A new world

It was a dark and rainy night. A dark corridor appeared in the everfree forest and a burst of dark ember flames shot from the corridor. It shot forth a creature of the night she was in the form of the ponies of this world. She was flapping her wings as fast as she could to get to the corridor, she tried to run but couldn't because her body was heavily damaged. The corridor fading before her.

"Nonononono please" she fell to the ground yelling in pain. The corridor disappearing in front of her eyes. Slammed her arm down causing it to break. She yelled even more in pain. "You can't banish me" she looked up to where the portal was. "I MADE YOU!!!" She yelled out before collapsing to the ground. "you...traitors you can't banish me," tears were streaming down her face, but it wasn't clear if that was the rain.

She slowly got up on her hooves but couldn't stand due to broken her leg was. She gave up on walking out of this forest, she leaned against a tree. She examined her body, but couldn't see due to the blood streaming down her face. She felt the big wound across her stomach that she sustained during her battle. As she remembering that battle she felt a massive headache she tried grab her head but felt pain through out her entire left arm. She looked at it and she had a third degree burn on her entire arm from her hand to her shoulder. Now that she noticed her entire left arm started searing with pain. She was yelling with how much it hurt practicality screaming at the top of her lungs which she couldn't do for very long due to one of her rib cage being broken. That got the attention of a certain yellow and blue Pegasus.

Despite her bleeding out, her magic was keeping her alive ' huh at least that works' she thought. She was struggling to keep her eyes open. As she leaned against the tree she two figures approaching, she couldn't make the out them due to her consciousness, but from what she could tell one was blue with a rainbow mane, and the other was yellow with a pink mane.

"Hey are you okay?" the yellow Pegasus rushed up to her. Gasping at her injuries she had on her body. She ran up to her to check her pulse sighing a sigh of relief. "Rainbow we need to get her to the hospital"

"Right," the other Pegasus replied. She went to pick her up but she yelled out in pain due to her touching stab wound on her upper back behind her wing. The blue Pegasus notice this and immediately put her down. "Oh my celestia I'm so sorry," she went pick her up again this time she was holding her by her lower back.

They ascended up into the air as fast as the could. She began to lose consciousness due to the pain she tried to see one last time who was carrying her, but all she could make out was a blue pony with rainbow mane. "Don't worry we'll get you somewhere safe," the blue Pegasus said looking down at her then looking back up to the direction they were going. She couldn't keep her open any more. She let the Claws of slumber take her even it was death she didn't care any more. Not that it mattered any more.

~=====================~
Fluttershy was out look for her pet bunny Angel. He had ran out of the cottage after sensing something in the everfree forest. Rainbow Dash was the to bring back Fluttershy's book, which she had borrowed from her shy friend. Fluttershy asked her to come along with her to find her pet bunny.

"Yo Angel you out there come out form what ever hiding spot. This isn't time for hide and seek," Rainbow yelled. They had followed the trail of bunny fur that had lead them to the everfree.

"I hope he's alright, he's never been one to go to the everfree this late" Fluttershy said worried for Angel.

"Don't worry Fluttershy he's going to be alri-" just then they heard a scream coming from within the forest.

They looked at each then ran towards the source of the screams. When they reached they both gasped at what they saw a naked bat pony mare laying against a trees covered in wounds. She had multiple cut, bruises and what looked stab wounds across her body, one at her shoulder one big one across her stomach a burn wound on her arm, and what looked like a broken arm blood dripping down her face. Fluttershy dropped the umbrella She was carrying and rush over to the injured mare to check her pulse. Rainbow was looking around trying to find whoever this is.

"Come on out you cowards" she searched around but found nothing but trees. It was clear whoever did this was now long gone.

"Rainbow we need to get her to the hospital" Fluttershy said trying to see if the filly was responsive. At least she had her eyes open one of them at least, her eye was bruised while the other was open. But Fluttershy could tell she wasn't going to be awake for much longer.

"Right" Rainbow went in to pick her up but she yelled out. Confused she looked at where she was touching and saw that there was a wound that came from her chest all the way to her back that came straight through. Worried she set her back down saying " oh my celestia I'm so sorry," she went to pick her up this time holding her by her lower back.

They both flew into the air heading to ponyville General. Rainbow looked down at her and saw that she was looking at her. "Don't worry we'll get you somewhere safe,". The mare in her arms closed her eyes, panicking Rainbow flew as fast she could.

