Pink footage 2- Rainbow Dash

Case file

Victim: Miss Dash, known by her friends and family as 'Rainbow Dash-.

Time of death: 12:00, Midnight

Cause of death unknown. Victim has shown signs of an intense struggle, and has three slash marks across the chest and a slit throat.

This has been the second event of ponies dying of mysterious causes. First case was Miss Pie, who also retained the exact same damage as Miss Dash. A chain has been spotted.
Guards have been instructed to be on high alert.

While investigating the crime scene, strangely enough, yet another box of tapes have been found. Princess Celestia herself has agreed to view the tapes inside the box. The box they are contained in is in extremely bad condition, and so are the rest of the tapes.

This is the content of those tapes.

Tape 1

The recording starts at what appears to be a funeral. The camera is placed as if sitting by somepony's legs, as it focuses of a large pink coffin. Black balloons are visible, bobbing against the wall in a light breeze. Next to the recorder, a audible sob is heard. This funeral continues for 7 minutes before the camera is picked up in light blue hooves and carried underarm, quiet sobs being heard closely to the recorder.
The tape continues, as a loud humming is heard and the holder of the camera takes off, and the flapping of wings is audible. The holder is very clearly Miss Dash. She lands in her cloud home, the scene of the crime, and slowly makes her way inside, breaking down crying before the tape ends abruptly.
If paused exactly near the end of the recording, a dark shape is shown near the corner of the room, seemingly invisible to Miss Dash, it is also followed by a gentle flicker of static.

Tape 2

The recording starts with Miss Dash facing directly ahead, staring at the recorder.

"Hey there... my name is Rainbow Dash, and this is what Pinkie Pie once bought me for my birthday. I got this year's ago, I just never bothered to pull it out. I wanted to capture her final moments at her funeral..y'now..before she passed on...completely"
A quiet sob is heard from Miss Dash.

" I think it affected Twilight the most. She goes on about how she should have believed Pinkie. There's no convincing her it wasn't her fault..I mean jeez, she's more stubborn than AJ"

A brief flash of static makes it way onto the screen, and the dark shape is seen yet again for a split second.

" So now we're all sad, y'now, I'm gonna miss her...no one could throw a party quite like her...heh.."

Miss Dash is visibly crying, and the quickly ends the tape.

Tape 3

Miss Dash immediately appears, not even bothering to introduce herself.

"Heh, Twily..."

She smiles sadly, and doesn't make eye contact with the recorder.

"She was always going on...I mentioned this in my last recording, didn't I? I might as well elaborate a little. You see, she always talks about how she could have saved Pinkie, how she should have listened to her. AJ is doin' her best to knock some sense into her but it isn't working. Nothing works. The poor pony's nearly snapped. She never comes out of her house anymore. No matter what we do, what we say, she never believes us. It's as if she thinks there's a monster going after us."

She sighs.

"Speaking of that, she always goes on about how Pinkie said a monster was after her. And...I don't think it was a monster...it looked more like a robber in a scary mask to me. That's what it has to be. A monster like that couldn't exist..well, it shouldn't exist, anyways. Yeah, we got to go over and view the tapes."

Miss Dash appears visibly shaken. The guards who were viewing the tapes noticed something disturbing. What appears to be a large lump wrapped in a red stained bag is hidden in the corner of the room. It is fairly small. Another new thing the guards noticed was that the static came again, but lasted much longer.

The tape ends with Miss Dash beginning to hyper ventilate.

Tape 4

This tape seems to have different kinds of recordings. Most guards had to leave the room due to being disturbed.

The tape begins in Ponyville, at night. No one was currently out at the time, and the camera is being held in one hoof. The holders hoof seems to be very shaky, as the camera is wildly shaken, making the details hard to make out fully. Hooves against the ground become audible, with a light squishing sound. The video cuts out, with a static background and plain black text appearing on it.

"Did you miss me?"

It returns to the video of the unknown pony walking. It then flashes to a recording of foals in a playground, cheering and squealing. The one taking the footage is hidden among some trees.

Static covers the screen again, and the footage is being taken in Miss Dash's house. The figure approaches, leaning over the sleeping body of Miss Dash. The video cuts away for a split second. When slowed down it shows a pony trapped under a log, letting out a split shriek for help.

"See her move, see her breathe"

"I SEE"

The tape abruptly cuts off.

Tape 5

Miss Dash sits in front of the camera. She smiles weakly, but then a serious look comes across her face.

"Seems I got a 'present'. I think some creep is stalking me..."

She turns what appears to be the wrapped up item hidden in the corner of the room over in her hooves.

"It's got weird stuff on it...did someone spill their drink over it? Looks like red punch. Y'now, the kind you get at parties?"

Miss Dash leans forward, and sniffs the mysterious package. She reels backwards as if in shock.

"Ugh, it smells awful!"

A small note is attached with a red, sticky substance to the side. Miss Dash rips it off. The handwriting on the note is very crude, as if it was drawn by a filly. Miss Dash reads it out loud.

"Hello..I am your newest secret admirer. I hope you enjoy the gift from me"

She smirks, laughing.

