Chapter 1 - Intentions

It was months since my last visit to equestria when i received a disturbing letter from the princess herself that was sent to my world...
Rainbow Dash Had disappeared...

“Again?!” i said in frustration...i read the note until i came to the middle part...
my eyes widened with both fear and disbelief. . . she was missing for 4 days now!

“H-How?!. . how did this happen?!” wasting no time. . . i grabbed my sword and conjured lightning to it. . . . i slashed a hole to equestria and entered... I reverted to my pony self and ran towards the town. . . there in the center of townsquare ponies talked about the disappearance of other ponies in equestria. . . i saw twilight near the square and ran up to her.

”WHAT HAPPENED TWILIGHT!!!"

twilight just gave me a blank look. . . .

i don't understand . . how could this happen. . . its absurd!
i need to get to the bottom of it. . as soon as possible. . i left twilight and went to the person who can shed some light to the subject . . . Princess Celestia

At the castle. . .i asked the princess of what had happened 4 days ago, as she said several ponies including rainbow dash went missing, disappeared with out a trace... She then discussed with me to solve the mystery of the vanishing ponies. . she pleaded me to use my power to help them find the missing ponies before something terrible happens to them.
she then added that ponies who investigated the disappearance had reported that some witnesses saw the victims entering sugar cube corner. . . after that they would just simply disappear...
the princess asked me to investigate sugar cube corner and report any unusual activities in the vicinity.... I agreed and said to go in the morning...

Dawn breaks... as i carried my sword in my back i walked over to the town square and looked where sugar cube corner is...
I was soon greeted by Pinkie who came out of a building of what it appears to be a bakery...
“Welcome to sugar cube corner!” she bounces up and down as she talked to me...

So this is sugar cube corner...It wasn't a street... it was a building!

I asked pinkie about the Strange disappearance around the area....
‘Nope, Nope Nopie Dope!” she said still bouncing...
How could she be this energetic while her friend just went missing 4 days ago...
“Mind if i come in?” i asked her. . .
“Sure, sure come on right in!” she said in excitement. . . the place was like a giant cake castle, like i saw in one anime and like out of the fairy tail hansel and grethel. . . the inside of the place seems more like pastry rather than a building. "How could this still stand if a storm raged in?" i asked my self. . .
As i walked in i immediately smelled a potent odor. . its like. . . embalming fluid!

“Pinkie?” i said in a curious tone “do you smell that?” I asked. .
“Smell what?” Pinkie innocently said.
‘That! that smell of chemicals. . embalming fluid!!” i asked her wanting to get answers about that foul odor
“Oh i. . . uhmm . . . stuffing! yeah stuffing. . “ she stammered
“Stuffing what?!” i kept on asking, insisting to know. .
“just stuff!!!” she shouted in a frustrated tone
“okay. . okay i was just asking” i backed up from her then continued looking around

as i was walking around i tripped on something across the room. .

She quicky grabbed the thing, then she flashed a smile and giggles as she put the rug back in place. . . then went through the kitchen. . . moments later she went out holding something between her mouth.
“What some cupcakes Lightning?! they’re freshly baked!“ she handed me a tray of cupcakes while she held it in her mouth. . . “no thanks. I'm not that hungry anyway” i said to her while giving her a glare

“Ohf comf onf theyf realllyf deliciousf” her talking sounded muffled even so, i could understand it much.
“i said NO!” i angrily said. .
“Oh come on please please please please please please please please pleeeeaaaassee!!!”
knowing pinkie she will keep on pestering me until i do. . . and besides. . . im not use to hurting a girls feelings before. . . not that i know of. . .

