Have a nice day/night reading.

Hell on Earth!

Now that the winter break is over, the rainbooms can go back to school except for Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Due to their antics with Anon-A-Miss, they were expelled from school. With all the other high schools in the area, they will not accept either of the two to join in the school, therefore, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle will be homeschooled for the remaining of their high school life. Teachers from Canterlot High will be making trips to the houses from time-to-time to help their grades grow higher.

It is now 7:25 in the morning. The Rainbooms had 20 minutes left before classes started.

"Well, here we are in the new year." Applejack said.

"Yea..." Rainbow agreed, "new year means new beginnings."

"Then why doesn't it feel new?" Pinkie asked.

"It's because of us darling. We messed up with Sunset Shimmer. I messed up my little sister. Because of me...Sweetie Belle is on suicide watch. I ignored her cries for attention and kicked her out of my room when we had that amazing slumber party. I tossed her away right after she helped make it perfect for us. I can see why she feels neglected."

"I hear you Rarity. I tossed Apple Bloom away to hang out with you gals. I excluded my family when they needed me to help. Because of me, I made Apple Bloom go into insanity. She created Anon-A-Miss so have one more sisterly bonding time. Now, she's losing her mind."

"Anon-A-Miss cause a lot of trauma in our school. Anon-A-Miss pushed the toughest, meanest, cruel students in our school to become arsonists but murderers as well. Such a heavy burden." Pinkie stated.

"Yea and Scootaloo suffered the most. She lost her father in the war and her mother due to Anon-A-Miss. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went into a deeper darker depression when they realized that things went too far. Can't say but if we would have made time for them, then all of this wouldn't be happening. I wish I spend a bit more time with Scootaloo. I knew that she was not alright but I took our friendship more seriously than her health. Scootaloo went through hard times and all she wanted was for me to...take her home and hang with her. I couldn't even do that. What a friend I am."

"We all made mistakes with the CMC but our biggest regret is ignoring Sunset Shimmer when she needed us the most. We all quickly turn on her because of her sins in the past. Who are we to judge on that? We're supposed to take Twilight's task and build a friendship with Sunset Shimmer. Now, look at us. We lost a friend because we were all blinded by the truth. Sunset was right and we hurt her physically and mentally. I don't blame her for not wanting to come back. I also don't blame Twilight for sealing the portal for good. We don't deserve it. We're not good friends." Fluttershy said with tears in her eyes.

"Apple Bloom told me and gave me a valid reason why Sunset would be the prime suspect. She even told me the truth about an Apple betraying another Apple. I wish I saw the exact truth from her eyes. I should have listened to Sunset Shimmer."

"Sweetie Belle gave me a valid reason as well. She convinced me that Sunset is the only one capable of manipulations around here."

"Scoots straight up told me that Sunset is the one behind Anon-A-Miss due to her blackmailing throughout the years here. I did slap Scootaloo for calling me stupid but she was in a depression. Took me long enough to see the sadness dwelling in Scootaloo."

"Harsh, shame on you Dashie for slapping her." Pinkie said.

"I know I know! Things weren't easy that week for any of us and now look. Our school is now the most hated place to be. It's going to take years to recover."

"Not only our school Dash but my family and Rarity's family. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle took things to another level. We're lucky that Chrysalis didn't take them away and lock them up for committing serious crimes of the state. We're lucky that we still have each other. If this Princess Celestia came instead of Twi, we would never be talking about this right now. She would have scorched all life here as we know it."

"Yea...luck. Luck that our school's internet has changed. The wifi here sucks. We're being watched by our every move here in the school. It feels like we're in prison! I can't even participate on the soccer team! I received a punishment of a lifetime. Also, I now have a flip phone instead of my smartphone!" Rainbow shouted.

"We all do and in a way, we deserved it. If you think you got it bad then guess what, I can show you the scars from Granny's Bamboo Belt! I can't even enjoy sitting down and relaxing for the next 6 months!" Applejack stated.

"My career has been put to a halt for the rest of the school year. I have to wait until next school year to resume. What's worse, I can't even spend the time to design anything new. My workshop closed. I won't be able to make my money or impress anyone. I too have to suffer Dash. It isn't about you! Rarity shouted.

"Girls calm down. We don't need to get into a heated argument here. We can't afford to lose another friend in a crisis like this." Fluttershy said.

"I'll have to agree with Fluttershy on this one. How much more are we going to lose?" Pinkie asked.

"A lot more! Didn't your parents forbade you from eating any sugary treats?!" Rainbow questioned.

"Yea... they came home drunk after losing money gambling. The family punishment no matter how its given is final. No, take backs whatsoever. Also, I am not allowed to help the Cakes. That's a real kick in the teeth if you ask me..." Pinkie said lowering her head.

"Angel bunny was taken to the zoo. If I can't trust a real friend in need then how can I trust someone who is the opposite of that? I trusted more ruthless people in my life than to listen to Sunset Shimmer. I'll get to have Angel back when summertime comes."

"Lucky you Fluttershy, you got the least punishment out of the rest of us here," Rainbow said in a bit of jealousy.

The girls sighed as the bell rang signaling them that class is about to start in 5 minutes. The girls went to their classes in the school. Around this time, one teacher went to the Apple Bloom's house and the other to Sweetie Belle's house. Ms.Cheerlie will be tutoring Sweetie Belle and Cranky Doodle will be at Apple Bloom's house. Every 3 days, the two teachers will switch houses as they teach everything necessary to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

Lunch break came and everyone in school wasn't talking as much as they used too. Several students are and they're doing something else to enlighten the school. The Rainbooms sat at their usual table talking among themselves.

"Today is longer than any other day. It feels like forever after my first 3 classes." Rainbow complained.

"I know, it doesn't feel right like it used to be." Applejack stated.

"Well, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle did bring tons of damages to our school. From Applejack to Flash Sentry to all of us...the girls really did a number on us along with most of the students in the school. Then the heavy burden of Chrysalis and her Changelings put fear in us. Then the very next day, the Nation Guards came to our school. That's terrifying enough, to say the least. Can't really expect anyone to feel any sort of joy and happiness knowing our school went down south over a case of cyberbullying." Pinkie stated.

"Please don't bring Chrysalis in this conversation Pinkie. I have nightmares of her taking Sweetie Belle away from me."

"She is quite terrifying when she needs to be. I don't think anyone would last 10 seconds in a fight against her." Fluttershy said.

"Well, Commander Sombra's presence made Chrysalis quiver in fear a little. I think he's the only one who could last 10 seconds against Chrysalis." Rainbow said.

"Speaking on Commander Sombra, Dash, were you able to get a hold of him about Scootaloo?" Applejack questioned.

"No, he placed a restraining order on me. Apparently, Scoots told him that I slapped her and ignored her during her depression so after all, I have done, he told me not to come within 50 yards. I can't even make a phone call or send an email to Scoots. I deserved it after leaving her hanging for a lot of reasons. There is a chance that I can still join the Equestrian Air Force but now I have to rethink my choices and decisions."

The girls sighed. Around this time, Apple Bloom and Cranky Doodle had a hard time with each other. Apple Bloom basically cursed out Cranky every time she got something wrong. Everything that Apple Bloom has done in her life leading up to today, she's done nothing but wrong. She messed up her sister's life, friendship, and the bond between family. She screwed up Scootaloo's family and house. She messed up everyone at school mentally. A voice clicked in her mind and never left her. Apple Bloom's new voice is demotic. It tells her no matter what she can do to fix something, it'll be a waste of time. She also has the scars to prove it. Sweetie Belle was far worse than Apple Bloom's situation. Not only did Ms.Cheerlie was present but an officer was there to make sure that Sweetie Belle doesn't commit suicide after her recent attempts. She feels that Rarity doesn't really love her and how everyone seems to hate her. Sweetie Belle's loneliness made her life difficult to bear with. All she wanted was her sister to spend time with, now Rarity is forced to do it as a punishment. Sweetie Belle can't look at Rarity the same knowing she messed up her sister's life, friendship and trust. Sweetie Belle feels she should just end everything knowing what she's done was passed. The guilt riding up. She doesn't deserve any happiness. She doesn't deserve Rarity's love nor her parents love. Just let her be and end everything so that way, she doesn't become a burden for anyone to worry. Ms.Cheerlie tried to make Sweetie Belle's education a bit more fun to get her going but it didn't work out like she had hoped. It'll take a bit more time due to Sweetie Belle's condition.

The day went by slow and the students of Canterlot High were free to go home. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie headed to Sugarcube Corner to try and ease themselves from a depressing first day back in school in the new year. Applejack and Rarity headed back home. Big Mac came to pick up Applejack in his truck. He even handed a list of chores for Applejack to do for the day before driving off. Hondo came in his car and picked up Rarity. As Big Mac and Hondo drove back to their homes, silence reigned. No one dared to speak after all that was happening in their family.

Big Mac dropped off Applejack behind the barn. She has to repaint the barn then pick out the apples in the southern orchard since Big Mac already picked from the northern, western, and eastern orchards. Big Mac went inside the Apple house to see Apple Bloom and Cranky Doodle. Cranky gave Big Mac a documentation on how Apple Bloom was behaving towards him then Cranky left to go home. Big Mac examines the document and saw Apple Bloom cursing Cranky out for everything she had wrong. Big Mac sighed and went to check on Apple Bloom.

"Apple Bloom, we need to talk."

"Go away asshole!" Apple Bloom shouted.

Big Mac can only sigh and he approached his little sister who is laying on her bed with another pack of ice on her bottom.

"Language young lady. Now please tell me from your perspective why you curse on Cranky Doodle. I know he can be a headache but that should not be a reason to curse at him."

"Everything I do is wrong! Everything! I can never do something right without feeling a bit happy! There now get the hell out of my room!"

"Apple Bloom I won't leave until I can find a way to..." Big Mac was cut off by taking a jab in his left eye by Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom is in no condition to reason with so he left Apple Bloom be. Big Mac headed towards the living room and relaxed for a bit.

Around that time, Ms.Cheerlie gave Hondo and Cookie a documentation on Sweetie Belle's behavior. She wished that Sweetie Belle wasn't suicidal so she can focus on her studies. Ms.Cheerlie left. The officer left as well. His shift is over now that the family is all here. Rarity went to Sweetie Belle's room to check on her.

"Sweetie Belle...I'm back...Can I come in?"

There was only silence but Rarity came in and was horrified. Sweetie Belle was hanging on a noose. Choking herself to death with shoelaces. Rarity quickly got under Sweetie Belle. Saving her from death.

"Mom! Dad! Get in here quick!"

Hondo and Cookie came in quickly and they were horrified to see Sweetie Belle on a noose made from shoelaces. Hondo cut the ties from the noose and Sweetie Belle is back to breathing once more.

"Why won't you let me die already?!" Sweetie Belle shouted.

"Sweetie Belle look at me! Look at us!" Rarity shouted back. "We love you and we're here for you. Killing yourself is not the way to go."

"It is. I messed up your life and mine. It's only deserving that I should end it, after all, I helped Anon-A-Miss kill Scootaloo's mom. I'm part of the cause."

Rarity hugged Sweetie Belle tightly. Crying and not letting her go.

"Hondo! How long do we have to wait goddammit!" Cookie demanded.

Hondo sighs. "Another 3 days honey. Zecora won't be back until her Everfree camping trip is over."

Cookie sighed. She and Hondo hugged Sweetie Belle letting her know that they truly care about her.

A few hours later, Applejack finished her chores for the day. She's tired and exhausted from today's work and school day. Applejack saw Big Mac with an eyepatch on the couch with Granny Smith.

"Did Apple Bloom hurt you, Big Mac?"

"Eeyup." Big Mac said with his arms crossed.

Applejack sighed. "I'll go see if there is something I can do."

"Good luck."

Applejack is now at the door of Apple Bloom's room. She knocked on it.

"Apple Bloom, we need to talk."

"Leave me alone asshole!" Apple Bloom shouted.

Applejack went inside the room anyway.

"You were bummed out that you wanted to spend time with me now you want to stay away from me. I know what you've done is all wrong but you do deserve a second chance in life. Please don't toss it away."

"Why bother, all you have done was tossed me aside. Now that I'm messed up like this, you want to be part of my life. You doing this out of pity. I don't want your pity bitch. I want you to leave me alone. All I can do is mess up. I screwed up my friend's life and yours by taking Sunset Shimmer away. You've taken me for granted and now look. I created Anon-A-Miss. I brought chaos in school. Because of me Applejack, Chrysalis showed up and even the National Guard. I'm a monster. Why pity a monster?"

"I made my mistakes Apple Bloom. I did toss you away to be with my friends and I'm sorry. All I can do now is fix my wrongdoings and make things right for the better. If I can do that then so can you."

"Get out of my room."

"I ain't leaving my little sis."

"You've done it once, you can do it again."

Applejack took it hard. She did leave Apple Bloom riding in the dust for months. Due to her actions, Apple Bloom listened to the darkness and the consequences have played out. Applejack kissed Apple Bloom on the head and left the room. She headed downstairs to talk with Granny and Big Mac.

"I saw something on tv last night. A commercial about helping Apple Bloom. There is a psychologist named Zecora. I believe she can help Apple Bloom in more ways that we can."

"How much it's going to cost us Applejack?" Granny asked.

"I don't know but it can really help Apple Bloom. We can't let her be like this forever."

"I'll make some calls tomorrow and see if we can find a right date for Zecora to see Apple Bloom."

"Thanks, Big Mac."

"No problem Applejack. Now if you excuse me," he flipped the channel "I have to watch Wrestling Federation tonight."

Applejack went to her room and fell asleep. Rarity slept in her sister's room. She's making sure that Sweetie Belle won't make another attempt to commit suicide. Fluttershy, Rainbow, and Pinkie all had a difficult time sleeping. The pain stood by them.

Tomorrow everyone hopes it can be a better day. The Apple family and Rarity's family hope that Zecora can be a blessing for both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Unknown to all of them, something else did happen in school today. A group of students who are trying to make a change in Canterlot High and so far with them, things are going in the right direction.

Zecora Comes Early! Terror Rising!

Morning has arrived. Rarity decided to stay home with Sweetie Belle due to her recent suicide attempt. Applejack decides to go to school. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy were already on their way. They are saddened by Sweetie Belle's attempt to take her own life away. A slowly crept terror watches over them and the devastation that Anon-A-Miss left behind. The girls don't know how to handle the situation. Perhaps Sunset Shimmer can offer advice and she can contact Twilight to find a way to solving this. Both of them are unable to help thanks to their actions. Sadness filled their hearts. This is the worst kind of a pain since their separation in ties of friendship years ago. Ms.Cheerlie won't be coming in to teach Sweetie Belle. Instead, she's going to help Cranky Doodle deal with Apple Bloom. Rarity is going to use her time to make things work with Sweetie Belle. Hopefully to show the tiniest sign of love to get her going.

