Location: Golden oaks Library, main room

Date: Friday, 31st of october, Hollow night

Time: 2:00 P.M.

Me, my bros and Nano were getting ready for tonight. I had Rarity make me a black tuxedo and a red tie, while she was making it I made the mask portion of the costume, I made an enchanted mask to change into what i want and fuse with the wearer until he takes off. I changed the mask to look pure white with no face.

Alduin enjoys this time of year because he can turn into a real demon made of pure Dark Eco. Zii just made himself some arch-angel armor and used his wing for the costume. Nano changed his body to look like Venom from the Spider-man series.

"So are we also going to preform as a band?" Asked Nano with the voice changed to match Venoms voice.

"I don't see why not man, it'll be fun trust me." Alduin ensured him with a pat on the back.

"But what song are we going to do?" Zii asked all of us

"I got one but I aint saying, you guys will have to wait."  I said as I got up and walked out the door towards the schoolhouse to pick up the girls.

While on my way I took notice on the decorations scattered around town. Hollow night, me and the guys call it. The ponies celebrate Nightmare night and we celebrate Holloween, so for short we call it Hollow night.

When I arrived at the schoolhouse, I noticed it was decorated to look like an abandoned house. I went inside and saw that the students were drawing, painting and building things.

I looked around for Nyx and saw her with the CMC. I made my way to them, some kids recognize me from the Ursa attack, I noticed that because some kids were looking at me.

"Hey girls." I greeted Nyx and The CMC gaining their attention.

"Hey dad."Nyx and Scootalo said simultaneously with smiles.

"Hi Jak. Rarity told me if I ever saw you today to tell you that your tuxedo and red tie are finished." Sweetie said to me.

"Cool, I'll pick it up later on my way back home" I said to Sweetie.

"Okay but why a tuxedo and a tie it's nightmare night, you should have a costume for today." Scootalo said wondering about my choice in costume.

"You'll see." was all I said to her while messing with her mane making her giggle.

"Alright class now, oh! We seem to have a visitor?" Miss Cheerilee said walking in to class.

"Hey Cheerilee." I greeted her.

"Hello Jak. What brings you here this early?" She asked me.

"I wanted to what my favorite group of fillies were doing in class." I said as I knelt down and gave Nyx and all the members of the CMC a group hug.

Cheerilee went ahead and continued to teach the kids some history. When she got to the part of Nightmare moon, I took notice on Nyxs, she was almost in tears. I put my arm around her trying to comfort her.

"Remember that is not you anymore." I said her gaining a sad nod from her.

After a full thirty minutes in school the bell finally rang and we made our way out. The girls went ahead outside, I was about to leave but Cheerilee called me in.

"What's up?" I said to her.

"It's about Nyx earlier during history." She said to me. Sighed at this.

"Why was she crying during the Nightmare moon bit?" She asked.

"Not many ponies no this and for good reason to, just promise me you won't think of her any different." I said to her.

"I'm only doing this because I care for my students." She said. She's a saint.

"The reason Nyx cried was because she IS Nightmare moon." I said to her. She stood their if what I just told was a joke until I gave her a look that said 'I'm serious'.

"So the reason she was crying was because she regretted her actions in the past?" She asked. I answered with a nod.

"If that would be all, I need to get going." I said as I walked to the door but stopped at the doorway.

"And if you say anything about this conversation, well I going to make it look like you never existed." I threatened her.

"Jak, I promise you I will not say a word to anypony about this." She said with a smile.

I walked out the door and saw that Nyx and the others were waiting for me outside.

"What took you so long Dad?" Scootalo asked as she grabbed her Scooter.

"She asked why your sister was crying and I told her." I said to her.

"So she knows too?" She asked.

"Yeah but she promised she wouldn't say a word." I reassured her making her smile in relief that her sisters secret is safe.

As I got closer to the girls, I could here what they are talking about.

"So what are you going as tonight?" Applebloom asked Nyx.

"I'm thinking of going as a vampire queen." She said oddly reminding me of Marcelin the Vampire queen.

"What about you Scoots?" Applebloom asked me.

"I'm going as a Wonderbolt!" said Scootalo excitedly. All of the fillies turn to me to find out what I'm going as.

"I'm going as something from were I come from." I said to them.

"You girls go to sugar cube corner and get some Ice cream, I need to pick up my suit from Rarity." I said the them as I gave them some bit to get ice cream.

"Okay." All of them said as they made their way to Sugar cube corner. I turned to walk to Rarity's boutique.

When I made their, the doors open with a bell ringing.

"Come in~." said Rarity from another room.

"Rares it's me Jak. I came to pick up the suit and tie." I said as Rarity arrived in the room.

"Ah yes." She said as she used her magic to grab the suit and tie.

"I still don't understand why a suit and not a costume?" She asked me as I toom a look at the pure black suit with a blood red tie on it.

"It's something from back home." I said to her as I gave her the bits to pay her.

"There's no need to pay for that you're a friend, the gratitude I get is payment enough." She said denying the bits.

