Chapter 1: Another Pinkie Pie?!


"And thus, that's how my little story has ended. Got to admit, it's a keeper." Golden Heart said as he concludes his story of his journey. Twilight writes in the info of the Shadow Dragon as well as Deadblast. "Writing down more info, Twilight?"

"Yes, especially about Shadow Dragon." Twilight said with a sigh of concern. "He seems to be like Luna, falling deep in the dark side but different."

"Yes. Mom, what happened to Shadow Dragon that turned him bad?" Ben asks his adopted mother in concern. There must be some reason as to what drove Shadow Dragon to the dark side in the first place.

Celestia looks down in sadness as if the story of Shadow Dragon was too much to bear. Just then, an impatient knock is heard at a door nearby. Golden Heart, noticing, remarks, "We will have to save that for later. She is getting impatient."

"Well, may as well see whose it is that cannot wait. It can't be anyone bad." Rainbow snaps as she goes over to the door and opens it. "Hey, can't you..."

"Your number just came uuuuuup!" Pinkamena Diane Pie remarked, appearing on the other side, much to Rainbow's shock and horror.

The mare respond by screaming, "GAH; BRR BRR BRR BRR BRR BRR BRR!" Rainbow then...faints, much to her friends' shock.

"Whoa! Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo exclaims, rushing over to check on her friend. "Are you okay?"

"You went overboard with that line, sis." Golden Heart said to Pinkamena with an annoyed sigh.

"Sorry, big bro!" Pinkamena exclaims with a creepy giggle. "Can't help myself."

"'Sis'," Twilight ask in shock and disbelief, "'Big bro'?!"

Applejack holds up a jug of apple cider, waving it over Rainbow. She sniffs it and wakes up, asking, "Is that Apple Cider?!" The mare got up and drinks the beverage. "That's..."

Rainbow soon saw Pinkamena then she spits out her drink in horror, screaming before hiding behind Celestia. The mare screams, "Ponies, run! It's her; The creepy lookalike of Pinkie who lives in her secret dungeon that she keeps underneath Sugarcube Corner for some reason!"

"Relax, I won't hurt you." Pinkamena said to Rainbow, bouncing over, freaking the Pegasus pony.

"Are you kidding?! You gave me and most of Ponyville the 'brrs' that one Nightmare Night! We would've still be shaking if it weren't for Pinkie..."

"Oh hey Pinkamena," Pinkie exclaims happily, shaking hooves with Pinkamena. "Wow! So you get to meet my friends?"

"Yep! Was busy, what with the Light Elves, the robots, the freaking out, blah, blah, blah," Pinkamena exclaims happily to the real Pinkie.

"Wait, Pinkie...do you know her?" Twilight ask Pinkamena in surprise.

"You kidding; she has been living in my secret dungeon for years!" Pinkie giggles to Twilight happily. "I always knew her!"

"Come on out, Rainbow, my sister won't hurt you, I Pinkie Promise." Golden Heart assures Rainbow, who looks at him skeptically and at Pinkamena in worry.

"Yeah; He wouldn't dare to break a Pinkie Promise!"

Rainbow groans and came out of hiding, trying to keep herself from freaking out. She asks, "She is your adopted sister, Golden Heart? How is that possible?"

"That's a story that Pinkamena can tell you herself." Golden Heart said to Pinkamena with a smile. "Don't ya, sis?"

"Right, but first, some hoof shakes!" Pinkamena exclaims happily. She begins shaking hooves, licking noises (making Rarity a bit disturbed by that). After Pinkamena greets everypony in a humor like way, she looks at Ben Mare and moves up to him, "Hello there Ben Mare, wielder of the Triforce and the Master sword and I see you got some gear a lot like Link does."

"Um how you..." Ben Mare begins to ask, getting a bit surprised and awkward.

"I read lots of books on my free time and I know your ancestor really well but for now lets get on with the story." Pinkamena explains. She leaps onto a pillow as Ben was puzzled but decides to sit with Twilight and Nyx as she begins to tell her story. "It begins years ago...in a universe far far away..."

-----------------

Pinkie Pie was minding her own little mind of things, doing things like bouncing around all happy like. Just then, she stumbles upon a little item off a monument from some old relic of a ruins spot.

“Oh, that looks interesting!” Pinkie Pie smiled off happily in seeing this intriguing little object. “Lets have a looky see at what this is.” She happily stated in thinking it be worth a little look see.

Once Pinkie Pie bounce closer, she saw the item that appeared like a talisman plate of what was crafted like a white & black tiger ’S’ form.

“Ooooh, so authentic, so ancient, so…” As Pinkie Pie was describing this, she began to realize she had no idea what this was. “Um, I don’t know what else it is, but it may be worth inspecting.” Pinkie stated in thinking that she needed to get up close and possibly touch this to better understand what she’s stubble upon.

Soon this Pinkie Pie raised her left hoof to touch the relic plate and that’s when an unexpected glow appeared before it flash brightly at her.

“Woooohhh,” Pinkie Pie yelped from the over brightness that was happening from her spot, “Ahhh…./Urrarrrruuarrghhh!” Pinkie Pie was making weird moan cries while sounding like it was splitting into two different parts. And then suddenly, something from Pinkie Pie’s coat was pointing across from her and looked like she was shedding, but it was the opposite; something was beginning to reconstruct it’s self near the pink pony. And it looked like it was taking the form of the real Pinkie Pie.

The new Pinkie Pie felt almost too surprise, and then accidentally touched the relic object that glowed brightened.

“Wuaaaaughhh,” Both the real & clone mare screamed out as then another trigger event had occurred. A strange black mist was ripping off from the two ponies before the relic felt overloaded and then cause an implosive blast that knock the real Pinkie Pie, then the other pink pony and the two black smog off which the later ones went a further distance and somehow…were merged.

Those that were across by the furtherest apart by a mile distance lay there after that implosion force. It wasn’t long before the real Pinkie Pie began to shake her head which made her eyeballs rotate around in a goofy way, which no one can explain, it’s just Pinkie Pie.

“Woah, what a rush,” Pinkie Pie wobbled off to stand up from feeling like she went through some crazy ride contraption. “Am I all here?” She asked this off before giving herself a full checkup, Pinkie Pie style. “Check, check, check, check, and….double check! Yep, all of me is here!” She nods in seeing she’s together, not a hair undone, she’s perfectly perfect as any Pinkie Pie pony would be, and that’s saying something.

“Uuuagh….” There was a moan that sounded like it came from Pinkie Pie, but her lips never moved.

“Wait, did I just moan, sure sounded like me. But my lips didn’t move, so how could I moan like I’m unwell if my lips never moved unless I’m doing now, in which case I…” Pinkie Pie was randomly talking out in being confused in hearing one thing, but it was not from her, or was it. And this would have gone on to annoy even the dream viewers like anyone listening if something didn’t speed this up.

“Uuuagh…” Then the moan was heard again, and this time, Pinkie Pie turn to see another pony that was laid down and seem to be in need.

“Great Celestia; another pony is near!” Pinkie Pie yelped off in noticing this before rushing over to check up on the pony that was in need. “Hay, are you okay?” Pinkie Pie asked off in kneeling down to help the poor pony that was in need up.

When Pinkie Pie took a good look at this new pony, she found out a few things. She was an Earth pony Mare who is similar as Pinkie Pie, but her appearance is more closely to when Pinkie Pie loses her bright colorful mood & her mane & tail deflated from feeling sorrow. Her eyes are a little small from view, appears like she has sharp teeth and she has that creepy look on her face. But pass all that stuff, and maybe a person wouldn’t feel like reacting to such an appearance, if they weren’t normal which in Pinkie Pie’s case, was just strange. And Pinkie Pie saw this pony lookalike of her with a slight difference in need of aid.

“Woah; did you know you look like me!” Pinkie Pie yelped in seeing this pony looks extremely like her.

“I…look like you?” The new Pinkie Pie responded in feeling herself regain her focus as she looked to the friend that was helping her.

“Yeppers, just with a tiny difference,” Pinkie Pie nods off to say while making a clear statement of what makes the two ponies different. “Lucky thing I have a mirror with me, just to show some ponies that can’t see what I see.” She issued off from using a moment to pull out a mirror from nowhere.

Then Pinkie Pie showed the new pony her reflection and it was the first time the pink pony saw…what she look like, especially the face that seem creepy.

“Is that….who I look like?” The other Pinkie Pie asked off shock to study her face to tell the difference from her and the Pinkie Pie before her. “I…you and me look nothing alike.” She spoke in seeing that they are nothing alike, they look completely different even if they have the same Cutie Mark.

“Well of course silly, I mean, if we look the same, ponies couldn’t tell us apart!” Pinkie Pie instead smiled to make a positive response to such an issue. “I’m unique and you’re unique.” She pointed to her new friend in how things can go between them being who they are.

“You think I’m….unique? Despite me looking like….this?” The new Pinkie Pie asked off in shocking surprise to look at this situation and felt…a strange feeling of kindness.

“Well come on frowny-mic-frowny, don’t let a little gray ruin your day.” Pinkie Pie leans closer to smile in wanting to cheer this new pony up from feeling like everything was a down side. “I know when I feel sad, it makes me lose my color & mood, but when I feel happy, I’m bright & cheery!” She bounces up to happily issue in wanting them to be happy rather than feeling sad. “Oh, that reminds me? My name’s Pinkie Pie! What’s yours?” Pinkie Pie introduced herself and was awaiting who her new lookalike friend is.

“My name….um…I’m not sure.” The new Pinkie Pie slowly was taking a moment to process this, however…. “What should I be? If I’m you,” She can’t call herself Pinkie Pie if there already exist one, so who is she…really?

“Hugh. Well gee, I’m not sure.” Pinkie Pie responded off in hearing this and it suddenly came to her attention. “Last thing I knew, I touch that object and then I think you came out.” Pinkie stated to rub her noggin in recalling how she and the new pony came about after touching the weird object on that monument spot.

“I…remember that.” The new Pinkie Pie spoke in recalling how she was created during the sudden moment of it all. “I think I was…apart of you, and then from your mind I was taken and…given a body.” The new pony feels like she was a part of the regional Pinkie Pie, but is now free & now her own mare.

“Well then gee, I guess this makes it your birthday!” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say before she did a double look at what she said, “HUUUUAGH! I have to prepare to throw you a party!” She gasped out in realizing what a major deal this is, she needs to prepare a party.

“A party…for me,” The new Pinkie Pie responded of in almost being sick to hear something like this, a pony would give her a party?

“Yes!” Pinkie Pie nods with a smile in being more than willing to make that happen.

“Thank you…but….maybe I shouldn’t.” The new Pinkie slowly spoke in deciding that…maybe she shouldn’t be given a party.

“Awwww, why not,” Pinkie Pie frowns in hearing some pony doesn’t wanna have a party, who wouldn’t have one is just silly to her.

“I see myself, and can tell….” The new Pinkie Pie spoke from looking at her reflection in the mirror, and can see…she isn’t normal; she’s not even close to looking like the real Pinkie Pie. “I scare away ponies before I can even speak with them. I feel like I’m a clone of you, but I feel more of a fail one that doesn’t even fit in right.” She spoke in feeling like she’s nothing but a failed copycat that doesn’t look like Pinkie Pie, and one look at her appearance will make others see her as a…a…a scary freak show.

Pinkie Pie stood there in surprise, but not a happy one, this one felt….sorrow. This new deform pony feels like she won’t fit in, won’t be a part of the world, all cause she doesn’t look normal. But this pony is Pinkie Pie, and seeing that, the real Pinkie Pie knows that deep down, this pink pony has the same kinda feelings as she does about learning about the brighter side of the good things and not just focus on the bad.

“Well…how about a party for the two of us to celebrate, since we were together during this whole you coming into existence thing.” Pinkie Pie smiled to pat her friend on the back in making a suggestion that was more to help a shy pony overcome her doubts.

“Really…so…you aren’t afraid of being seen with…me?” The New Pinkie Pie asked off in almost being surprised by what this mare was willing to do…and for her.

“Course not! And I’ll tell you what.” Pinkie Pie smiled off in mentioning another fact to help fix this pony having doubts about fitting in. “I’ll show you the good in all things & show you about helping those in need. And before any pony knows it, they’ll love to get to know you.” Pinkie felt that if she can help this pony know a few things, then she can slowly build up and learn to be better, and by then…those that once feared her will come to look pass the appearance to see the inner part.

“Really…?” The new pink pony responded in almost feeling hopeful in those very words.

“I Pinkie Promise; Cross my Heart and Hope to Fly, Stick a Cupcake in my Eye!” Pinkie Pie made a vow of a promise to swear in keeping to what she’ll go for. “Trust me, in the days to come, I’ll show you the ropes, and it will be in as easy as pie.” As she stated that part out, something suddenly came to her. “What a second. Pinkie….Day….In…Pie….I GOT IT!” She shouted with a bigger smile on her face in coming to new terms in something in what she said, “How would you like to be called; Pinkamena Diane Pie, Pinkamena for your first name.” She stated in what this new pony can be called, after all, she is like Pinkie Pie, but different, so a unique name is needed.

“Pinkamena Diane Pie…I like it.” The pink pony responded in slowly beginning to show a happy smile across her face. “That’s who’ll I will be, thank you….friend.” She smiled to feel something, hope & happiness and to see that even if Pinkamena was just some random part from the real Pinkie Pie’s noggin, she can live as her own pony.

And soon the two pink ponies began to leave while having a chat & getting to know another. 

Unknown to the two, something from a farther view is...glowing a black aura. That’s right; the two dark mists that came from both Pinkie Pies had been shot further away and somehow came into contact. But the dark mist slowly was taking form into a pony shape of some kind. And soon a new creature seem to be in the neighborhood as it made a creepy, but more evilly wicked smile in seeing the two Pinkie Pies leaving the scene.

In a couple of scenes that took place with Pinkamena & Pinkie Pie’s time together, they done a lot of things in the alternate world that the two were from. A scene shows that in this alternate world, Pinkie Pie decided to learn about swordsmanship, and was teaching Pinkamena how to use it; As well as a few good fight stances when she is unarmed at any situation.

Soon the event scenes that were happening continue to pass by, showing Pinkie Pie gathering ponies around to meet Pinkamena. At first, they all were shocked, but Pinkie Pie said to not let one’s appearance be judge, but by their actions. And the citizens slowly began to give it a try, giving Pinkamena test after test, and she was slowly starting to fit in.

Then another scene began to play out in where we see Pinkamena was with Pinkie Pie, still training in the ways of the sword. But there is a difference, while everything seems the same, the truth was…Pinkie Pie seem a little more older.

Then more scenes began to move across, the passing of all other ponies that Pinkie Pie & Pinkamena knew are getting older. Even the Cutie Mark Crusaders have reached the adult age and have gone off to start a Cutie Mark Crusaders travel group service across Equestria. But as the years were passing, the Mane Six have lived their lives to the fullest, each one soon….passing on in the afterlife, even Twilight Sparkle who in this world didn’t become an Alicorn. And through all of it, Pinkie Pie looked about to be the only one left and even Pinkamena remain still unchanged. Perhaps this is the side effect of the item that was used: Pinkamena became Semi-Immortality.

Pinkie Pie was now seen as old as Granny Smith of the Apple Family, she lie in her bed while Pinkamena was near her bedside with a sad frown. The latter was still the same young form as always, but her mind & expression spoke otherwise.

“Why so glum, my little pink buddy,” Old Pinkie Pie spoke in looking to the one who seems to be having trouble in her thoughts.

“I’m sad because I feel like everything I had…is slipping away.” Pinkamena spoke in feeling like she was beginning to become very sad now. “I learned that I am indeed , not normal, not even normal like you…Pinkie Pie.” She spoke with almost sounding heartbroken in what will soon be taking place; the truth of her being different.

“Hehehe…cough-cough….” Old Pinkie Pie let off a laugh, but instead coughs a bit before catching her breath. “I was never normal, haaaaugh-haaaaahh….you know that, right?” She took a deep breath before expelling it to say that she was not seen as a normal pony, why would that be any different for Pinkamena.

“But it’s true, I may have your Pinkie Sense, and learn to fight & wield a sword like you, but I’ve come across ‘other’ talents.” Pinkamena spoke from feeling sorta blue about what she can do from Pinkie’s teachings, but she has other abilities different from hers. “Like I feel like any danger I was in like when I helped save a colt from a landslide of rocks, I managed to come out unscratched, but…it only feared the citizens.” She explained in what should have been a terrible incident, there was none, but that still left a problem.

“Why…?” Old Pinkie Pie asked off in hearing this story at the moment.

“Cause that should have given me some bruises or cuts, yet all that happened was that I got dirty.” Pinkamena explained about what should be natural, but was unnatural that it surprised her the most. “That, and that some say I’m just a clone of you that can’t age and I’m…..curse.” She sighs in feeling depress that now the citizens of a new generation, see her as not a normal pony, but more of an ageless Pinkie Pie clone thing.

“No, no…cough, no…you’re not.” Old Pinkie Pie coughs off to protest to her friend of saying such things, even if it’s half true. “You’re more unique then you think.” She pats her friend’s hoof to calm her down over such matters.

“But I did something strange.” Pinkamena spoke off in feeling that she performs something more strange than normal. “And then before I knew it, one gaze from me made a pony that badmouth me end up going…Brrrrr, like he felt a shiver of chill of cold and fear.” She explained about a move that made a pony feel the chill of fear, gave them the shivers; Most likely her ‘Brrrr’ ability.

“Hugh, well maybe that can be a move you make in your fights.” Old Pinkie Pie thought about it for a minute before giving advice about using such a move.

“How can you be so calm while you may leave me all alone,” Pinkamena protest in hearing this, her friend is about to leave the world of the living, and she doesn’t feel bother by it at all. “All the things I’ve ever done, all because you showed me how….I’ll always remember it, but I’ll feel sad if you’re the last love one to leave me!” Pinkamena explained herself about remembering what Pinkie Pie here has taught and shown her, but if her friend caring friend leaves, she’ll have no one left, everyone else that knew her so well are all…gone.

“Heh, I’m truly sorry myself.” Pinkie Pie sighs a bit in understanding the issue of what’s happening here. “Cough-cough, but don’t threat, you’ll find some pony to who will watch over you as you watch over them.” As she was coughing, she smiled to say that there will still be someone to be with Pinkamena and both will watch the other’s back once this lookalike of her finds it.

“But who; Celestia & Luna are nice, sure, but it’ll be bad image for them if they have a freaky looking Pinkie Pie clone that hangs in the castle?” Pinkamena asked off in knowing she can’t be with the two Royal Sisters, they have their subjects to think about and avoid upset mobs from losing faith in the princesses just cause of her.

“Then you must search for your answers. Cough-cough….” Old Pinkie Pie was saying while also coughing a bit once again in making a statement. “I have….something for you.” She spoke to reach across her bed in wanting to give it to Pinkamena.

Soon Old Pinkie Pie pulled up a cloth wrapped up to give to Pinkamena to unwrap for her to hold something. A long gray-white sword with its handle in the form between two 'C' letters of left & right & an upper case 'T' form, with a rod above the handle with a long two edge pointed centers from the bottom to the near top like two diamonds forge shape. This left even the other Pinkie Pie looking pony to gasp in seeing what she was just handed, the sword that this alternate Pinkie Pie had specially forge and crafted as her weapon…is now in the young pony’s possession.

“This sword…it’s….yours.” Pinkamena was slowly speaking in realizing what Pinkie Pie was giving to her that left her shock to believe this.

“Not anymore, now…cough-cough…it’s yours to keep.” Old Pinkie Pie coughs a bit in issuing that at this moment, the special sword of hers belongs to this pony. “You must….Pinkie Promise me…that you must help keep those you care for safe, and to never feel sad, and that you will find a friend who would not be afraid of you.” She asked in wanting the pony beside her to make a promise that she’ll keep those she cares about safe, to never feel sadness and that she’ll find somepony that irony that won’t be afraid of Pinkamena’s appearance.

“But I…I…” Pinkamena was about to speak against the idea that seem impossible, but….

“Cough-cough, Aw-cough-cough…promise…” Old Pinkie Pie coughs a bit more in pleading on her sick dying bed, that this pony will keep the promise.

“I…I…” Pinkamena was almost having the hardest time saying no to the eyes of her friend, and soon…she gave in. “I will try to keep such an important Pinkie Promise.” Yep, this was a dying request, so she’ll horn or it because Pinkie Pie here wants it, and so she must do it. “I just hope….that it’s not too big of a matter that may seem impossible.” She replied in grasping the sword in her hooves, feeling that just finding some pony that will accept her no matter the difference seems like a hard case to follow, but she’ll have to try….she’ll have to.

“Hmm…nothing is impossible.” Old Pinkie Pie smiled to say that such doubt can be overcome. “I know the road maybe hard, it may be unbearable to you who had a long life to live, but remember….” As she was speaking, her eye lids began to feel heavy to her but she tries to make the words. “Those you care for are those you can call true friends…..and a true family you can depend on.” As she spoke, Old Pinkie Pie grasps her hoof gently around Pinkamena to help encourage her some. “I know you’ll find them….just follow…..your…..heart.” Old Pinkie Pie was slowly speaking with her gentle voice, as she got quieter & quieter in making this claim before…her eyes shut afterwards.

And then at that moment, all things suddenly went quiet, even the lit candles felt a sudden breeze from an open window. As Pinkamena stood there, holding the elderly Pinkie Pie’s hoof, she began to feel something…cold. She looked to see it was the hoof of the pony she was near, her furry coat started to dry, her flesh under the fur felt cold & dry without heat and there by the mare’s face….no air was breathed in. This could only mean one possible explanation, and it’s not a pleasant one.

“Pinkie….Pie,” Pinkamena spoke in almost touching her friend’s hoof & head, hoping for a reaction, but…. “Huuuagh,” She gasps with tears building up in fearing the worst: Pinkie Pie’s life has…expired. “No….No….Don’t leave me yet! Please! PLEEEEAASE,” Pinkamena came over close to her last friend as she soon hugs her in pleading she wasn’t dead. “Noooohooowwwughhh….” She lets out a wail that none around could hear Pinkamena’s cries for the loss of her once being; Pinkie Pie.

Now the scenery is filled with a sad atmosphere of hearing one’s tears when they cried over the bed of a soul that has left the plain of the living. 

-------------

"I was all alone without Pinkie Pie- from my world- ever since." Pinkamena said sadly.

The ponies feel sad, even Rainbow felt sad and guilt about the way she was treating her.

"Wow; that is so...sad!" Rarity sobs as she hugs Pinkamena. "I never knew you would have a sad story."

"Yeah, I guess if we look past your scary teeth and your words from 'Cupcakes', we would see that you ain't so different." Sweetie said to Pinkamena with a smile.

"You really think so?" Pinkamena asked with a smile.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Sweetie said, doing the Pinkie Promise. "I couldn't break the Pinkie Promise because we know how you and Pinkie are with them."

Pinkamena giggles a bit then said, "Okie dokie lokie. So where was I?"

"Ah done thunk yew're having a sad trip." Apple Bloom points out to Pinkamena.

"Yes, thank you! So after the death of my poor Pinkie Pie, I felt bummed for a while..." Pinkamena said as she resumes her story.

--------------------------

The scene shows what looks like Pinkamena that had awoken from what was a couple of passing days when Pinkie Pie passed away. She looked to a nearby mirror to find her expression changed from having terrible nights, she looked ready to snap and throw the mirror away. The pink pony felt like she was so upset, she left her area to just get her mind off of things.

The first bunch was pranking any nearby ponies that walked into a set trap made that snatched them, flung them into large custom pies or berry bushes or poison ivy, or bee hives. Most of which was Pinkamena seen doing, as she was laughing at this from afar, she believed that she needed to get rid of sad stress by doing something funny. Then came when her pranks went a little too far, like jettisoning ponies across a forest that crashed into houses, caught in strap tables to be tickled endlessly, and so forth that the joy was not funny, and especially when she pulled out the Brrrs on any pony nearby before vanishing.

Then one day, Pinkamena discovered a certain spell book in the library that was labeled 'Dimensional Travel' which explained one can travel from one world to visit another universe similar, but different to one’s own.

"This is it; my ticket to no longer being boring here, and where I can possibly meet up with those I remember!" Pinkamena exclaimed with a wide smile, and soon, went to prepare this spell to aid her in her travel.

Later, all the preparations were finished, and then Pinkamena chanted the words to which made a portal appeared that showed another Equestria, another world of ponies, and another world where the Mane Six were alive. She was so excited, that she quickly leaps through into the portal, and soon entered a new world to live in.

Course, another scene shows Pinkamena had entered another new world different from where she was. Turns out, she’s been alternate world hoping a few bits since her stay never lasted; until now. She had found her way into what was the prime world of Equestria. But the travel from the portal’s magic seems a bit more off than usual, and caused her to snap from her senses.

"Woah, weird, I feel like I can't remember much of the last world or two I been in." Pinkamena spoke from what felt like something caused her to lose a motion sense of her; she didn't understand it at the moment, like another side of her was piloting her during the travels. "Oh well, let’s see which pony I can meet and see if we can get together and have some fun." The pink pony exclaimed to shake off what she didn't understand to leave to find someone.

Pinkamena looks around then saw something flying around, giggling with a human boy. Danny remarks, "Ready, Surprise?"

"Ready! SURPRISE," Surprise exclaims as she and Danny dumps some water right onto Wind Whistler.

"Oh my," Wind Whistler exclaims in surprise, seeing water all over herself, "Who did that?"

"I don't know!" Pinkamena exclaims as she jumps up. "Maybe it's Ima Sillypony?"

"Ima Sillypony?" Wind Whistler ask confused to Pinkamena.

Danny and Surprise laughs along with Pinkanena. Wind Whistler blushed in realization, realizing that she was had.

"Oh yes, a good one," Surprise giggles as she flew to Pinkamena. "You sure know how to round that joke up!"

"Sure do!" Pinkamena exclaims as Danny climbs down. "I love to pull pranks, I loooove to have fun!"

"In that case, you will love it here in Ponyland." Danny said with a smile. "We got to show you around. My name is Danny."

"My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie!" Pinkamena exclaims happily as she leaves with her new friends.

-------------

"So you ended up in ponyland after you left the alternate universe you were in?" Twilight ask in amazement by the story.

Pinkamena nods, saying, "Yep. I was able to meet your ancestors along with the human girl Megan and Spike's grandfather." 

"Whoa." Spike said in amazement. 

"Indeed it was so. Pinkamena," Golden Heart said to Pinkamena. She nods and gets back to telling her story.

--------------------

Pinkamena spent a few months before she decided to continue on her way. The mare didn't wish to go but she wants to meet another Pinkie Pie.

"I wish you didn't have to go." Megan said in concern as Pinkamena is ready to head on her way. "I hate seeing friends go like this."

"I know but no worries, I will keep you in my memory." Pinkamena said, giving Megan a bit hug. "And I'm glad you didn't judge me because of my appearance."

"Thank you. If you find what you're looking for, mention us." Megan said with a smile.

Pinkamena say one last round of goodbyes, then opens a portal, heading off on her way.

But the pony that travels through worlds was off and had to wait a couple of years while being ageless. She met up with another generation of ponies, hanging around with them and learning and having fun. Pinkamena goes to another world...and ends up almost getting corrupted...but that's another story which involves Cupcakes and a phantom...

Soon, the Pinkamena of the past came into another timeline...where she's about to meet somepony who will change her life forever...

A new scene opens up to where we see what was Golden Heart, still as he appears in the present, but this was him in the past. He’s seen facing a large pack of Ursa Majors and Ursa Minors, and his handling of them was looking pretty grim. The stallion was seen fighting a hard and valiant battle, but the creatures were too much for one solo Alicorn to do. They threw their claws, tried biting with their fangs, let off strong wail cries that knock a small fry pony back from the wind pressure of their roars.

“Boy, looks like I’m in over my head! It takes another strong pony to help me clear up this mess.” Golden Heart issued in seeing this battle seems unyielding, he needs some assistance, but where can he get some at this crucial time.

Then without warning, a strange bunch of daggers were thrown across the air behind an Ursa Major that cut the big beast to back away. Goldie was surprise by that feat since normal attacks aren't that effective unless done by a strong individual, which he turns to see a new pony in the field. It was an Earth mare fighting with skills and strength along with swordsmanship against the Ursa packs.

“Woah, who is that pony; and she’s fighting the Ursa creatures as well as even a strong alicorn warrior would be.” Golden Heart responded with great amount of being surprise by this feat, an Earth pony was handling the big powerful Ursa creatures with no magic, but by sheer skills and feats. “Still, better help her out!” Goldie issued in snapping himself to focus, he can’t let his new ally take all the danger and decides to help.

Soon a battle went off where two lone ponies were fighting against the Ursa Majors and Minors, using both fighting skills and magic in different methods. Even one of Golden Heart's magic shots was powerful enough to knock an Ursa Major that crashed against a mountain side. After a few good couple of hours, the entire Ursa pack was packing it up to leave leaving the two ponies to sigh that the battle was over.

"Phew! Hey, thanks for the save back there.” Golden Heart sighed to give thanks to the one who helped him out.

"Huh?" Pinkamena yelped from seeing Golden Heart look to her as she turned away with a first worried expression.

"Um, is something..." The stallion almost said lost in thought, but...

"Don't look!" The pink pony just objects from wanting to be seen.

"Pardon," Now the stallion raised an eyebrow in not getting what was happening here.

"Don't look at me, look and you think I'm... scary." The pink pony made a lousy excuse over her appearance.

"Why?" Goldie asked in not getting what was wrong. Did this pony get hurt during those Ursa creatures? It can't be that.

"Because I'm... not like the other ponies.” Pinkamena slowly spoke about a case in hiding her appearance from the first reaction this stallion have if he saw her, the Alicorn get worried and freaked out like the rest.

Hearing that, Golden Heart teleported in front to see the pink pony's face; the mare was shocked, but as Goldie looked to her, he showed a friendly smile in not being scared.

"Your appearance isn't that much of a bother; I've seen it a few times when we fought those Ursa creatures." Goldie explained about already seeing enough of this pony that he knows what she looks like.

