//------------------------------// // Old Clockworks Part 1 // Story: Fluttershy's Mansion: Dark Moon // by Shazam 25 //------------------------------// Ghost Studies had finish upgrading the Ghost Seeker back the way it was for Fluttershy and was going over the map to see what was clear up. Rainbow Dash and Applejack was fighting over that they could beat their old record faster than each other, While Rarity roll her eyes and Pinkie sat and watch eating popcorn. Celestia just watch herself to see what happens when she not around. Luna just stood next Fluttershy trying to get over her worrying. "Ah! So that where it is.", Ghost Studies said and turn to his friends, " I found the next Dark Moon piece." Everypony stop what they were doing and try to Ghost Studies. "Really? That fast?" Rainbow ask knowing it took longer last time for the last Dark Moon piece. "Yes, it at Old Clockworks. A place that was use to tell time and was built over some ruins, however the place become abandon and now a favorite haunt for ghosts." Ghost Studies explain. "Well Fluttershy looks like you will be haunting some more." Pinkie said as she munch on the popcorn. "Try not to get to dirty or greasily while you are looking for the Gems...I mean the Dark Moon." Rarity said charging her ending. "I keep a eye out for more Gems while I'll look for the Dark Moon piece." Fluttershy said smiling while slipping on the Ghost Seeker once more. "Lucky for you the way there is through a Clock Tower Gate. Once you get there, I'll fill you up on what to do." Ghost Studies said and nods to the Princesses. "Good luck Fluttershy." Celestia said. "And sorry for the rough landing if you have it." Luna added and send Fluttershy to Old Clockworks Old Clockworks Fluttershy appear high on the air and was able to look around. "Uh...oh." She said before fall to the ground. Dust rose as Fluttershy sat on her flank. "Ahhh...Ahhh...AH COO!" she sneeze and shook her head. She stood up and look at Clockworks mansion. Fluttershy saw a gate lower and a green bulb on it. Fluttershy use her Bright Flash and the gate rise for her to pass. Fluttershy look around. There were broken clocks everywhere and for some strange reason, they all saw 4:30 on them. Fluttershy decide to look around for clues about the place. She walk to the left and walk on some train tracks. She stop at a hole and notices a chest on the other side. Fluttershy thought about giving her wing a try before thinking she better use her Dark-Light first. Fluttershy shine it and the rest of the tracks appear. She caught the Spirit Orbs and walk over to the chest. She open it and grab the bits inside. She walk back and continue down until she reach a blockage. Fluttershy look over a saw a red ball with a green bulb on it. Fluttershy Bright Flash it and it gain arm and legs and try to run over to Fluttershy. However, the blockage stop it and it blew up removing it as well. Fluttershy had duck when the Ball Bomb exploded. She look up and saw she can continue through now. Fluttershy walk down the track and come to some vents. She move them with her Ghost Seeker and bits fell out. Fluttershy grab them and couldn't shake the feeling she forgot something. Fluttershy shine her Dark Light around and soon found another chest. She caught the Spirit Orbs and open the Chest to find a Gem inside. Fluttershy walk back to the Giant Clock and saw both hands were pointing at the 12. Fluttershy look at the smaller clocks then back at the giant one. Maybe she was suppose to change the time on the Giant Clock to the time on the smaller clocks? She saw a handle and give it a try. It work, as the handle spin the hands on the clock move. Fluttershy kept going until it said 4:30. "Oh." Fluttershy said as she step back and the clock rise up to reveal a door that was behind it. Fluttershy enter the door and come into the Warehouse. Fluttershy jump in surprise as she ran into a Greenie that was at the door. The Greenie laugh and flew through another door. Fluttershy relax and walk forward. She saw green paper that was roll up on a machine with red roll up paper next to it. Fluttershy pull the green roll up paper and 30 bits fell out. She grab them and then hear a familiar creepy laugh. Fluttershy spotted another roll up green paper and stuck it up. She place it on the Machine and unroll it. Bits drop out and Fluttershy grab them and try