Ponysona 3: The Nightmare Hour

I was standing over Flash's dead body, anger consuming me, I wanted to know who killed him so that I could kill them, but I knew killing wasn't right.

"What are we supposed to do?" Sentinel asked.

"Leave him here." I said, everyone looked at me. "If we bring him back to the dorm then the police will think we killed him, Silver Wing, help the team get to the shadow, i'll go after the ponies who shot him."

"Wait, you're saying he was murdered by other ponies, but I thought only persona-users were able to operate in the Nightmare Hour." Crescent said.

"That's true, wait other persona-users killed Flash!" Twilight yelled in disbelief.

"As much as I hate to say that it's true, it is." I said. "Now Silver, help the others get to the shadow, i'm going after them." I then ran off to where I saw the ponies run away too.

"Damn, he's still following us!" I heard one of the ponies say. They where right infront of me, A mare in a silk dress, a stallion without a shirt, and another stallion with a jacket covering his mouth.

"Chidorita slow him down." The shirtless stallion said to the mare.

"Hikut!" The mare's persona appeared and shot ice shards at me. I easily dodged them.

"Kaizu!" I called forth my persona Kaizu, it might not have known fire but it was my most powerful one. "Death's touch!" My persona went and grabbed the mare breaking her persona.

"Agahhhhhhhhh!, Sito, Mal, help me!." She yelled to her companions.

"Sorry, you're on your own." The jacketed stallion said, and they disappeared into the darkness.

"Please don't kill me." She said in a pleading fashion. "I-I'll go to bed with you if you let me go." I looked at her with a menacing glare.

"Where you the one who shot Flash?" I asked.

"N-No it was Sito."

"Who's Sito?"

"Sito was the one without a shirt." She began to struggle. "Now let me go!"

"No, you're coming with me."

"So your name's Chidorita, nice name, maybe if you help us then we could go on a date." Crescent said while looking at the mare I took prisoner, I noticed that she was blushing because of Crescent.

"Crescent, enough with that, we need information from her, not you trying to score with her." Twilight said. "Now, Chidorita, tell us what we want to know, or you will be executed."

"O-Okay, what do you want to know?" Chidorita asked while panicking.

"Why did you kill Flash!" Sentinel asked in rage.

"He was getting to strong for his own good, he had Apathy-Syndrome." She said, we all looked at each other in confusion.

"What is, Apathy-Syndrome?" Maelody asked.

"It's what happens, when you close yourself off from the world." She explained.

"Just like Flash did, he never wanted us to get close to him." I said. "Dammit, why didn't he let us become close to him!"

"Because he shut out the world for a long time." Screen said. "He killed my parents, with that monstrous persona, he had it since I was a kid."

"Sorry to say but you still are a kid." Crescent said. "Now back to me scoring with you Chidorita."

"I guess we should all get ready, for the funeral later today." I said with sadness in my voice. "So let's get to bed."

The next day at school we where all gathered in the gymnasium, all of the students where mourning Flash, despite not actually knowing him.

"You know, I saw this coming, he would always get in trouble, so if you ask me, he deserved this." I heard a student say, I was going to tell them off but Crescent beat me to it.

"Just shut the hell up! You didn't know him, you didn't know what he was really like, and bastards like you are what's wrong with this world!" Crescent caused a commotion which then brought teachers our way.

"That's it, enough fighting you two, principals office now!" The teacher yelled at Crescent and the other student. I was pissed at that student too, there was no physical contact made until I walked to the student and put my hand on his shoulder.

"What the hell do you want?" He asked, he turned to look at me and flinched when my eyes met his. "H-hey, what's wrong with yo-" He started, but I interrupted him, I socked him right in the face, he fell backwards his nose bleeding because of my punch. The gymnasium was silent, the sound of my fist landing on his face spread through out the room.

"Don't you dare say another god damned word about Flash, he was a good guy, and you only judged him because of rumors you heard about him." I said, the pony was holding his nose with tears in his eyes. "And I know for a fact, that he did not deserve this."

"Great, why'd you do that Star?" Crescent asked me.

"I did it, because Flash doesn't deserve the disrespect he got from that asshole." I replied.

"You punched another student!" Crescent yelled in anger. "Was being suspended really worth it!"

"Yes." I replied, Crescent looked at me confused. "I made a promise when I accepted being the leader of S.E.E.S, and that was to protect my teammates, and doing that was part of it." I sat there in silence as everypony was looking at me in disbelief that I actually hit another pony, to them I was the nicest pony in the world, but now, that opinion must have changed. "We're not going to Tartarus tonight, goodnight." I walked up the stairs to go to my room, and when I opened the door, there was that pony that checked me in the first day i got there.

"So you finally did it, you punched somepony, feels good, doesn't it?" He asked, I was spacing on his name, I couldn't remember it at all.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You hit a pony, bet it felt so good, infact I know it felt good, I was the one that made you punch him after all." I looked at him with confusion, he made me hit him, I thought to myself, that can't be possible, He continued to look at me with a big grin on his face. "Incase you can't tell, i'm a part of you, and not only that, but I am you."

"What?" I yelled. "There is no way you can be me."

"Well that's true, i'm not you, but I am a part of you." His grin grew more sinister. "Ten years ago, when Nightmare Moon was defeated, the Nightmare hour showed up, and as a result, the evil in her body was expelled, and went to find a new host, you are that host, the catalyst, for the end of the world."
