Kinky Camp Everfree

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Eternal shouted. Shadow moved back a little, worried that his cousin will slug him again.

"I uh... I kinda... knocked up Pinkie Pie," Shadow said quietly, rubbing the back of his head.

"Shadow have you lost your marbles?! Do you have any idea of the struggles you'll end up facing at such an early age? What the hell were you thinking?!" Eternal shouted.

"Hey, hey! Don't get mad at me, Pinkie came onto me," Shadow put up his hands defensively.

"Yeah, but it was also your fault for pushing her to go that far!" he argued back. Eternal stopped himself from losing his head and focused on his breathing exercise. "However... you did say she was stuck with you, so if you're gonna be supporting her, then I won't stop you. But I'm not so sure what your mother will say about this, or your dad."

"I'll tell them soon, trust me," Shadow said, his expression not as laid-back as it usually is. But as for Pinkie Pie over in her tent.

"He went an' did WHAT to ya?!" Applejack asked, shocked.

"Please don't go after him, I wanted this in the first place. I just couldn't resist Shadow Force, it felt so wonderful, much more than any bakery sale I've hosted," Pinkie said.

“So ya let some random student put some apple seeds in ya?! Do ya even know what rearin’ a youngin means?”

"My mom and dad raised me and my sisters, the only difference between me and Shadow is us being young parents. Besides, he was the first boy who ever liked me for me. I don't care how many babies I have, I just want them and my Shady-Wady to be happy," Pinkie insisted.

"Pinkie, y'all have mah support, but it might raise a lot o' red flags with yer family. Ya understand this ain't an easy road, right?" AJ asked.

"100%. Just, please try to understand," Pinkie begged.

Aj sighed and squeezed the bridge between her eyes. "Pinkie, yer mah friend and Ah fully understand yer situation. Ya want me ta tell the other gals?"

"In due time. But right now, I just need some rest," Pinkie said. Applejack nodded, deciding not to say another word for the time being. Still, she was in shock to find out Pinkie actually got with one of the CTI students. AJ only hopes things don't spiral too out of control.

The next day, neither Applejack, nor Eternal said a word to their friends about the incident. The trip was almost over and it was nearly time to create a memento for the camp. On this particular day, Gloriosa wasn't at the campsite to greet the campers. This concerned both the campers and the principals.

"I do say, where do you girls suppose she could be?" Rarity asked.

"It's usually not like her to not show up and greet us. Where could she be?" Rainbow asked.

"Maybe she's using the restroom. Even hosts need to take a break every once in a while." Fluttershy pointed out.

"So you're saying it's normal for someone to take an hour-long bathroom break?" Sunset asks.

"Something isn’t adding up at all.” Twilight mused as she readjusted her glasses, “Between what has been going on, Filthy Rich’s threats, and Gloriosa’s insistence on doing everything, there has to be some correlation.”

"It looks like those two brothers think so, too. Look, they're sneaking off into the forest," Pinkie pointed out. Twilight and Sunset looked into the direction Pinkie pointed to. Just like she said, both Eternal and Heat Blitz were both heading out into the forest.

"It looks like this can only mean one thing. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Sunset asked.

"We'd better follow them. They might not know what they're getting themselves into," said Twilight, worried. Sunset agreed with Twilight and the two girls soon followed the boys close behind, quickly catching up to them after navigating through the forest halfway.

"Twilight, Sunset, what brings you here?" Heat asked.

"Did you boys think we'd let you have all the fun searching the cave?" Sunset asked. "We want to know what's going on here as much as you guys. So whether you like it or not, we're helping out one way or another."

"I can't argue with you either way, you're the ones with the powers," Eternal said. He gestured the girls to follow him and Heat Blitz farther into the forest. Thanks to their teamwork, they reached the spot where they found the cave. Hearts got heavy with pressure and slight twitch of fear as they slowly approached the entrance.

"Eternal, whatever you do, don't do anything rash," Sunset whispered. Her childhood friend nodded and then one-by-one, they all snuck into the cave. What they find inside leaves them all speechless beyond anything that they imagined. Inside the cave, it was large enough to host a concert big enough for an entire class. However, at the end of the cave was a pedestal that held these strange geode crystals.

