This day Dusk Shine has passed a new test of Princess Celestia. For his examination he must go to a place which is located towards the snowy mountain, the Crystal Empire.
"No way Moony!"
"But big brother I want to go too."
"Eclipse do not forget that when the temperature is low you go into hibernation." He explains the reason why Moony should not accompany him.
"OK…"
Disappointed Éclipse goes on her way to join the Crusaders club. She passes the stand of the mysterious saleswoman who gave her the artifact of Rouge, Sandhy and Saphir.
"You are the mysterious salesgirl who gave me the three magic items." Eclipse recognized.
"Yes, it's me and my name is Ms. Magic Tool. I have two new amulets for you. That of Darkness and Wilderness."
She gives the purple filly a two amulets that has drawings on it. The first has a bat and the other a Timberwolf's head that screams at the full moon.
Both artifacts are absorbed by the ear of Moony. She gets the power of darkness and that of the wild beast.
"Thank you Ms. Magic Tool."
"You're welcome, my little girl, and now I've had to ... Smoke bomb !!"
She throws a bullet that causes smoke that blinds the ponies around and Eclipse.
The smoke dissipates but the saleswoman did not have time to pack her goods in her wooden cart.
"…"
"Can you pretend I've already left, because I'd like to succeed in my mysterious outing."
"OK…"
The saleswoman finished and takes the road for the next city.
Frost / Pandora / Revia / Windy: Strange pony …
Moony continues her way to the Crusaders cabin, inside she hears her friends having a conversation with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
Diamond: I bet you are not brave for spending a day in the haunted house of Ponyville.
Scootaloo: we are brave!
Apple Bloom: Yeah!
Sweetie Belle: The proof we will also chase the polymorphic ghosts.
Silver Spoon: I can not wait to see your face scared.
The four fillies go to the abandoned house of the city, Scootaloo explains to Moony why the ponies consider them a haunted house.
"…"
Others accept the challenge and go inside. The two plagues are eager to see his flanks run out of the abandoned building.
Inside the Crusaders begin to explore. "I'm sure you ghosts and spirits do not exist."
The orange pegase filly says.Windy becomes visible in front of her.
"And I do not count as a ghost?"
"I forgot Eclipse has ghosts with her."
They check the first floor. The four Crusaders take different paths to succeed the challenge.
Sweetie Belle climbs to the second floor, Apple Bloom goes into the kitchen, Scootaloo in the bedroom and Moony in the attic.
They separate but they do not suspect that priority will manifest.
??? 1: Intruders?
??? 2: Hunt them out of our hiding place!
The creatures whose eyes shine in the dark, are surrounded by green flames and take on the appearance of scary monsters.
The Crusaders explore the rooms of the old house. Moony appeals to his new power.
"Wild Sauvage,hurle a la plein lune!" Son bout d'oreille prend la forme nature sauvage. La crinière mauve de Éclipse change de couleur pour devenir brun pâle.
The pieces of branches, leaves and stone gathers together to create a body.
Wild: Here I am! The most terrifying beast of Equestria. A Were Timberwolf!
"Hmm ... rather a wolf cub."
Wild: What ?! Impossible!
The wolf in wood this look through the window reflex to see that it is small.
"Maybe it's because of my level of magic?" She assures Wild.
Meanwhile in the kitchen Apple Bloom looks in the kitchen when suddenly she feels that she is not alone.
The creature uses its magic to create an illusion of the great fear of the yellow filly. She is hunted by demonic shadows.
AB runs to the inside of the kitchen. "Its ponies are easy to scare."
He suffered the great terror of Scootaloo, the little Pegasus suffers his greatest fear.
Elsewhere Sweetie Belle is being chased by an Ursa Minor. "Help!"
"Sweetie Belle? Quick, Wildy we have to help our friends!"
"How are our friends?" the Cub has never met others.
"Wild Fang, Fusion!" Moony and Wildy merged to form one.
The young white unicorn runs in his direction. Moon Wolf attacks the constellation bear monster with his claws.
"Ready for the second round Ursar ... where has he gone?"
"Eclipse thank you for saving me, this thing has come out of nowhere." The demon left to avoid confrontation and he went to help the other ghost.
"Nowhere? If this ghost can do that we must warn Scoot and AB." Moony suggests.
When they run to join the others, Wildy noticed that this ghost had the same scent of the purple unicorn and did not smell like a pony.
(…)
At the same time the other two are hunted by their great fear. Scoot and AB try to escape but the thing continued chasing them.
Scoot / AB: Help !!!
Moony: Night Fang, show your fangs!
Its artifacts take the form of a bat, a winged vampire beast turns into a shadow and gets absorbed by Eclipse.
Her mane turns black, bat's wings have grown and she has the eyes of a demoness.
"Echo Wave!" As for the nocturnal beast of the grotto, she utters an extremely strident scream that paralyzes the two monsters then Moony uses her karate for the stunned ones.
The wolf branch uses a liana to attach the two ghosts.
Eclipse Sparkle managed to defeat the ghosts of the place. "Now what do we do with them?"
"I suggest the exorcist with magic ... Moony your brother does not know a spell for his?"
The ghosts listen to the fillies' conversations and have no desire for a pony to use his magic on them.
"Please, do not bring a pony here."
"We are not the real ghosts!"
The four: What !?
Both are surrounded by green flames. Eclipse understood their true nature. Both were changeling drones.
"Who are you, and why are you here, a plan to take revenge on us?"
Krawler and Scorpion go between them.
"Me, it's Krawler and he's Scorpion.Plane? What plan are you talking about? And what a vengeance?"
"Canterlot's wedding?" Sweetie Belle tells them.
"Sorry we were not there that day when we have another mission? Also I do not think our queen wants to see us again after losing her daughter ..." Scorpion mention.
"Yes, we must find Princess Amaryllis, the daughter of our Queen. It's also because of us that she could not grow up next to her parents."
They did not realize that the princess they were looking for was ahead of them.
"I am Amaryllis."
"Impossible! The princess looks like her mother and father."
(Are you sure it's a good idea?) Frost questions.
(Yes.)
It resumes its original appearance. Krawler and Scorpion are surprised to see her.
The two polymorphous insects explain how they arrived at Ponyville, their mission to protect her and explain how they lost Eclipse when she was an egg.
Of course she forgives them. "Princess Amaryllis, why are you forgiven?"
"Because if I had grown up next to my mother, I would have become mean like her and I will be at her side during the Canterlot invasion, but I was adopted by a kind family who taught me a lot. 'friendship, love, never have I had the chance to meet Night Star ...'
After saying that.It will give her three conditions.First: call her Eclipse Sparkle, second: do not betray her trust and finally: do not drain any pony.
Krawl and Scorp accept.During this adventure, the Crusaders have not discovered their talent, Moony acquired two new power and two bodyguard, but she had to tell Dusk why two changeling went to live with them …
Dusk Shine and Spike returned from their trip to the Crystal Empire, but the purple stallion was disfigured.
"Dusk, what happened to your face?"
"You can add polar bears and penguins to the list of animals that hate me.Owlowiscious the first animal that has not attacked me since I arrived in this city."
Big brother Owlowiscious is next to Inferno on his perceives."
"Wait, what?" He realizes that the snow jaguar is holding and the white feline creature is attacking him.
"Grrrr !!!"
"Aieeeeee !!!!!"
