Chapter 5: Aging Element Evolution
Suddenly within Pinkamena's dream, Golden Heart was struggling from what was the dark flames pulling him....Until suddenly, the place in the realm shakes like crazy and a crashing sound is heard. Golden Heart finds himself in an empty floating area of darkness,
"Hugh? What's going on here? What was that just now?" Golden Heart asked from not having a clue what just happened, first he was being taken somewhere, now he's stopped in an empty hollow area of his sister's mind; did something happened here, or...
"OKAY! WHOEVER DONE THAT WILL SUFFER DEARLY AND A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH NOW!" The sudden scary female voice just got even scary when she was yelling across the entire dream realm. "I NEED TO REDO THE SCARY DARK REALM STUFF AGAIN!" The evil female voice was snapping out into the skies, almost blaming an unforeseen interference that was not a part of what she was doing,
"Okay, either this voice has lost all senses or something must have happened in the Wake World," Golden Heart raised an eyebrow in what just even happened now. Did whatever happened mean that it came outside the Dream World, did something happened with Pinkamena's body? If so, what happened to Lorcan & the others?
"Okay, and......ACTION!" The scary female voice calmly spoke like a director before signaling things like they were to start up again.
And just like that, the space started to show white warp lines and then spiraling in pulling the golden stallion whose was then caught in the dark fire again.
"Not A-GAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNN!" Golden Heart was heard screaming out from being taken by whatever was doing this, all over again.
Now things were restarted strangely to play out usually, like the disturbance never happened. And as stated before, what horrors wait, can Goldie survive, etc. etc., we heard this before. And as it plays out how it happened earlier, the scene where everything goes dark happens, again, before things continue later....
---------------------------------
"Ohhh....my head." Lorcan groans, waking up with a big headache. He, Discord, Omega, and Harvis begins recovering from Amon's attack, unaware as to what has happened.
"Wake the buck up!" Michael Trotter snaps as he kicks Lorcan, causing him to yelp.
"Okay, okay, stupid! I'm up! What happened?"
"I heard a noise in here and came to investigate. What are you doing sleeping and why the buck are Golden Heart and Pinkamena like that?"
"It appeared someone has attacked us while we were helping Golden Heart help Pinkamena." Omega said in concern. "Don't know who it is."
"I hate it when I got snuck up on." Discord growls as he stretches a bit. "Makes me think I am a weakling."
"Hang on; I need to check on something." Havis said in concern as he heads away for a moment. After a while, the Light Elf came back. "Okay, everything else is fine, especially him."
"Hmmm, looks like an unknown enemy has attacked us without warning. We better make sure this room is double secured in the future." Lorcan said with a frown. Whoever is responsible for the attack, help nothing to chance.
The door was knocked as Omega open it. The door reveal Flare Tiger as Omega stared at her with caution, Flare Tiger noticed it.
Flare Tiger bowed while speaking, "Ah had come here, to help Pinkamena."
Havis heard as he walked over to Flare Tiger. The Light Elf asked, "And who you might be?"
Flare Tiger smiled while explaining, "Ah, Ignis Amras Valge Halo Slayer, or Havis for short! Ah'm Flare Tiger, Ah had come to help Golden Heart recovered Pinkamena."
Havis shocked said, "You.... you knew my full name... I think she proved it. Then come with me."
Havis led Flare Tiger to the bedroom as they see Pinkamena lay there with breath labor.
Havis spoke sadly, "I'm worried for her survival..."
Flare Tiger nodded as she says, "Then, leave it to this."
Flare Tiger held up to show the Rainbow Prism to Havis. As he nodded then Flare Tiger walked over to Pinkamena and put the Rainbow Prism on her crest and cast her magic on it. The Rainbow Prism glow brightly as it entered Pinkamena's body while Havis awed at it.
Flare Tiger sighed, "Now, the rest is up to her and Golden Heart."
-----------------------
Soon the blackness began to lift a bit, as the entire scenery was again shifted into something of a more eerie plain of existence. And finding himself from his defensive stance & hooves crossing his face and wings over his body…was Golden Heart. He looks around in slowly settling, but not too much, of where his currency location is now, other than it being inside Pinkamena’s dream world. Last he recalled that happen before the shake was him being taken to another place by a creepy laughter & familiar dark flames. All of which equal that he may be closer to the source that’s keeping his sister from waking up, now the question remains…can he fix it? And the weirdest part was some background music being heard to fit the creepy atmosphere: sounded like Teikoku No Sakubou from Digimon Xros Wars: Music Code.
“Ugh…what happened? And just where am I now?” Golden Heart asked in looking around, but found he was not in the same area as before or if it was even safe.
“Isn’t it obvious? Hehehehahahaha….” A playful if not very wickedly evil cackle voice was responding from a distance within this area.
Then without warning, the dark fire from before began to ignite around a small area where a dark mist was forming over it. The mist of darkness began to take shape of a pony mare type with a familiar feature style. She looked like the same pale, light grayish raspberry color fur as Pinkie Pie if not somewhat darken looking, somewhat same brilliant raspberry mane color form, but it’s more like a crazy mess style and even for the tail, like a pony that doesn’t even takes care of looking nice (and it almost looks like….the red color of….blood). And the eyes, they may look like Pinkie Pie’s light cerulean color, but they are small & narrow in watching those like a hawk about to corner the prey, or like a snake about to strike. And on the flank of this pony was not of balloons like the original Pinkie Pie or even Pinkamena, it was instead a machete knife. And what’s more, there were red marks on her hooves, on her head and some splattered on her flank that look like a spill, but from that machete knife mark…it almost makes one think it’s…gulp….blood from helpless victims.
“What the….who are you?” Golden Heart yelped in seeing this unusual pony that looks like Pinkie Pie…but even creepier and more…evil looking.
“Awwww, don’t you recognize your old pal, Pinkie Pie?” The creepy looking Pinkie Pie spoke in sounding like it’s presenting to be innocent.
“Not the kinda Pinkie Pie that gives me the willies.” Golden Heart raised an eyebrow in stating a fact of seeing this pink pony is no way, no how, normal.
“Too true; I suppose I am her and yet…I am not her.” The creepy Pinkie Pie responded in stating a fact here.
“Alright then…so just…who are you then?” Golden Heart asked off with a stern face in getting to the point.
“Ah, my name….how I earn it? It was on a day in which I’ll never forget!” The different Pinkie Pie responded in memorizing a fact of what happened to her that she came to be. “The day I came into existence, I was made from the evil that makes…me.” She replied with an evil smile in stating this fact that was easy to see.
“The evil; Wait…you couldn’t be…?” Golden Heart gasped in almost not believing it, was this pony…the evil that the gang saw get split from the relic disc both Pinkie Pies touched?
“Yes, the two split evil sides of both Pinkie Pie & Pinkamena.” The creepy Pinkie Pie explained with an evil smile never fading off her lips. “When I was born, I had one thing in my mind…..cupcakes!” She proclaimed forth in what was the thing on her mind.
“Um, pardon?” Golden Heart looked confused in hearing such a thing; that sounds like what the normal Pinkie Pie does.
“I had a hankering for cupcakes, so I went to try and make some.” The creepy pink pony explained her little side story for the stallion here. “They were good, but it was missing something. It was missing me having ponies over to make cupcakes.” She issued off in what was missing that she figured out, having guests over to cook with her meal dishes.
“Wait, so you were only wanting to gather ponies to give them cupcakes?” Golden Heart asked off in thinking that this pony just wanted to invite friends for a treat.
“Give them? Hehehehahahaha,” The creepy Pinkie Pie responded with an sinisterly evil cackle that freak out anyone’s mind.
“O….kay, evil laughter like that, can’t be good.” Golden Heart raised an eyebrow slowly in seeing that display meant something bad.
“I discovered my true inner purpose, two sides of evil, a desire to do unexpected and crazy things, I made cupcakes….” The creepy Pinkie Pie was issuing off to explain herself before…coming to the finale. “By using real LIVE ponies in the mix!” She made a crazy psycho face in saying she used living ponies in her cupcakes.
“WHAAAAAT,” Golden Heart screamed out loud in shock and horror in hearing this.
“Oh dear Celestia, that’s even more disgusting than I could have ever imagined by chaos meanings!” Discord’s voice was heard from the eye cam in being completely disgusted by such things that are too chaotic to picture even for him.
“Actions are too much for drive to compute.” Omega’s voice issued off in feeling that such logic is too much for him to handle.
"There you guys are. What happened out there?" Golden Heart ask the ones remaining behind, wanting to know what has happened that caused the shakeup.
"Someone attacked us but we're okay."
