> Pinkie's Inner Demon > by ChibiCreamPuff > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Funeral > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn Fading And Dusk Rising, our five ponies were at a graveyard. Grieving over the loss of their dear friend, Rainbowdash. Twilight and Pinkie brought pink and red roses. Pinkie cried the most silent yet powerful tears. She would miss Dash the most. Even though it was she that killed her. Pinkie didn't mean to do it. Somehow she just, lost it. Went berserk, lonely perhaps? Since no pony had gone to Gummy's After Birthday Party? Twilight knew Pinkie was the closest to Rainbowdash, so she gave her dear friend a tight hug. Finally, Pinkie let the rest pour. Let her eyes drain all of those tears she's kept in since then. "It's ok Pinkie, let it all out..." Twilight had tried to confort her friend. Pinkiepie coughed a bit, then looked up to Twilight. "T-Twilight......I just d-don't know how to even l-live without her!......S-She always taste t-tested my....my cupcakes! I.........can't.........I wish.....she was here......." Quietly, Twilight whispered something into Pinkie's ear that made her brighten up a little. "She IS here....in spirit....." Pinkie smiled. "Y-Yeah....at least she's not.....not....gone forever.........W-We'll see her again.......someday....." Twilight had a reassuring smile. "Yeah, we will...." It was about 9 PM once they all got home. Twilight had invite Pinkie to stay with her for as long as she liked. Until she was able to make cupcakes again without crying or gagging. The purple unicorn didn't know why Pinkie did this toward cupcakes, Pinkie loved cupcakes. But, she didn't want to be rude, or get Pinkie all upset. "Goodnight Pinkie..." Twilight whispered, turning off the lamp that lit the room. "Goodnight, Twilight......." > Nightmare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "N-No!" Screeched Pinkie as she twisted and turned in bed. Twilight was already asleep, so she didn't hear Pinkie. Pinkie didn't know what was happening. She fell asleep and just saw a dark room. "W-Where am I?" Yawned Pinkie, as if she just woke up. "Twi...Twilight? Are you there?" "....Quiet...." A voice echoed in the darkness that was like a forbidden land, a jail cell. "Who's there?! Twilight?....Is that you?" Asked the quivering pony. ".......No.....for I am not a pony....." There it was again. "Then what, and WHO are you?" The pink pony had so many thoughts spinning in her little head. She was dreadfully confused. ".......A....I'm a vision.......A.....Demon......" Chuckled the voice, seeming to have fun answering the clueless pony's questions. "Uh....ok.....umm.....Little Demonic thing?....Can I see you?" Pinkie was startled to hear the word 'demon' as she never wanted to see a creature from the Underworld, but she was curious. "Please....Call me Pinkamena....." A bright red light glew. As it shone Pinkie thought she heard screams of little fillies, but that went away after she saw the demon's face. The demonic thing looked sort of like a pony. She was a mare, a dull pink shone of it's skin. While it's mane was a dark hot pink that was faded a little. It had looked as if it were never brushed. Glowing red eyes shone at the pink pony brightly, also showing that on the tips of Pinkamena's hooves were little sharp edges like claws. They slowly creeped back in Pinkamena's skin. A sound emitted from the scene. Sounded like a monster that had just finished a pony as it's meal. Licking and biting the remainders. 'Disgusting' is all Pinkie thought when the sound made her stomouch flip. "Like I said, I'm the ghoul demon Pinkamena...I'm alot like you....Pinkie....heehee......." Pinkamena started to lurch toward Pinkie, it's sharp teeth made her look hungrey. Hungrey for it's prey. A pony. "How do you know my name?......" Pinkie was very confused at this statement. She backed away a few feet, only for Pinkamena to step forward. "We've met before....remember.........Gummy's After Birthday Party......Dash was invited.....man...wasn't she a cupcake!" This demon licked all her teeth, accidentaly cutting herself. She didn't care any bit though. "Y-YOUI! Dash! You MADE me make her into a cupcake! Didn't YOU!!" Little by little, Pinkie felt like she wanted to burst out all her anger. Right at once. Pinkamena smirked. "Yes.....now, we can become one again.....Work....as a team......" She was only a foot away from Pinkie now. "N-NO! I....I'm NEVER EVER working with YOU again!" Regrettingly, she released all that anger. But, Pinkamena was still smirking. A wider smile though, her teeth could be seen. "Oh, but possession is EASY!I could possess you NOW if I wanted to!" The demon lurched as if to