//------------------------------// // Old Clockworks Part 2 // Story: Fluttershy's Mansion: Dark Moon // by Shazam 25 //------------------------------// Ghost Studies look over the compass and his map trying to place them together. While he was doing that, Fluttershy roll her flashlight in her hoof. They been waiting for five minutes and Ghost Studies still hasn't said anything. Fluttershy was kind to let Ghost Studies work but Rainbow couldn't hold still for long. Finally she snap, "What taking him so long?!", She shouted, "It a compass, not lost toy!" Ghost Studies turns and said, "Finding something let this doesn't happen every day miss Dash! Luckily I'm already finish and the compass will help Fluttershy." Hearing that made everypony stand up. Fluttershy walk closer and waited for Ghost Studies to speak. "Turns out this compass can open a door that leads to the underground ruins were the clock hands are!" He said handing the compass back to her. Fluttershy grab the compass and place in her 'special space bag' before turning to Ghost Studies again. "As I was looking, I found the door is somewhere outside the Clockworks tower. So look around there." Ghost Studies said. "O...Ok." Fluttershy said softly. "Now Don't you worry bout a thing, Fluttershy." Applejack said. "Yeah, you be dealing with ghosts, what can be down there but more ghosts?" Rainbow added. Apple Jack roll her eyes and Celestia and Luna step up. "Fluttershy, we have seen you go through two haunted places and you have show many bravely during your quest." Celestia said. "Yes, We know you are scare, but please save Dark Moon Valley." Luna said knowing they can trust Fluttershy with this task. Fluttershy nods and was sent back to Old Clockworks. Fluttershy appear in the air and was able to land on her hoofs this time. She took out her flashlight and look around. Once she saw she was alone, she relax. She walk back up to the door of Clockworks Tower, but instead of going back inside, Fluttershy walk over to the side. She follow the rail until she spotted something sticking out of the ground. Fluttershy walk over to it and look at the metal sticking out of the sand. Fluttershy then notices that it top look just like the bottom of the compass she found earlier. Fluttershy took the compass out and set it on the spot. Then the compass started to spin and the sand blew away leaving behind a metal door. During all that Fluttershy step off as the wind blew the sand. Once the wind stop blowing, she tap her hoof on it to make sure it wouldn't open on her. When nothing happen she step on it and walk up to the compass. Fluttershy made a small stop twice to see if it will open, it didn't. Fluttershy then knee down and place her ear on the door and knock on it. "Hello?" She said before the door open and Fluttershy fell in. Fluttershy slide down the tunnel and landed in an crate that lower to the ground because of her weight in it. Fluttershy pick herself up and rub her flank as she shook her head. She jump on a rock near her and jumps on the ground as the crate rise and something can be heard shut in the room. As Fluttershy walk forwards, she spots a rock floated in the air and knew a ghost was behind it. She use her Bright Flash to stun the Greenie that was holding it and caught it. Then Fluttershy notices that the bed was shaking and went to check it, went a Greenie pop out from under it scaring her. The Greenie laugh as it flew up, but Fluttershy recover fast and stun then caught the Greenie. Fluttershy sign in relive that they were going and a purple gate rise out of the way only to show a normal gate blocking her path. Fluttershy notice something was wrong with the wall over the bed and saw a piece of it that was rip off. Fluttershy suck the paper wall off and found a picture of a Gem. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light on and the Gem pop out. She grab it and look at the rock laying on the ground. Then look at the gate and saw a pulley above the gate. She follow the robe and saw it went right back to the crate she landed in earlier. She suck up the rock and walk over to the crate. She set the rock on it and watch as the gate was lifted. Fluttershy walk over to it and enter into the Canyon Hall. Fluttershy spotted a tool box and open it. Instead of Bits, Gems, or a Ghost coming out, a black ball appear and saw a flame on the top. It took Fluttershy a while before she knew what it was, It was a BOMB! Fluttershy quickly ran away as the bomb explode and her a ghost laugh. Fluttershy