My Little Pony: The Acceptance of Friendship

My Little Pony: The Acceptance of Friendship

Chapter 18
Eternal Darkness


Neo and the ponies left the cave and went back to an empty Ponyville, since Ponyville existed, the city has never been empty, all the ponies were in their homes, staying off the street for fear that they might get killed by the clown men or they might accidentally get killed during a fight or a shootout, Neo knew that whoever is behind this attack is targeting the princesses and he had to go and save them before it's too late, but he didn't want to endanger his friends, so he thought it was best if the ponies stay in Ponyville and stay in their houses for their own protection, the ponies wanted to help, Neo didn't want to risk losing them, he gave them all a hug and promising them that he would be okay and he loved them all, each pony gave him a kiss for good luck, which made Neo blush, then Neo flew off to Canterlot Castle, the ponies watched him fly away until he was out of sight, they were worried that something might happen to him, but they had to have faith, they believed in him and they knew that he would do whatever he could to save Equestria, meanwhile, several clown men came into the cave to see what happened, they saw all the dead bodies of clown men, including Lucinda, one of the clown men grieved over Lucinda, he took of his mask and made an angry face, he was make Neo pay for killing Lucinda, the man's name was Simon Flanders, he was a loyal Satan worshiper and he had involved in numerous arsons, murders, and blood sacrifices, he was the clown man that was trying to kill Neo along with other clown men, but his boss wanted Neo alive, but Simon wanted to kill him despite what the boss wanted, and now he really wants Neo dead, Neo flew to Canterlot Castle and he got there in less than 10 minutes, Neo ran inside the castle holding a machine gun, he searched the castle for the princesses, surprisingly, all the guards were gone, Neo went into Princess Celestia's throne room and she wasn't there, Princess Luna wasn't anywhere in site either, meanwhile in Ponyville, the girls were at Twilight's house, cleaning up the huge mess that occurred when they got captured and the 3 dead bodies of clown men that attacked Neo in the house, there was a lot of blood to clean, as they cleaned, the girls contemplated and discussed what they should do, they wanted to help in some way, back at Canterlot Castle, Neo couldn't find the princesses, then he found a private room in the castle that only the princesses were allowed in, he listened through the door and heard some men's voices, then he heard a female voice begging them to let them go, it sounded like Princess Luna, Neo wanted to help her, but he couldn't just barge in there and start fighting and shooting, God knows how many clown men are in that room, then he heard Celestia's voice in the room too, she wanted to refuse them, but she had no choice but to do what they wanted, inside the room, the clown men had put collars on Celestia and Luna's necks the color was lighting up and it prevented them from using any magic whatsoever, the clown men said if they try to remove the collars, the collars will self destruct and kill them, Celestia and Luna were powerless to them and there was nothing they could do to stop them, Neo was their only hope, Neo heard somebody coming, he ran and hid, he saw the person go into the room, he went back to the door and listened, it was the boss of the clown men, he was a serial killer and Satan worshiper named Richard Ramirez, and he was behind this attack, he revealed his plan to the princesses, Neo listened through the door, Richard said his plan was raise hell on Equestria, it was already evening time, so Richard ordered Princess Celestia to set the sun, Celestia refused at first, but Richard said she had to do what he says because he has accomplices on the grounds of Ponyville, and is she refused to do what he says, he will tell the accomplices to blow up Ponyville, Celestia had no choice, Richard had to deactivate her collar of her to set the sun, but he warned her not to try anything or he will blow up Ponyville, so Princess Celestia made the sun go down and she had a look of shame on her face, after the sun was set, Richard quickly activated her collar again, now the sky was dark, but Richard did not allow Luna to raise the moon, he wanted eternal darkness over Equestria, it was part of his plan, and so and the entire land of Equestria was surrounded in darkness with no light whatsoever, Neo heard everything, he said, "Jesus."and was scared, he