In a alternet reality, we see how Pinkamina, Doctor Whooves, Apple Jack, and Chrysalis (who doesn't want to be here) become Ghostbusters.

In an alternative universe of Equestria, we follow four friends as they become infamous heroes.

Though, it would be helpful if their version of Equestria wasn't limited in the magic department so that only the most powerful beings had true magic...

And again, this wouldn't be too much of a problem, but without a large supply of magic the barrier between worlds... well... weakens.

Episode 1: We begin at the dead of night...

We begin at the dead of night as a security guard peers up at the cold cell, watching the jail's only prisoner sleep. Just last month they had transferred this vile find here from Dark Magic Prison, yet tomorrow she would begin her... 'parole'. He scuffed at this thought thinking she should have spent more time here, but it wasn't his call. However, he was happy about her getting 'the collar' at least. He let himself smirk.

He looked over at the clock to see how long until he could go home. The time said 12:58. Good, he thought, now all he had to do was wait two more minutes before he was allowed to leave. He opened a new bag of chips, leaned back, and started eating.

He couldn't wait to get home later that night. He had worked all week and even had to sleep in the jail each night. The only thing keeping him from leaving now was two more minutes. As he went back into the bag for another chip, he found its contents empty. Seeing this as a sign it was time to go, he looked at the clock. It said 12:58.

The guard stared. He could have sworn some time would pass by the time he finished his chips. Thinking the clock was broken, he stood up and walked towards it. As he picked it up, the time changed to 12:59. This confirmed that the clock worked, meaning that the chips disappeared within a minute. The guard shrugged before he went back to his chair. He nonchalantly threw the bag away and went back to his relaxing... when he heard crunching sound coming from the breakroom.

With no time to spare, he quickly grabbed his baton and ran into the break room. Almost as soon as he entered his eyes were drawn to something much more horrifying. Eyes widened with fear and a jaw dropped, he instantly booked it screaming in terror as he ran home!

Chrysalis awoke, displeased with the loud scream that had ruined her slumber. Still being half asleep, she just assumed that the guard was excited to go home and screamed in celebration. After all, to her, all were loud and annoying.

"YAY, TODAY'S THE DAY DOC!" The Pink pony yelled as she walked down the street. "NEW RECRUIT, ISNT IT EXCI-" a brown pony puts his hoof on her mouth.

"Pinkie, we need to be quiet. You remember our new 'friend' isn't legally a 'new recruit'. This is supposed to be community service, not a job hire. What we're doing is... not legal..." He said quietly into her ear. The two of them where getting looks.

"Oh, I know. That's why we signed up for this 'villain reformation program'. No one is willing to work for us willingly, so why not have a captive rookie?" Pinkie said in a cheerful whisper, "doing this lets us have an assistant who has to help us with our studies and can't report us to the royal guard without consequence to themselves!" Every pony within close range of the two walked swiftly away.

"So Doc... who are we getting to work for us---" Pinkie paused for a second after looking up and seeing where the two of them were. "EEEEE WE'RE HERE!" She began rushing towards the Jail.

"Pinkie wait up!" Doctor Whooves yelled as he chased after his fellow scientist!

Chrysalis awoke to a banging on her cell. The day guard had been trying to get her attention.

"Hay, the guard last night left without clocking out so we're gonna have to do some extra paperwork to account for this. So... you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer before we can let you out to your volunteer reformers. You need anything before I start working?"

Chrysalis stayed quiet out of spite. The guard shrugged her off and went to his paperwork, though he did feel a little shiver down his spine.

"WE'RE HERE!!!" Pinkie yelled as she busted through the jail lobby door. Everyone instantly went quiet as she entered. They all knew who she was. The Doctor followed after her and instantly understood what Pinkie had done... again...

"Pinkie, could you do me a favor and wait over there whilst I talk to the nice pony?" The Doctor said, pointing over to a corner in the room.

"Oh... O-Okie Dokie Lokie." Pinkie said trying to sound cheerful. She bounced over to the room's corner and moved a chair over to seat herself. After checking to make sure she'd stay in her seat, The Doctor went over to talk to somepony.

Pinkie was watching him wishing she could help... when a beeping sound began in her hair. She placed a hoof into her large Puffy hair and removed a small black (and loud) device. Staring at its messy screen, her eyes began to widen in shock!

"Delayed! What do you mean delayed!?" The Doctor yelled, viewable upset.

"Our night guard last night didn't check out as he left so now we have more paperwork to do regarding your... New friend" The table worker replied, trying to remain calm.