attack. "N-NO! Somepony will come! I WILL BE SAVED! OH DEAR CELESTIA! SOMEPONY HELP ME!" Loudly, the pink pony screeched. Trying to get somepony's attention. Pinkamena was now ready. "See you in the morning, Pinkie....." She pounced turning into a cloud of dark pink dust and flew into Pinkie. "AAH!" Pinkiepie screamed. Twilight woke up instantly. "Pinkie! Are you alright!?" Pinkie finally realized it had been just a dream. > Hidden Memory > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie gasped for air. "I-I.....Nightmare......no...." Slowly, Pinkie got up and had gotten ready for work. "Pinkie! You can't work at Sugar Cube Corner! One, you CAN'T STAND cupcakes anymore! And Two, You're not fit to work in a while!" Twilight was really worried for her Pink friend. "Well, can I at least take a walk?" She asked feeling tired. Twilight nodded. She was off! The outside air had calmed herself down so she could breath normally again. Everypony was bumbling through town. The sun was just rising, and the food smelled delicious. After she had waved to Lyra, she saw the big pink building. The same store the Cakes' ran. Also, the same store she used to work at. Pinkie never felt this sick in her life. Even though she felt nausea, she still walked into the store. DING! Softly, the bell rang. Mrs. Cake came to greet whoever was at the door. But when she saw it was Pinkie, she gasped. "Pinkie! You're not supposed to be here! You always get sick around cakes! Well, at least now a days...." "I know Mrs. Cake. Just came to check up on everything!" Slowly, Pinkie smiled. She's barely smiled since RainbowDash died. Mrs. Cake smiled. "Oh, it's quite alright! Just, be careful ot to get sick!" Pinkie nodded. Then watched Mrs. Cake trot off to the Cake Twins. "Pinkie!" The pink pony quickly looked around her. "What? Who's there?" "Yes Inkie?" Herself answered. But, she sounded younger. A filly! Slowly, she turned around to see two fillys walking to the basement door. It was herself along with her sister Inkie! "What excactly are we gonna do?" The grey one asked. "Ha! I told you silly! Make cupcakes!" Filly Pinkie said cheerfully as she hopped down the basement with her sister. Quickly, Pinkie ran into the basement, chasing after them. "Hey....Inkie? What does love mean?" Asked the usually cheerful pink filly. "W-What do you mean?" The grey one stepped back a step. Filly Pinkie was silent for a moment. "The word 'love' defines nothing...it's just a mere word. Not such a thing exists....." Young Pinkie said. Reaching for a double-edged knife. Pinkiepie noticed something familiar. The eyes and mane of Filly Pinkie were different. Filly Pinkie's eyes were blood red, and her mane and skin were just like Pinkamena's. "Oh no.." Pinkie said. "I was possessed back then too?!" "Pinkie, you're scaring me!" "Oh, and don't call me Pinkie anymore...call me......Pinkamena." Filly Pinkie lunged at Inkie, shoving the knife on the side of her ribs, making Inkie bleed rapidly. "AAH! Pinkie! PLEASE! STOP!" Filly Pinkamena took another lunge at Inkie. "No!" This horrific scene caused Pinkie to cry a little. "No! Stop! Who's showing me this! Please stop it!" A dark chuckle emitted from the screams of horror and pain. "See your past?" Pinkamena showed herself. "My...Past?!" Pinkie was surprised by this statement, yet horrified at the same time. "Yes. Seventeen years ago.....we were just fillies.......a memory......." "A-A memory.....I....YOU killed her?!" Pinkie was furious. She loved her sister. "he...Don't you remember?...." The demonic ghoul chuckled. "That was the FIRST time I possessed you!" Pinkie didn't try to fight back, she knew she would lose at this state. "First Time? So, that's where my sister went! Y-You!" "I what?" Pinkamena said with a sly smile. Knnowing something that Pinkie didn't. And that was, Pinkamena was a part of Pinkie. Seperated though. As if two different people. ".....Who excactly are you?....." That accidentaly slipped out. She didn't really want to know. Plus, she's a demon. She could easily trick Pinkie. Slowly, the dark pink ones smile faded. "That's classified. At least for now..." In the snap of a lightning bolt, Pinkamena was gone. And Pinkie was in the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. "What did she mean of 'It's Classified for now'?" Pinkie kept asking this to herself over and over. "Well, I guess it's a mystery, for now..." > Twilight's Promise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taking easy steps so she wouldn't get sick easily, Pinkie slowly trotted home. 'Who excactly are you?' These thoughts had stayed in her head ever since she left Sugar Cube Corner. 