You stared intensively at your base camp, looking at every detail, from the gargantuan of a Sauropod that was the iconic piece of the camp, to the small pens down near his feet, which held his old and new dinosaurs. You kept focus on the pens, wondering Who, or what, could've done this? What you were thinking about was the recent disappearances of some dinosaurs.

There were three dinosaurs missing: The Pachycephalosaurus, and the two Dilophosaurus's. Both pens had been breached by someone, or something. It was very unfortunate. The Pachy was growing more friendly towards you, letting you get near it without it buck at you, also Pachycephalosaurus was ironically your favorite dinosaur. The Dilophosaurus's had finally mated after countless hours of trying to make them. Even more fucked up, when you went to go do some primitive pregnancy tests, it came out positive, which meant she had a bunch of eggs forming in her. You went strait to the castle and started a shit storm with the Princess.

"What the hell do you mean you haven't seen them? They were in their pens yesterday!" you complained to Twilight Sparkle.

"What I mean is that I haven't seen any loose dinosaurs. Not a hard concept to grasp on!" she said back.

"Yeah I know, but you didn't hear them? Like at all? No baahs or hooting?" she shook her head no in response.

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Well," you began. "Do you think something took 'em?"

"That's very feasible. Did you hear anything come near your camp last night?"

"No, but when I went to check the pens, there were large breaches in the fences. The Pachy could've easily done that, but the Dilophosarus's don't have the strength to even lift a log, let alone destroy a fence."

"So something did take them."

"Seems so..." something was very fishy about this whole situation. There were no tracks of any creatures in the area, and yet there are two broken fences to prove that wrong. Another point is that nothing that big has been spotted in Equestria yet. It was really bone chilling to think about.

There was a long pause, until you stepped up and began to talk again.

"This carnivore is definitely a night dweller, no doubt about it. But I don't know if it's nocturnal or not. Lots of carnivores hunt at dusk before they sleep. Now, I assume a few ponies go out at night to do some activities, am I correct?" you ask Twilight.

"Of course. Have you seen Rainbow Dash on a Friday night? She always go down to the local bar and comes back more drunk than a stallion could ever be." you let off a slight chuckle. Oh Rainbow Dash, always getting wasted.

"Well, until further notice, they can't. This thing is carnivorous. I don't want any civilian casualties."

"Well, I guess I could start a temporary curfew. I just need permission from the princesses..." at this point, you still haven't met the two Princesses, Celestia and Luna. You've heard good things about them, and you kind of wanted to meet them. In person.

Out of nowhere, you ask "Can I come?"

"Sorry," Twilight began. "But I'm just going to ask Spike to write them a letter."

"Oh, that's fine."

A few minutes later, Spike had fully written the note asking permission for a temporary curfew. But before Spike could send it off...

"WAIT!" you shrieked.

"What's wrong?" Spike annoyingly asked.

"Can you say that I said hello?" you said with a smirk.

"Ugh, fine." Spike unrolled the paper, grabbed the pen, and wrote a note on the back. It said:

P.S

Nash, the Human, said hello. That is all.

He re-rolls the note, puts it up to his face, and blows a flame out of his mouth. A cloud of dust swiftly heads towards the Princesses castle.

A few minutes later, a note pops up out of nowhere, containing the answer.

Twilight grabs the paper with her magic and begins to read it to herself.

"What does it say?" you ask.

"She says that if the town is in danger, which it is, then a temporary curfew is allowed until the creatures are gone with."

"Did she say anything else?"

Twilight checks the note, then she flips the paper over, revealing a P.S.

"Ah yes, she said:

P.S

Tell Nash we said greetings as well."

At that, you got the biggest grin you've had in four years.

"That is all I wanted." you squeaked.

It has been an hour, and a mandatory gathering at the Castle of Friendship was made. Everyone in Ponyville had to attend. As soon as everyone had come, it was time to tell your game plan. Yes, your game plan. Twilight wanted you to announce the curfew, as well as how you are going to deal with the creature, which you dubbed "The Ghost."

