Ghost Studies turn around in his chair cheering happily.
"Good News! I found the Rotor!" He said.
Everypony quickly runs up to him to hear where it was.
"It turns out that it on the east of the Clock Tower. It be sealed off, but the Princesses should have no trouble of getting Fluttershy there!" He said.
"Awesome! Those Ghost won't know what hit them once Fluttershy appear there." Rainbow said happily.
"And with that Rotor thing. Fluttershy can fix the Clock Tower Gate!" Pinkie shouted really happy.
"Well Fluttershy this is the last piece. After that you just have to get the Dark Moon Piece." Applejack said.
"Yes, it still there but we have to hurry." Ghost Studies said.
"Do be careful Fluttershy. I sense some strong waited for you." Celestia said.
"Hey, She got this in the bag. No Ghost is going to stop my pal Fluttershy from getting that Rotor and Dark Moon." Rainbow said putting a hoof around Fluttershy.
"Um...Yes?" Fluttershy said a little confuse.
"We'll send you now, Good Luck Lady Fluttershy." Luna said and send her to the Old Clockworks again.
Inside Clock Tower and Sneaker floated around try to find a good hiding place for the Rotor it had. This Sneaker was different than the rest. It look like it was crystallize and look even stronger than a normal Sneaker.
The Sneaker look around and behind him Fluttershy appear and fell from mid-air. First hitting her flank and then boucle on her head before rolling to her Flank again.
The Sneaker look behind him and they stare at each other for a while before the Sneaker look at the Rotor it had and flew out of the room.
Fluttershy stood up and started to follow the Ghost. She spot a safe and Bright Flash it. It started to lower, but stop after a inch of moving. Fluttershy look at it confuse and left the room and enter the Gear Chamber.
Fluttershy walk forward and step on a lift the lower because of the weight it grain. Fluttershy step off and turn to see the Rotor about to place in a box. Fluttershy couldn't help, but to jump at the sight making the Sneaker notices she was already there. It then flew through forcing Fluttershy to halt on her chase. She sigh and her Ghost Looker Theme play. "Hello?"
"Fluttershy! Was that a Sneaker? It look different than the others." Ghost Studies said.
"Yes, it look like it was crystallize." Celestia voice answer for Ghost Studies.
"Hm, he seems to hind the Rotor in the Storage Room...What this?" Ghost Studies said before notices something.
"What is it?" Fluttershy ask almost scare to find out.
"I'm picking up a pony's magical life force signature in the Synchronization Room not to far from you." Ghost Studies said.
"One of my friends?" Apple Bloom voice ask.
"Don't know, but whoever it is, they might help you, go look for them Fluttershy." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off.
Fluttershy walk down the stairs and notices a sand field across from the door. She walk across the sand and notices that two crate with a short gasp in between them. She shine her Dark-Light and made Spirit Orbs appear. She caught them and a small bridge appear.
Fluttershy walk up the crates and cross the bridge and walk up to a door. She open it and was stuck inside. Fluttershy open her eyes to see herself a in maze with Red Bits and Gear pads. A map appear in front of her and saw she once again had 15 seconds to get the all.
She went to the closer one first and then ran to the Gear pad. She boucle over the gear in the way and ran as quickly as she can to pick up the Red and Normal Bits. She step on another gear pad and boucle over another gear and ran to the last two Red Bits. After collecting them a Box appear in the middle of the room. Fluttershy walk up and open it. Inside was a Gem. Fluttershy grab it and was pull upwards.
The Door open and Fluttershy step out. She left room and through the door and found her below the Service Elevator room. She walk down the stairs and heard a loud scrape sound and the safe from the room above drop down and slam on the ground.
Fluttershy jump in surprise as she saw Bits fly in the air. She recover and suck them up before entering the Maintenance Hub room. Fluttershy saw a ball-chain and suck it up. She then ride it across and saw a platform. She miss it and drop below the giant gear. Fluttershy pick herself up and started to look for a way back up. Her wings were still out of the question so she was still grounded.
