Dark Specialty.
[Abes]
A week after Sugarcube burnt down, I sat outside the cordoned off lot, sadly staring at the tragic husk the building had become. Nopony had come forward, whether to confess or give a statement. We had run down every lead we could, but every trail petered out into rabbit trails and dead ends.
True to Merry's word, Mayor Mare had seen to the Crusaders hearing as soon as she was able, dropping all charges for their contribution to putting out the fire. All three fillies were currently holding their Cute-ceañera or whatever it was called. I honestly couldn't care less, and what little caring I did have was for the churning it gave my stomach.
I wanted to be there, I really did, but it made me physically ill.
My musings were interrupted when a familiar presence brushed against my mind.
Mind's open.
Evening, my friend. I come bearing news.
Is it the good kind, Luna?
Yes and no... I heard Luna mentally sigh. I believe that I have found the culprits of the arson.
I sense a but...
But I can't send any guards to make an arrest.
Bullshit! I snarled, my rings glowing brightly under the moonlight.
Sadly, it's true. We are no longer able to make arrests under suspicion with my dream-walking as evidence.
Why not?!
Do you know how many dreams We have overseen in which the pony believes themselves guilty of a crime they committed only a dream prior?
Charred beams threw themselves around within the cordoned area. They stopped when my tail stopped lashing. So, what makes you think that you found the culprits?
This is the fourth night in a row that they've had this same dream. Now, I have tried to convince the ringleader into turning herself in, but she stubbornly refuses to.
I cocked my head. Why?
She is more afraid of the punishments her mind conjures than she is of the very real consequences of burying her guilt. And her partner is more afraid of what her leader would do to her if she came forth. I will admit to being at a loss of what to do....
I growled, eyes focusing a glare at an exposed timber. I almost expected it to reignite from my anger alone. Send me in.
What?
Send. Me. In. My tail started lashing again. We've gone dream-walking enough for me to know what I'm doing.
Very well. Whose dream shall you enter?
Give me the lackey.
Prepare yourself. Transferring in three... Two...
[Third]
One.
A large filly's room expanded into existence around a light grey filly with an almost silver grey mane and tail. Though it looked like her own bedroom, everything felt off. Slipping her glasses on, Silver Spoon tried to peer into the shadows, hoping to spot the oddities.
Then it clicked.
Everything was subtly warped, slightly stretched out of proportion in some slight way. Some shadows didn't seem to match the object casting them, others seemed to change whenever she looked away. Calming drapes hung torn and tattered, fluttering in a breeze from the open, cracked window as if they were reaching for the small filly. Toys and dolls that once seamed so familiar now seemed to eerily follow her every move. A large stuffed red fox with a hook paw and an eye-patch leaned against her closet door, looking over her other toys like a general marshaling her army.
But the biggest change was to the bed and room itself. Both were far larger then they should've been.
Silver jumped as something creaked out in the hall. She only caught a twin flicker of red move rapidly away from the door. With a gulp, she scanned the room again, pulling the covers up higher in the vain hope they would protect her. She froze.
The fox was glaring at her. Its single eye held a soulless hunger as sharpened teeth jutted from it's now open mouth. Silver pulled the covers over her head with a strangled whimper. She waited for the thing to rip through her flimsy defense to tear into the vulnerable foal underneath.
When said tearing didn't happen, she chanced a look out from her shelter. The fox had returned to normal.
She jumped again when her bedroom door creaked slowly open. "Sil~ver..." A soft voice whispered. "I know what you've done... I know where you are..." It singsonged in its harsh whisper. "I can smell your fear..." A sniffing noise rebounded through the room. "It smells so swe~et..." Its final word echoed around the room. Silver's eyes darted around, trying to track the being tormenting her. The voice led her gaze to the open door, and the twin burning red eyes piercing out from the doorway. White fangs glowed as the thing continued to speak with sadistic glee. "There you are~."
"W-what d-do you w-want?" Silver whimpered.
"Justice..." It hissed, golden rings flaring to life as a demonic black canine stalked into the room. "Justice for a family almost lost... Justice for a home destroyed... Justice for lives torn asunder."
"B-but nopony died in the fire!" Silver wailed. Her eyes widened as she clamped her hooves over her mouth.
The thing smiled the smile of the demented. "I never mentioned a fire." It laughed, sending shivers of fear running up and down Silver's spine. "I know what you fear." It giggled, stepping slowly toward's her bed. "You fear the anger of the one you call a 'friend'. You fear the righteous wrath the adults will bring down onto both of your heads if you come forth with your guilt. You fear the loss of what little respect you have amongst the children you and Diamond," it spat the word out like it was poison, "believe yourselves above. But, I can assure you..." It disappeared from view as the bed's hoofboard got in the way.
"I am so much worse." The voice roared in rage right next to the filly's ear.
With a shriek, Silver dove back under her blankets. Her breathing came in short, sharp gasps, her eyes scrunched tightly shut. "It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a dream." She repeated, over and over, listening for any sound of The Beast outside her blankets.
She froze when she heard the growling, a golden glow bleeding through her eyelids. Unbidden, her eyes slammed open. Barely inches from her face, The Beast's red eyes burned into her own. "THIS IS NO DREAM!!" It roared, before lunging forward to devour the filly.
With a scream of terror, Silver thrashed awake, flinging her blankets across the room. Thundering hoofsteps pounded down the hall as her parents ran to her rescue. They found Silver shivering in a tight ball, tears staining the mattress, listening to the tail end of a voice only she could hear.
"Confess, or feel our pain."
I can't- Silver thought. I'm scared-
"Scared of what? Diamond? Fuck her! Do what's right!"
Silver's parents had climbed onto the bed, holding their precious filly close. Her mother stroked Silver's mane, murmuring assurances to dispel the nightmare. Gradually, the shivering stopped.
"Mom, Dad?" Silver hoarsely whispered through her tears. "I-I need to tell you something...."
It's done. Luna returned Abes to his original place by the burnt debris. She herself exited the dream realm in the Canterlot Gardens. She sighed, before looking around the garden path.
I'll have to talk to him about his... Methods later. She vowed, listening to the soothing fountain next to her. Before she left to the palace proper, she gave the fountain's statue a disdainful glance, missing the twin cracks on it's outstretched paw.

