Hehe well I'm back with the next chapter. A little test first, who would win in a eating competition; Shaggy, Scooby, or Pinkie Pie? Read and review.
Zecora's Hut
In a tribal looking hut in a swamp the owner was busy minding her own business.
The owner was a female zebra wearing gold earrings and had a solar pattern on her hind legs. This is Zecora, a good friend of Twilight Sparkle.
"Mm something of scales and fear stalks my hut." Zecora said as she heard a splash nearby.
A knock on the door had Zecora trotting towards it and soon wished she had Fluttershy with her.
The visitor was a ten foot gator walking on it's hind legs. The gator's back was a dark green, it's stomach was a light green, and his snout a pale green. The gator's eyes were a haunting yellow and somehow managed to paralyze the zebra.
"A gator that walks on two legs, and has yellow eyes is an unusual sight. Whoa," said Zecora as the gator snapped at the zebra.
Zecora rarely would retreat from her home, but this gator was a bit too much for her.
Canterlot Castle
Shaggy and Scooby were just waking up to the sight of Princess Luna.
Along with Luna was a taller Alicorn with a white fur coat, three colored mane and tail as well as a sun on her hind legs. This is Princess Celestia, Princess Luna's elder sister.
"Greetings to you young Shaggy and Scooby Doo, welcome to Canterlot." Celestia greeted the two males.
"Woah Scoob, I think we need to cut back on habanero covered ice cream... Wait where did the Black Knight Ghost go?" Shaggy said then asked as he and Scooby panicked.
"Easy there young ones your safe for now. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Princess Celestia of Canterlot, and this is Princess Luna of Canterlot." Celestia greeted and before anyone could say anything else a big party popper blew.
A pink pony with a poofy pink mane and tail, three balloons on her hind legs appeared. Along with her was a tiny toothless alligator with big blue eyes that was in her mane. This is Pinkie Pie and her pet Gummy.
Another pony with an orange fur coat, blonde mane and tail tied up in a ponytail, three apples on her hind legs and wearing a western hat followed in after the party pony. This is Applejack from Sweet Apple Acres.
A purple Alicorn with dark purple with a single pink striped mane and tail, and a star on her legs followed as well. This is Princess Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville.
"Looks like our new visitors have just woken up. I am Twilight Sparkle the Friendship Princess, and this is Applejack and Pinkie Pie." Twilight introduced before an eerie chuckle and some armored footsteps could be heard.
All the ponies as well as Shaggy and Scooby turned to see the owner of the footsteps, The Black Knight Ghost.
However he seemed to be accompanied by the same dark green shadow with red eyes and a red mouth. There is only one known ghost that appears as a shadow, the Phantom Shadow.
"ZOINKS! IT'S THE BLACK KNIGHT AND THE PHANTOM SHADOW!" Shaggy shouted as the Black Knight made his way towards him.
"So you two knaves survived that nice little fall huh? Too bad for you that you'll never see the rest of your little friends again. The Nightmare Master has them safely guarded. For now I have an important errand to attend to, why not say hello to my new friend? Come the Glasburgh Dragon seize them!" The Black Knight commanded as a rumble was heard.
Outside a very large black dragon and a dark purple stomach with red eyes was setting some of the villages on fire. It was what the dragon had on his head and tail that gotten the attentions of Shaggy and Twilight.
On the head was a small purple and green dragon, and on the tail was a lady wearing an orange sweater, square glasses, and brown hair. The Glasburgh Dragon had Spike and Velma as his captives.
"Get us down!" Spike said as the Glasburgh Dragon burned a certain spoiled stallion to a crisp. The Glasburgh Dragon snarled as he seen Shaggy and Scooby and stomped towards the group.
Shaggy and Scooby gulped in fear as the dragon readied his fire breath. Thankfully Princess Celestia made a shield around the group as the Glasburgh Dragon unleashed it's attack.
The Black Knight grumbled in anger at the shield and gotten on the Dragon's back to escape with their captives.
The Phantom Shadow was still with the group however and he wasn't going to let them leave anytime soon.
"Now your mine mortals! The Graveyard beckons you two!" The Phantom Shadow said as he revealed his true form.
The Phantom Shadow was a floating green ghost with a black face with the same red eyes and mouth. He now had a chain on his left arm.
"You guys know how to get past this floating meanie?" Pinkie Pie asked Shaggy and Scooby as she she and the others backed away.
"I think I got an idea," said Shaggy as he reached inside his pockets for something.
The Shadow was close to the group when Shaggy brought out a flashlight and shined it. The light blinded the Phantom Shadow long enough for Shaggy and Scooby to get the ponies and get out of the room.
Celestia was confused on why these two beings are familiar with the recent fiends and chose to confront the two.
"Care to explain how you know so much about these creatures?" Celestia asked the two and was filled in on their past mysteries as well as the new foe.
"If this Nightmare Master supposed to have known all of your past foes, then that should mean that we should start finding your friends." Celestia said to Shaggy.
"Well the only one that we know about is that the Glasburgh Dragon has Velma and a smaller dragon. Like me and Scooby are not good in making plans," said Shaggy as he shrugged his shoulders.
Ponyville
Zecora was panting as she looked around for Twilight. The zebra eventually found the Alicorn with two strange beings.
"Twilight, I need your help. A gator with yellow eyes and walks on two legs attacked my hut." Zecora said and a gulp got her attention.
""D-did y-ou say w-alks on two le-gs?" Shaggy whimpered as Scooby did his gator impersonation.
Unfortunately for the two, Scooby described the fiend head on. "Oh great not Gator Ghoul, how many of our past foes did that Nightmare guy make?" Shaggy groaned as he and Scooby face palmed.
Gator Ghoul appeared soon with some friends of his. A man sized single green eyed monster made of tar, an electrical orange ghost with blue sparks, a glowing green flying dinosaur, three walking skeletons with a single slit eye, and a creature that had the head of a jaguar and the body of an ape.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk you should never ask that dear Shaggy," said Nightmare Master as he appeared. Shaggy and Scooby Doo grew wide eyed and yelped at the sight of the Nightmare Master.
Celestia sent the fiend a glare when she seen him. "So your this Nightmare Master that kidnapped Shaggy and Scooby's friends." Celestia said as she readied her horn.
The Nightmare Master snapped his fingers and disappeared. "Rere did he go?" Scooby asked as Gator Ghoul and the Pterodactyl Ghost got a little too close.
Gator Ghoul got his left claw close to Scooby Doo for a second before he suddenly reached for his real intention. The Gator Ghoul grabbed Gummy and held him close to his side before rushing away.
The Pterodactyl Ghost grabbed Scooby's collar and flew off towards the clouds. "SCOOB!" Shaggy screamed as he tried to reach for his friend.
Authors Notes yes I'm ending it here. If your wondering why the Gator Ghoul kidnapped Gummy is because he thinks the little gator is his. Fun Fact the Pterodactyl Ghost was the first dinosaur ghost Scooby and the gang went up against.
