"At least we get some cover here..."

The human, Ditzy, and the raptor cautiously walk through the dense wood, looking to their left and right every so often, in case some other horror decided to attack them. How did they escape the bandits? You should probably ask the prehistoric lizard they were hitching a ride on. It had turned out that this raptor was very... odd... and was very cuddly. Either way, the olive green, red striped raptor had gotten the two out of trouble, and they were grateful enough not to question it. The raptor was actually the one who led the two to the forest.

Ditzy smiles as familiarity kicks in, "Hey, we're almost there!"

"Are you sure this time?" the skeptical human asks.

She nods furiously while she clings to his back, "Yup! This is the Everfree Forest! Although... we don't wanna stick around for too long. It's not exactly safe here."

The human did not question her this time, because nowhere seemed to be safe. What he does question, is the book. Ever since they crossed into the Everfree, it begn to grown very warm, and give off vast amounts of... some sort of energy. However, he knew that he could not leave it, no matter how much he despised the tome.

Plus, he knew that 'sensing energy' was probably the most useless indicator in the world.

Deep in the Everfree, something stirred. Something old, something that was sleeping for a long time. What had awoken the ancient thing, was the sweet scent of dark powers beyond comprehension. The scent had wafted across the slumbering nostrils, acting as the smelling salts for the purple creature. It rose from beneath the ancient earth, and pleaded, "MOOORE!!!"

"Can you explain this Nightmare Night shit to me again?" Lee asked as he nailed the Nightmare Night banner

Rainbow Dash yawned, and turned on the cloud she napped on, "Again? What's there to understand? Wear a costume, get free candy, get scared, or my favorite part..." RD grabbed her cloud, and silently flew behind Lee as he slightly adjusted the banner from his precarious position on the rooftop. As she readied a thunderous kick to the cloud, the situation reversed.

Lee suddenly snappedaround, his eyes rolled back into his head, "WHAT WAS THAT BITCH?!"

"AAH!" Dash overshot the kick and spiraled uncontrollably from the misplaced force.

Lee's eyes rolled back into place, "That's not what I meant, douche. I'm talkin' about the logic behind it. You have a whole festival celebrating the demonic-possession of one of your rulers, and she's just fine with it?"

Rainbow Dash quickly regained composure and shook off the dizziness, "No. Well, she likes it now. We already solved that problem a while back."

"Ah, so you communists DO know how to use logic, when you want to." Lee took hold of the ladder he used to get on the roof, and descended to the ground. Lee fished a roll of paper out of his pocket and checked the banner off of the task list.

It was the day before Nightmare Night. Lee was somewhat informed of its practices, and simply judged it as a rip off of Halloween, but of course, the ponies did not know what he was talking about. Instead of using the move, "Outrage", Lee decided to direct that energy to making some money off of the festivities. Nightmare Night still had a lot of setting up to do, since the whole Virat incident pretty much destroyed the Feast that was planned.

Lee had visited the Job Post the day after he corrupted the youth. There were requests for help with Nightmare Night pinned all over the board. Lee managed to take most of the requests by expressing his dominance. In other words, he roared and stomped around until everypony got scared and ran away.

Lee took a pile of job requests and compiled it all into one big list. He should have one-hundred bits by the end of it all. He had already cleaned the town square, help set up the booths, and decorated a majority of Ponyville, to name the major of the minor tasks. All that was left was to assist with the Haunted Houses, set the stages for the live performance, and a job that Lee was going to enjoy very much... (he was actually approached by Mayor Mare for this one)... be the Nightmare Night Maniac, a fictional maniac of sorts whose spooky story had been grossly perpetuated by the colts and fillies. In other words, Lee was paid to run around and scare the daylights out of foals.

However, that was going to be much later. Right now, Lee had to finish the other two jobs. Up next was the stage set up. Lee journeyed back towards the town square, throwing his arms and shoulders out as he went, which was his version of a pimp-walk.

When he reached his destination, he saw Pinkie Pie and a mare with an electric blue mane struggling with a set of giant speakers.

Lee fastened on a cape he stole from a nearby colt, held his arms forwards, and ran, yelling, "LEE THE LEGEND TO THE RESCUE!"

Lee dove onto the stage, sliding like a sleek penguin, "WEE I'M SUPER PENGUIN, BITCHES!" Lee rolled onto his feet, ripped off the cape, and ran forward to alleviate the two ponies.

