Okay I'm breaking this dream into several postings, but this will be this the final confrontation with the being that has been possessing Applebloom in my Equestria dreamscape.
"Applebloom are you sure this is the way to the clubhouse?"
Sweetie Bell and butter yellow filly had been plodding through the snowy orchards of Sweet Apple Acres for several minutes now. Applebloom had told the unicorn filly that due to heavy snowfall they had to take a different route to reach the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9694382/ but Sweetie Bell was certain they were not heading in the right direction at all. The snow was getting deeper and Applebloom had made so many changes in directions that the little white unicorn filly couldn't see the red barn/ farmhouse anymore. In fact she wasn't even certain where in the orchard they were now.
Applebloom suddenly stopped in front of a random tree, her back was to Sweetie Bell. "This seems like a good of place as any." The little filly didn't seem to be talking to anyone in particular and her voice suddenly had a chilling quality to it.
"Um, Applebloom where are we?" Sweetie Bell suddenly felt a her skin crawl. Being in the middle of this orchard on such a drab, cold, dreary day was suddenly ominous . Sweetie Bell suddenly wanted to be someplace, any place other than right here with this filly.
"Where are we." Chuckled Applebloom. "That is easy." She spun around and began bearing down on Sweetie Bell. "We are at the end of the line for you."
Sweetie Bell started backing away from her friend. There was something about her that she found very disturbing. Applebloom closed her eyes and lowered her head for just a moment when she raised her head again her eyes were pitch black. She was now leering at the unicorn filly with a mouth full of dagger-like teeth, and from her forehead there was a black horn growing out of it that squirmed like some gigantic obscene worm. From Applebloom's shadow black tendrils were growing and whipping around.Sweetie Bell let out a piercing scream that would've made a steam whistle proud. The Deception meant to grab her with the same spell she'd restrained Twilight http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9291570/ with but once again Applebloom briefly seized control of her own body.
"RUN SWEETIE! PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF!" Screamed Applebloom
Sweetie Bell turned and took off galloping through orchards.
Myself and one of the Royal Guard shooters, a private named Blue Cloud, were flying a zig zag pattern over rows of apple trees when we heard Sweetie Bell's scream. After a couple seconds of searching we spotted movement amongst the trees. Sweetie Bell was running straight down between the rows of trees, behind her I could see another figure in pursuit of her. With hindsight I should've informed Blue Cloud what I was going to do but I just acted. Pouring on the speed I went into shallow dive toward Sweetie Bell. I shot right over Applebloom and scooped the fleeing unicorn filly up in my front hooves. Beating my wings furiously was able to pull up in steady climb away. Unfortunately Sweetie Bell was hysterical at this point and for several seconds wouldn't stop punching and kicking me with her little hooves. It took all my willpower not to drop her. Rainbow Dash would've been so proud of me.
Blue Cloud was beginning to take aim on Applebloom when I decided to play hero. Cursing under his breath he held his fire until I had completed my theatrical rescue. Having it prey snatched from its clutches the Deception became confused and enraged. It slid to a halt on the snowy ground and looked around for any other fliers. It saw Blue Cloud just as he opened fire. Raising both his front legs Blue Cloud leveled his weapons and commenced firing. In fast succession he emptied all eight barrels from his weapons. Applebloom vanished in a cloud of churning snow as bursting shells detonated and buckshot slammed into the area around her.
To be continued.

It's not hard to imagine. Pic any grimdark pony fanfic or comic from DeviantArt and you'll see. There's not a lot of difference between them. Dark themes are hard to pull off well in a setting like MLP, and the fact that this is based on dreams makes the chances of that even slimmer. No offense. I've just never seen this dance done well.
Wow. Never thought you'd have any part to play in this other than witness/chronicler.
I really like the way the soldiers throughout this aren't just generic troopers, but have names, personalities, unique weapons and skills... no one here ever feels like a throw-away victim character.
