@sandstorm99@sstwinz lol, heck yeah. Shadow's a bit... Troubled. XD@creampuff--"Do you think there'd be an organized search party? That dumb old Celestia sent the town into panic. Nopony's going to want to search." Shadow sighed. "You want proof that I know what I'm doing? Alright..." Shadow though a moment, a devilish grin on her face. She closed her eyes, and whispered a spell. The amulet's ruby glowed softly, and Shadow's shadow rose from the ground at least 20 feet in the air, forming into the strangest monster Shadow had ever seen. Its beady red eyes glowed, and the shadow was so dark it looked tangible. Shadow broke out in a sweat, and released the magic, and the shadow collapsed. "How's that?" She panted. "Ever seen a pegasus use magic?"

@sandstorm99@ems Nice monster. 😃@creampuffLightning watched the filly create a shadow monster using an amulet around her neck. She didn't know if this was supposed to impress her or not. It was an interesting bit of magic, more than most unicorns were capable of. Of course, the filly was using the amulet, which meant that she had little control of what she was doing. But this filly was supposed to be the Element of Lies. Why was she using Dark Magic? She gently sidled up to the small pony. "Alright, I'll help you. But we need other ponies too, am I right?" She didn't particularly like Shadow, but she needed to get this filly to trust her, whatever it took.

@sstwinz Thanks. 😋@sandstorm99@creampuff--"Yeah... Hey Mid--" Shadow turned and cursed. "Lovely. So, who exactly are we looking for?" Shadow asked. Of course, Midnightblaze had deserted her. Just Shadow's luck. Now not only did she have to find Midnightblaze again, but she had to locate the other four elements as well!
sandstorm99 • 27 March 2013 at 4:07 PM
@sstwinz @ems Midnightblaze yelled at Golden. "We'll meet me at Town Square!" And she ran off to find Pepper. "Pepper？ Oh where are you now? PEPPER!!"
sstwinz • 27 March 2013 at 4:13 PM
@sandstorm99@ems How does Shadow know that Lightning's not an element? 😉@creampuff"I assumed you would know. After all, it was your idea to find the Elements in the first place. You must at least know what the Elements represent, am I right?" Of course, Lightning had a handy list of the Bearers of the Elements and what they represented, but she wasn't about to share that with Shadow.
sandstorm99 • 27 March 2013 at 4:16 PM
@sstwinz @sstwins @emsMidnightblaze quietly walked along the empty streets of Ponyville, searching for Pepper. He wasn't anywhere! Or was he?
sstwins • 27 March 2013 at 4:19 PM
@sandstorm99 Yay! You remembered me!@ems@creampuff@sstwinzPepper headed off back to his house when he heard some mare screaming his name from some side street. Her voice gradually grew more quiet, until she was silent. Well, good. Pepper didn't want to talk to anyone right now. He left the wild town center and headed off towards home.
ems • 27 March 2013 at 4:23 PM
@sstwinz UKGFUKG. I don't know... Shadow's assuming things I suppose. XD Or.... Blegh. ><@sandstorm99 Empty? Last I checked, everypony was panicking.@sstwins--Shadow rolled her eyes. "Duh. Lies, Disloyalty, Dark Magic, Grudges, Selfishness and Anger. I know I few of them, not all. Golden Glimmer is obviously selfish, I lie, Midnightblaze could be dark magic--I think--and Pepper is most certainly anger."
sstwinz • 27 March 2013 at 4:30 PM
@sandstorm99@ems Don't worry about it, she obviously isn't an element! @creampuff@sstwins Weclome back!"Oh really?" Lightning was surprised that this filly knew for sure in her mind who the Bearers were. "The Bearers could be anywhere, in any city in Equestria. Who says they're all in Ponyville?"
ems • 27 March 2013 at 4:37 PM
@sstwinz Oh good. XD@sstwins@sandstorm99--"Well does it look like I've been to the other cities? My best bet right now is to find the ponies most likely to be elements in this town right now. We don't have time to search, and we don't have time to get from city to city. If these ponies aren't the right ponies, then we'll talk about searching all of Equestria. Besides, these ponies are all extreme. Golden Glimmer could not care for anypony besides herself even if she wanted to. Pepper can't be nice to anypony. Midnightblaze is very into dark magic. I could lie to you right now and you wouldn't suspect a thing." Shadow explained, continuing her even trot through the streets."There! That's Pepper, come on!" Shadow cantered towards Pepper, who was walking along the streets alone.
sandstorm99 • 27 March 2013 at 4:47 PM
@ems @sstwinz @sstwinz @creampuff @taunterMidnightblaze was silent, and she sat alone on a park bench, wondering what was going on.Meanwhile, Celestia was busy fixing up things. She had ordered a few ponies to be her personal servants, and a few to redecorate. "Hurry! I want my name shining all over Ponyville!"The captives of Celestia, meanwhile, were trapped by themselves. Each was in an umbreakable cave, with no exits, nothing. Nothing would get them out. Luna was furious at her sister, not only had she decided to come back, but she locked them and held them captive! Meanwhile the other elements of Darkness were clueless!
