My Little Pony: The Dark Side of Rarity

Chapter 3

Real Friendship

Twilight, Neo and their friends were fighting Nightmare Rarity, an evil unicorn that used to be their friend until Hellraiser somehow transformed her into the dark evil unicorn she has now become. While they were fighting, Hellraiser was turning Ponyville into a labyrinth of pain and pleasure and very soon, he will do the same to the rest of Equestria.

Nightmare Rarity really believed that Twilight, Neo, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were her enemies and Hellraiser had given her fake memories that made her believe that they had bullied her and made her feel miserable, and by releasing the evil that had been inside her, Rarity had become Nightmare Rarity and she was now punishing them for what they had done to her, even though it was all a lie.

As they were fighting, Nightmare Rarity finally hit Twilight with her beam, Twilight felt like she was in serious pain, Nightmare Rarity finally laughed and said, "Now you shall feel the pain that you had caused me." Then Neo shot a fireball at Nightmare Rarity, wounding her and she fell to the ground. While she was down, Neo tried to talk some sense into her, but she just went on about how they were all mean to her and caused her so much pain. Neo said they never did anything like that to her, Nightmare Rarity even described the fake memories and Neo said none of that ever happened.

Then Neo touched Nightmare Rarity's head and she started to get memories of her when she was herself and they were best friends and all the times they have spent together. Nightmare Rarity was puzzled by the memories Neo was giving her, now she wasn't sure which memories were real and which ones were fake.

Then Hellraiser appeared behind her and said the memories she were seeing were lies and they really were her enemies. Believing he was telling the truth, Nightmare Rarity was about to shoot a beam at Neo, but Neo kept giving her more of the real memories, which held her back, but puzzled her more. Hellraiser kept saying that the real memories were lies and the memories he gave her were was still weak, but she went over to Nightmare Rarity and said whatever happened, she is still her friend and always will be. Nightmare Rarity struggled, still trying to figure out the real memories from the fake ones.

While she was distracted, Neo hugged Nightmare Rarity and said, "Rarity, I am your friend and I love you." Nightmare Rarity said, "Let go of me human, let me go." Neo kept hugging her and he said, "I love you Rarity, please come back to us." As he was hugging her, Neo's body glowed and Nightmare Rarity suddenly felt powerful energy of love and friendship soaring through her. She said, "What is this, I feel... I feel so wonderful." Then she received more memories of all the good times she's had with her friends and she knew then that they were all real.

Then Nightmare Rarity began to transform, her body turned white and her mane turned to indigo. Nightmare Rarity turned back into Rarity and she was finally back to her old sweet self. Then Neo's body stopped glowing and he let go of her, Rarity opened her eyes and said, "Thank you Neo, thank you for helping me remember what wonderful friends I have." Neo said, "You're welcome Rarity, you're my best friend and you always will be." And they both shared a hug and a moment of true friendship.

Now that Nightmare Rarity was gone, all of the ponies who had been in pain from her beams no longer felt any pain and they felt normal, even Twilight felt normal. Hellraiser was outraged, he shouted, "You annoying bastards, I'll take over Equestria with or without Nightmare Rarity, and none of you can stop me." Twilight smiled a confident smile and said, "Don't count on Hellraiser."

Then her friends activated their rainbow power, their bodies turned rainbow colored and their manes got longer. Then they shot a beam of light from them into Neo, with Neo's combined element of pure love with the rainbow power, Neo unleashed a rainbow colored beam of light onto Hellraiser, Hellraiser screamed and the beam of light sent him back to hell. As he was sent back to hell, he shouted that he would return to raise hell once again. When he was gone, all of the sharp chains around the Ponyville houses disappeared and Ponyville was back to normal again.

Feeling happy for their victory and grateful for each other, the ponies and Neo hugged Rarity, grateful that she was back, she apologized for what she had done to them and they forgave her and said she wasn't herself when she did it. And the friends shared a group hug, sharing a true moment of their friendship, knowing how lucky and blessed they are to have the most wonderful friends anypony could ask for.
