The Re-Rise of Starswirl

Starswirl is appearing to have tremendous difficulty convincing certain ponies in Equestria that he really is the returning Starswirl, with everyone convinced that he is long dead and that he's just a very convincing wannabe that just so happens to be REALLY good at magic. Worse off, he had to deal with Starswirl Look-alikes that are fan creations that are scorned at him for being the "Canon Starswirl" and are giving him the most scorn. So, he turns to Twilight and friends to prove his authenticity. However, things take the turn for the worse, as all this is actually the result of a disgruntled future jester named Chad Puns, a young donkey, who was picked on by Starswirl fans for being a terrorable comedian and left him to seek out the comfort of a book Starswirl was sure was gone for good, called The Tartarus Journal, a sentient, trash-talking evil book of Tartaric origin with the ability to summon the worse of evil monsters from Equestia's past, as it corrupted Chad into 'Punzor', and allowed the journal to begin exacting revenge onto Starswirl and all of Starswirl's followers for his eternal humiliation by selling out Stygian to a familiar face: a dark priest from Hollow Shades named Bishop Dipper, an old enemy of Starswirl who has started embracing darkness since he was wronged by him long ago and aims to undo all of which he did during the Great Fear War intending to summon Taraxippuses, the ponies' previous image of the Boogeyman before Pitch, through a religion that worships Prince Woeus, the Alicorn good of fear and hate, knowing that his darkness would make him a Taraxippus far stronger than any other Pony of Shadows beforehand as his previous battle was not easy, and should he become so, it will not be realistically possible to stop him, and with the help of the Tartarus Journal and Chad, he may finally get that chance, not knowing that they'll be tapping into something that will do more than release it's own race, the Taraxippus, or ghosts that scare ponies by choosing a host and using their magic to fuel their powers, as they used to be almost released by Pitch, who was aligned with the Pony of Shadows during the Great Fear War, as he attempted to spread fear through the Taraxippus, and with this threat on the horizon and located within a haunted hippodrome once encountered by one of Starswirl's old students Zodiac Cloud when he fought another Taraxippus, the Pillars, Mane 6 and Lodgers must stop these threats from using this power to unleash untold fear upon Equestria, and might find the key to defeating them from a poor soul named Doldrumsta Blue, the previous Pony of Shadows before Stygian with a lot to lose.

Chapter 1: Starswirl Returns and Consults Twilight
Millennia Ago... A millendia later. Nightmare Night Party at Twilight's castle. Elsewhere. Flashback into Starswirl's memory..... Flashback ends. Cutaway Present Later... Castle Party
 * (Chronicler): Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.. Rudyard Kipling, circa 19th-20th Century. Fear. It is appropriate for this time of year. But it's our biggest power and nightmare. The most terrifying monster than any monster ever known. None such embraced fear, like Pitch Black, the fabled Boogeyman. For eons, he was embittered by being obscured by nobody believing him. He went to other worlds to restore what he lost in the Dark Ages. One of the biggest victims, was Equestria. (He was seen causing fear, hate, and xenophobia to ponies and other races) Black magic of Equestria restored his name. But he was not the only Boogeyman in Equestrian history. The ones of initial history lie within the Woe Hippodrome. (Such was seen)
 * Bishop Pony: (Ponies were seen doing a religious ceremony with a familiar pony tied to a crucifix)... Hmph.
 * Saint Pony:... I sensed a lot of darkness inside him, Bishop Dipper.
 * Bishop Dipper: As did I. It's all over his face. Betrayal. Jealousy. Abandon.... Hate. Of all the ponies whose purity is so low... The one called Stygian... Volunteers to do the ritual. Who would've guessed that the one to arrive for such a job would be the brother of the previous Pony of Shadows herself?
 * Stygian: I ONLY WANTED SOMETHING ELSE!!! I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS A FILTHY RITUAL TO A FILTHY FEAR GOD!!!
 * Saint Pony: BLASPHEMY!!!
 * Bishop Dipper: No, no, it's all in the religion. Woeus thrives in fear and hatred. Stygian doesn't understand. But he will. Stygian, you should be thankful. Fear is the only superpower in Equestria now, and the end of the Fear War will not change that. Races are at an uproar. There's nothing else for you.
 * Stygian: THIS IS NOT FOR ME, BISHOP, THIS IS FOR YOU!!! Starswirl told me all about you.
 * Bishop Dipper: Oh, you still listen to Starswirl, even if he turned on you. I warned him about his own pride and arrogance making him nothing but trouble, and you had to be the one to learn the hard way. You want to prove him wrong? This is the only way. To undo the victory at the end of the Fear War, and become the succession of the Pony of Shadows.
 * Stygian:... No. Absolutely NOT!! You're intending to make me JUST LIKE MY SISTER?!? NO!!! LET, ME, GO!!! (The ponies did an Old Ponish chant that changed him in black magic fire and turned him into the Pony of Shadows as everything turned black and the intro theme plays)
 * The School of Friendship was seen Nightmare Nightesed.
 * The Inter-racial students were seen dressed as the historic figures, Sandbar as Clover the Clever, Gallus as Grover, Yona as Yksler, Smolder as Knuckerbocker, Sliverstream as Ahura the Hippogriff, Ocellus as Mirage the Changeling, Shore as Queen Wavedancer, The Clones as the Pillers of Equestria, Gaster and his brothers as Chrysalis, Throx and Desteny, Quartz as Magmaticus, and Skyceria as her sister Prominade.
 * The entire group were seen walking down the hallway.
 * Suddenly, Segrego, Yakotaur, Wicked Dark Blacken Heart, Winger, and Finally Neighsay and his dope henchmen came from various doors and looked menacing!
 * Smolder: ".... I got this. (Grabs a baseball bat and ball and hits the ball with it, which knocks out all present villains in a fell swoop!) Booyah!"
 * The defeated foes suddenly poofed and turned into video game points.
 * Gaster: "You good news, Buzzy, your gizmo works like a charm."
 * Buzzord's voice: "Ah ha, I knew upgrading my simulation training center and making it expand into the entire school for cases like this "Nightmare Night" worked like a charm!"
 * Yakhalla's voice: "But did we REALLY needed to bring the Yakotaur back into this?"
 * Buzzord's voice: "Oh relax, Yakhalla, it's all in good fun! Now students, time to attend the party!"
 * The Group cheered and charged forth!
 * Many were seen enjoying the party, students, ponyvillains, Twilight and friends, even the Lougers and the Pillers were at full attendence.
 * Buzzord was seen as a blood-soaked mad sciencetist, Barktrot was in her "Barkrot" form, Yakhalla appeared as a norse viking, Spiracle took an unreformed appearence, Entropy appeared as Tyranny, Koningin kept serious and appeared as she does, Spoonful wrapped himself up as a mummy, and Electross look the appearence of General Grevious.
 * Applejack: "(Seen as Dorphey from the Wizard of Oz (To keep up with the theme of these halloween specials) as she saw the Interacial students) I just love your costumes. So, did Buzzord's little upgrade for the simulation center work?"
 * Gallus: "Unmistakenly. I almost mistook as the real deal."
 * Rainbow Dash: "(In a Washouts Uniform) Then this is gonna be a kick-ass Haunted School House."
