Night Terror

Rainbow Dash walked out of the storage wearing a blue shirt and jeans. She looked in a nearby mirror to see that she was a human. Lyra would be so jealous right now. Her hair was still multicolored and her eyes still violet, but not only was she human, she had her wings. Was she dead or something?

"Do not worry you are not dead," Tybalt said.

"How, how did you," Rainbow stuttered.

"I can read minds. You were asking yourself if you were dead. My answer was no you aren't." Now Tybalt was creepier. Not only did he look constantly sad but he could also read minds. What's next the ability to revive?

"Well that is what comes next." Now he just got creepier.

"All Dreamscapers and Phobias can achieve regeneration," Tybalt said," but they don't always get that chance with particular phenomena." This guy was talking nonsense. "No Rainbow Dash I am not talking nonsense."

"Tybalt you're needed," Jasper yelled as he ran down the hall towards them," Boogeyman drove away another one." Jasper was small, like midget small. He wore a fedora on his head and a trench coat. Probably to make him seem more menacing. His face was a deep shade of red. He had yellow eyes and he had sharp teeth and no nose. "Whatya looking at," Jasper asked.

"She's interested in you," Tybalt replied.

"Look lady I don't know who the hell you are but i'm married," Jasper exclaimed as he got up in Rainbow's face, the best he could.

"No Jasper what I mean is, she's interested in what you are," Tybalt said.

"I'm a birb, what else would I be?"

"You don't look like a bird," Rainbow said.

"Well of course I don't, I got my beak ripped off," Jasper said pointing to his mouth.

"That sounds gruesome."

"Sure to hell it was, nearly bled out. Now where was I," Jasper asked.

"Something about another phobia that Boogeyman killed and that phobia choose to revive as a Dreamscaper," Tybalt replied.

"Right we found her laying out in Dreamscape all alone," Jasper said," Sasalina wants your help to comfort the new found friend."

"Most certainly," Tybalt said as he turned to Rainbow Dash," excuse me Ms. Dash but I must help out my children. Please do feel free to walk around." Tybalt turned towards Jasper and followed him.

"Just calm down Mother Nature," Sasalina said as Mother Nature continued to cry. A small pond had formed at her feet.

"But my husband he, he," Mother Nature whimpered.

"He's fine, we promise we will help you get him back," Sasalina assured. Mother Nature calmed down, sorta, a rain cloud still hung over her head. There was a knocking at the door and in walked Tybalt. As he entered Mother Nature covered her face with her arms.

"Do not worry Mother Nature I will not hurt you," Tybalt said," i'm here to help."

"Y-you are," Mother Nature asked.

"Yes, now I heard you've been crying for quite some time," Tybalt said as he waved away the cloud over Mother Nature's head.

"Yes, yes I was," Mother Nature said. The small pond had become a puddle.

"We promise you Mother Nature we will get your husband out of Nightmarescape."

"Please, don't hurt him," Mother Nature whimpered.

"The Dreamscaper I send will try not to," Tybalt said," but I will not promise you that Father Time will not be harmed."

"Totally awesome," Vince said as he tried on a set of Dreamscaper gear. They were a pair of gloves that looked similar to Iron Man's repulsers. Except the bas of the gloves were attached to a piece of armor that locked around the elbow. On the bottom of it had three razor sharp blades. The gloves Vince were wearing weren't made of metal but rather some sort of fabric. Instead of shooting repulsers it shot sound waves at different frequencies.

"Hey be careful," Darren said," you might blow someone's ear drums out."

"I'll try not to." Vince ran over to a backpack and picked it up. Near it was a grey shirt with a symbol on it.

"Oh you found a Dreamscape symbol," Darren said," once you put that on that symbol represents your life as a Dreamscaper. Tearing it out will result in a slow and painful Phobiaization."

"Phobiaization," Vince asked.

"My word for becoming a Phobia." Vince nodded and slid on the shirt. He felt a sting as the symbol began to glow yellow.

"You're almost suited up." Darren passed a pair of grey pants to Vince along with the gloves. Vince slid them on and got a look at himself in the mirror.

"Nice. Now, can I go test this out," Vince asked.

"You'd have to ask Sasa-" Darren began.

"Okay thanks," Vince yelled as he bolted out the door.

"Vince no you can't just do that!"

"Watch me." Vince burst out the front doors and into the large Dreamscape. He looked down towards Nightmarescape and started to jump from platform to platform. Darren looked down at him and ran back inside.

"I'm sorry Boogeyman I truly am," Father Time said. He was bruised in many places.

"If you say sorry one more time Father Time I will rip your throat out," Boogeyman exclaimed as he watched Vince hop down. This was the first time he'd seen that Dreamscaper and it'd be the last time the Dreamscaper looked the way he did. Boogeyman swished his hand around in an elegant motion. From his hand came a small ball of black. That ball soon took the form of Vince, but had wings and instead of feet it had tall stilt like legs. Boogeyman laughed as he enlarged the being to the same size as Vince. They were both young and he new Vince would be weaker than his own Autophobia.

