Digging in deepby ThewarwayzChaptersA dip into darknessA beam of hopeThe storm starts nowThe lost moonSecrets are coming outShed some darknessThe first dropThe silence before the stormThe storm is comingA dip into darknessIt was a nice day In ponyville, the sun was out and few clouds were in the sky. Rarity was pacing back and forth, thoughts racing through her head. What if they find it? the thought of her secrets being discovered by somepony like twilight made Rarity shiver. She needed somepony who could help, she needed somepony who had good advice, and most importantly she needed somepony who had done this before. Applejack. No she may be honest but she hasn't done this before. Rarity quickly discarded AJ from the selection of ponies who could help. Pinkie pie! No she doesn't really have good advice same goes for Rainbow dash. She couldn't think who could help her. Twilight isn't in on it so she out. then it hit her. Fluttershy! I have to get to Fluttershy immediately. Rarity dashed towards Fluttershy's cottage. She couldn't afford to lose anymore time. When Rarity got to the door of Fluttershy's cottage it suddenly swung open. Fluttershy was standing their with a grave look on her face, but at the sight of Rarity she quickly turned happy and a smile spread across her face. "I made a mistake Fluttershy." Rarity quickly said. Fluttershy's grave look returned. "Come inside. We don't want anypony to find out." Fluttershy's said. She wasn't as sheepish as usual today. They entered the cottage. As soon as the door closed Fluttershy spoke. "What do you mean a mistake? Did somepony find out!?" "No. But somepony could smell something. I could too." Rarity responded a bit scared. She knew what Fluttershy could do, she knew what Fluttershy had done. Her mind wandered she kept imagining what Fluttershy would do to her. Fluttershy seemed to notice Rarity's fear. "Oh don't be so scared. I'm not going to hurt you. Besides the only pony in this town who could stop us was picked. Wait who could smell the body?" Fluttershy now seemed concerned. "Apple bloom." The name seemed to hang there for awhile. "Well I don't think AJ will mind if we take one of her slaves and turn them into some nice food and clothing. Besides she has big McInTosh he is worth like 15 ponies." Fluttershy chuckled at her own joke, Rarity just smiled. "Well we will have to ask AJ. Who knows maybe we can just get Apple bloom to help us." The idea of the little filly helping seemed a bit far fetched, but it wasn't impossible. "Wait you said the only pony who could stop us was picked?! It's my turn too." Rarity frowned she enjoyed the company of twilight, sometimes but she was a threat that had to be dealt with. "I'm not going to enjoy this." Fluttershy just smiled. "Well if you won't do it ill just have pinkie pie put your name in the pot and when your name Is drawn ill deal with you, how does that sound?" Rarity staggered back. Did Fluttershy actually just say that? She was speechless. "But your loyal aren't you Rarity? I won't have to kill you will I?" Rarity nodded still saying nothing. "Good. Lets deal with apple bloom." Fluttershy paused for a second. She grabbed a cupcake and took a bite out of it. "Want one? They're a bit juicier then usual though." Author's Note Each chapter will focus on 1 of 4 chacters; Big McInTosh, Rarity, Celestia, or Twilight. A beam of hopeRarity was pacing back and forth (again). She couldn't decide weither she should warn twilight or just stay loyal to Fluttershy. But after hours of thinking she decided it was best to warn twilight, she couldn't kill anymore, and she wouldn't kill anymore. Just then two overly hyper mares burst in; rainbow dash and pinkie pie. "Hey rarity" said rainbow dash sheepishly seeming almost scared. why was rainbow dash of all ponies scared? Rarity quickly concluded this had something to do with their 'business'. "Uh... Rarity... Please don't tell Fluttershy." Rarity knew that it was serious now, if she shouldn't tell Fluttershy then she knew they were in danger. "Don't tell her what?" Rarity tried to comfort her friends be did not succeed. "We haven't actually been killing ponies it's all artificial 'skin' and 'meat'." Pinkie pie said who was severely less happy then usual. Rarity knew their was good in her friends! She also now had 2 ponies she could trust. "I uh.... I'm going to tell... Uh .... Twilight about..... The um murders, and uh warn her that Fluttershy is after her." Rarity confessed. Rainbow dash and pinkie pie both gasped. "Well it looks like ill have to add a few names to the pot" the voice shocked everypony. They all turned around and went pale. There stood Fluttershy with a evil grin on her face, Apple jack stood next to her."I'm glad at least one pony is loyal. Apple jack grab them and lock them up I want them to suffer for many years till they beg for death." Applejack charged. But rainbow dash and pinkie pie were too fast for her. While apple jack was busy with rainbow dash and pinkie pie Rarity escaped. She headed straight for twilights home. When she got their she saw Luna exit her house. what was Luna doing in Twilight's house? Was she in on the scheme? that thought made rarity shiver, maybe she was too late and Luna had just killed twilight, but she had to check. When Rarity knocked on the door their was nothing for a few seconds but when the door swung open she was greeted by an unpleasant surprise, a book flew at her. She ducked just in the nick of time, the book went just over her mane. Suddenly twilight swung at her. Rarity moved out of the way quicker this time. "Twilight! Stop darling I'm here to help you, not kill you!" Rarity yelled. Both rarity and twilight were surprised at how angry she was. "What do you mean your here to 'help' me?" Twilight asked still ready to defend her self. "Well I was coming to warn you that Fluttershy was after you." This news seemed unreal. Fluttershy? Impossible! Right? twilight seemed unsure about her thought. She was confused and Rarity could tell. "You can trust me, and if you see rainbow dash and pinkie pie