In the distance three shadowy creatures stood on the tree top watching their master being taken away. "So we're just gonna let them take her?" One of them said.

"What do you want us to do we can't exactly show ourselves to them. The would think we were the ones who attacked her"

"Still though it's a bit comforting knowing she's safe"

"What if they contact the princess?"

"They won't know as along she looks like a regular bat pony" one of them got up.

"Where are you going vanitas?"

"To speak to a certain party pony" Vanitas said before disappearing.

"He's always such a party poper" one shadow pony said in a cheery voice.

"Yeah, but he's got a point that pony somehow always knows when somepony new shows up in town,"

"But come on Apophis I bet she makes the best cakes In all of equestria,"

"I bet she doesn't. If you want cake so bad why don't you just go steal some bits and buy yourself cake, mania" Apophis said jumping down from the tree and landing in a puddle of water.

"Oh come on not you too, you three always manage to suck the fun out of everything,"

"Just be thankful she's not here to hear you say that,"

Mania pouted crossing her arms and looking sideways.

~============~

Reaching the hospital they went to the emergency lot of the hospital. "We need help!!" Rainbow yelled. Then after doctors and nurses came rushing in with a gurney. Settling the unknown mare on the gurney doctors immediately went to check her pulse, check her eyes and her everything.

"Do you know what happened to her" one doctor asked

"We don't know we found her in the everfree like that an-" she explained but was cut off by one of the nurses.

"The everfree?!?!?" One of the nurses exclaimed. "Doctor we need to get to ER now,"

"Right," she said as she rushed her to the ER.

"Is she going to be alright?" Fluttershy asked. See the the mare on the gurney disappeared behind doors

"She's going to be fine dear we got this covered. How about you and your friend tell me everything you saw okay"

"Okay," so they told the nurse about how they heard the mare screaming and went to check it out. When the got there they saw her laying against a tree bloodied and bruised.

"And that's it? You didn't see anypony or anything leaving her alone?" The nurse asked concerned that the poor mare was there all alone with no evidence of anypony attacking her.

"No we didn't" Rainbow said sitting down over stressed she'd been.

"You girls go home, if anything happens we notify you if we can. And you miss dash I suggest you change,"

Rainbow looked down at her clothes. She saw her blood she griped it angry at how pony would leave an injured mare In a place like that. She nodded but before she and Fluttershy left she said "Hey would be alright if we came back later y'know to check up on her,"

"Sure that's fine" the nurse waved the two mares goodbye before going to check on her new patient.

~=============~

Later in Pinkie Pie's room

Pinkie Pie awoke to her Pinkie senses tingling notifying her that a potential new friend had just made it into town, but she felt this friend was hurt. So she jumped up of the bed. She then saw a shadow shape pony in her chair petting gummy.

"Well hello miss Pie, nice to meet you my name is Vanitas and no I'm not the potential new friend your...Pinkie sense was it, oh yes that just sensed" Vanitas said.

As reading her thoughts she asked "how did you know about my Pinkie sense?".

"I know all sorts of things" as if on que Pinkie opened her mouth but beat her to it. "And no I don't know any baking recipes to help I only know what my master knows. Though she does know of one recipe a pie that melts in your mouth,"

Pinkie Pie's eyes lit up like fire works at the possibility of a new baking friend. But the "wait a minute your master?"

"Yes the pony you just sensed she was just brought in to the hospital by two of your friends Fluttershy and Rainbow dash,"

"What happened to her? Is she alright?" Worried about her new friend being hurt.

"She's fine for now, but I'm going to need you to stay away from her,"

"What why," she couldn't for the life of her figure out why this shadow pony didn't want her near her new best friend.

"It precisely your the reason why I can't have you near her right now. Look miss Pie I'm sure you're a wonderful pony to be around and all but you can't just go up to her and expect to be friends right away she needs time to get used to her new surroundings. Otherwise if you go do your stuff for her she'll be overwhelmed,"

"So can't go visit her" she asked sounding sad.

"You can but just don't do any of your parties or surprises," Vanitas said as opened a portal. "Oh and before I go try to ease her into the friendship thing she's been betrayed by a friend and that's how she ended up in the situation that she's in so just be careful with that please," she said as she stepped through the portal.

Pinkie Pie stood there unsure on how to take this. She knows she has to help her new friend but Vanitas said she's been hurt by betrayal of friendship. So how should she go about this.