"I see why the element of generosity chose you as it's bearer." I said as I made my way to Sugar cube corner.

On the way their, I received a call from Zii.

"Hey." I answered the call.

"We got the things we need for our performance tonight and Nano got the hang of using the drums." He said through the phone as random beats of the drums could be heard from his end.

"Cool. I got the suit and I'm heading to Sugar cube." I said to him.

"Alright the see ya there." He said before hanging up. With that done I quickly made my way to Sugarcube corner.

When I arrived, I saw my two brothers, Nano and Spike with the fillies sitting down near a table. I walked over to them.

"There you are." Al said.

"What, we still have a couple of hours till it gets dark and we can practice at the Everfree castle." I said to the impatient Alduin. I turned to the fillies.

"You girls done?" I asked and received some nods from them.

"Alrighty then. Nyx I want to see you at home by 6:00 so we can get your costume ready and that goes for you two Scoots. Me and the guys got to practice for tonight." I said to them.

"Kay Dad." Nyx said as she and the rest of the girls went out.

"Alright then let's go." I said to the guys. We got up from the table and made our way to the castle. Once their we went to the weapons lab and turned on the lights.

I saw an Electric guitar for Alduin, a bass guitar for Zii, Spike had gotten a keyboard and Drums for Nano and a microphone for me. We grabbed our gear and started practicing for the event.

Time: 6:00, 4 hours of practicing

Location:Ponyville, Golden oaks Library

Status: Getting ready for Hollow night

After a few hours of band practice, we made our way back to the Library to get ready. Alduin changed into our old prisoner outfit in complete Dark form, Zii put on his arch-angel armor and summoned his wings,Spike used an ability I taught him that allows him to make him look like a ferocious and battle ready drake, Nano shifted his form to look exactly like venom and I put on the tuxedo.

Spikes ability: Tank drake

Lokziis armor: Arch-angel armor and sword

Nanos appearance

Alduins outfit and form

"Even without the mask, the tuxedo is creepy as hell." Alduin said in a demonic voice to fit his look.

"Just wait until you see this." I said as I put on the mask, making it fuse with me.and changing my skin color to a ghostly pale white and made me grow to 7 feet.

"Holy Shit" Al and Zii said when the transformation was done. Spike looked at me with some fear evident in his face and Nano just gave me a thumbs up.

After a while, Nyx and Scootalo came downstairs in their costumes. When Nyx said she was going to be vampire queen, I really though that she was going as an actual vampire queen. Nyx was wearing the exact same clothes as Marcelin from adventure time. Scootalo was wearing the Wonderbolt outfit I got for her a few days ago.

Twilight went downstairs after the girls did. She was wearing the Starswirl the bearded costume like in the show.

"Can any of you guys guess what I am?" She asked. Me and the guys looked at each other for a second and turned to her.

"Starswirl." Me, Nano, Al and Zii answered simultaneously gaining a happy yes from Twilight and a confused look from Spike.

After a while I checked the time and it said 8:00 P.M

We went around town with Nyx and Scootalo so they can get candy and on the way we saw Pinkie leading a group of children and she was wearing a chicken suit. I'm not even going to ask.

As we walked around town, I decided to do walk like a badass. I summoned my tendrils and used the to walk like a demon out of hell.

Twilight looked like it was making her sick with the way I was hanging, Nyx and Scootalo thought it was awesome and creepy at the same time.

We passed by Pinkie, who was wearing a chicken outfit while trick or treating with a group of children.

"Pinkie aren't you a little old for candy?" Asked Twiligh. The guys, me and Pinkie all gasped at this.

"You can never be to old for candy!" Lokzii said raising his sword in a heroic way gaining some shouts of agreements from the rest of us. Twilight didn't even ask why and rolled with it.

Now at the center of town, we noticed a chariot in the sky with a crescent moon on it. I signaled my brothers to hide somewhere to surprise Luna. Lokzii went ahead and deactivated his wings while Alduin went invisible.

After the chariot landed and Luna walked out of it, She went and gave Nyx a hug as soon as she saw her, when she looked at me though, I don't know how but sbe knew it was because she tackled me in a hug causing my tendrils to lose focus and made us both fall.

"How are you guys this fine night?" She asked as she was getting up like it never happened. I got up, cleaned the dirt out of the suit and proceeded to take of the mask. It looked like I was taking off the mask from the movie The Mask. After it was off, I was beginning to turn back to normal size.

"Well me and Nyx are having a blast." I said motioning to Scootalo to come here. She did so but nervously hid behind me when she got here.

"This is Scootalo, a new member of the family." I said gaining a confused look from Luna, I leaned close to her ear and whispered."I'll explain later, it's a sensitive topic for her." I said to her.

"Alright father but you will tell me later." She said. I sensed Alduin behind Luna before he poked her. Luna turned around and saw no one behind her, Al poked her again this time getting blasted by Lunas magic. The only way you track down a flying invisible person is to follow his shouting. Al landed in a window of the same shop Zii got blasted to last time.

