Birth of Rarifruit

Rarity's POV.
I've been walking for hours, in this realm, only to find a good place to rest. A graveyard full of tombstones. Graveyards have never been my style, but it's better than the rusted up homes here.

It's been a few days since Twilight was given an assignment from Princess Celestia, to come to this realm and fix whatever is wrong with it.

Everything was working well until a surge of energy overwhelmed us and separated us from each other. Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie. Applejack. And even our dear human friend Eleanor.

Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Rarity. I'm the local fashion designer of Ponyville. As well as the Spirit Representation of Generosity of the Elements of Harmony. A unicorn with a talent of fashion and locating gemstones. As well as the eldest of two sisters in my family.

Anywho, I was just about to sit down on a grassy patch, until I saw a human male, in a red soldier uniform, standing over a tombstone with a sad look on his face.

"You were good, son. Real good." Tears welled up in his eyes, under his bunny-eared helmet, "Maybe even the best."

A sad look grew on my face. Whoever owns that tombstone must have been very close to the soldier. A father, son or a brother.

The man wiped his eyes and left the graveyard. Once he was gone, I walked over to the tombstone. Resting on the grave was a red soldier hat. This man must have been a well-respected man. I wish I could have met him to see.

As if by mere coincidence, the clouds cleared, to reveal the full moon in the night sky. The moon's luminous glow beamed upon the grave and a spectral green hand rose from the grave.

I took a step back in shock, as a spectral apparition of a man, sharing a resemblance to the other man from before, rose from the ground.

The man looked at me and smirked, "Hello. I am RubberFruit." Then he looked at the sky and pointed at the glowing moon, "There is a full moon in the sky tonight. The time has come for me to rise again!"

With that, he rose into the air, his body glowing in a vapor-like aura, turned to me and pointed, "Your soul is mine!"

Then he charged toward me. All I could do was freeze and scream, as his body glowed brighter and merged into mine. I've never felt so much pain in my entire life. It was burning, shocking and cold at the same time. Like I was dying over and over again. Once the pain subsided, a strange surge pulsed through me.

Memories flashed through my mind. Memories of evil. Memories of greed and pride. Memories of death and gore. Some of the memories weren't even mine, yet they feel like they were at the same time. Everything so wrong, and yet they felt so right.

Then I felt something. I didn't feel like I was taken over by a spirit. I felt fabulous. Refreshed. Beautiful. Alive.

A smile grew on my face. Everything around me and inside me filled up with so much power and wonder. I looked over to the hat on the tombstone. I picked up my hat and used my magic to turn it a pretty shade of light purple. I put it over my head and laughed.

"MIIIINE!!!"

No longer am I known as Rarity the Unicorn. I am now Rarifruit. The most deadly unicorn in existence.

Rarifruit's First Strike

Rarifruit's POV.
I looked at my hands, as a smile grew on my face.

It's been only a few minutes since the spirit of RubberFruit merged with me and became one, and yet it feels like we've been one for an eternity.

In the silence of the graveyard, I heard a voice speak from the other side. I snuck over to investigate, and found another Soldier in blue clothing. He had a white mustache and mutton chops, wore a pair of shades and a pirate captain's hat. The soldier was standing next to some sort of dispenser.

He pointed to the dispenser and named it, "Dispenser Pie!"

A grin grew on my face. A perfect victim to test my new powers on. I snuck around the Soldier, turning his attention away from his dispenser. Once his attention was completely gone, I used my magic to merge with the dispenser.

"Boo!" I shouted.

The Soldier jumped in startle and turned to me. I smiled and returned to normal. The Soldier was still frozen from my actions. I activated my magic and waved my hand. The Soldier's body glowed in a purple hue and shifting and his bones cracked into a bar of chocolate.

I used my telekinesis to grab the bar and ate it. I smiled in delight. Tasty and sweet. Like the chocolate didn't come from a Soldier at all.

Suddenly, I sensed a presence behind me. I turned and it was a Heavy. He wore an iron helmet and a jaw-piece. He pointed at me and laughed. I smiled at him and used my magic. However my magic was ineffective against his helmet.

The Heavy laughed, "Stupid Pony!" Then grabbed me by the neck, "I am going to kill you, and kill you, and kill you!"

Before I could beg for my life, a large bell rang. The Heavy and I looked at the bell tower and it was midnight.

Suddenly, just as the bell finished ringing, I felt something twitching inside me. It was welling up in me and my right arm was feeling funny. I looked at my arm and a strange gauntlet appeared. Where did this come from?

