The land of Equestria, ruled over by Princess Celestia under the sun, and Princess Luna under the moon. Equestria has endured much turmoil over the years, from reign of Nightmare Moon, the Insanity of Discord and the attempted takeover by the Queen of the Changelings. But through it all five very special ponies were there to save the day. To everyone who watched them and thanked them for their deeds, no pony would have thought to stop and wonder how the turmoil had affected them.
Twilight Sparkle was probably the only pony who was able to handle the chaos. She had always been one to set out to save the day and be the first to sniff out the wrong. Rainbow Dash reveled in the chance to save the day, always recklessly throwing herself into danger but always putting others safety above her own. Rarity is one you would never expect to handle trouble well, yet she was the most outspoken of the group, and if things were even the slightest bit out of place, all who knew better moved out of her way. Apple Jack, had her own share of problems handling the chaos of some events, but she possessed a strong heart and will, and would not be easily under bucked. Fluttershy surprisingly took the problems thrown her way in stride. Although she’s very easily startled, when the lives of her friends were threatened, she would unleash a fury like none Equestria had ever seen. Sadly, although the others had a way of being able to cope and recover from such chaos, one pony was not so lucky. Pinkie Pie, one of the most unusual ponies one could ever come to know. Pinkie had come from a very poor family and had had more instances of emotional and mental, overloads, than the average pony. What most ponies perceived as a blanket of happiness was in reality a veil she used to cover her true nature, one of a more dark and sinister nature.
Twilight Sparkle and her friend Spike, as well as three of the palace guard and Princess’s Celestia and Luna were making their way down to a special area of the dungeon, reserved for the more malicious of inmates. They made their way to the cell farthest to the end of the hall, the only cell not lined with bars, but instead especially enchanted glass that could not break from bucking or by use of magic. As the group lined in front of the glass, one of the guards used his horn to light the cell. As the room grew in light, the form of a pink pony came into view. Her hair was combed straight down and the fur upon her form had dimed to a less than savory dark pink shade. Pinkie Pie was the pony who inhabited the cell. Her cell possessed only a few items, a small bed of hay as well as latrine and one poster on the far side of the wall. The poster was clearly hoof-made, a drawing Pinkie had done. It was a picture of a cupcake with blood red icing and a cherry dripping with juice on the top. Pinkie was staring at it intently as the group of ponies moved in front of the glass.
“Pinkie Pie,” Celestia spoke, “We have come here to ta…”
“To talk to me about my actions of late is that right?” Pinkie Pie interrupted. Pinkie Pie began to giggle in a low, dark tone,
“Hehehe, Okie. Doki. Loki. But first I wish to ask a question of, Spiky Wiky.”
Twilight moved forward. “You leave spike alone Pinky, we aren’t going to play your games.”
Pinkie frowned, “Well then I bid you good day.”
Spike stepped out from behind Twilight. “It’s ok Twi, if it means we can find her, I can handle it.” He stepped up to the glass.
“What do you want Pinky?”
“Tell me Spiky, how long have you been in love with Rarity, hmm? Was it love at first site?
“Yes it was love at first site, and you know it…” Spike slammed the glass and yelled, “Where is she, what have you done to her!?”
Luna pulled spike back away from the glass. “Calm yourself, young dragon. We will get nowhere with rash actions.”
Pinkie grinned, “Hehehe, that’s right spiky, we don’t want to do anything rash, you wouldn’t want to cause Rarity any more harm than necessary would you?”
“Pinkie, that’s enough of this!” Twilight placed a hoof on the glass. “I don’t know what has happened to you Pinkie, but it’s time we put an end to these twisted game. Where are our friends? Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Jack, what did you do to them?”
“Oooooh, look how serious the purple one is getting? Tell me Sparkle, your brother, how is it you became so close? Were you perhaps more than just close relatives, perhaps incestual siblings?
Twilight gasped in disgust, “Your sick Pinkie, but I don’t have time for this, will you tell us what we need to know or not?”
“Hmmmm, maybe I will, and maybe I won’t. Of course if you were as smart as you claim to be, you could see that the answer has been right in front of you from the beginning.”
