//------------------------------// // Revival and Imprisonment // Story: Pinkamena's Awakening // by Kingsley //------------------------------// Chapter 4: Revival and Imprisonment "Ahhhhhh! It sure does feel good to finally be free of that idiot's mind!" Pinkamena said, stretching her body. "Now I can finally use my strength to its' fullest potential and have some fun here..." Pinkamena continued. "Hey! What did you do with our friend Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Yea what happened to her! Just who are you anyway!?" Applejack questioned. "Weren't you listening to her before her final words? Or did you just ignore it because of how ridiculous it sounds?" Pinkamena said. "Your her split personality." Twilight said. "Although it doesn't make any sense... The proof is staring me right in the face, so I can't really deny it." "Hmph, At least there was someone with a brain in your little group of friends here." Pinkamena snickered. "But still, how is it that Pinkie had such a... complex personality, that it was able to develop a mind of its' own?" Twilight asked. "We all have sides of us that we don't reveal to our friends or to public, but we all experience happiness, anger, sadness, and other emotions regularly correct?" Pinkamena said. "Pinkie Pie was... different however. She repressed all forms of discomfort subconsciously, which is why she was almost happy 24/7, and I say almost because she did show signs of these negative emotions at points before." Pinkamena continued. "Like when your friend Fluttershy there tried to become assertive, but took it too far and ended up hurting Pinkie and Rarity, or when Applejack broke her... Pinkie promise? However these were very minimal, so it barely had an impact on her personality." Pinkamena explained. "After years of constantly repressing these emotions, it gets to a certain point where it all just builds up over time to one point... and I was that point in her mind." Pinkamena said. Twilight stood there intrigued, trying to comprehend what Pinkamena has just told her, while all of the others were just dumbfounded. "Alright alright, enough with all your fancy, shmancy big words! I can see clear as day that you ain't our friend and that's all I gotta know at this point!" Applejack said. "Yea! I'm with Applejack on this one! Give us back our friend before I have to make you!" Rainbow Dash said. "I agree, I can not stand by and simply watch as you do what you want with Pinkie's body!" Rarity said. "That's right! When it comes down to my friends, I won't forgive you if you hurt them!" Fluttershy said. "My friends are right, you may be a lost part of Pinkie Pie, but what your doing is unforgivable! Now give us back our friend this instant!" Twilight said. Pinkamena laughed quietly to herself. "And if I don't?" Pinkemena said. "Then I guess we'll have to do this the hard way!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh? You would use force hm? This is still your friends' body might I remind you, would you really take it upon yourselves to injure her?" Pinkamena said. "That may be Pinkie's body, but she isn't the one in control at the moment, and we'll do whatever it takes to get her back!" Twilight said. "Hmph, if that's your decision then fine, let's have some fun shall we?" Pinkamena said. Pinkamena swung her hoof in the air and a wave of darkness started to surround her from the bottom up, swirling upwards until she was encased in it. After a few seconds, the darkness dissipated and Pinkamena was wearing a black outfit with red streaks going through it and a black-like aura emitting from her body. "Shall we begin?" Pinkamena said. Twilight and the others were frightened by the immense power they saw she controlled. But all they cared about was rescuing their friend at this point. "You think that any of that scares me? Pfft, think again!" Rainbow Dash said. "Then prove it if your so sure of yourself." Pinkamena said. Rainbow Dash, being easily provoked, charged right towards Pinkamena at full speed. "Rainbow Dash! Wai-" Twilight yelled. "You always were too reckless Rainbow Dash." Pinkamena said. Pinkamena evaded Rainbow Dash's tackle with ease, turned around and touched Rainbow on her chest. "Huh?" Rainbow Dash said, confused. A second after the touch, a sonic wave emitted from Pinkamena's hoof and Rainbow Dash was sent flying into the wall at incredible speeds, coughing up blood at the impact. "Rainbow Dash!" Her