sstwinz • 27 March 2013 at 4:48 PM
@sandstorm99 So sorry, but could you maybe tone Celestia down a bit? You can ignore this is you want, but she didn't really seem like the enslaving type. She just got back from being banished for a thousand years by her older sister! Again, feel free to ignore this. It's your roleplay, after all! 😊@ems @creampuff@sstwins Lightning Bolt ran up to Shadow, putting a hoof on the filly's shoulder and spinning her around to face her. "And I could lie to you just as easily. How sure are you that these ponies are the Bearers of the Elements? If you get it wrong, all of you could be killed. There isn't going to be a second chance if you mess this up. Do you really want to be held responsible for killing innocent ponies?" She looked the filly steadily in the eyes, staring her down.
sandstorm99 • 27 March 2013 at 4:54 PM
@sstwinz xD I was thinking she would be an evil Celestia..? Mm.. Like she could be furious and gone mad from those years locked up and gone? SHe could have turned rabid and mad? xD THat's just what I was thinking.. I can still change it though. 😊@ems@sstwins@featherstar_stormclan@taunterMidnightblaze sat up. "Zanna!" SHe cried out loud, then galloped away to where Zanna was staying in Ponyville
ems • 27 March 2013 at 4:55 PM
@sstwinz@sandstorm99@sstwins--Shadow looked confidently up at Lightning. "If I'm wrong, then I deserve to die. I'm confident that these are the right ponies. And, you did in fact say you know who the elements are. So really if I'm wrong, and you didn't tell me, it's your fault, not mine." She stepped away from the pegasus. "Ready to tell me who they are?" Shadow asked.
sstwinz • 27 March 2013 at 5:02 PM
@sandstorm99 Well, it is your idea, so I won't say anything. Should I go back and edit my first post though? Because I had her crying! And the whole spy network wouldn't really work if she had gone mad... Still, your idea! I won't interfere with it! 😃@ems Wait, Lightning never said she knew who the Bearers were! She just said she knew where the Elements were located! 😱 Oh, and Lightning never introduced herself to Shadow! Just noticed that!@creampuff@sstwins "It's your choice." Lightning said softly. "But I never said I knew who the Bearers were. As a matter of fact, I have no idea." She looked the filly right in the eyes as she said this, daring Shadow to contradict her. "I'm not sure how willing I'd be to go off with you if you said I was an Element Bearer. You haven't even asked my name."
ems • 27 March 2013 at 7:13 PM
@sstwinz Double whoopsies. XD@sandstorm99@sstwins*lazy*--Shadow's eyes blazed. "Then tell me where they are! I'm not gathering these ponies unless I'm sure, Ms. Know-It-All! If they're all in Ponyville, then I know who they are for a fact! But if they aren't, screw it! Nopony else is going to help; none of them are brave." She dug her hoof into the ground. "And I don't care that I haven't asked for your name. We're in a crisis!" Shadow was so frustrated."Screw it. Just screw it." She muttered. "You aren't volunteering that info anytime soon, and I don't have time for this!" Shadow turned and strode off towards Pepper again.
sstwinz • 27 March 2013 at 7:40 PM
@sandstorm99@ems Way to go, you managed to make Lightning seriously ticked off. 😊@creampuff@sstwins Lightning grabbed the filly again, this time gripping her shoulder and digging into it with her hoof. "I'm perfectly aware that a crisis is going on. Maybe you just need to calm down a little." She said in a slightly hissing tone. "I'm not revealing the location of the Elements until you have them gathered and me convinced that they are the right ponies." She dug her hoof even harder into the filly's shoulder. "And my name is Lightning Bolt. You'd do well to remember it. Now, go talk to Pepper. Amaze me." She released the filly.
ems • 27 March 2013 at 7:49 PM
@sstwinz And you made Shadow even angrier. XD@sandstorm99@sstwins--Shadow whirled on Lightning. "I'm not doing this to amaze you. I'm doing it for Luna. And if you touch me again I'll blow you to bits." She snarled, and stalked off towards Pepper. "Pepper!" She yelled, trotting over.
sstwins • 27 March 2013 at 7:53 PM
@sandstorm99@ems @sstwinz Ooo, the tension is high!@creampuffPepper whipped around and glared at the approaching mare. "What?" He barked, equally matching the filly's volume, if not a little higher.
ems • 27 March 2013 at 7:58 PM
@sstwins XD Shadow's a filly.@sstwinz@sandstorm99--Shadow thought for a moment. "This is going to sound stupid, but you know how Celestia just came back? Well, we gotta get the elements of darkness together. And you're the angriest pony I've met. So we think you're the element of anger, and we kind of need your help." Shadow explained as she approached. /This had better freaking work./ She thought bitterly.
