//-------------------------------------------------------// Luna Game: Aftermath -by gwarrior456- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 2 days later *New point of view* I heard a ringing noise going off which was my alarm clock.I moved my hoof to turn off the damn thing.I woke up still drowsy and got off my bed. "Well time for a new day again."I said to myself as I went to my bathroom to take a well deserved bath. After that relaxing bath,I regained my old perky personality again! By the way the name is G Colt, a weird name I know but eh what to do, I don't mind it. Anyway I went to eat my breakfast when all of a sudden a letter poofed right in front of my face! "What the hay!?"I exclaimed. I picked up the strange letter,if I hadn't known better I knew it was from the Princess herself. But why would she send me a letter? Must be important, with no delay I opened up the letter which contained: My loyal subject G Colt I have an important mission for you to embark on,for you see my dear sister Luna and one of my faithful subjects Pinkamena Diane Pie has gone missing! I need your help to search and rescue them as soon as possible. I also alerted my student Twilight who will assist you on this mission. Please bring them back to safety! Sincerely, Princess Celestia I thought to myself, Princess Luna and Pinkie missing? What the hay? I hastily ate my breakfast and went to Twilight's place as soon as possible. (Later at Twilight's library) "Hey Twilight, you in here?"I called out to her outside her door. The door opened, Twilight was there. "Did you hear?"I asked. She responded with "Yeah, I did, I can't believe they would dissappear just like that!". I replied"We should start looking for them now, did you let the others know?"."Yeah"she said. We both started with searching anypony who last saw Luna or Pinkie. We asked everypony but we had no luck, we were about to lose hope until a random pony came up and said "I saw a dark blue alicorn going to them hills over there". We thanked the pony and ran off the hills in hope of finding our friends. (Outer part of Ponyville, the hills) "Argh, where are those two!?"I groaned out of frustration. I suddenly felt something wet underneath my hoof. "Eeeeewwwww, what th-"I froze as I looked at my hoof, blood??? "Twilight, take a look....."I said, she looked at the puddle of blood near me, she used a new spell which is used to identify whose blood it belongs to, she quietly stopped casting her spell looking shocked. I asked "Whats the matter?", Twilight muttered "Pinkie........", I instantly knew what she meant, I spotted what seemed to be a cover of a damaged book on the ground, I turned over the book to find only the first few pages present. "Huh what a waste."I muttered, then suddenly I found myself in darkness for a second then I was in the eyes of what seemed to be Princess Luna, various images flashed before me, I saw her picking up the same book I found except it was complete. Then I saw Luna in front of Pinkie who is then sliced in half in a split second but then I saw her alive looking psychotic,then she screamed killing my ears"THIS ISN'T OVER!".Then my vision of what seemed to be the past ended. "Are you alright G?"Twilight asked as I snapped out of my trance."We need to find the rest of the pages of this book if we ever want to find Luna and Pinkie!"I declared. "What happened G?"Twilight asked, I knew she would, so I explained the vision I had and the book's connection to it,"Interesting..." she said, "It seems you get visions due to the special abilities you have.". I started "That would explain it, now we have to- ARGH!", I felt a very intense headache, it really HURTS! Twilight exclaimed "Are you okay!?","Yeah I'm fine."I replied holding my head with my hoof, "Maybe we should stop for today, you need rest after that experience, I'll report to the Princess of what we found so far." she said concerned about my current state. So we headed back to Ponyville, to our homes, I took the remains of the book with me. Man.....my head is killing me, I cannot stop thinking about my visions, why did Pinkie die then come back again? That face she made, it felt like my soul was getting sucked out when I saw that. I heard the window open out of nowhere! "What the hay!?" I exclaimed as I went to close my window only for some papers to slap me on the face (second time today!) "Grrr, son of a...., hmm?",these pages look familiar, I wonder...., I went to my study desk and placed the book on the desk, then I move the pages near the book, they attached by themselves and then I saw a bright light emitting like a thousand suns! Then again I saw darkness then I find myself in the eyes of Luna yet again... She woke up and observed her surroundings then she started to aimlessly wander around, why is she wandering.....then I saw Pinkie laughing except she had eyes filled with darkness and then Applebloom!? Dear Celestia!, she is staring as if she wants to kill somepony! No more.....I want to end this nightmare...NOW! I opened my eyes, I found myself in bed and I saw two figures standing beside me, It took me a while to clearly see who it is, it was Twilight and Celestia? What is the Princess doing here? "Are you alright?"Celestia asked,"My head is killing me and I saw one of the most disturbing things nopony has ever seen!"I said and I told them about my nightmarish vision and the book. "May I look through your memories?" Celestia requested, I reluctantly agreed, she placed her horn on my head and again with the bright light except no blacking out, Celestia gasped filled with the same fear I experienced, she lifted her horn away still in shock, "I never saw anything like it, this is indeed a serious