the Red roll up paper. A spider come out this time. Fluttershy use the Bright Flash and collect the drop bit. Fluttershy walk forward and look up at some boxes. She notices something was missing and shine her Dark-Light to reveal a Green roll up paper. She suck the Spirit Orbs and brought it over it over to the machine and unroll it. A Gem come out of this one. Fluttershy walk back and suck up another Green roll up paper and unroll it at the machine. More Bits appear and Fluttershy grab them. She walk back and brought over the second red roll up paper. She unroll it and jump in surprise as a Shadowbolt appear. "Shadowputer says, '0100010 011011110 01101110'." He said and disappear. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light around again and had a little trouble finding it. After a while she did find it and it was stun. Fluttershy stuck up it tail and let all three bars full up. Once they were full. Fluttershy yank back and watch as the Shadowbolt boucle around the room faster than the others. It lay still and Fluttershy suck it up. She jump on the hose to get it in fully. The lights turn on. And Fluttershy walk down the Warehouse and saw a safe with a green bulb inside. Fluttershy use the Bright Flash and it open to reveal a golden roll up paper. She brought it over to the machine and unroll it to reveal a key. Fluttershy gave the key and walk down to the door next to the safe and unlock it to enter the Workshop. Fluttershy jump as she saw some hammers pounding on a giant Ball Bomb. Fluttershy had a bad feeling if the Giant Ball Bomb was finish, it could be lots of trouble. So she shine the Bright Flash and it started up. Two Greenies appear surprise to see their bomb working before it was finish and blew up on them. Fluttershy use the explode to stun both Greenies and caught them. Fluttershy look up and saw a chain above her and with a yank pull a vent open and a golden Greenie appear. Fluttershy stun and caught it getting bits on doing so. Fluttershy walk over to the next door after sucking some dirt out of the way. She suck up the bits on the high self and enter the door to Clock Tower Gate room. She made it. She look around with her Dark-Light and found a chest. She caught the Spirit Orbs and open the chest. Inside was a Gem, Fluttershy grab it and walk over to the Clock Tower Gate and notices that the hands were missing and so was a gear. Then her Ghost Looker theme play and she answer it. "Hello?" "Well done Fluttershy, you made it to the Clock Tower Gate." Ghost Studies said. "Um, yes I did but, the hands and a gear was missing." Fluttershy said. "What? Are you sure?" Rainbow ask. "Yes, I do think the ghost are try to stop me from getting the Dark Moon piece." Fluttershy said. "Yes, But it will take some strong ghost to remove them, Hold tight and I try to find them." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off. Fluttershy look around and saw a Greenie that dive into the sand and made a mini-tornado. Fluttershy dodge the mini tornado until the Greenie pop back up and was now dizzy. Fluttershy stun and caught it before two more took it place and repeat the same attack as the last one. Fluttershy got stuck in one and was throw out but the Greenie. It laugh and Fluttershy stood up and stun it. She caught and turn to see the third one doing it mini-tornado attack again. Again Fluttershy waited until the Greenie pop back up and stun then caught it. It drop a key as the lights turn on. Fluttershy grab the key and walk over to the lock door after moving the sand off the steps. Fluttershy unlock the door and came to the Cargo Room. That when Fluttershy Ghost Looker theme play again. "Hello?" "Fluttershy I found where the pieces are but first you will need a compass." Ghost Studies said. "A compass?" Fluttershy ask. "Yes find that Compass and we find those pieces." