Pinkamena's story comin' atcha.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't remember, what happened in September.

When everything is gone, when it's dark and I'm alone.

It's been so long since I could have remembered,

Where the hell is everypony?

I just wanna know the story of what happened right before, I became so alone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Pinkamena Diane Pie, you come down from there right now!" Pinkie looked down and saw her mom staring up at her furiously.

"But mom, it's perfectly safe up here, see?" Pinkie began jumping up and down to prove she wouldn't fall. The small pink filly had gotten her cutie mark about a month before and she was looking for better places to throw parties. This was why she was now up on this huge rock spire scanning the area for fun looking places.

"I didn't ask if you thought it was safe," her mom yelled, "I said get down here." "Now," she added viciously as it looked like Pinkie would complain. She loved her daughter very much but ever since that….party thing she had been completely out of control. She didn't even want to use her whole name anymore, just Pinkie.

The small party pony grabbed a nearby flat piece of rock and sat on it. "Pinkamena I said get down here."

"I am," she called back down, a grin beginning to split her face. She began edging the rock sheet near the edge of the spire.

"Pinkamena, no!" But it was too late; Pinkie was already rushing down the side at breakneck speeds. The rock began swerving side to side as it hit rough patches on the spire.

Pinkie held on for dear life as the rock continued accelerating, she heard a strange cracking noise in the air and it seemed to blur around her. Suddenly, a large rock seemed to shoot out in front of her. She smashed through it but it caused her to veer off to the side, completely leaving the rock spire.

Pinkie flew through the air, everything was moving too fast for her to make out. The air seemed to darken and stretch in front of her as she somehow continued gaining speed. She was now over a large, thickly wooded forest and, looking back, she couldn't even see where she started. She could barely make out her mom running faster than Pinkie had ever seen her go before, but she was still falling rapidly behind, already just a dot on the horizon

Pinkie felt herself sliding off the rock and knew if she hit the ground going this fast she would die. She dug her hooves in, though she could feel them starting to crack a little, and pulled herself a little more forward.

Pinkie saw a small lake in the distance, she knew she would have to try and come down there. The rock she was on began falling now, almost too fast to reach the lake. Pinkie's eyes darted around, terrified, trying to find a way to save herself. It was too difficult to see through the haze forming around her and she gave up. Lying back on the rock and praying to Celestia for help.

Just as she decided she was going to die, the haze in front of her cleared and Pinkie heard an enormous explosion behind her. The rock hit the water, bright colors trailing behind it. A jolt shot through Pinkie's body and she nearly fell off. The rock skipped several times, each jolt jarred Pinkie off a little more.

She fell off about halfway across the lake but the rock continued on. It smashed into a rock shelf on the far side of the lake and shattered, some pieces flew far enough to hit Pinkie.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still can't remember, what happened in September,

Back when everypony died, trails of blood are on my stride.

I just discovered, the ponies were defeated

by something very strong, is it something weird and wrong?

It just can't belong, but it came out of this world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pinkie woke up in complete darkness. She had floated to the edge of the lake and was lying in the shallows shivering, her legs felt like ice.

She stood up and looked around, still too shocked to fully grasp her situation. Pinkie busied herself gathering large pieces of fallen wood to make a crude shelter. As she huddled in her small wooden hut, Pinkie tried to remember which way she had come from so she could get home in the morning.

Pinkie awoke as the moon was at its highest. She looked around to see what had woken her up. She couldn't see anything so she stepped out of her shelter. She noticed that her tail was twitching and wouldn't quit. "Stupid tail," Pinkie said, beginning to cry, "I'm cold and lost and now I can't even sleep." A loud crashing noise startled Pinkie and she brought her head up from her hooves. A large rock, possibly displaced by her crash earlier, had fallen and crushed the sticks she was just under. Her tail stopped twitching.

Pinkie stared at the rock in amazement, 'if it hadn't been for my tail,' she thought, 'I would've crushed.'

"Consider it a gift," said a deep, yet obviously feminine voice from the shadows, "there can be more."

"Who are you?" Pinkie asked, she peered into the darkness but couldn't see anypony.

"I'll give you a hint, you were asking for my sister's help earlier."

"But I didn't ask anypony for help today," Pinkie said.

"Look up."

Pinkie looked and saw that the moon was now directly over her. A dark shadow seemed to move across its surface; the mare in the moon. Pinkie looked around, fearful, "a-are you N-N-N-Nightmare M-Moon?"

"Such a clever little pony." Pinkie felt a presence circle her. "Normally I wouldn't even be able to talk to you, but you're directly under the fullest moon of the year and you happen to be near my shrine."

"You have a s-shrine?" Pinkie asked, now shaking as she began feeling the night's chill again.

"Yes and if you're willing to do me a favor I can let you stay there. I can also promise that you'll be rescued and that you'll never need help if something like this happens again."

"Sounds like you want a really big favor," Pinkie said, not trusting the spirit talking to her. "Besides I thought you were supposed to be evil."

"Oh no, that's just my sister spreading hurtful lies. It's not even much of a favor really. I just can't do it since I'm stuck on the moon."

"Well what is it?"

"Have you ever made cupcakes?"

"Only a few times, but I'm not very good at it yet."

"Well that's just fine. I have a special ingredient I want you to use from now on. They'll be the best cupcakes you've ever tasted."

"What is it?"

"That's not important. Are you willing to make my special cupcakes and gather the secret ingredient if I help you?"

"I guess so." Pinkie said, beginning to wish she had stayed in her shelter when her tail woke her up. A bright flash lit up the area around her and Pinkie felt herself flying through the air once again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, finally it's finally done.