Why can't this story be done so we can read all of it's gooy goodness? Whyyyyy!?
well Diamond and Silver are gonna be punished bad for this
Ohhh Dick Cheese is Fire Embleming with Robin...
Hehehe.... Luna's seeing a bit of Nightmare Moon in Abe. Though she's wrong, he was just frustrated that the culprits hadn't said anything and didn't seem to be repenting for what they did. But with this, they're definitely going to be facing true justice.... Well, the foal version of it at least.
I just thought of something, if entei raikou and suicune were originally flareon, jolteon, and vaporeon before ho-oh changed them then what would the other eeveelutions turn into?
Your Eevees are on the front page again, though this time they're causing trouble.
Hmm... did you go FNAF on Silver Spoon?
8973558
I don’t know, but Abes certainly was reminding me of Darkrai just now
Welp, add dream walking to Abes' skills.
8973518
Because then it would be over. You don't want it to be over, do you?
8973599
Yar!
8973599
i'm fairly certain that was fnaf
8973616
double the cleansing of pallets ^^
8973625
Inspired. It was that, or go with nightmare on elm street.
I can't wait for the ponies to find out the summons are not elementals but are pokemon they pull from another place. I kind of want their summon to bring a trainer owned pokemon and have a huge backlash on them. Also if they have had these summons for so long why have they not drawn the connections between them and the eevees.
8973681
The pokemon aren't necessarily being pulled from the pokemon world though. They could just be being summoned from nowhere in particular. And for that matter, what would they have to go on to draw a similarity? The Eevees look nothing like anything that's been summoned, and the only similarity is their abilities, which no one has paid too much attention to on the summons side because that's just how summons work, and everyone thinks that the Eevees just do this stuff naturally. One of the telepaths could tell their linked pony, but they seem to not really want to, and understandably so.
Just a heads up: Luna's telepathy text is REALLY hard to read with night-mode turned on. You may want to consider using a different shade of blue, or give it some kind of background color to help it stand out more.
8973730
Okay, but what if... what - shut up man let me finish - what if when they summon something from the Eievui family tree and pull one of the group already in Equestria? Like they’re like “Oh, Eievui tree branch “Booster”? It’s got such a normal sounding name”, but then it’s ZANN standing in the circle!
8973653
considering how luna reacted to his fnaf-mare i wonder how it would have been had he gone the ol freddy path... we may never know
so why did you change the CMC cutiemarks they have people to help with there marks.
So you don’t need chaos to be in the garden to affect Discord’s prison. I wonder what kind of evees would hatch from the non-sexual acts.
You know... I'm going to be a Crazy Person and go Waaaaayyyyy out on a limb here...
(Fingers crossed I don't fall before I get back to the trunk)
Despite most signs pointing to Glaceon for her, we know that Leo is going through some severe psychological issues at current. Her Id, Ego and Superego are not in alignment, and if her dream was more than just a dream, then we can guess that Discord is involved in keeping them apart somehow. If that is indeed the case, this is something that seems unique to Leo, which tells me that for some reason or another Discord is afraid of Leo’s Mind. She is frighteningly loyal and stalwartly grateful and affectionate to Rainbow Dash, which begs the question to me how she hasn’t evolved already. I hypothesize that the catalyst for her Eeveelution will be some event that triggers her fractured mental state coming back together, most likely something where the Other Eevees won’t be able to help her and where her currently fractured mental state gets in the way of her overcoming whatever challenge is before her, forcing her to pull herself back together. Overcoming the barriers in understanding put between her Ego and Superego, and the mental chains keeping her Id apart will then catalyze in her evolution into an Espeon, the most mentally powerful Eeveelution.
Also, if she learns telekinesis as one of her evolutionary moves and is strong enough with it she could use it to then facilitate self-locomotive flight so she could fly with Rainbow Dash ALA Starlight Glimmer Style.
I base part of this theory off of the note at the end of Cinders to Ashes, where we find a note from Zann telling us to “Ask Leo” concerning not always getting what we want, and think this might be a hint that Leo’s eventual Eeveelution may be something no one (or at least very few have) has guessed at yet.