"Uhhhghgh, isn't there anything you can do?" The Doctor said in a disdained voice. The guard thought for a minute before shaking his head 'no'. The Doc groaned again as he was told to wait an hour before coming back. The Doc walked unhappily tp where Pinkie was. He began talking once he got close "Alright Pinkie, we're gonna have to... Wait... Celestia Dam It!" He said, seeing the chair empty.

Pinkie had sneaked into the restricted area of the jail, folwing the small black devices beeping. Something was here, and she intended to find it. It would be fine anyway, Doc was distracted so he wouldn't mind if she split off from her spot for just a little bit. Yep, everything was gonna be-

"Who are you?" a very rough and echoey voice questioned. Pinkie jumped out of her skin imidiently went into attack mode. She pulled out a metal bat form her hair and began swinging it around with her eyes closed. As she did so, The Doctor rushed back with a few guards guiding him.

" Pinkie, stop! " The Doctor yelled. "Look in front of you, LOOK IN FRONT. OF YOU!"

Pinkie did as told and went wide-eyed. She was attacking one of the cells with a very angry changeling inside.

"Wha..! But, but that voice..." Pinkie tried to explain, but the changeling did it for her.

"That-was-me you fool! I was curious about who you were, but then you began attacking my cell!" Chrysalis yelled.

" But... That's not right, the PKE reading lands me right here... Unless you're a-" The Doctor quickly covers Pinkies mouth.

"Our new friend!" he said with a big smile. "If I'm correct, you must be Chrysalis. The guards were nice enough to let me know who you were when we volunteered last week! I can't wait for us all to get along haha..." He said, glancing over at Pinkie at certain parts, then he glanced down at the PKE meter. The Doc went stone-faced. He snatched it out of Pinkies Whooves and quickly recalibrated it. The screen now said that something was being detected in the next room over; The breakroom. He took mental note of this and reached over Pinkie's shoulder. The guards escorted the two of them back into the main area.

Chrysalis was happy they left until she began to realize what was happening; she was gonna be living with that pink-haired freak who tried to kill her! Oh fun../

"Finally!" The Doctor yelled gladly as the pony at the front desk went into the back. A little while later, he came back out with a very displeased Chrysalis. Chrysalis had a strange silver collar on. The guard pointed towards the silver ring.

"This here's the collar." He said, handing a remote to The Doctor. "It's got two purposes. One is to keep her from shapeshifting, and two is in your hoof. If she misbehaves, you push the button and then 'ZAP'!" Chrysalis was unaware of the 'zaping' part.

"Thanks... I guess" He said, handing the remote over to Pinkie. She smiled whilst storing it away. The guard attached a leash to her collar and let everyone leave, though he did keep a close eye on Pinkie.

"So what now?" Chrysalis sarcastically asked she walked with (what she considered) her captors. "Songs? Dance numbers? Maybe a rousing game of tag? Go on, tell me!"

"I'm strapping an experimental radioactive device to your back." The Doctor said.

"Ha. Ha."

"What?"

"We get it, you're sooooo funny."

The Doctor was very confused. "Whats.... what do you mean by funny?"

Chrysalis chuckled... before looking at his confused face.

"WAIT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA-"

"Shhhhhhh," Pinkie said, swooping behind CHrysalis and placing a hoof on her mouth. "We can't let anyone know about our experiments, will get in trouble!" The pink pony whispered.

"... You know what? Kill me. Just blow me up now with your bomb." Chrysalis said dryly.

"Radioactive, not explosives." He replied. Pinkie jumped around Chrysalis.

"YAY TO DANGEROUS CHEMICALS!" Pinkie yelled. Even though the Pony's around them where looking, they didn't fully care. After all, everypony knew about those two and their dangerous experiments down at that firehouse. They only wished pity on the poor soul that was with them... even if that somepony had recently failed an assassination attempt on Princess Twilight and Queen Celestia.

I had a slinkie once...

Episode 2: "What. Is. That?"

"What. Is. That?" Chrysalis asked, staring down the odd white machine. The machine itself was a peculiar rectangle shape with four black wheels at each bottom corner. There were even odd doors to enter it. It almost looked like an elongated carriage, but just a little... Off.

"it's our latest invention" The Doctor proudly stated. "We call it, 'Car - model Ecto-1.' It, in basic terms, is a motorized vehicle with advance mechanical parts and do-dads that-"

"It's a horseless carriage." Pinkie said, interrupting The Doctor's long and detailed speech. The Doctor blushed before nodding his head in agreement. Chrysalis just stared, very uncomfortable.

