Shiny Silvermoon

*While the magic of @Discord was reversing the effect of poison jokes on everypony, S̵͕͍̾̋h̶̨̥͇̤̀i̷͙̣̩̣̳̒̽̏̚n̵͚͓͔̊y̷̧̛͉͉͎̐ seemed to stay the same abyssal entity stuck underneath steel and surrounded by candles and water buckets.* *After remaining strangely quiet for a while, the otherwordly monster broke the silence with oddly slow applauses of her clawed hooves. Perhaps it was a sarcastic manner to applause but who knew what was going on in S̵͕͍̾̋h̶̨̥͇̤̀i̷͙̣̩̣̳̒̽̏̚n̵͚͓͔̊y̷̧̛͉͉͎̐'s mind? During the whole performance of @Samurai Equine Trilby, @Dah Onion Eater Saturn and CatNap, the eldritch mare didn't blink a single time and maintained her creepy smile.* S̵͕͍̾̋h̶̨̥͇̤̀i̷͙̣̩̣̳̒̽̏̚n̵͚͓͔̊y̷̧̛͉͉͎̐ : "NiCe øPiniOn, øNe sMaLl iSsuE..." *She spoke with her still disharmonious and unsettling voice.* *Without warning, the giant abomination abruptly stood up on it's 4 pairs of arachnid legs, while the steel covering it's back bent and felt off it. The debris seemed as light as sheets of paper to it, when the nightmarish beast shook them off itself. Was she pretending to be restrained all along?* S̵͕͍̾̋h̶̨̥͇̤̀i̷͙̣̩̣̳̒̽̏̚n̵͚͓͔̊y̷̧̛͉͉͎̐ : "MaGiC hAs Nø eFfEct øn mEeEeEeE!!!" Croissanto : "We are learning so many things, today! Is there a limit to this form? I hope for the sake of Equestria." *The croissant-shaped puppet said to himself loudly. He was still laying innthe middle of the stage and miraculously nopony had stepped on him yet.* *All of a sudden, the atmosphere shifted and the air became heavy, as if something was about to happen. S̵͕͍̾̋h̶̨̥͇̤̀i̷͙̣̩̣̳̒̽̏̚n̵͚͓͔̊y̷̧̛͉͉͎̐'s unicorn horn started to glow increasingly bright with electricity coursing around it, while a rumbling sound was also growing louder. It wasn't like a unicorn using her magic, it was something entirely different. The energy emanating wasn't icy blue, like the regular Shiny's magic, it was a bright shade of purple instead.* *As the sound and light finally came to a peak, the whole stage was trembling, threatening to crumble. The power accumulated in the eldritch mare's horn was more than enough to shatter a normal pony's.* S̵͕͍̾̋h̶̨̥͇̤̀i̷͙̣̩̣̳̒̽̏̚n̵͚͓͔̊y̷̧̛͉͉͎̐ : "tHiS iS gOøDbyE, DiScøRd!" *She then unleashed the Hidden Side Ray, called after the hidden side of the Moon. The strenght of this ray of energy was nothing short of impressively destructive, disintegrating everything on it's trajectory. The worst part is that it was aimed directly at the God of Chaos himself.*

Croissanto : "I believe that there is an okay chance you can defeat Discord at being entertaining, Trilby! This might not seem like much but I've never been the optimistic kind of croissant so take it as an encouragement!" *The croissant-shaped puppet cheered @Samurai Equine Trilby Hatter, as the pony was about to face the God of Chaos.* *Suddenly, stirred by the sight of @Discord who just reappeared, the gigantic and dark figure of S̶̻̠͂h̴͍̯͌̒ȋ̷̺̙n̶̤̞̕y̸̫̫̓ began to move underneath the pile of steel restraining her.* S̶̻̠͂h̴͍̯͌̒ȋ̷̺̙n̶̤̞̕y̸̫̫̓ : "DiiiiiiiiiiiScøRd!" *She called his name again with her voice filled with statics.* "tHe ønLy tHiNg kEePinG mE fRøm bReAkinG fRee, tø HaVe My kiNd øF fUn wiTh yøU, iS mY iNteReSt iN wAtChiNg tHe pøteNtiAl MeAl nAmEd tRilBy cøNfRøNt yøOøOøOu..."