matter!, you both need to finish this book together, G for your safety please do not attempt to repair the book alone unless somepony is with you at all times." Celestia explained, "Now I must bid farewell, stay safe you two.", she then flew away. Twilight started "Well you heard the Princess G, let me or any of our friends know if you find a page, okay?", I responded with "Okay, don't worry", it is late , Twilight went home and I went to bed and get some rest, I hope I won't get haunted with those IMAGES....... No nightmares came to me when I slept but I'm ready for them when the time comes...... //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 *Yawn*, I managed to get some sleep considering what happened last night, I wish I could get those freaking pictures out of my head, an image of Pinkie I understand but Applebloom? I decided to look at the book since I get knocked out when a new page is feed to the book, so no harm looking....right? Once again I opened up the book then I quickly looked away!(Still shaken from that last experience) Then I slowly peeked at the book before me just sitting on my desk (No creepy stuff, phew!) to find words written on the once empty book with some creepy pictures drawn on them, I read the first page. It had a picture of two Pinkies, One had the Pinkie we all knew and loved but the other was a monster, that feels like death and fear itself. In the page it describes: "Pinkamena, the dark side of Pinkie Pie, know to rise when the better self is damaged emotionally or in a state of near death, this persona is known to be psychotic and extremely dangerous, kills victims in various gruesome ways and attacks victims' minds directly, may cause severe psychological damage." "Severe" isn't enough to describe the mental attacks I'd say, anyway I turned to the next page to see picture of Luna and Nightmare Moon!? Didn't Twilight and the others stop Nightmare Moon? Why is she in the book? The words are blurred in the page, well so much for that.... Then I turned to another page and found the following: "The one who found this book, must fix the pieces, only then the goal can be achieved....." "Follow the voices......." Wow, talk about being cryptic, guess I better tell Twilight about this new thing. (Twilight's Library) "Yo Twi, you in there?" I called out ,the door opened to reveal Spike, he greeted "Whats up G?", I asked "Is Twilight home?", he turned around and yelled "Hey Twi, G is here to see you!!" with Twilight responded with "I'm coming Spike, sheesh!" with the usual annoyed attitude as I expected. "Something on your mind?" she asked as she approached, I explained about my findings to her without any delay, as she began to think I heard some whispering: "L..ve .e .lone!" "You .an.. r.. forever!!" "I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!" "Hey G, you alright?" she asked as I snapped out of my trance, then with haste I asked Twilight to follow me as I felt a faint presence out of town. We both arrived at a cliff as I finished explaining what was going on, I found more pages near the cliff, we both knew what to do next. (G's Home) "You ready G?" Twilight asked, I replied with a nod still a little nervous, I moved the pages near the book then I instantly blacked out as the pages attached themselves. Luna was running across a plain, crying......then a picture of Pinkamena with black eyes popped up in Luna's vision, she cried out "Leave me alone!" with Pinkamena mocking "You can't run forever!!" Luna screamed "I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!" then she approached a cliff, which as she jumped I heard a familiar voice shouting "COME OUT!" then as Luna falls into the darkness, Several gruesome images flashed with the voice shouting "LOVE ME!" in a distorted fashion and then a loud screech. I got "kicked" out from Luna's view to see her body chopped up! Then her eyes jerked open with an irritating screech, then my vision ends. I woke up in my bed again, Twilight was waiting for me to wake up and she asked about what happened, I told her the hellish experience I saw..... (Few days later) It has been a rough week, visions these past few days, how many more visions do I have to see? I opened up the book to check if new writing appeared, I was right! This one explains why Applebloom appeared in my visions and more on Pinkamena, the writing states: "Pinkamena took interest in Applebloom to make her Pinkamena's personal apprentice as she is the perfect filly to carry on her legacy, the reason was that Applebloom was the sister of one her friends Applejack and more fitting to be a killer than the other two fillies Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." "The Pinkamena persona began to surface as soon as Pinkie Pie earned her cutie mark, as earning it made her abandon most of the negative feelings, this cause her soul to split into two. Pinkie Pie has been holding back her dark side with ease because of her happy nature, her happiness is a seal that imprisons Pinkamena, but should the seal be weakened Pinkamena will slowly consume Pinkie, draining her sanity every second until calmed down, but should Pinkie gets consumed, reverting her back to her original state will be a difficult task." "Pinkamena has managed to surface at some occasions, previously some ponies went missing but in reality they were brutally tortured and killed in grotesque means, the bodies are all in the same location which was secret and was never found." Then the last two pages were blank, I need to know where to look for the next pages and the location where she took her victims. Out of my frustration I said out loud "Can somepony tell me what the hay am I supposed to do