//------------------------------// // BONUS MISSION Part 2 // Story: Fluttershy's Mansion: Dark Moon // by Shazam 25 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash just finish tell everypony about the monster stairs and a thought pop in her mind. "Let me try that Ghost Seeker, & I'll show you a surprise!" Rainbow Dash stated before putting on the same vacuum pack that Fluttershy has always carried around. Then afterwards, the dare-devil flier did something, she popped out her squashed wings, and was making then flutter fast like a humming bird, and slowly, but surely...she was hovering off the ground. Everyone in the room was surprised & amazed, even by a few feet, Rainbow Dash was... "She's flying...with that vacuum thing that's suppose to cut off Fluttershy's use of wings!" Apple Bloom spoke off amazed by this, Rainbow has gone & done something that was impossible. "Told ya I could try flying & carry this thing on my back!" Rainbow bragged in seeing her awesomeness has gone up in what she's perform now, even the princesses were stun by such feats. "Yah, but won't it cut some speed off yah?" Applejack dryly pointed out a fact to her friend, & busting her ego too. "To true Applejack, even Rainbow Dash, who is very fast, some bits of her speed might be cut down." Rarity nods in seeing such a point that even Rainbow Dash will have most of her speed cut down a bit. "And you need to walk on your back hooves to operate it!" Pinkie Pie pointed out another fact to the puzzle. "Hmmm...this could be good research for when I need to update the Ghost Seeker for Pegasus Pony users." Ghost Studies rub his neck in seeing this new display with curious interest. "Alright, since tower is much difficult then manor home, this could be a good chance to learn something." He issued off in what they will do for the situation itself. "No sweat, send me in, I'll try to quickly get around, bag them, and be back before you know it." Rainbow Dash smiled to land on her back hooves to stand up, grab the vacuum to prepare herself to aim, suck, and catch. "But it took you longer then ten seconds against the last enemy?" Pinkie Pie pointed out a small fact in what she & Fluttershy tried to do before didn't take so quickly as expected. "That was then, this is now with minor annoyances." Rainbow Dash pointed off in protest over the small overall detail on her part. "Okay, princesses, let her go!" Ghost Studies issued for the princesses to begin the next step here to send in the next pony ghost hunter. "Wait! Don't forget the Ghost Looker!", Fluttershy said handing it to Rainbow Dash, "That way we know when you are done and Ghost Studies can show you the Ghosts are where on the map." Rainbow Dash nods and was send to Haunted Towers. Rainbow Dash appear near Haunted Towers and flip her wings to stop herself from hitting the ground, but still landed on her flank. "Ow!" Rainbow said before standing up and looker around. She grab Fluttershy's flashlight and shine it on the gate where some crows flew off. Rainbow took out the Ghost Looker and Ghost Studies appear. "Well Rainbow Dash, beside Fluttershy, You're the first pegasus to do some Ghost Haunting. Now I was able to down grade the Ghost Seeker 5000 so everything Fluttershy had was now back to one, but I did leave on the bar so you can use the yank attack like her." "Can you just leave the upgrades on?", Rainbow ask, "I mean it will make me 20% cooler." "This is your first time haunting ghost Rainbow, Ghost Studies what you to learn the basics." Applejack said recalling how she went through Gloomy Manor with the down grade Ghost Seeker. "Yes, Now Rainbow I mark the ghosts on your map, just remember to be on the ground to stun and catch ghost and to open doors." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off. Rainbow place the Ghost Looker in Fluttershy's saddlebags, that she also gave, and walk thought the gate. Rainbow already check her map and look between the two towers. "Which one has the Plant Nursery room again?" Rainbow ask herself. She flew over to the left tower and enter the Tower Lobby. Rainbow cross the wooden bridge and flew up to the door, skipping the stairs. It was kind of hard for her to gain a lot of air with the Ghost Seeker on her back, but she made it. She enter the door and found herself in the Plant Nursery room. Rainbow watch as a shovel floated towards her. She remember what Fluttershy told her and ready the flashlight. When the shovel move to show a Greenie, Rainbow smile and said, "Se ya green ball." And