"I beg this is gonna be a prank or something!"

She begins to tear off the stained packaging, revealing what is now identified as the bloody, decapitated head of a mare. Miss Dash screams and vomits on camera, but doesn't end the tape. The tape continues with Miss Dash kneeling on the floor, coughing. She is mumbling, but her voice is too quiet to be made out. She stands up shakily and ends the tape.

Tape 6

Miss Dash is visibly sleep deprived and still shaken from the last experience. It is also visible that she has been crying for several hours.

"I don't know what kind of sick buck would send me this. ..but just you know...you're a bucking monster..."

The tape cuts out for a whole three minutes. It shows the unknown pony,yet again carrying the video camera. It pauses outside Miss Dash's door, silently entering without her permission. Miss Dash is awake in her home, preparing a salad. The camera holder ducks underneath the table and a panting like a dog is heard. Miss Dash enters another room, and next to the camera, a high pitched, raspy giggle is heard. It then returns to the original video.

Miss Dash speaks.

"I mean, why would you...how could you..After all I've been through...and I know that wasn't fake, it was way too realistic to be fake... "

"You're si-"

A knocking sound Is heard. Miss Dash raises her head, her eyes widening.

"A visitor...I thought I told them not to drop by, can't they see I'm grieving?!"

Miss Dash goes off camera for a moment. A closing door is heard.

"Why the buck is everyone playing pranks on me?"

She takes a deep breath to calm herself.

"No one was there..."

The tape ends.

Tape 7

Miss Dash sighs worriedly. She seems to be in a worse condition than last time.

"I've worked up enough courage to tell the police...I'm gonna tell them. This could be the same murderer that killed Pinkie...I'll avenge her..."

An audible click is heard from the direction of the door. Miss Dash flies towards it. She is heard desperately attempting to open it. She is heard slamming it.
She comes back in view of the camera, shaken even more.

"I-it won't open..."

The tape ends

Tape 8

Miss Dash is clearly locked in her room, and shaking, clearly terrified.

"I should have listened to Twily...I should have listened...she was right, it was a monster, a monster that killed Pinkie...Why didn't I LISTEN!?"
She sobs loudly.
"I always brushed her off as being a crazy egghead but now I can see she had a point.."

Miss Dash lifts the camera up to wipe her eyes, and when she turns it back down there is a wrapped up bundle, similar to the last one. Miss Dash sobs and gasps, trying to hold in her tears.

"No...not again. .."

For a split second, the words "YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT" flash on the screen in red, jumbled text.

"No...no,no,no..."

A trembling blue hoof reaches out to pull the package in. Her hoof squishes against it, and she shivers, as some sort of gag reflex.

"Oh Celestia. .."

This package is almost identical to the last one, as it is in white wrapping and is also covered in the red liquid (identified as blood). Miss Dash unwraps the packaging, and something large falls out. Miss Dash shrieks, as the body of Miss Pie slithers out, with the same damage as she was found at her separate crime scene. Miss Dash yet again vomits.

The tape cuts out to footage of an unknown pony recording Miss Sparkle, as she writes something down while holding a book with her magic.

"These...it has to be one of these! I know it is..that's what killed Pinkie, that's the thing that's been stalking her.. they're called..."

The tape returns to Miss Dash. The door before her begins to buckle, and Miss Dash slips in her own vomit, trying to shuffle backwards. She suddenly shrieks loudly and angrily at the door.
The door smashes down, and a disfigured, mauled, blood covered form of Miss Dash peers in. It's smile takes up half of its face.

"Stay back!"

Miss Dash growls.

"YOUR THE THING THAT KILLED HER! MY FRIEND
ILL KILL YOU!"

The camera is dropped to the floor as Miss Dash is seen lunging for the figure. She snaps it's neck, and the bone is seen coming through the flesh, before is it sucked back in with a disgusting squishing noise. Miss dash screams in horror as it's neck pops back to normal. She begins backing away, panting heavily. The creature does not follow.
At this point half of the guards had left the viewing room after being sick. They suffered no consequence from Princess Celestia.

At this point, the body of Miss Pie rises slowly. Miss Dash gasps in horror, as it suddenly lifts it's head.

"HI DASHIE"

The creature similar to Miss Dash lunges for Miss Dash, and she is heard screaming before the tape abruptly cuts.

Tape 9

Miss Dash is seen sitting in front of the camera. He eyes are rolled back into her head, and blood is trickling from her chest. Half of her ear is ripped off, the other damaged with bite marks. She begins moving, bring shaken around like a ragdoll. The creature appears behind her, playing with her body.

"IM ALWAYS WATCHING
I CAN SEE YOU, CAN YOU SEE ME?"

The tape abruptly ends as the creature smiles.

The case has been carried out, and the royal guards still have no leads as to what or where the creature is. Miss Dash's funeral will be held soon, and Princess Celestia is taking even more concern. She is currently very unwell from a lack of sleep and a lack of eating.
The royal guards assure the citizens of Ponyville that we WILL bring an end to this beast.
