~

 

You’re knocked backwards by an immense magical force, crashing into the cracked wall of stone behind you. You feel pain, but you shrug it off.

 

You can’t be stopped here. You’ve come to far.

 

Your headache has vanished as well. Your vision has returned. You are tired, but you are alive and well.

 

Twilight Sparkle was far more corrupt than she was in your previous encounters. She had a gaunt look on her face, her coat was a dark purple, and her eyes… her eyes were large red orbs glaring at you. You weren’t sure how you were going to fight this pony, but you had to try. You had to try something!

 

You had to find Rainbow Dash.

 

Your Gloves are warm, and bright. You can feel that it isn’t enough though.

 

You breathe slowly as Twilight walks closer to you. Her face hadn’t changed, but her horn was beginning to glow a faint purple.

 

What do?

 

>A) Talk.

>B) Attack.

>C) Fight.

>D) Flee.

 

 

CHOICE D

 

Twilight throws another magical pulse at you, but you manage to duck underneath it. You roll behind Twilight and run towards the opposite side of the ruins. You look back for a second to see if she was chasing after you. The fog was too dense; you can’t see a thing that far away. You continue to run through the castle ruins as fast as you can.

 

You approach a large, stone wall.

 

A dead end.

 

You hear a pop behind you.

 

You turn around quickly to see Twilight charging at you.

 

POP.

 

She vanishes again.

 

You back against the wall, waiting for her attack. You keep focus on your surroundings. One slight mistake could be your last.

 

You see a large magical arrow fly at your head! You duck as it flies through the stone wall, leaving a giant hole. You cover your hear from the falling rubble.

 

You see Twilight Sparkle walk towards you, her horn still glowing.

 

What do?

 

>A) Jump through the hole.

>B) Fight.

>C) Defend.

>D) Talk.

 

 

CHOICE A

 

You chuck a rock at Twilight, who splits it half before it hits her. While she was distracted, you had managed to climb through the large hole. You fall about 10 feet, landing on your ass. You shrug it off quickly and continue to run. Upon analyzing your surroundings, you realize that you have fallen into another part of the castle ruins. There are multiple paths everywhere, each leading to a certain doom.

 

You decide to hug the wall as you continue to sprint, still not looking back.

 

Magical blasts fly at you from all directions, yet you dodge each one. Twilight must be getting frustrated with your fleeing. The magic pierces each stonewall with extreme force. You hear chunks and chunks of stone collide with the floor. She was flinging magic at you like it was nothing.

 

Suddenly, you are hit in the leg! It causes you to fall, but you get up quickly, and continue to run.

 

“STOP RUNNING!” you hear Twilight scream. From where, you can’t tell.

 

You decide to make an immediate right, still managing to dodge magical blasts.

 

You run down the hall. At the end of the hall is a large suit of pony armor. It a bit tarnished, but still of incredible craftsmanship. It looks like it would almost fit you.  

 

In one hoof, the knight wields a large shield with a Sun Crest. In the other hoof, he holds a large lance, with a tassel adorned with the same Crest.

 

What do?

 

[Choose 2]

>A) Take Shield.

>B) Take Lance.

>C) Take Armor.

 

[OR]

>D) Take none, continue to run.

 

 

CHOICE A+B

 

You reach up to the statue and pull down the large shield and lance. They are immensely heavy!

 

Obtained Sun Shield and Sun Lance!

 

You struggle to pick the Lance up, and the Shield is no better. You decide to do it one step at a time. You strap the Shield to your left arm, making sure it is tight and secure. You pick up the Lance with both hands and rest it on your shoulder. It is far heavier than you though, you feel slightly over-encumbered. Running won’t work any more.

 

You walk slowly toward the entrance of the hallway, awaiting Twilight’s return.

 

The magic had stopped while you were equipping the Sun items. The fog had lightened up some as well, but you knew this wasn’t over. You keep your eyes peeled for any sudden movement.

 

You hear hoofsteps echo down the hall. You step backwards and hold the shield up, waiting for anything.

 

The steps become louder and louder….

 

Until…

 

You see Rainbow Dash come around the corner! Your eyes immediately locked on to the cyan mare. At first you didn’t even know if it was really her.

 

“Anon!?” she calls, trotting towards you. “Anon! I’ve been looking all over for you!”