"Hey girls, are you seeing this?" Heat asked, running up to the geodes. He attempted to reach out and grab one of the remaining geodes, but...

"Wait, stop!" Twilight said. “We have no idea what they could do! If we take any rash action, It could possibly render this entire area a crater!”

"Oh right... sorry about that," Heat retracted his hand.

"Whatever these geodes are, someone must've taken a liking to them because some of them aren't even here. Look," Eternal points at the 5 empty holes where the other geodes should be.

"Do you think it's possible this could have something to do with the crazy stuff that's been happening here?" Sunset asked.

"Shouldn't you 4 be back at the campsite?" asked a female voice.

Sunset and Twilight gasped as they both looked behind them to see Gloriosa Daisy blocking their exit. Her expression was anything but smiles and sunshine. Heat Blitz and Eternal were both shocked to see her here.

"So it was you coming out of the cave that night! Gloriosa what's going on here?" Eternal asked, trying not to sound rude.

"Sorry, but I can't tell you," Gloriosa said.

"You don't have to tell us. I can find out for myself," Sunset said, grabbing her wrist.

In Gloriosa's memories, Sunset could see the meeting she had with Filthy Rich before he arrived at the camp when everyone else was around. Sunset saw him and Gloriosa having an argument about Filthy taking the camp and turning it into a hotel resort with a spa. Gloriosa was begging him to give her more time. Reluctantly, he agreed to give her 'til the end of the month to come up with the money.

Gloriosa was a nervous wreck. She knew she couldn't come up with that much money to keep her camp up and running. Then came the day when she stumbled across the cave with the magic geodes. Realizing how much power those things held, she was determined to use them to their fullest and keep her camp safe.

Then came the days when everyone was doing their camp activities. Her memories showed Gloriosa using the geodes to enhance the students' abilities from the tug-of-war to the swimming race. Even the sailing and rock climbing incident. It was all her. Once Sunset saw enough, she pulled away from Gloriosa's wrist.

"What was that for?" Gloriosa asked, yanking her arm away from Sunset.

“I can’t believe it!” Sunset gasped, “The rope, the swimming race, the rock climbing... all of it was your doing!”

"What? But why would she do that?" Heat Blitz asked in disbelief.

"It must have something to do with why that grease ball, Filthy Rich showed up that day." Eternal guessed. "If I know that greedy bastard, he wants to buy this camp and tear it all down!"

"Is that true, Gloriosa?" Twilight asked.

"That's right! That man wants to take away the camp that my grandparents built! And I swore I would do anything to keep that from happening, but it feels like no matter what I do, I just make things worse!" Gloriosa said.

"Why didn't you just tell us? We would've helped save the camp by opening up a charity. Why keep it all to yourself?" Heat asked.

"Because... I... GOT THIS!!!" Gloriosa shouted before using the geodes she has to trap the four friends in vines and then took the remaining geodes with her back to camp. "And I won't let you interfere with my plans." To their surprise, Gloriosa moved this huge boulder that was outside the cave and used it to block the exit.

"She's gone out of control! We have to stop her right now!" Twilight said.

"How? Even if we got free of these vines, that boulder is too heavy to push out of the way, even with our combined strength!" Eternal pointed out.

"Well, there has to be something we can do. If we don't act fast, she might hurt the other campers by accident," Sunset said.

"No... I won't allow her to harm them! Especially not my cousin!" Eternal said, almost losing his temper trying to pull the vines off his legs.

"Eternal, calm down. We'll get out of here, we just need to think this through,"

“Calm down? CALM DOWN?! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN WHEN MY COUSIN IS IN DANGER?!”

In that moment, when his anger was becoming more hostile, bits of flames start seeping out of his body as well as what looked like Equestrian magic. The vines gave way to the heat and turned to ash.

"Eternal, I know it might sound weird, but... there's fire on parts of your body!" Sunset tried not to panic. Eternal's eyes caught sight of the tiny flames that covered parts of his body.

"How...can this be?" He asked, shocked.

