==Script==
(We open on nighttime in Canterlot City where Sci-Twi is in the school lab doing something and she has he lab coat on and looks like how she was in the post credit scene in Rainbow Rocks and she hears the door opening and sees Principal Celestia)
Principal Celestia:Twilight, it's after dark. You should be heading home now.
Sci-Twi:Sorry Principal Celestia I was just fixing a formula that could change all of man kind as we know it.
Principal Celestia:If this is like the story of the man who transforms into a monster I don't want to know. Anyway pack up when you leave. I'll stay here but inform me when you're ready to go.
Sci-Twi:Thanks I will.
(Closes the door and Twilight goes back to work)
Sci-Twi:This'll be a unique scientific opportunity. I wish the others would be here to witness it.
Spike:They're at home in bed. Which is what we should be doing. Can't you at least do that when we get home?
Sci-Twi:I know Spike but Shining Armor will get mad if I use the kitchen as a laboratory.
Spike:Ok.
(Picks him up)
Sci-Twi:You are about to witness a merical. Only your eyes will see what might indeed frighten the devil himself. 
(Spike yawns as he is on the counter and scratches his ears as Twilight goes over to a mirror)
Sci-Twi:You're a lucky girl Twilight. A good student to both Canterlot High and Crystal Prep. Born to be Velma Dinkley of Canterlot City. Wanting for nothing. Able to help out your friends like Sunset Shimmer who is your best friend, and of course there's Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and finally Fluttershy. (Cuts to her who is not the reflection) At last on the break of a discovery that will astound the world. (Cuts to the glass) If this experiment works I will have separated the two parts within me. (Says that when we move up to the window we then cut back to her) It will free my evil nature and leave me with my good self. (Back to a shot of her as Spike comes up to her)And that should put an end to Micro Chips for being the best wiz kid in school once and for all. (Cuts to her)If I fail then I will die. (Cuts to Spike)And you alone can tell. (Spike licks himself cuts to Twilight looking at her reflection)Oh help me. (Looks at it and then back to the mirror)Make it work. 
(Starts to drink it and feels funny and throws the glass down causing it to break cuts to Spike who freaks out)
Spike:Yow!
(Zips to hide some place cuts to Twilight transforming into a monster and it is similar to the one from the Friendship Games cuts to Spike who peers out)
Spike:Twilight?
(Twilight gets up and has Midnight Sparkle's skin tone and she opens her eyes and they are the color of Midnight Sparkle's eyes)
Sci-Twi:There is no Twilight there is only Midnight!
(Gets up on the floor and then starts to transform into Midnight Sparkle)
Midnight Sparkle:I'm back! And unstoppable!
(Cuts to Spike who has the same look on his face when he saw her like this before)
Spike:Oh no. Not again.
(Hides and Midnight Sparkle flies out through a window, Principal Celestia comes in)
Principal Celestia:What happened in here Spike?
Spike:She's back!
Principal Celestia:"She"?
Spike:Midnight Sparkle!
(Cuts to the Mystery Patroller parked outside the Sweet Snack Cafe we see Midnight Sparkle coming she opens the back door and ducks into the back to hide in it and slowly closes the door as she laughs we then fade to inside where we see Pinkie serving the gang)

(Danny's ice cream is on top of Rubble's and Danny is like "What?" cuts to the ice cream as Danny looks at it)
Danny:Hey! What kind of a magic trick is that?!
(Rubble puts his spoon under it and launches it up in the air after hitting it and he opens his tongue out and the ice cream lands on his tongue and he closes his mouth cuts back to scene)
Ace:That's called The Vanishing Ice Cream Trick, Danny.
(Cuts to Danny who is angry)
Danny:Well next time he tires it, I'm gonna pull a Vanishing Rubble Trick!
(Rubble cuddles up to him and the gang are heard laughing as Danny has a calm smile as if to say "I can't stay mad at you" we fade to the gang exiting the restaurant)
Ryder:Come on gang, it's time we find a hotel.
(Cuts to Danny)

(Drives off cuts to the back seat where Rubble is up by the back of the front seat listening to them)
Danny:Well long trips get me hungry.
(We pull into a blanket thing as we hear Rubble say)
Rubble:(OS)Me too.

Danny:Yeah like me too.
(They say that because they have their arms wrapped around theirselves cuts to Ryder and Katie)

(Cuts to him at the back of the front seat)
Danny:Like what is it Rub?
(Cuts to him and Ace as Rubble makes monster faces cuts to the van still driving as Rubble babbles)
Ace:I think he's had too many ice creams.
(Cuts to back where he still babbles and points to where Midnight Sparkle is at and she finally comes up cuts to her cackling Ryder stops the van cuts to the front of the van as they look at her and yell)
Gang:A GHOST!