"Hugh...then...you see why I don't show myself!" The mysterious pink pony exclaimed this in confusion.

"While I can see your reasons for doing so... but that doesn't bother me at all." Golden Heart nods sternly in understanding why this pony doesn't wanna be seen, in knowing it freaks others out.

"Wha-Whaaat; Why," Pinkamena asked out of surprise, she never heard someone say that to her.

"Because I was never bothered by it when we were so busy fighting. And as we fought, I could see that you were fighting to help me that tell me plenty of who you are... on the inside." Golden Heart explains himself with a friendly smile about the situation.

"On... the inside," The mare related surprise to touch her chest, feeling, wondering, experiencing new thoughts.

“My name's Golden Heart, what’s yours?” Golden Heart spoke to introduce himself while holding out his hoof to prepare to shake the pony he was befriending.

The pink pony was hesitated, but one look at Goldie made her feel... okay around him.

"Pinkamena... My name... is Pinkamena Diane Pie." She slowly introduced herself to the newest pony she could almost consider to be a friend.

Soon Pinkamena took Goldie’s hoof to shake it, feeling... happy about this.

"Tell me, are you alone?" Goldie asked this question out of the blue.

"Ye... yes, I have no one. Friends, family, not even a home,” Pinkamena nods to the question, she has nothing.

"Well then, how we become BFFs?" Goldie offered the mare something with a smile.

"Best Friends Forever? You...... wanna go that far... for me?” The mare was shocked that someone would wanna be her friend forever, this was a surprise.

"Sure, you risked your life to save me, so therefore, we're friends for life." Golden Heart nods that this was not an average pony, and he like to be her friend.

Pinkamena smiled much to this and was about to respond when... she saw something.

"Hey look, over there! There's a secret spot from where that Ursa Major crashed into!" Pinkamena points in seeing something that happened during the battle.

Soon the two ponies were looking at a hidden area that was sealed from within the mountain region that was expose from a sudden impact by a large creature.

"A secret area with a secret treasure hidden from all pony eyes; I've heard some ponies hid their most valuable treasures in such places, I wonder..." Golden Heart responded in seeing this, this was something that needed to be explored.

Golden Heart and Pinkamena became curious of the discovery to explore the discovered sight. There within the secret place, a secret treasure was sealed tightly. It looked like some sort of battle armor that had a unique seal on it from a crest logo that was familiar to the stallion of the group. Golden Heart approached the armor to use his magic which unlocked the seal to allow him to use his magic to levitate the armor near the two ponies to study. It was an armor of its appearance being a different style than that 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 it's 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 and from the helmet for the mane, even around the waistline is a light-blue and tan yellow stripe line.

“I can’t believe my eyes, it’s the lost Horsefeather Armor!” Golden Heart exclaimed in deep surprise shock in what they had found.

"The who of the what now?" The mare asked in not knowing of such things.

"I heard tales of it my family spoke of it; that one of my ancestors wore the armor and became known as the 'Bird Of Prey' whenever challengers or foes came to face him." Golden Heart explained the matters of the armor and his family ties to it.

"Sounds pretty nifty," Pinkamena responded to liking the story so far now.

"Yes. But after his departure, no pony had been able to wear this armor because they had to earn it by proving themselves and their loyalty by defending the Alicorn royalty. It was later sealed away until the time would come, that a worthy wearer would come to claim it." Golden Heart explained much of the deep history involving the armor, and that it has not been seen... until today when they uncovered it during their first battle together.

"Hey, maybe it's you; it is from your family." Pinkamena stated an idea of the armor being meant for this pony.

Golden Heart then touched the armor to understand it better before pulling it back. But when Pinkamena touched it next from being curious, the armor made a strange magical glow that sense the pink pony’s touch sensation. She pulled it back which stopped the glow work, but left puzzling questions.

"Woah, that’s weird. Why it glow around me and not you?" Pinkamena asked this in not following this meaning.

"I think I know why... it's made its choice. The one worthy one to wear it... is you." Golden Heart turns to the pink pony in issuing that she is the one to don this armor.

"Me? But...I can't. It's your family's armor." Pinkamena yelped in surprise in seeing this, this left her shock.

"But you proved to be worthy when you saved to defend me." Goldie Heart explained the matter of why he wanted to do this. "As I am a member of my family, I entrust my family’s lost armor of old... to you. Let it be proof of our friendship and of loyalty you've shown." As he spoke this with a smile, he gave the armor the two found to the mare who 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 meant 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.

"I humbly accept this as proof of our friendship, Goldie. You don't mind me calling you that do you?" Pinkamena replied off to the stallion while slipping in calling him by a short nickname.

"Not at all," Golden Heart shook his head with a happy smile in liking the name.

The next few scenes soon show battles where Pinkamena either fought with or without the armor. And she didn't care how others look at her appearance, but judge from her inside part of who she really is. Pinkamena looked to Golden Heart from where they continued to fight against some forms of evil, and slowly began to build a brother-sister bond, like they were family. And another scene happened in which Goldie wants to let the pink pony know, he feels she is like a little sister he never had, and wonders if she felt the same with him; which was a yes. And thus began a friendship and family bound of these two ponies.

-----------------------------------

"We spend a few years together like brother and sister should." Golden Heart said, helping out with the story in the present. "She was of course with me when meeting and working with the Mystic Ponies."

"Ah, so she knows what happened to Shadow Crystal, right?" Ben ask hopefully. "Do you know what drove him bad?"

Pinkamena saw a sad look on the princess's face, who shook her head. She spoke, "Sorry, can't. Your mom doesn't want you to know that part just yet."

"Oh. Okay." Ben said in understanding.

"So what happened next?" Fluttershy asked Pinkamena with a smile.

"Well, over the years of working with Goldie, I decided to go around again...and that's where I met my newest best friend." Pinkamena said happily.

"Me!" Pinkie exclaimed, bouncing up and down, knowing whom Pinkamena spoke of.

The Royal Guard rushed in, "Princess Celestia!"

Princess Celestia sighed, "Guard, what is it?"

The Royal Guard shaked, "There's a pony in the Throne Chamber, that pony had a Royal Symbol, I only know that only the Royal Family had it!"

Princess Celestia shocked yells out, "Impossible!"

They rushed to the Throne Chamber as behind them, Pinkamena smirk as she knew who this pony might be...

As they enter the Throne Chamber, the group saw a pony who's sitting there as she looks at them with a smile.

The Unknown Pony smiled while speaking, "Howdy, What's up?"

Rainbow Dash rushed to the pony in rage as she flew face to face with the pony without noticing the pony's teeth.

Rainbow Dash yelled, "What's up?!? What's wrong with you?!"

The Unknown Pony laughed, "Oh, Rainbow Dash, Had ya recalled mah name, Tiger?"

Rainbow Dash shocked ask, "Tiger; As in Flare Tiger?"

Flare Tiger smiled as she answers, "Eeyup."

Rainbow Dash happily exclaims, "Whoa! I don't know you came here first! What's up?"

As they hoofbump, Flare Tiger noticed Golden Heart and Pinkamena as she chuckle.

Flare Tiger laughed, "Howdy, Golden Heart, Pinkamena!"

Golden Heart smiled while saying, "I'm glad to see you again, Flare Tiger."

Pinkamena smiled, adding, "You're all right! I thought you were dead for good."

They look shocked at Pinkamena then look at Flare Tiger.

Flare Tiger laughed, "Funny thing.... It's a long, very long story for me to tell, but Ah make promises to someone, Ah will never revealed everything that lie beyond."

Pinkamena nodded as Princess Celestia walked to Flare Tiger then stared at her.

Princess Celestia asked, "I demand to know how this Royal Symbol was in your hoof!"

Flare Tiger sighed, "Funny thing, Ah's really want to revealed that one, but mah granny told me, not to until she felt safe. By way, Ah guess ah drop by the wrong time?"

Pinkamena shake her head while saying, "No, you came right at the time, I was about tell the last story, how you and your father are involve in this story."

Flare Tiger smiled while speaking, "Oh! Let's me join in, please?!?"

Pinkamena smiled, "Sure."

They head back to Private Chamber as Flare Tiger sat on a pillow at same time; she pulled out popcorn out of her mane as the group was stocked at it, but not Pinkamena.

Flare Tiger confused respond, "What? Never see Luck Marker?"

Nyx asked, "What is Luck Marker?"

Flare Tiger answers, "Luck Marker is a Bender or a Warper as you can call it. But to other ponies, they thought of it, I started it. However, this Luck Marker had an ability to warning others and sense others too."

Princess Luna asked, "So, could Luck Marker bend space too?"

Flare Tiger smiled while answering, "Eeyup. That's only mah case, Ah can bend it very well as sew it back. Ah prefer to kept it as close as possible, Ah don't want to remember what happened if there's an opened hole which you can called it, the Raft. It's very dangerous and the only one to be able to close it was mahself."

Twilight surprised said, "That's explained; But what about Pinkie Pie's ability?"

Flare Tiger chuckled, "Pinkie Pie and Pinkamena can do Luck Marker but they're bit different from mine, which is there's bit ranks of different kinds of bend, but let's force on Pinkamena's story, please? Ah happily to explained what it's meant to be, but not now!"

They nodded as the group looked back to Pinkamena as she smiled and continue....

--------------------

Pinkamena soon came to meet the prime world version of Pinkie Pie, and though it was weird, they soon started to become friends while the latter wasn’t effected at first of seeing a familiar face. Pinkie Pie managed to quickly mades a secret dungeon for her new friend to live in under Sugarcube Corner and that’s where Pinkamena remain.

Then at last, a moment came where the prime world Rainbow Dash was tied to something and Pinkamena was about to really creep the pony out as this Pinkie Pie lookalike stares at Dashie with her freaky eyes.

“Your number is uppppp!” Pinkamena announced off with a creepy state.

“Waaaaughhhh,” Rainbow Dash screams out in terror in seeing those eyes that would give her the Brrrs.

But in a brief moment, Pinkamena blundered her action that she slip, her knife cut Rainbow’s rope restrains to free her, and the fast pony quickly got to work in which she friended herself and escaped at fast speed. Then Rainbow came to the dungeon’s door, and then shut it tight while locking the things.

“Aaaawwww and we were just getting acquitted!” Pinkamena pouts in feeling that the two were gonna start knowing the other.

Rainbow Dash was above the dungeon, where she was huffing and puffing while shivering all over from the effect of the Brrrs.

“Hey Dashie, what’cha doing over….” Pinkie Pie hops over to say happily, only to be cut off.

“Pinkie; we have to keep this door locked up all times, they’re a creepy lookalike of you that tried to do me in!” Rainbow Dash points out something in which she felt so scared, her life was flashing.

“Oh that’s Pinkamena Diane Pie; she’s my lookalike from another alternate world.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to issue this off, but was cut again.

“Then she’s a crazy part of you. Listen, we can’t let her out no matter what, she almost got me!” Rainbow debated the fact that whoever was in the secret dungeon, is too dangerous to be let out.

“Aw, do we have to keep her locked up?” Pinkie Pie mopes in feeling that’s a little mean.

“Yes, she gave me that weird thing, Brrr…..I still can’t shake it!” Rainbow Dash shook herself from feeling Goosebumps all over herself from what she experienced. “Listen; promise that no matter what, we keep her down there for every pony’s sake. It’s to make sure your….friend doesn’t hurt other friends. Okay?” She wanted to make sure that Pinkie Pie gets the point; it’s for Pinkamena’s own good.

“Well, if it’s for every pony’s sake and to keep a friend from harming another friend…hmm, okay?” Pinkie Pie hums to herself in thought for this a moment, then shrugs off in seeing it’s alright if it’s to help a friend out or something close.

And thus began when Rainbow Dash had Pinkie Pie keep the secret dungeon in place where that which was in there would not escape. Course as the hours & days go by, Pinkamena was left to let her thoughts wonder about her actions now, were they right or were they wrong? Ever since her old Pinkie Pie died & the effect of entering this prime world, her thoughts was disarranged.

“I’m bored again, I think I’m gonna make a secret escape path to get in and out of here and get out the main door when I wanna be know I’m free.” Pinkamena spoke off in issuing this idea of what she’ll do as she felt like wanting to get out and explore places.

And soon Pinkamena made her very own escape path from her dungeon and let herself loose around to give ponies the Brrrs as a fun game. From those times, Rainbow Dash felt that it was almost Pinkamena’s work and wonder if she escape, sometimes right in seeing it, but sometimes not always; Pinkamena done this for as long as anyone can know.

------------

"Anyway, besides the Brrs game, I usually helped out, especially during Lorcan's little war game." Pinkamena said with a smile.

"That explains it." Fluttershy said with a smile. "You're the one who gave us the note that told us about we're going to be rescued."

"Yep! I even helped Goldie fight off against Lorcan, I was kind of the behind the scenes kind of pony."

"Correct." Golden Heart said with a smile while nuzzling Pinkamena. "Pinkamena may be weird at times, but she is a kind little pony with a heart of gold...Golden Heart to be precise; Heh heh heh."

"And...well I want to tell the story about Flare Tiger and her father...but...I'm bored." Pinkamena said happily, making the ponies groan at this. "But if you want more, how about a little party?"

"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy," Pinkie exclaims, clapping her hooves together. "We can have a 'Welcome to Ponyville' for sure party for Pinkamena!"

"I think it sounds like a wonderful idea." Luna said with a grin. "After all, it's time Pinkamena get out of the secret dungeon and be around ponies without fear of appraisal."

Rainbow looks down, flying up to Pinkamena while saying, "Hey Pinkamena...sorry about all the times that I called ya 'freak' or got 'freaked out' by you. Didn't know how about a tragic life you have until..."

"Awww," Pinkamena exclaims as she hugs Rainbow, almost choking her. "You are sooooooo much of a good friend when you're like that, hee hee hee!"

"Choking...you're choking me..."

Chapter 2: The Home of Pinkamena


The Mane Six sat in their own compartment as they head back to Ponyville with their friends old and new. Imagine, another Pinkie Pie who was ageless as time itself. Ben is curious as to how much the mare knows...and when the time comes when he finds out what drove Shadow Dragon to madness in the first place.

Apple Bloom noticed Flare Tiger's mouth curiously when the other members of the Crusaders noticed her.

Nyx asked, "Apple Bloom, what you staring at?"

Apple Bloom answered, "Had ya notice 'dat Flare Tiger has fangs?"

Mare Six, the Dragons, the Cutie Mark Crustier members, and Ben exclaims in shock, "Fangs!?!"

Flare Tiger grin with teeth which show that there are fangs as she chuckle at their reaction.

Flare Tiger chuckled, "Finally, somepony noticed mah fangs!"

Fluttershy shake while asking in worry, "Are you're Changeling?"

Flare Tiger answers, "Changeling? No way! Ah'm hybrid type! Ya really are lucky, Ah'm an omnivore."

Applejack shocked ask, "Ya're a Carnivore!?!"

Flare Tiger sighed, "No, no, no, Ah said Omnivores, not Carnivore."

Nyx asked, "Mommy, what're Omnivores?"

Twilight answers, "Omnivores are all-eaters which are both Carnivore and Herbivore."

Flare Tiger proudly answers, "Eeyup!"

Ben asked, "I don't understand... How did you get these?"

Flare Tiger answers, "Family genes; by the way, Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow Dash asked, "Yeah?"

Flare Tiger smiled, "On mah way to Canterlot, ah did sent mah e-mail to ya, it has all informance about mah family. All answers that ya want know how ah able sent to ya so fast as easily is in there."

Rainbow Dash shocked respond, "What?!? I gotten get you for this!"

As they arrived at the Ponyville Station, they got off as Rainbow Dash flew out in speed. Flare Tiger laughed then turn around and sat down and waiting as Ben noticed her.

Ben asked, "What you doing?"

Flare Tiger smiled as she explains, "Waiting for mah lover and mah adopted daughter."

Pinkie Pie gasped, "Oh! That's remind me, the party for your whole herd is at 7pm right?"

Flare Tiger smiled while answering again, "Eeyup! And for the little party with ya will be helping me be busy and see how ponies reaction are to mah family first,"

Pinkie Pie smiled as she said, "Okay dokie lokie!"

Pinkamena smiled while saying, "See you there."

As they left her at station, the ponies move onward. Rarity spoke up, "I got to admit; it’s great for you to be out in the open, Miss Pinkamena. I am thinking of giving you some clothes, as a way of saying thanks for your help."

"Thanks, I would like a new set of clothes! Matches well with my pink color."

As the gang travel along with Pinkamena, she then surprises a lot of ponies as she stood on her back hooves and walk. Lyra sees and gasps as Bon Bon saw this. Then Twilight says, "How is that possible?" 

"Well that's another story when I ended up in My Little Pony Tales." Pinkamena said. She tells her story as they move.

--------------------------------

In the story, Pinkamena winds up in another world, looking around to see a village of ponies. She whines, "Awww. Not the timeline I was looking for."

"Hi there," A pony exclaims as she comes up to Pinkamena...standing on her back hooves! "Isn't it silly to stand on all fours like that?"

"This is how I usually do it; Right?"

"Not unless you like having your hooves dirty. If you like, I will show you how to stand on your back hooves."

Pinkamena pauses then smiles as she agrees to let the pony help her. The new friend instructs her a bit. It took a while but Pinkamena finally stood on her back hooves.

"Thanks! You know, I may stay in your village for a while." Pinkamena said thoughtfully. "I like to have fun!"

"Cool, I can show you around! By the name, my name is Bon-Bon!" The pony known as Bon-Bon (in this gen) said happily.

"My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie."

-----------------

"And so, Bon-Bon and her pals helped me have fun and taught me the simple ways as if they are humans," Pinkamena explains to her friends in the present. "And after a while, I time hop again. Pretty neat, huh?"

"Yeah, sure is." Applejack remarks with a chuckle. "Ah done wonder if we could do 'dat. Hmmm, after 'de odd looks, who would wanna?"

"Say, can you do me an' mah friends a favor?" Apple Bloom asks, seeing Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon at their table. Pinkamena nods as the filly points to them. "Go over there; tap Diamond Tiara on 'de shoulder an' say 'boo'."

Pinkamena smirks devilishly then goes over and taps Diamond Tiara on the shoulder. As the two bullies turn to look, the weirdo booms, "BOO!"

"AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHH," Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon scream in terror as they run away from the sight of Pinkamena. As they rush off, she and the CMC laughs their flanks off.

"I love that!" Sweetie giggles happily at what just happened.

-------------------

Celestia, Golden Heart and the Mystic Tao look through a book. The Alicorn said, "As you can see so far, Golden Heart begins to have a theory about what the keys are."

"Is that so?" Tao ask Golden Heart in amusement, "Any ideas?"

"Well, so far, I've noticed that three items that held by the Mane Six flashes with rainbow color." Golden Heart explains, showing pictures of three certain items given to the Mane Six so far. "There's a spool given to Rarity, a Wonderbolt badge given to Rainbow and a rubber chicken given to Pinkie Pie."

"Hmm, interesting; what is your theory?" Tao asked Golden Heart curiously.

"I am thinking that whatever is in the box that the girls got from the Tree of Harmony may have something to do with...rainbow power!" Golden Heart exclaims with a smile on his face. If three items flashes with rainbow, then that must be the power, right?

"Rainbow power; Hmm," Celestia said, intrigued about this theory.

"It is possible. It cannot be a coincidence." Tao said with a thoughtful look. "Who has yet to get a rainbow item?"

"That would be Applejack, Fluttershy and Princess Twilight Sparkle herself." Golden Heart said as he checks out a board with the Mane Six's pictures on it. Rarity, Rainbow and Pinkie Pie's picture got X's on them, meaning that they got their item. "If what we suspect is right, that leaves three keys with the rainbow flashing left to be found."

"I'm worried that Dark Curse and his minions may figure this out and would try to get the rainbow power for themselves." Tao said seriously. He knows how close his former friend and his Dark Mystic Powers are to victory. "We can't let them or all of Equestria will fall."

"And another thing we need to worry about is the dark curse-like prophecy that was made after the Elements of Harmony were given back to the Tree." Golden Heart said seriously, recalling how a certain evil vampire villainess claims that the Mane Six will meet their demise before they could open the box.

"Yes, the curse given by Fanged Dahlia." Celestia agreed seriously, also recalling the fiend from that very day.

"Then we can only hope that the last three keys are found before that was to happen...and that Dark Curse and his Dark Mystic Ponies don't make any plans for the future." Tao said seriously, praying that the rest of the keys are found before then.

-------------------

Pinkie, not surprisingly, already got a party set up for her new friend Pinkamena. Surprisingly, some of the ponies got used to her despite her pranking and her creepy smile, as well as her ability to give out the Brrs.

"Pound, Pumpkin, meet your good friend Pinkie's other self!" Pinkie said as she pushes Pinkamena to the Cake Twins, "It’s okay, Pinkamena. Say hi!"

Pound and Pumpkin looks at the newcomer then happily hug her, giggling. Mrs. Cake smiles while saying, "Well, I'll be. Looks like the little ones took to your...'alternate self', is it?"

"Yep! I figure if given the chance Pinkamena would be well like!" Pinkie exclaims happily to her friends.

Ben Mare was drinking some of the punch when he spots Chase coming over. The stallion calls, "Hey, Chase! Hey, Chase! Glad to see you. Miss you at Rainbow's birth-iversary."

"Sorry, wild parties aren't my thing." Chase, AKA, unknown to the heroes, Shadow Dragon, remarks to Ben sternly. "I've heard about it. Your friend Pinkie let her pride get in the way of what's important."

"Yes, but she learned her lesson as did Twilight and her friends." Ben remarks with a smile. He held up a cupcake, "Cupcake?"

"Yes, I know." Chase said, blinking his eyes at this.

"Well." Ben remarks with a shrug, eating his cupcake that he offered to Chase. After swallowing, the stallion continues, "You know, we have been up at Canterlot earlier. Golden Heart told us a story of his journey. One of the parts involves a battle with the one in my dreams, Shadow Dragon. The guy almost killed him. Is there a problem, Chase?"

The reason Ben said that part is because Chase's eye is twitching a bit. He calms down, saying, "Yeah, I'm fine...I'm fine..go on."

"Right; anyway, the Shadow Dragon would've finished off Golden Heart if it weren't for Deadblast. Some ponies may claim Shadow Dragon to be a coward and a killer." Ben pauses, failing to see Chase getting upset. That is until the hero said, "But not me."

"Not you?" Chase asks a bit surprised by this statement.

"Right, Golden Heart said that Shadow Dragon used to be an ally to the Mystic Ponies. I think something happened to him that changed his life forever." Ben said thoughtfully, leaving Chase to be silent for a bit. "You know, I wonder if it was someone he loves that died?"

"It was. A mare that he loves was killed." Chase said, much to Ben's notice. "He met her one day, it was love at pure sight...but then after her death because of an enemy, it changed him...forever."

"What changed him? How did you know this?" Ben asks in concern. Does Chase know something about Shadow Dragon that he doesn't know about?

"I said too much." Chase said as he trots away. "Some things are best left for another day."

Now Ben is really worried. He got to know what happened to Shadow Dragon. Just then the Mane Six, their friends and family noticed Flare Tiger walking along with her family, her mate and her adopt daughter. Rainbow Dash looks shocked at the stallion's figure as Twilight step up along with her family and friends.

Twilight smiled as she speaks to Flare Tiger and her family, "Hello! Welcome to Ponyville! I am Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Ben spoke, "I'm Ben Mare."

Nyx chirped, "I am Nyx!"

Twilight turned to her friends and introduces them, "And this is Applejack and her little sister, Apple Bloom."

Applejack smiled while speaking, "Howdy!"

"Rarity and her little sister, Sweetie Belle..." Twilight said as she introduces them next.

Rarity nodded while speaking politely, "Nice to meet you, darling!"

"Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash..." Twilight said as she introduces them now. Fluttershy meekly stood behind Rainbow Dash, still shocked. "Scootaloo..."

Scootaloo smiled while waving, saying, "Hi!"

"Golden Heart and his sister, Pinkamena..." Twilight said. "Well, Golden Heart isn't here yet, but he will be, so this is Pinkamena for now."

The family nodded as Twilight about to say the next one but Pinkie Pie leapt out with a smile.

Pinkie Pie cheerily introduces himself, "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! I love to throw parties! Do you...."

At the same time, Twilight manages to zip Pinkie Pie's mouth as she still chat with her mouth close. Flare Tiger laughed as her mate looked confused and her adopted daughter hid behind her legs.

Flare Tiger smiled as she begins her own introductions, "This is mah mate, Comet Star..."

Comet Star smiled, bowing while saying, "It's an honor to meet you."

Flare Tiger looked at her adopt daughter as she whisper to her, then her daughter nodded as she step out of her hiding spot. They gasped at her figure as she felt very nervous as the filly look at their faces.

Flare Tiger smiled as she spoke, "And this is mah adopt daughter, Iris Heart Shield."

Applejack asked, "Um, why does she...."

Flare Tiger finished, "Look like Sombra, yeah, for ya information, she's different because she was outcast by her own kind. And she's not welcome into the Crystal Empire, either. She's a very rare one, which is an Albino Iron Pony."

Scootaloo asked, "Albino Iron Pony? What is that?"

Comet Star chuckled, "Albino stands for white type, which rare gene to being born, and for Iron Pony, they're like Unicorn Ponies but very stronger than them as Sombra is one of them."

Twilight gasped, "You mean there is more different type of pony out there?"

Flare Tiger smiled as she answers, "Eeyup! Only four common were Earth Pony, Unicorn Pony, Pegasus Pony and Alicorn. And there are more types, which are called uncommon."

Twilight said, "Oh; that meant Comet Star is also common?"

Rainbow Dash shakes her head as she want to hear this out as Flare Tiger sighed.

Flare Tiger sadly explains, "Nnnope, he's not a pure Gryphon, or griffin, he's an Opinicus, which means he's a Maned Gryphon as he's uncommon."

Comet Star sighed, "That also meaning I am an outcast to all griffins."

Rainbow Dash shocked ask, "Hey, wait a minute! If there different kinds of uncommon, they're treated like outcasts?"

Flare Tiger nodded, answering, "Eeyup, they're treated like outcasts or death for them."

They gasped as Ben stepped up, worried.

Ben asked, "Is there way for them to survive?"

Rainbow Dash remembered something, asking, "Hey, if this ‘mystery island’ you mentioned which meaning..."

Flare Tiger smiled, "Eeyup, now ya caught up with the puzzles, this mystery island is called Digitrisland. Here's the map, its help ya wonder why it's called it."

Flare Tiger gives a map to the group. Pinkie Pie gasped, "Triforce!"

They stared at her as Pinkie Pie confused asks, "What?"

Comet Star chuckle, "Pinkie's right, my dear, will you do the honor?"

Flare Tiger nodded as she cast project magic right onto the figure of the Digitrisland then it slowly form into a Triforce as they gasped at it.

Ben asked, "So, that's a Triforce like my cutie mark?!?"

They nodded at it at the same time, Pinkamena and two other figures known as Shadow Cat and Flower Dog walked over, making Flare Tiger surprised to see the last two as if familiar with them.

Flare Tiger shocked said, "Shadow, Flower, what are ya doing here?"

Shadow Cat chuckled nervously, "Same reason as you are."

Flower Dog sighed, "Honesty, we didn't want you do this without us, it's what blood-sisters for."

Flare Tiger smiled while speaking, "Ah can't blame ya for a good reason, but ah forever missed ya."

Flare Tiger, Flower Dog, and Shadow Cat hugged each other as Nyx heard what Flower Dog said.

Nyx asked, "What’s blood-sisters?"

Comet Star explained, "Blood-sister is the oath from the Indian. It's proved that they care for each other."

Nyx said, "Oh...."

"Want to see a neat trick?" Pinkamena ask the CMC with a mischievous smile.

"Yeah," The CMC exclaim with a smile.

Pinkamena put a knife in her mouth and swallows it, much to the shock of the mare. Suddenly she spits the knife out, sending it right onto a bullseye.

"Wow!" The foal cheers on in amazement.

"Ponies; don't do this at home. I'm a professional." Pinkamena said with a smirk to her friends.

"Try it at her home!" Pinkie exclaims happily, making her friends laugh a bit.

"Dance music!" Flare Tiger exclaims as he has Comet Star turn the dancing music on, "Time to dance."

"Wanna dance, Twiley?" Ben asks Twilight slyly.

"Sure, Ben," Twilight replied.

The couple took on dancing. Pinkamena laughs and smiles a bit. This has been fun. The mare is already making a few friends already. Maybe it's great to be out in the open...for once.

As the gang was busy greeting Flare Tiger’s family, Pinkamena had Rainbow Dash behind a corner as Rainbow was a little scared but Pinkamena says, “You recall the part where you were in the basement and what I did to you..........look, I blundered by mistake because something in me wanted to do you in but I had enough will to set you free. I thank you for locking me in there. I was able to regain control and only played a game.......Dashie, if I start acting not myself and, you know what I mean, I want you to keep ponies away from me.........I might not be able to control myself.” 

Rainbow Dash was puzzled but nods all nervous like. Pinkamena sighs, “Thank you Dashie; now let’s get back to the gang before they know we are missing.” 

She heads back to the gang as Rainbow Dash followed really confused at what happen.

--------------------

"So Pinkamena has finally exposed herself." Dark Curse said to Shadow Dragon through a portal. The disguised villain told his master as to what happened, "Interesting."

"What shall we do, master?" Shadow Dragon asks Dark Curse curiously.

"I think it's time for me to send in an old friend: not to kill her but to deliver a message." Dark Curse said with an evil grin. "I will be sending in Psychopath soon. Don't do a thing to help. Just let him do his business."

"Yes, sir," Shadow Dragon said, bowing before the portal disappear.

"We are one step closer to finding out what is in that box. I can't let the whole thing be delayed by freaks like Pinkamena." Dark Curse said darkly as he sits in his throne, pondering his next move.

------------------

Pinkamena, alone in her dungeon, was playing her harmonica gently and happily as she's waiting her older brother's visit to her. Suddenly evil and maniac laughing is heard. Pinkamena gasped in fear as she looked around in her surroundings to find the source of laughing as well as the dark and familiar voice.......

