Chapter 1 - Curiosity killed the Ender... Not really. (Rewritten)

It was another normal day in Minecraft, with all the Minecrafters working, the slimes hopping, the cows mooing, and the TNT's exploding. Life in Minecraft is sure the best thing that Notch can offer, unless you are a mob. Yes, It kind of sucks to be a mob in this land wonders doesn't it? For zombies and skeletons to burn in Notch's sun while the rest of us try to hide or defend ourselves against these humans known as Minecrafters. I for one am glad to be an Enderman, teleporting out of danger and what not. I do feel kind of bad for Creepers when they explode.

My thing is to collect as much blocks I can find. Mostly, shiny things like these yellow, blue, red, and white blocks I find in mansions or castles those Minecrafters build. I know I should hate them like the other mobs do, but there's something about them I like. They don't just live and survive, they discover and create. I mean just look at what they make in their spare time.

Oh, were are my manners? My name is Shadow, and I'm an Enderman, I always wanted to have a friend or companion to hang out with on a daily basis, but for some reason, I always get ignored and/or threatened by those Minecrafters when I get near. It's a lonely life as a Mob, but everything changes one day on my usual treasure hunts when I found this castle. As my own curiosity got the best of me again, I decided to investigate.

When I walked in, I already can tell that it hasn't been used in years. Most of the walls and décor wash nothing but pieces in ruins. I guess there must have been some gang-raid or a full out mob attack. As I get in deeper in the ruins of a perfectly good castle I stumble apon a rather strange looking book on the floor. I recognized it as an Enchantment Book. I've seen them a couple of times when I teleport into a library when I'm bored. I picked it up and opened it. All I could see is some scribble in the text and a picture of a dark figure with four legs.

I wasn't sure of what It meant, but what caught my eyes was a writing that I can finally make out of. As I read the message, the book suddenly closed and started floating out of my grasp. Then, before I could teleport out of reach, something shot out off the book and landed on my chest. I try too pry it off, only for it to somehow faze into my body. Feeling even more terrified, I tried to teleport again. I then realized that I was standing over a huge hole in the ground. As I began to fall in, all I saw before I blacked out was nothing but pitch-black and purple streams of light that seems to go on forever.

Chapter 2 - Where am I? (Edited)

????

Shadow's POV

As I continue to fall in this endless abyss, I see nothing but darkness all around me. There was nothing in sight.

"So this is it?" I say to myself in frustration. "I'm just going to keep falling in this endless void until I die of starvation? Well this is fan-fucking-tastic."

"I wouldn't worry about that."

I flinched as a voice sounded off. I looked around franticly.

"Hello? Who's there?!"

"You don't recognize me?" The voice said.

"I can't see you anywhere in this place. Even with my night vision.

"Oh, how rude of me. Let me lighten things up."

As true to his words, it sounded like a guy from how deep his voice was, streams of glowing purple pixels started floating around me as more stream up. When I spot the mystery voice, I was both surprised and a bit annoyed at who I see.

"Notch?! Why you of all people?!" I glared.

"Well, thought's one way greet someone. Rude, but we all have our ways. I won't judge." Notch said.

"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a thought came to me. "Speaking of which, what is 'here'?"

"To answer your question, you're in a place called the Midnight Zone."

"Midnight Zone?" I ask. "What the in the Nether is that?"

"The Midnight Zone is the void outside the Dimensional Barrier." Notch explains. "Right now, you are falling through the bridge that connects each dimensions together."

"What does that mean? What's going to happen?! Am I going to die?! I already had a bad life as it is!"

I was starting to panic. Truth be told, I had a terrible life trying to survive among those damn Minecrafters. Now I'm going to die from reading a book? Fuck that!

"Calm yourself, young one." Notch said. "You will very much still be alive."

Well that's a relief.

"Though, once you cross through the barrier in the other dimension, you will never come back to your original."

...What...

"What?" Was all I said.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but anything that comes through the Midnight Zone will never be seen again from their world."

"So this is it?" I ask. "But what will I do in this... other world?"

"That is for you to decide your on destiny, Shadow." Notch said as him and the purple lights around me starts to slowly fade.

"Wait! What's going to happen if I do cross through this barrier-whatever?!"

"Once you come through the Dimensional Barrier, your original form will change to blend in with the inhabitants on the other side."

"But will I be?!"

"You will soon find out." Notch looked like a ghost at this point. "Good luck, Shadow the Enderman. May me and my brother, Herobrine watch over you!"

That was the last thing he said before him and the lights that were around me faded to nothingness. It was just me now, all by myself.

'Now what?' I thought.

Suddenly, a faint white light shined below me. It was getting brighter and brighter by the second. I closed by eyes, trying to block out the really bright light. A few moments later, felt myself land with a thud. Whatever I landed on felt like... wood? I open my eyes to see the most weirdest sight I ever seen. In front of me was a lavender horse with a small purple dragon on its back. They were both staring at me with the look of pure shock. Before I could do anything, I suddenly felt weak as the world around me turned to darkness once again.

Author's Note

Chapter 4 - New Skin (Edited)

Dear, Princess Celestia

I know that you and Luna are currently busy rebuilding Canterlot, but I need you immediately at the Golden Oak Library. When me and Spike finally got back from our train ride, there was a bright light that appeared when I opened the front door. When it dimmed down, there stood in front of us a unicorn stallion with black coat and purple mane and tail. He also has a set of razor sharp teeth. What surprised me the most is that he is tall as you! At least one head taller. He is currently lying on my couch unconscious. I've sent Spike to get the others. I will wait for a reply.

Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle

As Twilight finished writing and sending the urgent letter, she turned her attention back to her guest. She had no idea who this stallion was. What will she do when he regains consciousness.

'The last tall pitch-black pony I've met tried to steal my brother and make Equestria her hive's feeding grounds.' Twilight thought as her horn glows. 'I should check to be sure. Better safe than sorry. It's a good thing Celestia taught me a spell to check for Changelings after the incident.'

Twilight lowered her horn and scanned. To her relief, he wasn't a Changeling, but she still doesn't know if he is safe to be around with.

"I hope Spike and the others get here soon." Twilight said to herself.

Just then, Spike came running in from the door with the mares in tow.

"Twilight! Are you okay?! Did he do anything to you?!" Spike said as he tries to catch his breath.

"It's okay, Spike. I'm fine." Twilight reassured. "Our guest is still unconscious."

"Twi, what happened?" Applejack asks. "Spike came in shoutn' about a mystery pony appearing in your library."

"It's true. When me and Spike gotten home from our train ride, a light shined and he appeared."

Everypony and dragon turned their gaze towards the dark-coated stallion. They had mix feelings about the newcomer. Applejack was impressed by the stallion's slight muscle tone, he sure looks really strong for a unicorn. Rainbow Dash was suspicious as she keeps an eye on the large pony. Fluttershy was keeping her distances away as she finds a spot to hide just in case. Twilight was fascinated at how this pony was so big, he looked similar to an Alicorn. Pinkie was just being Pinkie. Rarity on the other hoof had a look of awe.

'Oh my Celestia!' Rarity thought. 'Who ever this pony is, his color tone is absolutely marvelous! I already have so many ideas for my next line of dresses.'

"Look, everypony! He's waking up!" Pinkie said excitedly.

The girls took a couple of steps back as the Enderman turned pony starts to open his eyes.

Shadow groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. Boy, that trip did a number on him. It was kind of sad to know that he won't be able to go back home. Though, it is also great to be in someplace new. Notch mentioned that the new place would be very different, but that didn't worry the Enderman.

'Where ever I am, I'm sure it can't be too weird.' He thought.

When Shadow fully opened his eyes, he saw a rather strange sight. In front of him were multi-colored horses and a small dragon to his surprise. They all looked at him as he takes in his surrounding.

'Okay, this might be weirder then those Youtube Videos'

Not knowing what to do, he decides go with one option.

"Uh... hi?" Shadow greets awkwardly.

In a flash, the pink horse was right up in his face. Showering Shadow with questions he can barely catch on to.

"Hi there! My name is Pinkie Pie! What's your name? Where did you come from? Why are you in Twilight's library? Do you have any more friends? I want to be their friends too! Do you want a party?! Huh, huh, huh, well do you?!!" Pinkie's snout was against Shadow's at this point.

Shadow was at lost of words.

'This is one hyperactive horse! Did someone traded her 50 packs of sugar for fireworks or something?!'

Though, to his relief, the butterscotch colored winged horse came to his rescue and pride this 'Pinkie Pie' out of his personal space.

"Pinkie, stop." Fluttershy calmly spoke. "This pony here may be hurt and you're making him feel uncomfortable."

Fluttershy faces Shadow.

"Are you okay? If... you don't mind me asking."

"I'm fine." Shadow replied. "Thanks for asking."

'It's official, I like this horse. Hope the others are the same.' Shadow thought.

Everypony stayed silent for a moment before Twilight spoke.

"Well, allow me to introduce my, I'm Twilight Sparkle, prized student of Princess Celestia herself, and these are my friends. This is Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and-"

"-and I'm Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow interrupted. "The fastest flyer in Equestria and future member of the Wonderbolts!"

'Geez, and I thought those Minecrafters were loud sometimes.' Shadow thought as he rose from the couch.

"Whoa nelly." Applejack said surprised. "You're sure taller when standing. Heck, ya'll are even taller than Princess Celestia."

Before Twilight could ask Shadow's name, Spike burped out a small paper that flouted in front of Twilight's face.

Dear, Twilight Sparkle

I don't want to cause an alarm, but this pony you described is similar to the ones me and my sister recently have gotten reports of. This pony may be a threat. I want you to get it out of the library. If it refuses, then carefully get everypony out of there. Me and my sister are on our way to deal with this threat.

-Princess Celestia

See what happens next on Minecraft Beginnings!

Chapter 5 - The Hunger Games Comes Early

After reading through the letter, Twilight was nervous with the stallion. Was he some sort of criminal? What did she mean by 'similar'? Though, she was given orders.

'This must be important,' Twilight Thought. 'I better get everypony out of here, just gotta act normal'

"So what's is say, Twilight?" Spike asked.

"Oh, it's nothing too important. Celestia said that she'll be coming here soon to greet our guest." Twilight said as she trotted to the door. "Say, why don't we all take this chat outside while we wait for the princesses to arrive."

"Wow Twilight." Rainbow spoke. "I didn't know an Egghead like you can learn how to loosen up. You always go to 'Perfection Freak' mode if the princesses come. What's the deal?"

"Well, if you must know, I can relax too Rainbow Dash. I just thought it would be nice to be outside for a bit." Twilight Replied. Also a bit irritated about the 'Perfection Freak' name earlier.

Unknown to everypony, Shadow have been listening to the conversation from the start.

'There's something going on and I don't think this 'Celestia' person isn't coming just for a visit' Shadow Thought.

"Hey girls," Getting there attentions. "I think it is a good idea to go outside. It's a sunny day out there and I think we could enjoy the nice breeze."

"Wait," Rarity spoke. "I don't want to cause a delay, but none of us have gotten your name."

"Oh, where are my manners? My name is Shadow the Enderpony."

'Enderpony? Now where did that come from?' Shadow Thought. 'I'm an Enderman! I haven't been in this place for a day and starting to change already. Well, more than I already am.'

Shadow walked passed Twilight and went out the door. When he got out, the door slammed shut right behind him.

'I knew something was up from the beginning.'

Before Shadow could teleport inside, a beam came out of nowhere and exploded in front of him. He turned around and saw two different ponies.

"Stay where you monster!" Celestia Demanded. "Who are you and what are you?! I can tell that you are no ordinary pony!"

"*Gasp* Me?! A monster?!" Shadow Teased. "Why would you say such a thing? Did I forgot to bow for you glory?"

"Don't you speak such vile to my sister!" Luna Shouted. "Thou won't be so mighty after you're vanquished naïve!"

Luna charged up her horn an fired a lightning bolt straight a Shadow and exploded. When the smoke was cleared, both royal sisters looked on shocked that there was a crater, but there was no monster. There was a sound behind them, Shadow teleported out of danger in a blink of an eye.

"So, you want to fight a monster?!" Shadow yelled in anger. "Well, you got yourself a Mob Brawl!!" *SSSCCCRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCHHHH*

Faster than anypony can act, he swung both his front legs right at Luna and repeatedly slammed her into the ground. He would have ended her right there, if a beam hadn't struck Shadow in the back. That made him even angrier as he teleported in front of Celestia, a few feet away from her. Before Shadow can throw another attack, he looked around to see a crowd of ponies that watched the entire fight, looking both amazed and terrified.

'What am I doing?' Shadow Thought. 'I'm suppose to be on their good side not the other way around. I know what I must do.'

To Celestia's confusion, Shadow sat on his haunch and put his front hooves behind his head.

"I surrender, and I apology for causing disturbance to the peace." Shadow Declared. "I am ready to accept my faith, as I nearly took an innocent life by my aggressive actions."

The crowd of ponies looked on confused and shock at this new-comer's behavior. Some started muttering to each other.

"Who is this stallion?"

"Did you see that fight?!"

"He took out one of the royal sisters in seconds!"

"Why is he surrendering?"

"Does he like muffins?"

Celestia looked on as Shadow closed his Ender eyes and lowered his head, ready for his demise. Normally, Celestia would have rid of any threat that harm her ponies, especially her sister. Except, there was something odd about this pony that she finds interesting. He might of started to fight royalty, but he also immediately gave up and turned himself in for causing harm to somepony like Luna. Thankfully, Luna only gotten a minor injury. Maybe, a few bruised ribs and bumps.

"Guards, please take Luna back to Canterlot and put her in the West Wing Hospital." Celestia ordered as she walk towards Shadow.

The royal guards saluted and did as they've been ordered. Celestia stopped right in front of the Enderpony, as Shadow look up still waiting for his punishment.

"Who are you mysterious stallion?" She Asked. "And what are your intentions in Equestria?"

"...My name is Shadow the Enderpony your highness." Shadow finally spoked. "And my intentions are to make peace with this land's inhabitants, but out of anger, I attacked royalty and caused emotional distress to you subjects."

Celestia thought for a second, then smiled as the Mane 6 finally came out.

"Shadow the Enderpony, I here by decree that you shall be... pardoned for you actions." She Declared. Everypony and Shadow looked at the Princess of the Sun with confusion.

"However, for causing disturbance to the community and minor injury to my sister, you must do community service for 2 months to recover from your accidental crime. Do you accept?"

Shadow thought for a second. "I accept you offer your highness."

"Very well, you will also be looked after by the Elements of Harmony as you live among one of them." Celestia turned to the 6 mares. " Can you handle this task?"

Twilight spoke. "Of course Celestia, you can count on us for this task."

Celestia smiled as she's ready to take flight, when she turned around towards Shadow.

"And Shadow," Shadow leaned closer. " Welcome to Equestria. Try to stay out of trouble." She smirked as she took flight towards Canterlot to check on a certain Princess of the Night.

Author's Note

"Well, I hope everypony likes this chapter, and I will be making more this summer. Now I have my time off." :twilightsmile:
"What about me? Thanks to you, I'm stuck with community service for 2 months. I'll miss summer break!
"At least I ended this chapter peacefully. What? Do you want me to end it making you a run away criminal for the entire story?" :ajbemused:
"..."
"I stand corrected."
"So anyway, thanks for reading the chapter and we'll see you everypony next time on 'Minecraft Beginnings'." :facehoof:

Chapter 6 - Minecraft 101

After Celestia's departure, everypony eventually went back to their everyday routines, but they were still a little bit startled about the fight from earlier. Shadow and the mane 6 decided to head back to the library to get everything sorted out.

"Alright," Twilight first to speak. "Since everything is finally settled down, I was hoping we all get to know you better Shadow."

"What would you like to know?" Shadow replied.

"Well, we all know your name for starters, and I think I speak for all of us is where do you come from? I never seen anypony like you before."

"Alright, I'll answer your questions, but I think it would be fair that each pony and dragon in this room will ask a question at a time."

Everypony that for a second and agreed on the term.

"Okay," Shadow began. " For your question Twilight, I come from land made of blocks called Craftia. It is a land for the brave and the bold. Most importantly, for those who wants to create from their imagination.

"I must say, that does sounds fascinating." Rarity commented. "But, what do you mean by 'create from their imagination'? Do you mean that you can make anything with just your mind? Also, does this count as my turn of questioning?"

"To answer you questions, you can gather material to create anything that your heart desires in your wildest imaginations. You can make houses, cities, and even other castles. Also no, this doesn't count as you turn."

Twilight overheard and quickly grabbed a quail and notepad and started writing everything down.

"My turn!" Rainbow yelled. "Are there any other ponies like you or are you just the only one?"

"There aren't any ponies where I come from. I wasn't originally a pony when I came to this place. The only differences is I was tall, bipedal, and blocky. I am what is called an Enderman. There are other mobs such as Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, Endermans as we've established, Witches, Slimes, Spiders, Cave Spiders, Silverfishes, and the most powerful of all of us, The Ender-Dragon."

"Hoowy, that's a lot of specific types of fellows ya got there." Applejack said.

"My turn!" Pinkie screamed. "What's-"

"Before you ask Pinkie," Shadow interrupted. "Can you please ask one question at a time, calmly?"

"Okie-Dokie-Lokie," Pinkie replied. "What types of party do you mobs throw? Is it a good one? I bet is, isn't it? Huh, huh, huh?!"

"Well, to tell you the truth Pinkie, no. We mobs don't throw parties. These beings called Minecrafters don't throw parties for us mobs. Considering the fact that they are the dominant species of Craftia and treat us mobs like dirt blocks"

"Okay, my turn!" Applejack yelled. "Ya can even skip me on my next turn for this. What gives these Mincrafters the right to do anything they want?! Also, what did you mobs do that made them mean to you?! It's not right one bit!"

*Sigh* "We are the enemies of the inhabitants that want them dead in the first place."

Everypony gasped.

"But why would you want to kill somepony," Fluttershy finally asked. "If... you don't mind me asking."

"Well, you know your princesses from earlier?"

"You mean, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, they almost seem to resemble the two rulers of Craftia. Ruler of the Day, Notch, and Ruler of Night, Herobrine. They are brothers and they are the ones who created all of Craftia. One day, Herobrine had enough of the Minecrafters ignoring them and not treating them like the gods they are. Notch, being the wise ruler, gave the Minecrafter free will so they can explore, create, and learn from their mistakes. Fearing of having future errors, Herobrine created us mobs to scout out and destroy every last Minecrafters."

Twilight was writing every last detail through the story.

" Soon, Notch realized what's happening and tried to fight back along with the rebelling Minecrafters in the war, but we became too much for them to handle and drove them back. We were going to be the last ones standing, but Notch was left with no choice but to vanish his own brother to a place called The Nether World or Nether for short. Without Herobrine's magic, we can only come out at night. Well, Spiders, Creepers, Slime, and us Endermans can come out during the day. Pretty soon, the Minecrafters took control of the land and try to kill us. They usually try to ignore us, but were the ones who try to start the brawl."

Shadow was on the verge of tears at this point.

"But not all of us mobs want to fight! There are some that try to be friends, but most of the others freaking mobs have to ruin it by being nothing but mindless killing machines! It's not fair! It's not fair!" *SSSCCCRRREEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCHHHH*

Shadow finally gave in and curled up in a ball and cried his eyes out. Normally, he wouldn't cry over this, but this was the first time he talked about it to anyone. Through years of keeping it in is finally released. Shadow continued to cry until he felt something soft wrapping all around him. The girls were hugging and crying with Shadow. Even Rainbow and Spike were crying too.

"Shh... It's okay, everything will be alright, Shadow."

"Ya not a bad mob. You're a good one."

"Maybe things will work out some day."

"You are magnificent, Shadow, not a monster darling."

"If those no good Minecrafters pick on you, then I got your back."

"We'll be your friends if those meanies won't give you a chance."

"You seem like an awesome Enderpony to me dude."

Shadow never felt this loved before. He was now really happy to have friend for the first time. He finally felt like he was at peace. When everything calmed down, Shadow told everything he could to everypony present. After what felt like hours, they all decided to head home. Twilight decided to have Shadow stay with her. It was late and both Twilight and Spike went to bed. Shadow however, teleported to the roof of the treehouse and looked on at the bright full moon during the beautiful night. He wonder what's in store for him for his first day of community service tomorrow. Soon, Shadow drifted off to sleep with a certain night pony watching him from a distance smiling.

Author's Note

"Hello everypony, I hope you liked this chapter, and you will give credit to Shadow for doing a great job."

*sniff* "Thanks man, thank you for giving me friend and a new life in Equestria. It means a lot to me."

"No problem, also for everypony out there, I need ideas on what Shadow will be doing for his first day with a bit of a heroic act with it to get the trust of the citizens of Ponyville."

"You mean that you don't have an idea?"

"No, my editor and I got into a fight and just quit, so I need some inspiration. Also, it would be awesome if somepony can send a sound effect of an Enderman screeching link to me..."
"Not to mention that Shadow needs a Special Somepony in after 'The Crystal Empire' Chapter~."

"What was that?"

"Nothing! Anyway, we'll see you fellow Bronies and Pegisisters next time on, "Minecraft Beginnings!"

Chapter 7 - From Zero to Hero

The next day, Shadow woken up quite early thanks to a certain lavender pony, and gotten plenty to eat for work. Although, breakfast was something new to Shadow. He never had Hay Bacon or Hay Pancakes before. Let alone didn't think he could craft two food together. After breakfast, Twilight and Shadow were walking to Town Hall to speak with the mayor about the Community Service assignment he had to do. On the way, the ponies from yesterday stopped what ever routine they were doing and tried not to make any eye contact with Shadow while remaining silent. This made Shadow uncomfortable.

"Uh, Twilight?" Shadow whispered. "Are you sure it's a good idea for me to do my work today? We could do it tomorrow and I just teleport to this Town Hall."

"I'm sure," Twilight replied. "If you're going to do your job, than it's better to do it now than later. Also, you're going to show yourself when working anyway. It'll be good for your image. That fight you and the princesses put up did frightened some of the residents, and you need to show them that you are not a threat."

"I guess."

"By the way, when you fought Princess Luna and won, was that you full strength or were you pushing yourself to achieve victory?"

"Well, I can honestly say that was only half of my power I used."

Now Twilight's jaw was about to hit the ground.

'What does he mean by 'half of my power'?!' Twilight thought. 'Does that mean he's stronger than normal? Could he have beaten Celestia if he hadn't surrendered? Also, what type of magic and abilities does Shadow pose? I'm going to have to ask when he come back home later.'

Twilight's thought's were cut off as she bumped into somepony.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Fluttershy said. "I didn't mean to get in your way."

"It's okay Fluttershy," Twilight replied. "I'm actually sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

Fluttershy soon saw Shadow and flew up hugged him.

"Oh, hi Shadow. I didn't see you there. How were you this morning?"

"I'm doing good." Shadow replied. "Thanks for asking. By the way, what were you doing before we ran into you?"

"Oh, well, I was just heading home from the market to feed some of the animals at my cottage. Then, I was going to have a picnic with Barry the bear."

Shadow was confused. "What's a bear?"

This also confused both mares. "What do you mean 'What's a bear?'?" Twilight spoke. "Don't you have animals in this Craftia?"

"Well, the only animal I ever see are Wolves, Ocelots, Sheep, Cows, Bats, Chickens, Rabbits, and-" Shadow stopped right there. He didn't want to risk offending them and making a weird situation. "-and that's about it."

Fluttershy and Twilight seemed very shocked.

"There's actually only those kinds of animals in Craftia?!" Fluttershy barely yelled. "You have to see some of the animals we have in Equestria. Maybe later, you could come to my cottage and meet my animal friends after your first day of community service, if... that's okay with you."

"Sure, that would be nice Fluttershy. Anyway, I don't want to be rude or anything, but I'm going to run late and I need to go."

"Oh, well, okay. I got to go too, and I hope you have a good time of your community service."

They both said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Twilight and Shadow finally got to Town Hall. Although, Shadow was wondering on why it has so many boarded up holes all around the roof. When they got in, there were ponies working on paperwork and what not. Twilight trotted up to the receptionist who is also doing paperwork.

"Hello" Twilight spoke. "My name is Twilight Sparkle and I'm here with my friend, Shadow, and we're here to speak with the Mayor for his first day of community service."

The receptionist looked up with a smile. "Oh, hello there." She said cheerfully. "The Mayor was expecting you two. She's in her office waiting for both of you."

Twilight nodded and trotted to the office with Shadow in tow.

"Oh, good morning you two," Mayor Mare greeted. "I assume that you are here for you first day of community service?"

"Yes mam," Shadow replied. "So, what's my assignments for today?"

"Well let's see," Mayor Mare grabbed a paper out of her desk. "It seems you don't have that much to do today. All you have to do is help Miss Pie or Pinkie Pie with her pastry delivery, assist the local construction team with their current project, and you have to help a stallion name Big Macintosh get two carts full of apples to a buyer in Canterlot."

"Too let you know, I barely know this place or some of the ponies that live here or there."

"Don't worry, once you arrive to your assign destinations, your instructors will inform you everything you need."

"Alright then..."

With that, Shadow and Twilight got out of the office, said their goodbyes, and went their separate ways.

'Alright Shadow,' Shadow thought to himself. 'This is the most important job of the day. You got to make a good impression. I'm going to complete this no matter how challenging, difficult, or ridiculous it is-'

10 Minutes Later

'-This was way easier than I expected.'

What basically happened was that Shadow teleported to each of the Pinkie's customer's address, build the house project in an incredible speed, and again teleported Big Mac and the carts to Canterlot and back. He finished all of his today's assignments in no time and it haven't gotten to noon. Shadow decided to go to Fluttershy's cottage and meet these 'other' animals she was talking about.

When he was about to leave Sweet Apple Acres from his previous job, he heard a scream coming from this 'Everfree Forest' Twilight mentioned this morning. With out hesitation, Shadow ran through the bushes and trees. What he found shocked and angered him. There in front of him were three fillies cornered by a what seems to be a creature combined with a lion, bat, and a scorpion. It roared as it raised it's paws to end the fillies as the girls braced for their end, but the pain never came as Shadow teleported in front of the girls and grabbed the up coming paw.

"Listen to me creature!" Shadow yelled. "Are you going to leave these fillies alone, or are we going to have a problem?!"

The Manticore brought it's other paw down and tried to swing at it's lunch, but Shadow grabbed the three fillies and teleported a few feet from where they were and told them to get help, which they hesitated but comply.

"OH, YOU DID IT NOW!! I GUESS WERE GOING TO HAVE APROBLEM-" *SSSSCCCCRRRREEEECCCHHH*

The Manticore let out a huge roar and charged at Shadow, but he missed and crashes through a tree as Shadow teleported away. The Manticore wasted no time and stabbed Shadow in the right front leg with his stinger. Shadow screeched in pain as he started to bleed. The Manticore smiled as he thought his foe ready to give up, but his face turned from pride to fear as he looked at his opponent. Shadow's eyes was glowing dark red as he bit in his own wound, sucked up all the poison from his veins, and spit it on the ground. Shadow made an evil grin.

"Big mistake." *SSSCCCRRREEEEEEEEEEECCCCHHH*

Shadow teleported behind the Manitcore and grabbed his scorpion tail. With of his strength, he flipped the surprised beast over his head and slammed him to the ground again, again, and again. Until...

*SNAP*

The Manticore let out a loud roar of pain as his tail was ripped off. Shadow lifted up the Manticore and sent it flying across the forest like a pebble skipping in a pond as it now lies dead on the ground. Satisfied, Shadow let out a victory screech that shook the forest. Pain finally got to him as he fell to his side. Before he passes out, he saw ten familiar ponies coming towards him in his direction.

Author's Note

"Hello everypony, It's me, The Enderpony Master, and I'm sorry to say that Shadow will not be joining us in this update as he is currently in the Ponyville General Hospital. So, I'll fill in for him." :twilightsheepish:

"I'm going to make it quick and say that I hope you like the fight scene and I that I'm going to get 'The Crystal Empire' episode up and running. Also, I have been thinking and I choose Luna to be Shadow's Special Somepony." :pinkiesmile:

"I thought that they could share a liking in a relationship. Mostly, because I mostly see less Princess Luna romance in the stories I read online and thought that I should give it a go. Sorry Twilight, maybe next time." :twilightoops:

"Anyway, that's it for now, and I'll see you my Bronies and Pegisisters on 'Minecraft Beginnings'." :pinkiehappy:

'Note to self, send Shadow some flowers.'

Chapter 8 - A Cold Day In The Nether (Part 1)

Ponyville General Hospital

Shadow was on a hospital when he woke up. At first, he didn't know where he was and was about teleport, but he saw the door open to reveal a brown stallion with black mane and tail. Follow by, a pure white mare with light pink mane and tail, carrying a clipboard.

"Oh, it seems somepony is up early." Said the brown stallion. "I have to admit, it is amazing that you're alive right now."

"Okay..." Shadow said. "Who are you two and where am I?"

"Oh, you're in the Ponyville General Hospital." The white mare said. "Also, this is Doctor Stables and I'm Nurse Redheart."

"Those were quite the injury you had there Mr. Shadow." Dr. Stables said. "Tell me, how did you receive such conditions?"

"Well," Shadow started. "I was heading over to a friend after work, until I heard some screaming and went to check it out. When I got there, I saw a bunch of fillies cornered by a Manticore."

This got both Dr. Stables' and Nurse Redheart's full attention.

"It was about to kill those fillies, but I teleported them out of danger and told them to get help."

"Get help?" Nurse Redheart asked. "Didn't you run along with the girls to escape?"

"No, I stayed and fought the beast. I was stung by it, but I sucked up all the poison and killed the Manticore after."

Now both medical employees were shocked.

"How's that possible?!" Dr. Stables asked. " A pony that has been stung by such a creature would of been dead in a couple of minutes! Let alone, an angry and aggressive Manticore getting food!"

Shadow smirked. "Well, we Enderponies are far more aggressive than any other creatures out there."

Dr. Stables raised an eyebrow. "What does that suppose to mean?"

"Trust me, you won't like it when we're angry." Shadow said it in a dark voice.

"Okay then..." Nurse Redheart said nervously." Well, we originally came here to check up on you before your guests comes."

"I have guests?" Asked Shadow.

"Yes, and you were going to be here for awhile, but somehow your wounds healed at a amazing rate. So, it seems like you're free to go."

"We'll let them in for you." Dr. Stables says as he and Nurse Redheart walked out of the door. Soon, five ponies came trotting in with different expressions on their faces.

"How's it going big guy?" Rainbow Dash asked while playfully punched Shadow's shoulder.

"Oh dear, are you okay?" Fluttershy said as she hovers over him.

"I'm fine," Shadow chuckled. "The doctors said I'm going to make a full recovery."

"Yippee! My Ender friend is going to be alright! When we get back, I'm going to through you a 'Hero' and a 'Manitcore Survivor' Party!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

Shadow chuckled.

'I'll never know what powers that cotton-candy bundle of joy.' He thought.

"Wait, what do you mean 'When we get back'?" Shadow asked. "Where are we going?"

"Well darling," Rarity finally spoke. "Our good friend Twilight has gotten a letter from Princess Celestia that she will be given a test. I must say, I don't see what's the whole fuss is about."

She and Applejack came closer to Shadow while Applejack took off her Stetson.

"Also Shadow," Applejack said "Thanks for saving our sisters Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and their friend Scootaloo. We wouldn't know what we would do if you hadn't..."

Applejack was the verge of tears when something soft wiped her cheeks.

"It's alright Applejack," Shadow said tenderly. "The important thing is that they are out of danger and they are still among us."

"You're right, *sniff*, thanks partner."

After the heart-warming moment, the gang help fill out the paper work and got Shadow checked-out. They walked down the streets, until they heard a huge explosion come from Golden Oak Library.

"It sounds like Twilight is ready to go." Rainbow said.

After Twilight's 'exam' was properly announced, they all set out on a train to the Artic North where they will help with the whole Crystal Empire situation. When they got off their train, a pure white stallion with light blue mane and tail, wearing a scarf and mask greeted them.

