//------------------------------// // Old Clockworks Part 4 // Story: Fluttershy's Mansion: Dark Moon // by Shazam 25 //------------------------------// Ghost Studies look over the map again and again trying to find the Minute Hand. Fluttershy had remove the Ghost Seeker 5000 so her wings can flap for a bit. All the thoughts about trying to fly make her miss using her wings, After a little while later Ghost Studies finally turn to his friends. "Well, I check over the map one last time and I can only find three Ghosts and they are Greenies." He said. "Hm, Just Greenies?" Fluttershy ask to make sure. "Yes, But something tells me this must be a reason for them, So you might what to check it out while looking for the other hand." He said. "If they're just Greenies, why should worry about them?" Rainbow ask. "Maybe they might have the other clock hand." Rarity answer. "Hm, that could be true but we won't know until Fluttershy goes there." Ghost Studies said. Fluttershy put the Ghost Seeker 5000 back on and was sent back to the Old Clockworks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy appear outside of the tower this time and land on her hooves. She swing her flashlight around look for any ghost that might attack her. When she saw none, she relax. Fluttershy turn and saw three Greenies. They were play with the hand, two of them toss it back and forth over the third one laughing at their game. Then Fluttershy saw the Ghost Dog from the Haunted Towers appear and grab the key from mid-air. Like with the boss key before, the Ghost Dog ate the hand and bark. It roll over before jumping inside the clock tower. The three Greenies were angry and chase after the Ghost Dog. Fluttershy knew she had to get the hand first before the Greenies do and Bright Flash the green bulb and enter the tower. Fluttershy jump at the sight of the three Greenies. Two of them flew off as one stay behind to look for the Ghost Dog incase it was still there. Fluttershy use her time to stun the Greenie and suck it up, but this Greenie was different then the rest. It had a blue shield around and Fluttershy did not hear the count down from before. She kept pulling back until she notice that her bars were also color. The first bar was green, but Fluttershy didn't yank yet. The second was blue, the same color as the Greenie shield. Fluttershy yank back and the shield around the Greenie broke and Fluttershy caught it like a normal Greenie. After that Fluttershy walk to the Workshop room. "Yipe!" she said as she saw another Greenie. It pay no mind to Fluttershy and flew out of the room. Fluttershy then remember about her Dark-Light and shine it. She saw some paw prints and follow them to a machine. She open it and the Ghost Dog jump out and run around Fluttershy making her dizzy. After that it try to run off, but the Greenie from before re-enter the room and almost caught the Ghost Dog. It jump up to the next room and the Greenie followed it. Fluttershy stood up and sign. "Here we go again." She said sadly. She knew it was just a puppy and wanted to play, but it had something she needs. She remove a fake wall to find some bits before enter the Clock Tower Gate room. Once in there Fluttershy look at the giant Clock and notices one of the lanterns were missing. Shining her Dark-Light, she found Spirit Orbs and caught them. Then a Shadowbolt Ghost appear. "Don't you dare call me Gumshoo! My name is Jamshoolaya!" It said and disappear. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light again and stun the Shadowbolt. She suck up it tail and let all three bars full up before yanking back. Because it was a big room the Shadowbolt was able to stop itself and disappear again. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light again and found the Shadowbolt. She suck up it tail and yank back. The Shadowbolt lay still after bouncing around for and few seconds and Fluttershy suck it up. She jump on the hose and caught it. Fluttershy enter the Cargo Room and walk up the stairs. This time no Ghost appear to scare her and make her fall down. At the top, she remove the blanket and open the toolbox to find another Golden Bone. After that she enter the door and walk across the bridge at the top of Clock Gate Room. Fluttershy then enter the Drafting Office and shine her Dark-Light again. She found the paw prints and follow them to the drawers. She open it and the Ghost Dog jump her and lick her before running off. A Greenie come out of it hiding place and chase the Ghost Dog once more. Fluttershy stood up and made the fan spin and walk pass the moving wall and enter the door to find herself back at Warehouse. Fluttershy walk on and spotted the Greenie looking over the crates for the Ghost Dog until it spotted her. Not wanting Fluttershy to get the hand first, it attack. Fluttershy dodge it and stun it. Like the one, it too had a shield only this one was blue. Fluttershy let the first bar full up