The Dark Moon Mirror
Chapter 1: Through the Dark Moon
Previous ChapterNext ChapterToday in Equestria started as any other for most ponies. Fluttershy tended to her animals, Rainbow Dash was sleeping in a tree midday after busting all the clouds in ponyville herself, Rarity was in the middle of picking matching colors for a set of suits as a wedding request, Applejack was knee deep in apple tree branches pruning the trees of her family farm, and Pinkie Pie was trying to find what was missing in her cream puff. “Not crunchy enough, too sweet? I dunno maybe it needs . . .” Pinkie muttered to herself.
Twilight Sparkle on the other hand was deep in the catacombs of the castle of the Royal Pony Sisters with Spike. “Whoa, we’ve never been down here before,” Spike said curiously with a sense of terror.
“I know, there’s always something new to learn about this place,” Twilight said excitedly ignorant of any danger. Together they came across a dead end, “What, why would a long corridor lead to a wall?” Twilight asked.
“Who knows, maybe it’s just another joke Princess Celestia built into the castle?” Spike asked hopefully. Twilight furrowed her brow examining the wall until closed her eyes and in the absolute silence she heard it. Air escaping through one of the bricks. She pressed her hoof against the brick and it sunk into the wall causing the wall to part in the middle and slowly open. Twilight clapped her hooves together victoriously and trotted into the room lighting up the nearby torches. “Wow, this room looks like it hasn’t seen fresh air since the castle was built,” Twilight said.
“Uhh, maybe that was for a reason?” Spike asked again.
“Wait I see something,” Twilight said moving to corner. She approached her suspicion and was proven right. “A mirror, and I’m guessing like the one back home it’s no ordinary mirror,” she said. She slowly reached her hoof out to the reflection-clink-the sound of her hoof hitting the glass echoed anticlimactically through the chamber. “Must still be inactive. Still there’s something strange about the mirror’s dimensions. Come on let’s bring it home for further study.”
Twilight Sparkle carried the large ornate mirror away for study, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” Spike whimpered.
After bringing the mirror back to her castle in Ponyville Twilight performed an endless series of tests on it trying to bring it to life. She even put it in the place of the CHS mirror, but nothing happened.
“It must lead to another dimension entirely, the mirror we typically use only opens every thirty full moon cycles that’s about . . . two years give or take a few months for blue moons. Assuming this mirror works in the same way it may just open up one full moon,” Twilight said writing down her thoughts. Her eyes were starting to droop and she was getting a little tired of nothing happening with her new mirror. She sighed and sat in her throne sipping her tea. Spike walked in having just finished the dishes, “That was fast,” Twilight said.
“Eh, there wasn’t much to do. It was just us the last few weeks with you obsessing over that mirror,” Spike said picking up a comic.
“I have not been obsessing over the mirror,” Twilight said defensively. Spike peered out from under the pages, “Seriously, you cooped yourself away in here for weeks when we found the mirror and at least a few hours a day for the last six months. I’m starting to think that thing is a lost cause,” Spike said.
“Well maybe you’re right about me needing to get out more, but I refuse to believe that this mirror is a lost cause just because I can’t figure it out, give me some more time you’ll see.”
“It’s a lost cause,” Twilight said a year and a half later. By now the CHS mirror had activated and deactivated all on it’s own the old fashioned way. “The mirror doesn’t seem to respond to full moon cycles at all, it’s been about two years since I found it and nothing. Huh, maybe it was just a prank on Luna like Spike suggested when I we found it,” Twilight said defeated. It just didn’t make sense, someone clearly went to a lot of trouble to make this mirror extremely difficult to find, why would all of that be for a prank?
“Well whatever the reason it’s a moonless night without a cloud in the sky, so Princess Luna must have raised a new moon and WAA!” Twilight shrieked when the mirror vibrated to life. For a moment of curiosity as she had done countless times Twilight Peeped her eye through the mirror only this time instead of colliding with it a portion of her head actually went through. She saw a desolate empty room that looked like it would have typically been filled with life, but it was the middle of the night and the only sign of life was a human man using some sort of sweeping machine on the floor. Twilight pulled her head back. “The mirror works, I’m going to guess that it works as long as the new moon is present. I will perform a more extensive test on it in the morning with my friends.”
“Sooo it’s another portal?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yes, I’ve already confirmed that it travels to another human world. I will be exploring this world at least a little and I was wondering if anyone wanted to join me this time,” Twilight asked.
“Wouldn’t that be a little dangerous considerin’ there might be more of us there too?” Applejack asked.