Chrysalis sighed. "Yes well... Eh-hem. Can we Please continue on with the tour?" Chrysalis said, growing ever more impatient and uneasy. "The sooner you finish, the sooner I can go to sleep and pretend that you were both just a bad dream."

Pinkie smiled, "I like to think I'd make a nice and happy dream! Oh, maybe I could be a giant marshmallow pony or a friendly blue ghost, Oh! I could also be..." Pinkie began daydreaming aloud. The Doctor shook his face.

"Back on the topic of Ecto-1, it is the first stop on our lovely brick home tour." The Doctor said trying to re-rail the conversation back to Ecto-1. "It's reasoning for being invented is simple: Speed. When we (eventually) finish this baby, we will be able to get to any locations in no time at all! It's existence actually came from the realization of how slow we earth ponies are when compared to the wings of a Pegasus or the speed... Of..." The Doctor looked over at Chrysalis's board face. "You don't care, do you?"

" Me?! Not care! How could you accuse me of such rude behavior! I would never not care about worthless junk or your stupid face! How about we all go singing about how great sci- Ghazaaazaazzzza " Chrysalis was interrupted by Pinkie pressing down on the big red button she pulled out of her hair.

"Pinkie, no!"

" What Doc? We were told to use it if she acted rudely or something. I don't see a problem. " The Doctor pulled the remote out of Pinkies hoofs. "Hey, why'd you do that?" Chrysalis was relieved that the end of the electrical shocks came quick.

"Because, we do not electrocute her unless she does something truly evil, like blow up a building or attacking an orphan. We also press it if she eye's to escape. Got it?" The Doctor stated. Pinkie huffed and puffed but reluctantly agreed. " Good, then I'll be holding on to this for now." The remote was stored away behind The Doctor's tie. "Now then, back to the tour!"

Back at the Jail five hours later, a guard began his break and pulled out a nicely packed lunch. He had been waiting to eat all day. He licked his lips as he began to chomp down, but as he took the first bite all he bit down on where his own teeth. He looked up in astonishment as he discovered his entire lunch was completely missing.

"Son of a-" he was interrupted by something chewing at the exit door. He turned his head and screamed at the horrific sight.

He got out his table and ran to the corner of the windowless room. He tripped over something poking out of the ground; a small opening. Looking up and seeing the creature that scared him floating closer, he decided without thought or reasoning to opened up the floorboards.

Late at night, Chrysalis awoke from her slumber to a loud bang. She had been sleeping in a box that was given to her it an old blanket. She would have thought it rude if not for the fact all three of them had boxes to sleep in.

Scared that somepony might be dead and she might get blamed, she quickly went down the stairs to make sure there wasn't too much damage. Her face soured when she saw that everypony was alright.

"OH Chrysalis!" Pinkie yelled, "What brings you down here so late? You come down to see if we were okay or something? "

"What?! No!" She said, "I just wanted to laugh at you if any of you got hurt- Chrysalis noticed the table in front of the two. "Uh, what's that?" Chrysalis pointed at the strange set of three smoking black boxes.

" that's tomorrow's first test." The Doctor answered with a hint of excitement. The color around Chrysalis's face melted away as the boxes sparked, setting the table on fire. Pinkie and The Doctor quickly put it out. " Better get some sleep, you'll need it.! " Chrysalis stared at the smiling scientists. She went back up to her bedroom quietly and slowly.

"What's wrong with her?" The Doctor asked.

" Beats me! Anyways, you really believe those readings from today could make these things work? I mean, we've tried so many times before... " Pinkie said.

"Heh, Beats me. I'll just test them out tomorrow morning or something. Oh that reminds me, Rarity said she's coming over during breakfast, so we're gonna have to cover up all our science stuff." The Doctor placed a hoof on Pinkies' mouth as she tried to speak. " Yes, that means Ecto-1 as well. "

"Aw, trader sauce!"

The Guard was running down the cave system as something loud chased after him, cackling. He needed an exit and fast! The cave was lined with odd symbols and strange metallic boxes. It was also lit by a light blue glow, save for the green glint that's chasing our poor guard.

This place was the definition of creepy.

As he looked for a place to turn, he finally began to question what was going on; why was there a tunnel under the jail, and why was a green glowing 'thing' chasing him? As he asked his questions, he felt doomed. There seemed to be no escape, yet he kept running...Then he noticed something; some of the cave walls were poking unnaturally out...

It was a fine night down at The Sedgewick Hotel. Many guests from all over the world had entered for a stay: Griffins, Changelings, Ponies, even some Dragons were plowing into the main entrance of this fine establishment. Yes, Mrs. Spoild Rich was content. Then one of the Bellboys came up to the pretentious manager guarding the aria.