"Alright," Twilight began. "It's time. Are you ready?" you two were in the castle, while everyone else was waiting outside in front of the makeshift stage Twilight set up.

"As ready as I'll ever be." you were confident about this. You had spoken in front of people before. Besides, you had an hour to prepare.

"Okay, go now." Twilight motioned you out of the door. What was outside of the door made your jaw drop.

There were hundreds of people, er... Ponies. They were all staring at you a bunch of ducklings staring at its mother. You've never talked in front of this many of anything before. To add salt on the wound, staring at you in the back was Celestia and Luna themselves.

"Nope." you whispered as you scampered into the castle like a frightened dog.

"What are you doing?" Twilight annoyingly asked.

"There's too many... Can't... Do it..."

"Yeah you can, just... Think of something calming." you thought for a second, until you heard the familiar snorting of Sparky somewhere in the room. You searched for a few seconds, until you found him making a nest in a potted plant. How he got in there was beyond you, but he was enough to calm you down. You grabbed him in your arms and began to walk outside.

"I'm good now." you told Twilight, who was staring at the now destroyed plant.

You walked back on the stage, now more confident than ever. Then, you began to talk.

"Alright, as you all know, something took my dinosaurs, and I am not a happy camper. I don't know what in the heck that thing was, but it was nocturnal, which means it is around at night. Another thing to note, this thing is big enough to take down a full grown Pachycephalosaurus, which means it's big enough to take down a full grown pony." Everyone in the crowd, except the princesses, began to freak out. This was not what you expected. People were screaming WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!, mares were holding their fillies, it was chaos.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! JESUS CHRIST, CALM YOURSELVES!" you screamed at the top of your lungs. Everyone stopped freaking out and looked back up at you.

"Thank you. Now, as I was saying, we will be creating a temporary curfew. Each and every one of you needs to be in your houses before the sun sets. This curfew will be in motion until this creature is taken care of. If another night creature pops up out of nowhere, the curfew will be brought back into play. Now, how I will take care of these "ghosts" is none of your businesses. Usually, things don't go so well for them." everyone, even the princesses gave you a what the fuck look.

Uh... Anyways, any questions?" No one raised a hoof for a few seconds, until a mare raised hers.

"Yes, you?" you pointed to the mare.

"Why can't we just stop the moon from rising?" everyone began to talk in unison. You hesitated for a second, before beginning to laugh.

"That is the most," you stopped for a second to laugh. "That's the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a while."

"Why?" she asked.

"Well, in case you haven't been paying attention in science class, the moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. It's physically impossible. Unless a powerful being can do that, I don't think..." suddenly, Twilight Sparkle teleported onto the stage and gave you a note. She instantly teleported back into the castle. You began to read the note.

"Luna and Celestia..." you read the last sentence to yourself. You were in awe at what you read. "Wait, WHAT? So those two," you pointed to the princesses, who both looked very annoyed. "THEY control the sun and moon? Well, mistake on my part. Anyways, to answer your question, no, they can't. Luna would be out of a job, and all of you wouldn't be able to sleep. Any other questions?" there weren't anymore.

"Okay, I guess that's all I have to say. The meeting is officially over." you walked back into the castle as the crowd began to disperse.

The crystal doors shut behind you. "Why the hell do they control the sun and moon?" you asked Twilight.

"Well, over 1,000 years ago..."

"That was a rhetorical question! But seriously, I need to get ready to go hunting for these things."

"Fine, be careful, don't die."

"I won't, trust me."

You were back at base. It was getting darker. The cover of night was perfect. Whatever it was, it would probably be in that forest. You were suiting up with some epic riot armor, night-vision goggles, and a sexy new assault rifle.You truly looked like a Spec Ops soldier, which was what you're going for. You walked outside and turned on the night-vision, the extreme dark turning into black and white vision. It was surprisingly easy to see in black in white. Sparky snorted at you, which was a sign that he wanted to be loved, so you gave him a belly rub in return. You walked outside and continued to the ladder and climbed it down. Once you were down, you walked to the forest edge. You stared into the darkness, knowing that the creature was doubtfully in there. You took a deep breath in and let out an exhale as you walked into the forest. You had a feeling that this was a bad idea, but you had to take a risk. Besides, lots of carnivores hunt at night before they go to sleep, it didn't mean this creature was nocturnal.