 * Pinkie: "(As the Modern It Clown) This will be a Nightmare Night we'll never forget."
 * Twilight: "(Seen as Nightmare Moon) And the best part, the Pillars will be attending to see for themselves. Even Starswirl!..... Though I haven't seen him yet."
 * Flash Magnus: "Ahhhh, don't worry, Starswirl likes to be fastionably late, taking his sweet time. He was always more of a, take it easy kinda dude."
 * Rockhoof: "Aye, Starswirl was always abit of a sight-see-er. Kinda why he started moving about across Equestria."
 * Rarity: "(As a Ponyfived Maleficent) So I take it Starswirl's a traveler by heart."
 * Fluttershy: "(As her Hotdiggitydemon.Com Parody doppleganger) (Bad attempt at a deeper voice) Hey hey hey, stay out of my shed!"
 * Discord: "(Was seen as Mayhem)..... Fluttershy, darling, it's great you desided to give Nightmare Night another go, but please do not try to get into trying to actselly be scary, you'll end up getting carried away again."
 * Fluttershy: "Oh..... Sorry."
 * Spike: "(Dressed as a Roc) Still awesome you desided to show up, though. This promises to be the best Nightmare Night, ever."
 * Starlight suddenly showed up, looking psyco and in her pre-reformation appearence!
 * Starlight: "DEATH TO ALL CUTIE MARKS?! (Weilds a bloodied surgitcal knife!)"
 * The group gasped!
 * Starlight: "...... GOT YA?!"
 * Everyone laughed, though Fluttershy did a goat faint as Discord face-palmed.
 * Pinkie: "(Laughs)! You got us good, Starlight!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Though with Fluttershy, ya may had egged it too hard."
 * Starlight: "..... Oops."
 * Discord: "Oh don't worry, she'll learn..... Eventually."
 * Starlight: "So, is Starswirl here yet?"
 * Mistmane: "As always, he takes his sweet time. He'll be here shortly."
 * Starswirl walked across ponyville, looking abit distressed, as ponyvillains either pay him no mind or complimenting his "costume", likely mistaking him as a normal pony in a costume.
 * Starswirl sighed....
 * A Starswirl Convention was held.
 * Starswirl arrived.....
 * Starswirl: "..... Incrediable. A convention in dedication to my likeness. Never thought this time would offer this."
 * ???: "Well, well, well.... If it isn't the "Canon" poser."
 * Starswirl: "I beg your par- (Looks to see a collection of Fanon Starswirls. Each of them, unthrilled to see the real Starswirl)..... What product of the multiverse is THIS!"
 * A Starswirl with Discord's body showed up.
 * Starswirl: "..... Discord?! Oh, of course it's just you pranking me. Kindly undo your tricks and-"
 * "Discord": "I'm not exactly the Discord of this reality, 'Canon' Starswirl. We are the Starswirls of the Fanonverse, a place where fan creations are made. And we were the post Season 7 Starswirls and the earliest depictions back when you were a no-show..... But then you have to become canon! I, am Starcord. The Fanon depiction of the now debunked fan throey that "you" were turned into Discord after getting corrupted, depending on lore."
 * Starswirl: "..... There's a, universe where fan imagination exists? Astonding! I might visit there one day and study it's unique nature-"
 * Starcord: "UP UP UP?! I don't think you get it, Canon Starswirl..... You, are not popular with us..... You, debunked us. And in no thanks to the Canon Clause of both legal and illegal law systems, we're not allowed to sue you for debunking us?! You have any idea how painful it is for fan ideals to be rendered un-canon by offictal canon? AND THE PAIN OF BEING UNCANON ENTURNALLY?! We stop being loved. People would call us out for being inaccreate! We're debunked?! And do you know what happens when a fanon creation gets debunked?!"
 * Starswirl: "....... I-"
 * Starcord: "We get thrown, into the Debunker Zone! The exile realm of debunked fanons?! A purgatory of unapologentic hell?! That's what you basicly exsiled us to, Starswirl of Canon?!"
 * Starswirl: "I, I, I never meant for such a thing, I, I didn't even KNOW about your universe-"
 * Starcord: "Well now we're gonna get our justice?! We are going to kick your bearded ass?!"
 * Starswirl teleported away as the Fanon Starswirls were confused.
 * Starcord: "..... DON'T JUST STAND THERE LIKE YOUR THE FANON STARSWIRL OF THOSE CHILD CELESTIA AND LUNA COMICS WHERE HE'S TREATED LIKE THE BUTT OF JOKES?!"
 * The Very Fanon Starswirl: "HEY?!"
 * Starcord: "GO OUT AND FIND HIM?! FIND, HIM?!"
 * The Fanon Starswirls go forth to seek Canon Starswirl out, of which was seen hidden well, and looking miserable.
 * Starswirl sighed depressed......
 * Starswirl: "I cannot believe, my very existence, had lead to the malevolent suffering of others in another existence."
 * Starswirl passed by a gang of hooligans dressed like horrror Icons, Freddy Kruger, Jason, Leatherface, Pinhead, Michal Myers, Old It Clown, Chucky, Xenomorph, Predator, Terminator, and a leader that dresses like the Scream Killer.
 * Hooligan Leader: "..... Follow me, boys."
 * The Gang of Hooligans ran up to Starswirl and surrounded him, which got his attention.....
 * Hooligan Leader: "TRICK OR TREAT, MOTHERF****R?!"
 * Starswirl: "..... I'm pretty sure a lot of you are too old for trick-or-treating."
 * Hooligan Leader: "NO, GRAMPS?! We're looking to mug ya of your insurence granted money, oldster!? NOW PAY UP, OR YER GONNA WISH YOU STAYED IN THE HOME?!"
 * Starswirl: "..... Do you, even realize who I am?"
 * Hooligan Leader: "Tch, duh, just some sad old has-been of a pony pretending to be some long dead old guy! What, are you wearing that get'up and the fake beard for your grandkids, oldster?! (The Hooligans laughed!)"
 * Starswirl: ".... I don't think I like your attatude, young man."
 * Hooligan Leader: "Oh yeah? Well I don't like it when people I'm mugging, don't pay up?! (Grabs Starswirl's beard) Just for that, I'm messing with that fake-ass beard of yers! (Pulls on it, but it won't move) URRRGH?! UGH?! UGGGGGHHH?! GOOD GREIF, OLDSTER, WHAT, DID YA SUPER-GLUE A FAKE BEARD ON YERSELF?! I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S FUCKING DANGERIOUS?!"
 * Starswirl: I AM GOING TO TURN YOU INTO THE ACTUAL THINGS YOU MISCREANTS DRESSED UP AS IF YOU DO NOT UNHOOF ME THIS INSTANT!!!
 * Hooligan Leader: THAT'S JUST WHAT THE PHILOSOPHIA'S WITNESS SAID!!! (Starswirl turned them each into the icons they were dressed up as minus the powers)
 * Scream Killer:... EEEEEEKKK!!!
 * Starswirl: Did you think I was joking? I am the real Starswirl the Bearded. So, for the rest of the night and tomorrow, you will be stuck in those forms as punishment for daring to cross me.... (The Hooligan monsters laughed)
 * Freddy Krueger: Yeah, and I'm Freddy Krueger.
 * Tim Curry Pennywise: You ARE Freddy Krueger.
