilight got brighter. The other’s of the Mane 6 kept calling out ‘no’, and ‘stop’ until the black fiery alicorn kissed Twilight.

Blaze’s POV

I decided to break the kiss with Twilight, and chuckle, until I was laughing, falling back into a sitting position and holding my stomach. “OH CELESTIA, YOU SHOULD ALL SEE YOUR FACES!” I laughed louder as my voice slowly changed back into my own and the aura on Twilight and the others faded, letting them go.

Soon after I felt something tackle me, which made my eyes snap open. I noticed I was looking into a pair of reddish pink eyes, and heard Dash’s voice. “how did you DO that blaze?!?! That was AWESOME!”

I just shrugged and smirked, as I floated Dash off me and got up. I looked at Twilight who had a flabbergasted look on her face. “Twilight? Babe?”

I saw Twilight blush and shake her head. “I-I’m fine….Blaze, we are gonna have a talk later…” I saw her approach me looking annoyed, which worried me, until she gave me a quick kiss, and smiled a bit. “but that was a good scare, I will admit that.”

I called it…couch for a while…ah well, the looks on everypony’s faces was just perfect. I jumped off the stage and followed the Twilight, who followed Zecora and the crowd of colts and fillies. We reached a statue of Nightmare Moon which made me chest burn, making me place my hoof on my chest panting slightly, remembering the pain from that spike.

I felt something touch my shoulder, which made me look over to see Twilight looking concerned. I felt the pain subside, and smiled a bit letting her know I was fine. I felt the wind start swirling around and looked up to see a carriage being pulled by two pegasi….with bat wings.

I wish I had bat wings…or…not, since everypony seems to be scared of them. The carriage soon landed near us, and the door opened. A pony came out, and lowered their hood to reveal Luna. I wonder how my ‘alicorn form’ will make her react. Hopefully not…threateningly.

When she started speaking, she had a loud echoing voice, like a loud yell, that made the winds flow with her words, but yet to me sounded like a shrieking at a high pitch which made me fold my ears forward, fall and place my hooves over my ears roughly trying to keep myself from yelling in pain. The ringing, and the pain was so bad, my eyes were wide open, and I was certain they were dilated, and glazed, cause my vision was blurry for anything further than a foot away.

After it stopped and the ringing calmed down and rolled onto my side panting, and I could barely hear Twilight’s voice calling my name. I looked up and saw Twilight and Luna looking at me worried, and…my blonde mane was in my vision…did that…whatever it was disrupt my focus so much, I reverted to my pegasus self? Note to self: NEVER piss Luna off…

“BLAZE, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!” I flinched at Twilight’s loud voice, and rubbed my left ear with my hoof.

“yes, yes I hear you…ow…I’m fine, I’m just disoriented from that…thing Luna did…” I slowly got up and shook my head as I changed to my alicorn form for my Nightmare Night costume, and looked at Luna who seemed to step back in shock.

“Ser Blaze, when…how…I do not understand…” I couldn’t help but chuckle at Luna’s currently shocked look and reaction.

I took a pose and smirked as I could feel my fiery mane moving, as I bit the side of my tongue focusing a small stream flow out the side of my mouth and through my coat onto my ‘marker’ styled horn to make the runic sigils glow. “like what you see Luna?”

Luna blushed and looked to the side. “uhh, well…it is just surprising to see you…as an alicorn…that is all…”

I winked at Twilight to let her know I was messing with the Princess of the night, and walked closer to Luna. “then…would you mind explaining…the blushing?”

She seemed to look in any direction except me, which made me laugh. “alright, Blaze, enough messing with the princess…” I looked over at Twilight and nodded.

I saw Luna turn to the crowd, as Pinkie and the foals, seemed to jump at a clap of thunder, which made Luna look…creepy for a moment. I heard screaming of ‘Nightmare Moon’ and Ms.Hyper-Pink, and the foals all ran off. That was…I can’t even think of a word for how bad that was…

I then got a cold chill down my spine, and looked over to see…Death? Why is her here? “hey, Twi? I’ll…be right back….” I heard her say ‘ok’ as she walked in the direction Luna had gone. I quickly hurried deeper into the trees where Death was.

Many would probably call me crazy, or insane for walking over to Death himself, like I was doing, but I know he doesn’t appear in sight for no reason…and that chill…he was getting my attention, but for what…?

I reached an area deep in the forest, that had a big clearing, but it looked like it was…torn apart. I hear hoofsteps walk to my side, and looked over at Death who was looking at the destroyed trees, and plants. “do you see this Blaze…?” I nodded yet shuddered at how dry and raspy his voice was. “this is the result of an elemental…much like you…he does not have…perfect control of his powers…but he has had them for years…yet you seem to have control over yours, although you hold much back, in fear of harming others…he lets his out at its peak, but he does not know how to control that level yet…you need to find him. What is coming, you need as many elementals as you can find…I will help as much as I can, but I am not allowed to toil with you…mortal beings very much.”

“so, can you tell what element did this kind of destruction? I understand I am fire…but its dry here, so it wasn’t water…the ground isn’t cracked, and no dirt or rubble around, so it was not terra…light would not do this I am sure, and darkness…there is the sense of something…bad” I looked at the destroyed trees, and shattered boulders, as well as seeing the ground, laid almost unaffected. “but it isn’t that much, so darkness wasn’t what destroyed these…you think it was air…wind?”

