> The Fastest Girl Alive Return of Nightmare Moon > by Nightmarity19 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Salem Gone Wrong > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The gust of wind blew by as Pinkie zoomed by a Welcome To Salem, MA sign then stopped for a moment, taking in the current surroundings of where she was and how she was going to do this. The city of Salem looked more gloomy with mist wrapped around her feet but is more than Twilight told her before she sped off into Salem, MA. So this is it huh? I kinda figured it to be more lively Pinkie thought, walking around the marketplace cautiously looking up at some stores that were boarded up for closing. The ambiance of it all made Pinkie feel uneasy at best with no reason behind it. Then all of sudden she heard a loud scrapping noise grinding on the hard granite road and when Pinkie looked up to see a woman wearing a black dress holding a shovel in her hands. "You are a foe of our Lord Nightmare Moon" the woman said, raising her shovel high above Pinkie's head. Pinkie's eyes widened but quickly dodged the attack using her speed power to avoid the attack in a flash. The woman came charging this time succeeding in her shovel attack, causing Pinkie to fall over and do a back tumble before getting back up again. Building up speed Pinkie round housed kicked the crazy shovel lady. She went down with a thud leaving Pinkie a few bruises and confusion as to why a random woman attacked her. Getting close to her, the pink speedster opened one eye revealing a dark blue iris that made it all the stranger. Who caused this? Are they're others like this one? Questions that needed to be answered but first thing Pinkie had to get out of the fog before more show up for a play date. She sped out to a clearing where things were clearly more normal which confused Pinkie even more. People were eating, children played happily, and birds were chirping like it was some pleasant paradise or something. "So what I dealt with was just an illusion?" Pinkie asked herself. This was all too weird for Pinkie to handle even by her standards. Walking around the place made it harder to comprehend then all of a sudden out of nowhere a woman in her mid 50s appeared in front of her nearly scaring the living daylights out of Pinkie. "Hello young lady are you enjoying your time in Salem?" she asked. "Y-Yes I am" Pinkie stammered to speak. The old woman walked away from Pinkie humming a soft tune smiling as she did so. That was so creepy I just need to find this person Twilight told me to find Pinkie remembered as she changed from hero to civilian in less than a minute. Meanwhile, a man with rock star like hair sporting a shirt, skinny jeans, wearing a black spiked leather jacket walked into a bar going upstairs to meet Nightmare Moon who was enjoying some scotch whiskey until this man sat down a few inches away from here. "You have arrived my apprentice, I do hope that no one followed you" Nightmare said moving her head closer to the lantern. "I was not but I'm glad your here Moon, I found that hero you mentioned" he said. Nightmare Moon let out a small sinister smile, sliding a picture of Pinkie Pie speeding down a distant highway several months ago. Rockstar lifted up the picture to get a better look at it, examining the picture put a smirk on his face knowing this was going to be easy. "Tread carefully and do not underestimate the speedster" Nightmare warned him. "Yes my princess" Rockstar responded, getting up from his chair and begin to walk away. Nightmare Moon sat back with a devilish grin spread across her face. Pinkie zoomed even more down main street of Salem until coming to a stop at a tavern then seeing Rockstar leaving the very same tavern. The curiosity began to take hold of the speedster as she secretly followed him making sure he didn't notice her. Now where is he going? Pinkie thought hiding behind a trash bin. Rockstar turned around but saw nothing until a sudden whoosh sound breezed past him. When he looked up all he could see was Pinkie in her civilian clothing just standing a few feet away. Pinkie clenched her fists in anger, wanting nothing more than to find out what is going on here. "A bit early to tussle with me speedster?" Rockstar joked. Pinkie snorted. "What's going on here?!? What do you have against Salem?!?" she yelled. "I'm afraid I don't have the slightest idea of what your talking about" Rockstar responded playing dumb. But Pinkie was not stupid, she had to know what was going on here. "Now if you mean that little stunt with that shovel woman then that was me" Rockstar continued. "SO IT WAS YOU!" Pinkie snapped. "Easy there speedster your not going to defeat me anyway so it doesn't matter" Rockstar boasted. Without thinking, Pinkie speed punched him, knocking Rockstar back causing him to back flip to the ground. "Ok ouch that hurt but I'm impressed" Rockstar said kneeling down on one knee wiping the blood from her mouth. Pinkie grabbed him quickly then slamming him through a rock solid wall almost breaking his back and Rockstar can see the fire in her eyes not caring if Pinkie pushed the envelope to get him 6 feet under. "That temper of yours is really interesting" Rockstar said fading into dark black sand before reforming behind Pinkie. He went to shoot her but Pinkie moved too quick to be caught by mere bullets. As soon as all his bullets were exhausted from his gun, he put his twin desert eagles back in its holsters looking up at Pinkie still pissed off. "You have amazing powers Flash but your luck is going to run out once I come to Metropolis" Rockstar proclaimed disappearing in the shadows until he was non existent. Pinkie just narrowed her eyes before turning away then all of a sudden the mist from before thickened her vision. When it cleared, some people from Salem Church with different kinds of weapons surrounded Pinkie from escaping. Pinkie looked at them, holding her ground and not backing down. One of them charged at her but was unsuccessful as Pinkie moved quickly. She used this opportunity to kick the man in the ribs, knocking him back into some bushes. One by one Pinkie took them down then looked as they writhe in pain. I'm sorry but it's for your own good Pinkie thought feeling guilty for hurting these innocent