 * Freddy Krueger: You know what I mean, you dumb yot.
 * Starswirl: I speak the truth.
 * Xenomorph: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!! (He scared ponies away)...
 * Predator: ("Ugh, poor guy can't spea-... WAIT, WHAT THE F*** AM I SAYING?!?")
 * Chucky: Whatever. You can't fool us. Starswirl the Bearded has been dead for a millennia.
 * Starswirl:... HAS NOPONY EVER TOLD ANYPONY ELSE ABOUT MY TRAVELS?!
 * The Fanonverse Starswirls were seen debunking his existence with lies while a silhouetted figure watched.
 * Starswirl: For Gods' sakes, I performed a transformation spell that could hardly be purely mastered before me.
 * Jason: Well how do we know you did only because you're the old geezer's descendant?
 * Starswirl: OLD GEEZER?!? HOW DARE YOU?!?
 * Terminator: F*** you asshole, you're not fooling anypony. Stop trying to convince us your somepony else. You'll only desecrate his grave because of it.
 * Starswirl: WHA, HOW ARE YOU NOT GETTING THIS?! I TURNED YOU INTO MONSTERS!!! (Everypony was distraught by that and throw things at him in disapproval as he enters the School of Friendship)... My word. This is certainly not my day. Could this get worse?
 * Evil Laughter was heard as The Pony of Shadows appeared and laughed at him!
 * Starswirl: "AGGGGHAAAAAAA?! OH NO?! STYGIAN?! DID THAT DARKNESS CAME BACK AND TURN YOU INTO THE PONY OF SHADOWS AGAIN?! DON'T WORRY, YOUNG WARD?! I'LL SAVE YOU?! (Charged at the Pony of Shadows and tried to jump into him, but ended up disappating what turned out to be a hologram and ended up crashing into suits of armor) D'OH?!"
 * ???: "Oh confound it, what now?!"
 * Igmar, Kurtle, Pines, Aloe and Vertex arrived.
 * Pines: ".... OMG, It's Starswirl the Bearded!"
 * Igmar: "Keep in mind that it's Nightmare Night. It could just as easily be someone in a costume."
 * Starswirl looked sadden.
 * Starswirl: "Please, I know there is a suspitious air of doubt, but, believe me, I am Starswirl the Bearded! I ended up here because some hooligans tried to mug me, I cursed them into monster icons, they refused to believe me that I'm Starswirl, then the ponies began to boo me into here, AND NOW SYTGIAN HAS BEEN RE-CORRUPTED BACK INTO THE PONY OF SHADOWS WHEN I ENTERED THIS SCHOOL?! I TRIED TO HELP, BUT HE VANISHED UNDER A STRANGE MAGIC?!"
 * Kurtle: "..... Wow, the Professor's upgrade to the sumulation center worked like a charm."
 * Starswirl: "..... I, beg your pardon?"
 * Aloe: "Well, you see Mr. Starswirl..... Maybe it's best we just show you. Come follow us."
 * Starswirl: So, you're using this simulation center this "Professor Buzzord" made awhile back to turn the school into a 'haunted house' using simulated non-magic thaumagrams?
 * Aloe: They're called holograms, and yes. Stygian is okay.
 * Kurtle: So, um, why're you claiming to be Starswirl?
 * Starswirl:... You cannot be this blind.
 * Igmar: We can see fine, actually.
 * Starswirl:... What kind of school is Twilight running?
 * Pines: "Not the first time that question as been asked."
 * Starswirl: "..... Look, can I please see Twilight Sparkle, I'm.... Being very distressed lately."
 * Aloe: "But alcourse. If your troubled, then she can help. She's at the party in the castle."
 * The group lead Starswirl off.
 * Po was seen doing a bobbing for apples game, and used his roomy cheeks to store the entire apple selection into his mouth!
 * Mantis: "SERIOUSLY, DUDE?! I MAY'VE SAID THIS BEFORE ONCE, BUT YOU HAVE THE CHEEKS OF A CHIPMONK?!"
 * Applejack: "..... (To Big Mac) We're gonna need some fresh apples."
 * Gallus, Smolder, and Gaster were seen collecting candy from the party snack table to enjoy later.
 * Sandbar was seen dancing with Shore on a Nightmare Night dance floor.
 * Icky was seen drinking himself stupid with soda!
 * Gazelle was seen in a Natrisha Adams like attire as Duke Weaselton was in a Zoot Suit with his face painted green, imitating the Mask.
 * Lord Shen: "Sparkle, this is indeed a very charming party."
 * Twilight: "That means so much, Shen. I just wish Starswirl's here."
 * Lord Shen: "Oh worry not, you have been ensured that he has a history of arriving late, this is nothing out of the ordenary for him."
 * ???: F*** F*** F*** S*** F*** GODSDAMN F*** SONOVA S*** F*** C*** AND THEIR F*****G TITS, F***!!!! (Starswirl and his accompanying group came in covered in apples and junk)
 * Aloe: GREAT GAIA, THOSE GUYS ARE MERCILESS!!!
 * Igmar: Kinda unfriendly for a land all about friendship.
 * Kurtle was seen enjoying an apple, then got confused.
 * Kurtle: "You mean it's not costomary to throw free food at people?"
 * Pine: "(Pulls an apple off of a Quill and enjoys abit of it as well) I kinda wish it was though."
 * Rockhoof: "..... Okay Starswirl, what bit of trouble did ya ended up going through this time to make ponies mad at you?"
 * Flash Magnus: "Did ya ended up pulling another Meadowshire insodent where you criticised the village leader of her personal beliefs on magic."
 * Rarity: "Meadowshire?"
 * Mage Meadowbrook: "Don't ask, child. Complicated story."
 * Starswirl: "It's not another Meadowshire fiasco..... Though it's such as troubling as one."
 * Twilight: "Oh, Starswirl, what happened?"
 * Starswirl: "I'm afraid to say. A lot of you may be doubtful of me."
 * Shifu: "Starswirl, you are in the presence of those that seen the impossable. There will be no air of doubt with us."
 * Starswirl: "..... (Sighs)..... Well, it all started a month prior before I found myself in Flimflam's school, when I attended a Starswirl Convention."
 * Icky: "Let me guess, none of the fans bought your claim that you're the real deal."
 * Starswirl: "It's..... Something abit more outrageous, I'm afraid...... Lougers, you have done some interdimentional travels, correct?"
 * Spongebob: "Well purely with the AUU and only recently the Mewni dimension, but yeah."
 * Starswirl: "..... I know this will sound, ludicrist even with this knowledge, but...... A collection of radically different versons of me that came from a realm known as-"
 * Sandy: "(Concerned) The Fanonverse?!"
 * Icky: "AWWWWWWWWW CRAP, NO?! NOT THE FANONVERSE AGAIN?!"
 * Starswirl: "So you knew?"
 * Lord Shen: "Ugh, WORSE than knowing of it. We have the misfortune of dealing with it's natives migrating into our UUniverses to sometimes give complaints about canon."
 * Squidward: "Let me guess, these fanon Starswirls are mad at you for debunking them by your mere existence, are they?"
 * Starswirl: "Oh, I am so releived you're no strangers to this!"
