Lurking Shadows

Normal POV

Pinkamena walked along the factory's railing. She was making sure that everypony was meeting their obligations in making sure the weapon would be stable.

"The weapon is too powerful that it could go off any moment," The pink pony told herself.

There was a spot in the factory where the energy for the weapon was stored. They called the battery and the weapon S.P.E.C.T.R.A.

Pinkamena looked down below at the deep dark pit where the weapon's battery sat. It was about thousands of feet from where she stood. She had some doubts about the whole weapon idea to take over Equestria.

"Hey, Pinkie."

The pink killer looked at her right to see Hybrid's general. Rainbow Factory Dash. RFD had a black suit and armor plated with silver. She also had a symbol on her chest's armor.

Hybrid created and put her in charge of the army while Pinkamena was in charge of Dash. In fact, Hybrid created all of them for special task to handle for this important mission. Pinkamena was second in command, Rainbow Factory Dash was general of the army, Crazy Twilight was in charge of the weapon's battery power, Candy, a candy covered pony creature like monster, was in charge of eating the leftover trash left in the factory, and Flutter-Island-Shy was part of the army like the rest of the ponies of darkness there.

"Hello, Dashie. What is it that you need?"

The Pegasus smiled,"I just came here to see how you were holding up. You seemed deep in thought for a second. What's wrong?"

"It's just...do you ever get the feeling that Hybrid may just betray us when he finally gets full control over all of Equestria?"

"C'mon. He created us so that we could help him. We're like a family. He'd never just leave us after all we've done for him. Besides, he needs us to get back to the real world. Oh! Don't forget to mention that he promised us we would be able to rule by his side and cause as much chaos and madness that our heart's desire!"

The pink pony smiled at her friend. Even though they were all created by madness, they were a family.

"You're right Rainbow. Thanks. I have to go and see Hybrid now as a matter of fact. I'll see you later."


Pinkamena walked inside a large room and opened the large doors to it. She poked her head to see Hybrid on his throne looking at her. Hybrid nodded, signaling that she was able to come in. Pinkamena walked forward looking around the room. There were statues and paintings of Hybrid and the other ponies in the Underworld. Even herself.

"Ahh, Pinkamena. I trust that everything is alright?"

She nodded,"Yes, sir. Crazy and Forever Faithful Twilight are fixing the battery of S.P.E.C.T.R.A."

"Good, now then, what brings you here? Is there something I should know?"

"Nothing's wrong, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"...why exactly did you create us?"

Hybrid chuckled and walked towards his second in command.

"We've been over this a thousand times my pink friend. I created all of you because I needed a family. A family that would help me bring something great to Equestria. Ma-"

"I know I know. Madness. But, do you ever think of anything else but that?"

"I think about chaos on Mondays. And twice on Tuesdays."

The pink pony rolled her eyes at her leader's comment. He was always the jokester.

"Well now, you can tell everyone to rest. Tomorrow I will announce something."

"Yes, sir."

Pinkamena was about to leave when Hybrid stopped her with his voice.

"Oh, and Pinkie? Don't ever doubt me again."

"Yes, sir."


Morning arrived as the night waned. Pinkamena woke up and yawned, today was supposed to be an exciting day. Hybrid had told them that something big was going to happen today. As she walked out of her room she thought of what the announcement would be. As she was thinking she bumped into a fillie who ran into her. She looked down to see a fillie with a big bow on her head and black fur.

"Oh, sorry Pinkie." Creepy Bloom said sort of in a hurry, "I was trying to find Octavia X. She was supposed to show me how to use her cello."

"Why would you want to learn how to play the cello?" Asked Pinkamena.

Creepy Bloom sighed,"I'm just trying to find my special talent. I really want a cutie mark."

Pinkamena smiled at the little fillie and put her hoof on her head.

"Don't worry, you'll get your cutie mark soon. I know it. Hey, while you're at it, go and get Octavia. Tell her to meet me and the other ponies in the meeting place."

The little fillie nodded and ran to find her.


All the ponies sat at wondered what was happening. Pinkamena walked around wondering what was going on as well. Suddenly, a mist of black smoke appeared and it formed into a terrifying dog. Hybrid.

"Good morning fillies and germs! I see that we have some of our important ponies here such as Rainbow Factory Dash, Flutter-Island-Shy, Forever Faithful Twilight, Little Miss Rarity, and Crazy Twili-"

"Study! Study! Don't be late!" Said Crazy Twilight interrupting Hybrid. He cleared his throat and continued.

"Anyways, like I was saying, we have a lot of very important ponies here that make sure everything's in order. Now, for my announcement, after thousands of years one of us will be able to go to the real world and study all the ponies there. Whoever is chosen will report back to me so that we can take over all of Equestria!"

A hoof was then raised in the air and Hybrid took notice of this.

"Yes, Miss Rarity."

"Yes, I will like to point out why only one of us can go to the real world."

"That's a very good question! And fortunately I have the answer. Well, as you all know, S.P.E.C.T.R.A. is powered by rainbows which we make here. And unfortunately you and I were punished to make rainbows for Equestria as well! But, what Celestia doesn't know is that this machine is powered by something else. The only way we can ALL go into the real world is if we are able to get an alicorn's life source. I order for me to go I need the book that is kept somewhere in Ponyville. But until then, only one of us is able to go. So, who will it be?"

All the other ponies looked around the room not wanting to look directly at Hybrid. They didn't know how the outside world would be like.

