initiation part 1 the incident

“Rarity you're sister's lost it.” thought Twilight. As she watches Rarity faint. (for real for once).

Back with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo & the others.

“Ooh oh I love surprises,” said Pinkie as she bounces circles around the group. As they head to the boutique.Pinkie sense-- ear twitch, knee buckle, eye shudder.

“What was that about Pinkie?” asked Rainbow Dash. Seeing the earth pony fall on her face.

“I don't know I keep getting this new combo” answered Pinkie. getting up As it happens again ear twitch, knee buckle, eye shudder.

Back with, Sweetie Belle.

Sweetie is starting to get a migraine. knowing what this meant she steels herself readying her magic. “Stage one,” she says aloud and changes her magic channel to her forelegs like DISCORD had taught her, he had said never while her hooves weren't on the ground but she’ed long forgotten that part partly because she was only half listening And begins directing her magic to her right hoof.

Back with the others, Pinkie pie gets another combo- pinchy knee, ear flop, twitchy tale . “oh no earthquake!” yells Pinkie in her friend's faces.

Meanwhile in the town square.

Concentrating on the path she wanted her magic to follow and feeling it go there. Sweetie tries something different this time and raises her hoof before stepping discharging the magic build up she was having.

Sweetie watched in fearful confusion as every pony skaters around like there was a mad mare on the loose. She couldn't feel the ground shaking beneath her or notice the circles of druid symbols on the ground around her.(she’s numb) (and the spell doesn't affect the caster as the changes in the gravity root her to the ground as she walks)

1.2 seconds earlier with Rainbow Dash & the twitching pinkie pie.

Pinkie how in Equestria can you tell if there's going to be an...ruumbbbleling-- before the skeptical Dash could finish the prediction instantly became truth. As a 3.1-3.9 magnitude quake struck in the center of pony Ville.

Meanwhile Sweetie unsure of what was going on. continues on her way to the boutique as she weaves through a panicking crowd as they seem to avoid her gaze and distance themselves from her as she was completely oblivious to the heavy hoofprints with cracks around them as she absentmindedly heads over to her sister's place and heads inside.

the symbols following behind like a trained puppy. “Well that was strange,” said Sweetie closing the door behind her. Feeling the headache vanish she slowly stops her release of the build up, not noticing the symbols even as they disappeared.

Earlier in Sweeties saddlebag

Finally snapping back to reality. Twilight uses a spell to wake Rarity and quickly takes two steps back as Rarity shoots up. her hooves up like the karate mare. “!!Iiiieeyaeuhngh(?)” cried Rarity as she takes back control of her reflexes and takes in her surroundings as she remembers what had happened.
“Twilight am I still dreaming or are we really an inch tall put inside a jar in Sweeties saddlebags?” asked Rarity hoping it was just a dream. Not wanting to answer rarity directly Twilight brightens her horn showing her rather than telling her.

“my sister's turned Eviiiil ah ah anhg,” said Rarity starting to sob as she begins to have a nervous breakdown.

“ Rarity we don't know that for sure don't think that way..you're sister's not evil she’s probably just ,confused,?” said Twilight optimistically.

“ Twilight wake up we're the elements of harmony name one good reason she’d have with those books and..mmnng → shrinking us!” said Rarity tears finally streaming as she sobs in fear and worry.

“Well, there's,” Twilight starts to say as Rarity hopes begin to rise.

“Well there's..there's the fact that she’s Sweetie Belle is your sister the sister of the element of generosity,” said Twilight trying to debunk rarity's assumption and cheer her up.

“You're right she’s my sister and I know my sister she would never do anything to harm anyponie or any creature of any kind!.” said Rarity in full-fledged confidence.

“Rarity do you feel that,” asked twilight as she senses the presence of a massive and mounting power. The hair on the back of her neck standing straight up.

“That just can't be ...it just... can't → I've been with her most my whole life and the most I've ever felt was a warm & cheery feeling when she’s right next to me or when she tries to use it” said Rarity sensing an overwhelming and increasing magic signature.that was unmistakably her sister.