people. A single tear flowed down her face as she zoomed away. > Chapter 2 Midnight Coven > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A dark cloud loomed over a local church where Pinkie could see people of all genders, races, and ages all carrying weapons. Poking her head out to look up a bit, making sure no one spotted her hiding behind a wall of the chruch. Pinkie clicked her watch to help her change into a long black dress and a white bonnet as she followed the growing crowd of chruch goers sitting down next to a 16 year old girl. She didn't notice Pinkie through her disguise but Pinkie noticed the same blue hue from that woman who attacked her when she arrived in Salem. Who could cause these people to act brainwashed? Pinkie wondered. Footsteps echoed through the hallway shushing the conversations as they all stood in glory of their new God and Lord Nightmare Moon. Seeing this malevolent psychotic person inside a church in Salem, MA made Pinkie's skin crawl and she could also see Rockstar Beats standing by her side leading the people in song. What the hell are they doing here? Pinkie got more worried than angry or a little bit of both. Once the song was over Nightmare Moon gestured to everyone to have a seat that signaled her apprentice to head to another room which made Pinkie suspicious and wanting to investigate. "Good evening my dear followers. It is quite amazing this night brings us all mercy and prosperity, but I do hope you all know about a certain speedster who has been going around spreading havoc everywhere she goes" Nightmare Moon explained showing a picture of Pinkie Flash to the crowd. The crowd booed which gave Pinkie an opportunity to slip away unnoticed as Moon continued her sermon with her brainwashed public. Once she was far enough away she spinned in a circle and changed into Pinkie Flash The Fastest Girl Alive. "So the hero has once again graced us with her presence" Rockstar said stepping out of the shadows holding his desert eagles in both hands. "I have no time for a person who thinks hiding in the shadows is awesome" Pinkie taunted. "Sharp tongue, it looks like I'm going to cut it off" Rockstar threatened. He fired a few bullets that were easily avoided and Pinkie did quick attacks knocking him for a loop before thrust kicking him in the face, sending him flying through a wall to a parking lot out back. Rockstar got up again but this time it took him a bit more time to stand on his feet. "You can't win this Pinkie, once my master gets these people to fully convert it will be too late" Rockstar said. Pinkie then ran a circle around him but he saw through her trap and shadow punched her causing Pinkie to end up back first into a brick wall howling in pain. Rockstar smirked knowing he has the speedster right where he wanted her. A shadow tendril was fast approaching, Pinkie just go enough reaction time to dodge the attack then she noticed Rockstar had a bunch of shadow induced tendrils appearing out of his back which freaked out Pinkie a bit but remained focused on her goal. "You can't beat me! It's impossible!" Rockstar said smiling devilishly. "That's where I prove you wrong" Pinkie replied building up a solid vibration around herself. Rockstar's tendrils went to attack her but all it did was go through her body like she was some kind of ghost. With a happy like smirk across her face, Pinkie raced to him then going through his body negating his powers in a matter of seconds. "What did you do?!? Where are my powers you arrogant fool?!?" Rockstar shouted. All Pinkie did was knock him out with one swift heel kick to the face breaking some teeth and bleeding from his mouth that spilled on the cold ground. Too much power and following the wrong person will always lead to destruction Pinkie thought, feeling pit on Rockstar. She zoomed off to a nearby bell tower which gave her an idea to free everyone by emitting a large sound frequency that will snap those people from their hypnosis trance so Pinkie grabbed the bell's string and pulled it hard. DONG! The bell rang loud all over Salem including inside the church where everyone that was under Nightmare Moon's control broke from their trance they were under before leaving. Nightmare saw what was going on and knew Pinkie was behind it so she teleported outside, spotting the pink speedster standing up there daring her to come up. Without any hesitation, Moon teleported up to the bell tower but didn't see Pinkie. "Where are you Flash? Come out and play so I can rip out your organs or at least give you everlasting nightmares" Nightmare said sharply. All of a sudden Pinkie double kicked her out of the tower then crashing into a carriage of hay as a crowd of people ran back into their homes. Before Nightmare could re collect herself a sudden spinning heel kick sent her flying into food barrels before cuffing the queen of nightmares but Pinkie looked back she could see her apprentice had disappeared. "Damn he got away but at least I got you" Pinkie said zooming Nightmare Moon to a maximum security prison where she will spend the rest of her life incarcerated. Meanwhile, Rockstar walked into a laboratory where Kate sat on her couch sipping some tea before getting up to greet Rockstar. "Mister Beats I am very pleased to see that you have come on such short notice" Kate started, shaking his hand. Rockstar returned the handshake. "So Nightmare I mean my master told me that you have some special experiment to eradicate those heroes." Kate smiled then led Beats to a control room where he could see Princess Celestia in some kind of glass chamber slowly turning into her darker half Solar Flare and from what he saw, the wings were already shifting into nothing but flames of pure hellfire. "This is incredible Kate when will it be ready for real world testing" Rockstar asked impressed. "Very soon my friend and when the time comes Solar Flare will reduce those heroes into nothing but ashes" Kate proclaimed. Rockstar turned to walk away to the car where Kate was going to drive him to Metropolis but she stopped him for a moment. "That speedster numbed your powers, allow me" Kate offered, placing a hand on his chest giving back his full power. "Thanks" Rockstar said. "No problem" Kate responded getting in her black Cadillac and driving off.