He grabbed the speakers from the stage's end and pulled back with all his strength while muttering to himself, "Yes... GO, BIG, STRONG, WHITE MAN!"

With a final pull, he lifted the massive speakers onstage. He lifted Pinkie with both hands and shook her, screaming, "YEAAAAAH FOOTBALL!"

"Yay!" Pinkie cheered and followed with a hug. Lee purred, as if he were a frisky calico-kitten, and hugged her back.

He put her down, she bounced off, and he transformed into business mode. To be precise, he pulled a tie out of his pocket, and fastened it to his neck. This was Lee's business mode. "'Aight, I'm here for the stage and shit. What do you need, ho?"

The pony with the electric blue mane raised her goggles, revealing crimson eyes, "Hey! You must be the guy who accepted the post." She held out a hoof, "I'm Vinyl Scratch, AKA, DJ Pon3. I'm the resident disk jockey!"

Lee fist-bumped her fist, even though Lee knew it was meant to be shaken (the Lee does not shake hands, he bumps). Lee brightened up at the mention of DJing. "Oh, swag! I sorta know how to DJ and sh*t too."

Although Vinyl was still put off by the fist bump, she happily took the chance to nerd out with someone over music, "Really? How much do you know?"

Lee shrugged, "A little more than the basics. I was also known as Mr. Eel. I was gonna go with the Mysterious Eel, but that sounds like the name of a child molester. Anyways I don't have time to nerd-out, I got another job after this. What other shit do you need moved?"

Vinyl gestured towards a mass of equipment to the left of the stage. Forests of cables, some turntables, stands, mixers, more speakers, and a couple of controllers. "I'd levitate it up here, but my equipment is a bit too heavy for me to do that. Besides, magic can muck-up the equipment."

Lee shrugged, "It's all good, ho." Lee cabbage-patched to the DJ equipment to lift them onto the stage with his strong, Caucasian-muscles.

As Lee began to move the PA speakers, something scurried forth, the only thing that can frighten the Legend.

"OH SHIT, A SPIDER!!!"

The spider had an inky, purple body, covered with black markings. It was quite large, its leg span able to engulf Lee's hand. It hissed before scuttling away.

Vinyl found his display of fear laughable, "What's wrong, Lee? It's just a cute little spider."

Lee gave his deep, comical frown, utterly serious about the matter, "I don't f*ck with no spiders. I ain't even gonna lie!"

Vinyl snickered and looked away, "Sure, I don't either. Tell you what, just bring the equipment up here, and I'll do the rest?" Lee grumbled to himself, and inspected the equipment for anymore eight-legged horrors. Satisfied there weren't any to his apparent sight, Lee got to work.

After much heaving and war-cries, Lee had finished hauling the equipment onstage, and received the twenty bits for his time. He even helped arrange it all in their proper pieces despite Vinyl's offer to leave it, restoring the pride he had from the encounter before. Besides, Lee had more than enough time. It was only 3 o'clock after all.

As Lee waved goodbye to Vinyl, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. Two more spiders, the same purple kind as before, were weaving a web in the corner of the stage curtain. He shuddered to himself. He really hated spiders.

Lee was heading towards the next job on the list, the haunted house. In reality, it was just the decorated Schoolhouse. When Lee reached the Schoolhouse (using his dastardly pimp walk, of course), he noticed that there were a series of tents and booths being set up around it. Most of the help appeared to be students. Lee noted that this aspect of schools was quite similar to his world's. They both used free child/slave labor.

As Lee pimp-walked on the grounds, he announced his presence, "THE LEGEND IS HERE. Please, hold your applause."

Ms. Cheerilee was slave driving/directing Snips and Snails to set up an awning when she noticed Lee. She waved and trotted over to meet him, "Lee! You must have been who applied for the job."

"You know it, ho."

She sighed in relief, "Thank goodness! We really need your help with the heavy-lifting." she glanced at the colts who had gotten themselves tangled in the awning in the few seconds she had left, "...and with the complicated tasks that seem to require an expert. Can you help them, Lee?"

"On it. LEE TO THE—" Lee reached for the cape, but then he remembered he left it at the town square.

Instead, Lee cartwheeled to their side, yelling, "YOLO!"

Lee gripped the awning's cloth and sharply tugged, untangling Snips and Snails. However, as he freed the colts, he also freed the horrid thing which was his delirium trigger.

Lee staggered to his feet, clutching his quickening heart, "DAFUQ?! IS THAT ANOTHER MOTHERF*CKING SPIDER?!"