(They run out the doors on either side and scream cuts to the gang popping up from behind a log Rubble pops his head from a hole sticking from the top on the log as they hear Midnight Sparkle still cackling cuts to her with the back door on the right open and she runs off cackling flying into the marshes)
Ryder:(OS)Look. (Cuts to them)The Ghost is going into the marshes.
(Cuts to Ace and Danny)
Ace:Did you get a look at her face?
Danny:Yeah. (Cuts to him)She'd make a fortune (Cuts to him and Rubble) Renting herself out to Halloween parties.
(They both laugh cuts to Ace and Katie)
Ace:That's not what I meant! That's Twilight Sparkle's human counterpart's evil ego, Midnight Sparkle.
(Cuts to Katie)
Katie:You mean that evil alter ego she transformed into during the last competition of the Friendship Games?
(Cuts to Ace and Danny)
Ace:The very same.
Danny:(To Ace) Like I wonder what Midnight Sparkle was doing (Cuts to him and Rubble)hiding in the Mystery Patroller. I mean didn't Sunset Shimmer and the rest defeat her at the Friendship Games?
Rubble:I thought they did too.
(Cuts to Ryder walking)
Ryder:Well there's one way to find out. Come on. (Cuts to Danny and Rubble)Let's follow her.
(They both gulp we fade to a spooky old abandon mansion as lightening flashes and we cut to Midnight Sparkle walking into the house through the front door chucking evilly)
(Cuts to the gang in the bushes)
Katie:She went into that spooky looking old house.
(Cuts to Ace and Danny)

Danny:Me scared? (Chuckles nervously)Like don't be silly. 
(Bites Rubble's nails cuts to him, Ace and Rubble)

(Danny realizes)
Danny:So I am. Sorry Rubble.
(Cuts to Rubble as Danny chuckles nervously Rubble then smiles)
Ryder:(OS)Come on. (Cuts to them walking)Let's see if we can find a back way into that creepy old place.
(Scene slider comes from left to right and the gang are at the back door)
Katie:(Opens the back door)Hey the back door's unlocked.
Ace:(As Katie opens it more)This is gonna be easier than we thought.
(Trap door opens from under and they fall into it cuts to inside of a basement as they are on an old worn out mattress complaining about who it hurt)
Ace:Look what happened!
Danny:OW!
Katie:Ohh.
Ace:Ouch!
(Cuts to Rubble getting his muzzle unstuck and pulls out and has a spring on it and struggles trying to pull it off and gets it off and his muzzle goes wobbly and stops)
Rubble:Whew.
(Cuts to Danny and the rest of the gang)
Danny:Like wouldn't you know that back door would trigger and trap door?
(Back to scene)
Ryder:Yeah and look where we've landed.
(We pan though the place and it's a spooky basement)
Ace:Right in the middle of a scary looking basement.
Katie:(OS)It must belong to Midnight Sparkle.
(Cuts to the gang, they get up)
Ryder:Let's have a look around.
(Cuts to Danny and Rubble)
Rubble:(Nods back and forth)Nuh-uh not me.
Ace:Hey this could be a clue. It's a conviction notice from the city council. It says that this place is to be torn down immediately.
Danny:Like what kind of clue is that?
Ace:If it was to be torn down then they should have done it months ago.
Ryder:Then there should be more clues around here somewhere.
Katie:Like this pair of cloth that look like they've been cut out to look like eyeholes.
Danny:Hey like this pair of scissors could be a clue.
Ryder:Well that is a start. Hey look at that. A fishing line.
Rubble:This note reads "Danger leave this place so says the Phantom" And "danger" is with a capital D.
Danny:Like zoinks man. Let's vacate this place.
Rubble:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(They leave the basement leaving only Danny and Rubble behind)
Danny:Hey wait for us!
(Runs after them cuts to them walking in the hall way)
Danny:Man this place is furnished in early Halloween. Or as they say it in Ponyville. Nightmare Night.
(They pass a portrait of an old sea captain who's eyes move to the right when they walk past it)
(Cuts to them)
Danny:I thought we just came in here to find out what Midnight Sparkle is up to.
Ace:Don't you sense a mystery?
Danny:I sure do. Like why are we here?
Katie:Hey look at that. (Picks up a copy of The Canterlot Press) Ghost attack. The Phantom has struck again stealing jewels from jewelry stores and museums.
Ace:What would a ghost be doing with a newspaper?
Ryder:This is a clue.
Danny:Can we go home now?
Ryder:No.
Danny:Aw man.
Rubble:Cone on Danny let's go find the kitchen. I'm starving.
Danny:You read my stomach pal.
Ryder:While they're off doing that we'll keep looking for clues.
(Ryder and Ace walk off leaving Katie by herself)
Katie:Maybe I should go with them. 
(Walks off and a hand nearly grabs her we fade to the kitchen where Danny and Rubble are making a sandwich)
Danny:Now all we need is a little mustard.
