My Little V/H/S

As the footage screen turns on, a camera pony shows a film crew led by a Pegasus mare journalist. As she steps forward at the camera, the mare makes her introduction as she appears to be seen in a beige-tan skin color with a green mane tied up into a bun while bearing the cutie mark of a pink diary.

"Greetings every pony. My name is Bridget Novelty. I happened to be a journalist who has written stories of paranormal activity and possession in Dodge Junction, Manehattan, and Canterlot. Graduated from the Vanhoover University with a Master's Degree in Applied Science in History and Literature, I have documented 6 stories so far."

When the camera pony turns the footage towards the rest of the film crew, Bridget introduces the members of her film crew.

"The one holding the camera is the earth colt Dillard Night. For my film crew members, we have Damon Sketcher that happens to be an interviewer working alongside me most of the time and Hilda Notes, the producer and editor for my written stories."

Damon Light Press is an earth colt with a brown skin color and black mane bearing the cutie mark of a printer.

Hilda notes is a pegasus mare with a dark-pink color with a red mane, bearing the cutie mark of a notebook.

"For the new production of our latest story, we are here to interview with a group of pony priests that are conducting a secret practice in an temple deep inside a huge cave near Appleloosa." Bridget explains briefly before digging deeper into her new story. "Before then, we heard on the news of strange demonic possession that is supposedly kept at bay for the priests are making their attempts in exorcising and containing the malevolent spirits that attempted to possess several earth pony workers up on the surface near an Appleloosan dig site."

After making her brief summary on what is she will be up against in her story, Bridget smiled before the camera footage turns off momentarily.

The moment the camera footage turns back on again, it shows Bridget, Damon, and Hilda meeting proceeding further into the huge, cavernous tunnel. In just one minute of trekking down, the camera then shows an shadowy Arabic-like temple up ahead.

When the team got closer to the entrance, a bald unicorn wearing black robes filled with golden linings appeared before them.

As the unicorn is seen in a pale grey skin, he introduces himself in front of Dillard's recording footage.

"Hello every pony. My name is Father Marrius Cross, the high priestess of the South Faustian Order. I have spent over 30 years in practicing religious exorcism and cleansing to carry on Faust's guardianship in the name of her holy spirit."

"It's been an honor to meet you, Father. I have so much to talk about in your definite experience in demonic possession." Bridget said, as he acknowledges Marrius' introduction.

"It's against our sacred rights to expose the capabilities of what the demonic spirits do when possessing their victims." Marrius said grimly. "Though, I still wouldn't mind show you all a tour around our temple."

With Marrius at the front, he leads Bridget's film crew to the entrance of the temple where they meet several staff ponies sweeping the front of the building's hollow entrance. All around the temple's exterior, it was shrouded with ominous shadows and creepy whispering echoing from the eerie darkness above.

Once inside the temple's atrium, Dillard shows his camera up above where he sees a cavernous ceiling that is very dim, barely any light. Although, with the tall candles lighting up small flames, the film crew can only see wide shadowy artwork of pony angels battling against pony devils that came out of the fiery abyss.

Back to the Father Priest, Marrius stops as he lights his horn up to reveal a tall portrait of a griffon holding a pony skull in its right claw. Intrigued, Bridget and her film crew could see that the pony skull is glowing green as its eye sockets are illuminating. Furthermore, the skull had a flaming red cross on top of its forehead.

"This portrait shows Exorwings, the griffon priest who used to visit our holy grounds 40 years ago. What he's holding happens to be the pony skull that imprisoned a malevolent spirit of a nasty creature named Jieruse that ran rampart in Griffonstone." Marrius says as he explains the portrait in front of the film crew. "Exorwings tried to banish the evil spirit in the Griffon's cathedral but it was too strong for them. So, he turned the volatile artifact to us where we sealed it away in a cage made of enchanted Silver Brass and with a small holy cross on top of them."

After explaining the first portrait of Exorwings and Jierus, Marrius' moves on as he leads Bridget and the film crew to another sealed artifact down the shadowy hallways of the temple. Just like in the atrium, the hallway is dimly lit up with tall candles set aflame.

