//------------------------------// // Treacherous Mansion Part 1 // Story: Fluttershy's Mansion: Dark Moon // by Shazam 25 //------------------------------// Ghost Studies look over the map and then turn to his friends. "Well I got good news and bad news." He said. "What the good news?" Rainbow decide ask, thinking good news was better. "I found that the last piece of Dark Moon is in that mansion." Ghost Studies said pointing to the map. "Cool! So what is there bad news?" Rainbow then ask. "The bad news is because that the Treacherous Mansion, the most hunted Mansion of Dark Moon Valley, because every Ghost Fluttershy has encounter, is there." He said. Fluttershy shook like a leaf. She didn't want to know what was inside, but Ghost Studies went on, "No scientist with the most sense would enter it. Yes, it very dangerous to enter it." Fluttershy relax, thinking she did have to go in, but shook again when he added. "For me that is, but you can handle it, Fluttershy. The last Dark Moon piece is in there." "No! No! No! No!" Fluttershy said shaking her head, she didn't what to go though this mansion. She had enough mansions for one night and didn't want to go though any more. "Fluttershy! What are you talking about?!" Rarity ask in surprise. "Ya! You always go though a Mansion and catch ghost." Rainbow agree. "Are you sayin' that you do want to go thought that one?" Applejack ask. Fluttershy nods and Pinkie gasp. Celestia and Luna was just as surprise. Ghost Studies turn to Fluttershy and spoke up "You are not the only one scare Fluttershy.", he said, "I'm afraid that this Mansion will be too much for you and you may not come back." Fluttershy turn to him in surprise. "The reason why I sending you is because I'm to old to go in. If I was a bit younger, then yes I'll take over, but I'm not. So, please will you do this?" He explain. Fluttershy sigh and said, "Ok I'll...do it." "Now that to words I want to hear!" Rainbow said. "Lady Fluttershy, don't forget you are not alone. Your friends had help you though out Dark Moon Valley." Luna said. "Yes, No matter where you are, you friends are all was behind you." Celestia added. "Thank you." Fluttershy said as she put on the Ghost Seeker. "Here Fluttershy, this key will aloud you to enter the Front Door. Once inside I'll contact you. Happy trails." Ghost Studies said. Fluttershy took the key and was send to the Treacherous Mansion. Fluttershy appear in mid-air and landed on her hooves. She look at her spot then stand up smiling. She turn to the gate and jump. She took a breath and push the Gate open. She step through and saw the Treacherous Mansion. Fluttershy didn't no why, but the feeling she had back at her very first Mansion return here. Still she had to get over there. Fluttershy look over the edge and saw waterfalls all over the place. When she look down, she back away as she could see nothing, but mist and blackness every where. "Ohhh D...d...dear!" Fluttershy said shaking. She stood up and started to walk to the Mansion. Fluttershy saw a narrow ledge and knew she had to cross it. "Well, if I need to get there, might as well." She said and cross quickly. She walk down the path and while crossing it, it broke. Fluttershy jumps as she now saw ledges. Fluttershy step on the first one and move to the end. She jump over to the second and cross it as well. Then come to a third ledge and cross it as well. Before Fluttershy could reach the end part of the ledge started to break. "AHH!" Fluttershy yell and quickly jump and at the same time flip her wings. She made it and turn to look back. "Whew! That was close." Fluttershy said as she got a breath. She turn and walk up to the front doors. Fluttershy could stop herself from shaking as she walk up to the Door and pull out the key. She look around and saw no ghosts that try to appear and reach to put the key in. "Ow!" Fluttershy call out as something hit her and the Key was throw in the air. Fluttershy land on her front and the key a little bit in front of her. She look up to see white paws then to see a familiar Ghost Dog. They both look at the key and Fluttershy knew just what was going to happen. She reach for the key, but the Ghost Dog ate it and ran off. "No, Bad doggie!" Fluttershy said to herself and hit her hoof off the ground. Here we go again. Fluttershy jump as part of the stones rails move out of the way and Fluttershy decide to look around. She move to the right and shine her Dark-Light to see paw prints and follow them. As she did, her Dark-Light started to make a chest appear. Fluttershy