"Twily!" Shining Armor yelled. "It's good to see you and you're friends again."

"It's nice to see you too Shining." Twilight replied. "Where's Cadance?"

"She's in the castle under the barrier." Shining finally set his gave at Shadow. He pushed Twilight behind him and pointed his horn at Shadow.

"Careful Twilight, those things are dangerous!"

Before he could shoot, the mares and dragon got in front of his range.

"Shining wait!" Twilight yelled. "This is our friend, Shadow, and he's not a monster; he's an Enderpony!"

Before Shining Armor could ask a question, there was a bunch of screeches coming from the blizzard.

"We'll talk later, we got to get to the safe zone. We don't want to be out here with them after dark."

"Um... who's them?" Spike asked nervously.

Spikes question was answered when a huge, dark, shadowy figure with glowing green eyes was coming right for them, it was King Sombra! Without wasting time, everypony ran for dear life to the safe zone. Suddenly, three tall figures popped out of nowhere and hissed at Fluttershy who was stopped in her tracks screaming. Shining Armor lit his horn and fired at the shadow, but it teleported out of his shot. Rainbow swooped down and picked up the now crying Fluttershy. When they finally got the safe zone, they were tired out of running. Although, there were two stallions that were missing and things were going to get worse.

Shining was wandering through the blinding blizzard while trying to find the mares, but he was soon met with something hard in the back of his head. He stood there for two seconds and fell into the snow unconscious. Sombra was laughing as he took a look at his victim that was surrounded by his shadowy minions.

"Oh, is this suppose to be the new ruler of my empire?" Sombra quietly asked to nopony. "How pathetic..."

Sombra summoned a black crystal that was sharpened to the tip. He raised it to Shining Armor's neck and whispered something in his ear.

"It was nice meeting you, but I do believe my subject are waiting for their ruler to return..." Sombra grinned.

"Goodbye, and don't worry... I'll put put a statue of you when I take my city back."

Just when he was going to slice out Shining's neck, a screech roared threw the blizzard. Then, one by one, the shadowy minions were being grabbed and pulled into the blinding snow storm. Sombra was both confused and angry.

"Who's there?!" He shouted. "Show yourself!"

Soon, Shadow teleported in Sombra's view, who was looking back at him with interest.

"So, you're this 'Sombra' I've heard about." Shadow said. "I got to say, you don't seem that scary. Also, I don't think you're going to put up statue for him."

"Who and what are you fool?! I can see that you're not a regular pony!"

"Oh, how rude of me." Shadow said in a teasing matter. "I am Shadow the Enderpony and I came to get my friend back if you don't mind." He grinned.

Now Sombra was really mad. How dare he treat him with little respect? He charged his horn and shot it straight at Shadow, only for shadow to teleport to Shining Armor's form and took him out of danger. When Shadow reached his destination, he saw six mares and a dragon with their mouths hanged.

"What the buck just happened to you two?!" Rainbow shouted.

Chapter 8 - A Cold Day In The Nether (Part 2)

Crystal Empire Main Streets

The group was walking down the streets with a certain dragon in tow. They were really shock to know that Shadow saved Shining Armor's life, and Shining was very grateful that he made it out of there alive. Although, it was disappointing to know that they left the scene with a catch. It turns out that before their escape, King Sombra placed a curse on Shining's horn. Now, he can't use any magic to help out with the barrier.

"...and that's how I ended up here in this place." Shadow was telling Shining Armor about his arrival to Equestria.

"Wow, that's was some story you got there." Shining replied. "So, what are you planning to do after this whole thing blows over?"

"Well... I still got to go back to work on my community service." Shadow replied.

Shining Armor was now confused. "Community Service, why do you have to do that?"

"I may have... attacked the royal sisters... and beaten one of them."

Shining Armor was now shocked.

"You did what?! First off, what did you do anger them? And second, what gave you the right to attack them?"

"Hey, they attacked first and called me a monster. I just... got carried away is all."

"Well, needless to say, I'm really surprise that you took one of them out."

"I just got them by surprise on that one. I think they would of beaten me if they new about my kind."

"What are you called again? A Slenderpony or what?"

"Close, my kind is called Endermans, or in this case, Enderpony. Although, there is a legend about Slenderman, but I'll tell you some other time."

The gang were just right at the front doors. As they went, Shadow was awed at how much crystal are there. There were crystals for walls, ceilings, floors, they're all over the place!

'This is amazing,' Shadow thought. 'Every Minecrafter would kill to get a place like this.'

As they approach, Shadow noticed a pink Alicorn sitting in her throne, and she was looking like she hasn't slept for a while.

"Cadance!" Twilight yelled.

"Twilight..." Cadance barley yelled.

The two mares came together did a weird dance that Shadow couldn't really understand.

"Um... hello?

Twilight turns. "Oh, how rude of me. Cadance, this is Shadow the Enderpony."

"It's an honor to be in your presence." Shadow says as he bow. "I got to say, that you and your husband Shining over there really got a nice place you got here. Well, despite the evil returning shadow king that's trying to reclaim his empire."

"Thank you," Cadance replied. "Also, Twilight, one of these days, we really need to get together when Equestria isn't hanging in the balance."

For just one split second, Cadance's horn flickered and the sky turned from darkness and back. This got Shadow's attention.

"Uh, Cadance? I don't want to sound mean or anything, but you don't look so good. Also, what just happened to the sky a second ago?" Shadow says as ha trots up to the mares.

Shining Armor spoke. "Cadance's magic provides light and love. That's what seems to be protecting the empire. I would be helping too, but King Sombra cursed me and took away my magic."

"I'm fine." Cadance countered.

"She's not fine. She hasn't slept for days and barely eats. She can't keep this up forever." Shining says as he tries to comfort his wife.

All Shadow could do is feel sorry for Cadance. Not only is their empire is in trouble, but it seem that they are running out of time. It's only a matter of time when Mr. Dark-and-Furious gets through and gets back to the throne.

'Light...'

Shadow was cut from his train of thought when a mysterious voice whispered.

'What was that?'

'Love...'

'Who's saying that?'

'...Heart'

'Okay, who's talking, and what do you mean heart? Hello...hello?'

It was no use, the voice seized in volume, leaving a confused Enderpony. That's when something clicked in him.

"Hey girls," Shadow getting their attention. "I'm going to go and investigate something, I'll catch up to you guys later."

"Alright, but be careful sugercube." Applejack replied.

With that, Shadow turned and teleported back to the main streets. Apon arrival, the crystal ponies turned the gaze from Shadow and back with little interest. Shadow didn't know what to do. He just heard a mysterious voice and now he's out in the streets.

''Okay, so what to do?" Shadow muttered. "There's got to be a connection with that voice. It mentioned something about light, love, and a heart. I get why it mention the first two, but what does a heart have to do with anything."

Frankly, Shadow had no idea of what to do. He heard a voice and now he's outside. What is it that he could do out here?

"Maybe these ponies might know something. I mean they were enslave by that tyrant."

Shadow looked around and spotted a Earth pony mare with white coat and candy cane mane and tail walking down the street with her head hanging.

'Okay, this is just depressing. Show a little grin or something for Herobrine's sake.'

"Excuse me miss." Shadow greeted. "I was wondering if you know anything about you formal ruler, King Sombra."

All of a sudden, everything went totally silent and every crystal pony in earshot stopped and looked at Shadow with terror in their eyes. This confused Shadow as the shaking mare in front of him started stepping back slowly, not taking her eyes off of him. Shadow looked around and saw more ponies either backing a way or muttering to each other.

Shadow stepped forward to another crystal pony mare, only for her to run away completely. This was starting to get really annoying for the pony turned Enderman. With a scowl on his face, Shadow turned and left the scene as ponies moved quickly out his way. He may know that they're still scared of Mr. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, but it's still irritating for people ,or in this case ponies, to look at him like a monster. Well... he really is a monster, but that's not point!

Anyway, our Ender-friend here continued walking around the street asking pony to pony about the same matter for the last 2 hours. So far, he made absolute no progress what-so-ever! Even if he asked with out mentioning 'his' name!

"Oh come on!" Shadow yelled to no one. "There's got to be someone in this bucking place that knows anything about their ruler! For the love of Herobrine, they might of been vanish for a thousands years or something outside of the empire, but to them, they were gone for one day! There's gotta be someone that knows something about anything!"

Shadow then turned his venomous glare that'll scare off a Hydra at the staring group of crystal ponies.

"...AND WOULD EVERYPONY BUCKING STOP STARING AT ME!!"

That little outburst sent nearby ponies to look away or run off. Shadow was not making any progress and he knows it. What he didn't know was a cloak figure was looking at him from a hidden distance.

"I'm not the only one here?"

Shadow's Prov

This has been the most stressful hours of my life. First, I nearly get killed by an ancient shadow king, then I get strange looks and scare off anypony I come to contact with, and now a pony wearing a black cloak is spying on me. Wait, What?

I turn my gaze at the now discovered figure, only for him or her to turn and run that rivals Applejack. Something's off with that pony, and there could be a lead of some sort. So, I turn around and chased after the cloaked figure.

"Hey!" I yelled. "Wait a minute! I just want to talk to you for a bit!"

The mystery pony wasn't listening and I was starting to lose him or her. I had to deal with run away ponies! This one is not getting away this time! With a quick thinking, I teleported in front of my ~~prey~~ target, but what I didn't realize is that what if he or she is heavy? Apparently, my theory was correct because this mare (I felt the slim tone of her body. I bit too slim if you ask me.) crashes into me and with a loud thud, we tumbled and crash right into a alley.

I was a little dazed at first but with one final heave, I pushed myself back onto my hooves.

"Alright you, I don't know what was you deal spying on me back there, but now, you're gonna give me some answeeeerrrrrr-"

I expected my captured spy to be another pony of some sort, but what I didn't expected was to see a skeleton. Not only a skeleton, but a living and familiar skeleton... a Mob!

What a shock huh? :pinkiegasp: :pinkiehappy:

Anyway, Hello everypony, It's me, The Enderpony Master. :twilightsmile:

I know I've been taking a bit too long on making this chapter, but ever since school started. I've been working for hours on school work just to get some free time to write this chapter and will possibly the same with the next ones, hopefully not. :twilightsheepish: :facehoof: Here are some updates I would like to announce.

Update 1:

I will be making the chapters during the week and will post 1 or 2 chapters each weekend. Depending on how much free time I have.

Update 2:

If anypony would be interested in making me a wallpaper for my story cover. It's not that I don't like it, I created it myself anyway, but I just want to hold a mini contest on who will make the best wallpaper. The rules is that the picture can be sketched by hand or by computer; it has to be Shadow's and an Enderman's face put together in halves; and it is due by the end of October. The winner will have his or her name on one of the chapters. Take your time, I'm not in a hurry. :twilightsmile:

Well, that's it for now. I'll hear you my fellow Bronies and Pegisisters next time on Minecraft Beginnings!!! :pinkiehappy: :derpytongue2:

Chapter 8 - A Cold Day In The Nether (Part 3 Final)

Shadow's Prov

I can't believe it! There's another fellow Mob right in front of me! He's also a skeleton! Is this what the inside of a pony looks like? Man, I guess I learn new things everyday.
My train of thoughts were cut to a halt.

"Hello? Craftia to Enderman... Are you still there?!" The unknown skeleton said poking me.

"What? Oh, yeah. It's just that I have a lot a questions to ask you." I asked a bit excited.

"Before we go into that, can you tell me who you are and where are we?" He said as he sat.

I did the same. "My name is Shadow the Enderman, or in this case, Enderpony. We are in the land of Equestria ruled by two princesses. We are currently located in the Crystal Empire."

"Well it's finally nice to find another Mob that won't kill me on sight. Also, my name is Long Shot the apparently turned Skeleton Pony."

"It's good to meet you too Long Shot. Wait... what do you mean, kill you on sight?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "More importantly, how did you came here in the first place?"

"Alright, I'll tell you, but get yourself comfy, cause this will take a while"

====================================================

3 Days Earlier

Craftia

Long Shot's Prov

These days were becoming boring like always. I'm just wandering through the Forest Biome at night, with the stars and blocky moon shining over me. There hasn't been any Minecrafters around here lately. Which was good for some of us, but I like to get into the action with my trusty bow-and-arrow I always carry around. Now-a-days, things became calm and really boring.

"Ahh...*thud" I was cut from I my train of thought when I tripped over and landed face first onto the ground. A bit annoyed, I got up and brushed myself up.

I suddenly froze as started to hear, music? I picked up my Bow and started to follow the music. Unlike those annoying Minecrafters, us Mobs can see in the dark and avoid upcoming trees.

I finally reached to the source of the music, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. What I see is a bunch of Mobs throwing some sort of party. There were Zombies and other Skeletons dancing on some dance floor made of colored glass with Glow Stones lighting up underneath. I also see a creeper wearing headphones, bopping its head up and down from behind two speakers and a Juke Box playing the song I heard earlier. Guess he's some sort of DJ, wait... how is he doing it without arms?

I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry about that."

"Oy! You made me spill punch on my dress!" A Witch scolded me.

"I said I was sorry ma'm." I tried apologizing again.

"Sorry my a**! Who taught you manners?!" She shouted in my face as her big nose touched me.

"Alright, geez!" I said as I started walking away. "Witch... more like a b****."

Apparently, she must of heard me because felt pain on the back of my neck bone and the sound off broken glass. I turned around to see that damn Witch looking enraged.

"This is the last time someone insults me and gets away with it!" She shouted out of anger. "Well, lets see how you like this!"

The Witch pulls out a glowing white bottle out of her sleeves and throws it at me. At first, I didn't feel anything, but then I started become dizzy. Pretty soon, everything turned dark.

=================================================

Present

Equestria, Crystal Empire

3rd Person

"...and that's how I ended up in this place. I spent two days in a cave out in that Snow Biome getting used to this new body. Apperently, I can use magic to hold my bow-and-arrow." Long Shot continued on. "On the third night, I decided to explore the new land. As I was scouting out, I found this empire from a distance. I decided to head towards it when 4 Enderponies showed up out of nowhere. I thought I could get help from them, but then they started to attack me."

"Those were Sombra's shadowy minions." Shadow included.

"Who's Sombra?" Long Shot asked.

"He's the evil tyrant that is trying to take this place." Shadow explained.

"Right... anyway, I was able to escape them when I went though some sort of shield that surrounded this place before they got to me. Feeling safe, I started to explore this place when the sun started to come up. I quickly hid in a shady alleyway like this one, and I found this old cloak. It's not much, but I am not going to turn into ashes."

"This is awesome! Now, I'm not the only Mob in this world. You got to meet my friends." Shadow said excited.

Long Shot shifted his bony hoof in the ground. "I don't know, I not sure if they will like my... look."

"No way, we became friends after a while. So, I'm sure they will do the same to you. Plus, I could vouch for you if they see you as a threat."

"Well... alright." Long Shot said convinced. "So, where are you friends?"

"The last I saw them, they were inside the castle where they were planning a way to stop King Sombra and save the entire Crystal Empire."

"Well, that's useful information." Long Shot said sarcastically.

"Hey, I left them to check out something." Shadow countered.

"Which was?"

"...I, I don't know. I heard a voice in my head saying something about a heart." Shadow says as the duo started trotting out of the alleyway.

"Do you think it means anything?"

"I don't know, but maybe my friends might know wha-... was there a festival before we met each other in the alley?"

Shadow and Long Shot (Who put the cloak back on.) looked on as they see numerous rows of stands filled with games and activities. It looks like when the Spleef Tournament comes to Craftia. Shadow did remember some group of misfits entering it. Especially, an Enderman who was smaller than a normal Enderman. He wished he could of said hi to them that day.

"So, what does your friends look like?" Long Shot asked.

"I have a couple of them, but one of them has a lavender coat, with purple mane and tail with a pink line streak, and she's a mare unicorn." Shadow edplained.

"You mean like her over there?" He pointed.

Far off from a distance, there was Twilight walking down the fair grounds, but she was looking a bit troubled.

"Hey, that's her. Well, let's go meet her." Shadow declared.

Long Shot nodded as Shadow teleported both of them over to Twilight and a familiar purple dragon.

Shadow's Prov

As I teleported with Long Shot to our destination, our lavender friend seemed to took off somewhere with the purple dragon. I looked around and I spotted them running down the fair ground and into the castle. Becoming curious, I grabbed hold of Long Shot again and teleported us into the castle.

"Dude, where are we?" Long Shot asked a bit dizzy from the multiple trips.

"I saw my friends, Twilight and Spike, come in here. I think they might be onto something on stopping Sombra. Although, I still don't know where she exactly; this place is huge."

"Well then, I guess we'll have to search." Long Shot said as he trots away. "Meet me in the throne room if you find anything."

I nodded as I started to searching. Sadly, after a few minutes of teleporting around the castle, I couldn't find anything or anypony. So, I decided to head back to the throne room, only to see Long Shot standing near a huge hole in the ground.

"Hey, Long Shot?" I said trotting up to him. "What's with the hole? It wasn't there when we teleported in."

"I saw that pony and dragon opened it and went down these stairs."

"And you didn't call out for me a while ago because..." I raised my eyebrows.

"Hey, she was using some sort of dark magic to open. I think it wouldn't be wise to scare off a unicorn with that much fire power."

"Well I guess you have a point. Come on, we got to catch up to them." I say as I looked down." Sheesh... this place is bigger than I thought. Alright, Long Shot, hang on."

I grabbed Long Shot and I teleported to the bottom of the staircase. Only, to see an open door that seems to lead outside. How can it go outside even though we just went deeper underground? Not only that, but there is more stairs that goes up to the top of the empire.

"Do you think they went up?" Long Shot asked me.

I looked to see both Twilight and Spike somehow sliding upside-down to the top. "Yep, I guess they found something at the top. Alright, one more try."

I once more grabbed Long Shot and teleported us to the top of the staircase. Once we got our footing, the purple due finally came on sight.

"What the?!" Twilight said loudly. "Shadow, how did you get here?! And who is that?"

"I teleported both of us here." I explained. "As you can see, we are all on the top of the Crystal Empire. Also, this is my new friend, Long Shot."

"Sup." He said.

"Dude, what's up with the old cloak?" Spike pointed out.

"It's for protection and to keep my identity a secret for now. Well... for my figure, you already know my name."

"Okay? But-"

"I don't want to be mean and break this conversation, but right know, we need that Cyrstal Heart." Twilight interrupted.

"Crystal Heart?" I asked. "What is it? Is it something that'll stop King Sombra?"

"Yes, the Crystal Ponies powers the Heart so it can keep the empire safe. Sombra hidden it somewhere nopony can find it. Let alone too scared to try to find it." She explains.

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Grab it and let's do this!" Long Shot declared.

Twilight trots to the Crystal Heart. As she was near it, the ground turned black and black crystal spikes roses from the ground and trapped Twilight in.

"Twilight!" I yelled. "Are you alright?!"

"Yes, I'm fine," She says as she teleports out of trap, only for her to get sucked back in. "But I can't get out. Sombra must of enchanted it so nopony can leave."

I tried teleporting in myself, but my efforts is futile as it only shocks me each try. I looked around and noticed the sky has changed and the empire is starting to turn black with growing jagged spikes. Just then, a group of those Shadow minions appear out of nowhere and tried to get to Twilight, and ignoring us. Me and Long Shot went into action and defended off the Enderpony-want-a-be's I started thrashing and kicking while Long Shot starts shooting at them with flaming arrows. Did he learn to enchant something?

"Where's the Crystal Heart?!" Twilight yelled from the other side.

"It's right here!" Spike said with his arms crossed for some reason. "What do we do?!"

Shadow couldn't believe what was happening. They were finally able to get Crystal Heart, but there had to be a trap! Shadow looked out and sees that Sombra has finally broken though. This can't be happening, so many lives will be lost. That's when something within him snapped With a look of determination, he turned to the others.

"I know what we're going to do." Shadow says as he trots over to the group. "Long Shot, can you protect Twilight from Sombra's minions if they come back?"

"You don't have to tell me twice." Long Shot says as he prepared his bow with ice arrows this time.

"Spike, you're going to be the one to take the Crystal Heart to the others." Shadow continues.

"What?!" Both Spike and Twilight yelled.

"Twilight, ponies' lives are at stake here. This is our only way to stop Sombra!"

Twilight and Spike looked at each other, then with determination on there faces, they nobbed.

"But wait," Twilight said. "What are you going to do?"

Shadow turns and walks over to edge and looks down at the approaching shadowy tyrant. "I'm going to hold off Sombra and buy you guys some time."

"WHAT?!" Everypony even Long Shot yells.

"Dude, even I know this is crazy for me to dare." Long Shot said.

"I know... Twilight, what ever happens, thank you and the girls for being my first friends." Shadow smiles softly.

"Shadow, WAIT!!" Twilight yells, but Shadow has already jumped off edge and straight towards the upcoming storm.

Sombra has finally broken through and was going to reclaim his Empire. All those years in the Artic North; trapped by those damn Royal Sisters, but all that was going to change.

Just then, a black dot was coming down at a alarming speed. Sombra was confused, but soon got a face covered in crystal shard s as the unidentified object come into view. It was that Enderpony from his last encounter standing in a small crater. This angered Sombra, now he has to deal with this again.

"You again?!" Sombra shouted.

"Yes, it's me." Shadow took a defensive stance. "And you are not going to harm any ponies or my friends!"

Sombra chuckled. "You don't stand against me mortal, but if you want to throw your life away, THEN SO BE!!"

"Bring it!"

Sombra turned solid again and charged at Shadow, but Shadow telelported out of sight. Sombra stopped and turned around, only to get punched in the face and sent flying. Sombra turned to shadow form and charged at Shadow again, only this time, he brought along a thundery storm along with him. Shadow tried to escape, but Sombra made his shot and black electricity formed around Shadow. Shadow couldn't move a muscle.

"This is where this fights end. Have a happy after-life." Sombra says as he shoots a purple and green beam at Shadow.

Shadow couldn't move, so he stayed and took the beam head-on. When it hit, he felt a lot of pain as his eyes turned from cloudy light purple into dark green and smoking purple. What Shadow saw next was memories of Minecrafters hunting him down and rejecting him, but what got him was an image of him in a cage made of iron bars and the girls just walking away with disgust in their faces. Shadow couldn't move as he was being pelted with rocks and stones by ponies.

Shadow's eye started to twitch wildly as he shot straight up and faced at a surprised Sombra.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!! I'LL KILL YOU!!! SCCCRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCHH!!!

Quicker than lightning, Shadow teleported right up to Sombra and started punching him in the face with speed that rivals Rainbow Dashe's. Sombra then summoned a dark force that made a shock wave enough to push Shadow away. Sombra shot another beam, this time at the ground. Black cyrstals started to rapidly rise and headed straight towards at his opponent. Shadow than quickly teleported away and charged at Sombra. Before the dark king can make a move, Shadow shot his open jaw into Sombra's neck.

Sombra screamed in pain as he turn into his shadow self, and escape his opponent's death grip. He slithered his away into a opening, but he started to flicker from his shadowy form and solid form as he turned his head towards Shadow.

What... are you?" Sombra asked with his voice filled with pain.

"My name is Shadow," Shadow says as his eyes glowed dark red. "And... I'm The Enderpony Master. Goodbye Sombra, I'll see you in the Nether."

Shadow then teleported to Sombra and lifted him. He then threw the shadowy king into the air, and with all of his energy left, he shot a bright purple beam at Sombra. It kept the tyrant in mid-air, only for the beam to completely go straight through from his chest and out from his back. The formal king then exploded with his armor and parts of him scattered around and faded from existence.

Shadow turned to the sky and made aloud victory screech that destroyed every window in the empire. Shadow feeling exhausted, turned around only to see a white light coming straight towards him. Soon, Shadow's vision turned white as he finally collapsed.

Author's Note

Turn in next week on another adventure of Minecraft Beginnings! :pinkiehappy:

Wait! Did he ripped of my bit?!! :pinkiegasp: :twilightangry2:

Chapter 9 - Okay, Who Spawned All These Pinkie Pies?!!

Crystal Empire

3rd Person Prov.

All Shadow sees is darkness, miles and miles of darkness with nothing in sight. That is, until a shadowy figure came out of nowhere.

"Oh, you came back for more?!" Shadow yelled.

The figure didn't answer as it slowly floats towards the now nervous Enderman.

"Oh you have chose the wrong Mob to fight, if you're hungry for trouble, I'm an All-You-Can Salad Bar! Take a bite!"

The figure then disappeared out of sight. Shadow was confused, was it just an illusion? Shadow turned around only to see the most terrifying face.

Shadow then screeched so loudly and started to teleport all over the place.

*Snicker

*Laughing

Shadow stopped at the sound of laughing and turned only to see a familiar person.

"Herobine?!!" Shadow shouts. "Is it really you?! If it's you, then WHAT THE BUCK?! THAT WAS SO NOT COOL!!!"

"Yes... it's me..." Herobrine says as he gasps for air. "You got to admit... that was funny... the look on your face... it was priceless."

Shadow then got a good look at Herobrine and it shocked him. Instead of his usual Steve-like self, he's an alicorn! His coat was skin color with brown mane and tail. He is also wearing purple pants with light blue shirt. His eyes were still glowing white like usual.

"Herobrine, why are you here, and why are you an alicorn?" Shadow asked.

"Well, I decided to take a vacation from my nagging brother, Notch." Herobrine explains." He doesn't like the idea of 'inviting' creepers to the Minecrafter Convention. I got to say, it was a... 'blast'."

"..."

"What?"

"Okay, stick to Trolling Minecrafters and stay away from comedy because that one just stunk."

"Screw you! I can be funny too! Anyway, I'm an alicorn because I want to. Deal with it."

"Fine... wait, since I'm here. Does this mean I'm dead?"

"No, you're just taking a nap and healing from that battle with King Sombra. Also, that light that hit you kinda helped your healing process since you're not evil."

"Oh, say, how did you know that?"

"I'm a god you noob!"

"Oh yeah."

"Anyway, it's time for you to wake up."

"Wait, what?"

Shadow didn't have enough time before a bright came into view and blinded him. When he woke up, he found himself in bed in a white room.

'This again?' Shadow thought. 'This is the third time I passed out.'

Just then, the doors across the room opened to reveal a familiar white unicorn with a cloaked figure. Along with two royal guards.

"So, I guess you're finally awake." Long Shot said. "Dude, what you did back there was hardcore."

"I have to agree with him here, but either way, thank you for saving the Crystal Empire." Shining Armor says as he turns to Long Shot. "And thank you for protecting my little sister, Twilight."

"It was nothing. Besides, I don't like to see a mare get hurt."

"Say, how do you guys know each other, and where are the girls?" Shadow asks as he gets out of bed.

"When you defeated Sombra, everything went back to normal. And the crystals ponies are all shiny and happy again. When me and Twilight got down and got back to the others. They were completely horrified when I took off my cloak in the castle, but things finally settled down when I've explain that I knew you. Twilight even told them of how I defended off those Shadow Minions. The pink one was really eager to throw me a party, which I accepted. I soon met Shining Armor thanks to Twilight."

"The girls wanted to stay and check on you, but I told them that you and your friend here can stay in the Crystal Empire. They agreed and soon head back towards Ponyville."

"Oh..." Shadow was I little sad.

"But they did left this for you before they left." Long Shot says as he levitates a letter into Shadow's purple grasp.

Dear Shadow

Me and the girls are happy to know that you're feeling well. I wished we could of stayed, but my brother Shining Armor says that you and Long Shot can stay with him and Cadence till you fully recover. We'll be waiting for you and Long Shot back in Ponyville. Hope you have a good time.

Your Friend,
Twilight Sparkle

P.S. Pinkie says she will throw you a party afterwards.

Shadow felt better now that he knows that they care. He hopes that image from the battle will never come true. He must never go back to being neglected.

'...Never...' Shadow slightly thought.

"So, since you're still in Community Service, why don't you help us out with the repairs in the empire." Shining said.

"Sure, you let me and Long Shot stay here for the day. We'll be glad to help." Shadow replied.

"Good, you can start by replacing those windows you shattered." He says as he points a hoof at a hole in the wall.

Shadow looked through it and his eye twitched. Over a mile of houses has shattered windows.

'This is going to take awhile' Shadow sighed in his mind.

Meanwhile, at the train station, the Mane 6 and Spike included were waiting for their next train to arrive.

"Hooey! Now that was some adventure." Applejack said.

"I know, but did you see Shadow back there? He was all like POW, POW, ZAP, ZAP, and CHOMP!" Rainbow Dash says as she tries to mimic the battle while flying.

"I have to admit, it was amazing that he took out King Sombra without the Crystal Heart. Although, there was something off back there." Twilight said.

"What do you mean, Darling?" Rarity asks.

"Well, did you see how he fought? At first, he was fighting to defend, but then, he started do it out of anger. It didn't seem it was from Sombra's rampage, but it was like it was... something else." Twilight says worried.

"Now sugercube, I'm sure that it was nothing, but if you feel this way, then we'll talk to Shadow when him and Long Shot gets back." Applejack says as she puts a hoof around Twilight.

"I guess you're right."

"I can't wait to get back to Ponyville!" Pinkie cheered. "Not only do I get to throw a 'Welcome to Ponyville' and 'Manticore Surviver' party for Shadow, but now I could throw a 'Hero of Crystal Empire' and 'Welcome to Ponyville Shadow's New Friend' party for both Shadow and Long Shot! You what it mean?!"

"What?" Asked Fluttershy.

"It means that it's a quadruple (Means 4X's I think) party pack!" Pinkie says as she bounces with joy.

The girls giggled at Pinkie's antics as they aboard the Friendship Express in their private car. Little did they know that a pair of slime covered ponies sneaked their way into the caboose.

A Few Hours Later...

The girls and dragon finally got back to and went on to do their business after their long train ride, but two individuals sneaked their way off the train and headed for the park. The two ponies stopped and look around at their surroundings.

"Man, this is the weirdest place in Craftia." Says a light-green slime stallion. "First, we get turn into mini horses, then the field we woke up in turn from a snow into a plain biome, and now everything is round. Hopefully, that Witch got us to our destination."

The stallion has a dark green coat with a hint of blue with lime mane and tail. He is also covered in slime. His cutie mark is a picture of slime oozing.

"Shh! Quite Justin! I'm trying to give this horse the stink eye and you're letting her win!" A mare says as she crouches over a bench and stares at a puddle.

The mare has a green coat with dark green mane and tail. She was also covered in slime. Her cutie mark is a picture of a slime ball.

"Uhh... Yo? That's a puddle you're staring at."

Yo blinked a few times before the gears in her head started working.

"Oh yeah! Sorry for giving you the stink eye." She giggled at the puddle.

Justin blinked at his sister. "Right... well, are you hungry? I'm sure am." He says as his stomach bubbles.

"Yeah, I'm getting famished. Hey! Lets head over there! I see lots of stuff there!" Yo points at Markets.

"Alight, let's head over there."

They both head over to market were they receive some strange looks from some ponies. They soon get to a stand that was being tended by a big red stallion with a small yellow filly with a bow nearby.

"Hello there, can we please have some apples." asked Justin.

"Sure... say, I don't think I've seen you around these parts before." Big Mac said.

"Yeah, we're new around here and we thought that we gets something to eat."

"Well, since you're new around here, I'll give you 5 apples on the house."

"For real?! Thanks! ...but I don't have any emeralds to trade with."

"Emeralds? We don't really take emeralds around here."

"What?"

"You don't know what's the currency here? You two must really new then. Well, around here in Equestria, we use bits as currency and emeralds or other gem types as trades, but they aren't really worth much."

"You mean those round golden things ponies that are giving to each other over at the stands?"

"Eeyup"

"Alright... how do we get some?"

"Well, that's easy." Apple Bloom says. "You just need to get a job and earn them. Also, why are you two are sticky." She pokes Yo.

"Now Apple Bloom, it ain't nice to poke other ponies." Big Mac said.

'So that's what we're called.' Justin thought.

"It's okay, she was just curious." Yo giggled.

"Well, it was nice meeting you..."

"My name is Big Macintosh, but you can call me Big Mac." He says as he shakes a now wet hoof with Justin.