you can trust them too, hopefully they made it out ok." "What do you mean 'made it out ok'? Out of where?" "Last I saw of them apple jack was attack them. I think apple jack is after you too she's really loyal to flutter-" Rarity stopped mid sentence. "Oh my is that you sweetie bell?" Asked rarity, she could of swore she just saw sweetie bell. "Yeah it's me." She responded. Rarity smiled she was glad sweetie bell was safe. The storm starts nowIt was time. Celestia was ready, she had sharpened her tools. She walked over to Luna's room and bucked down the door, but Luna wasn't their. that would of been too easy Celestia giggled, she was going to have to chase her prey. this will be fun. she walked to the entrence of the castle and flew towards ponyville, she did want to bring Fluttershy along anyway and Luna was talking to twilight more often so she thought she would be their. When she got to ponyville she could see everypony was confused. "I'm just here looking for something I dropped, please just ignore my presence." Celestia commanded in a soft voice, she didn't want to attract any attention. She walked to Fluttershy's cabin and found she wasn't their, so she decided to look around town. When she walked to Rarity's she heard crying, scream and laughter, she could reconize the laugh; it was Fluttershy's. Celestia frowned, she never thought her student would be that sloppy. She walked inside to see Fluttershy standing by the door way while Apple jack was hog tying a cyan mare and yelling at already hog tied pink mare "shut up". "What is going on in here?" Asked Celestia she was confused, why was Apple Jack helping Fluttershy? Everypony turned towards Celestia. "Oh thank you! Celestia help! These two are criminals! Their going to kill us!" Yelled rainbow dash. But Celestia just stood their, a smile spread across her face. "Uh Celestia? A little help? Celestia?....." Rainbow dash was terrified why wasn't Celestia helping? "And why would I punish my loyal student when she's doing so well?" Celestia finally responded. "But Twilight's your Loy-" "Twilight? Ha, that pony is just a cover for me and she doesn't even know it." Celestia snickered, a smilie apeared on her face. "Fluttershy is my loyal student, and she's doing well she has got apple jack to help her. Oh that reminds me! Fluttershy how would you like to help me kill Luna and twilight? We can add those two into the mix." Fluttershy smiled, anytime her teacher asked her to help kill somepony it was an extreme honor. "Sure, that would be wonderful!" She said. She couldn't contain her excitement. "I think twilight knows already it seems Rarity escaped, which means Luna must know, I might be wanted by your guards right now." Fluttershy frowned she didn't like things being tough. "Well we will have to make a scene." Celestia opened the door and walked out side, if she was going to make a scene she wanted the weather to be exactly how she wanted it. She flew up to the sky and started turning all the normal clouds into storm clouds. When she was finally done almost every spec of light was gone. "Well it's time!" Something caught her eye; an alicorn! It was Luna, she was flying towards canterlot. This was Celestia only chance to capture Luna, and she took it. She rocketed at Luna cause her horn to drive into Luna's spleen. Luna feel to the ground the pain was too much for her. Celestia bolt downward, driving her horn into Luna again. The pain caused Luna to pass out. Author's Note Chapters from this one on will be focused on twilight or Celestia. I have very little time to do this so when I have spare I'm going to finish the new chapter, and I promise ill start righting better, also I'm going to start up a new story. :) The lost moonRarity had just finished explaining everything. "But... That..." Twilight was terrified she couldn't handle it. She had to get some fresh air, but when she walked out side she was greeted by a storm. Twilight gasped, their on the floor was a dieing alicorn: Luna. "Luna! What happened?!" She ran towards Luna. "Twilight... Run... Tia is.... Going to.... Kill you..." Luna managed to say before celestia came charging down and crushed luna's skull. Some of Luna's brain got in celetia's mouth. She licked her lips and swallowed. "Mmm so good...I wan't more!" Celestia used her magic to pick up all the brain and shove it in her mouth. She gulped hard. "Now you next twilight, come on make this easy on you!" Celestia yelled. "You've gone mad." Celestia turned to see AJ, rainbow dash, pinkie pie, twilight and big Macintosh. "Where is flutter shy?" Celestia commanded. "Dead" big Macintosh said in a powerful voice. "I only needed one helper anyway!" Celestia howled. As a peice of brain fell out of her mouth. She caught it mid air and shoved in back in her mouth. "Applejack kill them" applejack picked up and apple and chucked it at celestia. It her right in the left eye. "Ah don work for you." Applejack said. Celestia was confused and angry. "You all are dead!" Celestia howled as she flew away. Secrets are coming outWhile Rarity and Fluttershy were talking, Twilight sparkle had been called to canterlot by Luna. She walked towards the entrance of the castle. "Halt!" It was a guard. "State your name and buisness!" He commanded. Luna came from the other side of the guard. "Let her pass." Luna said. "As your wish your highness." He said and stepped away. Twilight and Luna walked towards Luna's sleeping chamber. "Why did you call for me Luna?" Twilight asked. She knew that if a princess called for her then it was of the up most importance. "Tia, has been acting strangely. Something isn't right and you are the only pony I can trust." Luna responded. "I found these in Tia's room." She held out a bottle with some red liquid inside of it and a knife. Twilight gasped. "I don't know what to say." Twilight was shocked. This changed things. "These are dark times twilight. Watch your back, you can't trust anypony." Luna paused. "But I promise you can trust me." the words seemed to follow twilight. She rethought everything. Who Really was her