Celestia spoke up, “Pinkie, you keep telling us that, if that’s your way of telling us what we need to know then I am sorry to say we don’t understand. Please, you were such a good pony, we can start helping you but only after we have found the others.”
“Aaah, that word again, help. Help, help, help. It reminds me of a customer who came to my store just before my lovely little business was closed down forever…”
Spike once again started attacking the glass. “How dare you! Fluttershy was your friend. What you did to her is unforgivable, and if you did the same to Rarity then by Celestia I will burn you to a crisp!”
“Tsk, Tsk Spiky Wiky, I am just as upset about Fluttershy as you are, and here you are yelling at me.”
Luna puzzled, “You feel sorry for what you did to the one called Fluttershy?”
“Of course Luna dear, she left without letting me finish preparing my cupcakes. So rude that pony, and how I despise rude ponies.”
Twilight bucked the glass, “Enough, Princess, we are clearly not going to get any further with her. Let’s head back to the tower and continue going over the evidence. Perhaps she left some clues to where the others are.”
Pinkie began giggling uncontrollably, “Hehehehe, like I said Twilight, you already have what you need; you just need to know how to look.”
Twilight looked away. As the group began to leave the dungeon, Pinkie’s voice sang through the hall in an evil melodic tone.
“Fly, fly, flys, over the rainbow, Fall, fall, falls, down to the ground. Chop, chop, and chops, the stubborn bony, Stab, stab, stabs, the crying pony. Serve, serve, and serve, to the town. Just remember to smile, smile, smile, as you gobble her down.”
After another failed interrogation with Pinky, the Princess’s returned to their duties and ordered the royal guard to double their search for the missing ponies. Twilight had buried herself in her review of all the evidence gathered at the scene of Pinkies arrest and Fluttershy’s rescue.
“Grrr, it just doesn’t make any sense, Pinky has told us the same thing during each interrogation, that the information we need is right in front of us. I must have gone over every hoof-print, every blood sample, but nothing is telling me where the others are.”
“Well you have to try harder Twi, every moment that we don’t figure it out Rainbow, Apple Jack and Rarity might be in more danger!”
“I know Spike but it’s not that simple!” Twilight huffed, “I’m sorry I yelled spike, but I don’t know what to do. I still can scarcely believe that all this is even real.”
“I know, it seems like it was just yesterday we were all having a picnic with her, and now…”
“She’s completely changed. I should have seen the signs, the way she kept acting after we saved Princess Cadence; she had begun to seem distant. I just thought it was Pinky being, well, Pinky.”
Spike got up from his seat, “Twilight, I am going to go and visit Fluttershy in the hospital, see if she is doing any better.”
“Ok Spike, just be careful, you know how much she has been through. I’ll keep on running some tests.”
Fluttershy had not been the same since they had found her outside the border of Ponyville. When she was found she was almost unrecognizable. Her left wing had been completely torn off and she had deep cuts all over her body. Her mane had been cut and stained with blood and her right eye had been removed. Her throat had been sliced but luckily not enough that she couldn’t talk, but the worst thing was that parts of her flanks had been finely cut and according to the report, eaten off. It was thanks to Princess Luna that she was saved. She had been on her nightly flight when she had seen the red blood trail in the moonlight. When she had found her the only words she could distinguish were ‘Pinky Pie’. It was not long after that Luna’s royal guard had found Pinky in her home covered in blood and yellow tuffs of fur. The strange thing however was how she surrendered almost, politely. She had not resisted and had praised the quote “fine members of the Equestria Royal Police Force.” Soon after, it was discovered that Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Apple Jack had gone missing. Ever since then Spike and Twilight have been searching non-stop for them, sadly in vain. As spike entered Fluttershy’s room, he could not help but cringe. The bandages she was wrapped in were still staining from all the blood. Her eye was covered in a bandage and she had so many tubes providing water and transfused blood, as well as morphine drips to keep the pain down. As spike approached Fluttershy began to stir.
“Oh, *cough* hello Spike.” Fluttershy croaked.
A tear began to creep from spikes eye. “Oh god Fluttershy, I feel so terrible, I and Twilight have been trying to find the others but we can seem to find anything. Grrr, I promise you Pinky will pay for what she has done.”