 

What do?

 

>A) Talk?

>B) Attack.

>C) Defend.

>D) Drop weapons, and hug her.

 

 

 CHOICE A

 

“R-rainbow Dash?” You say, lowering the shield. “Is… is that really you?” You’re tempted to run up and embrace her, but your equipment is far too heavy. “She flies up to and wraps her hooves around your waist.

 

“Oh, Anon!” she says. “I was so worried that you were hurt.” She squeezes your waist tighter.

 

“I’m glad you’re ok , too.” You say. “But’s it not safe here! You need to leave, now.”

 

Rainbow looks up at you. “Don’t make me leave, Anon. I never want to leave your side.”

 

“But what about the others?” You ask, looking around, expecting them show up as well. “Rarity and Pinkie Pie?”

 

Rainbow Dash holds you even tighter. It’s starting to hurt.

 

“Forget about them, Anon.” She says. “This is about you, and I. Nothing else.” She squeezes you even tighter.

 

What do?

 

>A) Push her away.

>B) Agree, leave with her.

>C) Attack her.

>D) Talk more.

 

 

CHOICE A

 

“Rainbow Dash, stop.” You say trying to pull her off. “Where are the others?”

 

“Don’t. Worry. About. Them.” She repeats angrily. “All you need to worry about is me.” She bites at your stomach playfully, while laughing.

 

“Stop…” you say. “Stop! This isn’t you!” You push her off of you, causing her to fall to the ground. She looks up at you. You see the shock and fear in her face. Her face scrunches, as if she is about to cry. You can’t continue to look at this. This couldn’t be Rainbow Dash.

 

“If you are really my Rainbow.” You say, lifting your heavy Shield slightly. “Then tell me what I am wearing around my neck.”

 

The cyan mare stares at you. Your shield was covering your neck, there was no way she could see your locket.

 

“Uh… uh…” she stammers.

 

This was an imposter.

 

“You’re not the real.-“ you say, but you are cut off by a hoof to the face. It was lightning fast, you couldn’t even catch it.

 

You stagger a bit, a swipe your lance at the Imposter. You miss badly due to the immense weight of the weapon, and you are kicked again.

 

“You fool.” The Imposter says. “I will enjoy ending your life.” You hear a pop and see Twilight Sparkle appear behind the Imposter. She smiles at you, before summoning three more of the fake Rainbow Dashes.

 

You are outnumbered, with nowhere to run.

 

What do?

 

>A) Attack!

>B) Defend.

>C) Talk.

 

 

CHOICE B (5 Votes)

 

You lift the Shield up and walk backwards slowly. You feel the weight of the Shield diminish greatly. You can actually move faster! An Imposter rushes at you, full speed. You push the Imposter backwards with great force, sending her flying into the wall. It vanishes with a loud pop in a cloud of purple smoke.

 

You feel your gloves become warmer. The Shield weighs less and less, it feels.

 

Another Imposter flies overhead, while another charges at you from the ground. You crouch, holding the Shield at an angle. The flying Imposter crashes into your Shield multiple times, with extreme force. The third Imposter flies up with her to help.

 

You decide to roll backwards just as one of them was about to make contact with you again. The Imposter crashes into ground, her hooves stuck in the stone. You charge at her with the Shield, completely crushing her under your weight. Another cloud of purple signals its defeat.

 

Your Shield feels is incredibly lightweight, your Gloves are hot.

 

What do?

 

>A) Attack.

>B) Defend.

>C) Flee.

 

 

CHOICE A

 

You lift the Lance off of your shoulders. It still feels slightly heavy, but you are feeling powerful. You run and swipe at the third Imposter. You miss, but recover quickly. The fourth Imposter joins in as you lift your Lance up. You are surrounded on both sides.

 

You swipe multiple times at the third Imposter, who dodges each attack. Your attacks become faster and faster. The Imposter struggles to keep dodging. The fourth rushes at your rear, ready a series of attacks. You swipe once more at the third Imposter, colliding with her side. You send her flying in to the wall.

 

Before you finish her off are hit from behind from the fourth Imposter. She attacks you with a barrage of hooves and headbutts, each one hitting. You stumble backwards. You see her fly up to the ceiling. You get up quickly, ready for her attack. She launches at you, faster than you could handle.

