Description

Applebloom was confused and terrified in my Equestria dreamscape. It seemed that some how everypony in her family had become possessed by a Deception. link Just like she had been once, now it seemed that they had staged some kind of takeover and had even succeeded in slaying the Royal sisters. Now a mob of ponies was closing in on her from all sides. It made no sense to the little filly. Her big sister had destroyed the only one that made it out of the Kingdom of Shadows. Had she not? Suddenly Applebloom heard voice from out of the darkness. She recognized it but now it had a cruel, sadistic quality to it. It was Twilight Sparkle’s.

“Well, well the pony of the hour has finally graced us with her presence!”

Stepping into the light was a twisted nightmare. Twilight Sparkle, Celestia’s star student had been transformed into a ghoulish being. Her body was now gaunt and her limbs had become exaggerated in length. Gone was her gentle face, instead it had a hard chiseled look to it. The young mare’s mouth was a grotesque mass of jagged fangs. Her beautiful eyes were now coals that glowed in the darkness. Twilight stopped and smirked at the decapitated head of her former mentor. She then turned and walked toward Applebloom.

“Dear Princess Celestia. Today I learned that it is important to know which side is the winning side is in a fight.” She turned and looked back into Celestia’s lifeless eyes. “Apparently you couldn’t figure that one out!”

She was now in front of Applebloom. She looked down and leered at the little filly.

“Unfortunately they were incapable of becoming hosts so in the end we had to eliminate them. Still we thought they should be here for this celebration.”

Suddenly another pony sprang over the bonfires and into view. Ponyville’s former party master was now looked like some horrific undead jester. The pink pony eyes were now black pools of madness. Her lips had been flayed from her face so she now wore a permanent, murderous grin.

“They’re the life of the party even when they’re dead! ” She bounced over and stared at the two heads. “Wow Rarity you did a great job on them!”

“Thank you darling! It is important for everypony to look their best.”

Rarity strolled into view levitating a bloody sickle. Her beautiful white coat was now splattered with bloodstains. As she approached Applebloom the little filly realized what she had thought were shadows dancing from the firelight on her mane and tail instead were little screaming faces that flowed like water down them. Rarity stopped and admired the mutilated heads. She flashed a wicked grin at them and gently caressed the edge of the sickle against Luna’s lifeless throat.

“All they needed was a little trim. Just a bit off the top! That was all.”

Other ponies were closing in on Applebloom now a demonic Rainbow Dash hovered over the little filly. A psychotic Fluttershy with Angel Bunny impaled on her foul horn giggled manically at nothing particular.

The corrupted Twilight brought things to order.

“Now it is time for you to receive your reward Applebloom! After all it just wouldn’t be right to kill you now after everything you’ve done to help up. Right everypony!”

There was chorus approval from the mob that now circled the terrified filly. Twilight took a couple steps back and then began chanting slowly.

“Vorka ketal ickza vorka krinkak “ Over and over again she repeated the chant. Slowly the other ponies joined the chanting. As they did their shadows began snaking across the ground toward Applebloom. The little filly tried to keep shadow from touching one of the shadow tendrils but eventually she was snagged like a moth in spider’s web. Slowly the more tendrils started wrapping around her and envelope her. She screamed and struggled but relentlessly more and more tendrils grabbed hold of her.

“No! Stop it I don’t won’t to join ya! Let me go! I will never be one of ya again! Please! Stop it! Twilight just laughed at her plea.

“Silly filly! Once a host, forever a host! Whether today or tomorrow you will succumb to us again! You are like our mother in this world and you always take care of mother! You are the source from which more of us can be born. We need you. Mother.”

The other ponies now were whispering this over and over again. “You are like our mother in this world and you always take care of mother!”

Above this chorus a voice thundered out “Applebloom it is all a lie! Listen not to what this nightmare is telling you! It is but an illusion!”

The decapitated head of Luna was now very much alive and staring at the little filly. Instead of being horribly mutilated Luna mane flowed like water and her eyes glowed with power. Then slowly Luna’s body grew down from her neck. In a burst of white light Sweet Apple Acres and the nightmare ponies vanished.

Luna and Applebloom were now in field of daisies on a bright sunny afternoon. Luna was hugging the now sobbing filly to the barrel of her chest. Applebloom over and over asked the same thing.

“Why Luna? Why did feel it was necessary to hurt me like this? Why? What did I do to deserve this? I wish I had not trusted it that one time link
Luna closed her eyes and pressed her harder against her chest. Tears were now streaming down indigo blue muzzle. Through clenched teeth she replied.

“You are not a bad pony! The violence that has inflicted upon you cannot be rationalized by any sane being. It is cruelty in its purest form. I’m sorry Applebloom. I’m sorry this has happened to you. It’s my fault that has happened to you! Please forgive me for your suffering!” Luna was now crying to.”

Applebloom looked up at the Princess of the Night. “You’re sorry? Why? I know that ya and your sister couldn’t help me right away because of the dragons and all. I am just one pony. You and Celestia have an entire kingdom to protect ”

Luna looked down at her with eyes full of torment. With a quavering voice she spoke.

“No, no you don’t understand. If I, had not allowed myself to succumb to powers that made me, made me. “ She then spat out the words. “Nightmare Moon! Then Paynes Gray link would’ve have never felt it necessary to try and summon the Lord of Shadows. link Because of my reckless, foolish actions that Nightmare realm sprung into existence. Due to my negligence you were abducted and taken to that place and then tortured! link Can you ever forgive me?”

Applebloom was no longer crying she stared up at Princess who held sway over the very moon. She was looking for forgiveness from someone as little and as insignificant as her. She nodded her head.

“I forgive ya Luna, Princess of the Night and Co-ruler of Equestria. I believe that ya have learned ya lesson.”

Luna almost crushed the little filly with her hug.

“Thank you Applebloom.”

“However can we make certain your containment spell actually works next time ya try removing of these dang things?” Asked the little filly.

To be continued.

They all freak me out, but I'd say that Twilight, Pinkie, and Fluttershy are the worst (namely because Twi and Flutters are my favorite characters). This kinda reminds me of the IDW comic where the girls get turned into evil versions of themselves via a hot spring contaminated with dark magicks.