ran off so he wouldn't get caught, Richard left the room and went to Celestia's throne room, then Simon Flanders came into the room, Richard wanted to see Simon, but Richard did not look happy, Simon said, "You wanted to see me Richard." Richard said, "Simon..... do you know why I'm such a happy person." Simon said, "No sir." Richard said, "Because I have the known as Satan's most loyal follower, I've killed people and spilled blood for him, and now I have this plan to raise hell over Equestria so that one day, evil will take over the entire world, as long as that happens, I can do anything I want.... anything, on the other hand, the only thing that worries me is, if this plan fails, it all might end....... AND YOU'RE FUCKING MAKING IT HAPPEN, first you try to kill Neo and then you let him get away." Simon said, "He's already killed many of our men." Richard said, "I know that." Simon said, "But I thought.." Richard cut him off and said, "Who told you to think, I don't give you enough information to think, you do what you're told, that's what you do." Simon put his head down in shame and said, "Yes sir." Richard sat down in Celestia's throne and said, "Let's get down to business, we're going to conjure up a demon that can raise hell over Equestria, when that happens, evil power will overwhelm this land, we have to make sure that happens, do you think you can play along?" Simon smiled and said, "Yes sir." Richard said, "Great.... because otherwise I'll erase your ass." Simon made an angry look, meanwhile, Neo was hiding somewhere in the castle and trying to come up with a plan to stop the Richard and the clown men, a few minutes later from outside the castle, a gigantic elevator like object appeared, it opened up, Minnie Mouse came running out of there along with 20 other people, they were Mortal Kombat warriors that were going to help Neo save Equestria, the warriors were Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Raiden, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Stryker, Kung Lao, Kabal, Cyrax, Quan Chi, Kitana, Reiko, Mileena, Shang Tsung, Sheeva, Kenshi, Nightwolf, Reptile, Sonya and Jax, they ran inside the castle, Neo came out to them, he told them what was going on and they had to free the princesses, they went to the private room where the princesses were being held hostage, they barged inside, the clown men in the room started shooting at them, the warrior dodged the bullets and fought the clown men, Richard and Simon heard the commotion and they ran out of the castle to get reinforcements, the warriors killed all the clown men, Celestia and Luna were happy that they were being saved, Neo found a key on one of the clown men, he used to unlock the collar off of Celestia, he tried it on Luna's collar, but the collar wouldn't unlock, Luna said that Richard had the key to Luna's collar, Richard wanted to make sure that Luna can't raise the moon, then everybody (and everypony) in the room ran out and went to Celestia's throne room, Celestia said that she and Luna would stay here and see if they could do anything to help, Celestia wasn't able to raise the sun after she had already set it for the night, a few minutes later, Richard and Simon came back with 100's of clown men to attack the castle, the Mortal Kombat warriors ran out and started fighting them, Neo had to get out of there pretty quick, Neo hugged Luna and promised her that he will do everything in his power to save Equestria, Luna believed in him and she had complete faith in him, and so did Celestia, Celestia gave Neo a kiss to bless him with good luck, Neo had Minnie guard the princesses and she won't let any clown men or Simon or Richard in there to harm them, Neo was on his way to confront Richard and stop him, meanwhile, Richard and Simon was contemplating on what they should do not, Neo freed Princess Celestia and he was afraid that she might interfere with his plan, so he decided that Neo and the princess must be eliminated, Simon said, "We have to do something." Richard thought for a second, the he said to Simon, "Alright...... kill him, and kill the princesses." Simon took out his gun and said, "It's about goddamn time." and Simon went to get a few clown men to hunt down Neo and Princess Celestia, Neo knew what he was up against, he thought to himself, "The land is getting worse, if I don't do anything, we're all fucked." what do you think is going to happen next, can Neo save Equestria, will he be able to stop Richard from raising hell over Equestria, or will darkness roam over Equestria for all eternity, find out in the next exciting chapter.