Sweetie Belle refused to leave her room and Rarity stood by her to make sure things doesn't go wrong. Hondo and Cookie finally broke through letting Zecora know that her presence is needed. She'll be coming by with a friend to sort things out...hopefully. Hondo told Rarity and Sweetie Belle the good news about Zecora. Rarity gave an idea to Hondo to allow Applejack and Apple Bloom to come over. Apple Bloom was part of the bigger mess with Anon-A-Miss and the two are good friends in desperate need of help and bettering themselves in society. Hondo agreed and he'll call Big Mac and Granny to let them know to bring Apple Bloom and Applejack over. Instead of going at it alone, they'll do it together.

The day at Canterlot High is another hell hole day. Depression and sadness filled the air for Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. They didn't even bother to see what the group of students was even doing. They missed their friend Sunset Shimmer so much. They wished they can have a second chance at redemption. Making things right and be the better friends they were supposed to be. Some of the students are now blaming them for being the cause of Anon-A-Miss. A lot of freedoms stripped away because of two young preteens heading into their teenage year were jealous of them spending more time with Sunset Shimmer than them. The internet at school is limited. The smartphone policy that makes students hand it to their teachers. Some students in Canterlot High saw Chrysalis and now calling it Fear of Canterlot High. The feeling of being watched is very uncomfortable.

At the Apple house, Apple Bloom went stir-crazy. She threw her book at Cranky and cursed out Ms.Cheerlie every time she winds up getting an answer wrong. Apple Bloom is sick of being wrong, wrong, wrong! She is tired of being wrong for everything she's done. She ruined her life, her sister's life, her best friend's life because she was jealous. The voice that's in her head is tormenting her every second. Knowing how bad she really screwed up. It came to a point that Apple Bloom threw herself onto the floor screaming while holding her head. The voice laughed at her. Enjoying every inch of pain coming out of her.

Things at Rarity's house weren't easy either. Sweetie Belle screamed and held her head. She wanted to die. Let it be done. Be quick and painless. Rarity is hugging her sister. She didn't know what else to do. A voice came into Sweetie Belle's mind mocking her. It toyed with her feeding off the emotions. Hondo and Cookie came in and tried everything they can do to help Sweetie Belle but to no avail.

After school, Applejack received a message from Big Mac. He's on his way to pick her up. He has Apple Bloom and Granny Smith in the truck. Applejack was a bit happy to hear that Zecora will be able to help Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle but was concern about Apple Bloom's new behavior. Apple Bloom in the truck was in a sack to prevent her from hitting anyone. She has become violent as of late. Applejack sighed and Big Mac drove his truck to Rarity's house.

An hour later, Big Mac, Granny Smith, Hondo, Cookie, Applejack, Rarity, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle were waiting for Zecora's arrival. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stood away from each other. They didn't want to even look at each other. They cause the suffering to everyone. The voices are making things worse for them. Apple Bloom wants to go home and stay away from everything while Sweetie Belle just wants to die. Everyone sighed. They have never seen anything like this. Zecora came into the house. She went up to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. The others remained behind Zecora as she told them not to intrude. Things can become hectic if there are too many people in one area.

"I sense trouble in this room. What is wrong Apple Bloom?"

"I messed up everything in my life. I screwed Applejack's life and a friend of mine who isn't a friend anymore. I feel horrible you piece of shit! Didn't they tell you?!" Apple Bloom yelled.

Zecora remained calm as she has seen people like her before.

"Sweetie Belle, tell me why you are not well?"

"I became jealous of my sister Rarity spending more time with a friend of hers. She barely spends time with me. I wanted her to be more in my life but whenever I try to ask her to hang out with me, she tells me she'll do so another time but been like that for weeks straight. What pushed me over the edge was when Applejack here had a rough day thanks to Apple Bloom here with Anon-A-Miss. I decided to help Rarity create the best slumber party for her friends. I was hoping to see if I can tag along as well. She basically threw me out of her room and I resort to Anon-A-Miss by making the next day a living hell for her and the others. Things went down south when we were exposed and some students crossed the line killing my former best friend's mom in the process. I was so depressed and before Anon-A-Miss came, I wanted to kill myself. Now I just want my life to be over knowing that Rarity is only helping me because our mom and dad are forcing her to do so..."

Zecora stayed calm as ever. Taking the answer that Sweetie Belle showed and trying to come up with an idea. An exercise that can help the two. That is when Tree Hugger came in and she was wailing on the floor. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle wailed as well. Tree Hugger twitched and shook violently. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle passed out after wailing so much. Tree Hugger got up and smiled sinisterly. She walked next towards Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

"I should really thank you two for the meal. Your devastation that causes your world to end is rising. I can always count the hatred, the rage, and negativity you have deep down inside...Aaaaah!"

"Beware you evil folk! This water ain't no joke!" Zecora said splashing Holy Water on Tree Hugger.

"It buuuurns! It buuuuuuurns!!!"

The demon inside of Tree Hugger began to lose its grip on her. Zecora splashed more Holy Water on Tree Hugger. The demon levitated while dealing with the pain then it left the body with a final message.

"I will be back to finish what I started!"

Tree Hugger fell down hard. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle woke up after the demon left. Rarity and Applejack ran towards their sisters. Everyone couldn't believe what they just witnessed.

"Man I haven't been that scared since the Sirens transformed in demonic sirens enslaving the students at the school." Applejack said.

"Hush Applejack!" Rarity shouted.

"Oops."

Zecora now bit curious that Rarity and Applejack might have seen these type of forces. Something that their parents never mentioned on the phone.

"Now that the demon is no longer in possession, now its time for some confession." Zecora demanded.

Applejack and Rarity looked at each other and sighed.

"Alright, we'll tell you but please, don't let anyone else know about this," Rarity asked.

Zecora nodded in response. "Very well. Please tell."

2 hours have passed. Applejack and Rarity told Zecora everything there is to know about magic. How they fought magical beings from another dimension. How they had magic tools to defeat foes with uncontrollable power. How things went down south with the full story of Anon-A-Miss. Zecora is amazed by how these teenagers were able to defeat creatures of the unknown. She could learn a thing or two from them. After the full discussion, there was not much that she can do for Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. If the demon is not of this earth but perhaps from the other universe, then all she can do is give each of the families Holy Water in case the demon was to come back and drain both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Zecora and Tree Hugger left the house. More questions were added than answers. Applejack and Rarity hoped that this demon is from a fallen angel from Heaven. Nothing more or less. They don't need to deal with a magical threat now that Twilight strip all the magic from them before winter break. Could things not get any worse for them right?

The Apple family decided to go home. Apple Bloom doesn't have any signs of rage inside of her. Just sadness. No words came out of her mouth. No one can understand exactly what Apple Bloom is feeling especially not when a demon took her for a joy ride. Applejack decided to stay home with Apple Bloom for the rest of the week. She'll let Principal Celestia know what exactly has happened today.

Rarity decided to stay home this week. She'll call Principal Celestia to let her know what exactly went down in her household. She doesn't feel right leaving Sweetie Belle alone. Not after seeing a demonic possession. It terrified her that Sweetie Belle has suicide on her mind but now a demon can use her emotions for food. She needs to help Sweetie Belle find her happiness before she is consumed by darkness.

When Apple Bloom went into the bathroom to wash up at the very least, she saw the demon in the mirror. Having his claw on Apple Bloom's shoulder in the mirror.

"Don't be afraid my child. What you have done was justice."

"No...I...I...I made things worse."

"You made it better. You finally got what you wanted. That's all it matters."

Apple Bloom shed tears.

"I fucked up my life. My sister's life. Scootaloo's life."

"Scootaloo is having a blast. She is happy. Your sister, Applejack only used you. She's using you as an excuse to fix everything that went wrong. Once everything is settled, she'll walk away. Leaving you a second time for her friends. It happened once and like any other time...it'll happen a-gain."

"NO!" Apple Bloom shouted punching the mirror. The glass shattered. The demon is no longer in the mirror. Apple Bloom takes another good look at herself. The glass shard from the mirror cut up Apple Bloom's face a little. She began to cry and Applejack rushed into the bathroom. She broke down the door and saw what has happened to Apple Bloom. She seeing her little sister crying with blood on her face. Applejack hugged Apple Bloom.

At Rarity's house, Sweetie Belle is in her room. She actually allowed Rarity to come in and sleep with her for the night. Sweetie Belle didn't like the demon takeover one bit. She's more afraid of that than dying now. Sweetie Belle went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. As she grabbed the toothpaste from the mirror, she saw the demon right behind her. Her instincts kicked in as she looked back but it wasn't there. She looked at the mirror again and the demon stood in perfect place.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to help you. You know that killing yourself in front of people isn't the right thing to do right?"

"Why are you helping me?"

"If you want to end yourself, I suggest you do it when no one is either looking or allow me to take your place."

"No! I'm not allowing you to take possession of me."

"You may not have a choice with the bottle filled with pills in your hand."

"What are you talking abou...." she saw the bottle of pills and dropped them into the sink. "How did you..."

"I didn't. You did."

"I had toothpaste in my hands! Stop playing games!" Sweetie Belle pleaded covering her ears with her hands.

"Everything here is a reality. Your sister is only pitying you. Once you are all better, she'll toss you aside once more."

"She...she wouldn't..."

"She will. Has done it multiple times. It'll happen again as human nature fails to correct itself from repeating history."

"Rarity...hasn't left by my side...She is helping me get my smile back...she...."

"Only to have it stripped away when her career comes into play. Let's face it. Rarity is only doing this because she's bored and forced to be with you. Have you forgotten the punishment she received for Christmas?"

Sweetie Belle began to breathe heavily. She didn't want to hear anything the demon had to say but she is having a hard time breathing.

"Oh dear...looks like someone slipped some pills down her throat."

Eyes widen from Sweetie Belle's face. She didn't remember putting anything into her mouth but it made sense to why her breathing has become heavy. The demon smiled as Sweetie Belle passed out. She fell hard on the floor. Rarity was getting a bit worried so she decided to check on Sweetie Belle. When she came in, she instantly called 911. Sweetie Belle is holding the bottle of pills in her hands. The demon smiled through the mirror as it left.

15 minutes later, the EMT's came and took Sweetie Belle to Canterlot Hospital. Rarity went with them but was told to stay in the waiting hall.

After 2 hours of waiting, Rarity is outside in the waiting room. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash barged through the waiting hall. They were worried about Sweetie Belle. Rarity told the girls about what has happened today. Fear struck their hearts not wanting to deal with a magical problem in a crisis like this. Nurse Redheart came out of the room.

"Please tell me if my sister going to be alright!" Rarity shouted in tears.

"Sweetie Belle is going to be fine. She gave the doc quite a scare but we were able to neutralize the pill's symptoms to a minor level. Sweetie Belle will have to stay here for the next 3 days before leaving. We have to make sure that her breathing is stabilized. To make sure that there aren't any setbacks whatsoever."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!" Rarity said hugging Nurse Redheart.

"You're welcome but Sweetie Belle will be brought into a different room and visiting hours will start tomorrow morning at 7. You are welcome to stay here however, we have no beds for you or your friends." Redheart said as she walked away.

"Uh Pinkie, do you have your party cannon?" Rarity asked.

"Yea I do but you know that I'm not allowed to throw any parties."

"I know but what about shooting some sleeping bags. I'm going to need it for the night."

"Yea, I have ammo for sleeping bags. You want us to stay with you?"

"Yes. It'll help calm me down a little. I've been stressed too much as it is. Especially with today's little fiasco."

"Alright Rarity." Pinkie shot sleeping bags out of her party cannon. The girls got comfortable knowing that in the morning, they'll be able to see a healthy Sweetie Belle. The girls fell asleep in the waiting hall as Sweetie Belle opened her eyes.

"Thank you for an easy access to your body. Now I can truly begin to gain my power in strength once more."

Dark Forces! Another Demonic Possession!

Today's a new day for Sweetie Belle. She's home after a dreadful day at the hospital. She is up bright an early as she grabbed her laptop and begin to take notes online about certain rituals and usage of the pentagram. Rarity is still asleep on the bed with her blindfold on. Sweetie Belle found an interesting book that's near the library. She put her laptop away as Rarity showed signs of waking up. Rarity removed her blindfold to see Sweetie Belle smiling for the first time in a long time. Maybe today she's taking the first steps to move on with her life by forgiving herself.

Around that same time, Apple Bloom got out of bed and went into the bathroom. Yesterday became one of Apple Bloom's most horrid day. She saw things that the other Apples couldn't see. The demon lurking behind every shadow she comes across on. Taunting her, mocking her, whispering secrets that she doesn't want to hear. The demon even turned itself into Sunset Shimmer to mock Apple Bloom for her attempts to ruin her life for the sake of being with Applejack. After seeing Zecora the other day then inflicting pain on herself, Apple Bloom couldn't grasp anything anymore. Suicide is on her mind but the demon forbade her from doing so. Apple Bloom saw herself in the makeshift mirror Big Mac made and saw the demon once more.

"Nice to see you again Apple Bloom. What's in today's chapter of your life? Suicide? Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Yelling and Screaming like a crazy person?"

"Why don't ya leave me alone?!"

"I would if I could but I'm part of you. The darkness that came to your mind from the day Anon-A-Miss was born."

"I'm past that now! I ruined everything and it's time that I forget all that!"

"Forget? No no, it's time to embrace what's hidden inside. Your desire for justice, love, and togetherness. That's what is all about. You have that now but you want it gone? Why?"

"I fucked up. I truly fucked up! My friends, my sister, the lives that were corrupted! I destroyed friendships! I destroyed the bonds between family and friends! I just wanted Applejack back and now look at me! I'm nothing more than a fucking idiot!"

"Your not an idiot. You're brilliant. You created something worth fighting for. Now you have it. Applejack will never leave you until your better. After that when things aren't right with you, you can do it all over again."

"I won't!"

"You will." The demon grabbed Apple Bloom's shoulders. "I can taste it deep down inside of you. You're waiting for another opportunity to strike. A reason to hate more than love. Deep down you enjoyed inflicting pain on everyone. The betrayals, the laughter, the mocking, the dishonesty, the cruelty, and lastly, the discrimination of everyone with sisters that share a better bond than you."

"Get out!"

"What was that? You want to slice your throat open with that knife in your hand?"

"What kni.....aaaaah!" Apple Bloom dropped the knife in her hand. She freaked out and looked at the mirror.

"You finally noticed. Here I thought your gonna do it. End your life. Be away from your family that loves you even for the wrong you've done."