"And my name is Apple Bloom." She says as well.

"It's nice to meet you two. I'm Justin, and this is my twin sister, Yo."

"HI!" Yo cheerfully says."

"Well, see you later."

"Sure thing mister. Come again!" Apple Bloom waves at them.

The Slimer Twins walked away from the now packing up apple stand and found a spot to eat their lunch.

"Well, that was pleasant back there." Justin comments.

"They were really nice." Yo says as she swallows an apple whole. "But, when are we going to find the place?"

"We'll find it soon. Then we can live with that Minecrafter we heard about. What was his name again?"

"Captain Sparklez!"

"Right, that's it."

"But, how are we going to find him?"

"There was a tree he named after a slime, Jerry. So, we need to find a tree somewhere."

"Justin, there are trees everywhere. How do you know which one is it?"

"We just need to find one that is really big. Since, Caption Sparklez is one of those Minecrafters, it's gotta be unique looking."

"Guess you're right. Also, what are we going to do since ponies here us golden nuggets for currency?"

"We just need to get a job somewhere and earn some."

"If we have to, then I want one were I can give joy to kids. They're so cute when they play behind their screens." Yo giggled.

Justin once again blinks at his twin sister.

"Yo is just being Yo." He muttered.

"So, are we ready for our adventure?"

"Sure thing, brother!"

The Slimer Twins finished their lunch and set off to their mission. They walked along the streets, looking for their tree. So far, nothing helped. They would ask for some directions, but only to get strange looks. Hours past and they stop to take a break.

"It's no use, we'll never find it anywhere." Yo says upset.

"Don't give up. We'll find it eventually." Justin tries to comfort.

"It's just... I want to have a home already... a safe one..." Yo says as a single slime drips down her cheek.

Justin comes over and hugs her. He felt as bad as his twin sister. The biome they come from was too dangerous and had many other Minecrafters that want their parts for making tools and what not. Just then, two ponies come into view.

"Excuse me, is there something wrong here?" Asked a grey mare with a long straight mane.

"Yeah, you two seemed bummed out of something." Said a white mare with a wild blue mane.

"It's just that we were looking for the place to meet a certain someone we heard about, but we couldn't find it and my sister just got a little sad." Justin explains as he releases Yo.

"Well, you two want.... I suppose you can live with us until you find what you're looking for." Octavia offers.

"Yeah, you two can bunk with us. It will be rad!" Said Vinyl.

"You two are letting us stay in you home? " Yo asked.

"It would be my pleasure to help you two." Octavia smiled.

"Gee, thanks, there's got to be a way to repay you two." Justin says happily.

"If you want, you could help us around the house. It's gets pretty messy sometimes."

"No problem... oh, where are my manners? My name is Justin and this is my twin sister, Yo."

"It's a pleasure to meet you two. My name is Octavia Melody, and this my roommate-"

"-Vinyl Scratch! Also known as DJ Pon3!" Vinyl interrupted loudly.

"Thank you so much for taking us in!" Yo, cheered.

Just then, a whole pack of hopping pink ponies came by and started heading far off to the hills. This got Yo's attention as she goes after the run away party ponies.

"Yo! What in the nether are you doing?!" Justin yells.

"I want to have fun too~!" She says as she rides off into the distance.

Justin turns the two mares. "I'm sorry, but I got to get my sister back. I'll catch you later."

"No worries. Just head over to town hall and ask for directions to our house. The mayor could help you with that."

With a nob, Justin turns the other way and gallops towards the same direction with the pink herd.

"They seem nice." Octavia said.

"Yeah... you know, I think you like that Justin guy." Vinyl says with a smirk.

"Pray tell, what makes you say that." Octavia says with a frown.

"I saw the way you were looking at him back there Octy."

With a huff, Octavia turns and walks off into the markets with a smirking Vinyl in tow.

Twilight's Prov.

Me and the girls were having one heck of a day. First, Pinkie used the magic pond and cloned herself to have fun with all of us, but it backfired. Then, we had to deal with a Pinkie Pie invasion in Ponyville, and now we lost track of her and she could be any of the other Pinkie Pies. Luckily, I had a plan to put every thing back to normal. Right now, me and the others are waiting for the stampede of party ponies to arrive.

Just then, they finally arrived with their usual excitement for fun. But there was something off though. I soon see a green mare in the group with a green stallion standing at the doorway.

3rd Person Prov.

Yo was having a fun time with the pink herd. Although, she doesn't know why they stopped in a red barn.

"Um, excuse me... but, where's the fun?!"

"FUN?!"

All the Pinkie Pies turned around and acknowledged the said phrase from the slime pony. With a quick thought, Twilight's horn charged and all the Pinkie Pies disappears with only one that is frowning is left. Girls felt happy and was about to hug their real friend, but soon got a face full of slime in thier faces. They turn to see the mysterious slime covered duos they forgot about staring. One was standing in a fighting stances with a ball of slime in one hoof, while the other was cowering behind.

"If you think you can trap us and take us apart, then you are mistaken!" Justin threatened.

"Hey! I don't know who you two are, but we weren't trying to trap anypony!" Said Twilight.

"Well, it was a trap for the other fake Pinkie Pies." Spike adds.

"Not helping!"

Just then, a sound came form outside of the barn. They all turned and saw Shadow and Long Shot (In a new grey cloak) back from the Crystal Empire.

"Finally, we're back! That was a lot of work back there." Long Shot complained.

"You do realized that since this isn't Craftia, glass blocks couldn't of worked." Shadow said.

"How was I suppose to know it would be different."

"At least they gave us something to eat."

"I'm a skeleton you noob. I can't bucking eat a thing."

"No need for language man, jeez."

They turn around see the girls covered in slime with two slime covered ponies looking in shock.

"Okay, forget what I said. What the buck is going on around here?!"

Author's Note

Hello, it's me, The EnderPony Master!

I wanted to say that I'm sorry for so many delays. I had to make a lot of decisions about my workers, and had to rewrite the whole thing from scratch since my last was deleted by a curtain individual I know.

Also, I see that no one didn't do the contest I mention before. That's kind of a downer.

On another note, I will be publishing chapters when they are ready. I thought I could keep up and send them each weekend, but school has been getting to me, and I'm limited on internet where I am. I hope you liked the chapter and I'll try to hold up back here.

Speaking of chapters, I will be making a BONUS Chapter up next. Something to give a the Halloween Spirit a push. And it's thanks to you readers out there for 50 likes. Keep this up till 100 or more and I will make more BONUS Chapters, or when a holiday starts too.

See you Bronies and Pegisisters next time on Minecraft Beginnings. AND HAVE A WONDERFUL LATE NIGHTMARE NIGHT!!!

BONUS Chapter #1 - Happy Nightmare Night! (Edited)

Tonight was going to be a grand night for everypony in Ponyville. Tonight is the Holiday of Nightmare Night. All the fillies and colts are already trick-or-treating door to door; the adults are finishing setting up stands and games; and the preparation for Princess Luna is getting organized.

Right now, our heroes and their new mob friends are preparing for the event. The gang are currently at Rarity's place getting into their costumes while the mobs are downstairs discussing.

"I can't wait for Nightmare Night!" Cheered Yo. "I especially can't wait to help out with the Haunted Trail ride with Big Mac. I get to lead those cute little fillies and colts through the spooky ride!"

"Are you sure that you can handle this, Yo?" Asked Justin. "Last time you get scared stiff, you separated yourself and made two of you."

"I can be brave too! I was just surprised last time." Yo countered.

"I can't wait for this holiday too. All those fresh meats out there to scare." Long Shot smiled evilly.

"Don't over do it, Shot." Shadow warned. " I might be excited to tend to this holiday as much as the next mob, but if you're going on a scaring heist, then make sure your jump scares make scream instead of cry. The last thing we need is to prove to them that we're monsters."

"Uhh... we are monsters." Justin corrects.

"I meant as savage, mindless, and dangerous monsters."

"Oh."

With that last statement, the Mobs heard the girls upstairs opening the door and coming down. When they came down, the Mobs looked interested in their costume. Shadow on the other hoof was blushing at the sight of Twilight's. Applejack was dressed in a viking costume with a matching hat and metal boots. Rainbow Dash mane, tail, and coat was dyed with the color of black and brown. Her cutie mark was tapped over with a picture of a compass. She was also wearing matching adventurer's hat and vest. She is dressed as Daring Do. Rarity is dressed as a vampire mistress. Fluttershy as a giant ladybug. Pinkie Pie as a shark. Twilight was wasn't wearing a costume, but her mane and tail were dyed light purple. Her usual lavender colored coat was dyed completely pitch white. She was going as a female Enderpony.

"What do you think? Like our costumes?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"You all look awesome!" Yelled Yo.

"Much better than those Minecrafters'" Long Shot complimented.

"I don't know which is who!" Justin joked.

"..."

The Mobs turned too see Shadow blushing even more.

"Uhh... wow... you chose to be a female Enderpony, Twilight?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah, ever since you told me more about your kind, I thought it would the best time to become one." Twilight explains. "So, what do you think?"

"There are so many things to describe you right now, and I say that you look amazing."

Twilight blushed from the compliment.

"What are we waitng for? Let's go!" Yo declares.

With final checks, our heroes and Mobs head out into the night. As they trot, they were greeted by smiling and waving ponies. Long Shot, on the other hoof, was getting nervous glances by other ponies. This made him a bit down. Ever since the small group of Mobs were properly introduced to the town, they ponies have been a little cautious. Soon, they got used to them, except for Long Shot as his intimidating figure always puts a pony uneasy.

As, they get to their destination to town square where all the stands a almost done getting set up, they were greeted by a pack of fillies and colts. They were the first ponies to get to meet the Mob Squad. They had so many questions and more. They were even excited enough that they all decided to dress up like them. There were 4 groups; one's a group of Slimer Ponies; second's a group of Skeleton Ponies; third's a group of Mini Enderponies; finally was the fourth group of all the other Mobs they thought was cool. Soon enough, 3 familiar fillies came into the front of the pack.

"Hey! We finally found you four!" Apple Bloom said in her Slime costume.

"Yeah! This night wouldn't be excited enough without you guys. I mean, you're all like the real deal." Scootaloo said in her Skeleton costume.

"I can't wait to get all the candy!" Sweetie Bell cheers in her female Enderpony make-up just like Twilight's.

"Didn't you all went trick-or-treating?" Asked Twilight.

"Some of us did and we were planning on heading to the festival in town. The rest wanted to go trick-or-treating with you guys."

"I don't know, girls. The others were planning going to the festival and-"

"I would love to take you kids trick-or-treating." Shadow offers.

"Are you sure, Shadow?" Asked Justin.

"Yeah, it's a good time to go walking this night anyway. You guys go on without me and I'll catch up to you all later."

"If your going out, I would like to come along."

"You do?" Shadow thanked Herobrine that she didn't noticed his blush.

"I do, this would be a perfect time to show my costume. Hopefully, the other ponies will recognize it better that last year. This will be fun!"

Suddenly, Long Shot had an evil idea. "Come on, Shadow. Don't leave your wife and children waiting." He laughed.

Shadow blushed even more as he turn to see a now blushing Twilight with the said Ender-dressed smiling children.

"Wait, what about the others?" Asked Shadow.

"Oh, the others already went trick-or-treating. The ones that are dressed as you and Twilight didn't. They wanted to go with you in the first place." Sweetie Bell explained.

With that, the two groups went there separate ways. The Mobs went to the middle of town to help set up the festival, while Team Enders are hunting for candy deliciousness. But unknown to them, something was lurking in the shadows near the edge of the Everfree Forest.

The festival was going as planned, especially with the help of the Mobs. There were stands set up with games of Spider Toss, Apple Bobbing, and etc... The Mobs were at the candy apple stand where the gang were hanging out.

"This going to so much fun tonight!" Yo and Pinkie Pie cheered.

"I know right, this will be better than Halloween in Craftia." Long Shot said.

"Say, weren't you planning on scaring some ponies tonight?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Uh... yeah. Why?"

"Then count me in! I wanted a pranking partner this year, and you look like you can give a fright."

"Oh... you have no idea..."

Just then, Big Mac came trotting towards the group. "Hey, everypony. You all look spooky tonight. Say, Ms. Yo, the wagon is ready for the Haunted Trail ride."

"Oh! Sorry guys, I got to go." Yo announced.

"Just try not to slime yourself like last year in Craftia." Justin warned.

"Relax, I got this Bro."

With that, the farm and slime pony went to get the wagon set up with a crowd of children in tow. Suddenly, there was thunder and lighting raging through the sky. Soon, a carriage pulled by Bat-Pony guards came landing. It was none other than Princess Luna.

"GREETINGS MY LOYAL SUBJECTS, IT IS I, PRINCESS LUNA HERE TO ENJOY TONIGHT'S FESTIVAL OF NIGHTMARE NIGHT!." She says in her Canterlot Voice.

The ponies have gotten used to Luna's loud voice when everything was sorted out last Nightmare Night. They cheered as they bowed or waved. Luna smiled back and walked towards the group of familiar and new Mobs.

"Greetings, I don't suppose that we have met before." She says as she looks at Justin and Long Shot.

"They were new around here in Equestria. They are one of Shadow's new friends" Applejack explained.

"Oh, it is nice to meet thy newcomers. What are your names?"

"My name is Long Shot and this is my friend, Justin. He has a twin sister name, Yo. She is currently with a farm pony name, Big Macintosh for the Haunted Trail ride."

"I see, is thou known as a Mob?"

"Uh... yeah."

"Well, it is nice to meet other friendly Mobs."

"It's nice to meet the Princess of the Night. Without you, I would be nothing without your beautiful night."

Luna blushed from the compliment.

SSSCCCRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!

Suddenly, a loud screech was heard through out the town. Everypony turn to see a pissed-off Enderpony and Slenderpony. One was thrashing with its forearms while the other is repeatedly whipping with its tentacles.

"What in Tartarus is that creature?!" Luna yelled.

Her answer never came as Long Shot and Justin went into action to try to break it up.

10 Minutes Earlier

The Ender Duos were having a peaceful night taking the fillies and colts to each house for candy. The next house they went to, they stayed at behind while the kids went ahead to the door.

"Isn't it a beautiful night?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, it's a lot more brighter that the moon in Craftia." Shadow replied.

"Shadow, what did Long Shot mean by wife and kids?"

"Well... I didn't mention this before during our last session, but in The End. The average Enderman or in this case, Enderpony couple can have about 3 to 4 offsprings. Though, it won't last long, as about 1 month later when the offspring is strong enough lift a block and can control their teleportation, they leave The End and head over to the Overworld to start their new lives. The process repeats itself as it goes on maybe 3 times before they stop and settle in."

"That's very interesting. Wait, don't you spend time with your brothers and sisters?"

That is what got Shadow's to lose the mood.

"...I... never knew them... I was by myself when I was born. Our guardian, The Ender Dragon took care of me for a while before I was sent to the Overworld. I was scared at first, but when I looked into the full moon for the first time, I felt safe. I then continue my life to look for more things that seem pretty to me."

Shadow closed his eyes and hung his head as memories of The Ender Dragon taking care of him crossed his mind. Just then, he felt something soft wrapped around him. Shadow opened his eyes and blushed when he saw Twilight hugging him. She looked up and stared into his eyes.

"I'm sorry you had to go though something like that. At least you have friends that will look out for each other."

Shadow felt a lot better and wraps both of his arms around Twilight, holding her in place. He looks into her eyes as they shine in the night.

"Your eyes look beautiful under the moonlight." Shadow says a little nervous.

"Thank you... nopony has never said that to me before." Twilight replies.

They looked at each blushing, still holding each other. Slowly, they inch closer together as their muzzles were only an inch.

AHH!

SOMEPONY!

HELP!!

The Ender Duo quickly separated and turn to see a tall shadowy figure holding the panicking children in some kind of tentacles. The sight made Shadow angry. Something within him snapped into action.

"Don't you dare touch them!! SSSCCCRRREEEEEEEEEECH!!"

Shadow charged and rammed into dark figure. On impact, it lost its grip on the fillies and colts as they flew into the air. Twilight quickly caught them and levitated them to safety. Just then, Zecora came galloping towards the group while wearing her brown cloak.

"Twilight Sparkle, what a surprise. If it weren't for your friend, the children would met their own demise." Zecora says in a rhyme.

"Zecora, thank goodness you're here! Can you look out for the children? I need to help Shadow!" Twilight said.

"Fear not Twilight, I will watch over them. Now go, go help your friend, before he meets his end!"

With a nob, Twilight raced down towards the middle of town and sees both tall ponies fighting to the finish.

Now

Both Long Shot and Justin went into action and tried to pry off the Slenderpony. Slender used his spare tentacles to whip off his two new opponents off. He then continues to thrash while Shadow bites down on his throat. It doesn't hurt much, but it still stings.

The gang and princess galloped towards the fallen Mobs.

"Oh my goodness! Are you two okay?" Fluttershy asks concern for her friends.

"And what is that vile creature?!" Asked Rarity.

"We're fine, and that what you saw was Slenderman, or in this case Slenderpony." Justin explains. "Some of us heard about him being a mod or some creation by the Minecrafters in Craftia."

"Is there a way to vanquish it?" Luna asks.

"I don't know, all we know is that it's literally a living nightmare that haunts your dreams and eats souls of his victims."

Luna then started thinking till something popped into her head.

"I now a spell that will rid of this monster, but I need it to stay still enough and your friend their needs to get out of the way." Luna explains.

"Leave that to us Princess." Justin says as him and Long Shot run towards the fighting figures.

Justin ran next to the two and turned to a slime puddle. Both Shadow and Slender fell onto the puddle as they separate. Shadow was then wrapped in a rope as Applejack pulls him out of the brawl with her lasso. Slender tries to get he remaining slime goo off of his suit. He turns only to see an angry Skeleton Pony pointing an arrow at him.

"Have a Happy Nightmare Night bucker"

Long Shot then shot his arrow and hit Slender in the sides. Slender tried to move, only to be filled with electricity. Long Shot enchanted his arrow to paralyze. Luna then gotten the chance and shot a beam at Slender. He started to spaz out and a bright light fill the area, blinding everypony. Once it stopped, everypony looked and see only the suit in place. Twilight came running towards the group that surrounded Shadow.

"Shadow! Are you okay?!" Said Twilight.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Only a couple of slashes, but I'll live. Thank you guys back there for the help." Shadow said.

"It was nothing, we Mobs have to stick together you know." Long Shot says as he puts his bow away.

"Shadow, that was brave you to stand up for children like that." Twilight says as she nuzzles Shadow, who was now blushing a bit.

Just then, a whole pack of mini Enderponies came running towards the two piled them. They were thanking Shadow and Twilight for saving them from Slendermane as they nicknamed the previous monster. Long Shot then gotten the perfect opportunity.

"Will you look at that, the Ender-Couple have reunited with the family." He laughed along with gang.

Both Twilight and Shadow blushed dark red as they looked each other. Soon, they joined in on the laugh as they were being hugged by their giggling 'children'. Shadow said to himself before that he will have good night, but this was by far the best night he ever had.

Chapter 10 - One Bad Player (Part 1)

It took about an hour later for the Slimer Twins introduce themselves and explain why did they slimed the Mane 6 and how did they get to Equestria. Turns out, they really needed a new home because their previous one gotten invested with new Minecrafters. They even attempted to kill them to gain their parts. They wouldn't be alive now if it weren't for Justin. Now normally, a Slime wouldn't really put up a brawl, but Justin has determination and will do anything to keep his sister safe.

How they got to Equestria? Well, they soon came across a Witch and asked if she could help them get to their destination to Caption Sparklez. She said that she will help, but they soon found themselves in an unfamiliar place in the snow biome. When everything turned into some sort of plains biome, they snuck into Friendship Express so they wouldn't draw attention. A lot of stuff happened and here they are.

"So that's how we're here." Justin finished.

"Oh, you poor things. I'm sorry you two lost your homes." Fluttershy says feeling sorry for Slimer Twins.

"It's no one's fault except for those damn Minecrafters. They're pretty much more superior than us Mobs, so there isn't much we can do."

"But now we can head over to Caption Sparklez and we can finally be safe!" Yo cheered.

"uh... I'm sorry to say this, but he's not here guys." Shadow says nervously.

"What do you mean? He's got to be here. The Witch said that she will take us there!" Justin said with doubt to Shadow's words.

"Look, this isn't Craftia anymore. This is Equestria, and there are no Minecrafters here."

Justin and Yo looked shocked and heart-broken. Their journey has come to a halt by some dumb trick they felt for.

"No! This can't be! We can't be stuck here!" Justin yells.

"Now we'll never be safe!" Yo screams as she starts sobbing on the ground, curled up as a slime ball.

"Hey... it's okay... you're safe here in Equestria." Long Shot tries to cheer up. (Still in his black cloak)

"How do you know that?!" Justin protested. "Everywhere we go, we get hunted down and almost get killed by those bucking, Mob killing, parasites!!"

"Dude, calm down! There's-"

"NO! I'M NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN!! THIS IS BULL****! I WAS SO STUPID ENOUGH TO TRUST A WITCH!! I JUST WANTED MY SISTER TO BE SAFE, BUT NOOOOOO!!! HEROBRINE HAD TO BE A B****, AND RUIN EVERYTHING!!!"

Justin then morphed into something that surprised the Mobs and scared the girls and dragon. Justin's slimy texture vanished and was replaced by magma. His mane and tail then turned into intense flames as they flare from his body with pure rage. He turned into a Magma Pony.

"Alright now! That's enough!"

Everypony then turned around to follow the voice and saw an angry Big Macintosh.

"Big Mac! What are you doing here?" Asked Applejack.

"Ah heard a lot of yelling and screaming, and I went to see what's wrong." Big Mac explained. "Now, listen here partner, I may not now what's your problem, but ya'll need to clam down!"

"Calm down? Calm down?! Why should I 'calm down' when everything is going down in blitz for me?!!" Justin yelled with anger.

"...cause... your scaring your little sister..." Big Mac said with a glare.

Justin turned and all his rage then disappeared at what he saw. His sister,Yo, was cowering on the ground, making herself as small as possible. She was making a river of her own tears and slime mix together, as she quietly whimpers. She was completely terrified. Justin then looked himself and hung his head. He then slowly started morphing back to his slime-covered self. He then slowly trots over to his sister.

"Hey... sis?"

With a scared yelp, Yo then ran past him and hid besides Big Mac. Justin was so devastated. He now realized that he took it too far. For the first time ever, his sister was scared of him. He was Mob... He was a Monster...

With a sigh, Justin turned around and trotted towards the exit with his hanging down.

"Justin-"

"No... I, need to be alone for a while... I... got to rethink everything for a bit..." Justin says not looking back.

There was moment of silent until Shadow broke it.

"Well... that was... eventful. I say it's best if we all went home."

Everypony looked at each other and nobbed started heading home, till Big Mac looked at a still curled slime ball on the ground next to him.

"Say, Miss Yo... do you want to stay here at Sweet Apple Acres tonight?"

Yo then got up and nob before she nuzzles a now slime-covered,blushing, Big Mac. As Applejack leads Yo to the house, Bic Mac then put his hoof where Yo just nuzzle him. It was slightly covered in slime.

'Oh, What did I gotten myself into?' He thought as he heads out the exit.

It was evening when Twilight, Spike, Long Shot, and Shadow got back the treehouse. They all set on the couch after a long day of Pinkie Pie wrangling and repairing.

"Nice place you got here." Long Shot said.

"Thanks, I do like it here." Twilight replied.

"So, what do you guys think going to happen with Justin? He did made a scene back their."

"I'm not sure, but I'm going to find him. Maybe I can patch things up." Shadow says as he gets up and heads for the door.

"Just be careful, Shadow." Twilight called out.

With a nob, Shadow then went out the door and teleported around town. Twilight on the other hand smiled towards Long Shot.

"Well, since you're here, I was wondering if you answer a couple of my questions."

"Uh, sure... it won't take long." He replied.

Twilight then went upstairs and came back down with a really, really long list of never lasting questions.

'Ah, Buck Me!'

Shadow have been looking around town and came with little luck. He even ask some remaining ponies that are still out, and they say that they saw him going into the forest. With a sigh, Shadow teleported into the Everfree Forest. He has to admit, it was more creepier than the forests in his world at night. Though, that didn't stop him, he dealt with worse. Soon he stepped on puddle. He looked and saw that it was made of slime. He was close somewhere. Shadow then looked around and saw the remains of the Manticore he beaten.

"Glad nopony, especially Fluttershy, seen this." Shadow said to himself.

"At least you made it so much easier for me."

Shadow quickly turned around and saw no one.

"Hello?! Who's there?!" Shadow called out

With moment of silent, the mystery pony then came into view. Shadow nearly yelp at what he saw. There in front of him was pony like no other. It was something that he didn't expect. It was a Spider Pony.

Chapter 10 - One Bad Player (Part 2)

In some cases, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade out of them; but when it gives you a pony sized spider that came literally out of nowhere and is thanking you for making an easy meal for it... well, I think we all know how we would react. To Shadow, it wasn't everyday that somepony comes up to you and compliments something so barbaric. He doesn't know if he should feel completely terrified and teleport away, or take pride in something that would piss off Fluttershy in the future. Either way, this was really awkward.

"Oh, were are my manners? My name is Wild Style, and I was just saying thank you for the meal." The Spider Pony said.

"Uh... your welcome?" Shadow said uncertain.

"So, what brings you here in the forest this evening?"

"Uh, I was trying to find my friend that stormed off somewhere out here, when I bumped into you."

"That's interesting... you know, it's been awhile since I've seen another Mob when I came to this place."

"How did you came here in the first place?"

"Well..."

Craftia

I was just minding my own business. Sucking the blood from the throats of Minecrafters that got caught by my webs. It really enjoyable to see and hear my preys struggle and plea for their lives.

"Now dearies, stop struggling please. It really ruins my appetite if I can't hold you in place." The giant Spider said wrapping another one of her preys.

"You're fucking sick! Let us go you fucking four-eyes!" One of them screamed with anger.

"For your information, it is rude to curse at a girl; and I have ten eyes thank you very much you noob."

The miner growled in reply and went back to struggling furiously. As Wild Style continues to suck the blood of her now wrapped prey dry, she doesn't realized that there was a flash of light at the entrance of the tunnel. There stood Minecraft's biggest troll we all know and love.

"Well, I've blown up a village; set up a lave pit under the main spawn points; and replaced the healing potions with poison at the brewing store. All that, and I'm still bored out of my mind." Herobrine says with barely any interest. "I can't really go visit my brother's mansion after the last party. I mean, how was I suppose to know that gun powder does mix with punch?"

Herobrine then looks around and sees one of his creation enjoying its catch.

"You know, I think Shadow might be lonely up there with those pony." He suddenly gotten an idea. "I think I found my entertainment for the week."

With a swift of his hand, Herobrine then summons a portal that caught the female spider by surprise as she falls gets sucked in and leaves the now shocked and relieved remaining survivors.

"I can't wait to see the look on Shadow's face when he sees her." He says excitedly.

As Herobrine was about to leave, he heard shouts of joy from the remaining Minecrafters from inside the dimly lit cave. With an evil grin, he snaps his fingers and summons a Mob spawner the made hundreds of poisonous cave spider appear out of nowhere and surround the now terrified miners. Instead of teleporting away like usual, Herobrine slowly walks out of the cave that is now filled with screams of the now dying.

"Sweet music to my pixelated ears." He chuckles.

Equestria, Everfree Forest

"...And that's how I ended up here in this forest." Wild Style explains. "I've been in this forest all day and couldn't get anything to eat. Until, I found that carcass over there. Which I say, thank you again."

"That's both terrifying and awesome at the same time." Shadow said.

"Well, if you want, I could help you find your friend. It's the least I could do since you gotten me something to eat."

"Really? Thank you! That will save me some time."

"So, what does he look like?"

"Well, he's like the inhabitants that live here, he's covered in slime, and his name is Justin."

"Wait, did you say slime?"

"Yeah he's a Mob that too got sent here. Him and his twin sister came here to look for a new place to live. When... something... happened and he stormed off."

"There are more Mobs here?!"

"Well, the only current Mobs here that I know so far is me, my name is Shadow the Enderpony by the way, the Slimer Twins, Justin and Yo, a Skeleton Pony, Long Shot, and now you, the Spider Pony."

"Do you think we'll see other Mobs in the future?"

"I don't know, I'm going to have to ask Herobrine about it in my dreams tonight if he shows up."

"Well, you're just in luck. You may not know it, not only us spiders are great climbers and jumpers, but we have an excellent sense of smell to track our preys. Do you have something that can give me his scent?"

"Uh... yeah! I stepped on his slime trail earlier." Shadow lifts his front foreleg. "Will this do?"

The spider turned half-pony sniffs Shadow's hoof and her eyes shots open. She turns around and sniffs the air as she faces a specific direction.

"Right this way my new Ender-friend. You friend isn't far from here."

"Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way!"

With a nob, both Mobs set out to find the missing Slime in the spooky forest as the sun finally sets in the horizon. Hopefully, they can find Justin before someone or something does.

BONUS Chapter #2 - A New Light in the Galaxy

This chapter takes place in Ponyville during the "Power Ponies" episode. Spike didn't go, as Shadow went instead. Hope you all enjoy.

It was another day in Ponyville as the ponies are enjoying their day as usual. Right now, our favorite dragon, Spike, was just finishing dusting the Golden Oak Library. He was glad that Shadow went with the girls to the Twin Sisters Castle. It was boring over there. There wasn't really anything interesting that would get his attention. Feeling his duty to save Shadow from the wrath of boredom, he lend the Enderpony his latest comic of "Power Ponies" Although Shadow was a bit confused as to why he would need a comic book for entertainment, he still thank the little dragon for it. Besides, he thought he would get bored anyway. He did go to many castles a lot in Craftia.

Anyway, as Spike was finishing on tidying the last part of the library, he heard a noise come from the kitchen. He then gotten down from the ladder he used for support, Spike made his way into the kitchen where he sees a familiar scaled friend going through the fridge.

"Galaxy?! What are you doing?! I just cleaned that!" Spike yelled

"I'm just looking for something to eat. I'm famished." Galaxy replied.

Galaxy Bright has been living with Twilight and Spike for about a week ever since his arrival. He somehow, mysteriously appeared out of nowhere when Twilight became an Alicorn that night. His backstory didn't really made any sense. He claimed that he was minding his own business, till the next thing he knew he was there. The others seemed rather confused and suspicious that he doesn't know how he ended up in Equestria in the first place. For his appearance, and to the surprise from everyone, he was a small dragon just like Spike. Actually, he's pretty much is Spike look-alike. Except, instead of the baby dragon's natural lavender scales and emerald green eyes and spikes, he has tar black scales with midnight purple eyes and grey spikes. He is also taller that Spike by 5 inches. He's even older then Spike too. ( I can't really pin-point the age ratio on pony and dragon years. Sorry.)

"You just ate a daisy sandwich a few minutes ago."

"~And, it wasn't enough. I'm still hungry."

Spike is not really in a mood to deal with Galaxy's complaints. He was about tell the rude house-mate what for when a knock came from the door.

"*Groan* I'm going to get that. Please clean this mess up."

To Spikes annoyance, Galaxy just shrugged in reply. Spike walked over to the door to reveal a familiar crossed-eyed mare.

"Oh! Hi Derpy!" Spike greeted.

"Hi Spike!" Derpy replied cheerfully. "I came to deliver a package to... Galaxy Bright."

"Package? What did he-"

"-Ah yeah! It's here! Thanks Derpy!" Galaxy said as he took the package.

"You're welcome, have a nice day you two!" She says as she flies off, almost crashing into a nearby tree.

The reptile duo went back inside, but Spike was curious to what was in the box.

"Say, what's in the package?" Spike asked.

"Just a little something to make this day more awesome."

Spike wasn't sure what was Galaxy was talking about until he saw a pair of very familiar jewels that sent shivers down his spines.

"The Alicorn Amulet?! I thought we gotten rid of that!" Spike yelled in panick.