The twitching grew more intense and power welled up inside me. I had to let it out!

I screamed and the power released an enormous surge of energy, forcing the Heavy to let go of me and I fell to my knees.

Once everything calmed down inside me, and I caught my breath, I opened my eyes and fell different. I looked myself over. My fur coat is now a gleaming white. My mane and tail are now a vibrant pink with purple streaks. My clothes have changed color too.

My turtleneck sweater was now a dark purple. My grey pants were now dark blue. I looked over to my Cutie Mark and it has changed as well. From three blue diamonds, it's now three diamonds and an purple apple.

I turned my attention to the mysterious gauntlet attached to my right arm. Where did this thing come from? Why did it appear on my arm? Is it the source of the twitching and welling up power inside me?

As if a reply, the gauntlet glowed and a massive surge of energy pulsed through me. Like I was going through an Uber Charge. It faded after a few seconds.

That felt... Amazing. Like I'm a whole new Pony than I was before.

The Heavy spoke to me, daring me to fight. I smirked and waved my hand at him. My magic had hold of him in a powerfully crushing force. I chuckled in delight.

Then the gauntlet glowed all on its own. I felt something appear behind me. I looked and it was a pair of ghostly claws. A smirk grew on my face, as I returned my attention to the Heavy.

"Kill him." I instructed the claws.

One of the claws grabbed hold of the Heavy and the other grabbed his head. It ripped his head off with ease. His neckbone and streams of arteries and muscles hung from his neck. The Heavy fell to the ground and the claws disappeared.

I picked up the helmet and jaw-piece, "Miine!"

Just then, another unicorn appeared beside me. I looked at him. He was a unicorn stallion that shared my old color-scheme. He wore a pair of shades and a fedora.

"Umm... Hello." He greeted with a wave.

"Hello. Can I help you?" I asked.

"Uh... Yeah." He nodded, "I was wondering if I could have that helmet, you've got there." I looked at the helmet, "You see, I'm a travelling salesman that sells the rarest of trinkets." He looked at the helmet, "That helmet is a true rarity and will sell nicely to the highest buyer."

I rubbed my chin in thought, then looked at the gauntlet. The gauntlet was itching me to take the helmet and leave, but now that I think about it. I don't want or need the helmet. I just wanted to kill the Heavy for threatening me and almost killing me.

I picked up the helmet and gave it to the unicorn, "Here, you can have it. You need it more than I do."

The unicorn looked at me, "Really?" I nodded. He took the helmet and smiled, "Thank you, Miss..."

"Rarifruit, and don't mention it." I smiled back.

Guess the Element of Generosity still resides within me after all.

The Birth of Creepy Belle

Rarifruit's POV.
I sat in the graveyard, near RubberFruit's grave, looking at the gauntlet on my right arm. It's only been a few hours since RubberFruit's spirit merged with me and we became one deadly force to be reckoned with.

But, why choose me of all ponies?

I sighed, "Why me, of all Ponies? Am I that deserving of this power?" I asked.

I grabbed the gauntlet and tried to remove it, but it wouldn't budge. Suddenly I sensed a presence appear behind me. I looked at it was a spectral form of RubberFruit.

"Look, Rarity. It's quite blatantly obvious that I'm stuck with you now, because of that gauntlet." He told me, "So if I'm going to be sharing a brain with a Pony, the very least I can do is try and make myself useful, for once."

"How can you do that?" I asked, "You're a spirit trapped inside me."

He furrowed his eyes at me, "At least I'M trying!" Then he looked ahead and pointed, "Well, look over there."

I followed his gaze and saw a familiar young filly unicorn wandering around the graveyard.

"Isn't that the one you call, Sweetie Belle? That sister of yours?" RubberFruit asked. I nodded. "Maybe she's come here, looking for you. Though I doubt she'll recognise you in your current state." He pointed out, "Just let me help you, and maybe we can make her the same thing that you are." Then he smiled and vanished, "All we need is a willing host."

I closed my eyes, nodded, then smirked. I activated an illusion spell to look like my old self. Alright, RubberFruit. I see what you have in mind. It is on!

I walked over to my younger sister and called, "Sweetie Belle!"

Sweetie Belle looked at me and smiled, "Rarity!" She ran and hugged me tightly.

I looked around, then back at Sweetie Belle, "Hey, Sweetie Belle?" Sweetie looked at me, as I gestured to a nearby grave, "Do you think you can help me check out this grave?"