friend. Did her friends have dark secrets? She didn't know, she didn't want to know. This was too much for her Im just dreaming she thought. that the only logical explanation. she knew she wasn't dreaming, she was wide awake and this was actually happening. She made a list of the ponies she knew she could trust; her 5 friends and Luna. She would be very careful around other ponies, even the fillies. Author's Note This chapter will be extended eventually. Shed some darknessWHACK! thats the last of them Big McInTosh thought to himself. "Ah reckon yer thirstly aren't ya" it was Applejack she seemed to be a lot more nasty then usual. great now I have to deal with her Big McInTosh sighed. "Ah guess not eh?" Applejack smiled. "Bring the apples to apple bloom then." Big McInTosh sighed once more, he picked up the basket of apples and walked away. "Hurry up ah don't keep ya slaves alive for nothin'!" Applejack snickered. "And I thought ya were the element of honesty, but look ya are lyin' to yer friends" The sudden back talk stunned Applejack. She backhoofed Big McInTosh. "Shut yer trap!" She barked. "Besides most mah friends know!" The news confused Big McInTosh. "Who doesn't know?" He asked. "Only twilight doesn't" applejack instantly regretted saying that. It put Big McInTosh one step closer to freedom. Big McInTosh knew he could trust now; the other slaves and Twilight. Now he needed to escape, more then ever. He looked around for something to hit applejack with. He grabbed the first thing useful he could find; a 2x4. He swung the wooden board at applejack and caused her to stagger back and trip over a basket of apples. This was his one and only shot at getting to twilight and he took it, but it didn't take applejack too Long to recover and soon she was not on his tail. Applejack ket getting closer and closer. Apple jack took another step then jumped towards Big McInTosh and grabbed his legs. He tripped over and land just a few inches short of the barn. Applejack was soon on right next to Big McInTosh. "Bad idea, really Bad idea." Apple scolded. She raise her hoof and punched Big McInTosh with all her might. Author's Note I may extend this chapter again I'm not sure. The first dropCelestia was standing at her bedroom window, pictures of what had just happend a few minutes ago. A smile appeared across her face. "Just like the old days" celestia said to herself. Just then she heard a pony talking, it sounded like a mare. "I found these in Tia's room" she instantly reconizned the voice; it was Luna. Who is Luna talking to? she thought to herself. Right then another mare spoke. "I don't know what to say" Celestia knew that voice too; Twilight sparkle. Celestia smiled she was going to get a double the fun tonight. She kept think of what to do, she wanted it extremely painful for both of them but she wanted it quick because she knew she wouldn't enjoy killer her faithful student and sister as much as un-loyal guards. The idea popped into her head. ill make it like the first day I start killing she tried to remember what she did the first day. "Help me! Help me!" The guard screamed. Right then Celestia walked into the room. "Oh Celestia, thank you!" For the next few seconds nothing happend but then Celestia just walked away. "NO! What are you doing? I need to help getting out!" The guard was scared. why is Celestia acting like this? he thought to him self. Celestia walked back into the room pushing a table. what is she doing? Celestia could see the guard was scared and that put a smile on her face. "Oh ill help you, but I promise you aren't getting out alive." The guard went pale he realize that what ever he did it will now cost him is life. He began to beg Celestial not to kill him. "I promise I won't tell anypony! Please what ever I did I'm sorry. Just let me live!" He began to cry. Celestial hesitated. She walked over to the guard and let him out. He smiled but he was confused. why was she doing this? He dashed of, or at least tried to. As soon as he went to go open the door Celestia grabbed his tail and threw him to the wall. The guard was out cold. When the guard woke up he found he had a very large bump on his head and he was in a plastic tube. Upon examening the tube he found that many pipes were leading into it. He looked around to see where he was, but he saw something that horrified him. A yellow Pegasus with a pink mane was strapped to the wall, the Pegasus was unconscious. "Oh good your awake." The guard turned and saw Celestia next to what looked to be a lever. Celestia yanked the lever Down hard and a green liquid started to fill the tube. The guard screamed what was pouring into the tube was burning his leg he looked down at his leg and scream even louder. He legs were just bone now. The pain the guard was feeling was indescribable that and the blood lose made him pass out again. The last thing he saw was celestia pulling the lever back to its original position. when the guard woke up(again) he realized he was strapped down to a metal chair. "How about you stay awake this time." Celestia seemed angry that he passed out so quickly. The guard tried to speak but he couldn't open his mouth. He looked down and if he would of been able to scream he would of broke Celestia's ear drums; his mouth had been stitched shut. "W...Wh... Where am I?" It was the yellow pegasus. "Oh don't worry I'll deal with you soon." Celestia smiled. She was looking froward to making the Pegasus suffer, but she had to stay focused on the guard for now. Celestia picked up a marker and started putting "X"s on the guard. She put down the marker and picked up a freshly sharpened knife. She started stabbing some of the "X"s. suddenly the guard heard a snapping noise and Celestia stopped stabbing him. The guard look up at Celestia and realized she was just as confused as him. Suddenly a soft voice spoke;"may I have a turn?" Celestia staggered back. Did the yellow Pegasus just ask for what she think she just asked for? Celestia turned around to look at the Pegasus and saw she wasn't on the wall anymore! how could she get