Rage opens his eyes to see the tree he's resting under, and the bit of ground beneath him was in the air. He looked around and there was a few others things in the air like carts, houses, trees, signs, and items like treats. However the sky was pitch black. there was no stars, no moon, and no clouds. Rage was not realy creeped out by the setting he was in, just confused. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. a few seconds of confusion later, the ground beneath him crumbled. He grabed the tree as the ground disapeared, but the tree quickly died, so it lef him to fall to nothingness. Although he fell off the tree, he was floating somehow. Rage didn't want to question it, so he just went with it. He heard a voice and crying so he tried to pinpoint where it came from and fly to there.


When he did all of that, he say Rarity looking down at a giant dead spider thing.He listened to hear Rarity say under all that crying,which was makeing her makeup run,"Why mother? Why did you do this? Why did you make me do this?" Her "mother" was nowhere to be seen, but when he looked closer to the body, he saw resemblance to Rarity. His eyed widen at the sight of this and the blood covered knife close to the body.we was gonna try to calm Rarity down but was stopped by the sounds of bugs. Rage turned to the direction of the sound to see foal sized flea things with mosquito mouths hop towards him and Rarity but all bug like eyes where focused on Rarity and not him. She levitated the knife shakily saying,"No...no p-please get away from me..."stepping away moving the knife left and right. Rage was focusing his magic for a blast, but nothing came out. He felt to see his horn was sawed off somehow. He tried to buck them but he couldn't, they where to fast for him. They hoped away frum him and to Rarity. Rage heard her scream again and ran towards the flea things but he couldn't move. He was held back by some sorta force. Rarities's screaming was dying down and the flea things looked up and flew up with buzzing being heard. Rage can move now so he ran off to see Rarity... Her eyes where where shrivled up and her body was thin as bone. She was cold... He couldn't do anything for her now.

Rage looked down and cried a bit, shakeing. Than he looked up to see sugar cube corner... being attacked by ponies. but these ones wore hoods and had giant frount hooves like a...human he thought it was called with claws. every 4 seconds more and more came and devoured the place with their claws. Screams and laughter was heard, Rage thought it was the peaple inside that where screaming... but they where already slain by these...Things. the sugary shop became nothing but rubble, blood, limbs, cooking tools, and a few cupcakes with one rainbow one. Rage was shaking by this time as the beasts went off laughing and screaming like maniacs.

Rage looked down in disbilef thinking, no this is not real this is not-, he was cut off by the sounds of breathing and the looks of light. He knew he should not turn around, but did anyways. What he saw nearly made him fall over in fear... a pony sized angler fish thing. the monster was blue with no mane but... a dark blue and light blue tail. the cutie mark was gone like it was torn off and replaced with skin and fur. his head was larger to fit a head in it, decked with stained teeth, foggy white eyes,and the light thing coming from his head.(Rage did not know what those were called back than)his hooves were replaced with tentacles, and had a big fin on his back. Rage stepped away in fear.

Hazy Gust? It's me, Rage, your pal, Rage tried to say but words never came out of his mouth.The thing that is Hzy Gust just stood there in the air still flapping his wings. He opened his mouth and lunged towards Rage. Rage ducked and ran off in a hurry. after 10 minutes of fearful runing and dodges, he was far away frum what was left of his freind.
Rage tried to think of what just happend,but was cut off of the sound of a distant scream.He looked to see not another dying pony, but the Hazy Gust monstrosity flying at extream speed. Rage could tell he was mad. Rage started off on a quick dash but fell over. He thought he triped but actualy was grabed on to by a hand from the ground and was swooped up by his once freind. Just like that he woke up with a start. Panting looking at himself and around him. Not maimed, no darkness, none of those things, and no monstrous Hazy Gust. Phew that was all a dre-

"Hey Rage!" a voice called out.

Yipe!