Sweetie Belle nodded and walked over to the grave. Now's my chance.

I stepped back and quietly activated my magic to awaken the grave. Within seconds, a creepy-looking Medic rose from the grave and looked at Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle screamed and turned to me. I smirked and showed her my true colors.

Sweetie Belle took a step back and bumped into the Medic. The Medic picked her up into the air and smiled at her.

Then the merging began. Both Sweetie Belle and the Medic entered an Uber Charge form and enveloped in a bright light. I shielded my eyes from the light.

Once the light faded and I could open my eyes, I saw the Medic was gone and Sweetie Belle has changed. Her fur was now a dark grey and her mane and tail were black with red streaks. Even her outfit changed.

Her light grey sweater was as dark grey as her fur. Her tie was pink was red designs. And her skirt was black and red plaid.

Sweetie Belle opened her eyes and notice something on her skirt. A red cross with a music note and blood strains. A Cutie Mark patch!

Sweetie Belle's eye twitched and a smile grew on her face. She has become just like me.

A smile grew on my face, as I called, "Sweetie Belle?"

Sweetie Belle looked at me. Her eyes hopeful, "Rarity?"

"It's Rarifruit now." I explained.

She smiled, "I guess you can call me Creepy Belle."

"I like that name. It suits you." I smiled.

Creepy Belle and I snuggled and watched the moon set, ready for the morning to come.

Suddenly, I felt something being ripped out of me, then RubberFruit appeared behind me.

"See? I told you I will make myself useful." He smiled, "Now, you've got your sister back, as a deranged little maniac, like yourself nonetheless, and you've also managed to cause some wonderful chaos tonight. I think you and I might be able to get along a little better next time. If you need me again, you know where to find me."

And with that, he was gone.

"Hey, Rarifruit?" Creepy Belle called.

I looked at her, "Yes, Creepy Belle?"

Her smile turned dark, "Wanna cause some more chaos?"

A dark smile grew on my face, "You read my mind, lil sis."

Madness Reawakened

Fluttershy's POV.
I looked around the graveyard, that I heard Rarity and Sweetie Belle were spotted. But the entire graveyard was quiet and empty. No sign of the two sisters anywhere.

I've been spending the last few days in this realm of the Humans, looking for my friends, but I haven't been getting a lot of luck.

Hello there. My name is Fluttershy. I'm the local animal caretaker in Ponyville and I'm one of Twilight Sparkle's closest friends.

I turned my attention to a gravestone that read 'RubberFruit'. But, I sensed nothing within the grave. It was like to whole grave was empty. Then I heard something and turned to the next gravestone.

I walked over to the gravestone. It read 'Here lies GAYPENIS. Fellow friend of RubberFruit'. These are very weird names for humans. Eleanor's name makes more sense than random names.

My ears perked up, as I heard a voice speak.

"EAR RAPE!!!"

I looked around to find the source of the voice, but I was all alone. I looked at the grave again and there was a red and white striped hat near it. Where did that come from?

Suddenly, the hat floated in mid-air and something horrifying popped out of the grave. It was a Heavy male. I took a step back and yelped. His flesh was decomposing and his skin was a sickening green. Puss, blood and rotten flesh was oozing out of his clothes. Maggots crawled across his face.

He smiled at me, "I AM GAYPENIS! KING OF EAR RAPE!"

He roared at me. I took another step back and screamed, "Please, don't hur-!"

Without another word, the Heavy grabbed my by the throat, quickly stopping me from talking and I gasped for air. Then I felt a surge of power pulse through me and everything went white.

When everything calmed down, I opened my eyes and looked at the grave. The zombie was gone. Where did he go? Then a powerful surge pulsed through me and memories flash before me. Such destruction. Such fun. Such... Chaos.

I smiled and looked myself over. My fur coat was a lighter, more paler cream color. My mane was blood red and my tail was snowy white. Even my clothes have changed. My sundress was black and my sash was blood red, like my mane. My gloves were black with white stripes and I wore GAYPEN-... My hat on top of my head.

My Cutie Mark has changed too. Instead of butterflies, they were speakers, shaped like butterflies, covered in blood.

The smile on my face grew wider, "TIME FOR AN EAR RAPE!!!"

I screamed and the earth shook under my hooves. Everyone within my range had their ears bleeding and drop dead, or their heads exploded and drop dead. This power felt wonderful!

No longer will I be called Fluttershy. I am now FlutterShout, Pony Monster of Ear Rape!
