Children Of Madness

Emma laughing maniacally as Celestia's guards surround her and the main six get ready to fight but are more surprised that a pony has turned human. Celestia shocked and stunned, thoughts running through her mind as she tries to wrap her mind on how Fear's child has lived all this time. The royal guard steps closer with spears and shields and she looks at them with a grin. Emma says with a smile, " Grandmother, please you know these pawns won't do anything to me. you should be more worried about what I can do to them.". Emma grins as they take a step and they stop and their eyes widen. Celestia with a gasp as she knows what Emma did, a wind blows and the spears, shields, and their heads fall to the ground. Emma with a smile walks past them and their bodies fall painting the ground and grass red.

Ponies started to run and twilight is shocked along with her friends as Rainbow Dash with tear charges at Emma but Emma's ghost arm grabs rainbow midair by the neck choking her. Rainbow surprised trying to figure out what's going on as Emma brings them face to face and says, " You know I do love your mane, mind if I take it? ". Emma smiles and another ghost arm comes out of her back and grabs Rainbows main and starts pulling slowly and Rainbow screams and bleeding. Celestia blasts Emma and she goes flying Twilight along with Flutter Shy with tears grab Rainbow off the ground and away from that monster.

Celestia makes sure there away as she says, " Get everyone out of Ponyvill now Twilight! ". Twilight looks at Celestia but before Twilight could try and reason to stay Emma stands up and looks at Celestia with a grin. Celestia looks at her and screams at Twilight, "TWILIGHT NOW! GO! ". Twilight nodding and her and her friends and one wounded Rainbow Dash run to there home to warn their friends and family. Celestia staying behind as she is getting ready for battle, Emma stands and goes to her. Emma says, " You know grandmother if you attacked me with that any other day, I probably would have been beaten that very second. Thankfully I am thankful for having my father's strength and his guidance. ". She points up to the blood moon and then they fight.

In Ponyvill the main six go to the castle as Rainbow Dash is bleeding her eyes closed as her face is colored red and her main painted in her own blood. Twilight trying to heal her as Apple Jack Rarity and the others try to get everypony out of here to safety. Rainbow screaming in pain as Twilight tries stitching the rips shut and stops the bleeding. After an hour Rainbow is out cold and healing Twilight trying to think how something like this has happened. The others come in as everypony is out of Ponyvill and ClouldsDale. Before the ponies could reach back to Celestia she comes flying and slams into the ground hard. Twilight runs up to the crashed Princess and tries to help her up as Celestia is hurt.

Twilight says with worry, " Princess Celestia are you okay?! ". Celestia nods trying to speak but Emma with a laugh as she walks up to them and says with a smile, " My dear grandma, you really are getting old in your age. If I'm able to beat you so bad then father is going to make you look like a novice. ". Emma laughs hard as blood is on her hands, the main six wonder if its from the fight or if she killed others on her way here. Twilights remaining friends stay before Twilight and the injured Celestia protecting them. Emma watches and chuckles saying, " You four really think you can beat me? Sorry to say my orders are not to kill you, my father wants to see you all alive. ".

Emma raises her hand and snaps and a portal is made with red mist surrounding it, Emma turns and walks to it. Apple Jack with determination charges Emma and grabs a lasso and tries to make her stay. Emma grabs the loop and spins her in the air and slams her in the ground and chuckles saying, " Sorry but I'm on a schedule I have to complete some tasks before times up. ". Emma pats her bag and hops inside the portal and it closes, Pinky Pie runs to Apple Jack and AJ gets up hurt but okay as the main six regroup in the castle as twilight heals Celestia and Rainbow is still out cold.

Twilight looks at Celestia and asks, " Princess what was that thing? How did she turn into a human? ". Celestia groans as the healing process goes on and with a sigh, she looks down and looks at them. Celestia says with a saddened heart, " That was the daughter of a powerful monster, His name is Fear and if we don't stop Emma he will come back and make Equestria mad. ". The ponies look at her as she tells this story with shock and aw. Celestia continues as her healing finishes and says, " Fear was my creation made by scientists in a secret lab. Fear was supposed to be an answer to why evil can grow in our world, My most trusted scientists collected materials from many areas and species and then one day he was born. Fear learned our history and everything that the school taught you all, sadly he escaped and for years he caused so much misery for everypony. ".

Celestia tells Fears' story as it ends with him being defeated with a spell given to her by a friend. Emma was made by him in a tube when fear was beaten, she sent her guards to search for Emma all across Equestria but to no avail. Celestia thought that Emma had been dead so long ago, but she was wrong, Spike runs to Twilight and hands her a scroll sent to him by luna from Canterlot. Twilight reads it and says wide eye, " Emma is in Canterlot, and it's in flames. ". Everypony surprised as they get ready to go to Canterlot ready to fight and Rainbow is up and moving. Rarity goes to her and says, " Rainbow you shouldn't be up darling you need to heal. ". Rainbow shakes her head and looks at them saying, " No. Not till I pay that girl back. ". Celestia looks at every pony and makes a portal to Canterlot and they all step in, what they see is an inferno straight from Tartarus.