 * Iago: "Trust us, we wish we are! The Fanonverse can have both the best, AND THE WORSE, of fandoms! And we had the misfortune of ending up visiting the bad part first! UGGGHHHH?! THE BAD MEMORIES STILL HAUNT ME?!"
 * Applejack: "Beg yer pardon, but, what's exactly the Fanonverse?"
 * Mantis: "Remember those portals to those other alternate MLP:FIM universes in Hayfield 64?"
 * Rarity: "Yes."
 * Crane: "Well, the ones that aren't memetastic or creepypasta material, of which is part of the Memeverse, the others are only extentions of the Fanonverse, which is basicly a universe where fan ideals end up. It's where fan thoeries, ships, uncanon stories, and alcourse non-SAF OCs end up."
 * Icky: "And trust me, all ya need to know that the Fanonverse is devided to SFW and NSFW zones, and if you EVER have ANY REASON TO GO THERE, PLEASE, GO TO THE SFW ZONES, ONLY?!"
 * Rarity: ".... Oh, trust me, we know too well of the Bronies, over-fasination of us too well, to have an idea why you mean."
 * Starswirl: "As I was saying.... These "Fanon" Starswirls are hounding me, because my very existence has caust them woe. They-"
 * Lord Shen: "Were sent to the Debunker Zone?"
 * Spike: "Debunker Zone?"
 * Icky: "Basicly the Fanonverse' equilent to The Epic Mickey Wastelands and the Pixel Wastelands. But crawling with debunked fan ideals. And trust me.... They're just as pissy about being there as the Fanon Starswirls are."
 * Starswirl: "I just don't understand why they are so against me. It's not like I intended their suffering."
 * Shifu: "Of course not. You didn't even know they existed until they made themselves known. It's just that, like the Pixel Wasteland, The Debunker Zone has it's own wasteland guardian, known as the Fanon Guardian. It hunts down debunked fanons, and takes them to live in it's realm."
 * Starswirl: "Then how did those Fanon Starswirls get out?"
 * Gazelle: "Well other then the obvious answer that they're powerful wizards, that is a good question. Usually wasteland guardians do well to keep their occupents from leaving."
 * Barktrot: "Perhaps it's possable, they had help."
 * Applejack: "Don't you fret, Mr. The Bearded, we'll local those Fanon Starswirls and get answers."
 * Starswirl: "Well right now, them coming after me is not a sole problem. I think their presence and ponies having doubt I'm actselly Starswirl are connected."
 * Rarity: "Tecnecally, people had mistaken you as a Starswirl fan and/or Twilight's grandfather a lot of times."
 * Starswirl: "But when I started traveling, I ended that delusion and ponies came to realise that I am Starswirl. But this new confusion could be correlated by these other mes. And why? Aren't they based on a noble hero like me?"
 * Shifu: "I'm afraid that the Fanon Starswirls have fallen victim to Debunked Bitterness. An illness that plagues Debunked Fanons once they end up in the Debunker Zone. They become bitter, depressed, angry, and spiteful. It is obvious these fanon dopplegangers have lost sight of who they were based on."
 * Icky: "Yep. Those Fanon Yous are made that you basicly filled a once empty niche, Starswirlly. And you can say that you never meant to harm them all ya want, but by mere existing, you rendered them the latest additions to an unpleasent purgatory. And they, aren't going to pardon that in the slightist."
 * Starswirl becomes depress.
 * Rockhoof: "..... (Gets stern).... Do not despear, Starswirl. We will seek out and punish those dopplegangers for besmirching your good name!"
 * Somnambula: "Indeed."
 * Mage Meadowbrook: "If those broken souls have a problem with you, they have a problem with us."
 * Flash Magnus: "No interdimensional Starswirls are gonna mess with OUR TRUE Starswirl!"
 * Mistmane: "Tragic as those troubled souls' reasonings are, their suffering cannot be eased through revenge, for it will only further taint their hearts."
 * Starswirl: ".... It will not be easy. One of them is a Draconequus like Discord."
 * Icky: "AW CRAP?! THE FANON OF DISCORD BEING A CORRUPTED YOU IS INVOLVED IN THIS?!"
 * Discord: "Ohhhh boy. I thought I had a reason to be espeically concerned about this. I was afraid that silly old brony rumor would come back to haunt me.... And you by extension, beardo."
 * Twilight: "Don't worry, Starswirl. We were able to handle our own Discord and other Draconequui just fine. This'll be no different."
 * Lord Shen: "But we do need to inform Celestia about this. Any leaked in interdimensional immigrants should become a Hayfield 64 concern. For they would have the ability to capture those Fanon Starswirls and help us. Because we are talking about alternate yous, Starswirl. They are all likely as powerful as you, if not even more with the Discord one in mind."
 * Starswirl: "I haven't exactly kept track of them. I mostly AVOIDED them, because I was severely out-numbered, and likely at risk of being easily countered before I could even do anything."
 * Sandy: "Well this time, you got a posse yerself now."
 * Starswirl: "...... Thank you, Sparkle. You have come to comfert and aide me in my time of need."
 * Twilight: "..... Your welcome, Starswirl. That means so much to me."
 * Pines: "There, is still the matter with the Ponies being mad at Starswirl for some reason."
 * Starswirl: "Oh, I also had a bit of trouble from some hooligans and turned them into the iconic otherworlder beasts and villains for their disrespect."
 * Silence.....
 * Gazelle: ".... I kinda think you made that problem with them worse."
 * Starswirl: "Yes, I realized this. Not helping that they also failed to reckindise me as the real Starswirl. This would make getting to Celestia difficult."
 * Spongebob: "Well luckly for you. (Brings out the Atlantis Talisment) The Van, is here to save the day." (They convert it into the van with a familiar sound)... Really? You know Transformers stuff isn't allowed in the show, right?
 * Icky: Seemed appropriate for this universe since both they and MLP are Hasbro properties, so take me away, officer.
 * Max Cat: Sooo... We're going to shoot them away?
 * Skipper: NO, WHAT ARE YOU, STUPID?! We're going to negotiate with the microphone.
 * Max Cat: Well I guess that works better.
 * Skipper:... Just let us handle this, Moon Cat.
 * Phil: Skipper, I thought we worked out ALL the crap you missed in the movies. Max's non-lunar origins, Marlene's bleached fur incident, your 'Dublin Ireland' visit, THE CORRECT SPELLING FOR 'NUKULAR'!!!!
 * Skipper: YOU'VE ALREADY EMBARRASSED US ENOUGH WITH THAT, FUR PANTS!!!
 * Icky: "Can we JUST go to Celestia already!"
 * The Group entered the van and proceed to fly off to Canterlot!

Chapter 2: A Troubled Rookie Jester and a Tartaric Book/The Dark Bishop of Hollow Shades
Meanwhile, in Canterlot. Outside Canterlot Ponyville
 * A Jester Audition Event was seen.
 * Celestia, Luna, and a sad Punsy Mcglee were seen....
 * Punsy: "(Sniffles), Celestia, why are you planning to replace me?"
 * Celestia: "Punsy, it is nothing personal to you. It's just, you are being retired for saying a, very unpleasent joke, and a new jester will have to be accepted."
 * Punsy: "But Celestia, I served you well! I always gave killer one-liners!"
 * Luna: "Well the Harpy Ambassitor didn't seem to THINK SO?! NOR ANY OTHER RACIAL AMBASSITOR?! WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND MAKING RACE JOKES?!"
