Fluttershy woke up with a monstrous headache, her vision was blurry and a rather sweet smell filled the room.

“Greetings, Miss Fluttershy” a rather large colt said to the pegasus, all the while looking at her ID.

“Ehm…hello?” the shy pony replied.

“I am sorry for the inconvenience our little abduction has brought you, but once we saw your talent in the hotel reception we had to act quickly.”

“It, it’s no problem really. But could you please untie me… I am feeling really funny.”

“That must be the potion we gave you. It’s safe, I assure you, made from the best Everfree has to offer really. It only enhances your senses… and your acceptance.”

“My acceptance? But who are you ponies anyway?” Flutterhy asked while fighting through the ever increasing haze her mind was put under.

“Our names are not important, but our cause is Miss Fluttershy. We are The Order of The Moon and we seek to release Nightmare Moon once again, so she can bring the paradise of everlasting night.”

“But Luna… she was cured…”

Fluttershy’s words were now struggling to get out as her mind encountered a new cold sensation, devoid of her usual compassion and care for others. These new thoughts were powerful, vain, and selfish...and incredibly tempting.

“We are aware of that incident that you and your friends encountered, but you fail to realize one small but vital detail. Nightmare Moon was Luna, but after that magic you performed she was not destroyed but merely dispersed into the Equestria night. It took our brethren unicorns a lot of magical energy, but we managed to collect every last amount of her divine essence in this village. All she needs now… is a host.”

Even in this state of mind, Fluttershy understood what she was in for and tried to struggle at the chains binding her, to no avail. A familiar purplish mist came from the corners of the room, seemingly driven by the chanting from the unicorns filling the room. It began to crawl ever so slowly up her hind legs, leaving the parts is covered black as the night itself. The new welcoming cold sensation made Fluttershy twitch and collapse. The chains holding her keeping her body in an upright position.

“Such a fertile mind….”

“No stop, please!”

“Fighting spirit even, I like it…”

The mist began to spiral around the pegasus like a snake only to delve right into her open mouth, leaving Fluttershy
unconscious.

The mares woke up to an unusual darkness, as if the night had not yet lifted itself. Strange looks were exchanged between them, only broken up by the ever present screech of Pinkie Pie when something strange or interesting appears. The mares looked to Luna for guidance, but the Moon Princess in disguise was still asleep. A few not so subtle nudges from Applejack solved the problem quickly.

“Sis, I want that cake!” said Luna through her sleep, her body still in the shape of Hammer Toss.

After a quick shower and toothbrushing, the mares were out of the hotel.

“Has anypony seen Fluttershy?” Twilight asked receiving only negative answers from her friends.

“We need to be careful, it’s almost noon and the sun is not up yet the ponies here don’t seem rattled at all.” Rarity concluded, trying to investigate by asking one of the many street vendors in the village.

“A divine night to you, Miss…”
“Rarity… and to you too! Say, could you please tell us what time it is?”

“Of course! It is 11:34 if my watch is not mistaken. Care to buy some candles? They are great for a romantic dinner!"

“Eh, thank you but we happen to be on a business trip, so there's no time for shopping. Nice talking to you, have a great… night!”

“You too Miss Rarity!”
As Rarity began to turn back to her friends who were counting the supplies and searching for there dear friend, she huddled them together and said:

“Okay girls, it seems this whole “night at noon” situation is not something these ponies care too much about. Our best course of action is to not draw attention to ourselves… Where is Pinkie Pie?”

Their attention was shifted to a yelling pink pony in the middle of the market. Who was pointing at the moon and screaming how it was noon and someone should tell Celestia. A large gulp was then shared by the group, as guards approached them from each side. The group acted quickly, using Twilight’s magic as a diversion.

The mares ran to the unused building to hide and after the commotion in the market subdued, regrouped and surveyed the whole situation. To their dismay Pinkie Pie and Vinyl were missing, surely captured by the overwhelming numbers of guards that controlled the streets of the village.