"Pinkamena........." The voice taunts. Pinkamena gasped as she looked around again and again with her eyes widened in fear and worry. "Pinkie........" Pinkamena panted. "My little Pinkie......."

"WHERE ARE YOU?!" Pinkamena demands angrily and worried.

"In front of you," The voice commented.

Pinkamena gasped as she made a quick turn to her front. She gasped in frightened as she saw red lipstick of a white make-up Earth Pony with a greenish spiky mane and short tail, who wore a white shirt and purple pants, and had a purple suit, smiling at Pinkamena.

Pinkamena gasped before screaming, "Not you!"

"Pinkie; what's the matter? Don't you remember me? Your coltfriend," The newcomer taunts Pinkamena madly.

Pinkamena groaned, "You and I are not on a date, Psychopath Joke!"

"Oh. You hurt my feelings. And here I thought we are the best couple than Golden Heart and Spiritcurse." Psychopath remarks in amusement. He then made a pretend ponder. "Speaking of which, I heard that those two are dating. Where was it again? Oh yes.......Somewhere on the west woods before Everfree Forest. I wonder how they're doing," He begins smiling evilly, "Killed by his love on."

Psychopath Joke laughed evilly and maniacally. Pinkamena groaned in anger as she budged the cage out.

"I'll make you eat your words, Psychopath freak!" Pinkamena snaps angrily, preparing to kick some butt. Hopefully this battle won't alert her friends up above.

"Hoo hoo-hooo; I'd like to see you try that, Killer Cupcake-poo. I was hoping you do that for me." Psychopath remarked, laughing at the angry Pinkamena.

Pinkamena groaned, "SHUT UP! And DIE!"

Pinkamena took her sword and charged at Psychopath. She swung her sword as hard and fast as she can at Psychopath Joke, but all he did is dodging and avoding being hit by her while laughing maniacally and evilly like an insane clown. Pinkamena groaned in anger as she continues to swung her sword against Psychopath Joke. But all he did is smile and hummed gently and evilly while dodging the attacks gracefully like a swan.

Pinkamena panted in tiredness and exhaustion as she gave the last strike at Psychopath's head. The villain jumped over Pinkamena. He then kicked her flank, causing her to fall to the front. Psychopath smiled and then laughed evilly.

"Oh, Pinkie; My darling little Pinkie; you had come soft ever since your big brother adopted you. You know...... I was hoping that you and I can stay like that before." Psychopath remarks in amusement, much to her anger. "Killing ponies, eating their fleshes and best of all: Having fun." He did an evil laugh.

Pinkamena groaned, "Shut up!"

Pinkamena got up and attacked Psychopath Joke at once with her sword on the center. During the slow motion, Psychopath Joke dodged to his left, allowing Pinkamena to pass by. The mad pony grabbed her tail and start swinging her on top of him, round and round and round. He then slammed Pinkamena on the ground hard. She panted in exhaustion.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You disappoint me greater, Pinkamena. Well no matter. At least, my little work is almost done." Psychopath said as if finishing up a job for some reason.

Pinkamena panted, "What do you mean?"

"Tell your brother and the rest of your friends who know your existence that 'Ben's gonna be with us when the truth comes out very soon'." Psychopath said to Pinkamena, making her yelp in worry. "And trust me, Pinkie. It's gonna be a blast."

Pinkamena groaned, "He will not."

"Like how our Shadow Dragon is?" Psychopath asks, reminding the mare as to how Shadow Dragon came out. Pinkamena went silent. "I didn't think so. We might not work well together now but......." Psychopath kicked Pinkamena to her cage. He quickly closed it up. "I'll be in touch, Pinkie!"

Psychopath Joke laughed evilly as he disappeared in black smoke. Pinkamena gulped as her eyes widened in fear and worry before she got out of the cage.

Pinkamena looks upward, praying, "Princess Celestia........ Please. You had to tell Ben......... Don't make the same mistake as Tao. Please don't let him become like Shadow Dragon......."

At the time, Jade Adventure was doing a new activity in inviting her Cutie Mark Crusader pals over to….a penthouse floor of a building in Ponyville. They entered a room that was decorated with neat fun stuff for fillies and colts of all ages to play in, and once more, they had the whole room to themselves and no pony would interrupt them…except when they call in room service. The room was design to have some parts for those that like to skate & do dare-devil stunts for the little ones, exciting games & dance floor, and there was even a magic turbulence Gems where one can feel like they are free-falling, totally off the level.

“Jade, Ah gotta ask yah; how’d ya pull 'dis off?” Apple Bloom asked off in seeing the sweet deal that one filly member of the CMC got all to themselves to have.

“Simple, I told the building’s owner I’m a Mystic Pony & needed to rent out the penthouse floor for us to have the time of our lives.” Jade smiled off proudly in issuing what she did for them to have a sweet new digs place and all for them to have fun.

“But fillies can’t rent out a place like this. It cost too much.” Sweetie Belle stated in concern about how having this place all to themselves, they aren’t rich like Diamond Tiara’s father.

“Dugh, I’m not that young, I only look young. Plus, I did it when in my Battle form.” Jade rolled her eyes in stating that she only made herself appear older to not be treated differently to the ponies of the body staff.

“And just ‘how’ is it you managed to pay for the stuff?” Scootaloo raised her eyebrows in having a suspicious feeling; their Mystic young friend was hiding more facts; like how did she afford all of this to begin with.

“Ehh, I used some magic to poof me some pony coins, better than a giant golden egg. Mighty Heart’s action & the strict rules of greed corrupts, etc. etc., so I knew what I was doing.” Jade Adventure shrug off her shoulders in explaining what she had to do in paying the bills without confusing those here with too much greed.

Soon the group begins to walk around in exploring more things that were totally crazy to be seen. And there was some display cases of different items, relics & stuff that seem to be very intriguing. Course one case did seem to catch Nyx & the other CMC’s attention more than the other cases, the last one on the left. Within the case, was that of a strange metallic unicorn horn, but this wasn’t just any old horn, far from it….

“Huuuagh; Jade, where did you get this,” Nyx gasped out in looking at the display case the strange, and somewhat yet disturbing metal horn.

“What, tch, that thing? It’s just something the building’s owner picked up.” Jade replied off in seeing what was making her friend feel worry, but waved it off, “Said it was a souvenir from the time that was the end of Lorcan’s Wrath in taking over while plotting to wipe out pony kind.” The girl shrug off in briefly bringing up how the item in question must have been taken by a pony that stubble upon it after the defeat of Lorcan the Scared Ruler.

“Well dat just ain’t any souvenir; dat’s apart o' dat weird thing dat nearly took out Spike!” Apple Bloom spoke off in concerns in remembering that metal horn that was a part of something that almost took the life of their baby Dragon pal.

“Right, Psycho Steel The Destructible. He was bad news.” Sweetie Belle nods in agreement while recalling the name of the vicious metal monstrosity seen during Lorcan’s Wrath event.

“Right, he went off to perform a Magical Kamikaze!” Scootaloo nods with a serious face in knowing what this baddy did that no pony could ever forget even if they tried to.

“Woah, I heard of that spell!” Jade yelped in hearing this from her friends and knowing the seriousness of that certain spell. “Granduncle Tao & Uncle Dragon Kick said it’s a very powerful spell that makes one a bomb. And it’s so strong that when it explodes could take out an entire sky area or land area, and it’s even hard for Dragons to protect themselves against that power unleashed.” The young Mystic Pony knew her research on such a spell & how powerful it was. “Course, it’s a one-time thing unless one is capable of regenerating their atoms, but it’s something listed as a move that’s scary in the Forbidden Book of Spells.” She lastly stated how not many use that spell because it’s a use of their life to self-destruct themselves to take out an enemy, hence why it’s listed in the Forbidden Book of Spells to begin with.

“What I don’t get is, if that creature was destroyed, why is a copy of Rainbow Dash’s ‘Metal Iron the Invincible’ doing here?” Nyx asked off in being puzzled in why any pony would even have something that was dangerous and more likely is something of a copied right of Rainbow Dash.

“Must’ve wanted to display it, you know, kinda like how ponies show off fancy duds of outfits & rare items for display usage only.” Jade shrug off to wave her hoof in the air in basically expelling a fact in what could have been the issue for this.

“Is it safe?” Nyx asked with a concern face if the horn that was from a creature of Lorcan’s darkness was even safe to touch or be near.

“Why wouldn’t it be? Look, it’s just a broken off piece of its horn. What can go wrong?” Jade exclaimed in not feeling the least bit worried here, it’s not like something bad will happen from a busted metal horn piece.

The CMC were cautious of course, they may see what is probably just some old junk become an interesting display item; but they aren’t sure if that which Lorcan made from his darkness & tried to do in Spike was anything but harmless. The group may have to keep their eyes peel here.

----------------

Meanwhile, deep within the boundaries of the worst place that’s a nightmare realm for any souls to be trapped in; Tartarus. And within the realm that brings horrors of horrors of torturing souls condemn to this place, we look pass all that to find a familiar castle belonging to the Overlord King himself: Grimmore. And within when we zooms the camera, see the throne room and see the Dark Elf in a mediated state of being still on his throne. His magical aura slowly growing more and more stronger with each passing day. And then suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened up in sensing…something of interest. And from indistinctly casting a spell, a fiery portal window appeared that showed what’s going on. Jade Adventure, the young Mystic Pony was with Nyx’s group in a building, but what truly caught some intriguing finds was….the metal horn display.

“Well, well, now isn’t this a little surprise to see.” Grimmore made a sly smile in witnessing something that has shown up after such a long time. “A relic of something all believed was destroyed during Lorcan’s quest for dominance.” He sees it, the metal horn of Psycho Steel the Destructible, how amusing.

“Aah yes, I remember that one.” Ji-Ga-No spoke from soaring within the room to lean in to notice what his lord was watching, a piece of something that was a blast from the past. “That creature was made by taking all of the darkness from Lorcan to shape its very existence.” He remembered when Grimmore provided Lorcan with a means to destroy his enemies, too bad the scarred dragon failed & the creature he brought forth ended up being a waste, “A shame that Lorcan’s life struggle of obtaining dark power wasn’t enough to finish the job.” He stated in seeing that such a creation was not capable of finishing off the ponies and even a Magical Kamikaze Spell that should have finished off one of the heroes, the baby Dragon called Spike return to life in the end.

“Ah, on the contrary, Ji-Ga-No, it may still serve something.” Grimmore spoke in smiling in thinking up a deviously little plot in hand. “For it was ‘I’ that created that which Lorcan used to shape such a creature and it will be ‘I’….that uses its purpose…anew.” He spoke with true words, just because Lorcan’s use of such a spell failed, doesn’t mean the Dark Elf can’t use a remains to shape it into something…more interesting.

“And tell me, what will you do? That metal horn can’t possibly by much use as scrap metal?” Ji-Ga-No asked in feeling that something his master was saying was beyond understanding, what was the plot of his wickedly brilliant mind up to.

“But it can, we’ll have a little…entertainment, in what challenge the heroes can play.” Grimmore exclaimed in having an idea in what can be used from that small relic to bring some intriguing results from the heroes. “When a new kind of element so dangerous that no mere countermeasures can stop it, let us watch how any of them try to handle it.” The Dark Elf explained a secret agenda of using an element force so devastatingly dangerous, that it’s unlike anything the ponies or their heroes have ever seen.

“Ha-Haaaah and what perfect timing, one of the Mystics is with the child reincarnate of the old Nightmare Moon!” Ji-Ga-No laughed off cruelly in seeing that the young Mystic Pony Jade is with Nyx, reincarnate of Nightmare Moon of Tso Lan before turned pure good, the opportunity was perfect to strike. “Perhaps we can use the situation to make an more interesting effort.” The Metallix Dragon responded in seeing they can use both the metal horn of Psycho Steel The Destructible & two fillies of bigger heroes as…’live’ bait for attention.

“My thoughts…” Grimmore smiled off with a very wicked grin before his evil aura glowed fiercely. “Exactly….” Grimmore declared out this last part while his eyes stared at the metal horn object at the firry portal window ; as unknown to any, a spell transmission was being sent that not even the highest level of sensory types or Mystic types could sense.

--------------

Meanwhile, back at the penthouse party the CMC were attending to have fun in. All was well with the fillies trying to forget about some back thought worries to have a little fun & daring excitement.

“Gurhahahah-Hahahaha-Haaaahhh…” Some secret hidden laughter is heard, but not heard within the room the fillies are in; while a strange dark glow escaped from…the metal horn from the display case.

But the action was not noticed by those that were right now on the magical turbulence gem that was giving them air above the ground.

“This is AWESOME! It feels like I’m flying!” Scootaloo shouted out in pure excited joy in what she’s feeling right now, she can’t fly yet, but this feels close enough for her.

“I didn’t know this is what it feels like to not touch the ground!” Sweetie Belle smiled in feeling a new sensation of hovering off the ground to not touch it.

“Ah know, is 'dis how yew feel when flying Nyx?” Apple Bloom nods in asking if even her friend who can fly in both filly form and her Adult Form feel this way all the time to fly.

“Well, it’s something!” Nyx shrug off to say that such a thing is naturally the same to her.

“See, I told you guys this would be neat!” Jade Adventure smiled in seeing they are having some real fun here without any worries. “And almost last I check, you were worried about something bad to happen.” Jade proudly remark in recalling how silly the fillies acted in thinking there was gonna be trouble, as if with her around….well okay, she ‘mostly’ can be the center of trouble at times.

“Um, Jade, quick question.” Scootaloo responded off with her eyes looking at something and her eyes seem to show a little…confused concern just now.

“Yeah,” Jade replied back in awaiting what her friend here was gonna ask her now.

“That metal horn from the display case, are there lights inside to make it shine?” Scootaloo pointed out that the case display of that metal horn object were some display lights turn on for it.

“Hugh; beats me. I don’t pay that much attention unless the object is really cool.” Jade stated off a bit puzzled that unless the object was something really cool to get her attention, then she might wanna check it out. “Course, Uncle Dragon Kick scolds me it I touch or use some dangerous weapons that I shouldn’t be touching for my own good.” The girl rolled her eyes in knowing her uncle is a little overprotective of her.

“Um, Jade, I hate to interrupt, but maybe you should take notice of something?” Sweetie Belle asked off this from starting to get that unsettling feeling all over her from noticing what Scoot’s noticed.

“Yeah, like if yew doesn’t know if de case has inner light functions, why’s it glowing?” Apple Bloom stated from also seeing something of that broken object now take a weird shine if the display case’s light function is not on.

“What the hay-hoo?” Jade yelped off in hearing this other part to finally get her attention now.

The rest of the CMC group turn to see this while still hovering in the air from the wind releasing gem from below them; And it’s true, the metal horn was glowing a bit bright from its usual dullness, only more…dark black/violet light.

“Um, I’m not sure I like that color.” Nyx spoke in feeling like something bad may happen, and that while there is no sense of danger to be sense, what is happening can give plenty of reason, “Glowing a dark color usually means something bad, & it might be even more dangerous if we can’t sense it.” She stated this pre-cautious advice in thinking this unusual omen might be the calm before the storm.

Hearing this even made Jade Adventure suddenly freeze up in remembering something her Granduncle Tao told her. That a warrior must be on guard for any suspicious activity that the greatest danger…is something that it’s presence cannot be sense by normal sensory feelings.

“OMG,” Jade gasped out in just realizing what the situation might become now. “You guys, we have to….” She turns to her friends in seeing that something dangerous is about to happen, and they need to leave, but….

“Thruusssfruvhmmmm….” Suddenly, a bright darkens flash erupted from the metal horn that the fillies only had seconds to witness this…

Outside the building, all seem calm and al the pony citizens were just doing their usual thing without any trouble going on…or so it seemed. “Boommfruvhmmm….” And then just like that, an explosion happened that caught everyone’s attention from the penthouse floor.

“FIIIIIIIRRRRRRRREEEEEEE,” A nearby pony shouts out in seeing what was happening to the building.

And that’s when the crowds start to go into a panic to be screaming & running and some of the building residents to fly out of the windows .

“Call the Pony Fire Brigade!” Another nearby pony shouted out in seeing they need some help to stop this fire.

Unnoticed by the crowd & the fleeing residence of the burning building, the CMC of Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Jade Adventure were seen in some protective force field that must have been the young Mystic Pony’s defense reactions. But there was a missing member of the group and that was the black Alicorn filly Nyx, where was she if not with the group? Uh oh! This may spell trouble with a big size capital ’T’ involved.

--------------

At this very moment, Pinkamena was reading a book in her quiet little place. A lot of things have been going on with her, one of them is handling the moment that now a lot of ponies know she’s among them. Sure, there’s the whole issue about what she did, and gave them the ‘Brrrs’ look, but that was back then. And while Golden Heart may have explained everything about his meeting with the pink lookalike of Pinkie Pie, some settlement of having her around was….a little more tougher for other ponies to get used to.

“Huuuagh, another day gone by, and another day to read to pass my time, life is….” Pinkamena was speaking off in feeling like today be boring old average until…. “Huuuagh,” She gasped from her eyes twitched and dropped her book, she felt something…horrible, “Oh no! There’s great danger happening and Nyx is caught in it!” The pony explained out in sensing something was wrong, danger is near and Twilight & Ben’s daughter is caught in it.

She got up to check the room she’s in, checked all around, even the hidden chamber of Light Elves, but she was unable to find where Goldie & the gang are.

“Drat! I forgot, Goldie’s away and Omega and our new Light Elf friend are busy with some request from the princesses.” Pinkamena cursed the hour that she’s all alone while her friends are elsewhere now, “Looks like this matter is up to me to handle.” She declared out in seeing that she’ll have to take matters into her own hands, or hooves. Cause it seems serious.

Soon Pinkamena reaches for a weapon nearby that was a long gray-white sword with its handle in the form between two ‘C’ letters of left & right & an upper case ’T’ form, with an rod above the handle with a long two edge pointed centers from the bottom to the near top like two diamond forge shape. This was her weapon besides the usual daggers, the Sword of Pinkie Pie. A strangle advance weapon from a style known as a Bronze Age Sword, as the sword reach a length in excess of 100 cm. The technology to produce this blade of such length appears to have been developed using alloys of perhaps a strange arsenic material around it's unknown structure of perhaps a pure elemental crystal. And soon the pony stash it where it would dangle around her, now arm for defense.

“I sense it, something about Nyx’s danger seems more than an average danger; it feels like there’s a stronger enemy at foot!” Pinkamena issued forth in knowing that the danger maybe more than the heroes believe, she has to be ready to step in. “I’m gonna need my best gear to get by whatever is happening. Hugh! Where’s my armor?” As the girl was getting ready, she was not able to find her armor anywhere then it came to her to slap her forehead in regret. “Oh that’s right, I asked Omega to clean it. Ugh, talk about bad timing! Oh well, my sword will just have to do!” She declared out in seeing she’ll have to face the danger without her armor, hopefully she can handle it.

Quicker than any pony could even say a word, Pinkamena did like Pinkie Pie does to leave her spot. She has to reach where the danger is and hopefully rescue Nyx before what she sense might be a threat that ’time’ is crucial at this point.

Chapter 3: The Burning Inferno of Psycho Steel


Flare Tiger sensed something very wrong, at the same time Pinkie Pie gasped and ran to find her friends. Flare Tiger looked at her adopted daughter as her head down level with her filly.

Flare Tiger sighed, "Iris Heart... Ya need go to Nyx, now."

Iris Heart Shield asked, "Why?"

Flare Tiger sadly explains, "Ah had fear for her safely, do ya remember how ya save that filly from Crystal Empire?"

Iris Heart Shield nodded while answering, "I remember it."

Flare Tiger smiled as she spoke, "Then that's your chance to tried out your new shield; Harmony Shield."

Iris Heart Shield nodded as ran off as Flare Tiger smiled at sight of the smoke from flame building. Flare Tiger looked around and got her sight on somepony that she knew. It was Chase as Flare Tiger knew that it's bad idea to appeared to him as she could see through his ap.... (Hidden) She sighed as the mare walked away from him as he didn't notice her do that.

----------------------------

Meanwhile, the scene returns to where we see many ponies entering the area, but kept at bay; mostly because the Pony Fire Brigade was working in putting out the flames. But they seem to be struggling very much with the flames, as they had both serious and cautious faces in trying to not get too close. And soon entering the scene was the Mane Six, Ben Mare, Spike & Phobos in checking out the scene that just happened.

“Captain, what happened here?” Ben asked the captain of the fire brigade of what’s happened here.

“The citizens don’t know? One minute, all was fine, the next, an explosion happened in the penthouse and it’s spreading.” The captain of the Pony Fire Brigade stated in concerns of what happened without any of them knowing it.

“Are there any ponies still trapped inside?” Spike asked off in concern if there were some ponies still inside the building still on fire.

“We don’t know, most of the residence have already escaped, but we’re questioning them now.” The captain of the fire team reported that they are still asking if there are any that didn’t make it out.

“Cough-cough, cough-cough….” Suddenly, little coughs are heard that made the group turn to what was coming forward from the inferno building: the CMC & Jade that finally got up to walk forth. During the crazy commotion, the other ponies didn’t notice them, not when a wild fire is loose all too suddenly.

“Goodness! Sweetie Belle,” Rarity cried out to come over to check her sister.

“Apple Bloom, oh mah stars!” Applejack gasped to respond to quickly hug her sis in fright.

“Scoots; You okay?” Rainbow Dash yelped in seeing this to check her favorite loyal fan.

“Oh dear, are you okay Jade? Um, I know you’re a Mystic Pony, but…you look a bit unwell?” Fluttershy asked out with much worry in her voice in seeing even Jade from Tao’s group seem like there was some trouble.

“Cough, cough….I’m good. Cough-cough….after all, I cast a protection spell on us before that explosion hit us.” Jade coughs a bit to try to make a little smile in explaining what happened to them during the whole unexpected explosion in the building.

“Wow, talk about a close shave, you almost had us worried there.” Pinkie Pie exclaimed to say in how close that may have been for the fillies just now.

“Wait, were you four the only ones together when this happened?” Twilight asked off in seeing that there seem to be a possible missing member of those that went with Jade to have some fun.

That’s when reality hit the CMC members to look around to notice, there was supposed to be five, but only four are here. One was missing, that pony was Nyx herself.

“Oh mah stars! Nyx,” Apple Bloom gasped out in realizing what was happening here, the group was short a friend.

“She was with us before!” Sweetie Belle stated in last remembering where Nyx was before the group got separated.

“Right, up in the penthouse.” Scootaloo nods in recalling that the five were together at the top of the building before the explosion happened.

“On no; I was concern of protecting the others and knew Nyx could be alright, but she must not have made it out yet!” Jade yelped to gasp in shock, she figure Nyx could handle things alright while she saved the others, but apparently, the issue became a little worse for them to not see coming

“WHAAAAT!” The other ponies and Dragons yelped out in surprise; that means…Nyx is still trapped inside the building that’s on fire!

“My daughter is trapped inside a burning building!” Twilight shouted out in looking wide eye in not believing this, Nyx’s in real danger.

“Captain, how soon till the fire’s out,” Ben pleaded with worry to the stallion having his team put out the fire, his child is in there still.

“We’re not sure, this fire is tough. Even the nearby Pegasus providing rain clouds ain’t doing much.” The fire brigade’s captain responded in seeing they are doing their best, but it might not be good enough.

“Stand aside, I’ll race in there and get Nyx, lickity split!” Rainbow Dash stated to lean down in preparing to dash off here.

“Wait a second!” Twilight tried to protest Rainbow’s concern thoughts over this action.

“Powwfruvhmmm….” But that was useless, Rainbow shot off like a blur that went into the burning building and pass the fire fighter ponies that made them gasp.

“Well let’s not stand around gawkin’ either ponies; We gotta charge in too!” Applejack spoke off to her friends in seeing that they can’t delay either.

“Let’s do this!” Phobos pumps up his arms in seeing it’s time they go in and save the day & rescue Nyx while at it.

Soon the gang was about to race into some seriously extreme heated state when….

“AIIIIIEYAAAAAAAH; DO NOT ENTER!” Suddenly, a loud voice was heard shouting, telling the Mane Six group to not do such a rash action.

This caused the ones that were almost near the fire to cease action to look behind them to see….Mystic Tao & Dragon Kick with him.

“Tao,” The gang responded in seeing their old friend was here, but why? And why stop them at this crucial moment.

“Uncs,” Jade replied off in seeing her family has come out now.

“Jade, how did this happen?” Dragon Kick asked off in shock to see the fire on the building, and if Jade was near, she must know what happened.

“Um, long story.” Jade sheepishly responded in having a feeling, she might be in trouble even if this was totally out of random act she never saw coming.

“Get to that later; for now. You must not go anywhere near the building!” Tao sternly issued in wanting all ponies and dragons to not enter the building by any means.

“But Tao, our daughter is trapped in there, and Rainbow’s gone in alone. She needs backup!” Ben was just trying to explain things, only to get a whack on his forehead. “Ow!” Ben yelped from the sudden pain, what was that for?

“Do not be so FOOLISH as nephew is in Missing the Point!” Tao scolded Ben in being like Dragon Kick, never paying attention when he’s talking.

“But uncle, he’s only worried for Nyx’s safety. We need to get her or…” Dragon Kick was trying to calm his uncle, only to get whack on the forehead as well. “Ow!” He yelped from holding his noggin, his uncle always does this to scold him.

“Will every pony listen to me,” Tao sternly exclaimed in wanting all those here to hear him out. “You do not even know that a dark force has triggered something here.” He spoke off in mystery from knowing what happened here was from a dark force of evil.

“Hugh…A dark force,” Fluttershy gasped in fear in not liking this bit of news at all.

“My goodness, what is it?” Rarity yelped in not liking where this may go.

“Jade, did you or the CMC encounter anything unusual as of lately to cause this unexplainable fire?” Tao asked off his grandniece in wanting info on what the situation is here.

“Well, I think it may have been that metal horn piece from Psycho Steel the Destructible in that display case.” Jade shrug off with a nervous face in telling what was going on, and the mention of something brought everyone’s attention on high.

“Psycho Steel,” The others responded in having flash memories of when Lorcan was evil in unleashing a creature of his own darkness to attack them.

“Oh no, that was an enemy that was tough & nearly killed Spike!” Pinkie Pie gasped in looking concern and worry in remembering such a horrible day.

“Tell me about it.” Spike roll off his eyes in recalling such an event, not a happy moment.

“What does that have to do with now?” Twilight asked off in where Tao was getting at, Nyx is still in danger.

“The reason is, the object that was forge from Lorcan’s darkness took shape, but powerful spell was not his own, but something he gain from one known deity.” Tao spoke off with a stern face in letting the group know, that while Lorcan did bring forth Psycho Steel The Destructible, it was thankless to one other evil being in particular, “The evil Dark Elf himself, Grimmore. Even if such an object is in pieces, he can still use it.” He stated in knowing that anything Grimmore has created is connected from his magic.

“And you’re saying we had a dangerous object with us this whole time?” Phobos asked off in seeing that if some pony picked up something dangerous, the heroes never knew it until it was too late.

“Aieyah; after what happened with a dark elf warrior’s head, I thought I made things clear, but was not very inspective of such other issues.” Tao held his head to shout off in not believing the group forgot about the incident that involved with Pinkamena wanting a trophy, and instead, Grimmore used it to explode and have it cause harm to Ponyville.

“So wha does it have 'ta do wit' de fire & why we can’t get in?” Applejack asked off in almost losing patience since the ponies have a big emergency to do.

“Those fires are concealed with magic, take a closer look.” Tao responded off that what those that see one thing, do not actually see the true danger hidden within them.

Soon Tao brought forth his cards to cast a spell, which they shot off that touched the flames. But on contact, the cards seem to be destroyed, but in fact, something did happen…the color of the fire began to shift from bright orange, red and yellow to something else. It looked like a mixture of black, emerald & violet colors that if the average fire was orange & burner temperature was blue, what was seen here was…the ‘dark’ version.

“Huuuaaaghhh,” The gang gasped in seeing the flames appear as something entirely different: black flames.

“Oh, bad day, very, very bad day,” Dragon Kick responded in almost feeling himself was left in true terror.

“Oh my Celestia; Are those actually…” Jade gasped off in wanting to be told a lie, those aren’t the way that they know them to be, are they?

“The Dark Inferno; Known as the fires from hell,” Tao spoke with a narrow serious face in stating what these dark black flames are called, and they sound very serious.

“WOOOAH; Watch your language, we have fillies nearby!” Pinkie Pie protest to clamp the CMC’s heads together to not even hear that word.

“I think I’ve heard about them, but they were just legends. Flames of darkness so hot, nothing would put them out and even the toughest of creatures have fallen to them.” Ben spoke in remembering such tales of flames that were very powerful, but also very dangerous from myths & legends, even his Triforce of Wisdom gave him that much info.

“Tch, like it matters anyway.” Phobos remarked off in not caring about such details. “You talk, I’ll fly! I’ve busted into an invisible safe to come out fine, these things can’t harm Moon Dragon Scale Skin of Toughness!” He boasted in knowing that he himself saved Nyx from certain danger, he can do it again.

Then before any of them could stop Phobos, the little Moon Dragon launched himself fast into the burning building.

“No, no, no! You don’t understand!” Dragon Kick tried to say with worry, but…too late.

“YEEOOOOOOWCH,” Phobos’s voice is heard before he’s shot off of an open window with something smoking a trail behind him. “It burns! IT BUUUUUUUUUURRRRRNS,” Phobos cried out from having a sheet that was dangled on his tail that was burning with dark flames. “GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET IT OOOOOOOOFF!” he landed on the ground to whack the thing off his tail before it touched him, and all of Phobos's friends looked almost like deer in headlights.

“Twilight, remove sheet from foolish Moon Dragon,” Tao instructed the new princess to get the sheet of Phobos before it touches his skin.