“You’ve been around her longer is it really her’s?” asked Twilight as only having felt the unmistakable presence at Twilight time or when she was right next to her. It was normally so weak that unless you were directly next to her or nearby as she used her magic you wouldn't feel it.

“I’d recognize her warm cheery scattered presence anywhere,” said rarity as she and twilight felt the presence spike from a warm cheery scattered mass to a completely overpowering burning delighted and focused continuous wave of harmonious energy. Then it bursts forth. “Ahh” gasped Rarity & Twilight in unison as the energy wave explodes forth and they feel something they've only felt when they wielded their element and was just as strong only more concentrated and point focused.then when they used them.

And as it drives deep into their souls like a sword fresh from the fire. There cutie marks glowed in full vibrant color. “What!.,.how?” said Twilight thoughts racing. 'how-how can a filly use the power of the elements of harmony let alone a purifying spell !' thought Twilight as she watched her flank. And as the light faded she felt Sweetie begin moving again. But still, the burning hot presence was there and didn't seem to be subsiding anytime soon.

At the same time elsewhere.

Pinkie vibrates on the now shaking ground as her cutie mark began to glow in full colors. Next to her Rainbow Dash instinctively hovers a few average pony heights from ground level. Noticing Scootaloo and Apple Bloom fumbling on their hooves she scoops the two up quick as lightning. And see’s Fluttershy in the fetal position.as her cutie mark is glowing. Curious and feeling a strange warmth on her own she realizes hers is as well.

The shaking residing now she waits a minute after it stops completely before setting the two fillies down. “What was that about,” asked Rainbow Dash to no pony in particular.

“That was Sweetie Belle she’s calling us” ‘and the narrator ‘s doing a terrible job at telling this story’ said Pinkie ending in thought- hey! (now of all times Pinkie you break it now)> “well you're the one writing this story”<( if you break the wall or insult me one more time I'm writing you out. am I clear ms. Pie?)> “fine it was a stupid prophi-mmm mmm mm”<(last warning I am the narrator I can make you turn into a cake and have you eat yourself got it no spoilers! )> “fine” said Pinkie Pie being her usual self.

“What are you saying Pinkie... That Sweetie belle’s behind this” Asked Rainbow after her friend stops blabbing to the sky. 'Ok I think the earthquake sealed it she’s officially lost it,' thought Dash.

“Oh, my gosh Sweetie Belle! according to the plan, she’s supposed to be waiting for us at Rarity's!” said Scootaloo.as she grabs her scooter and races towards the boutique.

“Yeah. ah hope she’s alright” said Apple Bloom. As she's running and jumps into the moving wagon like a stunt pony. with Pinkie in pursuit.

Rainbow Dash seeing that Fluttershy was still there moves over half hovering in the case of an aftershock. “Flutters it's over now the girls said that Sweetie might have been inside at Rarity's ”. Said Dash upon hearing this she shoots up.

“!Then what are you waiting for!” yelled the now hard as stone Fluttershy.concern and protective instinct taking hold.

Before Dash had a chance to answer her as only a second later and she had caught up to Scootaloo & Apple Bloom racing alongside them. and a second later Dash was with them as well racing to get to Raritys.

Back at carousel boutique.

Sweetie Belle now in the boutique heads up the stairs.not noticing the condition the place was in. “I wonder when Apple Bloom & Scoots will be back,” said Sweetie as she goes up the steps on her way to her sister's room.

Back with Apple Bloom & Scootaloo.

“So what do think happened” asked Scootaloo.concerned .

“Ah don't know” answers Apple Bloom Worriedly.as the boutique comes into view.

Earlier in canterlot. Discord & Celestia are in the western tower having tea time.

Well Discord I'd have to go over it with my sister if our fight over a thousand years ago did, in fact, switch the day with the night... and I must say if you can truly feel magical disturbances it will help us protect Equestria,” said Celestia a discerning eye on Discord. sipping his tea glass and tossing his tea over his shoulder.

