Greetings from the Ghost Zone Part 1 of 4: Gathering Bairings
Sunset couldn't see or hear anything, all she remembered was entering a bar after being bullied by her peers accusing her of being Anon-A-Miss, and she couldn't remember anything past that.
All she could feel was something slimey all around her.
Suddenly Sunset's vision was starting to come back and when she opened her eyes, Sunset saw that she was surrounded by a dark green void.
"Wha, where am I, what is this place," Sunset said to herself.
Suddenly out of no-where, a green skinned creature with red glowing eyes charged straight her a gave off a loud scream.
"Please, don't hurt me," Sunset said as she braced for its attack, but she saw that the creature phased through her body.
Just as she was getting back on her feet she noticed that she was invisible, as soon as she was visible again, she then saw that her body was as normal as it was when she was alive, except for the fact that her eyes were now bright red and her skin was green.
"What in the," Sunset said. "Why do I have red eyes, why is my skin green, WHAT IS GOING ON!" Sunset said, having a severe panic attack.
Just then, a shadowy figure overheard Sunset's ranting and went to investigate.
"Well, hello there pretty girl, where have you been all my afterlife," The shadow said.
"Who are you and where am I?" Sunset said shakily.
"The names Specter, Sweet-cheeks," Specter said. "And you are in your permanent new home. Welcome to The Ghost Zone."
Prologue: Greetings from the Ghost Zone: It's a Ghastly Surprise
"The Ghost Zone, what are you talking about," Sunset said in utter shock. "This has all got to be some kind of bad dream."
"Oh trust me honey, this is no dream, and it's only as bad as you make it," Specter said.
"How do you know that I'm dead right now," Sunset said in protest.
"Because I'm the Ghost Zone's resident soul collector, or as you humans call it, The Grim Reaper," Specter said. "I know the causes of death for every soul that enters the Ghost Zone."
"It all started when you drunkenly wobbled into your apartment room," Specter said. "In your drunken stupor you accidentally dropped a lit match onto the ground, the rest was a chain reaction."
"So I burned to death," Sunset said.
"Yep, that's the gist of it," Specter said. "In fact when you first came here, you were at first a soulless little green ball of Ectoplasm, so I've been keeping a watchful eye on you until you grew to the form you have right now."
"So what happens now," Sunset asks. "What will I eat and where will I sleep?"
"i will get to that if you will let me finish," Specter said. "Unlike Earth, The Ghost Zone is a shapeless void that is able to expand infinitely. The Ghost Zone does and does not exist in any feasible or non-feasible time era, Ranging from the beginning of time itself to the early 1850's to the modern day.
"And that means," Sunset asked.
"It means that no matter where or when your in the Ghost Zone, you will be everywhere and every-when because they all exist at once and not exist at the same time," Specter said. "I know this may all sound confusing, because it is.
"There are two forms of life that exist in the Ghost Zone," Specter said.
"For example, I am classified as a Native, or a being that was created within the Ghost zone," Specter said. "While you however, are known by many as a spirit, or the soul of a deceased human being that gets caught within the Ghost Zone's ecto-kinetic field."
"Basically the living world and the Ghost-Zone are opposite anomalies of each other," Specter said. "Two sides, same coin."
"Oh and one more thing, now that you are a spirit, your ecto-filled body will prevent any obstacles that could affect bodily functions, which means you cannot eat, sleep...or leave."
"WHAT," Sunset shouted in utter shock. "So I'm stuck here forever, huh."
"Not exactly," Specter said. "Thanks to my Mirror of Misfortune, I can allow you to see into the living world, just to see how your friends have been affected by your departure.
As Sunset looked upon the Mirror of Misfortune, she saw that not much had changed, she saw that only Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity were mourning over Sunset's death. As Rainbow-Dash was too Arrogant and Apple-Jack was too prideful to accept that Sunset wasn't Anon-A-Miss. In fact , it was because this that Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarities friendship with Rainbow and Apple-Jack was severed.
Rarity asked them what Princess Twilight would think about what happened, but it's what Apple-Jack said next that made Sunset's blood boil.
"Hah, you think I care about what that Princess thinks," Apple-Jack said. "About her belief that Sunshit could be reformed. Well news-flash, she was more of an idiot than she actually realized. People like her can't be reformed, it's just not possible, my belief is this, once a villain, always a villain. Sunset Shimmer is no more, and there's no point in mourning someone who doesn't deserve mourning, all I can say is...Good-Bye and Good Riddance."
This caused Sunset to start trembling in rage, this also caused her body to start changing as it was surrounded by green ecto-kinetic energy.
Her eyes glowed a bright red while her hair turned into green flames.
"Oh, I wish your apple trees would just ROT AND DIE!" Sunset roared.
This had a strange chain reaction in the living world as it caused a toaster to launch itself off a table and smack Applejack in the back of her head.
"Woah, woah, easy there Fireball, let's not blow things out of proportion," Spector said with a worried look on his face.
Sunset then calmed herself down as flames on her hai dimmed a little, only to start crying from her utter hopelessness.