Stop him; he's trying to kill us all.

No, I'm going to save you; I'm going to save you all. Don't you try to stop me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pinkie awoke in a small building. There was a huge sculpture of a dark pony with bat wings. Her mouth was open in a snarl and she had enormous fangs. The building and the statue appeared to be made of something very hard and black. 'Obsidian' Pinkie thought.

"Wait, what's obsidian and how did I know that?" Pinkie asked aloud.

'I told you.'

"Who are you and why are you in my head?"

'I'm a fellow servant of the dark goddess.'

Pinkie remembered the deal she had made. 'I shouldn't have done that,' Pinkie thought, 'that kind of deal doesn't come without a big cost.'

'Wise words for such a youngling, but too late, you have already agreed.'

"Get out of my head!" screamed the pink filly, stretched to the breaking point.

"You are safe," a deep voice said from somewhere in the statue, "he is the Oathkeeper. You may trust him."

Pinkie's knee began to twitch. Suddenly a shadowy figure shot up through the floor. Pinkie screamed and flew backwards. She was ashamed to see she had left a small wet trail.

"Rise young one, and tell me your name." It was the voice that had spoken into her mind.

"P-Pinkamena."

The figure stood, still looking at the small pony.

"More?"

"Please," a wave of fetid air washed over pinkie as the creature spoke.

"I'm Pinkie, well Pinkamena Diane Pie."

"Good, now do you agree to the terms set to you by Nightmare Moon?"

"Yes, she will help me and I will make her special cupcakes."

"Good." A shadowy orb slowly emerged from the creature's chest. "This is a small piece of my power, which in turn is a small piece of our master's power." As the shadow spoke, the orb moved towards Pinkie. She tried to move away but found herself held in place by a mysterious force. "You will still remain full control of yourself and will share your body with nothing. This will merely unlock your, potential."

"What- what exactly will it do?" Pinkie asked, the orb now less than a hoof away.

"Your full strength will be unlocked, though most ponies may fear it. When you use this strength, your appearance will change. If you use enough of it at once, you will come to look like me, though you can still stop using it and revert to this puny form at will. You will also find yourself with a surplus of energy which you will need to burn off or this darkness will consume you."

"But-" Pinkie began, the orb was now touching her chest.

"We have looked through your memories. Your mark is for parties, yes?"

"Yes."

"Then you can use this energy."

The darkness shot through the small form of the pink pony, small tendrils wrapped themselves around her limbs until she was completely infused and enveloped with shadow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've regained a small memory,

It came into my head like that, suddenly.

I think I've gotten a clue,

Something tells me this is worse than, what I knew.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Pinkamena?" a voice asked, shaking the young filly, "are you alright?"

Pinkies eyes opened slowly and she saw her family gathered around her. She was back by the lake, her shelter was still standing and there was no sign that it had been crushed or that anything she remembered had actually happened. 'Please let that have been a dream,' Pinkie thought as she hugged her family. "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you mom," she said, crying now, "I'll always listen from no on."

Pinkie and her family began walking through the woods. Her dad had marked a path through the forest to where Pinkie had lost sight of her mom.

A voice rang through the forest, "remember little one, all debts must be paid eventually." Pinkie looked around, terrified, but nopony else seemed to hear it.

"Pinkamena honey, what is it?" her dad asked, looking very concerned.

"You didn't hear that?"

"Hear what sweetie?"

"Nothing," Pinkie said, shaking her head, "It must have been my imagination. By the way, could you please call me Pinkie?" She looked at her dad with pleading eyes.

"What's wrong with the name you have now?"

"Nothing it's just…. Nothing." Pinkie wanted to completely rid herself of all memories of the night.

Her dad seemed to notice his daughter's discomfort. "I suppose I can, but will you tell us what happened last night? Your fur seems darker and I haven't seen your mane lie that straight since the party."

Pinkie shuddered, "I don't know if I can."

They were nearly out of the forest when the voice called out once more, "a promise made on the shadows of darkness cannot be broken young one. Remember this and remember to whom you belong now."

Pinkie's head snapped back towards the way they came, all color was gone from her face and she wore a look of complete terror.

Her dad came over and slung her across his back. He walked near his wife and began whispering. The only words Pinkie caught was 'doctor' and 'stories'. The two full grown ponies looked back towards where they found their daughter.

"Hey dad," Inkie Pie asked, "what is this place and why does Pinkie keep getting scared?"

Their mom turned around. "I don't ever want any of you even coming near this forest, understand? This is the Everfree Forest and it's the most dangerous place in Equestria. It's a miracle we found your sister and she was alright." She looked at her now unconscious daughter, "well, mostly alright."

The rest of the walk home was spent in silence as the whole family feared for Pinkie.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is your redemption day everypony. Go away from me.

Stay away from me, go away!

You can't touch me now! You see this button here?

I'm gonna press it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, I was not expecting this to get so long or to take so long. I was thinking of a short little thing that was sort of a possession story. Also, I have no idea how the rock went that fast. Maybe Nightmare Moon was pulling it along to give herself a new servant.

Spike and Rarity chapter isn't going to come next like I planned, it will come after the next chapter. Speaking of chapters, I sat down and thought it out. There should be ten more chapters, if everything goes as planned. It's more likely to be more than ten if the number changes, but the lowest it will go is eight or nine.

Remember, I want reviews. I don't care if you just put a smiley face and a bro-hoof, let me know you're reading. Mason out- peace!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just remembered what happened in September

I'm the one who killed them all

I survived after the fall.