As the footage unravels in the next hour, Dillard's camera shows the film crew taking a break in a nearby empty classroom where they sat down at a large round table before going over the notes written in Bridget's and Hilda's journals. At the same time, Marrius disappeared into the darkness of the hallways before muttering something gibberish to himself.

At the same time, Bridget's video camera also turns on as she still wanted to see what she is writing on her journal.

As she takes out her pencil with her magic, she makes several notes after the 1st part of Father Marrius' interview for her story. So far, Bridget has uncovered that most of the portraits that Marrius' just showed are actually creatures that performed exorcism to imprison about more than 26 evil entities in different sacred artifacts. In fact, the artifacts kept in the temple are sealed away in the cellar room below the temple's ground floors.

"So every pony, you think we have enough notes to explain our story here?" Bridget asked as she turns towards Dillard, Hilda, and Damon.

"One can only hope. Although, there is still one more note to add into our new story." Hilda replied in a stern tone.

"What would that be??" Bridget asked, feeling unsure on where Hilda is getting at.

"Where are they keeping their sacred artifacts."

"I might as well see it for myself. Feel free to join me if you wish." Bridget spoke with determination.

"Are you sure about that? What if they won't allow you to see them?" Dill asked Bridget out of concern.

In his mind, Bridget might be violating one of the temple's policies. As a result, the priests might try to kick them out or call the police. Before Dill could say anymore, however, Bridget makes her confident response.

"I might as well sneak in. You guys can wait here."

"Okay, if you insist." Hilda replied, with Dillard and Damon nodding in silence.

Not a moment too soon, Dillard's camera sees Bridget leave the break room on her own while having her own video camera intact.

Through Bridget's video camera, she makes her way down the hallway only to find herself going astray, unable to find where they keep the sacred artifacts. However, at the end of the hallway, Bridget sees a map of the temple's layout. After surveying the map on the shadowy walls, her camera was able to catch a glimpse of the room full of artifacts which is shown at the basement level of the temple.

With this opportunity, Bridget finds a nearby stairs next to where the map is placed at as she makes her way down to the basement level.

Back to Dillard's Camera, he and Hilda are both sitting down at the table across from each other while Damon went down to the restroom to take a dump. Before they knew it, Father Marrius appeared from the hallway as he starts grinning in an awkward appearance.

From behind the father priest, a group of security guards came up to immediately restrain Hilda and Dill while one of them takes their camera.

"HEY!!!" Dill gasped in confusion. "What are you guys doing?? LET US GO!!!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FATHER??" Hilda shrieked as she is being held physically by two female security unicorn guards.

"Sorry every pony. But I have something special for you both at our Altar room." Marrius smirked as he waved his hoof at the security guards.

With one of the security guards holding the camera, it shows Dillard and Hilda screaming in a panic as they are restraining and dragging them both with their magic while following Father Marrius out of the break room.

As the screen cuts back to Bridget's video camera, she finally finds the Room filled with artifacts only to see that the door is locked up. Regardless, Bridget was able to use a bobby pin and a screwdriver for lockpicking to open up the door.

"There is no door that I can't unlock." Bridget thought to herself in eagerness.
1door opened, Bridget sees most of the artifacts locked up inside various glass cases, small, medium, and big. Just like the skull that Marrius mentioned, they all have been sealed with Silver Brass and with a holy cross made up of golden metal and little rubies.

"This is so rich!! I can't wait to record all this in my journal." Bridget said excitedly as she attempts to take notes on the artifacts the priests are keeping here.

In just 10 minutes of writing, however, Bridget could here some shouting and grunting coming from outside. Frantically, Bridget was able to hide herself in a nearby, empty crate that is seen up against the wall next to one tall glass case, holding a big, creepy pony doll.

Once inside the crate, Bridget takes a little peak as she lets her video camera to see a small glimpse of what is going on outside.

As the door opens up, a unicorn priestess walks into the room while carrying something huge over her body wrapped in a white sheet filled with a huge blood stain on it.

Seeing this as something grim, Bridget is having a bad feeling that this temple isn't what she thinks it is. In the next minute, Bridget sees the priestess disappear into another doorway on the other side of the artifact room before closing the door behind her.