“I for one believe--body wiggle,noodle arms eye pop-- --“Discord! Are you mocking me?!.”said Celestia. Astounded questioning if he, in fact, would dare too.

“No..disturbance..earthquake..magic!” was all the reformed lord of chaos with his eyes bulging out very much like the tom & jerry cartoon got out before Celestia felt distant yet overwhelming and unmistakable presence.

'no?..no she’s just a filly her magic isn't fully matured yet' thought Celestia. As the ground beneath her began to shake.and she and Discord instinctively take to the air. After the ground stopped shaking Celestia moves over to the balcony and sees ponies were scattering every which way as she looks out past the castle gates.

Back with Sweetie Belle present time at the boutique.

"Well, here we go again. I just hope everything works right this time around" thought sweetie aloud as she walks through the open door of her sister's room and heads over to the model of carousel and pulls out the jar with her two captives and a disgruntled dragon in it and places it on the worktable. “Ok now I'll explain what I'm doing you probably noticed the books and yes I'm trying to earn my cutie mark in Necromancy!”said Sweetie confirming Twilight's worst fear.

“What!” Said Rarity her color turning pale.

“Sweetie please think about this you have no idea what forces you plan on delving into.!” said Twilight holding tight to the tiny thread of sanity she had left.

“Twilight I know the risks and relax you two; I'm staying way clear of carciphona ism related magics. besides, I made up my mind 16 days ago,” said Sweetie confidently.

'No no no this isn't happening..please luna tell me I'm having a nightmare..tell me sweetie belle isn’t the pony in the prophecy' Thought Twilight pleading with the princess of the night to falsify everything she was witnessing.

“Sweetie Belle!” Yelled Scoots & Apple Bloom in harmonic unison.

'Finally, it's almost dusk' thought Sweetie seeing the sun on the horizon “hold tight I have friends to greet” said Sweetie to the lost in thought purple alicorn. and Rarity too stunned to say or do much anything sits absentmindedly waiting for her sister's return.(as Spike does whatever you imagine him to***freebe** for the rest of the story.)

As she walks out the door and down the stairs. “Sweetie Belle you in here,” asked all five at the same time making it sound like an out of tone band tried to play the same note at the same time but had failed.

“Hold on I'm coming, ” said Sweetie as she heads down the stairs to meet her friend's hope’ing that they were able to find and bring the rest of the bearers with them.

Meanwhile on the other side of the door, Scootaloo & Apple Bloom knocked on the door to carousel. And wait for an answer as the rest of the group catches up. “Sweetie Belle they had said. and shortly after their entire group gets there they hear hoof falls on stairs. “Sweetie Belle you in here,” they all said like a cacophony.

Back inside Sweetie makes her way to the front door.

“Sweetie Belle” they call again.

“I'm coming I'm coming,” said Sweetie as she heads to the door and opens it hmph..ugh. girls what gives → what happened..what's going on” asked Sweetie as she’s tackled by her two best friends.

“What happened? → an earthquake that's what happened!” said Scootaloo relieved yet confused.

'did she even notice' thought Apple Bloom getting up off of her friend. and Scootaloo doing the same.

Sweetie lays there thinking over the recent events. 'so went to Twilight's then back here what are they talking about their was no earthquake I would have felt that but Rarity had suppressed my nerves. Maybe I'm still numb.' thought Sweetie before she pinches herself. “Oww,” said Sweetie having gone a little too deep.(how'd she pinch herselfI leave it to you to decide the reality here confuses me)

“Well whatever let's git started though it's almost dusk,” said Sweetie an impatience evident in her tone. Rainbow Dash notice’s the trio had now surrounded her and the others. Sweetie closes the open door with her magic. Slam--

“uh, girls what's going on” asked Dash as she watches the glow in Sweetie's eyes becoming more vibrant and pronounced. as she charges her horn.

“It's the surprise, ” said Scoots her wings flared, as well as an eerie smile on her face. As Apple Bloom showed more of a nervous grin. They form a triangle around the three.