*Still laying on the floor of the stage after being dropped by S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃'s tentacles, Croissanto remembered to have seen candles in the small box from which they came out at the beginning of the Big Goof Off.* Croissanto : "There are candles in one of the boxes, in the backstage! It has some Flex Tape on it!" *The croissant-shaped puppet said to @Samurai Equine Trilby.* "But before you challenge the God of Chaos, I have one small request. I want you to bring me, Trilby! Discord took a bite of me, earlier, and threw me at Shiny to save himself! These are the two reasons why I want to help you be more entertaining than @Discord! Oh yeah, there's also Shiny who got turned into an abomination, I almost forgot about that… That's sort of another reason."

*Destabilized by the assault of @Emerald Heart on her spider legs, the tall monstrousity that was now S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ lost her balance. Normally, this wouldn't have done much to affect her stability, since she has 4 pairs of spider legs protected by chitin but, because of @Samurai Equine Trilby's distraction, she was already weakened.* *The forces of the two ponies combined had the best of the eldritch unicorn! She stumbled into her own arachnid legs as she was backing up and felt directly onto one of the metal beams on the sides of the stage. The impact was enough for the heavy beam to fall onto S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃.* *The otherworldly beast collapsed onto the wooden floor, breaking it partially, while some pieces of the decor also felt onto her.* *Stuck underneath the metal object, she tried to move but it was too heavy even for her.* S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ : "cønGrAtuLaTiøn, fRiEnDs! yOu PrøøVeD yOurSeLf tø bE wøRtHy øppøNenTs. I sHaLl ReSt NøW." *She said to Trilby and Emerald, as if she wasn't bothered by the heavy metal ontop of her. In a similar way as what she was doing to mimic her own voice, she immitated the sounds of a crowd cheering them, with statics in the background.* *S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ then noticed Titanium who was completely petrified by her mental shut down. For some unknown reason, the fearsome monster extended, toward the artist, the last of her tentacles still free to move from underneath her. She dark appendage landed itself onto Titanium's shoulder.* S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ : "RiNg-a-rInG o' røSes, a PøcKet fUll of pøsiEs. A-tiShøø. A-tisHoO. We aLl fAll døWn." *The abomination started to sing to her in a reassuring manner.*

*At the view of the blue flame that @Samurai Equine Trilby was aiming at her, S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ hissed at him and began to move backward. Her tentacles began to twirl frantically underneath her as well.* *It was so effective on the eldritch mare that she dropped Croissanto who safely landed thanks to the smooth material he was made of.* Croissanto : "CAN YOU PONIES STOP THROWING ME- Ow! My soft croissant body!" *It was working but for how long?*

This is no small question to me, since I never truly figured out my favorite color. If somepony's favorite color is thd reflexion of their personality, then mine must be unique, because there's so many colors I could choose! The bright icy blue of my eyes is the deep feeling of satisfaction I get whenever I make someone laugh or just smile! It's the memories of every time I used my sense of humor to brighter a friend's day! The shining silver of my mane symbolize the wisdom I've earned by the years! It's related to the several memoies of when I was lost in my thoughts, doing philosophy in my mind. The pure white of my coat represents my determination to be the kindess and most empathic version of myself I can be for myself and all others around me. It's a reminder of those times I helped my friends and made them feel cared for. This is a road of continuous self-improvement. It could also be just pink because I like this color as well! Nothing special to say about that one!

*S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ caught on the fly Croissanto with one of her multiple black tentacles, after being thrown at her by @Discord as a distraction. It gave him enough time to disappear.* S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ : "hE diDn'T wAnT tø plAy." *Her voice was exactly like Shiny's but, in the same time, it was completely different. It was a creature trying to sound like the real Shiny.* *Her huge spider legs clicked on the wooden floor of the stage, as she walked in a semicircle to turn around. Now that the God of Chaos wasn't there anymore, the monstrous pony turned her attention toward her friends as well as the crowd. S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ was now facing them all with a wicked smile showcasing her sharp teeth.* S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ : "If iT's Nøt thE dRacøneQuUs, tHeN whø iS gøIng tO eNteRtaiN Me?" *The otherwordly beast murmured, a challenge for somepony brave enough (or stupid enough). Her presence in the event was threatening the safety of all the participants and spectators.* Croissanto : "FIRE CAN GET HER TO KEEP HER DISTANCES FOR SOMETIMES AND SHE'S UNABLE TO CROSS A SOURCE OF WATER LIKE A RIVER!!!" *The croissant-shaped puppet yelled to everypony, revealing the weaknesses of S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃.* *Suddenly, the tentacle holding Croissanto wrapped itself around his mouth which prevented him from telling more. Only muffled sounds came out of the puppet now.* S̵̛̞̻̤̫̹̟̬̀̀̃̋̋̎̿ḩ̸̛̽͋͋́̀͋̈́̕͠ȉ̶̳̺̦̣̤̝͌͋̕n̶̟̩̎y̸̡̲̦̥͍̩̰̏̐̅̈̎͒͛̋̇͌̃ : "ShHhhH... FrIeNdS mUsT nøt ReVeAl øThEr'S seCrEts."

