Synthetic nightmare

Main 6, Derpy, Pipsqueak's parents and guards were walking through the forest. They looked under every rock (literally), searched every tree, but they didn't find any tracks of foals. Derpy and Pipsqueak's parents began worrying and silently sobbing.

"What if we don't find them?" asked Derpy.

"Don't say that. They are okay.I hope," said Pipaqueak's mom. Suddenly they heard:

"Hey, everypony! Come here!" The group quickly followed the source of the voice and went to the glade where they saw...chimera's dead body. Everyone gasped and tried to not puke because of the scene.

"Oh, sweet Celestia, who could do such thing?" asked Fluttershy. Twilight approached the corpse and began inspecting it but she tried to not puke. She saw a few small deep holes in the body from which the blood was running. She suddenly recognized who did that. Revenant. She got up and said:

"We have a problem." Everyone looked at her with a questionable look.

"What is the problem?"

"Revenant." Those words made Main 6's eyes to widen, while Derpy and Pipsqueak's parents asked:

"Who?"

"Him." Pinkie showed to them a photo and they quickly got scared by the image of the simulacrum.

"You want to say that this thing captured our foals!?" shouted Derpy.

"Calm down, darling. We hadn't seen any dead bodies so it means that they are alive," said Rarity. Suddenly one guard shouted:

"I found tracks." Everyone looked down and saw tracks that were leading to the forest.

Few hours ago

Revenant was walking through the forest holding two foals in his arms. After a few minutes of hiking, he saw a cave. But something was strange about this cave. Revenant focused his view on this cave and saw that there was light. Revenant crouched and peeked out from the corner. Simulacrum saw...gold. Many golden coins, gems, diamonds, etc. He made a gesture to foals 'Silence' and entered the cave. It was bigger than outside. Then he saw a dead body of a dragon and a golden cage. Revenant put his hostages into it and began inspecting the body. After a few seconds, Revenant found out that the dragon died because of age. Revenant began looking around.

"Seems like this meatbag liked collecting gold and treasures. Like Loba," commented simulacrum.

"Please, let us go." Revenant turned to foals. He approached the cage and said:

"Say one more word and I will-" He didn't end his sentence because he heard steps. He quickly disappeared while someone entered the cave. It was a group of strange creatures who were looking like bug-ponies. Changelings. They were looking around and talking with each other.

"Wow, that's so much gold there!"

"But where is a dragon?"

"Pff, no worries, he is dead."

"Hey, guys look!" Everyone looked at the direction to which changeling was pointing. They saw foals who were sitting in the cage. Changelings approached them and one of them asked:

"What the hell? Hey, what the hay are you doing here?"

"Help, please! Something caught us in the forest and imprisoned us here!" shouted Dinky. Then they noticed that Pipsqueak was looking at something behind. Changelings turned around and their eyes widened when they saw that one of them was pounced by a metal arm. After that, the corpse fell to the ground and revealed simulacrum.

"Begging for mercy won't help you, but carry on. I like it," said Revenant approaching the group of 4 changelings. Two of them charged at simulacrum but were met by hand-knives. The third one approached him behind, but Revenant turned around and grabbed him by his neck. Revenant squeezed it and the crack was heard across the cave. The fourth one threw his weapon and ran to the exit with a shout:

"Screw this! I am out!" But Revenant quickly caught him by his tail and grabbed by both shoulders.

"Don't bother me with running. It won't help you." With those words, he ripped him in two halves. Disgusting sound of ripping flesh spread all over the cave. Foals closed their eyes to not see such a horrible scene. They began crying and sobbing, while Revenant threw halves to the ground and sat on the pile of gold.

"Why did you do that?" asked Dinky. Simulacrum looked at her and said:

"To be honest, I just like killing. <Chuckle>."

Present time

The group was walking through the forest and following the trail. Soon tracks led them to the cave.

"He is here," said Applejack. Guards prepared their weapons and everyone entered the cave. They saw big piles of gold, diamonds and other treasures. Suddenly Rarity yelped. She pointed to something and everyone saw the most disgusting scene they had ever seen. A changeling who was ripped in two halves. Some guards, Rarity, Derpy and Pipsqueak's parents ran out from the cave and threw up in the bushes, while others continued their way. Soon they saw a golden cage with foals inside. Derpy, who came back, gasped and quickly approached them with words:

"Thank Celestia, you are alive." She opened the cage and foals quickly hugged her.

"Mom! I want to go home!" claimed Dinky.

"Yeah, you should have stayed home today." Everybody turned around and saw Revenant who was slowly getting up on the big pile of gold. Pipsqueak's parents and Derpy's eyes widened while Main 6 and guards prepared for the fight.

"Come to catch me, meatbags?"

"Yes."

"You are welcome to try." Revenant turned into shadow mode and charged at ponies. While he was charging, he threw the sphere into unicorns and alicorn. Their magic was blocked and nothing could stop him. Almost. BOOM Revenant was sent flying at the end of the cave because something hit him in his side. He got up and saw that Pinkie was having her party cannon.

"I have a present for you, Mr. MeanyPants!" With this cry, she began firing at Revenant cupcakes, cakes, other stuff and he could swear that he saw a little alligator that flew near him. He was fed up with it and threw the diamond into the nozzle. The cannon began shaking and after few seconds blew up sending pink pony flying into the pile of golden coins. Revenant charged at guards, but suddenly he bumped into something. He took a look at this and noticed that it was a yellow barrier. Simulacrum wanted to go right but...he was trapped. In a big yellow ball. Guards slowly approached them with spears.

"What the? How? I silenced your magic."

"Well." Revenant turned his head and saw Fluttershy whose arm was glowing with yellow magic. "Twilight taught me this. She knew that you don't know that earth ponies and pegasus can use the magic too and Twilight showed me this trick." Revenant sat on the floor and said:

"Trapped by pathetic meatbag. What a shame."

"Now, we will bring you to Castle of Friendship where we will decide what we will do with you," claimed Twilight. She lifted the ball with magic and everyone headed to Ponyville.