"I will!"

All the ponies turned their heads to see a little fillie raising her hoof. Even Pinkamena was in shock. Hybrid smiled, he never thought out of all ponies that a little fillie would volunteer to go into another world.

"Such bravery, Creepy Bloom. I'm proud of you, hey! Maybe you'll get a cutie mark for this."

The little fillie jumped up and down with excitement. Hybrid walked towards her.

"But first I have to lay down some ground rules:

1) Don't get near any of the princesses. They might find out that you're one of us.

2) Make sure you gain the ponies' trust. We want to know as much as we can.

3) Find that book and bring it back here.

4) This is my favorite one, if you even think about betraying us..."

Hybrid pulled out a sword that he had on his hip. The sword had a red stone blade on it that seemed to be on fire. Creepy Bloom shook and gulped with fright.

"...But I'm sure that you will do as ordered. Now! Off to the machine."

Hybrid walked and told the fillie to follow him. Pinkamena stopped Hybrid in his tracks and questioned,"Sir, what are you doing? Are you serious in letting a little fillie go alone?"

"Yes I'm sure cupcake. And what did I say about doubting me? I'm all great and powerful. I'll make sure everything goes as planned."

Pinkamena stepped back and let Hybrid on his way.

Hybrid stopped infront of a giant structure that had a a circle around the middle. Hybrid ordered for the machine to be activated. They listened and activated it with the press of a few buttons and levers being pulled. The machine was activated and created a portal. Hybrid walked next to Creepy Bloom.

"Now remember, when you arrive over there you will have a different appearance. And you will have only four weeks until you return back to normal which is abou-"

"Which is about 28 sols!" Yelled Crazy Twilight interrupting Hybrid yet again.

"Right, anyways go when ready kid."

Creepy Bloom looked back at all the ponies. They all smiled and reassured her. She then saluted and jumped in. She panicked as she went inside the portal. Then, everything went dark.


Creepy Bloom opened her eyes slowly. She groaned and got up, looking around her surroundings. The sky was a beautiful blue and a bright light shone on it. She looked at herself and noticed that she was different! She a yellow mane and a light brown coat of fur. She also had a bow that was red and her eyes were normal, they were a light blue.

"This is strange." Creepy Bloom said looking around.

CB walked along the green grass and looked ahead. She saw a little town there with a bunch of ponies. They were all...normal.

"This must be the place Hybrid told me about once before. Ponyville was it? Well, here goes nothin'"

She walked towards the town and felt nervous. When she got to the streets of Ponyville, all the ponies greeted her politely.

"Wow, these ponies sure are nice to one n' another." Creepy Bloom thought as she accidentally walked into a pony.

CB looked at the pony infront of her with astonishment.

"Hi there! I don't think I've seen you around here before. My names Apple Bloom. What's yours?"

Creepy Bloom thought of something and told her politely, "CB. You can call me CB."

Aplle Bloom smiled,"Are you new here?"

CB nodded and asked, "Is this Ponyville?"

"It sure is! This is where me and my friends live. Hey, do you have a place to stay?"

CB nodded, "No."

"Where are your parents?"

"Parents?"

"Apple Bloom?!"

Apple Bloom heard her sister calling and answered back,"I'm here sis!"

CB wondered who she was calling and saw an earth pony with a hat and three apples for a cutie mark. The though of a cutie mark made her want one so bad! She had to complete this mission! Maybe Hybrid would award her with a cutie mark!

"Applejack, I want you to meet CB. She's new here and she doesn't have a place to stay. Can we please have her over?! Just for the night?!"

Applejack chuckled,"Of course. She can stay as long as she wants, but I have to ask: where are your parents little fillie?"

CB quickly though of something,"I don't have any parents. I'm an orphan."

Applejack was saddened by this and smiled.

"Well, don't you worry. You can come with us."

CB smiled and felt different inside. But she didn't know what. She followed them towards a barn in a nice open countryside. The place was absolutely beautiful. It was getting dark and Apple Bloom said that CB could sleep in her bed with her. CB took the offer and thought about what had happened today. For the first time, she didn't feel or thought of chaos or madness. She fell asleep happily with a smile on her face. She felt at home.


CB opened her eyes slowly and closed them. She then shot them open with astonishment. She was in a dark forest where the sky was dark blue and the trees had no leaves.

"What's going on here?"

Suddenly, the moon started to glow tremendously and a pair of eyes could be seen on it. Creepy Bloom looked in absolute fear. What was going on?! The moon then cast a shadow and formed a familiar creature.

"Well, well, well. Look who's gone to first class."

"Hybrid?! But I though you couldn't-"

"Relax little fillie. I'm not in the real world. We're just inside your head."

"So, I'm dreamin'?"

"Correct! By the way, I see you've TaKeN a liking in the Apple family. They're really nice folks, too bad that Applejack is the element of honesty. She'll have to be destroyed like the rest of the elements of harmony."

Creepy Bloom was shocked to hear this.

"What?! But-"

"Ah ah ah, remember what we talked about? You wouldn't want to be ERASED! Would you?"

Creepy Bloom gulped and nodded.

"Well good for you. I hope you don't forget that I'm the one who created you and that we're all counting on you. Now if you'll excuse me I have to visit some old friends."

Hybrid snapped his fingers and smiled at Creepy Bloom.

"Wake up."


Creepy Bloom sprung up from the bed and gasped. She looked around the room and sighed in relief, she was safe. For now.
