Snow is yanked from her world of thought by that same shadow pony. She comptlated running again but decided against it as this pony might be able to help. "I don't know, as far as I can tell, everypony has dissappeared from town, do you think you could help?" she asked quietly.
"Maybe, this land is under my care after all I might as well look into it." says Rashall to the white mare.
Haze had flipped through about forty books now, picking each up, checking it for any contents, then tossing it on a "Useless" Pile, disappointed. She picked up one book, and opened it. She flipped through the blank pages, expecting the same outcome as then forty-odd others, when she found a single page, filled with some kind of text. She almost cried out with delight, and began to read the page. It was written in some strange language, and she couldn't possibly understand it. It read "Ess cal qo tentua co longual". The words were written, over and over, along this single page. Somepony else might know what this garbage is... She pocketed it, and searched some more for objects of potential use.
As Snow sat there conversing with the mysterious stallion, her horn started glowing, "Oh Celestia, here we go again." she muttered. She floated into the air slightly and then her horn released a massive flash of green light, and Snow blacked out.
Rashall watched the action and then proceeded to drag the pony into a shaded spot. "Now what was that all about?" he says to nopony in particular.
After an hour or so, Snow finally woke up. She first saw the same shadowy pony as before, but then she saw a greenish pony that looked like it was made of gas or light, walking into the town. The sight surprised her so much that she shot straight up, ran into a branch and knocked herself out again.
From inside the library, Haze saw an almighty green flash. As the windows exploded with pure green light, and her ears were left ringing, she ran outside to see what was happening. She saw that the flashes of light were coming from under a tree on the edge of town, and sprinted towards the commotion making sure not to look directly at the flashes.
Edge was rummaging through Sugar Cube Corner while eating some cookies from a jar the first thing he noticed where smashed plates filled with un-eaten sweets like the ponies just disapeard while walking with a plate. He sat on a chair munching on his cookies because he was very hungry until he saw a glint of a shiny object. He jumped off the chair and put the cookie jar on the table and headed towards the shiny object he picked it up to see it was a letter in a bottle? Edge shrugged and broke the glass and opened it to see a note that said "Watch out for the green!" Edge slowy said confused he shurrged and shoved it into his pocket and started to find any other clues. While looking he heard a loud bang that broke all the windows and he was blasted back hitting the counter he groaned in pain and slowly got up he grabbed one of the sweets and was covered in glass Edge groaned and threw away the sweet and started to painfully run towards the sound of the explosion.
Haze arrived to find Snow unconscious on the ground, with the mysterious grey pony looking over her. "What the heck have you done!" She screamed!
When Snow finally wakes up again, she finds Haze arguing with the shadowy pony. "So what did you do!" she heard Haze yell, to which the shadow pony just said "Nothing." Haze was about to continue argueing but Snow got up and calmed Haze down and explained what had happened. Afterwards, they argeed to split up again to find more clues, and to figure out what the green flash did. Snow decided to walk straight towards the town center. The closer that she got to the center of the town, the more of the greenish ponies appeared. She couldn't interact with them, it was as if they were going about their daily lives, wait, daily.....lives? "That's it" she yelled to nopony in particular, whatever her most recent incident did, it finally acually helped her! The longer she watched, the more the idea was confirmed, that she had revealed what the ponies were doing in the last day before their disappearance. She decided to pay the library a visit as Celestia had told her that the other student of her's that lived in ponyville lived in the library, maybe she could see what happened to her.
Zephyr woke up in the apple tree after about an hour's worth of napping. He had eaten a few apples and decided to camp out in the tree for a while as he had grown tired from his own games. Flapping a single wing, he rolls himself off of the tree's branch and lands down onto the ground with a loud SQUISH. A disgusted look spreads across his face and he looks down to see what he had landed in. Upon inspection of it however, he was rather shocked. He had landed in an apple, but it had been there for a while. Instead of being red and crisp, it was instead brown and mushy, which to be honest was close to what he had expected to have landed in. Looking around the area he notices that there are a whole cavalcade of apples surrounding him, all of them very similar to the one he had stepped in. It was a miracle of sorts that this hadn't come to his attention until now, it was like a minefield of sorts, but with apples. He noticed something odd in his peripheral vision and paused to look at it. He peered over his shoulder and spied a weird green cloud off in the distance. Wiping his hoof against the grass to clean it off the brown gunk he had been victim to, he spread his wings and flew over to acquire a better examination. As he flew closer to the target, he began to notice something odd about it. It was green, and seemed to move around in itself a bit, but it still had a bit of structure left and managed to retain a shape. It began to look familiar as he approached, and before he knew it, he realized what it was. The green visage he had gazed upon was in actually a pony. Sort of. It was more of a ghosty type thingamajig, and even weirder yet, it paid him absolutely no mind. Zephyr hovered in front of the visage and waved a hoof in front of it's face. "Oi! Hello? Can you see me? Hello?! I SAID, CAN YOU HEAR ME?" He began shouting at the figment in front of him. He hovered ever closer to it, his curiosity peaking, and he plunged a hoof through the visage's chest. Much to his surprise, there was no resistance and his hoof went through without problem. Scratching his head with the same hoof he looked around to spot 2 others, one big, and one small, going about slamming the trees to no effect. Though their intentions seemed to be to dislodge the apples from the branches, the only thing that would happen is they would pretend apples fell, excluding those that fell on their own of course. "Now when I said 'ghost town' earlier, that wasn't supposed to be literal. What in Equestria is going on around here?"