"Spike, cool your fins." Bright said bluntly. "This one is different from the one that 'Trixie' pony had. This one gives of good intentions instead of darker ones."

Spike seemed to be interested know. "Where did you even get this?"

"Oh... let's just say that I've got connections."

D.D.S.

Dimensional Delivery Services

*RING

*CLINK "Hello, this is the Dimensional Delivery Services, Rosalinda speaking..."

"Hi, I would like to order one pair of Light Alicorn Amulets, dragons special please."

"Oh, certainly. Would you like it gift wrapped?"

"Umm... no thank you."

"Very well, what is your address?"

"My address is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Equis, Equestria, Ponyville, and at the Golden Oak Library."

"Thank you, your package will arrive in 30 minutes. Have a nice day."

"Thanks, and you too."

*CLINK

*RING

*CLINK "Hello, this is the Dimensional Delivery Services, Rosalinda speaking... for the 16th time Amy Rose, we don't sell Sonic clones!"

*CLINK

"...Anyway, try it out."

"I don't know..."

"Come on! I know you want to."

With hesitation, Spike lifted up the white amulet and put it around his neck. For a moment, nothing happened, the only thing that change was that he now had an itch in his back.

"Wow, your right, this is cool." Spike said sarcastically.

"Just look in the mirror." Bright said bemused.

With a groan, Spike did as he was told. When he looked at his reflection he something that he never that he would see till he was older. He saw himself in the mirror, but he was a lot taller and he grown a pair a awesome wings.

"Oh my Celestia! I'm older... and I finally have wings!" Spike screamed with both shock and joy.

"See, what did I tell ya."

"But, won't I become greedy again like last time?"

"No, like I said, these ones are different then the ones Trixie had. Now, let's go have some fun." Galaxy said as he put on his own amulet and too gotten taller and grew a pair of wings.

"You know... I thought of you as a rude freeloader when you started living with us, but now, you cool in my book, Bright."

"Thanks, now, lets head over to Sugar Cube Corner. I ordered some crystal sprinkled cupcakes from the Cakes."

With a nob, the reptile duos left the treehouse and went on their quest to the house of sugary goodness.

Chapter 10 - One Bad Player (Part 3 Final)

The search for the Slime Pony has been going on for over 3 hours. The journey through the Everfree Forest have been hard for the Enderpony since he was tall. Resulting in him getting hit in the face by passing branches while following the Spider Pony. It was nightfall as the Mob Duo made it to an opening.

"How much longer, Wild?" Shadow asked exhausted. "We've been going forward towards this direction for hours. The only thing we found is this opening."

"Well, I've got good news and bad news." Wild Style says while catching a nearby butterfly.

"What's the good news?"

"The good news is that this where we stop."

"Oh thank, Herobrine!!"

"The bad news is that the trail has gone cold."

Shadow just stared at the Mob before him as she nibbles on the butterfly.

"You're kidding, right?"

"Sadly, no. Also, I don't know about you, but this is where depart."

"You're not coming with me?"

"I would, but as you can see my behind." Wild pats on her back. (or butt? I don't know spider anatomy. My bad.) "I have some responsibility coming my way, and I can't risk getting in danger."

"Whoa! When did you became pregnant?" Shadow asks surprised.

"I would tell you, but I think you were in the middle of finding your friend."

"Oh yeah, well... I guess this is goodbye then."

"What? Am I not allowed to meet the other ponies? Is my figure too hideous for wondering eyes?"

"What?! No, no, no, I-I didn't mean it like that! I meant to say-"

*Giggles* "Just kidding. You are so cute when you're nervous"

Shadow blushed, and was now feeling silly.

"In all seriousness, it's probably for the best. I'm not really social, and my presents will cause a panic. Farewell, Shadow the Enderpony, and may Herobrine look over you."

With that, the Spider Pony turned around and left the Enderpony all alone out in the open field. With a sigh, Shadow then began his search for his slime friend. Unfortunately, he came across nothing but a couple of critters that live in the forest.

BONK!

Just as was going to turn around and return home with bad news, he was soon struck in the back of head by something hard. Soon, darkness covered his vision.

It felt like forever as Shadow finally woken up from his slumber. It's a good thing that Mobs can see in the dark, or else this would be troubling. All around him was some cocoons that were covered in slime-like substances. He realize that he too was in some sort of cocoon. With his Enderman strength, he was able to get himself free from his slimy prison, but instead of climbing out like he planned, Shadow then fell to the floor before he could have a chance to teleport. He looked up and sees that his previous prison was hanging in the ceiling.

"Should of seen that coming." Shadow said nopony.

Suddenly, he heard a hiss, then two hisses, followed by many hisses. With his Mob night vision, he spotted so many bug like creatures surrounding him. Some were in armor-like bearings while most weren't wearing anything.

"Uhh, hi there. Is there something I could do?"

"I thought you said it would hold it in place!" One guard (Shadow that it was.) yelled at its comrade.

"Sir, I had no idea it would escape! We sealed it with the strongest slime we had." The other guard replied seemingly nervous.

"Well, neutralize it before it can get away!"

With that, the closest guard shot a blob of green slime at Shadow, but thanks to his Enderman instincts, he quickly teleported out of way of the projectile and reappeared right behind the now surprise guard. Shadow looked down at the guard before him with a twitchy eye.

"If you wanted to play, you could just asked."

SCCRRREEEEEEEECCHHH!!!!

Before the bug pony could react, Shadow swing his mallet like forearms at it and nocked it against the wall resulting it going unconscious. Another guard then flew up in the air and tried to dive bomb at the Enderpony, only to end up in the same position with it's fallen comrade. Shadow then charged at another bug pony and ram his forehead into its skull. The bug pony then flew across the cave and into the group of other bug ponies.

"Strike!" Shadow yelled.

Suddenly, Shadow felt a small amount of pain on his neck. Another bug pony took the opportunity and chomped down on it's opponent's neck. Sadly, its attempt was proven fruitless as Shadow turned and nocked it against the cave wall. As Shadow was about to beat the little creature in a pulp, a tiny voice echoed in the distance.

"Wait!"

Shadow looked around and spotted a really small version of the attacking bug pony. By the sound of it, it sounded female, and couldn't be more than 3 or 4 years old. (Again, I don't know the age ratio in Equestria. Faust dammit, I need to do better research. Apologies to you readers out there.)

Anyway, it walked past the other fallen bug ponies and came up to the Enderpony with teary eyes.

"Please... no more... I don't want to... see anymore fighting..." The little bug pony sobbed as it struggle to say a clear sentence.

Shadow looked down at the tiny bug-like creature. Realization soon came into Enderpony's mind. He just fought a group of bug ponies into unconsciousness out of rage. Sure, they did captured him and were planning on doing Herobrine knows what, but he could of just simply teleported out of there without getting into a fight. Shadow looked again at the tiny crying bug pony. With a kind heart, Shadow sat down on his haunches and pulled the surprised/scared bug pony in a embrace.

"Shh... it's okay... it's all over."

The bug pony looked up into Shadow's eyes before burying its face into his soft chest and stain it with streaming tears. Shadow then kept the bug pony in place till it finally calmed down. Shadow leaned down and nuzzled the bug pony, which quickly eased it.

"Better?"

It nobbed.

"What's your name little one?"

"My name is Mirror Coat." She says.

"What a pretty name, Mirror." Shadow says with a smile.

The little bug pony made a cute little giggle. "Thanks, um, what's your name?"

"My name is Shadow, and I'm an Enderpony."

"Wow, I never met an Enderpony before."

"Well, I am the first in this land."

Shadow then told a little 'story' to the bug pony about how him and his friends ended up in Equestria. When he was finished, a thought came to him.

"Sorry to ask, but what are you?"

"I'm a changeling." Mirror replied with a bit of pride.

"Interesting, say, do you know where the exit is?"

"Oh it's down the hall to the left."

"Thanks, also, where is your parents?"

This might of been the wrong thing to say, because Mirror started to tear up a little.

"I don't have any anymore. Those mean ponies took them away from me."

Shadow was shocked by this. Did these changelings had a troubled past with the ponies? How come Twilight never mention anything about this? Soon, something with Shadow's heart blossomed into some brighter then the sun.

"Hey..."

The slightly crying changeling looked up at Shadow with a sad and curious expression.

"Do you want to come on with me on a little adventure?"

Mirror Coat looked into the Enderpony's eyes with both shock and excitement. She then jumped up and wrapped her holed-covered forelegs around one of Shadow's.

"I'll take that as a yes." Shadow says with a chuckle.

With that, Shadow walked down the hallway and was soon outside the with cave with the sun about to rise. Must been out longer that he thought. With a glow from his horn, Shadow and Mirror Coat headed back to Ponyville. Shadow might have to bring the bad news the Yo that he didn't find Justin, but he will be bringing some great news about being a guardian. He will not let anything happen to Mirror Coat as long as he stands.

"Don't worry Mirror... I'll protect you."

It was a peaceful morning when Shadow came back to Ponyville with Mirror Coat. It was sad that he failed to find the lost Slime Pony, but he guessed that Justin will show up later in the future. He just needs time to think. As of right now, Shadow was at the front door to Twilight's home when he thought of something. Obviously, the Changelings and Ponies did not have a good history together. What will he do if the others find out about Mirror? They are going to find out eventually anyway. Being her new guardian, he must protect her as much as he can. Maybe he can try to soften the situation a bit if he try talking with them first. Yeah, that might work.

"Alright, Mirror." Shadow said with a whisper. "This is my friend's house. When I open it, I want you to stay close to me."

"Okay..." Mirror said as she wraps around Shadow's foreleg tightly.

With a sigh, Shadow opened the door, only to reveal Spike sitting on a bean-bag, reading some comic book.

"Morning, Spike."

"Shadow?" Spike asked taking his eyes off from the comic. "Shadow! It is you! Where have you been?! Twilight was so worried about you!"

"I've been out trying to find Justin all night. His tracks had gone cold after awhile. So I lost him, but I believe he'll turn out again later on though."

"Well, okay. But, you should of checked in next time. Twilight barely had any sleep. She kept pacing around and going on about how you could be in danger"

"Well... she was kinda right on that." Shadow said nervously.

"Wait, did you really get into trouble?"

"You can say that... where's Twilight by the way?"

"Oh, she went to SugarCube Corner with the girls for Pinkie's new 'Breakfast Surprise' she created. Something tells me it involves a lot of sweets."

Shadow sighed with relief. At least he can do this quickly before something does happen.

"Spike, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, anything's possible."

"I need you to get the girls and have them meet us at Applejack's farm for a meeting."

"Okay, wait, who else is coming?"

"Okay, I'm going to show you, but promise me that you won't scream or run away."

"Uhh... sure." Spike said unsure.

With a nob, Shadow move out of the way to reveal a tiny Changeling with a curious look on her face.

"Oh my gosh! A Changeling!" Spike panicked.

Right before Spike could get a chance to run out the door, Shadow teleported in front of the purple scaled dragon and quickly closed the door before anypony else could hear.

"Spike! You agreed to not scream and run away, but you did the complete opposite!" Shadow said glaring.

"But you didn't say that it would be a Changeling! Me and the girls had to deal with those things before!"

"First off, it's a she, not an it. Second, her name is Mirror Coat. Finally, she's just a child. I mean, look at her. Does that look like danger to you?"

Spike turned his head towards Mirror. She is staring back with confusion.

"Well... not really now that I have a good look at her." Spike said as he relaxed a little. "Although, I'm not sure if the others will agree."

"That's why I wanted you to go and get them so I can show them to her."

"I'm having a bad feeling about this."

"Don't worry, I'm sure as friends, they will understand."

"Alright, but I hope your right."

"I hope so too."

With a nob, Spike set out to get the Mane 6 for the meeting. Shadow took one last check before putting Mirror on his back and teleporting to Sweet Apple Acres.

It didn't took long to appear at the door step of the Apple's house. It didn't take a genius to tell that Shadow was really nervous about the meeting. He knows that there will be a lot of arguing. But what got Shadow to worry the most is the possibility of the Royal Guards showing up and taking Mirror away. Well, he could easy take them out, but the idea of repeating the same mistake in this world was not really something he was looking forward to.

"Oh, hey there partner."

Shadow's train of thought were cut short from a very familiar deep voice.

"Oh, hi Big Mac. How long have you been standing there?"

"Not long, but I could ask you the same thing."

"I'm just... really nervous. I have something that might break the friendship I have with the girls."

"I'm sure it isn't that bad."

"You have no idea."

"Well, whatever problem you have, I sure that the others look past it. They're your friends after all, and if I a thing or two, then I know that friends are suppose to support each other no matter what."

"Gee, thanks Big Mac. That means a lot."

"You're welcome. Well, I got to get going. Got apples to sell."

With that, the large red stallion headed off into the distance with a cart of apple in tow. Just as Shadow was about to go in and say good morning to Yo and Granny Smith, there was scream sounding off from the distance. Shadow traced it to the familiar red barn. With worry ratings reaching to high levels, Shadow turned his head towards his back and to his horror, there were no traces of the tiny Changeling that was suppose to stay close to him. That's when Shadow gotten the idea.

'Herobrine dammit!! She must of wondered off on her own!'

Shadow quickly teleported to entrance of the barn and what he saw is the girls cornering the now whimpering Mirror to the edge of the wall. What got Shadow's attention was the large bruise on the right side of the tiny Changeling's face. There was something brewing within Shadow that he knew all too well.

'What...no! I can't.... not them.... not here..... not now!' Shadow clutches his chest as he continues to mentally argue with himself. 'Must... fight.... my instincts!!

Just as Shadow was able to have control over his behavior, he then starts hearing what the girls were saying.

"Now ya ain't going anywhere ya varmit!"

"Please, let me go..."

"Oh my stars! It can talk!"

"Can we throw it a party?! I never got the chance to throw one for others back at the wedding!"

"No Pinkie, we need to keep it secured till I can contact Celestia."

"Umm, maybe we should let it go..."

"No way Fluttershy! I'm not going to let this monster get loose."

"Please listen to her, I'm not here to cause any-"

SMACK!

Mirror Coat was rewarded with a hoof across the face.

"Shut up you freak of nature! There's no way your little trick can fool us!"

The little scene that Shadow just witnessed was enough to drive him over the edge. Right now, there was only one thing that was going in his thoughts.

'BY NOTCH'S STAR NO!!'

With anger flowing, Shadow starts walking to towards his little companions attackers.

It was starting out a good morning for the gang as they were enjoying one of their friends new breakfast dish. Which was tasty by the way, but it had to be interrupted by yet another emergency. It's not that they don't like to help or anything, but they do wish they could go at least two days without an incident bursting out of nowhere. Although, knowing that a Changeling was wondering around town was something they must not take lightly, especially last event. It was a good thing Spike came running in to warn them, even they couldn't understand what was he saying as he wheezes through his sentence. They only thing that they were able to understand was 'Shadow' 'Changeling' 'Farm'. From right there, they immediately set out to capture the creature, in which they did in a number of seconds. Although, they still haven't heard from Shadow yet.

"Alright girls, I'm going to put a spell on it to neutralize it the time being." Twilight said.

Right when she was about to charge her horn, Twilight noticed that Pinkie was shaking from top to bottom.

"Pinkie, is there something wrong?"

"Yes there is, my Pinkie Senses is going off the frits! I think there's going to be a Doozy!" Pinkie yells as her once puffy mane and tail deflated and turned greyish.

"Are you sure? When will it happen?"

"I don't know, but it is going to be really-"

"Look! There's Shadow!" Dash points out.

The gang turns their gaze towards the tall Enderpony they all know.

"Shadow! It's good to see you! You had us worried since you didn't came back last night." Twilight says relief.

Shadow didn't say anything as he continues his advance towards the group. Minus Pinkie Pie since she hid behind a barrel to the ponies' confusion.

"Shadow are you alright?" Twilight asks as she tries to get closer.

There was a pause before Shadow responded. "...No... I'm not alright..."

"Well, what's wrong partner?" Applejack asks.

"For one thing, what are you doing to this Changeling?"

Rainbow Dash answers with a bit of pride. "We were capturing this monster before it could-"

"SHUT YOUR BUCKING MOUTH YOU MULTICOLORED MANE FREAK!" Shadow interrupted harshly.

The girls flinched at the sudden abrupt volume.

"Hey, what gives Shadow?!"

"Don't you ever call her a monster!"

Twilight walks up. "Wait, you know this Changeling?"

"Yes, and 'she' has a name too. Her name is Mirror Coat."

"Where did you found her?"

"When I was out trying to find Justin last night, I was ambushed a pack a Changelings."

The girls gasped in responds.

"Then there's a reason to throw this thing to the dungeons!" Rainbow points out.

"Let me finish you hot-headed fool!"

"Why you!" Rainbow was about to pounce for the insult, but Applejack grabbed her by her tail.

"Now hold and there Dash! Let him talk."

Rainbow snorted as she settles down.

"Anyway, when I woke up, I was incased in some sort of cocoon. I was able to break out, but I had to fight of a group of Changeling Guards."

"Then what does that have to do with this one?!" Rainbow yelled, losing her patience.

"Shut up!" Shadow growled. "As I was about to finish them off, Mirror came in and begged for me to stop. She was trying to break up the fight."

"But, how did... uh... Mirror, get here?" Twilight asks.

"After things finally calmed down, I decided to get to know Mirror a little bit. I soon found out that she no longer has any parents. With a bit of thinking, I've decided to be her guardian."

"Oh, you poor thing." Fluttershy says she tries to confort Mirror when Rainbow pushed her away.

"No Flutters, don't get near it!"

"Oh for Herobrine sakes, Rainbow! Back off will you?! She is just a child!" Shadow glared.

"Shadow, we don't know if can trust her. For all we know, she could be a danger to others." Twilight tries to reason with Shadow.

"Twilight..." Shadow says softly "Do you trust me?"

Twilight seemed to be taken back by the question.

"Shadow, I..."

"Twilight, I need your honest answer. Do you trust me to look after Mirror?"

There was a moment of silence before the lavender pony finally spoke.

"Shadow... I trust you."

"Thank you Twilight. Come on Mirror, we're going to our new home."

"New home?" Twilight repeated questionably. "You're leaving?"

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to build me and Mirror a house so we can live together. I thought it might be time to get out of your home. I didn't want to be a burden anymore."

"Oh, well, okay..." Twilight was a little sad by this, but she new that she couldn't house him forever. Also this was his decision, not hers." But wait, how are you going to get enough bits to get one?"

"Silly Twilight." Shadow chuckled. "I'm an Enderpony, and with the knowledge from Craftia, I could make my own house with materials I can find in the Everfree and around Ponyville."

"If you are going to build a new home, Darling, then can I help a little?" Rarity asks hopefully.

"A little? You can design the entire of thing with any ideas you like!"

Rarity seems to be excited to design the house.

"Well, if you all excuse me. Mirror and I are going to have fun for the remainder of the day."

All of the fear Mirror had before left when she heard Shadow's plan. With a sprint in her legs, she ran up to Shadow, only to be blocked by a certain cyan blue pony.

"Just remember bub! I got my eye on you!" Rainbow says as she made an 'eye to eye' gesture.

Shadow gritted his teeth as he teleported between Mirror and the stubborn Pegasus.

"Oh and Dashie, if you do anything to harm Mirror, I will defend her. And I think we both know who will end up 6 hoof under if we, well... you know." Shadow threatened.

Rainbow did nothing but snorted and crossed her forelegs together.

"One last thing, do you remember when you hit Mirror in the face?"

"Yeah, why?" Dash says as she raised an eyebrow.

"Well... let me give you a demo."

"Demo? What are you-"

THRASH!

Rainbow fell to the ground out cold when Shadow gave her straight punch to the face. With one last glance to the girls, him and Mirror headed out the door and back to the library. There was only one thing that Twilight and the others could think of that continues to spin around in their thoughts.

'What have we gotten ourselves into?'

Author's Note

What a drama. What will happen now that there's a Changeling wondering around in Ponyville? Find out next time on Minecraft Beginnings!

Chapter 12 - Magic Showdown (Part 1)

It has been a few of days since Mirror Coat's discovery and Shadow's rage. Twilight was still a bit sad that Shadow moved out of library. She enjoyed his company. Applejack was a bit cautious at first, but when Mirror have been helping out at the farm and keeping Applebloom occupied, she was already starting to take a liking to the tiny Changeling. Well, she couldn't applebuck, but she is quite fast when gathering fallen apples. Fluttershy also grew liking Mirror when they feed the animals. Normally, Angel wouldn't like visitors coming to the cottage, but he seemed to let it pass for some reason. Pinkie Pie really wanted to throw a party for Mirror as a new member of Ponyville, but Shadow made it clear that until Mirror can get the hang of shiftshaping, she can't have one with the town.

Yes, it was a bit a surprise to Shadow that her race can change forms at will. Was also interested Shadow was that she can only eat love. Well, not really just love, she can consume other emotions. It's just that love is the tastiest of all, but her group couldn't get much after some incident occurred that she barely knows about. Shadow though, was able to provide much love as he can give on a regular basis. Most of which involves snuggles to Mirror's joy.

I'm getting off topic. My apologies. Anyway, Rarity did a good job on modeling the house for the strange duos. Once she was done planning it and had a copy done for Shadow, he soon went work on building it. It didn't took long for him to complete their new home. It was quite the site for the citizens of Ponyville. Even Diamond Tiara was jealous.

Rainbow Dash was a bit of a pain in the neck the first 3 days to Shadow's disappointment. She would hide on top of a cloud and look down on Mirror with suspicion in her gaze, but it wasn't long before she finally excepted Mirror's presence. She even apologies for being stubborn as a mule. 'No offense' 'None taken' Anyway, right now, Shadow was helping Mirror practice her shapeshifting abilities in his bedroom.

"Alright Mirror, we are going to go over this one more time. Are you ready?" Shadow asks as he levitates a couple pictures.

"I'm ready." Mirror confirmed.

Shadow then pulled up a picture of a pony dressed as a waitress.

"Hello, I'm Side Server and I will be taking your order for you two. What would you like."

Mirror focused until she was ignited in green flames and was now a unicorn filly with a white coat and candy-cane mane and tail.

"I would like just a glass of water, please."

Shadow nobs and levitates another picture. It's a picture of a pony dressed in as a store employee.

"Hey there kid, I am Price Check, is there something I can help you with?"

Mirror once again closed her eyes and was surround in green flames. She soon transformed into a pegasus filly with a light blue coat and white mane and tail.

"No thank you."

Shadow then pulled one last picture. It was a picture of one of Celestia's royal gaurds.

"Excuse me little lady, I am Sword Lance and this area you are playing in is off limits."

Mirror once again shifted and was now an earth pony filly with red coat and black mane and tail.

"I'm sorry, miss guard ma'm."

"It's alright little one. Now tell me where is your handsome and attractive father at?"

What Shadow got in return was a pillow to the face and a laughing Changeling.

"You're so silly, Shadow." Mirror giggled.

"I know. I'm awesome like that." Shadow said as he cleaned up the mess of papers and pillows.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Hmm, who could that be? Wait here Mirror."

Shadow then teleported to the front door that he can actually go through without ducking. He opened the door to reveal an earth pony with a brown coat and dark grey hair.

"Ah~ Hello there good sir. You must be Sir Shadow. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Filth Rich. May I come in?" He asks in a fancy accent.

Shadow was a bit hesitant at first, but he let the brown pony into his home. They both settled down in the living room where a fire place remained unlit.

"I have been hearing rumors that you have vanquished a powerful being."

"King Sombra to be specific, Mr. Rich. Also yes, I have defeated him."

"And congrats Sir Shadow. You are quite strong for a pony looking slender.

"Uhh... thanks?" Shadow didn't know either it was a compliment or insult.

"But I think I should get to the point. I'm here to offer you a job."

"A job? What kind are we talking?"

"I want to hire you as my new personal bodyguard. I have recently gotten a rise of prophets in my business and I suspected that my other rivals will be sending ponies to 'eliminate' the competition. A pony like yourself will be perfect for the job."

Shadow seemed interested. "But I have community service I still have to complete."

"Fear not, I will be sending a message to her majesty and inform her of your position. Also as an add bonus, I will be paying you 50 bits an hour for your services until the heat dies down. The choice is yours."

Shadow thought for a moment. This could be a legit job that will pay well, and give him community hours. He had to agree, he would be perfect for the job. Like what idiot is going to fight an Enderman? The last opponents weren't so lucky.

"Mr. Rich, you got yourself a deal." Shadow says as they both got up and shook hooves.

"Bravo, lad. Now, I must be on my way. Have to pick up my daughter from school. You will start next week when my current guard retires." Rich says as he walks out the door.

Shadow feels good about himself. He just gotten a job with ease. And one that will pay well.

"Shadow, who was that?" Mirror asks as she come downstairs.

"That was Filthy Rich, Mirror. He was just passing by to offer me a job."

"Will you be gone?"

"Yeah, sorry Mirror. I will be probably be gone for many hours when I will start my job."

"But what about our sessions?"

"Don't worry, I'm sure Twilight will help you practice. She is the best mage I've met." Shadow rubs the back of his head. "Well, the only mage I've met."

Mirror giggled and softly flew onto Shadow's back.

"Can we head over to Rarity's place? I was wondering if I could get myself a saddlebag."

"A saddlebag? What for?"

"For when I go to school silly." Mirror giggled.

"School.... Oh! School! How can I forget?!" Shadow finally realized.

Right when Shadow was about to head out the door, he realized again that something was missing.

"Mirror, you need to choose a disguise that I will know is you. Because if ponies see me with different 'daughters' than they'll get suspicious.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot."

With one swift of her horn, she instantly transformed into a unicorn filly with light a purple coat, and dark purple mane and tail with white hue. Her mane was also in a ponytail. Ironic, isn't it.

"Alright then, what will your fake name be?"

"Actually... I was wondering if you can name me." Mirror blushed.

Shadow was taken back by this request. He never really thought of naming a filly of his own. Well, guess the time has come.

"I say that your name will be..." Shadow paused to think. "Your name will be Violet Rose."

Mirror, er... Violet hugged the back of Shadow's neck.

"I love it."

Seeing Mirror's smile made Shadow's heart melt. She was so cute.

"Alright then, this is your Enderpony speaking. Enjoy the ride and we'll head over to Rarity's boutique in no time." Shadow said in a funny accent.

Mirror laughed as the duos head out the door and off to the Ponyville.

Chapter 12 - Magic Showdown (Part 2 Final)

As Shadow and Mirror were trotting down the dirt road towards Ponyville, they soon spotted a pony lying down under a tree.

"Who is that pony, Shadow?" Mirror asks still on Shadow's back.

"I don't know. I've already met everypony in Ponyville. He must be new." He looked at Mirror. "He's obviously taking a nap, so we shouldn't disturb him."

Just when they were about to pass by the mysterious pony, Mirror saw that there was something wrong with stallion.

"Shadow, wait!" Mirror pulled Shadow to a halt. "That pony is hurt!"

Shadow turned back towards the sleeping pony and noticed that it had scorched marks all over his body and looked so rotten like expired cabbage. Shadow was starting to get worried.

"Um, excuse me, sir. Are you okay?"

The figure didn't responded. Now Shadow was starting to get really worried.

"Hey, wake up!" Shadow raised his voice as he shook the figure.

"Okay, okay! I'm getting up!"

Once the mystery stallion opened his eyes, it completely spooked Shadow as he teleported a few feet away with Mirror behind him. Shadow then gotten a better look at the stallion. He had a green coat with dark green raggedy mane and tail. He looked so filthy. He was also wearing a light blue shirt that looked like it went through a shredder. What sent chills up Shadow's spine was that the stallion had no eyes. Sure, he seen them in Craftia from the others and from Long Shot, but the were pixelated and Long Shot had no rotting flesh. Realization came to Shadow, this was not any ordinary pony, it was another Mob!

"What do you want?" The Zombie Pony asked.

Shadow hesitated. " I was wondering if you were okay."

"Wait, you asking me if I was okay, and you're not running away form me?" The rotten pony asked surprised.

"Well yeah, you looked like you went through an incinerator and a shredder. Also, it's going to take a lot to scare me." Shadow lied a bit on that last statement. "Say, this may be a random question, but are you a Mob?"

"I am! How did you know?!" The stallion asks once again surprised.

"Well, I am a Mob too."

The stallion examined the Enderpony a bit. "Well, now that I have good look at you, you do resemble an Enderman."

"I think introduction should be in order." Mirror said as she comes from under Shadow.

"And who are you little one?"

"I guess I'm first. My name is Violet Rose, but my real name is Mirror Coat and I'm Changeling."

"Hello there, and what's a Changeling?"

"It's a long story." Shadow picked up. " Also, my name is Shadow the Enderpony. I was the first one to get here."

"First one? Are there others here too? Also, what is here?"

"For your first question, yes. There are other Mob turned ponies here. There's me, a Skeleton, Slimes/Magmas, and a Spider. For your second question, the land you are in is named Equestria. You're in another world."

"Another world huh? I was wondering why I was a horse."

"Ponies, they're called ponies. Horse is a bit offensive to them just a heads up."

"Right, got it. Well, I guess it's my turn. My name is Flesh Feeder. And as you can tell, I am a Zombie."

"Nice to meet you, Flesh. By the way, what happened to you?"

"Well, the cuts and rottenness is how I looked when I got here, and the burned marks, I think you can figure that out."

"Oh yeah, the sun. How long have you been here?"

"Since yesterday, I was outside some fancy city on that mountain over there. The ponies there ran away screaming and saying a lot of rude things when they saw me. I was sent here by a Witch back in Craftia."

"Did she snuck up on you?" Mirror asked.

"No, she asked me to stand on one spot. So, I 'yes' and now I'm here."

Shadow and Mirror turned there heads towards one another with the most bemused expression on their faces.

"You followed what a Witch said to do for no reason or any worries for your safety?" Shadow deadpanned.

"I may not know much on how Craftia works, but even I know that you can't trust a Witch." Mirror agreed.

"I was bored. Besides, who ever heard of a Witch throwing Healing Potions?" Flesh countered.

"I guess you have a point. Say, do you want to meet my friends. They should be in town."

"In case you haven't noticed, I can't go anywhere till night."

"I think I got something for that." Shadow turns around. "You two stay here, I'll be right back."

With that, Shadow teleported deep into the Everfree Forest. He stood in front of a familiar hut as he knocks the door.

"Hey, Zecora!" Shadow yelled. "I'm sorry for coming unannounced, but do you have those Fire-Proof Potions Long Shot asked for?!"

There was no answer. Shadow then opened the door and ducked his way in.

"Hello? Anypony here?" Shadow asked.

There was no answer as the whole place was empty. Before Shadow could leave, he spots four glasses filled with some orange liquid. There was also a note. Shadow picked up the note.

Dear Shadow,

I thought you would come for my brew. Sorry if you I wasn't around. I'm out training Twilight. Help yourself to my batch.

Zecora

This was strange. Why is Zecora training Twilight? What for by the way? Oh well, must be magic thing or something. With that, Shadow grabbed all of the potions and teleported back to the waiting duos.

"Finally, where have you been?" Flesh asked

"I've went over to a friend of mine to get some of these Fire-Proof Potions. These were the stuff Long Shot the Skeleton asked for."

Shadow hoofs over a dose over to Flesh.

"These should help you out for a while till we get you settled in."

"Thanks.... this means a lot."

"We're Mobs, and we Mobs stick together."

Flesh smiled at the Enderpony and drank the orange liquid. He was hesitant at first, but soon he stepped out of the only safety from the sun. To trio's relief, the potion worked.

"Ah yeah! I'm fire-proof!" Flesh cheered.

"Come on, we can head over to Ponyville and meet up with the others."

With that, Shadow, Mirror, and Flesh started trotting over to Ponyville. On the way, Flesh would ask some questions on how the inhabitants would react to his looks. Shadow was a bit worried too that the citizens would be scared, but if they are lucky, then maybe they will just shrug it off and won't mind.

"Hey, Shadow?" Mirror asked.

"Yeah?"

"Is today some sort of holiday going on in Ponyville?"

"Not that I know of. Why do you ask?"

"Because there's a giant dome over it." Mirror pointed out.