Apple Bloom panicked. She ran from the bathroom and ran downstairs. The demon smiled but when Apple Bloom tripped, she fell down the stairs and the knife penetrated through her stomach sending out a painful cry.

"Oops, I forgot to take the knife out of the other hand." The demon laughed as it walked away from the mirror.

Applejack and Big Mac came rushing. They were horrified to see Apple Bloom bleeding crazy. Big Mac lifted Apple Bloom who screamed in pain and drove her to the hospital. Applejack told Granny what has happened. Then Applejack to a cab going to Canterlot Hospital.

An hour later, Apple Bloom is in the ER getting stitches. Big Mac and Applejack stood outside the room waiting to see how Apple Bloom is doing. Nurse Redheart came out of the room.

"Apple Bloom will be alright. She lost a lot of blood but we were able to neutralize the bleeding and stitched up her body. She'll be transferring to room 18 in the next hour. Doc, want to see her now so that's why it'll take you two another hour to see her."

"Alright, thanks Redheart."

"I wonder why and how Apple Bloom got that knife in her hand." Big Mac said.

"I wish I knew Big Mac. She has been acting very strange since this Tree Hugger was possessed by a demon."

"You don't think that the same demon can be controlling our little sis do you?"

"I hope not Big Mac. That is the last thing I want to encounter now that I don't have any magic to defend our family against a demon especially if it comes from Equestria."

In room 18, Apple Bloom's eyes opened up but they were red.

"Thank you for your services. Your will is now broken. Your body is mine. I will carry out the justice to bring this world to their knees. Thank you, Apple Bloom, for the inspiration..."

Doctor Bones came into the room to check on Apple Bloom. The demon now controlling Apple Bloom blinked once so he can remain in control while using Apple Bloom's voice in disguise. The eyes of Apple Bloom were mildly red. Just good enough to remain control of Apple Bloom's will.

"Hello, Apple Bloom. My name is Doctor Bones. I will examine you for the time being. To make sure you are all set before going back home later today."

"Thanks, Doc and please, take as much time as you need." Demon Bloom said.

"I will."

For the next 25 minutes, Bones made a report on Apple Bloom's condition. After his time in the room, he left signaling Applejack and Big Mac to come into the room. They came in and saw Apple Bloom smiling like nothing has happened.

"Doctor Bones, how is my sister Apple Bloom doing?" Applejack asked.

"She's doing quite well. Most people who take a stab wound in the stomach would still be agonizing in pain but it looks like she doesn't have much affection to pain as I thought. Also, there are scars on her bottom."

"Oh that, those scars from her bun are from our Granny for discipline reasons." Applejack said sweating a bit.

"I see, well then my work here is done. I just have to fill out some paperwork and she'll be eligible to leave. However, she needs to have better nutrition than just apples to ease up her stomach and intestines."

"Alright Doc, I'll make sure of that." Big Mac said.

Doctor Bones left the room allowing Big Mac and Applejack to be with their sister alone.

"Apple Bloom, what in God's name were you doing with a knife in your hand?" Big Mac asked.

"I found it upstairs in the bathroom and figured that I should give it back to you but then I had a miss-footing and well, here I am." Apple Bloom said showing a nervous smile.

Applejack and Big Mac were caught off guard by the smile they saw from Apple Bloom. She hasn't smiled like that or smiled in any way since Diamond Tiara getting caught by Chrysalis. It left a disgusting taste in Applejack's mouth for thinking of Chrysalis.

"Alright, sis...Well..just make sure that it doesn't happen again alright?"

"Ugh, fine. I'll make sure to leave things that are sharp enough where they're at."

"Thanks."

Applejack and Big Mac hugged Apple Bloom. Then they left the room to discuss an important matter.

"I'll be coming for you soon. All of you must suffer for justice."

10 minutes, there was a knock at the door of Hondo's and Cookie's house. Hondo opened the door and saw Doctor Radiant Hope and her assistant Blaze. Hondo had a weird expression on his face.

"Who are you, sir?"

"My name is Blaze. I'm a Demon Slayer and if there are demons lurking here, I'll be able to fight them off. I'm better than Zecora in every way but unlike her, I don't use that pathetic water. I have my blade right here enriched with enchantments of the order."

"Order of what?"

"Ordo Ab Chao"

"Order out of Chaos?"

"Yes, there is hidden magic within this blade as it has been passed down from generations when dealing with Demons. My family's history is based on exorcisms and liberations. It can handle any demon from hell and earth. It doesn't matter how powerful unless the demon has the light which is impossible."

"Wow."

"Yea, wow."

"Excuse me," Hope interrupted, "Where is Sweetie Belle?"

"Upstairs in her room. She should be laying in bed watching a video online. I couldn't let her be without internet now that she's on suicide watch."

"Thanks for the added information. Now please, sign your name here so I can begin my work."

"And mine in case the demon is here."

"Oh there was a demon in our household but we're not sure and believe that our Sweetie Belle is not possessed by one."

"I'll be the judge of that."

Hope and Blaze went upstairs and entered Sweetie Belle's room. She sat up on her bed and glanced at Blaze.

"Who the guy behind you hope?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"My name is Blaze. I'm a Demon Slayer."

Sweetie Belle twitched a bit.

"Blaze..."

"There is definitely a lot of energy in this room Hope. It ain't good either. I do sense a powerful demon lurking through her."

"Uh, could it just be the demon that was here the day before ago?"

"Possibly but unlikely. Demonic forces hold on to something precious to them. Making it harder to let go."

Hope shook her head and went up to Sweetie Belle.

"Now, how is your breathing?"

"Fine Hope."

Hope looked at Sweetie Belle. Staring at her for mere seconds before getting back to work.

"So nothing wrong since yesterday?" Hope said checking her lungs and heartbeat.

"Nope. So are you done now?"

"Not yet."

"Oh c'mon, I have to get back to my studies!"

"Studies? What are you studying about?" Blaze asked.

"I don't have to answer that question." Sweetie Belle said.

"Hmm..."

Blaze got up and walked closer to Sweetie Belle's bed which caused her to shake a bit. Her heartbeat is increasing and her breathing causing her trauma.

"Blaze, please, you're terrifying the young girl."

"Demons sometimes behave differently when being approached."

"I'm not possessed. I'm just scared."

"Scared of what? Getting caught?"

"Stop!" Hope shouted and standing up for Sweetie Belle.

"Leave me alone!"

Sweetie Belle got out of her bed but her laptop was exposed. Sweetie Belle ran down the stairs and hid behind Hondo. Blaze opened up the laptop to see something out of the ordinary.

"Hmm... There are bookmarks on dangerous websites. Why would she be getting into this crap?"

"What crap?" Hope asked.

"This," he handed Hope the laptop and was petrified to see sites about hell, demons, and black magic. "Maybe she's thinking about being Goth."

"Highly doubt that. If you excuse me, I have a demon to take down."

"How can you be so sure about her being possessed?"

"It's a family feeling."

Blaze went downstairs to find Sweetie Belle clinging onto Hondo's leg.

"I think you should get going Blaze. Hope can stay but you need to go."

"I'll go however my work isn't finished."

Blaze closed his eyes and pulled his sword out. It lights up "daemonium release"

Sweetie Belle wailed again for the second time this week. Hondo punched Blaze in the face to scaring Sweetie Belle. Hope came rushing down to check on Sweetie Belle. Blaze's eyes were closed as he continued.

"Daemonium præcipio, conferetis, quid tibi nomen est"

Sweetie Belle continued to wail but it's increasing. Her heart is rapidly beat to a point of having a heart attack. Windows were breaking, the house was shaking, and lights flickering. Blaze expected this kind of behavior. He opened his eyes and saw Sweetie Belle's eyes turned bright red. She was smiling. Hope couldn't believe what she was witnessing.

"My name is Ne. Welcome to Hell!"

Sweetie Belle lunged herself at Blaze but he dodged her. When he turned around to see Sweetie Belle, her head twisted and she crawled on all 4. Blaze went ahead and sliced at Sweetie Belle but to no avail. She jumped up and landed on the ceiling. Then she rapidly moved towards her room to read all the notes and sites she visiting about the pentagram and it's usage for opening gateways to hell. Blaze went after her but was caught off guard by Hondo.

"Please...Don't hurt my little girl..."

"I'm not making promises as this demon is up to something. I have to stop it by all means."

Blaze ran but Hondo made it harder for him to maneuver. It came to a point that Blaze returned the favor by punching Hondo in the face causing him to fall backward.

"You'll thank me later!"

Blaze knocked down the door as he saw Sweetie Belle with her laptop. Her head once more turned to stare at Blaze.

"Try and stop me boy!"

Sweetie Belle jumped out of the window. When Blaze went to inspect on Sweetie Belle's landing position, she was nowhere to be found. It's like she vanished without a trace.

"Sweetie Belle?!" Hondo yelled as he came into the room spitting out some blood.

"Long gone thanks to you. The energy in this room is already fading away. Therefore, it's now harder to find another trace of demonic energy to track. Thanks a lot, dipshit."

Blaze walked past Hondo shoulder bumping into him. Blaze went down the stairs to check on Hope.

"You alright?"

"Yea...just freaked out..."

"Don't tell Sombra what you've just witnessed. I'll tell him. You are not going back to work for the next 3 months. It'll be long enough to get the thought of a demon out of your head."

"Okay then," Hope said.

"Go home. I'll be there soon. Now my investigation will begin by putting the pieces together."

Hope left the house and she drove back home. Rarity and Cookie came back home with food for the week. Hondo came down the stairs as he spat out more blood.

"Dad!" Rarity shouted.

"Hondo!" Cookie shouted.

They both went up to him.

"Did this barbarian hurt you dad?"

"This so-called barbarian is pissed," Blaze walked up to them. "This dumb motherfucker ruined my work that was supposed to cleanse Sweetie Belle from a demonic possession."

"What?!" Rarity and Cookie shouted.

Hondo could only look down on himself.

"I've seen what Sweetie Belle was reading on her laptop. It turns out to be something demons are always interested in doing. Bringing Hell on Earth. The demon's name is Ne. He may have found a way to destroy our world as we know."

Silence reigned. Hondo is sad and mad at himself for following his father instincts for protecting his child. Cookie didn't want a demon to bring the world to an end and Rarity doesn't want to go through yet another magical problem.

"Someone here is going to tell me what may have caused a demon to go after someone like her." Blaze said breaking the ice.

"What do you mean? You are the expert." Cookie said.

"I am but for a demon to possess a person, there have to be some trauma or a leading cause that left devastation in its path."

Rarity went up to Blaze and told him everything that Sweetie Belle has done. What she has done as well along with the rise and fall of Anon-A-Miss.

45 minutes later after a full explanation.

"You mean to tell me that she was part of the cause that led your school into hell. That led to many manipulations, division, and even death."

Rarity sighed. "Yes."

"Yea, that'll do it. Ne found a host and since your telling me about this whole Anon-A-Miss ordeal, then I need to pay a visit to the Apple family. For now, I'll be taking her laptop."

".........Alright then......" Rarity said. She went upstairs and grabbed Sweetie Belle's laptop and brought it down. "Here you go..." She handed Blaze the laptop. "Promise me that Sweetie Belle will be saved."

"I can't make promises but I'll try to save her at the least. I would have if it weren't for your dumb ass father."

Hondo could only look down on himself. He can't make eye contact at Blaze for his mistake.

"What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to make an attempt to cleanse Apple Bloom. She has to be possessed as well. Just like Sweetie Belle. Then I'll take a look at Scootaloo."

"Hope said that Scootaloo's happy. Everything going right with her so far."

"Sometimes, it may not matter. Give the Apples a heads up that a Demon Slayer is on his way to check on Apple Bloom free of charge."

"Ugh, I don't think they'll like to hear Demon Slayer."

"You tell them what just happened to Sweetie Belle and the reason why I'm coming. That's all you gotta do."

"Alright then." Rarity grabbed her phone and called Applejack.

"Thanks." Blaze walked out of the house and called a cab since Hope was his ride.

Blaze decided to go to the library nearby to do some research. Rarity hung up her phone. Applejack wasn't pleased with the idea of a Demon Slayer visiting. Big Mac and Granny didn't like it either but they have to let him in after what has happened to Sweetie Belle. To make sure she isn't following her friend's footsteps. After a few hours of research, it came clear for the Demon's purposes. To bring an apocalypse. A gateway to hell for demons to consume all life. Either to enslave all of humanity or destroy it. Either way, Blaze is going to bring down the demon at any costs.

3 hours later, Blaze is now at Sweet Apple Acres. He's at the door waiting. Big Mac opened the door and allowed Blaze to come in. Blaze can sense the energy of another demon lurking but for now, he remained silent. He sat down on a chair in the living room not making a sound.

"I'll get Apple Bloom," Applejack said heading up the stairs. "Weirdo."

"So this is the circle Ne was talking about."

There is a pentagram covered with blood on the ceiling. Demon Bloom smiled. Then Applejack knocked on the door which caused the pentagram to vanish thus turning the ceiling color into red. Applejack peeped in to see Apple Bloom with a paintbrush and red paint.

"Sugarcube, what are you doing?"

"I thought that I should do a little redecorating in my room."

"Why red?"

"It's the color for apples silly."

Applejack had a cringed look on her face. A while ago she saw Apple Bloom in the break of violence and self-inflicting and now just acting like nothing has happened.

"Something wrong sis?"

Applejack shook her head.

"Apple Bloom, we have a visitor and he would like to see you. "

"Is it Sombra and did he brought Scootaloo with him."

"No, but someone who may know her."

"Alright, I'm coming down."

Applejack stretched the truth a little. She's not sure if Blaze even knows about Scootaloo, however, it worked as Apple Bloom is convinced to see the visitor downstairs. When the two headed downstairs, the pentagram reappeared. Freshly made with a new scent of blood. The pentagram dripped blood which causes the blood to scatter, creating a new pentagram on the floor. On the walls, cryptic symbols, ancient letterings and chants formed. Sweetie Belle appeared in the room wearing a black cloak. The right side of her face is visible while the left side has horns, a red eye, a cryptic symbol and blue blood oozing from her mouth. She used her magic to create a silencing circle to start a ritual.

Blaze stayed silent. He was meditating on the demon's next move. Applejack and Apple Bloom are now in the living room. The entire family is now present. Blaze opened his eyes.

"So, this is Apple Bloom."

"Yea, that's me. Why are you here and why you want to see me?"

"You're friend Sweetie Belle is possessed by a demon known as Ne. I want to check and see if you are not possessed by one."

"Why would I be possessed?"

"Demons loves hatred more than anything else. They don't feed on love. Whatever love may be left inside someone is normally easy prey. You are the creator of Anon-A-Miss. Chances are, a stronger demon would come for you."