was throw a bit from the blast and stood back up. She shook her mane and walk on, not wanting to open it again and find another bomb inside. Fluttershy walk through until she saw a pile of sand with a beam and a ball bomb in her way. Fluttershy flash the Ball Bomb and walk away. It blew but, the sand a beam stay in place. Fluttershy sign, looks like she will have to find a different route. As she look back through the hall she notices another wall that was different than the rest. Fluttershy remove the fake wall and enter into the Canyon Narrows. There Fluttershy spotted a ball with a chain. Fluttershy suck it up and was soon send across the narrow to the other side. She walk over to the next one and rode it back over the narrow and re-enter the Canyon Halls. Fluttershy walk past the crates unknowing that a Sneaker was right behind her. Fluttershy jump as she heard it laugh, she walk on hoping to avoid the ghost, but as soon as she reach the door a purple gate slam down and the Sneaker flew in front of her. Fluttershy wave her flashlight and saw it disappear. She turn around and saw the crates shank and open up to show a red spider and some bits inside them. Fluttershy Bright Flash the spider and collect the bit it drop. Fluttershy walk over to the bits and before she could pick them up the Sneaker appear and scare her. It laugh and disappear again. Fluttershy ready her flashlight and Bright Flash the spot she was in. Luckily the Sneaker was in her range and was stun. Fluttershy started to suck it up and use the second level bar to make the Sneaker lose 20 HP. After sucking for a little long, Fluttershy caught the Sneaker and the purple gate rise up. Before walking over to the door, Fluttershy saw another door to her right and enter it to the Canyon Stairs. She climb up and spotted a Gem in a Spider web and suck the web off and grab the Gem as it fell. Fluttershy then walk up the the rest of the stairs and saw a whole bunch of stuff laying her the way. There was also a Ball Bomb and Fluttershy flash it and it blew up making a path. Then the Ghost Looker Theme play and Fluttershy answer it. "Hello?" "Nice Work Fluttershy! The main way to the underground has been open." Ghost Studies said. "So did she find the clock hands yet?" Rainbow ask. "No, they are deeper underground, but now Fluttershy has a faster way of getting underground if she ever needs to return there." Ghost Studies explain. "Yes, that true, I guess." Fluttershy said. "Well Good luck Fluttershy, Make sure you got those hands the next time I call you unless it a update." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off. Fluttershy walk back down the stairs and into the Canyon Hall. She enter the door and came to the Roundhouse Pit. Fluttershy look around and saw a coffin. She walk over to it and it open on it own. A purple glow appear and Fluttershy was warp up and pull inside and the it close. Fluttershy try to shake herself free but stop as she notices she can see out the coffin. She saw a Shadowbolt Ghost appear in the room, follow by a Hider carrying a bomb. Fluttershy watch as the Hider hide the bomb in a barrel then hind in another one. The Shadowbolt soon release the Spirit Orbs and two barrels, one that was empty and one hiding the Hider, disappear. The Shadowbolt laugh and flew underground thinking the trap was set. After it left, Fluttershy was able to open the coffin and jump out. She shook off the bandage wraps and sigh in relief. Good thing she saw the trap the was set up, bad thing is she never wanted to be warp up again unless she had to be. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light and made the two barrel appear and caught the Spirit Orbs. She made the Hider come out of it hiding place and caught it as well. Fluttershy then was over to a wall and saw the ball chain on it. Fluttershy suck it up and started to yank on it. After three yanks Fluttershy fell over as the wall fell apart showing a hind door that was behind it. Then her Ghost Looker theme play again. "Hello?" "F_tter_hy! You m_st be de_p u_dergr_ _nd now." Ghost Studies voice said but because she was deep underground she could barely make out what he saying. "What?" Fluttershy ask. "Blast! T_e under_ _ound m_st be blo_king the Ghost L_ _ker signal! Any way, K_ _p looking for _ _e Clo_k hands!" Ghost Studies try to say before the view turn off. Fluttershy walk over to the vase and look inside. She found a golden dog bone! "Wow! Never seen these before! I better keep a hold of this." She said and put