As Fluttershy look around she notice some sand was lower than the rest and shine her Dark-Light. She caught the Spirit Orbs and open the box that appear. Inside was another Gem, She grab it and walk over to a gear pad. It boucle her back up to the giant gear and she saw a roll bridge.
She use her Ghost Seeker 5000 to unroll it and cross it to a door, but she found it was lock. She walk back to the giant gear and look over the were the another bridge. She figure there was suppose a door and shine her Dark-Light. She caught the Spirit Orbs and enter the door to Crank Room.
Fluttershy saw two Slammers on the other side and some giant gears around her. Fluttershy walk over to the stairs to the two Giant Gears. Along the way picking up bits. She spotted a Golden Ball Bomb and suck it up. After moving it away from the gears she shot it away from her and Bright Flash it. After it blew Fluttershy pick up more bits and walk back to the gears
Fluttershy notices there was a gear missing and shine her Dark-Light once more. She caught the Spirit Orbs and the Gear appear. She step off the Gears and soon saw that the Gear cross from the door started to move. She walk over it and step on the Gear. She ride it to the next floor and step off before the hooker caught her.
She heard the familiar laugh and knew there was a Shadowbolt close by. Fluttershy notice a fake wall and remove to find a hidden room. It was small but Fluttershy look around the room. She then shine her Dark-Light and caught the Spirit Orbs. A box appear and a Shadowbolt appear.
"Boo! You found me! Nobody hare, but Shoony Ratboot." It said before disappearing.
Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light one more and stun the Shadowbolt. She suck up it tail and let all three bars full up. She yank back and the Shadowbolt boucle all over the small room. It lay still and Fluttershy suck it up. She jump on the hose to get it in fully.
She walk back out of the small room and in between the gaps in the gear in the wall and walk over to the two Slammers. Fluttershy ready her flashlight and stun one of the Slammers. She caught it and watch as the second Slammer try to attack her. She dodge it and stun him as well. After caught them, Fluttershy check the lockers that were there. Two were empty, one had a Golden Greenie (which she got some more bits from), and the last one had a key.
Fluttershy grab the Key and walk up to the other gear and rode it back down to ground level. She left the Crank Room and walk back to the lock door. She unlock it and enter the Synchro Gantry room. She pick up some bits and remove a web blocking more bits before walk up to the clock and pull the level. She step back as the time move to 12 and a coo-coo bird appear. It make it "coo-coo" sound before reaching down and grabbing Fluttershy by her fur coat. It when back in the clock and appear on the other side and threw her to the ground.
Fluttershy look back up at the coo-coo bird that squawk at her before going back to it coo-coo sound and retreat back in the clock. Fluttershy shook her head and stood up walk down the path. She remove the web and step into another room.
Now Fluttershy enters a dark room, seemed small with many gears in the background. There were two large gears that can be seen to be moved by turning the valves on the south. The hole to the right from what the pony could guess, leads back into the Synchro Gantry she just came from. After vastly searching the place, finding bits from spots, behind a vase, vacuum a wall cloth to uncover a hidden stash of more loot, & dealing with more red spiders that happened to appear. When Fluttershy turn to the distance of three large gears cutting off a path for her to walk across to another area, was...a picture. But from closer examination, the portrait was showing another filly inside, this one was a Unicorn, and could almost look like Rarity, kinda...? It was...
"Oh my goodness! Sweetie Belle? So you're the one that's here?" Fluttershy yelped in remembering this other missing CMC, so she's stuck in a portrait, like Apple Bloom was. "Oh my, I have to figure out how to reach you? My wings could help, but maybe there's a better way?" She needed a plan to get over there & help, but if flying wasn't gonna cut it, what else can?
Fluttershy looked around for options, & soon approached the valves in planning to, hopefully, turn the bigger gears to make a path. Just then, she noticed only two gears, yet one was missing on the far right, & she needed to turn three for the gears. So without delay, she shun her Dark Light, exposing Spirit Orbs, suck them up, and revealed the hidden gear valve. Next, the pony carefully observe the turning of the valve, & did the same for the other two, before making a path to walk across.
