Chapter 1 - Goop

Chapter 1 - Goop

Author’s note : The main character thinks in italics like this and there will be a LOT of cursing

Yeah, I’m tired of the same routine, no friends, no family, nothing, until I found My Little Pony FIM. I know It’s supposedly a girl’s show, but it’s just amazing. It was raining and the air was charged with ozone. I wandered around campus until I came to the dorms, I hid in my room and began watching a new My Little Pony FIM. When I was finished watching it I noticed a strange website advertising My Little Pony FIM episodes before they came out. I thought SCORE!! I clicked the website and the moment I got to it the power went out.WHAT THE FUCK!!! Then I felt a charged feeling in the air, right before a huge flash lit up the entire outside.

The building had been struck by lightning, it turned EVERYTHING on for a moment, including my computer, then the strangest thing happened, the screen began to bulge outwards, getting closer, images of the mane 6 around the edges of the screen. The screen was getting closer, it had a picture of the Everfree forest on it, I tried to back away and turn my head, but wherever I turned and no matter how far back I mover, it was getting steadily closer. I reached up to try and hit it, my hand got stuck, it was like some kind of slime.

When I managed to yank my hand out, it wasn’t, it was a small hoof, and there was black fur where the goop got on me. I tried to punch it with my other fist, it also stuck. When I managed to yank this one out it had turned into a med-sized hoof with white fur. I kicked it, I yanked out a HUGE hoof with black fur. I should really stop doing this I thought as I kicked it again, it turned into a med-sized hoof with blood-red fur. I tried to punch it with the small hoof again (what used to be my right hand), this time, it didn’t let me go. It crawled further up my arm, completely engulfing me and sucking me closer to my monitor.

Somehow I could still breathe, but I fought back as hard as I could, but I had already changed into a pony, then I felt the goop entering my ears (ewwwwwwww) it sent shivers down my spine, then it seemingly reached my brain, it didn’t actually do much, it just replaced some of the words I knew what the hay!  I thought for a moment, DON’T YOU BUCKING TOUCH MY CURSE WORDS I thought about what I said for a moment …aww buck it then I noticed I was shrinking you wouldn’t dare yep, I was becoming a foal dammit hey, an untouched curse word I was getting closer to the monitor and I had completed my transformation into a pitch-black unicorn foal (I looked younger and smaller than Applebloom) aww, buck it and I let it drag me through.

Chapter 2 - WHAT THE BUCK!!!

Chapter 2 – WHAT THE BUCK!!!!

Okay, where am I, and why can’t I see. I realized my eyes were closed and facehoofed …wait, faceHOOFED? I opened my eyes and looked around, I was in a familiar forest, I didn’t know why it was familiar until I saw the ruins of Nightmare Moon’s castle ARE YOU BUCKING KIDDING ME, I’M IN MY LITTLE PONY FIM!?!? I wandered up to a puddle and looked in I saw a pitch-black unicorn foal, with green eyes. Okay, first order of business, find a way back home I heard another voice, not my own, deep inside my mind {why?} to…no, I hate them, so I can… no, hate that… aww, buck it I might as well stay here a while.

I wandered around the Everfree forest when I suddenly heard a low growl please don’t let it be what I think it is I turned around and saw several pairs of yellow eyes staring out of the bushes buck, timber wolves I ran as fast as I could, they were faster. I managed to get to a clearing before they surrounded me buck, buck, buck, buck, I’m a unicorn, can’t I do magic? I concentrated on one of the timber wolves. To them I stood there with my eyes closed. I heard one charge at me, but I couldn’t react, I opened my eyes to watch a timber wolf barreling toward me (oops, accidental pun). I couldn’t concentrate, my brain reacted on it’s own.

The timber wolf charged at me well, this is the end, buck I didn’t even get to meet any of the mane six then I prepared for the pain that never came, the timber wolf charged straight at me and kept going THROUGH me HOLY MOTHER OF CELESTIA the timber wolf looked at me in about the same way. I looked at myself and I realized I had cast a spell, on myself, I was MADE of shadows, I could move through solid objects. I ran away from the timber wolves, no longer bothering to dodge trees, and I outran them. I stood, panting for a moment, then continued on the way I was heading.

I managed to reach Ponyville oh buck yes I was wandering through the town. It was about midnight, when I noticed a light on in a house made from a tree. I walked up to the front door and tried to knock, but forgot I didn’t know how to turn off the shadow body thing. Well, I don’t want to wake the entire town up yelling, so I’ll just let myself in I walked through her door and looked around, it was just like in the show, the entire house looked like it was carved from a single tree, there were all kinds of books scattered everywhere and a purple baby dragon asleep in a basket.