out? The materials holding her were some of the strongest made! Celestia was beyond confused. i probably didn't make it tight enoughshe concluded. She felt a soft tapping on her hoof and looked down. The yellow Pegasus stood their smiling with a scalpel in her mouth. "I'll take that as a yes." The Pegasus said. She walked over to the guard and cut the stitches. "What are you doing?" The guard asked extremely confused. "What does it look like? I'm taking my turn." The Pegasus said cheerfully. She took the scalpel out of her mouth and started cutting out the guards cutie mark. Then With all her force the Pegasus shoved the scalpel into the guards chest. He started hyper ventilating and then stop breathing completely. Celestia stood their in awe. Did that Pegasus really just help her? "What your name pegasus?" Asked Celestia. "Fluttershy" the Pegasus instantly responded. Celestia smiled. She liked this Pegasus. "Well Fluttershy would you like to do this again some other time?" "Yes! That would be great!" Fluttershy seemed almost too enthusiastic about this. well maybe I won't be able to do exactly what I did the first day but who knows maybe Luna will be just like Fluttershy. Then the idea came to Celestia. Why not bring Fluttershy to help. The silence before the stormHow could this of happened? Just when I was about safe! Big McInTosh thought to him self. "Just kill me! I'm not going to work for you any more!" He screamed. Applejack grabbed Big McInTosh and pulled him close to her face. She look deep into his eyes, but Big McInTosh stayed strong. "Ah reckon it's Rarity's turn to kill" Applejack smiled, but Big McInTosh didn't care. He was determined to warn Twilight at what ever the cost.wait what is that? he saw something and wasn't sure what is was. he squinted to see what it was and-WHACK! The sudden sound made Big McInTosh jump. wait why can I jump I thought applejack was holding me He looked around and saw that Applejack fell over and their stood a filly holding a 2x4; Apple Bloom. Big McInTosh smiled, he was glad that Apple Bloom came when she did. "Come on Apple Bloom, Applejack won't stay unconscious forever." When Big McInTosh looked around again to see if anypony else was coming towards them and then he saw another small filly he recognized; sweetie bell. "Why is sweetie bell here?" Asked Big McInTosh. "Ah needed help." Apple Bloom responded with a sheepish grin. "Scootaloo came along too." As Apple Bloom said that scootaloo landed near sweetie bell. "We need to hurry!" Scootaloo said, she seemed extremely worried. "Why do we need to hurry?" Asked sweetie bell with a concerned look. "Becuase Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are here. I heard Fluttershy yelling at everypony and ordering them to go find her applejack. Also their headed this way!" The last line made everypony else go pale. Big McInTosh was the first to return to normal. "Let's go!" He commanded. They all dashed forward not knowing where to go. "Go towards Twilight's Library!" Big McInTosh ordered as he made a sharp turn. "But twilight is one of applejack a friends!" Scootaloo argued. "She Doesn't know what they have done." This news surprised all the fillies. They thought twilight taught them all what they know. They suddenly felt more confident. They actually had another pony they could trust other then them selves. The storm is comingTheir was a sudden knock on Twilights door, Twilight was surprised. who would knock on my door at this time of night? she thought. When Twilight opened her door she became very scared. Their standing in her door way was Big McInTosh, Sweetie bell, Scootaloo, and Apple bloom. "Why did you knock on my door at this time of night? Is their something I should know? If it can wait till tomorrow then please come back in the morning." Though still scared twilight was a bit annoyed, after all she was just woke up. "Tw...T...." Apple bloom could barely speak she was both terrified and exhausted. "What?" "Your friends are criminals!" Scootaloo said, she was panicking like their was no tomorrow. "What? Your joking right?" Twilight was unsure about all this. What Luna said was still in her head; Trust no pony. The scared look on scootaloo's face proved to twilight that she wasn't joking, this was real. "Oh my....." Twilight passed out from the sudden news. When twilight woke up it was day time and she was in her bed. i was just dreaming twilight thought, it seemed logical to her, but she knew that what had happened wasn't a dream when she saw Big McInTosh and scootaloo sleeping on the floor. A few seconds later some one knocked on twilights door. The noise woke up Big McInTosh and scootaloo. "If that's one of your 'Friends' don't tell them we're here." Big McInTosh seemed scared and that was enough for twilight to realize something extremely bad was going to happen some time soon and it won't have a happy ending. Twilight was a bit afraid to open her door, but when she did a smile a spread across her face. The pony who knocked on the door was Luna, but she had a very serious and worried look. The smile twilight had quickly disappeared. "Tia has gone mad!" Luna yelled she seemed to be crying. "What do you mean 'mad'?" Asked twilight still extremely confused about the whole situation. "I found some more... 'Stuff' in her room" "What kind of stuff?" Luna held out a piece of skin with a cutie mark on it and a severed guard head. Twilight threw up. Though the sight of the head made twilight sick she examined it and realized this was very old, almost like the guard had been dead for a few years. Though the head was a few years old, the cutie mark seemed to be a few days old, no more than a week old. what has happened to equestria? twilight was so confused, this all had been happening to fast for her. Twilight and Luna talked for a while before Luna left. A few seconds after Luna left their was a knock on twilights door. She went to go open it to see who it was, but sweetie bell grabbed her hoof. "Where did yo-" "Shhh, Rarity is out side she's her to kill you" sweetie bell interrupted.