It was like going in there any other time, except, well, it's dark. It was even hard to see through the goggles. The crickets chirped as you walked through the bushes and onto what seemed to be a game trail. You began to follow the trail deeper into the forest. Suddenly, your foot slipped and you fell right on your ass. You got up and stared down at what tripped you. A puddle.

Wait a second... you analyzed the puddle once more. To your surprise, it wasn't a puddle at all. In fact, it was a footprint. You examined the print for a minute. It was definitely a therapod, it seemed to be slightly smaller than a Carno, and it was obviously walking deeper into the forest. You followed the prints for a bit.

The trail was getting harder to follow. The tracks seemed to get further apart, almost like the creature was running. In the corner of the goggles, you saw a pool of liquid. You walked over and crouched down next to it. You couldn't tell what it was through the night-vision, so you took them off and grabbed your flashlight, shining it towards the liquid. The liquid shimmered on impact with the light, revealing the dark red liquid that covered the ground and plants near the splotch.

"I knew it. Blood." you whispered to yourself. You scanned around to find the blood trail. You finally found it, as well as the footprints from the prey. They were quadrupedal, and they seemed to be from a Trike of a Stegosaurus. The trail was heading into the deep forest. You noticed that along the sides of the trail, there was the same tracks you were following, but instead of one pair, there was another pair following close behind.

"Shit, the ghost has a mate." you speculated, since most carnivores, except for Allosaurus, didn't hunt in packs unless they were mates, and these tracks were too small to be an Allo. You grabbed the assault rifle, put the goggles back on your face, and continued following the trail.

A few minutes passed by. The amount of blood had increased, but the tracks didn't. If anything, the tracks went from a trot to a faster run. You looked up from the tracks to see what you were looking for: the body. After a few minutes of walking, you could make out the silhouette of something in the distance. You walked up to get a closer look. It was the corpse.

It was definitely a Stego, but it seemed... Different. It was smaller, and its face, which was decapitated and lying a few feet away, actually looked like a Stegosaurus from Earth. You circled it, to further examine it. It had spikes on its shoulders and on its back. It wasn't a Stego, it was a Kentrosaurus, one of the strongest herbivores on the island. It was strange seeing this creatures' corpse. Even a T-Rex can't win a fight against one of them. You guessed that it lost because of the night. The area surrounding the body was bloodier than Hell. Upon closer inspection, you found that the Kentro's body was covered with claw marks, all bloodied and beginning to clot, which meant that it was recently killed. This put you on high alert, because the ghosts might still be around. Its stomach was completely torn open, revealing its half eaten organs. One of the shoulder spikes was ripped strait off, and where the spike was was a huge chunk of missing meat. There was a bite mark on its rear right leg. The teeth mark were deep and the meat was almost off the bone. You've seen that bite mark before, and you never wanted to see it again. Not since the incident on the Island. Your eyes widened, for only one creature could make that bite...

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" you were in panic mode. You made sure your gun had enough rounds. The gun was good on ammo. You pointed the gun towards the forest.

Nash, you fucked yourself over. you thought, knowing that you followed two of those creatures the whole night into the middle of he Everfree. Suddenly, you heard something big walking to your left. You hesitated to find cover for a second. You looked in the direction of some bushes, and dove into them.

You poked your head out of the bush. In the shadows of the forest, you saw two silhouettes emerge from the trees. You knew very well what they were: Megalosaurus.. They were a bit smaller than a Carno, but looked twice as fierce. One was bigger than the other. The female. It was bland in color, being tan everywhere except the feathers on its back and neck, which were the same color. The male was a lot more vibrant, being tan, but with blotches of red. Its feathers were a salmon color.