friends screamed. Rainbow fell to the floor, unable to move anymore. "Wow... *Cough* I didn't expect that *Cough* to happen." Rainbow Dash said, until the pain was too much and passed out. "Okay... Now you've done it! You insane mare!" Applejack declared. "Applejack! Wait! No!" Twilight cried, but to no avail. Applejack charged towards Pinkamena and bucked her right in the face as hard as she could. "Is that all you can do?" Pinkamena said, as if nothing had even happened. "Hmph, how disappointing." Pinkamena said. Pinkamena put her hooves around Applejack's head and discharged a large amount of electricity, Applejack screamed.The insane mare's blood-red electricity made quick work of it. Pinkamena pulled her hooves back when she was done, and Applejack fell to the floor, unconscious. "Is this really all the power you girls have?" Pinkamena said. "I'm getting quite bored, this isn't even entertaining in the slightest." Pinkamena said, who vanished in an instant after that last comment. "Wh-What the!? Where did she go?" Twilight said. Pinkamena reappeared next to Rarity, and touched her on the forehead. Rarity jumped back out of fear from what she will do. "That's it? A little poke?" Rarity said. "That's all I need to take care of weaklings like you." Pinkamena said. Rarity started to feel an intense ringing sound in her head, which got louder and more unbearable every second. "Aughhh! This ringing! W-What is it! It's killing me!" Rarity screamed. "That's the idea..." Pinkamena said. The ringing got so loud until... it stopped, but Rarity had already suffered from its' effects for too long, and fell down, unable to move any longer. "This is utterly disappointing, I would've at least hoped you five would put up some kind of a challenge." Pinkamena said. "I guess I gave you girls too much credit..." Pinkamena snickered. Twilight stood there terrified, two of her best friends knocked unconscious by this... neglected side of Pinkie. "Fluttershy... Please don't charge out there, w-we don't stand a chance against Pinkamena at the moment. The amount of power she has is unimaginable." Twilight said quietly. "F-Fluttershy? Did you hear m-" Twilight said. Twilight turned around to look at Fluttershy, but she was already in Pinkamena's grip, trapped in her choke hold. "What! B-But how!? You were just over th-" Twilight said. "You clearly haven't gotten a full grasp on my power yet, have you Twilight?" Pinkamena said, dropping Fluttershy to the ground, gasping for air. "Perhaps you don't understand the severity of the situation you are in right now." Pinkamena said. "Here, let me show you what I intend to do with your future." Pinkamena said. Pinkamena walked up to Twilight and touched her forehead. A split second afterwards, Twilight saw a vision of Ponyville burning, Canterlot in ruin, Celestia and Luna fallen. Nothing but chaos and havoc raining down upon everyone. "N-NOO! NO YOU CAN'T DO THI-" "And that's only the beginning..." Pinkamena said. With that last comment, Pinkamena picked Twilight up, threw her upwards, and with her incredible speed, jumped up and punched Twilight right in the stomach, sending her flying downwards into the floor and coughing up blood on impact. Twilight, using every ounce of willpower she had just trying to stay conscious, looked at Pinkamena. "I guess I was a fool for thinking you five could ever put up a decent fight, Hmph my mistake." Pinkamena said. "And for the fact I didn't deliver any fatal blows... consider that my little parting gift." Pinkamena snickered. "Goodbye Twilight... I think we'll see each other again soon..." Pinkamena said, engulfing herself in a veil of darkness, and vanished. ... ... ... "P-Pinkie..." Twilight said hoarsely. "P-Pinkie Pie..." Twilight said, before she passed out. A few hours after the Fight... "Twil..." "Twilight..." "Twilight!" "Huh... Wha-What happened... Spike?" Twilight said, still dazed. "Are you guys okay? When I heard Pinkamena leave, I thought of the worst care scenario of what could've happened to you guys! Thank goodness you're all alright." Spike said gleefully. "Ughh... yea were all okay I think, just a little beaten up is all." Twilight said. Twilight looked back to see all of her friends in one piece, awake and sitting with ice packs and bandages. "Man... that Pinkamena sure can pack a punch..." Rainbow Dash said. "Ah don't think she was even trying to be honest." Applejack said. "She was unbelievably