"Wow, thanks for checking on me. Now I can get going."

Apple Bloom left the living room for a split second before Blaze called her. She turned to make eye contact with him.

"What is it?"

"What are you doing?"

"Hey, I asked you first, don't try to answer a question with another question."

"You're hiding something."

"I am not!"

"Yes, you are. One thing that I've seen over the past 15 years of doing this, demons have their way to sneak out of a situation when things are troubling them."

"What proof do you have?!"

"You're eyes are mildly red. Behavior is different. No sane person can change that quickly"

Apple Bloom glared at Blaze as he remained calm. Apple Bloom's eyes bother her a little which she used as a distraction.

"My eyes are red because the blood vessels in them popped a little. I can't be here anymore and I want to be alone!"

Apple Bloom stomped her way back up her room. Blaze didn't buy it one bit.

"There is something I do have for you three."

Blaze gave the Applejack, Big Mac, and Granny Smith salt.

"Seriously, you giving us salt?" Big Mac said.

"Yes, salt has magical properties when dealing with forces of evil. It also presents the truth when the time is needed."

"But, we have tons of salt in the kitchen," Granny said.

"That salt is made for cooking. The salt I'm giving you should never be used for cooking by any means necessary and unnecessary. It'll kill the victim along with the demon inside since salt can contain them."

Eyes widen for the Apple family. They were given a powerful substance. Applejack felt sick to her stomach. She winds up throwing up.

"Applejack!" Big Mac and Granny shouted.

"What is happening to...." Applejack continues to vomit out of control.

Blaze looked and texted 911 to come to his location. He then went up the stairs to find Apple Bloom's room. Demon Bloom and Sweetie Belle heard Blaze's footsteps so they both used a chaotic spell to have everything but the furniture visible. Sweetie Belle cloaked herself to match the shadows of Apple Bloom's room. Blaze found the room and walked in.

"Hey! That's breaking and entering!" Apple Bloom shouted.

"I sensed something up here. I have my rights to investigate the situation at hand. I'll even give you my lawyer's number so she can talk things through to you."

Blaze felt the strongest demonic force in this one room alone. Not even an abandoned insane asylum has this kind of presence. Blazed observed the room thoroughly. He saw what he needed to see and left the room peacefully.

Applejack passed out after vomiting so much. The EMT's came and picked her up. She'll be going to Canterlot Hospital. Big Mac told Granny to stay with Apple Bloom. Blaze left the house and called a cab to take him to Sombra's house. Granny yelled to Apple Bloom that her sister is going to a hospital and that Big Mac is going with her. She also told Apple Bloom that she'll be taking a nap on her bed. Apple Bloom is free to do her work with Ne. Sweetie Belle came out of the shadows and removed her cloak revealing that she has markings and messages throughout her entire body.

"Let's begin Demon Bloom." Ne offers her hand.

"Yes, we shall." Demon Bloom grabbed Ne's hand and began a worship ritual.

The day went by pretty horrifying for the Apple family, Rarity and her family as well. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom are both possessed by demons. For reasons unknown, Blaze had a moment of opportunity to strike at Apple Bloom but didn't take it. He knows exactly what they are planning but needs to see if they can complete their mission without Scootaloo. If they can't possess Scootaloo, it'll be worthless to their objective. The demons had their fun with their new bodies. Learning all sorts of darkness and evil on the internet. All that's left to do is pick off the rest of the Rainbooms for total control. The demons can sense the hidden magic in Applejack and Rarity. Knowing that Twilight stripped it away, something else is left behind that's planted deep down inside. It's powerful enough to reawaken the magic that the demons can devour. All Blaze can do is to find Scootaloo, talk with her and plan out the next case of action...

Archfiend Rituals! Party! Reality of the Situation!

Author's Note

The rituals start and blood is shed. The Apples will be in deep trouble while Rainbow, Pinkie, and Fluttershy get excited about tonight's party.

Comment if you please.

Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Have a nice day/night reading.

Archfiend Rituals! Party! Reality of the Situation!

This whole week has been messed up for Applejack and Rarity. They had to suffer about their sister's situations. They both went to the hospital, then they were visited by a Demon Slayer later in the week. Applejack and Rarity hoped that they are not dealing with an enemy from Equestria when Twilight shutdown the portal. Hoping it is none other than fallen angels from heaven. Things weren't easy for Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy. While they heard the situations of their friends and family, they too have been suffering. Each of their parents gave them harsh punishments thus making them feel like they are not themselves. Pinkie Pie is going through a tough stretch of no sweets. It's causing her to go near pure insanity. Six months of no sugary treats is a nightmare and it hasn't even been a month. Rainbow Dash is unable to feel like her sporty self. Unable to go to the Blue Pegasus Parade and unable to play soccer for the rest of the school year. Fluttershy is feeling more depressed than ever. She had to let go of Angel for a year. As Rarity and Applejack will be staying home for the rest of the week, the rest of the Rainbooms gathered their things and head off to school. It's going to be another rough day for them.

It is now 7:15 in the morning. Rainbow Dash met up with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie at the bleachers once more. Silence reign for a few moments until Pinkie broke the ice.

"Ok, I know that things haven't been bright since the new year but for a lot of goodness to happen for us, something bad must happen. I guess this is bad we all have to endure huh?"

"No offense Pinkie but that sounds lame. This new year has been nothing but dreadful and misery. Sunset Shimmer...gone... Scootaloo...transferred...Our magic to allow ourselves to pony-up...stripped away by Twilight herself. We deserved it after giving Sunset a hard time and ignoring the CMC. Even I take responsibility for ignoring and hurting Scootaloo. Let's face it Pinkie. We are screwed without magic and without our friend Sunset Shimmer."

"Ex-friend Rainbow. We got rid of her before Anon-A-Miss was eventually caught."

Rainbow sighs heavily. "I know Pinkie. Please don't bring Anon-A-Miss back into the conversation. Despite Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle getting caught and getting expelled, Anon-A-Miss is still haunting me in my dreams."

"You too?" Fluttershy said. "I thought I was the only one having nightmares about Anon-A-Miss."

"Same with me. Anon-A-Miss made Sunset Shimmer take my soul away! Then dump me in a salt place instead of a sugar factory. It tasted so nasty."

"You think that's bad Pinkie. Anon-A-Miss took away everything that defines who I am. Then my body was disintegrating. When I woke up, it felt like half of me was already dead on the inside."

"Anon-A-Miss took all my pets away. Then she tied me up and left me in a desert. Snakes and vultures came and....ate me alive. When I woke up, I felt that half of my body was paralyzed for a few moments before using my strength to get up fully. Each nightmare has been getting worse. I'm afraid of sleeping." Fluttershy covers her face and cried into her hands. "It's just not fair. I wish I could have listened to Sunset Shimmer. Why or why I had to ignore her!

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash comfort Fluttershy as she cried. The emotional stress is too much for Fluttershy.

"I know how you feel Flutters. It's not easy but in time, we'll get over it...somehow."

"Yea and maybe we can go check out that party that's happening tonight."

"Party? What party Pinkie?" Both Fluttershy and Rainbow questioned.

"I'm not the one who's throwing a party but some students in the school is throwing a party to unite the school. To bring some of the energy back that was taken away by...bad actions and stupid mistakes." Pinkie tried her best to not mention Anon-A-Miss to Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy as they both don't want to hear it.

"I guess we should right. Maybe it can help us get over the past and focus on the future." Rainbow exclaimed.

"Yea...It'll be wonderful" Fluttershy said.

"Then it's settled. The three of us go out and party."

They hugged each other and headed to school.

25 minutes later, the girls went to their separate classes and around that same time, Apple Bloom has woken up from her slumber. She met up with Ne in her room. Apple Bloom's room has tons of blood, feces, and bones with cryptic symbols and pentagrams to go around. Having Blaze come over yesterday was very difficult for Ne and Demon Bloom. Their work was interrupted and the fear Blaze brought was unnerving for them. Blaze came close to killing Ne yesterday but Hondo got in the way and stopped him from doing so thus allowing Ne to finalize the needed chants and rituals to bring Hell on Earth.

Demon Bloom is now cutting herself for blood so she can begin the Archfiend Ritual. The Archfiend Ritual allows Ne and Demon Bloom to open one of the six seals of Hell to unleash all sorts of demons. It takes time and endurance as Ne and Demon Bloom has to navigate the darkness of body and soul into the gates of Hell. Ne is the eyes while Demon Bloom is the ears for the ritual. As they were about to begin, they were interrupted by Big Mac.

"Apple Bloom, it's time for breakfast. Come on down and eat."

Demon Bloom does her best impersonation as Apple Bloom.

"Not now Big Mac! I'm busy making changes to myself and my room!"

Big Mac felt happy when he heard the youngest sister starting to become a new person.

"Alright Apple Bloom, I'll leave your food by the door."

Big Mac left Apple Bloom be as he went downstairs to chow down.

An hour goes by as Ne and Demon Bloom finished their chanting. Now they are navigating their eternal darkness from the body and soul into one of the gates of Hell. As they were making process, Apple Bloom's room began to shake and twist in all sorts of directions. Outside of the house and all the other rooms in weren't affected by the effects of the Archfiend Ritual. A dark entity observed the room as Ne and Demon Bloom navigated the spirit. Ne and Demon Bloom moved in various directions as the dark entity made its way into a pentagram marking on the ceiling thus completing the ritual. One down five to go.

"Alright Demon Bloom, now we have to make an animal sacrifice."

"Good thing this farm has tons of animals. Let's start with the pig."

The two smiled at each other. Ne jumped out of the window when no one was looking or around and ran straight towards the barn and grabbed a sleeping pig. Ne lifted the 300-pound pig and came back to the room without anyone noticing once more. Demon Bloom grabbed some rope to tie the pig down. Demon Bloom gagged the pig so it won't squeal loud for anyone in the household to hear. Ne drew satanic markings on the pig's stomach thus creating a portal for the second dark entity to enter their world. The two began to chant as the pig began to freak out in the process. Demon Bloom cut open the pig's throat and removed the eyes as part of the second ritual. Ne started the chant which caused the room to shake once more. Like the last ritual, all the other rooms and the house were not affected by it. Moments within, the pig's stomach exploded as a second dark entity emerge. Demon Bloom closed her eyes and navigated the spirit around. The spirit found a pentagram by the window and entered through there. Two down four to go.

10 minutes later, Big Mac came back upstairs and he can smell blood coming from Apple Bloom's room.

"Apple Bloom, what are you doing in there?"

"Cleaning up Big Mac. I accidentally cut myself in the process."

"Doing what exactly?" Big Mac getting ready to open the door.

"While uh...cleaning up, I wanted to make a welcome back present for uh..Applejack..and I got a bit carried away...I cut myself by accident with the knife cause uh...I couldn't find the....scissors..."

"That's a huge scent of blood coming from a cut. I'm coming in."

Big Mac is trying to get in but the door is locked. Ne has a baseball bat in his hands. Aiming for the head when he enters the room. Granny Smith told Big Mac last second that she'll be seeing Applejack at the hospital. Big Mac got quite upset that the door is locked but he used his power and broke the door getting in. As he got in, Ne swung the bat at Big Mac, knocking him out cold.

"Sorry big bro. You'll have to do for the third ritual."

Demon Bloom grabs a chair as Ne used his magic to repair the door and seal it up tight. Demon Bloom tied up Big Mac on the chair.

"We have to wait until he's awake. That is when the third phase of the ritual can begin."

Ne and Demon Bloom waited. Around that same time, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy made their way towards the cafeteria. They saw a group entering the gymnasium with a do not enter sign meaning that the party is getting set up as we speak. As the girls sat at their usual spot, others in the cafeteria were talking like they used too.

"Hmm, seems that everyone is starting to be like themselves again." Pinkie said.

"Yeah! There's a group in the school that's been helping others set aside their differences during the hell we all went through. The uh..."

"Changelings," Trixie said which scared the crap out of Rainbow Dash.

"Wha-what?!" The Cybernetic Task Force is here setting up the party?!

Trixie rolled her eyes. "No, I along with several students in the school has joined the Changeling Guild. We are changing the mood and energy that Anon-A-Miss left behind. It's a way to lift our spirit for the upcoming Friendship Games coming in a while."

Eyes widen for Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. They have forgotten about the Friendship Games coming up.

"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I've forgotten about the Friendship Games!"

"So did I Rainbow Dash!"

"Well, that's why the party is being put together tonight. To unite everyone together and to remind them about the Friendship Games coming up. When we become a renewed school, then we can have enough spirit and energy to finally beat those punks from Crystal Prep."

"So that's why there's a party going on."

Trixie nodded.

"I wish I can help but I'm forbidden to help out with parties for the next 6 months."

"Sorry to hear Pinkie. Well, see you, girls, later."

Trixie left the table to meet up with Snips and Snails. They left the cafeteria.

"Pinkie, Fluttershy, we should help bring cheers tonight at the party when everyone realizes that the Friendship Games are coming. To have everyone on their feet. Turning differences aside and focus on the much bigger task at hand. By winning the Friendship Games, we can all be awesome!"

Fluttershy and Pinkie nodded in agreement.

"Sounds good Dashie."

After the agreement, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie left their tables and sat in different ones to chat with the other students. Hyping them up the best way they can for tonight.

27 minutes later, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy went to their classes. Around the same time, Big Mac is waking up. He's close to having a heart attack. Seeing the satanic symbols, pentagrams and a dead pig on the ground was too much for Big Mac to handle. He struggled hard but the bindings on the chair made it impossible to move. Big Mac saw his little sister ripping his shirt as Sweetie Belle made a pentagram on his stomach and several cryptic markings on his face and body.

"Ah-Apple Bloom...what are you doing?"

"Phase three of my ritual." Demon Bloom said in a darker tone.

Big Mac couldn't believe the voice that was spoken by his little sister. He now knows that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are now possessed. He wished that Blaze can come back but he hasn't shown since yesterday. Tensions are building up as Sweetie Belle made the final marks on Big Mac's body.

"Don't worry Big Mac, you'll live after this."

Big Mac screamed but no one can hear him. Granny is visiting Applejack. Big Mac continues to scream until help arrived but it did not.

"Let's begin Ne"

Ne and Demon Bloom started their chant. Big Mac continued to scream in hopes of interrupting the chant. The focus of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle but it did nothing. As the chant went on, Big Mac can feel his stomach bloating. It caused him to vomit. The vomit came out black. It's definitely the worst taste Big Mac ever felt. He doesn't remember eating anything blackish. He now knows it's coming from the ritual. His pleads to make it stop were to no avail as another dark entity came out of Big Mac's mouth. It clawed its way out which causes Big Mac to vomit some more. Big Mac saw the entity looking directly at him. Big Mac wanted to pass out and hope when he wakes up it's all a nightmare but when he bit his tongue, he realized that he is not dreaming. Everything he is witnessing is a reality.