“ALRIGHT!!!!! alright ill try JUST one! alright . . “

She claps and giggled as i took the cupcake . . . i took a bite. . the flavor bursted into my mouth. .
“wow pinkie this is great!” i said while i stuff my mouth full of it “how did you made this?”
“oh. . You’ll find out soon enough” she said while giggling some more . . .

i finished the whole thing. . . . licking my hoof with delight . . .
“That was good pinkie thanks” after saying that i felt something odd. . .
my mind is spinning a bit. . .
I'm seeing double. . .
I'm getting dizzy. .
“oh you finished it all!” said pinkie as she goes back in the kitchen returning the tray. . .
at the same time my sword glowed a bit. . . i felt a tingling sensation, i felt cold. . yet at the same time warm . .
the glow disappeared and so does my dizziness
“Thats odd” i said to my self. . . i looked at my sword as the glow slowly disappears
she came back with a wheel cart, grinning as she came out .
i called out to her and looked at me . . surprised. .
“You . . .i thought that you . . . you. . uhmm i mean. . “

“You thought that i was what?” i asked wondering what she meant . .
“N-n-n-n-nothing!” she smiled and giggles as she kicks the wheel cart back to the kitchen
“Whats that for?” i asked her. . “just. . . . something to play with. . . hee hee” she said giggling
“O~kay. . . well i better leave for now. . . i still need to do something” I said to her heading to the front door. . .
“W-w-w-wait! dont you want another cupcake?!” she blocks the door as she handed me another cupcake
“No! pinkie i had enough and i need to get going” again she pleaded for me to eat that thing. . .
“okay okay! ill eat it later okay?! i really need to go!” i took the cupcake and left. .
i could have sworn that her mane went straight and her facial expression became . . . . odd. .

later i. . i walked to the streets. . asking pony after pony. . asking about the ponies who disappeared . . finding out what's their connection to each other. . . motives . . . reasons. . . I'm about to snap. .
i don’t get it!. . . i came to a dead end to this investigation. . . i went to Celestia to bring back report. . .
I asked her if that place really where ponies were last seen. . she is positive about the place. . it was definitely
"Sugar Cube corner"

Evening came. . . .

i went to stay at Twilight’s place as we discussed about the diappearances . .
“this doesn't make any sense twilight! who would want to kidnap them? or rather pony-nap them. . what is their connections?! whats the motive? all these questions is making my head crack!!" I said in an irritated tone
“You sure know a lot of these things Lightning” twilight said while she herself is browsing at her books. . .
“well sure i do. . in my world this things are quite common . . . and DON'T! even think about asking me why”
Just then Spike went near
"Can i have that cupcake? it looks delicious!" he points to the cupcake i left near my desk

“I forgotten about this. . . okay you can have it” i handed the cupcake to spike. . and as soon as he took a bite at it he begins to wobble then falls asleep.

“SPIKE!!!” Twilight screamed as she rushed to the collapsed spike. . .
"what happened to him?!" i walked over to twilight
"He-He's out cold" she said trembling
"well. . . what did he eat?" i asked. .
"Well.. . nothing! we were just about to have dinner" she said "the only thing he ate now is that cupcake" she said
"The cupcake?!" i said wondering. . .
i took the half eaten cupcake and examined it. . .
“twilight help me out here!” Twilight set spike to the couch then went to me .
“wha-whats going on?” she asked . .
“take a look at this” showing her a liquid substance that's oozing out of the the cupcake itself.
“what is this?!” she asked. . .
"i don't know. . . Ill examine it first. . in the meantime. take care of spike. . . ill let you know what i gathered later"
she nods and took spike to the bed. . . moments later i called in twilight and told her about the liquid
“it is a sleeping potion of some kind” i explained "extracted from the drowsing flower" i told her
“what for? and why is it in the cupcake?” She asked me. . . wanting answers that i haven't got yet. .
“I don't know twilight. . .i just don't kn-" i stopped. . "i just thought about something twilight" i told her in a serious voice
a sudden memory earlier flashed through my mind. .

she strangely answered my first question about the chemical i smelled . .
“Oh i. . . uhmm . . . stuffing! yeah stuffing. . “

hid something beneath the rug

brought out a cart big enough to carry something big

insistant about the cupcakes
“What some cupcakes Lightning?! they’re freshly baked!“

“It happened all in SUGAR CUBE CORNER”

and her expression when i forced my self out of the place. . . .

its not possible. . . .