Shadow was confused at first by Mirror's statement, but when he looked at Ponyville, he was shocked. It was indeed under some sort of dome. It also have a stormy clouds inside it. Without hesitation, he grabbed both Mirror and Flesh and teleported to the Golden Oak Library. Where he sees the rest of the girls are working.

"What in the Nether happened here?!" Shadow yelled.

"Shadow?! How did you get past the dome?" Rarity asked.

"I can teleport, remember?"

"Oh right, of course." Rarity said feeling silly for the obvious question.

"That dog-gone Trixie came back and took over Ponyville!" Applejack said in a tone of annoyance.

"Who's Trixie?" Shadow asked curious.

"Right, you weren't here when it happen. Well, many months ago, a unicorn mare named, Trixie came here to Ponyville and was boasting during one of her magic shows." Rarity started explaining. "We simply couldn't take and we tried to out-rank her with our own talents. But she humiliated us on stage! She tied up poor Applejack here, put Rainbow Dash in a tornado blender, and me! She did the worst thing of them all!!"

"What did she do?!" Shadow asked worried.

"She turned my beautiful mane green!!" Rarity screamed.

Shadow did not look amused.

"How terrible..." Shadow said in slight sarcasm which Rarity didn't catch.

"I know! If she wasn't all too powerful, I would give her a really bad hair day myself! Excepted more brutal!"

"ANYWAY.... what happened next?" Shadow still wanted to know the full details.

"Right, my apologies, Darling." Rarity composed herself. "Anyway, when we failed, we tried to convince Twilight in teaching her a lesson, but she refused because she thought we would see her the same way we saw Trixie. Later on that night, two of her fans, Snips and Snails brought an Usra Minor into Ponyville for Trixie to 'vanquish', but turns out that she's a fraud and her wagon got destroyed. Twilight was able to control the ghastly beast and save everypony."

In Shadow's mind, he was shocked and amazed that Twilight was able to defeat it by herself.

"Wait, what did you all do to Snips and Snails?"

"Twilight assigned them to clean up Ponyville and gave them mustaches."

'That's really weird' Shadow thought.

"Trixie came back with that Alicorn Amulet of hers and kicked Twilight out and trapped us all in this dome."

"Have you all tried to contact Princess Celestia?"

"No can do, partner." Applejack answered. "She cut off any kind of communication with that magic dome she put up."

"What are we going to do?" Flesh finally spoke, which spooked everypony.

"Who is that?!"

"What in tarnation?!"

"Oh....my...."

"Whoa!"

"What the?!"

"Wee!! Do you like parties?!"

"GIRLS!" Shadow shouted.

The panicky mares quiet down as Shadow explained.

"Everypony, this is my new Mob friend, Flesh Feeder. He's a Zombie Pony."

"What's up?" Flesh said.

"Uh... nice to meet you?" Applejack said unsure.

"I new zombies were real!" Spike screamed.

"Relax little dude, I'm not some sign of an zombie invasion."

"Darling, what happened to you shirt?!" Rarity yelled.

"I always wore this from Craftia."

"Um, mister Flesh Feeder... I got two questions for you." Fluttershy said from behind her mane.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well, do you.... um, eat ponies?"

"No, and since I'm half dead already, I don't need to eat anything." Flesh said to the other's relief. "What's your other question?"

"Can you see?"

"Yeah, why you ask?"

"Well, it's just that you don't have any eyes."

"Oh, I can see without them. How I do it, I really don't know." Flesh said as he sits down on a wooden chair. "But shouldn't we be worried about the craze mare that is controlling the town?"

"Flesh is right. What are we going to do?" Shadow asked as he paces around the room before coming up with an idea.

"Well, there are three options. We can 1; go out there and fight, 2; ask her nicely to leave, or 3; I could teleport out of here and get Celestia. Since I don't feel like fighting and asking will fail under 3 seconds, so I'm going to go and get Celestia."

"Okay, but you need to hurry. It won't take long before Trixie will find out about our plan."

"You guys have a plan all ready?"

"We were going to have Fluttershy sneak out and tell Twilight about the Alicorn Amulet."

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea guys. What if Trixie catches you?"

"Don't worry, we found a way."

"Well okay, but just be careful." Said warns before turning his gaze towards Mirror. "You stay here, Mirror."

With that, Shadow teleported all the way to Canterlot.

When he got there, some of the locals were a bit startled by his sudden entrance, but soon recognized the Enderpony. You may not know it, but Shadow somehow gotten a reputation for being the ultimate fighter. Some see it as barbaric, while others, like mares, see him as a strong, noble knight in shining armor. Shadow ignored the nobles as he ran into the front gates of the castle. Where two guards posted blocked his past.

"Halt! Who goes there?!" The guard on the left said.

"My name is Shadow the Enderpony, and I came to warn Princess Celestia of an emergency in Ponyville." Shadow explained.

"How do we know if you're lying?" The other guard said.

Shadow glared at the guard. Before the guard can do anything, Shadow grabbed him and teleported to the top of castle. The guard struggle to get free before he realized how high he was.

"Get me down from here! I'm afraid of heights!"

"You wanted proof, so there it is!" Shadow forced the guard to look.

The guard soon saw that the whole town was indeed in some sort of trouble. He saw a giant dome over it. Satisfied, Shadow teleported back down the front gate with a startled guard.

"Well?" Shadow asked with smirk.

"Uhh... your story checks out." The guard says still a bit startled. "The princess is in the dining hall, but she is in a meeting with some ambassadors from Saddle Arabia. So do be careful."

Shadow nobs and teleports to the dining hall in a matter of seconds. He once again startled nearby ponies. The princess and the other guests (I forgot there names, sorry.) look surprised at the sudden entrance.

"Shadow, this is an unexpected surprise." Celestia said as she puts down a half eaten piece of cake.

"I know and I'm sorry, but's it's an emergency."

"Something's wrong?" Celestia asked with a bit of worry.

"Yes, a crazed mare named, Trixie has tooken over Ponyville and sealed it off from the mainland with a giant dome."

"This does sound serious, but why hasn't Twilight contacted me in the first place? Not that I don't appreciate you warning me yourself."

"Trixie challenged Twilight in some duel and she lost. She then banished Twilight and created that giant dome. The other Element Bearers tried to send a message using Spikes flame, but that dome somehow cut off any source of communications and keeping anypony from leaving."

Celestia thought for a second before answering.

"Alright, I'll send some of my guards, but what does this Trixie look like?"

"I didn't really get a good description, but my friends told me that she was wearing a powerful object called the Alicorn Amulet."

This shocked Celestia and it was hard not to notice.

"Did you say the Alicorn Amulet?!" Celestia said in such seriousness.

"Yeah, do you know about it?" Shadow asked confused.

"Yes, it is an ancient artifact that will give power to the one who wears it. It was created by King Sombra as a last resort before me and my sister, Luna defeated him. It has dark magic with it as it will control the users emotions and intentions the longer they wear it!" Celestia explains as she stands up. "I will gather my guards and get my sister. This is a serious matter we must confront. It won't be a matter of time before this Trixie will do something drastic."

"I'll head back and try to stall as much as I can." Shadow said.

"Be careful, Shadow." Celestia warned.

With a nob, Shadow teleported back to Ponyville.

When he got back, Shadow was shocked to see Twilight lying on the floor. She was covered from horn to hoof with burned marks and bruises. She looked like she was about to faint. There standing in a defensive stance over her was Mirror who was glaring at Trixie.

"Did you really think you can fool me that easy?!" Trixie laughed. "Thanks to this amulet, I can be able to feel any nearby magic. That so called 'Power of the Everfree Forest' of yours had none!"

"Leave her alone you big meanie!" Mirror yelled.

"And what a little filly like you is going to do?" Trixie said as she was meet with a purple fireball to the face.

"That!" Mirror shouted as she continues to fire more fireballs.

Trixie saw them coming this time and conjured a force field and blocked the oncoming attacks. She then shot a blue beam at Mirror. Mirror then was frozen in place except for the head.

"I will not stand for rebels!"

Trixie then shot her own fireball and blasted Mirror out of her icy prison and a few feet away to everyponies shock. Before Mirror can get up, a lighting bolt stuck her as she was electrocuted.

"You wouldn't just shut up, would you?!"

ZAP!

"You kept going on about this 'Shadow' pony defeating me!"

ZAP!

"I have gone through Tartarus being a laughing stock!!"

ZAP!

"I'm not about to let a little bastard like you out-stage me!!!"

"...Please... stop..."

ZAP!

"I don't care who the buck you are! I'm putting you down!!

SSSCCRRRREEEEEECCHH!!!!

Before Trixie could figure out where that high pitch screech come from, She was punch square in the face and was sent crashing into her sugar-coated throne.

Trixie got up from the wreckage and saw the one who was responsible. It was a really tall black unicorn with purple mane and tail. She wasn't sure, but she thought it was this 'Shadow' that little filly was telling her about. Her train of thought was cut short as she heard the pony made another screech and charges.

Shadow seriously didn't want to fight, but nopony messes with Mirror or Twilight! As he charged, Shadow was struck by lighting and was sent flying a couple feet back. Without struggling, he gotten up and teleported behind Trixie and started swinging her by the leg. Trixie then, teleported out of Shadow's grasp and levitated two large boulders out of the ground.

"You won't out-stage me you purple eyed freak!"

Trixie threw the two boulders at Shadow. Shadow dodged the first boulder, but wasn't quick enough and was smashed into a nearby house by the other.

"Shadow!" The Mane 6 shouted.

There was a moment of silence as Trixie laughed.

"See, nopony can defeat The Great and Powerful Trixie!" She smirked.

The girls cried as their Enderfriend was crushed. Twilight took it the worst of all as she place her head into her hooves.

"Shadow... [sob] no... [sob]"

Yo, Long Shot and Flesh Feeder came to the front with the angry expressions.

"How could you do this?!" Yo cried.

"He didn't deserve this kind of fate!" Shot yelled.

"I will reach down your throat, rip out your heart, and eat it! All of it! Every last bit you bucking witch!!" Flesh roared.

Trixie laughed. "What can you three possibly do to-"

Ping!

Trixie turned towards the crash sight and to her and the others shock, Shadow was alive and was completely unharmed.

"H-How?!" Trixie asked a bit scared.

"I'm an unpredictable creature Trixie." Shadow said in a voice that sound like Chrysalis', except male. "Now... let's take this fight in the dark."

Shadow raised his horn high and made the dark clouds cover the entire town and made it very dark. Thinking quickly, Trixie turned her vision into night vision. She could see the ponies around her trying to find their own way around, until she felt something whisper close to her ear.

"...You're very good..."

Trixie desperatly tries to look for the Enderpony, but she couldn't find him.

"...but not good enough..."

Shadow grabs Trixie's leg again, only this time, he starts flipping and smashing her against the solid ground before releasing her in the air. Trixie screamed as she flew and came crashing down. How is this pony beating her?! She has the amulet!

"Alright!" Trixie yelled. "Time to kick it up a notch!"

Trixie then started glowing red and was getting brighter. When she dimmed down, she had a pair a dragon-like wings, and her cloak had so many red patters all over. She almost resembles an Alicorn.

"Let's see if you can dodge this!"

Trixie's horn then glowed so bright in nearly blinds Shadow and everypony else. Soon, she launched a giant flaming sphere at Shadow. Before he could teleport out of danger, he was hit with so much force that he nearly gotten blown away. Shadow was in so much pain. He couldn't move a muscle. He couldn't even speak normally.

All everypony can do is watch as the Enderman turned pony crumbles to the ground.

"See...huff*... like I said... huff*... nopony... huff*... can beat... huff*... me!" Trixie was exhausted, but still standing.

Shadow didn't reply as he gets up with his head still down.

"What the buck?!" Trixie screamed. "What's it going to take to for you to stay down?! You lost!"

Shadow still didn't answer as he ever so slowly raise his head. He tried to stay calm... He tried to keep in control... But this mare was asking for it. So there was one thing he had in his mind that his Mob instincts are telling him to do.

'...Kill her...'

"Well, are you going to stand there and glare at me, or are we going to-"

Trixie was interrupted by a loud roar. The horrific sound was so load that it destroyed the entire dome. Shadow then charged at Trixie with all his might. Trixie saw him coming and tried to do something, but she was too late as Shadow opened his mouth wide and chopped down on her throat. Trixie scream as Shadow lifted her up and started viciously thrash around with Trixie still in his grip. Trixie was now in more pain than she ever felt before as she can feel blood dripping from her neck and mouth. Just as she was about to teleport to safety again...

SNAP!

The Alicorn Amulet finally was ripped off of Trixie's neck in Shadow's jaw along with some skin that was torn off. Trixie then fell to the floor as she turns back to her normal self while still coughing up blood. She looked up and saw Shadow actually eating the Alicorn Amulet and the bits of flesh he gotten from his rampage to. It shocked and horrified everypony, even the Mobs were intimidated. Shadow soon turned his gaze towards Trixie, who started back-peddling in a failed attempt to get away.

"Please... have mercy..." Trixie could barely say as she sobs with fear.

Shadow ignored her as he made his advances towards the show mare with a creep growl.

Trixie new now that the tables have turned. This will be her death. Just when Shadow was about to go in for the kill, Trixie was surrounded in a light blue aura to her confusion. She then disappeared with a trace. Shadow blinked as he realizes that the threat was gone. He shook his head as he turned back to his normal state. He was tired.

"Shadow?"

Shadow turned to the voice calling to him. He then sees the Mane 6, Mobs, and Mirror looking at him with worried expressions. Shadow turned away was he teleported back to the house. Leaving behind the ponies.

Many miles in a cave in the Everfree Forest, lies a familiar show pony who was now covered in bandages next to a fire. There was also another pony with her. It was a unicorn stallion with a very dark blue coat. His mane and tail were purple with a light blue streak. He was also wearing some old robe with a strange devise that is attached to his right foreleg. There was picture of a galaxy on his robe. Possibly his cutie mark.

"Trixie... thanks you again for saving her."

The mysterious pony didn't answer as he continues to cook their meal on the fire. It was stew.

"Well... Trixie does have two questions. The first is who are you, and why did you saved me?"

"I saved you because I want to train you."

"Train me? Trixie does not need any training. For she is a master magic user."

"A master who used a forbidden dark amulet for her selfish needs?"

Trixie tried to say something, but she new he was right. She had to admit, she had gone out of control.

"I see so much potential in you, Trixie. I wish to take you under my wing. For you can do so much than you realize you can."

Trixie thought a bit before answering.

"Very well, Trixie will allow you to teach her."

"A wise decision, young one."

"You still haven't answered my question."

"Oh?"

"Yes, you haven't told Trixie your name."

The pony in robes chuckled.

"I was given many names in my past, but you shall refer to me as... GOE.

Chapter 13 - Endercon in Ponyville (Part 1)

Today was by far the worst for Shadow. All he wanted to do was just take Mirror to the shop in Ponyville to get school supplies, but no. He had to get into another fight with another enemy. Man, for a place looking peaceful, it was not at all. After the whole fiasco was over, Celestia and Luna had finally arrived with their guards to deal with Trixie, only to find that the dome was gone and a whole load of ponies cleaning up the town like the 20th time or so. The Mane 6 and Mobs explained everything from Shadow fighting Trixie, to him defeating her and destroying the Alicorn Amulet. Which did surprised the Royal Sister, but the did however sent out guards to search for Trixie. They all decided to head over to the mansion where Shadow have retreated to.

"Here we are, everypony." Mirror said as she opens up the huge doors.

"I have to admit, Shadow does has taste." Celestia says as they all trotted inside.

"Indeed, although We wonder why thou chosen to build his home out of blocks." Luna said as she looks at the passing armor stands and pictures in the hallways.

"He said that this is what it's like back in Craftia." Twilight added.

"So this where him and Mirror have been living? This place is really awesome." Long Shot said with his expressionless face.

The gang have reached the living room where the Enderpony sits facing the lit fireplace.

"Shadow!" Mirror yelled as she gallops towards Shadow and hugs his neck.

"Hello, Mirror." Shadow says calmly.

"We were worried about you. You teleported away before we could ask if you were okay." Twilight said.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I never wanted you girls to see me like that."

"What happened back there? It looked like you were going to kill Trixie back there."

"...That was the plan..."

The girls gasped.

"Shadow, we know that what Trixie did was unaccounted for and frustrating, but you can't go as far as taking her life!" Twilight said.

"She was going to kill Mirror, Twilight!" Shadow snapped. "What was I suppose to do?! Let that damn show pony-wanna-be take Mirror away from me?!!"

Twilight flinched by Shadow's outburst.

"Not only that, but you were going to be her next target! I would of never forgive myself if I lost any of you girls." Shadow starts to tear up.

Celestia and Luna looked at each other before they gave each other nobs.

"My little ponies, me and Luna would like to speak with Shadow alone." Celestia said gently.

The others didn't seem sure before following orders and head out the room.

"Shadow, I know what you're going through."

"Going through what?" Shadow asked.

"You're fighting whether to follow your instincts or not because you might hurt others."

"How did you know that?" Shadow asked surprise.

"We have told her about it when We enter thy dreams." Luna said.

Shadow looked at the floor, not even bothering asking how Luna entered his dreams.

"I sense great pain in you. Also, something tells me this has happened before." Celestia said.

"Your right... it happened when I fought a manticore in the forest; King Sombra in the Crystal Empire; a pack of Changelings at their hideout; and Trixie when she was about to end Mirror." Shadow explained. "It's not just my instincts, it's all of my emotions that I keep in. Back in Craftia, my kind has gotten the reputation of being evil demons from the Craftian War. I was called so many things by those Minecrafters in the overworld. They even tried to kill me multiple times before in the past when I was young. I guess... with actual threats around... I thought if I can defend others who can't for themselves.... I will be seen as a hero for once...."

Shadow was slightly tearing up when he felt something on his shoulder. He turns his head to see it was Celestia's hoof.

"Shadow, you are a hero. Even if some ponies don't show it, they will always know that they have a guardian watching them, and one who is willing to give up his own life for the safety of others. That's what makes you, you. You are not just an Enderpony, you are a Frienderpony." Celestia said in a caring and motherly tone.

Shadow smiled as a few tears dripped down his face. Celestia saw this and nuzzled him softly.

"Shadow..." Luna finally spoke up." Me and my sister also want to say that we are sorry for calling thou a monster. You were merely defending yourself from our immature act of going to conclusion. You were new to our land and we mistook you as a threat. Will thou accept our apology and be our new friend?" She said hopefully.

Shadow looked at the Royal Sister for a moment before giving his answer.

"Yes Luna, you and Celestia are forgiven and I will be your friend." Shadow smiled.

Luna was about to cheer like a filly for having a new friend when she realized it was not the right time for such act.

"We are very thankful, Shadow. As an added bonus, thou won't need to continue community service. Thou his relieved of thy punishment."

"Thank you, Luna."

"Well, we must take our leave. I have to lower the sun." Celestia announced. "We'll let everypony know that everything is alright. Farewell, Shadow."

With that, the Royal Sister left the room leaving Shadow and Mirror behind. Shadow felt all better, he should send a letter like Twilight does. Shadow looked to his side and his heart melted as he sees Mirror already sleeping peacefully by his side. Just then, Twilight came walking into the room.

"Twilight?" Shadow asked confused. "What are you doing here? I thought you were going home for the night."

"I was, but I never got the chance to say thank you for saving me, and that I'm sorry for earlier." Twilight said.

"No, I was the one who snapped at ya, and you were right. I did get carried away, and I need to be careful next time. Also, I wasn't going to let something like that happen to you. You mean a lot to me."

Twilight couldn't help but blush. She might be his friend, but she didn't know she meant that much to him.

"Shadow... thank you."

Shadow looked down thinking before looking back at Twilight.

"Twilight,"

"Yeah?"

"I've been meaning to ask you something."

"What is it?" Twilight asked curious.

"Will... Will you be..." Shadow paused. "Will you be my marefriend?"

Twilight looked surprise as her blush turns even redder.

"I mean... if you don't want to, then that's fi- mmh!"

Shadow was interrupted by a soft feeling of lips being pressed against his. Shadow was surprised by this before going into the kiss as his eyes slowly closed. They both softly moaned as their tongues dance in delight. As they both separate, they both looked at each other with half-lidded eyes and a bit of saliva still connected to each others lips.

"I've been waiting for you to ask me that." Twilight says as she walks up to Shadow and lays next to him.

Shadow smiles as he lower his head alongside with Twilight's. He could feel both his companions snuggle up closer to him.

"Goodnight, Twilight."

"Goodnight, Shadow."

The trio soon fell into a deep sleep as the sound of the fireplace continues to flicker through out the night.

Author's Note

Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, everypony! Come here, love~

I'm here, love~

Chapter 13 - Endercon in Ponyville (Part 2 Final)

It was a peaceful morning as the birds sing their songs, winds blowing, and the sun shining as it rises from the horizon. Things couldn't have been more better for our Enderfriend here. Shadow felt so complete for the first time in his life. He has two companions to love and care for; friends that will look for each other; and a home that sees him as a hero. This was better then home. Although, a thought had occur to him. Does he even want to go home? You know what, no. They never liked him back in Craftia. Why bother going back.

Anyway, when the future Ender-family woke up, Shadow explained Mirror that him and Twilight were now a couple. Mirror felt so happy that morning. Chanting that she will have a new mom. Which made the said couple blush. After talking with Mirror, they headed over to the Golden Oak Library to announce their relationship to the others. As you readers expect, they all congratulated them, but one of them warned Shadow that if he screws up, then there will be nothing left but his Enderpearl. That culprits was both Rainbow Dash and Spike. Even in Shadow's head, 'I like to see them try'. Though, they soon eased up on their aggressive advances and congratulated them. Shadow was a bit worried when Shining Armor finds out about them, but Twilight said that she will be their with him when she tells her family. It will also be payback for Shining not telling her about him getting married.

Shadow did noticed that some of the citizens of Ponyville are still a bit spooked by his... aggressive behavior since yesterday and tend to either look away, or walk away in a haste. Shadow felt bad for it. His little act have cost him half the towns trust and he's nearly going back to where he started.

"Oh cheer up, darling." Rarity says as they eat their pixelated breakfast. "I'm sure they will warm up to you again if you give them time."

"I know, it's just that I want to make it up to Ponyville for yesterday's event." Shadow says as he eats his pixelated carrot.

"By the way, where did you get all of this fancy grub at anyway?" Applejack asks as she inspects a pixel apple.

"Well, remember when I told you about Herobrine in our last Q/A's session?"

The girls nob.

"Well I can be able to talk to him in my sleep. A couple of nights ago when Rarity was designing the house, I asked him that if he can bring some stuff from Craftia so I could share with you all."

"And thanks too. I'm really digging this pixel emerald." Spike says as he takes another bit of the said emerald.

"Hey! Maybe you can share parts of Craftia with Ponyville!" Pinkie Pie said loudly.

"I'm not sure what I can share, Pinkie." Shadow said as he looks down.

"Well, is there any some sort of celebration that the Minecrafters do?" Twilight asks as she scoots closer to Shadow.

Shadow closed his eyes and thought hard. Most of the things in Craftia was weird. Suddenly, a thought came in his head.

"I think I know what to do!" Shadow yelled.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"Well there is a celebration that the Mincrafters do every year. They call it the Endercon!"

"Endercon?" The girls and dragon said confused

"Yeah! In the Endercon, they set up stand and full of games and prizes. They even have contests on building. It's pretty much like a big party."

"I love it already!" Pinkie said as she hops up and down.

"I'm not sure if there are lot of ponies who know how to build like you, Shadow." Fluttershy said.

"That's alright, me and the other Mobs can throw a Karaoke Contest and sing some songs from Craftia."

"You know what, that sounds like a great idea!" Twilight said.

"Yeah, I'm down. Let's do this!" Rainbow added.

"Alright, I'm going to get the other Mobs and tell the princesses. You girls tell the mayor and spread the news."

With a nob, everypony went to get everything ready. The mayor was delighted to approve this Endercon. Soon she informed everypony in Ponyville about it before they all went to work. Shadow teleported to the castle and told Celestia and Luna about it. They both liked the idea, especially Luna since it's at night. Shadow then went to the Crystal Empire and did the same thing with Cadence and Shining Armor. They were happy to attend the event. They said they will bring their parents with time to see Twilight. Shadow was excited to meet Twilight's parents. Soon, they will be his too in the future. Shadow then gathered all the Mobs (Including Wild Style after some talking and introduction to the others.) and they all went to work.

Later on that night, everypony was having fun and enjoying the festivities. Right now, our heroes are next to a stage which was still being set up for the Karaoke Conest.

"Shadow, this is the best!" Pinkie said happily.

"This is awesome!" Rainbow yelled.

"It was nothing. I thought we could have some fun." Shadow said with pride.

Just then, Celestia and the other guests have arrived. Though, there were two ponies Shadow have never seen before.

Must be Twilight and Shining's parents. Shadow thought.

"I see that the festivities are in order." Celestia said.

"It is, Celestia. Everypony is having the time of their lives." Shadow says as he looks over to the new ponies. "You two must be Twilight and Shining's parents."

"Yes we are, mister. I'm Night Light, and this is my beautiful wife, Twilight Velvet." Night said as he was nuzzled by Velvet for the compliment. "Who are you though?"

"My name is Shadow the Enderpony." Shadow said.

Just then, the entire Mob squad arrived with excitement in each step for tonight. Celestia and Luna were surprised at the new ponies; Shining and Cadence already seen Long Shot, but the others did intimidated them; Velvet moved closer to Night as the Mobs came closer.

"Oh, I see that we have new faces among us." Luna said. "Shadow, who are these ponies?"

"I think introduction is in order. Well, this Long Shot, the Skeleton Pony."

Long simply waved.

"This Yo, the Slime Pony."

Yo smiles as she hops up and down.

"This is Flesh Feeder, the Zombie Pony."

"Just to be clear, I don't eat ponies. So no screaming please." Flesh said a bit annoyed.

"Finally, this is Wild Style, the Spider Pony."

Style was to occupied as she stares at a floating butterfly.

"They are the contestants to the Karaoke Contest. As you can see, the stage is almost ready."

"It is nice to meet you all." Celestia said.

Just then, a small colt came from behind the curtains of the stage and came up to Shadow.

"Everything is all set, Shadow. The stage is ready to go."

"Thanks, Pipsqueak." Shadow thanked before turning towards the others. "Alright, let's do this everypony."

The Mobs nob before they went behind the curtains. Everypony else went to their seats in front of the stage. Soon, Mayor Mare came from behind the curtains.

"Mares and Gentlecolts, tonight is a goodnight for Ponyville's first annual Endercon!" She says with smile.

The crowd roared with joy.

"Me and two other ponies, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody will be judging in the Karaoke Contest. Our contestant are our town's local residential Mobs."

Mayor Mare trotted towards the judge tables along with Vinyl and Octavia. The crowd quiet down as they wait.

"Our first contestant is Flesh Feeder, the Zombie Pony. He will be singing, 'Villagers".

Flesh came walking to the front of the stage with the spotlight shining on him. He cleared his throat before he starts singing.

When the song stopped, everypony was both amazed and horrified. There was some slow clops that sounded in the audience, but they were more awkward then excitement.

"Uh well... that was... something." Mayor Mare chuckled nervously. "Judges?"

Vinyl put up a 4; Octavia put up a 3; and Mayor put a 4. Flesh frowned before going back into to curtains.

"Aright, our next contestant is Long Shot, the Skeleton Pony. He will be singing, 'Sad War'."

All around him are skeleton faces
Same old places, family faces
Getting ready for their daily chases
Going out there, going out there

Her shelves are full of empty glasses
No possessions, full depression
Goes ahead and walks out to the river
Bow and quiver, a bow and quiver

And he heard a person coming
She heard a skeleton
He turned the cliffside corner
and saw what he’d never had

An act that was forbidden
She took a step towards him
They both felt a connection
In a very, very sad war sad war

She’s been waiting for the day she’d find him
Find a best friend, Find a best friend
And they knew that what they did was outlawed
Was illegal, Was forbidden

But they thought that it was worth the danger
No one saw them, no one saw them
But one day the humans got suspicious
Followed her there, Followed her there

And they heard some people coming
They heard some skeletons
Around the cliffside corner
they saw what they’d never had

Two sides were full of hatred
they began the attack
They both were separated
In a very, very sad war sad war
Destroying the world
Sad war

When the song was over, nearly everpony was tearing up as they cheered for such talent.

"That was beautiful..." Mayor Mare said wiping away a tear. "Judges?"

Vinyl had her face against the table as she lifts up a 6; Octavia smiles softly as she gives a 7; and Mayor Mare also gives a 7. Shot smiles before bowing and disappearing behind the curtains.

"Our 3rd contestants will be Yo, the Slime Pony, and Wild Style, the Spider Pony. They will be singing in a duet. The song is, 'Stronger Than You'."

The said Slime and Spider Ponies came up to the stage while wearing matching sweaters with a heart on each one.

I didn’t think that you’d stand here
lemme tell you it was easy making all of your friends disappear
you think you’ve won
now hold still this will hurt a skele-ton

I’m a saint, don’t ask me how
hey sans I guess you’re sans a brother now lol
so, let’s go just me and you
I wonder if you always knew?

go ahead and try to stop me if you’re able
can't you see that my determination’s stable?
never knew resetting worlds could be fulfilling
once you spare me, I’ll just keep on killing

everybody thinks that I’ll come save'em
even though this path is what I’m cravin’
this story has an ending after this fight
you’ll be burning in hell through the night

I’m not afraid
of love.
Love.
Love.

This is where we are
This is how it ends
I don't know why you think that there's a chance we could be friends
but somewhere deep inside me, i'm screaming out your name
I've given up myself, I know we'll never be the same...

go ahead and try to stop me if you’re able
you know that my determination's stable
all the promises you kept are slowly dying
I guess You must be so sick of trying

I wanna the one to paint it black
your sins are done crawling all over my back

There's no one to save
This will be your grave
Despite all the chances that you gave...

I’m not afraid
of love.
Love.
Love.
and I'll do it again.
Love.
Love.
Love.
and I'll do it again.
Love.
Love.
Love.
and I'll do it again.
Love.
Love.
Love.

As the song ends, the crowd cheers for the duos. Some of the stallions even whistled and chanted their names.

"How gorgeous... judges?" Mayor asks.

Vinyl smile a little as she puts up a 6; Octavia gives an 8; and Mayor Mare gives a 7. The Mob duos cheered a bit as they head backstage.

"Next up is Ponyville's hero, Shadow the Enderpony. He will be singing, 'Never Let You Go'."

Shadow walked up before he smiled.

"This song is dedicated to my very special somepony, Twilight Sparkle!"

The spotlight then shined on Twilight. She was surprised and happy at the same time. Though, she felt a little shy from all the attention. Night, Velvet, and Shining were also surprised by this. Cadence, on the other hoof smiled as she, the Princess of Love saw this coming before. The crowd awed before cheering. They quiet down as Shadow began singing.

You only need a torch when the light is low
Only need the sun when the monsters groan
Only know your lover when you let them go.
Once so high now I'm feeling low
This house is no longer our home
Only know your lover when you let them go
Ill never let you go.

Staring at your picture from the past, replay moments from first to last
coz days go slow, and sleep so fast
I see you when I close my eyes, hope you know how hard I tried
Coz you know, ill never say goodbye.

You only need a torch when the light is low
Only need the sun when the zombies groan
Only know your lover when you let them go.
Only think I've one last chance to show, only feeling lost and all alone
Only know your lover when you let them go.

This world looks different in the dark, but with every ending will bring a fresh start
You're never alone, coz you have my heart.
Block to block ill slay the mobs, ill never lose you so you'll never feel lost
I'm getting closer with every biome crossed.

Twilight was starting to tear up with joy as Shadow sang to her with such passion. Some of the other couples smiled as they held closer to each other as they too was taken by this beautiful song.