"I'm so fucked."

The male walked up to the body and began eating it. Mounds of flesh were being ripped from the corpse as the male bit into the Kentro. The female soon joined in on the feast. Obviously, when they killed the Kentrosaurus, they ate until they were full, and possibly left to feed their young. They would have then digested the meat, and then that's why they were back; to finish their breakfast.

Suddenly, the bushes rustled behind you.

"Damn, that's nasty." a familiar voice said next to you. You swiftly turned your head to see the source of the voice. It was, unsurprisingly, Rainbow Dash. She was wearing, what seemed to be night-vision goggles meant for ponies. You were a bit confused for a second, but then realized Pinkie probably gave them to her.

"What are you doing here?" you whisper yelled, like Flutters.

"I'm just here to see the action. Hey, nice suit."

"Shh... Be quiet!" you said. She clearly didn't care about her voice level. "We need to get out of here NOW."

"Why?" she asked.

"These things are extremely..." a growl came from above your heads. In unison, you both slowly looked up. Both Megalos' were staring right down at you two.

"... Dangerous. I told you we had to be quiet!"

"Aw shit... My bad."

"Never underestimate the power of volume. It can be a real fucking cunt sometimes." the growling became louder, and they were becoming impatient.

"We should run now." you suggested.

"That's probably a good idea."

"Okay," you began the countdown. "3... 2... 1... RUN!" you both exploded out of the bushes and ran towards the forest edge. RD began to take off into the air.

"NO FAIR!" You shouted. The Megalos' ignored Rainbow Dash and began to chase you. Megalosaurus is a significantly faster creature than a human at night, so you had to rely on your agility. You bobbed and weaved through the dense forest, jumping over obstacles and diving under logs. The dinosaurs weren't that close, but they were slowly gaining up to you. They dodged trees and plowed through obstacles like nothing. Their screeches were terrifying as they pursued you. You were beginning to get tired, but before you stopped, you saw the edge of the forest.

Before you knew it, you were out of the forest. You ran another 30 feet, then halted to a stop to catch your breath. You had a good 45 to 50 seconds to think of a plan. Soon enough you had a plan. You swiftly took your backpack off and began rummaging through it as fast as you can. Rainbow Dash landed right next to you.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I have a plan..." you responded. A few seconds later, you pulled a flare gun out of your backpack. You plopped the backpack back on your back. You got the gun ready as the faint sounds of the Megalosaurus's echoed from the forest.

"How's that going to help?" Rainbow pointed to the gun.

"It's a tactic we used on the island," you began. "I can't go into all the details right now, but it'll hopefully work."

"Hopefully?!" her voice cracked.

"Just trust me." you reassured her. Suddenly, the two dinosaurs ran out of the forest towards the two of you. They were getting closer and closer. You aimed the flare gun into the air, your finger on the trigger ready to fire. RD was getting scared, you could tell. She was leaning up against you for support.

"FIRE THE DAMN THING!" Rainbow Dash screamed as the Megalos' were at least ten feet in front of you.

Without hesitation, you shot the flare into the air. The dinosaurs halted to a stop as the flare launched into the air. A few seconds later, the flare exploded into a blinding yellow light. The Megalosaurus's screeched as the sudden light blinded them, scaring them. As the light increased in brightness, they screeches became louder and louder. They swiftly backed up and ran back into the forest. You both sighed in relief as they retreated.

"Holy shit, it actually worked!" you said. No one actually tried this tactic on the island, they only speculated that it would scare off a Megalosaurus. Flares are valuable. People would rather kill them then waste their precious flares.

"We should probably leave before they come back." Rainbow Dash recommended.

"That's probably a good idea."

The next day, you lay in your bed, still asleep. The night before obviously had tired you out, so sleeping in wasn't strange. But your long slumber suddenly stopped as the front door slammed open. You heart skipped a beat as you flung yourself from your bed, falling face first on the floor.

"What are you doing?" you asked.

