A dark night in Equestria. Twilights friends and the Princesses have disappeared. Rumors tread back to the everfree forest where ponies have apparently heard screams and laughter coming from the forest and the ponies haven’t dared to go check so they all depend upon Twilight to solve the mystery.
Twilight enters into the Everfree as the atmosphere and the moonlight changes. The light becomes darker as Twilight walks deeper in the forest.
Shadows become visible as bushes shake and twigs crack and I creature emerges from the shadows into Twilights path.
“Don’t you ponies know not to enter my forest? What is your name little one?” The creature says.
“Why should I tell you my name? Who and what are you?” Twilight asks looking nervous.
“I am the one from your nightmares. I am Hypno. Now you’ll forget who I am and you’ll follow me into my cave.” Hypno says as he begins to swing his pendulum.
“What? What are you doing?” Twilight asks as her eyes follow the pendulum.
“Come little pony, come with me
Safe and happy you will be
Away from home, now let us run
With Hypno, you'll have lots of fun
Oh, little pony, please don't cry
Hypno wouldn't hurt a fly
Be free to frolic, be free to play
Come with me to my cave to stay
Oh, little pony, please don't squirm
These ropes I know will hold you firm
Now, look to me the pendant calls
Back and forth your eye lids fall
Oh, little pony, you cannot leave
For you, your families will grieve
Minds unraveling at the seams, allowing me to haunt their dreams
Do not wail and do not weep, it's time for you to go to sleep
Little pony, you were not clever
Now you'll stay with me forever.” Hypno sings as Twilight slowly stumbles before collapsing.
“Hehehe. Ponies are too soft. This will teach them to stay away. After all I’m only solving their problems with violence. They shouldn’t have driven her to do it. I hate the ponies. I’ll make sure they learn how I should be feared.” Hypno says as he starts to drag Twilight throughout the forest.
Hypno starts to hum a song but it’s unintelligible.
Twilight starts to wake from the hypnosis but can’t find the energy to speak or do anything. She feels that her body has been paralyzed.
“What’s the matter little princess? Can’t think of how to escape? I’ll make sure the ropes are tied tightly to where you cannot escape. You ponies think you are so great. Do you have any idea on what’s caused that? Of course you don’t because you ponies only think of each other but not me or her. The one you should not have bullied. My friend. You all drove her to suicide. I hope your happy with the fate you chose.” Hypno says as he continues to drag Twilight.
Twilight unable to talk or do anything sits there and reflects on what hypno said.
“Driven to suicide” echos throughout Twilights mind as she realizes who he talks about. A little girl who committed suicide because of how much she was bullied.
“You all laughed and made fun even after she jumped. I thought she would come back. I sat there for hours waiting. Laughter was the only thing that I could hear. You ponies made me develop an intense hatred towards you ALL! I promised myself that I would make you all suffer for it.” Hypno says as he walks into his cave with Twilight being dragged behind him.
Hypno walks deeper and deeper into the cave and darkness envelops over them before entering a dimly lit room with a bigger hole in the wall with a red substance on the red holes
Hypno leaves the area of the cave after setting Twilight down and something catches her eye. Applejack laying in the corner unconscious. Twilight starts to wriggle out of the rope and eventually gets out of the rope and sneaks over to Applejack and she tries to wake her up.
“Applejack wake up! Please! You have to wake up! Something is going to happen! Please wake up!” Twilight whispers.
“Twilight?” A voice speaks from the hole Hypno went through.
“Princess Celestia? Is that you?” Twilight whisper while walking closer to the hole.
“Why wouldn’t Twilight? You’re my favorite student. The best one I’ve ever had” the voice says in Princess Celestia’s voice. As the body of Princess Celestia walks out of the hole something seems off about her.
“Twilight I’ve missed you. I couldn’t find my way out.” The voice says again while getting closer to Twilight.
“Princess? You don’t look to good.” Twilight says while taking steps backwards.
“What do you mean?” The voice says in Celestia’s voice as it slowly deteriorates into Hypno’s voice.
“Hahahaha. It’s cute how you fell for this Twilight. Now fall back to sleep.” Hypno says while a pendulum swings from the hole.
Twilight resists the hypnosis.
“You may have gotten me once but you won’t get me again!” Twilight shouts.
The sound of tearing can be heard from the hole as red tendril like things shoot out from the hole and attach to the ground, wall, and ceiling as Hypno slowly reveals from the darkness except he’s different. He looks more mutilated. A pile of guts and blood appears from the darkness. The only thing that shows resemblance to hypno is his head and his arm and hand that swings the pendulum.
“What the fuck?!” Twilight shouts while looking extremely scared.
A tendril goes into the neck of hypno’s head a lifts it.
“ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE PENDULUM AND GIVE UP! WHY COULDN’T YOU DO ONE SIMPLE TASK! DIE!” Hypno screams out as his voice becomes more and more distorted.
“I’m not going to lose hope! I’LL ESCAPE YOU!” Twilight shouts.
“YOU CAN’T ESCAPE ME!” Hypno screams as his body starts to shake.
“I can! I will!” Twilight shouts as she begins the back away.
“FOLLOW THE PENDULUM! LET YOUR EYELIDS FALL! YOU THOUGHT I WAS GONE BUT I CAME BACK! I WON’T DIE!” Hypno screams in agony as he launches a tendril at Twilight and she turns to see it launch towards her and it grabs her hoof and Hypno disappears and the tendril pulls her into the darkness and she screams out before it goes…