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off. Fluttershy walk down a broken floor and spotted something from the window. She remove a paper to see a Ball Bomb on a window. She shine her Bright Flash and the Ball bomb started running. It blew and sand pour in. Fluttershy watch as the sand rise on it reach the window, making a path for her to cross. Fluttershy walk across and saw another chain. She yank it down and some stairs appear. Fluttershy walk up the stairs and once she near the top a Greenie pop out scaring her. "Ow! Oof! Doh!" Fluttershy said as she fell down the stairs. The Greenie laugh as Fluttershy stood back up. She was a bit hurt but then saw Ball Bombs roll down stairs. Fluttershy dodge them and watch as a Greenie pick one up. Fluttershy act by using her Bright Flash and made the Ball Bombs started running. Fluttershy ran as the Ball Bombs follow and explode. She then stun and caught the Greenies. Just as she was about to relax a bit she heard another laugh and saw a huge hump in the sand moving around. She walk up to it and a Slammer bust out and scare her. Fluttershy use her Bright Flash and caught the Slammer. The lights turn on and Fluttershy walk back up the stairs and saw a blanket that look to be floating. Fluttershy yank it off and use her Dark-Light to reveal a tool box. She caught the Spirit Orbs and open the box to reveal a Golden Ball bomb that roll down the stairs. Fluttershy follow it and suck it up. She shot across the room and ran after it. She bright Flash it and ran away as fast as she can. It follow and blew up as it the other side of the wall, dropping a ton of bits. Fluttershy grab them and went back up the stairs and enter the door to the Clock Tower Gate, this time higher. Fluttershy thought about trying to use her wings again when she once again decide to use her Dark-Light first. Part of the bridge reappear and Fluttershy caught the Spirit Orbs before crossing. She did same thing to another part of the bridge and cross it and walk into the Drafting Office. Fluttershy look around and suck off some paper to get more bits. Doing so case a Greenie to appear. Fluttershy was to surprise at it appear this time and caught it. She look around the room some more and saw a fan. Remembering what she did with the last fans she come across, Fluttershy blew at the and the wall started to move. Then a Sneaker appear and scare her. The wall move as Fluttershy ready herself for another fight. Fluttershy saw some paper go flying and use her Bright Flash to stun one Sneaker. She stunk it up and waited until two bars full up before yanking back to suck the Sneaker in. Fluttershy dodge another Sneaker and use her Bright Flash to stun both Sneakers. This time Fluttershy waited until all three bars full up and yank back. They were suck in and drop bits. Fluttershy collect the bits and blew the fan again. Fluttershy ran behind the wall before it close. She open the cabin draw and find the Compass. She smile, she got the Compass. She place it in her saddlebags and heard her Ghost Looker theme play. "Hello?" "Any luck with that compass?" Ghost Studies ask. "Yes, I just found it." Fluttershy answer. "OH HO! Nice work Fluttershy! I tell everypony you are ready to come back." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off. Fluttershy jump for joy as her mission was complete. She open the Ghost Looker and saw her score. Then was brought back to the shack. Fluttershy appear in the shack and landed on her flank, causing dust to rise off her fur coat. "Ahhh...Ahhh...AH COO!" Fluttershy sneeze again. "Bless you." Celestia said kindly. "Thank you." Fluttershy said back. "Well Fluttershy how was your first trip through time line?" Ghost Studies ask and started laughing. Once again the other turn their heads sideways as Ghost Studies stop laughing. "Should we empty the Ghost Seeker 5000 so Fluttershy can find those parts of the clock?" Rainbow ask annoy. "Oh, fine! *cough 'kill joy' cough*." Ghost Studies said fake coughing. "What was that?" Rainbow ask. "Oh nothing." Ghost Studies said as the tube appear. Fluttershy place the hose on the tube and all the Ghosts, Bits, Gems and Shadowbolt went to the vault. Fluttershy pull the hose off and takes put the Compass and hand it to Ghost Studies. "I think you may what this." Fluttershy said handing it over. "Yes, Thank You Fluttershy. I will take me a few minutes to figure out something so why don't rest? Walking through that sand must be tiring." Ghost Studies said. "And why do you go wash up darling? You fur coat must be cover in sand." Rarity said. "Oh thank you Rarity, but I don't think it will matter this time, once Ghost Studies is done with the Compass, I'll be going back." Fluttershy said kindly to her friend. "Oh! I understand Darling, I guess sometimes you just have to deal with getting and staying dirty." Rarity said seeing the understanding in Fluttershy words.
