Episode 14: Nightmare (Part 2)

By: Ma252

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

As Twilight opened the door labeled Childhood, a chill ran down her back.

She could physically feel the evil flowing from this door, as if all of Equestria's horrors had been shoved into one tiny space.

“Girls, I have a really bad feeling about this.” Twilight says as she and five other mares walk into the pitch blackness that awaits ahead of them.

There was what sounded like electricity surrounding them.

“I dont like this at all Twi.” Applejack said out of uncertainty.

Before Twilight could respond, a large amount of lights turned on in front of the six mares.

The light revealed a giant statue of Max, holding a banner.

“No Gods or Kings, Only Man”  Twilight read it out loud.

“What's that supposed to mean?” Rainbow Dash questioned. Twilight just looked down in thought.

“WELL IM GLAD YOU ASKED!” A voiced boomed above the six girls, making them all scream.

“WOAH WOAH WOAH.” The voice boomed again.

The mares looked up to see the statue of Max holding out its hands and reeling back.

“Who are you?” Pinkie yelled pointing at the statue with a hoof.

The statue looked up, then rubbed its chin.

“HONESTLY, I DONT EVEN KNOW ANYMORE. IT REALLY HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE MAX REMEMBERED ANYTHING FROM HIS CHILDHOOD.” It said, starting to look a little down.

“Well uh….Mister…….” Twilight Paused, looking at the Statue.

The statue looked up and scratched his chin once more.

“RYAN, CALL ME RYAN.” It said with confidence.

“Well, Mister Ryan.” Twilight started, before thinking of the right words to say.

“We came here to get rid of some nasty black goop, that maybe you’ve seen around here.” She suggested.

Ryan looked up and wrapped the banner he was holding around his neck like a scarf.|

He crossed his arms and looked down at the lavender mare.

“NOW THAT YOU SPEAK OF IT, I DID NOTICE TED ACTING PRETTY WEIRD THE OTHER DAY.” He said, looking up and tilting his head to the left (Of course).

“Who’s Ted?” Rainbow Dash asked Ryan.

“OH, WELL HES THE COMBINATION OF ALL OF MAX’S CHILDHOOD FEARS.” He says in a nonchalant manner.

Each of the girls in the room get a shiver down their spines.

“w-w-what do you mean a combination of all of Max’s Childhood fears?” Fluttershy barely managed to get out.

“I DIDN'T FUCKIN’ STUTTER DID I?” Ryan yells. He then covers his mouth.

“OH DEAR, FORGIVE ME. MAX DOES SEEM TO LIKE SWEARING A LOT; ALMOST AS IF ITS A PART OF HIS PERSONALITY.” She says as he bends down and pats the shy pony on the head with a finger.

“Uh, this may sound like a odd question, but where is Ted today?” Twilight asks, almost sounding angry.

“WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE THAT STICK UP THE ASS?” Ryan says while flossing the banner between his legs.

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

Hold up, the Narrator would like to say a few words of wisdom.

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

Everypony could hear Pinkie in the background laughing it up. Thats what Ryan wanted.

because of course, Ryan was a part of Max, and Max was indeed infatuated with Pinkie for some reason. I mean, dont look at me, im just the narrator.

The author has some odd obsession with romance, but can't seem to write it correctly; sad right? Well, thats enough of breaking the fourth wall.

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

Back to the other thing

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

Twilight and the rest of the girls were heading through several dark corridors, only being lit by the lantern that Ryan gave them while we were taking a break from the main story and being silly.

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

No, no, no I still need to say a few things

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

Well hold on, i think that we the readers deserve a little bit of a “What the hell is going on and how can i catch up on it” Moment.

Well, it seems that our Protagonist is infected with the “Nightmare” and Celestia has assigned Max’s friends….well…..sorta acquaintances...to clear out the corruption inside of Max’s brain.

Pretty rough, might I say.

Oh, it looks like our five side characters and one main characters have reached Teds office. You know when the Author came up with the Idea of Ted, he was eating a Classic Entenmann's Donut.

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

Now back to the Good stuff

Twilight Sparkle (2nd Person)

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

You are Twilight Sparkle, and you are definitely not Okay.

in fact, you're more scared than youve ever been in your entire life. You looked at the abomination that sits in front of you. His….her? No, Its. Yes, you could say the thing is an It.

As It sits in front you, you get a good look at it from the back.

It looked like a stuffed bear, except it had maggots crawling out of its inside. it was also leaking the black stuff that look REALLY similar to that of the black sludge on the door.