“That aside, Goldie, I think those leftover dark mist things from those ponies were of the dark nature of Pinkie Pie herself.” Lorcan’s voice explained that what they saw got split from the Pies were indeed evil sides, and they are seeing one that is an existence.
“Caution friend, if what Lorcan says true, you’re facing what maybe the dark twisted version of such a creature.” Havis the Light Elf’s voice spoke with caution in seeing this maybe a more serious matter with a lune foe before the brave stallion.
“I know.” Golden Heart responded in being serious here, especially with the crazy pony killer here. “So then, are you some kinda psychopath version of the normal random Pinkie Pie?” He asked off in wanting an answer to his question here.
“In a word, yes; that’s why I’m known as….Psycho Pie!” The creepy looking Pinkie Pie finally revealed herself by her name to all. “But of course, that’s the name the two of us have come into terms with.” She pointed out in making this statement about such a matter.
“Two?” Golden Heart looked lost & confused, how are there two of these Psycho Pies?
“When I was created by the accident, one piece of me still remain, but was connected to the original.” Psycho Pie responded off in making a statement of being the one side of the real version; the one that lives in Pinkamena. “Yes, and you can guess which pony it was.” She made an evil smirk in knowing that the answer was obvious.
“You don’t mean…” Golden Heart gasped upon realizing, she must be the evil side of Pinkamena that is the living evil entity trying to take control. “Where is she; where’s my sister, Pinkamena?” He snapped off in demand, wanting to know what this evil pony of existence did to the one he calls a sister.
“Oh, you mean the broken version of Pinkie Pie?” Psycho Pie asked off in pretending like the name was something she couldn’t recall much of, much to anyone’s annoyance of patience. “Right…here.” She gestured to a direction just behind herself for those to see.
Then a sudden void tunnel of blackness opened up, and soon an area was seen where a little circle center of light is seen. And right there was a pony figure that was stuck in the pit of darkness, huddling herself while she was apparently muttering something. This was none other than….
“Pinkamena,” Golden Heart shouted out, but his sister never seems to have heard his worry cries.
“I don’t wanna become like Psycho Pie. I can’t, I don’t wanna be like her.” Pinkamena was muttering to herself in her sorrow pleas in her huddle state. “I don’t wanna be shallow into darkness by her shadow to become her.” She was in the most terrified state of an emotion never seen by any other pony until now.
Golden Heart soon rushed in to the dark tunnel to comfort Pinkamena by holding his hooves around his sister’s seemingly petrified condition.
“It’s okay Pinkamena, you don’t have to be afraid of her shadow to swallow you whole.” Golden Heart tries to calmly explain to his worried sister that he sense her deepest fear was becoming like Psycho Pie.
“No Goldie, it’s no use….I’ve tried, but it’s no use.” Pinkamena shook her head from still being in her huddle state to not look at her brother in making a protest to the object of the talk. “I’m tired of it all. Being ageless & lasting so long, the pain never leaves me. So I never managed to escape from my past.” Pinkamena spoke from feeling such sorrow and grief, it felt like it was consuming her. “Even after overcoming obstacles before me, my greatest fear of all times….it still haunts me.” She buried herself into herself to not be seen by anyone’s sight of her pathetic sight. “It haunts me of the inedible of me becoming?” Pinkamena whispered in feeling so lonely about becoming an evil version of Psycho Pie that it tortured her to know end of the day she’ll become her own worst enemy that’s a part of her dark side.
Golden Heart had never seen his sister become so frail, so fragile, so scared that it’s almost like he’s talking to the wrong pony. But he knew that Pinkamena would never lie when it was something so horrible that she could not lie about it; the stallion and those that were hearing & saw this almost felt sorrow for the poor soul from her suffering. Then with a sudden look of seriousness, the golden stallion stops hugging his scared sister to stand up, and gaze with hard eyes at the one responsible for Pinkamena’s suffering; the phantom figure of her nightmares, Psycho Pie. And it was around here, that the earlier background music ceases at this time. Then it was replaced with a new background soundtrack: Berserker ~ VS Berserk (Extended) by Wild Arms Alter Code: F.
“YOU!” Golden Heart snaps out loud in looking very angry at this moment towards Psycho Pie. “You will release my sister from whatever evil torture you’re doing to her!” He instructs i commanding this phantom being of his sister’s fears let her go at once, or else.
“Heheheheeh-Hahahah, Whahaahahha,” Psycho Pie laughs off like an insane lune, irritating Goldie before calming down. “Stop it? I hold control here!” She proclaimed in being the one to control Pinkamena’s mind & body now. “And my power has grown more thanks to the dark flame that Pinkamena inhaled so much of, it’s allowing me, the evil side to gain control at last. And even that of an Alicorn level can’t beat something that’s connected to Pinkamena’s heart & soul.” The evil Pinkie Pie wannabe exclaimed that she’s far more powerful than the others could even imagine. “You may as well face facts…..I’m becoming the new owner and the old owner, is dropping out.” She declared that this was her rising to take control of Pinkamena’s life and make her become a psycho killer…just like Psycho Pie is.
“NOT AS LONG AS I STAND!” Golden Heart shouted off in feeling about having done enough talking.
Then the golden fur coat stallion charged forth after magically summoning his beam saber sword into his hooves. Psycho Pie saw this before she quickly dodged to her right when Goldie swung his weapon. And then Golden Heart used his wings to fly and performed charged maneuvers to swing his beam saber, but Psycho Pie was just dodging them left and right and making a creepy grin like she’s enjoying this. Golden Heart soon fired a magic spell from his horn that blasted the evil pony back, but when it was over, Psycho Pie stood up, feeling unbothered by what happened to her.
“Hah! You think that if Pinkamena couldn’t beat me, you can?” Psycho Pie taunts off in seeing this golden looking stallion try to defeat her in Pinkamena’s mind.
“I know I can! You’re nothing but a small part of her she doesn’t need and your whole side isn’t here to give you an edge!” Golden Heart declared that this essence of Psycho Pie is but a small fraction of the real deal, so he alone should defeat her; Right?
“Oh, so you think just cause I’m the phantom spook inside Pinkamena, I don’t have much power? Well, sorry to say…but your wrong.” Psycho Pie rolled her eyes in stating that such facts are not going to help this hero win. “Thanks to Grimmore’s dark power, I’m not a normal Psycho Pie around here that you believe to win against.” She stated that she herself can now gain far greater power than ever before even if she’s not the whole that’s outside in the living world as she speaks.
Then suddenly, large swarms of dark fire emerge around Psycho Pie’s dream version and were swallowed whole. Golden Heart couldn’t tell if the evil flames were destroying the problem for him….boy was it proven wrong. Instead, the Dark Inferno was infusing it’s self into Psycho Pie’s very coat skin, the steam was soaking and changing the coat’s color and the flames seem to merge and burn off a few parts of the tail & mane while adding something; especially twisting the Cutie Mark. Once it was all over and the burning flames died out, did Goldie & those watching witness a transformation. A pony mare with grayish violet fur coat, cut down laid back mane with a hand-band & firm long tail that were silver-gray color, and her eyes were yellow. The markings on her hooves, her forehead & on her flank were dark crimson red (almost like dry blood), and appears to have dark freckles on her cheeks and pointy drop ears. On her flank was not like Pinkie Pie’s balloons or Psycho Pie’s machete, but was marked like a dark-violet heart with a cross dagger-like wings in symbolizing it’s evil nature, even for a Cutie Mark. The weapon she holds seems like a dark violet machete with light blue designs on the handle & the outer blade line while the Nightmare symbol is center on the blade itself, matching her Cutie Mark symbol. Truly this was no longer the Psycho Pie that Golden Heart and those watching were expecting to see this from her infusion of Grimmore’s Dark Inferno.
“Hehehehehehhahahaha….prepare to meet your end, Goldie Boy; for now you’re facing a new transformed version of the real thing,” The newly transformed nightmare version of Psycho Pie spoke from an evil violet aura showing around her. “I am now….Phantom Psycho Pie, the Nightmare Demon Pony! I shall feast on innocent ponies’ dreams from their heart’s attached memories and grow stronger with each one!” This new pony of a specter phantom announce in who and what she has become now.
“Boy, I did NOT see this one coming.” Golden Heart issued off in feeling a bit freaked out by this sudden new changed Psycho Pie that’s worst off than before.
“Neither did any of us! I didn’t think she infuse herself with the flames!” Lorcan’s voice spoke with deep thought of caution, the enemy has gone through a transformation using the dark fire that was the evil flame created by Grimmore.
“That’s almost more chaotic than even my wildest imagination!” Discord’s voice stated in feeling very shaken up, the enemy has done something crazy.