'That's classified, for now....' What did she mean by 'for now'? Would Pinkamena tell her later, or will she find out on her own? So many questions span around her head. Making her very dizzy. Once she arrived on Twilight's step, she had to lean on something for a second. She felt really queasy. Quietly, she gasped for a little air before opening Twilight's door to come in. "...I'm...h....home..." Twilight came down the stairs to welcome her friend. But when she saw Pinkie wasn't feeling to good, she went to help Pinkie walk. "What happened?!" Twilight asked walking her friend to the couch. "Did you smell cupcakes?" "Twi...light.....Inkie.....my....sister......I need to rest...." Pinkie stuttered. Shivering a little as if about to collapse. Twilight walked Pinkie upstairs into the bedroom. "Come on Pinkie...." As always, Twilight was really worried about her friend. As they reached the bed, Twilight helped lift Pinkie on top of the bed. She also put the blanket on her. As soon as Twilight gave the blanket to Pinkie. She curled up into a ball, tugging the blankets with her. Twilight sat on the bed next to Pinkie. "Pinkie, I want to promise you something...." She said wrapping her hoof around Pinkie, pulling her into a tight hug. "Yes....Twilight?" Pinkie wondered what her promise was. "I..promise I'll always protect you, I won't lose another friend...." Pinkie hugged Twilight back, sobbing tears of happiness. "...I-I don't.....want to...to lose another fr-friend either!" Twilight smiled a small smile. "I know...I know......" > The Truth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight had fell asleep with Pinkie that night. And when she woke up, she saw Pinkie still snoozing. She slowly smiled, seeing Pinkie's smile. To as if she was having a great dream. The purple unicorn got up and went down to make some pancakes. Well, in Pinkie's mind she visioned herself eating millions of Cupcakes. Blue frosting, they were delicious. She had been glad to be able to eat cupcakes again without getting sick. But after she took a bite of her last cupcake, she heard some kind of snicker. A really creepy snicker. A demonic snicker. ".....Pinkiepie......" Pinkie quickly turned around. It was that same ruby eyed demon. "...You're enjoying those...aren't you?...." A little chuckle emitted from her sharp smiling teeth. Pinkie quickly looked at her once bitten cupcake. Inside, it looked like a bloody mess being squished out filled with the guts and wings of a pegasis. Rainbowdash. "Made with love, from both me, you, and Dashie!...." Pinkie started to blush. Not love blush, but mad blush. She was deep red to the core. Pinkie put her hoof in the ground, seeming as if she were to attack. Her nostrils flaring in anger. Grinding her teeth, she looked like she was ready to shout. "Hey....don't get all mad at me! I'm not the only one that made those cakes! You did....you put the meat in and covered the icing on top of the Cutiemark!" Pinkamena's red eyes flared with red mist as to showing some anger too. Pinkie suddenly held back, even though she was drowned in rage. Pinkamena smirked at this. "Aww....poor baby, gonna cry?" Her hoof just below her mouth. Seeming to be planning something. Pinkie did look like she was going to cry. She was horrified about eating Rainbow's cake, but also really overwhelmed and saddened to the point of crying. "N-No! And...and...I would NEVER sell a cake that was made by Dashie!" Pinkamena's smirk vanished to bring a deep frown. Yet, the smirk came back. "Heehee.......We didn't sell the Cupcakes! We ATE them!......" Pinkie shuddered at the thought of eating it. "W-Wait....what do you mean WE?" She stepped back, afraid of the answer. "Wait....you didn't know?" Pinkamena's smirk just widend. She spoke higher. "You ARE me! That's how I even got ahold of you! It's from mom you know.....She made cupcakes out of our cousins.....That's why we never knew them!" Slowly, she walked toward Pinkie. "A ponys meat is the sweetest of all meats.....that's why most of us are cannibals....! That's why they eat OUR cupcakes!" Pinkie stepped back, only to meet a wall. Trying to find another way out, she found that the only ways lead to another wall. It was now a closed in space. Pinkamena stepped forward again. "Why don't I try a taste of ourselves. Don't worry.....it'll only sting a little.....like a shot!" Pinkie then noticed the only way to save herself was to fight her way out. "Oh, and we'll try Twi later......" Pinkie couldn't hold in anymore anger. She had to let it out. Hard and fast, Pinkie bucked at Pinkamena trying to push her down. Pinkamena was still walking towards her. After a few more hits, Pinkie saw that the demon's knees were trembling. Just one more hit and Pinkamena would be down. CRACK! It sounded as