You only need a torch when the light is low
Only need the sun when the zombies groan
Only know your lover when you let them go.
Gonna take this one last chance to show, never wanna be lost and all alone
Only know your lover when you let them go.
Ill never let you go

You only need a torch when the light is low
Only need the sun when the zombies groan
Only know your lover when you let them go.
Guess I took my one last chance to show, you'll never be lost and all alone
Only know your lover when you let them go.

The crowd then cheered as they yelled for another song.

"That was really lovely... judges?"

Vinyl smiled as she raised hers to an 8; Octavia also puts up an 8; and Mayor Mare gives a 9.

"Well, I say that our winner of our First Annual Endercon Karaoke Contest is-"

"Wait!"

Mayor Mare was interrupted by Pipsqueak as he runs up and whisper something in her ears before running off stage. This confused everypony before Mayor Mare got back their attention.

"It seems that there are 2 last minute entries. Our next entry will be... Writer Page. He will be singing, 'Through The Night'."

There came a grey unicorn stallion with black mane, tail, and a small beard. There was dark grey streaks in his mane, while his tail is as long and straight as Octavia's to her interest. Some ponies were muttering if it could be Octavia's brother. He was also wearing a blue suit and red tie. Along with a dark grey undershirt with glasses. His cutie mark is a picture of a book being written.

"Hello, everypony. I am Writer Page. I would also like to dedicate a song to my love, Cherry Bomb!"

Another spotlight shined on a very excited red pegasus mare. She had long straight red mane and tail with as there was a pink streak that goes through them. She also was wearing a pair of red bracelets. Her cutie mark is a picture of cherries being lit like a bomb.

Writer then began to sing.

It's a new day, gotta stay alive,
Just answer, Is it your will to survive?
Playing Hardcore, all alone,
I gotta get to the end, on my own.

Grabbing my pick, got some things to find,
I know I have to explore, it's a grind.
Building a house, a new home.
Journey into the unknown.

If you can craft, you can mine,
Or use a sword, you decide,
Just do your best in this fight,
There is only one way through the night!

Here in this hell, I've been once before
Getting that blaze rod I need, just one more,
Make no mistake, Not this time,
Victory soon, will be mine.

Got what I need, got all my supplies,
I want to conquer the end, that's my prize,
Who is that girl, I don't know,
Is she a friend, or a foe?

If you can craft, you can mine,
Or use a sword, you decide,
Just do your best in this fight,
There is only one way through the night!

This is the goal, we've been working for
Defeat the Ender-Dragon, win the war
There's no way back, down below
Into the void we will go

Desolate place, now we're all alone,
we have to fight to the death, can't go home,
No option to run away,
Give it our best, win the day

If you can craft, you can mine,
Or use a sword, you decide,
Just do your best in this fight,
There is only one way through the night!

The crowd cheered on as Cherry started doing mini flips while flying in the air.

"That was amazing... judges?"

Vinyl put up a 7; Octavia gives a 7; Mayor Mare gives a 9. Writer pumped his hoof before going backstage.

"Now our final entry for tonight is... Black Ender! He will be singing, 'Warfare',"

Soon, a midnight blue unicorn stallion came onto the stage. What was weird was that he looked like Shadow, only smaller and he had the same cutie mark, except it was blue instead of blue-ish green.

"Greetings, everypony. I'm glad to be here tonight. I hope you like the song."

I was left
all alone
In the - e - e - e night

Many times
Ran away
from all the fights

and the walls kept crumbling down
in our city that we love

Many zombies come over the hills
with their darkness all above

but if we close our eyes
Does it almost feel like
We will kill them all
and if we close our eyes
does it almost feel like
Weve done this before

How am I gonna live through all this fricken warfare x2

We were caught and we lost
in all of our battles

in our ranks
we were scared
we feared we'd lose them

and our walls then crashed on down
in our city
that we love

many zombies come over the hills
with their darkness all above

but if we close our eyes
Does it almost feel like
We will kill them all
and if we close our eyes
does it almost feel like
Weve done this before

how am I gonna live through all this warfare x2

does it almost feel like we've done this before

Oh where did this begin

the zombie in our ranks

Oh where did this begin

the zombie in our ranks

The stallion's horn glowed as he summons a blank and purple guitar to everypony's surprise and played a solo.

but if we close our eyes
Does it almost feel like
We will kill them all
and if we close our eyes
does it almost feel like
Weve done this before

how am I gonna live through all this fricken warfare x2

Does it almost feel like
We will kill them all

Soon everypony cheered at this mysterious pony.

"That was fantastic... judges?

Vinyl put up a 10; Octavia gave it a 9; and Mayor Mare also gives a 9.

"And it looks like we have a winner, best singer is Black Ender!"

Everypony cheered as Black Ender bowed and left the stage. Soon, the scoreboard was put up as it showed the scores.

1st Place Black Ender 'Warfare'

2nd Place Shadow 'Never Let You Go'

3rd Place Writer Page 'Through The Night'

4th Place Yo & Wild Style 'Stronger Then You'

4th Place Long Shot 'Sad War'

5th Place Flesh Feeder 'Villager'

Everypony applause as they depart, but unknown to them, two familiar figures was peering from the darkness with anger in their gaze.

"How is he here?"

"We'll find out soon."

Author's Note

Here is some of my OC mix pack!

Chapter 14 - Both Sides To One's Story (Part 1) [Re-edited]

It was by far the best night for our heroes. The Endercon was a complete success. Everypony had a really good time, especially from the karaoke contest. It as already late at night and the Royal Sisters decided to head back to the castle after saying a good night to everypony. The rest went to have dinner as a celebration. Right now, everypony was on top of the wide balcony at Shadow's mansion having a delicious pixel dinner. Though, Twilight's family was curious about her 'coltfriend'.

"So... you are my daughter's coltfriend?" Night Light said as he looks at Shadow.

"You are very correct, Mr. Light." Shadow answered.

"Just Light would do please. I feel like an old stallion like that."

"Okay, I can live with that."

"What do you do for a living?" Velvet asked.

"I currently have accepted a job opening as a bodyguard for a pony name, Filthy Rich."

"You didn't have a job before?"

"No ma'm, I was jobless when I was came to Equestria."

"Then how did you afford this mansion?" Night asked.

"Built it myself. My kind has the ability lift blocks and we can build many structures."

Night seems to be impress by Shadow's skill. Although, he did had a few more questions.

"When did you started dating my daughter?" Night asked suspiciously.

"We have recently gotten together since last night. We haven't went out on a real date yet." Shadow asked truthfully.

"Is this true, Twilight?" Velvet asked.

"Yes, and I couldn't be anymore happier." Twilight says sheepishly.

Night and Velvet looked at each other before smiling.

"I would like to say welcome to the family, Shadow." Night says smiling.

"My little Twily is growing up!" Velvet said tearing up with joy.

Twilight blushed with a bit of embarrassment.

"Speaking of growing up, where did you three come from?" Shadow asks the new ponies.

"Well, me and Cherry came from Manehatten. I used to work there as novelist. I wrote stories and occasionally did management when my boss wasn't around to supervise." Page said as he nibbles on a pixel apple.

"I made my delicious candy at a candy shop." Cherry added.

"Interesting, what brought you two here from such a long trip?" Rarity asks.

"Well, my boss had to close down his shop because not enough ponies show up and buy our candy." Cherry explained. "For Writer here, he said that he quit his job."

"Why would do that?"

"My bills have been getting to much for me to keep up with and my previous job wasn't paying enough." Writer says.

"How come you couldn't find another job, or take a part-time one?"

"It's kind of hard to find one in that city. Everything there is productive and busy that they don't hire that much. So, I thought I could come down here to live a more peaceful life. Besides, this place is beautiful and quiet."

"Oh, I'm sorry you had to move, but I should tell you that you picked the right spot to live." Twilight said.

"But what are you two fellows going to do for a job?" Applejack asks.

"Well, I was going to head over to Canterlot tomorrow to get a job as a reporter for the newspaper." Writer answered.

"And I'm going to work for Bon Bon since she's your town's local candy maker. I'm sure she'll like some of my recipes." Cherry also answered.

"Well good for you two." Twilight smiles.

"What about you, Ender?" Rainbow asks. "What's your story?"

"I'm from nowhere and everywhere..." Ender only said.

"...uh, that doesn't really answer my question."

"I'm sorry, but Ender here isn't really the social type." Writer explains.

"That doesn't mean he can't answer a simple question."

"Well, it was a nice dinner, but we must be on our way." Cherry says quickly.

"Already?" Shadow asks. "Well, I guess we'll see you three next time."

"Alrighty then, bye-bye!"

With that, the three guests left post haste.

"That was weird." Shining said. "But they do have a point. I think it might be time to sleep for the night. It's getting very late."

"I agree." Says Night. "Well, thank you for the meal, Shadow, and bid you all farewell."

"We got to go too." Wild Style said getting up. "Thanks for dinner, Shadow."

Soon, everypony and Mob got up (after helping clean up of coarse.) and headed out the door. Although, Night Light and Velvet stopped at the door.

"Twilight..." Velvet calls over.

"Yeah?" Twilight asks.

Velvet leans closer and whispers something into Twilight's ear. Whatever it was, it made Twilight blush furiously to Shadow's confusion.

"MOM!!"

"What is it, Twilight?" Shadow asks.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!"

"I was just reminding her to use-"

"Mom! Please don't tell him!"

Shadow giggled at Twilight's antics. Soon, everypony went on home minus Mirror since it is her home. After tucking in Mirror in her bed, Shadow was about to head up stairs for the night when he noticed a small present next to the door. It was black with purple wrapping. He picked up the small gift as it felt a little heavy. Curious, Shadow open the lid and was shocked to see a glowing golden apple. It was none other then the rare Notch Apple. Shadow then saw a tag attached to the box. It said it was from Black Ender. How in the nether did he get this?

Somewhere in Ponyville, outside of a motel was Writer Page, Cherry Bomb, and Black Ender. Who was actually GEO after de-cloaking his disguise.

"That was too close back there." Writer says. "They were almost on to us."

"We're fine, Writer. They didn't suspect anything." GEO said looking into his communicator.

"I don't think 'nowhere and everywhere' was the best choice of words."

"It's true isn't it? I been through places that is out of everybody's reach. Well, except for the Doctor of course."

"Can you believe that we actually got to meet the characters." Cherry asks excited.

"I couldn't believe it either." Writer says looking for his keys. "Although, I wish we could of been in the first episode. Still don't know how we came to this world in the first place."

"It was Herobrine." GOE said looking up. "It'll be a matter of time till he commence with his plan."

"Which is..."

"How am I suppose to know? Your the author of this story."

"Yeah, I know that Mr. Jedi. The problem is that I never finished it before we were suck into this place many years ago. It' pretty much up to fate at this point."

"Actually, it's up to the narrator to decide what happens next. How else is this story continuing without you?" Cherry said with smile.

"Oh yeah, hey Narrator," Writer says looking at me somehow. "Can you skip ahead to when Shadow-"

"ENOUGH!" GOE yells startling both ponies. "Look, I know we know about the fourth-wall and all, but we can't break it. Galactic rules."

"How is it that were normal human turned ponies, but you're a human turned Jedi pony who gets to patrol the universe?"

"Because I put more effort on my OC."

"Whatever..." Writer says as he opens the door to their room. "You coming with us, or are you going to your spaceship thing?"

"First off, it's a space station. Second, yes. I need to find out what Herobrine is planning. Since you didn't finish this story out there, he is dangerously unpredictable."

"He's just a Troller, GOE. How is he a threat? He's free from the Nether. What more does he want?"

"Writer, sometimes in life, things don't seem to really appear to be." Just then, GOE's communicator starts ringing. "Well, it has been fun, but I must bid you two farewells and goodnight."

"Why do you talk like that? Just because your OC is a Jedi, doesn't mean you have to act like it."

"When living for a thousand years, you grow to become more wiser."

"Whatever, see you later."

With a nod, GOE was then surrounded in a blue light before he disappears out of sight.

"That wasn't really nice back there." Cherry frowned.

"It's just annoying sometimes when he treats me like a child... or colt."

"Well you do make bad decisions sometimes. Like that 'other' story you wrote."

"Ugh... Don't mention it."

"What are we going to do tomorrow?"

"Well, I'm planning on getting a job somewhere in Canterlot."

"Why Canterlot? You know those ponies there are snobs. Well, minus Fancy Pants. He's a true noble."

"The jobs there pay well. I also have been meaning to have a talk to the princess."

"For what?"

"...Something important..." Writer says as they go into their room.

Cherry was confused, but knowing Writer for so long, she decided to not push it anymore.

"What about you, what are you going to do while I'm gone?"

"I've actually been thinking that I should apply for a job too."

"Is is candy related?" Writer smirked as he and Cherry climb into bed.

"You bet your suit it's candy related."

"No! Not my suit!"

Cherry giggles as she moves closer and gives Writer a peck on the lips.

"Your so silly."

The couple smiled as they drift off to sleep while cuddling with each other.

Meanwhile in the outer Atmosphere...

"Sir, dinner will be ready in 5 minutes." A mare in uniform says as GOE stares out the window.

"Thank you, Mary. How is Trixie's progress in the training room?"

"She is actually improving. She'll be above average in combat training."

"Excellent." GOE turns towards the mare. "What is the status on the Micro Seekers?"

"Our engineers will have them ready by tomorrow."

"Perfect, could you please inform Trixie that dinner will be read?"

"Yes, sir."

As the mare leaves to fulfil her duties, GOE turns back towards the window with a sigh.

"Something troubling you?"

GOE turns around to see a familiar brown Pegasus wearing an Assassin's Creed robe.

"Oh, Thunder Driller, fancy seeing you here."

"Normally, I wouldn't come to his oversized white Dorito, but I've gotten the weapon you wanted for the Enderpony." Driller said showing GOE his package.

"Well done, anything to report?"

"Unfortunately, yes I do. Me and the spies detected supernatural energy waves in the Everfree Forest."

"Supernatural? That kind of levels come from the-"

"Midnight Zone. I know."

GOE looks back out the window that shows a full view of Equis.

"What are you up to Herobrine?"

This chapter will tell you my time in Equestria. I've done some research and I couldn't find the correct timeline in the story, only the season. So, I subtracted the year when the first show aired. I hope you like the chapter and thank you all for the 90th likes, and I will talk to you all later.

And for the record, I'm not using my real name. Nothing personal, it's just for security precaution.

BONUS Chapter #3 - A Writer's Beginning I

March 10, 2016 - Coalinga

3rd Person Per.

It was late in the afternoon as the rain continues to fall. It was not really a fun day for Tim. Every time he would look out the window, it show nothing but grey clouds and falling raindrops. There was nothing to do but watch TV and play video games. It may of been fun to do if he already played with them for the 100th time. It gets really boring after awhile. Right now, Tim was sitting in his living room, watching a movie; Jaws.

"Heh, I like the classics."

"Tim!" A voice called out.

Tim turned around to see his dad putting on his jacket.

"I'm going to head out and pick up your sister from her friend's house. I'm leaving you in charge."

"Sure thing."

"Want anything while I'm out?"

"Some soda would be nice."

"Alright, see you in a little bit."

"Have fun."

With a nod, Dad went out the door and left Tim with his movie. A few minutes past before the door opened a bit roughly.

"Forgot something?" Tim asked, watching Jaw eating the fisherman from the sinking boat.

"You could say that Mr. Writer." A new voice said.

This got Tim's attention as he gets up to only go wide eye at the new 'guest'. The intruder was a man wearing an aqua colored shirt and purple pants. What scared Tim was the white glowing eyes on the man's smiling face.

"Who the fuck are you?!" Tim yelled.

"You full on know who I am." The figure smiled.

"No I don't! Now get out of here, or I'll call the cops!"

Tim tried to grab his phone, only for it to explode in his hand. Tim was startled by this before hearing a click. He looked up to see the man holding gun, pointing it towards him.

"I don't think so."

"L-Look! Let's talk about this! If you want money, my wallet is in my bed-"

"I don't want your money"

This seem to confuse Tim. What burglar doesn't want to steal?

"Then what do you want?"

The man did nothing but form a smile on his face that unnerve Tim even more.

"...Entertainment..."

Tim barely had time to react before the man pointed the gun to his face and pulled the trigger. Everything turned dark as a laugh echoed.

October 24, 1995 - Manehatten

Tim's POV.

I didn't know how long was I out, but it felt like forever. Who was that man? But most importantly, where was I? I groggily opened my eyes to see a brick wall. This confused me as I looked around my surroundings. To my surprise, I was in the middle of an alleyway of some sort. If I really did died, then this can't be heaven. I imagined it more cleaner than this. I tried standing up, but for some reason, I end up falling back down from each attempt.

"What the buck?"

I suddenly realized that I said something else.

"Buck? F-buck. Fu-fuu-buck!"

Why am I saying that instead of cursing?! I tried to get up again, but as I looked down, I froze. Instead of my regular, everyday hands, it was replaced with something small and light grey.

It was a hoof.

...

It was grey hoof.

...

It was a bucking grey hoof.

...

Now, a normal person would be calm and try to figure this out without panicking. The problem is... I'm not that person.

"WHAT THE BUCK HAPPENED TO ME?!!"

I franticly looked around and saw a broken mirror stand nearby. I wobbly walked towards it and gotten a full view of myself. And let me tell you, this was not my ideal of being in heaven. I was a small little pony. A colt to be specific. I was light grey with swirly black hair with grey streaks. On my forehead was a small horn. I turned around to see a small, but fairly long pitch-black tail. I turned back around and spotted a red tie attached to my neck with my glasses on my face. At least they came with me too.

After a few more minutes of panicking and asking myself questions no one would answer, I finally calmed down and sat next to a trash can.

'Okay, let's get this straight' I thought. ' I spend my afternoon watching a movie, but then some random ass guy bursts in a shoots me in the face. I wake up, and I have the body of a colt version of my OC character. Possibly 5 years old at best, and I'm in the land of Equestria.'

I look at the entrance of the alleyway and saw ponies trotting left and right. Some wearing fedoras and fancy hats, while others were wearing suits and dresses. My inner Brony-self wanted to jump around in joy and say 'yay' over and over again. Although, the other part of me was saying 'Nope'. It was that I don't want to be here. It's just condition I'm in is the problem. I've read enough FIM-Fictions to know what happens to human-turned foals. I seriously did not want to deal with Child Services or any other crap. So asking for help from regular ponies isn't going to help. Though, if I can't ask those ponies for help, then I go ask help from-

"-the princesses..." I realized. "Of course! They can be able to help me!"

After awhile of practicing, and falling on my face, I trotted out of the alleyway and into sidewalk. I got to say, this place looks really busy. I barely had enough time to dodge passing ponies. Kind of rude to not notice a tiny colt walking by. Wearing a cool tie if I might add! Anyway, as I trotted down to some random direction since I didn't know where I am, I soon found a newspaper stand of some sort. Curious, I headed over to the stand to see a purple Earth Pony mare with black mane and tail running the stand.

"Hello there, sweetie." The mare greeted kindly. "What can I get you?"

"Hi," I replied nervously. "Could I have one newspaper, please?"

"Certainly." She said as she pull out a fresh sheet. "That will be 1 bit, sweetie."

Realization came to me. I don't have any money. I should of thought of that before asking. Just I was about to decline, I saw something shiny laying near the stand. It was a bit! Lucky me! I picked up the little gold coin and exchanged it with the nice mare.

"Thank you, is there anything else I could get you?"

"No thank you, but can you tell me where is the nearest train station is?

"Oh! Well, the Manehatten Train Station is a couple of blocks down in that direction to your left."

"Thank you."

The mare smiled as she waves me goodbye. I waved back before continuing on. After some more trotting I soon ended up in a park were I spotted a bench. As I sat down, which was weird when sitting like a dog, I thought back on what the mare said.

'Manehatten?'

I set the newspaper down as I look at the front cover. It said 'Bank Robbers Strike AGAIN!' with a black and white picture of Royal Guards searching the crime scene of the bank that was robbed.

"So much for protection in this damn city." I muttered.

I guess things are a little different than it was on the show. Anyway, I continued to read the texts in the printed paper, but when I reached the date when it was edited, I was completely shocked.

"1995?!" I may of yelled too loudly.

Some of the passerby looked at me funny before carrying on. I blushed from my outburst.

'1995... I bucking traveled through time as well.' I thought.

If I'm correct, then that would mean I'm in the timeline were Princess Luna was still banished to the moon. Such a shame, she was my favorite princess out of the four of the show. Well, I guess beggars can't be choosers. Celestia will have to do. I hopped down from the park bench and I headed to the direction of the train station the mare told me.

Welp, that plan went down hill pretty bucking fast. Apparently, management doesn't like free-loaders that don't have money. I wouldn't like people too if they don't pay for services too if we switched roles, but that bucker didn't had to literally toss me out of his office!

"-and stay out!" The manager yells before slamming the door closed.

"I could of walked out of there myself you flank-hole!"

Even in this world, some ponies can be a bunch of assholes. I was just a colt no less! Just when I was about to find a police officer of some sort to report child abuse, (Yeah, I'm that type of asshole myself.) I heard bells go off. I look at the public clock on top of the building. It showed that it was 7:00pm, and night time was coming fast.

'Better find some place to sleep for the night. I'll try again tomorrow.'

With a look of defeat, I headed down back to where the park was.

'I guess I could sleep on that bench if it's not raining, and if it is, then a tree could work too.'

As I trotted to the direction of the park, I look around and to tell you the truth, it looked depressing. There were garbage littered in the streets, and I saw a couple of homeless ponies trying to stay warm next to the bonfires. They looked sad themselves.

'Celestia's mane, this is very unsettling.'

"Hey you!"

I stopped and turned around to see 3 stallions glaring at me. One was a white Pegasus with a stupid green haircut, the second was a brown Earth Pony with cap, and the third was the tallest. He was a black-coated unicorn with a mark on his right eye and knife on his flank. Possibly his cutie mark.

"What's a little colt like you doing in our territory?" The brown one asked, or demanded.

"Your territory? This is just the streets." I say bluntly.

Suddenly, I felt weightless as a red aura surrounds me. I struggled, but it was fruitless. I appeared near the black pony.

"I don't think I like your attitude. Boys, I think we should teach him some." The black pony says pulling out a knife and held it close to my neck.

There was one thing I have in my mind that is repeating over and over in panic.

'OH. HELL. NO!!'

I struggled as much as I can till I had managed to hit his horn. He hissed in pain as I land onto the ground.

"What are you waiting for?! Get him!"

I didn't waste any time as I turned around and ran as fast as I can as rain started to pour down. I looked back and saw both the black and brown ponies were running towards me. I was wondering where was the white one was, but my answer was given to me as a white blur came nearly hitting me. I looked up and see that he's flying. As he was coming back, I was able to sidestep out of the way as he crashes into the unicorn. The brown one was hot on my tail ( No pun intended) as he gets closer. Where is the royal guards or police when you need them?!

Just as he was about to grab me with his teeth, I saw up ahead a couple of trash cans. With a adrenaline, I jumped over the tin cans, narrowly missing a lid. I looked back and saw the brown pony crash in them. I was relieve at first, but it was short lived as I looked forward to see the other too brutes coming towards me. They must of used a shortcut. I franticly looked around and saw a turn off coming up. As the two were closing our distance, I made a sharp turn and into the same alleyway I appeared to this place. I thought I might lose them, but that hope flew out the window as I crashed into a fence. I looked around and saw no opening. I turned around and saw the three thug ponies looking at me with intimidating snarls and glares. The Pegasus had a couple of scratches, the Earth Pony was covered in rotten food and other garbage, and the unicorn had a black eye.

"There's nowhere to run and nowhere to hid you little brat!" The unicorn said.

A small part of me wanted to go fight these creeps, but the bigger part of me was too scared to do anything.

"Please don't kill me!" I begged as tears started to fall from my face.

"We'll see about that after we re-arrange your face." He smirked.

They were coming closer to me, backing me into the corner of the alley. This was it. I will never see my family, friends, or girlfriend ever again. I would die tonight and nopony and nobody would know. I close my eyes as I prepare for the worst, making my last thoughts about the ones I love.

3rd Person Per.

Just as the thug ponies were going in for the kill, the sound of thunder echoed through the alleyway. This startle the three stallions as they turn around to see a unicorn silhouette with glowing white eyes. This confused the stallions before the mystery pony spoke.

"Leave. The Colt. Alone." The mysterious stallion said with such authority.

"Eh, get lost, bub! This does not concern you!" The black pony yelled.

There was a moment of silence till the dark unicorn pulled out a small metallic pipe out from his robe. The three ponies looked on before they started laughing.

"Your actually going to fight us with a flashlight?!" The white Pegasus said laughing. "Either you're stupid like those blank flanks out there, or you want a death wish!"

Their laughter came to a halt as another sound echoed in the dark alley. The looked and see that the 'flashlight' showing a long sword-like light illuminating the once dark alleyway as it continues to buzz.

"I'm going to give to the count of 5 to leave or else."

"Boss, what do we do!?"

"Just get him you idiots!"

"But what about that thing he's holding?"

"It's nothing but some fancy light!"

"Buck it! I'll deal him myself!!"

"Yaa-"

WOOSH

TTSS

THUMP

"AAAHH!!!"

Everything went so fast. One second, the leader tries to take out the other unicorn with his knife, the next... he's laying on the floor screaming in agony as his left hoof is slice clean off with a bit of burning flesh. The two goons looked on shock and terrified as the mystery unicorn points his weapon at them.

"That was a warning, leave now, or suffer the same fate!!

Choosing the right decision, the two goons ran past him and picked up their whimpering leader before leaving the alleyway. The unicorn looked back at Tim as he walks towards him. He lifts the small colt to find out that he is out cold. Possibly by exhaustion and loss of adrenaline rush. He puts the sleeping colt over his back as he conjured up a shield, keeping them dry form the heavy rain. The two soon left the alley leaving nothing but a separated hoof.

To Be Continued...

Chapter 14 - Both Sides To One's Story (Part 2 Final)

Another yet, cheerful day in Ponyville as Shadow was finally able to go out and get some school supplies for Mirror Coat. It was really weird to find a shop that sells only quills and sofas. Anyway, after letting Mirror go off to do whatever she please, Shadow headed to the school to get Mirror registered. He was so excited and nervous. He's going to have to tell Cheerilee about Mirror's identity in the future. His plan was to slowly get enough ponies in town to accept the changeling. Right now, he is outside the school house. He smiled as he sees colts and fillies playing in the school yard.

"Alright," Shadow sighed. "Let's do this."

Shadow went through the door as he saw Cheerilee. She was apparently on her lunch break.

"Excuse me?" Shadow said.

Cheerilee looked up as she was about to eat her daisy sandwich.

"Oh! Good afternoon, Shadow." She smiled. "How have you been?"

"I've been doing good. How about you?"

"I'm doing just fine. Thank you for asking. What can I do for you?"

"I came to get my daughter, Violet Rose registered for school."

"Why of course! I would love to have her in my class. You just need to talk to Mayor Mare for the paper work and she can come tomorrow."

"Thank you." Shadow was about to leave when he had an idea. "Say, Miss Cheerilee?"

"Cheerilee is fine, dear."

"Okay, Cheerilee, are you and the students doing anything today?"

"Actually, yes. After recess, we are going to the Everfree Forest to learn about some of the life and plants there." She say, finishing her lunch. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, I might of made a good impression with the ponies in Ponyville, but I wanted to make a better one with the children. I want them to be able to befriends with Rose without them worrying about me. I think some of them are still a bit intimidated from that fight with Trixie."

"That's really thoughtful of you, Shadow. You know what? If you like, you can come along with me and help watch that student. I heard you were really strong."

"Thanks." Shadow smiled as he blushed. "Just let me go talk to someone before we leave."

"Okay, I see in a bit."

After saying their goodbyes, Shadow teleported to SugarCube Corner to talk with Pinkie about making Ender cupcakes. (Basically dark chocolate with purple frosting.) He soon sees the girls having a conversation. Shadow smirked as he quietly makes his way to Twilight. The others saw Shadow, but before they could greet him, he grabbed Twilight making her 'eep' in surprise before kissing her. Twilight was surprised before going into the kiss too. The girls blushed from the sight.

"How's my Ender-Crystal doing?" Shadow asked (Sorry if nickname is terrible.)

"I'm doing good" Twilight giggled. "How about you? What are you doing?"

"I came to ask Pinkie if she could make some cupcakes for me."

"Who are they for?" Fluttershy asks.

"They are for the children when they get out of school. I thought of doing something for them since I'll be watching them."

"That's very nice of you, darling. Although, where are you going that you need to watch them" Rarity asks.

"They will be going to the Everfree Forest for a field trip. So they somepony to keep an eye on them."

"Just be careful." Twilight said nuzzling Shadow.

"I will." Shadow returned the gesture. "By the way, what were you girls talking about before I got here?"

"Dashie was enrolled into the Wonderbolt's Academy! She has been gone for 2 hours and she hasn't sent a letter!" Pinkie said before looking into a mailbox.

"Oh, well good for her. I hope she haves a fun time."

Just then, a bell sounded off from the distance.

"Oh! It's time! Pinkie, could you make some-"

"Already on it!" Pinkie said showing a batch of the request cupcakes.

"Thanks, just send them to the school when we're gone."

"You got in, Endy!" Pinkie smiled. (You all didn't think I would forget to have Pinkie give a nickname for Shadow, did you?)

Before Shadow could leave, Twilight called out.

"Wait! Aren't you going to ask how Pinkie knew you needed those cupcakes? Doesn't that seem weird to you?"

"Nope. When you live in a land where trees float after chopping their stumps, you get used to weird things."

This confused Twilight before she just shrugged. After saying their goodbyes, Shadow teleported back to the school to find the playground was empty.

"Must be inside." He muttered.

Shadow slowly walked through the door to see Cheerilee talking to the class. She saw Shadow before looking back at the students.

"Now class, we will be having a special guest with us on our field trip. So, I want all of you to be nice and show respect." Cheerilee announced.

The class said their okays as the wait wondering who their guest is. Shadow got his time and stepped to the front of the class. The some of the students seemed eager to be with the Enderpony, while the others seemed nervous.

"Hello, everypony." Shadow broke the silence. "My name is Shadow. Ponyvilles one and only Enderpony. I will be watching you all during the field trip."

"Hey, Shadow!" A familiar english voice called.

"Hey, Pipsqueak! How is my little stage manager doing?"

"I'm doing good! I'll be doing better now that you're here." Pipsqueak said.

"Thanks." Shadow smiled.

"We're having that thing watching us."

The class fell silent as they all stared at the familiar annoying pink filly we all unfortunately know, Diamond Tiara.

"Cheerilee, of all the thing you could of chose, you choose this creep."

"Diamond! That is rude!" Cheerilee scolded.

"Then again, it does make sense to have a monster fight off other monsters." Diamond said.

"Diamond, that is enough!"

"Now hold on," Shadow halted her advance. "I like to get to know her."

On the outside, Shadow looks calm and doesn't mind, but in the inside, he wanted to toss her into the void in The End for eternity.

"Who are you by any chance?"

"My name is Diamond Tiara, and you better just walk away. My daddy owns this town." She smirked.

"Well, that's really interesting. Although, the only problem to that is that it's Mayor Mare who runs it. Your father doesn't have that much power."

Cheerilee can already tell where this going.

"Ha! I can have my daddy buy and sell you. A creature like yourself doesn't belong anywhere but the dungeons."

This shocked both Cheerilee and the class as the room became very silent. They all looked at Shadow for a response, but surprisingly, he is still keeping on a friendly smile. He soon started chuckling to their confusion.

"I can already tell that we are going to be wonderful friends."

Before Diamond can make another statement, a voice echoed in her head.

'Now listen here, you selfish, good-for-nothing, little brat. I been trying to be nice and tolerate you for the last few minutes and you're now on a very thin line. I'll have you know that slavery is extremely illegal in Equestria. I have connections to the princesses. Your father has nothing on me. Also, I've gotten a job as a bodyguard for him and your sorry-flank. Either we can let this go and be nice for now on, or we are going to have a problem. And believe me, I will make it look like a bloody accident.'

This terrified Diamond as she only nods in response.

"Awesome, talk to you later."

Shadow walked next to the door before looking back at the kids.

