A Superb Case of Evil
What keeps me Here?
Previous ChapterThere it was again, the voice, or should we say voices. They were speaking in tandem now. It was enough to overwhelm Twilight's nerves. But was more of a shock was the way this thing was staring at her now. It was hard for the Princess of Friendship to come to grips with the idea that there were things out there worse then Sombra, Nightmare Moon, or even " Amon". What Twilight didnt realize right away was that there was another presence in here with them.
This creature started to close in on its prey, even as a familiar presence started to make itself known.
The grin on Pinkamena's face began to widen in an unnatural line across her face. Twilight felt like was she was being restrained by the forces now occupying her mind. Forces that were beyond her control. This mockery of Pinkie continued to creep towards her with that sickening smile on her face. There was no way of getting out of this Twilight thought. That was until she heard a voice. A voice that was all too familiar.
Princess Luna.
"Begone thy demon,", the Princess shouted towards the abomination.
"This isn't over,", It spat out in a distorted tone that further mocked Pinkie's voice.
"Princess, is that really you?", Twilight said, wondering if this still part of some trick of the mind.
"Yes, dear Twilight, it is me."Luna answered.
"What's happening to me, Luna?", Twilight was to say the least, both relieved and scared at what was going on within her own mind as of right now.
"You have been in the hospital since the end of the Tribunal Twilight," Luna reassured the alicorn,"everything that happened with Amon was nothing more then a false memory that was created after you suffered a magic surge, one that nearly tore apart the fabric of reality as we know it."
Know that she thought about it, she recalled seeing something that frightened her to no end. She swore she could see a winged humanoid verion of herself with obsidian black wings laughing maniacally. She couldn't recall anything else at the moment.
"I killed.. them Luna, so many ponies that trusted me... and i killed.. them.."Luna could see the guilt in Twilight's eyes as she said this.
"But you didn't,", Luna said as she lifted Twilight's head to meet her eyes.
"what?", Twilight felt confused at hearing that.
"My sister and I believe that you were tricked into doing those things by another pony," Luna had a hint of resolution in her voice.
"Who?", Twilight asked. She couldnt believe what Luna had said, but the more she thought about, the more the Princess made sense in a manner of speaking.
"Her name is Pinkamena," Luna spoke, disgust present in her voice," She is a split personality of your friend Pinkie Pie." Even though this was the dream realm, she could see the color leave Twilight's face. She had seen this side of Pinkie before, when the mare had thought her friends were trying to disown her. Pinkie's mane had deflated and gone straight. And she had an almost murderous look as described by Rainbow when she went to go collect Pinkie for her birthday party.
" What's more," Luna began," my sister and I fear that a cult may have formed in Ponyville that worships her as a God,", Luna was extremely serious when she said this. The look in her eyes was enough to kill a pony ten times over. Twilight had been unaware of anything that ever occurring in the past. Short of the Nightmare Cult that had rooted out by Princess Celestia over two decades ago. According to a history that she had done a report on.
"I fear for what may happen if she tries to take control of either you or Pinkie again,", There was still that dead set honesty ringing through out Luna's voice as she kept speaking. It was enough to unnerve Twilight, even if she was still in the dream world.
Twilight wasnt sure what to think at that moment. Even though what Luna was telling her was true, she still dreaded it. She didnt like becoming somepony or more over something's pawn, and worse she was stuck here in this realm, with no way to help Pinkie if Pinkamena tried to take over the party pony's mind again.