and yank back, then caught the Greenie. Fluttershy enter the Clockmakers Chambers and shine her Dark-Light again. She follow the paw prints to the closet and open it. Like before the Ghost Dog jump on Fluttershy and lick her before jumping through the window. Fluttershy stood up and enter into the Roundhouse. She saw the Ghost Dog on the other side and walk up to the beams and cross slowly. "Nice Doggy. Please stay there, I be right over." Fluttershy said talking to the dog. If it was anything like the animals she care for, then it had to be the same with Ghost Dogs, right? As Fluttershy jump back on the beam to reach the Ghost Dog, the third Greenie appear and chase the Ghost Dog away. "Hey! Come back!" Fluttershy call out and step off the beam before giving chase as well. She enter the Transportation Hall and shine her Dark-Light to figure out which door to take. She saw the paw prints lead to the left door and enter it to the Finishing Room. Once she step inside the Ghost Dog trip her as it ran from the Greenie. The Greenie try to caught it, but the Ghost Dog ran through the door and it spotted Fluttershy. It flew away showing it didn't want to deal with her. "Well, Guess that make it easy for me to get the other hand." Fluttershy said and started to head for the door. Oh, was she wrong. Purple gates slam shut and the Greenie appear with two Slammers. This one was going to let Fluttershy get the hand that easy. Fluttershy was caught off guard by one of the Slammers as it hit her and laugh. Fluttershy then Bright Flash it and caught it. She did the same to the other one before turning to the Greenie. She stun and suck that one up as well. Like the two before it, it had a shield but this one was red. Fluttershy let her bars full up again. First blue, then Green, and finally red. Fluttershy yank back and the shield broke and caught it. The purple gate rise and Fluttershy walk through door. She saw the Ghost Dog ran to the next room and walk over to the door that lead to the Container Yard. No soon then she enter, the Ghost Dog ran back out. Fluttershy follow it, but it ran back into the Container Yard and when Fluttershy enter the room again, it ran back out. "Hm, I don't like this, but I guess I have to sneak behind it." Fluttershy said and walk over to the chain-ball and yank three time to make Ball Bombs drop in the crate. After cross the bridge, she Bright Flash them and they blew up and lower the other crate. She went through the door and saw she was now behind the Ghost Dog. She creep up quietly and charge her flashlight. The Ghost Dog didn't notice Fluttershy coming from behind but heard a soft "I'm sorry." and was stun by the Bright Flash. Fluttershy once again started to sunk up the Ghost Dog and yank back went two bars were full. Finally she stuck it in and the Minute Hand was fling to the end of the Moving Floor. Fluttershy pick up the Bits and walk to the hand and grab it. Then her Ghost Looker theme play. "Hello?" "Hohoho! Nice going Fluttershy! You got the other hand. That Ghost Dog did us a favor snatching the Minute hand from the Ghosts." Ghost Studies said. "And you did catch it again, right?" Rainbow ask. "Oh! I hope she did! If the thing wants to play, then I will play with it!", Pinkie voice pipe up, "We play games, eat snacks and I'm not quite sure how it eat things but we'll have a party and then..." Pinkie was stop by Applejack by cover Pinkie mouth with her hoof. "Any way, you did catch that Ghost Dog right?" Apple Jack ask. "Yes I did." Fluttershy said. "Good now let hope this time it goes to the vaunt when you get back." Ghost Studies said and 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 to the Shack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy appear in the shack and land on her flank. "You know Fluttershy, if you are started to land on her hooves in the Clock Tower, then try landed on them here." Rainbow said rolling her eyes. "Oh...um...yes, sorry." Fluttershy said and stood up. "Well let empty the Ghost Seeker and look at the other clock hand." Ghost Studies said and the tube appear. Fluttershy place the hose on the tube and all the Ghosts, Bits, and Shadowbolt went to the vaunt. Fluttershy remove the hose and once more hear a bark. Fluttershy look at the hose and the Ghost Dog appear out of it and once more lick Fluttershy. Then started to run off. "Oh no you don't!" Rainbow said and try to catch it, only to hit the wall as the Ghost Dog jump through. "Hm, guess I have some thing else to add to the Ghost Seeker 5000." Ghost Studies said thinking on how it got out again. "Well, I'm sure you think of something, but what left to get?" Apple Jack said then ask. Fluttershy pull out the hand and gave it to Ghost Studies. "Let see, they remove both Hands and the rotor. The Rotor is left to get." Ghost Studies said. "Start look for it so we can get this over with." Rainbow said trying to shake the dizzies she had.