"Mrs. Rich? We have a problem in the basement..." He said. Her face quickly scrunched up.

" What?! Did my doormat of a husband break something, again?! Go on, tell me! " she said, sounding bothered.

"... You might want to look for yourself."

The two of them walked to the elevator, pressed the B1 button, and went down to the boiler room. Inside a Manehattan officer was cowering in the corner, mumbling something about the 'moon' and 'behind the boiler'. Spoiled Rich was... Let's say very unhappy. She would have started yelling at him if she hadn't noticed a green glow begins to engulf the room.I

Then there was a loud scream.

Rarity awoke early in the morning so that she could get herself cleaned up hassle-free. She felt like today was gonna be a good day. She put on her redpointed glasses, a fine dress, and a set of rounded earrings... than she remembered her hangout that was scheduled for with her crazy friends. Aw well, at least they wouldn't surprise her with anything... again... right?

Listen! You smell that?

Episode 3: 'That escalated quickly...

'That escalated quickly ' Rarity thought as she stood alone in the Firehouse. It had been an hour after she came over now after things started to escalate, so let's start from there;

Rarity started her day off as she usually did. She took a shower, put on a fancy dress, allied her makeup, and then dropped Sweetie off at school. However, today was different. Today she would be visiting The Doctor and Pinkie Pie for breakfast. They had been planning this for months before settling on a date. Of course, Rarity had some big news to give them but she wanted to wait for this special breakfast first.

Excited to tell the new she rushed over to there home. She rushed so quickly that she ran past somepony else running in the same direction without taking notice. Finally, she made it to her destination. Just inside this Firehouse was her two friends. She opened the large door expecting the best.

Rarity stated at the chaos in front of her as she entered. First off the table placed at the front of the entrance door was on fire. Second off was the Doctor scolding Pinkie for something, causing her to frown in frustration. Starring at the fire in fear was an oddly familiar-looking pony, though they've never meat. Looking around, she also noticed everything was covered in ugly and creased tarps.

"Okay Pinkie, what did we learn about making breakfast with the prototypes?" The Doctor said instead of his guest.

" not too... " Pinkie said feeling disappointed.

"And you want to put that on me?" Chrysalis said with a quiver in her voice. Rarity felt a shiver down her spine as Chrysalis spoke.

"Yes we do. keep up!" The Doctor said. "Now, let's clean up before Rarity comes. Trust me when I say me and Pinkie know how she can get around messes."

" And how do I get? " Rarity asked with a sarcastic tone. She had caught The Doctor off guard and made Pinkie jump. Chrysalis did not look up from the flames. "Go on tell me, I'm dying of curiosity."

Pinkie was the first to talk. " Good morning Rarity... Like what I did with our breakfast?" She said awkwardly.

The Doctor decided to attempt masking the situation less awkward. "Good morning Rarity. It's always a pleasure to see you. As you can see we have prepared-" The Doctor looks over at the flames. "We had prepared a fine breakfast for you but..." Rarity had an annoyed expression. Not wanting to derail anything further he quickly changed the subject. "Ohi, rookie! Introduce your self!"

Chrysalis finally shaped back to her sense at the name given to her. " I'm sorry, what did you just call me? I am no rookie! A rookie would chose to be here! I'm forced to be here! I hate you! " She noticed Rarity staring at her looking very confused. "What? Never seen a real Changeling before? Guessing your only used to the colored coded ones."

Rarity stared for a second longer before looking back at The Doctor. "I could swear I've seen her face before..." Chrysalis smiled at being recognized.

"Why, I'm former Queen Chrysalis!"

Rarity stared at Chrysalis with cold eyes and a dropped jaw. She stared at the bug's smirking face and completely forgot about what she had planned to say this morning. She was gonna keep standing there... Then an odd looking pony in a fancy suit rushed inside.

"Huh... are... are you the paranormal investigators?" He asked sweating.

The Doctor Answered. "Um... yes... in a sense. Anne who are you?"

"Rich. Filthy Rich. Look, I need your help! I'll pay anything!" Chrysalis's eyes lit up.

"Anything?"

"Yes, any- What is that?!" He said pointing to Chrysalis. Chrysalis was about to make a sarcastic remark, but a spastic jolt quickly rushed into her as Pinkie squeezed The Doctor around the chest (and tie) in excitement.

"Wait... DO YOU HAVE A GHOST! LIKE, A REAL GHOST!" She screamed as The Doctor pried her off of him.