The purple arachnid only hissed and skittered away.

Snips seemed concerned, "Are you okay, Mr. Lee-the-Legend?"

"NO, I'M NEVER OKAY! MY LIFE SUC—yeah I'm fine. Just sick of all these damn spiders." After that hilareal (it's been too long since that's been used) outburst, Lee set himself to work. He quickly set the incredibly-simple-to-assemble-awning, and headed back to Ms. Cheerilee.

"What's next, Viewtiful Ho?"

Cheerilee pointed to a large crate of Nightmare Night decorations and other spooky things. "I need those taken inside the school and put in their appropriate places. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle should be able to tell you where to place them once you get it in there. I did give them charge of the decorations and scares after all!" Cheerilee leaned in for this next part, "Please make sure they didn't destroy the plumbing or something."

Lee agreed,"K love you byyyyeeeeee." although his manner of agreement left Cheerilee in confusion.

Lee wrapped his arms around the crate and lifted it, causing his White Devil blood to flow stronger as his muscles did their job. He took the crate to the school (somehow managing his pimp-walk at the same time).

Lee walked through the door and abruptly stopped.

He was in a maze. Someone had literally constructed a black maze inside the classroom.

Lee shrugged, figuring his legend-ness would carry him through to the end.

As he rounded the first turn, a screaming, rotten skeleton dropped from the ceiling, "AHH WHAT THE SHIT!"

Lee stumbled forwards, going through another turn.

This time, cutouts of spiders and vampire bats popped out of the walls. "DAMMIT, MORE SPIDERS!?!"

Lee swatted those aside with the crate, and kept running through the maze. More gags and scares popped out of the walls, which would have been much less scary, but at the speed they were appearing to Lee, they had left him completely dazed and disoriented. In other words, he screamed through the entire nightmare.

Lee tucked into a reckless charge through the maze, screaming and ignoring the spooks. Eventually, his foot hit a tripwire, sending an electric current through his well-built body of European descent.

At this point, Lee hit the ground and stayed there, waiting for the pain and his heart rate to go down. "What.... the... actual... f*ck..."

"Ah told you the voltage was too high, Sweetie Belle!" Applebloom yelled.

"Eh heh... that was actually my fault." Scootaloo apologized, "Dash told me that it really needed to shock the victims."

"I don't think she meant it like that!" Sweetie Belle squeaked.

"I'm.... I'm gonna get you bitch-ass hoes later..." with that, Lee drifted into sweet sleep.

Lee woke up in his bed, back at Golden Oaks Library. On his nightstand to the side was a stack of bits and an apology letter that Lee didn't bother to read. He groaned and got up in the bed. He glanced at the nearby alarm clock and froze. It was 7 o'clock. Nightmare Night was starting, and he had a very fun job to do.

He shot out of bed and sprang for his work-costume: ragged, janitorial overalls, a ski-mask, and a weed-whacker. He pulled the costume on and slid down the banister to see Twilight and Spike already in costume. Twilight had dyed her hair black, and slicked it back. She was wearing a voluminous, crimson cloak decorated with bats and skulls, all over an ornate, pinstriped suit decorated with the same macabre theme. Spike was wearing a suit of knight's armor, finished off with a miniature lance and shield.

"Lemme guess..." Lee stared at Twilight for a few seconds before raising a finger, "... a vampire?"

Twilight groaned, "NO! I'm a greeeaat, eeeevil, necromancer!" Twilight snorted, "How come everypony thinks I'm a vampire!"

Spike rolled his eyes, "Well, can you blame them? You're all dressed up like some Dracolta, for Celestia's sake!

"K whatever I gotta go." Lee slammed through the front door, and revved up his weed-whacker.

He brandished it towards a group of trick-or-treating foals, "IT'S NIGHTMARE NIGHT B*TCHES, YOU BETTER RUN!!!!" the foals (Pinkie Pie dressed as an egg included) ran off, screaming in fright.

Lee laughed in rapturous delight and ran through Ponyville's decorated night, screaming and swinging his weed-whacker of doom. Foals and full grown ponies alike, costumed as frightful and adorable things, ran in terror as Lee chased them through the never-again-peaceful-town.

Eventually, Lee got tired and decided to take a break. He removed his mask, turned off the weed-whacker and walked towards the town square to pick up some snacks. As he was walking, he admired his work with the decor. The jack-o-lanterns, the skeletons, the... spiderwebs he didn't remember hanging that littered the entire town. The town-ponies must have added it later.