"Okay, now that that's done, time to help out another pony in need." Fluttershy stated in seeing a clear path, & walked across the gears to reach the portrait containing Sweetie Belle. She shun her Dark Light on the portrait, as it slowly was making the background colorful & helping to release the filly within. "Oh, is it working?" Fluttershy pondered the thought if she was freeing the filly, & then...
"Waugh-Ugh!" Suddenly, Sweetie Belle bumped against Fluttershy, knocking both them down.
"Ugh?" Fluttershy yelped from landing on her flank once more from another surprise, yet unexpected collision from freeing someone.
"Augh, oh my?" Sweetie Belle let off a moan to sit up from not knowing what happened?
"Wobububhaahh?" Fluttershy shook her head to get rid of the dizziness she was feeling at the moment.
"Aaahhhh...wait, are you...? Haaah!" Sweetie Belle suddenly snap out of her dizzy state to see, what made her begin to smile.
"Haha, yep, it's me." Fluttershy chuckled a little bit while standing up straight before the filly.
"Wah-hoo!" Sweetie Belle jumped up for joy, it was a pony friend she knows.
"Fluttershy, it's you! The REAL you! It's a real honor to see you again Fluttershy, we in the Cutie Mark Crusaders see you as our number 1 Pony Ghost Hunter, we're big fans." The little unicorn filly spoke with much delight in her voice.
"That's...nice to hear, but right now, I'm here to rescue you." Fluttershy smiled to say in hearing such a nice statement.
"Really, gee...I was almost thinking ponies forgot about me." Sweetie Belle spoke from feeling a bit gloomy about being forgotten after so much time has pass.
"Oh, that's not true, why even Rarity was worried after we found out from Apple Bloom." Fluttershy spoke to try to cheer up the filly that no one forgotten her, not even her own sister & found friend.
"You found Apple Bloom! Really? Where is she?" Sweetie Belle perk up for joy in hearing a friend of hers was near, & wants to see her again.
"With Ghost Studies & our other friends." Fluttershy pointed out where Apple Bloom is currently. "But right now, I probably don't know if I should be doing this? But...could you help me find access into the Storage Room?" She was having some thought about if perhaps Sweetie Belle could help her in a little task she needs to complete to get her mission done.
"Sure, it's the least I can do. By the way, where are we?" Sweetie Belle nods in willing to help, & wants to know where they are?
"Um, in a Clock Tower that's a favorite hunting spot for lots of ghost?" Fluttershy slowly pondered off in answering that question, but...
"Eek! Say what?" Sweetie Belle jumped a bit frightened in hearing this suddenly.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the ghost parts after all?" Fluttershy apologized in thinking this was her mess.
"No, it's just...being here while in that portrait, I've...got something to tell you Fluttershy." Sweetie Belle spoke a bit embarrassed by this feeling she has that she can't hid. "I think I've gotten...gulp...an irrational fear of clock." She gulped in stating she's come across a fear of clocks now.
"Really, wow, I never knew ponies could be afraid of clocks?" Fluttershy spoke a bit bizarre to hear such a thing to be scared of.
"Please-please don't laugh about it, okay? Something here's made me get tense from the haunted clock straights, loud gear turns, ghost wailing, it's affected me." Sweetie Belle issued a claim in what's been going on when she was trapped. "Maybe until I've gotten over it, could you help keep me away from large clocks & gears, pretty please? This place gives me the creeps." She pleaded to have the mare help her out.
"Don't worry, I'll help out, I'm sure maybe when we get back, Princess Celestia & Luna can cure you of that fear." Fluttershy smiles to nod in assuring her filly friend, that all will be well. "And maybe once we're done, we can get you out of here." She stated off another fact to help make Sweetie Belle have hope.
