Something was wrong. Even as he focused on the task of purifying the waters of Ponyville, Torrential could feel that something was off about the situation. The waters weren't being cleansed as quickly as they should have been, nor as easily as they should have been either. He felt like his cleaning magic was pushing against something solid... and it was trying to push back. The only reason that could be was if something was fighting him... Something landed on his back before something pink covered his eyes. In the span of a heartbeat his wings had flared up as he threw whatever was on his back clear off of him. He watched like a hawk as a ball of pink committed itself to performing an Axel before touching down on the water like a figure skater on ice. skating along for a little bit before pulling itself to a complete stop, reveling a pink smiling pony wearing what appeared to be a homemade but somewhat worn jester outfit. It was only when the figure stopped moving that it was possible to see the signs of decay that wouldn't be present in a living creature; The lip-less smile that was only made worse by the black void that were her eyes. "[b]Well if it isn't the meany pants Alicorn who beat up all of beautiful dollies. All they wanted to was spread love and happiness to the ponies and the big fuzzy buffalos that wandered around where Applejack and her family lives now and you had to go and break them into itty bitty pieces that will take [b/] [i]Forever[/i] [b] to clean up and replace. It's wasn't their fault that they were unaware that they were all pointy and spiky like porcupine or a hedgehog... Only porcupines and hedgehogs aren't really as fast as my dollies are... well, expect for one hedgehog that can move [i]really[/i] fast but he hates water because he can't swim so I don't think he really counts. Now that I think about it, unicorn horns are really sharp and pointy as well. Angle one of those suckers the right way and you can take someponies eye out with them. Maybe that's why Applejack cuts off unicorn horns wherever she finds them? Somepony accidental must have jabbed her eye out and she's just taking steps to make sure no one gets their eye jabbed out anymore...[/b]" It was rather... weird watching an undead pony ramble on and on, her hoof on her chin as she kept remembering things that merely prolonged the rant. After the conversation had gone from spiky things to wondering what 'Spike' was up to these days (Whomever or whatever that might be) Torrential let out a loud cough in order to try and get the foul creature to focus a little. Turning her attention back to the alicorn in front of her, the undead mare seemed to break out of her rant as she remembered that she wasn't alone. "[b]Whoopees daisies. Where was I again... Spike, unicorn horns, hedgehogs, porcupines, my dolls... Ah right! You're the meany pants that broke a bunch of my dollies. And now you've rocked up at my home warming party uninvited and started to trash the place.[/b]" The smile that had been on the mare's lip-less face turned into a very anger glare. "[b]Not only are you a meany pants, you're a [i]Party Crasher[/i]. Only one way to deal with a meany pants Party Crasher.[/b]" The water of the lake started to churn as ghost after giggling ghost burst out of the water, a swarm of the damn things quickly taking shape above the head of the pink mare, laughing and playing tag with each other as they awaited the signal to charge. In a couple of places along the shore, bodies that belonged to ponies decades dead started to raise from the water, bones showing in the places that water had soaked off flesh and muscle as they carried bows that had clearly not aged well under water. Even as these undead archers started to form up, those who still had tails and manes were sacrificing them in order to provide their bows with fresh string since the old ones had rotted away in the water over the years. Two of them had set themselves up near Snow Tail and Star Dancer, seemingly ignoring them as they primed their old and worn weapons so they could hopefully have a chance of firing an arrow far enough to hit their target on the water. Five more were setting up position elsewhere, completely unaware that there were Stormwing ponies nearby.