"What is that," Father Time asked

"This, Father Time, is Autophobia. The fear of one's self," Boogeyman replied. Autophobia looked at Boogeyman with a look of confusion. "Go autophobia destroy your counterpart." Autophobia looked up towards Vince.

"Why," Autophobia asked.

"Because I command you," Boogeyman growled.

"But he no harm anyone."

"Well i'm gonna end up harming you if you don't do as I say. Now attack your counterprt!" At that Boogeyman smacked Autophobia. Rubbing his cheek Autophobia took off towards Vince.

"Almost there," Vince told himself. The castle was a mere mile away still. From the castle flew something, something black. It kept getting closer, and closer, and closer. When it finally came in range Vince noticed it looked like him. When it reached him it stopped and stared at Vince. The creature held out its hand to Vince. Vince grabbed it and the creature started to fly towards the ground.

"Sternjekalt dammit," Boogeyman exclaimed. Without hesitation he began to charge a large ball of swirling darkness. When it was charged enough he fired it straight towards Vince. Autophobia, unaware of the dark projectile, heard as it struck Vince in the chest. Forcing him out of Autophobia's hands and sending him plummeting to the ground below. Autophobia flew after him but was stopped by a surge of water blasting towards him. Vince struck the ground, hard. Autophobia looked around for his attacker and saw Aquaphobia down below. Her mermaid like appearance made her seem like she couldn't do harm. But any Phobia most most likely knew better. Any Phobia except Autophobia. Autophobia flew towards her at top speed hands outstretched ready to grab her and strangle her. From above Boogeyman looked down at the young Dreamscaper.

Vince laid limp on the Nightmarescape ground. He had taken quite the fall and just couldn't move. All he could do is stare up towards Dreamscape and hope someone, or something, came to help him. He heard fighting in the background and a booming laugh. The fighting died down and all that was left to listen to was the laugh. "Bravo Dreamscaper, bravo," Boogeyman said as he clapped," haven't been here long and you're already going to become a Phobia. Great job. Bring him to me Autophobia." Autophobia stood there staring at Vince. He felt terrible, he had just brought Vince to his death. Then he remembered, deep in his memories Boogeyman created for him, that an Autophobia can lend limbs and such to their counterpart. Autophobia concentrated on Vince. He began to give Vince his wings. They first formed as a shadow on the ground but soon became large, black angel wings. Vince was surprised but he had no power over the wings. They were automatically sending him up towards Dreamscape.

"No you moron," Boogeyman yelled as he jumped from his perch in his castle and onto the ground below. He walked up to Autophobia and grabbed him. He then snapped his legs and crushed his hands. He then shoved him to the ground forcefully.  Meanwhile Vince was gone and Autophobia's wings had returned. In a fit of rage Boogeyman began to tear feathers out in clumps until all that was left were the stubs. Boogeyman then proceeded to tear them out as well. He kicked Autophobia aside and started to walk towards his castle. Autophobia began to cry and thousands of Phobias watched as Boogeyman just kept walking. As he entered he came face to face with Pistolpetaphobia. He was a four armed cowboy with a stetson, scarf, and the usual cowboy get up.

"Well that there that ya did was just plain harsh, poor kid didn' deserve the sorts of punishment," Pistolpetaphobia said. Only to receive a punch to the stomach and a smack across the face.

"Do not tell me what is harsh and what isn't," Boogeyman yelled, "when you get your own throne and kingdom you can treat your subjects your way. But i'm in charge here. Not you."

"B-b-but," Pistolpetaphobia stuttered.

"But nothing. Ask another question and the fear of cowboys is going to fear guns." Boogeyman shoved Pistolpetphobia against a wall and kept walking.

"Oh my Sternjekalt Vince, don't ever do that again," Darren said as he hugged Vince. Vince was covered from head to toe in dirt and bruises.

"Young man what kind of stunt were you trying to pull," Sasalina asked.

"Well I got curious about that place below Dreamscape and I wanted to see it first hand," Vince replied.

"You nearly got yourself killed," Darren yelled," we don't go there because Boogeyman exists there and hates the shit out of every single Dreamscaper ever." Tybalt walked in with Rainbow Dash following behind. She wasn't sure whether she was dreaming anymore. If she was then she'd most likely wake up soon, on a mountain side, with all her friends around her worried sick. Twilight's violet eyes would be bloodshot or something and her mane and tail would be a complete mess. Pinkie would be sitting around, head hung low, her pink mane deflated. She'd probably have some sort of get better soon cupcake.

"You're friends are very worried. Not because you're out cold but because you've disappeared from their dimensional plain," Tybalt said.

"If I weren't so worried about going home i'd actually think that sounded cool," Rainbow mumbled.

"You can see them if you'd like, we Dreamscapers can go into other's dreams," Tybalt told Rainbow.

"Seriously?"

"Yes. It's rather easy."

"Show me. I need to tell them where I am."