Twilight used her magic to make the sheet come loose enough for Phobos to pull his tail out before the dark flames touch him. And when the mare was done, she seem to almost feel woozy, like her magic that tried to move the sheet with dark flames seem to cause…a bad illness to her connection by magic sense.

“Huuagh, much better,” Phobos signed in relief for a minute then got whacked on his noggin by Tao. “Ow! What was that for?” He yelped from the pain before snapping at this action to what he escaped from.

“For being too rash when you should have PAID-A-ATTENTION!” Tao scolded the little dragon for almost doing something foolish here. “These are said to burn as hot as the sun.”

“So they are like how princess Celestia controls the sun?” Fluttershy ask Tao in concern.

“Yes & no. Getting to that,” Tao stated off before preparing to go into a long explanation run. “Though the flames have been stated to be unavoidable, some can dodge the flames when they focus on the target & manage to hit the being shortly after regardless and some with faster speed reflexes to avoid a short-range launched at them in an instant. The flames are capable of burning through mostly anything in their path, even smothering regular fire techniques with ease. They’re said to never stop burning; even when whatever is caught by the Dark Inferno is completely reduced to ash or destroyed, it can still continue burning for seven days & seven nights. It cannot be extinguished with water or any other normal methods.” So far, the facts about these dark flames don’t sound too good on hearing, “The only thing that the flames have failed to burn into or through some sorta sand manipulation. However, the flames burn fairly slowly, sometimes allowing anyone struck by the Dark Inferno an opportunity to remove whatever clothing or body parts have been caught ablaze.” Tao stated as only those ways in what can happen to not be caught by such dangerous flames.

“Like with removing that sheet so Phobos wouldn’t get burn?” Spike stated off in recalling what the gang did to make sure Phobos would not be in such pain from dark flames that can’t be extinguished so easily.

“Yes.” Tao nods with a wise expression before going on. “Some that can deflect the flames from their body. Others that is also able to seal the flames with a Fire Sealing Method.” Hearing this made the others learn of what ways can they be safe from the Dark Inferno. “Grimmore is shown the ability to manipulate these flames to an extent, even able to quell the flames. He can ignite it with the focus of his eyes.”

“But I thought his body couldn’t get out of Tartarus.” Jade responded in thinking the Overlord King couldn’t do things with his eyes if his body was still sealed in Tartarus.

“Grimmore has different ways to transfer his incredible Demon God power to which it’s hardest to handle.” Tao shrug off his shoulders that Grimmore has many ways of performing acts to which even the Mystic Council can’t keep track of or stop.

“To think that even a Demon God like that could control such evil flames!” Rarity gasped off in shock to believe that the most powerful villain of all villains put together, had such wickedly evil powers, it’s no wonder he was dubbed 'extremely dangerous' to worry any pony with enough senses.

“So can we stop the Dark Inferno and save Nyx & Dashie.” Pinkie Pie asked off in wondering if they have something to help save their pals.

“Of course, we need to perform a sealing method to seal the flames in a scroll.” Tao nods in stating the only way to stop this madness is to seal the evil dark flames.

“Then you can fix this?” CMC responded in hoping that they have the solution to help save their love ones.

“Yes, we can. It’s just like when he sealed Tso Lan’s evil aura in a jar. Uncle, do you have the Fire Sealing Spell ready?” Dragon Kick replied off in mentioning such facts while asking his uncle if he’s ready to cast the spell.

“I cannot prepare the spell.” Tao shrug off his shoulders in saying that he can’t prepare that which the heroes need to stop the Dark Inferno.

“Whaah,” Dragon Kick and the others yelped in not believing this.

“Need ingredients.” Tao stated off that he needs ingredients to prepare the right sealing spell for this evil fire.

“Uncle; why don’t you have ingredients,” Dragon Kick asked off a bit annoyed that of all times, his uncle doesn’t have the ingredients to perform a spell of such emergency issue.

“How am I supposed to gather Fire Sealing Spell Ingredients when my apprentice is stolen to helping Dragon Lady decorate her home,” Tao shrug off his shoulders to issue that he has Mighty Heart help in the ingredients department, but he’s away with Mama Heart, so he can’t do stuff without assistance.

“Uaaaaugh,” Dragon Kick moans in hearing this, what a way to make the situation worse.

“Tao, you have to go and gather the ingredients!” Spike pleaded that their friend does something, and quickly too.

“Can’t, we need a spell to prevent the Dark inferno from spreading. And it will take ALL Mystic Magic to keep it from burning our spell to spread and burn all things in path.” Tao shook his head, if he leaves without keeping the Dark Inferno here from spreading, then all of Ponyville will be burned to a crisp until all the ponies are homeless.

“Well can’t there be a way to do that and get what you need?” Fluttershy asked off with a worried face, so far, their choices are very limited.

“Tao, give me and Twilight a list of what you need so we can get them.” Ben spoke with a serious face in what he’ll do to help here. “Between her teleportation & my Triforce Charge, we should provide some speed to get what you need.” Ben knew that the only faster ponies here are him and Twilight; their magic can boost their speed enough to travel without being too much tired.

“Very well, here’s list. One set for each to take.” Tao responded in understanding such feelings before making two different lists appear for the two ponies to take. “Now go, we need them before our spell grows too weak.” He issued that Ben & Twilight get moving, there’s only so little time they have left now.

“Understood, I won’t let my daughter or my loyal friend die in this.” Twilight nods with a determine expression on her face.

And soon Twilight & Ben each vanished by their own way to quickly go after some listed ingredients. And at the moment, Tao, Dragon Kick & Jade prepare something from the oldest of their family as Tao gave them special tarot cards that they chanted some chi spell before throwing them to the buildings nearby to keep the burning dark fire from spreading around. Course while such Mystic Magic can hold, the power of the Dark Inferno is too dangerous that unless the user calls off the attack, only by sealing the flames can they hope to stop the spreading of terror. The few remains of the Mane Six and those of the CMC watched the struggle and were very worried about those that are in much more trouble than expected.

“Girls, I’m worried if there’s enough time left fer Nyx in there.” Apple Bloom stated her own concern thought over the matter of how much time has pass since the fire broke.

“And we haven’t seen any action of Rainbow Dash, what if she’s endangered?” Sweetie Belle spoke with concerns & fears of what may have happened to those still inside.

“We never knew about those dark flames, & if no pony is supposed to go near them, then who else can to save them?” Scootaloo stated in beginning to feel like there’s nothing that can save those inside until the ingredients for the fire sealing spell is gathered; what can help them now?

“Leave the saving…to me.” Spoke another female voice that didn’t belong to either CMC or the Mane Six member.

Then before any pony knew it, they saw Pinkamena rushing pass the group while wearing something over her body, a weapon. And then the Pinkie Pie lookalike dove into the building with a bit more self-cautious work than Rainbow Dash did from bursting in.

“Was dat…Pinkamena?” Applejack asked off in recognizing who just pass by their spot so quickly & stealthy, they never say the pony coming.

“Hey, it was!” Pinkie Pie responded in knowing the pink pony that looks like her and came from her secret dungeon.

“Oh dear; this isn’t good.” Fluttershy gasped in seeing that this just complicates things even more.

“Quite, now there’s three ponies trapped inside.” Rarity held her hooves to her cheeks in seeing the problem go from double to triple.

"Make that four!" Isis Heart Shield exclaims as she jumps into the fray and passes her friends, much to their shock, "Out of the way."

"Correction: make that four!"

The dark fire continued to be everywhere, and while the fire brigade tried to fight it off, modern water works won’t cut it against such black flames that can’t be put out, even if a flash flood were to happen. And the Mystic Ponies of Tao, Dragon Kick & Jade Adventure were just trying to make sure none of the other buildings get caught by developing a magic protection wall, but the dark flames are sizzling to which they may only be able to hold out for a short time. Hopefully Twilight & Ben will find what’s needed to prepare the Fire Sealing Spell, or else…their goose will be cooked.

-----------

At this time, we see what is happening inside the building that’s still lit in flame by the Dark Inferno. Pinkamena was being cautious, using her sword to chop through the wooden boards to leap through the blazing flames. Her being somewhat different from normal ponies helped to prevent the smoke from the flames from damaging her lungs, especially to breath in the dangerous dark fire. But right now, her primary objective was to find Nyx & Rainbow Dash, get out of here before the whole building either comes apart or burns them to cinder.

"Wait up." Isis Heart Shield said as she arrives to her friend.

"Let me guess: come to help?" Pinkamena ask Isis Heart Shield curiously.

"Yes, don't talk me out of it."

“Got no plans to do so; where are they?” Pinkamena asked off to herself in not being able to find who she and Isis Heart Shield are looking for so far, “Rainbow Dash! Nyx! Come on!” She called out in hoping to get a response here, so she kept going.

"Give us a sign so we can find you!" Isis Heart exclaims, using her shield to block the flames.

Soon Pinkamena and Isis reached the near what was almost the wreckage site of the penthouse, and some holes were seen made by the dark fire that burn and broke off the structure. This place isn’t gonna last much longer if this pink pony and her friend don’t move it.

“Nyx; Rainbow; Where are you ponies?” Pinkamena shouted out in looking around to find any signs of some ponies in trouble.

“Cough-cough…” Then at the very moment, there were coughs heard beyond some flaming point of entry.

"I can hear coughing over there." Isis said, glancing to where the coughing is coming from.

“Found them!” Pinkamena stated in recognizing those voices, they are the ones belonging to those that need aid.

Taking a risky move, Pinkamena chop off a pillar that crashed through some flames to make a bridge over a hole area that lead across. After carefully crossing did Pinkamena and Isis find across the other side…an unconscious Nyx & Rainbow Dash.

"They're alive but coughing." Isis said in relief that her two friends are safe and sound.

“At last, now to find a way out; But I need space to do it." Pinkamena stated that with these two ponies lying and unconscious from all the smoke, she needs to find a spicy spot for their escape.

Soon the pillar bridge that leads across the hole in the room broke before falling into the bottom of the pit while making a ‘boom’ crash noise. 

"Our way back has been blocked off!" Isis exclaims to Pinkamena in worry.

“Okay, that way's out. So….” Pinkamena slowly responded in nesting one way gone, so she’ll have to be creative.

“Slisshvm-Slisshvmm….” Soon Pinkamena was nearby a wall of the room before she was slicing it enough with her sword that it slips outside to make….a perfect opening. At least there isn’t too much dark fire going around to burn those that could take this route…for the time being.

“I’ll just have to make our own way out, no problem.” Pinkamena responded to put her sword away after making a new exit route. “Hang tight you two, you’ll be out of danger in no time.” As she said this, she was carefully picking up Nyx to lie on her back while using her left hoof to drag the upper body of Rainbow Dash off the floor. "Isis, shield me."

Isis nods, using her Harmony Shield to block the ront. Soon the determined pink pony was slowly dragging her hooves while following her friend, she and Isis Heart Shield were almost there to safely get their friends out….of would they?

“Wait! My Pinkie Senses are tingling! Something omnibus is here other than these dark flames!” Pinkamena exclaims in concern.

"Right, I think it has something to do with that floating metal horn!" Isis Heart Shield exclaims as she points to something nearby.

Suddenly, when the pink pony turns her head to see something, what she saw was…a floating metal horn. And then from the darken aura of magic that covered it, something began to happen, the horn’s metal allow was spreading some liquid goop and restructuring its lower broken edge to form something. It became something that was that was a half pony, half dragon…except its skin was black, the arms are made out of steel, the wings are that of a Demon and the eyes are blood red. What enter the room made a screech noise, as it was now the return of Psycho Steel the Destructible, a replicated copy of Rainbow Dash’s Metal Iron the Invincible.

“No way; you were destroyed, how are you?” Pinkamena yelped in shock, this enemy was destroyed, so how is he even still alive?

“Mwahahahahahaaahh….” Suddenly, evil cackling was heard within the air of the burning surroundings, which made the pink pony tense up in…knowing the noise.

"Grimmore….” Pinkamena responded with her eyes narrow, this act was done by none other…the Demon God himself of Tartarus.

"Oh no..." Isis said in worry. Suddenly, a fiery portal appeared from behind Psycho Steel, as the Dark Elf himself was watching the events unfold here. "Not Grimmore..."

“My, my, I expected one of the representatives of Harmony or the Triforce Element Bearer to come. And yet instead…” Grimmore spoke off humbly in seeing who was supposed to come save the day turns out to be none other than…Pinkamena and Iris. “I get the one that is not from this world and something new altogether.” He spoke as if saying that these two ponies that doesn’t belong, ouch.

“What are you talking about?” Pinkamena spoke off in feeling a little surprised by that last stuff said about her.

“Oh, I know all about your background story.” Grimmore responded in his expression of being superior & in control never fading in seeing this. “Your life, your trauma, your sorrow, it’s through your very soul that I can see it.” His eyes gaze at the pony and from his vision of sight could see all and read one like a book.

The pony was almost looking completely frozen and a single sweat drop was seen coming off her forehead. Pinkamena sweats when the situation is with her being pushed into a tight corner here. Isis looks worried, noting this.

“You fear something almost as much as you fear seeing a foe before you, that you cannot defeat…alone.” Grimmore spoke from his very words and his gazing eyes, Pinkamena almost felt like the entire room was getting hotter than the dark fire by this extremely powerful deity, if he attacks…it’s all over. “But fortune smiles on you, for while the odds of you surviving against me are clearly obvious, you have a slim chance against….this opponent before you.” The Dark Elf narrows his eyes to Psycho Steel, saying that he’ll be the one to fight the pony daring the dangers.

“So it all makes sense. You were the one that gave Lorcan the power to make this evil of his own darkness. And somehow magically brought it back to life,” Pinkamena spoke forth in now seeing the truth of it all, she should have known this whole mess of the building on fire was by Grimmore’s handling. “Well I won’t just up and fall like that!” As she spoke, she lay the two unconscious Rainbow & Nyx together by a safe rug spoke away from the fire and drawn her sword.

"Right and I will make sure that they won't get hurt." Isis Heart Shield said while holding her Harmony Shield." Pinkamena, it's obvious that this is your fight so I will keep the two safe while you do this.

"Thanks, Isis."

“Hmph-hmph, I expected much resistance, now let the entertainment begin…” Grimmore chuckled deeply inside in seeing something interesting was about to begin and he’ll enjoy it. “Time….is of the essence.” He issued off that if the pink pony wants to win, she better do it fast, time is something precious….for one’s very life, or ones lives.

And that was when what was stated became a reality, time was ticking, the building was still on fire, and if Pinkamena didn’t end this soon, she and those still in here would surely perish. Psycho Steel unleashed fire from its mouth to which Pinkamena dodged away from that attack while using her sword to repel & swing off. The enemy fires rockets to which the pink pony used her sword to rebound them away from her and her unconscious friends. Then the enemy fired lasers from its eyes that almost made Pinkamena yelp from the stunt. Some of the attacks almost got near Nyx and Rainbow Dash but Isis Heart Shield uses her shield to knock the attacks away, some hit Psycho Steel as well.

“Drat, where’s a peasant when you need one to distract such an enemy?” Pinkamena cursed in recalling this foe’s weakness from Lorcan’s Wrath, but there is none around.

Soon Psycho Steel prepares to fire a huge fireball, but the disfigured pink pony stares at the enemy to suddenly charge forth. The enemy fires its attack, but Pinkamena dodged it to quickly deliver a strike against the foe…on the other side. Things seem calm while the dark fire was still being active until….something was heard being cut. And then from Psycho Steel the Destructible, it’s top middle section was split in half that it dropped two ways across the ground, earning Pinkamena her victory.

"Yeah, all right," Isis Heart Shield cheers on wildly, grinning at how her friend has taken down the enemy.

“Hah! Guess you were only as tough when you were a larger enemy!” Pinkamena boasted off in seeing that the foe was once giant size, but as a normal size like the Metal Iron the Invincible was when Rainbow Dash had fought that creation when both Equestria & Video Game World were nearly fused that time.

“I have a closer look if I were you.” Grimmore spoke off in knowing, there was a little something else this pony should pay close attention to.

Suddenly a strange moment was happening, the split parts were beginning to show their split sides forge in strange metallic goop. And then it started to make the halves come up before becoming solid and soon entering were two Alicorn creatures of metal from pass the flames surrounding the room.

"Holy Celestia," Isis Heart Shield gasps in alarm; Two Alicorn creatures; that doesn't seem fair!

“WHAT; there’s TWO of them?” Pinkamena yelped off in not believing this, when could something related to Rainbow Dash’s creation suddenly regenerate and then make another portion of itself.

“Have a closer look and see a difference.” Grimmore still remain ever in control of things as there was still more to this then just a simple duplication at hand.

Pinkamena looked closely that one was Psycho Steel the Destructible, but the other was not. It had different features then the other one, but it looked closely like…something from the past; Like as in a different moment of a past that was the original before this steel version foe.

“Hugh! Metal Iron The Invincible!” Pinkamena gasped out in pure shock, the very foe Rainbow Dash managed to defeat, the one before Psycho Steel The Destructible was now back in action! “But he was defeated by Rainbow Dash! How could he be here now?” She couldn’t believe this, how was an enemy that was defeated & believed to be gone suddenly returns now?

“When Lorcan used a gift of mine to create a shape & form of his darkness, he stumbled across what happened and took an interest in it.” Grimmore spoke in explaining things from his flaming portal window about events that had happened in the past. “From there, the new creature of darkness was born, but a part of it still carried what was the old.” This explanation spoke of how the two different forms of Rainbow Dash’s old creation to a new creation came into being one in the same. “And now, you’re situation has grown twice the difficulty.” Now the facts were in, now instead of an old enemy, two old enemies from the past are here.

“So what; I’ll slice them in half again!” Pinkamena protests in preparing her sword to slice these lookalike foes apart.

“A repeat performance usually has the same development, wouldn’t you agree?” Grimmore made a wise remark in being ever so in control of what the situation will become if a repeat performance happens.

Pinkamena froze there in hearing those words and that’s when realization was hitting her…..If she cuts off their parts, it may just develop more of Metal Iron the Invincible & Psycho Steel the Destructible in the process. Not to mention, there has gotta be an easier way in speaking the name of these things that are a part of the same creation line. Man, things are really looking tough here.

“So…if I cut them, it’ll let them create these so-called….Iron Maiden Brigade.” Pinkamena raised an eyebrow in seeing if she’s not careful, she’ll create an army of these iron creation fiends with different appearances and different names, that’ll be hard to keep track on them.

“An interesting name for a large swarm that can happen….if you’re not careful.” Grimmore makes a sly comment in seeing the pony realizes what will happen if a single mistake is done.

Now things really became a hot pocket as the two Iron Maidens launched themselves to attack Pinkamena in a two against one fight with Isis Heart Shield doing her best to keep the unconscious ones safe; The pink pony was force to repel off attacks and dodge any melee hits or rocket, lasers, or flaming breaths. This was really not gonna be a pretty picture to handle.

“Ugh, I…can’t keep this up forever. I’ve usually had better times finishing off such foes. But not with regenerative cells!” Pinkamena struggles to block a near attack close to her with her sword, all she can do is block & countermeasure defensively; that won’t win this fight.

“Then how will you fight? And how long can you last?” Grimmore smiled ever so with evil in seeing the pony is truly caught in a hard moment where she can’t attack without increasing the problem by more numbers.

“PLENTY,” Pinkamena snaps off that she can last long enough to figure something out.

"Right, she has dealt with odds before, mister, she can do so again!" Isis Heart Shield snaps angrily to the enemy. "It's no wonder why you are a big jerk like Dark Curse."

“Never mention his name around me. Anyway, ah, but you’ve forgotten…time is still going, and that goes for those about to suffer.” Grimmore remarked off that while this little so-called hero can handle going on, the others she came for…can’t be in the same condition.

Pinkamena turns to see Nyx & Rainbow Dash still on the ground, but the dark fire is vastly beginning to approach them and Isis Heart Shield. But from her foolish distraction, one laser shot cut off the eyelashes above the mare’s eyes, & the smoke of the Dark Inferno was still suffocating her lungs since it made it harder for her to see. Now time is really starting to begin racing around the pony’s pace.

“Cough-cough, oh great; Now my situation is really not looking so good.” Pinkamena remarked off between coughs, she may be tough, but even she may have a limit to staying conscious from breathing in this much smoke.

"Pinkamena, we got to cut this short or we won't last long in this inferno." Isis Heart Shield said seriously to her friend. She's right; it's time to get themselves, Rainbow and Nyx out of here.

Soon the pink pony was now racing across the broken boards to try to push the two metal foes away. But when one of them fired off its rockets, it missed, but almost came near the two unconscious ponies and Isis Heart Shield, even the mare is not sure if she could block that attack, Pinkamena threw her daggers to intercept and cause an explosion; That stopped that reckless attack from hurting those that are not awake, as well as Isis Heart Shield, and keep them out of danger.

“Hey! Back off! Harm those ponies and it will be your last!” Pinkamena snaps at the two lookalike metal head foes that were almost about to bring harm to Isis, Nyx & Rainbow Dash who at the moment, aren’t even awake to defend themselves.

“Not quite….for you must know, anything may go now. For you, you’ve shown caution & concern not of your own being, but of others.” Grimmore spoke in seeing the display take place in how much Pinkamena is trying to fight, but rather protect those who can’t defend for themselves. “You should expect a villain to take advantage of such things, or in this case…them.” the Dark Elf remarks in such a superiority that he knows this one’s weakness; compassion, and like any true evil, he performs the deed to a new extent.

Pinkamena only let off a growl; these metal headed foes are really pushing it. Worst is when they fire rock missiles, and some ain’t aim at her, it’s at the other three ponies. The pink pony uses her sword to knock the shots away, but they exploded off near the walls, weakening the structure. And then she dodged laser blast that imploded pillars, if this keeps up, the fire won’t even bring the room down, but the enemy’s attacks will.

“Great, at this rate, I’ll bring the whole place down in flames!” Pinkamena moans to see what’s happening while dodging both enemy attacks and the building that can come down on her. “There has to be some way to beat them & that regenerative ability.” She had to think in how these Iron Maiden creatures can be beat, something to keep them from regenerating by adding something that is more lasting or…. “Wait a second; I think I just got me an idea that will burn my problems away.” She responded in suddenly noticing around her, the answers were right there.

"What is it?" Isis Heart Shield asks, coughing a bit. Even this fire is getting to her. Pinkamena got to use her solution and fast!

Now was the moment, as Pinkamena did the only course action by charging with her sword held; Both Iron Maiden units were firing off their attacks that were exploding the sections. But none got the pink pony before she came out of the smokescreen to use her sword like a rammer to ram the two across. And Pinkamena avoided any hits or loose movements to push the enemies…into a giant center of lit dark fire; And with a final shove off, Pinkamena sent the two straight into the fires hotter than anything to keep burning, even against their regenerative ability.

“GreeeIiiiihhh…” Both Metal Iron the Invincible & Psycho Steel The Destructible were feeling the burn from the Dark Inferno. The dark fire’s ability to burn things and not be put out was making it hard for the creature’s regenerative abilities to recover over this.

“Intriguing, using a power of mine in a destructive purpose for your own.” Grimmore responded with an expression of not being mad, but rather intrigue in how this pony used something else that was a disadvantage, and made it into her own advantage.

“Hah, looks like…cough-cough…I managed to beat your scheme.” Pinkamena was smiling to proudly declare that she beaten this enemy’s clever tactic while still coughing a bit.

“Oh, but the finale is just around the corner.” Grimmore smiled deviously in having a special surprise, and from this powerful Demon God, it can’t be good.

At the moment, what escaped the firry portal window were two Copy Crystals that made Pinkamena yelp. The crystals went into the dark fire to absorb some while fusing with the burning Iron Metal the Invincible & Psycho Steel the Destructible. They admitted an evil aura while their horns were glowing from an unstable magic in taking in the power given to them and the evil flame that’s destroying them.

“Attack with this little gift for your final function service,” Grimmore responded to his burning creations with a final order at this moment, “Infusion of the Dark Inferno with the Triforce replica of the Copy Crystal. I’ll warn you that such deadly power may completely cause harmful damage of a new scale.” He explained that when both Metal Iron the Invincible & Psycho Steel The Destructible attack from two dangerous powers at once, the results maybe…catastrophic.

“You think I’ll let that finish me.” Pinkamena got mean and serious, held her sword for protection, and to be ready to counterattack or duck out of the way if it’s too dangerous.

“Not just you…but your entire area, including…your friends.” Grimmore kept his evil expression in smiling that when the attack hits, it will get everything in the room’s area; including that which is most important to the pony.

“Hugh!” Pinkamena gasped out in shocking terror, and turn to her unconscious friends and Isis Heart Shield, her surroundings of the burning building, and two enemies of the Dark Elf about to launch a final, if not seriously critical damage.

"You are meaning to get rid of all of us?!" Isis Heart Shield demands to Grimmore in worry.

“Correct. Two choices, you may sacrifice them to getaway and continue to fight until you find your foe to defeat. Or….” Grimmore spoke off in knowing that Pinkamena has an objective to conquer, but she can only do so if she leaves without her friends. “Try to save your friends, by being their shield besides what the one still awake has got and giving up yourself from what your late friend from the other world gave to help you and she perished from the passing of time & the evil within that you despise becoming.” From Grimmore’s eyes, they’ve seen through Pinkamena’s soul to read her like an open book as he knows precisely what the pony that appears like Pinkamena Pie is trying to do…if she can do it.

“Grrr….darn you….” Pinkamena growled under her breath, the Dark Elf has caught her between a rock and a hard place with no way out.

“Let the act of your forever choice be what will guide you.” Grimmore spoke off like a powerful deity to left up his right hand in preparing to commence the attack. “Do it.” He spoke in giving the order to the burning minions in the dark fire to attack with their final assault.

“Truuussfrusssvhmmm….” Soon both what are the Metal Maidens Brigade unleashed a pulse wave of white magic that was invisible, but its power was blasting across the floor area to decimate much of it. That much can bring the entire floor of the building to blow and the ponies with it. 

Pinkamena had only one choice to make, so she went with it; she went to her friends Isis Heart Shield, Nyx & Rainbow Dash to grab them and run out near the open hole in the wall to the outside. Rainbow Dash was beginning to slowly wake up, only to see she and Nyx were running with…Pinkamena Diane Pie carrying them. And soon saw the place beginning to rumble a bit to almost come apart, and an attack heading towards them.

“Wha..What?” Rainbow Dash was just now starting to wake up, only to notice two things; one that an attack was coming at them and two, Pinkamena was carrying her.

“Don’t worry, you will not suffer to them Dashie.” Pinkamena responded off with her little voice of assurance to show a little honest smile.

“Pinkamena,” Rainbow Dash repeated the name of the pony that she has had fears of, was she…saving her, Isis Heart Shield & Nyx; But…why?

"Hang on!" Isis Heart Shield calls out. And then before anyone could stop the pink pony, she threw the three ponies out the large hole window that she made.

“Waaaaiiit…." Rainbow Dash shouted when she was thrown out with Nyx and Isis Heart Shield following beside her.

Then Pinkamena turns around to hold up her sword to block the incoming attack to the best she could while Dashie tries to help Nyx. “Trupowwfrisvhmmm….” But soon Pinkamena was hit by the combined Triforce magic & Dark Inferno that was launched as the white invisible shockwave came in contact. “GWUUAAAHHAAAAAUGHHH-AAAAAAAAAA…Uuuuaaaaaghhhh!” Pinkamena was unleashing a painful cry while trying her best to not fall, but the attack was almost too much, “Waaaaaugjhhhaaaaahhh!” She roars her screams from her mane & tail being flown off in the background while some bits of loose ends are scattered apart while the brutal assault was completely covering over her before…it all went white.

----------

During the critical moment of what was happening to Pinkamena, Golden Heart felt something that made those with him see him have a horrified expression.

“Golden Heart, what is the matter?” Omega asked off in seeing something was bothering Golden Heart at the moment.

“Something just happened to Pinkamena, it felt like her screams echoed afar to where I heard it from my heart.” Golden Heart responded in almost looking like something happened to his sister, and he felt it even apart.

“Something may have happened, go now to her, hurry!” The Light Elf of the group issued this to his friend to find Pinkamena while there is still time.

Golden Heart quickly teleported as fast as he could, something seriously bad must have happened, he never felt something like this. He can only pray that his sister is still alright.

--------

And meanwhile, the scene moment return to what happened when Isis Heart Shield, Rainbow Dash & Nyx’s figures are blinded too much from the smoke clouds and right during the attack Pinkamena took for their escape need…

“BOOOMKURPOWWfruvhmmm….” Suddenly outside the burning building, an explosion was seen that happened that caused the area to shake with wind blast shockwaves. The pony citizens were almost too terrified to wonder what was happening. At this moment, Twilight & Ben had gathered enough ingredients that Tao managed to just finish making the batch by explaining to Twilight how to make it when the Mystic Ponies saw what was happening.

“AAAAIIEYAAAAAAAHHHH,” Tao yelled out from trying to control the issue, but it seems too powerful.

“Uncle! What is happening?” Dragon Kick yells out from trying to keep his side under control, but it seem this action was outside their calculation.

“Talk later, we got three ponies falling!” Jade pointed in seeing something that made her two uncles look to worry.

"Look out below!" Isis Heart Shield cries out as she manages to direct her landing enough to land safely. "Rainbow and Nyx are on their way behind me."

The crowds all saw Rainbow Dash falling out during the explosion while Nyx was also there a bit further ahead. Once after Rainbow Dash finally snapped herself out of it, she went to open her wings to glide near Nyx to grab her while trying to control her landing. Course she relived the old ‘Rainbow Crash’ to crash against the ground, up she held Nyx up away so the filly wouldn’t get hurt before they came to a stop.

“Nyx; Rainbow,” Twilight cried out, as she, her friends and loved ones surrounded the two ponies that that they worried so much.

“Are you both alright?” Ben asked to help pick Nyx up to allow Rainbow to get up on her own.

“Ugh, a little bang up, but I think we’ll be fine.” Rainbow Dash cringes a bit from the painful landing, but…any landing one can walk away from, is a good landing, or so some say.

