chapter fiveL death of a friend

the mares made their way down the street, carfeully avoiding the monsters as they rushed past. at least the undead weren't the only ones livjng here: there was a whole colony of giant spiders scattered on werbs over the houses, and they hissed at the mares as they went by. their bpodies were 1 and a half feet long, and their legspans were foive feet. fluttershy accidently flew into one of their webs, and the silk was strong as dental floss man! it could easily wrap up a human, and rarity couldve sworn she saw a humanoid fiugre wrapped up in spider silk in the shadows...

the ponies finally reached the tower, which was on its own little isalnd off the village, connected via a tiny stone bridge. there were graves next to the tower and fluttershy started crying, remembering that she forgot to feed her pets before she left ponylville.

"y'all ready for this?" apple jack asked, hoof on the door.

"yes" they all said, except twilight, who was silent.

applejack looked back at her friend. "you alright?"

"yeah," twilight insisted. "i'll be fine. let's just get this over with."

spplejack complied and opened the door. twilight just couldnt puther hoiof on it... something felt bad about this place.

the mares stepped inside. it was pretty well lit inside from the light from outsaide outside. there were also more dpiders inside and it freaked rarity ou so applejack hugged her tightly. applejack's musculart heaving horse chest calmed rarity down instantly.

"hello?" aled twilight.

nothing... the ponies stepped a little farther inside. then pjunkie pie tripped on a spider and fell over!

"INTRUDEEEERS!" hissed something evil.

"that don't sound good!" apple jack said.

suddenly a black mist showed up in the middle of the room, and a grim reaper like figure with wingx appaerd inside!

"who are you?" twilight demanded.

"I AM LOOOORRD NIGHTSHAAAAAADE!" boomed the skelethreat. "I WAS MALISTAIRE'S RIGHT HAND MAN... AND I HAVE BEEN TASKED WITH DESTROYING YOU POOOOONIES AND KEEPING YOU FROM FOILING OUR PLAAAAAAN!"

"was?" twilight asked. "who's the right hand man now?"

"me." said a voice in the darkness.

twilight and her friends looked toward the voice... and saw the mysterious figure who led them to the cave in the furst place!

"who are you?" pinkie asked, nervous.

"really, pinkie?" the figuer asked, sounding unamused. "it's been two hours and you've already forgotten your own FRIEND?!" said and ripped off the cloak. it was rainbow dash!

"rainbow dash?" apple jack said, confused. "whaddarya doin, workin with this no good wraith?"

"look no furhter than our resident friendship counselor!" rainbow dash shouted, pointer hoff at twilight. "she kicked me in the freakin chops, and ive had it with being just an add on to her heroism all the time! i dont deserve to play second fiddle to a backstabbing jerk like her!"

twilight looked sad and foight back tears. "rainbow dash... i... i didnt mean to..."

"FOCK YOU!" rainbow dash shouted, tears running down her blue cheeks. "i'm no longer rainbow dash... i am... RAINBOW DEATH!" she shouted, streatching her arms out and turning grayscaled all over. her body was black and her mane and tail were a rainbow of grays, like rainbow the clown.

rainbow's friends weere terrified at the rranfforsmation, and shrieked in fear. a dueling ciurcle glowed to life on the floor and eryone kjoined.

this was the ponies first time fighting a boss, so it was going to be tricky. but it was still five against two. lord nightashade cast himself and hit pinkie for 200 damage points but for pinkie that was nothing. rainbow death cast scarecrow and hit everyone for 300 damage points and then pinkie started tohurt.

"coming ponkie" said fluterhsy and cast unicorn. shining sentry, twilight's brother, showed up and healed evreypone for 250 points. but she lost all her pips and twilight hadn't pulled powerplay into her deck yet!

applejack passed but rarity got a power pip in the beginning and cast ice snake. it bit rainbow dash in the neck, but she was already imbued with the power of necromancy and it didnt hurt!

"malistaire wont like you messing me up," rainbow death warned.

"you shouldnt be working eith ihm, rainbow!" rarity warned. "he's evil! like socks and sandals!"

"HEY!" lord nightsdhade said. "I'M WEARINT SOCKS ANDS A SDSADHSNDSDLKS!" (oh no im so sorry! i was workingr until late at night and fell aslep at my desk. i meant to say, "i'm wqearing socks and sandsals!" thank you! c:) ps does the smilie with the closing parenthesis look like a caveman to you?

lord nightsahde lifted his skirt and showed off his socks and sandals. after rainbow dash cast ice shield n herself lord nightsahde angrily cast bone dragon on all the marees! it wouldve been instadeath, but he neglected to notice that twilight had cast death shield on all her friedns! the pure power of freindsdhip absorped all the damge from the dragon.

"big mistake, bone bitch." twilight said and cast judgement! she had only a few pips but lord nightshade is like the weakest boss but rattleboines is even worse, everyone hates him. but judgement with three pips was more than enough to blow lord nightshade down.

"AAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEHHHHHH!" he hissed, in severe pain

rainbow death winced against the force of judgement, but when the attack was ovur she ran to lord nightshade and held him in her arms. he was weak, but if she got him to malistaire soon, he might live.

"please, rainbow!" twilight pled with her friend, "come back, i'm so sorry! you don't belong with amlistaire, you belong with us!"

rainbow death bared her teeth, looking from her gravely wounded teammate, to her once best frend. "NEVER!" she said, and flew into the air. "you want to stop malistaire so badly? fine then! come to his lair, in the heart of the dying world, dragonspyre! see you in the fiery pits of hell!" she said. "oh... and a parting gift," she said, and cast helephant on twiligjt! then cast a teleportation spell and both she and the dying wraith vasnished.

"gasp!" said twilight as the giant elephant demon prepared to swung it's blade at her!

"no, TWI!" apple jack said, and jumped in front of the attack ant took it for twilight.

"APPLEJACK!" twilight shouted, rushing to her friend's limp orange silhouette on the ground.