 

Your gloves ignite with a blue flame. The Shield glows with the same blue flame. You riposte the attack from the Imposter, sending her into the wall with the third. You lift the Lance up over your head. The head of the Lance was a light blue flame as well. You swing downwards with all of your might, crushing both of the Imposters. They vanish in a cloud of purple smoke. You pick the Lance up and lay it on your shoulder. The floor underneath was crumbling.

 

You turn and face Twilight Sparkle, Shield and Lance at the ready. She glares at you, her horn igniting in a purple and red aura.

 

Your locket starts to glow a deep cyan color. The color spread throughout your body. You feel reborn. You feel powerful, and unstoppable. You feel like Rainbow Dash is at your side.

 

What do?

 

>A) Attack.

>B) Defend.

>C) Talk.

>D) Hold the Locket.

 

 

CHOICE D

 

You put the Lance down and hold the locket in your hand. It relaxes you. You haven’t felt this good in a long time. It shines brighter and brighter. The blue light fills the long hallway.

 

The castle begins to shake. It would collapse any minute. The floor underneath you was cracking.

 

You didn’t care. Your thoughts of Rainbow Dash gave you the power to keep going.

 

“Rainbow Dash…” You say in your head. “Help me.”

 

 

~

 

 

BACK AT THE CAMPSITE…

 

You are now Rainbow Dash.

 

“Fluttershy!” the three ponies shout. It was indeed Fluttershy, a very corrupted one at that. Fluttershy stands there, simply smiling at you all. Her smile was enough to scare the daylights out of you.

 

“You have to fight this!” you yell to her. “Don’t let this thing get to you!”

 

Fluttershy walks up to you, still giving that immensely creepy smile.

 

“Hit me.” She whispers, looking at you dead in your eyes. You pull your hoof back and hit her hard in the face. Fluttershy doesn’t flinch, nor does she move. She looks back at you in the eyes again. “Hit yourself.” You punch yourself in the face with the same amount of the force.

 

“Rainbow Dash!” Rarity yells. Pinkie Pie runs into Fluttershy with her shield, causing her to break the Stare with you.

 

You fall to the ground, holding your face in pain. Rarity and Pinkie Pie walk up to your side.

 

“We can’t look into her eyes!” Pinkie yells, giving you a Chocolate Bar. You feel much better.

 

What do?

 

>A) Fight!

>B) Defend.

>C) Flee.

 

CHOICE A

 

“ATTACK!” you yell. Pinkie Pie rushes towards Fluttershy with her shield, hiding behind it. Fluttershy sidesteps it completely, causing Pinkie to run into a tree. Rarity summons a small series of rocky gems from the ground and launches them at Fluttershy. Each one hits Fluttershy square in the face, yet she doesn’t move! She turns to you, trying to look into your eyes.

 

You quickly snap your head away. Looking into her eyes would be very, very bad at this point.

 

“Oh come, Rainbow!” Fluttershy yells at you. “What are you SCARED OF!?” She gets off the ground and flies at you, tackling you into the ground. She starts to pound your body with punches, keeping you pinned to the ground. You keep your eyes shut, trying to push her off.

 

Rarity rushes over and kicks Fluttershy off of you. She attacks her with kicks and punches, but Fluttershy just takes it all. She makes no attempt to defend any of it! Pinkie Pie runs in to help Rarity.

 

Rarity finishes off with a flank bump, sending Fluttershy into Pinkie’s shield, who ripostes her into the ground. Rarity runs over to you and heals you.

 

You see Fluttershy get up off the ground slowly, still smiling as if nothing had just happened.

 

“You…” Fluttershy says softly. “HAHAHA! You three are so VERY STUPID! And WEAK!!” She gets up off the ground and flies into the air. She gives a loud whistle that echoes throughout the forest. She glares at all three of you. “You all are going to be very sorry.”

 

What do?

 

>A) Attack more!

>B) Huddle up! We gotta defend!

>C) Let’s get out of here!

 

 

CHOICE C

 

“We need to get out of here!” You shout. “Run! Now!” You fly up to Fluttershy and attack her, giving Rarity and Pinkie time to run.  Pinkie and Rarity comply, grabbing what they can, and run into the forest.