if Pinkie had broken her demon side's knees. When she went to look, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her knees. She looked at the ground. There Pinkamena was. Sharp bloodied teeth showing as her body lay trembling on the ground. Blood was everywhere. Covering both their knees, warm trickles went down to their legs and hooves. Pinkamena gasped for a little air. "You....hurt me......you hurt yourself......" She coughed a little from the fall as it broke her left shoulder as well. Pinkamena's right arm started to crawl her over to Pinkie. "Pinkie...." The thing whispered, cripled as a corpse. "Pinkie.......Pinkie....Pinkie....." Soon it lingered over Pinkie's bloodied body as she shivered in fear. Twilight leaned over Pinkie as she was laying on the ground. "PINKIE!" Pinkie's eyes shot open. Was it only a dream? Why did her knees still hurt. Twilight looked frightened as if she heard her brother had died. "Oh thank Celestia you're ok! I thought you were still passed out! I-I heard a bang then when I came up, you were on the ground, Shaking! You're knees look like they are broken! So as your shoulder! Are you alright?" > Confession > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie could hardly talk, her screams had drowned out her voice. "T.......Tw....i......" Coughs kept on interrupting her, the dryness in her throat made her to keep on coughing even after that. Twilight was way more worried than Pinkie. She didn't want her friend to have a choking fit. "Okay Pinkie, stay here. I'll go get you some water to moisten that throat again." Soon after, Twilight teleported herself to the kitchen. The skinny, hurt, earthpony felt as if her leg was being torn from her body. Her mind told her not to panic, since Twilight was around she would be ok. But, she also had to protect Twilight from Pinkamena. Soon after, Twilight appeared in the room, levitating a glass of ice cold water. "I'm back. Are you ok? Here, drink up." Twilight brought the drink to Pinkie's lips so she could talk and be fine. In fast, deep gulps, Pinkie drank the whole cup of water. She had Twilight lower the glass. "Tw-Twilight......." She took a deep breath of fresh air. "Twilight! You have to leave this house! With Spike! You......can't trust me anymore......" She shouted it all at once. Twilight, shocked from the sudden outburst, tried to calm Pinkie down. "Why can't I trust you anymore? What happened?" "I KILLED DASHIE!" She wept, her tears like waterfalls streaming down rejectedly. She dissaproved of herself. She hated what she had become. Stepping back, Twilight kept asking herself, 'Why?'. She couldn't beleive Pinkie could do such a thing. Rainbowdash and Pinkie were best friends. "......Why Pinkie.....?" She quietly muttered under her breath. Then, after she finally looked at Pinkie again she asked. "Why did you do it?" Pinkie glared at her hooves. She didn't want to tell 'how' or 'why'. But, she insisted on doing it anyway. She decided to tell it strait out. "I was possesed...by a demonic ghoul......her name......is Pinkamena......" Grudgingly, she cursed under her breath, then started again. "She's a soul of the devil, she's a cannibal...and she wants everyone to join in with her..." Pinkie gulped. "You've eaten...Dash....and.....Soarin.....I didn't want to sell ponies as cakes but....like I said, I was controlled." She stopped. Then started again. "Poor Scoots......she ate Dash too.....right after the funeral....I......" She was ready to tell her. "Pinkamena has aimed you as her next target. So, that you can't send her back to the Underworld. We have to get you out. Lock me in. I'd rather starve to death than have any of my PFF's die...You HAVE to go!" Twilight was concerned about her friend still. "I won't go. Not with this demon inside you. If we want to get it out, we need Christianity......we need magic." > Sacrification > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie looked over to Twilight thoughtfully yet worriedly. "B-But how?......How would we be able to do it?" She tried to get up, her legs still soaring with pain. "We need to go to the Ponyville Church. Just a house away." Twilight said quickly and calmly. "I'll teleport us, since you can't walk...." Her horn started to spark. Then a whole burst of magic appeared around them, carrying them to the Ponyville Church. Once they got there it hovered them a foot above the ground, so they fell that foot, well, Twilight did. But got up in time to catch Pinkie. "Are you okay?" Twilight looked down at her pink, crippled friend. Pinkie forced a weak smile upon her face. "Ok, we better get started..." Quickly, she levatated a book from the other side of the room, on the cover it said, 'Presents