A dip into darknessIt was a nice day In ponyville, the sun was out and few clouds were in the sky. Rarity was pacing back and forth, thoughts racing through her head. What if they find it? the thought of her secrets being discovered by somepony like twilight made Rarity shiver. She needed somepony who could help, she needed somepony who had good advice, and most importantly she needed somepony who had done this before. Applejack. No she may be honest but she hasn't done this before. Rarity quickly discarded AJ from the selection of ponies who could help. Pinkie pie! No she doesn't really have good advice same goes for Rainbow dash. She couldn't think who could help her. Twilight isn't in on it so she out. then it hit her. Fluttershy! I have to get to Fluttershy immediately. Rarity dashed towards Fluttershy's cottage. She couldn't afford to lose anymore time. When Rarity got to the door of Fluttershy's cottage it suddenly swung open. Fluttershy was standing their with a grave look on her face, but at the sight of Rarity she quickly turned happy and a smile spread across her face. "I made a mistake Fluttershy." Rarity quickly said. Fluttershy's grave look returned. "Come inside. We don't want anypony to find out." Fluttershy's said. She wasn't as sheepish as usual today. They entered the cottage. As soon as the door closed Fluttershy spoke. "What do you mean a mistake? Did somepony find out!?" "No. But somepony could smell something. I could too." Rarity responded a bit scared. She knew what Fluttershy could do, she knew what Fluttershy had done. Her mind wandered she kept imagining what Fluttershy would do to her. Fluttershy seemed to notice Rarity's fear. "Oh don't be so scared. I'm not going to hurt you. Besides the only pony in this town who could stop us was picked. Wait who could smell the body?" Fluttershy now seemed concerned. "Apple bloom." The name seemed to hang there for awhile. "Well I don't think AJ will mind if we take one of her slaves and turn them into some nice food and clothing. Besides she has big McInTosh he is worth like 15 ponies." Fluttershy chuckled at her own joke, Rarity just smiled. "Well we will have to ask AJ. Who knows maybe we can just get Apple bloom to help us." The idea of the little filly helping seemed a bit far fetched, but it wasn't impossible. "Wait you said the only pony who could stop us was picked?! It's my turn too." Rarity frowned she enjoyed the company of twilight, sometimes but she was a threat that had to be dealt with. "I'm not going to enjoy this." Fluttershy just smiled. "Well if you won't do it ill just have pinkie pie put your name in the pot and when your name Is drawn ill deal with you, how does that sound?" Rarity staggered back. Did Fluttershy actually just say that? She was speechless. "But your loyal aren't you Rarity? I won't have to kill you will I?" Rarity nodded still saying nothing. "Good. Lets deal with apple bloom." Fluttershy paused for a second. She grabbed a cupcake and took a bite out of it. "Want one? They're a bit juicier then usual though." Author's Note Each chapter will focus on 1 of 4 chacters; Big McInTosh, Rarity, Celestia, or Twilight.
A beam of hopeRarity was pacing back and forth (again). She couldn't decide weither she should warn twilight or just stay loyal to Fluttershy. But after hours of thinking she decided it was best to warn twilight, she couldn't kill anymore, and she wouldn't kill anymore. Just then two overly hyper mares burst in; rainbow dash and pinkie pie. "Hey rarity" said rainbow dash sheepishly seeming almost scared. why was rainbow dash of all ponies scared? Rarity quickly concluded this had something to do with their 'business'. "Uh... Rarity... Please don't tell Fluttershy." Rarity knew that it was serious now, if she shouldn't tell Fluttershy then she knew they were in danger. "Don't tell her what?" Rarity tried to comfort her friends be did not succeed. "We haven't actually been killing ponies it's all artificial 'skin' and 'meat'." Pinkie pie said who was severely less happy then usual. Rarity knew their was good in her friends! She also now had 2 ponies she could trust. "I uh.... I'm going to tell... Uh .... Twilight about..... The um murders, and uh warn her that Fluttershy is after her." Rarity confessed. Rainbow dash and pinkie pie both gasped. "Well it looks like ill have to add a few names to the pot" the voice shocked everypony. They all turned around and went pale. There stood Fluttershy with a evil grin on her face, Apple jack stood next to her."I'm glad at least one pony is loyal. Apple jack grab them and lock them up I want them to suffer for many years till they beg for death." Applejack charged. But rainbow dash and pinkie pie were too fast for her. While apple jack was busy with rainbow dash and pinkie pie Rarity escaped. She headed straight for twilights home. When she got their she saw Luna exit her house. what was Luna doing in Twilight's house?

When Rarity knocked on the door their was nothing for a few seconds but when the door swung open she was greeted by an unpleasant surprise, a book flew at her. She ducked just in the nick of time, the book went just over her mane. Suddenly twilight swung at her. Rarity moved out of the way quicker this time. "Twilight! Stop darling I'm here to help you, not kill you!" Rarity yelled. Both rarity and twilight were surprised at how angry she was. "What do you mean your here to 'help' me?" Twilight asked still ready to defend her self. "Well I was coming to warn you that Fluttershy was after you." This news seemed unreal. Fluttershy? Impossible! Right? twilight seemed unsure about her thought. She was confused and Rarity could tell. "You can trust me, and if you see rainbow dash and pinkie pie you can trust them too, hopefully they made it out ok." "What do you mean 'made it out ok'? Out of where?" "Last I saw of them apple jack was attack them. I think apple jack is after you too she's really loyal to flutter-" Rarity stopped mid sentence. "Oh my is that you sweetie bell?" Asked rarity, she could of swore she just saw sweetie bell. "Yeah it's me." She responded. Rarity smiled she was glad sweetie bell was safe.