“It's, it's a trap,” said Dash a little too late. Sweetie sees in foresight what Rainbow Dash was about to do and casts her spell.

“No” was all Rainbow Dash got out as she’s hit in the muzzle with a green blast of magic and watches as her friends are hit by two more.

Apple Bloom & Scootaloo watch as they see Sweeties spell immediately take action.

“Sweet Celestia,” said Apple Bloom drop mouthed. Scootaloo watching her idle shrink tries her best to hide a rising desire to play with a live mini Rainbow Dash doll a strange smile on her face as her wings buzzed joyfully.
Sweetie Belle now holding the three now shrunken mare's in a joint levitation spell. Decides on a whim to pull a prank on the prankster herself. Giggling and getting an idea with a knowing smile on her face as she looks to Scootaloo for approval.

“Uh,” said Scootaloo before noticing theCMC code hoof language signings for prank and dinner. Sweetie getting an approving nod from her friend nods in return her own smile turning to a more mischievously sinister one.

Apple Bloom missing the signing for prank stood stunned at the fact that Scootaloo would go through with such a cannibalistic idea.
and watches as Sweetie separates Rainbow Dash from the joint spell into a separate levitation spell and pulls the now shrunken Dash over to her. Rainbow Dash nervously watches as she’s pulled above Sweeties giant head as she licks her chops.

“Ugh,” said Dash her nervousness turning into slight fear. Sweetie opens her mouth and begins lowering Dash to her agape maw. “SHE”S GONE CaNNIBAL” yelled Dash as she’s lowered backward eyes clenched shut.

Mmm---lick--raspberry?--. “Ughk,” said R.D opening her eyes to find herself looking down at a white filly with a light purple and pink curl ended mane laughing hysterically on her back as Pinkie,Scoots, and Apple Bloom join in. Flutters however to stunned by recent events to do or say much anything curls up into a tight ball.

“That wasn't funny,” said R.D the laughing just becoming more hysterical. → time → The laughs finally calming down. “Does Rarity know about this?!” said R.D furiously.

“come I'll take you to her,” said Sweetie while giggling ending with a squee the still angry and un admittingly unremittingly scared Dash giving a serious look. Sweetie gets to her hooves and motions the others to follow her up the stairs.

'ok' thought Apple Bloom. “Ah musta missed something,” said Apple Bloom under her breath. As she and Scootaloo follow Sweetie up the stairs. Pinkie finally in control of her laughter.

“Oh I know I know maybe it's a miniature tea party,”said Pinkie Pie.

“Eh,”said R.Dd rolling her eyes now full of anticipation and worry.

Now at the top of the stairs, Sweetie hears her sister yelling at Twilight as they argued.

“I leave you here for three minutes and you're already fighting?!”said Sweetie as she opens the door and walks in the others following suit.

“It's your fault for teaching her magic!”said Rarity as her sister walks in.

“well!!you wanted me too!!” retorted Twilight.

“I leave you here for three minutes and you're already fighting,”said Sweetie questioningly.

“Sweetie! you're alive!”. Said Rarity dread and tear-ridden face.

“What!” Said Sweetie shock and confusion across hers.

3 minutes earlier “what! Said Rarity “you're lying..you can't be serious,” said Rarity dread and worry across her face.

“I'm not positive but if she’s the one the prophecy speaks I'm afraid so, but there's still one sign left to be shown, but if she shows that as well there would be no doubting it .” said Twilight trying to doubt her assumption.

“But why her why my Sweetie, she's an angel how could this happen to her of all ponies.?”said Rarity frustration and worry mounting as she tries but fails to hide her fear.

“She’s already shown the first sign,” said Twilight sadly.

“Well, it's your fault for teaching her magic” yelled Rarity anger and fear in her voice.

“well!!you wanted me too!!” retorted Twilight.

“I leave you here for three minutes and you're already fighting,” said Sweetie. Frustration and disappointment in her voice as she walked into her sister's room.

“Sweetie you're alive!” shouted Rarity. Sweetie not only noticing her sister's dread and relief but feeling it as well.