*When @Dynamo Pad Dyny and @Dah Onion Eater Ghostie's voice successfully made their way to the ears of S̴̲͂̆͐h̶͕̱͔̯̃̽i̵̩͔̪̝̘̔n̷̝͉̈́̇̃͒̏̆͒̌ỷ̶̦̝̜͕̳̄̕͝, a serie of white eyes with black irises emerged from her body. They were aimed directly at the two, not blinking the slightest.* S̴̲͂̆͐h̶͕̱͔̯̃̽i̵̩͔̪̝̘̔n̷̝͉̈́̇̃͒̏̆͒̌ỷ̶̦̝̜͕̳̄̕͝ : "I sEe YøOøOøU! I aLwAyS sEe eVeRypøNy aT evErY møMeNt! EveN tHe pøNiEs beHiNd mY baCk!" *The eldritch mare said to Dyny and Ghostie, without turning herself to them. Her gaze was still locked on @Discord.* *Standing high on her giant spider legs, she slowly started walking toward the draconequus on them. Her pony legs were swaying underneath her, not touching the floor of the stage, and her tentacles were swirling menacingly. The large creepy smile on her face as well as her plain white eyes filtered her intentions.*

*As @Samurai Equine Trilby was handing, or rather hooving, Croissanto to Shiny, the newly repaired puppet left a gasp escape from it's articulated mouth. He had heard the conversation between @Discord, @Pinkie Pie and @Dynamo Pad, as well as their reactions after eating the cake batter. He knew that the unicorn with a silver mane had also tasted some of the cake, it was too late now.* Croissanto : "SHINY!!! THE FLAVOR OF THIS CAKE IS POISON JOKES!!! IT CONTAINS POISON JOKES!!!" *The croissant-shaped puppet yelled with pure terror in his voice. He was still being held by Trilby, since the mare didn't have time to pick him up.* Shiny : "You talk?! But you're not even in my hooves?! What kind of magic is this?!" *Shiny responded to Croissanto, in shock.* Croissanto : "The magic of friendship? Maybe you shouldn't be buying suspicious items from mysterious merchants that you never see again." Shiny : "That's fair!" *She said, while rising both of her front hooves on each side of her in a "I don't know" pose.* *All of a sudden, Shiny Silvermoon sank on her hooves and began to groan, as if undergoing a sharp pain.* Shiny : "W-What's happening to me? I don't feel so good…" *She painfully wondered out loud.* Croissanto : "Don't you remember what happened with Zecora in the Everfree Forest?" *The croissant-shaped puppet answered her with another question.* *The unicorn attempted to remember, regardless of the pain consuming her. She suddenly had a flashback.* Shiny : "I… I got a license to drive steam boats?" *Quickly, the funny pony that was making puns on the stage not so long ago transformed into something that wasn't pony anymore. In a matter of seconds, Shiny's usual white coat became pitch black, while her eyes turned entirely white with a weak glow emanating from them. Her mouth was now stretched impossibly wide into an uncanny smile that was showcasing razor-like teeth. Where there used to be hooves, the mare now had claws as sharp as they were long.* *However, what truly caught everypony's attention was her legs. Not her pony legs but the four pairs of giant spider-like legs that protruded from her back. They were protected by black chitin and their endings were sharp. Shiny Silvermoon was standing tall on them, her pony legs hanging meters above the ground. Underneath the body of the "unicorn", there was a countless amount of lengthy tentacles which were swirling and undulating. If her silver mane and tail with icy blue strands weren't betraying her identity, nopony would have recognized Shiny. Her unsettling appearance would have been able to frighten the most horrible monsters and her otherworldly stare was unbearable.* Shiny (???) : "DiiiiiiiiiisCøRd…" *The 'thing' murmured to the draconequus, while staring intensively at him with her blank eyes. Her voice was glitchy, similar to a dysfunctional audio. Every cells in Discord's body was screaming to him that he should put as much distance between the uncanny creature and himself.* "I nEver reAlized høW dEliCiøus yøu loOk!" Croissanto : "Keep absolutely still. Her vision is based on mouvement. I think…"