Luna heard the shouting and went to investigate the culprit. When she saw the broken window she made her way to him. When she saw that it was Alduin, she gasped in surprise and began to tear up.

"Uncle Al!" She shouted as Al was being hugged to death by her.

"Yes it's me but can you not hug me in to oblivion!" He yelled out and Luna got up from him.

"But if you're here then where's..." She trailed off as she saw Lokziis armor and recognized it. Zii on the other hand started hauling his ass but could not escape his inevitable fate of Lunas hugs of destruction. After she was done she brought Zii back from God knows where.

"How?" Was asll Luna asked us. We looked at each other and nodded our heads in agreement of the same answer.

"it's magic we  ain't gotta explain shit!" was our answer. It made Luna facepalm at our answer.

"Why did I not seen that coming?" She asked us with disappointment in her voice.

After that little stunt Luna went ahead and played some games with Nyx and Scootalo while Twilight went to go and hang out with her friends. The guys and I decided to talk to the mayor for the performance.

The mayor was ecstatic when we asked for the stage and immediately said yes. Now we just need to get our stuff from the castle.

Later when the stuff was brought back

Time: 10:00 P.M.

We were ready to start. Alduin retracted his claws and Spike turned into a teenaged Drake, with the help of me of course.

Spikes teen aged form and outfit.

The ponies around town gathered around noticing the stage being set up by us. I turned on all four of the amplifiers that are powered with Power Cells and checked if it was connected proparly and plugged in Spikes keyboard in one, Alduins guitar in another and Ziis Bass guita in the third one and the microphone in the last one.

"Hello testing one two three." I said testing the mic.

"Good evening Ponyville. We hope you're having a very fun and a very spooky Nightmare night." I said through the microphone and gaining the ponies to cheer at this.

"And we wanted to preform tonight with a song we've beem practicing on." I said signaling for Spike and Nano to start.

After the song was finished the crowd erupted in cheers and some shouts of an encore.

"Seems like you guys and gals like the song, eh?" I asked everypony as they clapped.

"So does that mean we can go again or we done for the night?" I asked them gaining cheers of approval.

"Alright then but be advised this ones a bigger doozy that the last." I said as I conjured up another guitar for Spike this time.

"You'll know when to use it but right now let us do our thing." I said to him.

"Sure thing dude." He said with a teenaged voice.

We got ready for another song and this one was for shits and giggles. I motioned for Al and Zii to start.

When it was time for the guitar solo, Spike showed up on stage and played the shit out of his guitar.

After the song ended everypony were cheering from our performance.

"Thank you for having us tonight, we hope hope all you kids out there get a sizable amount of candy and have a happy Nightmare night!" I said as I put the mic back on the stand and proceeded off stage.

Once off stage, I met up with the guys and oddly Rhino.

"Dude, where were you all day?" I asked Rhino wondering where the fuck he as been.

"I was helping Applejack with the farm." He simply said.

"Uh huh, so you aren't trying to impress her because you've been going to work on the farm each chance ya get." I said to him. He looked around nervously trying tl avoid eye contact. I smirked at this.

"It looks like you have a crush on her." I said. He looked down in shame and nodded to my accusation.

"Yeah I like her but I don't think she would want to go out with someone like me. I mean, I'm a Metal-head, Metal-heads aren't supposed to love but yet here I am." He said. It looks like that spell changed more than his appearance.

"It's alright man. Everyone has a crush on someone every now and then." I said to him trying to cheer him up. By now we didn't notice the mane six with Nyx and Scootalo walk in until Pinkie came in.

"You guys were amazing! I've never heard music like that ever!" She said in her usual behaviour.

"Yes darling, I will admit that some parts in the last song was a bit disturbing, it was quite enjoyable." Rarity said complementing our performance.

"Yeah, you guys rocked!" R.D said next. Applejack came in and noticed Rhino then turned her head but I cought a glimpse of a blush on her cheeks. Looks like Rhino ain't the only one.

"Jak that was amazing!" Said Twilight as she led Nyx and Scootalo inside.

"Yeah Dad. I didn't know you guys could rock!"Scoots said and Nyx nodded in agreement.

"Don't thank me, the the rest of the guys. With out them this wouldn't be possible." I said giving the rest of the guys some credit. Twilight noticed Spikes change.

"Spike? What happened to you?" She asked.

"Jak tought me how to look my own age in his last lesson." He said turning to me. He inhaled some air ready to shout.

"Fus Ro Dah!!" He shouted, pushing me back a few inches.

"Let me show you mine." I said as I inhaled some air.

"Fus Ro Dah!!!" I shouted, sending him flying.

"You need to work on that, Spike." I informed him as he gave me a thumbs up from the ground.

It's been a fun night but like all things it had to come to an end. Me, Twilight, Spike and the two little fillies made our way back home. After Twilight and I said our good nights, I went to my room to change out of the outfit and in to some sleeping clothes. When I was done changing, I fell on my mattress like a ton of bricks and went to sleep.