Bright Flash it. Rainbow landed and started to suck it up. When the bar was full, Rainbow yank back and caught the Greenie and the bits that fell. Another Greenie appear and disappear before Rainbow could stun it. Rainbow wave the flashlight around looking for the Green ghost. She soon spot the shovel floated again and waited until the Greenie show itself and Rainbow stun and suck it up. She notices that the lights were not on and look around the room before stepping in a purple puddle that was a Creeper. "HEY! Not cool!" Rainbow said inside the Creeper and shook herself. The Creeper was able to land some hits on her before breaking apart. Rainbow remember, even when apart it can still be trouble. She stun and caught them. The Lights turn on and Rainbow jump and flew in the air. "Oh ya! The Rainbow wins again!" She said before Ghost Studies voice appear, "Don't relax yet Rainbow! There more ghosts, this time two rooms! Check your map!" Rainbow pull out the Ghost Looker and saw the Water Works room and the Conservatory room had ghosts in it. Rainbow decide to head for the Water Works room first since it was closer. She walk out the door and floated down to the Tower Lobby. She first enter the Greenhouse to see it herself and saw lots of bits on the ground. She quickly collect them all and exit the Tower Lobby. Rainbow flew across the Courtyard and enter the door to Water Works. There she saw two Slammers. "Oh! hello there Dumb and Dumber." Rainbow taunt. The Slammers grew mad at the names and charge at Rainbow. Rainbow smile and stun them with the Bright Flash. As Rainbow suck it up, she remember that they had more health then Greenies and use the yank attack three times to caught both Slammers. She spotted another shovel heading for her and roll her eyes. Once the Greenie try to attack Rainbow, she stun it and caught it without a problem. She flew out to the courtyard and back to the Tower Lobby. She flew over the stairs and back into the Plant Nursery room. Rainbow flew up the plant to the Rumpus Room. She saw the Jack-in-the-boxes and the doll that was looking at her. Rainbow roll her eyes and went through the door to the Family Room. Rainbow flew across the room and enter the Solarium Room. She flew up the stairs and enter the West Bedroom. She went thought the other door and came to west hall. She walk over to the other door and came to the Crows Nest. She flew over the bridge as quickly as she can. The Ghost Seeker was making it harder then she thought. Still she made it over and enter the Conservatory Room. A shovel floated towards her and a Goober appear as well. "Whoa! Fluttershy and Rarity are right! You are big and ugly, ugly spirit." Rainbow said looking at the Goober while keeping a eye on the shovel. Rainbow stun the Greenie and caught it. The Goober didn't seem to notice the name Rainbow call it and kept spiting out goop. Rainbow stun it and try to suck it up. "Ahg! Fluttershy was right about another thing! You are heavy!" Rainbow said as she try to suck it in the Ghost Seeker. Rainbow was pull so close that it knock Rainbow away and she roll across the ground. Rainbow shook her head and stood up. "OK! Now you ask for it Slime ball!" Rainbow said and started to fly around the Goober. After a while Rainbow stop, it was hard making a rainbow tornado with the Ghost Seeker on her back, but the Goober was now dizzy. Rainbow stun it again and suck it up. She use the yank a few times and caught it. "Oh ya! Rainbow Dash: 2 Ghosts: 0!" She brag, until Ghost Studies voice came again. "AHG! More of them! And why are they back there?! Rainbow Dash move it!" he said. "Yeah!, yeah, I'm going, ruined my victory will ya." Rainbow said frowning. She went back out to Crows Nest and flew over to the West Hall. She walk into the West Bedroom and saw two Hiders, that hid under the beds. "Now I know why you are call 'Hiders'." Rainbow said rolling her eyes. Rainbow stun one and try to suck it up. Unknowing that the Hider drag her in a purple puddle. A Creeper pop up and started to hit her again. "AHG! NOT AGAIN!" Rainbow shouted as she shook herself free. She stun and suck up the min-creepers and went back to finding the Hiders. Rainbow remember that Fluttershy told her that Hider will be surprise if she force them out of their hiding spots. So Rainbow walk up to one of the beds and yank the blanket off. The Hider jump in surprise, but Rainbow didn't flinch. She stun and suck it up. She did the same to the other one. Rainbow check her map and saw the Family Room was next. She