it away. Fluttershy enter the door and soon came to a Pit Slide. No sooner than she enter the room, it started to shake. "Huh? AGH!" Fluttershy cry as the room shook harder before it stop. Fluttershy look around before walking closer to the Pit Slide. She look down and saw piles of sand with bits in them. Fluttershy gulp and ready herself to slide down. Fluttershy slide down collecting bits on the way. The last three dunes made small bits pop out and Fluttershy stop and collect them. After that was over she walk over to the door and enter the Quarry and saw another door appear there. "How can I get up there? I don't think I can use my wings with this on me yet." Fluttershy ask herself referring to the Ghost Seeker 5000 on her back. Fluttershy walk down the path and saw some sand falling from the ceiling and a wagon full with sand. She walk over to the left first because she saw some bits and collect them and head over to the wagon and yank it by the rope that was on it. After the Second yank bats flew over Fluttershy and she jump at the sight of them. She walk into the cave that they enter and saw they were golden. She Bright Flash them watch as many bits fell. She collect them and saw another Gem in a spider web. She remove the web and grab the Gem. Fluttershy walk out and yank the wagon over to the hole. Once it was there a Greenie pop up and scare her. Fluttershy stun then caught it as another Greenie appear. While that was happen the room started to fill up with sand and three more Greenies appear each with a shovel. Fluttershy caught the Greenie without a shovel before turning to the three floating shovels. Fluttershy charge her Bright Flash and waited until the Greenie attack. Once it did, she stun then caught it. She did the same to the last two. Then three more Greenies appear along with a Golden Greenie. Fluttershy caught the Golden Greenies first then caught the normal Greenies after words. During the fight one Greenie pick up one of the Shovels and try to attack her. After Fluttershy caught all four Greenies, She saw the sand move and a Sneaker appear and scare her. Fluttershy run from her spot and soon Bright Flash one of the Sneakers and started to suck it up. Fluttershy was able to use the two bar yank and let herself be drag before another Sneaker appear and try to scare her. Fluttershy suck up the Sneaker she had and look for the last two. Fluttershy spotted some sand hand her way and Bright Flash the Sneaker heading for her. She suck it up and caught it before the last Sneaker scare her. Fluttershy stun and caught it as well and the lights turn on. Fluttershy sign in relief now that it was over. That when Fluttershy notices that the sand stop rising and she can now reach the door. Before entering the door Fluttershy spotted a chest close by and walk up the path only to see gasp. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light and a bridge appear. She caught the Spirit Orbs and the Shadowbolt from before shows itself. "Shoo ha ha! I'm Shadowine...with extra gravy!" It said before disappearing. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light around and soon find and stun the Shadowbolt. She suck up it tail and waited until all three bars were full up before yank back. Because the room was so big, the Shadowbolt was able stop stop itself and disappear again. Fluttershy repeat her last move move and the Shadowbolt lay on the ground. Fluttershy suck it up and jump on the hose before fully catching the Shadowbolt Ghost. After collect the bits it drop, Fluttershy enter the door and came to the Antechamber. The Hallway ahead her was really dark that not even her flashlight will show her where she going. But it did show her a giant web and a web ball which she suck up and carry over to the torches and lit it up. She walk over to the smaller web and burn it way. She walk in the cave and saw a chest and some bits. She blew the web ball away and open the chest and grab the bits inside and in the cave before walking out and grabbing the web ball and relighting it. Fluttershy walk down the hallway burning webs and spiders before entering the Tomb. Fluttershy look around and only fond 30 Bits and a empty room. She walk over to the coffin and open it. A glow appear inside as Fluttershy smile. Then one of the clock hands floated out of the coffin. Fluttershy did it. She found a clock hand. She reach of it and it move to the right. "Huh?" Fluttershy said and reach for it again. Again it move only this time to the left. "How odd." Fluttershy