"Now come on, are you kids ready for your field trip?"

The class cheered as if they forget about the scene like nothing happened.

Meanwhile at the Wonderbolt's Academy

Everything was going smoothly. Rainbow Dash was flying all around with her new friend Lightening Dust as they soar threw the sky during their training. Although, this is not what this cutscene is for. Our sight takes place at the front of an entrance to the academy, where two Pegasi security guards standing their posts on the cloud ground.

"So." Guard 1 starts. "How's the wife and kids?"

"Good." Guard 2 shrugs. "Got any plans for tonight?"

"Not really. I'm just going to go home and relax like usual."

"Cool... What do you think of the new rainbow-maned mare?"

"Her? I guess she's alright, but I think that golden-maned one will do better."

"They seem to be the competitive types. I can already tell that something is going to happen."

"I bet 10 bits that the golden one snaps first."

"I will personally give you 30 bits and a free dinner if the rainbow one snaps first instead." Guard 2 said with a cocky smile.

"Deal."

"Don't make promises you can't keep..."

The two guards were startle by a new voice. The turn their attention to a mysterious pony we all know by now.

"Uhh... can we help you?" Guard 1 asks.

"Yes, I'm here for an important meeting with Spitfire." GOE stated.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

"Then you can't come through. She is on a busy schedule and she doesn't have time to have small talk."

"I don't need an appointment." GOE said waving his hoof.

Guard 1 was about protest when his mind went blank. A moment later, he spoke.

"You don't need an appointment." The guard repeated.

"You will let me in without any interruption."

"I will let you in without any interruption."

"Move along."

"Move along... move along." The guard continue to repeat as he moves aside.

GOE nods before walking past the guards and towards an office across the cloud air field. Guard 2 was confused as to what happened.

"Hey, Wind?" Guard 2 asks. "Why did you let that guy in? I thought you said he couldn't."

"What guy, Rain? It's just you and me out here."

Rain was even more confused before he decides to just shrug it off.

"Whatever, it's on you."

Over at Canterlot

Writer was relieved that he got the job as a reporter. Though, he has to admit. His boss was a little intimidating. Not as much like that guy from Spider Man, but in between. Anyway, all Writer had to do was just find some stories that will sell. Good thing there's already a source or sources he could get stories from. He have recently found out that Rainbow just got into the Wonderbolt's Academy. He know for a fact on what's going to happen.

Right now, Writer is heading up the streets that lead to the front gates to the castle. He still has a couple of things he needs to sort out with the princesses. As he walks, he was a bit surprised that he wasn't insulted or glared at. Then again, he is wearing a rather expensive suit. So it shouldn't be a surprise that these snobs would look impressed to see a well dressed unicorn. Writer just looked ahead not even looking at the passing ponies. Up ahead, he finally sees the front gates. As he walks closer, he was stopped by the guards.

"Halt, who goes there?" The same guard from last time asked.

"My name is Writer Page." He answered.

"State your business."

"I'm here to see the princesses."

"Do you have an appointment?"

Writer smirked, but didn't show it.

"Yes, I have scheduled one a couple of weeks ago."

The other guard looks at a clipboard that Writer didn't notice before looking back at the other guard nodding.

"Very well, you may proceed." He says as they moved out of the way.

"Thank you."

With that, Writer trots his way to the castle. The guards went back to their posts. There was a moment of silence before one of the guards finally spoke.

"Well, that went better that last time." He said shivering from his last encounter.

Writer might of been prepared for the guards when he finally decides to visit the castle, but he was not prepared for when he gets lost. This place was huge! So far, Writer was just wondering around trying to find the princesses or somepony to give directions to him. It was empty in the hallways.

"This is stupid." Writer muttered. "Where is everypony?"

His answer was given to him when he starts hearing voices around the corner.

"I know you were the one who took my belongings!"

"Your highness, I'm telling you the truth. I didn't take anything."

"Stop feeding me lies! I know it was you! A peasant like you would be desperate! Now give me back my jewelry or else!"

Writer looked around the corner to see the asshole we all know and hate, Blueblood shouting at a maid. He knows that this isn't his business and it would get him into trouble, but seeing a mare in distress was something he was full on against. So, with a new goal, Writer walks up from behind.

"Is there a problem here?"

Blueblood and the maid turn their attention to Writer. It broke his heart to see the mare close to tears, but he kept his composer.

"Who are you?! Explain yourself!" Blueblood yelled.

"My name is Writer Page. I was originally on my way to meet the princesses, but I heard arguing."

"This is not you business. And if I must say, I'm surprised a pony in ridiculously simple attire like yourself was allowed into the castle."

That was something Writer never wants to hear. He could be made fun of and he would let it go, but nopony... insults his suit!

"And I'm surprised a selfish, insignificant, moron like yourself was given the name of royalty."

Blueblood was shocked before his face turned to anger.

"How dare you insult me?! I'll have you know that I can have you sleeping in the dungeons!"

"Better place to be than to be in the presence of a moron. You would give Wheatley a run for his money."

Before Writer could give another insult, he was punched in the face and fell to the floor.

"YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU PEASANT!!"

Writer looked up with the most unamused expression on his face. He got up and looked at Blueblood in the eyes.

"You know, I tried to be civil and not resort to violence, but since you insist..."

Writer's horn glows in a blue light before it dims down. Blueblood was about to make another statement, when he screams and jumps back.

"What did you do to me?!" Blueblood said startled

"Nothing to rash. I just casted a prank spell on you. For the next 12 hours, you will be seeing jumpscares, and they only get worse after each one." Writer smirked.

Blueblood was about to speak when he screams again and falls onto the floor, wailing and thrashing around like a tipped cow. Writer smiles at his work before looking back at the maid.

"Would you be so kind as to show me were the princesses are?"

"Um... y-yes." The maid said flustered.

Writer then gotten a better look at the maid. She was a Pegasus with white coat and blood red mane and tail. Her eyes were blue just like his.

Everfree Forest

Shadow's Pers.

This was going better that I expected. Even after that little 'chat' with Diamond, I was having a good time. And I think the kids are starting to like me. Some of them were even asking me questions either about me or my homeland. Cheerilee was also fascinated by some of my story. During the trip, we were watched by, what Cheerilee explained to me, Timberwolves. Although, once they saw me, they just simply backed away before hiding in the shadows. Guess news about that manticore spreads fast. Guess I'm the alpha predator around here now. Although, it did worried me that the creatures that live here will spread it all the way to Fluttershy's cottage with the other animals. I'm going to have to explain it when that time comes.

Anyway, we are walking onto a trail that leads back to Ponyville with Cheerilee in the front and me in the back of the line. As time passes, I was having a conversation with the CMC.

"-and she started scolding the cockatrice while it was trying to turn her into stone."

They have been telling me the story of when the 'Stare Master' was born. Although, while this was cool to here that Fluttershy can be so brave, it only makes me more nervous about dealing with her about my 'incident'. Then again, I could always give her my Ender-Stare back, but how could I. I can use it on Minecrafters, but I can't use on her! Oh well, I'll come to that bridge when we come to it. Speaking of bridges, I started to see the entrance to Ponyville dead ahead.

"Alright, class." Cheerilee said getting their attention. "This is the end of our fieldtrip. Once we get back to school, you can all take your belongings and head home."

The class cheered as they hurry along to the school house. I smiled as the little bundle of joys run off to do their thing.

"Shadow, I would like to say thank you for coming along this trip." Cheerilee said with a smile.

"It's was no problem. I'm happy to help."

"Thank you, if you ever want to visit, don't hesitate to come."

"I'll gladly take up on that offer."

After we said our goodbyes, I started walking down the path that leads to a hill. I lay down and stare at the sky. Watching the clouds go by always relaxes me. I these ones are a lot better than the ones in Craftia. That reminds me, when was Herobrine was going to show up? I haven't seen him since my dreams. Then again, he is a Troller. He's probably busy.

ROAAR!!

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise echoing from the distance. I got up and saw that there was smoke coming from the Everfree Forest. Curious, I teleported to the source to see what was up. When I got there, a lot of flames flaring from the grass and trees. But what got my attention was a huge black and red dragon. It was two times taller than me and had two tails.

I never seen any other dragon then the Ender-Dragon. It wasn't as big, but it was still intimidating to stare at. I was glad that I didn't teleport in front of it. I stared as it kept pulling trees out of the ground and either burn them or toss them aside. I was confused. What is it looking for? Well, it doesn't matter. I have to keep it from getting closer to Ponyville. With determination, I teleported closer to the dragon.

"Hey!"

I was able to get it's attention, but before I say another word, I was sent flying as it's claws slashed at my face. It hurt like bucking Nether. As I was getting my footing from the fall, I was then met with a wall of flames. I barely had enough time to teleport before the spot I was in exploded. I teleported to a clearing as it starts to look around for me. I looked over myself and I see a lot of gashes and cuts. I was even burned a bit in the front.

'I can't fight this thing by myself.' I thought 'I'm going to need some help.'

Just I was about to teleport away, I heard a faint noise coming from the distance. It sounded like something, no... somepony was crying. I traced the sound and it was coming from a den under a tree. Before I could take a step, the oversized reptile came back and uprooted the entire tree. As the tree was thrown away, it reveal to my surprise, a small filly. She was a white Earth Pony with light blue mane and tail with a bit of pale blue streak.

The dragon was closing in as the little filly was trying to make herself as small as possible. This mad me so angry. If that thing was going to get to her, it was going to have to get past me. So with a new objective, I teleported to where the filly was and standed over her. I lit up my horn and stared at the dragon. Ready for anything it will throw at me.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Before the dragon can do anything, a hissing noise sounded of from the distance as it started to become louder. Soon, a green blur came flying straight into the dragon's face. On impact, a small explosion sounded off as the figure landed front of us. The dragon roared in pain as it clutches its face. Bits of it was literally blown off, as blood was pouring from its face. I was shocked. Right in front of me was a dark green Pegasus mare. She had black and white mane and tail, but what got my attention was her cutie mark. It was so similar to the danger signs in Craftia. I don't how, but what I'm seeing is another Mob! It was a Creeper Pony!

3rd person

Shadow kept looking until he finally got his scenes.

"Hey, thanks for the save." Shadow said.

"No problem, but don't thank me yet. We need to get rid of this thing." The mare said looking a the growling dragon.

"How? I've read that their skins are hard to break."

"Well... we are about to find out!" The mare smirked. "You stay here and take cover with that filly. I got a plan!"

"Wait!" Shadow yelled before the Creeper turned pony could fly away. "Just so you know, the name's Shadow."

"Awesome name! Mine is Short Fuse! We'll talk later, for now, lets do this!"

Fuse turned around and shot straight up into the sky and into the clouds. A moment later, Fuse came back with a cloud in her grip. She set it in place before she started punching it to Shadow's confusion. Soon, thunderbolts started shooting out and it hit Fuse. She was then covered in blue electricity. Shadow finally gotten the idea and teleported him and the filly to a safe distance. The dragon by now had finally recovered. It roared with pure anger.

"Hey ugly!"

The dragon look up as it sees Fuse coming right towards it with speed that rivals Rainbow Dash's.

"DIVE BOMB!!"

Fuse made contact with the monster. Just from outside of the forest and in Ponyville, everypony see the explosion from the distance.

Shadow was coughing as his 'cover' barely shielded him and the filly. He could see that everything from 20 feet radius was blown to bits. Speaking of bits, there were tons of dragon chunks everywhere. This made Shadow shivered a bit. Though, it was short lived when the bits of dragon started to fade away in purple smoke. This confused Shadow, but it will have to wait when he saw Short Fuse laying in the center of a crater. He teleported to her side with the filly. Amazingly, Fuse looked unharmed, but she does looked exhausted.

"Are you okay?" Shadow asked.

Fuse struggled as she looked up. "Yeah, I'm fine... say, can you walk?"

"Uh... yeah."

"Good... could you do me a favor and get help? I feel like taking a nap..."

With that, Fuse dropped to the ground out cold. Shadow just stared at the mare before slowly nodding to himself. He turned around and looked the filly.

"Why don't we get her some help."

The filly only nodded as she hangs onto Shadow's neck. Shadow levitated Fuse out of the crater and teleported back to Ponyville. One thing is for sure, everypony is gonna have a lot of questions to ask.

Chapter 16 - Restart One Way Or Another (Part 1) (Re-Edited)

Canterlot Castle, Guest Bedroom

Writer Page POV.

You know, having a Moon Pie eating contest with Luna wasn't really my best decision I ever made. It wasn't really a good morning either when you wake up to a tummy ache. I really got to cut back on my sweets. Anyway, after taking a shower and asking a maid to clean my suit, I headed my way towards the dining hall. On the way, I was starting to think back about last night. Should I let that little moment slide? I mean, I know Luna said that it meant nothing, but I'm still a bit worried. Not once have I ever kissed another mare other than Cherry Bomb. Well, technically she kissed me, but still...

"I don't care if he's important or not, I want that commoner kicked out of this castle!"

My train of that was interrupted by the familiar asshole we all know.

"Blueblood." I muttered.

I followed the sound of complaining, which leads to the dining hall. I open the door to reveal Celestia, Luna, Blueblood, and surprisingly Cadence and Shining. Guess they gotten the message. That was fast. Huh, now they're talking about me.

"For the last time, nephew. Our guest, Writer Page will be joining us in this meeting. Frankly, I think you got what you deserve for mistreating Miss Rider." Luna said as she drinks her tea.

Blueblood huffed as he storms out of the room. Though, he gave me a glare when he saw me outside. I just roll my eyes as I trot to the others .

"You know, I keep wondering how that moron gotten the name of royalty." I say as I sit down.

"Oh, good morning, Writer. How did you slept?"

"Morning, Celestia. I slept fine. Though, remind me to never challenge your sister to a pie eating contest." I said rubbing my stomach.

"You should never underestimate you opponent, Sir Writer." Luna giggled.

"Yeah. I think I might of bitten more that I can chew... no pun intended." I blushed.

"Well, I hope you still have room for breakfast." Celestia said as a griffin butler shows up with other servants following.

"What would like for breakfast, your highness?" He said with a Prench accent. (Yeah, living in this place for 21 years with a lot of pony puns can change you.)

After placing our orders, it was just us 5 waiting for our food to come, though I do have some questions.

"So... how have you and Shining been lately, Cadence?"

"We have been doing good." She smiles. "We've been getting the Crystal Empire back on track. Some of the ponies are still a bit shaky, but they're loosing up though."

"That's good," I turn towards Shining. "What about you, what have you been up to?"

"Well, I have assigning the royal guards with more training." Shining said.

"You know, not to criticize you or your troops, but you're not really doing a good job."

"What's that suppose to mean?" He said frowning.

"I'm just saying that you guys weren't that reliable from that wedding incident."

"We were caught off guard." Shining countered. "Not only that, but I was in Chrysalis' control. I couldn't do a thing."

"Actually, she took control of you when you all found out she impersonated Cadence."

"How would you know. I don't remember seeing you at the wedding when it happened." Shining was getting a bit mad.

"I have my ways. Well, since we're on the subject, I was wondering, how weren't you able to tell the difference between what's real and what's not?"

"That is non of your business."

"Does it really matter? Your sister, Twilight was the first to find something suspicious. Even I would of known."

'Considering that I've watched it from the show.'

"Don't bring my sister into this." He narrowed his eyes.

"Hey, there is nothing to be mad about. I'm only saying that you could of prevented that incident from happening if you would of just listen to her."

"I know I didn't, and I regret it, but I assumed she said all that because how the Non-Cadence was acting."

"You know, that's the thing. I know how long you two have been with each other. Cadence is a kind mare with heart wrapped in gold and cotton candy. (I know, it sounds cheesy. My apologies.) Though, you couldn't see the first 6 clues?"

"Why don't you drop it before somepony gets hurt." Shining darkly.

"Shining!" Cadence scolded.

"You think your threats scare me?" I chuckled. "You don't know what I'm capable of."

"You want to bet on it?" He said rising from his seat.

"Writer, Shining, that is quite enough!" Celestia said. "I don't want any-"

"Actually, I would like to. Though, we'll do it after breakfast. I think it's about time I see what you can do. We'll fight in the training yards."

"Writer, what are you doing?" Luna asks.

"I just want to have friendly fight." I smiled. "Shining challenged me, and I chose to accept."

"You're making a mistake." Shining said sitting down.

"We'll see about that you show-pony. You know what, why don't you bring out your guards. It could be a little 'training demonstration'."

"I'll be looking forward to it."

"Same feeling."

The others did nothing but kept quiet afterwards. Cadence and Celestia look worried, while Luna looks interested. I know what you're all thinking. Why am I challenging Shining Armor? Well, there are 4 answers. First off, I want to see how strong he really is. What his so called training has taught him. Second, I don't like him. Third, if I can show his troops how wrong his training method is, then I could have GOE train them instead. For the forth, and I know this may it makes me sound like a colt, but... he started it.

Frozen North, ???

Shadow's POV

Ugh... you know, I'm getting sick of blacking out like this. My head is hurting from that blow, but I'll deal with that later. What's important is I need to get out of this snowstorm. If you're all wondering where the Nether I am, I don't know. When I woke up, I found myself buried in a blanket of snow. I really don't know where I am. When I tried to teleport, it didn't work. I am too weak to use any magic. Not even my own abilities worked. Right now, I'm walking in this blizzard heading to... I don't know, I'm really lost. I lost track of how long I've been trotting. Where did Herobrine even sent me? Though, I think the better question is, who was that pony? I never seen him before in my life. Although, he did sounded familiar for some reason. I'll have to investigate later. I really need to find shelter or something soon, or I'll freeze to death.

"Need. To keep. Going." I huffed as I shovel on.

I am really missing my old body. Us Endermens are cold-blooded thanks to The End. It was cold in that place, so we had to adapt to the lifeless environment. Anyway, this was starting to become bleak. I can already feel my skin getting frostbites. Why is it colder than before? When I had a run in with Sombra, it was able to shrug it off. Now, I'm struggling to keep myself awake.

'I can't believe I'm saying this but... Notch, if you can hear me, please help me out here. I know you don't really care for us Mobs much, but just this once. Can you help me out of this blizzard.'

...What am I thinking? Of course he isn't going to help me. Why would he help any of his brother's creations. We're the ones that cause the war in the first place. No one back home liked us. I already stopped my marching... couldn't move anymore. I can already feel myself fading away as the snow continues to rain down on me. My eye were shedding tears as I hung my head.

"...It's hopeless..."

...

"...No..."

I narrow my eyes as I force myself up.

"I'm tougher than this."

My eyes glowed with determination.

"I can't lose hope."

I was starting to march forward again.

"I might of given up on myself..."

My heart was beating fast. I feel a warm feeling flow all around me as I started galloping.

"But I will not give up on my friends, my daughter, my marefriend."

I never felt so alive as I gallop faster.

"My family!"

Soon, I was glowing brighter than a glowstone. I can feel myself filled with determination. After galloping for Notch knows how long, I see a large shadow just ahead of the blizzard. My eyes widen as I gallop as fast as I can. Soon, I have a full view of something I thought I never see.

"The Crystal Empire!"

I smiled as I finally reached to my destination. Though, when I get a better look now that the blizzard cleared a bit, I was shocked at what I see.

"What...When....How?"

Before me was indeed the Crystal Empire, but it had the message "You got Griefed!" written all over it. Instead of it's original life like shining glory I've seen last time, it showed nothing but total darkness with no signs of life. A tower of depression in which a certain dark unicorn would love. All around me was black crystals and pale greyish colors to where the bright ones used to be.

"When did this happen?" Said to myself. "How can something like this happen agai-"

I stopped myself as I came to the most logical answer. I narrowed my eyes as I grind my sharp teeth with anger.

"Sombra, of course!" I muttered to myself. "He's behind this. How did he survived? I blew him to a million pieces! No, it doesn't matter right now. I need to get in there and stop that tryant."

I paced around a bit before coming up with a plan.

"Alright, I just go in there and repeat what I did. Get the Crystal Heart and put it back in its place. It'll take away his magic. Should be simple. Right?"

I then noticed by horn was glowing a bit as it flickers to life.

"Well, at least I got my strength back. Know I need to do this quick and quietly."

With a new plan, I teleported my way to the city. It was a sight that made me angry. I see a long line of Crystal Ponies all chained in place as the slave away with their pickaxes, literally! I can even see the shadow ponies standing by with no expressions on their faces. They just look like shadowy globs of me with white eyes and black mane and tail. Their sharp teeth showed when they snarl or hiss at a slave and another. This was like the first invention of the Mob Grinder. That was a horrible sight watch. Though, I am thank full that those other Mobs destroyed it. What did they call themselves? Oh, yeah! The Mob Squad! I got to thank them one day. Especially that really enthusiastic Enderman. Everything seems to excite him.

...

I'm getting really off topic, my bad. Anyway, I scan the scene as I see a lot of minions and ponies everywhere.

"I need to go in stealth mode." I said quietly to myself. "It's a good think Twilight taught me a spell for color enchantment."

Walk a bit deeper into the alleyway I was hiding in and charged my horn. In an instant, my usual appearance changed from black and purple to just plain black.

"Hope this works."

With a final check, I walk out of the of the alleyway and head down the street. I was really nervous. I walked by some of those shadow ponies and they didn't seem to mind to my relief. I proceeded my way to the castle when suddenly, I hear a commotion coming from the distance.

"Get back to work you meat sacks!"

I turn around and followed the noises. Soon, I see one of the crystal ponies getting scolded by a shadow pony. I was a bit surprise to hear one of them talk. All I ever heard from them was snarls and hisses. Anyway, I really didn't like what I was seeing. So, I walked over there and confronted the shadow pony.

"Is there a problem over here?" I ask.

"No there isn't." The shadow pony sound like he had two voices. "And why aren't you at your post? You're suppose to stay there and keep these slaves in line."

"Well, I heard some noises and I come to investigate, but it seems you're handling it well. Sorry for disturbing."

"Just get back to work, or I'll report you to our master for disobedience." He snarled.

"My apologies, though, I do have a question."

"What is it?" He seems annoyed.

"Riddle me this, what's black, tall, and is about to be red all over?"

"What?"

"You~"

Before he got the chance to reply, I grabbed a hold of him teleported us into a building. Just what seems like he was about to call for reinforcements, I open my mouth and chopped down on his throat. He squirmed and tried to call for help, but couldn't as I cover his mouth with my hoof. A few seconds later, he went limp and falls to the floor. I looked at his bleeding corpse and sighed. I know that they are evil, but I still don't like taking a life. With that aside, I teleported myself back to the crystal ponies and they seemed to be startled.

"It's alright, I'm going to help." I say softly.

"You're lying." One pony said. "You're just going to feast on one of us without the others knowing."

What the buck?! Do these shadow ponies eat their captives too? Is Sombra even keeping an eye on his little pets?!

I shake my head. "No I'm not. I'm going to get you guys out of here."

"Even if that was true, how are you going to get us out of here? The chains are enchanted so we can't break them."

"You're right, it won't let you break them, but not me."

(I know that Sombra's chains are enchanted so nopony can break them, but I added shadow ponies to the story, so whatever.)

Charge my horn and shot a small beam at the piece of metal. In an instant, it breaks in two before fading. The crystal ponies were shocked by this.

"Who are you?" The free pony ask.

"I am Shadow the Enderpony." I said dropping my disguise to their surprise. "I will free you all and bring down that tyrant once again."

"Again? What do you mean again?" She asks confused.

I didn't hear her as I already went to work on freeing the crystal ponies. If there was a shadow near, I would make a quick kill before going back to work. Eventually, almost all of the crystal ponies were free. Though, it wasn't really pleasant in the mines. When I got there, there was a whole lot of of those shadow ponies guarding their captives. It was a bloodbath when I had to deal with them. Sombra really needs to find better servants. These shadow ponies might be a bit intimidating I admit, but they are weak as wooden doors in a zombie plunder.

...

Ignoring the puns, I was able to hide the crystal ponies in the abandoned crystal buildings. They were chattering about what if Sombra would find out.

"What if Kind Sombra sees us missing?!" One pony panicked. "He'll find us and well be punish brutally!"

"Let me deal with him. Besides, I've been collecting your guys for hours and I don't hear him saying-"

"WHAT IS THE REASON OF THIS! WHERE HAVE YOU ALL FLEED TO?!!"

The crystal ponies went silent and some of he fillies and colts whimpered. I looked out the window and see the tyrant looking from the castle balcony. He looked very angry.

"Huh, about time." I say as I teleported outside.

To get his attention, I charge my horn and shot a purple flare into the air as it explodes.

"Looking for something?!" I yell back smirking.

Sombra sees me as he slither his way down.

"Who are you?! Where are my slaves?!" He demanded.

"Wow, did you lost your mind when you blew up?" I joked.

"What are rabbling about?! I've never seen you in my life! Now tell me where are the others!"

"Denial, well, let's not waste anytime and get this over with." I said as I teleported.

I teleported to the of the empire and I see the crystal heart were it was before. I manage to grab it before the trap sprung into action. I just shook my head as I teleport back behind Sombra.

"Really? You hid this thing in the same spot? You're not good at this are you?" I said making a fake yawn.

I know I'm being cocky, but I fought this guy before. He's pretty much predictable.

"Where did you find that?! I had it well hidden and guarded!"

"I found this before, idiot." I narrowed by eyes. "Now, where are the others? Where are you keeping Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor?" I demanded.

"What are talking about?! Who are are you?!"

"Fine," I sighed. "I'll say it again. I am Shadow the Enderpony. I come to rid of you and stop your rain of terror once again."

"You? You think you can stop me? I am the most powerful mage in the land!"

"Then how come I blew you into pieces when we fought last time." I was getting tired of this conversation.

"What do you mean?"

"For the love of Notch! Quit playing dumb, Sombra! Stop messing around and let's do this already!"

I teleported from his sight and reappeared behind him. Before he made a move, I reared back and bucked him square in the back of his head and sent him flying. I teleported again bucked him again back into the air. I teleported once again, but this time, I reappeared mid-air. Sombra was coming towards me. With the moment from falling, I raised my front diamond hard forelegs and slammed Sombra all the way down as he crashes into the crystal streets. Soon, I came back down and landed on my hooves with a thud.

"You're just making this too easy." I smirked. "Why don't you just surrender and we'll take you to- AUGH!"

Before I could finish, a shadow-like tentacle shot out of the crater and grabbed me by the throat. Sombra comes out of the hole and looks at me with pure anger, even I'm a bit intimidated. Maybe I should of kept my mouth shut.

"Uhh... about earlier-"

"YOU DARE TO ASSAULT ME?! I WILL MAKE YOUR DEATH SLOW AND PAINFUL!!"

Third Person

Shadow was then slammed into the ground back and forth. This continued before he finally teleported to safety. Shadow was in so much pain. How can Sombra be stronger then before. And where are the others when you need them?! It doesn't matter at the time. Right now, he needs to do something.

"How am I going to beat this guy?" Shadow muttered. "I can't go in head on. I need to- OW!"

Shadow's thoughts were interrupted when something hit his head. Shadow looked at the object. It was sort of shield. It was golden with blue patching on it. What surprised him was the picture of an Eye of Ender on the front. Shadow wondered where it came from when he remembered he got hit by something when he was thrown into the portal. Was this thing that mystery pony's? If it was, then how did he know about the Eye of Ender? Only Twilight and the others know about it from their session.

CRASH

Suddenly, the house Shadow was hiding in was lifted into the air and thrown off into the distance. Looking down at the Enderpony was the dark king.

"Think you can hid from me?! Well, guess again!"

Before Shadow could teleport, Sombra shot out another shadowy tentacle and wrapped it around Shadow's body and lifted him up.

"I have to admit. Nopony has ever confronted and lived." Sombra said getting closer. "I was thinking about having you get slaughtered by the Wendigos out in that blizzard, but I realized something about."

"And that would be?" Shadow ask tiredly.

"You're not a regular unicorn, are you?"

"Are we seriously going over this again?" Shadow groaned. "You sure that crown of yours isn't on too tight-"

"SILENCE! I heard enough of you! Your nothing but a pest when you stepped into my kingdom."

Sombra then drops Shadow onto the solid crystal ground as he walks towards the Enderpony.

"If you like it here so much, then why don't I give you the honor of being my trophy." Sombra chuckled.

Before Shadow could say anything, he felt his legs starting to get cold. Soon enough, he finds himself slowly being incased in crystal. Shadow tried to move, but he couldn't budge as the forming crystal is up to his neck.

"Any last words, naive?"

There were two words that Shadow could say before he was completely incased in his rock-hard prison.

"Buck. You."

...

Crystal Empire, 1000 Years Later

Everypony was excited to go to the Crystal Empire. They were also excited to see this mysterious pony the heard about. Right now, they are all on the train heading to towards the Frozen North.

"I'm so excited to meet all those new ponies!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

"It's crazy to know that a entire empire done gone disappeared so long ago." Applejack added.

"Just remember girls, we're not just here to go sightseeing. We're also here to help stop King Sombra from retaking the Empire." Twilight said.

"I'm sure it'll be a piece of cake." Shadow said from across the seats. "I've seen more power in Herobrine then some crystal-crazed unicorn."

"By the way," Rainbow joined in while laying in her seat. "Twilight, who is this mysterious pony you mentioned in Canterlot?"

"Well, from what Celestia told me, there was a pony over a thousand years ago tried to free the crystal ponies and stop Sombra himself. He was the only one that challenged Sombra and managed to stay standing."

"So what happened to him?" Fluttershy asks.

"He tried to his best on stopping Sombra, but he was eventually taken down and trapped as a crystal statue. A few days later, Sombra was defeated by the Royal Sisters, after defeating Discord of coarse, and was sealed away deep in the Frozen North. Though, before Sombra was banished, he cursed the entire empire and made it disappeared."

"And a thousands years later, it came back!" Pinkie finished the explanation with a smile.

"Exactly. Hopefully, if we can free this pony, then there's a big chance we'll defeated Sombra once and for all with his help."

"Darling, are you sure that this stallion will still be... around after for so long of being encased in crystal?" Rarity asks

"There might be a chance he survived. I've read that crystals have a long-lasting nature to it." (Couldn't find the correct word I wanted, sorry.)

"Did Celestia said anything else about him?" Shadow asks looking out the now snowy window.

"She doesn't know much. That was all she could get when Shining and Cadence sent her the message."

"If we do find him, I'm sure I can break him out. My kind is specific built to move anything blocks, and that rule still applies here in Equestria."

Shadow was showing it, but he was really excited meet this pony. He does admire that kind of bravery. Suddenly, there was a sudden jerk that nearly made Shadow lose his balance.

"Looks like were here."

Soon, everypony gotten of the train as a familiar pony we all know comes out of the blizzard.

"Twily!" Shining called out.

"Shining!" Twilight replied. "How have you and Cadence been doing?"

"We're doing good, well, more or less."

Soon, Shining noticed Shadow standing with the others. He was about defend Twilight when stopped and gotten a better look. Something about this pony seems so familiar.

"Twily, who is he?"

"Oh, this is our new friend, Shadow the Enderpony. He's actually a creature known as a Mob." Twilight answered.

"Well... it's nice to meet you, Shadow. But we're going to have chat later. It's not safe out when they're here after dark."

"Uhh, who's they?" Spike ask nervous.

Suddenly, there was howls and screeches sound off from the distance.

"Everypony, go, now!" Shining yelled.

Soon, everypony was running as fast as they can. They saw shadow-like ponies in the distance. Some tried to jump at them, but they girls would able to dodge each attack. Though, one nearly gotten a petrified Fluttershy if a certain multi-colored mare hadn't swooped in and flew her into safety. When they got to the safe zone they were tired from galloping, but they realized something was missing. Actually, two ponies missing.

"Where's Shining and Shadow?!" Twilight panicked.

Shining marching his way through the blind storm. He was separated from the group when he was ambushed by those shadow ponies. He's hoping that the others made it to the safe zone.

"Ugh, I got to get out of blizzard-"

BANG!

...

THUMP!

Shining didn't see it coming. On minute, he was stomping his way out of the storm. The next, he's lying unconscious on the snowy ground. Soon enough, a pack of shadow ponies surround their prey. Along with the former ruler of the empire.