“What!” said Sweetie 'what does she mean I'm alive what in Equestria made her think I was dead?' thought Sweetie confusion evident on her face.

“What da ya mean she's alive what made ya think she wasn't” asked Apple Bloom a questioning look on her face as well as concern.

“Yeah she's fine I mean there was an earthquake earlier but she's fine.” said Scootaloo getting strange looks from Sweetie Belle, her sister, and Twilight.

“What earthquake,” asked Rarity and Twilight in unison. A puzzled look across their faces.

“You've got to be kidding me,” said Scoots

“ehgh..we don't have time for this” exclaimed Sweetie frustration growing as her patience wears thin.

Scootaloo watches as Sweetie puts Fluttershy, R.D, and Pinkie Pye in the jar she had on rarity's work table next to the model of the boutique.

'no not them too' thought Twilight see her friend's had suffered the same fate.

“Well,” asked Sweetie eyeing Apple Bloom.“you’ve got her right?” finished Sweetie asking Apple Bloom.

“Oh, yeah ah got er,” said Apple Bloom as she takes off her saddlebags and pulls out the jar with a strange looking orange blob atop a cloth at the bottom.

“Is she no, ah don't think uh Sweetie could ya come take a look at this?” said Apple Bloom asking cutting scoots off.

“Sigh.. alright,” said Sweetie as she walks over to the jar sitting on the floor and takes a discerning look at the mini A.J in question.

“Hey!” yells Sweetie as she gives the jar a tap.

“Haya,” said A.J as she shoots up.

“She's fine,” says Sweetie as she takes the lid off and levitates the mare out.

“Ay whatcha doin ah uh AAAA giant!” yelled Apple Jack at seeing the two giant eyes and muzzle staring at her.

“Hey ya don't need ta scare ma sister like dat,” said Apple Bloom scorningly.

“Wha, ah..Apple Bloom help ah?.. ay..put me down!” said A.J recognizing her little sister.

“Give er ta me,” said A.B authoritatively.

“Why I got her already?”asked Sweetie frustratedly.

“ Cous she's my sister now hoofer over.!” said Apple Bloom as her voice rises in anger.

“no!” said Sweetie flatly.

“Now,” said Apple Bloom aggression showing as she tries to grab her miniaturized sister protectively. Sweetie moving her out of reach.

“Ah...ah thI'm gonna be sick,” said A.J as she's moved this way and that. “Ahh aaa!”--hulmp-- said A.J seeing her sister's maw and cut off by blackness.

“You,”said Sweetie shocked at what had just happened.

“NO!...now look at whatcha made me do,” said Apple Bloom as she starts to cry.

“I..i…. → no!--YOU made me eat mi sister! Yelled Apple Bloom cutting Sweetie off as she tackles Sweetie and puts her in a choke hold.

“Girls stop,” said Scootaloo as she pry's the two apart. “We can fight later right now we have to figure out how we're going to git A.J out of Apple Bloom, it won't matter if you know natural things happen,” said Scootaloo oddly calm in the hectic situation.

“But ah--no everything's going to be fine,” said Scootaloo cutting off her mortified friend. “What we need here is a good dose of inertia.” Said Scoots getting a reckless idea an eerie smile on her face.

“No, ya gotta be joking,” said Apple Bloom. Dreading the obvious answer.

“Do you want--yes anything,” said Apple Bloom fear and worry in her voice and clear dread on her face. “Well Sweetie we don't have it with us so?”said Scoots as she eyes Sweetie.

“I'm on it..sigh...I hate the hurle a twirl,” said Sweetie wincing at the very mention of the accursed name.

“I'm so sorry Bloom”, said Sweetie as she begins levitating one of her two best friend's.

“Ah ain't got words,” said Apple Bloom through her teeth. As she's lifted into position.

“ Here it goes." 'this is going to be gross' said Sweetie ending in thought. As she began spinning her friend around starting out slow but gradually increasing it.