“Scans show that even as an astral form, her power has increased tenfold!” Omega’s voice issues in sensing how strong the new Psycho Pie has become.
“You mustn’t be discouraged friend, if you lose her, we may lose you both.” Havis the Light Elf’s voice spoke in concern caution, that if Golden Heart loses the battle, then he and Pinkamena are both goners.
“And lose him you shall,” Phantom Psycho Pie mutters while wielding her weapon to begin her…’fun’ activity.
The act was far faster than the hero stallion expected, as this phantom foe launched herself to deliver a swing. “Clashpowwfruvhmmm….” That one hit against Goldie’s saber ended up knocking him backwards from a tremendous force behind the attack that caught him off guard.
“Hehehehahahah,” Phantom Psycho Pie was seen laughing maniacally in seeing the surprise look.
“Okay, I didn’t see that one coming neither. She’s stronger from the dark fire, how can I deal with that?” Golden Heart spoke in keeping himself on guard, the enemy here is far stronger than they expected.
“You’ll have to think of something. And be quick, cause here she comes again!” Discord’s voice spoke with worry in seeing that the enemy was again coming at the gold stallion with another attack.
“Psycho Savage,” Phantom Psycho Pie was soon swiping at her opponent with a flaming hoof just now if Goldie didn’t dodge in time.
“Yikes! I’ve heard of getting a burn hoof, but this is ridiculous!” Golden Heart yelped from almost being cooked, this foe is not playing around.
“Phantom Slash,” Phantom Psycho Pie vanished before attacking with her Phantom Blade to just give Goldie a little cut.
“Ouch! Man that stings and I’m not in a physical body.” Golden Heart cringed from the piano he felt just now, even as an astral being, that still hurt.
“Remember, you can be hurt there.” Lorcan’s voice spoke in reminding his friend of the dangers that he’s in.
“Then I’ll just have to take it up another notch!” Golden Heart stated with a determine look in seeing he’ll have to up his game play.
Then Golden Heart charged in with his wings max speed to deliver the first strike.
“Phantom Wall,” Phantom Psycho Pie announced to where she created an invisible magical barrier wall shaped like a circle.
In that sudden contact of the hero’s beam saber, it bounced him back since the barrier stopped his physical attacks from reaching the target.
“Darn! I didn’t think you had such a move!” Golden Heart cured to hold his weapon, he almost thought this dream phantom foe didn’t have a way to counter melee moves, but she apparently does.
“Then you’ll really HATE this one! Huuaaghhhh,” Phantom Psycho Pie smirked evilly before taking a big breath just now.
“Alert, enemy is about to unleash a dangerous attack.” Omega’s voice was heard from the Eye of Discord, alerting of some cautious attempt on the stallion’s behalf.
“What kinda danger?” Golden Heart asked in wanting to know, only he was about to learn it…the hard way.
“Crimson Mist,” Phantom Psycho Pie spoke off from finishing her breathing moment before now…exhaling her attack. “Prrusssfrisisivhmm…” She soon opened her mouth & spew out a thick red, acidic mist.
The stuff was approaching fast; Goldie flew off as fast as he could to avoid the stuff touching him. But that fast enough as he lean too much to his left when going up right, that some part of that attack singed his feathers on that wing side.
“Yeeeeooowwwwch,” Golden Heart yelled out loud in pain, but kept flying until he landed elsewhere to check the damage that burn him so. “Ah, man, that stuff really stings the wings even by a feather’s edge.” He held his left wing that from the feather section got touched by that deadly acid mist; that was seriously some twisted stuff.
“Yep, makes excellent use to making cupcakes, by melting the flesh of my victims before baking, wouldn’t you say?” Phantom Psycho Pie smiled wickedly in thinking the move of hers was perfect in her cooking of real ponies into cupcakes.
“I say, you need a new cooking method.” Golden Heart remarked off to issue that this pony is loco-crazy. “Time you got a taste of some magic!” He was focusing his magic around his horn to prepare this one strong spell to do the job , “Unicorn Burst!” He announced out to aim his horn to fire the strongest spell to perch through even the enemy’s defense.
“Prrussfrusvhmmm….” Soon Goldie fired a piercer spell beam heading right for the target that couldn’t move….or would she have? “Kampowwwfruvhmmmm….” And soon the attack exploded right on sight, wiping away everything around the area.
“Did it work? She didn’t dodge, so it must have hit her hard.” Golden Heart asked off in pondering if that move managed to finally do the even phantom of his sister’s soul.
“Memory Lost Melody.” The evil mare’s voice was heard from the smoke clouds as a sudden spell circle appeared below Goldie and it seem to affect him…greatly.
“Urrraaagh,” Golden Heart groaned from the spell before it faded, and then from the smoke clouds, Phantom Psycho Pie appeared as what inflicted damage to him seem to restore her health. “Wha….did you do…?” He asked off in struggling with his words, what did this foe do to him to feel hurt & weak?
“Hehehehahahaha, silly; I stole your health to heal me and grow stronger.” Phantom Psycho Pie laughs off evilly in issuing what she did that was downright devious, “That and some of your portion memories of Pinkamena. I have to say, you seem like you try to help some pony that’s bound to be as she should; a deadly KILLING Machine!” She stated from seeing the memory that she taken from Golden Heart, he cares much for Pinkamena even though she should be like another evil Pinkie Pie type like the real Psycho Pie.
“She is NOT like you or the real Psycho Pie, wherever she is!” Golden Heart snaps to protest the statement of his sister not being like this enemy.
“Why not just give up and leave, course, you’ll die in the wake world once I’m in control of the body.” Phantom Psycho Pie issued a choice for the pony intruder to save himself by leaving Pinkamena’s dream world, course in the end, he be dead either way.
“No way, I won’t accept this! I refuse to be beaten by a phantom phony like you!” Golden Heart snaps off to protest about leaving his sister to some evil phony span of another pony.
“PHONY!” Phantom Psycho Pie snapped off loud in seeing this pony was pushing his luck. “It appears your manners to mares need some teaching!” She stated in seeing that behavior is no way to treat a lady.
“I’ll do that when I’m actually in front of a decent lady.” Golden Heart remarked off in stating that this Psycho Pie pony is no way a lady nor ever was.
“Grrrr…..” Phantom Psycho Pie growls in feeling infuriated now. “Devastate!” She shouts off in preparing another spell to take place.
“Frsusuvhmmm…Trisisvhhmm….” Soon something of a magic glows around Goldie, before a bright flash happens that inflicted devastating damage to him.
“Urrraaaughh,” Golden Heart cringed to hold his sides, feeling the devastating pain, that one may hurt, a lot.
“Golden Heart, you need to step back a bit and recovery.” Havis the Light Elf’s voice spoke in trying to get the stallion to try to recover himself.
“Nrrrrugh, I would if I could.” Golden Heart moans from his aching self, this phantom foe is no joke.
“You don’t get it, do you Goldie boy?” Phantom Psycho Pie remarked off in staring at the near fallen opponent of hers. “I’ve been inside her all this time, since the beginning. It was only upon the death of the original Pinkie Pie of our alternate world that I’ve slowly been acting.” She declared that she has slowly been active ever since Pinkamena lost her true friend Pinkie Pie from the time work of age.
Some nearby memory bubbles floated around the two fighters while showing some events. That Pinkamena soon awoken to find her expression changed from having terrible nights after Pinkie Pie’s passing of old age, like she…snapped. And soon went off to perfect crazy deeds that started small before slowly working upwards.
“When Pinkamena tried to live life, I’ve been secretly controlling her without noticing too much change, making her strive to a darker path.” Phantom Psycho Pie explained while the scenery shows Pinkamena developing an unusual behavior that was a slow path…to becoming dark. “Hehehehahahahaha, it was also I that had us find a spell to travel outside our world to enter another…where a Pinkie Pie & the Mane Six’s group are still alive. It grew bored in our world, so we invaded.” The evil mare narrated on what took place while she guided Pinkamena from a past moment in her life to leave the world they existed & came from to approach….a new world by a spell book she obtain.
Another scene shows a portal opening that soon released Pinkamena into a new alternative world before closing. There, she saw what was around and witness those of the world.
“It was the first stage to our ‘Cupcake’ event, and where we were gonna have some….’fuuuuun’ with dear old Dashie.” Phantom Psycho Pie narrated in what scene shows Pinkamena having a Rainbow Dash in a dungeon room, preparing a little something for her. “And we had so much fun torturing, making sweaters out of their coats and turning them into cupcakes, Pinkamena had believed it was a path that she had fallen into.” The evil mare narrated in where a shadow figure shows the scenes of the acts that followed that were too cruel to be seen, but Golden Heart & those that did see it, almost gasp in horror.