"Good. Now we can direct this spirit to the other pentagram on the far right of the room."

Ne navigated the spirit to the third pentagram. As it entered, the house shook violently. Lights flickering on and off, the shadows of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle revealed one creature gazing at Big Mac. No more words were spoken from him as he wanted to go to his room and sleep. As the house stopped shaking, fire lit up the room.

"Phase three is completed. Three more to go." Sweetie Belle said.

"What's phase four?!" Big Mac shouted.

"The heart of a child."

Big Mac panicked frantically. He didn't like the idea of a child being sacrificed.

"You're insane! The both of you! You can't sacrifice a child!"

"Well that is why we're here."

"Yea, you get to choose which one of us gets to live."

Big Mac couldn't believe what he is hearing. Having to choose to either allow his sister to live or Rarity's sister to live is unbearable. He thought of an idea to stall time as he wonders on his decision. It didn't take long as the fire in the room made it harder to breathe. Big Mac coughs a lot as he was being pressured to choose. The smoke that's filling up his lungs made it difficult for him to think.

"I choose.....Apple...." Big Mac passed out.

"Sounds like he was choosing for Apple Bloom."

"Yea but it was nice messing around with him." Ne picks up the chair Big Mac is still tied on to.

"Put him in the barn and gag him. We still need a heart of a child for phase four to commence."

Ne took Big Mac in the bard. Gagged him and put a blindfold on him. Ne tied the chair to the pillars of the barn. Making sure that Big Mac doesn't know he's in the barn. Always making him guess. Ne even placed headphones on his ears and made him listen to dark music. Ne left the barn and locked it up. Ne came back as Demon Bloom decided that she would go for a walk. Demon Bloom left her house and went into town searching for any child wandering off.

An hour later, Granny Smith is still in the hospital watching Applejack in bed. Granny is saddened by what has happened to Applejack. She hasn't woken up since her trip to the hospital. Doctors couldn't figure out what was going on with Applejack. They never saw anything like this before. Granny Smith grabbed a phone book and found Blaze's number. She called him.

"This is Blaze, what's your situation."

"Blaze...this is Granny Smith from yesterday. Applejack hasn't woken up from yesterday's fiasco. Can you please come and see if it something uh superstitious."

"Sorry Granny, I’m handling a different situation. When I’m done here, I’ll check out Applejack for you.“

Granny sighs, “Thanks Blaze.” She hangs up her phone. “Applejack, get well. The family needs you."

Blaze saw Apple Bloom observing the park. Checking for other kids like her age or younger. He knows that Apple Bloom is up to something. In a matter of moments, Apple Bloom saw a kid wandering off and took the child. She lifted her up and ran like there’s no tomorrow. Blaze got in his car and drove. Following Apple Bloom all the way back to her house. Apple Bloom went inside her house and headed straight to her room. Blaze got out of his car but decided to go towards the window where Apple Bloom’s room would be and eavesdrop on their situation.

“You made sure that you weren’t followed right Demon Bloom?” Ne said.

”Of course, no one saw me. I ran fast enough to bring this one here.”

The child Demon Bloom brought back home is asleep. She has no idea what is happening. Just like the pig, Ne and Demon Bloom placed the child on a pentagram. NE drew satanic symbols all over the chest area. Blaze looked through the window and realized the ritual the two of them were performing. Archfiend Ritual. Blaze got into the room and held his sword.

“You two are finished!"

Ne and Demon Bloom froze in fear a little and turned to see Blaze.

”How did you know?”

“I saw you Apple Bloom or should I say Demon Bloom abduct the child. Are you two really that desperate to summon an archfiend in this world?"

“We’ll do what it takes Blaze!” Ne shouted.

“No, you won’t. Now that I have both of you here and this time, no one is coming to bail you out."

Demon Bloom and Ne stared at Blaze and charged at him.

”Get ready to be phase 5!”

Blaze ducked and slashed at Ne which cause Ne to burn in holy water and salt.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” Ne is now holding on as he feels pain unlike any other.

Blaze then slashed at Ne cutting his throat which caused him to bleed and fall over. Ne was losing control as the body is bleeding badly.

”I got you now!”

Demon Bloom used the knife and tried to jab Blaze in his eyes but fails miserably. Blaze dodge the attack and punched Demon Bloom in the gut. This gave Ne enough time to attack from behind but Blaze counterattack Ne with his sword. Blaze stabbed Ne in the heart and ripped it out of him.

“One down, one to go."

Blaze looked at Demon Bloom but what’s bothering him is her smile. Blaze turned around only to realize that a dark entity came out of Sweetie Belle’s body. It observed Blaze thoroughly and entered through a pentagram.

”Four down two to go.”

Blaze eyes widen that he just helped the demons complete phase four of the Archfiend Ritual.

”Phase 5, the blood of a holy one.”

Blaze held his sword now.

“Not a chance."

Demon Bloom and Blaze fought in the room. The fire that lit up the room is deceased. Without Ne, the fire had no energy source to build upon. Slashing after slashing in Apple Bloom’s room, neither of the two were able to get any blood on the floors.

An hour later, Granny returned and all she can hear is slashing upstairs. She figured that Apple Bloom is watching a movie on her laptop which caused Granny to shout.

“Apple Bloom! Lower the volume!"

Blaze heard Granny for a split second and that’s all it took for Demon Bloom cut Blaze’s neck which causes blood dripping. Blaze quickly cover his cut and cleaned up his blood but it was too late to clean up. His blood dripped to the floor which caused another Dark Entity to come out of Blaze’s mouth. It looked at him and went towards the pentagram on the ceiling.

”Five down, one to go.”

“Enough!”

Blaze grabbed Demon Bloom choking her. Granny heard all the commotion and went up the stairs. As she opened the door, she saw Blaze choking Apple Bloom.

”Help me Granny! Help me!” Demon Bloom said in the voice of Apple Bloom.

Blaze without hesitation apologized to Granny Smith and kicked her out of the room. Granny stumbled backward and fell back down the stairs. She landed on her neck which caused her to die.

”The final stage is completed.”

“What?!"

”Take the life of an innocent”

Granny Smith’s body lit up and levitated as the final dark entity came out of her mouth. It went upstairs in the room and entered the pentagram under Apple Bloom’s bed. The whole house shook violently. Blaze saw the pentagrams disappearing as the room changed. Fire rising up as a demon is taking form. Blaze threw Demon Bloom out of the room and stabbed the Demon with his sword. The sword did significant damage as the demon collapsed from its form. The gate that allowed it too transformed closed. Demon Bloom saw and enrage she yelled.

”You…You…You Bastard! I’ll kill you! You fucking bastard!”

Blaze heard Demon Bloom yell. As he turned, Demon Bloom jumped in the air only to have Blaze chopped her head off.

“Forgive me.” Blaze looked around and picked up the child who is still unconscious. “Sacrifice the few,” he stared at the bodies of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. "to save the many.” As he walked downstairs, Granny Smith remained on the floor. Motionless. Blaze didn’t feel right but he had to do what is best for the world. As he left the house and texted 911 for clean up at the barn, the two demon that came from the bodies of Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom merged.

”If you think it is over Blaze, then you are wrong. I, Nero the Necromancer will bring Hell on Earth. Even if it means taking control of another body to finalize the completion of the Archfiend transformation.”

Nero left the room and headed towards the barn. Big Mac continued to struggle in his bindings. Yelling in his gag.

”Don’t worry. Help is already here.”

Nero entered Big Mac’s body. He broke the bindings. In order to make sure that everything doesn’t seem too suspicious, he’ll pretend to be the man of the house until Applejack comes home. Then everything else will be settled.

It was at this time, the girls are on their way towards Canterlot High for the party. Everyone but Rarity and Applejack will be there. This is going to be a fun night for them...

Unexpected Meeting! Preparing for Tonight's Party!

Author's Note

This is how Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie's day went after school. They see familiar faces while trying to hype themselves for tonight's party. Some things are written from Tales of Scootaloo. What more can I say? The timeline is existant despite going through different scenarios. Sometimes leading towards the right direction but it's a no-brainer here.

Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Comment if you please.

Have a nice day/night reading.

You're awesome!

Unexpected Meeting! Preparing for Tonight's Party!

Now that Canterlot High dismissed everyone, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie decided to go to the mall to buy the best dresses for tonight since Rarity is in no condition to make dresses or even come at all. With the whole demonic possession and evilness in the mix along with Sweetie Belle's attempt with suicide was too much for Rarity. Applejack couldn't make it either. She had an accident which they will see her sometime today after the mall. As the bus pulled in front of the mall, they got off the bus and went to the first store they see. A music store. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie couldn't help but reflect on the good times they had playing music together. Forming the Rainbooms, saving everyone from the Sirens with the help of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer. Their smiles faded away as soon as they remembered them. They left the store and sat down at a bench nearby looking down.

"I can't believe we did that."

"I know Dashie but it can't be helped. The past is history and we need to move on."

"To better ourselves if we don't want to lose any more friends."

"Good point Fluttershy and Pinkie. I wish that we can take all of this away and have things back to the way they were."

"I know Dashie but we can't hold onto the past anymore. Like Hope said about Scootaloo, she moved on with her life and making the best of it. It's up to us now to follow along or get left behind."

"You sound like Sunset, Pinkie."

Pinkie took a deep breath after hearing Fluttershy comparing her to Sunset. She's trying to hold back tears and it worked.

"Let's go to another store and hopefully it can help us focus for the party tonight and the upcoming Friendship Games."

"Alright then." Both Pinkie and Fluttershy said.

As they went up the escalator they found a dress store which they needed. While exploring in the shop, Savvy Saddles called out to Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. The three of them approached.

"Just the three I needed to see. Rarity had designer outfits for you three and wanted to keep it a surprise when the new year came."

"She did?" Pinkie asked.

"Yes. Something was going on in school and she asked me to pick up her latest designs especially for you three. She told me that she gave the first two already to Applejack and Sunset Shimmer."

The girls cringed when hearing the name Sunset Shimmer as Savvy is talking.

"Something I said?"

"Just, some things happen and we need to move on. That's all." Rainbow said.

"Well, anyways, these dresses fit your style and it's free so here you go."

Savvy gave the girls their dresses for them to use for tonight's party.

"Thank you, Savvy. Hope you have a nice weekend." Fluttershy said.

"You, too. Enjoy and have fun."

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie left the store. They saw and loved the dresses already. A nice gift from Rarity which they'll have to thank later today. Right now, with the smiles on their faces, nothing else can go wrong. The three of them looked around checking out the latest in sports gear, gadgets, pets, and food within the mall. They are having a fun time to pump themselves up for tonight. As they headed towards the escalator going down, they were met by familiar faces especially one.

"Squirt?"

"Silver Spoon?" Fluttershy said.

"S-S-Sirens!" Pinkie shouted.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie remained in place. So have the others. Silence reigned for a few moments.

"Scootaloo! What are you doing with the sirens?! What are you doing with Silver Spoon?! Why are you hanging out with bullies and evil creatures from another world?!" Rainbow shouted in disgust.

"They're my new friends now Rainbow Dash. Unlike you, they never abandoned me."

"Abandon you... Scootaloo, listen to me."

Rainbow Dash went up to Scootaloo but Adagio, Aria, and Sonata got in front of her. Rainbow couldn't help herself. She has the opportunity to make peace with Scootaloo. To try and explain. Maybe...just...maybe...they can talk to each other every now or then at the least. Rainbow knew she'll have to get to Scootaloo in order for her to listen.

"Look, she is trying to live her life without the like of you," Adagio said.

"It is best for you to take a hike," Aria stated.

"So leave her alone," Sonata said.

Seeing the Sirens up close and telling her to back off really made Rainbow angry. So angry that she can take all three of them on her own. Rainbow Dash ran and throws her punch at Adagio but she grabbed her hand and pulls Rainbow Dash into an armbar.

"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow OW!" Rainbow cried in pain a little.

"Now, I could pretend that this never happens but I think you wanted this to happen," Adagio said as she puts pressure on Rainbow's arm.

"Please, let Dashie go." Pinkie said.

Adagio released the grip of the armbar allowing Rainbow Dash to get up and shake off her arm a little.

"I think you three should get moving. We don't want to cause a scene here now do we?"

"You got lucky, that's all," Rainbow said. Then tries to look at Scootaloo who turned away from her. "Look, I made my mistakes and just want to talk to Scootaloo."

"No. I don't want anything to you Rainbow Dash."

"Scootaloo, please."

"Just go away."

"I'm sorry."

Scootaloo turns around.

"I'm sorry for the mess that you were put into. I'm sorry about your loss and sorry that I wasn't the best sister I can be for you."

"Is that it?"

"Yea?"

"I'm not accepting your apology Rainbow Dash. You abandoned me for Sunset Shimmer."

Rainbow became irate after hearing Scootaloo saying she doesn't accept her apology. Hearing Sunset Shimmer's name again made her snapped. She's tired of feeling sorry and tired of hearing her name.

"You're still mad about Sunset Shimmer?! She's gone! Forever!"

"When you abandoned me, I was relentlessly bullied whenever I walked back home. My mom doesn't pick me up and you used to walk me back home. Ever since Sunset Shimmer became a priority to you due to Princess Twilight's favor, all you do is hang out with Sunset Shimmer all the time. All I had was Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and you know what happened after being neglected for so long? Chaos! Chaos spread like a wildfire throughout the internet and in school. My mom died because of Diamond Tiara and Anon-A-Miss. Have I made my mistakes?! Yes! And I Confessed the very next day! I knew that Anon-A-Miss was not the answer I was looking for. The only reason why I joined it was that I wanted you back. My depression was killing me and you know what? I'm happy that now I have new friends, a new family and a new life away from you! I don't want to see you ever again! All three of you! Even Applejack, Rarity, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle. You can all rot in hell for all I care!"

Scootaloo ran the other way as Silver Spoon followed her from behind. Adagio and her sisters remained still as Rainbow Dash has tears in her eyes a little. Pinkie Pie hair deflated and Fluttershy remained silent.

"You really messed this poor girl up by ignoring her. Hope you are proud of yourselves." Adagio said as calm as she can be.

"If we ever see you try and make an attempt to talk or fix this, we would gladly teach you a real lesson about life," Aria said as she popped her knuckles.

"You all make me sick just by looking at you and knowing what you did to Sunset Shimmer and to Scootaloo. Talk about real friendship." Sonata said.

Rainbow Dash got pissed after hearing the sirens mentioning about friendship. She knows more about friendship then the three Sirens put together.

