This story is a sequel to Apple Bloom's Mansion
Almost one year passed since this famous night where Apple Bloom had to face a whole manor full of ghosts to save her sister and her friends. Now a professional ghost hunter, helped by her mentor professor Smart Spirit, she regularly hunts bad ghosts all over Equestria.
But one day, she learns from Diamond Cup, who went with Smart Spirit to do some research in a mysterious haunted valley named the Evershade Valley, that the ghosts of the valley, usually pacific, have suddenly turned hostile and captured the prof!
It's now up to Apple Bloom to find the origin of this hostility and to save Smart Spirit, and the valley, but she has no idea who she's up against this time.
Chapters (8)
I never thought I'd find a mistake in the description of one of your stories.
It's pacifist.
10078452
But Google translate said that it worked.
Yay the sequel, but wait, please tell me you aren’t leaving a cliffhanger?!
(In a sweetie dreamland)
10078465
No, don't worry. I will continue A Sweetie Dreamland in parallel to this one. It will just get slower. I want to take my time with the final arc.
10078468
So the sequel will be in a separate story?
10078469
The sequel to A Sweetie Dreamland? Yep. It will be a different story. A Sweetie Dreamland is a crossover with Kirby, while the sequel will be a crossover with Super Smash Bros with some other universes.
10078475
K, also what will happen to scoots?
10078503
For my other, futur story?
For this one, I will answer in PM to not spoile everyone else.
The long awaited sequel has arrived! I am looking forward to this!
10078475
When you say "a crossover with Super Smash Bros. with some other universes", does that mean you'll be including characters that aren't in Smash Bros?
It's active.
You accidentally put an s in watch.
Again, it's pacifist.
Ah, the Greenies, the most famous of the Luigi's Mansion 2 regular ghosts.
Those ghosts must be playing the roles of the Possessor Ghosts!
So long, fourth wall!
Oh, the irony!
What about the Strobulb?
Between the dead trees.
10078458
*checks dictionary* Oh, I never knew that pacific is the adjective form of pacifist! I only thought it was the name of one of Earth's oceans. Thanks for telling me.
10078547
Yep, but I won't say which ones.
10078552
All errors corrected, and you're welcome for 'pacific'.
And Apple Bloom will rapidly learn to love and hate those guys.
For Thanatos, all of this is just a game to entertain himself.
In the first story, the flashlight was never used to stun ghosts. The Poltergust can directly catch them in its vortex. So something like the Strobulb isn't needed in the characters' POV. The flashlight will only serve to light the dark.
10078601
Okay. I'm still used to the games, which utilize the flashlight to stun ghosts.
10078617
Understandable. I've sometimes the same problem when I read crossovers. So I warn here, there will be some differences between this story and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. For instance, here, Thanatos uses his powers to take control of all the ghosts in the valley. No broken Dark Moon (it doesn't even exist here). Smart Spirit is the one who must be saved. And as you said, the Possessor Ghosts are replaced by those purple ghosts (the Shadows). Smart Spirit also never entered the Treacherous Mansion, so no portal to go from one room to another, and no Pixelator to transport Apple Bloom from the lab to the manors. The ponies will have to use the prof's caravan to go from one place to another (or use Twilight's teleportation).
10078648
I haven't watched a full walkthrough of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (only watched an All Bosses No Damage Gold Medal video), so I had no idea that portals were used to go from room to room. That's pretty cool.
10078695
Yep. They're used in the last manor for some good puzzles similar to the one in Luigi's Mansion 3 with the TVs.
10078648
Hey what about the crystals that strengthen the ghosts?
10081263
I'm still not sure if I will use them. Thanatos isn't building a powerful army to invade the world (he already has millions of ghosts working for him in the spiritual world), just playing a deadly game with Apple Bloom for his entertainment.
10081284
By the way I think I thought of a way the hybrid ghost idea could work you see he isn't as powerful as the ghosts in the valley but his mortal half protects him from the mind control but he only gives apple bloom information that can help her (also what about the potler pup) but you still probably don't want to do that.
10081296
I will, maybe, use the hybrid ghost idea for the ultimate episode of the saga, but not in the way you said. And no, the ultimate episode won't be Apple Bloom's Mansion 3, there will be another, last story after this one.
Are you going to do a crossover story starring Scootaloo and/or all three Cutie Mark Crusaders at once?