Three months ago the CMC had tried getting their cutie marks in extreme coaster endurance. and Apple Bloom having had the worst endurance. And a sore stomach at the end of the day having thrown up on almost every ride that went faster than 30 mph. And had decided they try and get their cutie marks in roller coaster building instead.

Pinkie watches her head spinning with the blurred figure she knew was Apple Bloom. “Oh, my,”said Rarity as she watches the sight unfold in front of her. As her face starts turning green.

“Geez,” said R.D as she watches intently her experience with the dizatron proving she never truly got dizzy.

'when this is over I'm having a request put in for some magic inhibitor rings' thought twilight. Her face becoming slightly green as well. As Fluttershy peeks an eye out from under her hooves.

“She's reaching the point,” said Scootaloo noticing Apple Bloom's face turning green.

“Mm-hmm” hummed Sweetie as she spikes the speed before quickly lowering Apple Bloom.

“Ughk...huulmk...blhuung...mn” Apple Bloom hurls as she catches her sister by the tale before she could fall in the vomit.

“I'm sorry-grrrr mm” growls Apple Bloom cutting sweetie off as she heads off to the upstairs bathroom down the hall.

“it's alright they're ok now,” said Scoots trying to cheer her friend up but completely unsuccessful. As Sweetie pushes away her friend's embrace.

“Maybe we should just cancel everything,” said Sweetie as she flops onto her back her legs giving a short flail in response to her frustration.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Apple Bloom washes up and pours a small bath in a soap tray for her sister.

“Ah know yer mad at Sweetie but ah can tell in her voice alone she really didn't mean ta sugar cube.” said A.J as she washes off her sister's vile letting go of a wince as she remembers the experience

“ah know but why? → why wouldn't she listen ta me?” asked Apple Bloom, still a bit angry.

Back with the others. “Sweetie?…Sweetie Selle” calls Rarity trying to get her sister's attention.

“Yeah, sis” answered Sweetie wondering what her sister might ask.

“Sweetie could I speak with you for a moment?” asked Rarity.

“Ok” answered Sweetie saddened as she gets to her hooves and walks over to her sister and the others. “Yes Rarity,” said Sweetie looking at her sister through the class jar.

“Well Sweetie I for one agree with you on canceling this..uh..thing you have going here I mean look at what just happened.” said Rarity hope and worry in her voice as well as on her face.

“I want to but it's a three pony decision with Apple Bloom being the reason for this..eh thing,” said Sweetie ending with a sigh feeling her sister's emotions as her sister in-turn feels hers.

Back with A.J and Apple Bloom. “So you're sure ah should apologize first?” asked Apple Bloom. Unsure whether to just go home and mix up the antidote bath for poison joke for her sister and call it quits.

“Yeah, and what's this all about anyway sugar cube and don't say cutie mark's ah can tell there's ah lot more ta it than dat,” said A.J authoritatively.

“Sigh yeah ur right ah..I'd rather that ah showed ya if dat’s alright with ya.” said Apple Bloom sadly as she's reminded why they're doing this.

Back with Sweetie and the others. “So just what is all this about and why do you; not to mention how did you git such dark spell books?” Asked Rarity unsure if she really did want to know.

“Sweetie?--I know twilight forbidden locked in an eighteen hoof thick magic infused stainless steel vault.” said Sweetie cutting Twilight off before she could even start a sentence.

“uh..how?” asked Twilight dumbfounded.

“It was easy just reverse the polarity on the fourth quad line matrix on the main boundary and it takes car of the rest, oh and a little chaos magic doesn't hurt.” said Sweetie as five miniature jaws dropped. “oh, and hiding it behind a wall → obvious” finished Sweetie ending singsong.

“Uh..uh..i...ughn.?”said a bewildered Twilight as she tries to judge just how smart the filly had become. “ But the boobie traps the alarms.?”questioned Twilight.

“Cake-walk,” said Sweetie. An odd knowing in her still illuminated green eyes. “oh and you wanted to know why it's because I'm helping Apple Bloom with her loss by making it so she can speak with her mom.” said Sweetie excitedly a knowing smile and a proud expression on her face.