powerful, Aughh! I can still hear that annoying ringing sound..." Rarity said. "I don't even know what happened... I was too scared to understand what was happening..." Fluttershy said. They all sat there conversing, wondering if there was anything they could do at this point to stop Pinkamena. "That reminds me." Twilight said. "Where were you this whole time Spike?" Twilight asked. "Oh heh, um funny story you know, after I saw Pinkamena change her appearance. I thought it'd be a good idea to well you know... hide? hehe..." Spike said nervously. "Ugh... thanks Spike, I knew we could count on you." Twilight said. "I'm sorry guys, but could I do? Even if i did help, I doubt it would do anything." Spike said. "You're probably right Spike, we were no match for Pinkamena in anyway... I had no idea she was that strong." Twilight said. "Well... what do we do now?" Rarity asked. "Let's just try to rest for now, we've all taken quite a beating and there'd be no sense in going after her when there's absolutely nothing we can do to even stop her..." Twilight said. Everyone agreed and stayed at Twilight's Library for a while in order to recover. After the Fight, Pinkamena's Point of View... After Pinkamena had vanished from Twilight's Library, she reappeared outside, on the outskirts of Ponyville. "Well... that was sure a waste of time, I hope they've realized I wasn't even trying when they wake up..." Pinkamena said. "Hmmm." Pinkamena thought. "Now that I'm free, I think I'll finally start putting my plan into action, Hehehehe..." Pinkamena said. "But I can't do it alone... well I could, put it would take much too long and I don't have the patience at the moment." Pinkamena said. "So I'll need to find someone of decent strength to aid me in my plans." Pinkamena said. "Ah! Yes, I remember Pinkie Pie and her friends defeating one by the name of Discord, a Draconiquis to be precise."Pinkamena said. "It shouldn't be too hard to free him from his imprisonment." "Knowing these fools, they probably just put him up as a garden decoration again. So it shouldn't be hard at all to get to where he is." Pinkamena said. "Well, no time to lose, guess I'm heading to the Canterlot Sculpture Garden." Pinkamena said, and trotted towards Canterlot. Shortly after Pinkamena's revival, Pinkie Pie's Imprisonment... With Pinkie Pie being fully consumed by Pinkamena, Pinkie loses control and finds herself in a place all too familiar... "Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Pinkie yelled, falling down into the void. With Pinkie's descent, two chains came flying at her, each one wrapping itself around one of her front hooves. "W-What's happening!?" Pinkie said, terrified. Just as she was about to hit what seemed to be the ground, a second wave of chains came flying at her, only this time there were much more, all wrapping themselves around Pinkie's body, completely covering her from the waist down... and with that she was trapped. Suspended in the air with chains wrapped around her body and two separate ones holding her two front hooves up. "T-This..." Pinkie said drearily. "This is... where Pinkamena was... for all those years huh?" Pinkie said sorrily. "Am I?... going to be here for the rest of my life?..." Pinkie said. "I hope not... I don't see how anyone could stand being in a place like this... for so long too." Pinkie said. "I guess... I can't blame her for turning out how she did... anypony would go insane from a place like this..." Pinkie said. Pinkie Pie floated there for a while, in complete darkness, thinking... what could she possibly do. "Pinkamena said she watched my entire life up to this point while she was trapped here... does that mean I'll be able to see hers'? Now that she's the one in control?" Pinkie questioned. After a while of floating in her suspended prison, Pinkie started to see visions of what Pinkamena was seeing... what she was doing. "...!" "My... My friends! No! NO WHAT'S SHE DOING!" Pinkie screamed, her face flushed red with anger. "Dang it! No this is terrible... let me out of here! LET ME OUT OF HERE! PINKAMENA!" Pinkie yelled. "LET ME OUT OF HERE! Pinkamena!" Pinkie yelled out. "Please... let me out of here... I can't take this..." "It's not like she can hear me though... it wasn't until she broke out of this floatly thingy that I could hear her..." Pinkie said. "I guess... I'll just have to sit here... and hope for the best..." Pinkie said. "For my friends... for everyone..."