said as she reach for it again. This time a ghost appear and scare Fluttershy. "Nah nah ha!" the ghost said as Fluttershy look at it. "Is that a Poltergeist Ghost?!" Fluttershy ask. It was indeed a Poltergeist Ghost but it was blue instead of Yellow. It laugh again and flew off. Fluttershy pick herself and look at the hallway the Ghost flew to. Fluttershy shook her head and started to follow the ghost and heard something. Fluttershy didn't notices that a grey wrap up hand appear out of the sand follow by a grey wrap up body, legs, and head. Fluttershy just stood there not wanted to turn around to see what be her. She was already scare and knew something was behind her. Fluttershy quickly ran from her spot before turn to see Mummy walk slowly towards her. Fluttershy use her Bright Flash and instead of the Mummy getting stun it cry out in a low voice of pain and started ran to her. Fluttershy quickly ran out of it path and the Mummy hit the wall and fell over. Fluttershy notices that a piece of it wrap bandage was loose and suck it up. With a yank the Mummy spin around and soon a Greenie took it place. It was holding fake arms, hands, and legs before noticing that it disguise was gone. Fluttershy quickly stun and caught it. Then two more Mummies appear and started to walk slowly to Fluttershy. Fluttershy ran to the nearest one and waited by the wall. She use her Bright Flash and move out of it path. However the Mummy didn't hit the wall and turn back to Fluttershy as the second Mummy started to get closer. Fluttershy shine her Bright Flash and both Mummies charge at her, only to run into each other. They fell over and Fluttershy suck up one of the warps and spin the Mummy around. She try to do the same with the other one but it broke free before she could. Fluttershy ran from the Mummy and stun and caught the Greenie. That when she notice that a bug started to appear in the fight and started to fly after her. Fluttershy use her Bright Flash and turn them into bits. The Mummy caught up to Fluttershy and she bright Flash it and it ran into a wall. It fell over and Fluttershy suck up it warp and spin it around to show a Greenie in it place. She stun and caught it as the lights turn back on. Fluttershy sign in relive and then her Ghost Looker Theme play. "Hello?" "F_tter_hy! Are _ou a_e ri_ht? Did _ou fin_ the C_ock h_nds?" Ghost Studies voice try to say. "Um I can't understand you, but if it about the clock hands then yes I fond them." Fluttershy said. "A_eso_e! W_y a g_!, Flu_ters_y!" Rainbow voice try to say. "Um maybe you should bring me back?" Fluttershy said tried of being underground. "Of C_usre! H_ng on I'll ha_e the Pri_nesses _ring you b_ck!" Ghost Studies try to say again before the view turn off. Fluttershy jump for joy as her mission was complete. She open her Ghost Looker and saw her score. Then was brought back to the shack. Fluttershy appear in the shack and landing on her flank. "Welcome back Fluttershy! Sorry for the bad transmission, the underground was blocking some of the Ghost Looker signal and guess you had a hard time hearing us." Ghost Studies said. "Yes, and about the Clock hands. I did find them but a ghost that looks like a Poltergeist took them." Fluttershy said. "Don't you mean is a Poltergeist, Fluttershy?" Pinkie ask. "Will it was a Poltergeist but it was blue instead of Yellow." Fluttershy explain. "Hm, I'll look into it. In the mean time let's empty the Ghost Seeker 5000, it has to be full with all the ghosts and bits you fond." Ghost Studies said before the tube appear. Fluttershy place the hose on the tube and all the Ghosts, Bits, Gems, and Shadowbolt went to the vault. Then a loud noise was heard and streamers appear showing that Fluttershy collect enough bits to have the Ghost Seeker upgrade once again. "Nice work Fluttershy! I can now upgrade the Dark-Light one last time. May I please have it?" Ghost Studies said then ask. Fluttershy took off the Dark-Light and hand it to Ghost Studies. Like before the was a bit of pounding and clicking before Ghost Studies turn back to Fluttershy. "Here you are! Now the Dark-Light was last even longer then before! I do have one last upgrade but it cost a lot of Bits." Ghost Studies said. Fluttershy place the Dark-Light on her flashlight and shine it around. "Whoa! You weren't kiddin' when you said that it can make it own rainbow." Apple Bloom said during that she didn't see it when Fluttershy save her. "Yeah! It pretty cool!" Rainbow Dash agree as Fluttershy turn off the Dark-Light.