"Thanks Fluttershy for understanding." Sweetie Belle smiled in feeling a little more better now from having this chat.
Fluttershy smiled in being glad to help out when she can, now they'll just have to get out of here to return where they need to go, find the rotor, & bring Sweetie Belle in.
They started to walk out of the room when the gears started to move on their own.
"What going on?" Sweetie Belle ask.
"I'm not sure." Fluttershy said before the hear ghost laughing.
"Gh...ghost!?" Fluttershy nearly scream.
"You can handle them...right?" Sweetie Belle ask, wanted to see Fluttershy ghost hunt.
"Um...Sure." Fluttershy said with the bravest voice she had.
Soon two Greenies appear and floated to Fluttershy, who charge her flashlight and Bright Flash them. She started to stuck them up and found the both had shields, one green and one red. Know that she has to let her yank power full up she fight back until she saw all three bars full. She yank back and both shields broke. Then she caught them like normal.
After that Fluttershy relax and Sweetie Belle hug her.
"That was amazing Fluttershy!", She said, "YOU are the number one Pony Ghost Hunter!"
"Um...Thank you?" Fluttershy said not really sure how to react to this sudden hug.
After Sweetie Belle let go, they walk back out to the Synchro Gantry room. Fluttershy walk through and step on a switch.
Fluttershy saw a gate lower and begin to think.
"What is it Fluttershy?" Sweetie Belle ask.
"Well it just that I can't use my wings to get over there. And you are the only one that can fit." Fluttershy said rubbing her chin with her hoof.
"Are...are you sure?" Sweetie Belle ask not wanting to be spit from Fluttershy.
"Yes, that clock over there will take me to the other side." Fluttershy said looking towards the coo-coo.
"Ok, but how I'm going to get up there?" Sweetie ask turning from the clock.
"That some I can handle, hold on." Fluttershy said before she stuck up Sweetie Belle and fire her up to the belt.
Sweetie rode the belt to the other side and Fluttershy once more use the coo-coo clock.
Once she was on the other side she heard Sweetie Belle scream, "Fluttershy! Help!"
Fluttershy look up and saw a Greenie on the belt scaring Sweetie Belle, but not trying to catch her. Not wanted to take any chances, Fluttershy use her Bright Flash and stun the Greenie. She suck it up and another appear. Fluttershy caught that one and turn to Sweetie Belle who was sitting on the ground after being save.
"Thanks...Fluttershy." Sweetie Belle said short of breath.
After waiting for Sweetie Belle to catch her breath the walk through the door and back into the Maintenance Hub room. Sweetie Belle didn't move any more because she was still afraid of clock gears. Fluttershy suck her up and walk across the gear and shot her to the door in the other side.
"How are you going to cross?" Sweetie Belle ask knowing Fluttershy couldn't fly.
"I'll find a way." Fluttershy answer before walk back to the other door. Before she could step on the bridge, it roll up and Fluttershy jump in surprise before a Weapon and Shield Greenie appear. Fluttershy has not seen those Greenies since Gloomy Manor. Still, she remember how to beat it. She dodge the attack and use her Bright Flash to stun and catch it. Then two more weapon and shield Greenies appear and Fluttershy did the same thing and caught both of them.
After that the lights turn on and Fluttershy wipe her forehead before walk over to a ball-chain and rode it to the other side. Sweetie Belle jump happily as Fluttershy walk up to her.
"Wow Fluttershy! We're right that you are the greatest Pony to hunt ghosts!" She said.
"Um...thank you?" Fluttershy said shyly.
They walk through the door and up the stairs (where Fluttershy flash some spiders to get some bits) and back into the Gear Chamber. Once the enter there, the Sneaker that hind the Rotor was waiting for them and scare both Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle.
"Waaaaaaaaa!/Aaahhhh!" They scream from the sudden scare.
The Sneak laugh and flew out to the sand area waving a finger to them the two to come closer. They both step in the Sand area before Fluttershy notices it was a trap. A purple gate slam shut behind them and three Greenies appear.