Lee entered the square and rushed Applejack's stand. While ponies were bobbing for apples, Applejack was selling tarts, pies, cookies, cider, and other delectables. Applejack herself was wearing a navy-blue business suit and tie with a briefcase by her side.

Lee snapped his fingers as he understood her attire, "Oh, I get it, you're a Yuppie?"

Applejack adorably kicked her hooves in delight, "Exactly! Ah had a feeling you'd be one o' the only ones who'd get it. Anyway, how ya doin' Lee?"

"Pretty good, Breakfast," Lee responded, "I'll take that drank', and them cookies. How much?"

Apple jack waved the matter aside, "Aw, don't worry 'bout that Sugarcube. Think of it as payment for what Applebloom did to ya this mornin', and for the town decor! The spiderwebs ya' put up are a nice touch too."

Lee gobbled down the cookies and gulped down the cider before answering, "I didn't do that shit. I f*ckin' hate spiders."

"You mean my student wasn't the one responsible for these excellent spiders and webbing?"

Lee nearly roundhouse kicked his new mentor in the face when she descended behind him, but he managed to hold it down. Princess Luna was wearing Fluttershy's Dangerous Mission Outfit as a costume. Lee did not know what that was, but he still thought it was pretty damn cute.

He waved, "What up, Full-Moon Ass?" then to Luna's surprise, he gave her a hug... and purred like a frisky calico-kitten.

Lee let go to say, "And no, I was not responsible for these blasphemous abominations and DAMMIT, IS THAT ANOTHER F*CKING SPIDER?!?!"

AJ noticed the large, purple spider crawling onto her booth. She pulled a face, and swatted it off... but another took its place. Applejack and Lee looked around, and noticed that the spiders were EVERYWHERE.

Luna raised an eyebrow, "Are these spiders not part of the festivities? They are at every corner, and were purposefully placed there, were they not?"

"'EY LEE!" Lee recognized the scratchy voice as Vinyl Scratch.

She was calling from the stage, and was gesturing towards the enormous spiderweb that encompassed the entire stage, extending beyond to a couple surrounding buildings, "WHY THE HAY DID YOU PUT THIS STICKY WEB ALL OVER THE STAGE AND MY EQUIPMENT! TAKE IT DOWN!"

Lee threw his hands up in the air, "I DIDN'T DO THIS SHIT! AND WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU TO—"

"AAAAAAHH!" screamed several Ponyvilians.

"WHAT NOW?!"

Pinkie Pie jumped out of the apple-bobbing pool with a look of sheer fright, "THE SPIDERS ARE WRAPPING PONIES AND—" she could not say more, due to the fact that a stream of webbing had wrapped her from head to hoof, and pulled her into the giant web on the stage. Who was the culprit? Probably the pony-sized purple spiders lurking on the web.

Before anyone could react, the spiders wrapped a small group of trick-or-treaters, and dragged them into the web. Luna would not have anymore of this.

The Night rose into the air, energy coalescing and sparking around her floating form as she assumed the Royal Canterlot Voice, "I WILL NOT HAVE MY ADORING CITIZENS—" she was promptly quieted by a glob of web to the face, and the wings, and the horn.

She tried to summon forth magic, but the webbing seemed to absorb any energy she blasted out. Then she was quickly wrapped by every single one of the giant spiders, and hauled into the web.

Lee grabbed Applejack by the shoulders, "WE GOTTA GET THE F*CK OUTTA HERE YUPPIE-GURL!!!" before she could answer, Lee tucked Applejack under his arms, and began to carry her off.

Lee sprinted towards the road leading out of the square but was promptly blockaded by the largest and most disgusting of the spiders.

It had dropped from the sky and caused the ground to tremble under its weight. The spider was covered in elaborate black designs and spiny purple hairs. The two front legs bristled with the sharpest of the hairs and sharpened shell-pieces, so that they resembled two clawed fingers. The spider was massive, two times the size of Lee's Altima. Lee had nearly fainted when it spoke!

"AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

The situation was not looking good for Lee, he was surrounded by the large spiders, and the leader was now attempting to start a conversation with him. Lee could only respond in one way.

He looked to the sky and screamed, "DAMN I HATE YOU ANAL-MOTHERF*CKING
SPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDEEEEEEEERRRRRS!!!!!!!!!!!

TO BE CONTINUED.