 

You hit Fluttershy hard with lightning fast agility. You aim for her face, trying to prevent her from looking at you. You headbutt her, sending her falling to Earth. You fly after her, as fast as you can. You reach her, and you push her faster into the Earth. You smash her into the ground with all of you might, burying her deep into the crust of the Earth.

 

You fly out of the hole you made, and rush to catch up with Pinkie and Rarity.

 

You catch up within a few seconds. Rarity has her horn glowing to light the way.

 

You hear a menacing growl from the depths of the forest. Whatever Fluttershy summoned was nearing you.

 

You stick close to your friends, awaiting the vile beast.

 

“I’m scared, Rainbow!” Pinkie yells. “What do we do? What do WE DO!?”

 

You squint into the forest. You can’t see anything.

 

Suddenly, you hear a mighty roar from behind you. You push your friends forward to dodge whatever it may be. You turn quickly and jump up dodging a swipe from a bear. You fly downwards upright, digging your back hooves into the bear. It collapses to the ground, allowing you to jump off and rejoin your friends.

 

You see Fluttershy fly up behind the bear. She glares at you from afar. You couldn’t believe she was still up and going.

 

What do?

 

>A) Attack!

>B) Defend!

>C) Run!

 

 

CHOICE B

 

“Pinkie!” You say. “Get the bear food out, lure the bear away from here. Rarity, take it out while it’s distracted. Give me the mirror. I’ll take care of Fluttershy.”

 

Pinkie grabs Anon’s bag and takes out the Food and the Mirror. You take the mirror.

 

“Oh, Mr. BEAR!!!!!” Pinkie yells, shaking the bag of food in the air. The bear sees the bag and sprints towards Pinkie, who proceeds to run into the forest. Rarity follows closely behind her and the rampant bear.

 

This just leaves you and Fluttershy.

 

You see Fluttershy fly toward you. She was faster than you have ever seen! She pushes you backwards into a tree. You put up your hooves and block every punch she throws at you.

 

“Fight me! FIGHT ME!” Fluttershy yells, punching you harder and faster.

 

You quickly fall to the ground in an effort to avoid her punches, causing her to get her to split the tree in half. You trip while you are on the ground, and quickly fly into the air.

 

You darts right up to you, ready to keep attacking you. It was amazing how much endurance she had in this state.

 

What do?

 

>A) Attack!

>B) Defend!

 

 

CHOICE B

 

You have to wait for her stamina to run low, then you can use the mirror. Being on the defensive will work better than anything.

 

“Come and get me.” You say to Fluttershy. She screams as she flies at you. You decide to fly higher into the air, at top speed. You fly straight up, but Fluttershy stayed right one your tail.

 

“There’s no way….” You think to yourself. You make a quick u-turn, dodging the bullet that was Fluttershy. You head back downwards to the Earth, full speed ahead. Fluttershy angrily turns back and continues to chase you. You make another quick turn, but Fluttershy catches you this time. She grabs your tail, pulling you back up to her.

 

 

 

STOP RUNNING!” she screams, punching you hard in the stomach. You heave, but you still manage to stay in the air. You dodge Fluttershy as she attacks with another series of hooves.

 

You felt yourself getting tired. You look over in the direction of the old ruins. You see a lot of… purple smoke….?

 

Fluttershy hits you square in the face as you are distracted. You feel disoriented, you can’t see anything in front of you. You get hit in the face again by another fist. You return a fist blindly, you feel it collide with Fluttershy.

 

“That’s right! FIGHT BACK!” she yells.

 

You can’t take much more of this abuse.

 

What do?

 

>A) Fight!

>B) Defend.

>C) Use the mirror.

 

 

CHOICE C

 

You punch Fluttershy once more in the face. She flys backwards some, giving you a chance to get the mirror out. Fluttershy rushes at you as soon as you take the mirror out.

 

“NOOO!!!!” she screams, as you put the mirror up to defend yourself.

 

“Look! Look at yourself!” you say, breathing heavily. “You’ve become a monster!” Fluttershy stares in to mirror, completely frozen by her own reflection.

 

Fluttershy’s faces becomes contorted at the reflection. Her eyes begin to well up.