It also had limbs protruding from its back, as if it was part spider. Each of the legs twitched in an erratic way.

“I can smmmmmmelll your fear.”  it said, causing you and each of your friends to freeze.

It cant

Its not possible to SMELL fear.

“No need to think about it my fair…..”  You see it seem to inhale deeply.

“......Twilight Sparkle….”  It said your name.

Rainbow Dash reluctantly approaches Ted.

“Ahh, the polychromic menace approaches.” It says with a chuckle.

“What do you know about me?” Rainbow Dash questions as she slowly approaches the Abomination.

You get ready to warn her but before you could, the unthinkable happens.

Ted Turns around quickly, which reveals his face.

It looks like something from a nightmare.  It is completely covered in the black goop, but he seems to have white teeth protruding from the inside of its mouth. Its eyes are glowing red. Smoke was starting to come from his eyes, as if they were heating up.

“Foal, this mind contains the secrets of the past, present, and future. I know all, you are but an insignificant speck in the fabric of the universe.”

Its eyes started glowing a more vibrant red, it felt….HOT

You look to the Rainbow Dash and yell “RAINBOW MOVE!” but unfortunately it was too late.

A stream of red light burst from Teds eyes and clipped Rainbow Dash’s wing. She cried in pain as she fell to the ground.

“RAINBOW DASH!” The five other mares cried out.

You rush toward your friend- NO

Your best friend, you may be close to the other girls, but you and Rainbow Dash had a Special bond that seems to have grown...since...Max arrived…

*DINGDINGDINGDING*

You leave the other girls as tears stream from your eyes.

“You don't get to hurt my friends and get away with it.” you say as you flare your magic.

“Oh Twilight, don't make me hurt you.  You know Max always liked you.”  He said with a smile.

“It doesn't matter, the only reason i'm here is to get rid of YOU.” you say as you launch a purity spell at it.

He seems to be slightly agitated by it.

“You’re treading on light ground FOAL” He says as he stands up fully. He towers over you, slightly intimidating you. “What would you know about light ground fatty!” You hear Pinkie yell from behind you.

“Ms. Pie, i insist you not involve yourself in this dispute.”  He says as he holds out an….arm to Pinkie.

You stand confused, why would he treat Pinkie with such a manner?

“Why Pinkie?” you ask the Bear.

He seems to gaze off into the distance.

“It is a simple question, and to that; there is a simple answer.” He says with a condescending tone.

“Love, is the answer to your question my dear Twilight Sparkle.” Ted says with a little laugh.

You turn around and walk over to Pinkie

“I think you're the only one who can talk to..” You turn around to see the Stuffed Bear…..playing footsies with himself….you guess he really is a child….wait…

“Hold that thought Pinkie.” you say to her as she starts grabbing at the air...just Pinkie being Pinkie.

******** ********

You were still Twilight, and the narrator was sick of the change in indication for a transition.

but you were Twilight, so you really had no idea what the black text was talking about, in fact, you have no idea about the black text. Youre just standing there, like a blithering idiot.

But you were still Twilight, and you had an idea how to get rid of the corruption.

As quick as you could, you put a magical dome around Ted. he seemed too busy to know what was going on before you started to work on a Flammability Spell.

Youre startled when it actually works, and you finish the Flammability Spell. Ted is now more flammable than paper.

As soon as you had begun the spell, you set a spark inside of the dome fairly close to Ted, which immediately sets him, and the air inside the dome ablaze.

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

Narrator Here

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

Hello!

Narrator here, i'm just popping in to tell you how in the hell Twilight single hand- eh, hoofed defeated the giant teddy bear that was corrupted by the Nightmare.

You see i could tell you some magic mumbo jumbo, but the fact is, that giant teddy bears don't have a fucking nervous system, so they cant fucking feel a damn thing, whether it be magic or stabs.

Just saying, im not trying to ruin Twilights sense of...victory...but i kind of did.

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

Back to Twilight!

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

Feeling Slightly disappointed at her easy victory, Twilight walked up to the girls surrounding Rainbow Dash.

“Are you going to be okay Rainbow?” You ask your friend. She looks pretty Rough, there is a hole through her left wing.

“This isn't permanent is it?” Rainbow asks me.

You think for an answer, and find one.

“Of course not, were simply dreaming right now.” you say with confidence.

She stands up with a wince. “Good, i would have to off myself if it was permanent.” she says with a laugh.

but a cold feeling runs through you.

then

Black.