Then another scene was changed in the bubble of what event took place next.
“But soon the world we invaded grew bored again, so we left after finishing off some business to invade another, but then a problem rose.” Phantom Psycho Pie narrated off in what events played out in them arriving in the world they are currently in, but some unexpected force waves of unexpected magic was set off that effected Pinkamena. “Through some chaotic moment that took place & some miracle magic, it suddenly snapped Pinkamena’s senses a bit.” The scene shows that Pinkamena was ceasing some action to look confused, unsure about the feeling that she was in. “She still had her creepy habit, but when she met the Pinkie Pie of your world, the mare made a secret dungeon to protect her. Just before we were gonna slowly plan a repeat of our Cupcake event…” Phantom Psycho Pie explained from where the scene shows what happened to Pinkamena in meeting a world Pinkie Pie counterpart while not effected at first of seeing a familiar face, and just as they were about to do some evil, something a mist happened.
“Only it never started, did it?” Golden Heart sternly stated this out to the evil mare about her plan not going as expected.
“Grrr…..we almost would have done so and with Dashie again, but she was stopped!” Phantom Psycho Pie growled in seeing the different scene in where Pinkamena almost finished off Rainbow Dash, but she blundered cause the ‘evil’ part of her, the Psycho Pie part, wasn’t strong enough & in control, that she didn’t do as much killing as she was supposed to do. “And then ever since then, was kept lock in the dungeon, and while trapped…began to think…why was she acting evil? Why do such cruel & horror things to innocent ponies?” The phantom mare was starting to sound like she lose it from what happened to Pinkamena, she began to lose her insanity to become mostly sane again. “Slowly, but surely, I’ve began to lose my hold and soon, she started to find a way to escape and instead of killing ponies, she just played games.” The next memory scene shows Pinkamena using her Brrrrs on some ponies and never really harming them so much, just toying with them while beating her enemies. “And before then she met ‘you’ many years ago, like having the other Pinkie Pie be friends to her, you started to make her have a change of heart even though it started out slowly!” The enemy glared that if not for Goldie’s meeting, Phantom Psycho Pie could have tried to regain control, but after Pinkamena had another caring pony besides another Pinkie Pie to understand her….the evil hold began to crumble earlier and further.
“Then I’m glad she met me, she doesn’t wanna be you!” Golden Heart sternly issued in making this profound statement of his.
“She is everlasting; all things will die around her, so why not kill for a living!” Phantom Psycho Pie argued that no one else will be around, why make attachments when it’s more senseless violence to cut them where they stand.
“Because that’s not her reason and neither was the promise she made to the Pinkie Pie of her world!” Golden Heart protests in making his own debate over the matter at hand here. “She may have lived long without aging, but she has a place to come back to. A home,” He declared that even though Pinkamena never ages and can outlive anyone, there is still a home for her to come back to.
“SHE HAS NO HOME! SHE HAS NO ONE!” Phantom Psycho Pie shoos off loud in annoyance, this stallion just doesn’t get that she was meant to be a psycho killing machine.
“She does, you just don’t want her to see it!” Golden Heart yells out in protest against the enemy for taking advantage of his sister’s misguidance. “And I’ll fight you as long as I can to prove that she doesn’t want OR need you, her REAL friends & love ones do!” Goldie declared that he’ll make Pinkamena se it, that she is not alone, she doesn’t need to be a loose psycho, she can find happiness by having friends and those that care for her no matter who or what she is, it’s all about the inside of her heart that counts.
As the fighting continues, Pinkamena stares up from her huddle state within the void she’s alone in, seeing her brother struggle so much for her sake. She was seeing Golden Heart in not being afraid to face something that has haunted her for ages & could never be beaten by her own hooves. Despite the odds, Golden Heart won’t give up.
“Age is true to being everlasting, but Goldie…all things will meet an end since they never last long.” Pinkamena silently spoke of knowing of the inedible that comes with the passing of age for all but those that have semi-immortality. “That is what the time of age stands for, things that grow the passing, things begin to wither, but it’s known that they were once around. But none care for such old things; they live & perish and see those that stay the same, fearing those that are not Alicorns to be cursed Demons…like me.” She was laying the stuff pretty thick in seeing she has no choice, she’ll remain ageless while seeing others go and others think she’s a monster that has lived too long.
Then having enough, Psycho Pie’s phantom charged to attack Golden Heart. But the hero managed to block and counterattack to repel the assaults while he took the chance to get through to his sister.
“Pinkamena, listen to me! Not all things are bad from time’s passing.” Golden Heart shouted out while fighting the enemy to speak to his sister who’s still trapped in her own doubt. “Aging is like that, one just needs to accept it & just live with the present, even after living forever to recall things in the past & bring it up for the future, time is something to take control of to make one’s own destiny.” Golden Heart exclaimed the matter of what was something the pony does not understand. “You’ve proven that by not forgetting the Pinkie Pie of your world and have fought hard.” He issued in recalling how Pinkamena has kept remembering her special friend even after leaving by her limit on life. “Remember when we met?” He shouts out in wanting his sister to remember how they met.
The scene shows a nearby dream portal near Pinkamena, as it begins to reflect events. It shows the event where Golden Heart was handling a large pack of Ursa Majors & Minors. The stallion was fighting hard and valiantly, but the creatures were too much for one solely Alicorn to do. But when he was almost attacked from behind, daggers were thrown across the air that soon cut the big beast to back away. Goldie soon became surprise to see a new pony, and Earth mare fighting with skills & strength and swordsmanship against the Ursa packs.
“Remember when you and I met, during an Ursa event, during that time, I wasn’t bothered by your appearance, not once.” Golden Heart narrated while the events played off to where the battle was over and soon the gold stallion met with the pink pony that at first was worried of his reaction, but he smiled while awaiting to shake her hoof; much to her surprise & shock that he was not terrified of her. “After that, we started to become BFFs, Best Friends Forever.” As Goldie narrated, the scene shows Pinkamena beginning to show a happy smile on her face that hasn’t been seen as an honest one in so long.
That memory was soon moving along to another event that was playing out; One where an Ursa Major crashed against a mountain side while not watching. It revealed a secret area and a secret treasure sealed from within it. Pinkamena & Golden Heart became curious of the discovery to explore the discovered sight. It was an armor of its appearance being a different style than of the Royal Guards from Canterlot, light pink color coating, very smooth surface from the front protection on the legs with straps in the back, to a body cover with the chest forming like a 'V' blossom flower. The helmet is a different design from the Royal Guards as its more mare style with a hole for the mane to slip through. As for the symbol on the helmet, it represents the features of a hawk. From the bottom edge where the tail comes out & from the helmet for the mane, even around the waistline is a light-blue & tan yellow stripe line.
“You even found the lost Horsefeather Armor afterwards when one of the Ursa Majors that retreated, smashed through a secret buried site where the hidden treasure was kept seal.” As Golden Heart narrates, the two of the past unlock the seal to have Goldie magically levitate the armor near them for the two to study. “It was said to have been a tale that my family has told me, that one of my ancestors wore the armor & was known as the Bird of Prey, but after his departure, no pony had been able to wear it because they had to earn it by proving themselves & their loyalty by defending the Alicorn royalty.” The Goldie in the memory touched the armor to understand it, and then pulled back, but when Pinkamena touched it…something from her seem to give the armor a strange magical sense of activation. “I first thought the armor was meant for me, but when you approached it, I felt magic as if stating you were worthy to wear it. And so I entrusted you with the armor as proof of our friendship & of loyalty you’ve shown.” The Goldie of the past smiled to give the armor that the two found, to the mare whose saved his life by helping in the Ursa problem.
Pinkamena felt so surprised that she was left speechless, lost for words that this new pony she met and became her newest friend, was trusting her with a valuable gift. She had not experienced that since…her late old friend Pinkie Pie from her world. She let loose a tear before hugging the stallion, catching him off guard before he return the hug, happy to have earn her trust.
“Ever since then, you’ve secretly helped in our battles against hard opponents. With or without the armor, you were strong; you didn’t let any evil win.” Golden Heart narrates in other event scenes in the memory bubble that took place. “You fought hard to take control of your own destiny no matter what you look like or how others reacted.” The Pinkamena seen was shown not to be pushed around, as she fought to her hardest. “Those like me, Celestia, Luna, any of us Alicorns deal with the hardships of seeing mortal ponies leave because they can’t live forever, but keeping the memories we shared and treasure every last one of them will encourage us to move forward & to never look back and give up on their feelings! We develop a bound in which we felt like family.” Goldie explained everything to the pink pony about getting pass the tough spots, and trying to overcome them instead of letting such sadness bring her down.
