An Extra Scary Nightmare Night

Twilight

Not Sombra’s magic! Doesn’t he know how dangerous that is? I’m having flashbacks to when the Crystal Empire reappeared. Given that Pinkie and Rainbow were traumatized, I can only assume whatever magic he used is worse than the enchantment on the door. After hearing his warning I braced myself, preparing for the worst. Then I fell. I tried standing back up but was having trouble keeping my balance, my flank was also feeling really sore. I started kicking with my back legs to get some feeling back into them.

“AHHHHHHH!!!” I heard screaming from behind me.

I turned around and saw Rainbow Dash’s body full of stab and slash wounds. I thought she was dead, but then her wounds started healing on their own.

“Twilight…..please…..let me go….or let me die….on of the two…..please….” she said.

I’ve never been so horrified yet confused at the same time. Then a mirror appeared out of nowhere, and I got a good look at myself. I was incredibly pale, had red eyes, and was bleeding from my hindlegs, but that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was the fact my hindlegs were replaced with blades, and they were covered in blood. The worst part wasn’t the blood from Dash just now, it was the old dried blood that implied this has happened before.

“NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! THIS ISN’T REAL!!! THIS IS JUST AN ILLUSION!!!” I yelled.

I bashed my head against the wall, hoping to clear my head.

“Twi….please….you’re throwing one of your fits again….no wonder Spike was taken away from you for his own safety…” Dash said weakly.

“SPIKE!?! NOT HIM!!! NO!!! PLEASE!!! NOT HIM!!!!!” I yelled.

I started crying. As I curled up into a ball on the floor, I noticed the sliced up bodies of more ponies. The smell of blood and the wet feeling on my fur was all too real, this wasn’t a hallucination.

Rarity

Oh how dreadful!!! Not the magic of that brute Sombra! I remember what Twilight said about the door to the Crystal Heart, I do not wish to experience any of that! I heard him warn us and closed my eyes as the dark magic spread everywhere. I felt a chill go down my back, then an unpleasant feeling in my eye. When I opened my eyes I saw I was back in my boutique, I went to the mirror to check my eye and nearly fainted. It was gone! Replaced by an empty socket with a faint glow. That wasn’t even the worst part, the worst part was the fact my entire body was full of various scars and injuries. Some old, some more recent. One was currently bleeding, but for some odd reason I couldn’t feel it. Then my body started moving against my will, I approached my sewing materials and lifted up the sharp needles. I tried to stop myself from what was about to happen next, but I couldn’t even make myself scream. The needles sunk deep into my body, to the point they weren’t even visible anymore because they were completely embedded into my body. I wanted to scream, I wanted to faint, to do anything, but all I could was watch as I injured myself against my will. Despite not feeling the pain, I was begging for this to end.

Fluttershy

Oh dear, this wasn’t good. I understand wanting to be scary and be a part of Nightmare Night, but there is a limit that shouldn’t be crossed. I ducked and covered after hearing his warning. (Insert getting up confused and wondering what’s going on, I’m sorry but there’s only so many ways I can write that. I’ll just write intro skip for the rest of the segments). My shed? Ok. I felt compelled to go in for some reason, the same joy I felt when I do something with my animal friends. I walked in and what I saw horrified me. Pony skeletons lined the walls, there wasn’t a single space that wasn’t covered in blood. It was then I saw Rainbow in the middle tied to a chair, for some reason I didn’t go set her free. I was compelled to reach for a nearby chainsaw and approached Rainbow with a smile on my face. My horrified feeling slowly being replaced with a wicked sense of joy.

“What did I tell you about coming in my shed?” I asked.

When I got to work, I started from the bottom up. I made sure she was screaming the whole time, smiling sadistically as blood flew everywhere. Also my skeleton decorations started singing for some reason but I didn’t stop. I just kept sawing until she was completely sliced in half.

Applejack

What the hay was he thinkin’? What in tarnation made ‘im think this was a good idea!?!! When his magic went wild, ah was ready for anythin’. (Intro skip). Sweet Apple Acres had much more machinery, reminding me of Flim and Flam. But that made no sense since ah would never work with ‘em. I heard knocking at mah door.

“Come in,” ah said.

