Demise in Equestria

As Rarity ran through town looking for Sweetie Belle she came across some stange events. First off, most of the townsponies were not in the usually bustling streets. Most of the time there were vendors, carts or some type of commotion going on. Now though it seemed as if it was a ghost town, she tried asking whoever she saw if they'd seen Sweetie Belle. Most, if not all, of the town knew of the misadventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. None of them had seen her, she felt her heart sink as she tired out on a bench.

Would she ever find her dear sister? She wondered. That's when she noticed, everpony she talked to seemed as glum as she. What was going on here. That's when Twilight showed up.

"Rarity?" I asked confused, I thought she was going to her boutique to work on her sisters uniforms, "what are you doing out here?"

"I'm looking for Sweetie Belle." she said with tears in her eyes, "I'm really starting to get worried." she said.

I could see it was really troubling her, "Well common we'll look for her together." I told her.

"Where's the last place you remember seeing her." I asked trying to keep it casual though I knew it could end up being bad, I just hoped it wasn't like Fluttershy's incedent.

"At home, I just came back and her friends said that she had seen my diary and gotten angry and run off." she explained, it seemed like the work of Demise all right. I couldn't blame it all on that yet, but the more things changed the more likely it seemed.

As I watched the little purple one I laughed, seeing the mare on my tail was a game for me. I grew in power, the sadness of the white one had given me a half-Entite form. I was now a figure, Myst, I called it. I was not entirely an Entite but I was no longer a Whysper. I was a mist like substance, although with this form I could use the weaker Entite abilities. As I clutched the little off white filly in my claws I laughed to myself. I think it's time to reveal the Demise that will spread acrodd this land like the desease it represented.

"It's strange, everypony in town seems sad because a series of events happening to them. The only one that seems to not have been affacted is Rainbow Dash, although..." I paused, "Rarity have you seen Dash at all today?"

Rarity shook her head. Suddenly the earth began to shake, a giant fissure opened in front of us. A shadowy figure rose from it.

"Demise is here, Demise brings fear. Now let's see how you equines like it, when the tables are turned and I am the one on top of this." the giant figure I assumed was Demise.

"What are you and what do you want" Rarity shouted at Demise.

He produced the one thing that both Rarity and I feared, the limp lifeless body of the young Sweetie Belle.

"Be at ease, I come offering these. There will be moreI can most certainly guaruntee, this is not the end you all shall see. I shall bring the wretched land to it's knees, as they see the full power of my disease." It rhmyed on, it was definetly better than Zecora.

"What are you here for?" I asked it trying to get in on it's plan.

"Always to late purple one, a step behind my plan. One friend left, one unaffected, soon though the rift, will drive her apart and will spread my infected." He said, this one was a little curious. I had no idea what he ment.

"You cannot stop me, I will win the fight. I will win you see, by the end of night."

With that he faded into the earth, the fissure didn't close and Sweetie Belles body lay on the ground with Rarity crying over it.

"She's gone Twilight." Rarity sobbed.

"Common Rarity, we have to stop Demise you heard him." If I had understood his strange lyrics we only had until nightfall. Applejack had apparently been affected, it was only Rainbow Dash that seemed to be the one who wasn't hurt by Demise. I had to hurry up and find her with or without Rarity. I saw the familiar Rainbow streak across the sky.

"Rarity, have to find Rainbow and try to stop Demise, are you coming?" I asked.

She didn't answer, I ran in the direction of the raibow, it was in the central field where she practiced her tricks. Good she was her usual self, at least that was for sure.

Meanwhile back at the farm.

Things were startin' ta get outta control. Applebloom had exploded in Big Mac's face and stormed off. She usually wadn't one ta defy authority. Ah saw Big Mac blowin' off steam by buckin' his old beat up hoofin' bag. Ah trot up to him.

"Everythin' alright Big Mac?" Ah asked him.

"Eyup!" he said kickin' the bag again. He wadn't payin' attention to me.

"Ya need somepony ta talk to?" Ah asked.

"Nope." was his only reply.

"Big Mac Ah know yer upset about Granny too but-" Ah was cut short.

"Whadda YOU know AJ!?" he yelled huffin' at me, "All ya ever do is go around with yer head all blown up that yer the best athleat. Some of us er tryin' ta earn our livin' sis." he'd never talked much so Ah didn't know what was on his mind, "Ya remeber that time ya'll went an' ran off?" he asked, Ah remembered it, that was when Ah got muh cutie mark. "Ya'll got yer cutie mark an' Granny Smith threw ya'll a party." He said, Ah didn't know where he was going with it but I continued, "An' when Ah got MINE!" he continued, now Ah knew what he was gettin' at, "What happened?" he said tears now in his eyes.

"Uh..." Ah didn't know what to say.

"NOTHIN'!" he yelled, "NOTHIN' happened THAT'S what. I've been livin' in yer shadow fer fifteen years AJ." he said, "So SORRY if Ah don' think Ah need anypony ta talk to. Hay you wern't even there fer me when Ma an' Pa died."

"Now you wait just a cotton pickin' second Mac" I stepped up, we butt heads now forhead to forehead. "Ah was in just as much pain as you" We was glarin' at each other now. "Ya'll ain't got no right talkin' to me lahk that. This is MAH farm remember."

"Well than..." Big Mac said taking a step back, "Maybe Ah'll make mah leave then." Now that took me back.

"But. W-Whaddubout the f-farm, a-applebuckin' season's almost here." I stuttered.

"Ya'll seemed ta do it just fine LAST year." he said, he didn't lose stride he just went into the farm to pack his things. Looks like our apple tree was about ta lose two apples.

I watched down at the farm as the little orange mare sat and cried. It was quite a preformance, I had only pushed apart the two sisters, I didn't expect all of this to happen. Oh, well casualties in the middle of my war. After all, with her sadness to compleat this it was now time to reign supreme. Now I was a full Entite, my body had muscular structure I was a behemoth, a force to be reckoned with. Now I could manipulate the very air around me just as my brothers did to take this world six millenia ago. Now it was my time, the time of Demise. It was strange though, it seemed I was stronger than my brothers, not in power, but I felt some odd power in the pit of my full stomach. As if no power in the WORLD could stop me. I put it off. How COULD anything stop me, it wasn't as if there was a magical energy that turned demons like myself to stone.