Hearing those words spoke from Golden Heart seem to give a new message to the pink pony who’s suffering the most with a difficult decision on what to do.
"Remember...remember..." Voices are heard as Pinkamena saw memories of her past influencing those she has known like in the age of Ponyland to her times on Equestria.
“Take control…of our own destiny?” This made Pinkamena’s eyes raises up little by little, slowly understanding everything now. “The age of hardship & suffering of living agelessly maybe a burden, but…remembering friends & love ones, and being with those everlasting, can help even a poor misguided & distinguished soul like….myself."
Finally, enough was enough of who was speaking to aid a poor soul and guess by whom.
“Enough of your foolish chatter of nonsense,” Phantom Psycho Pie shouted in starting to get angry at the hero trying to make a difference, time to put him in his place, “Screaming Darkness!” She announces out loud the next move of her attacks, “GRUUUOORRAAARRRRUGHHHHH!” Soon out of nowhere, she fires an extremely high-temperature beam from her mouth.
Goldie quickly cast a shield to protect him as it takes the hit. “Kurpowwfrushvmmm….” But the shield couldn’t last and soon the guy was completely taking the last little beating.
“Uurraarrughhhhh,” Golden Heart lets out a wailing cry from feeling the pain to unleash his own scream in the kids.
Soon the moment ends before all seems clear now. But during the moment, Goldie completely falls to the ground, using his beam sword to keep himself from toppling completely. He seems very much hurt and bruised by what he was inflicted.
“Golden Heart; You need to watch out, she’s going to get serious now!” Lorcan’s voice spoke through the eye cam of Discord, those in the wake world can this this evil specter is about to now get serious in wanting to kill their friend.
“Gee, hard to tell since she’s been overpowering me every step of the way.” Goldie Heart tried to make light of the subject with a joke, course that wasn’t gonna be any help here.
“I have verified a few solutions to countering her maneuvers, I shall explain them…” Omega’s voice spoke in wanting to give some helpful aid to their friend on the target with any valuable data in fighting her.
“I think not.” Phantom Psycho Pie appeared to kick Goldie across when he’s down and snatched the Eye of Discord from him. “Sorry boys, but he’s mine!” She stated to gaze at the cam eye in telling this issue here. “But how about I let you watch things…from inside me.” She made a sneaky sinister smile as the mare was about to open her mouth to….swallow the eyeball whole.
“Gaaaaaugh; Keep away from my Eye Cam! I rather it be destroyed than be a part of you and apart of Grimmore’s freaky power!” Discord’s voice is heard screaming to suddenly make his eye flying off the pony’s hold to quickly zoom away.
“Thrusvhmmm….” Suddenly, the evil mare performed her Phantom Slash that just sliced a bit of the eye cam to become damage before falling to the ground.
“She’s damaged the eye. Golden Heart, you have to get out of there!” Hivas the Light Elf’s voice called out to their friend in seeing they can’t be of much aid while they can watch helplessly from their side…of the enemy’s rise to victory.
Soon the enemy was approaching the down stallion as he was struggling to push himself up. Golden Heart was low on strength, he was wounded, even as an astral spirit form while this transformed phantom version of Pinkamena’s nightmares; Psycho Pie, looked like she hadn’t broken a sweat.
“Time for this royal pain in our necks to go…bye-bye….” Phantom Psycho Pie made a playful remark to her foe in seeing it’s time this hero goes away…forever. “And I know just the way to corner a rat in a trap. Evil Flames,” She announced off in what she’ll do while preparing another attack.
“Prrusfruvhmmm….” Suddenly, the Enemy summons dark fire to which she manipulates to attack her target, but they were launched to cut off Goldie’s left & right way while leaving the back open; almost like a road with the front being a dangerous enemy.
“You’ll be burn to a crisp, slow and easy is how to cook a pony.” Phantom Psycho Pie exclaimed in seeing she’ll slowly get them burn and suffer in the every way possible. “Or if you rather avoid the slow torture, I can end your life here and now, quick and painless. For if you lose your soul here, you lose your life,” She explained the alternative that the little pony can either be killed swiftly or that he leaves now, for if his soul is no more, then he’ll lose his life in the wake world.
Golden Heart looks around, seeing his situation was indeed in a trapped state where it’s either sink or swim. Pinkamena watches from her corner in wondering what her brother would do, would he give up his very life…just for her; the answer soon came in a most shocking development.
“So my only options are either leave this dream world or perish under your twisted versions of mercy?” Golden Hart responded off with a stern sorrow face before gazing at the foe with focus determined eyes in replying to such choices. “Then I rather stand my last ground than flee to let my sister see her brother coward when she needs me most!” This sign made Pinkamena almost gasp in surprise, Goldie was gonna stay despite his own safety, all for her.
“Tch, again with the sibling thing, your hardly related, your only step brother and sister with no blood to relate you as family,” Phantom Psycho Pie huffed off in hearing such heroic talk to remotely issue that neither of the two are real brother & sister, Goldie only took in Pinkamena to give her a home, like such things matter to her. “But if that’s your choice….SO…..BE IIIIIIIIIT!” She declared in wieldling her machete in seeing it’s time to end things as they stand.
About around here is when the background music suddenly ceases being heard for the quiet moment of the next event to be played out. Now the entire scenery goes into a slow motion, as the enemy swings her blade to about chop the hero in two….Or would she?
“CLANK,” Then without warning, a blade was swung that repelled the Phantom Blade that soon pushed the phantom foe backwards in surprise. But what came out as more surprising was that Golden Heart was saved…..by Pinkamena who wielded the Sword of Pinkie Pie with a determine expression.
“Pinkamena,” Golden Heart spoke off surprised to see his sister here and saving his life at the last second.
“Whaaaaaat; How can you be here; you’re supposed to be under the everlasting effect of my Memory Lost Melody!” Phantom Psycho Pie yelped off in surprise, why was this mare here when she was last seen huddling herself. “You were so weak and helpless that you couldn’t do anything and were about to crawl in a hole, so how?” She asked in demand, how was some pony that was supposed to have been beaten able to now stand here now when she couldn’t do anything from before.
“Even if you are a phantom of my greatest fear, what I truly fear most….” Pinkamena was speaking her words with a determine expression on her face over the matter, “Is seeing a creature like YOU! A Psycho Pie, continuing to hurt innocent ponies & take away love ones.” She snapped off in what she fears more, is seeing a creature that is like the real Psycho Pie continuing to cause their evil on innocent ponies. “I’ve lived under such a frightening shadow of my other existence for FAR too long.” Pinkamena looked to her reflection in the sword she held, seeing herself and of her foe of what she was, a Psycho Pie, two sides of a coin; a dark evil side and a good side. “But now that time is up, and in this day and age, I will live with my time of ageless existence to protect those around me….” She issued off in making her statement as clear as ice, she will not be afraid of becoming a darkness, but to accept her fate of who she is and live out her life, her way, “For All the Ages to come!” Pinkamena glared with dagger eyes to the enemy, that she’ll use her ageless life to always protect innocent ponies like Golden Heart, the Mane Six, everyone from evil creatures & villains like this Psycho Pie phantom spook.
“You really don’t get it, do you? You can’t change your destiny; we ARE the evil that is Psycho Pie. And if you won’t slowly fad in sorrow to accept it, then just perish here and let me control your life FOREVER!” Phantom Psycho Pie remarked off in glaring at the stubborn pink pony that chooses to be something that her scary appearance can make others be her friend than she’ll just dispose this useless pony that won’t become another Psycho Pie. “I’ll wipe your existence away with a full blown attack….Devastate!” She announced off in preparing her dark magic to finish off the soul of the body’s user, and thereby claim it as her own to use for evil as much as she wants.
“Thrrosusvhmmm…..POWWwfrusvhmmm….” Suddenly, the strongest magic glow around Pinkamena as she could only watch before the bright flash happened that imploded in a large explosion around her position.
“PINKAMENAAAAAAAH,” Golden Heart shielded his eyes while he cried out his sister’s name in front of him of the pony that the backwind force pushed him back a bit.
“Heheheehhahahahah….” Phantom Psycho Pie laughs maniacally in seeing she’s done it, she’s won and now…this pony’s body in the wake world shall serve as the next evil Psycho Pie to kill for pleasure and enjoy every morsel.
But just then, an unexpected bright glow escaped at the moment of the dust cloud that cleared it away and even caused the dark fire to fad suddenly. And there, Phantom Psycho Pie & Golden Heart saw Pinkamena in a block position until the latter soon saw herself in some magical power she never felt before…it was warm, it felt like it protected her. Suddenly, a new background music is heard that sounded like SSJ3 Powerup from Bruce Faulconer - Best Of DBZ Vol. 04 (Dragonball Z for any that already know it and the SSJ3 is another meaning for Super Saiyan 3) that’s the extended type version here.