“*cough* Spike, I have something to….*cough*”
“Something to, to tell me is that it?”
Fluttershy began to wine but managed to shake her head yes to spikes question.
“Spike…oww, I *cough*……know where… Rai*cough*…bo…”
Fluttershy began to convulse and cry out in pain. The morphine had started to wear off. Spike rushed for the button to give her another dose.
“Rai..Rainbow Dash, is that what you were about to say?”
Fluttershy was in too much pain to speak but managed to shake her head yes.
“Oh that’s wonderful, please, you have to tell me where, and what about the others?”
Fluttershy began to mouth something, unable to keep on speaking.
“P…I…N…K…I…S… …H…O…U…S…E……Oh Pinkies house? Fluttershy we checked her house there was nothing there, save what she did to you…”
Just then, the tone on Fluttershy’s heart monitor began to speed up.
“Oh no, Doctor!”
The doctor rushed in and began administering some stronger medication and soon after Fluttershy fell into a deep medically induced sleep. Spike was asked to leave shortly after and began walking towards Twilights house. What could she have meant by ‘Pinkies House’? Spike thought of telling Twilight what he was told, but something kept him from doing so. The rage began flowing through his tiny body. He had to save Rarity and the others, and every second they were missing was one more second they could never be found. Spike immediately turned around and rushed towards Pinkie’s shop, now closed since her arrest. The door was sealed with magic to prevent anyone from entering but Spike was not about to give up. Gathering all his strength, he took the deepest breath he could muster and bellowed a great stream of fire. The barrier was not as strong as he thought and his flame broke through without much effort. As Spike walked in the store, he began to cringe and heaving as if to vomit. The smell of blood was so strong, and the red dried liquid was still splattered all over the floor. As he ventured further and into the kitchen, the smell and sight was horrid. Blood was everywhere, on the walls and floor, on the cabinets and even on some spare utensils that were left lying around. Worst of all some of Fluttershy’s fur was still sprawled in random places. Spike began to feel hot, and his face contorted in anger. How could Pinkie have done such a thing to his friends? Spike continued to walk around, looking for something that could help him understand what Fluttershy had tried to tell him at the hospital. As he moved to leave the kitchen, Spike had to make a small leap to avoid stepping in a dried pool of blood. After landing he heard a strange sound. The floor had…echoed. Spike placed his hand on the floor, and began using his reptilian senses to hear the sound again. He knocked on the floor, there it was again. A secret basement! Spike wondered how the Police had missed it, upon closer inspection it was under a fancy carpet that had very little to almost no blood on it. Spike guessed that because it had no evidence on it, the guards thought there was no reason to move or inspect it. Spike removed the carpet and found the latch to open the door. Spike walked down the staircase, but as he reached the bottom, he immediately began to vomit. The smell of blood was unbearable and the sight he was looking upon was even more so. A metal table and a rack covered in blood and bits of torn flesh. Upon closer inspection Spike began to notice large amount of feathers and fur, scattered about the room. The table had small white chips of what he recognized as bone scattered about it. The rack had a full wing bone hanging from one of its many straps. As Spike moved closer, he found a small candle lying on a shelf. He blew a small stream of fire to light the candles and the room. Once the room was lit, spike turned and began screaming at the top of his lungs and tears streamed down his face. Sitting in the corner was Rainbow Dash, with bits of her skin sewn together like a puzzle, her wings were missing and her stomach had a large slice down the middle and on random parts of her body, bits of fluff and stuffing were jutting out. Pinky Pie had killed and turned Rainbow Dash into a taxidermy doll.
Twilight was seated a few feet away from a large glass wall staring intently at a smiling pony. After Spike had returned to Canterlot and told Twilight what he had found, the royal guard had begun gathering samples of what they could to bring to Twilight to analyze. After her tests were finished she found the connection between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to what Pinky Pie had hinted to. There were traces of cherry frosting mixed in the wounds that were inflicted revealing that both Dash and Fluttershy were tortured in a bake house other than Pinkie's store. Pinkie always made a point to keep her recipes a secret, now everyone knew why. Celestia had personally conducted raids on the bake houses that Pinkie was known to have used, sadly all had no traces of Apple Jack or Rarity. Spike sat beside Twilight in an angry silence. There were two guards inside Pinkies cell, strapping her to a special cart and placing a muzzle with a small barred opening for her to speak. In her cell her poster of the cupcake was missing as well as her hay bed.
