Consciousness began to take over Windy Breeze, who was laying and drooling on her couch. She let out a moan and opened her eyes.
The first thing she seen in her eye vision is the ceiling. It was strange since she laid on her back, not on her stomach, she also felt the heat when she wear her Wonderbolt uniform.
Wait a minute.
She move her hooves infront of her eye vision. She was wearing her flight suit! She didn't remember wearing it at night. She went into sitting position.
“Ah!” she exclaimed when her Wonderbolt flight goggles suddenly fell on her eye. She lifted her goggles back to her forehead out of confusion “What in the hay is going on today? Why am I wearing my uniform?” she looked down at her body and surprised to see not only her uniform and goggles was back but also the pendant Shadow Trail gave her.
Wait, the previous day, waking up, eating blueberry pie, showering, wearing her uniform, getting yelled by Spitfire, crash with Soarin, talk to Misty Fly about Hearth's warming, given a gift by Misty, Surprise, Spitfire, Soarin' and Rainbow Dash, return home while lunchtime, given wave of gifts Shadow Trail, and Twilight Sparkle, Writer Rhyme, and Nightglider, go back to the Wonderbolts Academy, practice and so on, go back to Ponyville, receiving another gift from Shadow and Moonlight Spell, and Writer staying in her bed-
“That stallion must be responsible for this” she mumbled to herself. Going to her bedroom where she last seen him, she open the door and prepare to chastise him in a calm way.
To her surprise, he wasn't there.
Instead of the stallion, there are stains of blood coating the blanket, the pillow and the floor. Now, Windy's attempt to calm herself ultimately failed and she went into a panic. Her breathing began to become unstable as well as her heartbeat, her eyes turn into pinpricks as she glance around her.
“Writer!?” she called out for the stallion “Where are you!?” only silence reign the entire house, which soon was freed by the loud yells coming out of the pegasus's mouth “I'm not joking around, Writer Rhyme, come out now at once!”
Once again, only silence answered to her.
She bust through her bedroom door, opening it but not causing any damage and began glancing around her, calling out for her missing friend.
As she was about to into the bathroom, she heard something crashing from the first floor, she knew the one who made this wasn't Writer Rhyme, he wasn't that too clumsy to break a bunch of items in one wrong move, it's also impossible that it could be Stormlight, the mare despite in the clumsy category she wasn't here and the latter lived in the other side of the town.
Windy decided to cautiously go walk down the stairs. Lily would be impressed for her self-control to even utter a word, since she's a Wonderbolt, she had little EUP experience and also has stealth skills.
Once she enter the living room, instead of finding it clean and tidy, it was all a mess as if a tornado pass by. Picture frames and other furnitures were tossed in random places while the couch where she used to sleep for one day was overturned and had two long claw marks, there was also a few blood everywhere in the messed up living room.
She heard breaking, this time from the kitchen. She silently walk silently to the open entrance of the kitchen, trying to not make any noise.
As soon as she reached the door, she decided on checking who wa she the intruder and probably apprehend them and interrogate them and bring them to Princess Twilight Sparkle. Now, time to see who is this mysterious intruder she thought and she peeked.
What she she was wasn't a pony or any creature she had seen in her entirely life, she couldn't describe the appearance of this abomination, but as far as the naked eye can tell, it resembles a manta ray, she had seen those animals at the Sea Wonder book and is mentioned by Sea Swirl.
But more than a manta ray, something went into her mind.
“Headless bat”
And it came all crushing down at her. The reason why Writer Rhyme came to her house was because of this creature who had somehow created a hole in his house, this was the creature he was talking about and most important of all...
It's very disgusting and so grotesque in appearance.
She was glad it was facing away from her, looking at the fridge which was the only thing left untouched inside her kitchen. Despite what the instructions the EUPs, The Wonderbolts, and any other organizations to told them what to do when the intruder turns out to be one of the enemies of Equestria, she decided to do what they instructed the defenseless has to do: get out of the house.
However, she hadn't notice a fork nearby, and she accidentally stepped on it, forcing her to scream in pain when it peirced through her uniform and through her hard texture of her hoof of her left hindleg. She glance down at her back then at where the abomination is, realizing her mistake.
She quickly turn tail and ran for the front door, she heard her fridge making contact with the floor and the abomination making odd sounds as it hit something, maybe the table behind it? She gasped in terror when she saw the only exit was blocked by several furnitures.
