Talk:Bats!/@comment-10390252-20131227161852

Okay... Shot in the dark here. The 'vampirism' is some kind of magical sickness that is spread through eating something that has been bitten by the bats. Its' main symptoms are a need to protect the bats and a near-uncontrollable lust for fruits (which may or may not actually exist).

I'm wondering if all the Mane Six get infected but AJ breaks out of the hallucination because her essential honesty can't allow her to live in a lie when her friends are in danger. This breaks the spell and she's able to free her friends by some power she doesn't understand. As everyone stands around blinking, a flash of orange magic emerges from her heart and resolves into the Apple Key of Honesty.