Edge painfully started to walk but he did notice some kind of green thing that resembled a pony Edge remembered seeing something like that it was the huge bang but Edge remembered something important he got out the note and said "Look out for the green,". Edge looked at the green ponies and started to avoid them but it seemed that they didn't even notice him. He slowly edged towards them and waved his hoof inside of them and they were just ghost "Ghost?" Edge said, "What the heck are they doing here," Edge started to walk but suddenly he tripped he fell towards the ground and a green mist started to surround him he started to panic and screamed for help while the green fog started to slowly consume him out of vision.
Snow finally made it to the library. She looked around and saw a mist pony, and a patch of mist that resembled a baby dragon. She watched the two for awhile before noticing the pony one look at a book then suddenly dropped it in what seemed fear and then wrote down a note. Afterwards, the two ran out of the library leaving Snow all the more confused. She went with the only thing she could think of and chased after the mist pony.
Haze watched as Snow looked around herself, before exclaiming "thats it!" and running towards the library. she stared at the white unicorn, wondering what she had seen- looking around herself, there didn't seem to be much going on. She shouted to Snow "hey, all the books are empty!!", but snow didn't seem to hear her and carried on sprinting off. "She wont get much out of that library, will she?", haze thought to herself This reminded Haze of the book she had picked up. She approached the mysterious pony and asked "hey, guy. What's your name? I found this book in the library, and it was the only book there with anything in it, only it was in a different language... Do you know what it could mean?" She then proceeded to open the book and force it in the ponies face. Snow ran back out of the library, seemingly chasing something. As she waited, Haze watched the pony, unsure of what she was trying to achieve.
Edge was panicking he didn't know what to do he thrashed around but it seemed that he couldn't use any of his legs this made him panic even more he only thought of one solution the fog slowly crawled up his face the fog was now in his lungs. He was coughing and couldn't breath he put his plan into action and used his magic to blow away all of the fog and it worked! He laid on the ground couching up some of the green fog and he slowly stood up and tossed himself onto the nearest bench to go to sleep.
As Snow followed the mist pony, she saw a green shroud starting to envelope Edge. She speed up, and she noticed Edge lay down on a bench while the mist was still engulfing him. She did the only thing she could think of, she lowered her horn and imagined her most powerful spell and locked it in her horn and charged. The moment that her horn hit the mist, she let it go and the green shroud shrieked as it self-destructed in a flash of light. Snow looked at Edge, who was fast asleep, then continued to follow the mist pony.

((So. Many. Posts. Oh God. I'm going to answer Edge's questions then answer to each post accordingly.)) Brave Cape shifts his head down for a moment. Brave "Well... I am... Brave Cape. You could call me that. Or just Brave. Do you know what..." He didn't have time to finish as the white unicorn came to them with some more ponies and started to explain the situation and present a solution. He proceeded to hear them talk, and followed Snow instructions. He though of only one place worth of searching. He made a run to Everfree Forest. ((I suppose you mean Zephyr, right Rashall? Edit, missed some posts.)) Brave Cape struggled for almost an hour, but for naught. He then saw a brief and weak green light coming from behind him. Until he turned around, but it was gone. He dismissed it and continued searching. After some minutes, he though to himself: "Maybe I could find Zecora..." He holds on to that idea and gallops towards her hut, not far from there. Instead of her, however, he finds a strange green mist, moving outside her hut and finally entering it. He decided to follow that strange phenomenon. He approached, closer and closer, until he find out that the mist was indeed Zecora! But as he waved and talked and screamed, she paid no attention. Something was definitely wrong. He decided to return to Ponyville, his efforts useless for that moment, to see what the others had found. Although, the closer he came to the center of Ponyville, more ponies appeared, alike Zecora; ethereal forms of green, doing what they usually did. He recognized some faces going on with their usual routine. He recognized exactly what he expected to find when his hometown came into his vision. Brave "Maybe they're unaware of their state... Or they're doomed to repeat this over and over... Or..." Brave Cape sighs. Brave "I don't know..." He hated not being able to know something. He continued to give it more though as walked past the green shades of Ponyville, trying to understand what was happening. Until something... Clicked inside his mind. Brave "They look like ghosts, they're following their routine, and nothing we do seems to alter what's going on. It's programmed, and unalterable." That's what Dr. Whooves saif of the past to him, before he had created his time machine. But he didn't know where the Doc was know and if his machine would be of use. Either way, he understood. The ponies were reliving their past. Maybe this would lead to what happened to them! He sprinted through Ponyville, trying to find any real pony or a revelant pony ghost. Brave then saw a familiar mane sprinting with a... Baby dragon on her back?! Brave "That's definitely Twilight..." He then saw a real unicorn chasing after her. Brave Cape recognized her: It was Snow, whom he had seen earlier and told them to search for clues. He was on the right track. He proceeded to chase after the newcomer mane, trying to reach up and keep up with her, and try to get anymore information.
Where in Equestria is this pony going, Snow asked herself. She had already followed it from an apple farm, to a animal-filled cottage, to a boutique, from there to some big cloud home, and now the pony was going to a bakery. She had deduced that the ponies it had met where its friends and were warning them of something. Snow followed the pony inside the bakery, and watched as it looked around, 'rang the bell' a few times to no avail, then she put a note into a small glass bottle, and then out of no where, a eatheral mist, similar to the one that tryed to engulf edge suddenly attacked the poor pony. Within seconds, she and the mist had dissappeared. She just stood there in shock of what just happened.