"Well yes but I'm not happy-"

"WE'RE IN! WHERE IS IT?!!?"

"The Sedgwick Hotel. Please listen if we leave no-" Pinkie swiftly un-tarped Ecto-1. "Okay what's that?!"

"NO TIME TO EXPLAIN EVERYONE IN!" Before another word could be said Pinkie shoved The Doctor and Chrysalis into the car.

"Wait what are you doing. I'm so confused" Filthy cried. Rarity was going to join in, but the engine started to pure scarring both Rarity and Filthy. The car ran out of the Firehouse at lighting speed almost crashing into several pedestrians. "What Just- Ohhhh come back!" Filthy ran after them.

Rarity stared for a moment before the smell of smoke coming from the still lit table carried itself over into her muzzle. 'That escalated quickly ' Rarity thought to herself. She decided it would be best.to clean things up whilst her crazy friends where away. As she did so, she realized that she never got the chance to tell either of the the good news: that Apple Jack was returning home from the Army next month.

Twilight took a sip of her morning coffee as she looked over her beautiful kingdom. So far, today was a great morning. She could see the beautiful sun that rose with her magic. She felt it's crisp and warm rays touch her with mine huge of heat. She even smelled at the beautiful air around her keeping her cool whilst the sun hugged her. As she closed her eyes and began to daydream. Then her brother Shining Armor walked onto her balcony.

"Good morning Shining" Twilight greeted calmly. Shining said nothing and handed her a folder. "Shining? What's wrong?" She asked. He took a moment before answering.

"It's them again." He said, sounding very annoyed. Twilight took a second before realizing what he was saying.

"Doctor and Pinkie?"

"Doctor and Pinkie."

Twilight opened the folder with an agitated motion and read what it said.

'Date: REDACTED
As of REDACTED, Queen Chrysalis has been entered into the reformation program under the caretakers of Doctor Whooves and Pinkiamina Pie. However, as of current research, it is apparent that the legal documentation of said caretakers is inaccurate and requires further research...

Twilight widened her eyes. "How... how did they even get to this point? We banned them from anything like this since the 'Rainbow Dash incident'. All documents that would be needed for this program were made ill and vo- Wait what did it say about Chrysalis?!" Twilight screamed!

A lone pony walked down a lonely road. She was feeling quite gleefully up until an odd white machine almost hit her. She swore and yelled at it until it drove too far away. 'Ah well', she thought before walking in the same direction.

Ecto-1 parked outside the hotel with a screech. Three ponies exited; Pinkie ran to the trunk to retrieve 'the prototypes', The Doctor went after her to make sure nothing exploded, and Chrysalis cautiously exited with a green tinted face and woozy vision. She felt like puking. Suddenly something was strapped to her back causing her to snap back into reality.

"What internal contraption did you- Oh Celestia you put it on me!" She said, remembering this morning's 'demonstration'.

"Yes we did but don't worry, I'll be fair by having us all wear one." The Doctor said, making Pinkie smile. The happy look gave Chrysalis little glee.

Chrysalis out on a fake smile and rolled her eyes up. "OH goodie! Now we can all be ticking time bombs! What joy!" The Doctor and Pinkie decided not to give the satisfaction of a comeback and entered the building. Chrysalis, however, felt very pleased with herself. She followed the two inside: all of them wearing odd devices on their backs.

"Dinner will be ready in five minutes" the chef yelled to his co-workers. They had all been working the morning shift for the Sedgwick and were surprisingly doing a better job than usual despite the disaster on the twelfth floor.

"Hay chef," asked a waiter. " Who's the new girl? " The chef looked behind him to notice a slender pony standing in the corner of the room. He chuckled.

"Haha very funny but the jokes over."

"What joke?"

" First the green booger on the twelfth floor and now this? Everything must be a funny joke to you guys! "

"What?"

"It's just... That's just a very good costume of my late teacher. Chef Zesty Gourmand"

"Chef... Who?"

" Chef Gourmand. You know... Poisoned to death by her own-" The chef was interrupted as he noticed the slender pony vanish into thin air. He would have asked where she went... If he hadn't heard the waiter next to him scream. He was lifted into the air moments before his neck made a quiet snapping sound.

"We came, we saw..."

Episode 4: “These readings can’t be right,"

“These readings can’t be right,” Pinkie said staring at the strange black box. The beeping being emitted from said box was causing everypony to look over at the team of three.

“What’s wrong?” Asked the brown pony as he walked beside her.

“Look at these readings; it’s showing us two signals!”