“That’s a relief.” Spike sighs in feeling a big relief, they all thought these two be goners. He notices Isis Heart Shield recovering. "Isis Heart Shield?"

"Mom sent me to help. I can't say no." Isis Heart Shield said, polishing her shield off. "Though I got to get a better shield than this...or at least improve it."

“But where’s other Pinkie Pie?” Phobos spoke off in noticing a bigger question of the hour of one more missing pony.

That question brought up a lot of puzzling confusions; where was the last pony that went in to save Rainbow Dash who charged in to save Nyx? 

Meanwhile, within the building that’s now beginning to fall apart, Grimmore’s fiery portal was watching while both Metal Iron the Invincible & Psycho Steel The Destructible were burnt completely by the dark fire. But as the smoke began to clear, something appeared from the scene that showed a struggling pony trying to rand firm. Pinkamena was gritting her teeth with wide eyes in trying to keep herself from falling here, her body was showing smoke trails from her body ‘just’ managing to not get burn, much less than her mane, tail & fur coat from being too much burn off.

“So it’s true. You have earned something of a semi-immortality.” Grimmore spoke with a sly amount of being amused in seeing this Pinkie lookalike with a freaky appearance has more than meets the eye. “Any other living creature would be dead right now.” The Dark Elf announced in knowing those that do not have such immortality, even a semi-immorality, could hardly survive a blast of that little amount.

“Hugh…hugh…glad to see…I caught you by surprise. Cough-cough….” Pinkamena was breathing in extra heavy from being told of such things, but she tried to stay strong while in the presence of a still fierce foe.

“While I will admit, you’ve done well; the real question is…what will you do from here out?” Grimmore spoke with a small riddle to the pony that’s just barely keeping herself standing. “While you survived, the attack was a fusion of my Dark Inferno and you’ve been breathing in a fair large amount.” He saw that Pinkamena wore no mask to cover her mouth from breathing in smoke that would damage the lungs.

“So, I might feel a sore throat.” Pinkamena raised an eyebrow in stating she doesn’t mind if she has a hard talk speaking.

“Oh, that’s where your wrong.” Grimmore responded with an evil demeanor from his expression in watching one act out in just as he expected. “To the living, if they had kept breathing small amounts would eventually die within half an hour or so.” That was the truth, any creature that has not of immortality would die from such a condition. “But dark magic is what was made from the dark flames, and breathing them in so much may cause a more serious matter to leave you in a state worse than death itself.” The Dark Elf remorse in stating this fact that just breathing enough of the dark fire can cause a condition worse than dying.

“What….what’s worse than death?” Pinkamena slowly spoke to ask while using her sword to as a balancer to keep her from falling.

“The case where you’ll soon be experiencing the darkness you’ve kept within & feared to let it control you.” Grimmore spoke out the part of what his very eyes could see that this living creature has kept inside her. “Yes, your other self in which she caused you such misery to become.” He was pushing the buttons in knowing all too well, of what Pinkamena feared to become.

Hearing those words seem to make even Pinkamena Diane Pie almost snap her senses on high alert. Could what be said be true, and that a foe she held in her heart to defeat….may come to get her?

“He’s right, little Pinkamena.” A suddenly dark mist was seen from behind Pinkamena that was only seen by the pony of being…something of her worst fears. “Very soon, you’ll be weak enough to no longer rest, and then…your mine, at last.” The dark mist almost shaped it’s self into another Pinkie Pie, but this one more crazy & insane, and evil with an evil snicker grin.

“Noo….” Pinkamena gasped off in seeing this, she can’t be about to lose…to her greatest fear.

“You played well in this act and have entertained me. Saving your friends & love ones by your own sacrifice was noble.” Grimmore proclaimed in giving some compliment work on Pinkamena in this act of heroic behavior. “But the price may have started something in which you will have to decide your fate. I shall see if you remain for either side to play a role and entertain me more.” The Dark Elf grinned ever so evilly superior in seeing that whatever happens to this pony, her fate will be sealed. “Gurwahahaha-Hah-Hah-Hah-Hah-Haaahh…” Soon with the evil laughter, the fiery portal window vanished from the scene while leaving a crumbling structure and a frozen pink pony….in the room where all actions seem to be…slowing down for her.

And it was around now that the entire area was beginning to come apart at a rapid paste. Outside, the ponies & fire brigade were rushing away when the entire building came down. The Mane Six, Ben & Tao’s family saw the scene happened just as the fire team backs away.

“Dear me, the entire place has become rubble.” Rarity gasped in seeing what has befallen here today.

“Not only dat, but it’s still burning.” Applejack pointed off in seeing the place was still showing the dark fire still active, even when it looks like it burn everything.

“Oh dear me and there’s still one more pony in there.” Fluttershy yelped in fearing there was only one more soul still trapped under all of this.

“We need to put out the fire!” Pinkie Pie shouted out in panic in seeing they have to do something.

“Tao, the spell is done.” Twilight reported to Mystic Tao from setting a scroll with some written symbols.

“Good, now to carefully seal away this dark flame.” Tao issued in seeing this was the chance to seal away such dark and dangerous flames.

At the moment, Tao performed some signs in which the dark fire was being lifted up from around the rubble, and going into the paper. Once all of it was inside, a symbol was seen as in stating that the magic was sealed. With the objective done, it was now safe to approach the burn and collapsed building without fear of dark fire that could burn a civilian.

“Ahhhh, thank goodness, I feared any longer would have exhausted us.” Dragon Kick sighs in relief from fearing that the Mystic Ponies wouldn’t have lasted much longer.

“But we still have a problem.” Sweetie Belle stated out in knowing they aren’t done yet.

“Right, some pony didn’t make it out.” Apple Bloom nods in stating that there was still another pony inside.

“What if she was caught in that fire?” Scootaloo asked in fearing the worst possibility for them to come across.

“Could she survive that Tao?” Ben asked in hopping, Tao would know if a pony would survive such ordeals.

The Mystic Ponies were silent in not answering the question. To them, no living mortal could survive being burn by those flames, and if even one with tough durability tried to hold out, it only be in vain because until the flames are sealed or removed, the pain won’t stop.

“Hey wait, look! Something’s moving!” Jade pointed out in seeing something happening over by the fallen building.

True to words as the smoke clears from the rubble surface, something begins to move before it completely pushes the stuff off of it. And the gang saw what was the pony that looked bruised & beat, but alive.

“Pinkamena,” The Mane Six, the CMC, Isis Heart Shield, the baby Dragons, & Tao’s family responded, Pinkamena was okay, a little on the messy side, but still alive.

“She’s alright!” Spike cried out in being relieved to see this pony was alright.

“Sure, if you can say that after a building was dropped down on her.” Phobos shrugs off to say this before Tao whacked him on his noggin. “Ow!” He yelped from the sudden pain that he himself was given here.

“Do not make jokes of when a pony almost became dead!” Tao scolds Phobos for even thinking of joking around.

As the gang went to approach Pinkamena to begin asking how she was doing, some pony was not moving as fast which earn the attention of the awoken Nyx.

“Rainbow Dash, come on….” Nyx turned from seeing Rainbow was not coming up to join them. “Don’t you wanna say hi & give some thanks?” She asked in why the dare-devil pony is not wanting to see how the one who saved them is doing.

“But I don’t know, I mean….I still has had some old issues with her, but….” Rainbow Dash shrugs off her shoulders to say before sighing. “Hugh, what kinda pony am I to say thanks after being so scared of her even though I since apologized? How can I expect that she’ll accept it as well?” Pinkamena has terrified Dashie, and even though she still fears this freak Pinkie Pie lookalike, what can she say to her when she saved their lives.

“Just be loyal to your heart, you are representative of Loyalty, aren’t you?” Nyx pointed out with a small smile on her face to encourage the pony.

Rainbow swallows hard before joint up to be with the others after they had their extra minutes to speak to Pinkamena. Now it was Dashie’s turn to say a few things.

“Hey um, Pinkamena…I ugh…” Rainbow Dash was having a hard time speaking her thoughts out. “Ugh, just wanna say…you know…thanks.” She struggled for a bit until she just let out what she wanted to say, “For saving both me and Nyx from the fire; and…again sorry if I have been too much being frighten by you to be a better friend.” The mare was really being loyal and honest with herself to the pony that risked her life for hers & others. 

Hearing this made Pinkamena Diane Pie smile, somehow hearing such comments from the pony she scared most made her…feel at some ease some more.

“I’m just happy to see you’re happy….and safe…” Pinkamena spoke from trying to focus her eyes on Rainbow & the rest. “I just hope, you’ve learn I’m changed & we can be….” But during her speaking, her vision was becoming blurry until her movement shown an act of being dizzy. “Fri..e…ends.” Pinkamena slowly spoke these words out before her eye sight became a blur and they fell shut.

Suddenly, at this moment that shocked everyone was when Pinkamena soon fall across the ground; out cold.

“HUUUUAGH,” The gang gasped in seeing this, the stress of what may have happened might have been too much for the pony’s body to handle.

“Oh my, what’s wrong?” Rarity gasped in shock to see what has befallen here.

“She’s unconscious!” Applejack stated in seeing what just became serious here.

“Oh dear, was it from the smoke?” Fluttershy yelped in fearing that this pony breathed too much of that awful smoke.

“We need CPR here!” Pinkie Pie yelled out for any pony to do mouth-to-mouth, course that seem to be another issue.

“Calm down, we need to get her treated!” Ben calms the others down in what needs to be done here.

“We need to get her some medical attention and fast. Who knows what that Dark Inferno could have done to her if she breathed the stuff?” Twilight explained in what needs to be done, and to figure out the problem of the pony’s condition

“But who’s gonna take care of her to make sure she’s helped?” Spike asked off in who will take care of that sorta stuff if the gang gotta report & clean up this place.

“I’ll take her!” At that moment, Golden Heart arrives at the scene by dropping in from the sky. “She’s my responsibility, so it’s the least I can do for her.” He stated to approach the group to check on Pinkamnea’s condition.

“What do you mean?” Rainbow Dash asked off in what this Alicorn was saying.

“You all may not know, but I’ve kept her hidden after we met, and that’s why she was not in Pinkie’s Secret Dungeon at times.” Golden Heart issued off in making a clear claim that surprised them all. “As you remember, I saw her, like a little sister that needed some help and promised to help her. But I guess I came very late.” As he spoke, he helped lift Pinkamena up to fly up in the air with her. “So let me help her, and when she’s fully recovered, well, you all know that by now so there's no need to go back into the recap.” As he spoke those words, he begs to have the gang give him time.

Seeing that Pinkamena did help save Nyx & Rainbow Dash from a terrible fire, they nod to let her big brother Golden Heart, take care of her; And without another delay, Goldie teleported out of the area to leave every pony in the dark. This was some crazy moment; a loose fire, a freaky pony daring to save others inside to Golden Heart being connected, things will be rowdy after a while.

Rainbow Dash feels a note in her mane and picks it up. It reads, 'You might not need to worry about me not being in control anymore, you and your friends. Sign your friend'.

Rainbow thinks and then she knows but decides to play it cool and puts the note away and acts like not knowing.

Chapter 4: Deep Coma Adventure


Within Dark Curse's Throne Chamber, a black armored Dark Mystic Soldier appeared and bowed before Dark Curse. He spoke, "My lord. Amon Blood had returned."

Dark Curse smirks as he say, "Bring him in."

Dark Mystic Soldier left and headed out to get Amon Blood. For a moment later, the door was opened by a brown hooded Unicorn with Chinese Scary Mask, his tail is short brown tail, and his Cutie Mark is Ping and Skull. He approached and bowed before his master.

"Amon Blood; Welcome home," Dark Curse said, welcoming one of his allies back.

"All Hail to my master. I had done as you had requested. Though I only had managed to get seven items for yours and Smaug's project, but I assure you I'll get more." Amon said to Dark Curse with a nod.

"Do not worry of it. I have a mission for you to perform."

"I'm listening."

---------------

Soon the building was all over the ground and its fire was gone for good. The Mane Six, Dragons, the Cutie Mark Crusaders members, the three Mystic Ponies, and Ben stand as they looked so worried, surely for Pinkamena as Iris Heart Shield left to inform her mother of what happened. They looked at each other as the silence was broken out by a sound of galloping. The gang looks up and saw Flare Tiger arriving with her adopted daughter.

Iris Heart Shield spoke, "I told her what happened with Pinkamena."

Tao sighed, "I see.... And who are you might be?"

Flare Tiger grinned as she answers, "Ah'm Flare Tiger, Iris Heart Shield's adopted mother. Ah had heard of you, Oh, great Mystic Tao."

They look shocked at her as Rainbow Dash asked, "Um...did you break the fourth wall to find out?"

Flare Tiger giggled, "Eenope! That's for ya to find out!"

Iris Heart Shield asked, "Mom, you had something that will help Pinkamena."

Flare Tiger shake her head while asking, "Ah, eeyup, could ya head over to Golden Oak Library? Ah had a favor to ask to Twilight."

Twilight asked, "What is it?"

Flare Tiger held out a letter with a smile.

Flare Tiger smiled while explaining, "This letter goes to Princess Celestia, it will be explained to her."

Spike jump in as he breath fire on the letter causing it to wisp away.

Flare Tiger sighed, "Now, the next one is a tough one, Twilight, could ya get Megan's family over here? Tell her, Pinkamena's in trouble."

Twilight shocked exclaims, "What! Why you... Oh, you want to explain when we're all there?"

Flare Tiger smiled while answering, "Eeyup."

They rushed as Twilight teleported out as best as possible. There is no time for delaying.

-------------------------

The scene focuses on a certain pink pony whose looks like Pinkie Pie, but was Pinkamena instead. We see her lying in a bed, seemingly unmoving with her eyes shut. She was resting at this time, especially since it’s been quite a long while. But something was happening that showed her eyes twitch, her expression be seen grim, and she looked almost like she was having a fever.

“Heheheh-hahahahah….” And there was strange maniacal crazy laughter heard within the distant wind that seems to catch the pony’s attention. “Cupcakes, cupcakes, all around. I love to gather up ones and make them.” The creepy voice was speaking with a playful voice in almost sounding ominous.

Pinkamena’s scene began to fade to where it shows a strange puffy cloud fog. And from the cloud was a shadow of a pony that was almost shape like Pinkie Pie. But there was something very suspicious about this and this was not a joke from the real Pinkie Pie, something was up and was not right here.

“Especially when the secret ingredient…is making my cupcakes….” The creepy shadowy Pinkie Pie figure spoke before showing forth a trail of cupcakes that were….twisted to show not frosty goodness & toppings, but things belonging to…ponies, “With ponies’ flesh with them!” The creepy figure exclaimed off in what the cupcakes looked like were coats, horns, feathery wings, manes & tails, and let’s not go beyond that if we rather hold our lunch intact. “And don’t worry; we’ll share some with our friends.” The spooky figure responded in that they’ll be sharing these treats of twisted materials towards friends of theirs. “Isn’t that right, Dashie & all?” The shadowy figure moves away to show a cloud of mist clearing up to see about six pony figures.

The scene then focus on what was behind the very cloud of if the Mane Six is located there. But they were all nothing but stuff figures with shock & horror looking expressions that forever froze their faces and most of their coats & body parts were missing. It's like they were subjective to some unbearable treatment & horror that they are now a part of a world that is....a nightmare. And then the worst of it happened, the shadowy Pinkie Pie character made a sinisterly large grin & glowing neap red eyes to scare anybody out of seeing like a Demon psycho.

“Kehehehehe-Hahahahaha-haaahhh,” And then the evil shadow Pinkie Pie figure started to make a creepy cackle of a twisted being that hide in the dark & catches her pray. “Whaaa-Huhuhuh-hahahahaaahh…” And she continued to make off with such a scary laughter that it echo all around her.

The scene quickly begins to swirl with more strange images appearing around the sleeping Pinkamena. The pony seems to be living through a vortex and from it were many different voices saying different things across her time of hearing many things. Some of the present, some of the mid-past, and even further back, and sometimes a mix back to the present.

“You’re a clone of the original Pinkie Pie!” A voice snapped off in stating who the pony was that was a clone of Pinkie Pie.

“We have to warn every pony she’s loose!” Rainbow’s voice hollered out in warning those of some pony that’s loose.

“Keep her in the dungeon!” Another Rainbow voice is heard making this issued claim.

“Where is she?” Another voice hollered out in fear of who’s out there.

“Your time’s Uuuuuppp!” Pinkamena’s voice was heard in making this response

“Not the Brrrs!” A panicky voice cried out in getting this effect.

“Thanks Goldie.” Pinkamena’s voice was heard thanking her brother.

“No problem, your my little sister after all.” Golden Heart’s voice replied back in kindness.

“Care for a cupcake?” Another female voice responded with a creepy tone.

“I’ll rip your Cutie Marks off your flanks to make a sweater.” The same veil scary voice state in what she’ll do.

“Cupcakes anyone,” The same voice asked off in who wanted a cupcake.

“I leave to you my sword, now go and find…your answers.” The voice of Pinkie Pie, but much more…older & senile responded.

“You can’t change who you are.” The scary evil voice of a mare issued in making this statement.

“I’m not gonna be like you.” Pinkamena’s voice snapped off in protest.

“You are me; we are one in the same. It’s only a matter….of time.” The evil voice sounding like Pinkie Pie issued off with a final claim while some evil laughter is heard.

The craziness was really beginning to keep happening like magical blurs in the windy vortex around the center of Pinkamena who still lying in her bed. She continued to struggle and let off moans, bite her lips and sweat, and exhale her breathing. She was most definitely not doing well of her situation, it’s like a nightmare that she’s living through and it’s not ending. Worse off were strange black cloud mist that swirl around her, trying to swallow her whole, and there were glowing red eyes of an evil presence in the mix. Something was happening that she couldn’t fight off and would almost meet her defeat if nothing is done to stop what is continuing to happen to her.

During a moment after an hour had pass, did Golden Heart & only a few of those that came into Pinkamena’s room tried to check up on the girl. The results remain mostly unchanged, sad to say. The pink pony was still in her bed, looking like her body was frozen & remains silent, but there were times Pinkamena showed signs of movement, but not from waking up. More like experiencing a terrible dream & sweat & exhale her breathing, almost like she’s trying to fight something that can’t be seen normally.

“Well Omega, any changes in her condition?” Golden Heart asked with some concerns if there have been any changes with his sister since…the burning building event engulf by dark flames.

“Scanners show zero percent change.” Omega shook his head ‘no’ in answering the question after his scans have done a quick work for the stallion. “Condition remains unchanged.” He issued point clearly that Pinkamena is still in the same state of a coma-like state.

“That’s what I was afraid to hear.” Golden Heart sighs heavily in hearing this, and the truth is, it’s starting to drive him nuts.

“It’s already been almost 4 days since the incident where she saved Rainbow Dash & Nyx from the dark fire.” The Light Elf spoke off in sensing some concerns over how long it’s been since that tragic fire event happened in Ponyville where Pinkamena perform a heretic deed. “But it would seem that both it and the attacks of what we learn were triggered by Grimmore.” This was the shocking fact that none of them ever considered would happen at such a time.

“Tell me about it. Even Rainbow said she was shocked to learn her creation Metal Iron The Invincible & to Psycho Steel The Destructible made from Lorcan’s darkness would resurface.” Golden Heart stated from feeling this was a shocker to believe two metallic pony creations came back when they believed that they themselves were no more. “To think that Grimmore could recreate what was destroyed & develop those…Iron Maiden Brigade is…unthinkable.” He looked away a bit distracted, if the powerful Dark Elf could do that, he could create a large number of Iron Maidens that look like the two destroyed foes.

“I’ve scan the metal remains of the foes that were burned away, they appear to be destroyed.” Omega stated about Metal Iron the Invincible & Psycho Steel the Destructible, both metal foes seem to have melted away by the dark fire. 

“However, we must be alert, they could return, and in more numbers now.” The Light Elf stated that the group should know that Grimmore could mess with their minds of what they think, the defeated may return in greater odds & in greater numbers.

“Right now the biggest concern is why Pinkamena is still like this.” Golden Heart changed the subject quickly to see that his sister was still in the state of being in her coma state. “She has been unconscious this whole time, and even though we helped heal her, she isn’t waking up.” Goldie doesn’t know what to do, his sister has already had time to rest & they’ve made sure that the body is healed back to health; so why isn’t she waking up?

“It’s just like a fairy tale, isn’t it?” A voice spoke off that entered the room that caught the others by surprise. And who else would be in here than the Spirit of Chaos himself; Discord, the reformed foe of Equestria.

“Discord; What are you doing here?” Golden Heart asked off surprised that Discord would be here unannounced.

“Why, is it against the law now to come visit a patient?” Discord asked off in feeling somewhat insulted that he isn’t allowed to check on those that are not at all, feeling their best.

“Discord has you there, Goldie.” Another voice came into the picture before a portal of emerald flames appeared. And out of it came a hooded teenage dragon who we all know is Lorcan, the Former Scarred Ruler.

“You too Lorcan,” Golden Heart replied off stun & shock, the room is full of two former baddies that tried to do harm to Equestria, but, isn’t this something farfetched.

“As an old expert in being played by darkness, and by Grimmore, I came to see what I could learn of her state,” Lorcan spoke forth in what he’s doing here, as he approached the concern Alicorn stallion of wanting to wish some help on the misfortunate; namely Pinkamena.

Lorcan comes over to Pinkamena’s bedside to gaze down. From his own unique ability, Lorcan managed to see some magical aura that was Pinkamena’s own, but…there was another. A darken aura of two different verses, one seem to be of fiery mist, but another seem to join forces with it like it was….a living personality. And as Lorcan watched, the aura seem to show frightful eyes to leer at him before the hooded Dragon teen waved his arm off to disburse the aura he saw, much to those that saw him do an odd act. After calming down, Lorcan knew what was happening, and it wasn’t good.

“Hmmm….it’s worse than we thought.” Lorcan spoke with deep concerns in what he’s able to figure out in this state of the pony in a coma. “Did she inhale something…unusual?” He looked to Golden Heart, asking if Pinkamena breathed in something abnormal as of during a recent event some ways back.

“Answer; the dark fire; The flames spread within the burning building that any who enter without a mask over the mouth will have harder time to breath.” Omega stated in explaining what Pinkamena had come into contact with during a burning building incident.

“I’ve heard of them, the fires of hell, the Dark Inferno. Are very dangerous flames said to last seven days & nights, and only a special sealing method can stop it unless the user cancels out.” The Light Elf explained another statement around the subject, and it was of a serious matter about a power of darkness that’s hard to stop in certain ways. “Could it be that what would have killed a normal pony is behind this?” As he stated, he looked to the pink pony still in her deep sleep, maybe because of some contact from the dark fire.

“Good news, it’s not killing her…but from another involvement, it may be worse than death itself.” Lorcan spoke off with a serious issue about what’s happening here.

“What are you saying Lorcan?” Golden Heart raised an eyebrow in not liking where the news maybe heading.

“She was hit hard by a strong force of magic, correct?” Lorcan pointed out in recalling what happened to Pinkamena before the burning building came tumbling down, she was attacked by a powerful spell. “I can sense it, it’s strong, by the Dark Inferno & traces of what maybe the copied portion of the Triforce mix in to create something of a lethal infliction.” He responded with a serious statement in what they got here is a patient that may have taken a critical hit unlike any other.

“Then tell me what the problem lies in, so we can use magic to heal it.” Golden Heart exclaimed from almost sounding both mad & scared in not liking where this conversation is going.

“Ohhhh, that’s not good enough.” Discord came around Goldie to gently issue that the fact isn’t as simple as it may sound. “I’m afraid it’s very much out of our league.” Hearing this got everyone to focus on Discord as he sighs to explain things with a sorrow mood. “You see, if the condition was…’normal’, then even Mystic Magic would work, but however….” He looks to Pinkamena’s state of a unconsciousness in seeing the problem, isn’t as simple. “This dark magic belongs to a Demon class and from a God none the less. Plus thrown in the power of the Triforce of an unpredictable working matter and it’s almost too chaotic even for me to break down and fix?” Discord explained that this was a power that exists outside his own ability to undo & even Mystic Magic can’t cure that was a very performance from a Demon God.

Golden Heart stared shock for a moment in taking in these facts…very hard. Can there be nothing that can help awaken Pinkamena, what was happening to her? She seems fine, but is that really what’s happening from one side view?

“This maybe a theory, but if we can’t solve what’s happening, what about asking Pinkamena…directly,” The Light Elf spoke in making this sudden suggestion of another act to perform in solving this problem.

“What do you mean?” Lorcan asked off in becoming interested by this possible thought of aid.

“While her body maybe in a coma state, her mind & spirit are still active within her subconscious,” The Light Elf stated in knowing that Pinkamena maybe unconscious, but her soul, her spirit might be reached instead from within her subconscious. “If we can contact her through which her form of astral presence in the mind, may help in telling us what is happening to her condition.” That was the suggestion to use, seeing it’s the only thing left to help them out in reaching the pink pony…by a different method.

“Calculations show that if none other means have accommodated, then that is the only logic left.” Omega pointed off in noticing that such a method may just help them out.

“Then tell us Goldie, have you tried to get aid in the dream department?” Discord flew near Golden Heart in wondering, if the stallion had indeed tried to reach his sister…by her dreams.

“I’ve asked Luna to peek into her dreams to find out what’s wrong. But she says she can’t.” Golden Heart shrug off his shoulders in explaining that he tried to have Luna go into Pinkamena’s mind by her sleeping dream state, but that hasn’t done much as they hoped for. “Whatever is happening to her, it’s not normal means if it can keep out the princess of the night & protector of dreams.” He felt that this kinda situation of what’s keeping his sister in a coma is stronger than the princess of the moon that protects those that dream from nightmares.

“Then it’s a very serious matter.” Lorcan stated in seeing where this discussion maybe leading to. “Whatever darkness has taken refuge inside, it’s seems to be corrupting her soul. She’s fighting it, but she’s seemingly on a losing battle.” Lorcan pointed out how Pinkamena is fighting what maybe a losing battle for her, unless something can be done.

“Well there must be a way to wake her up!” Golden Heart pleaded with worry that they have to think up of something, if they don’t, then his little sister will be…well he rather not go into detail.

“Hello, fairy tale, remember? Just get a prince charming to kiss the…” Discord pops near Goldie to knock on his head to make this unusual statement, and when looking to Pinkamena’s sleeping state, her appearance was….less than a pretty sight. “Ugh, ‘unique’ beauty and maybe that could work.” Discord shrug off in thinking what word to use about the mare whose face image is very much freaky and some get a scare when looking at it.

“Maybe,” The Light Elf remotely stated that such a idea is hard to swallow if it may work at all.

“Such odds seem very low.” Omega calculated that the chances seem very low to succeed.

“Oh, and I suppose science fixes everything, that’s such a bore! At least I’m trying to think positive!” Discord rolled his eyes to the others in seeing they think such an idea isn’t worth much effort, but at least he’s trying to help, just in random ways.

“Hugh, if there was a pony Pinkamena cared for so much, it might work, but unfortunately, there aren’t that many candidates.” Golden Heart sighs in feeling that for his sister, Pinkamena’s appearance & old personality of freaking ponies out leaves very few that would overlook all that to see a soul crying for attention; if only there was some pony that cared enough to help awaken her current state.

At this moment, Lorcan had a sudden brainstorm in overhearing the chitter-chatter, and that’s when something clicked in his mind. Waking Pinkamena up from someone who cares for her, and she cares right back, it’s a long shot, but…it may just work.

“Maybe not a prince, but a love one for sure,” Lorcan issued in making this claim in what the group can go for here.

“Hugh?” Golden Heart turn to the hooded dragon in being a bit surprised, what was Lorcan saying now.

“I think I may know a loophole. Princess Luna couldn’t enter her dreams because there isn’t enough emotional ties.” Lorcan explained in what they can figure out one way to enter, only one pony who’s done such a thing wasn’t able to succeed, however… “The one to hopefully bypass this unusual defense might be those Pinkamena feels more comfy around.” That was the answer, if Luna couldn’t get into Pinkamena’s dream state to speak with her, then perhaps it comes to reason another might, one that the pink pony feels comfy around; like someone that cares for her.

“So you mean, like us?” Golden Heart pointed to him, the Light Elf & Omega, are they the ones since Pinkamena has gotten use to them.

“Or in another way to put it, YOU, Golden Boy,” Discord came around to point to Golden Heart, stating he was the candidate for the job .

“Me?” Golden Heart yelped off in hearing this right, “But why only me?” He wants to know why it’s only him that will be able to enter Pinkamena’s dream consciousness.

“She may have more ties to you since you two have some history & a developed bond, like a brother & sister line.” Lorcan explained the basic ties in what holds these two, in an interesting way to put it.

“That logic does compute.” Omega nods in hearing this, the facts are very clear.

“With that, we can send yourself into her dreams to find the problem & take care of it to awaken her.” Lorcan explained that if they send in Golden Heart into Pinkamena’s dreams, he can find the problem to take care of it to awaken the sleeping mare.

“But what if something goes wrong & I’m either stuck there or might be killed?” Golden Heart asked off with questions of possible dangers that he could face & the odds that maybe against him.

“You wanna save your sister or not? The other details can be discussed later.” Discord sternly pointed to the golden stallion to think about his sister, if he cares so much, then he’ll worry about the consequences after Pinkamena is saved from what is happening to her.

Hearing those words got Golden Heart to stop and think this through. The dangers maybe risky & if he can’t return, Equestria will lose a fighter against any acts of evil. But on the other hand, or hoof, his sister Pinkamena needs him now more than ever, and what sorta responsible big brother would turn down helping his sister that needs his help more than ever. After collecting his thoughts, Golden Heart exhale to show his face of making…his vital decision.

“Alright, you all made your point, I’ll do it. What do we have to do first?” Golden Heart makes a serious statement in readying himself in what needs to be done.

“First, we must abstract your soul from your body.” Lorcan pointed out in mentioning this little issue on what to do.

“WHAT!” Golden Heart screamed out in horror, is Lorcan nuts, why would he agree to that?