 * Punsy proceeded to cry phaticly!
 * An older veteran Jester came up.
 * Veteran Jester: ".... Please mind my grandson, Princesses. He's taking the early retirement hard."
 * Celestia: "We know, Funso Mcglee, but it can't be help. Punsy can't some offending people."
 * Funso: "I understand. (To Punsy) Don't worry, boy. I can always get you a job in Topsy Turvy Town. They're, alittle more forgiving to rough comedy."
 * Punsy: "(Wimpers).... It's just not fair!"
 * Celestia: Look, I'm terribly sorry, but with racial tension going on recently, we can't have jokes like yours starting wars.
 * ???: They're right ya know, McGlee (A donkey in a blue jester hood came in)... Ya went out of sytile in a time of racial conjustusness like Looney Tunes cartoons with racial depictions.
 * Funso:... Chad Puns. What're you doing here? You of all people don't get to say things like that even for the honor of the princess.
 * Chad Puns: Oh what, I'm not allowed to say my two cents or something? It's only my opinion.
 * Funso: No, it's everypony's opinion.
 * Chad Puns: Well then that's yer problem: Hypocrisy. You claim to really cherish the magic of friendship and yet you some folks, like me, are treated with stink-eyes like we're from a culture of pariahs. At this point, I think the kettle needs to file a restraining order on the pot.
 * Funso: You're not a good jester, Chad.
 * Chad Puns: Says the retired veteren jester.
 * Funso: Says EVERYPONY!!!!
 * Celestia: ENOUGH!!... Chad Puns... I do not seem to recall inviting you.
 * Chad Puns: Story of my life. Did I know I wasn't even invited to MY OWN BIRTHYDAY PARTY ONCE?! I never got invited to anything. That being said, I was actselly here to do something relitively productive. Did ya know something about a wave of fan dipictions of Starswirl the Bearded coming out of a place called the "Fanonverse" and making the real deal look like a fake?
 * Celestia: WHAT?! That's not possible. The guardian is a stone cold one.
 * Chad Puns: Well what did ya expected? They're fan depictions of THE Starswirl the Bearded. Your talking about clones of the same guy that mastered Inter-dimentional and/or time travel in some compasity in MLP canon. He's basicly a super pony love child of Dumberdore and Gandolf. But I'm willing the bet the real deal will tell the Lougers and your teacher's pet Sparkle and her friends about it and they'll tell you, then afterwords, it's a hot-skip-of-a-jump until Hayfield 64 is involved.
 * Luna: Wait, how did you know about this before them?
 * Chad Puns: Uhhhhh... Jester's intuition?
 * Punsy:... You let them out, didn't you?
 * Funso: GRANDSON!!! I AM ABHORRED AT YOU!!! CHAD MAY BE A DISGRACE, BUT HE IS NOT THAT KIND OF DISGRACE!!! HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE HIM OF SUCH?!?
 * Chad Puns: Yeah, kid. Shame on you.
 * Funso: "That wasn't to say yer permited to egg him on like that! It wasn't like he j'accused someone of better standing then YOU! I only scolded him for yer sake out of principal alone!"
 * Chad Puns: "Knew that was too good to be true. I mean, yeesh, can't a guy of my current standing deside to do something nice for once without being accused of something? I mean, come on, take note that I'm a donkey. We're not much capable of magic. Heck, I'm not even like those super speical Uni-horn Donkeys that can do magic! The only thing incredable about me is that.... (Gets abit depressed).... I'm pretty much a big loser."
 * Luna: "(Gets abit suspitious).... All the same though, it is strange that you have knew about this before us."
 * Chad Puns: "... Okay, ya got me. Let's just say, I know some friends in shady places that can learn about things faster then even the Lougers can. It wasn't exactly hard for them to notice a gang of disgruntled fan creations of a famous pony wizard making the guy they're based on look like a lier. Now that I got my fickle thanks of they day, I'm out of here. (Leaves)....."
 * Punsy: "..... I still say he had something to do with this?!"
 * Celestia: "Now now, Punsy, in all fairness, he did point out that he was incapable of magic..... This being said..... I do agree it is odd he knew about this so soon, even with his claims of his "Shady Friends"...."
 * Luna: ".... I think we may need to keep our eyes on Chad Puns for the time being. Right now, we should probuly expect the Lougers arrival right about now."
 * Punsy: "So, does that mean the Audition's canceled?"
 * Luna: "More like put on hold due to impourent matters, so don't get your hopes up, Punsy."
 * Punsy: "D'OH?!"
 * Funso: "Aw don't sweat it, Punsy. Consider this as a chance to revaluate your comedy rotine. Trust me, I don't want my grandson to end up like Chad Puns, and I'm sure you don't as well."
 * Chad Puns:... Well that could've gone better.
 * ???: (Monstrox voice but Bombinomicon tone) Ohhohoho, I doubt that, ass-ass. (Laughs hysterically as Chad pulls out a book with the Tartarus gate pattern on the cover and a yellow eye in the middle) Get it? Because it means both donkey AND butt? (Laughs) It's funny.
 * Chad Puns: Not if you explain it, TJ.
 * Book: Ahh, choke on a burrito of d***s.
 * Chad Puns: "Ugh, just my luck I get insulted by a sentient book from greek hell."
 * Book: "Hey, the correctamondo term, is Tartarus. Ergo, that makes me, the Tartarus Journel!"
 * Chad Puns: "Hey no need to lecture me on the correct name to discripe what's clearly still a standerd underworld."
 * Tartarus Journel: "Hey try to remember who it was that helped you bust those Fanon Starswirls out?"
 * Chad Puns: "That crazy vulture guy who created a inter-dimentional traveling outhouse that surprisingly works, for having an easy password to enter his house and for being an unintentionally helpful idiot who likely doesn't even know about me using it?"
 * Tartarus Journel: ".... I see what you did there. Well remember who was the one who GOT that idea in your head to begin with."
 * Chad Puns: "Yeah yeah, I know, that was you."
 * Tartarus Journel: "Exactly! I also helped informed you that the stupid bird has an easy to remember password and helped guide you in the Fanonverse and made sure you stayed out of the NSFW zone. Trust me. That place, is worse then Tartarus. (Shudders) Even I'm shuddering at the thought."
 * Chad Puns: "I get it, you were why I was able to get those Starswirls out. But ya have to realise that the heroes are already onto them."
 * Tartarus Journel: "That's the plan, genius. Those Fanon Starswirls are just distractions for the REAL plan. Going after Stygian, and taking him to the very guy respondsable for the Pony of Shadows."
 * Chad Puns: "..... The one where it's an expie of Nightmare Moon, or-"
 * Tartarus Journel: "Yes, I meant the one where the Pony of Shadows is actselly a dude and not related to Nightmare Moon at all!"
 * Chad Puns: "Well surely you of all, uh, sentient Tartarus-y things, should know that this guy was likely from many years ago, and-"
 * Tartarus Journel: "Well ordenarly, yes. But you would be amazed what magic can allow mortals to do. Trust me. HE'S still around. I'll explain later. Right now: We have a reclusive wimp to meet up."
