The Face of Sin

"Twilight are you sure this is safe?" Pinkie asked with an undefinate tone.

"I don't know." was simply her response, she turned to her pink friend, "But we've got to try, right?"

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy both nodded in agreement. They had to save their friends, at any cost. The plan was dangerous, and they may not come back, or even slimer chance, be successful. Twilight had succesfully used the Dream Walker spell on Apple Jack, but she was about to trek territory nopony ever wanted to have to venture. Twilight explained that Sin was using a Dream Weaving spell, which enabled him to embody the dream and control what happens. Though to do this he had to fall asleep himself.

"So here's what we do," Twilight explained, "We enter Apple Jacks dream one more time. We have to make Sin appear again somehow. When he does, you girls need to distract him while I cast the spell to open up his dreams. Now since he has ultimate control over what happenes there it's going to be very unpredictable We have to fight Sin there, if we loose... well at least we tried right? Are you all ready?" Twilight asked.

Pinkie nodded her head vigorously, Fluttershy merely gave a curt nod of her head.

"Then let's get going."

Once more back on the farm, Pinkie, Fluttershy and I had to persuade Apple Jack to come with us to find Sin.

"Ah told ya'll Ah ain't coming with ya, I'm happy here." Apple Jack told us.

"Apple Jack it isn't real" I told her. There was a pause.

"Ah don't care." She turned and walked away. I hung my head in defeat.

That's when something happened that gave me an idea, Apple Bloom walked by. She was carrying a bucket of apples over to Granny Smith who was buisying herself with sorting through the good and bad ones. I knew why AJ wanted to stay here, she was hit hardest by Demise. She lost everything she ever had: her family, her farm, her dog. Everything she'd ever lived for was gone now, I felt for her but we had to do this for Equestria... and for her, so she could move on.

"Apple Bloom," I called, she turned around to look at me, I knew this was going to be bad but it was for AJ's own good, I walked up to the little filly, "Apple Bloom sweetheart, I know it is going to hurt your sister but...."

"Ah have to tell her don't Ah?" she replied, it shocked me that she knew what was going on.

"Apple Bloom how did you–" I was cut off.

"You didn't think I was acctually going to keep up this charade forever did you?" Apple Bloom... well it looked like her but the voice was different, like Parydan it was a voice within itself. Her eyes glowed entirely green and then she burst into an emerald colored fire.

A giant dark green smoke appeared from Apple Blooms ashes. It laughed maniacally as Granny Smith and Big Macintosh did the same, the smoke joining with the rest of the plume. Apple Jack could only watch in horror as her family and her orchard were stripped from her once more. I could see the tears in her eyes.

"You all are so foolish so easily!" He cackled as if he had told the best joke in the world.

"You won't get away with this you meanie!" Pinkie yelled.

Sin laughed once again, "Oh little mares always so easy to trick into believing anything. For you see, none of you have seen my true face. Or for that matter the true face of ANY Entite. My brother Demise believed he was in his true form when in reality he had not even discovered it."

"True form?" I said questionably, "The final form of you creatures is an–"

"Entite, yes common belief." Sin said waving off my words with a claw. "For you see, only when an Entite reaches maximum control over all sentiant life on a planet can they become an Esper!" Sin almost sounded excited. "But first I must crush the spirits of every last soul on the face of this world. I'm almost compleate too, whilst you all slept so soundly I, Sin, greatest of the Wyspers was busy plotting against you all. Even the great Celestia and Luna are under my control, living in fantasies that conform to the life they wish they had."

"Sin controls fantasy, he gives you a temptation you can't refuse becasue it's the one thing in life you've always wanted." I said more to myself.

"There was only one problem." Sin said. He pointed a finger at Fluttershy and I. "You were the only two to avoid me, now though", he laughed, "it seems you caught in a world with no escape. I win."

The plume of smoke rushed towards us before we could react, I closed my eyes and prepared for the impact... it didn't come. I opened my eyes to reveal that for some reason I was at Rarity's Carousel Boutique. I heard laughing and giggleing in the other room.

I looked around, Fluttershy, Pinkie even Apple Jack were here with me.

What was going on?

Rarity came out of a room with her hair looking absolutely ridiculous, she was accompanied by her once dead sister Sweetie Belle. They were laughing until Rarity caught sight of her friends.

"Oh, hello there everypony." She said, she ignored us and continued on her way.

"Rarity, we need to talk." I told her.

She looked back to me uninterested, "Yes, dear I'd love to but I'm simply too busy catching up with my little sister."

She smiled at the young filly, I saw the gray lifeless eyes fill with false joy.

"Rarity, you can see this doen't you!" I told her, she paused, "Your sister has green eyes, look at hers they don't even have color."

Rarity shifted as if she was uncomfortable, "Sometimes... a lie," she said with mourning in her voice, "is easier to take than the truth." She turned and walked out.

"Girls we have to follow her." I told them.

"Why?" Apple Jack said, "Ah didn't wanna come with ya'll, Ah was happy where Ah was 'til ya'll came and ruined it. Rarity's right a lie's easier to take than the truth."

"But Apple Jack, you of all ponies should know that dishonesty never lets you get ahead." I replied comfortingly.

She hung her head, a single tear ran down her face.

"Let's go get her."

I was already at the park setting up our sisters picnic.

Sweetie Belle was happily laying down the blanket, I watched her. I had noticed she was a bit off since that strange cloud of smoke brought her back.

"Sweetie Belle?" I called quietly.

"Yes, Rarity?" She asked enthusiastically. Her eyes big and bright.

I saw what Twilight was telling me, her eyes were indeed gray, almost lifeless. I could see the enthusiasm and happyness but... it was as if it was fake, a falsified sense of emotion set there to fool me.

"Are you..." I bit my bottom lip, "are you real?"

I saw the expression change from enthusiasm to anger.

"I thougt you were going to keep on going with this lie even after what your friend said, but I see we'll have to abandon that plan." It was Sweetie Belles voice but... another, much more evil voice was echoed behind it.

Everything went black...