“Relax; it’ll be turn into an astral form to allow you to enter her body and her dream state.” Lorcan calmly explained this to Goldie that he will transfer his soul into Pinkamena’s body as an astral form to move about in the mare’s dreams.

“Sure, and it’s not like how you rip my soul from my body, which instead might have just been my evil essence.” Discord rolled his eyes in remarking how when Lorcan once rip his soul out while turning his body back into stone, he was actually separated from more of his evil side instead. “Oh, and speaking about our former careers, take this.” Discord responded in just recalling something here all of a sudden and magically gave Goldie….a strange metal eyeball cam device.

“What is it?” Golden Heart asked off puzzled in receiving this item from Discord all of a sudden.

“One of Rainbow Dash’s spy cams I found when she was spying on us during the Brotherhood’s rise to conquer all of Equestria.” Discord explained that it was an item he got when he and Lorcan were members of the Brotherhood before being former villains of evil. “I’ve remodeled it; call it the Eye of Discord.” He proudly exclaimed in what he’s done to make such a new device be named after himself.

“Why would you give it such a name?” The Light Elf asked off puzzled in why the Spirit of Chaos would name an item after himself, especially if it was once Rainbow’s property that he broke.

“Cause, it looks like an eyeball of mine.” Discord pointed out from surprisingly popping his eyeballs out to spin around that freak most of the group out before they return inside his sockets. “But I digress, with this on you, it will keep watch of your state and we’ll see your progress from…here.” He points to the object Golden Heart holds that will let them watch what happens from the spy came, and it will come out…another end.

Then from Discord’s magic, he made what became a large rectangle magic portal appear off by the wall which showed what was seen by the Eye of Discord.

“This idea has both means of keeping contact and observing the pink subjects dream condition & allow us to sense the dark magic within.” Omega stated in seeing this logic has both a means to watch & learn what is happening.

“Well, I suppose if this helps, I’ll hold onto it.” Golden Heart responded to hold the object he got from Discord close by to him.

“Are you ready now?” Lorcan asked the golden Alicorn stallion if he’s now ready for this.

When looking at Pinkamena’s coma state, there were no questions needed to be asked; this was Golden Heart’s choice and he’ll make sure he gets the job done right. This is no game, a life or death of fate lies in what actions will be taken place, and the stallion isn’t gonna let this cruel action of what’s effecting Pinkamena go on any longer.

“More than you may think.” Golden Heart nods with a determine face in being ready to go where he’s never gone before; into his sister’s dream world.

With a nod from Lorcan, and to Discord, both powerful creatures soon performed a spell. Discord making an opening void near Pinkamena’s head to allow some further entrance within the dream state while Lorcan glow his claws to release a gentle wave mist that enshrouded Golden Heart before his soul came out of his body and became an astral form. There, Lorcan guided the astral soul to Discord as Goldie’s spirit flew and went through the void portal that closed near the unconscious pink pony.

“It’s done, now his only way out maybe to either win the inner fight or use my special eye as an emergency recaller.” Discord responded in seeing this with a sorrow face, Golden Heart has two chances to come back, use his eye cam for an emergency escape, but if the stallion chooses not to flee, then that leaves just coming back…when the problem is eradicated.

“May his soul help ease this trouble state our friend is under.” The Light Elf responded in praying that Golden Heart helps heal Pinkamena of whatever is causing her harm.

The others remain silent before looking to the magic portal Discord made to watch what the development will be seen. So far, it’s all just a blackened void state of like someone traveling through some tunnel before they reach the end where the light would be. All their focus will be there to see, what Golden Heart can do to help awaken Pinkamena’s coma state from the darkness that’s trying to corrupt her very soul. These events are gonna be played out in more ways of learning more then what anyone was expecting to uncover….within the mind of Pinkamena Diane Pie.

------------------------------

It took four days but everyone that is needed has arrived. Mega and her family had some things to do back home on Earth before heading to Equestria to help out involving Pinkamena. At the Golden Oak Library, all of them were there as Princess Celestia looks worried.

Princess Celestia asked, "So, what you planned for Pinkamena?"

Flare Tiger smiled while saying, "With this." She held up a diamond as the mare explained, "This is called a Rainbow Prism, a very rarely gemstone, only found on Digitrisland. However, Ah had planned for this, used it to store all memories, along with the words that ya want to say to Pinkamena."

Megan gasped, "So, it's the only way?"

Flare Tiger smiled as she said, "It's like Elements of the Harmony! Thankful, it's given by herself, The Mother of the all Harmony Trees!"

Tao gasped, "Wait; There’s more of them?!?"

Flare Tiger frown while snapping, "Do ya want to save her or not?!? Ah'm happily shows ya to prove it, but not now!"

They nodded as thought of what Pinkamena had done for them and the heropes want to think of what words that they want to talked to her about. The Rainbow Prism managed to gain all of them as it's glow brightly as they awed at it.

Flare Tiger smiled as she spoke, "This is truth of the Rainbow Prism! Now, Ah need gain one more, that's King Spykoran aka Old Spike!"

They nodded as at the same time, a sound of a trump very loud is heard as they rushed out and saw King Spykoran as he smiled.

King Spykoran spoke, "I had come here quickly when I heard of Pinkamena's problem. How can I help with it?"

Twilight explained what Flare Tiger explained earlier, King Spykoran nodded as he think of the wonderful memories about Pinkamena as he want something in his mind that talked to her as at the same time, the Rainbow Prism glow bright and bright. Flare Tiger nodded as she smiled.

Flare Tiger sighed, "Now, Ah must go bring this to Pinkamena so she will be fighting back more."

Nyx asked, "What she's fighting back?"

Flare Tiger answers, "Her worst nightmare, that's Princess Luna couldn't beat. It's come from her memories of sadness, anger, and her desire."

They gasped as Flare Tiger galloping away as she rushed on. The mare got a friend to save!

-------------------

The scene now opens to a strange little realm where all seems like a void of nothingness. It was all black, white, & gray stripe mix and what could almost be like mist were all around. Truly this seems like a place to easily get lost in if one wondered off in this place. But then suddenly, a magical vortex opened up that let it drop off something, or someone…namely a pony. It was Golden Heart, or more likely his astral form, but for now, it was more looking like his physical self. The only explanation for this is one thing…he must be in the Dream World of his sister; Pinkamena. And that means one thing, the spell work, he’s here, he had no trouble getting in, at least….so far.

“So…this is the Dream World that Luna can sometimes visit. Hugh.” Golden Heart spoke off in being amazed, he’s heard how Luna can enter dreams of others, but he’s never experienced or knew of the wonders till now. “Okay, so now that I’m here, where should I….wha….” He was about to figure out where he needed to go next, but yelped in what Golden Heart witnessed.

Suddenly, as if appearing from the mist by magic, were ponies that Golden Heart knew; the Mane Six, Ben Mare, Nyx, Spike, Phobos, and then around them was…another one like himself. Just what was the meaning of this, who or what were these ponies to exist in this Dream World.

“The Mane Six; Ben; Nyx, Spike, Phobos and even….myself,” Golden Heart finally gather himself together in seeing what was before him, despite it being almost impossible to believe. “Okay, gotta remember, I’m in a dream world, so…these must be dream versions from Pinkamena’s mind. Guess the best way to figure out the situation is to ask the residence of this place.” This logic was the most likely of making sense, these guys were dream versions from Pinkamena, and so maybe they can help a visitor out. “Hey, can you guys help me out?” Golden Heart asked off this question to the dream versions of those here.

“What is your objective?” Twilight asked off with an emotional sounding voice with a puzzling question.

“My objective,” Golden Heart repeated this off surprised that Twilight ask this, but shrug it off to answer it. “I guess, to help Pinkamena out.” The stallion reported in what his answer would be here.

“Why do you go to such extent?” Rarity also spoke like she was not acting like herself.

“Seriously; isn’t saving a life important to some pony that cares?” Golden Heart raised an eyebrow in hearing this like it was silly to even ask.

“Why would you risk your life for others?” Fluttershy spoke to issue something that was not shyness, but not being bold, just…empty.

“Because I can’t abandon a pony who’s suffering,” Golden Heart spoke forth his answer for such a question about raking his life.

“How can you willingly accept such reality?” Pinkie Pie asked off with a strange claim that was so…UN-Pinkie Pie.

“That’s weird coming from you Pinkie Pie, but never the less. It’s cause I choose to do it for one who needs my help.” Golden Heart replied awkwardly to the question as best he could do.

“Where do your loyalties lie?” Rainbow Dash asked with a dry blank expression of the matter.

“Really, isn’t it clear? It lies with my friends, the ponies I care for.” Golden Heart stated in what & where his loyalties lie.

“Wha is it ye listen 'ta?” Applejack asked off in what this stallion bothers listening to, brain or heart.

“Um….I guessed my heart, then my brain at times.” Golden Heart shrug off in feeling he follows his heart more than what his brain tells him.

“Is all this really worth the effort?” Nyx asked off another question of such a worth through all this.

“Of course it is!” Golden Heart made a quick statement if following the heart was an effort to be worth much.

“Do you feel regret in what you’ve done in the past,” Spike asked off blankly if this guy feels regret all of a sudden.

“In the past, I…well…I guess there are some things I regret either doing or not doing.” Golden Heart shrug off in feeling that, there were things he did that sometimes, he questions on his decisions.

“Is there an inner Demon you wish to overcome?” Ben Mare asked in wondering what inner Demons this pony wanted to overcome.

“An inner Demon, well…..I’m not really sure.” Golden Heart raised an eyebrow in hearing this, but was more to being lost over such a question.

“Why fight against something inedible?” Phobos requested an answer to what this guy is even doing despite the odds.

“Why fight? I fight to protect those I care for and not want to risk losing them!” Golden Heart protest that to ask why he fights the inedible is cause if he doesn’t, then who will.

“Then what choice do you have in coming here?” All the dream version characters asked off in union of what maybe the final question.

“It’s to free my sister from whatever dark power is trying to corrupt her. I’ll find it and set her free!” Golden Heart made a stern face in explaining why he’s here, to save Pinkamena from whatever is keeping her in this coma state, no matter what obstacle gets in his way.

All these questions, all these riddles, and so far, Goldie wasn’t following any of it? But then that’s when the dream versions of those Pinkamena knows began to fade away from existence. And then a strange eerie sound and motion began to take place around the area.

“Oh boy, looks like I’m not out of the woods yet.” Golden Heart remarked off in seeing & sensing that something else is about to come at him at this time.

Soon the scenery began to change while the one in the middle, Golden Heart watches as things seem to be passing by at a fast rate. The events are seen in bubble sphere images of all the stuff Pinkamena Diane Pie has done around Equestria. Actions done from the Three Tribes invasion, Tirek Reborn from the Changelings aid, and to when Lorcan tried to invade with his army of Dragons & with the Brotherhood.

“Are these the events she remembered?” Golden Heart asked off in seeing so many memories of events that play out, most of which are hard to keep track of without a journal.

“Looks like it, Goldie boy.” Discord’s voice is heard off from somewhere….from the Eye of Discord that is.

“Discord,” Golden Heart yelped to look at the cam eye he got from Discord as he spoke to him. “You can speak through this thing?” He questioned off in never guessing the spirit of chaos could do or make something that would be more helpful than chaotic.

“Yes, but right now we’re all seeing this from what you’re seeing.” Discord’s voice stated that what Goldie is seeing, the others in the wake world can see it happening to. “Apparently, whatever is happening is more likely something triggering in your sister’s past life.” What was said had meaning, whatever is affecting the pony in a coma, it’s target is something from her past.

“Well that might be something, since she has a lot to remember.” Golden Heart issued from seeing so many memories of what Pinkamena has seen and done at this time.

“Then focus on where the main focus is.” Lorcan’s voice is heard from the eye in making his statement clear. “It might be that whatever darkness has come into contact with her is focusing on a certain area in which it’s slowly corrupting her.” That sentence made even Golden Heart shiver to not believe what he heard.

“Then the quicker I get to wherever is making things harm her, the faster we can wake her up?” Golden Heart responded in figuring out what he has to do.

“Affirmative,” Omega’s voice is heard in agreeing to such logic terms.

“You’ll know the darkness when it takes form, be wary friend.” Havis the Light Elf spoke froth in stating the fact while wishing his friend be safe.

“Got it; Over and out,” Golden Heart nods before singling off with his allies from the wake world.

Now the scene began to change when all of the memories, action or hang around moments had pass to when all seem quiet. Suddenly, an image shows a Pinkie Pie that was minding her own little mind of things, doing things like bouncing around all happy like.

“Wait a second, is that Pinkie Pie?” Golden Heart asked off shock to see the pink pony, but remembers, it’s a dream version. “Hugh, what memory is this one?” He asked in being curious to what event the dream version Pinkie Pie is doing that Pinkamena recalls.

“Wrong Goldie-locks; that is not our Pinkie Pie that you’re seeing, it’s most likely a different one…from an alternate world.” Discord’s voice is heard from his eye that Golden Heart kept around which surprised the stallion.

“And you know this how?” Golden Heart raised an eyebrow in wondering how Discord knew this was not their own Pinkie Pie.

“I have experience in such field of knowing there are other worlds as does Twilight when using that device to see different worlds & their orders.” Discord’s voice explained his own claims of knowing about a different world as well as alternative ones out there.

“Never mind the facts, pay close attention to what the other Pinkie Pie is up to.” Lorcan’s voice interrupts the two having a chat to remain focus on what’s about to take place here. “If what pass by were memories, then this must be a beginning. We need to see what happens.” Lorcan’s voice instructed in what needs to be done if they wanna learn something.

Listening to the suggestion, Golden Heart does as he’s told even if it’s from Lorcan. Soon he and those watching from the Eye of Discord witness an action that was seemingly a memory. In which case, this Pinkie Pie from another alternative world stubbles upon a little item off a monument from some old relic of a ruins spot.

“Oh, that looks interesting.” Pinkie Pie smiled off happily in seeing this intriguing little object. “Let’s have a looky see at what this is.” She happily stated in thinking it be worth a little look see.

Once Pinkie Pie bounce closer, she saw the item that appeared like a talisman plate of what was crafted like a white & black tiger ’S’ form.

“Ooooh, so authentic, so ancient, so…” As Pinkie Pie was describing this, she began to realize she had no idea what this was. “Um, I don’t know what else it is, but it may be worth inspecting.” She stated in thinking she needed to get up close, and possibly touch this to better understand what she’s stubble upon.

Soon this Pinkie Pie raised her left hoof to touch the relic plate and that’s when an unexpected glow appeared before it flash brightly at her.

“Woooohhh,” Pinkie Pie yelped from the over brightness that was happening from her spot.

Even Golden Heart & those watching this from the Eye of Discord saw what was happening.

“Okay, some pony wanna fill me in from what we’re seeing?” Golden Heart asked off in not sure where or what this old memory could possibly be telling them.

“Substance, unknown,” Omega’s voice responded to the eye cam in unknowing what this magic was.

“True, the item is differently structured; we need to get a better look.” Hivas the Light Elf’s voice responded that the group need to better figure things out by having a closer look.

Golden Heart nods to this as he moves closer to the scene and it won’t disrupt anything since it’s a memory.

“Ahhh…./Urrarrrruuarrghhh!” Pinkie Pie was making weird moan cries while sounding like, it was splitting into two different parts. And then suddenly, something from Pinkie Pie’s coat was pointing across from her, and looked like she was shedding, but it was the opposite; something was beginning to reconstruct it’s self near the pink pony. And it looked like it was taking the form of the real Pinkie Pie.

“What in Equestria?” Golden Heart yelped out loud in watching something very odd begin to take place here.

“So….we’re seeing how the action is playing.” Discord’s voice spoke in sounding almost amazed by what they are witnessing at this very moment.

“What action, Discord?” Golden Heart asked off in not following while still focus on the action displaying here.

“The item is something that splits things into two; the Yin-Yang Relic Disc.” Lorcan’s voice explained in sounding serious in what they are seeing was an item that could do such things.

While both the visitor & the Viewers continue to watch, something else began to stir. The new Pinkie Pie felt almost too surprise and then accidentally touched the relic object that glowed brightened.

“Wuaaaaughhh,” Both the real & clone mare screamed out as then another trigger event had occurred. A strange black mist was ripping off from the two ponies before the relic felt overloaded and then cause an implosive blast that knock the real Pinkie Pie, then the other pink pony and the two black smogs off which the later ones went a further distance and somehow…were merged.

“What was that?” Golden Heart slowly asked off from seeing this event was finally over, but could not believe it actually occurred; and what was that black thing?

“Focus, the scene is playing out.” Lorcan’s voice instructed through the Eye of Discord, much to the stallion sighing in knowing that the guy was right.

So then Golden Heart watches as those that were across by the furtherest apart by a mile distance lay there after that implosion force. It wasn’t long before the real Pinkie Pie began to shake her head which made her eyeballs rotate around in a goofy way, which no one can explain, it’s just Pinkie Pie.

“Woah, what a rush,” Pinkie Pie wobbled off to stand up from feeling like she went through some crazy ride contraption. “Am I all here?” She asked this off before giving herself a full checkup, Pinkie Pie style. “Check, check, check, check, and….double check! Yep, all of me is here!” She nods in seeing she’s together, not a hair undone, she’s perfectly perfect as any Pinkie Pie pony would be, and that’s saying something.

“Uuuagh….” There was a moan that sounded like it came from Pinkie Pie, but her lips never moved.

“Wait, did I just moan, sure sounded like me. But my lips didn’t move, so how could I moan like I’m unwell if my lips never moved unless I’m doing now, in which case I…” Pinkie Pie was randomly talking out in being confused in hearing one thing, but it was not from her, or was it. And this would have gone on to annoy even the dream viewers like Goldie & his watchers if something didn’t speed this up.

“Uuuagh…” Then the moan was heard again, and this time, Pinkie Pie turn to see another pony that was laid down and seem to be in need.

“Great Celestia; another pony is near!” Pinkie Pie yelped off in noticing this before rushing over to check up on the pony that was in need. “Hay, are you okay?” Pinkie Pie asked off in kneeling down to help the poor pony that was in need up.

When Pinkie Pie took a good look at this new pony, she found out a few things. She was an Earth pony Mare who is similar as Pinkie Pie, but her appearance is more closely to when Pinkie Pie loses her bright colorful mood & her amen & tail deflated from feeling sorrow. Her eyes are a little small from view, appears like she has sharp teeth, and she has that creepy look on her face. But pass all that stuff, and maybe a person wouldn’t feel like reacting to such an appearance, if they weren’t normal which in Pinkie Pie’s case, was just strange. And Pinkie Pie saw this pony lookalike of her with a slight difference in need of aid.

“Woah; did you know you look like me?” Pinkie Pie yelped in seeing this pony looks extremely like her.

“I…look like you?” The new Pinkie Pie responded in feeling herself regain her focus as she looked to the friend that was helping her.

“Yeppers, just with a tiny difference,” Pinkie Pie nods off to say while making a clear statement of what makes the two ponies different. “Lucky thing I have a mirror with me, just to show some ponies that can’t see what I see.” She issued off from using a moment to pull out a mirror from nowhere.

Then Pinkie Pie showed the new pony her reflection and it was the first time the pink pony saw…what she look like, especially the face that seem creepy.

“Is that….who I look like?” The other Pinkie Pie asked off shock to study her face to tell the difference from her and the Pinkie Pie before her. “I…you and me look nothing alike.” She spoke in seeing that they are nothing alike, they look completely different even if they have the same Cutie Mark.

“Well of course silly, I mean, if we look the same, ponies couldn’t tell us apart!” Pinkie Pie instead smiled to make a positive response to such an issue. “I’m unique and you’re unique.” She pointed to her new friend in how things can go between them being who they are.

“You think I’m….unique? Despite me looking like….this?” The new Pinkie Pie asked off in shocking surprise to look at this situation, and felt…a strange feeling of kindness.

“Well come on frowny-mic-frowny; don’t let a little gray ruin your day.” Pinkie Pie leans closer to smile in wanting to cheer this new pony up from feeling like everything was a down side. “I know when I feel sad, it makes me lose my color & mood, but when I feel happy, I’m bright & cheery!” She bounce sup to happily issue in wanting them to be happy rather than feeling sad. “Oh, that reminds me! My name’s Pinkie Pie! What’s yours?” Pinkie Pie introduced herself and was awaiting who her new lookalike friend is.

“My name….um…I’m not sure.” The new Pinkie Pie slowly was taking a moment to process this, however…. “What should I be? If I’m you,” She can’t call herself Pinkie Pie if there already exist one, so who is she…really?

“Hugh. Well gee, I’m not sure.” Pinkie Pie responded off in hearing this and it suddenly came to her attention. “Last thing I knew, I touch that object and then I think you came out.” Pinkie stated to rub her noggin in recalling how she and the new pony came about after touching the weird object on that monument spot.

“I…remember that.” The new Pinkie Pie spoke in recalling how she was created during the sudden moment of it all. “I think I was…apart of you, and then from your mind I was taken and…given a body.” The new pony feels like she was a part of the regional Pinkie Pie but is now free & now her own mare.

“Well then gee, I guess this makes it your birthday!” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say before she did a double look at what she said, “HUUUUAGH! I have to prepare to throw you a party!” She gasped out in realizing what a major deal this is, she needs to prepare a party.

“A party…for me,” The new Pinkie Pie responded of in almost being sick to hear something like this, a pony would give her a party?

“Yes!” Pinkie Pie nods with a smile in being more than willing to make that happen.

“Thank you…but….maybe I shouldn’t.” The new Pinkie slowly spoke in deciding that…maybe she shouldn’t be given a party.

“Awwww, why not,” Pinkie Pie frowns in hearing some pony doesn’t wanna have a party, who wouldn’t have one is just silly to her.

“I see myself, and can tell…” The new Pinkie Pie spoke from looking at her reflection in the mirror, and can see…she isn’t normal; she’s not even close to looking like the real Pinkie Pie. “I scare away ponies before I can even speak with them. I feel like I’m a clone of you, but I feel more of a fail one that doesn’t even fit in right.” She spoke in feeling like she’s nothing but a failed copycat that doesn’t look like Pinkie Pie, and one look at her appearance will make others see her as a…a…a scary freak show.

Pinkie Pie stood there in surprise, but not a happy one, this one felt….sorrow. This new deform pony feels like she won’t fit in, won’t be a part of the world, all cause she doesn’t look normal. But this pony is Pinkie Pie, and seeing that, the real Pinkie Pie knows that deep down, this pink pony has the same kinda feelings as she does about learning about the brighter side of the good things and not just focus on the bad.

“Well…how about a party for the two of us to celebrate, since we were together during this whole you coming into existence thing.” Pinkie Pie smiled to pat her friend on the back in making a suggestion that was more to help a shy pony overcome her doubts. 

“Really…so…you aren’t afraid of being seen with…me?” The New Pinkie Pie asked off in almost being surprised by what this mare was willing to do…and for her.

“Course not! And I’ll tell you what.” Pinkie Pie smiled off in mentioning another fact to help fix this pony having doubts about fitting in. “I’ll show you the good in all things & show you about helping those in need. And before any pony knows it, they’ll love to get to know you.” Pinkie felt that if she can help this pony know a few things, then she can slowly build up and learn to be better and by then…those that once feared her will come to look pass the appearance to see the inner part.

“Really…?” The new pink pony responded in almost feeling hopeful in those very words.

“I Pinkie Promise; Cross my Heart and Hope to Fly, Stick a Cupcake in my Eye!” Pinkie Pie made a vow of a promise to swear in keeping to what she’ll go for. “Trust me, in the days to come, I’ll show you the ropes, and it will be in as easy as pie.” As she stated that part out, something suddenly came to her. “What a second; Pinkie….Day….In…Pie….? I GOT IT!” She shouted with a bigger smile on her face in coming to new terms in something in what she said, “How would you like to be called; Pinkamena Diane Pie, Pinkamena for your first name.” She stated in what this new pony can be called, after all, she is like Pinkie Pie, but different, so a unique name is needed.

“Pinkamena Diane Pie…I like it.” The pink pony responded in slowly beginning to show a happy smile across her face. “That’s who’ll I will be, thank you….friend.” She smiled to feel something, hope & happiness, and to see that even if she was just some random part from the real Pinkie Pie’s noggin, she can live as her own pony.

And soon the two pink ponies began to leave while having a chat & getting to know another. Golden Heart & those that watched through the Eye of Discord saw what was the birth, name & first friend that Pinkamena can remember from her coming into existence. 

“So…that was the first happiness she ever felt after coming into the world.” Golden Heart spoke off in seeing the first beginning in when his sister of today came to be & made a friend, at least he’s happy to know about this.

“And it explains her appearance, no doubt.” Discord’s voice came in from stating something about Pinkamena’s appearance.

“Wait, what do you mean Discord?” Golden Heart yelped in hearing this, what was the spirit of chaos talking about now.

“She messed with the Yin-Yang Relic Disc; it hadn’t finished separating the two of them apart.” Discord’s voice explained the function of the relic of magic that was splitting two beings apart, but the disturbance seems to have thrown it off. “As a chaos being, I know these things. While the Pinkie Pie of this alternate world remains alright, Pinkamena was left with a different shade of gray of not getting the more positive parts from the Element of Laughter and the implosion cause a distortion to her appearance.” Discord finished his explanation over how such a matter could have resulted in Pinkamena’s condition they know of today.

“Is that all true? Omega, could it be it?” Golden Heart was asking the mechanical ally if what Discord said was true about Pinkamena’s form seem to be from an accident.

“Affirmative; this may explain way she appears as such.” Omega’s voice responded in agreement, such logic is the key here.

“But there may have been other effects than just that.” Havis the Light Elf also made a claim that there is more than just a form that made Pinkamena stand out more, there had to be other effects to.

“Like the dark mist that came from them both, tell us Golden Heart. Do you see it anywhere?” Lorcan’s voice responded to remind the group that what they saw happen, what was most mysterious was that strange black mist from both pink ponies that got separated.

Golden Heart looks around until he spotted something from a farther view that seems….glowing a black aura. That’s right; the two dark mists that came from both Pinkie Pies had been shot further away and somehow came into contact. But the dark mist slowly was taking form into a pony shape of some kind. And soon a new creature seem to be in the neighborhood as it made a creepy, but more evilly wicked smile in seeing the two Pinkie Pies leaving the scene.

“I see it! But what or…WHO…is it?” Golden Heart responded to the eye cam in seeing the shadowy figure hidden, but whose or why is it?

“Oh dear, it seems this may have been the last thing split from the two.” Discord’s voice spoke with worry in witnessing this event happening.

“Discord, what are you talking about?” Golden Heart snapped off in not following what was getting Discord to feel like something was up from this third thing that was split from both Pie members.

“When Pinkamena & Pinkie Pie touched that relic disc again, it split something else off of them, which was…their ‘evil’ side.” Discord’s voice explained with a high sense of feeling serious in what came out from both the ponies in touching the relic…their evil side.

“Evil; But Pinkie Pie doesn’t have an evil bone in her body!” Golden Heart yelped at the thought, to think there would be an evil Pinkie Pie in the world sounds…well, just plain crazy.

“You should know that such possibilities aren’t out of the calculations, Goldie.” Lorcan’s voice spoke from the eye cam in having something to say about the event that may have played out. “My guess is that the evil that Pinkie Pie had come out was done right. But the part from Pinkamena might have been different since she was already split and the cause from the implosion may have done something else if not ‘all’ of it came out.” This was an explanation about what went right and what went wrong and may possibly explain certain things later on when they come across them again.

“Alert; Scenery of the dream state is changing!” Omega’s voice spoke in giving an alert notice of what’s happening in Golden Heart’s area.

“Golden Heart, stay vigilant, looks like you’re going on another trip!” Havis the Light Elf’s voice spoke in forewarning his friend to be on the ready of what else to expect.

Soon the scenery began to change again to which everything began to become almost foggy while the creepy shadow that spy on the two Pinkie Pies continued to watch even before everything was vanishing away. Golden Heart had a funny feeling, and it was not a happy one, but of a cautious type. What was the evil that was split apart from both Pinkie Pies and what does it have to do with Pinkamena. Guess those are answers to be left solve later, right now…more memories are about to come up.

At the time, Golden Heart was altered able to witness a couple of scenes that took place with Pinkamena & Pinkie Pie’s time together & done a lot of things in the alternate world they were from. A scene shows that in this alternate world, Pinkie Pie decided to learn about swordsmanship and was teaching Pinkamena how to use it; As well as a few good fight stances when she is unarmed at any situation.

“Okay….didn’t knew that this Pinkie Pie knew how to handle a sword. Much less fight like a fighter instead of…well, her usual way.” Golden Heart raised a curious eye in seeing this display happen, who knew that this was the memory of where Pinkamena learn how to fight?

Soon the event scenes that were happening continue to pass by, showing Pinkie Pie gathering ponies around to meet Pinkamena. At first, they all were shocked, but Pinkie Pie said to not let one’s appearance be judge, but by their actions. And the citizens slowly began to give it a try, giving Pinkamena test after test, and she was slowly starting to fit in.

“Well, so far, things seem okay.” Golden Heart spoke off in seeing that the events played out so far, haven’t been as bad as he thought his sister had gone through.

Then another scene began to play out in where we see Pinkamena was with Pinkie Pie, still training in the ways of the sword. But there is a difference, while everything seems the same, the truth was…Pinkie Pie seem a little more older.

“Sensors indicate the Pinkie Pie of the present is in her 30s.” Omega’s voice issued off from the eye cam in what his sensors are telling him on the other side of the subject in question.

“What could this mean?” Hivas the Light Elf asked off in having a feeling that what’s wrong in one being older while the other…remains the same; unchanged.

Then more scenes began to move across, the passing of all other ponies that Pinkie Pie & Pinkamena knew are getting older. Even the Cutie Mark Crusaders have reached the adult age and have gone off to start a Cutie Mark Crusaders travel group service across Equestria. But as the years were passing, the Mane Six have lived their lives to the fullest, each one soon….passing on in the afterlife, even Twilight Sparkle who in this world didn’t become an Alicorn. And through all of it, Pinkie Pie looked about to be the only one left and even Pinkamena remain still unchanged.