"So this is my replacement after so long?" Sombra frowned. "How pathetic."

Sombra raised his horn and summoned a dark crystal dagger.

"You aren't worthy of ruling this empire." Sombra raised the dagger. "My empire."

"Could you not slaughter my friend if you don't mind."

Sombra's ear twitch before looking around for that voice.

"Who's there?! Show yourself!" Sombra demanded.

The voice didn't reply as the figure starts tackling a shadow pony one by one into the blinding blizzard around them. Sombra franticly tried to locate the figure.

"Show yourself you coward!"

"So you're this Sombra my friend told me about?" The figure, also known as Shadow steps into Sombra's view next to Shining. "You don't seem that scary."

Sombra's eyes widen.

"You!" Sombra stomped. "How did you escape your prison?!"

"What?" Shadow was confused. "What are you talking about?"

Sombra didn't answer as he hauls a huge shadowy tentacle at Shadow. Unfortunately, he missed his target as it grabs Shining Armor and teleported out of sight. Sombra was angry. How did that naive escape his casing. He'll have to find out later. For now, he needs to prepare himself when he faces that purple bastard.

Shadow got back with the others with his passenger safely. Though, he was wondering what happened back there. What was Sombra talking about? He never even met the stallion. Still, he was glad that it was over. Now him and the others can continue their quest to save the Crystal Empire. On the way, he was explaining Shining how he got to Equestria. Shining was surprised to know that he took out Luna easily.

"-and I have to do community service until my time is up." Shadow explained.

"Well, at least you were sorry about it. I can respect that."

While they were walking down the crystal street, the nearby crystal ponies looked surprised and shocked when they saw Shadow to everyponies' confusion.

"What's up with everypony?" Twilight asks.

"I don't know. Me and Cadence never seen them react like this when we arrived."

"I think it's me." Shadow sighed.

To confirm his suspicion, Shadow teleported a feet away and back with the crystal ponies keeping their wide eyes on him.

"Even as a pony, I'm still an outcast."

"It's okay, Shadow." Applejack comforts. "I'm sure their just new to seeing a pony your size. After all, you almost look like an alicorn, just without wings."

"I guess." Shadow cheered up a bit.

The group were getting near the entrance to the thrown room when Spike noticed a crowd of ponies near a rather huge crystal.

"What's up with them?" Spike pointed.

"Oh, they're trying to break it open. There's a pony in there Sombra trapped." Shining answered.

"The mystery pony... say, you guys go on ahead. I'm going to go help them free him. Spike, could you help me out here?"

"Sure. I was hungry anyway." Spike said he licks his lips.

"Well, you two... er, three meet us at the throne room later on." Twilight said as the others went inside.

"We will."

Twilight nodded before going inside. Shadow levitates Spike on his back before teleporting to the crowd.

"Step aside, everypony." Shadow said getting their attention. "Me and my friend here will-"

"How did you get out?!" One pony said.

"What?" Shadow said raising an eyebrow. "Get out of what?"

"You were trapped in that crystal." Another pony said before looking at Shadow and the crystal. "Actually, how are you in two places at once?"

Shadow and Spike looked at each other unsure before they take a closer look inside the crystal. They were both shocked to see that there was indeed another Shadow frozen in place.

"What in Notch's star is going on here?!" Shadow yelled a bit frightened.

"How are there two of you?!" Spike said as he looks closer.

"I don't know, but we need to get me... him out of there."

The purple duos went to work and started removing chunks of crystals. Spike was eating his way in, while Shadow was grabbing block after block. Soon, the second Enderpony was released, but he lays on the ground unconscious.

"He looks a lot like me." Shadow said poking at his double.

"Could it be a changeling?" Spike asked.

"I don't think so. Twilight said that he was here over a thousand years ago with these crystal ponies."

"Do you think it could be another Mob?"

"I'm not sure. I mean, yes. He is a Mob, but I'm not sure if another by the same race is different or stay the same. We all look the same back in Craftia. Maybe that rule applies here too."

"Maybe we should get back to the others."

"You're right, maybe Twilight can figure this out."

Shadow levitated his double on his back with Spike aboard and teleported back to the others.

Future Shadow's POV

Ugh... that was by far the longest sleep I ever had. I completely feel energized. Though, I wonder when the others will free me.

"How is this possible?"

I can hear voices. They're a little faded.

"I don't know, but... look! He's waking up!"

True as it is, I'm slowly opening my eyes. Everything seems so brighter. I guess they did win. I open my eyes and I see the girls and Spike staring at me with different expressions. Though, we I turn my gaze from them, I thought I was hallucinating. Right in front of me was another unicorn that looks like me!

'What the buck?! Is... is that another Mob? Could there finally be another Enderpony wandering around?'

3rd Person

Everypony was silent. Nopony said a thing. The only thing that could be heard was Pinkie's bouncing as she smiles with excitement. The first pony who broke the silence was future Shadow.

"Uh... hey everypony. How have you guys been doing?"

"Do good?" Twilight said uncertain.

"Well that's good. Say, who's the Mob?"

"Well, since your new, I'm Shadow the Enderpony." Past Shadow answered.

Future Shadow's eyes widen as he get up.

"What?"

"I said my name is Shadow. I'm an Enderpony."

"But that's my name."

"Maybe you should tell your story." Twilight suggested.

Future Shadow nodded and started explaining what happened to him. Though, he left some parts out when he was explaining. He didn't tell them about his daughter, Trixie's rampage, the dragon, the filly, Herobrine's betrayal, and especially him and Twilight's relationship. Shadow was sure why, but he can feel somepony telling him not speak of the everything. After, explaining everything, the all seemed shocked.

"This is incredible! You somehow found a way to travel through time. I've read about StarSwirl the Bearded's theory about time travel, but this is amazing!" Twilight said with excitement.

"So you're really me." Past Shadow said. "Are there's going be more Mobs?"

"Yes, more will be coming." Future Shadow said smiling. "We become friends with them, and we go on many adventures."

"This is happening so fast. I'm not sure if I can comprehend all this."

"Come on," Future Shadow gave a playful punch. "We both used to live in a land of blocks that float mid-air. I'm sure that this isn't the weirdest."

"I guess. Say, what do we call you, and how will the others tell us apart?"

"That is a good point." Future Shadow said thinking. "...How about this. For now, you all can call me, Purple. Seems simple enough."

"But how can we tell you two fellows apart?" Applejack asks.

"I think I got something for that." Purple said as he charges his horn.

A second later, a flat screen appears in front of him as it shows columns and a text that says 'Inventory'. The others seem surprised.

"What is that?" Rainbow asks.

"I know what that is." Shadow said stepping forward. "It's a storage unit those Minecrafters use to carry their stuff around, but I thought only they can use it."

"I, well, we learn a lot of new things now that we can use magic. Just a little practice and you'll get it too." Purple said as he pulls out some sort of purple stripped scarf. "I think this will do. After all, Rarity did made it for me for when I come back to this place."

"I didn't make a scarf." Rarity said confused.

"I mean your future self." Purple chuckled.

Rarity blushed.

"I don't want to break the party, but we still have a problem on our hooves." Shining said stepping forward with a tired Cadence.

"He's right. We need to find away to save the empire." Twilight said pacing before her eyes widened. "Wait! Shadow... er, Purple! You're the future version of Shadow. So that means that you and the other us already defeated Sombra!"

"That's true. We already defeated him before." Purple confirmed.

"Then how did we do it?"

"Well... I kind of defeated him all by myself."

"Wait! If you defeated him yourself, then how come Sombra beat you before, in the past I mean." Rainbow questioned.

"He was stronger back then. At the time, I thought he came back the third time to take back empire. The Sombra we have now is at his weakened state. Originally, you were suppose to use the empire's sacred treasure, The Crystal Heart, but I came in and blew him to pieces out of rage."

For some reason, Shadow felt a sudden chill in his spine that made him shiver.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Rainbow said feeling pumped. "Let's take you both out there and-"

"No."

"What?"

"I said, no." Purple narrowed his eyes. "I don't ever want to go through that again."

"But, Purple. We need to defeat Sombra before he takes back the Crystal Empire." Twilight said.

"And were going do this the right way."

"What do you mean?"

"We are going to convince Sombra to join us."

"Your kidding, right?" Shining asks sound skeptical.

"No, I believe that we can change him for the greater good."

"You can't reason with that monster!"

Purple's eye twitch as he turns gives Shining a glare.

"Is that what you believe?"

"Yes, he's nothing but a tyrant for so long. Do you think he's just gonna-"

"Wow."

"What?"

"Oh nothing. It's just I came to a realization that you ponies are such hypocrites." Purple chuckled.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"I'm just saying that, if I remember correctly, you all 'Love and Tolerate'." Purple spat.

"Purple, this is different." Twilight tries to counter. "Sombra has done so many horrible things in the past that is unforgivable."

"That may be true, but I remember one of you girls saying that everypony deserve a second chance."

"I'm with him on this one." Shadow said stepping besides himself. "You girls gave Luna a second chance when she was about to bring Eternal Night when she came back."

"Let's not forget when Celestia gave us a second chance when we attacked Luna." Purple said

"Not only that, but evil isn't born, they're created." Purple said looking out the window. "Nightmare Moon was made out of jealously; Discord wanted more freedom to cause chaos; and Queen Chrysalis was desperate."

Everypony wasn't looking too sure about this, but they're thinking that Purple could be right.

"Purple has a point." Cadence said leaning on Shining for support. "But if you're right, how are we going to do this?"

"Well, how much do you know about dark magic, Twilight?"

"From what I read before, dark magic was rare back then and the only one who mastered it was StarSwirl the Bearded." Twilight explained.

"Then there's got to be some kind of documents around that explains about dark magic."

"The only place that keeps records of this place it the grand library." Cadence said. "You could find something there."

"Then it's settled!" Purple said facing them. "We're going to investigate Sombra's history."

"What if it fails, Purple?" Shining said, still a bit skeptical.

"Me and Shadow will have to fight him then." Purple sighed.

"But everypony here in the empire can't remember much. And I'm sure they don't want to rememeber their previous ruler for a number a reasons."

"The Crystal Heart can help. It can restore hope in them somehow."

"Where is though?" Fluttershy asks.

"The last time I found it, it was on the top of empire. It has a load of traps around it."

"I'll go get." Shadow said as he teleports away.

"This is easy." Rainbow said.

"I highly doubt that Sombra will leave it in the same spot-"

"Got it!" Shadow levitated the artifact. "You were right about the traps. Nearly got me."

Purple was silent as he stared at Shadow.

"...Are you bucking kidding me?" Purple's eye twitch. "You know what, nevermind. I don't care at this point."

"What's the plan?"

"Alright... here's the plan. You girls head out and make the crystal ponies happy. We need this thing charged if the plan fails. Me and Shadow will go find clues. Spike, you stay here and help Shining. I'm not sure if those shadow ponies will come early."

Everypony nodded and they went to do what they were told.

"Do you know where the library is?" Shadow asks.

"Yes, but we're going to make a quick stop first."

"Where?"

"Somewhere around here is the first Mob, a Skeleton Pony name Long Shot. He's the second Mob to come to this place."

"Where do we find him?"

"My best guess, he would be in some place shady. He's wearing a cloak, but it barely protects him from the sun."

"How are we going to help him?"

"Well," Purple pulls out his inventory again and pulls out a hoody. "Before I left, Pinkie Pie wanted me to give this blue hoody to him for some reason. I asked, but all she said it was a request by the audience. Whatever that means."

"Why is it sparkly a bit? Is it enchanted?"

"I think so. How? I don't know and I say we drop it. Because we both know one thing."

"Pinkie is being Pinkie."

"Yeah, you got a point. Well, lead the way. I'll follow your Ender-dust." (If you're wondering, I'm talking about those purple sparkles they leave behind.)

Purple nodded as he teleports to the same alleyway with Shadow following. The first three weren't it till they reached the fourth. When they arrived, they startled Long Shot.

"Finally found you." Purple said as Shadow appeared next to him.

"Who are you two?" Shot asks surprised.

"Well, were both name Shadow. We're Enderponies." Shadow explained.

"Okay, but how are there two of you?"

Purple stepped up. "I'm from the future and-"

"Stop. Say no more. I get what happen. Not into the nerdy science stuff. So, no need to explain."

"Still blunt like always, Shots." Purple smirked.

"Yeah, that's me."

"Well, we were wondering if you can help us." Shadow asks.

"Depends, is there a safer place than this?"

"There's a town named Ponyville. That's were me and the others live."

"Sounds promising. So, what do you need?"

"We are looking for clues to Sombra's past"

"Who?"

"Some evil former ruler."

"Oh."

"By the way, here's something to protect you from the sun."

"Oh wow, thanks."

Purple pulls out the blue hoody and pass to Long Shot. Though, when the fleshless pony put it on, his horn glowed blue before turning going out.

"What was that?" Long asks surprised.

"I have no idea, but your eyes turned white."

"Huh, cool."

"Alright, let's go."

Purple grabbed Long before teleporting to the library with Shadow following. When they appeared, they surprised the old librarian.

"Hello, miss."

"Oh my! You're the trapped pony from long ago."

"Yes I am. Can you help us?"

"I can try, but I can't remember much. I don't I'm even the librarian." The old mare said.

"Will this help?" Shadow said as he pulls out the crystal heart.

The mare gasps before her body starts to shine bright.

"I... I remember. How did you get that?" She asks.

"Long story, but right know, we're looking for anything that can help us take down Sombra. Records, anything at all." Purple said.

"Sombra... I remember him. He wasn't like this."

"Are you saying that he wasn't like this before?" Purple raised an eyebrow.

"Yes... I remember him coming here every night and he would study dark magic."

"What books did he used?"

"Those should be it." She pointed.

Long Shot nods as he levitates the said books.

"Thank you. I think that will be all."

"You are welcome." The mare smiled.

Purple nodded as he and Shadow teleported back to the throne room. Though, they noticed that the two ponies and dragon wasn't there.

"Huh, where's Spike and the others?" Shadow asks.

"I think they're on the top floor where the balcony is." Purple said as he looks around. "Hey, were's Long Shot?"

"I thought you got him."

"I'll get him." Purple sighed.

But before he could, a flash of light flickered before the missing skeleton pony showed up.

"Whoo! What a ride." Long Shot said through his expressionless face.

"I'll have you know that I can smile too." Long rolled his eyes at... me?

"Yes. I'm talking to you, Narrator."

What the!? You're not suppose to break the fourth wall! It's against the rules!

"Hey, I'm just as confused as you. Buy hey, I can dig it."

You know Galaxy isn't going to like this.

"Like what's he going to do?"

"Long, who are you talking to?" Shadow asks

"Uh, no one important."

Hey!

"Just keep telling the story. We'll talk about this later."

Ugh... fine. Anyway, Shadow and Purple gave Long Shot strange looks.

"Anyway, there's nothing to worry about. Now come on, don't we have an empire to save?"

"Uh... right. Let's go." Shadow said trying to forget the weird moment.

The three Mobs all teleported to the others were they see Shining and Spike trying to comfort Cadence.

"Well, we're back." Purple said.

"So, did you found anything useful?" Shining said rolling his eyes.

"Yes actually."

"What?!"

"We were digging through the library and found some books Sombra read before." Purple said pulling out the said books from his inventory.

"I recognize those books." Cadence said trotting closer. "Those books tell the arts of dark magic. How did you get them? They were supposed to be forbidden after Sombra's take over."

"The librarian let us borrow them."

"Just like that?" Cadence said with a bemused face.

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter now. We got we wanted."

"Well, what do they say?" Long asks juggling a bone in one hoof.

Purple opened the books and scanned through them until he found something interesting.

"Hey! Look at this!" Purple pointed at a page.

"What?!" Spike said trying to peek.

"It's... actually, I don't know what it is." Purple raised an eyebrow. "It looks like some sort of creature."

In the page was a dark looking creature. Purple shuddered he looked at its eyes. The picture itself looks as though it was drawn in a hurry and had a couple of ink stains here and there. In the background shown mountains and the moon shining high in the sky. Although, the sky didn't looked normal. Something about it seemed so... supernatural.

"What is that?"

"I don't know, but it looks creepy." Spike said.

"Well, does it tell what is is?" Shadow asks.

Purple never had the chance to reply as an explosion sounded off from outside, startling everypony and dragon.

"What the buck was that?!" Shining shouted.

Shadow was the first to look out from the balcony. Off in the distance, he could see the evil tyrant and his army of shadowy minion are trying to force their way in.

"It's Sombra!" Shadow yelled. "He's trying to break threw the barrier!"

"What?!" Shining said. "How?! I thought the heart was suppose to keep them out more!"

Purple dropped the book and made his way to the balcony. He looks at the center of the castle and was shocked at what he's seeing.

"Guys, we have a major problem." Purple said not looking away.

"What? What's the problem?!"

"The Crystal Heart... it's gone."

Canterlot Castle, Present

Writer Page's POV

Well, it's actually happening. I'm going to fight Shining Armor. Though, now that I think about it, it was probably a bad decision. I might know a thing or two about fighting thanks to Galaxy, but I know Shining is just as strong, maybe even stronger. He has defenses while I have stasis spells. Right now, I'm with Celestia, Luna, and Cadence in the throne room. Mr. Prince Charming is in the training yards gathering his men for the 'demonstration'.

"Writer, this is ridiculous. Just call off the fight.” Cadence tried to convince me.

"Hey, he was asking for it." I countered. "Plus, I want to see how strong he really is. If we're going to be fighting Herobrine in the future, then he needs to be ready. Your guards need to be prepared when it's time to deal with the Mobs."

"If that's what you wish, then I can't stop you." Celestia sighed.

"By the way, when is everypony else is coming? They should of been here by now."

"I too wonder when our friends will arrive." Luna said.

"I don't know. Maybe I should send another letter." Celestia said.

Before I could say anything, I felt a tingling feeling in my chest. I grunted as I hold my chest.

"Is there something wrong, Sir Writer?" Luna asks.

"I think so. I just feel a little funny." I said grunting a bit.

As if on cue, there was flash of a bright light before it faded away. Though, I do feel a little weird.

"Whoa, what was that?" I asked.

There was a moment of silence before Cadence spoke.

"Writer... are you okay?" She asks, giggling?

"Uh, yeah. I think so."

Just know, I realized I sounded different. My voice sound more higher. Like Twilight's and Rainbow's mixed together.

"Well, this is a rather unexpected surprise." Celestia sound amused.

"What? What happened?" I was starting to panic.

"Well, you do look different than before." Luna said snickering.

"Mirror. I need a mirror!"

Luna's horn glowed as a mirror appeared out of nowhere. I look into it and I was surprised at what I saw. What I see is a grey mare with long black and dark grey ponytail. Also, my tail was smaller than my usual big elegant one. My right ear had a perfectly made cut, instead of a ripped one. My black glasses were replaced with red ones. I was even more surprised to see myself wearing a tan colored suit. Along a white shirt under and a blue tie. I got to say... I look hot.

"Well, this is interesting." I said as I make some poses.

"How could something like this happen?" Celestia asks.

"I have the answer to that." Luna said giggling.

"What did this then?" I ask looking back at her.

"Last night, when we sitting in the grass, you were laying in a small bed of Poison Joke."

I felt really embarrassed and I my cheeks were showing it.

"So that's why you were giggling last night before we went back inside."

"I'm sorry, but I really wanted to see what the Poison Joke does to you."

"Fear not, Writer Page. I will have an antidote ready for you immediately." Celestia said calling for a nearby servant.

"Actually, that could wait for a while." I said looking at my mane. "I would like to see Cherry Bomb's reaction when she shows up."

"Very well then." Celestia smiled.

Just then, a guard came in.

"Your majesty, everything is in place in the training yard."

"Thank you."

"I'd also like to inform you that the Element Bearers have arrived. Along with two pegasi and two unicorns.

"Thank you."

The guard left without another word.

"I guess it's time." I said as we were leaving the throne room.

Although, a thought came to me.

"By the way," I said facing the others. "For the rest of the day, call me Scribble Sheet."

Chapter 16 - Restart One Way Or Another (Part 2)

Crystal Empire, Past

Purple's POV

How the buck did the Crystal Heart disappeared!? I gave it to Twilight! She was supposed to deliver it to the center!

"Where's the heart at?!" Spike panicked.

"Didn't you passed it to Twilight?" Shadow asks his double.

"I did! I don't know what's the hold up!" I said as I look at the mob of panicking ponies.

Just then, the double door entrance burst open. I turn around to see the girls galloping into the room. But to me and the other's shock, Twilight and Applejack were badly bruised.

"Twilight! Applejack!" Me and Shadow yelled as we both teleport to their side.

"Girls! What happened to you two?!" Shadow checked Twilight.

"And where's the heart?" I said also checking Applejack.

"Ugh, I don't know." Twilight groaned. "When I was about to deliver the heart you gave me, I was jumped by somepony."

"Ah saw what happened and tried teach that feller what for, but he was too strong, even for me." Applejack said. "Pretty soon, he knocked me and Twi to the ground and ran off with the heart to Celestia knows where."

"I wish I knew where he was!" Dash said angrily. "When I find him, I'm going to bucking kick him in the-"

"Rainbow! Language!" Rarity scolded.

"Does it really matter?! Sombra and those shadow pony things are getting in closer by the minute and this stupid heart is gone!!" Dash fumed.

"Dash is right." I said bring out apples from my inventory. "We need to find that heart and fast. Sombra is almost through and we're running out of time!"

"Did you get a good look of what this pony looked like?" Shadow asks.

"Well, that feller was pretty tall for an earth pony. He was also wearing a rather fancy looking black suit." Applejack explained.

I was starting feel a chill come up my spine as a part of me is piecing this figure together.

"But the bizarre thing was that he had no face! It was just nothing but a blank white headpiece with no mane or anything!"

"Slender?!" Me and Shadow said together.

"You know this pony?" Twilight asks as she and Applejack heal.

"Yes. For the short version it, he's a mod created by the Minecrafters." Shadow explained. "He's been on the loose terrorizing the Minecrafters in Craftia ever sense."

"Though, the question is... why is he here?" I said. "How did he get here in the first place?"

"I don't know, but we need to find him and fast! He has the heart."

"How are we going to find him?" Pinkie asks.

"Well, the one thing I know he would hide would be someplace dark. Those alleyways wouldn't be enough for his liking."

"I think I might know." Cadence weakly said. "There's no other place darker than the old crystal mines underground. You might have luck in finding him there."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get this guy!" Rainbow was about to leave when she was caught in a aura.

"No, Dash." I held her in place. "You girls are going to stay here in the surface and keep control of those ponies down there. I'm going to go look for Slender myself."

"What about us?" Long asks. "Can't we help?"

"I have to face him alone. I have more fighting skills than your Shadow. You two go and keep those shadow ponies out if they get through."

"If you say so." Long shrugged.

After filling everypony in on the new plan, they went of to do their part as I teleported to the mines since I've been before. Though, I didn't knew it at the time, but a certain other Enderpony followed me.

3rd Person

Purple soon reappeared in the deep, dark part of the abandoned crystal mine. He was thankful that Mobs can be able to see in the dark, or this would of been difficult.

"Alright," Purple said to himself. Where are you, Slender?"

The Enderpony looks around the cave as he trots his way deeper. The faint glow of his purple eyes were the only source of light if anypony was around.

'How did Slender get to Equestria?' Purple thought. 'Did he past the Midnight Zone too?"

Though, Purple's thought was interrupted as a ping quietly echoes throughout the mine. He turns around and finds his double behind him.

"Shadow? What are you doing here? You were suppose to go with the others."

"About that," Shadow spoke. "I need to ask you some questions."

"We don't have time for this."

"Then tell me this, how did you really get sent to the past?" Shadow narrowed his eyes. "I'm not trading the whole 'I somehow fell in a portal' thing. You were hiding something, were you?"

Purple's eyes widened a bit.

"Uh, look Shadow. I can't tell you. It will cause more paradoxes if I do. And probably change a lot just for being here."

"I need to know, Purple. Something else happened at that timeline. Did it?"

Purple could only sigh as he knows he's been cornered.

"...Yes, something actually did happened that got me to your... our current timeline."

"What happened?"

"I... I can't tell you."

"Look, Shadow." Past Shadow said his future self's real name. "No matter what you do now, it probably did messed up your timeline by now, but you can help me in my timeline. Please, I really want to do what's right and save everypony. And that means Sombra too somehow."

Purple thought hard before making his decision.

"You're right, Shadow." Purple sighed. "What really happened was that-"

WHOOSH!

Before Purple could explain, something shot from the darkness and wrapped around him before it threw him into a crystal wall.

"Purple! Are you okay?!" Shadow yells as he dodges another mystery line.

"Gah! I'm fine!" Purple replied in pain. "Just get out of here and join the others!"

"But-"

"If you die here now, then it will affect the timeline more worse than it already have! NOW GO!!" Purple partly screeched.

Shadow was unsure before complying and teleporting to the surface. Meanwhile, Purple got back on his hooves and took a fighting stance.

"Alright, Slender!" Purple yelled. "Show yourself! You can't hide from me in the dark! We Mobs got night vision!"

As on cue, the tall, sharply dressed demon lunged from the darkness and tried to wrap its tentacles around Purple. Though, thanks to his instincts, Purple teleported out of the way as Slender skids pass him.

"You should of left when you had the chance!" Slender said. "You would of lived longer."

Purple teleported right besides Slender and bucked him across the large room.

"How did you get to this place?!" Purple said as he dodges another whip. "Why are you here in the first place?!"

"I came here as a request from Herobrine."

Purple went wide eyed.

"He sent you?"

"Yes. He wanted to make sure that you were terminated completely." Slender said.

"Why are you doing this? What have I ever done to you?"

"You mean you still haven't realized it yet?"

"What are you talking about? Talk already!"

"Your kind have been walking around for far too long." Slender hissed. "When I came to that pitiful world of Craftia, I thought I was one those Overworld dwellers feared in the night. I was the prince of fear. I was Death reincarnated."

Slender's face formed into what looked to be a glare.

"But then, you all started to slowly come back when the Craftian War was finally looked past. Soon, my victims started to fear you and think of me as nothing but a myth."

Slender then started to growl.

"Not only did I lose my reputation, but you had the blocks to go ahead and steal my title and rename yourself as this so called 'Enderman'!"

Purple looked on before narrowing his eyes.

"That's it?" Purple said unamused. "That's why you hate me and my kind? All of this, just for pity jealousy?"

"Your one to talk since you stole my name."

"You don't get out more do you? My kind are the original creatures of the night. You are nothing more but a copy of the original Slenderman!"

"You are speaking nothing but lies!"

"Think about it Slender. You are the only Slenderman in the land of Craftia. Yet, there's thousands of different kinds of Mobs."

"Shut up!"

"Not only that, but I take it that Herobrine showed you other worlds in the Midnight Zone?"

Slender did nothing but stayed silent to Purple's confusion. Though, a moment later, Slender started to... chuckle?

"Do you think it was going to that easy?"

Slender whipped his tentacle at Purple's face before he could dodge. Purple stumbled down to the ground.

"You really think you can make me lower my guard?"

Slender was not on top of Purple as his tentacles wrapped around all of Enderpony's limps.

"I am Slenderman! Prince of Fear! King of Darkness! Death reincarnated!"

Before Purple can struggle, Slender stepped down on his throat. Purple was not struggling to breath air.

"And you are nothing but weak ripoff of my might." Slender then chuckled. "Now, I know you have what is called an Ender-Stare. Well, I got what is called the Slender-Glare!"

Slender bends down closer to Purple's face and made a stare that even scared Purple.

Purple tried desperately to get free of the demon's grip, but couldn't budge.

"Any last words, Shadow the Enderpony?" Slender said as he pushes his hoof harder down Purple's throat.

Purple didn't say a thing before his gaze turned to the ceiling. Soon, an idea spawned in his head.

"A-Actually yes." Purple choked. "Riddle me this, what's black, white, and red all over?"

"What?"

"YOU!"

Purple leaned his horn towards the ceiling and shot a purple beam past Slender.

"Nice shot you noob." Slender taunted. "And I was so close to you."

"I wasn't aiming for you."

Slender looked up in confusion before being impaled in the face and back by falling crystal stalagmites.

"GAAAHH!!"

As Slender staggered back in so much pain, Purple was able to escape his aggressors' grip and bucked him further away from him. Purple looked on as Slender continues to frail around with his tentacles in knots and scream in pain. Purple had enough to see as he rears back and charges.

SSCCRREEEEEEEECCHH!!!

Slender looked at the direction of the screech but was soon met with a horn through the chest. Everything seemed to slowed down as Slender slowly looks down at his chest. He can see black liquid leak out of the hole in his chest where Purple made. The Enderpony ripped his horn out from the demon's chest. Spreading more of the black blood onto the floor and a bit in his face.

"It's over, Slender! It is over!" Purple huffed as he tries to catch his breath.

Slender looked at the future Enderpony before he started chuckling, then it turned to laughter.

"I have to admit." Slender gasps out as starts losing more blood. "You are one stubborn individual. I can see why Herobrine hates you, but it won't matter for too long."

"I'll stop somehow! His plans won't prevail."

"You can't stop buck, Shadow the Enderpony! Soon, you and your allies will be burning in the ashes of your worlds! And he'll start with your marefriend first with the most painful death possible!!"

Slender falls to his knees.

"I'LL SEE YOU ALL IN HELL!!"

That was the last thing Slender said before falling to the ground and coughing out his own blood. Purple looked on as he shakes his head.

"What are you planning, Herobrine?" Purple said as he looks around.

Soon, he spots a faint glow. Purple teleports closer and finally found the heart he came for. He then puts it in his inventory, before teleporting to the surface. He must finish what he had started.

Chapter 3 - What's worse, Greifers or Intruders?

It was a lovely afternoon in Ponyville. After the incident at the wedding, the main six (Spike included) headed back home while Shining Armor and Princess Cadance headed off on their honeymoon after the party. After the mares got off the train from Canterlot, they all went off their separate ways as Spike and Twilight headed back to there peaceful library.

"Well, that was a good trip if I do say so myself" Spike spoke.

"I'll admit, it could have gone better if those Changlings haven't shown up and tried to invade Canterlot along with Equestria." Twilight said. "I mean sure, Shining and Cadance beat Queen Chrysalis saved everypony, but I wished we could of prevented it in the first place."

"We couldn't of known that there was a race of love-sucking bugs were planning an invasion on Equestria, Twi. The important thing is that everypony is safe and we can finally relax in ponyville."

"I guess your right Spike. Although, we'll relax after we clean the library and rearrange the books."

"What?! We barely came back from Canterlot and we still have to work?!" Spike pouted.

"Yes, we need to keep it clean. You didn't think I would forget now would you?" Twilight said with a smirk.

As they both finally gotten to the library, Twilight used her magic to turn the nob and open the door with Spike in tow. When they went in, they were met with a flash of a bright light that fill the room. Once it dimmed down, Twilight and Spike were shock to see a black coated unicorn stallion with dark purple mane and tail was standing in front of them. What got Twilight's attention was his cutie-mark was an orb surrounded with seven purple sparkles. Also the fact, that he was tall as Celestia, maybe even an inch taller!

"Wha-..." The mysterious stranger says as he collapse onto the floor.

"Twilight, who is this and what's wrong with him?!" Spike panicked.

"I don't know but go get the others while I see what's wrong with him." Twilight said as she levitated their new guest onto the couch.

"Are you sure Twi? We don't know if he's safe or not. He could be a burglar that tried to rob us before we came here." Spike asked as the fear of sompony hurting his adoptive sister while he's gone.

"I'll be fine Spike, if he tries anything, then I'll put a spell on him that'll subdue him" Twilight replied.

Spike simply nodded and made one last glance at their "guest" before running off to find ther others.

'I just hope she knows what she's doing, or it things won't end well' Spike thought.

Another Annoucement

Hello everypony, it's me, Scribble Sheet. Also known as The EnderPony Master.

I have some big news! I know I already thanked you readers out there for the 130th likes with the new chapter, but I thought it wasn't enough.