“Well last time I went through the Full Moon portal I ran into the human version of myself and nothing overly bad happened. Besides, I don’t plan on us being there for more than a couple of hours,” Twilight said.
Everypony was quiet for a moment, “I’ll admit I’m a little scared. If we all go and there are other versions of ourselves there then so what, but if I go alone and there aren’t then I’m there all alone,” Twilight admitted.
“Oh Twilight, of course we’ll go with you then,” Fluttershy said.
“Indeed, we couldn’t possibly let you explore a new place without some support,” Rarity agreed.
“This. is so. EXCITING!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
“Thank you, Spike send a letter to Princess Celestia explaining where we’re going just in case something happens and we need her help,” Twilight said.
“Will do,” we said writing out a scroll then sending it.
“Alright, let’s go,” Twilight said as they all poised to walk into the portal. The six of them passed through just in time for Spike to receive a letter from Celestia.
“That was fast . . . oh no,” he shuddered. Celestia sent a letter back as fast as she could reading just five words as if to get it there faster. The five words send a dark creeping chill down Spikes back.
DO NOT ENTER THE PORTAL!
Sacramento CA November 15th 2016
Today was the first day of Eric Escaton’s two week vacation from Oroweat. Ever since he moved into his parent’s house he felt obligated to keep a full time high paying job as if to say he could live there even if it weren’t completely paid off. His mother and father-after receiving a healthy inheritance from Eric’s late grandmother-moved into a retirement neighborhood. The kind where you could live in a big house with a community of people in a regular suburb just cut off from the city and the services got more personal as the attendants got older. If it were up to Eric we would spend all his time shaping and sharpening his blades-being a kendo champion. Kendo was a severely underappreciated martial art in America, so becoming it’s national champion wasn’t as hard as when he took fifth place in the Japan International tournament. Now that was a fight. In the ring he was obligated to just the bamboo blades, but he really prefers his own folded steel. His Kendo master taught him how to forge metal particularly folded carbon steel. His prized possession was a tightly forged Odachi folded over so many times it could slice through other steel with ease. This Odachi he forged with My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic playing in the background. A guilty pleasure, but it both relaxed Eric and made him smile. Not that he’d ever tell anyone god only knows what his father would think, but hey who cares.
Eric found himself in an underground blade show in Sacramento California-his hometown-in the sword section. He wore a heavy marine trench coat from his one tour in the marines, a black button up shirt, and black slacks all going with his dark almost black hair though in great contrast to his light sort of tanned skin and green eyes . . . sometimes people asked him if he was mourning someone, but he always replied, “No, at least not yet.”
Even dressed this way somehow he still stuck out among all the . . . well unsavory individuals. Eric passed many booths trying to get him to buy their product. All he wanted was a stupid sharpening wheel. While sharpening his blades was therapeutic most of the time, sometimes it was a hassle. When people send him movie swords, axes, hunting knives or cheap stainless steel blades that were completely blunt from being made in a factory he was always expected to have it sharpened to a razor’s edge. With his metal file, sandpaper and simple stone it took at least that long to get it the way they wanted and many times a grinder just tore it to shreds. Eric was broken out of his daze by angry cheering of all the men in the room.
“Relax ya’ dumbfucks they’s just a little late is all,” a big bearded man said at the stage. The funny thing is a recognized a few bronies in the crowd.
“Come on, half the reason I come here is to get something that ain’t my fat ass wife,” Someone called.
“Oh come on,” Eric muttered under his breath. It was one of those meetings where they called in prostitutes or craigslist girls to have a huge gangbang. That was such an appealing idea, twenty sweaty gross men with their dicks out around seven or eight overly drugged up girls. Now Eric remembered why he stayed away from these. He wondered for a moment why he made such a big deal about coming here. His honda was even in the shop so he had to take the Sprinter van he used for work. Although it looked like the hired whores weren’t making an appearance.
“They’re supposed to be dressed in cosplay,” someone whispered to me excitedly. Eric rolled my eyes and turned away.
“Oh my,” a soft voice said from the front. Eric turned and found six anthropomorphic girls identical to the Mane six from the show.
“Well looks like they’re here, hello little ladies what’s your names?” The man in the front asked.
Now that was low, “Um Hello, we’re from a place called Equestria, I’m Twilight Sparkle and there are my friends: Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie,” Twilight said. It was not the prospect of beautiful women or indulging in a fantasy that kept Eric glued to his spot. The thing is that girl sounded just like the real Twilight Sparkle. Like Tara Strong only somehow stronger more potent. It occurred to him then, where did they come from? One moment they weren’t on the stage and the next they were just there. He spent too long trying to figure that out, Someone on the set took a good long fondle of Fluttershy’s breasts.