Chrysalis asked “And that means?” in an angry tone to try and hide her worry. She was very scared of the freaks standing before her and she wasn't going to let that little weakness slip.

Doctor Whooves was the one to reply. “It means we have an extra unidentified ghost somewhere in the building.”

“... Ghost...?” Chrysalis said her fear now being replaced with skepticism.

Before any more could be said, an employee of the hotel walked over to the eye soar that was the three guests. As he did so, Filthy Rich ran in and quickly jumped in front of them.

“huff... huff... There here about... huff... the problem...” He said, causing the face of the employee to drain of color.

“yes, of course,” He said. “Take the stairs... It’s on the twelfth floor.”

“Thank you!” Pinkie said as she and the Doctor walked away. Chrysalis took a second but followed soon after.

The stairs were just as prestige as the rest of the hotel. It would have been nice to just spend time watching them, but when you're carrying heavy equipment on your back when you’re a quadrupedal creature. In that case, you begin to feel sore and sweaty. In the case of the three ponies walking up, they were two of them were definitely not ready for this.

“How...” Said the Doctor, “How... do you do it...?!”

“Beats me!” Pinkie said hopping up. Chrysalis was far behind feeling the most exhausted.

“Need... Water... hungry...” She said, her voice definitely scratched up from the lack of moisture.

After some whining, they made it to the twelfth floor. Just as Pinkie was about to open the door, she hesitated.

“Wait, did we ever turn our packs on, not including this morning?” She said. Chrysalis cringed as the Doctor paused to think.

“Huh... No... we didn’t... actually, we also never had a successful test of this particular model that didn’t blow up ether...” The Doctor realized. “Mabey we should turn one on, for now, lower its power and see what happens. But who...?” Chrysalis tried to back away slowly, but it was too late. Pinkie was standing behind her as Doctor Whooves came closer.

“S-STOP YOU INCELLENT FOOLS! I W-WILL HARM YOU! STOP! STOP!” Chrysalis yelled in anger and fear, remembering the small explosion from a few hours earlier. She tried to escape, but Pinkie held her down and the collar stopped her magic. Even in her struggles, the two ponies were successful at switching it on.

The hum of the pack activating made everyone pause and even back away from Chrysalis, her eyes widening with fear. Pinkie was the first to talk, and it was to just explain how to use the pack.

“Okay, the pack is s-simple. Just pull out the wand, aim, and fire- Oh and also you need to stand on your hind hooves. Yah so uh... Stand up with just your back hooves, aim the wand with the front and f-fire. Also, don’t explode, that’s a very important one. DO NOT EXPLODE!”

Chrysalis rolled her eyes. “Yes, just what I needed to hear; Do not explode! Thanks for the advice!” The Doctor than walked cautiously up to the door. As it slowly swung open, Chrysalis reluctantly stood up on her hind hooves and clumsily walked in.

“Pull out the wand pleas.” The Doctor said. Chrysalis sighed and as she was told. “okay now if we see anything strange, we blas-” The Doctor was interrupted by the sound of something coming down the hall. “It’s coming.”

“... What’s coming?” Chrysalis asked.

“The ghost.” Was her only answer, as Pinkie and Doctor Whooves backed away to hide next to the door.

“Again, with the ghosts! Don’t you two get it? There is no such thing as a ghost!” She looked annoyed now but quickly looked over to prove her point. As she did, a cart full of hotel cleaning supplies pushed forward. She turned back to the two ponies. “See? Just a cart!” As she returned to face the cart, she noticed something; it was being pushed all on its own. Chrysalis smirked. “oh no, it moved. Better go investigate!” In a mocking way, she purposely walked toward the cart on her hindlegs with minimal effort.

Pinkie pulled the device from her hair and it began to beep with fury. Her eyes widened as Doctor Whooves came around the corner to warn Chrysalis. However, he was beaten by Pinkie who climbed over him to scream; “WAIT STOP NO NO NO DON’T STOP CHRYSALIS!” It was too late. Chrysalis turned back with a somewhat smug look to her face as she stared towards Pinkie... Then she noticed a green glow beginning to shine behind her. She turned back towards the cart and her heart stopped.

It was a blobish creature that floated before Chrysalis. The only thing pony about it was its ears, snout and two from hooves. It had no need for back ones as it floated in the air. Its yellow crust eyes locked onto Chrysalis with curiosity. It was chewing up and eating a few supplies as it stared.

