The Day PonyVille Went Dark

~Hallowed Halls Defiled~

Late in the night Princess Twilight Sparkle holds a meeting, with Applejack, Rarity and RainbowDash. "Is everypony here?" an anxsious Twilight asks the group of gathered ponies. Yeah, I guess so.Sooo what's the big problem now twilight?" Rainbow responds.

"And for that matter where is Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy?" Applejack chimes in.Preparing to respond Twilight is interupted by knock on the door.Sighing the princess tasks Spike the Dragon to take care of the visitor. Entering the hall Spike mutters under his breath. Faking a smile so large spike swings the door open and says;"Princess Twilight's residence may I help you?". Not receiving an answer he opens his eyes to see no one, looking around Spike notices a sealed note on the doorstep. Heading back inside into the meeting Spike is greeted with; "So who was it and what did they want?"

Not very happy at having to leave the room for a no-show visitor on the other side, Spike Responds with a note of distaste in his voice "No one, Just this note." as he finishes he hands over the note to Twilight. Taking the note from Spike Twilight turns the note over, noticing the seal she lets out a sigh of Relief. Looking on at her friened Apple Jack asks;"So uh who's it from Twi?" Looking on, Rainbow looks back between Apple Jack and Twilight in fit she says rather quite loudly;"Is there something I am missing here?"

At the mere mention of Ranbow missing a point caused a stiffled chuckle from Rarity.

"Not at all Darling"

"Quiet th' both of ya."

Not sure what it was about Twilight decides to finish the meeting. Informing her friends of the recent attacks and not suscpects, this prompts an irrational but true to her personality response from Rainbow "What I would give to go one on one with the monster." Just outside the Halls window sat an ominous Raven.Soon the Meeting ended, The Raven takes to the sky. Arriving at the cabin in the woods near Ranbow Falls. Arianna is awakened by the Raven; "Ah yes what is it RivenClaw?" In a puff of smoke RivenCLaw transforms into a Beautiful Pearl Black unicorn. Walking nearer to the window, she responds "It seems we have a little problem..That Princess is begining to interfere."

"Will we have to push the agenda up?"

"No I think not, Finish the spell with Tiara.Then we will see what miss Sparkle has in mind."

"Very well then Riven." Grabing the last of the ingredients for the mind-Swap spell Arianna heads into the cellar, the door closing whith a bang. Pondering to herself Riven thinks of the primary goal of the two's mission. Suddenly the silence of the cabin is broken by the shrieks of Tiara in exsaperating pain. Riven Grins.

Ha ha ha ha ha! This lovely little Filly will be the last of this town to ever see me!" Arianna mutters to her self, picking up a bottle marked with a skull and soul-bound enchatments. Drawing closer to Tiara with minimal Effort she poors the elixor across her mare hood drawing intricate designs all-the-while reciting an incantaion in an ancient tongue. As the ritual draws to a close both soon are unconscious. Riven enters the room; "Wake up you two." She coos softly to Arianna and Diamond.

Both ponies yawn wide, Drawing in a big deep breath Arianna asks Riven "D-Did it work?"

"Yes, my dear it has." Riven replies holiding a mirror to Arianna, however the reflection was not that of her own but that in which was Diamond's. Gleefully Arianna takes to the new body she has aquired, Grinning and proding as well modeling herself in the mirror she begins to take her sweet time. Riven looks on with a rather quite amused smile, chuckling soflty to herself. Now dear, you know what you have to do.Correct?" Riven asks Arianna. Resoponding in kind;"Yes, I do my love."
With that the two begin to concoct the story of Arianna now as Diamond Tiara's escape.

Riven instructs Arianna to take the lives of the few important citizens in the desolate hell hole that is Ponyville. Waliking out of the cabin Arianna limps toward town. Coming across the some local hikers she calls out weakly; "H-help me. Somepony help me please." nearly fainting Arianna causes a scene tumbling down the hill out of control. Realising the ruckus that was caused by the fainitng pony one of the hikers calls "O-oh dear is that Diamond. OH-My Sweet Celestia its her.."

Rushing to her side the hikers gather around questioning the leader of the condition of the pony. Hushing the group Fluttershy carefully and swiftly issues orders, to make a sling and cancelling the rest of the trip. Arriving at Ponyville Clinic the group rushes into the emergency room, calling for a nurse. A single orderly on duty rushes up and fires a million standard questions in five seconds flat. Moaning Diamond is now in extreme pain. A doctor rushes into the lobby and informs the group that Diamond is to be taken into intensive care.