“Oh no, the passing of time,” Golden Heart yelped off in almost knowing full well about what this must be telling him. “Everypony else is aging, all except for Pinkamena!” He issued in seeing all the ponies, the Mane Six of the alternate world have aged and many of their other friends have aged very much to become senior citizens.

“Such a chaotic play is not likely fit for an Earth Pony, more like an Alicorn perhaps.” Discord’s voice spoke through his eye cam in explaining the condition of the law of one who doesn’t age. “As a way, this may explain what other side effect Pinkamena had gotten or didn’t.” He spoke that if they think back to the Yin-Yang Relic Disc event that brought Pinkamena into existence, then what happened there could have caused this unexpected twist.

“To age with normal creatures; in short, she somehow accidentally obtained Semi-Immortality.” Lorcan’s voice spoke from the link in theorizing what this particular pony had come across, the ability to almost be immortal & never age. “While some could only wish to have such a gift, there will be a heavy burden to bear.” He issued that while the gift is rare for some that want it, there is always a down side to things.

Hearing that made Golden Heart worry, if Pinkamena does remain ageless & continues to live on like an Alicorn does, what would normal ponies do or behave in seeing such an action. Just then, a new scene began to play out in watch caught Golden Heart & those that saw through the Eye of Discord see…something saddening. Pinkie Pie was seen as old as Granny Smith of the Apple Family, she lie in her bed while Pinkamena was near her bedside with a sad frown. The latter was still the same young form as always, but her mind & expression spoke otherwise.

“Why so glum, my little pink buddy,” Old Pinkie Pie spoke in looking to the one who seems to be having trouble in her thoughts.

“I’m sad because I feel like everything I had…is slipping away.” Pinkamena spoke in feeling like she was beginning to become very sad now. “I learned that I am indeed not normal, not even normal like you…Pinkie Pie.” She spoke with almost sounding heartbroken in what will soon be taking place; the truth of her being different.

“Hehehe…cough-cough….” Old Pinkie Pie let off a laugh, but instead coughs a bit before catching her breath. “I was never normal, haaaaugh-haaaaahh….you know that, right?” She took a deep breath before expelling it to say that she was not seen as a normal pony, why would that be any different for Pinkamena.

“But it’s true, I may have your Pinkie Sense and learn to fight & wield a sword like you, but I’ve come across ‘other’ talents.” Pinkamena spoke from feeling sorta blue about what she can do from Pinkie’s teachings, but she has other abilities different from hers. “Like I feel like any danger I was in, like when I helped save a colt from a landslide of rocks, I managed to come out unscratched, but…it only feared the citizens.” She explained in what should have been a terrible incident, there was none, but that still left a problem.

“Why…?” Old Pinkie Pie asked off in hearing this story at the moment.

“Cause that should have given me some bruises or cuts, yet all that happened was that I got dirty.” Pinkamena explained about what should be natural, but was unnatural that it surprised her the most. “That, and that some say I’m just a clone of you that can’t age and I’m…..cursed.” She sighs in feeling depress that now the citizens of a new generation, see her as not a normal pony, but more of an ageless Pinkie Pie clone thing.

“No, no…cough, no…you’re not.” Old Pinkie Pie coughs off to protest to her friend of saying such things, even if it’s half true. “You’re more unique than you think.” She pat her friend’s hoof to calm her down over such matters.

“But I did something strange.” Pinkamena spoke off in feeling that she performed something more strange than normal. “And then before I knew it, one gaze from me made a pony that badmouth me end up going…Brrrrr, like he felt a shiver of chill of cold and fear.” She explained about a move that made a pony feel the chill of fear, gave them the shivers; Most likely her ‘Brrrr’ ability.

“Hugh, well maybe that can be a move you make in your fights.” Old Pinkie Pie thought about it for a minute before giving advice about using such a move.

“How can you be so calm while you may leave me all alone,” Pinkamena protest in hearing this, her friend is about to leave the world of the living and she doesn’t feel bother by it at all. “All the things I’ve ever done, all because you showed me how….I’ll always remember it, but I’ll feel sad if you’re the last love one to leave me.” Pinkamena explained herself about remembering what Pinkie Pie here has taught and shown her, but if her friend caring friend leaves, she’ll have no one left, everyone else that knew her so well are all…gone.

“Heh, I’m truly sorry myself.” Pinkie Pie sighs a bit in understanding the issue of what’s happening here. “Cough-cough, but don’t threat, you’ll find some pony to who will watch over you as you watch over them.” As she was coughing, she smiled to say that there will still be someone to be with Pinkamena and both will watch the other’s back once this lookalike of her finds it.

“But who; Celestia & Luna are nice, sure, but it’ll be bad image for them if they have a freaky looking Pinkie Pie clone that hangs in the castle.” Pinkamena asked off in knowing she can’t be with the two Royal Sisters, they have their subjects to think about and avoid upset mobs from losing faith in the princesses just cause of her.

“Then you must search for your answers. Cough-cough….” Old Pinkie Pie was saying while also coughing a bit once again in making a statement. “I have….something for you.” She spoke to reach across her bed in wanting to give it to Pinkamena.

Soon Old Pinkie Pie pulled up a cloth wrapped up to give to Pinkamena to unwrap for her to hold something. A long gray-white sword with its handle in the form between two 'C' letters of left & right & an upper case 'T' form with an rod above the handle with a long two edge pointed centers from the bottom to the near top like two diamonds forge shape.” This left even the other Pinkie Pie looking pony to gasp in seeing what she was just handed, the sword that this alternate Pinkie Pie had specially forge and crafted as her weapon…is now in the young pony’s possession.

“This sword…it’s….yours.” Pinkamena was slowly speaking in realizing what Pinkie Pie was giving to her that left her shock to believe this.

“Not anymore, now…cough-cough…it’s yours to keep.” Old Pinkie Pie coughs a bit in issuing that at this moment, the special sword of hers belongs to this pony. “You must….Pinkie Promise me…that you must help keep those you care for safe, and to never feel sad, and that you will find a friend who would not be afraid of you.” She asked in wanting the pony beside her to make a promise that she’ll keep those she cares about safe, to never feel sadness and that she’ll f irony that won’t be afraid of Pinkamena’s appearance.

“But I…I…” Pinkamena was about to speak against the idea that seem impossible, but….

“Cough-cough, Aw-cough-cough…promise…” Old Pinkie Pie coughs a bit more in pleading on her sick dying bed, that this pony will keep the promise.

“I…I…” Pinkamena was almost having the hardest time saying no to the eyes of her friend, and soon…she gave in. “I will try to keep such an important Pinkie Promise.” Yep, this was a dying request, so she’ll horn for it because Pinkie Pie here wants it and so she must do it. “I just hope….that it’s not too big of a matter; that may seem impossible.” She replied in grasping the sword in her hooves, feeling that just finding some pony that will accept her no matter the difference seems like a hard case to follow, but she’ll have to try….she’ll have to.

“Hmm…nothing is impossible.” Old Pinkie Pie smiled to say that such doubt can be overcome. “I know the road maybe hard, it may be unbearable to you who has a long life to live, but remember….” As she was speaking, her eye lids began to feel heavy to her, but she tries to make the words. “Those you care for are those you can call true friends…..and a true family you can depend on.” As she spoke, Old Pinkie Pie grasps her hoof gently around Pinkamena to help encourage her some. “I know you’ll find them….just follow…..your…..heart.” Old Pinkie Pie was slowly speaking with her gentle voice as she got quieter & quieter in making this claim before…her eyes shut afterwards.

And then at that moment, all things suddenly went quiet, even the lit candles felt a sudden breeze from an open window. As Pinkamena stood there, holding the elderly Pinkie Pie’s hoof, she began to feel something…cold. She looked to see it was the hoof of the pony that Pinkamena was near, her furry coat started to dry, her flesh under the fur felt cold & dry without heat and there by the mare’s face….no air was breathed in. This could only mean one possible explanation and it’s not a pleasant one.

“Pinkie….Pie,” Pinkamena spoke in almost touching her friend’s hoof & head, hoping for a reaction, but…. “Huuuagh,” She gasps with tears building up in fearing the worst: Pinkie Pie’s life has…expired. “No….No….Don’t leave me yet! Please! PLEEEEAASE,” Pinkamena came over close to her last friend, as she soon hugs her in pleading she wasn’t dead. “Noooohooowwwughhh….” She lets out a wail that none around could hear Pinkamena’s cries for the loss of her once being; Pinkie Pie.

Now the scenery is filled with a sad atmosphere of hearing one’s tears when they cried over the bed of a soul that has left the plain of the living. Golden Heart watched and felt sadden in seeing the most saddest sight he never expected to find in Pinkamena, but then again…there were some things even ’she’ never told him of her past even in the story from before.

“Sniff….oh this even makes a spirit of chaos almost shed a tear.” Discord’s voice is heard from the Eye of Discord, which began to make real tears, go figure.

“This scene is enough to break my heart or processor unit’s hard drive, but logic remains unknown.” Omega’s voice spoke off in stating a fact, even if he was just a machine.

“I had no idea that the mistress who helped make me & my brethren had gone through a tragic past.” Havis the Light Elf’s voice responded in almost being completely caught off guard by a tragic event by the pony that was creating the Light Elf batch.

“It’s never easy losing someone you hold and love dear, I lived that way when my mother died by an accident before Spike was born.” Lorcan’s voice spoke from feeling sorrow in his tone, recalling the day he lost his mother was a tragic thing to him indeed .

“I had no idea that Pinkamena had felt such a heavy loss, now I see why she tries so hard to protect those she cares for….” Golden Heart spoke in feeling very much sadness in seeing what his little sister had suffered before they meant. “To avoid feeling that lost again of seeing a pony leave; breaks even a heart that she can’t see again from being ageless.” He never knew that Pinkamena wanted to make sure that she never felt lonely again and those that the mare has come to care for, she wants to make sure that they don’t die or she’ll feel terrible about it.

“Oh, well aren’t you the sentimental one. Letting tears fall so easily, and yet you haven’t seen it all yet.” A female voice spoke off in pretending to care about how those that saw the scene are reacting to it…in a teasing taunt sorta way.

Hearing that voice made Golden Heart yelp to his full attention, even those from the eye cam heard it and didn’t know where it came from. There was no one else around except Goldie & the scene of the two Pinkie Pies.

“Discord, please tell me that was you messing around with your eye cam thing?” Golden Heart asked off in feeling a strange sense of caution & concern in hoping that was Discord pulling his leg with that act, however…

“You jest; I was blowing my nose from the sad scene! I at least never criticize a sad creature’s misery.” Discord’s voice spoke off in protest of ever being so low to laugh at some hurt pony when they are down & feeling awful; besides, there’s no fun in that.

“Then who….” Golden Heart was about to ask the question, only to receive it unexpectedly.

“Heheheheh-hahahahah….” That same female voice is heard again, making a wickedly evil cackle sound that was like a specter haunting the area.

“Red-Alert; Unknown entity is near you!” Omega’s voice is heard in alerting Golden Heart of something was near the stallion.

“Where; where is it?” Havis’ voice asked that neither Goldie nor them from Discord’s Eye can tell where the specter is originating from.

“Golden Heart; Stay alert, you’re not alone there!” Lorcan’s voice orders that the stallion has to be on look out, looks like whatever they were seeking; it found them instead.

Golden Heart soon got into a defensive position at the moment. Whoever was speaking to him was not a friend and it didn’t sound like Pinkamena, but it sounded almost….nah, it couldn’t be. Could it?

“Oh, no need to get all antsy, pantsy. Let’s change the scene, shall we get….cooking?” The wickedly creepy female voice spoke off in making a sarcastic issue before making a strange pun remark of the situation.

Then without warning, what appeared all around were the very flames used by Grimmore; the Dark Inferno.

“WOOOOAH,” Golden Heart yelped from seeing the scene of black flames blinded him.

“Heehehehehehe-Hahahahaaaahhh,” The evil psycho cackle laughter is heard while the dark fire seem to swallow up the entire scene of the dream version event of Pinkamena & Golden Heart before they vanished.

Soon the entire scenery went into a black shade of nothingness from being surrounded by the dark flames. Nothing was remaining, everything seem to go into a pitch black state. And the only question left to ask during such a time is….what’s about to happen in the world of Pinkamena’s dream? Or is the dream about to enter the stage where it will be a Nightmare to others? That remains to be seen soon enough….

Discord, Omega, Harvis and Lorcan watched carefully in concern and worry. Before they could do anything, they knocked out of their conscious as they fell to the ground.

The attacker is a greenish Earth Pony who wore purple hooded-like Grim Reaper, and his Cutie Mark is Demonic Scythe and Teardrop of Blood, and some Dark Mystic Soldiers, they appeared and kept their eyes on the four knockout characters.

"It's clear, Amon." The monster known as Grimdark spoke.

Amon appeared in the black smoke. He approached Pinkamena and Golden Heart while smiling beneath his mask. He announces, "Time to finish this."

Amon raised his hoof up and touched on Pinkamena's head. Electrical static loudly and electrically-like lightning, zapped and surged through the body of Pinkamena before she shook off hard. Pinkamena electrocuted for the moment before she laids down.

Amon smiled as he removed his hoof off from Pinkamena's head, speaking, "It is done......."

Grimdark smirked evilly. Amon, Grimdark and the Dark Mystic Soldiers disappeared in the black smoke.

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.

Chapter 6: New Element of Harmony


Meanwhile, in the wake world itself. We find Golden Heart’s body in Omega’s arms before it comes to life with reaction of movement. Course Goldie slipped, hit the floor, and groans from the fall. As he focus his eyes again, Discord, Omega, Michael, Flare Tiger, Havis & Lorcan were around, and Pinkamena’s body was still in her bed.

“What…what happened?” Golden Heart asked while he looked at his surroundings, he’s back in the room he was in before his astral soul left his body to help wake up Pinkamena.

“You’re dreaming again, and you’re in your underpants.” Discord issued off in making a statement of a rhetorical issue.

“What? No I’m not.” Golden Heart looked to Discord with a raised eyebrow, knowing he’s awake and he’s not in his underpants.

Then Discord snapped his fingers then poof, what was around Goldie was him…in his underpants.

“Whaaaaah,” Golden Heart yelped to cover himself from those around him, “Discord!" He made a stern face in wanting the guy to undo this silly chaotic act.

“Hmph-hmph….sorry, couldn’t resist.” Discord covered his mouth to say before snapping his fingers, getting rid of the underpants around the Alicorn stallion.

“Uagh, much better,” Goldie sighs in feeling relief, and he thought living through a nightmare was bad. “So what happened?” He asked out in wondering what happened after he awakened here.

“You won my friend, the mistress’s health is returning to normal.” Havis the Light Elf explained what went off around here, as they saw Goldie in his battle with Phantom Psycho Pie, and from her vanquished state, Pinkamena is finally returning to her normal self.

“Scans show that all traces of both the dark fire essence she inhale is wiped clean and the other dark element seems to have been dismiss.” Omega explained the situation from what his scans could detect and they are of good results too.

“Oh yeah, you wouldn’t believe what happened.” Golden Heart nods in feeling that he’s got quite the story to tell these guys of what he’s been through.

“Try us. We saw the whole thing.” Lorcan stated from approaching Golden Heart from behind that caught him by surprise. “To think your sister had awakened in a moment to become an Element User, and of the Element of Age, it’s very rare?” He stated this while looking at the now recovering mare in her bed. “They say that those that have a part of controlling time can become powerful warriors. But I guess that lays around the one where Pinkamena is ageless and so the part of a time theme; age became her element.” The former Scarred Ruler has heard of the element of age that has time properties and uses, but it was a rare element said to be lost and it was a very powerful type if ever wielded.

“Hmmm…” Pinkamena’s voice was heard from a little moan from her sleeping state to move around.

“She’s waking up!” Golden Heart stated in seeing his sister is beginning to awaken after all this time.

“Waaaauhhhaaaugh, boy…what a nap; I had the craziest dream.” Pinkamena stood up halfway to let off a big yawn, she had some rest along with something she saw in a dream; the battle for her freedom.

“That was no dream sis.” Golden Heart spoke off with a smile before coming up to give his sister a hug. “That was real; you saved me when I tried to save you from that evil version of Pinkie Pie’s darkness.” He explained things in which the memory was slowly coming back to the mare.

“Wow, you’re right Goldie, I remember now.” Pinkamena responded in now remembering everything now of what happened to her after inhaling the dark fire from Grimmore’s two Iron Maidens to her crazy dream. “And it’s weird; I feel a strange new sensation.” She stated from getting out of bed, feeling her body like there’s a new ‘tingly’ sensation she never felt until now. “I feel like I was in the dream, that I’ve obtain my Element Form. And somehow, my body feels like I can transform to and from it anytime I need it.” She stated from feeling like she’s now in a state of being in complete control to change into her Element Form identity called; Aging as she would be address as while maintaining the form.

“Believe us, we saw you obtain it from the dream world & the wake world, your body glowed that eradicated the corruptive darkness before you reverted to your normal self,” Lorcan spoke to which Pinkamena saw the others while this guy told her of some surprising moment that happened to the mare while she was in her coma condition.

“Though normal is a highly strong word use of term.” Discord spoke off that with Pinkamena; she is not the most normal pony around for sure.

“Oh, you wanna that I should go in my Element Form now and deteriaote you.” Pinkamena narrow her eyes in feeling like another wise-crack Joe and she’ll show Discord how scary she can be.

“Easy there, I was kidding. Kidding, sheesh, lighten up!” Discord held up his hands to say that he was joking, and the mare shouldn’t have a cow. “But I’m glad my Eye of Discord helped in guiding Goldie along, or else, he be lost within your noggin.” He proclaimed to summon his eye came from out of nowhere, feeling proud of his little created work.

“We have learn much about your past, it sadden us in what traumas you went through.” Omega spoke in feeling some sadness about learning the terrible ordeals one pony went through from being ageless.

“I and the rest of my brethren that still lay asleep feel that we are deeply sorry for what you suffered through,” Havis nods in feeling a bit of grief in knowing the pony that wanted to make them, she suffered so much it was hard to handle.

“Ah, it’s fine, besides, if it didn’t happen, I wouldn’t be stuck with those that I’m happy to call friends. Even those of you that were former evil villains,” Pinkamena smiled off in making this statement that if not for the stuff she went through, she wouldn’t be here with those she’s now friends of today, and yes, even former baddies like Lorcan & Discord deserve some chance; just like her from some old events from the Cupcake & Pinkie’s Secret Dungeon, etc.

Hearing this touched many of those in the room to show little smiles off their faces. Guess if not for Pinkamena being here now, Omega & Havis wouldn’t be around, Lorcan could have finished off Goldie if not for her aid, and Discord, well, he’s okay, he just likes to play pranks for fun, but it was from his little eyeball that the rest watched to help Goldie to help her. But all in all, they are happy this pony is back, and more than ever before.

"The buck happened in there?!" Michael demands of what happened that made a sappy moment.

"You don't wanna know." Lorcan remarks to Michael, rolling his eyes a bit. 

“I’m proud of you of you Pinkamena.” Golden Heart smiles towards his sister for many reasons now. “I have full confidence that you’ll be a big help to us in the future, now that you’ve finally conquered your fear & have evolve pass your limit.” He issued to say in seeing that from what ordeal Pinkamena has overcome here, maybe the beginning of something new in her life.

“Aww, brother of mine, I couldn’t have done it without you.” Pinkamena smiled off in feeling a warm fuzzy feeling coming over her.

Soon another hug scene happened for the two brother & sister, as the scene goes dark, looks like everything will be right in the world of Equestria.

Or is it only the Beginning….

"Wait, wait, turns the dark back on. We still got some scenes and suggestions left." Pinkamena said, causing the dark to go back on, "Huh; Weird. When I felt the impact, I felt like my 4th wall ability got taken away...but now it's back."

"Perhaps your Element Evolution restored it." Golden Heart said to his sister hopefully. He looked at her with worry as Pinkamena had headache with her hoof hold her head.

Pinkamena groaned, "That's one wicked experience! I'm glad the others' voices are able reach to help."

Golden Heart asked, "I did came to help you, but who sent these voices from?"

Omega heard Golden Heart's question with wonder. The robot asked, "I wonder if your question need go to Flare Tiger."

Pinkamena gasped, "Flare Tiger's here?!?"

Omega nodded at he led them to living room as they saw Flare Tiger talked to Havis as he nodded.

Flare Tiger smiled while saying, "Now you understand, how one used the Magic of the Light."

Havis spoke, "I see... So that's how it's working... Then you can craft the weapon with the light?"

Flare Tiger nodded while continuing, "Eeyup! Mah family was proud of it! Mah father was a blacksmith! Oh, here they are!"

They noticed Omega, Pinkamena, and Golden Heart walked over to them as Pinkamena look shocked.

Pinkamena asked, "You're helping Havis? I don't understand...."

Flare Tiger laughed, "Ah had to, Ah noticed some lack of Havis's knowledge, so Ah had given Havis some points."

Golden Heart about asked but Flare Tiger held her hoof and smiled.

Flare Tiger chuckled, "Ah had hunched that ya want to know where these voices came from."

They nodded as Flare Tiger explained, "The rare gemstone, that came from mah homeland, it's called the Rainbow Prism. It's like the Elements of the Harmony, but only restored ya' hearth by support as it's filled of voices from ya friends and families, who thought of ya and helping ya by guide ya to right path."

Golden Heart nodded while asking, "Then where is it?"

Flare Tiger smiled as she answers, "Ah, that's where it's played, when Ah used it into Pinkamena's body, then it will transform into the magic which flow through Pinkamena's veins, which lead to her brain. It allows her to recover perfectly and able to do her solved problems by wiping her nightmares out of her mind, but her memories will stay there as they will be helping her as she will used them for fighting."

Pinkamena gasped, "Oh, that's how I recovered! And maybe that's how my fourth wall ability got returned!"

Flare Tiger smiled while answering, "Eeyup! By way, there's someone who worried about ya! Why not head out and meet them as let them know that you're healthy and able running again?"

The three nodded as they head out, leave behind Discord, Lorcan, Omega and Havis. They walked over to the park, as they saw the group of the friends who was there. Rainbow Dash saw them and walked over to them.

Rainbow Dash gasped, "Pinkamena's Okay!"

Megan sighed, "So, Flare Tiger was right after all; about this Rainbow Prism!"

Pinkamena asked, "You guys, you care for me too?"

Nyx smiled, "That's what friends are for!"

They nodded together as Pinkamena smiled with tears.

Pinkamena teary spoke, "Thank you, you guys! Thank you!"

Pinkamena jump as she hugged the whole part of the group but they didn't mind after all as they hugged back. 

“You know, what I went through, no pony could have managed, but in the end, there was something good that came out of it.” Pinkamena spoke forth this matter on looking at the brighter side of this issue of what she’s managed to overcome.

“Hugh? But you were almost a goner, what was good about going through what you endured?” Spike replied off confused, what was so good about almost losing a life or becoming evil.

“Well I learned more about myself than I ever would have if not for the experience. And with my memories of my friends & love ones,” Pinkamena happily explained the matter to which a lot of the others smiles to it. “That and I learn I’m an element user.” She makes a perky smile in stating another surprising fact just now.

“What?” Pinkie Pie yelps out surprise by the news as did everyone else…Pinkamena is an element user like Ben & the Mane Six?

“You think that’s surprising, it’s not even the Element of Laughter, it’s a new one.” Pinkamena points out in stating that it’s an element type that’s not of the original Pinkie Pie work.

“What?” Pinkie Pie yelps out again in finding another surprising fact of what they heard.

“Yep, and I also acquired my awakening to perform an Element Evolution to boot.” Pinkamena smiles off proudly in issuing another trait she earn that will blow everyone’s mind away.

“What?” Pinkie Pie again yelps in surprise to learn this shocking feat. “Okay, am I sensing deja vu here or what?” She cuts out her reaction stuff in feeling they did enough yelping to feel this was getting nowhere and that the pink pony might have a feeling that it was done before.

“Woah, hold on! Ye mean ya got an element an' a form?” Applejack held up her hooves in trying to follow this news that Pinkamena has an element now.

“Yeppers and I can control it to transform easily, watch!” Pinkamena nods with a smile before she gets herself ready to…impress the crowd.

Then suddenly, a flash of brightness blinded everyone for a moment’s time. And when it was fading, Pinkamena’s body glowed all over before her entire color & appearance change to show…the NEW mare.

"Element Evolution – Aging,” Pinkamena announced off from posing herself to even be hovering off the ground while a strong glow of her magic aura was wavering off her entire body for others to see.

“Wooooaaahhhh….” The others responded in being completely astounded by what they are seeing; a real Element Evolution transformation, and a new looking Pinkamena to boot. And the radiance of the magic glow almost feels like it’s similar to the Elements of Harmony’s Rainbow attack, but different somehow.

“That….is….so cool,” Rainbow Dash slowly spoke off in feeling that this was something that was way cooler than anything seen…thus far.

“Why, you look marvelous darling. I like the look.” Rarity spoke surprised to smile in seeing Pinkamena looks more lovely; the dear truly looks like a bud that has bloom into a beautiful flower.

“Yeah, you almost look like me more, but still different Pinkamena.” Pinkie Pie nods in looking super amazed to notice how wild this Element Form was, Pinkamena could almost look like her, but at the same time, was still different.

“Thanks, but you know…when one goes into such a form, they actually acquire a name for themselves. So while I’m in this form, I’m known as Aging.” Pinkamena spoke off while telling the gang that when any of them transform, they’ll be address as the Element name, like she’s now Aging while in the form.

“Aging; what kinda name is that?” Phobos asked off in remarking such a weird name.

“A cool name and a name where you might wanna watch out or have yourself before an old boney Dragon.” Aging leans down to almost begin to threaten the Moon Dragon to be careful in what he says…of she’ll age Phobos to be as old as the dinosaur bones.

“Eheheheh; Aging….good name,” Phobos chuckled sheepishly in seeing he doesn’t want that to happen.

“Does that mean, your element is…age?” Fluttershy shyly asked this question that was on her mind at the moment.

“Yeah, turn out the Element of Aging is a really rare form of element, in which it carries a second effect, time.” Golden Heart nods in stating this interesting fact of what Pinkamena has uncovered for herself. “Somehow, Pinkamena must have been blessed with it when she was born, and it’s been sleeping inside of her until she overcame a trial to awaken more than never aging & having a semi-immortality.” The stallion points out how now his sister overcame a challenge trial she needed to pass before awakening an inner power of what she was bless to be.

“This is incredible….so this is what an Element Evolution Form can look like.” Twilight spoke in focusing much of the details of Pinkamena’s form; Aging, it’s letting off a lot of magic, and yet there feels like she’s holding back a bit. “So this was what Princess Celestia told us we could gain many abilities one has to be powerful beings, and be nearly related to being like a Mystic Pony.” When Twilight & her family came back from the End of Equestria, she & her friends were told of the Element Evolution ability they were given through their elements, so they can do what Pinkamena has achieved. “It has such a warm feeling and my sense of your magic is….I can’t even describe it. It’s all so amazing that I like to study more about it.” She was very interested, if she and her friends in the Mane Six can achieve this, they’ll be as strong as their new friend here is.

“This is incredible! That must mean that you can even take on those tough mean Dark Mystics no problem now.” Nyx smiles in exclaiming this fact that with Pinkamena now as Aging, her Element Evolution Form will give her the strength to even take on those that carry the name Mystic, but mostly the bad ones.

"And you know what's weird? For a moment, I felt like my 4th wall ability got cut off, but thanks to my new form and maybe the Rainbow Prism, I got it back!" Pinkamena explains to her friends happily, much to their amazement.

At the moment, Chase was hiding behind a wall in observing the matter of what was happening. Imagine his surprise in seeing Pinkamena was alive & well despite what he heard had been achieved by the Dark Mystics; the pony was glowing & letting off a very strong source of element magic. A single sweat drop came down Chase’s forehead to narrow his eyes, the power he sense was an element and the form Pinkamena took….he didn’t believe it was possible, but there was no denying it. Also, the fact that her 4th wall ability got restored when Amon took it away was concerning.

“This does not bold well. I had thought Amon took care of the matter, but it seems there was an oversight.” Chase silently muttered this to himself in being a bear witness of Pinkamena’s Element Evolution. “To imagine this alternate world pony clone has become the user of an element in which its power was said to be very dangerous, especially to age magic to be weak no matter how strong it maybe. To see it’s resurface today is….surprising.” He knew what element the new pony that earned attention from everyone has shown, and it was a rare case too.

Chase watches as Aging perform her element magic to age a young sport into a tall oak tree, but it was rapidly aging to cripple. But then with another motion, Aging was undoing her effect that made the old oak tree return to its right age as a sport. This impressed everyone, but it made Chase study such power that many recall how dangerous the Element of Aging is if used wisely or recklessly.

“It questions my mind, that it could be a good off balance against the Element of Darkness. Unless it’s strong enough to still do some damage.” Chase responded in recalling that his element was supposed to be powerful, but Pinkamena’s was special in what it could do, so the question remain if his own was strong enough to get the job done before the aging ability makes the attack very weak. “Now it seems Pinkamena has just earned our most wanted attention, for that power is dangerous when used in battle, it may be even harder to obtain it than planning to bring Ben to the dark side.” He knew that the Dark Mystics wanted Ben’s Triforce Element, but now it may be harder with Pinkamena, especially since seeing the pink clone of Pinkie Pie is not likely to join the side of evil & with that new power…she may be harder to beat than what was done in the past.

Once Chase’s mind has been set, he leaves the scene by a corridor of darkness. And while that mysterious character was gone, Aging was chattering about her new feats of work, and showing off a version 2 of her Sword of Pinkie Pie that became enhanced with her Element Evolution form.

“I tell you guys, I feel that with this new form, plus the strength boost of my sword, and learning that I can summon my Horsefeather Armor when I need it most, makes me the best powerful player to help you guys out.” Aging finished her explanation of what she can do while magically putting away her sword and making her armor vanish off of her. She was tough with two gears and her experience in fighting, but now with her Element Form, she’ll be enhanced enough to really give enemies a pounding.