"You don't even know what friendship is! Are you ever do is making it worse for everyone! Feed on their hatred to satisfy yourselves!"

"Like yourselves when you got rid of Sunset Shimmer instead of hearing her out?" Adagio stated with her arms crossed. Looking displeased at Rainbow Dash.

"Wow," Aria claps, "you are a hypocrite."

"Apparently, we know more about friendship than the three of you. The scary part of it is that you used to have the magic of friendship and now it's gone. Now if you excuse uswe have to comfort our friend." Adagio said.

Sonata started to walk the same path as Scootaloo and Silver Spoon. Adagio followed her and finally, Aria glared back and gave them a warning that she has eyes on them. Rainbow Dash pants and ran the other way. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy try to keep up with her. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata met up with Silver Spoon and Scootaloo outside of the gates. Rainbow ran as far and fast as she can while tears streamed down her eyes. Fluttershy and Pinkie try to keep up with her. Rainbow Dash ran into the girl's room and fell to the floor. She couldn't believe what the sirens told her. A reality check. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy came in to check on Rainbow who couldn't stop crying and coughing. Fluttershy and Pinkie hugged their friend and not wanting to let go until Rainbow finished letting her emotions out.

Twenty-five minutes later, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie left the bathroom. Rainbow sat by a bench nearby and looked directly at the floor.

"I can't believe they said that. The Sirens...telling me about friendship and now being compared to them during the Battle of the Bands incident. What a disgusting taste in my mouth."

Fluttershy remained silent. Unfortunately, it was the truth. The moment the Sirens were gone, they turned into one by neglecting Sunset Shimmer. Pinkie Pies tries to do her best impression to get a smile of Rainbow's face but it didn't work out. She tried reminding her about the party, about the Friendship Games. Nothing worked as Rainbow got up.

"I want...to go...home..."

"Dashie?"

"Don't even bother Pinkie, I'm in no mood for tonight's party. You'll have to go without me."

A last-minute idea came to Pinkie's mind. If this thought doesn't work then nothing will.

"If you think you are the only one struggling, well guess what?"

Rainbow looks at Pinkie.

"You're not. We have brothers and sisters at Canterlot High who is also suffering. There is a special group that is turning frowns upside down. If the Changelings can make the next step forwards due to Anon-A-Miss, betrayals and reality checks then why can't you?"

Rainbow Dash froze for a sec as she was about to respond. She remembers the notable changes within Canterlot High already. Being inspired and feeling alive. How she wanted to be a leader again. To scream. To shout. To unite and fight. Rainbow began to smile and looked up at the ceiling dome. Her eyes set high in the sky.

"You're right Pinkie Pie! No need to dwell in the past. We need to step up and be awesome!"

"That's the spirit Rainbow Dash!"

Fluttershy remained silent but she smiled brightly.

"Let's go, girls! We have a party to go to and there are those who need to feel pumped up as we are right now!"

Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy left the mall and headed towards Rainbow's house. Her parents aren't home so they can get ready there and plan out how to exploit everyone's emotion and get everyone hyped up for the Friendship games.

Thirty-five minutes later, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy made it to the house. Windy opened the door. She looked down a little but can see the flare in her daughter's eyes. She let her be and welcomed her friends. Bow wasn't home.

"Rainbow, there's something you want to tell me?"

"Yea, remember that party I mentioned to you?"

"The one about tonight?"

"Yea."

"I told you can go. Just message me when you want to come home so I can pick you up."

"Thanks, mom."

"Just tell me right now, what are you planning?"

"We're planning to do our part in the party to bring the energy, love, and trust that was taken away by past actions."

"Oh you and..."

"Mom...please...don't mention it."

"Sorry, sweetie."

"Thanks."

"Well, since that's the case, I'll let you be."

Windy left the room and headed towards the bedroom. Fluttershy and Pinkie went to Rainbow's room. From there, they jotted down what they needed to do to help out for tonight's party. It's going to be one incredible night.

Departure from the Party! Unexpected News from a Friend!

Moments after Flash Sentry spoke about Anon-A-Miss in his speech, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were having horrid memories about their past sins. The trauma they gave to Sunset Shimmer when they accused her of the crime. Neglecting Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo for weeks to hang out with Sunset Shimmer thus them creating Anon-A-Miss in the first place. Twilight coming up to them and they felt her wrath for blaming Sunset Shimmer. Feeling the wrath of Chrysalis and more importantly, losing their friend as their magic is stripped away. The consequences that came after were unbearable. The party that they were hoping to take the next step forward became a disaster. Emotions riding up. They couldn't help but cry their eyes out.

After a while of crying, they were a bit too far to head back home. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie are closer to Rarity's house. Rainbow Dash knocked on Rarity's house and Hondo answered the door.

"Anything I can do for you three?"

"Will it be alright if we spend the night here?" Rainbow said.

Hondo sighs. He thought about Rarity and how she's going through an emotional process. Having friends helping her would be the best solution.

"Alright, you three can stay for the night. Rarity is upstairs in her room. Just to let you know, she is not herself."

"Yea, well, neither are we but here we are but still trying to get there."

Hondo allowed Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pin in his household. He took their coats and put them away. The three then head up the stairs towards Rarity's room. Her door is open but they knocked anyways to get her attention. Rarity looked. Her eyes are red, tears ruining her makeup and have to jugs of mint chocolate ice cream on her bed.

"Rarity? Are you okay?" Pinkie asked.

Rarity threw her jug of mint chocolate ice cream directly at Pinkie Pie. She ducked as Rarity gave her friends a vicious look. She took heavy breathes and screamed Sweetie Belle's name. After she screamed, she starts crying again.

"Did something happened to Sweetie Belle?" Rainbow asked.

Rarity just stood at her bed crying. Fluttershy saw Cookie in her room and went up to her.

"Uh, Ms.Crumbles did something happened to Sweetie Belle recently?"

Cookie looked at Fluttershy. She too has tears in her eyes. She nodded in response.

"Sweetie Belle is no longer with us. She...She...She is dead."

Fluttershy gasped in realization. The unthinkable has happened. Sweetie Belle committed suicide.

"Did...die she committed..."

"No."

The response startled Fluttershy a bit.

"A...Demon Slayer came and took the life of Sweetie Belle. He had no choice for the matter."

Fluttershy had no words. She didn't even know that a Demon Slayer existed. She thought that Demon Slayers are campfire stories told to scare off the kids. Now knowing that Demon Slayers do exist, she feared that demons are lurking within her best friends. She ran towards Rarity's room to see Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash hugging Rarity. They calmed Rarity down long enough to make her stop throwing things at them. Rarity is ready to speak to her friends about Sweetie Belle.

A half-hour passed and both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie could not believe that a Demon Slayer took Apple Bloom's and Sweetie Belle's life away. Rage and hatred filled their hearts but Rarity warned them about too much hatred and rage. With demons around them and Applejack's family, there is no telling what can happen next. Rarity can't afford to lose anyone else in her life. She lost too much in a short amount of time. Her friends, her job and now her sister. What more must she endure in all of this suffering? Enough is enough.

The girls decided to sleep with Rarity. Making sure that she doesn't follow the footsteps of Sweetie Belle when she was on the brink of suicide. Hondo and Cookie were finally able to get some rest. It has been a horrid week for them to handle. Hopefully tomorrow, things can lighten up a little. Maybe not. Only time will in that department...

Rainbow's Nightmare!

Author's Note

For everything that has happened so far, it's getting worse from here in Rainbow's dream.

Hope you are enjoying the chapter.

Have a nice day/night reading.

Rainbow's Nightmare!

Run. Run is all Rainbow can do. She is seeing her demons coming after her. No matter how fast she ran, it got closer. The twist and turns she maneuvered, the demon was able to adjust. Rainbow ran down the halls screaming for help but no one was able to hear her cries. The demon got in front of Rainbow Dash scaring the life out of her. She ran into a room and barricade the door. Hoping that the demon can leave her alone. It was pointless as the door was ripped apart. Rainbow could only back up until she was cornered. Multiple demons were surrounding her. A hellish creature grabbed her by the throat and threw her out the window. As Rainbow Dash fell, she saw the misery of Scootaloo and Sunset Shimmer. She couldn't help by cry knowing what she did. Neglecting Scootaloo for weeks to hang out with Sunset Shimmer and hurting Sunset Shimmer mentally and physically. Rainbow screamed as the images plagued her mind. When she landed on the ground, both her ankles were broken. Being unable to move, the demons captured her, dragged her into a dark room. The demons then decided to put Rainbow to sleep for a short while.

Rainbow woke up from her slumber thinking that her nightmare is over but it wasn't. She's tied up on a chair. Hands tied behind her back. Rainbow gazed around the room but it was dark. Not really much to see until one of the demons presented itself. It's none other than Scootaloo.

"Squirt?"

Scootaloo only looked at Rainbow Dash. She's in her military school uniform getting things in order.

"Scootaloo! Get me out of this chair! Please!!!"

Scootaloo stared in the eyes of Rainbow Dash.

"Please...?"

Scootaloo walked out of Rainbow's sight. All there is darkness. The lights were turned on which caused Rainbow to flinch and readjust her eyesight after seeing nothing but darkness for a short while. In the room, there was only Scootaloo and Sunset Shimmer. Rainbow couldn't help but feel relieved and happy to see Sunset Shimmer once more. Things took a turn when Rainbow saw Sunset's demon form. As she and Scootaloo got closer, Rainbow struggled frantically. She's wasn't enjoying the sight and preferred to see nothing but darkness.

"Quit squirming you little shit!" Sunset said.

Rainbow can feel her heart beating fast. She wanted to wake up from this horrible dream but couldn't. It feels surreal. Scootaloo got barbed wires and tied it around Rainbow's forehead. She screamed in immense pain as blood came out from the open wound.

"You made my life a living hell for ignoring me! Payback is a bitch and so are you Rainbow Crash!"

Scootaloo got in front of her and slaps her mercilessly.

"Day after day, I go home and get beat up by Gilda and Lightning Dust. Where the fuck was my protection?!"

The slaps turned into punches. Scootaloo is unleashing a fury unlike any other. Tears were streaming down but Rainbow couldn't see. She can only see Scootaloo punching her in the face and her body.

"Where were you when I needed you most?!"

The punches thrown by Scootaloo were relentless. Rainbow coughed out blood and was tired of tasting it.

"I'm sorry Scootaloo! I'm truly sincerely sorry!"

Rainbow cried. Tears flowing down on her cheeks.

"Are you Rainbow Dash! Or are you saying that out of pity!"

Scootaloo punched Rainbow in the stomach causing her to cough more blood out. After the punch, Rainbow thought hard and remembers what she said towards Scootaloo when she apologized to her the first time. How angry she got for a pathetic apology. Seeing Scootaloo walked the other direction while the Sirens stand in front of them. Making sure that she doesn't hurt Scootaloo anymore. Rainbow is now aware of the situation. Right before Scootaloo was about to throw another punch, Rainbow spoke.

"Scootaloo, I understand how much pain you're in. The number of beatings you went through. Every day getting picked on and getting depressed. I am sorry for abandoning you. I'm sorry for not walking you back home when your mom was busy and your dad fighting in the war. I'm sorry for tossing you aside for my friends. I can see that my actions were more wrong than your motives with Anon-A-Miss. I'm sorry for ignoring your depression. I am a terrible person. A terrible friend and the worst sister I can be towards you when you're an only child. I take full responsibility for my actions and what I inflicted on you. I don't expect for you to be part of my life anymore but know that my apology can be...?"

"Forgiven?"

Rainbow nodded her head which was a bad move. The barbed wire dug deep in her head causing Rainbow to scream in pain.

"Not a chance."

Rainbow's eye widen. She thought hard about her apology. Remember exactly how Scootaloo was feeling. Rainbow thrashed around her binding on the chair. Enraged. Things took a turn when Sunset Shimmer grabbed Rainbow's cheeks.

"Fiesty are we?"

Sunset chuckles as she kissed Rainbow's lips which caused her to gag and spit. The demon form that Rainbow is seeing is smiling away. Scootaloo returned back into the darkness.

"No matter, what did I expect from a hot head."

Rainbow continue spat blood and hoping the taste of Demon Shimmer wouldn't last.

"Still, I expect nothing from a fiend who turns away from a friend."

Rainbow glared at Sunset. Sunset stood aside and an archfiend came closer to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow heart skipped a beat when she saw this new demonic creature. Sweating out of pure terror. It smiled and got closer.

"I want to say thank you for allowing me to exist in your world."

Rainbow is confused by the statement the archfiend said.

"Uh, why are you thanking me?"

"If it weren't for you and your friends, I may not be able to cross the dimensional planes that opened the gates for me."

Rainbow shook her head. She doesn't understand what the archfiend is saying.

"I don't understand your point by thanking me."

"Do you remember...Anon-A-Miss?"

Rainbow shudders by hearing Anon-A-Miss. Not wanting to remember the name anymore.

"I'll take it as a yes. You see, I was brought into this world by the hate created by Anon-A-Miss. Now that I roam free, this world will soon be mine. Thank you for being part of a greater cause."

Rainbow screamed. Wanting this nightmare to be over. She tried her best to break free from her bindings. The archfiend grabbed the chair, his body enlarges big enough to eat Rainbow Dash as a whole. The instant the teeth impaled on Rainbow's body is the instant she wakes up screaming. At the exact moment of time, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy woke up from their nightmares. Breathing heavily as they couldn't believe what just happened.

Only ten minutes of slumber went by and everyone couldn't believe what just happened.

Pinkie's Nightmare!

Pinkie's Nightmare!

In a land filled with gumdrops, candy canes, milk, cookies, and all sorts of sugary sweets, Pinkie Pie laid no waste on tasting everything in sight. The wait for tasting sugar has finally come to an end, however, when she ate a chocolate pie, she spits it out immediately. The pie didn't taste sugary. Instead, it tasted salty and bitter. When she tries to eat another treat, it tasted like salt and blood. Pinkie immediately spits it out and tries to get the taste out by licking the ground. The ground tastes like chalk and blood. Pinkie Pie panicked as her world was beginning to change and deform into a hellish playground. Pinkie ran for her life. As Pinkie ran, the laughter of two satanic kids can be heard. It freaked Pinkie more as the ground was getting hotter. She jumped up on a tree as the ground below started to quake and tear apart.

Pinkie closes her eyes wanting the nightmare to end but it wouldn't end. The two satanic kids get closer. They had pentagrams drawn on their foreheads. Their eyes pitched red and even their clothing was ripped apart. When Pinkie opened her eyes, she saw Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Pinkie sighs in relief a little until Apple Bloom throws a knife piercing Pinkie's right shoulder. She screamed in agony as Sweetie Belle throws a knife piercing Pinkie's left shoulder. Pinkie cries out in agony and begging for the two to stop. They smiled and step back.