*As a tsunami of deep blue colored cake was shot directly onto Shiny from the gigantic cannon, Croissanto thought that it was the end for her so he made a military salute toward the mare, or rather imagined himself doing that, since he doesn't have any arm. In his mind, everything was going in slow motion.* Croissanto : "I shall avenge your death, comrade, by becoming a symbole that the forces of evil will learn to fear! I might not be the croissant that Ponyville deserves but I'm the croissant they get! Blablabla… Great powers! Blablabla… Great responsibilities! Blablabla… I will be justice! I will be the night! I will be Bat-…" *As the delicious flood washed away and revealed the unicorn's figure completely covered in cake batter.* Croissanto : "Never mind, she's still alive." *The croissant-shaped puppet in @Samurai Equine Trilby's hooves said with a neutral tone of voice.* *Shiny shook the cake batter off herself, alike a dog would do, getting herself all clean. However, there was still some remaining on her hoof for her to taste which she did.* Shiny : "Mmmmh! Yummy! What's the flavor, @Discord?"

*Croissanto's glass-made eyes rolled up to stare directly at the missing spot of fabric on the top of his head. @Discord had taken a bite out of it.* Croissanto : "Great. I'll have to get this repaired by an artisan. For now, I need to hide this. An hat would do the job. If only I knew somepony who could make me an hat." *The croissant-shaped puppet said with his mild annoyance transpiring in his voice.* *Then, Croissanto waited for a certain pony to react. When he realized that @Samurai Equine Trilby was too overjoyed to have his hat back to pay attention to him, the puppet in Shiny's hoof repeated himself.* Croissanto : "Ahem! If only I knew somepony who could make me an HAT!" *Without any warning, Shiny and Croissanto found themselves in the line of fire of a giant and menacing canon.* Shiny : "FEAR NOT CROISSANTO, I'LL SACRIFICE MYSELF TO SAVE YOU!!!" *The mare yelled to the croissant-shaped puppet.* Croissanto : "What do you mean? You can just step asid- Waaaaah!" *Before he could finish his sentence, the unicorn with a silver mane launched him into Trilby's hooves. She was now waving at the two with a surprisingly serene expression.* Shiny : "Goodbye, guys!"

*Misfortunately for @Discord who attempted to take a bite out of Croissanto, he was an inedible puppet made of fabric.* Croissanto : "My name is Croissanto and it's funny to hear you call me an abomination. Have you found yourself in the same room as a mirror lately?" *Meanwhile, Shiny Silvermoon was too excited to be part of Discord's performance. She was bouncing on the stage with so much joy.* *However, her happiness was suddenly interrupted by the sight of @Samurai Equine Trilby pleading for his hat. The mare felt sad for the poor hatmaker and wanted to help him. Shiny turned her head and glanced up at the draconequus beside her.* Shiny : "Mr. Discord, it would be highly appreciated if you would give back the hat that you stole. Stealing is a crime that Fluttershy wouldn't be proud of learning that you commited." *She tried to take him by the feelings by speaking about Fluttershy.*

*As soon as @Discord requested the help of a volunteer for his performance, the high pitched screamings of Shiny Silvermoon were heard once more among the crowd.* Shiny : "ME! ME! ME! CHOOSE ME! DO IT!" *The mare was frantically waving her free hoof high above her head, while bouncing on her seat.* *Croissanto, on the other hand (litterally since he was in the other hoof of Shiny), seemed more reserved about approaching a god of chaos. Misfortunately, he didn't have much choice but to follow his partner in crime.*

*Suddenly a scream pierced the silence of the crowd, after @Dynamo Pad asked if anypony else would like to participate. However, it was just Shiny.* Shiny : "NANI?! THERE'S A WINNER?!" Croissanto : "What an unexpected turn of event! It seems like this was a contest all along!" *The Croissant-shaped puppet added to the unicorn's dramatic reaction.*

One day, I'll be good enough in English to understand this joke. For now, I'll just make a joke myself! It's the story of a pony who was eating peanut butter everyday! One day, he got tired of eating peanut butter so he stopped before going… Nut!!!