went thought the door and floated down the Solarium room and enter the Family Room. She once again spotted a shovel floated towards her and roll her eyes. She charge up the flashlight and Bright Flash the Greenie. She heard a familiar 'slosh' sound and walk into the kitchen to another Goober. "Oh great. It the slime ball again." Rainbow taunted once more. Like the other one, it didn't notices the name and kept attacking. Rainbow stun and started to suck it up. Rainbow move over to the wall to kept herself from getting too close it. And a couple yanks the Goober was sunk in. Rainbow flew into the Kitchen and spotted a Creeper on the ceiling. "Oh no you don't! You're not getting me this time!" Rainbow said as she flew back. The Creeper turn into a puddle and Rainbow thought on how to get it. Then Rainbow remember Fluttershy telling her that by suck the puddle the Creeper became solid. So that what Rainbow Dash did. She caught it and the lights turn on. Rainbow check her map and saw the Plant Nursery had ghost again. "Didn't I get that place already?" Rainbow ask herself. Still she shrug and went to the Rumpus Room and slid down the plant. Inside the Plant Nursery room, Two Greenies, one with a shovel and a plain one, appear. Rainbow even saw the purple puddle that she knew was the Creeper ghost. Rainbow turn and was able to stun the two Greenies. She suck them up and use the yank to make the drop some bits. rainbow pick them up and started to suck up the purple puddle. She stop as another shovel floated towards her. She turn and Bright Flash the Greenie and suck it up. She went back on suck up the puddle and caught the Creeper. The lights turn on and Rainbow heard the Ghost Looker theme play. "That it, Rainbow Dash! You caught all the ghost in Haunted Towers." Ghost Studies said. "Yeah! It was no sweat, Kind of hard when you can't fly so fast, but I did it." Rainbow smile. "Yes, a job well done." Ghost Studies said before Fluttershy appear. "Um, did you get hurt by any chance?" She ask. "Well, got hit by a Goober and was caught by a Creeper, twice." Rainbow said deciding to tell the truth. "Well, I'll have the Princesses bring you back. Another Mansion as appear and Fluttershy has to get there." Ghost Studies and the view turn off. Rainbow Dash hoof pump as her Mission was complete. She open the Ghost Looker and saw her time was 6:53. She was hopping to be faster then Applejack, but she was right. It was harder to move around with the Ghost Seeker 5000 on her back. Then was brought back to the Shack. Rainbow appear in the shack and fell on her flank. "Ow." She said as she stood up. "Nice going Rainbow Dash! Ghost Haunting sure looks like fun, can I try it next? Please?" Pinkie ask, now wanting to try it. "Now, now, Miss Pie, you get your chance, but first Rainbow will you empty the Ghost Seeker 5000?" Ghost Studies said and the tube appear. Rainbow place the hose on the tube and all the Ghost and Bits where send to the vault. Rainbow took off the Ghost Seeker and hand it back to Fluttershy. "Ghost haunting is pretty cool, but you are much better at it Fluttershy, maybe now you can fly and carry that at the same time." Rainbow said. "I think I'll stick to walking for now, I'm more use to it and I'm not a strong flyer like you Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said as she hand to Ghost Seeker back to Ghost Studies so he can upgrade it back to the way it was before. Rainbow sigh, then again, Fluttershy was the only pony in Ponyville that haunt ghost on two legs and doesn't fly while doing it. "Ok, just remember about it. It might come in handily in tight spots." Rainbow said smiling. Fluttershy smile back and Apple Bloom ask, "How fast did you caught the Ghost? I heard my sis took a little over 5 minutes to get them all. Before Rainbow could answer that she beat Applejack time Ghost Studies spoke up, "It took her almost 7 minutes to get them." "Ha! You maybe the leading pony in the Wonderbolts but not in Ghost Haunting." Applejack said proudly, she had beat Rainbow Dash at something once again. "You know there is one Pony that beat both of you." Rarity said before the two could started fighting. "Who?" Pinkie ask confuse. "Why Pinkie, did you forget that she be at this longer then we have?" Rarity ask surprise Pinkie would forgot. "Oh yeah! Silly me, I did forget, Fluttershy has both of their times beat." Pinkie said laughing at herself. "Um...maybe." Fluttershy said meekly as Ghost Studies smile and continues to get the Ghost Seeker back the way it was.