The storm starts nowIt was time. Celestia was ready, she had sharpened her tools. She walked over to Luna's room and bucked down the door, but Luna wasn't their. that would of been too easy Celestia giggled, she was going to have to chase her prey. this will be fun. she walked to the entrence of the castle and flew towards ponyville, she did want to bring Fluttershy along anyway and Luna was talking to twilight more often so she thought she would be their. When she got to ponyville she could see everypony was confused. "I'm just here looking for something I dropped, please just ignore my presence." Celestia commanded in a soft voice, she didn't want to attract any attention. She walked to Fluttershy's cabin and found she wasn't their, so she decided to look around town. When she walked to Rarity's she heard crying, scream and laughter, she could reconize the laugh; it was Fluttershy's. Celestia frowned, she never thought her student would be that sloppy. She walked inside to see Fluttershy standing by the door way while Apple jack was hog tying a cyan mare and yelling at already hog tied pink mare "shut up". "What is going on in here?" Asked Celestia she was confused, why was Apple Jack helping Fluttershy? Everypony turned towards Celestia. "Oh thank you! Celestia help! These two are criminals! Their going to kill us!" Yelled rainbow dash. But Celestia just stood their, a smile spread across her face. "Uh Celestia? A little help? Celestia?....." Rainbow dash was terrified why wasn't Celestia helping? "And why would I punish my loyal student when she's doing so well?" Celestia finally responded. "But Twilight's your Loy-" "Twilight? Ha, that pony is just a cover for me and she doesn't even know it." Celestia snickered, a smilie apeared on her face. "Fluttershy is my loyal student, and she's doing well she has got apple jack to help her. Oh that reminds me! Fluttershy how would you like to help me kill Luna and twilight? We can add those two into the mix." Fluttershy smiled, anytime her teacher asked her to help kill somepony it was an extreme honor. "Sure, that would be wonderful!" She said. She couldn't contain her excitement. "I think twilight knows already it seems Rarity escaped, which means Luna must know, I might be wanted by your guards right now." Fluttershy frowned she didn't like things being tough. "Well we will have to make a scene." Celestia opened the door and walked out side, if she was going to make a scene she wanted the weather to be exactly how she wanted it. She flew up to the sky and started turning all the normal clouds into storm clouds. When she was finally done almost every spec of light was gone. "Well it's time!" Something caught her eye; an alicorn! It was Luna, she was flying towards canterlot. This was Celestia only chance to capture Luna, and she took it. She rocketed at Luna cause her horn to drive into Luna's spleen. Luna feel to the ground the pain was too much for her. Celestia bolt downward, driving her horn into Luna again. The pain caused Luna to pass out. Author's Note Chapters from this one on will be focused on twilight or Celestia. I have very little time to do this so when I have spare I'm going to finish the new chapter, and I promise ill start righting better, also I'm going to start up a new story. :)
The lost moonRarity had just finished explaining everything. "But... That..." Twilight was terrified she couldn't handle it. She had to get some fresh air, but when she walked out side she was greeted by a storm. Twilight gasped, their on the floor was a dieing alicorn: Luna. "Luna! What happened?!" She ran towards Luna. "Twilight... Run... Tia is.... Going to.... Kill you..." Luna managed to say before celestia came charging down and crushed luna's skull. Some of Luna's brain got in celetia's mouth. She licked her lips and swallowed. "Mmm so good...I wan't more!" Celestia used her magic to pick up all the brain and shove it in her mouth. She gulped hard. "Now you next twilight, come on make this easy on you!" Celestia yelled. "You've gone mad." Celestia turned to see AJ, rainbow dash, pinkie pie, twilight and big Macintosh. "Where is flutter shy?" Celestia commanded. "Dead" big Macintosh said in a powerful voice. "I only needed one helper anyway!" Celestia howled. As a peice of brain fell out of her mouth. She caught it mid air and shoved in back in her mouth. "Applejack kill them" applejack picked up and apple and chucked it at celestia. It her right in the left eye. "Ah don work for you." Applejack said. Celestia was confused and angry. "You all are dead!" Celestia howled as she flew away.
Secrets are coming outWhile Rarity and Fluttershy were talking, Twilight sparkle had been called to canterlot by Luna. She walked towards the entrance of the castle. "Halt!" It was a guard. "State your name and buisness!" He commanded. Luna came from the other side of the guard. "Let her pass." Luna said. "As your wish your highness." He said and stepped away. Twilight and Luna walked towards Luna's sleeping chamber. "Why did you call for me Luna?" Twilight asked. She knew that if a princess called for her then it was of the up most importance. "Tia, has been acting strangely. Something isn't right and you are the only pony I can trust." Luna responded. "I found these in Tia's room." She held out a bottle with some red liquid inside of it and a knife. Twilight gasped. "I don't know what to say." Twilight was shocked. This changed things. "These are dark times twilight. Watch your back, you can't trust anypony." Luna paused. "But I promise you can trust me." the words seemed to follow twilight. She rethought everything. Who Really was her friend. Did her friends have dark secrets? She didn't know, she didn't want to know. This was too much for her Im just dreaming she thought. that the only logical explanation. she knew she wasn't dreaming, she was wide awake and this was actually happening. She made a list of the ponies she knew she could trust; her 5 friends and Luna. She would be very careful around other ponies, even the fillies. Author's Note This chapter will be extended eventually.
