It was a very dark and stormy night in Ponyville, the torm was pouring the rain down so hard that nopony could go outside, not even the street vendors.

In the giant castle Twilight owns, the elements of harmony were all sitting on their beds in Twilight's bedroom, season 5 episode 13 if you need to see it.

Now Starlight Glimmer decided she needed some time for herself, so she went off to hang out with some other ponies for the night. Spike was out babysitting the CMC in the club house.

The room was nicely lit, a couple dark corners, but you could see the rest with ease. Twilight asked.

"So Applejack, how was the hofficure with Rarity?"

"It was relaxin ta say the least, ah needed that aftar a hard days work."

(I typed it like that because of her accent)

Rarity replied, "I agree with her, I had to finish 3 orders of clothes that morning and I got Sweetie belle to send them out for me."

"That sounds very good. Fluttershy, I heard that a few of your birds had babies, is that true?"

"Oh yes, they were so adorable, and I could tell the parents were very happy as well."

"So do they have names?"

Rainbow Dash replied, "Okay this conversation is getting very boring."

"I agree." Said Pinkie, "As cute as baby birds are, let's talk about something else."

Rainbow replied, "Well I heard of a small, but very creepy tale about the pony of the shadows."

"Rainbow, those tales aren't real."

"Even if this one isn't, it's still very creepy and it should turn this slumber party from a 2 to a 10."

"Alright, let's hear it." Said Twilight rolling her eyes in a joking fashion.

"Well it starts out 500 moons ago, in a small pond about 20 something minutes from Ponyville was a slightly deformed pony, he very ugly, I mean he could clear a room with ease just by showing his face.

Now that night he whispered into the water to make all the other ponies to stop bullying him. Right behind him came 4 older stallions who were the bullies he wished to stop bullying him.

They all ganged up on him and he drowned.

Exactly one week after all of those bullies were dead, the autopsy said they died from drowning. But the weird part is that they were on land. Anypony who knew the story and told it on a night like this one, died."

Fluttershy was a bit shaky, Pinkie was munching on some popcorn and staring at Rainbow as she talked. The rest on the other hoof waved it off as just a story.

After Rainbow finished Rarity replied, "Darling that was a great story, though I highly doubt that, it ever happened, we would of heard of it."

"I don't think I've heard of it before strangely, I've read all the good myths, stories, and tall tales. At least now I know one more now."

"Ah agree, tha story was still pretty scary."

Fluttershy quietly said, "That was really scary. I hope that thing doesn't come here."

Twilight replied, "Relax Fluttershy, nothing like that is gonna happen tonight." Rainbow Dash looked down and asked.

"Um Twilight?"

"Ya Rainbow?"

"Is your floor supposed to have purple gas covering it?"

"What?" Twilight looked down, there was purple smoke covering the floor all the way to they're hoofs. All Twilight could say was, "I shouldn't have jinxed us, not in Ponyville at least."

Next there was a blinding green light that made everypony shut their eyes. When they opened their eyes they looked around only to find their wings and or horns gone, all of them were earth ponies.

Rainbow shouted, "What the?!"

Suddenly in front of them the purple smoke started to rise and transform into a stallion about the size of Celestia, maybe bigger, but the weirdest thing is that he was that the stallion was made completely made of blood stained bones. He also glowed a bright green.

(Sorry to whoever owns this OC, this is not him and I have never heard of yours before. Again, sorry but everything else dark and creepy has been snatched up.)

He loomed over our favorite ponies with a long and bloody smile that made everypony shiver.

He asked in a dark and very haunting voice, "Who told my story?"

Pinkie replied, "Rainbow, she did it wonderfully." Everypony looked at her with a really face, "What? It's true."

"ENOUGH!" Shouted the tall spirit. "Now then, I am here to take one of you, the rest may go. Now each of you will tell me your darkest moments, now how I'll judge them is by how much they affect me, the pony with the least saddening story will die, the rest shall leave unharmed."

Applejack asked, "And why shouldn't we take you down right here right now?"

"Because all your special abilities have been removed, magic, wings, and even strength are gone. While I have more power than Celestia herself.

Now I think I'll start out with the new princess, Twilight, what is your darkest memory."

She sighs, "Can I speak with my friends first?"

"Sure, nothing you all can do will affect me." They huddled into a circle.

Rarity, "What are we gonna do, we don't have the elements nor do we have any kind of magic."

Rainbow, "We gotta fight him, try to get our wings and horns back."

Twilight, "That would be a very bad idea, from what I've seen it might be best to just go with him until we can come up with a plan."

They all sighed and nodded. They turned around and faced the ghost.

"Alright, we'll play your little game, for now." Said Twilight.

"Alright, remember, I can tell if it's really your darkest moment."

"Sigh. It was way back when I was a teenager, roughly 16, I was coming back from a late night of studying in the library. When few bullies from another, far rougher school. They came up to me, and they surrounded me.

