Camp of the lost
Night 3 :Swift Blade:
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe perspective switches to the cabin.
The camera operator is now Swift Blade. He looks depressed.
"I don't know where Blaze and Jackpot are. But they have to be either lost or dead!" The sound of sobbing is audible.
"WARE ARE THEY!?"
15 minutes later, he picks up the camera.
The film cuts to the the deck of the cabin. A flashlight moves from left to right.
"Blaze! Jackpot! Where are you!?" he shouts.
A shadow moves toward him. The audio is garbled.
The flashlight illuminates the subject, a badly wounded Jackpot.
"Jackpot? Your still alive!?" The sound of the door open then the slamming of the door shutting can be heard.
"Dude what happened!? Where's blaze!?"
"Get in the cabin!" a voice shouts. "get in the cabin!"
Both ponies run inside the cabin, the door slamming shut again.
The operator picks up the camera and point it at Jackpot locking the door.
"Dude what the Tartarus, what happened to you!?"
"Th...that candy creature from earlier she... She changed him!"
"What do you mean she changed him!?"
"She infected him with this black... Smoke.. I don't know what that was, he's not the same anymore! He and that candy thing were after me and chased me!"
"What do you mean he's not the same!? How did you get away!?"
Sobbing can be heard. "i don't know I...I fell from a cliff into the water. I blacked out, woke up, and I just heard you outside! I was running away from-"

The operator points the camera outside where the bushes are moving.
"Just put the camera away we don't need it right now! We have to go to Canterlot and contact Celestia about this, and figure out what the Tartarus is going on."
The film cuts to the two ponies in a car,driving out of the forest when suddenly, the roar can be heard from the forest echoing into the car.
"Oh celestia! Was that the candymare you saw earlier!?"
"That must be her. It sounds like a death whistle from the ancient times, we'd better to get out of here!"
30 minutes elapse before the Candymare can be seen in the mirror behind the car chasing them.
"Oh crap! Swift go faster! We have to escape!" Just before they accelerate, the Candymare jumps on top of the car. The sound of hoofsteps can be heard on top of it.
The winged creature, goes on in front of the car, lifting it up with its tentacles.
"Blaze, stop! Your life is more worth it then that!"
The Candymare makes a dent on top of the car of what seems a jawbreaker mace. Giggling can be heard.
"Peekaboo!"
"Did the candy creature just talk!?"
"Well, now we know!"
A gunshot can be heard as the car was dropped down to the road.
A Gunshot can suddenly be heard, sending the Candymare flying.
The creature at the front flies off.
The stallion with the shotgun knocked at the car door. "You! Get out of the car! We need to talk!"
"Why should we!? We don't know you!"
"No, but I know who that thing is, and I know what that plague is. Just come with me, I know a friend of mine that can help you."
"Why should we trust you?"
"You don't need to, I'm just trying to keep you safe."
The operator takes a deep breath and gets out of the car along with Jackpot.
"Follow me, i know of a place! Come on!"
The camera moves into the wood.
The middle-aged stallion knocks on a door.
"Zecora, I have the two survivors with me! They need our help!"
"Come inside my friend, their lives must not end."
The room is filled with potions and strange objects and totems
"That's Zecora."
"OK, who the Tartarus are you?"
"And why did you save us from that thing?"
The stallion takes off the head, showing his identity.
"I'm Lemon Smith, brother of Lime Valve. That creature that was hunting you down is my sister in law, Beignet Sweets. She's an urban legend known as the Candymare. If you fail to leave candy to her as tribute in the Everfree Forest, she'll devour you. Over time, this became the story of Nightmare Moon, hence Nightmare Night."
"Why are you telling us this?"
"She suffered from the exact same infection that claimed the life of your friend. It's called the Equinox Plague."
"The Equinox Plague? I thought that was wiped out!"
"It can be cured. Zecora?"
"The knowledge i have is not a dud, the cure you seek is alicorn blood."
"That stuff is expensive to get!"
"Then we need to tell celestia about the plague."
"but how are we going to do that!?"they're still out there trying to find us!"
"This point it seems is hard to put, but I do know of a shortcut."
The camera is now moving through a forest
"So, she's saying that this portal goes to Canterlot?"
"Yes, but I don't know if we can open the portal in time-look behind you!"
The Candymare is suddenly on screen, looking extremely angry.
"Crap, we'd better hurry!"
zecora raises a hoof, produces a green potion, and opens a portal.
The camera moves, now in Jackpot's hoof.
"Jackpot, you will show Celestia the evidence; if I die, tell Celestia what happened."
These two cards contain the evidence that you and your friend need."
"The portal can only be used by one, you have to go alone."
"But but I can't be alone now, I can't!"
"It's alright kid, we'll be there for you when we are gone."
The camera begins to back up, as the Candymare appears and kills Swift.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! WHYYYYYY! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GOOOOOOO!"
"Sir, calm down."
The film cuts off.