10082102
I don't know yet. In the sequel to A Sweetie Dreamland, Sweetie Belle may briefly visit the universes of my other stories, but an actual story staring the three crusaders of my three stories together? I don't know.
I noticed you skipped the Sticky Situation Mission. Great story so far, by the way!
You forgot an 'e' in green, replace the 'r' with an 'l', and replace the 'c' with a 'z' in prices.
Other than those small errors, this was a great chapter. Looking forward to reading more!
10082400
Thank you, corrected.
Yeah, some missions will be skipped. Like, here, I skipped the mission to recuperate the Poltergast and Strobulb, the one to recuperate the Dark-Light Device, and the one with the webs. In other manors, the 'save the toad' missions will be skipped too.
I know you meant to say Poltergust, but I'm curious. For some reason, the name Ectoblast gets my attention, but I don't know why.
Couldn't she store it in her Poltergust?
What... The... HAY!!!
If I had the chance to, I would kill Thanatos right where he stood...
10084867
Oops.
Ectoblast is the French name of the Poltergust. A little relapse, corrected.
Not enough place. Those were some big gears.
Thanatos: "Ahahahah! You can't kill what is already dead."
More seriously, yeah. This is Thanatos. No care at all for the livings. If it is for his entertainment, he's ready to play with them like dolls until they break and are good to throw. And right now, his little doll is Apple Bloom.
The main villain of this saga, everyone. Be ready. The death tag isn't here for nothing.
10084881
Then I'll settle for the next best thing: Bring him back to life. And then I can kill him! But if it's impossible to bring him back to life, then I'll give him a fate worse than death... I'll prank him and annoy him until he goes crazy!
Marx was able to do it repeatedly to Dark Meta Knight in A Sweetie Dreamland, so why wouldn't it work on the embodiment of death?
10085356
Then he will just kill you and take control of your ghost.
10085359
*considers asking if Ultra Instinct-level dodging would help, but thinks twice* You've stumped me with that, but what if Kirby encountered Thanatos?
10085541
This is a hard question. Thanatos can kill anything with just one touch, and since he's a ghost, he's invincible to any physical attacks. But I'm sure that Kirby would be able to do something, like, suck him. Or maybe by using the Ghost Ability? I'm sure that Kirby, as a ghost, would be able to resist his control, but I'm not sure how he would be able to attack him. Thanatos remains powerful.
10085548
Kirby's killed Necrodeus, who is essentially the Pop Star universe's version of the embodiment of death. He's defeated a dark god twice and befriended it the third time. Star Dream itself has said that Kirby has nearly infinite power. And Kirby is the embodiment of all things positive, so he shouldn't easily be mind-controlled to be bad, even as a ghost. If you ask me, this information alone should be enough to make Thanatos at least raise an eyebrow.
10085611
True true. After, Necrodeus was more a lich-like being than a real ghost, and ghosts in the Kirby-verse seem to all be tangible, so it's hard to say if Kirby could attack a real, untangible ghost.
Where are the Dark Moon shards in all this?
10088198
They don't exist. Thanatos took control of the ghosts with just his own power, no need to break anything.
I can accept that.
Something I've been curious about: Does this story take place before or during Season-5?
10088211
Mmh... I haven't really decided, but I would say before season 5, or at the very least, at the beginning.
So next is the Old Clockworks. I remember there being a room where you were able to take the key that's in there without the ghost's noticing. I recall the ghost's having a reaction but I didn't get to see the full scene as I had already left the room. I bet it was hilarious.
10095071
Woah. I totally forgot about that. I hope I will be able to see this in a playthrough.
Here's the link to a video I found with that exact scene. It's not the whole scene but part of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHrz-zvMat8
10095211
Thanks. Can I have an idea of the time of the video in which the scene happens?
K so here is a time frame in which the scene happens. From when he enters the room to when he exits.
7:06 - 11:15
10095242
Thanks.
Thanatos and Pyrite have bucked up royally, AB will be taking them down hard soon enough.
10113867
Ooooh wait until the next chapter...
10113873
Dang, I forgot how creepy that laugh was. For a while I thought the creepiest laugh belonged to Kefka from Final Fantasy 6.
10113879
It's a close second.
Just a quick thing to correct.
10116121
Thanks.
But will Applejack and Smart Spirit be revived?