She squealed in fright and leapt back, “Oh come on you been paid in advance sugar, no need to be shy,” he said again slipping his hand up her shirt this time. Rainbow Dash didn’t think she threw her foot full force into the man’s chest. For a little thing barely over five feet she sent him flying. Eric noticed Fluttershy and Rainbow had wings that trembled with anger and fear. Twilight and Rarity had horns too. It was quiet for a moment before somebody said, “paid in advance.”
Someone started trying to tear off Rarity’s clothes, “I beg your pardon!” She shouted.
“Get your mits offa her ya pig!” Applejack shouted decking him in the face.
Some men left saying things like, “If wanted to work for tail I would stayed home.” Some would leave nervously not wanting to be a part of the apparent gangrape about to occur.
“Back in the portal!” Twilight shouted. She pressed her hands against the Veritas statue, “It gone, we . . . we’re stuck here,” Twilight muttered miserably. Four of the six were able to fight their way through the crowd, but Fluttershy and Rainbow were stuck behind. Fluttershy was helpless not being a fighter or at least strong like the others and Rainbow Dash was desperately trying to save her. Eric snapped out of it when he saw Pinkie Pie approaching in her underwear. He had to find it, Eric searched his pockets for his keychain.
They were about to pass him, “Stop!” He called.
“Move it pig!” Applejack shouted. He found it holding out a keychain that resembled the six elements of harmony.
They paused, “Follow me, it’s your only chance,” Eric said taking Twilight by the hand.
He dragged them out, “No Dash and Fluttershy!” AppleJack plead.
“You have to trust me, I’ll go back for them as soon as you’re out of sight,” Eric promised. He ran with them to the lot and opened his van letting them get in. “I’ll be right back, stay inside,” He said. Eric put his hood up and ran back inside, he didn’t like that they let him leave with their ‘prepaid girls’. It must have meant that they were fine with Raping his favorite character. Eric sprinted inside and found naked men posing over Fluttershy and worse Rainbow Dash had a dick in her mouth.
Eric saw red, “Fluttershy close your eyes!” he screamed furiously. Once Eric saw her eyes shut he unsheathed the Odachi and walked with a furiously calm purpose into the crowd. The first thing he did was put it through the heart of the man forcing Rainbow to give a blowjob. Blood gushed from his chest causing his dick to soften before he fell dead. Eric turned to Fluttershy and was attacked by desperate naked men so he easily slashed them with his six foot saber. Blood flowed like water as Eric slaughtered countless people. Eric closed his mind as he killed and killed. He decapitated, severed spines, pierces hearts and did anything that those pitiful men deserved. One held a machete to Rainbow’s throat as threat, but before he could speak his peace Eric swiped the weak iron blade in two at the handle and then murdered him as well. Before long Eric was the only living man in the room. All else were either gone or dead. He threw my trench coat over Rainbow Dash and gently pulled Fluttershy’s dress back into place.
“Come on girls, your friends are waiting,” he said. Eric threw Rainbow Dash over his shoulder and tucked Fluttershy into his side, “Eyes still closed Fluttershy?” He asked.
“Mm hm,” she whimpered past a sob. “Dash?” Eric asked.
“I-I dunno, I don’t . . . I can’t.” Damn, of all the places for the mane six to land they had to land there. Why, why would Celestia send them here? Unless she didn’t . . . wait that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that they existed in the first place! Eric reasoned for a moment that they were the whores and it went wrong, but at closer inspection of the two Pegasi Anthro girls he was holding their wings were very real and their pointed Equine ears were too. Eric made it to the van and unlocked the door.
“Whoa nelly, that’s a lot uh blood,” Applejack said out loud what they were all thinking.
Eric gently laid down Rainbow Dash with Applejack, “She’s in shock, I’ll explain later. Right now we need to leave, I’ll take you to my house after that . . . I guess we’ll have to figure out a way to get you all home somehow. God knows this isn’t the place for souls like yourselves,” he said mostly to himself.
“Thank you sir, you didn’t have to do what you did,” Twilight said.
Eric sighed from the driver seat, “Yeah, I kinda did.”
Author's Note
So for future reference Eric isn't meant to resemble Michael at all from my other story's universe. This will be an ongoing thing for quite a while and probably won't be completely finished until the end of Season 6 of MLP:FIM. I just wanted to get it out there. I rated it with Sex, but that's not really going to seriously happen for a while.
