A power unique to the Tribe, the Indigo can emulate the other energies of the emotional spectrum when they are in close proximity to them and use those energies for their own use. This ability has been shown to allow the wielder to copy the power of other power rings with the exception of Black or White. By the manipulation of anti gravitons and directed molecular movement, Indigo Lanterns can fly at incredible speeds. In atmosphere, an indigo tribal has been known to fly as fast as Mach 10 in atmosphere by creating an aerodynamic envelope around his body. Towing others, usually within a bubble, his/her speed is limited to the twice the speed of sound or 1440 MPH. In space, an indigo tribal speed can be significantly greater and has been known to approach 80% of lightspeed in normal space. Flight is possible at velocities exceeding light speed. In atmospheres, air friction is not a hindrance, since heat is either absorbed or reflected by the ring's field. The power ring can translate virtually any language in the universe, facilitating diplomatic encounters rather than violent confrontations, however the indigo speak in a language not recognized by the lantern rings making them an enigma. While the indigo rings prevent the lights that they channel from influencing them (e.g. to prevent the red light from consuming them once it's no longer in use) is a strength, it is also a weakness as it subverts their wills to the influence of the Indigo light. An Indigo Lantern's weakness is willpower. Normally, Indigo Lanterns either cannot or do not use their rings to fabricate emotional constructs. But while wearing one during the War of The Green Lanterns, Jon Stewart used his to produce constructs reminiscent to his days when he was a U.S Marine. Initially he found they were significantly inferior to those produced by other rings but overcame this through the Violet Light's emotional spectrum mimicry.
Fluttershy activated her bracelet and an indigo bodysuit formed around her. However, she was unable to create constructs. "Damn it!", she complained. It didn't help that multiple zombified ponies were swarming towards her cottage. Fortunately, her flight speed was massively enhanced, so she zoomed out of the cottage in record time. By the time Nekron made it to the cottage, Fluttershy was long gone.
"What in the Crimson King's hell?", Nekron exclaimed as he saw a hole in the side of the cottage. "Find that Lantern!" The Black Lanterns flew in the direction Fluttershy went. After a while, they found Fluttershy, who used her super-speed to kill the zombies. She then rammed into Nekron, whose scythe flew out of his hand and decapitated a zombified pony.
"You're a very bad... whatever you are!", Fluttershy said.
"No... I'm Death itself!", Nekron replied as he stood up and grabbed his scythe. "And you... are my next victim!" He leaped upwards and honed in on his target. He slashed his scythe at Fluttershy, who easily dodged the attack. In desperation, Fluttershy attempted to create a construct, but failed once again. "You're an Indigo Lantern. Normally, Indigo Lanterns either cannot or do not use their rings to fabricate emotional constructs." However, Fluttershy's determination wasn't dwindling. Eventually, she managed to create something... monstrous. A spider/praying mantis Pennywise the Dancing Clown loomed over Nekron.
"I know what you are! A madman", the construct roared.
"Impossible!", Nekron said. Unbeknownst to Nekron, Twilight and Applejack were well hidden and helped Fluttershy create constructs.
"It is a walking embodiment of fear and sadism, and the embodiment of pure evil", Fluttershy said as her eyes took on an indigo shade. "Witness oblivion." The monster roared at Nekron as the Black Lantern threw his scythe into the construct's chest... which did absolutely nothing at all. "You're not a Green Lantern, so therefore, you can't attack my constructs." The construct wrapped one of its arms around Nekron and extended a spike. However, a Black Lantern threw a rock at the construct, causing it to drop Nekron. The zombified pony groaned as it limped towards the construct. Fluttershy blasted the zombified pony. However, Nekron had escaped. The construct faded. "Damn it." Suddenly, Nekron appeared behind her and stabbed her in the back with his scythe... but the attack was futile. "Try all you want. I'm not affected by such puny attacks." Fluttershy then constructed Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees and the two constructs starting fighting each other. "Whoops." The constructs destroyed each other. "Okay... if they're not gonna be useful... then maybe he will. Prepare to meet your doom." She constructed Doomguy, the bane of Hell itself. Twilight and Applejack emerged from their hiding spots and joined their fellow Lantern. Twilight and Applejack also constructed Doomguys. The three constructs aimed their BFG 9000s at the Lord of the Unliving.
"Oh, shit", Nekron said. The three constructs fired, and a massive explosion followed, nearly obliterating everycreature in the surrounding area. Twilight, Applejack, and Fluttershy were sent flying backwards as the explosion also destroyed the constructs. When the smoke cleared, nothing remained... which was odd.
"Where'd he go? Shouldn't there be a corpse or something?", Fluttershy asked.
"The Blackest Night falls from the skies, the darkness grows as all light dies. We crave your hearts and your demise, by my black hand, the dead shall rise!", Nekron screamed as he stood behind the ponies. He slashed his scythe, creating a portal, and escaped.
"Thanks, guys", Fluttershy said. "Nekron is... pretty tough to fight if you're an Indigo Lantern without friends."
"We have to find Pinkie Pie. She'll be Nekron's next target", Twilight said.
"Ya think she's still at Sugarcube Corner?", Applejack asked.
"Let's hope so", Twilight answered. Twilight and Applejack took to the air, but Fluttershy zipped past them. "WHOA!"
"An Indigo Lantern has incredible speed", Fluttershy said. "At least now I can match Rainbow Dash in speed."

Horror references in this chapter:
"What in the Crimson King's hell?", Nekron exclaimed as he saw a hole in the side of the cottage.
The Crimson King is the main antagonist of Stephen King's multiverse. He is a transdimensional demonic were-spider who wishes to remake the multiverse in his own image so he can rule it all in chaos.
A spider/praying mantis Pennywise the Dancing Clown loomed over Nekron.
This is It's final form in the film It: Chapter Two. She took this form to fight the Losers Club. It (most commonly referred to as Pennywise) is the secondary antagonist of Stephen King's multiverse.
Additionally, Fluttershy constructing this monster is a reference to the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic IDW comic book The Return Of Queen Chrysalis.
Fluttershy then constructed Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees and the two constructs starting fighting each other.
In Freddy Vs. Jason, the two horror icons duke it out.