now!?", then suddenly I heard some metallic wind in my mind. I looked at the book to find some writing appearing accompanied by the bizarre sound which says: "You want to save them?" I spoke to the book (feeling weird!) "Yes.", The book responded: "Remember Pinkie's home? The Sugarcube Corner? Look in her room and search it. You will find the answer. Now I must go, we will meet again G Colt....." I instantly shouted at the book "Who are you and how do you know my name? Hey!!!", It gave one last reply: "I am your friend, until we meet again G........" "Wait!" I cried out but it was too late, all the writing disappeared..... "Damn it!" I pounded my hooves on my desk in frustration, who was that? Why did "It" help me? I'm need rest, I am gonna sleep now and will resume this little mystery tomorrow. (Next day) I got AppleJack and Rainbow Dash to help me investigate Pinkie's room at Sugarcube Corner because Twi is busy with her books again, we got permission from Mr. and Mrs. Sugarcube to check Pinkie's room out, Applejack and Rainbow Dash checked the closets and drawers while I checked the bed, Applejack looking guilty said "Ah feel bad bout looking through Pinkie's stuff, It just feels wrong." I reassured her "We'll clean this place up when we are done, kay?", She nodded back feeling relieved, but Rainbow is going through everywhere with no regrets, while looking under the bed I found a box! We all looked in the box and found a diary..it was covered in blood, I felt sick just by looking at it, then we all read the first few pages, the first two are logs of Pinkie's nightmare of her evil self but the most interesting pages are written in blood..... The first three bloodied pages had large writing which says: "Cupcakes Batch 1 I found some really noisy ponies to have fun with! We had a good time! I strapped them on to the table and cut out their cutie marks! Then I cut out their eyes and they screamed so loud, and get this they actually wanted to leave early! Nopony has ever left my parties so early, so I cut up their tummys open took out their insides whatever they call it and then the poor things fell asleep...now they stay forever! Yay!" (The rest of the page is covered in blood) The pages switched between blood and ink writing, then we found two blank pages, knowing what it means, we cleaned up Pinkie's room and went to my place (G's home) I explained to AJ and RD what to do when I fix the book, AJ listened to every word but I can't say the same for RD who just want to get it over with, well I placed the pages near the book and I instantly was covered in darkness...... Again I found myself in the eyes of Luna...wait something feels different and yet familiar at the same time, there were seven rabbits before Luna(?), six of them were normal but one was red who ran away, then I saw darkness coming towards Luna(?), she ran towards a familiar cliff and jumped off, then I saw an image of Pinkamena flashing before me with distorted screams, then Luna(?) who landed on the ground and was halfway consumed by the darkness found herself before a giant Pinkie Pie whose eyes and mouth slowly started to leak some black colour substance and a red light appeared from her and eyes and then suddenly she ate Luna(?)! Then with me out of her vision, I saw Luna(?) and Pinkamena(?) standing facing each other, Pinkamena spoke "Do you know what day it is?....Its Friday, Friday the 13th! Its my favourite holiday! And I have a gift for you.....but first...lets take off our fake "costumes" shall we?", then in a flash Luna became Pinkie Pie and Pinkamena became Nightmare moon! Pinkie Pie cried out "Why? Why are you doing this?" Nightmare replied "You once told me you like being scared.....I plan to get revenge on you and your friends! And what is better than by "asking" your other self for help! We are gonna start by destroying your consciousness and Luna's consciousness then take over your bodies and be reborn!" Then suddenly she said "I sense an uninvited guest....." she looked at me and a figure that resembles Scootaloo (Her too!?) popped in front of me saying "LEAVE THIS PLACE NOW!!!!!!" My vision ended then before I regained consciousness I heard a soothing voice speak to me.... "You must end their suffering.......and save us all from the two dark beings......collect all the pieces of the book.....then you will know what to do next....until we meet again......." //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue The blue colour alicorn walked up to the pink earth mare,the pink mare started to talk about parties and how fun it will be,only for her to feel a sharp pain across her body moments later,she looked shocked as the upper part of her body starts to seep blood and slide off as if it is sliced. She uttered "Why.........?" The alicorn took a step back in sheer horror and looked down at here hooves to find them soaked in blood."What have I done!?"She screamed and started to cry. She ran away from the town behind her with tears falling down her cheeks,as she is running,intense pain ran across her brain which caused her to see the same pink mare with straight hair now she seemingly killed is in front of her looking downwards to the ground. "Pinkie.......?"the alicorn asked. All of a sudden the mare known as Pinkie snapped her head up to look at the alicorn with psychotic eyes filled with death startling the alicorn causing her to fall on her back. "Luna........"Pinkie uttered. She let out a deafening scream with the words "THIS ISN'T OVER YET!!!!!!!!" The alicorn known as Luna loses her vision and falls unconscious, the last image she saw was the pink mare walking away from her. A thought came into Luna's mind "I don't want to live anymore....."