With no pony else coming this way, Bridget slowly gets out of the crate before she sneaks up to the door that the priestess went through. Once Bridget's camera goes up to the door's window, she sees a dark room that is dimly lit by a hanging chandelier 19 feet above ground. Below it, a stretcher is seen in the middle of the room with a round, orange circle surrounding it, with the body tightly strapped to it. Next to it, is a small table with a tray filled with surgical tools, IV bags, and scalpels on top of it.

But with the priestess nowhere to be seen, Bridget couldn't tell if the priestess is hiding somewhere within the darkness of the secret room or not. Either way, Bridget's curiosity is getting a wind of her as she slowly opens up the door to check what was wrapped inside the sheet.

As she looked both left and right, Bridget sees that the priestess is nowhere to be found. Taking a deep breath, Bridget approaches the stretcher as she is about to unfold the sheets. But the moment the sheets unravel, Bridget's blood turned cold as she discovers the lifeless corpse of Damon staring blankly at the ceiling.

Bridget nearly fell backwards out of fright while still holding the shaken camera. Picking herself back up she then notices that Damon's throat was slit as blood already seeped out from his fatal wound.

Before Bridget could say anything about it, the door immediately closed behind her, giving her a more palpable fright. As soon as she turns her camera towards the door, Bridget then sees the priestess snarling at her as the mare is holding a sword with her magic. At the same time, the unicorn priestess' eyes are both glowing in an bright, ominous magenta light.

"W-W-What are you doing, priestess??" Bridget asked in fear.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY LAB??" The unicorn priestess hissed. "This is supposed to be off-limits, pegasus!! But since, you trespassed into our master's storage room, I'm afraid I'll have to take your blood too!!!"

Screeching with fury, the priestess flew and leaped at Bridget, forcing the Pegasus to drop the camera.

As the camera fell on the floor, it shows Bridget struggling to flap her wings as she ascends up. However, the priestess is not letting up as she grabs onto Bridget's left hind hoof with both of her front hooves while in trying to pull her down with all her physical strength. The next thing, Bridget knew is that she gets pulled down instantly as if the priestess is possessing some supernatural strength bestowed upon her by some unknown blessing in this temple.

The moment the camera sees the unicorn priestess on top, she grabs the floating sword with her right hoof, while it was floating in the air above her, and attempted to shove the long blade up against Bridget's throat. Frightened, Bridget frantically struggled against the merciless unicorn priestess as she used both of her hind hooves to shove the sword away from her. Eventually, during the struggle with the pegasus and the unicorn, Bridget's camera turns towards a tray that was lying on the floor, with a pair of scissors seen to be a few inches away from her face.

"GET THE BUCK OFF ME!!!" Bridget shouted as she continues to struggle with the crazed priestess.

"It's nothing personal, my dear. We do this for the sake of our master in return to keep the malicious spirits from escaping from us!!" The priestess grinned as she made a maniacal smile while sitting on top of a frightened Bridget, using both of her front hooves to press down onto her sword, continuing to shove it straight into the pegasus' jugular vein.

With the priestess distracted, Bridget's left wing was able to reach out from her back as it grabs the scissors. Before her sword could enter Bridget's jugular vein, the priestess was met with the scissors stabbing her by the left cheek as its blade came out from the right.

With the priestess uttering a bloody, gurgle, she went limp as Bridget pulls the scissors towards her, ripping out the unicorn's lower jaw as a spray of blood showered the pegasus' face. Once the priestess is dead, her corpse fell to Bridget's right off-screen. As for the sword that the unicorn was holding with her magic, it fell on the floor with a loud 'clanging' next to the priestess' corpse.

Exclaiming in such a mess, Bridget wipes off the blood from her face as she takes her camera back before making a mad flying dash out of the lab and the storage room.

"This is not good!!!" Bridget muttered in a panic as she flew back to the break room. "Somehow, when their priestess tried to kill me the way she killed Damon, I think they're after our blood for some grim reason. I have to warn Hilda and Dillard!!!"

While Bridget is flies her way back to the break room, Dillard's camera is now showing another dark room lit with tall candles where a group of priests and priestess are gathered before an altar where Father Marrius is raising a ceremonial dagger up high with his magic.