I asked them to move out of the way, but they didn't budge, their leader walked up to me and he cast a spell on me that stopped any magic I had. To this day I don't know where he learned that spell."

"Keep going." Said the ghost.

"All the bullies pinned me to an alleyway wall while they're leader.... raped me."

"That's all I need to hear about that, I prefer not to hear the details on rape."

"Well 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. And instead of having the child my parents forced me to get an abortion, I regret making that decision every day, every time I see a mother and a filly I cry a bit because I missed out on that." She fell on the floor sobbing, the rest of her friends just stared in shock.

"That was a very dark memory, I feel a bit of pity for you, not bad."

"Not bad?! That's all you can say about me getting raped and an abortion?!"

"Yes, trust me, there are some stories I've heard that you don't wanna know about. Miss Applejack it's your turn."

"Sigh, do ah have to?"

"If you don't wanna die right here, right now."

"Fine, I think it was way back in mah teen years, ah used to be a lesbo."

Twilight asked, "You were a lesbian?"

"Ya, but the apple family wouldn't have any of that, so they put me into a program or somethin tha would turn me straight.

It involved a lot of shock therapy, rape, and every night, all night, I would hear the screams and shouts of every other pony there, it was horrible."

(Now she was starting to cry)

"Ah just felt a differant kind of love, they didn't need ta do that. Why would they?!" Rainbow Dash wrapped her wing around her in a hug.

"That was interesting, well that's one kind of story I haven't heard before, even though I might kill you I don't have any hard nor personal hatred for those who like the same gender."

"Thanks, ah think?"

"Rainbow Dash, it's your turn."

"No, I will not!"

"Fine, then you shall die right now."

"For my friends, sure, I won't let you bully us like this!"

"Fine." His horn glowed as she was chained to the back wall, she struggled a bit, until a big bone saw about her size levitated right to her face. "Oh didn't I tell you all, it would be a VERY slow death, now do you wanna talk?"

Rarity shouted, "Rainbow just tell him, none of us want you to die!"

"Ergh, fine, I'll tell you." He removed her chains and the bone saw disappeared. She floated back to her chair as she closed her eyes.

"It starts way back, back when I was a filly, my mother was very sick with a type 4 cancer, it was incurable. She was lying on her deathbed, it was just my father and me, we needed to say our goodbyes before she passed.

I was holding her hoof, I was in tears while she tried to calm me down, she said something that even today I take to heart, fly as fast as you can, never slow down or look back. The last words I heard out of her was, I love you my beautiful rainbow. She closed her eyes and she died.

The doctors tried to revive her, b-but they couldn't do-o it." She was trying to hold back the tears, but her eyes couldn't take it anymore as she balled.

"To this day I cry when I think about that moment."

"I've heard many of those stories before, but every time I hear them I shed one tear, my parents died from cancer too. But now it's time to hear miss Fluttershy."

"Me? Why me?" Asked Fluttershy

"Because I randomly choose, got a problem with that?"

"No! no, I don't have a problem with that. I'm sorry I'll tell it, just please don't hurt me."

The ghost lowered himself to her level and said, "Nothing will happen to you until I hear all these pony's stories."

"Alright, it was a couple days ago that it happened. I was just walking down my little walkway, when I accidentally stepped on a bug, all I heard was a little phew, and it was dead. I killed it." She was starting to cry.

The ghost replied, "That's not much, but I can see your spirit is very pure, the purist I have ever seen, so you have that going for you."

Fluttershy stepped back a bit and replied, "Um, thanks?"

"Alright Pinkie Pie, what is yours?"

"Actually I don't have any bad memories, my childhood was so wonderful."

"Okay then, not what I expected, but I need to hear something terrible, maybe the worst thing you've done?"

"Oh I can't even count, but probably the time I accidentally brought a blackhole to the human world killing they're entire race, but I did get the frosting I was looking for. Or the time I murdered a bunch ponies and put their blood into cupcake batter. Ironically I won a medal for best cupcake batter that year."

Everypony in that room was starting to get sick so the spirit formed a couple of trashcans infront of each of them. He waited a minute for everypony to stop throwing up.

"What the fuck?! I think I've picked the pony who I'd like to take to tarterus with me."

"Oh thank you." Said Pinkie.

"That wasn't a complement, miss Rarity, could you please tell a story that doesn't have... well anything Pinkie Pie said?"

"Ulgh, just let me finish throwing up plea- HULEGH!!" She started to throw up again.

"Alright, I'll wait."

Twilight asked him, "Why are you doing this to us?"

"It's my curse, every time my story is told I have to kill one pony in the group, unless I do I go to tarterus."

"Oh, I'm glad it's not personal though."

"Ya me too, sorry for this."