Chapter 2 - Killing Room

i wasn't sure. . . . i needed proof. . .

“Twilight I'm going out for a walk . . i need to clear my mind off a bit. . stay and take care of spike okay?” she nodded as i walked out the door . .

i went to sugar cube corner to investigate. . . examined the place outside, top to bottom.
looking for a way in. . . the window in the kitchen area was open. . . i went to get a wooden crate and used it as a boost to go it to the compound. . . i went in quietly. . it was dark. . .
and it was quiet. . . too quiet. . . . i crept into the place hoping no one could hear me. . . it was hard for me to move when the entire place is dark. . . then i remembered an infrared monocle that i recenty created while spare time in my world. . .using a ruby enchanted with twilight's magic days earlier. .

I picked it in the side of my small pocket near my hoof and put in on. . .it was like night vision, i only see red though .
but I could see much better now. . .. . i moved up the stairs towards a row of rooms. . i peeked in and saw a couple sleeping in the first room. . the second was locked. . . so was the other Three rooms. .

with no luck in the upper floors i went down the main floor to investigate some more, i noticed a strange trail of fluid coming from the counter and into the back door. . . someone went here recently. . . i wondered why this liquid started at the counter. . i never saw anything here earlier, just then i saw the rug that pinkie earlier tried to hide something in it. . . i brushed off the rug when i saw a latch. . .of what appears to be the basement of the house. . . i cautiously went down towards the dark abyss . . .
i used my monocle to look into the darkness. . . i followed the trail towards the dark. . . i could clearly see that the trail ended up in a bucket. . . i looked inside. . . its some sort of liquid. . i focused my monocle further to focus on the thing in the bucket.

to my horror. . . what i saw made me almost vomit. . . it was blood. . . no doubt about it. . .
i didn't notice it at first. . . but as soon as i lifted my monocle up more trails of blood the wall is literally drenched with blood and a hanging remains of a pony limbs torn apart . . parts of his. . or her body were on the table. . . and the head rest on the table eyes closed. . . . near the mangled corpse was a pelt of different colored skin. . . of what is seems to be.

RAINBOW DASH!!!

this made me sick. . . . who would do such a thing!!!?? as i hold my self from vomiting i heard footsteps coming upstairs. . .
this is bad. . .who ever did this. . . must be a blood thirsty psycho killer. . .

i waited in the dark to see who it was. should i attack? how?! i left my sword in twilight's! this is bad. . . i waited. . as the killer went down the flight of stairs my heart pounded fast. . hooves ready to pounce at him. . just then . .pinkie went down. . i let out a sigh of relief. . .but i knew she was also in danger, i rushed to her to warn her about the killer in the place. . .

she almost jumped in fear when i rushed towards her. . .
“PINKIE!! there’s a killer in this freaking house we better get out of here" i spoke still gasping for air after being scared out of my wits. . she just laughed and giggles. . what could be so funny?! how could this pony laugh at a dire situation i shook her to get a grip as i showed her the horrifying scene in the basement. . . she looked at me smiling and said
“Silly pony. . . i’m the one who did this!”
i could not believe it. . my mouth was widely open . . . . “nice joke there pinkie. . . you really got me there” i hope that she was just joking. . .
“you know. . . .” she started “thats the same thing Rainbow Dash said before i tore her to shreds
“ARE YOU FRIDDGIN’ OUT!OF YOUR MIND!! i shouted. . .
"You were the one who did that to her?!" still shouting but more furious
"well of course i did! after all she help me bake cupcakes" She laughed
upon hearing that i immediately vomited. . . i regain my footing after wobbling in disbelief. . .
“SHE WAS YOUR FRIEND!!! HOW COULD YOU KILL THEM IN COLD BLOOD?!”
i cried a soft cry. . .knowing that she just came back from the real world to here, and this had happened to her. . . .