On top of the altar, there is Hilda being all tied up and gagged as she is making muffled screaming as if she is begging them to stop; of course, it was no use for they are preparing to sacrifice the female pegasus in front of a distraught Dillard as he is been held by the security guards.

"Every pony, we are gathered here today to present another blood sacrifice to TO OUR MASTER!!!" Marrius bellowed.

With all of the temple's staff hearing Marrius' announcement, they all started chanting ominously.

"O' Blessed Master. We humbly offer you another sacrifice of young, fresh blood to fuel the enhancements of our sacred artifacts that you bestow upon us!!!"

"Grant our power to exorcise, O' GREAT MASTER!!!"

"Grant our wish to not let such sacrifices be in vain, O' GREAT MASTER!!!"

Back to Bridget's camera footage.......
When she flew back to the break room, Bridget looks around only to realize that her friends are no here anymore. Horrified by what is going to happen, Bridget frantically checks the map up on the wall once again as she is collecting her thought about what the Priestess said earlier before she was forced to kill her.

In a quick analysis, she was able to seek out a possible room where her friends might be held up at when the priests attempt to sacrifice their blood. In short, Bridget points out to the altar room which is located at the third floor.

"I have to rescue my friends before its too late!!!" Bridget said in fear as she unfurls her wings and flies straight up the stairs, while holding her camera.

Back at Dillard's camera footage, the chanting intensifies all around the altar as Marrius is getting ready to force a blood donation out of Hilda's body.

"O' Great Master, accept their blood as part of your offering. Let their blood prolong the imprisonment of the evil spirits!!!" Marrius' chanted as he is poised his blade on top of Hilda.

"NO!! PLEASE!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Dillard screamed as he is being forced to watch in horror.

Dillard squirmed helplessly on the floor as he felt the immense strength of the security guards holding him down.

"LET IT ALL PURGE!!!" Marrius shouted as he drove his ceremonial dagger into Hilda's throat.

"GACK!!! URRRRRGLEEEEEEE!!!" Hilda gasped hoarsely as she felt the cold, crude steel enter her flesh as she spews out her blood from both her mouth and from her throat.

With several more repeated stabs, Marrius felt the mare's blood spraying at him in his robes and on his face.

Right after Hilda dies from multiple stab wounds, one of the priests collects the spilling blood that came down from the altar pedestal.

"No!! No!!! NO!!! HILDA!!!!!" Dillard wailed after seeing his friend and editor.

Before he knew it, the security guards hauled Dillard towards the altar as he is next.

"Fret not my son Dillard. You will be joining your friend Hilda as our next matyr for our master." Marrius' smirked maliciously. "Bring him up here!!!"

Back at Bridget's footage, it now shows the entrance leading to the altar where she now sees a crowd of priestess and priests chanting in front of the altar.
,
As Bridget hid behind one of the long seats near the entrance, she saw a bloodied corpse of Hilda being dragged out of the Altar.

"No!! Hilda!!!" Bridget whispered in horror as she sees her dead friend get taken away.

In the next minute, she sees that her remaining friend Dillard Night is going to be taken up to the altar to get sacrificed. With no time left, Bridget frantically looked around the Altar room to see what would save Dillard before its too late. Indubitably, she finally sees a huge chandelier hanging 20 feet above Marrius and the altar. Seeing this, Bridget sneaks towards the wall where the chain is holding the chandelier in place.

From Dillard's camera footage.....

Just as the security guards dragged Dillard 6 feet before the altar, the huge chandelier came crashing down right on top of Father Marrius, crushing him as his altar pedestal broke apart into concrete rubble. In the excruciating vandalism Marrius' back was smashed as he coughed up blood before the candles fell off, igniting the blood streaming down as it is set aflame.

With the flammable blood underneath the security guards, they freaked out as they get burned alive while Dillard finally breaks free from them before gallops down the stairs. As for the priests and priestesses, they all screamed as the light spots of bloodstains on their robes turned into flames as most of them are getting burned alive.

Just as Dillard gets his camera back, he hears a familiar voice coming from the entrance of the altar.

"Dillard, over here!!!"

"Bridget?" Dillard gasped as he sees Bridget appear from behind the seats.