“……………Why.”
“Oh come now Twilight, you should know that I can’t let anyone know what I put in my special sweets, thats way they call it a secret ingredient. Hehe *snort* Heehaahehehhahaha!”
“You’re cruel, she was your friend. What about…”
Pinkie cut Twilight off, “First, a question if I may.”
Spike burst out in anger, ran into the cell and gripped Pinkie's throat. “No, No more of your games. Now tell me where Apple jack and Rarity are…Now!”
Twilight rushed in and pulled Spike off of Pinkie but ever so reluctantly.
“Oh Spiky Wiky, tell me where did all that rage come from? Did Twilight give you lots of spankings when you did bad things? Perhaps you should have kept a shorter leash huh Twilight?”
“Stop it Pinkie, but Spike knows the right questions to ask, we found Rainbow and now we want to know where the others are. Are you going to tell me?”
“Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, how about we play a game! That will make it even more fun-tastic. So here is the first clue: What has four hooves and stinks of apples?”
Spike screamed out, “Shut up, we all know its Apple Jack but you don’t need to continue being cruel!”
“Oh, you no fun… Very well, yes it’s Apple Jack, but what you fail to realize is that it too late to save her, after all you can’t find what does not exist silly, hehehe.”
Twilight gasped, “What do you mean not exist?”
“Golly do I have to tell you everything? Well you did guess my riddle from before, ok I will tell you…She does not exist because you already got rid of her.”
Both Spike and Twilight gasped. No words had to be spoken to understand what she had meant. Knowing full well how she kept getting rid of her victims it was clear Apple Jack had been done away with and fed to her friends. Spike ran out of the cell and left Twilight with Pinky and the guards.
“You’re a cruel pony.”
“Cruel is a matter of perspective Twilight, you should know that by now.”
“Is it…Guards I am leaving, make sure she is taken care of as per procedure.”
“Yes Mam.”
As Twilight left the dungeon the guards proceeded to remove Pinkie's restraints and leave her to her cell, but as they removed the mouth muzzle, Pinkie Pie wined in pain.
“Guards, I know you have to leave an all, but can you at least give my nose a scratch, considering my position.”
The guards looked at each other in a strange fashion. One of them decided to oblige her request but the moment his hoof touched her nose, she bit down hard on his hoof, then with all of her strength burst free of her straight jacket and bucked one of the guards to death. The guard whom she bit was bleeding on the floor; She walked over to him with an eerie smile.
“Oki doki loki Mr. Guard, time to help me escape. I just need to borrow something, personal of yours.”
Pinkie reached fourth and griped his horn in her mouth and with one strong jerk, ripped his horn off the top of his head. The guard screamed in pain. Pinkie then used the horn like a wand and used its magic to electrocute the guard to his death.
“Hhmhmhmhmhm, now then I believe you were going to give me something of yours.”
She proceeded use the horn as a knife and started to slice away at the guard’s face.
“This will be my best party mask ever. It’s too bad I can’t make more for all my good friends.”
Pinkie Pie galloped in merriment out of the dungeon and out of the castle. It did not take long for the Royal Guard to find the mess Pinky had left. Princess Luna deployed her personal force and carriage and searched over the skies of Equestria to intercept Pinky but she was gone. As the Sun rose and Luna retired, Celestia prepared the funerals for the guards. After another day had passed Celestia and Luna addressed the Kingdom announcing the escape of Pinkie Pie. Warning the entire kingdom of how dangerous she was, they asked that if she was seen anywhere to report to the guards and to under no circumstance approach her. The race was on to find Pinkie before anymore innocent ponies were harmed.
Equestria was on high alert. Guards roamed the land through all hours of the day and night. The Wonderbolts were called to help patrol the skies, and the Buffalo tribe was called to scour the lands for Pinkie. After two days since her escape, there was still no trace of her. Twilight and Spike were in the Ponyville Library. Twilight paceing and going over the drawings and paintings that were confiscated from Pinkie in her cell. Spike was staring out the window with a picture of himself and all his friends in his hand.