Rarity lifted her head up and said, "Well my story was way- oh hold on..................... Ya I'm done throwing up, so this story was way back when I was a teenager, it was a late night and the moon was full.

I was with a couple of stallions a bit older than I was. Now back then I was well, a lot more loose with my body to other ponies, so they knew we would of had some fun that night.

Anyway, while we were on the way to my parent's house we got to talking. I was talking about how the rest of the ponies looked so cheap while we were so fabulous.

He was about to say something, but an arrow shot right through his head. The other stallion ran as fast as he could, while I just stood there motionless and in a state of panic.

Out of the thickness came a much larger stallion who looked down at me with dark, soulless dead eyes, I barely squeaked before he knocked me out with a large club.

The next day I woke up, but I couldn't see, he took my eyes and left me in a ditch hoping I would die. A couple ponies found me and after a month I had eye surgery, instead of my usual green eyes, the donor had blue eyes. The eyes you all know.

But for that whole month I was scared, I couldn't see anything, I was very vulnerable. Everyday I would wish I could see again. Some days my eyes don't even work keeping me blind, I'm always scared I will become blind again."

The ghost looked into her eyes and replied, "I'm so sorry that happened, it wasn't that bad, I could see how much that hurt you."

She looked at him with an angry face, "What do you mean see?"

"That was an accident, sorry, I chose my words poorly."

"Well since you're gonna kill one of us I think I can let it slide."

"Now which one shall I end, all of them felt deep....... I think I know he pony who I will be killing tonight." His horned glowed a bright green with a black outline.

It shown so brightly everypony had to close they're eyes. Once the light turned normal again they opened they're eyes and looked around to see which pony got it.

Surprisingly nopony was harmed, but the ghost was being held up by Discord, he was choking the spirit to death, again. Discord told him.

"You give my friends back they're wings and horns and you won't get a new asshole today, got it?"

"Yes," his horned glowed blue and everypony got they're appendages back.

"Now leave here and never come back to this plane of existence you son of a poltergeist!"

"Alight, I'll go."

"Here, I'll help." Discord snapped his fingers as a giant boot appeared right behind the ghost.

"Oh no, this will hurt." The boot swung back as the ghost clenched for dear afterlife. The boot hit him right in the ass sending through Twilight's ceiling and into space.

"Are you all alright? Did he hurt you Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy replied, "Um, no, he just asked us about our darkest moments."

Twilight added, "It made all of us feel the pain of that memory, I mean I felt the same pain as if it just happened."

"Twilight, that is very common with spirits of that type."

Rarity asked, "Of what kind."

"The jerk kind." They chuckled a bit, "I's okay, I'll stay here for a bit, I know this was probably tramatic, I get it, so I'll stay here and try to give you all shoulders to cry on." He extended his arms and popped a couple extra shoulders which each of the mane 6 gladly cried on, except for Pinkie.

That went on for the whole night, well at least until they cried themselves to sleep that is.

When they were all asleep Discord teleported out of the castle and into a very dark alleyway, he looked at a watch he had on, "He should be here by now." Said Discord.

Right behind Discord the ghost appeared, he said, "Ulgh, next time don't kick me that hard."

"Sorry, but I had to make it look convincing."

"Ya ya, anyway I hope that info will help you if you choose to become evil again, I highly recommend it."

"Ha ha, sorry, this is just insurance. Now did you really turn into a ghost?"

"Oh no, I'm still a demon. Oh since college I became a torturer on the third ring of Tartarus."

"Only the third ring, back in the frat you said you'd be in the seventh."

"Well, once I got to ring three I just fell in love, I even raised a family on it."

"Oh ya, I almost forgot about them, how's Helen?"

"She's Hell-enish." Discord just looked at him with a really face. "Sorry."

"How's your son?"

"Great actually, he's the head torturer in the seventh ring, he basically leads the worst of the worst, I'm so proud of him."

"Nice."

"Thanks, say maybe you should come over to my house next week, Helen loves seeing you, you always know how to make us laugh. Plus if you bring a cake which I beg you to do, she won't be able to stop me from eating it."

"Why would she stop you?"

"She has me on a diet, she want's me to live until I'm like 3000 years old, I'm about your age, I got time regardless of how I eat."

"Alright, I'll bring a cake."

"Thank you so much bro, I really gotta get back down there, my shift starts in like 30 minutes. So ya next week works for you?"

"Yep, I'll be looking forward to it Elron."

Elron replied, "Sweet, bye." A glowing red pentagram formed under Elron as he was sucked into it and down to Tartarus. Once he was gone Discord said.

"A great way to manipulate those ponies and a free dinner, I truly am lucky." Discord walked off into the darkness of the night, and nopony ever knew that the whole thing was staged.

All of the mane 6 stayed together, though they don't eat very many things Pinkie bakes. Nopony ever knew that, that night ever happened, it was just a sleepover, but you all know it was FAR more than that.