“Hissss…..what….is thiiiissss; that light….it shouldn’t exist here, not from all the darkness!” Phantom Psycho Pie hissed from trying to portent herself from the overwhelming light the mare was producing.
“I get it….I understand….who I truly am.” Pinkamena slowly spoke with a strange sensation around herself, as she smiled with confidence: she has understands something she’s overlooked all this time.
Then in a more dramatic moment, the brightness covers Pinkamena that almost blinds both Phantom Psycho Pie & Golden Heart’s views. And those watching from the Eye of Discord see this as much as they were.
--------------------
And from the awaken world, those near Pinkamena’s body suddenly yelp from the bright glow that began to happen from her coma body. They were blinded from the light glow from the magical portal to the mare’s dream world, and now here, something was happening.
“Attention! Unknown magical power source is registering off of Pinkamena’s body!” Omega responded in witnessing this unexpected feat here.
“It seems to be affecting the dark corruption. What could this be?” Hivas the Light Elf spoke in seeing for himself; the aria of darkness and flame seem to be retreating, almost like this power was trying to expel the virus infecting the body.
“This power, that feels like….an element type. But it can’t be….is she…?” Discord was saying this with almost a shock look over himself in seeing this; could Pinkamena actually be…could she be attempting what the four almost doubt is real?
“It would appear she really is like the original Pinkie Pie, surprising us to no end.” Lorcan nods in making that answer as clear as can be; this was a surprise they never expected to happen during such a critical moment.
-----------------
Back within the dream world of Pinkamena’s realm, the brightness began to shine around the eerie area.
Pinkamena’s body glowed from a flash of invisible clocks ticking of the passing of time but the sparkly particles were traveling across her body. Her body was completely covered from head to hoof as the magic soon brighten to the moment it vanished. At the moment, the glowing magic around the body was lightly slipping off to reveal some new changes. Pinkamena still appeared to be an Earth pony mare with the same Cutie Mark. But her color of coat fur became tan with very light raspberry as if giving a new bright colorful mood to the pony that lost such in the past. Then on her is a mix color of brilliant raspberry & raspberry of such colors were a mix as to her mane & tail having a newer colorful mojo than what they use to be of being their old deflated form of feeling sorrow. Then from the opening moment of her eyes, they gain a light brilliant cerulean color and they grew from their small size a bit more bigger to about the average size. Even the mouth with teeth was changed to not be sharp teeth that be scary to normal teeth size. The pony was standing up proud as she soon swirl around from feeling magical effect had completed its task, as she present herself in what by her appearance is not looking terrifying from before (especially the face), like she’s almost like she’s ‘about’ a normal pony, well almost.
“Element Evolution – Aging,” Pinkamena proudly & boldly announced forth in a cool pose in what and who she was; the given name of who she is from Element Evolution.
Soon those that saw the light work begin to dim were seeing the new form that Pinkamena has evolved into. Golden Heart was left stump, as were anyone that watched from the camera eyeball, his little sister had actually obtain an Element Form, and it was…of Aging; Hugh, go figure.
“That can’t beeeee! How can you evolve with an element if you’re from another alternate world?” Phantom Psycho Pie protest in sheer shock in seeing what can’t be possible has actually happened: Pinkamena has become an Element User.
“Because….that was an element I’ve had all along. Being ageless, there is another power to it.” Pinkamena spoke, now as Aging, stating she had such an element the whole time and didn’t become fully aware of it or its true purpose until just recently. “I didn’t realize it until I’ve been pushed to the brink of my own demise….” She spoke from looking slowly towards Goldie, who stared at his sister’s magnificent magical aura. “It took a special feeling, from those I care and love, to make me realize that….I’m never alone from the aging of time.” The mare stated with a smile as if almost seeing the old Pinkie Pie of her world near Golden Heart, and behind them, a large gathering of new friends she’s made in the world she lives in. “As long as I continue to exist, I will have those by my side and protect all ponies from evil creatures…like you.” Now the identified pony known as Aging turns to gaze with serious focus eyes at the phantom figure form of Psycho Pie as she’ll put a stop to both the nightmare & the real version now.
“Ggeeehh….” Phantom Psycho Pie gritted her teeth in not believing this, this new evolve form of Pinkamena is now standing up and is taking charge. “Don’t think just cause of that or that little trick of yours that you’ve won this.” She snaps off that this battle of dominance over this mind isn’t decided, not by a long shot, “Psycho Savage!” She hollered out in about to launch one of her moves.
Soon the phantom foe made her left hoof ignites with flames before she vanished to charge forth to take a swing…. But the moment time was in the course, the enemy found herself….’slow’ & her attack, not reaching her target’s face.
“Wha….but how,” Phantom Psycho Pie yelped in seeing this action, what sorta trick was this?
“Delay Action,” Aging spoke with her look never fading when her foe was standing before her or shown to be worried. “A technique I activate my ability to dilate time around me and those like you, thereby reducing the speed of any target that comes near me, giving me time to counter the incoming attack.” She explained forth the function that she was making it possible, that the enemy’s moves become slow, easy for her to dodge with easier effort.
“Grrr….Hrrruaghh,” Phantom Psycho Pie snarled before deciding to continue the flaming hoof assault.
“Frushvm-Frusvhm-Frushvm….” Phantom Psycho Pie tries to land her flaming hoof with quick jamming motions, but it looked like Aging was easily dodging them. It looked like the Matrix performance or something related in how well one was throwing her attacks and the other dodging them effortlessly.
“You aren’t listening, are you? By using this aspect of my ability allows to makes my opponents & foes incapable of landing a hit on me.” Aging spoke in seeing that she’s now in control, her foe can’t land a single blow to her.
“Then I’ll try another ploy instead!” Phantom Psycho Pie glared with angry eyes in losing her patience with this clever pony, “Phantom Slash!” Now she summoned forth her blade to prepare another strike attack performance.
Soon the evil phantom foe vanished in a blur to attack her foe….But then from Aging’s ability, she swiftly turned around in sensing her enemy from behind, grabbing her by the left hoof to soon toss the foe across the field. When Phantom Psycho Pie crashed landed, she suddenly felt something off besides her failed attempt, the Demon noticed her left bottom hoof was….wrinkled and brittle to the point of seeing a bone which when she held her weapon hurt her.
“WHAAAAAT; My hooooooof,” Phantom Psycho Pie cried out loud to drop her weapon to hold her left hoof with the other one while in complete shock. “What have you done to it?” She snapped to gaze at the opponent that did something, bad enough her attack failed her, but what did this newly powerful Pinkamena do now?
“Accelerate Aging.” Aging spoke in dubbing the name of the move she performed now. “I can also accelerate the age of whatever I touch, causing the appropriate damage that comes with aging. Even to a phantom like you, your bones are as brittle as an old mare.” She explained how the effect of that technique she performed was done, the pink mare made her foe’s body part age so much that it grew weak & easily breakable if not performed carefully.
Golden Heart watched the battle in utter amazement in seeing what his sister Pinkamena, as Aging, has done. While he had trouble handling this Phantom Psycho Pie that was now stronger than being abnormal Psycho Pie is on the running side now.
“I don’t believe it, so by touching her left hoof, that ability aged it to the point it’s bones become so brittle that they may eventually break.” Golden Heart stated in swallowing this fact down, it’s so surprising that it’s kinda scary of such a technique even existed.
Then in a split second, Aging soon took the moment of the phantom’s surprise to suddenly appear near her back side, and then lightly tapped on her shoulder. Phantom Psycho Pie reacts with confusion at what just transpired before vanishing away from the dangerous enemy. But by then, the phantom foe then saw that her entire left shoulder was now woozy. She could barely even make it work right, it’s as if it was asleep and she stared at the opponent that was across from her, looking completely focus, serious, and in the zone of controlling this battle.
“HOW COULD SUCH A POWER BE POSSIBLE,” Phantom Psycho Pie wailed out loud in not believing this, how was it that this clone of the original Pinkie Pie had suddenly brought forth a power so strong that it seems almost impossible to beat. How, HOW?
“Hmph, I told you, it’s cause unlike what you want me to be, I have accepted the time flow of age and being ageless, and this is what being the Element of Aging can do.” Aging spoke in starting to feel a bit confident in reminding her foe that the difference between them is as clear as ice, especially from where she stands.
“Grrr….then instead of close combat, I’ll just finish you off from a range distance!” Phantom Psycho Pie growled in frustration now, if direct confrontation won’t work, then far range projectiles should do the trick.
Soon the enemy skipped backwards to get plenty of distance while being on a safer guard of anymore surprises from this powerful new pony foe of hers.