In walked Granny, Big Mac, and Apple Bloom. They all looked even more exhausted than when ah tried clearing Sweet Apple Acres all on mah own, and for some reason they had collars around their necks?

“Please, we need a break! None of us can go on anymore!” Apple Bloom begged.

The words that came out mah mouth weren’t mine.

“So yall want a break that badly, huh? Kay then, I’ll give yall a break,” ah said before picking up mah shovel and approaching them.

I did what mah head told me to and started to beat them senseless. I made sure to keep going til I heard bones break.

“There, now yall won’t have to work for quite a while. Enjoy your time off,” ah said.

Spike

Not this again, why did he have to use magic from one of the big villains of Equestria? There’s a difference between Nightmare Night scares, and Sombra’s fear magic. (Intro skip). I woke up surrounded by all kinds of treasures, Rarity was trapped in a cage, the ponies of Ponyville were severely injured. I tried talking, but only growls came out. The ponies were lined up and were dropping off items, adding to the pile. One pony, Mr. Cake, begged me to let him go without giving me something. They were running low on supplies and needed to care for the kids. For some reason this made me angry, then without even thinking I lunged forward and ate him.

Luna

What a shame, the fact he was as proficient as he was using such magic showed he had great promise. As soon as this is over, we will see if he has interest in becoming my student. We prepared for the worst, knowing what Sombra’s magic was capable of. Before our vision even cleared, we instantly started feeling a sense of dread. When we could see, we saw the Elements looking at us in horror.

“Princess Luna? How could you!?!” Twilight yelled.

We felt ourselves smile against our will.

“We are not Princess Luna, we are Nightmare Moon once again!” We were talking, but the words coming out weren’t ours.

It was just then we tasted something in our mouth, something…metallic. Our eyes looked down and were met with a horrific sight. Our beloved sister was brutally mauled. She wasn’t dead, we could still see her breathing, but her condition could’ve fooled a passerby. She had several wounds clearly inflicted by magic, and her legs had been broken by hoof, but that wasn’t the worst part. The worst were the chunks of flesh that had been ripped off by a predator’s sharp teeth.

“Wh-why did you do that to your sister?” Fluttershy asked.

“Ever since discovering the tales ponies made of us for Nightmare Night, we figured we’d indulge and discover if we enjoyed the taste of flesh. We believe thou hast the answer, does thou wish to become my meal? If not, then flee. Flee and never return,” we said, still with no control over our body. Even knowing Sombra’s magic, this felt all too real.

Discord

Well…I’ll admit I felt that, but nothing to make a fuss about. I was about to make a witty retort but then I felt a familiar presence. Right there, just behind that building. I moved to get a closer look, then she emerged.

“No. You-you’re not supposed to be here…” I said.

I snapped repeatedly, but nothing happened.

“Discord. Smeetums. Darling,” she grew bigger and more intimidating with each word, “You should know just how difficult it is to get rid of me.”

Oh author, why have you forsaken me?

“Oh Discord, the author can’t save you. The power of my malice is enough to keep them at bay,” Cosmos said.

It’s true, a few bad things happened to me today, guess I know who to blame.

“No! No! No!” I yelled.

“Don’t worry darling, I see what mistakes I made. I need to take better care of you as my pet,” she said before turning me into a cat.

I tried running away but she caught me and began petting me while smiling evilly.

“Shhhhh…you're mine now. Prepare to see me unleash more malice than I ever have before! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Cosmos laughed.

Starlight

Well that escalated quickly, my first Nightmare Night as a redeemed pony and it all goes downhill. After getting hit by a wave of dark magic my felt fuzzy, my vision went blurry, then darkness. I woke up in an empty void surrounded by orbs, each representing a different timeline. I chuckled evilly.

“Soon. One timeline down, many more to go.”

Trixie

Trixie understands why that pony did what he did. Using dark magic to enhance your performance, she just hopes this ends better than it did with her. When Trixie returned to her senses, she looked at her surroundings. Statues had been erected in Trixie’s image, there were some of Twilight as well showing her various positions of defeat. Trixie’s head was suddenly filled with memories, I saw through her trick with the fake amulet and defeated her. She proceeded to take over a majority of Equestria, and was currently at war with the princesses. Trixe was not a benevolent ruler, she was an evil dictator, who had no hesitation to imprison ponies or execute them.