“I Didnt kill her!” she said in a laughing voice “they’re here with us cant you see??” she points to the dismembered corpses and stuffed skins of past ponies she cut opened. . .

“Your insane!” i started to back away a bit when suddenly i felt a sharp pain behind me. .
i slowly looked back when i saw apple bloom stabbed in me in the back with a syringe. . .
“Y-Your AppleJacks s-sister!! w-why??”
all i remember is falling down to the ground and hearing her laugh. . .right after that i passed out

i don't actually know how long i was out. . .

a cold liquid hits me directly in the face, then a splash of cold water . . . i coughed and gasped for air though the water entered my nose and mouth. . . .
i noticed immediately that i was shackled in the wall. . . arms,legs. . and my waist
but my wings are fully exposed and not tied. . .

i struggled to get free. . i kicked and wriggled with no effect at all. . .
“GOD DAMN YOU!!!” i shouted at pinkie. . .
“SHOW YOUR SELF YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A FRIEND!!!”

the lights went on and sure enough pinkie was near the stairwell. . with applebloom right beside her. . .
“how could you do this apple bloom?! why are you helping this monster?!”
she kept silent. . .

“crash, crash, crash, crash. . . . what to do, what to do. . .”
she keeps repeating that sentence over and over while pacing back and forth
she is wearing of what it seems to be cutie marks. . . and wearing a necklace made out of unicorn horns! and wings of pegasians in her back. . this is bad. . . .
"YOUR SICK!!" i shouted at her once more. . "shut yer mouth" applebloom shouted at me

then i realized my monocle was still in my left eye. . . . i looked at pinkie closely. . .
i saw something that doesn't seem right about pinkie. . . . the former pink aura and cotton candy scented pony is NOT the pony facing me here. . . then it hit me. . i remembered that princess luna mentioned me something about pinkie. . . that a different side of pinkie that was hidden in a long time. . . “your not pinkie are you?”
the former pinkie stopped. . . its a case of an obvious sickness. . . a twin personality disorder.. .
“i know who you are” this sickness was common in my world. . . and the one facing me was non other than. . .
"Pinkamena Diane Pie"
She laughed so hard that she almost fell to the floor. .
i was really mad. . . the pinkie we all know and loved had gone crazy. . . .
“you’ll pay for this pinkamena. . .you will pay DEARLY FOR THIS!!!”

she laughed again. . . “and what could you possibly do huh?! are you gonna spit me to death? are you gonna beg me mercy? go ahead BEG!!! BEG!!” she really laughed so hard that she barely gasping any air.

I HAD ENOUGH!!!!

The house started to shake. . . . “w-w-whats happening!?” Pinkamena stumbled as she tried to get her balance.. . . apple bloom stood there shaking. . .

“you underestimated me pinkamena.. .” i snapped the chains with my own bare hoof. . . and gave pinkamena a great punch. . . . she didnt even flinch when i hit her on the face. . . i grabbed apple bloom and went to the top floor at the kitchen where i locked her up on a cage. . . . “stay put you little brat” i yelled at her. . .
i flied to the door to the basement to finish the job. . but by the time i went back she was gone. . .
all that remains is the stuffed version of R.D . . . i could not bare the sight of what she did to her. i did the unthinkable. . . i took her internal organs her skull and her brain. . . or bits of it. . . and flown out of the sky. . . .

That evening. . . twilight was terrified and shocked to see the remains of R.D. . . spike then collapse on sight. . . my thoughts guessed that twilight was going to freak out. . . i was right. . . she then cried at the sight of her friend became like this. . .

Spike woke up then spots something near my back

“Whats that?” he points to it as i grabbed it. . . its a note. . .