“What’s she gonna try, I’ve seen some of them attacks, how can my sister handle them?” Golden Heart asked off in being curious, he saw most of Phantom Psycho Pie’s moves, and they ain’t very pretty, those moves are dangerous if one isn’t careful.
“Screaming Darkness,” Phantom Psycho Pie yelled out in preparing one of her moves to unleash here, “GRUUOORRAARRRUGHHH!” She fires an extremely high-temperature beam from her mouth directly at the target.
“Kurpowwwwfruvhmmm….” Aging didn’t move, the attack soon exploded at that moment where she was near.
“Crimson Mist,” Phantom Psycho Pie roared out in preparing another of her moves next. “Prrusvhmmm-ssisizzvhmm….” She opened her mouth again to spew out a thick red acidic mist that was going towards the target that it soon entered the smokescreen from the first attack to be merged in.
“A heated & an acidic combo,” Golden Heart spoke off in seeing a two time attack move, that isn’t good, is his sister alright from that?
“Now for the real pleasure……DEVASTATE!” Phantom Psycho Pie declared off in preparing one extra addition to the course now.
“Trsusuvhmmm…./KURPOOOWWFRUVHMMM….” Soon a sudden magic glows around Aging’s smoke field, before a very large bright flash happened before an explosion occurs. That much amount should deliver an inflicted amount of devastating damage to even that tough pony.
“Heheehhahahahaha….there’s no way she could have survive those, she….” Phantom Psycho Pie laughs off maniacally in seeing she’s got her target hard, no way she got out of that without a scratch or two, “Guuaaaughhh!” Suddenly, she looks again, only to gasp in seeing something…shocking.
From behind the clouds where the smokescreen began to fade, we see Pinkamena’s form identity; Aging. She looked completely unharmed, now burn marks anywhere or bruises, nothing much at all.
“She’s okay. And…she doesn’t even look like any damage made contact to her.” Golden Heart repeated out in gazing at this automate, how in Equestria did his sister do that, it was quite a surprise.
“HOOOOW; I know I hit you, you didn’t dodge!” Phantom Psycho Pie shouted out in protesting the manner; that should have worked, she hit the target perfectly, so why was there no damage?
“My special enhanced technique of my Accelerate Aging maneuver; Deterioration Field,” Aging spoke with a serious voice in explaining what she used that help her out of being harmed. “I can age & deteriorate every object around me even where I stand could deteriorate from my mere presence. Luckily, we’re in a dream world, so I won’t ruin anything.” She made a sly smile in making that little quote, much to the annoyance of her enemy. “Because of this maneuver, I’m protected from most close-range & melee attacks, for everything which comes within a specific range of me, rapidly ages & disintegrates before actually making contact.” This statement on what she explain was the key to how all that was gonna harm her was completely and utterly foiled before they even came a hair inch close to Pinkamena.
Hearing this surprised both the enemy and even Goldie, to think that such a powerful move from an element revolving around time could be used in such a way.
“Then the beam & acid mist deteriorated when they made contact with her field. And when that powerful explosion spell came to almost work, she made it explode far away from her, allowing her to escape the blast relatively undamaged.” Golden Heart issued in stating to himself, the basic explanation of how his sister had nullified all possible attacks from doing her harm.
“Rrrrughh….Then try THIS!” Phantom Psycho Pie growled in looking more furious then before, as she grips her weapon around her right hoof. “Frusvhm-frushvm-Frushvmssvhm….” She throw her Phantom Blade at a rapid speed to reach mach 1 speed.
“Grusvfruvhmm….” Suddenly, a strange unseen field seems at work when the machete almost came near Aging. But it was slowly beginning to age & deteriorate to the point that it’s accelerated spin was slowing down to the point….the blade completely vanished away.
“MY BLAAAADE; My tool of senseless killings,” Phantom Psycho Pie screeched out in horror, her favorite tool to kill innocent…was now gone from the rapid work of age. “Rrrrraaarrugh, if I can’t get you by normal means, then I’ll just rob you of something to regain my power!” She growls in feeling like she’ll get back at this pony by requiring more power to herself. “Memory Lost Melody!” She hollered out to command her next spell attack to work.
“Frusvhmm…” Just then, a spell circle appeared below Aging that was glowing at a maximum amount. At this time, the enemy was feeling her spell work as she began to slowly heal her left hoof.
“Yes….I can regain my strength by your memory, I can….whah?” During the process however, Phantom Psycho Pie suddenly yelp when the spell she used…cease function. “You’re kidding me, I barely felt like I stole anything. And I was gonna go for max power to rob every memory you had!” She was supposed to regain a larger amount of her power, but what went wrong, her spell circle around the target is….no more. Don’t tell us that it was because of….
“Even that move of yours could only work for so long as it had enough power to do so.” Aging spoke in explaining that she accelerated the age of the cast spell that was to harm her to a disadvantage, not likely now, “Now, time for my own counterattack,” Soon she pulled up her Sword of Pinkie Pie and held it in a firm grasp.
“I’m not out of tricks yet! Phantom Wall,” Phantom Psycho Pie shouted out, as she suddenly recreated her invisible magical barrier wall shaped like a circle.
“Craushvmmm….” And in a lucky moment, the attack soon impacted against the barrier the phantom pony used to stop Aging’s sword strike.
“Heh, now your attacks can’t reach me.” Phantom Psycho Pie was about to laugh at her opponent for thinking she had her….
“Crack-crack…” But that may have been wrong considering that the barrier was cracking.
“Hugh?” The phantom pony replied off confuse, this wasn’t…oh no.
“Crackfruvhmmm…/Slasshvmmm….” Suddenly, the barrier was completely broken through and Aging delivered a full blown strike against the evil phantom foe’s flesh.
“GAARRAARRRUGHHH,” Phantom Psycho Pie wailed out in painful agony to move back while some expose leaking of darkness was slipping out of her form.
“Sorry, but my ability still could age your barrier, making its power deteriorate to be weak enough to be broken easily.” Aging smiled in stating she made the barrier age so much, that it was at the point where she could break it.
“Nrruaaaraarrrrughh….” Phantom Psycho Pie was growling with her evil eyes beginning to glow red, her frustration was about to reach a new peak.
“Incredible….Pinkamena is playing this battle like she has the edge; she’s not worried or anything.” Golden Heart spoke to himself in watching this battle play out, so far, his sister has been having every advantage so far. And to think, moments before, it was the enemy that had Pinkamena trapped, now the shoe is on the other foot or hoof in this case. “Is that really my sister wielding such an element?” He asked in staring at the glowing aria of magic from the form Pinkamena had obtain, it’s power seem so great, it could be as Celestia said…the power to where a pony is likely has the strength level of a Mystic Pony.
“I’m giving you two choices, either surrender or perish.” Aging spoke in giving this evil a chance to give up, if not, then it’ll be destroyed, she’s not heartless to give the enemy a chance to make a decision.
“NEVER,” Phantom Psycho Pie roared out like a mad beast towards the hero of even thinking about surrendering. “I’m not going back to being trapped in your mind, not when I’ve finally obtain the power to gain control. Only to lose now when coming so far,” She issued that she’s finally in control, if she loses here, she’ll not get another chance. “I’ll finish you, your brother and ALL those you care for afterwards!” She barked off in sounding like a mad lunatic about to finally lose her marbles now.
Soon the evil phantom of Pinkamena’s nightmare started to build up a very large, very scary magical aura that was enshrouded in black flames. The evilness of the force seem to almost made Golden Heart swallow hard, that’s a lot of power, and this foe is about to unleash it all, everything on them now.
“Just try to stop the very power that is wielded by a Demon God!” Phantom Psycho Pie announced forth in about to unleash a true devastating power that not even one element can beat, the power that is sued from a god among demons, “EVIL FLAAAAAME!” She roars out with such a voice to raises up her front hooves into the air and then….
“PUUUSSSFRUUSSSVHMMM….” From a thrown of her hooves, Phantom Psycho Pie unleashed what was a giant wave of dark fire she manipulated to swarm on in around her targets before raising up her hooves to the center; and splat the black flames onto Aging & Goldie too as a bonus to finishing off the real threat.
“AHUHUHUHUH-HAHAHAHAAAAAHHHH,” Phantom Psycho Pie was laughing out in the most maniacal laughter to be heard all around, “AT LAST! I’VE WON!” She shouted out in witnessing that she’s done it, the evil Demon has completely & totally defeated the weak pony that could not become another Psycho Pie. “Now nothing will stand in the way, my other half will be pleased to see me again, when I become the next Psycho Pie to terrorize Equestria in a feast of their bones & blood of pastries none could even imagine!” She was bantering her monolog in what great & terrible evil that the monster would unleash, and by then, none could stop her….none of the heroes would, she would be unstoppable.