Shed some darknessWHACK! thats the last of them Big McInTosh thought to himself. "Ah reckon yer thirstly aren't ya" it was Applejack she seemed to be a lot more nasty then usual. great now I have to deal with her Big McInTosh sighed. "Ah guess not eh?" Applejack smiled. "Bring the apples to apple bloom then." Big McInTosh sighed once more, he picked up the basket of apples and walked away. "Hurry up ah don't keep ya slaves alive for nothin'!" Applejack snickered. "And I thought ya were the element of honesty, but look ya are lyin' to yer friends" The sudden back talk stunned Applejack. She backhoofed Big McInTosh. "Shut yer trap!" She barked. "Besides most mah friends know!" The news confused Big McInTosh. "Who doesn't know?" He asked. "Only twilight doesn't" applejack instantly regretted saying that. It put Big McInTosh one step closer to freedom. Big McInTosh knew he could trust now; the other slaves and Twilight. Now he needed to escape, more then ever. He looked around for something to hit applejack with. He grabbed the first thing useful he could find; a 2x4. He swung the wooden board at applejack and caused her to stagger back and trip over a basket of apples. This was his one and only shot at getting to twilight and he took it, but it didn't take applejack too Long to recover and soon she was not on his tail. Applejack ket getting closer and closer. Apple jack took another step then jumped towards Big McInTosh and grabbed his legs. He tripped over and land just a few inches short of the barn. Applejack was soon on right next to Big McInTosh. "Bad idea, really Bad idea." Apple scolded. She raise her hoof and punched Big McInTosh with all her might. Author's Note I may extend this chapter again I'm not sure.
The first dropCelestia was standing at her bedroom window, pictures of what had just happend a few minutes ago. A smile appeared across her face. "Just like the old days" celestia said to herself. Just then she heard a pony talking, it sounded like a mare. "I found these in Tia's room" she instantly reconizned the voice; it was Luna. Who is Luna talking to? she thought to herself. Right then another mare spoke. "I don't know what to say" Celestia knew that voice too; Twilight sparkle. Celestia smiled she was going to get a double the fun tonight. She kept think of what to do, she wanted it extremely painful for both of them but she wanted it quick because she knew she wouldn't enjoy killer her faithful student and sister as much as un-loyal guards. The idea popped into her head. ill make it like the first day I start killing she tried to remember what she did the first day. "Help me! Help me!" The guard screamed. Right then Celestia walked into the room. "Oh Celestia, thank you!" For the next few seconds nothing happend but then Celestia just walked away. "NO! What are you doing? I need to help getting out!" The guard was scared. why is Celestia acting like this? he thought to him self. Celestia walked back into the room pushing a table. what is she doing? Celestia could see the guard was scared and that put a smile on her face. "Oh ill help you, but I promise you aren't getting out alive." The guard went pale he realize that what ever he did it will now cost him is life. He began to beg Celestial not to kill him. "I promise I won't tell anypony! Please what ever I did I'm sorry. Just let me live!" He began to cry. Celestial hesitated. She walked over to the guard and let him out. He smiled but he was confused. why was she doing this? He dashed of, or at least tried to. As soon as he went to go open the door Celestia grabbed his tail and threw him to the wall. The guard was out cold. When the guard woke up he found he had a very large bump on his head and he was in a plastic tube. Upon examening the tube he found that many pipes were leading into it. He looked around to see where he was, but he saw something that horrified him. A yellow Pegasus with a pink mane was strapped to the wall, the Pegasus was unconscious. "Oh good your awake." The guard turned and saw Celestia next to what looked to be a lever. Celestia yanked the lever Down hard and a green liquid started to fill the tube. The guard screamed what was pouring into the tube was burning his leg he looked down at his leg and scream even louder. He legs were just bone now. The pain the guard was feeling was indescribable that and the blood lose made him pass out again. The last thing he saw was celestia pulling the lever back to its original position. when the guard woke up(again) he realized he was strapped down to a metal chair. "How about you stay awake this time." Celestia seemed angry that he passed out so quickly. The guard tried to speak but he couldn't open his mouth. He looked down and if he would of been able to scream he would of broke Celestia's ear drums; his mouth had been stitched shut. "W...Wh... Where am I?" It was the yellow pegasus. "Oh don't worry I'll deal with you soon." Celestia smiled. She was looking froward to making the Pegasus suffer, but she had to stay focused on the guard for now. Celestia picked up a marker and started putting "X"s on the guard. She put down the marker and picked up a freshly sharpened knife. She started stabbing some of the "X"s. suddenly the guard heard a snapping noise and Celestia stopped stabbing him. The guard look up at Celestia and realized she was just as confused as him. Suddenly a soft voice spoke;"may I have a turn?" Celestia staggered back. Did the yellow Pegasus just ask for what she think she just asked for? Celestia turned around to look at the Pegasus and saw she wasn't on the wall anymore! how could she get out? The materials holding her were some of the strongest made! Celestia was beyond confused. i probably didn't make it tight enoughshe concluded. She felt a soft tapping on her hoof and looked down. The yellow Pegasus stood their smiling with a scalpel in her mouth. "I'll take that as a yes." The Pegasus said. She walked over to the guard and cut the stitches. "What are you doing?" The guard asked extremely confused. "What does it look like? I'm taking my turn." The Pegasus said cheerfully. She took the scalpel out of her mouth and started cutting out the guards cutie mark. Then With all her force the Pegasus shoved the scalpel into the guards chest. He started hyper ventilating and then stop breathing completely. Celestia stood their in awe. Did that Pegasus really just help her? "What your name pegasus?" Asked Celestia. "Fluttershy" the Pegasus instantly responded. Celestia smiled. She liked this Pegasus. "Well Fluttershy would you like to do this again some other time?" "Yes! That would be great!" Fluttershy seemed almost too enthusiastic about this. well maybe I won't be able to do exactly what I did the first day but who knows maybe Luna will be just like Fluttershy. Then the idea came to Celestia. Why not bring Fluttershy to help.