I began to walk up the stairs, silently, kinda hard to make noise when your hoofs go through the ground I walked into her study and saw her reading a book, she was levitating a candle and using it’s light to read, she looked exactly like in the show, a purple unicorn, with a pink and purple mane and a cutie mark of a purple star. “umm, hi, I kind of need your help” by Celestia, my voice is even squeakier that Sweetie Belle’s she jumped about a foot, I don’t think she heard anyone come in, she turned around and saw a shadow, standing in the middle of her floor.

She looked at me with huge eyes “Sweetie Belle, is that you?” …what?!?! “no, I’m not called Sweetie Belle” she blinked a few times, “then who are you” dammit, I forgot to come up with a name… how about, Shadow Spell! “I’m called Shadow Spell, I’m kind of new to town” “o-okay, I’ll try to get rid of that spell for you” and she began levitating books in front of her, looking for the right one. “aha, here it is” and her horn began to glow a purple light. I felt a tingling as I became solid again.

She looked up from her book and threw the book in the air while jumping back “N-Nightmare Moon?!” I stared at her for a few moments before saying “say what?” she calmed down a bit when she saw I didn’t have wings, and my mane and tail were black and red instead of midnight blue, plus I kinda look younger than Applebloom. She caught the book before it hit the ground and said “well, why did you come to Ponyville, and why did you have a shadow body spell cast on you?”.

“well, I don’t know where I’m from, I woke up in a forest and I cast the spell on myself when I was cornered by timber wolves, I just found this town as I was running away from timber wolves” “oh, you poor thing” yep, saw that one coming and she walked over and hugged me “you can stay with me for now” she couldn’t see my face wich was probably a good thing O_O. she picked me up (using magic) and carried me into her spare bed I thought why the buck not? And I let her tuck me in and I fell asleep.

chapter 3 - meet the gang(with a surprise) :3

Chapter 3 – meet the gang

Author’s note : The main character thinks in italics like thisand there will be a LOT of cursing. The second me thinks in these{}and in italics

I woke up wondering where I was, I looked at my hands…hoofs HOLY MOTHER OF CELESTIA and then I remembered well, let’s get this over with I got out of bed and began to go down the stairs, for two reasons, one I wanted to talk to Twilight and, two I smelled pancakes.  I was preoccupied with pancakes and didn’t notice the purple baby dragon until I almost ran into him, we stared eye to eye (I’m that short) for a while until I decided to break the silence.

“…umm, hi” “hi” he said, almost reflexively, before asking “umm, who are you?” I responded “I’m called Shadow Spell” “okay, and why are you here” he asked as though I were someone suspicious “I got here last night, I needed a spell that was on me removed by Twilight, when I told her I had nowhere to go she insisted I stay the night” I said “if you don’t believe me, ask Twilight” and he walked off to apparently do what I suggested he do.

A few second later he came back and said “okay, sorry for doubting you, my name’s spike” and he extended his hand to shake, I shook hands with the baby dragon and smiled, I felt like I had just made a friend and then I felt a strange itching all over my body and a voice in my head say {hello, I’m Bright Flight, pleased to meet you}

My body then did something weird, I began to grow taller, my eye color changed from green to blue, my coat changed from pitch black to white and my mane and tail changed from red and black to yellow and blue, the horn on my head receded and I felt a tingling, growing sensation on my back as wings grew, and I changed from a stallion to a filly and my personality began to change.

“hello, I’m Bright Flight, pleased to meet you” I said, smiling like it was the most normal thing in the world. spike was staring at me flabbergasted “b-b-but weren’t you just Shadow Spell? TWILIGHT!!!” the second comment was obviously not directed at me “well, he might not have known this, but I do, he has multiple personalities, I’m the personality of friendship and happiness.” I said with a smile “our memories are basically the same, but I just react differently” still smiling then Twilight walks in and stares at me for a moment “w-who are you?” she asked.

“I’m Bright Flight,” still smiling I continued “you met a different personality of me last night, I have four in all, but you don’t want to meet eternity unless you’re his friend, the last personality you don’t want to meet ever he’ll kill you all without a second thought, luckily he only comes out when I see someone murdered” still smiling and in a bright tone why the buck can’t I stop smiling {because then I’d go away} Twilight was staring at me with her mouth wide open. “so let me get this straight” she said when she sorted things out in her head “there are four of you, each one looks different, and your all brought out by different things” “pretty much”I answered STILL SMILING my face muscles are getting tired of smiling.