Pinkie cries as she tries to get the knives out of her but couldn't. She begs for the nightmare to stop. As she begs, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle turned into hellish creatures. Half-human and half-demon. They got closer to Pinkie Pie and ripped her shirt off. Apple Bloom pulled out another knife and begin to draw a pentagram gate on her belly. Pinkie screamed but Sweetie Belle hand-gags Pinkie's mouth to subdue the screams of agony. After Apple Bloom finished her drawing on Pinkie's belly, the pentagram lit up as a mass of darkness came out of Pinkie Pie. It looked at her and begin to transform. Pinkie tries to close her eyes but Sweetie Belle won't allow it. She wanted her to witness true evil incarnate.

"Ah, so this is the other one that led to my creation."

Sweetie Belle releases her grip on Pinkie's mouth so she can speak.

"Wha-Wha-What are you...talking about?" Pinkie said as terrified as she can be.

"Remember, Anon-A-Miss?"

Pinkie Pie began losing her color and deflate after hearing Anon-A-Miss.

"I'll take that as a yes. You see, my dear child. You help the cause of my existence in this world. I'm here to thank you. To thank you for allowing your friend to suffer long enough for me to come through."

"Which friend?!" Pinkie shouted.

"The one you call Sunset Shimmer. By neglecting her, she isn't around in the world. She was taken back because you failed her as a friend. Also, I want to thank you for inspiring a cult that led to an unfortunate circumstance with the one known as Scootaloo."

"Her...home...her...mother..."

"Gone in flames and ash."

Pinkie remained silent.

"Also, thank you for allowing a close friend of mine to possess the kids you see in front of you. For your negligence as a friend in need; you allow Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and even Scootaloo to suffer for months because they had no one else to be and hang out with. You chose one friend over and over. Your purpose for bringing smiles any friend in need is a scam. If I'm wrong then why you didn't help the Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and most importantly, Scootaloo during their streak?"

Pinkie can only cry. It's all she can do after hearing the demon speak the truth. The demon begins to transform into his actual form. The demon is now an archfiend.

"Thank you, for your services."

The Archfiend took flight as the tree begins to quake and deteriorate. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle fall into the pits of hell. After they fell, fire bursts out and Pinkie screams as she falls into the fiery pits. When she lands, she screamed so loud that she finally woke up from her nightmare. At the exact moment of time, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy woke up from their nightmares. Breathing heavily as they couldn't believe what just happened.

Only ten minutes of slumber went by and everyone couldn't believe what just happened.

Fluttershy's Nightmare!

Fluttershy's Nightmare!

Fluttershy is enjoying herself in the garden. Attending to every creature that swarms her with love and passion. As they get closer to Fluttershy, she couldn't help but notice the slight change in their eyes. Every creature around her had red eyes. Fluttershy gasps as they started to change horribly. Their bodies turning into hellish creatures. Fluttershy screams and even her pet; Angel Bunny formed and growls at her. Fluttershy accidentally kicks Angel Bunny instead of hugging him. Fluttershy panic and runs away from the garden. Unfortunately for her, the garden she was in turned into a never-ending maze. Each turn Fluttershy makes, the scenery got even worse. She ran through fire, corpses, blood, and bones.

The hellish creatures led by Angel Bunny were after Fluttershy. They followed her movements through the maze. Some even separated hoping to find a different path to catch Fluttershy. Fluttershy didn't even bother looking back as she can hear the screeching squeals of the hellish creatures that followed her. Tears running down her face as she takes another turn, hoping to find the exit. Instead, the branches in the maze grab a hold of Fluttershy. The branches held Fluttershy high as she is now trapped. Unable to get herself free.

Angel Bunny caught up and climbs on to Fluttershy carrying a black marker. He drew a pentagram all over Fluttershy. Fluttershy tries to call out for help but the branches covered her mouth. Thorns grew on and out of the branches stabbing Fluttershy repeatedly. She wails in pain from the stabbing. The black ooze stops coming out of Fluttershy; instead, her blood came out. The branches stopped stabbing Fluttershy long enough. Her blood forms a pool and a demonic creature arise. It looked at Fluttershy as the branches release its grip of her mouth.

"The quiet one and yet, you gave Sunset Shimmer a powerful impact on Friendship." In her voice, "You are not our Friend! I laugh at that statement from afar."

Fluttershy squirmed rapidly in fear of dying from what's she's seeing and hearing.

"Then again, why bother to listen to reason when hate is on your mind. The hate of one person's sin to convince you and the others to neglect your closest friend. Seems wonderful on how human nature forgets to learn and forgive even when the accuser has nothing to do with the situation at hand."

The demon held onto Fluttershy's cheek as she closes her eyes.

"You should have shown kindness to dear Sunset Shimmer but instead, you've shown negligence and anger."

Fluttershy couldn't help but cry. She failed as a friend to Sunset and now she's waiting for the inevitable. She can't stand for the demon in front of her to repeat her mistakes anymore.

"Enjoy what you have left before it's taken away."

The demon fades into darkness as everything around her deforms. The branches decay releasing Fluttershy and the creatures started to disintegrate leaving Fluttershy stranded. All Fluttershy can hear is the screams of Sunset Shimmer suffering throughout the days of Anon-A-Miss. Fluttershy tries to scream to block Sunset out of her mind. As she covered her ears, a large knife pierces through her chest. When Fluttershy felt and looked down, it was a corrupted form of Sunset returning the favor. Giving Fluttershy an actual broken heart. Fluttershy gasped and screams so loud that she had finally woken up from her nightmare. At the exact moment of time, Rarity, Pinkie, and Rainbow woke up from their nightmares. Breathing heavily as they couldn't believe what just happened.

Only ten minutes of slumber went by and everyone couldn't believe what just happened.

Rarity's Nightmare! Blaze Inbound! War is Coming!

Rarity's Nightmare! Blaze Inbound! War is Coming!

Rarity and her family is in the wake of Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle looked like she's finally in peace. No longer in pain, no longer in sorrow and no longer in regret. Hondo and Cookie left as Rarity stood by. She stayed with Sweetie Belle and talked about her regrets towards her younger sister. Her biggest mistake for neglecting Sweetie Belle's attention. Rarity cries and hits herself in the head over for making a foolish decision; a decision that ultimately led to her sister's demise. Rarity blames herself for allowing demons entering her sister's mind. She wishes that she has a second chance to redeem herself as a better sister. As time flew by, she packed her things and kissed Sweetie Belle's cheek.

Rarity walks towards the exit but the door goes further away from her. She runs but couldn't catch up to the door. Then the door stood still but she couldn't move. Her feet were bound to the floor. Rarity struggles vigorously. Pulling her feet from the floor but it didn't budge. Rarity looked around as she saw Sweetie Belle getting out of the coffin. She walked towards her sister and pulls up a chair. She sat and looked at her sister.

"Why?"

Rarity starts to get confused. She doesn't know how to handle this.

"Why, Rarity? Why didn't you want me in your life?"

"S-Sweetie Belle..." Rarity begins to pant. "I did want you in my life. I-I-I was foolish with my decisions. I chose my friends over you and I'm truly sorry for my mistakes. I wish I can have a second chance darling. To set things right and be a loving, caring sister that I was supposed to be."

"Too little too late!" Sweetie Belle shouted.

Flames engulf the room. Right before her very own eyes, Sweetie Belle transformed into a demon. Rarity knew what the demon is. She remembered Blaze mentioning a ritual that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle performed.

"You're the archfiend that my sister and her friend summoned."

"Yes. I am quite surprised that you know of my physical being. I take it as you are the smart one of the group."

"It's catchy that a demon like you would transform into something uncouth. "

The archfiend breaks the chair and grabs the broken leg wielding it like a knife towards Rarity's throat.

"Is that so?" The archfiend laughed. "The way you treated your sister was uncouth. The way you kicked her out of your room for her efforts for that big slumber party was uncouth. You should know your language, you hypocrite."

Rarity glares at the archfiend. She resisted the urge of feeling down and depressed.

"As long as I shall live, that second chance will never come into reality even in the afterlife."

"How come?"

"Her soul belongs to ME!"

The archfiend held a relic that contains souls of loved ones. Sweetie Belle's spirit can only touch the glass of the relic. She can see her sister and begs for help.

"Let her go!"

"Not a chance. The price to pay for summoning me is selling her soul and she has. Therefore, her debt has been paid for all eternity."

Rarity starts getting teary.

"Don't worry though. You'll see her soon. When the end is near."

Rarity shouted Sweetie Belle's name so loud that she finally wakes up from her nightmare. She pants and noticed that she, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy have woken up from their slumber. Only ten minutes have passed.

"Girls? Are you all alright?" Rarity asked.

"No!" Rainbow shouted. "My dream was awful!"

"My nightmare was surreal. I have never felt any pain from a dream before." Fluttershy said.

"My dream started like any other but it has gone south in an instant." Pinkie said.

"Did any of you saw something talking back?" Rarity asked.

"I saw demons in my dream. They were talking to me." Rainbow said.

"Me too," Both Pinkie and Fluttershy stated.

Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rainbow explained their nightmares to each other. They explained how their friendships, their negligence, and hatred brought the creature in the physical being. Rarity believes that Blaze may have something in mind to put the archfiend down once and for all. They need to make a phone call and hope that Blaze can come by. Rarity gets up and leaves the room. She heads towards her parent's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Cookie said.

Rarity comes in and Cookie can see the fear in her daughter's eyes.

"Oh no, what happened, dear?"

"Mom, my friends and I need to call Blaze. There is an archfiend lurking in our dreams and we cannot sleep right."

"Alright, take my phone and dial him."

"Thanks, mom."

Rarity grabs and dials Blaze. Around this time, Blaze received the Chinese food he ordered a half-hour ago. Then he picks up his phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Blaze."

"Rarity? What's the problem you're having?"

"My friends and I just had an Archfiend in our dreams."

"What?"

"The Archfiend spoke to us and he knows about Anon-A-Miss, Sunset Shimmer and all the awful things that my friends and I have done which drove Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom into their doing."

"The Archfiend can dream hop. This is quite terrifying. Stronger than it looks when I struck my sword on his physical being," Blaze said to himself. "Alright, Rarity. I'll be there in 20 minutes."

"Thank you, Blaze."

"You're welcome." Blaze hangs up the phone and looks at the cashier. "I need you to deliver this to Commander Sombra's house."

"Sure thing. He is a regular here after all." The cashier said.

"Thank you."

Blaze left the restaurant and drives off to Rarity's house. 20 minutes later, Blaze parked his car and walks up to Rarity's house. He knocks and Rarity opens the door. Blaze enters.

"Where are your friends?" Blaze asked.

"Upstairs in my room."

The two walk up the stairs and enter the room. Blaze looked all around to sense the Archfiend's presence.

"Son of a bitch, he's here."

Blaze throws salt all around the room.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Rainbow asks.

"Concealing the Archfiend from leaving."

"But, we want the archfiend gone!" Pinkie shouted.

"Are you Demon Slayer?"

"No..." Pinkie quietly stated.

"Do you know what to do when an Archfiend is present?"

"No........" Pinkie lowered her voice to a minimum of Fluttershy's voice.

"Then you should keep your mouth shut. My duties as a Demon Slayer are quite difficult to explain to you regular people. It is best to remain calm and allow me to do my work." Blaze said as he lit up candles and place them all around the room in formation.

"Why are the candles being placed in different areas of the room?" Rarity asked.

Blaze groans "The candles are in a dream catcher's formation. This is a dream ritual I'm performing. I'm gonna need all of you to join hands and sleep."

The girls looked at each other then at him.

"When you all go to sleep, I'll start a chant to put myself into slumber but it'll allow me to enter the realm of dreams. From there, I can enter each of your minds and defeat the Archfiend from within. You may experience a Deja Vu within your dream but ignore them. The real focus will be my battle versus the Archfiend. It may take a while; it may not. Just know that by the end of the night, you'll sleep peacefully."

The girls join hands with Blaze and they fell asleep. Blaze chants in his language and he too falls asleep. As Blaze enters the realm of dreams, he felt a ripple behind him and a dark mass flew away entering another dream.

"What was that?" Blaze got up and headed towards the other side but a wall of light blocked his way from entering. He touches the light and has an eerie similar feeling when he touched the statue near Canterlot High. "Hmm, seems like I am unable to explore those regions. Perhaps another time."

Blaze steps away and enters Rarity's dream. She is reliving her nightmare. Blaze opens the door and peeks inside. Rarity is seeing Sweetie Belle transforming into the Archfiend once more. Blaze kicks the door down. The Archfiend turns and shudders.

"Ah, so you are afraid of me."

"Me? Afraid? No!"

Rarity saw the eyes of the Archfiend. They changed. Her eyes widen.

"Get back! Or else!"

"You don't threaten me," Blaze said as he took out the Holy Bottle Containment.

"What is that?"

"Your tomb."

The Archfiend spears Blaze but it didn't flinch him. Blaze grabs the Archfiend and throws him back down.

"What? How are you able to hurt me?"

"This is a dream stupid ass. A dream that I can control with my creativity."

Blaze got into position. The Archfiend tackles and tries to claw Blaze's face but it didn't work. Blaze used the realm of dreams to manipulate his enchantment through body wave motion and seals the Archfiend within the Holy Bottle Containment.

"One down, three to go."

"Uh, what?"

"This Archfiend is smarter than it looks. He's splitting his image throughout the dream realm of you and your friends."

"How can you tell Blaze?"

"Archfiends to my understanding search for the darkest moments in people's lives and exploit them. Then they feed off the misery and grief. Last, then send warnings of impending doom. Throughout my life, I encounter a few Archfiends but not like this. Something else is amiss. I believe my investigation is now turning into a holy war."

"Holy...War..?"

"Demons arise from the pits of hell then there are us, Demon Slayers with holy properties. There is only a handful but throughout ancient times, we protected the world from powerful threats against demons and mystic creatures."

"So, uh, what was the last battle like?"

"As far as I know, my ancestors took down these winter demons known as windigoes. They claim to have come from a different dimension but they were easily taken down. Anyways, I have to get going. I have three more dreams to conquer."

"Wait, before you go I have one more question to ask."

"Go on."

"When the Archfiend came, we could have used our power of creativity to fight them off?"

"Yes and no. Yes in the sense that you can but to face an Archfiend, show no fear. No in the sense that when you are having a nightmare and things are fearful, you lose concentration of what's going around you. Your mind plays tricks on you then the Archfiend can use it for his advantage. It is something that I could have told you and your friends but I rather not. I prefer to have no distractions when I use the Holy Bottle Containment. Right now, your dream will come to an end but you won't be able to wake up. Not until I finish the Archfiend duplicates in the other dreams."