"Oh, what did I do to deserve any of this," Sunset said, crying tears of lava. "Huh, my tears are made of lava, what is happening?"
"Oh I forgot to say," Spector said. "While you are inside the Ghost Zone, you'll be continuously absorbing ecto-energy. The more Ecto-Energy you absorb, the stronger you get. So, I guess you're some kind of Fire-based Ghost."
"So what happens now, am I just doomed to roam this empty void forever," Sunset said.
"Will you stop interrupting me," Spector said with an irritated look on his face. "Anyway, as I was about to say, the ghost zone is not an "empty void," there are other ghosts that inhabit this world, and if you want to travel through the ghost zone without completely losing your sanity, I'll lend you a guide." Spector said as he snapped his fingers.
Sunset then felt a cold chill flow through her ghost body, as she saw a object that appeared like a school titled Crystal Prep Academy, appeared right in front of her.
"Wendigo, I need your assistance," Spector said.
Suddenly, the school doors opened as a ghost who appeared to be a school girl, but who had antlers on her head and her blue skin was covered in ice, appeared with a groggy look on her face.
"Yawn, Ok Spector, you better have a good reason as to why you interrupted my napping," Wendigo said with an irritated tone in her voice.
"I need you to guide this new ghost through the zone, and introduce her to her new neighbors," Spector said.
"Sure thi..." Before Wendigo could say anymore, she saw the lost soul Spector was talking about, and she was the most beautiful creature that she had ever seen.
"Oh my, where have you been all my after-life," Wendigo said.
"Sunset...you know, calling you Sunset all the time, is gonna give me a headache," Spector said. "So I'm gonna call either of these three names, The Deep-Disher, Flame Fright, or Fire-Brat, take your pick."
"Hmm, Flame Fright sounds cool," Sunset said.
"Either name works for me," Wendigo said in a lovey-dovey voice as she childishly giggled.
"Flame Fright, this is Wendigo," Spector said. "Her former name was Twilight Sparkle or Sci-Twi for short, and her death was a tragic one. She was once a student of Crystal Prep where she fell madly in love with one of the school's jocks. That was until she found out that he did all of it to make his ex-girlfriend feel jealous, and so he broke up with her after leaving her alone at the fall formal."
"Her soul hurt beyond repair by her would-be lover's betrayal, she later died in her dorm room, from a broken heart," Spector said sadly. "However in order to cover up her death, her wicked principal Abacus Cinch locked her body in the school freezer, however, two students named Indigo Zap and Lemon Zest, exposed Cinch for her crimes and the school was then forced to close its doors forever."
"Many people mistake her saddened spirit for a creature from Native American folklore of the same name," Spector said.
"Aww, let's forget about sad memories and that no-good heart-breaker, let's go meet my friends and all the other Ghosts in the Ghost Zone," Wendigo said. "SPIKE!"
Suddenly, a large shadowy mass erupted from the school and turned into a humanoid shape, although with no legs. It then transformed into a car.
"Take us to Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, and Pinkie Pie," Wendigo said. Spike gave a thumbs up as he started driving to their respective part of the Ghost Zone.
"Wait, Pinkie Pie is dead," Sunset thought to herself in horror. "What could've happened, oh this day is getting weirder and weirder."
As they drove off, a shadowy figure was watching from afar, as it revealed itself to be none other then Vlade Plasmius, "Oh, it's gonna get much worse than that my dear, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!"
(Will continue in Prologue: Greetings from the Ghost Zone Part 2 of 3: Meeting the Many Ghosts of the Ghost Zone).

Be sure to Leave a like and to leave a comment below to tell me how my story is so far.
He's a Phantom.
Look i'm sorry, but this is not a story for me.
The whole ghost with new names for no reason is odd.
It would have been better I think if the 2nd ghost thing had called for twilight, and Sunset reacted to a ghost the moved like a windigo was coming at her.
Maybe then have them use nick names based on how they act or died. Maybe Sunset does it 1st for Twilight because of know the other Twilight.
Ohh, Danny Phantom Cross-Over? Adding it to the reading list, I'll be sure to check it out later
11277692
Will flame fright encounter Danny phantom? Is flamefright be a vengeful ghost?
11278048
probably ruin the apple farm ruin dash's sports career all easy and perfectly petty things to do
So any chance that a certain 'Master of Time' might show up to help Sunset and Sci-Twi get a chance at not dying in the first place?
11278317
Maybe, we’ll just have to wait and see.
I know you won't do it but if you could, I have one very small request. See that a huge tidal wave of comeuppance strikes Ms. Stubborn Sally here.
11277867
I'm in the same boat on the names. Why would he find calling her "sunset" annoying? Then give her three longer options? It feels weird. I imagine the names to be ones given to them by humans who deal with them/run into them, ect. Instead of just "You're dead! Here's your new name!"
He's a phantom
Young Danny Fenton, he was just 14,
When his parents built, a very strange machine.
It was designed to view, a world unseen.
He's gonna catch em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom!!!
So no ghost portal
11278447
Applejack is getting a huge ammount of Karma coming after her, her pride, and her family's name.
Ice and Fire let's see what happens!!!
