[Canterlot. Princess Celestia's Office.]

  The mountain of paper work on the desk is annoying. Nobody liked doing paper work, not even princess. Paperwork to Princess Celestia is torture. If torture meant writing on a document to help a framed paranormal hero. Princess Celestia forgot how long she had been at the papers. It was so much to do in little time it was ridiculous. The bags under eyes were a dead give away she was about to collapse. As she wrote on the paper document, she saw the written reports of Ghost Pony Riders attack. All of them weren't good.

"Arrest that monster! He nearly killed everyone in PonyVille!" one said.

"Execute that thing! He deserves to die!" another said.

"If he isn't arrested by dawn, Ill make sure YOUR ass is in court for keeping him safe!" another said.

  That last one made Celestia annoyed. Ponies were taking the attack all the wrong way. If only they saw what she saw, their minds would be changed. However, she cannot deny that Ghost Pony Rider is dangerous even if he isn't angry. Though she did not want to place him inside another trial, fearing what he will do this time. He almost killed her and her sister the first time. What would happen if it happened again? She didn't know, and she wanted to keep it that way. He slammed a huge DENNIED stamp on the documents and proceeded to more complaints. Then she got to more interesting documents, letters from children who were either saved or seen Ghost Pony Rider in action. Celestia smiled as she read the letters. Some came with drawings.

"Dear Princess Celestia, please don't send Ghost Pony Rider away from us. He is a hero and he deserves to be free."

"Please don't send Ghost Rider to jail. He helped my family when a bad pony stole our money."

"Ghost Pony Rider is a good guy! He should go fight evil!"

  Princess Celestia smiled as she observed the drawings of the different children who sent in drawings and letters to Ghost Pony Rider. She would make sure to give him these letters. She gathered what she needed and made her way to Ghost Pony Riders room. The long hallway was shining bright from the morning sunlight. Guards were making their rounds and saluting the princess when she passed by them. She came to a stop to Ghost Pony Riders room she knocked and waited for him. Nothing. She knocked again with more force. Nothing. Either he wasn't here at the moment, or he was asleep. She knocks again, but this time the door slowly opens. The door reveals nothing inside. The bed was made, the window was open, nothing looked out of the ordinary. Celestia then saw a framed photo on the desk in the corner of the room. It was photo of a family with a fiery skeleton in the middle. A old pony with a grey beard and his wife with glasses was next to him on the left. On the right was a lone a mare with her daughter. On the bottom was a cursive written statement. It made Princess Celestia tear up.

Unannounced to the princess, a par of black eyes was staring at her from behind.

"Blaze Family Reunion. What's Left."


[Canterlot Marketplace.]

  The marketplace was nearly empty. All sorts of booths were being token down. It was almost eerie the marketplace was this empty. Ghost Pony Rider looked around under his hood. He and only Twilight and Spike were next to him. Twilight wanted to help Ghost Pony Rider fight The Dark Ones. Twilight recently found out that a book inside the library could help Ghost Pony Rider. Spike was on Ghost Pony Riders back reading a paranormal book. Twilight gives him a baffled look.

"Spike, how long have you been reading that book?" she asks.

"Since we left PonyVille I think." he says keeping his eyes on the book.

"Why?"

"Since we met Ghost Pony Rider, I thought Id research his history." he says flipping the page.

  Ghost Rider raised an eye socket at Spike under his hood. He puffed through his nose opening. Fire comes though the opening. Spike jumps causing him roll of his back and land on his tail. Twilight and Rider laughed. Spike soon joins in on the laughter. After the a little giggle fest, the trio move on to the library. Luckily, the library was open still. Twilight and guys began going through the library trying to find the book Twilight was searching for. Though Twilight knew what the book was Ghost Pony Rider and Spike were doing through random books. Hours pass until Twilight calls from across the room, getting Spike and Ghost Riders attention. They come to find her over a huge book.

"Gentlecolts...I present the book of mystic powers and beings." she says with glee.

Ghost Pony Rider and Spike give a surprised look and lean into the book as Twilight explains The Dark Ones powers.

"So by my understanding, the one known as Black Head is using a demonic force of power called 'Kenyigen' which stands for 'Dark Force'. It over whelms the user and corrupts them to pure evil. They are also known to corrupt others to the same force. Their is no way to get rid of the power except one way. Death."

  Ghost Pony Rider nods and narrows his eye sockets. Twilight continued.

"With these powers, the user is almost invincible. They are powerful beyond belief and are known to be very hard to kill. However their is a known way to kill her."

  The two lean in.

"Their is a location in the Everfree Forest where a pool of cleansing is located. The pool exterminate any evil force with ease. I would like known how you are going to get her and her goons inside the pool."

  Ghost Pony Rider didn't know how he was gonna get Black Head inside the pool but he figured what he could do about Death Trap and Stroke. They were nothing but pawns. They didn't have as much power as her. They would be easy.

"Ill figure out a way."

  A sudden burst of the front door to the library made the entire group jump. Flipping Ghost Pony Riders hood and showing his skull. The guard who ran in ignored the skeleton as he approached Twilight. His voice in panic and in shock.

"Princess Twilight! Have you seen Princess Celestia!?"