“WHAT IS THAT THING!!” Chrysalis screamed as she aimed the wand. The green creature retorted with howling laughter... but it was already too late. Her wand spouted out a proton stream horrifying the creature and causing it to rush her. Chrysalis is knocked back by the blow and it escapes down the hall. Pinkie and the Doctor ran towards there fallen comrade. The walls around her where burnt and destroyed by the proton stream.

“Oh my Celestia are you alright?!” Pinkie screamed.

“... It... it slimed me...” Chrysalis said with quiet astonishment.

“That's... Great! Actual physical contact!” Pinkie replied.

“Can you move?” Doctor Whooves asked as Pinkie became distracted by her devices beeping again.

“I... I feel so funky...” Chrysalis replied getting up. She whipped some slime away, but a small bit flung into her mouth, causing her to gag. “That’s it. Now, this is personal.” She said with rage in her voice and a scowl on her face.

The Doctor decided to chip in. “Hey, at least we know the packs work.” Chrysalis was not amused.

“You’ll get revenge soon enough,” Pinkie commented. “That little gremlin is being tracked right now... and... it’sssssss... THAT WAY!” Pinkie screamed pointing down the hall.

The three ponies walked down another flight of stairs back onto the first floor, where they would continue tracking. At last, they found where the ghost had flown off to. The Alhambra Ballroom. With permission, they locked themselves into the room and hid behind a curtain. It flew around a hanging chandler. It didn't notice them yet, but the Doctor couldn't help but feel watched.

“That's him.” Chrysalis said blankly, “That's the one that got me.” It continued to fly around the chandler, taunting Chrysalis with its carefree attitude. Pinkie put her device away in her hair despite its sudden need to increase the rate of beeping.

“Okay gang, we got this!” She said, putting her hooves around Chrysalis and the Doctor. “Ready?”

“Oh, I’m bucking ready!” Chrysalis said with venom in her voice. Her rage overshadowing her fear.

“I’m ready, but before we do anything, I think I should tell you something important that I forgot Pinkie; Don’t cross the streams.” Said Doctor whooves towards Pinkie but making sure Chrysalis heard too.

“I know Doc, I helped build this thing! If anything, you should tell this to Chrysie!” Pinkie replied.

“Two things. One, why can’t we cross the streams and two, never call me Chrysie again.” Chrysalis said aloud.

“We go boom!” Pinkie said with a smile. Doctor Whooves shook his head before turning Chrysalis toward his direction.

“Okay answering the first question: Imagine every molecule, cell, and atom in your body simultaneously evaporating in the blink of an eye as your consciousness fades away. That would be the best-case scenario.” He said with no hint of fear in his voice. This contrasted the fear rising back up into the mind and heart of Chrysalis. She shook it off, the need for revenge overpowering everything.

“I’m Ready.” She states again.

“Ready Zedy!” Pinkie said.

“Alright, on three... One... Two... Three!”

The three ponies ran out from there hiding place.

A pony was walking up the stairs when he felt a chill go up his spine. ‘It’s fine’ he thought. ‘They told me the ghost was harm-’ was all he could finish before a knife flew out and landed between his eyes.

A pair of fully yellowed decaying eyes came up to the body and began to drag it away... then it heard the sounds emanating down in their ballroom! Who dared make such noise in her ballroom?!

It slimed me.

(Originaly, I was going to wright what happened in the movie, but then I remembered something; this isn't a scene by scene recreation of the film! Yes, most events will happen, but there is a completely different threat this time around and-- ops, spoilers :trixieshiftright:)

Episode 5: "...And the flowers are still standing!"

"...And the flowers are still standing!" Chrysalis yelled with pride after removing a cloth from one from the dining tables. They had the Onion head in there grasp and just needed some room to lay down traps. Chrysalis was unsure of what Pinkie and Doctor Whooves were planing, but they were told they had told her to make room. After some tables were removed, Pinkie threw down a strange-looking box.

"Wait before we start, I just want to say one thing about crossing the streams" the Doc yelled towards Chrysalis.

Underground, a map with locations marked apon it laid motionless. Marked on said locations, lit candles stood with little motion. Just as a hooded figure walked into the room, the candle marking the Police Station went out without a sound.

Beep Beep Beep...

The three ponies cautiously walked towards the beeping box. In fact, they were so focused on the box that they failed to hear the odd sound emanating from the exit doors. They gave the box a small kick, causing some electricity to spurt out. Chrysalis was the first to talk.

“We... we caught it...” Her face was filled with shock and surprise.

“Well that wasn't such a chore now was it?” pinkie said gleefully. Chrysalis glared but decided not to say anything. As Pinkie was about to return the trap to her hair, the Doctor said something with a hint of confusion in his voice.