“Wrong….” The voice spoke from within the burning black flames.
“Hugh?” Suddenly, the action made the phantom mare of a nightmare cease, that voice sounded like….
“I won’t let that happen.” Yes, it was the voice of Aging as her figure was seen from behind the wall of dark fire that should be burning her.
“You…can’t have survive….I must be hearing things!” Phantom Psycho Pie spoke off in looking like she was staring at something….horribly frightening to scare her, a pony that is Psycho Pie.
Soon something began to happen inside the wall of black flames; Aging use a spell that protected Goldie from being burn. But as for the mare herself in her element form, she was slowly building up her own magical aura to attack with. As it seem to affect the dark fire enough to vanish a bit away from the two ponies in the center of a dangerous wild fire.
“Sis, what did you do? Is this your Deterioration Field’s work?” Golden Heart asked off in wondering what was happening around them, was it a move that Pinkamena here used before?
“No brother of mine, that move is by far the second most fearsome move I can ever unleash when push comes to shove.” Aging spoke froth in making this statement to Goldie who she wanted to protect from the evil flames.
“Second?” Golden Heart repeated what he heard, if the move they are chatting was second in terms of what was powerful. Then questions are raised, what was the top gun for being number one?
“Let me show you, the true power of my element over age & time. One so powerful, that it’s the most terrifying ability when being the Element of Age and must be used cautiously.” Aging spoke in preparing herself against the dark fire that was trying to reach the siblings. “It is after all, so dangerous, may as well be label Forbidden Spell Technique,on how powerful this is & if not used carefully.” She stated that what she’ll be using is a power that is so dangerous, it may even be label as a Forbidden Spell.
“Pinkamena,” Golden Heart softly spoke in about to see his inter about to use something that’s very strong & very dangerous, question remains…what could it be?
“It’s time….” Aging spoke from slowly standing forth in the right center of what she’ll do next, “Endless Decay!” She softly spoke with these words that were from the most of her tone, deadly serious. “BRUUFRUUSSSVHMM…” Then all of a sudden without warning, from under her hooves, Aging unleashes what looks like a black & purple, smoke-like miasma, radiating from her body’s entire area, about below her hooves.
Soon Aging held up her front hooves to make the stuff move to her will. As it suddenly came in contact with the dark fire that the mare struck it fast that Aging controls its speed and spreading it out; Soon the dark fire that was supposed to last and not die out or stop burning, the time of age was making it speed up to slowly wither away into small list before the ponies were safely out of harm’s way. And soon Aging stood there with her miasma still active, Golden Heart with a gaping mouth in what he saw was almost….that which left him speechless, and the one most shock; was the enemy herself of her strongest attack failed her.
“IMPOSSIBLE! Grimmore’s dark fires from hell are being defeated. My very rise to power itself,” Phantom Psycho Pie screamed out to hold her gasping cheek, the very power she obtain from Grimmore, though small, was completely beaten by the move her opponent used. And it really looks threatening to freak her out.
“Unlike the real threat of the Dark Elf, you’re use of his leftovers are only small time.” Aging issued off in making her stern statement on her beating just a little sample of such power is not beyond her own; at least it was not the full force from the real Dark Elf himself. “The Endless Decay can dissolve Magic Spells, the aspect itself can be explained, because all living things eventually die, the things which they create eventually die as well.” She stated out in explaining what her greatest move can do, and now what it’ll do now unleashed. “And so it’s time to say goodbye to you forever! YOU LOSE! HARRRRUUAARRRRRRUGHHHH,” On the final last parts, Aging yelled out with her full focus right on defeating this nightmare phantom of hers…for good.
And soon Aging fired her final attack to push her hooves forward that her miasma was shot off so fast, it completely covered over Phantom Psycho Pie before she could have reacted at all with nothing….but to give her death scream.
“GEHHAAARRRUUUAAAAAUGHHH,” Phantom Psycho Pie screamed out loud in a painful wailing cry sound while her everybody was decaying from the miasma covering her. It was decaying everything of anything she wore, even her phantom figure bones, “This….Is FAAAAR From OVER! Huuuaaaagh…” She was gasping out in making a final curse remark to her opponent from defeating her before she perishes. “I’m just a small darkness compared to the REAL Psycho Pie; you know NOTHING of where she now stands! Good luck beating her….” She soon cracked an insane looking expression on her face even while her very life was slowly being withered away, “Hauhuhuhu-Haahahah-Raarrrghhhh!” Soon she was trying to laugh when her head was remaining before that too was swallowed by the miasma and made a last cry to be heard just as the technique scattered to leave…nothing behind.
At this moment, the background music finally ceases at this perfect moment of victory; As the phantom nightmare of Psycho Pie, the one that was still ever inside Pinkamena; is at long last, gone for good. And with that, Aging ceases her ability to disappear from sight, as the transformation ceases & soon she is changed back into her old Pinkamena Diane Pie self again. Golden Heart slowly began to stand up to approach his sister that in all his life, never seen her become so powerful, so fast.
“Pinkamena; Sis….are you….okay now,” Golden Heart asked from slowly approaching his sister, that was incredible, more than he ever knew one pony could do. Pinkamena defeated her own worst defeat out of many other frightful foes, but is she okay now?
“I am fine Goldie, and also, I'm wanting to say this while we still got the chance.” Pinkamena suddenly spoke this out that had caught some attention while not facing her brother.
“Hugh?” Goldie replied confused, what is it that she has to say to him during this time?
Then Pinkamena turns around to smile at her brother with an expression that shows a very much un-freaky smile. It was a happy expression, one that she has shown only when truly happy, and thanks to her brother, she won this cause of him, her old elderly Pinkie Pie friend and many others not here.
“Thanks.” Pinkamena said with a sincere face of being so happy, that those that truly care about her, have helped saved her from a terrible life choice she almost made.
Soon a bright light covers the area of the dream world, as both the dream version of Pinkamena & Golden Heart was slowly soaked up by the white flashing current.
-----------------------
The evil villain of the Dark Mystic Ponies look pleased as Amon came back from his mission, explaining what he had done.
Dark Curse smirked while saying, "Well done, Amon. Your performance had proven well in use against our enemies. And soon, it will be perfect used against the Mane Six."
"Yes, my lord......" Amon said sinisterly.
"You may leave and complete the mission of what I had requested."
"At once."
Amon disappeared in a black smoke. Upon hearing the swirling portal-like, Dark Curse and encountered a black hooded pony. Recognizing him, the villain spoke, "Superior."
The Superior spoke, keeping his face underneath his hood, "Greetings, Dark Curse. I hope I have not interrupted anything."
"Oh no; Not yet; Lao Meng Lone Soup?"
The Superior smiled under his hood while answering, "Certainly." Dark Curse magically teleport Lao Meng Lone Soups out for both him and Smaug. They both sat down on the cushions, and drank their drinks. "So, tell me old friend, are you aware of Grimmore's suspicion?
"Indeed , I had. It's a good thing that He learned nothing and had misinformation." Dark Curse said with a cruel chuckle.
"Yes. Indeed it is. So tell me how were the process of our plans?"
"In good process; The Dark Elements of Disharmony is in 60% complete . I had made an alliance with two powerful warlords from Cybertron and Military Universe. They said that the two themselves will come to our universe soon for the supplies of weapons to us while we provide them: powers."
"And?" The Superior asks Dark Curse, wanting the answer.
"I have managed to collect seven items to perform for our future plans." Dark Curse said, much to the Superior's delight.
"Good....... So tell me, when will you strike? I can be certain that your spy had found the Mystic Shield?"
"Not yet. From what he had informed me, both Brave Heart and Flash Sentry had suspicions on him. So, it might take some time for him to earn their trusts, as well as learning their powers and strengths."
The Superior smirked while saying, "I see. Report anything good for me. Well done."
"And of course, we do not need to worry about Pinkamena. For her ability had been sealed for good." Dark Curse said with a cruel chuckle. Amon's power has indeed worked...or so he had thought.
"Her ability of randomness and Breaking Fourth Wall Ability had been silenced, thus allowing us move freely and do anything we want, and even on the next chapter?"
Dark Curse smirked while answering, "Precisely."
The Superior pleased spoke once more, "Well done. My father had made the wise decision in finding and taking advice from you. Just remember your deal."
"Devil never breaks the deal. I assure you, Superior the Demon God."
Superior smirked while speaking, "I like that nickname. I should have used that name; A toast. To our future victory!"
Dark Curse and Superior made their toasts of Lao Meng Lone Soup before they drank together.
