//------------------------------// // News // Story: Paranormal Ponies // by opuscon789 //------------------------------// Twilight and Rainbow are still thinking about what Jester wants. Jester floated there waiting for a answer. “Well… we can help you. It’s just going to be harder than you think,” Rainbow smiled. “What’s wrong?” Jester asked. “Well you see that Rainbow and I just got back from the underworld,” Twilight admitted. “So… what?” Jester said. “Well we were only there to actually take a soul from him so I don’t think that he will be pleasant to see us at all,” Rainbow said. “But please. I need your help. He is the only pony to go to. He is the leader of the underworld,” Jester started to cry. “Fine, we will try to talk to him,” Rainbow huffed. Jester smiled again. “Thanks for helping me,” Jester said gladly. “Yeah, try not to get in are way,” Rainbow stared at her. Jester nodded. Twilight went through the wall with the others following. There were still sleeping ghost on the floor of the lobby. Jester flew over them and whispered, “This way.” Twilight does the same thing Jester did. Not a pony woke up. “Come on Rainbow Dash.” Rainbow Dash zoomed passed the ghost. One of the spirits woke up. “What the Hay!” “Please I’m sorry. I won’t bother you again,” Rainbow promised, but the ghost didn’t listen to her. “Hey boys we have something to beat on!” The ghost yelled at the other ghost. They all wake up. They surround her. “Twilight, you probably don’t want to see this,” Jester pulled Twilight out of building. The entire ghost herd starts beating on Rainbow Dash. She tried to fight back but there were too many ghosts. Twilight wanted to help but Jester didn't allow her. Rainbow Dash tried to escape through the floor. The ghost follows her into the ground. She went around in circles to try and lose them. She did turn after turn. Soon the ghost got confused and gave up. Rainbow flew out of the ground right next to Twilight. Twilight went up to her, “Are you ok?” Rainbow was breathing so fast that she almost fainted. She nodes, “Yeah.” “Well let’s get out of here or the ghost will find you again,” Twilight grabbed Rainbow’s hoof and flew into the distance. Jester followed behind them. It was clear to them that the night was about to end and a new day was going to begin. Twilight landed back at the library. They soon find themselves in the basement. Twilight gets out the book and puts it on the stain. “We need to try in figure out a way to actually negotiate with Grim without stealing somepony’s soul.” Jester points out something, “I know that Grim is not a nice negotiator. He always wins and gets his way. I don’t know any spirit that ever won against him.” Rainbow showed her hoof, “Maybe we can have him taste the raft of these hoofs, my personal weapon of awesomeness.” “Grim is more powerful than you think. He can do magic and fly. Plus, if you die as a ghost, you’re gone forever, or what you ponies call it “Put to Rest”,” Jester said. “Then how are we going to defeat him?” Rainbow asked. Twilight looks back at the book of spirits. When Twilight went up to the book, the book flipped pages and turned to the right page. Twilight looked at the page and read through it. Spirit’s Rest Spell: This spell is a spell that no pony knows if it exists or not. If it did then the ghost population would be low or gone. This spell’s purpose is to put spirits to rest for an eternity. The only ponies that are supposed to learn this spell are the gateway ponies. Twilight gets an idea, “This spell is our secret weapon. What we do is try to do the spell at the beginning of the fight and then we put Grim to rest. “That has never been attempted before. Maybe because no pony knows this spell,” Jester thought out load. “Well let’s test it out on Grim, only if negotiating doesn’t work,” Twilight said. Twilight and Rainbow turn back into ponies. Jester smiled, “I guess you ponies are the gateway ponies,” Spike barges into the basement. “Twilight, big news, two of the richest fillies in town are now dead.” “Do you mean Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon?” Rainbow asked. “Yes, I’m not kidding, there dead. And in other news Applejack is alive again!” Spike reported. “Wow!” Twilight acted like she was surprised. “Amazing and tragic at the same time,” Spike made a sad face. “Twilight, I have a feeling that we need to find out what happen to them,” Rainbow suggested. “Yeah, I want to find out what happened,” Twilight said. Jester just floated in place watching what was happening. Rainbow trotted up to Jester. “Come with us please.” She agreed. Later that day Twilight, Rainbow and Jester arrive at Diamond Tiara’s mansion outside of Ponyville. They talk to both of their families. Both are very heartbroken of what happened. “She died so young. I just want to say goodbye one last time if I had the chance,” Filthy Rich cried. “I’m sorry for your lost,” Twilight tried to confer him. Filthy Rich put his head on Twilight shoulder. Rainbow Dash was speaking to Applejack after she woke up. “I’m so happy that your alive and well Applejack,” Rainbow hugged her. “I don’t know but I ant going to stare death in the face again,” Applejack said. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle come up behind Applejack. Apple Bloom was surprised to see her sister again. She hugged her. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look at the mansion. “What happen here?” Scootaloo asked. “Well, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have died last night,” Rainbow told her. “Really! This is the Cutie Mark Crusaders best day ever! When we get back to the tree house we are going to PARTY!” Sweetie Belle gets excited. “DID SOMEPONY SAY PARTY?!” Pinkie appeared right next to them. “That’s not nice to do that, that’s really mean,” Twilight looked at them seriously. “Were sorry about that,” The CMC said. “Don’t do that again,” Applejack said. Everypony except Pinkie Pie left. “What about the party?!” Pinkie asked.