Blaze leaves Rarity's dream and enters Fluttershy's dream. Fluttershy is being hung by the branches again. The Archfiend is tormenting Fluttershy but he isn't aware of Blaze performing the ritual to conceal the Archfiend in the Holy Bottle Containment. The Archfiend had no idea what was happening until it was too late. Blaze explains to Fluttershy about the dream ending and she won't be able to wake up until his task is completed. Fluttershy dreamt a better dream for herself. To be with her kind and caring animals.

Blaze leaves Fluttershy's dream and enters Pinkie's dream. The Archfiend is mocking Pinkie Pie for how a horrible friend she truly is. How her purpose in life for bringing smiles is a scam. Blaze performs the ritual once more behind the Archfiend. Like before, it was too late for the Archfiend as he is concealed in the Holy Bottle Containment. Like with Fluttershy, Blaze explains about going to the final dream and Pinkie won't be waking up until he completes his mission. Pinkie sits on the ground and waits until it's all over.

Blaze left her dream to enter Rainbow's dream. Rainbow's dream was far sinister than Pinkie's and Fluttershy's. Scootaloo and Sunset are demons for the Archfiend's amusement. Blaze heard everything that both Scootaloo and Sunset said towards Rainbow Dash as she thrashed around. Unable to move. Blaze saw the Archfiend rising and that's when Blaze kicks down the door in the basement. The Archfiend turns around and realized what's happening.

"You're the one whose been weakening me! How dare you?"

"Just doing what I do best. Taking out the trash in this world."

The Archfiend roars but Blaze didn't flinch. He stood his ground. Rainbow Dash, however, closed her eyes. She never heard a roar scary like that before. The Archfiend roars again to show fear but it wasn't working for Blaze. He stared at the demon he's going to put away. The Archfiend got angry and lunge at Blaze but it didn't work. The Archfiend fazes through Blaze. The Archfiend tries to claw, punch, and grab him but to no avail.

"Why can't I touch you!"

"Ew, gross."

"Graaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The Archfiend roars as the ceiling in the basement forms into a bloody vortex. His anger grew and Blaze knew exactly what he's noticing. The Archfiend has a side effect that causes him to lose his intelligence when he's splitting himself apart. That would explain why the Archfiend from the previous dreams didn't sense him or look back. They had no idea what has happened with the first one. Blaze performs the ritual for the Holy Bottle Containment. The Archfiend sees what's happening and tries to throw the bottle away. Unfortunate for him, the bottle is enriched with Holy Water thus burning the Archfiend's hands. The Archfiend soon realized that is was over. He couldn't beat something Holy. The Archfiend turns to Rainbow Dash who has her eyes shut still.

"If, I'm going, she's coming with me!"

The Archfiend lunges himself towards Rainbow Dash but he is short. The Archfiend turns back and sees a strong presence coming out of the bottle and grabs him. He screams not wanting to be in containment for all eternity. He swore revenge at Blaze as the Archfiend is finally sealed. The dreams end and Rainbow Dash is free from her terrifying nightmare.

"Everything is going to be fine now Rainbow."

"Fine? Not okay or better?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, if this Archfiend was capable of entering the realms of dreams then it has other powers as well. Just know that your dreams are safe. As for everything else, good until further notice."

"So, what happens now Blaze..?"

"I leave the dream realm and everyone will wake up."

"Okay then."

Blaze leaves Rainbow's dream and saw the dark mass entering another dream from the other side. Blaze got closer and once again, the wall of light prevented him from going further.

"Hmm, maybe that world is in dire need of saving as well. When I'm done here and this barrier is uplifted, I'll go and investigate."

Blaze leaves the reality of dreams. As he and the girls wake up, it is now Saturday morning. The girls finally relieved from the Archfiend, Blaze couldn't help but have the feeling of an upcoming Holy War. He leaves the room but Rarity grabs his hand.

"Thank you, for what you've done for us."

"My pleasure. It's my duty after all. Now I have someplace to be and hopefully, he won't kill me for coming late to a party."

Blaze leaves Rarity's house and headed back to Sombra's home. Miles away from Rarity's household, Big Mac is still in the Apple Barn. Big Mac is still possessed by Nero as he haves a conversation with the Archfiend within his mind.

"So, Blaze has your separate beings in the Holy Bottle Containers?" Nero said.

"Yes, My particles are now rounding up all the demons within. To build an army to take over this planet."

"Good. Blaze will not interfere with our plans for world domination for he will be too weak to stop us. Then we'll hop over to the other world and take everything away from the Draqonacuus that I mentioned to you about."

"His Chaotic power with mine shall be life's endgame."

The two demonic creatures laugh for a possible future that awaits. The beginning of an end soon to be rising up.

Visiting Applejack! Applejack's Nightmare!

Have a nice day/night reading.

Visiting Applejack! Applejack's Nightmare!

Blaze drives his car towards the Canterlot Hospital. He figures what has happened last night may occur with Applejack in her sleep. He walks in and heads straight to Applejack's room. The nurse behind the counter tries to get Blaze's attention for not signing in but he didn't care. Blaze enters room 218 and saw Skull Bones talking with Applejack. Letting her know she's going to be staying for an additional two days. Applejack didn't like it but for now, she accepts it.

"Skully, I need to talk with Applejack. It will be wise for you to leave the premises."

"Ugh, what did I told you about calling me by that name!"

"Just leave."

"Fine, I'll be going. Gotta have my coffee anyways."

Doctor Bones leaves the room and shuts the door.

"Hiya Blaze, what are you doing here?"

"Hmm," Blaze questioned Applejack's emotion. "I'm here to ask you some questions."

"Well, okay. I have nothing better to do anyway."

"Did you had a hard time sleeping last night?"

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep cause I kept crying about my losses."

"Were you able to get some sleep?"

"Yeah, but this weird-looking creature appeared and made my nightmare worse."

"I was afraid of that."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"You're friends; Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash have experience the same within their dreams. A creature emerging from what appears to be from hell."

"What is happening.....?"

"Something is coming soon but for now, I've contained the creature in my HBC."

"What is HBC?"

"Holy Bottle Containment."

"How were you able to do that?"

"I entered the realm of dreams and went through your friends' dream. Then I contain the demon in the HBC. In the realm of dreams, I can use my body language instead of a chant to drag the demon within the bottle."

"Wow, so uh, you gonna do the same for me?"

"Yes. If you're telling me that a creature emerges from your nightmare making it worse, then there is a connection. That is something that I will need to break."

"Will it hurt?"

"No, however, you'll experience the same nightmare when I come in."

"The same..?"

"Yes. When I entered your friends' dream I saw how they relive the nightmares and it wasn't pretty. It's connected through the trauma of Anon-A-Miss and the aftermath."

Applejack took a long breather just hearing Anon-A-Miss. What a mistake that was and it ruined a whole lot.

"So, uh..."

"Yes, Applejack?"

"Was there any...uh...chance that Scootaloo may be involved as well?"

"If you are speaking about demons coming towards her and such, no. She did have a little situation a while back but from her perspective, she's having a better life."

"What a reliever."

Blaze gets up.

"I'll be right back, I need to get candles."

"Alright then."

Blaze leaves the room and headed towards a closet. Some doctors and nurses were watching him. Then Skull Bones came up to Blaze.

"Blaze, what are you doing?"

"Getting candles. I need them."

"For what exactly?"

Blaze takes a deep breath and looks at Skull Bones.

"I need them to perform my ritual. To enter the realm of dreams."

Everyone laughed at Blaze for his claim thinking it's a joke but Skull Bones is the only one not laughing. Then the laughter becomes quiet. The doctors and nurses muttered to each other. Blaze opens the closet door and gives Blaze a box of candles.

"Take what you need. We have plenty more."

"Thanks, Doctor Bones."

Blaze takes the box and walks back to room 218. Skull Bones jumped in excitement that Blaze didn't call him Skully in front of everyone. Blaze then locks the door and place the candles around.

"Uh, Blaze?"

"Yes, Applejack."

"Why you need so many candles?"

"I need to line them up like a dream catcher. Once lit, I can do my chant and enter the realm of dreams."

"Alright then. What do I need to do?"

"Lay down on the bed and lend me your hand. It'll allow me to enter your dreams cause if I don't have contact, I will be wandering around looking for the right dream."

"Alright then."

Applejack lays on her bed and reaches out to Blaze's hand. Blaze lights up the candles, pulled a chair next to Applejack and hold her hand.

"Close your eyes and drift to sleep. "

Applejack falls asleep on command and Blaze starts his chant again. He too falls asleep but now entering the realm of dreams. He looks around and sees the same dark mass flying into another dream.

"Seriously, what is that thing?" Blaze mutters to himself. "Oh well, I have to contain the archfiend." Blaze enters Applejack's dream.

Applejack is on her way back home. She just had an amazing time with her friends. All she has to do now is some house chores then she can head back out to be with her friends once more. Applejack helps Bic Mac repaint the barn house, then apple picks some trees. Finally, she helped Granny Smith bake some apple pies. Her day at the house took 3 hours but it was worth helping out at home. Applejack gathers her things and Apple Bloom was by her door.

"Hey, sis. Can I come with you?"

"Not this time Apple Bloom but maybe next time."

"...okay..." Apple Bloom now walks away with her head down.

Blaze is on the rooftop of the Apple house hearing it.

"Hmm, this must be a memory dream. Perhaps when it first started for the last time before Anon-A-Miss came to life." Blaze said as he scouts Applejack now leaving the barn and heading back into town.

Applejack met up with Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset Shimmer. They were smiling and welcoming their friend at Sugarcube corner. Blaze is not far from them. He's observing from a different rooftop.

"Hey, girls. Ready for the slumber party tonight?" Applejack said.

"Yea, I'm so excited!" Pinkie shouted.

"Our first one together as friends," Sunset said.

"This is indeed a memory," Blaze mutters to himself. "I can safely say back at the barn house was probably Apple Bloom's final straw. Hmm, the Archfiend must have waited a bit longer to strike fear into Applejack's soul. They're on the move."

Applejack and her friends walk their way towards Pinkie's house. Blaze free runs towards Pinkie's house. On the way, there, Blaze saw something entering through Pinkie's window. He looks and saw the black mass Pinkie's room hiding. Applejack and her friends begin their slumber party. Having a good time with the pillow fights and having a pizza party. Applejack then receives a phone call from Apple Bloom. That's when things took a turn. The room inside starts to deform. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash starts to deteriorate. Applejack doesn't see as she heard static on the phone. Apple Bloom's voice sounds vicious and demonic.

"Why have you forgotten about me?!"

Applejack drops the phone. The phone is on speaker, it repeats the same message over and over.

"Why have you forgotten about me?! Why have you forgotten about me?! Why have you forgotten about me?! Why have you forgotten about me?!"

Applejack covers her ears as the phone continues to replay the same message. Apple Bloom emerges from the floor holding onto Applejack's rope. Apple Bloom has pitch black eyes with red pupils. Her body is red and her hair is on fire.

"Hey sis; forgot about me?!" Apple Bloom said as she ties the rope onto Applejack's neck.

Apple Bloom has a strong grip on the rope as Applejack stares at her sis in fear. Sunset Shimmer transforms into the Archfiend. Blaze is watching from Pinkie's window, waiting for the right time to strike.

"No, sugarcube...I haven't forgotten about you..." Applejack said calmly.

"Liar!" Apple Bloom said pulling the rope hard.

Applejack clutches onto the rope around her neck as she coughs.

"It," Applejack coughs, "the truth."

"Then why not bring me with you?!" Apple Bloom pulls harder causing Applejack to cough more. Her head is starting to change color. Apple Bloom loosens her grip allowing Applejack to breathe a little.

"Because...I had...no intention of bringing you...with me. That was...my biggest mistake. I should have...brought you with me."

Apple Bloom is then cast aside by the Archfiend who glared at the eyes of Applejack.

"I should personally thank you for being the cause of my summoning. Without you, Apple Bloom would have never created Anon-A-Miss in the first place."

Applejack gaze upon the Archfiend. She is silent as a ghost. Her regrets, her mistakes are now coming to haunt her. She deserves it for neglecting her beloved sister for so long. Applejack willingly accepts her fate as Blaze enters the room. He's behind the Archfiend.

"I see you've come to take me away huh Blaze?"

Blaze was a bit shocked that the Archfiend knew he was behind him. The Archfiend turns and stares at Blaze.

"Well, aren't you going to do it?"

This raise suspicion in Blaze's mind. The Archfiend knew that his fate is sealed but instead of Blaze using the HBC, he used Holy Water on the Archfiend. It wasn't expecting it.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! It burns! It Burns!"

The Archfiend wails in pain and agony. It rolls around the floor. Applejack is seeing Blaze. He isn't smiling. He's serious. The Archfiend is melting from the Holy Water. Blaze took out his sword and aim for the head. Blaze chops the head of the Archfiend and slices it multiple times. The Archfiend's body disintegrates as Pinkie's room is turning back to normal. Applejack goes up to Blaze.

"Is...the dream over?"

Blaze nods.

"When I leave your dream, you'll be waking up. The Archfiend has no power to manipulate your dreams anymore. You're free from its tyranny."

"Hey, Blaze?"

"Yes?"

"Why didn't you use the Holy Bottle Containment like you said you would?"

"It knew that I was going to do that. It raises suspicions and now I have to be careful with my Holy Bottle Containers. See you in a few Applejack."

Blaze leaves Applejack's dream and saw the same mass going into another dream. This time he was able to see what the mass look like.

"A blue unicorn with wings? This is new." Blaze said as he walks around the realm of dreams. "I wonder if it can come over here to my side of the realm of dreams."

Blaze then leaves the realm of dreams. He and Applejack wake up 4 hours later. There was a knock on the door. Blaze gets up and opens the door. Big Mac comes in. He and Blaze stare at each other for a moment. Blaze saw something in Big Mac's eye but for now, he lets it be. Big Mac goes up to Applejack.

"Applejack, how are you doing?"

"I'm better Big Mac. I heard the news of Apple Bloom and Granny Smith but either than that, I'm fine."

"Good. As for you Blaze, don't you have somewhere to be?"

"I do. Thanks for reminding me. Applejack, I'll be in contact with you."

"Thanks, Bla" Big Mac covers his sister's mouth.

"Now, you get lost. You've caused enough problems in one week already."

Blaze takes a good look at Big Mac and smiles.

"As you wish, dick head."

Blaze leaves the hospital. He now knows that Big Mac has changed for the worse. Blaze knows that his work is not complete. There is much more at stake. For now, he needs to drive back to Sombra's house and hope everything works out with Scootaloo.