“Spike, come look at this, I have been looking at these pictures that Pinkie kept on drawing and I think I have discovered something.”
“What is it Twi?”
“Look at the color pattern on all the cupcakes and pastries, notice anything?”
Spike examined the pictures, on all of the various sweets was red icing but the wrappings and edges all had the same shade of purple and patterns of white. Even the floral designs had a similar swirl pattern to them. Spike gasped.
“They all look like Rarities mane!!!”
“That’s what I thought and I began to fear the worst, but then it occurred to me, why just Rarities mane, why not the others. Even the questions she would always try to ask, they were directed towards you most of the time.”
“What are you thinking twilight?”
“Spike I don’t think Rarity is dead, she may very well still be alive. Don’t you see? She was obsessing over what she had not finished. She wanted to complete her…twisted plan.”
“Then Twi, we need to tell the princess, we need to get a search party to find Rarity!”
“It won’t do any good, we have been searching for days, and there is no trace of her let alone Rarity………Wait, I think I know one person we can ask, but it’s still a long shot.”
“Well we have to try!”
Spike and Twilight ventured into the Everfree Forest towards Zecora’s hut. It did not take long to find her. Zecora was in the middle of brewing a potion, after entering her hut, they explained the situation.
“So we were hoping that you might have some sort of potion or spell that would allow us to find a pony.”
“A dangerous pony she is in my eye, help you I will to find Pinkie Pie. A potion to seek I have for you, but time it will take to make the brew.”
Spike fell to his knees. “Please, do what you have to but we need the potion now.”
“Spike she will do what she can, but it’s not like she just has a potion like this lying around. We will save Rarity I promise.”
“An ingredient I must have for sure, a tuff of Pinkie's fur.”
Twilight left to go and get some of the hair from Pinkie's mane that was collected when she was arrested. During this time Zecora and spike helped to brew the Seeking Potion as quick as possible. After a few hours the potion was complete. It had quite a unique smell and look. The liquid was as pink as pinkies fur and smelled of candy and sweets almost as if it was a Pinkie Pie potion.
“So how will this help find Pinkie Pie?” Twilight asked.
“This potion you must drink, your eyes will see only pink. A trail of hoofs your like ink, this will lead to Pinkie Pie I would think.”
“Twilight, please let me be the one to drink it, I have to find Rarity.”
“Alright Spike, hurry and lets go save our friend.”
Spike took a small wooden cup and filled it with the potion, after which he took a drink. A sensation began to surge through spike. His eyes began to glow like the color of the potion and in his eyes he began to see pink spots on the ground in the shape of hoof prints.
“Twilight, its working I can see a path, I’m sure it will lead us to Pinkie!”
Zecora stepped forward. “Pinkie will surely give no charity; go now and save fair Rarity”
As soon as the words were spoken, even sooner they were on their way. With spike riding on Twilights back, he directed her on the path that he saw before him. Spike had sent a message to the Princess through the use of his fire breath. Not too long after were Princess Celestia and her Royal Guard following after Spike and Twilight. The path surprisingly was not that far from Ponyville. After a couple hours of riding through the forest around the town they discovered a large stone and the path that Spike had been seeing seem to disappear behind the large boulder.
“I don’t understand Twilight, I can see the path but it stops at the boulder…Gah I don’t understand!”
Celestia laid a wing on Spike. “Don’t fret, I think I know what to do, everyone stand back.”
The Princess approached the boulder and pressed her horn upon its face. With quick serge’s of magic, she shattered the boulder revealing a small hole in the face of the hill.
“There we go, Spike do you still see the path?”
“The potion must be wearing off because it’s fading but I can still see its moving inside the hole.”
“Very well, Guards I want you to wait out here and make sure that no one leaves unless they are with either me or Twilight and Spike.”
“Yes Mam”
“Alright let’s go.”
Twilight, Spike, and Celestia rode into the cave and found a thin path that led into an opening, like a large room that had clearly been dug out a quite a while ago. The smell of blood was light upon the air. Pinkie Pie was here and Rarity could not be far behind. Spike jumped off Twilights back.
“I can hear…crying…it sounds like…RARITY!”
“Wait Spike!”