To Celestia'. Flipping through the book, checking the pages thoroughly. Wondering what Twilight was reading, Pinkie glanced around the building, checking out what things looked like. She had never been to the church, she was always too busy with Sugar Cube Corner. The walls were crystallized with predictions from the 'Bible: A History Of Faith' book. For example, there was one about Luna being brought back from the moon. The place sort of freaked Pinkie out a bit, especially the huge fountain that's in the center of the room. "Aha!" Twilight shouted as she found the correct page. "I found it! Now we can begin!" Frantically, Twilight assembled the tools needed for her plan. Candles and a...oxygen mask and tank? "Umm, Twilight, what exactly is your plan?" Pinkie was afraid to ask but did anyway. "A Sacrification" Her hoof pointed to a paragraph in her book for Pinkie to read and so she did: 'For a pony to withdraw from a posessed trance, the pony or somepony close to them, shall reveal the end of fate to their lives in the fountain.' A gasp echoed in the room from the pink pony, she knew what Twilight's thoughts were...Twilight herself would be the sacrifice. "No.." Pinkie whispered, her voice rose to a cry. "No! You Can't Do This! I should be the sacrifice! Don't....do.....it...." Her voice went back to a whisper, then she just was silent. Her head drooped, her arms trying to slowly crawl towards Twilight. The purple unicorn was surprised from the sudden silence, usually Pinkie would still be crying. Soon, Pinkie's head looked back up at Twilight, except, this time it was different. Instead of Pinkie's soft, crystal blue eyes they were a piercing, glowing red. The mane of her friend was a dark, greyish magenta. A small laugh escaped from her. Which turned into a loud insane laugh which echoed throughout the church. "So..we finally meet....Twilight...Sparkle..." Pinkie's voice was deep and killer. "Pinkie's told me oh so much about you..." At the first sound of the voice, Twilight knew it wasn't Pinkie. "Who are you and what have you done with the real Pinkie..." Another laugh escaped from the pink demon. "You don't know me? Why, I thought Pinkie would've told you all about me...I'm Pinka-" "Mena. Yeah, Pinkie has told about you..you little demon from hell.." Twilight clenched her fists. "Why thank you. Now, I know we've only known for a short time but, it's time for you to go..." Pinkamena punched the ground and the fountain seemed to move right behind her. The pure blue water turned to an acidic green color. Like it would've for the sacrification. "You certainly know NOTHING about magic!" Twilight managed to laugh. "If you kill me, you'll be gone forever, so..." She picked up a holy sword from behind her, filled with holy water. "Die Lucious, son of Satan." Pinkamena's face was flushed, she hadn't thought this through. "Oh Crap." Is all it could say before it was sliced in half, black blood now covered the sword. "Do you know nothing about logic?" The thing laughed. "If you hurt me, you hurt Pinkie!" A mischeivous smile spread across her face. "Not for long.." Her horn glew, and the fountain dissapeared under the ground, then reappeared under Pinkamena. "Double Crap." Is all it could say while screaming as it fell into the green abyss. Laughing, Twilight watched the thing dissapear. She knew she hadn't really distroyed Pinkie forever, she would be back in a few minutes. > I'm Back > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After five minutes, Twilight sat on the concrete floor, waiting. A gurgling sound came from the ground. "Finally!" Twilight sighed as she stood up. The ground burst, and the acidic green water changed back to the pure blue sight. Softly, a distant scream could be heard. It was Pinkie. Twilight was eager when the part of the ground gave way and out burst a poofy-maned pink pony. "TWWWIIIIILIGHT!!!" Pinkie screamed as she fell to the ground, unbroken and not crippled. Quickly, Twilight helped Pinkie up, checking to see if she was alright. "Are you ok?!" Pinkie brushed Twilight off. "I'm alright silly! And I crave a cupcake!" Her original state was back. A quick hug wrapped around Pinkie. "Oh Pinkie! I'm glad you're ok!" "Well, duh! Of course I'm ok! Why wouldn't I be ok? Did you take some crazy pills or something?!" Twilight helped Pinkie stand up, then they started for the door. "Why are we in here anyway?" Pinkie asked, like she had deja-vu. "Hey Pinkie. How 'bout we go get a few cupcakes from Sugar Cube Corner?" The purple unicoirn swayed her hair as she felt the outside breeze. Pinkie hopped excitedly. "Yes! Yes! YEEESSS!!" Twilight laughed at how excited Pinkie was. It was all over at last. Or so she thought.....