Twilight went to a different room with spike for a while. I was on my own, I don’t like being on my own because it feels like my friends abandoned me I stopped smiling and suddenly shifted back into Shadow Spell. I rubbed my face muscles with my hoofs “that’s going to be sore later.” Twilight walked back in and looked at me “hi Shadow Spell, why are you rubbing your face” “my face muscles are sore from smiling so much” I responded, still rubbing my facial muscles I just realized, I sound a lot like pinkie pie when I’m like that “anyways, you need to meet the rest of my friends” she seemed like she really wanted to see them.

might as well {yay, new friends} I walked out the door, following Twilight please not pinkie first please not pinkie first I repeated in my head I’m afraid to find out what will happen if pinkie pie and bright spell meet she, luckily took me in the direction of the apple family’s farm (I apologize for the lack of a southern accent, I have no idea how to write one and I mean no offense to any of the apple family or their fans, however I will have big mac’s famous lines).

Twilight walked up to a GIANT red stallion with an apple half on his flank “hey, Big Mac, would you happen to know where applejack is?” “eeyup, she’s out in the fields, applebucking” then he noticed me “well, hi there little guy, what’s your name” I mentally sighed before responding “I’m Shadow Spell” “nice to meet you Shadow, I’m Big Macintosh, you can call me Big Mac” I waited for a moment before responding “thanks, seeya” “bye Shadow” he called out as we walked away.

Applejack was, as he said, out bucking the fields that still sounds SO wrong {I know, doesn’t it, but still, a new FRIEND} as Bright Spell giggled with glee, we walked up to Applejack “well, hi Twilight, and who’s your friend?” “hi, my name’s Shadow Spell” I responded, bracing myself for what was to come “aww,” I knew it “well, aren’t you just the cutest thing” and she walked forward and began snuggling HELP HELP! {aww, hey this counts as making a new friend!} oh crud this time the change wasn’t gradual, it was one moment Shadow Spell *POP* there’s Bright Flight “HOLY…”(I have no idea what she says in this instance) “Yeah, there’s something you need to know about Shadow Spell…” I interrupted Twilight with a “HI, I’m Bright Flight, I hope we can be good friends” cue the face pain.

Chapter 4 – meet the gang part 2

Applejack stared at me in shock for a few seconds before saying “umm, Twilight?” “as I was saying,” continued Twilight “apparently Shadow Spell has multiple personalities, when he feels a certain emotion, one of them takes over, such as Bright Flight here” my poor face, will I EVER stop smiling? “umm, alright, are there any others?” applejack asked cautiously “Bright Flight mentioned two others, but she didn’t tell me their names” “oh, they’re called Black hoof and Spell Slaughter” I said brightly Twilight shivered for a moment before saying “Spell Slaughter and Black Hoof, huh. Pretty intimidating names” “yeah” applejack added “I think I wouldn’t want to meet them in a dark alley” “why don’t we meet…” I shouldn’t give any indication that I already know about the show, that might freak them out and make things harder “…one of yor other friends” I continued “why don’t we” twilight said “why don’t we meet rainbow next, I have a feeling I know where she is”.

As we walked toward a specific shop, there were several ponies that I was running up to and saying “hi, I’m Bright Flight, let’s be friends” Twilight seemed to be pretending not to know me. When we reached the shop, there was a kind of commotion going on, I saw Rainbow Dash hovering out of the store, being followed by two burly pegasi in white uniforms, they were brown and grey, with cutie marks of a basketball hoop and dumbbells “hey Rainbow crash, what’s going on” they seemed to be annoying her quite a bit *uhgh* Rainbow Dash groaned “will you two stop following me around?” she seemed exasperated “why should we Rainbow Crash” she didn’t seem to like being called that, I turned back into Shadow Spell with a *POP*finally, facial pain gone I walked up to them and said in a ridiculously squeaky voice “hey, why don’t you leave her alone” they looked down at me and began laughing “so, you need a foal to fight your battles for you” the brown one laughed “hey kid, go away before you make me look even worse” she whispered in my ear the brown Pegasus put a hoof on my head and said “that’s rich, now just run along” and he used his other hoof to hit me. it didn’t hurt much, but it REALLY pissed me off |let me handle this| knock yourself out I heard a cracking sound in the back of my head |nah, I’ll just knock THEM out| then I felt the change.