"It must've happened when you lost your temper for a second there. Quick, use it to burn these vines off of us, but try not to barbeque us," Twilight said.

"Understood," Eternal kneeled down to the ground and gripped the vines. Concentrating on his anger, his hands soon caught fire and the vines quickly got charred up and slowly crumbled into burnt up charcoal, breaking easily, thus setting the others free.

"Let's go! Gloriosa might have become corrupted by the magic!" Sunset said. The others followed her to the exit, which was still blocked by the boulder.

"I'll handle this," Twilight said. She put her hands out in front of her and used her new magic powers to levitate the boulder out of the way, allowing them to finally escape. Once they were out of the cave, they knew they had to warn the others.

Back at the campsite, the rest of the students were all busy hanging out with their friends doing whatever floated their boat. The students from Canterlot High cooked marshmallows over fires while those from CTI were at the lake fishing. As Gloriosa looked over at the busy campers, a sense of regret loomed over her. She swore to protect the camp by any means. Even if it means doing the unthinkable.

She took in a deep breath and walked out into the campsite, letting everyone know of her presence and were relieved to see her alright.

"Fellow campers, I have an announcement. As some of you are curious about why Filthy Rich came the other day, there's a reason why... He means to tear down our precious Camp Everfree," Gloriosa said, making everyone gasp. Celestia and Luna were shocked as well. "Yes, it's a shock for me as well, but I plan to make sure that this camp remains unharmed... and I will see to it that NO ONE STANDS IN OUR WAY!!!"

Gloriosa invoked the power of her geode crystals. Their magic surrounded her and changed her into a corrupted version of herself. Her glorious magenta hair changed into a dark teal color. Her eyes turned pitched black with glowing green irises. Her cute yellow shirt was replaced with a forest green dress with a matching skirt and leggings. Right on her chest area is where the geode crystals were at.

Everyone at camp seemed to panic at the sight of her transformation. "Now, fellow campers... it's time to take a stand... for Everfree!" she said before she started singing.

The campers panicked even more as tree roots started coming out of the ground. Celestia, Luna, and Sombra all took most of the campers to the cabin where they would be safe. In doing so, Gloriosa trapped them there with the many tree roots and vines, The ones who didn't make it into the cabin were left outside at the corrupted host's mercy. The girls, however, weren't gonna take this lying down.

Meanwhile, Twilight, Sunset, Eternal and Heat all arrived at the campsite, but the camp was blocked off by a large dome made of tree roots and vines.

"Crap, we're too late!" Eternal said, worried. "How are we supposed to get through this damn thing now?"

"Don't you have your fire powers?" Heat asked.

"Yeah, but to get past that thing, I'd have to shoot out a stream of flames. And if you haven't noticed, those roots are thick," Eternal argued, "Only something explosive would break through that barrier temporarily."

"Explosive?" Twilight asked before getting an idea. "Wait, THAT'S IT!"

While the four friends plan their strategies outside the dome, Rarity tried to reason with Gloriosa with a proposition. "Come now, darling. Why don't we all just... relax and... soothe those cares away with a trip to the spa?" but alas, this only made things worse.

"To the spa?" she asked sweetly. "TO THE SPA?!?!?!" her demeanor changed to anger and fury, resulting in her using her powers to trap the girls in more tree roots. Rarity used her powers to block off the roots that tried to constrict her. Pinkie Pie, on the other hand, took out a tub of powdered sugar and threw it at the roots. The sugar exploded upon impact and blew some of the roots away. Even then, they kept growing.

“Really?” Gloriosa scoffed as she turned her attention to them, “Why do you try to stop what I’m doing to SAVE Camp Everfree?! Idiotic!”

"Yeah, but it's no fun if you're keeping everyone hostage here! There are better ways to save the camp than resorting to desperate measures like this!" Tidal Wave called out from the cabin.

"He's right! Ah can't stand to see this camp go either. So why don't ya lose those gems and we'll help ya out!" Applejack said.

"There's no need... I... GOT THIS!!!" Gloriosa refused. More roots shoot out from the ground, causing Pinkie to toss her tub of powdered sugar at the dome out of fear, The impact created a hole big enough for anyone to jump through. And right on cue, Sunset, Twilight, Heat and Eternal all jumped through just before the hole closed up.