(Rubble licks his lips the Phantom hands them a bottle)
Phantom:(Eerie voice)Here is some mustard.
(They turn to see it and freak out)
Rubble:AHHHH! THE PHANTOM!!!!!!
Danny:RUN!
(They run as the Phantom cackles and goes after them cuts to the gang out in the back where there is a graveyard and the guys come running)
Danny:We saw him, we saw him!
Ace:Who?
Danny and Rubble:THE PHANTOM!
Katie:(About what Danny and Rubble said)Oh no. (Spots someone or something) Look. (Cuts to the angle like in the opening of Scooby-Doo cartoons where the gang see the Phantom)The Phantom.
Phantom:I warn you. Leave the mansion. The Phantom has spoken.
(Cuts to Danny)
Danny:Like you don't have to convince me man. I'm gone.
(Cuts to Ryder who refuses)
Ryder:We're not afraid of you pal!
(Cuts to Phantom)
Phantom:Very well then. You shall suffer the wraith of the Phantom.
(Cuts to Ryder)
Ryder:Let's get out of here!
(They run off cuts to inside the mansion where they run through the house and Danny and Rubble run down a hallway and roll up a carpet on the Phantom causing him to roll off and crash out the door)
Danny:It looks like he's on a roll old buddy.
Rubble:Yeah.
(Unknown to them Midnight Sparkle comes from the right side behind them and they hear her cackle they turn around to see her and freak out cuts to Danny and Rubble)
Danny:Where did you come from?!
(Midnight Sparkle launches herself at them and Ryder opens a door on her)
Ryder:Come on you guys!
(They run off to go hide cuts to them)
Ryder:We've got to stop this ghost!
Ace:Hey gang I think I found the clue to end all clues. Look at this.
(Shows them a carpetbag full of jewelry)
Ryder:Wow. Look at all those necklaces, diamonds and pearls and rings.
Katie:Why would a ghost need jewels?
Danny:Like maybe he's a female.
Rubble:That would make it a she then.
Ryder:Or it could be a hungry jewel thief.
Ace:I smell a trap coming on.
(We fade to Danny and Rubble running with the bag)
Phantom:Return that bag to me! It is my bag!
(They run and a chandler falls on the ghost trapping him like he was in a cage)
Ryder:Got him! Nice work gang.
Ace:Whoever the Phantom is he's probably also Midnight Sparkle.
(Katie pulls the sheet off revealing a middle age man)
Gang:Who is that?!
(We fade to the gang talking with the police)
Officer:Congratulations kids. You've just caught Big Benton. The most toughest jewel thief in the country. He's been stealing jewels from the towns he visits and keeps them for himself to sale.
Ryder:That explains a lot. He's been haunting this house in order to scare people away.
Katie:He used this house for a hideout so nobody would come to interfere in his money scheme.
Ace:He did a forgery on this conviction notice as if it were from the mayor of Canterlot and he used it on a typewriter.
Ryder:(Hands the jewels in the carpetbag to the policeman)And here's the jewels officer.
Officer:Thanks kids. Because of you this guy's going away for a long time.
Big Benton:(Scoffs)I would have gotten away with this if it weren't for you meddling.....!
Officer:Let's go Benton!
Danny:Wait. Were you Midnight Sparkle? And if you were. How did you be in two places at once. I mean we rolled you up in a carpet rug and you went out the door and after that Midnight Sparkle was behind us.
Big Benton:What are you talkin about kid? I was only the Phantom. Who's this Midnight Sparkle you're talkin about?
Danny:Creepy, purple, and winged unicorn like creature.
Rubble:What he means it she's a human alicorn.
Big Benton:You kids are crazy. (To policeman)Take me away.
Officer:Get moving.
Ryder:Another mystery solved. Let's go and find a hotel for the night.
Katie:I got the evidence. The bedsheet that was used for the ghost costume and the fishing line.
(Cuts to the Mystery Patroller driving through Canterlot City cuts to inside of the van, Danny is just frozen)
Ace:What's bugging you Danny?
Danny:I can't understand about Midnight Sparkle. If Big Benton wasn't it, then who?
Rubble:Another mystery for another day.
Danny:I guess you're right old buddy.
(Cuts to outside the van with an angle where Midnight Sparkle is watching them when we pull back to her and she cackles we cut to her face we dissolve to the hotel the gang are staying at cuts to inside the hotel where in their room they are talking about stuff)
Ryder:Another case closed alright even though I said it.
Danny:Like man I still don't know about this you guys. 
Ace:Will you quit worrying about Midnight Sparkle?! So it was probably somebody else.
Ryder:We'll have to figure that out in the morning.
(Goes to bed cuts to Midnight Sparkle walking out of Twilight's house)
Midnight Sparkle:Free at last. Now I can do as I please.