"No, what are YOU doing in bed still?" Twilight Sparkle asked. She sounded oddly distressed.

"What do you mean? I chased off two angry dinosaurs. I'm tired!"

"You clearly are! I've been knocking on the door for an hour!"

"Why do you need me that bad?" you asked. You were getting a bit worried. You had a bit of a hunch about why she was so eager to get you.

"Get dressed, then meet me at the center of Ponyville."

"Why Sugar Cu..." you began, but before you could finish...

"JUST GO!" she screamed. This wasn't like how she acted normally. She was the Princess of Friendship after all. And from the looks of it, she wasn't living up to her name.

"Fine." you mumbled.

You were rushed out of the base faster than a Gallimimus. You stumbled to the ladder, but before you could begin the descend, a purple aura surrounded you. You were then lifted up into the air. The next thing you knew, you were being hovered over the edge of the platform. As fast as you were engulfed in the magic, the purple aura disappeared, casuing you to fall to what you thought was your death . You closed your eyes and began to scream as the ground got closer and closer, until...

The same purple aura surrounded you before you hit the ground, stopping the fall instantly. You opened your eyes, relieved you had survived. You looked to your left to see Twilight Sparkle, her horn glowing purple, staring at you with the most pissed off expression you've ever seen a pony do.

"What?" you asked, genuinely wondering what her problem was.

"Nothing... Just go. I'll meet you there." the purple aura once again disappeared, dropping you to the ground. The purple pony disappeared to thin air, leaving you all alone, except for Larry. You got up from the ground, brushing any excess dirt off of you. You then proceeded to walk to Ponyville.

After a minutes worth of walking, you were at the center of Ponyville. You were met with not only Twilight Sparkle, but from the whole town. You began to walk faster, your suspicion and concern of the situation growing.

You walked up Twilight, having to push through the massive crowd to get through.

"Twi, can you finally tell me what... happened." your concern spiked as you saw why she pulled you out of bed. One of the houses was completely destroyed. It seemed something... Scratch that, you knew exactly what did it, rammed through the front of the house.

"Why didn't you get rid of the treat?" Twilight began. "You said you would eliminate them, why didn't you do it?"

"I'm sorry, it's just... Rainbow sneaked up on me and completely blew my cover. We had to run away. We finally scared them off before they got us."

"Well, why didn't you shoot them?" she asked.

"I didn't think about it. I only thought to run. My gun wouldn't have killed them fast enough."

"Well, I want them dead by tomorrow!" you have never seen Twilight Sparkle so furious before now.

"Yes ma'am. While I'm here, I'm going to investigate the house."

"Be my guest." she replied.

And so you walked over to the collapsed house. Before waling in, you examined the damage to the external part of the house. The whole front face of the house was absolutely destroyed. Nothing more, nothing less. You proceeded to walk into the ruined house to look for... Nothing. You just wanted to snoop around. Not only a few feet in the rubble did you find something so terrifying.

"Uh, Twilight, you have to see this." you shouted from inside. The purple pony teleported next to you in response.

"What do you want Nash?" she asked, in a drastically calmer voice.

"Look." you pointed in the direction of a pool of blood, and right next to it, a severed leg.

"Oh Celestia..." it looked like Sparkle was about to throw up, which you were to expect.

"I'm not waiting for the night to come, I'm killing them now. I'll see you when they're dead." you walked out of the rubble, the whole crowd of ponies was staring at you.

"Go home, there's nothing to see here." you ushered them away from the scene As soon as that was done, you began to walk back home.

Author's Note

Finally, after months and months of waiting, I finally made the next chapter. It feels like forever, and I apologize. I've been brain storming a lot, and I mean A LOT about this chapter. I did plan about doing a Megalosaurus chapter back in August, but I didn't know how to do it. But, two months later, I managed to squeeze it out. Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter, and may the force be with you.

PART 2 COMING SOON

P.S

Also, as of the release of this chapter, four days from now is my birthday, and My Little Pony's birthday .