"Sweetie Belle! Get somewhere safe." Fluttershy told the unicorn filly.
"Ok! Aaahhhh!" Sweetie Belle said then scream to warn Fluttershy that a Greenie was about to attack her.
Fluttershy jump out of the way and charge her flashlight. She unleash her Bright Flash and stun the Greenie. She suck it up and two more Greenies appear. Fluttershy caught them with ease. Then three more Greenies appear each with a shovel. Fluttershy move away and get all three close together. One started to tease her and another try to attack. Fluttershy stun both of them and let herself get drag to dodge the third Greenie attack. After that, she caught the two Greenies and turn to the last one. She caught that one after it try to attack and saw three sand dunes moving to her.
Fluttershy jump as three more Greenies appear. She use the time to use the Bright Flash and stun all three of them. Then suck them up. She saw that they were shield Greenies. Two red and one green. Fluttershy let all three bars full up before yanking back to brake their shields and caught them like normal Greenies.
Fluttershy caught her breath but jump again as three mummies appear out of the sand. Fluttershy quickly ran from them and move closer to a wall and charge her flashlight again. Once the mummies were close, Fluttershy use her Bright Flash to made them cry out in pain before charging at her. She move out of their way and all three hit the wall and fell over. Fluttershy only had time to unwrap one mummy before the other two stood up. Fluttershy quickly caught the Greenie and blind the to mummies again.
Once more, Fluttershy only had time to unwrap one mummy before the last one stood up. She caught the and blind the last one again. She unwrap it and caught the last Greenie.
"Fluttershy! HELP!" Sweetie Belle shouted.
Fluttershy turn to see the Sneaker ghost holding Sweetie Belle in front of itself to block out the Bright Flash. Fluttershy knew she had to do something to save Sweetie Belle.
"Close your eyes Sweetie Belle!" Fluttershy told her and charge up her flashlight.
The Sneaker heard what she said and drop Sweetie Belle before disappearing. Fluttershy look at the sand to see were the heading and saw to pass right behind her. She turn and unleash the Bright Flash catch the Sneaker off guard. Then she suck it up. Fluttershy soon learn that this Sneaker was more powerful than the ones she's use it. This one started to fight back and Fluttershy can feel herself getting drag, but fought back with all her might. With two bars full and yanking back she finally caught the Sneaker.
Fluttershy sign in relief as the battle was over. Sweetie Belle ran over to her and jump in her hooves hugging her. Fluttershy couldn't stop herself from jump from the sudden action.
"Nice work Fluttershy! You are the Greatest!" Sweetie Belle said still hugging her.
"Thank you..." Fluttershy said before her Ghost Looker theme play.
Like with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle jump away and almost knock Fluttershy over.
"What was that?" She ask after being scare from the strange tune.
"It ok, if for me.", Fluttershy said before answering it, "Hello?"
"Nice going Fluttershy. You show that ghost what you can do." Ghost Studies said.
"Did you find that pony that is in the Clock Tower?" Rainbow ask.
"Yes, I found Sweetie Belle." She answer.
Both Rainbow Dash and Ghost Studies were push away as Rarity and Apple Bloom appear.
"Sweetie Belle! Thank the princesses you're ok." Rarity said happily.
"How do you get out?" Apple Bloom ask.
"I didn't. I was trapped inside a portrait." Sweetie Belle answer.
"WHAT?! HOW DARE THEY!" Rarity yell full with rage.
"Um, I hope you don't mind Rarity but, uh, I need Sweetie Belle help to get to the Storage Room." Fluttershy said unsure.
"WHAT?! But Fluttershy, you should bring her back and then get the Rotor." Rarity said surprise.
"Rarity it ok, Fluttershy has already save me from ghosts. I want to help as a way for saving me from that portrait." Sweetie Belle said clamming her sister
"But...I...Oh...alright, just don't go wandering off. Stay close to Fluttershy at all times" Rarity said before Ghost Studies appear again.