Spike ran towards a tunnel in the back of the room. As the group continued down the tunnel spike tripped over a hidden wire. A large wall of sharpened candy canes jutted from the wall. Spike managed to get ahead in time but he was now cut off from Twilight and the Princess, both of whom had been caught in the face by the spikes.
“Are you two alright?”
“Don’t worry Spike, they just cut up our faces a little,” the princess moaned, “but our horns were injured as well so we will have to find another way to get to you”
“Spike you have to go and stop Pinkie and save Rarity.”
Spike ran off down the tunnel following the cries of Rarity. After a few minutes he made it into a small room that was much hotter than the previous halls, and the smell was a mixture of candy, sweets and blood.
“Well, Well, seems like Spiky Wiky managed to escape my trap. Did you like my tasty spin on the trap? I thought candy canes would be much more appealing to whoever decided to set it off, you know to make them more comfortable.”
“Rarity!”
Rarity was tied to a table in the middle of the room closest to the open oven, she was covered with cuts that stained her white fur and there were burn marks on random parts of her flank. The table was set on a track and if Spike was not careful she could be pushed into the blazing oven.
“Pinkie, let her go, I won’t let her get hurt.”
“Silly wittle dragon, she is already hurt, but don’t worry she won’t be hurting anymore soon enough. I have an Idea; I will let you be the first to try her when she is done.”
Spikes rage began to boil like a volcano, and he took a step forward slowly taking in a deep breath.
“Ah,ah,ah, not one more step Spike. Tell me spike how do you think this will play out? You think you will stop me and Rarity will fall in love with you? That she jumps on the chance to ride the big heroic dragon? Well I don’t think that’s going to happen and you know it, you cant even blow a flame that can cause any real harm, sure it will sting but I think you know it won’t stop me.”
Rarity then screamed pain, for Pinkie had placed a hoof on one of the injuries on her stomach. It was at that moment that Spikes rage reached it max. The moment he heard the scream of the one he loved he let out his breath. In his rage his normally green fire became a scorching hot red and white stream. Pinkie was caught by surprise and only barely managed to escape the flame.
“Woo, that was cool, but hot, yet cool? I don’t know, but that was still mean spike, you should really learn to say it not spray it.”
Pinkie pie ran over to Spike with a chef’s knife in her jaw. As she brought the knife down upon him, she was knocked back by a stream of magic. Princess Luna had arrived with her royal guard just in time to help Twilight and Celestia. She spoke out in the traditional Canterlot royal voice.
“CITIZEN PINKIE PIE, YOU HAVE COMMITED CRIMES AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS AND AGAINST EQUESTRIA. THEREFORE I HEREBY DECREE THAT YOU WILL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR YOUR CRIMES!”
At that moment, Luna cast a spell that surrounded Pinkie Pie in darkness, Screaming, Pinkie's body began to turn gray and become rigid like that of stone.
Twilight gasped, “It’s just like what we did with Discord!”
As the spell dissipated, Pinkie was left standing as a statue in the dim light of the cave. Spike immediately ran over to Rarity who had passed out from earlier.
Rarity lay in the Hospital bed in Ponyville. Spike sat by her side and had not left the Hospital since she had arrived. It had been one week since the events in the cave. Fluttershy had finally started to recover and was allowed to go home. She had been staying with Twilight just in case there were any late problems. Princess Luna and Celestia had returned to Canterlot and started the road to clean up the mess created by Pinkie Pie. The Statue of Pinkie was sealed away and made sure that she could not escape should anything happen to release the seal Luna had placed upon her. Rarity had begun to stir in her bed.
“Rarity, you’re awake!”
“Uuh…Spike, I’m so glad to see you.”
“Same here.”
“Spike, I want to thank you for going so far to rescue me. I am just so touched that you risked your life for me.” A tear began to roll down spikes face.
“Rarity, *sob* I don’t know what I would have done if she had…”
Spike laid his head on her bed and began to sob uncontrollably.
“Spike… I want you to know something. She was wrong about one important thing.”
“*sniff* about what?” Spike raised his head and was caught off guard by the lips of Rarity just on the corner of his lips.
“You did manage to win my heart, my little Spikey Wiky.”