Just as Dillard makes his way towards Bridget, the entire temple started to shake violently as they both are struggling to maintain their balance. From the darkness of the ceiling, they could hear high-pitched roars bellowing from all over the temple.

For those that aren't burned to death, the priests of the temple are fleeing with their lives but not before one of them berated Bridget and Dillard.

"YOU BLIND, HERETICAL FOOLS!!! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST DONE??!!! WITH OUR FATHER DEAD AND THE BLOOD ALTAR DESTROYED WE CAN NO LONGER PAY BACK OUR MASTER!!!! He created those artifacts for us so that we can repay him back with pony blood of the nonbelievers. He used that blood to maintain the power of our artifacts to imprison the evil spirits of Equestria at BAY!!!"

Before the enraged Priest could say anymore, he was picked up by an unknown force before he disappeared into the ceiling. In a split second, they see that a shower of blood came down onto the floor along with the priest's severed body parts; when the other priests and priestess ran towards the exit, they also get dragged up to the darkness above to meet the same gruesome fate.

For the destroyed altar, several cracks came out from below the pedestal as a brimming fiery light came out. With it, the cracks opened up a huge crater that allowed Marrius' corpse, the fallen chandelier, and the altar to fall straight down as they all disappeared into a huge fiery explosion coming from the crater. Shortly when the Father priest disappeared, a huge ruby talon came out of the crater as it lets out a huge furious roar that shook the whole temple in an alarming matter.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON ANYMORE." Dillard screamed as he and Bridget make a mad dash out the exit, unable to see what kind of giant creature is coming out from the huge hole in the floor. "LET'S RUN NOW!!!!"

From Bridget's camera footage, she is now flying above the floor frantically while Dillard is galloping like the wind as they tried to head out the exit of the temple. All around them, they could see that the candle holders are falling on the floor, multiple ceilings and statues coming down as breaking apart, and portraits coming down from the wall and shattering.

The worst part is from Dillard footage, is that they could hear demonic screeches coming from the walls and ceilings as there is ghastly spectators flying everywhere, hitting every pony on sight apart from Bridget and Dillard. Some of the ghosts formed up into various demonic beings that attacked the temple staff as they rip them all into bloody shreds.

With all this chaos happening, there is deathly screams echoing throughout the collapsing temple.

Unable to stand such noise and horror, Bridget and Dillard kept on running out the cavernous entrance. Throughout their way out, Bridget's footage catches glimpses of the floor giving way when the very same huge claw kept coming out from the fiery chasm.

Through Dillard's footage......

As they finally made it out into the bright sunrise, Dillard and Bridget have reached the grassy fields where they could feel the breeze from the blue sky. Catching their breath, they turn to see the huge cavernous entrance collapse as the boulders seal off the temple completely.

As they finally regained their stamina, Bridget went to check up on Dillard.

"Dillard, are you okay?" Bridget asked out of concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine. That was the most frightening story I ever witnessed." Dillard Night spoke up. "I'm just glad my daughter Midsummer Sparks isn't here to see this. She wouldn't stand being part of such a horrendous story."

"Let's just head home and........." Bridget suggested before noticing that Dillard is slowly showing a convulsion. "Uh, Dillard what's going on??"

"UUUUUURRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Dillard vomited as he let loose of black and red ooze at Bridget's face.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Bridget screamed in pain as she felt her face start to dissolve into a smoking, fleshy mess, making her collapsing and dropping her camera on the grass.

Through Bridget's camera, it now shows a dead, face melted pegasus lying on the grass.

For Dillard's camera footage, he sees himself gagging and coughing as he stopped vomiting. Just when he realized that he accidentally killed Bridget, Dillard's head starts to wrack with inner afflictions as he starts to hear a demonic voice entering his head. When his front teeth start to turn into wolf fangs, he faces his own camera while fur starts to sleep out from his pony skin.

"Something is seriously happening to me!!!" Dillard gasped as his face is turning into a skull-headed wolf in broad daylight. "Midsummer, whatever you do, don't find me!!!"

As Dillard is seen slowly transforming into a monstrous wolf-like creature, he starts howling up towards the sky.

*Footage Ends*