 

“I… I…” she stammers. Her face becomes angrier. Her eyes begin to redden. Her face becomes more contorted! She swipes at the mirror, punching it out of your hands. Before you can fly after it, Fluttershy tackles you, her eyes staring into yours.

 

You can’t fight back, you can’t move. You… you are…..

 

Fluttershy gives you an evil smile, her eyes still red and full of corruption.

 

“The dark side isn’t so bad, Rainbow….” She says. You feel your body weaken. Your mane was losing its color. Your eyes begin to redden.

 

“Help me.” You hear in your head.

 

What do?

 

>A) Struggle.

>B) Listen.

 

 

CHOICE B

 

You listen into your head. That voice! Was it…?

 

“Help me, Rainbow Dash.” You hear again. The voice is clear and vibrant. “I need you.”

 

It’s him! It’s Anon! You knew that voice all too well!

 

You feel your heart beat faster and faster. You feel your mind coming back to reality. Your Anon… he needs you. You can’t fail him. You can’t fail him here. Your eyes begin to glimmer a bright blue. Fluttershy continues to Stare at you, but to no avail. The color returns to your fur.

 

“Anon…” You whisper. “Anon!” You push back Fluttershy and stare back into her own eyes. You headbutt her with all of your might, causing her to fall out of the sky. You chase after her, your body emanating a blue glow. Catch Fluttershy as she’s falling, and headbutt her again and again. You are feeling no pain.

 

You see a blue fire in the forest below. You grab Fluttershy by her neck and fly straight upward into the sky. You fly as fast as you can, going as high as you can without feeling lightheaded. You stop and hover in midair.

 

“I’m sorry.” You say to Fluttershy. You give her one more headbutt, sending her hurling toward the unforgiving Earth. She flies at an incredible speed, heading all of the way to the blue flame. After a few seconds, you see a small mushroom cloud appear where Fluttershy hits the ground.

 

Your eyes shine even more brightly. You look over to ruins. They were crumbling.

 

“I’m coming, Anon.” You say, as you fly full speed to the crumbling castle.

 

~

 

 

BACK AT THE CRUMBLING CASTLE RUINS…

 

You are now Anon.

 

The locket glows in your hands.

 

“What is this?” Twilight asks angrily. “What are you doing?”

 

You release the locket and pick up your Lance.

 

“You aren’t going to win.” You say, walking towards her. The ground crumbles underneath. “I am going to overcome every obstacle in my path. I am going to return you to Harmony. And I will never be without Rainbow Dash.”

 

You swipe at Twilight with the Lance, hitting her directly in the stomach. She retaliates with magic blast. It pierces through you, but it does no damage.

 

“What is this!?” she yells. You jump and smash the Lance on her. She teleports behind you before you an hit her again.

 

“TAKE THIS!!!!” she yells, as she sends a massive energy ball your way. You don’t even turn around. You let the magic hit you directly.

 

“AHAHAHAHAHA!” Twilight yells.

 

The dust clears.

 

You are still standing with you back turned to Twilight. You turn slowly, and walk towards a still shocked Twilight.

 

The castle continues to crumble in your wake.

 

What do?

 

>A) Attack.

>B) Talk.

 

 

CHOICE B

 

“You are weak.” You say to Twilight as you continue to walk towards her. “You tried to make me feel as weak as you, and it didn’t work. You tried to get in my head, and it didn’t work. You tried to threaten ME!” You hit Twilight with your Shield, causing her to fall onto the ground.

 

“You know things that can help me finish this.” You say, putting your Shield on your back. You kneel next to her. Your Glove is shining brightly. You grab her face, causing her to wince. “Make this easier for yourself, and just give up.”

 

“Never.” She growls. The castle walls begin to fall. This was it. Soon you would be buried under the rubble.

 

“Tell me!” you say. Your hand illuminates her face, causing her to flinch. Twilight pushes you back with her hooves. Before you can react, she disappears with a loud pop. You get up and run down the remainder of the hall.

 

You had to reach the end….

 

And…

 

 

And… jump?

 

 

You run and run, the ground falling with each step.

 

You weren’t going to make it. You weren’t going to make it!

 

 

You reach the end of the hallway. You look down. You couldn’t see the ground. Suddenly, the floor falls beneath you!

 

“NO!!!!” you yell, as you fall towards the darkness.