"Gloriosa!!!" Eternal yelled out, getting her attention. "Let our pals go!"

"You have no authority to boss me around, you little NUISANCE!!!" soon, she sends in one of the roots to grab him. He jumps out of the way, dodging it successfully, but is then cornered by more tree roots.

"Alright, if you're gonna be difficult with me, I'll just have to turn up the heat in here!" Eternal said, creating two fireballs in his hands. Somehow, the roots sensed the extreme heat coming from the flames in his hands and backed off as if they knew. the danger. He threw a couple of them at the roots, He missed on but got the other. It screeched and retreated underground,

Twilight and Sunset ran over to their friends, who were in a bit of a shock, but remained unharmed thankfully. Twilight's eyes darted away when she saw Heat Blitz running over to Gloriosa, who was levitating off the ground.

"Heat Blitz, NO!" Twilight yelled out. But Heat Blitz didn't listen. Twilight could only watch as he jumped onto one of the roots that tried to catch him, then used it at a spring to leap higher up and grab onto the corrupt Gloriosa.

"Gloriosa wait, this has to stop!" he said, holding on for dear life.

"Let go of me, I have a camp to protect!" Gloriosa tried to shake him off, but Heat refused to let go of her and kept on trying.

"Gloriosa, I understand that this camp means so much to you! If I were in your shoes, I'd probably be doing the same thing. But this isn't the right way to do it! You don't have to do things on your own! Please, stop this madness and let us help you!" he said,

"What do you know about anything? You haven't struggled for as long as I have to keep this whole camp running smoothly! Know your place and STAY OUT OF MY WAY!!!" she gripped his throat, yelling at his face, The tree roots then grabbed him by the legs, scaring him as the roots slammed him to the ground.

Twilight gasped and ran over to Heat Blitz. He was barely conscious, but his body ached pretty badly and he was unable to move properly. "Heat Blitz, are you alright?" Twilight asked, worried about him.

"I... I think I'm oka-- OW, MY ARM!!!" Heat said, gripping his left arm. While Twilight was tending to him, Eternal watched from afar, His eyes widened from seeing his brother taking such a violent punishment. Suddenly... he snapped.

The area around him quickly began to heat up. His body was engulfed in flames. The others quickly saw him losing control. Even Gloriosa witnessed it. Eternal let out a ferocious battle cry and flames erupted high up, creating a massive hole in the root dome. The people couldn't see Eternal anymore, just a violent burst of flames that surrounds him.

But when the flames finally dispersed... they were looking at a monster that was no longer Eternal Flames. His eyes were golden yellow with black, slitted pupils with the outer parts a dark burgundy color. That snow white skin turned into yellow-ish white. Hot flames flickered atop his head where his hair would be. He still had the same scars under his eyes. His body had bulked up slightly and his expression was a calm, angry glare.

"I can never forgive you for what you've done," he said in a deep distorted voice.

“What’s happening to him?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“It’s as I feared.” Sunset solemnly spoke, “His latent magic has broken free. He’s lost control and now his energy controls him in a berserker state.”

"There's gotta be something we can do to stop him, but what?" Fluttershy asked.

"I don't know, but all I can say is this: He's definitely his mother's son," Sunset said, watching in shock and awe.

"So you want to fight back, do ya? Fine, but you've just walked into a world of trouble!" Gloriosa threatened as she launched more tree roots to restrain Eternal. He doesn't budge and allows the tree roots to wrap around his body tightly. His body temperature rises up through the roof, incinerating the roots and then breaks free, sending the burnt parts flying in huge charcoal chunks everywhere.

"Fire and grass do not mix. Life lesson 101," he said menacingly, sticking his hand out in her direction before shooting a burst of flames at her. Gloriosa has little time to dodge and gets caught in the blast. She's sent flying back and hits the ground hard. Eternal walks up to her, igniting his arms in searing flames.

Sunset's worries grew more intense, not just because he was growing more corrupt, but she could also see his hands starting to turn red from the heat. She was growing scared because the flames were damaging him, too.