walk over it and Made the Spirit Orbs appear. She caught them and open the chest for more bits. Then she went down the stairs and saw the Ghost Dog jump over the rail and disappear. Fluttershy look around the area and saw a Dog house close by. "Guess this is the Ghost Dog home." Fluttershy said and pick up the bits inside. She move over to a well and saw that the bucket was missing. She shine her Dark-Light and more Spirit Orbs appear. She caught them and a Ball-Chain appear instead of a bucket. "Huh? One at least I can go down...gulp." Fluttershy said and suck up the Chain-ball. She lower in to the Well and saw mushrooms around the place. Once she was near the bottom, the Ghost Seeker let go of the Chain-ball and Fluttershy drop down and landed on her flank. "Ow." she said and stood back up. She look around the place and fond a few bits and as well more bits behind a fake wall. She walk down the tunnel and Bright Flash and few spiders. After grabbing the bits, she came to a vine ball that she hasn't seen since the Hunted Towers. She suck it up and yank it. The wall fell and show Fluttershy the Guard Tunnel. She spot the Ghost Dog running through an broken wall that block her way. Fluttershy saw another Vine ball and yank it as well. After the wall fell in, two Strong Greenies appear ready to stop her. Fluttershy move from her spot as one Strong Greenie disappear and the other flew to hear. Fluttershy saw a sword being pick up and charge her flashlight. She release the Bright Flash and stun both String Greenies. She started to suck them up. After let all three bars fur up and yanking back after they already lost a lot of heath, Fluttershy caught and another Strong Greenie and a Strong Slammer took their place. Fluttershy move away not wanting to get hurt badly again and charge her flashlight and use the Bright Flash that stun both Ghosts. She suck them up and repeat the same fight as earlier. This time the Strong Greenie went in first because it had lower heath then the Strong Slammer. After using a few yanks, Fluttershy caught the Strong Slammer and the purple gate rise up. Fluttershy walk thought the tunnel and come to the Cliffside. She check the barrel and fond a Golden bone. She put it away and saw a wheel handle. Using the Ghost Seeker, she move the handle and heard some thing clacking. She look pass it and saw a normal gate being rise. When she stop, it lower again. She move the handle until the gate was rise all the way up and ran to the door before it shut. She enter the door and came to the Ceremonial Chamber. Fluttershy walk to her left and enter another room that had gargoyles holding bowls with one that had fire in it. Fluttershy saw web ball and suck it up. Knowing that the fire was to high, Fluttershy walk back into the room before and walk up to the small campfire near a suit of armor. She lit it and the web around it burn away and bits drop down. After picking up the bits, she walk back in the room and lit all the wines to light up the bowls. Fluttershy look around feeling a bit better when some rise up and scare her. She turn to she a of armor sitting in a chair. As she look at it, another suit of armor step out of it place and turn to Fluttershy. Fluttershy jump at the sight and ready her Bright Flash. Unlike the Mummies, the Knights was not blind by the Bright Flash and still charge at her, only stopping to rise it ax and swing it down. Fluttershy jump out of the way and saw the hole that that she stood a few seconds ago. "Gulp...this might be a bit harder." Fluttershy said as she stood up. Fluttershy jump away as the Knight try to attack her again. Fluttershy notices it was stand over a rug and knew what to do. She suck up one of the corners and pull the rug from underneath the Knight. It fell and broke as a Strong Greenie appear out of it. "A Greenie? Guess they're getting smarter." Fluttershy said as she saw it. She Bright Flash it and it suck in. During that time the Knight from the chair stood up and rush to Fluttershy. Fluttershy run near it as the Knight step on the rug and pull it from underneath it like the last one. Once again a Strong Greenie appear and Fluttershy Bright Flash it and suck it up. She caught it and wipe her forehead with her hoof. "Whew! That was a little to close." Fluttershy said before turning to the chair. She sigh, knowing that she will have to get on in order to go after the Ghost Dog. She climb in and went down to the Hunted Catacombs. She jump off the chair and shine her Dark-Light to find paw prints. She follow the paw