“Boy, dat’s really cool! Ye got de moves ta be about unbeatable!” Apple Bloom smiles off in stating this issue of how cool the Element Form pony before them is.

“That’s so cool; I wonder how Rainbow Dash would look in it!” Scootaloo exclaimed in wondering how cool Rainbow Dash be if she awoken her Element Evolution power.

“Or maybe Rarity, or Applejack, or the other Mane Six members,” Sweetie Belle spoke out in puzzling how the rest of the Mane Six would be if they also awakened such a new ability.

“Well I’ll tell you fillies this; someday, they’ll awaken their inner selves to gain their own Element Evolution Forms, after overcoming their trials like I did.” Aging issued some Fourth Wall Break statement in already knowing about a future to come, much to anyone’s confusion, but then again…this is a pink pony that’s taken much after Pinkie Pie after all.

“Does that mean daddy might as well, he has three elements after all?” Nyx asked in being curious if her father may even awaken a power just like the rest.

“Come to think of it; that brings up a good question.” Golden Heart held his chin to think, he recalls Shadow Dragon once wielded the Triforce Element, but he never obtain Element Evolution, probably because he was a Mystic Pony with another ability of transformation. “What’s your thoughts sis?” He looked to his sister; maybe the one who has awakened her Element Form can explain things better of such a feeling.

“Well, Twilight’s band might get theirs from facing that Superior’s group called the Apocalypse Ponies,” Aging explained the issue about the Mane Six’s six party members later acquiring their own forms against such an enemy force. “But I think Ben will have his awaken against a far more tougher trial when Grimmore & his strong forces begin a bigger move.” She spoke out from deep thinking of realizing a matter of when Ben Mare can awaken his own Element Evolution, since he holds Courage, Wisdom & Power that are all a part of the Triforce Element.

“Gee, I can hardly wait to see that.” Ben rolled his eyes in making sarcasm in learning he’ll awaken his own Element Form when he’s facing the hardest and greatest enemy threat of all times.

“Ah don’t threat Ben, you got three elements in you, so it only makes sense from my guess of you facing the toughest of the toughest challenge. And believe us, Grimmore’s name pops up higher than the Superior or Dark Curse.” Aging smiles in speaking a matter in which it could cheer Ben up to not feel like he won’t be any good, that’s not it at all. “But once you’ve unlocked it, you’ll probably be three times stronger, maybe stronger than what you all see me as. Right now, just take it slowly, you’re getting there. With each weapon you unlock.” She points out that when the time comes, Ben will awaken his great power to help them in the greatest of crisis; he’s slowly getting there at his own pace.

Hearing this did catch a lot of the others attention. Ben even smiled in being glad this pony lookalike of Pinkie Pie was being so enthusiastic to not worry. It really helps him out a lot.

“Boy, I sure wish we had something like that.” Spike looks down in feeling that the two baby Dragons can’t achieve such a power cause they aren’t element users.

“Eh, if we were ponies in another world, maybe,” Phobos shrugs off his shoulders in thinking in an alternate world, maybe they could gain an Element Evolution…the choice word is; maybe.

“Well you guys remember Lorcan’s Battle Form, maybe someday, you might awaken those.” Golden Heart spoke this about recalling what Lorcan used that gave him lots of power which began to cheer the dragons up a bit now. “For now sis, better revert to your old self I know.” He insisted in wanting his sister to return from being Aging to be Pinkamena.

“Okay Goldie!” Aging responded off to say in seeing it was time to return to her old self.

Soon Aging cease glowing to slowly revert back to being her old Pinkamena self again; Everyone watched in surprise, to think when one achieves that kinda power, they can go back & forth at will.

“Well 'dis has been some day.” Applejack nods off to say in what they’ve managed to come to seeing here.

“Indeed , we’ve witness something tragic, but marvelous in the mix.” Rarity nods in recalling the trouble that harm their friend, but also helped her become stronger.

“And we’re now much more accepting of Pinkamena, um, that is if you don’t mind our second guessing.” Fluttershy shyly spoke in what she was saying without being too mean of her words.

“No problem.” Pinkamena waved off this claim to her friends in not being bothered in the slightest.

“And my lookalike turns out to be an Element User.” Pinkie Pie nods with a big smile in seeing what they all learnt, Pinkamena is the Element Bearer of Aging.

“And with that wicked new form, makes me eager to achieve mine all the more!” Rainbow Dash proclaimed that after seeing that Element Evolution move be done, makes her and the other Mane Six feel like they can’t wait to awaken their own.

“I think we’re all gonna get our chances in the future girls.” Twilight replied with an assure smile that as long as they do their best, anything’s possible even with the Elements of Harmony not with them, they can gain the next best thing to protect their homes.

“For now, let’s be happy we’re all together.” Nyx nods with a big smile on her happy face to see that they are all together and happy as can be.

“Yeah,” The rest of the CMC cheered in agreeing to that one.

And with that, the scene begins to slowly close in to fade out with plenty of laughter and joy in the air. Pinkamena is all well, she’s overcome a troubling part of her past, and has learn she’s an Element User like the real Pinkie Pie & her friends, and acquired her Element Evolution Form to boot. Now the pink pony lookalike feels like with her new power, she’ll be better prepared to fight against villainest foes like Psycho Pie of the Apocalypse Ponies, or even members of the Dark Mystics like Psychopath Joke for example. Challenging those Pinkamena knows she now can fight against, maybe even against Shadow Dragon who overpowered her brother Golden Heart long ago. But the truly dangerous villains, like the Demon God of Tartarus, Grimmore, Pinkamena feels the time is not right, not until the Mane Six have gotten stronger to be ready for such a time, and they’ll need all the luck in the world to achieve that. For now, the scene goes dark to close this with some goodness that’s ended the matter here.

After things settle and after the story and such, Pinkamena looks at the readers and says, "Better beware foes and spies. I know where you are and if you mess with my friends, you will meet your end."

The gang was puzzled but Golden Heart says, "She sometimes acts a little like Pinkie but she knows what she is doing."

Flare Tiger chucked as the mare walked away slowly, she turned around the building and looked at the view of the readers and writer.

Flare Tiger smiled while saying, "JusSonic, would ya do the honor? Could ya write down the next story? It's called 'The Whole Herd Party'. Ah look forward to it and ah can't wait to see Rainbow Dash's reacted to mah whole of the herd! As for the readers, don't worry about me, ah may good at it but ah can ignored ya if ya could be resting for it! Remember, only four can do Benders; Pinkie Pie..."

Pinkie Pie poked in, "Hi Reader!"

Flare Tiger chuckled, "Pinkamena...."

Pinkamena poked in while saying, "Glad you care about me!"

Flare Tiger smiled while finishing up, "Nyx..."

Nyx poked in while squeaking, "Hi!"

Flare Tiger spoke, "And finally, mahself, however, we may be random but remember, we're the Benders, which is the fourth break wall ability users!"

They smiled at the view while saying, "Bye-Bye!"

---------------------

While everything seem to be fine after Pinkamena’s recovery, the scene focuses on something happening within that mare’s room. Just near the spot where the Light Elves are in containers, there was another room seen separated from the others. Omega was walking down the area in checking all the stats of how things are proceeding.

“All Light Elf subjects show normal readouts.” Omega spoke in scanning all the tank containers in seeing things alright, “Next task, checking on the other being.” It spoke in relying off what else it must do to perform its task.

Soon the mechanical pony robot was stomping it’s iron hooves into the other room. And as he was approaching, there lies a tank that was instead holding….a pony with a breather on it’s muzzle and wires seen connecting on the body which showed pulse readouts from a life-support device.

“Life signs seem steady and not in danger zone.” Omega spoke in checking the life-readout’s line, it was in a steady paste; good. “Subject Work: Crystal Repair, still in need of more medical time in recovery chamber.” He spoke before his optic eyes looked away from the health devices to stare at the prime subject itself.

We soon get a view of the pony that was inside the containment glass tank, and it was someone we all know, but he did not look evil or dark. It was a normal unicorn with a dark color fur & black mane & tail (not shadow like), and his Cutie Mark was of Red Crystals along with a normal unicorn horn. From clear view, the pony subject in the recovery tank was the evil tyrant king of the Crystal Empire: King Sombra. But at the same time, he looked different, even without his armor.

“Pony known as King Sombra, readouts of removal of evil unknown substance is near 63 percent.” Omega issued off in stating how far the recovery & removal of evil in this once evil pony that made the Crystal Empire vanish & was banished to the icy north. “Patient is in critical state after event in where he was apprehended to begin cleansing.” He issued off the matter of what has happened to Sombra and what Pinkamena’s group seems to be doing to him.

Unknown to Omega who had it’s back turn to further check the equipment’s functions, the patient in the tank, Sombra, was lightly struggling his eyes in the liquid before opening them. As noticed, the known evil unicorn’s eyes were not green as last seen during the Mane Six’s encounter with him in past events; they were red with black in the center.

“Where….am I; what is…this place?” Sombra spoke with not his mouth, but his train of thought in his mind. “What has…become of events?” He asked these things in his mind, trying to focus to recall anything that happened to him, what he did, why was he here, and anything else.

Then in a wide eye moment, we hear a loud heartbeat, which belong to Sombra. As we stare into his eyes, as flash images of memories play out, the return of memories showing him of what he recollected. The event where he was standing along with a Crystal mare beside him, the mare was Arctic Gem. Unknown to Sombra, Arctic Gem was the one who Twilight talked to about what became of the Crystal Empire…before it fell into an evil rule.

“Arctic…Gem….I remember you.” Sombra’s mind spoke from his sleepy drowsy eyes lowered in recalling a very special pony to him. “Tell me…where are you? What has happened to…the Crystal Empire?” As he was speaking his train of thoughts, he felt his eyes become heavy to close, but he force them open, but not long. “Hmmm….I feel tired…I’m low on strength. I can’t keep…myself awake.” He blinks a few times while trying to not lose his conscious after being awake, but takes a moment to realize his currency. “I suppose….I’m being healed. I’ll let my recovery continue….and learn of what has happened since…my tragic mistake. Uuagh…” Sombra spoke his last little bits of thoughts before beginning to feel woozy now and to let matters of himself to recover play out.

While Sombra closes his eyes again from still feeling weak, Omega was done with the last checks without noticing what happened.

“All systems remain intact, time I report this to mistress.” Omega responded out before packing up everything to stomp his way out of the room. But before Omega left, he turns around by the door to stare at a sleeping Sombra in the tank. “Subject known as Sombra, will soon begin to see things clearly once recovery is done and answers that await him.” As he spoke that last issue off, he then begins to turn away to leave from giving this little matter.

The scene is left showing Sombra’s state condition while we hear the metal stomps from Omega’s hooves. The scenery begins to go dark while in the center was the tank filled with healing liquid with Sombra floating, breathing through an air mask while wires are connected to measure his readouts. It wasn’t long before even that scene begins to fad away from view. What mysterious seem to be so important of this enemy being in hero territory and why he seem to act differently from whatever Pinkamena’s group is performing….are mysterious left to be answered another day.

------------------

The Superior and Dark Curse were talking when the Shadow Dragon arrives via appearing in the usual portal. The former smirks under his hood while speaking, "Ah....... The infamous Dark Apprentice of Dark Curse had return. Nice form you had, boy."

"Thank you, Demon God." Shadow Dragon said to the Superior with a nod.

"What is it?" Dark Curse asks, pondering what his apprentice has to report.

"Pinkamena had somehow managed to retrieve her Randomness and Breaking Fourth Wall Ability without the needs of Energy Restoration Spell."

Dark Curse and Superior both yell out in shock, "WHAT?!" That's impossible! Amon was supposed to keep that from happening!

"There's more....... Pinkamena found and retrieve the Element of Age." Shadow Dragon said. much to the two villains' further shock.

"The rarest element that allows the user to live for next thousand years," The Superior asks in shock and disbelief. That freak from another world has found an element?!

"That explains of how the random pony manage to live for more than thousand years, even she is not Mystic Pony, as well as why my Assassins Six couldn't find it during my Coup D'etat." Dark Curse said, getting a bit furious. "Excuse me for a moment; I need to punish someone..."

Dark Curse leaves the room for a moment. The Superior and Shadow Dragon ponder who will be punished for this failure.

------------------

Psychopath was laughing like mad leaving but something moves at blinding speed and slashes his arm as he cringes and strikes, missing. He looks around and shrugs and heads off but something was lightly flashing red in his arm as it digs in deeper not being seen.

Psychopath yelps as the red object blows up. The Dark Mystic Pony survived but is worse for wear.

--------------

Dark Curse, after punishing for Psychopath, came back, saying, "There, it's done."

"What needs to be done?" Shadow Dragon asks seriously, knowing that the victory that they wanted ended up being hollow to say the least.

Dark Curse calmed down as he speaks once more, "This is but a minor setback."

"Interesting........ I supposed your apprentice's Element of Darkness can withstand anything." The Superior said to Dark Curse in amusement.

"Of course......But....... Her Element of Age is hardly any effective against Grimmore when I had one, if he tried anything funny on me."

"Tsk; Tsk; Tsk; be careful of what you said, Dark Curse. Grimmore will kill you personally."

Dark Curse snorts as he answers, “Perhaps.......But for you....... You are too smart to get rid of me......."

"Not because of the deal, but your mind, strategy, experiments, research, armies and war machines are quite useful to us." The Superior said to Dark Curse calmly, assuring him that there's no betrayal as of yet. "I will use everything you had to win the war."

Dark Curse bowed while continuing, "Do as you please, Demon God, for I live to serve you since the beginning of the Dark Mystic Ponies formation....... My true goal: was to restore order and powers of both Equestria and Mystic under the three of us, if Grimmore tried not to get rid of me first."

"Don't worry about him. He will be surprised of your greatest plan. So what must be done with Pinkamena?"

"Pinkamena may have retrieved her Fourth Wall Breaking Ability and Randomness.... but it does not mean she has strong ability to know...... everything."

Shadow Dragon smirked while speaking, "I supposed that Pinkamena is at the same level as Pinkie?"

"Yes........" Dark Curse said evilly. Even if Pinkamena has gotten her ability back, doesn't matter anyway. She won't know everything, right?

"Well done....... But we had to be guard on everything." The Superior said, warning the Shadow Dragon to keep up on his guard at all times.

"Of course, we had....... There are some of ponies that had suspicions of Shadow Dragon. He must earn their trust before my plan begins."

"Good enough. While you at it, I need a favor....... Something involve with Xros Fusion."

Dark Curse asks the Superior about that subject in curiosity, "Do you wish me to experiment on those fools? Creating the Fusion and Evolution Serums?"

The Superior nods, adding, "Yes...... So deep in the future, our army will be filled with a powerful and strong fusion army, as well as Grimmore's."

"It will be done soon....... as Shadow Dragon earn the trusts of those ponies, as well as finding the shield's origin."

"Good enough."

"Master...... there is more." The Shadow Dragon said, bringing in some more reports. "I have...... an associate of mine. I've learn of how to find the keys. Based on his research, Rarity's Spool, Rainbow's Wonderbolt Badge and Pinkie's Rubber Chicken are the keys......"

"I'm not enjoying this." The Superior said, frowning at the report. What kind of these 'keys' are they, anyway? Looks like mere tools.

"Wait....... Perhaps there is more to these mere tools." Dark Curse said to his ally thoughtfully. Things are not always what they seem to be in the world of Equestria.

"I see........ Go on......."

"From what he had spoken, he claimed that each of original Elements of Harmony will come to the critical situation of their friendship tested between one and the others." Shadow Dragon said, continuing his report of what his associate had told him. "To make things interesting, he also found that each holder had the rainbow force on the subjects that involved their friendship, thus allowing their eyes to see clear of it. If they had managed to pass the 'test', they will gain their 'keys'."

"Interesting theory........ Well done." The Superior chuckles in amusement. "It appears that there is something special about the chest you had mentioned, Dark Curse. Perhaps that is a test that the last Tree of Harmony had given to those chosen holders. Keep your eyes on it and find out more about it. If that source proved to be powerful, perhaps that will be enough for me......."

"As you wish, my master," Dark Curse said then turns his attention to Shadow Dragon. "Shadow Dragon, proceed the mission with your 'associate'."

Shadow Dragon nodded, saying, "Yes, my lord."

The Portal closed down. The Superior spoke with a light chuckle, "Things had become more interesting than before. I'm starting enjoy this event lately, especially Twilight Sparkle."

"I suppose....... But why do you not need to recruit her since you had recruit Ms. Moon from another dimension." Dark Curse spoke to the Superior, getting puzzled.

"I did........ But her powers are too strong for me. But if I reveal my true power, that ruin our plans for the future. We...... cannot allow that to happen. Not yet....... until they learn the true power of ours....... one....... at the time......"

"I see...... Go easy on them....... Learn of more their abilities...... and powers........ If they had proven to be a threat, we left one choice: termination."

The Superior nodded his head as he gets up, saying, "Indeed . I must return to my home."

"Hoping to see your wife....... I supposed." Dark Curse said in amusement, making the Superior nod at this. "For a Demon God, you had feelings for that mare despite using her for your conquest of the two realms."

"Between you and me.......It is none of your concern. But yes, you are right. I too have feelings, because I am still a pony....... I cannot forget that good, yet tragic event......."

"Understand, my lord...... Let us have last drink of our Lao Meng Lone Soup first. Our victory will be secured..... For they know only little of us, but know nothing of our true power."

"Neither do they know the true terror and objectives of three organizations........" The Superior remarks sinisterly, agreeing with his associate.

Dark Curse and the Superior made the toast of Lao Meng Lone Soup before they drank it. The future is yet to come.

----------------------

For meanwhile, in a location unknown to any at this time, we see a hooded member of the Apocalypse Ponies doing some work in cooking up something. Course whatever it is, it’s bound to spell trouble, as the ingredients were….well, let’s just say they are more uniquely available, but just never bought in stores; body limb parts. Yuck! Whoever the member was, it was cooking up trouble for the moment, humming a little wicked tune that sounded freaky until…..

A sudden zap bolt invisible to the naked eye went across this character’s head that snapped to their attention.

“Hugh….it can’t be.” The hooded member responded in being surprised by what she just felt just a second ago.

“What is it?” Another voice was spoken out before an astral form of Tchang Zu, the Thunder Demon Lord is seen. As he resigns his soul in the vessel of the one called Psycho Pie.

“My other evil link that was supposedly connected to the ageless pony clone of Pinkie Pie; Pinkamena; I sense her link is…gone.” Psycho Pie issued off in mentioning that she had a connection to another her that existed inside of Pinkamena who resigns in Ponyville, but as of recent news, that evil is no more.

“And why is that of any of our concerns?” Tchang Zu asked off in not feeling this was of any concern to them, mostly him.

“Because the two of us were two different essences of the Pinkie Pie from our world before we each went our own directions. Just after the Yin-Yang Relic Disc split me off, but an interruption by Pinkamena made a part of me merge into her.” Psycho Pie explained about herself being an evil essence form another Pinkie Pie that was taken out and how she came to be from another world of different orders, etc. “The part of me that remain inside Pinkamena was supposed to turn her evil in time, but she is no longer around. She was completely eradicated, but I receive her link telling me of something.” She stated that just before her own evil half faded away, a message was sent to her by a telepathic link the two shared.

“And what would it be?” Tchang Zu raised an eyebrow in wondering what message another Psycho Pie from within a hero as a separate personality had to say before being dealt with.

“That Pinkamena Diane Pie has awakened a new power, she has become the Element of Age. That is what causes my other evil side to fall.” Psycho Pie issued off that somehow, Pinkamena had awaken a power that was beyond what she knew about and it eliminated the small essence of herself that resided in the pony to make evil.

“What! Another element; Like those accursed Mane Six & Ben Mare, along with another of the others!” Tchang Zu roared out in feeling his rage boiling as he has not forgotten his humiliation done to him by Twilight’s group during their trip into the End of Equestria.

“Yes, looks like I’ll have to tell the others of this news, they’ll be very surprise.” Psycho Pie stated in knowing full well, that the Superior and those she’s join, will need to be updated of this recent development. “But then again, what was lost was something that was only a mere percent of myself,” She issued off to say this while coming near a mirror by the sink area to look into it.

Soon at this time, the hood of the member gets moved off for any to see her TRUE appearance. She looks just like the same Psycho Pie from within Pinkamena, only this one was not Phantom Psycho Pie the Nightmare Demon Pony. No, this was the true & real as can be, Psycho Pie the Stabbing Psycho of the Apocalypse Ponies. To believe there within such an organization lies another Pinkie Pie lookalike from another world, only this one is more evil & more twisted to perform evil deeds without a conscious or care, as she is a mad version of the Pinkie Pie.

“For the REAL Psycho Pie is more deadly cruel and insane than a mere dark personality. And that’s not all.” Psycho Pie exclaimed about herself being far more worst and far more than just a part of her essence that was defeated by Pinkamena; the real deal, has more than one little trick to be more than meets the eye.

“Trssisizzhhzvmm….” Then from the use of the Thunder Demon’s magic, she conjured up something to appear in her hooves. They appear like four knives in each of her front hoof. The type from each knife has a cross shape and is designed to look like the top half of the Nobody logo. One of the spikes is elongated & acts as the blade of the knife, while the other three act as the grip. The base of the blade is cyan had a clear separation from the blade itself, which is bright yellow. The other three spikes are slightly paler shade of yellow & each has a cyan tip (again, a bit paler than the cyan in the blade). These two colors fade into each other, unlike the clear color separation present in the blade. These set of knives are called Foudre, which has lightning & thunder meanings between different areas of the meaning, a fitting element for the one that host the Thunder Demon. For the knives incorporate her power of over lightning to quickly attack & electrocute foes, and most times will throw her knives at her enemies. She is seen performing her moves by rapidly hitting her ingredients with diagonal slashes from the left hoof & end with a large spin. And for fun, jumped in the air to hit the ingredients she threw with an upward diagonal slash, followed by a downward swipe with both hooves, and ends the combo by striking them as she somersaults in mid-air & does a powerful downward slash. The ingredients were completely down from her senseless performance for her next batch of cupcakes.

“I happen to have a few new accessories to really get a party started that’s give them one heck of a shock. Hehehehehahahahah,” Psycho Pie made a very creepy expression of a wicked smile that if any that saw Pinkie Pie with such a face, they feel scared to see one crazy pony was in the room, and what she can do that won’t be pleasant at all from her maniacal laughter.

“Mmmmhhhmmmm, I like your sense of barbaric ludicrous, truly, I’ll look forward to what else your devious little mind can concoct.” Tchang Zu slowly smiled in liking the feeling of Psycho Pie’s attitude on the subject, with his powers and the power of Levitation from the Rooster Talisman she possesses, she’ll be a scary opponent that will be hard to escape from.

“Just you wait and see….when I make an appearance.” Psycho Pie reminded those around like she’s talking to someone else in the room with this reminder of what’s to come. “It’ll be a surprise to which I’ll enjoy their expressions…right when I have them stuff or made into a cupcake. Hehehehahahahah,” She then started to crack herself into a twisted laughter of a psycho that will enjoy the killing moment of her morsel prey.

Soon the scene goes dark with Tchang Zu snickering in feeling that this crazy pony will be amusing in what events will occur in the future. It looks to be very scary indeed .

---------------

Now the scene focuses entirely within Tartarus, as another event is suddenly going on at this time. By the palace where the Overlord King stays, Grimmore’s activities are little, but he entertains himself. Right now, from a fiery portal, he watches the battle within Pinkamena’s Dream World where the Phantom Psycho Pie that had infuse the dark fire portion of the Dark Inferno of his attack that was very little, she lost when the pony obtain her Element Evolution. The Dark Elf saw this display and suddenly cracked a very wickedly evil smile to scare the daylights out of anyone.

“How amusing; to think a pony clone of a portion of the original Element of Laughter could instead be given the Element of Age.” Grimmore spoke in watching the events that went off in being intrigue how an original user of one thing, the clone portion became the user of a different subject; very interesting indeed. “What an unexpected surprise that has been brought to my attention.” He spoke in being amused by seeing such a thing, now the Element of Age has found a user for the pony to master it’s abilities.

“And just how will we handle her?” Ji-Ga-No spoke from soaring into the room after also seeing the events from the firry portal. “If she has grown powerful, we should eliminate her from the picture.” The metallicix Dragon issued some thought of finishing the pony that’s become a new powerful creature in Equestria, just like the Mane Six & Ben Mare with their elements.

“No, let her enjoy herself.” Grimmore held up his left hand in issuing that they let the pony be alone. “Hmph-hmph, humph….after all, that’s what makes these games so interesting.” He chuckled with a hidden dark agenda up his sleeve in seeing things five to ten steps ahead of everyone else. “Players change and new surprises come around, I want to see where events will lead….before the final curtain falls.” He clasp his hands together to hold them by his chin, stating how all will come about to one event that draws nearer.

“Aaaahhhh, you are ever so sneaky, and to think. You said whatever happens to her, she’ll have to decide if she’ll die or survive.” Ji-Ga-No smiled with an evil devious one in seeing that his lord had foreseen things as always.

“For now, all things are according to my view of things.” Grimmore announced off in making the fiery portal window vanish from his sight.

“And how is your power, my mighty liege?” Ji-Ga-No asked in wanting to know, how much stronger is the power of the Dark Elf, since as of these passing days, weeks, a month event, they are growing so much, none know about it thanks to the spell Grimmore cast to prevent even the highest magic sensor type of beings from learning about it.

Grimmore was suddenly showing his magical aura, and soon everything almost began to shake; and he suddenly stops right there, for if he goes too deep in bringing up his ‘inner’ powers, it will shake the planet to almost split in two. But from that evil superior face he shows, this powerful Demon God is as always, remaining in complete dominance over all things.

“Feeling like once I’m about near the final stage, nothing, not even Mystic Ponies or Dark Ponies, even their weaponry design to finish me, will aid them in stopping me.” Grimmore smiled with a sinister expression in having all things be played into his hands, his power is growing, and no one, not even Mystic Tao, the Mystic Council or Dark Curse’s group will know. “My power is something they fear to try to accommodate to progress of solutions, but it’s all in vain.” He knows that try as those that fear him so to figure out ways to stop him, they won’t be able to get too far. “The power to kill a god is not something mortals have the power to do, not even Mystic Avatar could and he only imprisoned me.” The Dark Elf knows that even one as proud and respected by the Mystic Ponies, could not achieve something even after achieving beyond normal mortal standards.

“Then what shall be our next evil task?” Ji-Ga-No asked in liking to know, where the two villains shall go from here?

The Dark Elf soon waved off his right hand in a weird hand gesture, that suddenly made blacken rubble appear. They suddenly began to glow in darkness, as they were changed to goop before reshaping themselves to suddenly stand on their feet before the powerful Demon God king. And soon what was believed to be destroyed has again return, the two Iron Maidens Pinkamena believed to have ended have return from their destruction.

“I’ve decided to bring about some new material to my army. These two shall swear a purpose, loyalty without question.” Grimmore spoke in having a new use for the robotic creatures in a new service.

“Iron Metal The Invincible & Psycho Steel The Destructible?” Ji-Ga-No responded off those two iron headed creatures of metal before them. “Those two failed and were destroyed by your dark fire ability, why bring them back?” He asked in what good were those that were easily beaten.

“To do….this,” Grimmore slowly stated from raising his right hand up into the air and….

“Thrususziizvhmm….” Then from a blast of unparalleled power from his hand, it course through the two Iron Maidens. And then from the back of them, produce more numbers with each one looking different, strangely shaped, differently color, etc. Until finally, all that was in the room was filled with an army of Iron Maidens, and if Rainbow Dash was seeing this, she freak out more than Pinkie Pie could ever do.

“Create a battalion of Iron Maiden, each one different than the next.” Grimmore explained what he has done here to make something that shall prove to be a most…effective term use. “It will provide an interesting entertainment. Especially like the Dusk that served the Apocalypse Ponies, Mystic Magic won’t be effective on them, not even Dark Mystic Magic. Their alloy material is made from a new darken force so strong, that even those with such strength to nearly be my equal, will get a real workout from these.” The Dark Elf has made these iron creatures very tough to beat, it will give any hero a real workout to beat them.

“Hahahahaaahhh, brilliant,” Ji-Ga-No laughs barbarically in seeing this was something that would truly entertain them. “You’ve gone and made something to be more troubling for the heroes of Equestria to struggle to beat.” His lord has done it again; it will take the best the mortals of Equestria can do to take down tough iron metallic creatures like these.

“Indeed , now off with you all; Go and cause a little devastation to the poor souls within Tartarus.” Grimmore responds to Ji-Ga-No before giving his command to the new servants of his to perform a task.

“By the Law of Grimmore, we hear and obey your every command.” The Iron Maiden Brigade spoke in unionism in hearing the orders, as they shall obey them.

Soon the battalion of the Iron Maiden Brigade was soaring out by their mechanical wings & rocket boosters to fly off. They were out of the room while Ji-Ga-No smiled evilly in seeing his lord has now made more additions to the army. And what a treat this new batch will be to those that thought one or two Metal Iron wannabe creations were bad, then they’ll get a load of nearly hundreds to thousands of them.

“It won’t be long, soon….” Grimmore slowly spoke with his evil eyes focus on a bigger objective that none could see. “All events will lead to a center moment where the fate of this world, will be decided.” The Dark Elf knew that all events happening will slowly but surely lead to something so big, no one will see it coming until the time arrives. “Better get ready little ponies, if you’re not ready for the greatest challenge ahead….then the game will end too soon for you.” He spoke in clasping his heads together in gazing out from them hands near his face, as he can see all, even though Tartarus, that the players will need to be prepared for something that if they are not up to it….they’ll perish, “Gurwahahaha-Whahahaha-WHAHAHAHAAAHHH!” Soon outside the palace, we can hear the evil cackle laughter of the mighty Overlord King.

The scenery grows darker from here, as all evil sides seem to be up and about with new twist and moments about to occur. What’s to say will happen when next an event may happen that maybe more than meets the eye? That will have to be seen when the time comes forth from out of the shadow.