"Your time has run out, mortal. Now, you will feel the true wrath of your master and executioner... Supernova!" he growled, getting closer to the still knocked-out Gloriosa.

"Girls, there's no time! We have to stop them both before they end up killing themselves!" Sunset said.

"But how? We couldn't even defend ourselves earlier," Rarity pointed out.

"There's another way to stop all this. Now quick, everyone, join hands," Sunset said. The girls all rushed over to Sunset, Joining hand-in-hand, their magic auras surrounded them. Soon, the geodes on Gloriosa float over to the girls, enhancing their magical abilities. All except for a certain bookworm. "Twilight, what's wrong?"

"I... I can't do it. What if Midnight Sparkle takes control of me," Twilight asked.

"Twilight, trust me, she won't. She has no power over you. Just dig deep!" Sunset said. "I know you can do it."

Though she was frightened about the whole ordeal, Twilight knew that lives were on the line, so she tossed aside her fears for the time being and dug deep inside her, trying to tap into her true, unlocked powers.

Inside her mind, her fears quickly came back when from right behind her. "You will never control me, for I am more powerful!" Midnight said. She transformed into a dark magical mist, entering inside her body, trying to take over her.

"Twilight, remember what I said!" Sunset's voice called out. "You are stronger than her. You are not Midnight Sparkle! Don't hold anything back!"

Twilight put up a good fight against her darker half, and soon... she regained control and dispelled her. After her internal battle of wills, her vision came back to reality. Now in full control of her power, she turned her attention back to Supernova, driven by her will. Seeing him terrorizing the camp goers and her friends made her goal as clear as the day. He must be stopped while his human vessel must be saved.

"I am not Midnight Sparkle... I am Twilight Sparkle!" she yells out. She then undergoes her transformation using the power of her geode. Now that all of the girls are ready, they unleashed their powers onto the two corrupted individuals. A magic rainbow surrounded them both. Gloriosa was still knocked out and Supernova yelled out in a fit of rage and agony.

Finally, a burst stream of magic exploded, blinding everyone in the camp and destroying the root dome surrounding them. Supernova let out a roar before he was transformed back into Eternal Flames and collapsed to the ground, unconscious with Gloriosa. The camp host regains consciousness first and looks all around her.

The look of horror and shock on everyone brought a sense of guilt in Gloriosa's heart. She realized she had done wrong and decided to confess.

"I'm sorry. I caused you all a lot of trouble. When I found the geodes, I only wanted to use them to fix the little things at this camp. But the magic was too much for me to handle and I lost control over... well everything. I'm truly sorry. I understand if you'd want to leave." Gloriosa soon hanged her head in shame.

"But don't you see?" Heat Blitz said, trying to get up. Twilight ran over to help him up to his feet. "We love this camp as much as you do. Yes, you lost control, but in the end you were saved. I don't want to see this camp go down under and neither do the other guys. There's no need to do things on your own. We'll do anything we can to help. Right, Ete--" Heat stopped when he realized his brother was still unconscious and had steam emitting from his entire body and burn marks on his arms. "ETERNAL!!!" he screamed.

He rushes towards his body, feeling the ambient heat radiating from him. Touching his skin, it still felt piping hot to the touch. As much as wanted to, Heat Blitz couldn’t give his brother a hug without burning himself. His eyes filled with tears as he worried for his kin. He never moved an inch and he feared the worst.

"Guys! He's burning up! Please, help him!" Heat panicked, crying his eyes out. Twilight heard his distress and ran over to her weeping friend. Twilight then used her magic to levitate Eternal's unconscious body, rushing over to the lake and carefully placed him in the water. "Twilight, what are you--"

"This is the only thing we can do to cool him off! I promise you, he's gonna be okay," Twilight said, holding Heat's hand. Heat nodded and put his faith in Twilight. Meanwhile, Twilight did all she could to get Eternal's temperature to go down. In just a couple of minutes, the steam in his body disappears and right away, his eyes slowly opened.

After he regained consciousness, his memories of what he's done flooded his mind and gasped before swimming out of the lake, away from the campers.

"Wha-- Eternal, where are you going?" Heat asked.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME! I'M A MONSTER!!!" he yelled out running away.

