Rarity Stood outside of a cave, one that according to some ponies, Rainbow dash had entered and hadn’t come out of for 19 hours. She tried calling out into the cave, "Rainbow? Darling, are you in here?"

Rarity soon walked into the cave, carefully watching her step as the floor of the cave was very uneven. It was rather quiet, and the only noise was Rarity's hooves across the cold cave floor.

As she went deeper the cave got darker and more even, but she continued further into the cave, and her eyes slowly began to become adjusted to the darkness. She was becoming worried, and started calling out more frequently for her friend, but soon enough, it became so dark that she couldn't see the ground or the walls, oddly she could still see herself, but this wasn't her first time in dark caves.

She continued on, slowly walking further into the cave, her hooves carefully tapping and sliding onto the floor of the cold, dark cave. Her breathing began to get louder and more labored, as she continued her search to find her friend. Even though the cave was dark, Rarity had the feeling that something was watching her... Suddenly, she got an unusual chill down her spine, and she felt a bit of fear. There was now a feeling of dread, and it seemed to be getting stronger as she continued her way into the dark, silent cave. Something wasn't right. It was quiet, too quiet.

what sounded like an orchestra started to play, Rarity was startled by the out-of-place sound of from somewhere further in the cave, why would there be enough ponies to play an orchestra down here? She continued to slowly walk further in, a strong feeling of dread and anticipation.

She couldn't tell exactly at first if the music was getting further away or closer. She paused to listen to try and figure out where the music was coming from but found it impossible. It was as if the music was all around her, then she saw something, a dark figure started to manifest out of the ground.

She stared at the figure in fear as it started to manifest before her. The feeling of dread suddenly got worse as the ominous figure slowly formed in front of her.

"Well, well, well, what have we here? A white unicorn, Oh I know this one So, you're the one everypony's talkin' about at one point or another?"

Rarity's legs trembled; her heart was raced. How did this mysterious pony know about her? Who was this pony, and what did they want with her?

"You're joking, you're joking, I can't believe my eyes, You're joking me, you gotta be, This can't be the right Mare, She's ancient, she's ugly, I don't know which is worse, I might just fall apart now, If I don't melt laughing first"

Rarity was speechless, shocked at what the mysterious pony was saying to her. She was used to being called beautiful, cute, and even amazing, but "ancient" and "ugly" were not words that Rarity was used to hearing about herself.

"When The demon in the void says, There's trouble close at hand, You'd better pay attention, now, 'Cause I'm the Void Demon And if you aren't shaking, There's something very wrong, 'Cause this is the first but may be the last time you hear my little song, oh (wow), Oh (wow), Oh (oh, he's the Void demon)"

Rarity shook, she couldn't believe what she was seeing and hearing. A demon, a very ugly, terrifying-looking demon, was here in the cave with her. This was a nightmare.

"Well, if I'm feelin' hungry, And I've nothin' much to do, I might just cook a special batch, Of Sweets and Candy stew"

They create a bowl of candy soup out of the void

"And don't ya know the one thing, That would make it even more neat?, A Small, tasty Sweetie belle to make it ten times sweet! (oh)”

They add a replica of Sweetie belle made from void into the bowl

"Oh (oh), Oh (oh), Oh yeah, I'm the Void demon (oh yeah, he's the Void demon)"

Rarity gasped in horror, "Y-You monster... y-you can't hurt Sweetie Belle! I-I won't let you near her! I-I won't let you hurt one hair on her head!"

they laugh it off, completely mocking Rarity "You're joking, you're joking, I can't believe my ears Would someone shut this pony up? If I had them, I would be drowning in my tears, It's funny, I'm laughing, You really are too much"

They lean over Rarity with a sinister smile.

"And now, with your permission, I'm going to do my stuff"

Rarity backed away, trying to put a bit of distance between herself and the Void Demon. She was shaking, she was absolutely terrified for her and for her little sister’s safety. "W-what are you going to do to me?"

"I'm going to break your mind" they turn around and don't speak, simply raising their claws ever so slightly They raise one claw, the void makes a pillar "Oh!" -they make another pillar,- "Ya" -they raise both claws, the floor underneath them rises- "OHHHHHHH"

"Oh, the sound of beings screaming souls, To me is music in the air, 'Cause I'm a Nightmarish Void Deamon, that kills those who don't play fair, it's much more fun, I must confess, when lives are on the line, not mine, of course, But yours, oh mare, now that'd be just fine"

"S-stay away from me! Leave me alone!" Rarity cried with her voice full of fear.

"Oh sister, you're something, you put me in a spin"

The demon grabs Rarity and spins her around.

"You aren't comprehending, the position that you're in, It's hopeless, you're finished, Your body will be mine to spear, 'Cause I'm the demon in the void, And you ain't going nowhere"

Rarity's fear into rage. She was not going to let her body be taken by this monster without a fight. "N-no! I won't let you do this! I-I'll fight you! I'll do whatever it takes to stop you!"

"Well if you won’t let me take your body." They shove Rarity off, "I still have 4 other choices."

Rarity screamed as she fell into the inky black void. It was like liquid, cold and dark. It engulfed her completely, as she desperately tried to swim to the surface, but she only sank, and sank, and sank, and sank, and sank, and sank, and sank, and sank, she frantically clawed at the liquid void, desperately searching for something, anything, to grab onto to pull herself to safety. But it was to no avail, and as she sinks in the void, Rarity saw an unconscious Rainbow dash, her heart skipped a beat as she saw Rainbow Dash, floating unconscious in the void. So that's why she hadn't been able to find her.

"Rainbow... Dash..." She attempted to call out, but her voice was lost in the void. She continued to struggle, trying to swim towards her friend.

Rarity fought to stay conscious, but her body was weakening. The struggle was fruitless, and she sank further and further into the void. Exhaustion was taking over, and she could feel her consciousness fading away.

Her last thoughts before losing consciousness entirely were of her friends, of her beloved fashion, and of her little sister, everything faded to black, as Rarity's mind surrendered to the darkness…