"Well, Good luck Fluttershy. Can me when you get the Rotor." Ghost Studies said and the view turn off.
Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle walk up the stairs to the two lifts. They walk over to the lift that was in the air and they both nod. Fluttershy suck up Sweetie Belle and fire her to the lift. The lift lower and Sweetie Belle move the bar up and smile. She held out her hoof and Fluttershy give her a soft high hoof. Then they walk through door and into the Storage Room.
Fluttershy was able to spot the Rotor behind some blueprints and remove them with her Ghost Seeker. She also found a small hole and turn to Sweetie Belle.
"Sweetie Belle? Can you get that Rotor for me please?" Fluttershy ask kindly.
Sweetie look at the rotor and shook her head, her new found fear showing.
"Don't worry it just that one Rotor. I don't need any other clock piece." Fluttershy said kneeling to her.
Sweetie took a breath and nods. Fluttershy smiles and stood back up. She suck Sweetie Belle up and fire her into the hole. Sweetie Belle grab the rotor and ran down to another hole and drop to the floor below. Fluttershy met her there and took the gear and place it in her 'special' bag.
"I can't believe I touch a clock piece. I think I'm going to be sick. Can we get out of here please? This place is started to give me the creeps." Sweetie Belle said started to grow tried of the place.
"Sure! Might as well return to the room I first come in to get out of here." Fluttershy answer and thought.
They climb the stairs and through the top door and re-enter the Gear Chamber. The rode the belt to the other side and walk to the door leaning to the Service Elevator. Once in there Fluttershy notices a blanket that she miss earlier and remove to see a mirror with a Gem on it. She turn around and saw the Gem across from her. Sweetie Belle look as well and saw the Gem too.
"Wow! Rarity would love that!" Sweetie said knowing how much Rarity loves Gems.
"Well I be collect them since I started Ghost Hunting again." Fluttershy said.
"Well then lets get it." Sweetie Belle said and Fluttershy nods in agreement.
Once more, Fluttershy suck up Sweetie Belle and fire her over to the Gem. Sweetie grab the Gem a step on a gear pad to boucle back to the other side. She gave the Gem to Fluttershy and her Ghost Looker Theme play. "Hello?"
"Fluttershy there you are, did you get the Rotor?" Ghost Studies ask.
"Yes, me and Sweetie are ready to come back now." Fluttershy said.
"Yes of course. I'll have the Princesses bring you both back." Ghost Studies said before the view turn off.
"Wait! Did he say the Princesses are going to bring us back?" Sweetie Belle ask.
"Yes, and don't worry. It is safe." Fluttershy smile.
Fluttershy jump for joy as her mission was complete. She open her Ghost Looker and saw her score. Then she and Sweetie Belle was brought back to the shack.
Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle both appear in the shack and landed on their flanks.
Rarity scoop up Sweetie and gave her a big hug.
"Thank goodness you safe.", Rarity said before turning to her shy friend, "Thank very much Fluttershy."
"You're welcome." Fluttershy smile and stood up.
"Well let empty the Ghost Seeker 5000 and look over what we got so far." 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 vaunt.
Ghost Studies turn away for a few seconds and then turn back.
"I want look over this new Ghost real fast, there something about it that seems interesting about it." Ghost Studies said.
"Very well, but don't take too long." Celestia said and Ghost Studies nods.
"So Sweetie Belle, how you like the Clock Tower?" Apple Bloom ask.
The word clock made Sweetie Belle jump out of Rarity hooves and hind behind Fluttershy.
"What wrong Sweetie Belle?" Rarity ask.
"During her time in the portrait. Sweetie Belle as got a fear around clocks." Fluttershy answer.
"Oh my!" Rarity said.
"Ok? That weird." Rainbow said.
"And I was hoping Celestia and Luna will cure her from it." Fluttershy added.
"Of course, A fear of clocks isn't too hard to remove." Celestia said and Sweetie Belle step forward.