"Eternal, come back!" Heat said. "Guys, come on, he needs us!" he turns to the others as he said that.

"I'm right behind you," Twilight said.

"Count us in as well," Celestia said, walking up with her sister and brother-in-law, Sombra, following her. "I won't allow him to ostracize himself for something out of his control.”

“Agreed, sister.” Luna said as she dusted herself, “But, we need to be delicate about this.”

“I honestly wished I saw this coming.” Sombra mused, “If I knew earlier… oh jesus.”

"None of us knew this was gonna happen. And now that it has happened, we have to fix this right away. The one who's feeling the most pain right now is Eternal. I've never seen him so scared of himself before," Sunset said.

"Just like... I was scared of myself, too. He deserves to know that he's not alone. So let's not waste any time," Twilight said. The others agreed with each other and ran off, looking for their scared friend.

They quickly find him over by the river, splashing his face with water and yelling at himself. "Damn you! Damn you! DAMN YOU!!! Why did you have to lose control like that, you stupid son of a bitch! How the hell are you supposed to face them now!" While looking at his reflection in the water, he still mentally saw his darker half looking back at him... growling and smiling at him. "GET AWAY YOU DEMON!!!" he then slammed his fist into the water, panting heavily.

“Uhhh… hello, Eternal?” Sunset softly said as she slowly approached him, “Are you… okay?”

"What do you think?" he said, keeping his gaze away from his loved one. "You saw what happened out there, I know what I did. I'm a goddamn monster who almost burnt this entire camp to the ground. I'm no better than that slimebag, Filthy Rich."

"That's not true," Celestia intervened. "The only reason you lost control was because you saw Heat Blitz get hurt. You were just trying to protect him."

"It's true the evil inside you took over, but you didn't know this would happen. Even I wasn't aware that this would happen. But you have to listen to me when I say this: You are not a monster at all." Heat Blitz said, holding his injured arm.

"Your brother's right. Take me, for example. I nearly lost myself when I ended up turning into Midnight Sparkle, yet Sunset was the one who saved me and made everyone see that in the end, I'm still me. Just like how you're still you. You are Eternal Flames and there's nothing that's gonna change that." Twilight said.

"How do I know you're not doing this to make me feel better?" Eternal asked, not wanting to look at them.

"Because we care about you. Your family and friends care too much for your to see you acting like this. I've always known that you the kind of young man to pick up others and help them stand together. Well now, the time has come for us to help you stand back up. You might have transformed, but it doesn't change our perspective of you. Now come on... on your feet," Principal Sombra said, extending his hand out to his student.

“Why do you still care about me… even though I did what I did?” Eternal asked back with tears welling in his eyes, “I want you to take a few goddamn minutes to REMEMBER WHAT I JUST DID EARLIER!”

"Eternal... I know how you feel. I had the same thoughts as you do back when I turned into a raging she-demon. Don't you remember? I told you this the other day. In the end, Princess Twilight found it in her heart to forgive me for my mistakes, just like we're able to forgive you for your mistakes. And like how we forgave Twilight for her mistakes," Sunset said, hugging him. "And besides... I love you too much to see you suffering like this."

Eternal's eyes shot open. "Wh-What was that?" he asked. Sunset looked directly into his eyes and gave him a sad smile, her eyes swelling with tears.

"I love you, Eternal," Sunset said. Eternal's heartbeat raced faster than before. In return for Sunset's confession, he hugged her, never letting go. She embraced him lovingly while he sobbed quietly in her shoulder.

"I love you too, Sunset. I'm... so sorry. I never wanted this whole mess to happen," Eternal said all choked up. The others allowed Sunset and Eternal to have their moment. Sombra looked down at his student with a proud smile. Seeing him finally break out of his shell meant a lot to him after everything Eternal went through. Heat Blitz and Celestia were happy to finally see Eternal lifting such a heavy burden off of his shoulders and find love.

Luna was also proud of her nephew, but shedded a few tears after seeing him cry for the first time in years. Twilight felt the same way as everyone else did. The nightmare was finally over for them. But the real battle is only beginning.