The silence before the stormHow could this of happened? Just when I was about safe! Big McInTosh thought to him self. "Just kill me! I'm not going to work for you any more!" He screamed. Applejack grabbed Big McInTosh and pulled him close to her face. She look deep into his eyes, but Big McInTosh stayed strong. "Ah reckon it's Rarity's turn to kill" Applejack smiled, but Big McInTosh didn't care. He was determined to warn Twilight at what ever the cost.wait what is that? he saw something and wasn't sure what is was. he squinted to see what it was and-WHACK! The sudden sound made Big McInTosh jump. wait why can I jump I thought applejack was holding me He looked around and saw that Applejack fell over and their stood a filly holding a 2x4; Apple Bloom. Big McInTosh smiled, he was glad that Apple Bloom came when she did. "Come on Apple Bloom, Applejack won't stay unconscious forever." When Big McInTosh looked around again to see if anypony else was coming towards them and then he saw another small filly he recognized; sweetie bell. "Why is sweetie bell here?" Asked Big McInTosh. "Ah needed help." Apple Bloom responded with a sheepish grin. "Scootaloo came along too." As Apple Bloom said that scootaloo landed near sweetie bell. "We need to hurry!" Scootaloo said, she seemed extremely worried. "Why do we need to hurry?" Asked sweetie bell with a concerned look. "Becuase Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are here. I heard Fluttershy yelling at everypony and ordering them to go find her applejack. Also their headed this way!" The last line made everypony else go pale. Big McInTosh was the first to return to normal. "Let's go!" He commanded. They all dashed forward not knowing where to go. "Go towards Twilight's Library!" Big McInTosh ordered as he made a sharp turn. "But twilight is one of applejack a friends!" Scootaloo argued. "She Doesn't know what they have done." This news surprised all the fillies. They thought twilight taught them all what they know. They suddenly felt more confident. They actually had another pony they could trust other then them selves.
The storm is comingTheir was a sudden knock on Twilights door, Twilight was surprised. who would knock on my door at this time of night? she thought. When Twilight opened her door she became very scared. Their standing in her door way was Big McInTosh, Sweetie bell, Scootaloo, and Apple bloom. "Why did you knock on my door at this time of night? Is their something I should know? If it can wait till tomorrow then please come back in the morning." Though still scared twilight was a bit annoyed, after all she was just woke up. "Tw...T...." Apple bloom could barely speak she was both terrified and exhausted. "What?" "Your friends are criminals!" Scootaloo said, she was panicking like their was no tomorrow. "What? Your joking right?" Twilight was unsure about all this. What Luna said was still in her head; Trust no pony. The scared look on scootaloo's face proved to twilight that she wasn't joking, this was real. "Oh my....." Twilight passed out from the sudden news. When twilight woke up it was day time and she was in her bed. i was just dreaming twilight thought, it seemed logical to her, but she knew that what had happened wasn't a dream when she saw Big McInTosh and scootaloo sleeping on the floor. A few seconds later some one knocked on twilights door. The noise woke up Big McInTosh and scootaloo. "If that's one of your 'Friends' don't tell them we're here." Big McInTosh seemed scared and that was enough for twilight to realize something extremely bad was going to happen some time soon and it won't have a happy ending. Twilight was a bit afraid to open her door, but when she did a smile a spread across her face. The pony who knocked on the door was Luna, but she had a very serious and worried look. The smile twilight had quickly disappeared. "Tia has gone mad!" Luna yelled she seemed to be crying. "What do you mean 'mad'?" Asked twilight still extremely confused about the whole situation. "I found some more... 'Stuff' in her room" "What kind of stuff?" Luna held out a piece of skin with a cutie mark on it and a severed guard head. Twilight threw up. Though the sight of the head made twilight sick she examined it and realized this was very old, almost like the guard had been dead for a few years. Though the head was a few years old, the cutie mark seemed to be a few days old, no more than a week old. what has happened to equestria? twilight was so confused, this all had been happening to fast for her. Twilight and Luna talked for a while before Luna left. A few seconds after Luna left their was a knock on twilights door. She went to go open it to see who it was, but sweetie bell grabbed her hoof. "Where did yo-" "Shhh, Rarity is out side she's her to kill you" sweetie bell interrupted.