A pony screams as Canterlot is in chaos. Fire engulfs buildings as the stones of Canterlot are soaked and dyed in blood, Ponies of high society run injured or burning to escape but many bodies decorate the ruins of the buildings. The main six and Celestia appear and look around as they put their eyes on the castle and see where the flags should stand the royal guard dead and impaled and shining in the scarlet red moonlight. The smell of iron and blood fills the air along with burning meat. The ponies go to the castle as the Blood moon is at its final hours, Celestia turns to the main six and says, " Be careful to you all we must stop her before she can complete her father's plans. ". The main six nod and they all enter the castle ready for a fight.

They trot into the castle with was hit the hardest holes and coulombs broken and busted, blood and entrails splatter on the carpet and walls. Celestia more worried that her sister is hurt or worse, Rarity looks at the tapestry and says, " Oh dear there ruined beyond help. ". The other ponies look at her and she regrets saying that The castle shakes as they run to the throne room and they see Luna on the ground breathing hard and injured as Emma sits on the their throne. Celestia goes to luna trying to help her up, Luna breathing hard says, " I'm sorry sister I tried to stop her. ". Celestia holds her close and says, " Its okay sister I am just so glad you are alright. ". Emma laughs as she watches this.

Emma looks at them and with a grin says, " Do you all like what I have done with the place? I think I have a keen eye for interior decorating. ". Emma chuckles holding an eyeball and throws it at them. The eye hits and stabs onto Rarity's horn and she screams and tries to get it off as Twilight helps her Emma chuckles watching them. When they finally get it off Emma stands up and says, " with the Blood moon on its final hour who wants to have a final dance with me? ".

Celestia growls as she fires a beam of magic and Emma blocks it with her hand but slides backward trying to withstand her attack. Emma can tell her power is fading slowly as the blood moon recedes back. Celestia realizes this and looks at the main six and says, " Every pony together now! Use the power of friendship! ". The main six nods and close there eyes and concentrate as the power of friendship flows through them and they fire a beam of a rainbow at Emma, then Luna and Celestia join their power to the rainbow blast and it covers her as Emma screams and flies hard into the wall. Emma falls to the ground out cold and Celestia ties and bounds Emma so she will not escape.

With the Blood moon almost over in a few moments Emma awakes gaged and tied down with powerful spells and her turning back to a pony slowly more and more. Celestia's eyes widen as she hurries down to the cage where Fears skull lies and she grabs the scroll from her bag and speaks the spell as her horn glows and a ray of light surrounds the scarlet red skull as a ring is made around it but something isn't right Celestia thought to herself. Even with the Blood moon why did Emma come here and not take her father's skull? Why do all this damage and not kill us when she had the power? when the spell is done the ring breaks. Celestia looks at it and goes up to it and hears cracking, The skull breaks apart and she realizes. "It's a false skull! ". Celestia says as she turns pale and runs back upstairs noticing the markings on the wall are cut up and cracked.

Celestia returns back upstairs as the moon is setting and runs to Emma now almost fully pony and says scared, " WHERE DID YOU PUT THE SKULL! ". Emma chuckles in her gag as she laughs the sun rising as her bag glows red and floats. Celestia and everypony watch as Emma laughs as the skull burns her bag and the three eye holes glow red and float with the sun rising. Soon a red mist appears in the throne room as the skull grows skin and bone out of it making a body out of thin air. Emma takes the gag off on her own and laughs maniacally saying, " Ready or not ponies! Here comes father! ". Soon a red flash surrounds the newly formed body as every pony in the room is stricken with fear as their legs shake, the hairs on there back stand on edge as a man stands before them. His hair raven black, his nails sharp curved and long, horns poking out of his head and his grin shows pointed fangs. His three eyes the worst of them all, cold and black and the centers glow red as he shows no mercy or fun but only destruction and death.

Celestia looks at him as tears fall from her eyes and Emma smiles as Fear stands before them and he looks at his body and looks at all the ponies. Fear stretches and pops bones and joints back into place as outside it rains, but it's not normal rain but the droplets of water turn red and thick as blood, Its official the demon has returned the nightmare awakens again. Fear with a grin and sits on Celestia's throne says as lightning flashes red, " Well now that I'm back, let's begin the real fun mother Celestia. ". Fear chuckles and laughs as the blood rain continue and his laugh echos through the castle halls.