prints until they turn right and saw a gate with bits on the other side. She walk on and spotted the Ghost Dog running off. She ran up the path and saw it was a two way. The right is where the Ghost Dog went and the left lead to the bits she saw earlier. She walk over and pick up the bits and saw a coffin. She open it and was stuck in. Fluttershy open her eyes to see she was in another maze like place and this time had two Knights and red and normal bits. A over head view of the area was show to her and saw she now had 10 second instead of 15. Fluttershy ran quickly and follow the trail of bits. She dodge the first knight and ran until she come to the second Knight after picking up more Red Bits. She pick up the last red bit just as she had three seconds left. They Knights fell apart and a chest appear on the middle of the maze. Fluttershy open it and find more bits inside. After collecting them she was then pull into the air. Fluttershy appear back in the Haunted Catacombs and went to the left to follow the Ghost Dog. She follow the trail to a door and enter it. When she turn around after closing the door, she jump and scream as a Strong Greenie wearing goggles give the second Strong Greenie an thumbs up after place them on. The Second Strong Greenie place it goggles on the turn the handle until it touch the red. Fluttershy watch as if she was living a real story of Frankenpony as the Knight started to rise and the First Greenie laugh as the second back off afraid. The knight lower as the Greenies laugh as if they were doing a play. Fluttershy went near them and remove their goggles. They look in surprise to see Fluttershy, who Bright Flash them and started to suck them up. A Strong Sneaker appear and scare Fluttershy. She lost her grab on the two Greenies and all three ghosts disappear. Fluttershy move by the door so the Strong Sneaker doesn't get behind and let out the Bright Flash. One Strong Greenie was caught by the light and Fluttershy suck it in. She then ran to the order side of the room and let another Bright Flash and got the other Strong Greenie and the Strong Sneaker. The Strong Greenie went in first because it was weaker and Fluttershy use a few yanks to catch the Strong Sneaker. After Fluttershy was done, an familiar laugh was heard. It was a Shadowbolt Ghost! From the sound of it, it came from the armor on the table. She look at the handle and knew she had to use it on the armor. Maybe if she make it full, it will force the Shadowbolt out of hiding. She use the Ghost Seeker to move the handle until it reach full power. But it was too much for the armor to take and blew apart. Fluttershy jump as the Shadowbolt appear. "Arf, arf! Grrrrr...Better run from Shadowdog!" He said and like the other before him, disappear. Fluttershy sigh and shine her Dark-Light and fond the Shadowbolt and stun it. She suck up the tail and waited from all three bars to fill up before yanking back. It boucle all over the room but was able to stop itself before disappearing again. Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light again and stun him once more. After boucle him across the room a second time, he lay still on the ground and Fluttershy suck him up. She jump on the hose until it was shuck in. "You guys need new tricks." Fluttershy said as she look at the hose. Fluttershy started to walk to the other door and spotted a Gem in the glass jar. "Oh my! There Gems here too? I better grab them." Fluttershy said and look towards a Helmet on the ground then back at Gem. Fluttershy got the idea and suck up the helmet and aim at the gem. The Helmet broke the Glass Jar and Fluttershy suck up the Gem and pocket it. She then step though door and back in the Haunted Catacombs. Fluttershy saw a Knight being held by vines. When she near it to rise it sword as if it was pointing down the hall to the next room. "Thank you?" Fluttershy said to it confuse. She walk down and saw another Knight. Like the one before it, it pointed down the hall it was facing and Fluttershy follow it. She kept follow the Knights until she reach a picture with a Web ball on it and a camp fire near by. Remembering from her past mansions, Fluttershy shine her Dark-Light on it and the Web Ball pop out. After lilting on fire, Fluttershy remember a web that she pass earlier and follow the trail back. Once she reach the web, she burn it away to find another Gem. She pocket it and started to head down the hall and spot a door. Fluttershy enter the door and saw she was back out on the Cliffside. Fluttershy spotted an Gem on