Equestria Girls: The Scarecrow's Curse
Chapter 2: The Story of Pumpkinia
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter being saved by Sci-Twi, Big Mac, Wallflower and the others, Rarity and Scootaloo are still traumatized from what they saw what happened to Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash and Sweetie Belle.
"All right, tell me what happened and what made you this way." Sunset requested as Rarity and Scootaloo both sigh and tell their story.
"Okay. It all started when I was there smashing pumpkins with my friends, especially Applejack. We searched for more pumpkins when I found a mysterious path through the forest that took us to that haunted garden where that scarecrow prowled and hunted us down!" Scootaloo explained as Sunset suddenly had a flashback vision.
She sees a wisp of Equestrian Magic that has flown to a normal plantation garden into a haunted Halloween field with mysterious scarecrows being magically teleporting to the location. Sunset immediately recognizes the scarecrows as she snaps back into reality.
"I recognize those creatures! They're from Pumpkinia!" Sunset exclaimed.
"What's Pumpkinia?" Rarity asked.
"Pumpkinia is a planet that lives way outside our solar system. It's occupied by many monsters and creatures from nightmares and that must be where it took Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash and your sister!" Sci-Twi explained with Rarity becoming even more scared.
"Oh, my god! Poor Sweetie Belle. I do hope she can handle the nightmares. Who knows what's going on there?" Rarity exclaimed, when the spirits of Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash and Sweetie Belle suddenly appear in front of them.
"Rarity! Thank goodness you're safe." Applejack's spirit said in relief.
"Sweetie Belle! What happened to you? Where are you?!" Rarity asked, worried about the spirit of her sister.
"Rarity! It sure is scary there. I do hope you can all save us! It also appears that our souls are all imprisoned in the void within those pumpkin seeds. The worst thing is we're all covered in pumpkin juice now!!" Sweetie Belle said, scared.
"I do hope we can hang in there until you release us. You better think of something fast!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as her spirit starts glitching out.
"You can do it! Ah believe in you!" Apple Bloom exclaimed as her spirit glitches out along with everyone else.
"Oh, my. Stay safe, sis." Rarity said, scared for her sister's well-being as Fluttershy comforts the sad fashionista.
"It's okay, Rarity. We'll figure this out. You just need to have faith in your sister and the others." she said, with Rarity starting to feel a little better.
"Thanks, Flutters. We just need to figure out how to save them from Pumpkinia. What do you think we should do to fight back, Twi?" Rarity asked before Wallflower states something that might help.
"I have an idea. As an experienced gardener, I personally know the scarecrow's weakness." Wallflower exclaimed with Rarity and the others closing in to hear her out.
"Go on." Big Mac requested as Wallflower Blush continues.
Meanwhile on Pumpkinia, there are dark spirits roaming around the dark forest while the souls of Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash and Sweetie Belle are still trapped and floating helplessly inside those pumpkin seeds and the void within.
"Ew! My dress. I hate this so much. I'm scared!" Sweetie Belle complained, clearly despising the pumpkin juice spilling all over her outfit. Luckily, she has Apple Bloom by her side to cheer her up. So was Rainbow and Applejack. They all floated over to the scared little girl.
"It's okay, sugarcube. Ah know your sister and the others will rescue us and destroy Pumpkinia while they're at it. Just hang in there and we'll just have to float around and wait, sugarcube." reassured Applejack, starting to shed tears herself along with her sister and Rainbow Dash.
Back in Sci-Twi's house, Wallflower explained that the Scarecrow's weakness is light and everyone started making weapons so they can fight back, knowing that they can use its weakness to their advantage. Just minutes later, they're set to fight against the scarecrow and rescue their friends from their nightmare. They arm themselves with slingshots along with ammo in form of magic fireballs (plus gloves that are magically fire-proof). They also have swords, whips, magic-blasting guns and anything you can think of.
"Let's go slay that monster!" Wallflower exclaimed.
"We'll get dirty trying, but it's the risk we'll be willing to take!" Rarity said.
"Don't forget that Pumpkinia has to be destroyed after we save our friends!" Scootaloo and Pinkie Pie shouted in unison.
"Yep!" Big Mac said.
"Alright, everyone. Let's move out!" Sci-Twi and Sunset commanded as they all leave the building and are ready to fight against their Halloween enemy.