“Luna, no!” she yelled. She immediately gallop for the stairs. She felt something stabbed her left hindleg. She turn around and saw the abomination has stabbed its blade through her hoof and jutting out of the other side. She screamed mostly in terror and bucked the the abomination with her hindlegs and proceed to ran into her bedroom. She immediately block the door using the cabinet. She jumped in surprise and terror as she heard screeching from the other side and the sound of claw against wood. She backs away from the barricaded door.
What's going on? Why is that creature inside my house? What does it want? Why does it want to KILL ME!?” her mind was full of questions Did that thing did something to my friend? Is my friend d- her thoughts are interrupted by the sound of wood being smashed and being crashed. She shrieked but stayed in place maybe the floor under the creature gave out. Now, I have to find my way out of this room she glanced around her and finally noticed the window in the right wall. She turn tail and began to trot towards it “How didn't i notice th- AHH!”
However, she was once again interrupted when she felt a foreign thing went through the layer of her uniform and inside her private parts, then peircing some of her internal organs. The pain was so intense that she couldn't spread her wings and her mouth hung away, to which is why she was still able to let out a sultry moan. Soon, someone ride her back and stabbed her forehead, narrowly avoiding her flight goggles. Windy realized that the creature somehow broke the ceiling and used it as a passage to go to the bedroom.
The monster soon decided to leave her alone as she began to feel something changing inside her body. She began to hear voices as well.
“Look, the vile creature is now turning!
“It's a new follower, and we don't call followers a vile creature, you idiot”
“Stop fighting, brothers!”
“We'll welcome you, Windy Breeze, the new follower of the marker, your time has come to do what should be done: Purify your world for our new brother to rise”
“So much for the introduction. That Clarke human and Carver human is at Tau Volant is. Why are we even here?”
“How do we even know her?”
Windy began to grimace as her wings began to change first. Her feathers began to fell out quickly as the bones began to turn into blades, one her forelegs was lifted as it was as it's bones began to change as well as the flesh. Soon she developed a blade and her uniform concealing the forelegs are torn, revealing the no longer blue legs as the skin disappear and flesh began to morph into something, her jaw began to remove itself from her mouth, morphing into two mandibles, her stomach was torn as well as the uniform, exposing her internal organs and two new appandeges, her eyes for some reason was spared but only have its color change from white sclera and her blue pupils turn into crimson red, her newly formed blade was moved upwards. Once the mutilation was complete, she look like as she came out of a really horrible nightmare, and if she didn't have the mutilation, she would look like an emaciated pony, as her spine was visible despite the tattered remains of her uniform. The pendant which she wore the whole time glowed more bright.
Not only Windy Breeze was affected by the transformation but also the sky and weather. Dark clouds began to gather around and the sky turn red above Ponyville, The Everfree Forest, Cloudsdale, The Wonderbolts Academy, and Canterlot.
Princess Twilight Sparkle, who just witnessed the sky being corrupted called her number one assistant, Spike the baby dragon, who has developed his own dragon wings “Spike, get a paper and a quill, we need to tell the princesses about this”
Back at Windy's house, the floor which was used to where the fridge previously stood on was open, revealing a bruised terrified unicorn stallion.
“W-Windy?”
He had somehow found out Windy had a secret basement and hid inside when he saw the creature that had broke inside his house. His eyes grew wide when he saw the state of kitchen. He quickly went to the living room to see its state the same as the kitchen but there is no sign of the pegasus. He soon decided to go upstairs he saw the ceiling above the front door was broken, he though using his own magic at himself to go there but decided not to. He went for the door, he noticed it was damaged. He open the door to reveal.
A cabinet?
He used his magic to move the cabinet aside, only to reveal something that is pure nightmare fuel.
Infront of him is the limp body of Windy Breeze, or what used to be her. Her forelegs was gone and was replaced by an strange flesh appandeges with a blade, a new forelegs can be seen jutting out of her stomach, her wings was spread, revealing wicked sharp blades, her lower jaw was by the same thing, she even looks very malnourished and most of her flight suit was gone, the necklace she wore was miraculously untouched. Despite the changes, it didn't stop him to go and hug his friend he assumed is dead.
“No, no, no, no, this can't be happening!” he sobbed bitterly as he hug Windy's mutilated 'corpse' “Oh, Celestia, why would a pony like you had to deserve this!? Why, WHY!?”
As if an answer to his 'questions', the corpse roared at him.