the vine and suck it down, she move though the Cliffside and flash a few bats and open chest for some bits. She found more on the way back by removing a fake wall and reenter the Haunted Catacombs. Fluttershy walk straight from the door and when she step into another part of the room she trip over something. "Ooff!" Fluttershy cry out and pick herself up. She shine her Dark-Light and found the paw prints, she follow them to another door and enter the Dungeon Cells. Fluttershy turn from the door and saw the Ghost Dog sitting by the steps. She was just about to sneak up in it when a loud noise was heard. Fluttershy jump and the Ghost Dog ran into the next room knocking a few barrels over as it did. "Darn it." Fluttershy said to herself. She was so close and now she has to chase it some more. Fluttershy walk down the stairs and check the barrels and found a Strong Hider in one of them. Fluttershy was quick to stun it before it flew away. She knew it was tougher then a normal Hider, but she saw the heath didn't increase to much like the others and caught it in no time. Then she saw that a barrel was clog and remove it. Water flow out and Fluttershy found a bucket close by. Thinking the bucket could be use for something in the area, she full it up and walk to the next room. Fluttershy saw a cell door on the ground and a vine inside. She walk up to it and water it. It grew into a flower and Fluttershy bright Flash it and got more bits. She walk out and down the more cells, but the last two with their doors up. "Oh, how am I going to check...AH!" Fluttershy was going to say. She turn around and lean back to think, she went thought the bars and appear inside the cell. "Fake bars. I forget about those." Fluttershy said as she stood up. Fluttershy saw a picture with a bomb in it and a chain-ball next to it. She yank the chain ball first and the picture flip to the other cell. Fluttershy walk out of the cell and saw the Bomb Picture in the second cell. Using her Dark-Light, the Bomb pop out and blew up next to a crack wall and made a hole. Fluttershy walk over to the first cell and walk thought the hole. She didn't know where the Ghost Dog was, but knew it was hiding. She check the Barrel and the Ghost Dog ran around her and jump away, but this time waited for her. Fluttershy knew she need that key and didn't what to chase that Ghost Dog every where and quickly use the Bright Flash to stun it and started to suck it up. Like two times before, the Ghost Dog fought back until Fluttershy use a few yanks to weaken it to catch it. The Key drop out and Fluttershy grab it. Then her Ghost Seeker theme play. "Hello?" "Fluttershy are you in the Mansion yet? I lost track of time before the Princesses ask me about it." Ghost Studies said. "Well, I was about to enter the Mansion, but the Ghost Dog appear again and took the key." Fluttershy said. "That mutt again?", Rainbow ask, "Did you catch it again?" "Yes, this is the third time." Fluttershy said. "Yes, but judging from the look of the area you're way to far to the doors, it faster if we bring you back and send you to the doors." Ghost Studies said. "Ok, see you in a bit." Fluttershy said and put the Ghost Looker away. Fluttershy jump for joy as her mission was complete. She open the Ghost Looker and saw her score. Then was brought back to the shack. Fluttershy appear in the shack and land on her flank. Pinkie appear and ask, "So how was the Treacherous Mansion?" "I don't know, I haven't been in there yet." Fluttershy answer. "Well, let's empty the Ghost Seeker so it ready for the challenge." Ghost Studies said and the tube appear. Fluttershy place the hose on the tube and all the Ghosts, Bits, Gems and Shadowbolt was sent to the vaunt. Rainbow Dash ready herself because she believe the same thing was going to happen again. "Rainbow, what are ya doing?" Applejack ask. "I being ready in case that Ghost Dog get out of the Ghost Seeker like it did before." She answer. "Don't worry about that, Miss Dash.", Ghost Studies spoke up, "Remember when I said that the Ghost Seeker fix any problem it come across?" Everypony nods, expect the CMC's. "Because Fluttershy has caught the Ghost Dog two times before, the Ghost Now made sure the Ghost Dog goes to the vaunt instead of getting out." Ghost Studies smiles. "Ohhh! Nice thinking there Doc." Pinkie said. "Thank you Pinkie." Ghost Studies said. "So Fluttershy are you ready to go back in?" Celestia ask her. "In a minute, I need to rest, that Ghost Dog was really hard to find and caught." Fluttershy said and sat down.