“uh oh” Twilight added as she saw what was going on, I grew until i was even taller than Celestia, my eyes became pure white, and my horn disappeared, but that was about all the change. This me walked over to the two pegasi who were rolling on the ground laughing. My shadow fell across them, and without looking the brow one said “so, your back on stilts eh?” he was still laughing, until I snorted. He looked up and was speechless for a moment before yelling “who the buck are you?” I didn’t answer before i punched him across the town “I’m Black Hoof” I stated, with no emotion whatsoever, I pulled my hoof back, and *BANG* another moron launched across town. Rainbow Dash was looking at me with her mouth wide open, her mouth managed to get even wider I swear, I could fit a semi in there as I changed back to Shadow Spell.

“umm, Twilight, what just happened” Rainbow Dash asked staring at Twilight “well, you just met Black Hoof, Shadow Spell here has multiple personalities that take over with certain emotions, his physical appearance changes as well, he has two other personalities, Bright Flight and Spell Slaughter. Bright Flight is a white Pegasus filly, with blue eyes and yellow and blue mane and tail.” “I guess you’re pretty cool” as she spoke she extended a hoof to shake, I took it and shook, I felt the feeling coming over me again oh buck *POP* “HI, I’m Bright Flight, nice to meet you, I hope we can be friends” rainbow mouth fell open again as she stared at Bright Flight.

Twilight cleared her throught to get rainbow’s attention before continuing “This is Bright Flight” I cut her off again, saying “HI” “and, why does she sound like Pinkie?” rainbow asked, before Twilight could even speak I cut in “OO, Pinkie Pie, the party pony, I wanna meet her please, please, please, please, please…” this continued on for a while before Twilight was able to get a word in while I took a breath “okay, okay, you can meet her” “YAY” I exclaimed, jumping around I fear for Ponyville.

As we walked, or in my case bounced, to Sugarcube corner I kept greeting everyone the same thing, “hi, I’m Bright Flight, let’s be friends” Twilight knocked on the door to a Giant house that seemed to be MADE of candy “coming!” a voice that sounded a LOT like mine said, obviously from upstairs. I heard somepony clopping down the stairs (NOT IN THAT WAY, I know some of you are thinking it) and a pink pony answered the door. I said the usual “hi, I’m Bright Flight, let’s be friends” before she gasped, hanging in the air longer than ponyly possible before shooting like a rocket toward the rest of the town.

and, now were gonna have a party thrown for us {YAY PARTY!} |meh| I looked at Twilight for a moment before saying “did she not want to be my friend?” the gigantic puppy dog eyes were overflowing with cuteness and changed back to Shadow Spell *POP* “well, she was unusual” I stated  “you get used to it” Rainbow responded  Twilight sighed before continuing “well, that’s probably the last you’ll se of her for a while, why don’t we go meet Fluttershy” I didn’t argue as we walked toward the Everfree forest, after a while we reached a cottage, surrounded by animals. Twilight knocked on the door and there was an extremely soft voice on the other side, I wasn’t able to catch what it said before a yellow Pegasus pony with pink hair answered the door and said “h-hello twilight, nopony is hurt I hope” “no, no, nothing like that, we just wanted you to meet a new pony in town, Shadow Spell” I added a “hi” for good measure she gasped loudly I remember that gasp from somewhere {oo, oo I know, episode one, when she first meets spike!} yes, …oh shit she flew straight at me so fast I couldn’t react as she picked me up and cuddled me.

{THIS COUNTS!} oh crap *POP* she was suddenly holding a Pegasus about as big as her “hi, I’m Bright Flight, I hope we can be friends”  she squeaked and the next thing I knew I was on the ground and she was hiding behind a bunny, however, most of her was sticking out, including her head every once in a while as she snuck peeks out to look at me d’awwww I got off the ground and looked at her “was it something I said?” “don’t worry, she’s always like this” Twilight assured me “it’s okay Fluttershy, this is Bright Flight, another personality of Shadow Spell’s” she began to edge out from behind the annoyed-looking bunny.

“HI, I love bunnies, do you have any more bunnies” and without waiting for an answer I ran off looking for bunnies. Fluttershy seemed slightly more relaxed when I left and edged out from behind the bunny who looked annoyed and was holding a carrot. The bunny bopped Fluttershy on the head with the carrot “angel,” she addressed it in a calm tone “your supposed to eat your food, not use it to hurt anypony.” The rabbit still seemed annoyed as it hopped away.