 * Chad Puns: "Well there is a matter of finding the guy and-"
 * Tartarus Journel: "Oh, we don't need to come to HIM! He's coming to us. Sparkle WAS having a party after all."
 * Chad Puns: ".... Ahhh, I see what you mean."
 * Stygian was seen arriving to Ponyville via coach by a Saddle Arabian pony.
 * Saddle Arabian pony: "Welcome to Ponyville, sir. A quint little village where crazy things happen in unexplanable ways."
 * Stygian: "Oh. Thank you."
 * Saddle Arabian pony: "You have Trav'el-Babylon's pleasure. That'd be 8 Equestrian bits."
 * Stygian: "(Gives 18 of them) Keep the change. I'm feeling generious today."
 * Trav'el-Babylon: "Oh goodness me! That was more then I was expecting! And you clearly don't look like the rich type!"
 * Stygian: "Oh, a lot of that was my earnings from my book. I made a story about my past. It's, difficult to explain."
 * Trav'el-Babylon: "Hold the phone. (Brings out the book from A Rockhoof and A Hard Place).... You mean you made this book?"
 * Stygian: "Well, more like, I made the book where that one is a copy of. But otherwise, yes."
 * Trav'el-Babylon: "By the Alicorns, how did I not realised I was taking a famous auther!"
 * Stygian: "Uh, please calm down about it, I don't wish to be treated no differently then any other pony just because I wrote a successful book."
 * Trav'el-Babylon: "Ahhhh, I see, You're trying to be incognito! You have my vow of secretcy on this, my friend."
 * Stygian gets off and heads torwords the Castle as Trav'el-Babylon trots off.
 * Stygian: "It'll be great to see old and new friends again when I arrive at the party. I wonder if Starswirl's there as well. Ya know, if he's not being fastionably late as usual." (He came in to see that very few were there)... What? I was told the Pillars and Lodgers were going to be here.
 * Cozy Glow: Hello Mister Stygian. Oh, they left. Mister the Bearded had an emergency.
 * Stygian: "An emergeny? What was that?"
 * Gallus: "Something about a bunch of Starswirls from another universe screwing up his name as the real Starswirl because they got sent to a purgatory or something."
 * Stygian: "ANOTHER UNIVERSE?!"
 * Skyceria: "They said it was called, "The Fanonverse", where it's basicly a universe where the ideals of fans go."
 * Stygian: "Awww gees, and I just got here! How long ago did they left?"
 * Smolder: "Abit of a while ago, before you showed up."
 * Stygian: "And why are you guys here?"
 * Gaster: "Well, it's likely not serious enough anyway, just a bunch of vengeful dicks ruining a famous heros' legacy, and that it's also Pillar Business when Sparkle saids is too serious for our involvement anyway, so.... Here we are."
 * Koningin: "And we're here to make sure the students behavie themselves."
 * Yakhalla: "And that of Professor Buzzord as well."
 * Professor Buzzord: "HEY!"
 * Professor Spoonful: "Oh don't act like you wouldn't end up redusing this castle into ruin if we left you alone with the children. You're litterally the same twit that ends up having inventions blow up spectatularly in his face, does reckless things, AND A STUPIDLY EASY TO REMEMBER PASSWORD FOR A SECURITY DEFENCE?!"
 * Professor Buzzord: "But it's a password for all of my security systems! Even the one in my house!"
 * Silverstream looked to have an empifinmy about this......
 * Silverstream: "..... Professor Buzzord..... Do you, remember that exspearimental Inter-Dimentional Traveling Outhouse you made?"
 * Buzzord: "Oh? OH! Oh of course I remember! See, sometime after the Deadpool debacle, I went to test that old myself, and IT WORKED?! I ended up in a universe ruled by cute puppies and kittens and gumdrops and ice cream and-"
 * Everyone looked concerningly at Buzzord......
 * Buzzord: "..... What?"
 * Stygian: "..... You, have managed to have a working inter-dimentional gate, inside your home, defended by only a security system, that can be turned off, WITH AN EASY TO REMEMBER PASSWORD?!"
 * Barktrot: "It's litterally just the first 10 numbers close to eachother."
 * Buzzord: "Well I don't see what the problem here is!"
 * Spoonful: "..... YOU, IDIOT?! DO YOU REALISED THAT MEANS YOUR CREATION COULD BE WHY THOSE FANON STARSWIRLS ARE HERE?!"
 * Buzzord: "That's impossable! My device can only be able to physically go into other dimentions and back, it's not one of those "Stargate" themoninons where there can be others like it."
 * Yakhalla: "Then that means, those other Starswirls had a rescuer. And likely someone with a vendetta against Starswirl given the circumstances."
 * Buzzord realised this....
 * Buzzord: ".... Ohhhhhhh.... Does that mean my inter-dimentional outhouse is going to be consbinsated for this?"
 * Barktrot: "Well, given that it's respondsable to why dopplegangers who are embittered at a famous hero's mere existence is ruining his life, I HARDLY SEE WHY IT WOULD NOT BE THE CASE?! THAT THING IS AT RISK OF BEING EASILY ABUSED LIKE JUST NOW?!"
 * Buzzord: "Everyone, please, I purely meant for my inter-dimentional traveler for good! To allow us to travel into other dimentions and realities! To learn from them!"
 * Electross: "Well bad news. Like the time machine, an interdimentional traveling device ALWAYS runs the risk of being more trouble then it's worth! The Zoni are JUST as strict about traveling to alternate realities as they are to time travel!"
 * Buzzord: "But the Lougers do so all the time!"
 * Barktrot: "Oh which is limited purely to the AUU, and recently the Mewni dimention! And even they discourage traveling to other existences, because they bring RISKS! It's like your What-If Scenariotron, you would not always like what you would see."
 * Buzzord: "But do I really HAVE to lose one of my babies? It was finally an invention that works!"

Chapter 3: Lore of the Pony of Shadows/Doldrumsta Blue
Flashback... Present
 * Icky: Tara what now?
 * Starswirl: Taraxippus!
 * Icky:... (He looked it up quick on his iPhone)... Oh, wow! In Greek mythology, the Taraxippus (plural: taraxippoi, "horse disturber", Latin equorum conturbator) was a presence, variously identified as a ghost or dangerous site, blamed for frightening horses at hippodromes throughout Greece.... The Pony of Shadows was THIS?!?
 * Starswirl: Indeed. In fact... The Pony of Shadows itself has existed since the Age of the Alicorns, and so has it's kind....
 * (Starswirl): (As an Alicorn similar to this, only with dark magic eyes similar to King Sombra's, was seen)... They were created by another rogue Alicorn God. The Alicorn of Black Magic, Fear, Hate, Sorrow, Darkness, and everything similar himself, Prince Woeus. His home was what Hollow Shades is today, as the land was brewing with his dark influence. He created not just the Umbras associated with King Sombra, but also the Taraxippuses, including the Pony of Shadows, back before Pitch himself even arrived. He sought to rule the land by fear, until the head gods Philosophia and Temperanus cast him off and turned him forever into darkness, as he ended up manifested into a shadow realm of whence to exile his Taraxippus creations...