(Goes down the street cuts to a man who is wiping the sidewalks off with a broom and dust pan, unknown to him is that Midnight Sparkle is watching him and she flies to him and drains him of his lifeforce and with her feet as he can feel himself getting weaker and weaker we blackout and fade to Sugar Cube Corner the next day where inside the Mystery Patrol is reading the paper about their case)
Ryder:Hey listen to this gang. Mystery Patrol expose Phantom as fake.
(Cuts to the newspaper with the headline on top of their photo with the policeman and Big Benton the "Mystery Patrol" part is on top and the "Expose Phantom as fake" part is on below it)
Ryder:(OS)Big Benton taken into custody by police.
(Cuts to Ace)
Ace:That was some plan he had.
(Cuts to Katie)
Katie:Yeah and besides nobody can outsmart the Mystery Patrol.
(Danny and Rubble eat their own pancakes cuts to Twilight walking in feeling terrible as she goes up to the counter)
Sci-Twi:Milkshake please.
Mrs. Cake:Coming up.
(Cuts back to the gang)
Danny:Like say man what's with Twilight?
(Cuts back to her and Mrs. Cake)
Mrs. Cake:Here Twilight.
Sci-Twi:Thanks.
(Takes it and goes over to the gang)
Sci-Twi:Hey guys mind if I seat with you?
Ryder:Sure go right ahead Twilight.
Sci-Twi:Thanks. (Seats down)I need help with a problem. 
Rubble:Oh boy.
Ryder:What is it?
Sci-Twi:I got this feeling that Midnight Sparkle is back and she's wanting to take over me.
Ryder:Don't worry Twilight. We'll investigate this mystery.
Danny:(Sarcastically)Like leave it to us to go find Midnight Sparkle.
Rubble:Yeah. It only leaves us to being chased by her.
Ryder:Come on you guys.
(They leave we move over to Twilight and fade to the school laboratory)
Sci-Twi:(Sighs)If only they knew. If only they knew. (To Spike)But you know.
Spike:Twilight you know you don't have to do this. This'll only cause people to get hurt.
Sci-Twi:I know Spike. But after finding out Midnight Sparkle is still inside me I need to find a way get get her out and keep her out of me. I want my good side to be the only one inside of my body.
Spike:I just don't want you to get hurt or the potion to kill you. That's all.
Sci-Twi:She's the Ghost of Midnight Sparkle. But don't worry I hired the Mystery Patrol to investigate.
Spike:I worried about you Twilight. I really am truly terrified. I don't want you to die.
Sci-Twi:Don't worry Spike I won't. The gang said they were gonna investigate the house she went into last night. I'm going there tonight myself. Come on Spike it's time we head for home.
(Picks him up and gathers her stuff and leaves)
Pinkie Pie:Hey Twilight, wanna go to Sugar Cube Corner?
Sci-Twi:Not today Pinkie. Thanks anyway.
Pinkie Pie:Ok suit yourself. More for the rest of us.
(Skips happily away we fade to Twilight's house where in her room she is working on the experiment)
Sci-Twi:This'll do. I don't wanna disturb Shining and Cadence's date. They're watching movies downstairs in the living room. And Flurry is in her crib.
(Cuts to them watching a horror movie Cadence cuddles up to Shining Armor as the thunder in the movie goes off)
Cadence:Shining hold me.
Shining Armor:Don't worry Cadence it's only a movie.
Cadence:That's all I hope it is. Only a movie.
(Cuts to the front door as knocking can be heard causing Cadence to jump to Shining Armor in fear dropping the popcorn bowl, Shining gets up to go to the door and opens it revealing the Mystery Patrol as Rubble looks like he's been sniffing)
Ryder:Hi Shining Armor. We hope we didn't disturb you.
Shining Armor:Not at all Ryder. Do come in.
Ryder:Thanks.
(They enter the house)
Shining Armor:See Cadence? It was only the Mystery Patrol.
Cadence:Oh, ok.
Danny:Ohh, popcorn.
(He and Rubble eat it)
Cadence:That was on the floor.
(They look at her)
Danny:(Shrugs it off)Eh doesn't matter.
Rubble:Yeah.
(They continue to eat it)
Ryder:Shining forgive me for asking but we were led here by Rubble because we thought Midnight Sparkle was here.
Shining Armor:You mean my sister's alter ego? We haven't seen her since the Friendship Games. 
Ace:Is she here?
Shining Armor:Yes, she's up in her room with only Spike to keep her company.
Ace:I ment Midnight Sparkle.
Shining Armor:No, not that I can think of.
Katie:We've got the wrong house.
Ryder:Maybe we should head back to the house from the Phantom case.
(Danny bites his nails being scared)
Ryder:Come on Danny man up. We got to go back to the house to solve this mystery,
Danny:It's not the house it's this movie.
Rubble:Come on let's go.