Because the AU component is starting to divert Canon off the Rails via butterfly effect, and there's nothing saying the CMC can't still help other ponies discover and rediscover their cutie marks. It simply won't be a major focus of theirs compared to their work with summons in the future.
EDIT: Corrected Telepathy for Telekinesis.
8974552
I mean, alternate timelines can do that. You can't really believe that they would get the exact same Cutie Mark when they've already drastically altered themselves from their canon counterparts.
8973965
Ha! That would be hilarious!
8974462
I can just imagine the expression on her face.
8974937
*Zann appears in circle with rubber duck* Do you mind? I was having a bath. *squeaks duck*
8974631
Yeah, I’m hoping Leo become the Espeon too
I'm kinda disappointed it was DT and SS like 90% of other stories.
8974631
If we're speculating that Discord is afraid of Leo, then she's obviously going to be Sylveon, after all Discord is part Dragon, and Dragon is weak to Fairy ;^)
well...shit went down while i was gone good chapter hope for more soon
Like the fnaf 4 referens.
8974631
The biggest thing that stands out with leo is her gender swap for mow, but this is a very good point.
Moving on ...
Word Choice Error: Nopony

Somehow I always visualize the moment when Abes lights up his rings before coming through the door like the one when Genji activates the lights on his augments in the Overwatch Short 'Dragons' ... does that fit?
I KNOW IT! bloody entiteld brats... anyway the crusaders DESTINY is changed forever...

I mean it was obvious when Diamond was seen with a red bound book and apple bloom couldn’t find the summoning book

Imagine that all the other Nightmares are there it'll be a fucking shit show
Finely the truths coming out.

I'll have to double check this one later, the sentence looks right to me as is.
Dream Eater anyone?
Luna, Abes is a Dark-type. This is completely normal of them.

But before he was dark, he was a human, and he hasn’t been darker than a deranged human who’s already had a bad day... Or that every day of your life is a bad day
The horrible acts committed are passed by word of mouth, through the internet and suddenly everyone knows how far the human being can reach and will be surprised when they discover a new point that they can reach