I heard Death sigh. “yes…and every elemental holds light and dark inside them…only when 4 are together, can those elements be used at the highest caliber…yet…you hold half the darkness, and most of the light…most peculiar, yet…understandable…fire always lead the others, and was the keystone to creating land, as well as not many live today” I saw Death look over at me “you need to be ready…find the other elementals, and prepare for what I wrought…only you elementals can delay it…and” he looked at the land again”…Blaze…you may not know…but you are not truly a human…you lived as one yes, but you are a pony…” his voice sounded distant and fading with his next four words. “at least in blood…” I looked over to see a black mist fading away.

So this wind element…is like me…? wait…did he say I was actually a PONY?! That I AM a pony?!, not just in form, but in BLOOD?!?! Okay…that is too much…I need to…process that. I bit under my hoof to make a small trickle of blood, as I focused on the trees, as they floated back together, and mended themselves. When that was done I staggered, feeling light headed. “I used…WAY too much today…” I reverted to my pegasus self, and headed back towards Ponyville.

As I passed the statue, I saw the foals dropping their candy in front of the statue, but…wait…the Nightmare Moon on the stone pedestal…isn’t a statue! I hurried over and saw the foals run. When I slid to a stop, the Nightmare Moon I was looking at turned to Luna as Twilight walked over…did I…miss something?

“Twilight Sparkle…I do not believe that worked out the way you had planned.” I looked at my marefriend confused as she said ‘just wait’.

I then saw a colt, with a brown colored circle around his left eye in his coat, and he wore a bandana, an eye patch on his right eye, and clothes that screamed ‘pirate', pulled on Luna's mane lightly. “pwincess woona? I know you ended nightmare night forevah, but….could you come back and scare us again next year?” I just felt a sting in my heart, at how cute that colt was…wow, this world has REALLY softened my heart...from a gilded heart, to a heart like play-doh…

After Luna agreed, and changed her mind on ending Nightmare Night, the colt called Luna his ‘favowite pwincess’ and ran back and the foals cheered happily. Dear Celestia the FEELS in this world…it could tear the burliest manliest man, on earth into a chest grasping, crier I bet…

We all head back to town where everpony was having fun, and enjoying the festivities. Even Luna was smiling, and laughing. When Luna left, and everything died down, me and Twilight headed back to the library. Spike was on her back, slightly kicking, and groaning. That’s what he gets for eating two big bags of candy in an hour.

It has been a few days since Nightmare Night, and I have been looking for the other elemental. I have NO idea where he could be, but my guess is that he is somewhere in the forest. Zecora has seen damage on trees that seem unnatural, going into the bog. So that is my next destination.

I hurried to the bog, and looked around, staying silent. From what Twilight has told me, there is supposed to be a Hydra living here…best be careful. I then stepped on a muddy spot and slipped falling with a loud yell. “yeah…that was REALLY silent…” I carefully got up and shook off what mud was on me, and kept walking. “okay wind…where are you…?”

I heard a few ‘plop’ sounds behind me, and looked back to see a big orange body. I slowly looked up to see multiple heads staring at me hungrily. I looked over to see a blur of orange, right before I felt its tail ram into me, and send me flying into a tree hard. I carefully got up, and looked at the hydra, as my vision was blurry on my left half, as it slowly became red, which I closed it after that.

I brought a hoof up over my right eye and felt blood, and an open gash, which stung to even touch even an inch from it. I went to open my wings but felt my left wing was numb. I looked to see it hanging limply, and it wouldn’t move. It didn’t hurt, so it just needed to be popped back into place, but I have no idea how. Well…this makes things harder…I cant change forms with a bone out of place…or I wont risk it, who knows what will happen…

I felt myself get grabbed and lifted up in the hydra’s claw as it started squeezing me, which MADE my wing hurt. I just closed my eyes, not wanting to see what was coming next. I expected teeth chewing me up, but I heard a roar of pain as I was dropped. I opened my eyes, and felt myself lurch to the side from something ramming into me.

I felt a hoof on the center of my back and heard a slightly rough, yet late teen’s style voice speak. “stay still” I did as he said, and felt a pop at the base of my left wing and groaned from the shock of pain. “ok, you should be fine now…flight may be painful, but at least you can fly again.” I got up and looked at a blue pegasus with pitch black, spiky mane.

We heard a roar and looked at the hydra, as I saw one of the center heads eyes were bleeding, and a few random scrapes and cuts on the necks. The hydra then swung a claw to send a wave of mud at us, and I felt wind radiate around the pegasus…wind…it’s him?! He swat his wings at the wave as a dome of air covered us, and I heard him shout. “IT ISNT GONNA STOP THE WHOLE WAVE!”

“keep the dome up, I’ll deal with the rest…once I’m done drop it!” he nodded, and as the mud hit the dome I heard him grunt in exertion. He must have been training and was tired. I jumped forward making my wings go ablaze and spun making a huge blast of fire at the wave of mud over us, making a dense wall of hardened dirt. “DROP THE DOME!”

He did as I said, and the wall held as mud washed over the dense wall, and around us. I quickly moved to the pegasus, and swirled my wings making a small dome of fire around us, which dispersed, leaving us near Zecora’s place, and me exhausted, and panting.

“whoa…I never expected to see a pony with a power like mine, but with fire.” He walked up to me and held up his hoof. “names Comet…Blue Comet…”

“Blazing Feathers” I bumped my hoof into his smiling a bit. “but, I prefer Blaze”

Well…I found wind…but what about the others…? What elements still live…? Will they help for what’s coming…? Will Comet even help? I have no idea…but I have to hope they will…so we an stop what’s coming…but I have to be ready for anything, even if I must do it on