 * Starswirl:... That is until the Great Fear Wars, when Pitch Black managed to find his home, the Woe Hippodrome, where Woeus himself tortured mortals until they cracked and became more Taraxippus followers. Pitch managed to free them and form an alliance with them, and after their own Pony of Shadows was destroyed... They picked another... That ended up being freed herself, as... A certain pony that defeated and freed her... Assured that the poor soul has been made eternally sad and tormented and is still missing as a pony with cursed immortality, and needed to be cured of this curse.... Then... That's when-
 * Spyro: When they got to Stygian?
 * Starswirl: Indeed. It didn't exactly happen before Pitch was defeated. Remnants of the darkness of Woeus and the Taraxippises remained in where Stygian became the next Pony of Shadows, within the Well of Shade, existed for them to choose another. In this case, a betrayed soul lost in the Great Fear Wars, with nowhere else to turn to but the darkness... And as a result... It got us into a horrible case of karma. We had to bring the Pony of Shadows into limbo with us to ensure he stayed there in Ponehenge... Then you all freed us... No thanks to Twilight! (Twilight chuckled nervously)... (Sigh), but, I want to make clear that I do reckindse the good intention beyond the, albeit, still most epic blunder in the history of Equestia, and I will give due credit that at least with you, your heart was in the right place. My upset with you only stemmed from my perfect plan being undone.
 * Icky: "Ya didn't exactly left a warning for people like Twilight to NOT do that!"
 * Starswirl: "Alchourse I left a warning! My journel was designed to show a hologram of what happened and what was a good reason to leave the place well enough alone!"
 * Pinkie: "Ohhhhhh..... Well, the problem is..... It was kinda vague."
 * Starswirl: "(Starswirl was surprised)..... Define, Vague?"
 * Applejack: "Well, ya didn't exactly said you didn't want help or get into anything spefific. That warning of yours could've been taken the wrong way and be mistaken for a signal for help."
 * Mistmane: "..... I told you we should've left a more proper warning then that flashy display you conjured up, ya old coot!"
 * Rockhoof: "Or at the least actselly leave a written warning in that book of yers!"
 * Flash Magnus: "But NOOOOOOOOOOOO, You wanted to be flashy and mysterious about it with a hologram light show! Yeah, it paid off well?!"
 * Meadowbrook: "Now let's not squabble like fillies and colts about this, we didn't exactly helped making that warning clear neither!"
 * Somanula: "I agree, and besides, immaturity and complaints get nothing done."
 * Starswirl: "(Sighs)..... You have to mind that arguement, we had long gotten into a, unfishished disagreement about the effectiveness of the warning I had chosen!"
 * Icky: "To be fair, it was kinda vague. Twilight mistook that as "Please help us" as suppose to be the intended "Please leave this place the fuck alone"! Maybe you could've tried ACTIVELY saying that you want to be trapped in limbo with the freaky shadow monster before someone like Twilight ended up doing something stupid with this!"
 * Rockhoof: It did not even help that our disappearance was a representation of Celestia's worst fear. Specifically the one that made her briefly powerless against Pitch Black.
 * Twilight: Well... What about this 'eternally sad' pony?
 * Stygian: Her name is Doldrumsta Blue.... My sister.
 * Rainbow Dash: Oh, I guess that explains how you know who she is more than- (Did this)


 * Icky: "..... Well I guess being freaky shadow monsters runs in the family!"
 * Gazelle: ICKY!
 * Icky: WHAT, I CAN'T HELP BEING 'INSENSITIVE' AS YOU GUYS LIKE TO SLAP ON!!! I TRY TO OFFER LEVITY IN DRUMATIC MOMENTS LIKE THIS?!
 * Stygian: Well, you should try to be more considerate then that. Doldrumsta has been cursed with immortality and cursed to never EVER stop crying. The depression left from her time as the Pony of Shadows is an eternal torment.
 * Somnambula: Poor girl has never been able to find peace. A millennia of depression. Unable to die. Unable to feel happiness.
 * Icky:... Ohhhhhhhhhh.
 * Sparx: Yeah. You're an asshole and you should feel terrible.
 * Lord Shen: "That's Icky for you. He's practicly the king of imbaciles."

Chapter 5: Bishop Dipper Becomes the Pony of Shadows
Flashback... Present
 * Icky: Alright, Bishop, we got you RIGHT where I want you!
 * Polaris: Don't come any further! You will not threaten the father!
 * Bishop: And besides, it's already too late! Stygian and Doldrumsta are becoming stronger than you can possibly imagine. Even I can't stop it.
 * Icky: We'll see about THAT, Bishop Dips***! (The Bishop got angered at that statement)
 * Polaris: Oh no! Not again! Please don't say that again!
 * Icky: I don't give a s***! Bishop Dips*** deserves what's coming to him! (The Bishop got madder and displays a familiar smoky aura)
 * Polaris: PLEASE, STOP SAYING THAT NAME!!!
 * Starswirl: Bird, I think Polaris looks as if he's serious! Something doesn't feel right about the Bishop-
 * Icky: I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! I WILL CALL THIS FALSE GOD NUTCASE, WHATEVER I WANT TO CALL HIM! DIP***, DIPS***-
 * Bishop Dipper: (He screamed a deafening and fearful screech as everyone held their ears as he grew a dark aura as Icky screamed in pure agony)
 * Paladin #1: Oh, now you've done it!
 * Paladin #2: We're dead!
 * Polaris: I suggest we all run!
 * Polaris and the other presits began to make a run for it!
 * Starswirl: "(Stares at Icky) MOST INDEED, YOU ARE THE KING OF IMBACILES?!"
 * Bishop ends up revealing his true form as the Pony of Shadows...
 * Pony of Shadows: "STOP, CALLING ME, DIPS***?! IT'S, DIPPER?!"
 * Starswirl: I... It can't be!
 * Pony of Shadows: It is. Ever since Stygian was liberated of the Pony of Shadows, it needed a new host and found it's way on my doorstep.
 * Icky: "(Pained Daze) Oh, SUUUUUUUUURE, OF COURSE THE EVIL RELIJUSTUS FIGURE TURNS OUT TO BE ANOTHER SHADOW MONSTER?! I mean, sure, it's a nice deviation from this episode being A COMPLETE COPY OF THE NETFLIX CASTLEVAINIA SERIES, BUT, OWWWWWWW, DID THIS DEVIATION HAVE TO BE PAINFUL?!"
 * Pony of Shadows: "WELL YOUR OWN MISTAKE INSULTING ME, YOU IDIOTIC AVIAN?!"
 * Skipper: "As if this fun little neightberhood needed another problem from you. So now your a tyrant, AND a byproduct of the guy that started the fear wars? That's a double-whammy of you being unfit to lead anything, pal!"
 * Pony of Shadows: (In loud booming monstrous voice) SILENCE!!! (To Starswirl) YOU COULD NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH I HATED YOU AND YOUR PILLARS, STARSWIRL!!