“Where have they taken them?” Applejack inquired, in rage of such a foul deed been done to her friends.

“Probably the town hall, but we need to get there quietly and unnoticed.” Twilight replied

“In other words, as less Pinkie Pie as possible.”

“Yes, that would be favorable indeed.” Twilight replied again, sarcasm flowing through her words. A futile attempt to dampen the severe problem the mares faced in the horde of crazy ponies.

The mares did as Twilight suggested, taking their time choosing to move from one secure alleyway to the next. Applejack showed her bucking power by knocking out one unsuspecting guard and Twilight her tactical prowls, mixed with an uncanny knowledge of physics by using a stack of barrels to subdue an oncoming patrol as well.

Once the group was safe and secure in a bush next to the city hall, they nudged open a small window and peeked through to see and hear what this cult was going to do to their friends, and form a plan.

Inside the city hall, which looked remarkably similar to a castle that Nightmare Moon would be proud of, a large semi-circle of ponies wearing dark purple hoods with full moon fastenings were chanting some song in a forgotten tongue while Vinyl and Pinkie Pie were spread eagled and hung from two wooden poles each facing a Gothic looking throne.

“Princess, what are they chanting?” Rarity inquired

“It’s very old dialect of Aramareyn, but I know the song well… too well.”

“Well, what does it say?”

“Oh Queen, blessed with grace and might,
Show them the power of the Night.
Their souls are yours to take,
Powerful peons they will make.
Oh Queen, graceful and divine
Let them be thine.
For once your spell touches their core
They shall be Shadows forever more.”

As Luna, disguised as Hammer Throw, recited the old poem she would have rather forgotten, a pony entered the ongoing induction leaving the group shell-shocked.

Black latex stockings, wings proudly erect, and the rest of her body in a red latex suit with a whip in her mouth and a vicious smile filled with bad intentions. If they didn't know any better, they would have thought the food at the hotel had some poisonous mushrooms in it because there stood none other than Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness. Ready to torture, please, and mentally destroy both Pinkie Pie and Vinyl.

“Hello girls, so nice of you to join us in this festive season.” Fluttershy said, her voice a few octaves lower than usual with a unsettling amount of sternness mixed in.

“Pinkie Pie, are you seeing what I am seeing?” Vinyl asked, bewildered by this new Fluttershy

“Wow, she looks just like in my fanfic…” Pinkie Pie said, completely ignoring Vinyl’s question.

“Remind me to ask you about that if we survive this.”

Fluttershy moved in on the roped ponies, making sure her body rubbed against both Vinyl and Pinkie Pie. Each of them let out a muffled moan, as the aphrodisiac in the air began to take its toll on the two mares.

“What have you done to Fluttershy, fiend?” Vinyl demanded moments after regaining her composure.

“What are you saying Vinyl? I am Fluttershy. I just wanted to change my look a bit. Don’t say you don’t like it, I dressed up specially for you girls!”

Fluttershy continued her pursuit of the mares’ bodies, this time placing her latexed hooves onto the tips of their vaginas and moving them in rhythm, ever so slightly.

Her captives could only squirm in response, the experienced touch arousing their roped up bodies with ease, clouding their resolve in a mist of pleasure and forbidden ideas. Susceptibility to suggestion was becoming an issue, each calculated stroke of the gloved hooves at a time.

“I know you two can feel it. The draw, the sweet temptation of darkness that now is entering your minds, taking over your thoughts. Liberating you from guilt, responsibility, and the need to help others as well.”

“Stop it please…” was the only thing Vinyl could muster as her body was betraying her, a cold presence beginning to rush over her spine.

She looked over only to see an empty look coming from Pinkie Pie, her mind already prepared for the transformation.
Then as the chants intensified and the demon inside Fluttershy noticed the preparations for Pinkie’s induction were done, she focused on the pink mare slowly, leaving the panting Vinyl alone, with precious moments to regain what was left of her composure.