Hi Lightning!
You’re probably so wrapped up in this investigation that you forgot that today is your birthday! Well, I went ahead and planned this whole thing JUST FOR YOU! hope you like it, because I went ahead and got you a present! Use it well!

its not my birthday. . . she IS crazy!

right behind my left wing was a box tied with rainbow’s colored mane. . .
it was dashies wings!!

“Looks like we got all parts of her. . .” i smirked

just then a note spits out of Spike. . . Twilight read it. . .

“My Faithful student

we regret to inform you that rarity has just been taken by Pinkamina

We are currently looking for her as we speak. . . “

this is bad. . . .

i wrote back to her telling that i had captured apple bloom in a cage at sugar cube corner. . .
and needed an immediate extraction of the troubled pony. . .

Celestia sent Twilight along with spike at the location. .

while i made my own investigation. . . on where pinkemina went. . and to find where rarity could be. . .
i tracked her day and night straight for 2 days. searching every place at ponyville.
the last place i looked was the mayors office . . what i found was her body opened and intestines where hanging, she's still alive but barely. . i fixed her a bit then flies to the hospital to check her up. . one night of searching later still was no luck. . . i was tired. . and went on top of a cloud to lay on. . "thats funny. . this might be the same cloud that dash used to sleep" i said to my self
i then looked at the map that Celestia gave me a day before, i couldn't understand it. . . i marked all the places of the disappeared ponies house and tried to make any connections, but to no avail. i went down to a nearby tree to heat my self up., . its was quite cold up there anyway . . just then flutter shy walked over to me. .
“don't you think that these disappearances are random?” she asked in a calm voice. .
“you think so?” i replied with curiosity“ then i showed her dotted places where the disappearances took place.
"its like there is a pattern" she said. . . she then looked at it closer. . inspecting every bit of it. . "the dots connects to one house to the other, see" she points to each house over to the other. . she was right. . and by the time we connected the dots we saw that rarity's house was the last one in the trail. she already knew that rarity went missing as well. .
"wait, something else is here" she said. . pointing to another building across ponyville. . .

“oh my god!!” i was suprised, we knew where the location of pinkamina was. . . “lets go flutter shy! we got no time to lose!!!”
“w-wha--?”she squealed as i dragged her towards twilights house. . . when i came inside. . .spike was the only one there “is there a problem?” spike said while reading
“wheres twilight?!” i asked him. . . . “She said that she’s going to applejacks farm!” he said while eating a bowl of gems

twilight was questioning apple bloom about the missing poinies. . .
she gave her an identical map to tell them where would rarity be. . .
“she might be in this area here. . . ah think. .”
The Place was. . . .

Manehattan

as we both run to the manehattan we met twilight at the intersection of sugar cube corner. she had the same idea where pinkie was. . .

Chapter 3 - A New Dark Side

the three of us went to the place to confront the troubled pinkie.

at the center of manehattan lies a rundown building . . .rugged and about to be demolished. . i went in first and told the two of them to stay outside. . .they both nodded
the place was dark. . . just like when i was in the shop . . . with my sword drawn i was prepared to attack. without warning pinkie came out of the dark and attacked me with a pair of knives. .

i barely blocked her attack. . . “PINKIE!!! stop it!! this isn't you at all!! why are you doing this?!”

“it's fun!! i liked it!!” she said shivering i repelled her knives as she tumbles down the hallway
“you don't understand how good is to kill!!” She added

“I thought Rainbow was your friend!!?? come on pinkie i know you can hear me!! FIGHT THIS DARN THING!!! lets go home together!!”
twilight still outside heard the commotion inside and went to take a look. . fluttershy tried to stop her, but she didn't listen and went in. . .

as soon as she went in, pinkie saw her. . and went to kill at twilight. . . time seemed to slow time. . as she charges towards twilight . . . .

my eyes went red. . . lightning conjured into my blade. . . . with lightning speed i went in front of pinkie then slashed her across her body. . . a bright flash of light blinds everypony around. . .

