Chapter 117: Spooky Scary Shadows (Bonus)

It was the night before Christmas, that all- Wait a moment- Wrong Holiday, just a sec~

It was the last night of October, Ponies were out in the streets wearing the scariest outfits they could find, Children collecting candy as if they were taxes.

That is correct, dear Nephew, It was all Hallows Eve, the best holiday of the year!

"That's stupid, Everyone knows that Holidays are a waste of time."

The Pony of Shadows stopped talking into the void of endless nothingness that he was stuck in, turning his head to look at the only other pony in Limbo with him.

"Look, You're not here to get any information, so you're going to have to listen to me narrate the world around us, you do not have a choice." The Pony of Shadows told his Several-times-Great Grand Nephew.

"I'm not going to listen to you," Captain Prince Blueblood 'Kingfisher' Platinum told his long-lost evil ancestor. "You'll be talking into the void." He paused for a moment. "I mean that in the literal sense. We are in the void, and you are speaking to it."

"Look, It's currently Halloween, can you just please let me tell the story?" Uncle let out an exasperated sigh, turning to look at one of the six floating pillars of rainbow crystal that held the sealed wardens of his prison, "What are you looking at?" He asked a pillar, frowning at the Roman-dressed Pegasus frozen inside.

"I don't want to hear a story, I just want this to be over." Blueblood told the Pony of Shadows, turning his head to stare over his shoulder, "Shut up, Do not force me to go to a psychiatrist, I will make you disappear if you keep this up."

"Are you talking to yourself?" The Pony of Shadows chuckled at the sight, "I thought I was going to go crazy, but here you are." He smiled at his Nephew.

"I'm not going crazy," Blueblood said as a matter of fact, "I'm simply being haunted by my subconscious taking the form of someone I hate." He told him, only to pause for a moment, "Or it's his ghost and he's haunting me because he's a dick, one or the other..." Blueblood thought for a moment before he turned to look at his uncle, "Are ghosts real?"

"Someone's haunting you? Who is it? Is it that Moon Creature that tried to take over your body a while back? Maybe some poor Changeling you brutally squashed? Is it Blueblood, the real prince that is, trying to get you to give his body back?" The Pony of Shadows rubbed his hooves with excitement, the black smoky shadows that made up his body bursting into white flames from his excitement.

"It's Macaw." Blueblood's words turned the Pony of Shadow's excitement into Boredom.

"Macaw? From Avian?" He asked.

"Yep."

"Damn... Sucks to be you, I guess~ Ayo! Up top!" The Pony of Shadows excitedly raised his hoof up in front of Blueblood, ready for to receive his Nephew's hoof.

"Come on, don't leave me hanging!"

"..." Blueblood stared blankly at the Pony of Shadows, not rising to the occasion, and leaving his uncle to dry.

The Uncle of Shadows let out a disappointed sigh as he lowered his hoof and dejectedly walked over to the other side of the small corner of Limbo was his prison, sulking, "Why are you even here?"

"Cadance wanted to speak to Cosmos, She needs help planning her Honeymoon or something like that," Blueblood answered.

"Can't she just borrow the gems and sleep with them if she wanted to talk to Cosmos?" Pony of Uncles asked, "Having you wear them and then knock you out seems like a less healthy way to go about things, especially seeing as how she can only control your head and right front leg."

"That's what I also said," Blueblood told him, "I also told her to just go to a ski resort, but she decided 'Noo, I need my Honeymoon to be perfect, It can't be the same as any other Honeymoon ponies go on~' As if it matters, The entire point of a honeymoon is to get privacy from your friends and family in order to make out for as long as you want," Blueblood huffed in annoyance, "Too bad the two thirty-year-old Virgins are the ones going on the honeymoon this time. I would've taught Cadance how to put on a Condom, but I don't think she knows what one looks like."

"Now you're exaggerating, I'm sure she knows what a Condom looks like." The World's Greatest Evil Uncle said with a roll of his eyes, "And besides, I'm sure Captain Shining Armor knows enough about safe-"

"HE DOES NOT!" Blueblood interrupted with a yell, "Shining Armor is a horrible guard! It's almost comical how awful security in the castle is! I would be laughing at it if it wasn't so sad! I was kidnapped while I was in my room by Moon Creatures! MOON CREATURES!!! And don't get me started on Chrysalis not only managing to grab me a meter outside the castle but also infiltrating the castle for THREE WEEKS BEFORE ANYONE NOTICED!" Blueblood screamed, his mane of golden hair erupting in Blue Flames as he started ranting angrily about the castle staff and the many mistakes they made.

"Oh my~" The Pony who chose his name from an edgy thirteen-year-old's DeviantArt OC said as he listened to the Prince angrily ramble.

"-What I'm trying to get at here, Is that Shining Armor CAN NOT PROTECT ANYTHING! The only thing he managed to successfully defend in his life is his Virginity! So I am saying this with full seriousness and intent. SHINING ARMOR DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A CONDOM!"

"Got that out of your system?" Pony of Shadows asked as he smirked at his Nephew, resting his chin on his hoof, his elbow on his knee as he listened to the Prince's angry rant.

"...Wasn't this supposed to be a Halloween special?" Blueblood asked as he calmed himself down, breathing heavily as he tried to relax from his spirited rant.

"It was? Eh, who cares." The Pony of Shadow waved him off, "It also seems like you're starting to wake up," He pointed out, watching as Blueblood's body started to fade away, "See you soon, Kill ya!"

"I'll kill you too!" Blueblood yelled as his body disappeared, Leaving Uncle Shadow all alone once more, with nothing but the Crystal Pillars that housed the founding pillars of Canterlot.

"...No, Seriously, Flash Magnus, go fuck yourself, stop looking at me like that."

"...."

"Yeah," The Pony of Shadows smiled in victory, kicking the crystal holding the Pegasus as he turned away from him, "Happy Halloween or something! Later, Losers!"