 * (Pony of Shadows): I WAS RAISED IN HOLLOW SHADES BEFORE THE GREAT FEAR WARS! IN THAT TIME, I WAS A RESPECTED PRIEST OF HOPE IN DARK TIMES, CONSIDERING THE BLACK MAGIC OOZING IN THE LAND AFTER THE DEFEAT OF PRINCE WOEUS! I EVEN HAD A SON! LITTLE DIPPER WAS MY ONE TRUE HEIR, AND WOULD'VE DONE BETTER THAN ME! BUT SINCE THE FEAR WARS... (Taraxippuses were seen invading the land and successfully taking it back, as ponies like Dipper and his son were seen hiding in their reign)... WE WERE RUNNING FROM THE WRATH OF THOSE BEASTS! PITCH WAS ATTEMPTING TO PURGE THE ENTIRE PLACE OF IT'S INHABITANTS SO HE CAN TAKE IT AND HARNESS IT'S BLACK MAGIC FOR HIMSELF! BUT THEN... THANKS TO YOUR ARROGANCE AND PRIDE WHEN FIGHTING AGAINST THE PRINCESSES AND THE GUARDIANS OF CHILDHOOD, WE WERE FOUND BY PITCH, AND SO, THREATENED BY THE MAGNIFICENCE OF HIS TALENTS... PITCH ORDERED FOR HIM TO BE EXECUTED!
 * Bishop Dipper: LET HIM GO!! LET HIM GO!! (The Taraxippises took him away) NOOOOO!!!
 * Pitch: (Growls)... I want no further holdups! I want his father turned to stone immediately! (They took him off as he was crying)
 * (Pony of Shadows): I HAD ASSUMED HE WAS LOST THAT DAY WHEN I WAS TURNED TO STONE! (He was seen being petrified)... I THOUGHT ALL HOPE FOR OUR SOCIETY WAS LOST!... THEN YOU FINALLY RESPONDED, TOO LATE! (Hollow Shades was purged of Pitch's influence as all ponies left out of fear and torment)
 * Bishop Dipper: SON! (He hugged his son) You're alive! I-
 * Little Dipper: DON'T TOUCH ME!
 * Bishop Dipper: What?
 * Little Dipper: You got me nearly killed back there! I was trying to offer an ounce of hope by trying to rally up all these ponies, and even tried to contact the Princesses!... BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME! AND NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO US! I had the solution to this whole problem, and suddenly I wasn't even allowed to say another word about it, because YOU WERE TOO MUCH OF A COWARD!!! HIDING NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING, EVEN IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS!!!
 * Bishop Dipper: Son, please-
 * Little Dipper: NO!... This... This is all your fault!
 * Bishop Dipper: This was NOT my fault! Starswirl was just too late!
 * Little Dipper:... You... YOU SHUNNED MY IDOL, BECAUSE OF BEING TOO LATE?!?
 * Bishop Dipper: HE GOT US CAPTURED IN THE BEGINNING, SON! I DIDN'T FULLY TRUST HIM ANY LONGER!
 * Little Dipper:... This is EXACTLY my point! You never trusted me, OR him! I'm sure he had good reasons! NOW YOU'RE SAYING HE'S A MENACE?!? IF YOU SAY HE'S A MENACE, THAT'S HURTING MY PRIDE!!! THE LIVELIHOODS OF EVERYPONY HERE HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BECAUSE OF YOU!
 * Bishop Dipper: Son, no- (He cast a certain spell)... Son, no!... DON'T DO IT! (The ponies noticed him using a spell)... DON'T DECONSTRUCT YOURSELF WITH THAT ACCURSED SPELL!!!
 * Little Dipper: I HOPE IT WAS WORTH SHUNNING MY IDOL, OLD MAN!... BECAUSE YOU JUST LOST SOMETHING TO GET IT! (He was deconstructed as Bishop Dipper panicked in tears)
 * Bishop Dipper: NOOOO!!! SON!! NOOOOOO!!! (He cried as the remnants of the spell manifested into a familiar figure as Little Dipper became a Taraxippus, frightening all the ponies as he cackled)
 * (Pony of Shadows): MY SON KILLED HIMSELF, BECAUSE YOU TURNED HIM AGAINST ME! AND SAVING US FROM HIM CHANGED NOTHING, BECAUSE YOU DID WHAT YOU ALWAYS DID WITH ANY THREAT... USE OTHER REALMS AS DUMPING GROUNDS!!! (Starswirl casted Little Dipper into the Shadow Realm)
 * Bishop Dipper: NOOOOOOO!!! MY SON!!! NOOOOO-HOOO-HOOO-HOOO-HOOOO!!! (He slumped down on the ground crying)...
 * Starswirl:... Bishop-
 * Bishop Dipper: DON'T TOUCH ME! (He attacked him with his magic as it turned into black magic with his hate)... YOU CAST HIM INTO THE SHADOW REALM!! I COULD'VE SAVED HIM!!! BUT YOU RUINED MY CHANCE TO SAVE HIM!!!
 * Starswirl: Bishop-
 * Bishop Dipper: DON'T, EVER, SPEAK TO ME AGAIN! I DON'T EVER WANNA SEE YOU AROUND MY OLD HOME, EVER, AGAIN! (He blasts him and the others away angrily, and looked at the ponies as they trembled in fear, as he ran off)
 * Icky: (With bleeding earholes) MY EARHOLES!!!!
 * Pony of Shadows: Your pride and arrogance ruined my one chance to make up everything I did wrong to my son, BY HIS SIDE! That's why I had to ensure your protégé Stygian paid the price by being our God's new Pony of Shadows. I founded this religion to correct what you were never qualified to correct. IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME AND MY SON! And though I was tainted by the darkness of the land, it was too late to turn back because I now realize that I am the threat you destroyed COMING BACK TO HAUNT YOU! Now I have the power to achieve my goals of bringing back the Taraxippi, and being their new vanguard. I WILL NOT REST UNTIL JUSTICE IS SERVED!!!
 * Starswirl:... Bishop... I'm sorry I banished your son! But he was too long gone! He-
 * Pony of Shadows: (In a much louder voice) NOO!!! YOU MADE ME LOOK BAD TO HIM WITH YOUR PRIDE AND ARROGANCE!!! I HAD THE CHANCE TO MAKE IT UP TO HIM, AND YOU TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME!! YOU'RE NO LEGEND! YOU'RE A MONSTER! NOW, YOU WILL DIE IN THE HOOVES OF ONE!
 * Starswirl: I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT THEM, AND YOUR SON, AND YOU!!!
 * Great Fear: (Cackles insanely) You don't give hope, you old fool! YOU TAKE IT AWAY! So I'll take away yours!! (He cast powerful thunderstorms blowing away all the heroes as he disappeared, cackling ominously)...
 * Icky:... Whoops!
 * Everyone: WHOOPS?!? (The Pony of Shadows did this and unleashed Taraxippi that attacked the heroes and left to spread fear)
 * Castlevania Animated Series - Night Creature Attack Scene
 * Icky: "(Sees ponies being turned into more Shadow Ponies) Okay, NOW things are back to basicly being a G-Rated Netflix Castlevainia!"
 * Punzor and the Tartarus Journel were seen from above the church building watching this.
 * Tartarus Journel: "What did I tell ya, punsy? Told ya the guy is perfect for the job. Now we can sit back and enjoy the ride, for Nightmare Night now has something to REALLY scream about?!"
 * The Tartarus Journel started to laugh as Punzor joined in relucently, but the corruptive enfluence got Punzor more into it!
 * The Tartarus Journel: "And now, once the only guys who can hurt us are out of the way, we can start summoning the prisoners of Tartarus right out to join the fun! Till then, let's sit back and watch our masterpiece, unfold!"
 * Punzor: "Now this is a comedy act I NEED to see!"