2 days later. . .

everything went to normal . . pinkie went back to her regular self. . . Rainbow Dash how ever came back alive and flying once more. . .rarity is working her newest dresses. . . fluttershy is at her tree taking care of her animal friends. . . . apple bloom on the other hand kept on having nightmares about that ordeal. . other than that she was back to her old self. . . everyone in ponyville kept going like every day was. . .

But the day before. . .We Both stood still, Shocked by the fact that we had mysteriously disappeared and turned up in the library. What sort of mystery of the universe could have caused such a thing? I saw my own pondering question reflected in the eyes of Twilight Sparkle. Tenuously we ventured outside, to find a vibrant midsummer day . . We then saw Pinkie pie, rather skipping and bouncing... and greeted us a good morning. . . furious, i ran up to her and grabbed her down on the dirt. . “Alright freak show! why did you came back at ponyville?” i was angry and frustrated, why is she here? as of she returned here all happy and bouncy while she just killed R.D! twilight just stood there watching as i dealt with her my self

“W-w-what are you talking about crash?” she asked both confused and terrified
“you know what you did you psychopath! you Killed Rainbo-” before i could finish my sentence rainbow dash flies over us shouting at me to stop. . .

Twilight looked at disbelief... Yet I on the other hand is stunned as her... my eyes both almost popped out as i looked at rainbow dash flying alive and pretty much well , we both dropped our jaw in surprised....

“buh buh buh buh buh buh buh” i mubled as i stood there speechless
“can you get off of me now?!” Pinkie asked me
i moved aside... and went to rainbow dash... i touched her wings...real. . .
i touched her mane. . . real. . .
i poked her eye. . . “AWW!! hey why did you do that for?!”

“sh-shes alive!” I shouted at twilight already crying with joy. .

“Ofcourse im alive. . .why wouldn't i be?” she snapped back. . . i asked for their forgiveness for what i just did. .
she went off flying moments later, and then pinkie went off her way as well. . as twilight and i went inside we gave each other a look “What just happened?!” Twilight asked. . . wanting answers quickly. . .

“i haven't got a clue Twilight. . . not at all”. .

i went to sugar cube corner later and asked if i can go to the cellar. . .
when i came down . . nothing was out of the ordinary . . .only barrels and tools . . thinking that there might something be in the barrels i opened each and every barrel i see. . . nothing. . .
searched the room for secret passage. . . nothing. . .

i went out to Manehattan to look at the old building. . . it wasn't there anymore . . only an empty field

i think for a while. . . then i remembered something. . . the time i struck pinkie with my sword it was illuminating and lightning charged the blade. . . . i also remembered the legend. . . that i forgotten since my last visit here. . . .

“The legend says that if the blade is resonating with the tranquility of the sun and blazed by the power of lightning and is swung on to a pure hearted soul. . . instead of killing it. . it will restore the persons normal self and heals all pain and ailments.”

but there was no sun. . . . how could that effect be possible? then i thought. . . maybe because lightning is much alike with the sun. . . maybe. . . but that doesn't explain how did the dead can be brought back to life!?
guess. . . there are some things i could not understand. . . this sword is wonderful indeed. . . guess i got a lot of training to do. . . . . . .

That evening. . . pinkie had a party. . . we were invited. . . it was a blast. . i enjoyed my self quite nicely. .
with nothing else to worry about. . . i went to twilight's house and took a rest. . .i pinched my self. .
no. . i wasn't dreaming at all. . .

as i was about to sleep my sword started to glow. . . i took the sword and examined it . . .i think I'm imagining this. . . i think i saw pinkies face in here. . . . “YoU HaVenT HeaRd ThE LasT Of mE!” said the other pinkie in the sword. . . “IlL Be BaCk!!!” i conjured lightning to it and disperse the lightning. . . purging the other pinkie. . . . she was gone. . .

Like i said before. . .ill Protect the Ponies. . . One way or another. . .

then. . . something inside me keeps on talking. . . “they just using you.. . they dont really need you. . .
they’re just using you. . . . they must pay”