“Did... did we lock the doors?” He said as he struggled to exit the room.

"Why bother" Pinkie replied. "Ghost can go through walls."

"Don't tell me I'm locked in here or I swear," Chrysalis said, the shock of catching a ghost being worn down from the idea of being in a room with Pinkie. She despised the idea of being in here with Pinkie. After getting no reply Chrysalis spoke again. "Well? Are we stuck or what?!"

"I would say... 'or what'." The Doctor said, trying to be funny. When he turned towards his coworkers, Pinkie was giggling whilst Chrysalis scowled.

That scowl turned into wide-eyed shock as a butcher knife just barley zipped in her direction, only missing due to Pinkies intervention. Both ponies laid on the floor in shock as the Doc stood up on his nine hooves.

"Who dares...." Said a gray apparatus as it formed its shape. Soon, standing before them was the ghost of an old gray mare dressed in both a chef's outfit and a purple overcoat.

"Good lord Celestia, that's Zesty Gourmand!" Pinkie screamed hoping to her hind hooves.

"Who?" Chrysalis and the Doc asked simultaneously. Both also giving the other a confused yet spiteful look.

"Zesty Gourmand! She was caught poisoning her staff and customers when they complained about her! The only reason she was caught was that her lunch was mixed up with that of customers! After tracking down whos meal was whos it was too late. SHe poisoned herself and died."

"LIES!" The spirit yelled throwing another butcher knife in Pinkies direction. A sudden proton bolt disrupted it however causing Zesty to screech. Chrysalis, on the other hand, smirked as she jokingly blew off the top of her Proton Wand.

"Bullz eye." She said tiredly.

This joking nature didn't stick around though as a hard of versus knives spree form the sector and hurdled towards all three of the living ponies. The Doc ran around behind the cover of a broken table and ducked down. Pinkie once again pushed Chrysalis behind cover and forcefully ducked her down. Chrysalis's face scrunched up at being tucked like this.

Sadly, the cover plan didn't last long as the knives began boomerang back around towards their targets. Chrysalis shrieked with venom in her throat.

"That is IT! MY WAR WITH GHOSTS IS PERMINATE AS ALL GHOST ARE A THREAT TO MY EMPIRE!"

Grabbing her wand, she began to encase Zesty in a felid of protons. Zesty chuckled as all the knives began to target Chrysalis. But to her surprise, Pinkie began to zap away as many knives as she could. Zesty shrieked and forced her knives to target Pinkie as well, allowing the Doc to slide a Trap underneath her. He looked over to Chrysalis who nodded.

As if on queue, the Doc began to zap above him and helped entangle Zesty with his own Protons. The mechanism to trigger the Trap slid across the floor as the Doc hit it with his hooves. Pinkie chuckled before pressing it down and beginning to zap Zesty.

As the Trap opened, all of Zesty's knives began to freak out and hit random targets without warning or aiming.

"Remember, on three we let go! Once we let go do NOT cross the streams!" The Doc yelled. Chrysalis gave a nod as Pinkie prepared to let off the Trap's trigger.

"1" The Doc yelled as he loosened his grip.

"2" Pinkie screened as she prepared to jump backward.

Chrysalis groned before speaking.

"3," She said screamed.

It all happened at once; Zesty began to decent into the Trap when she through one last knife from her person, the Doc shut off his proton beam as his eyes widened, Pinkie jumped onto a pile of rubble behind her, all but one of the knives began to dissipate, and Chrysalis shut her eyes tight laying down for cover.

"Now two candles are gone!" Screeched a rough female voice from under a hooded body towards three other hooded figures. The candle above 'Sedgwick Hotel' had gone out leaving only four more candles lite. "Have you discovered who's been meddling with our affairs?"

"Yes, we have" Spoke one of the figures. They pulled out a folder filled with written documents and photos. "There named Pinkie Pie, Doctor Whooves, and..."

"And what?!" Screeched the leader.

"And... Chrysalis..."

Seconds felt like minutes as their glorious leader began to register the name. "Chrysalis... Former Queen Chrysalis correct?" after a second of thinking, the hooded figure nodded quickly with visible sweat emitting from their shadowed face. "Do you know where they are right now?" The leader asked. The figures pointed to a candle on the map. The labels below read "Red Heart Hospital".

Apple Jack walked with Rarity towards the Hospital with worried looks.

"I just can comprehend how Pinkie would get cut up so bad..." Apple Jack said with a shaky tone.

"I have my theories" Rarity replied with a thing of fury in her voice.

Apple Jack sighed. "Welp, hope it doesn't get worse than this..."