sstwins • 27 March 2013 at 8:07 PM
@sandstorm99@ems @sstwinz@creampuff"You're right, that does sound pretty stupid. Why should I help you? And what would 'we' even be doing? Oh, and who are you anyway?" Pepper was pretty ticked. Did this little filly even know who he was?
ems • 27 March 2013 at 8:14 PM
@sstwins@sstwinz@creampuff@sandstorm99@featherstar_stormclan--"Well we'd be confronting Celestia so darkness can rule forever, and we'll save Princess Luna and the other ponies who have disappeared. You should help because Princess Luna needs your help and without you we can't restore the darkness. And my name's Shadow." Shadow said, trying to answer all the questions quickly. She knew Pepper would probably refuse, but it was worth a shot.
featherstar_stormclan • 27 March 2013 at 11:16 PM
@sandsotrm99 Zanna in hte Everfree forest right now...Zanna felt a strange warmth on her back. She shook her wings trying to shake it off. Since she could'nt see she had no idea what this was.
sstwinz • 28 March 2013 at 12:29 AM
@ems Woah, I just realized how much Lightning sounded like Pepper up there!! 😱 I'm a little scared now...scared of my own character...@sstwins What did you do to Lightning??? 😃@creampuff@sandstorm99@featherstar_stormclanLightning watched the filly walk up to Pepper, where they seemed to have an intense conversation. Shadow just didn't get along with ANYONE, did she? Lightning watched Shadow with narrowed eyes. It took a lot to get her to blow up like that. She had almost blown her cover. It looked like Pepper was getting pretty ticked off as well. Lightning liked him already.
sstwins • 28 March 2013 at 12:41 AM
@sandstorm99@ems Sorry if Pepper's a little out of character. 😱@sstwinz Heh heh. Sorry! 😃@creampuff@featherstar_stormclan"No." Pepper said and turned away from Shadow. This conversation obviously needed no further prolonging. "Just find some other pony who's angry. Can't you see that I'm busy? I do have a life. I can't just run off with anypony who says that they're sent by the 'all powerful Luna' and 'need my help'." Pepper began to stalk away.
ems • 28 March 2013 at 12:46 AM
@sstwins O.O I was expecting an explosion. 😋@sstwinz LOL. xD@featherstar_stormclan@sandstorm99 REPLY ON SMILE! D:@creampuff--Shadow followed him. "But I can't just find any old angry pony! I need the angriest pony in Equestria! And you fit the discription quite well, and that 'life' of yours will be ruined by Celestia unless you help." Shadow tried to persist. He couldn't just say no! The fate of all Equestria hung in the balence, and this stallion has a 'life' to live?!
sstwins • 28 March 2013 at 12:55 AM
@sandstorm99@ems Like I said, Pepper's a little out of character. I'll try to get back into it though. 😉 @sstwinz @creampuff@featherstar_stormclanPepper turned back to the tiny filly. "Angriest pony in Equestria? Well, thanks for the amazing compliment. I'm just soo excited to join your little posse now." Pepper rolled his eyes. "And I can live my life just fine. Alone. The whole freakin' sun could crash into the building next to my house, and I wouldn't care." Pepper whirled back around and headed to his house. "I'm going to go practice. Good bye."
sstwinz • 28 March 2013 at 12:58 AM
@ems @sstwins @creampuff@sandstorm99@featherstar_stormclanLightning smiled as Pepper began to walk away from Shadow. He really looked like the pony that she wanted to get to know. Hopefully he'd respond to her better than Shadow had. She ran a little to catch up with him. "Hey, I saw your little 'talk' with Shadow." She said, approaching him, a slight smile on her face. "Isn't she just the worst?"
ems • 28 March 2013 at 12:59 AM
@sstwins Okey dokey. 😋 I feel like I should take him by force.. XD But I don't know how that would work out. Oh well.@sstwinz That stung. XD@featherstar_stormclan@sandstorm99@creampuff--Shadow frowned. "That's too bad for you." She said, trying to use the amulet. Squeezing her eyes shut in concentracion, Shadow was able to erect a wall of darkness right in front of Pepper's front door. "Because you HAVE to come with us."She heard Lightning's words, and her wall crumbled. "Oh."
sstwins • 28 March 2013 at 1:08 AM
@sandstorm99@ems 😉 Better hurry and use your force! If it would even work... I suppose that depends on if its a magical enchantment or not. 😃@sstwinz @creampuff@featherstar_stormclan"Yeah sure, the worst of the worst." Pepper trotted a little faster to get away from the pegasus, opened up his door and stepped inside the door frame. "Well, it has been just marvelous chatting with you ladies." He took a step further into the house and prepared to swing the door shut behind him.