One of the servants untied Pinkie Pie but the pink mare only sat there, content with her new fate.

“So wonderful of you to see the right path Pinkie Pie. Now I can show your friend what she is missing.”

A servant moved quickly attaching a large black strap on onto his mistress, allowing her to attack the last few remains of Pinkie Pie’s free will.

Fluttershy penetrated Pinkie’s vagina with deadly accuracy and unbelievable strength, increasing her rhythm one devastating thrust at a time.

Pinkie began to salivate and scream in delight, her mind only allowed to use its most basic and animalistic functions of pleasure and lust.

Vinyl turned her head away in disgust, hoping to reduce her own arousal from before, but the screams were echoing in the hall, overshadowing the chants with ease. Each new one was louder and filled with desire for more than the last one. Even the mares in the bushes had a hard time ignoring the intense sexual pleasure Pinkie Pie was emitting from her screams and moans.

The scene continued on, as Pinkie even turned around and stood on her hooves, allowing the strap-on to be pushed in even further, and harder. The orgasm that Pinkie felt was heard far beyond the bushes where the rest of the group was, and it signaled the beginning of the Initiation for the pink mare.

The ability to talk came back to Pinkie, but her words of ”Thank You mistress…” only deepened the agony of both Vinyl and the mares outside.

“Wonderful, now we can begin. Repeat after me…”

Thick black goo was now oozing its way around the floor, stopping in front of the pink mare, forming a circle, and then a
spiral that was moving to her body.

“My days are over, left is only night …”

Pinkie Pie repeated her mistress's silky voice, and the goo began to slither its way around the pink mares body, leaving a black taint on her pink fur as it went.

“I succumb to your might…”

Each word moved the goo closer to the open mouth and more of the substance was now covering the body, as only the shoulders and head were now free from the dark grasp.

“For you shall set me free…”

The head was now covered too, only the mouth left, and with the last part Pinkie said even that was now engulfed in the pitch black of the goo.

“As now darkness is me.”

The ball of black goo squirmed for a long minute, muffled groans and giggles emerging from it and then suddenly it fell away, revealing a new pony in Pinkie’s place.

Black fur, cat-like irises, fanged teeth, and even a tail that was now like that of an imp and not a pony. Only the cutie mark and the glossy pink mane remained of the jolly party-loving mare.

“Thank you mistress for setting me free. Allow me to return the favor.” The dark being said with a bow.

“Please do, this body is in need of some darkness.”

Fluttershy flexed her neck and the black Pinkie Pie bit with her fangs, causing a dark substance to begin entering the Pegasus' body. A black aura enveloped her and with a bang she grew in stature, becoming as tall as Celestia or worse, Nightmare Moon.

“Luna, what just happened?!” Twilight whispered as loud as one can and call it whisper.

“…Phase one.”

“Oh no, you mean Fluttershy is becoming Nightmare Moon?”

“Yes, the ritual of Betrayal. The darkness can invade anypony but in order for it to consume you the mare must be betrayed by her dearest friends. If enough of them infect her like I was, we will have an entity to fight and no elements to fight them with.”

“What do we do, if Vinyl becomes a…”

“… a Shadow…” Rarity interjected.

“… then only two more are needed to finish the ritual.”

“So, what do we do?” Twilight asked.

Luna looked at Rarity, and nodded nervously.

“Come on Applejack, our job is over here.”

As Rarity ran out of the bush Applejack followed, leaving the two mares alone in the bush.

“Twilight, you will have to ear this horn-ring for my plan to work.”

Luna, still using the Hammer Toss disguise, pulled out a silver horn-ring of her saddlebag, and gave it to Twilight.

“What does it do?”

“ I can’t tell you. You have to just trust me.”

“…Alright.”

Twilight put the ring on, but nothing seemed to happen.

“What now?”

“See if there are guards outside.”

“Sure.”

Twilight peeked out, but a devastating knock to the head made her lose her consciousness.

“Hammer Toss always was a great bucking pony…”
