The Oblivion Organization

Twilight snapped back into reality.  She was still in the truck and she was still trapped with Pinkie and Fluttershy.  She looked around, spotting the pool of blood on the floor and trotting over to it.  She looked at her reflection and frowned.

She looked horrible.

Her hair was matted, drool was stuck to the side of her mouth, and her right eye was bleeding again.  Shit, she thought, how am I supposed to stop the bleeding? Fuck, it hurts too.  She casted her healing spell and the little ball of light floated out in front of her.  She pushed her hair to the side to reveal her mechanical eye.

“Twilight?! What is that?!”

Twilight jumped back as the sound of Fluttershy’s voice startled her.  She thought she was still sleeping. “Uhhh… nothing Fluttershy!” she gave her friend a plastic smile, hoping to fool her.

“Nice try Twilight.  Now, what did you do to yourself?  Was that a… robot eye?”

“Uhh… maybe?”

Fluttershy glared at Twilight, “Twilight, we are friends, friends are supposed to share everything with one another.  Why haven’t you said anything about this… this little robot eye?”

“Fluttershy, don’t you dare try to pull the whole ‘Friends tell each other everything’ thing.  I know what you do in your spare time, and not once did you mention it to me!”

Fluttershy’s eyes widened.  Her heart skipped a beat when she heard Twilight’s last sentence.  She couldn’t possibly mean about my… no, there isn’t any way that she would know.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.  All I do in my spare time is taking care of my animals.  Nothing more.”

Twilight huffed, “That’s all you do huh? Really? What do you take care of your animals with? Your cleaver? What about the incinerator in your little torture chamber? You think I don’t know about what you do?!”

Fluttershy’s mouth was agape.  “Wha…how…what?”  She was completely at a loss for words.  How the hell could she have known…? I kept everything quiet; the victim, the chops, everything.  How did Twilight know...? She had to know now.  She had to know how Twilight could’ve possibly figured out her darkest secret.

“Ho…How did you figure it out?” she said, her lips were quivering and tears were forming in her eyes.

“Fluttershy, it’s complicated.  I don’t even think I want to explain.”

“But…but how… I don’t understand.  I never said a word about it.”

Twilight was annoyed, but she guessed she owed her friend an explanation.  It wasn’t her fault Twilight had been spying on Pinkie and Fluttershy.  It was for a good cause though… it may have been out of paranoia, but it was benign nonetheless. “Fluttershy, I’ve been spying on you and Pinkie.”

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow.  “What? Why?”

“Like I said, it’s complicated… but I might as well give it a go.”

Twilight cleared her throat.  She was prepared to tell Fluttershy everything.  From the moment she discovered the cloning spell, to when she was captured by Synthia.

She was even going to mention her involvement with the organization.

The truck stopped.

Twilight snapped her neck to the side and watched the door carefully.  Her and Fluttershy both got up, ready to fight.  Twilight moved the hair out from in front of her robotic eye and Fluttershy fell into a battle stance.  The doors slowly opened and let through a very bright light.  Both ponies flinched at the sudden intensity of the light and heard a sound.  Something had been thrown into the back of the truck.  A pop and a hiss were heard shortly after the object hit the metal floor.

Twilight and Fluttershy both started to cough and wheeze.  Neither could see because of the intensely focused beams of light that attacked their eyes, and neither could breathe because of the toxic gas that clogged their tracheas.  Twilight knew this had to be some kind of knock-out gas.  It took her second to figure out exactly what it was.

Chloroform.

Twilight knew it had to be that, but it had to be mixed with something else.  She was losing consciousness fast and chloroform didn’t act that quickly.  “Fluttershy, hold your breath...” she managed, but Fluttershy was already out.  She held her breath and pretended that she fell victim to the gas.  Not long after she fell did a couple of ponies jump into the truck and start to grab Pinkie.  Quickly, she rose up and used her magic to tear the gas masks from their mouths.  She was successful in putting one on her, but failed to put the remaining two on her friends as she was tackled immediately, held down with magic.

Twilight struggled against the binds that held her down to the metal floor and watched as both of her friends were dragged away.  She tried to use her own magic to free herself but it was countered with even more powerful magic.  Who could have a more powerful magic than me?...  She squinted, trying to look past the immense amount of light and managed to spot a silhouette of a unicorn. The unicorn was straining to keep the spell in place, meaning that it wasn’t that her magic was more powerful, but rather she was putting more effort into casting the spell then Twilight was at countering it.

Twilight tried even harder, slowly managing to expel the magic that held her down.  She got on her stomach and began pushing up with her hooves and her magic, steadily making progress.  She was putting all she had in the spell before she final broke free, but her freedom was short lived as she was tackled and a damp rag was held to her mouth.  She couldn’t help but breathe in the chloroform, slowly sinking into a calm and deep sleep.

______________________________________________________________________________

Pinkie awoke with a shock.  She had the weirdest dream that she had tried to kill Fluttershy, and that Twilight was trying to kill her.  She laughed because she knew that would never happen.  Fluttershy was one of her closest friends; she would never hurt her friends.  And Twilight was too naïve to so much as harm a fly.  Poor thing.

She looked around to see that she was in a cell, but not a normal cell.  No, this one had a laser grid in place of the rusty iron bars that would normally associate with a prison cell.  There was a shower in one corner, a bed in another, a toilet and a sink in between the two, and a camera above the bed; aimed outwards to the rest of the cell.  She noted that the camera wouldn’t be able to see her if she was sleeping on the bed, so she went over to test it out.  She pressed down on it with her hoof.  Stiff and uncomfortable, yet more comfortable than the floor.  She jumped on it and laid down.  She wasn’t tired; she just woke up.  She just wanted to be out of the camera’s line of sight.

Pinkie hated being watched and she hated being confined.  The fact that someone, somewhere, was spying on her, watching her, creeped her out.  She hated being confined because she simply suffered from a slight case of claustrophobia.  She didn’t even know she was in the back of a truck until she felt it hit a pothole.  After that, she remembered nothing.

Pinkie’s ears perked up as she heard a sound coming outside of her cell.  She slowly got up, careful to stay out of the camera’s line of vision.  She looked out for the first time and noticed there were other cells too.  They were empty and didn’t have the laser grid blocking the entrance like hers did.  She looked to her left and right.  She wasn’t surprised to see a hallway, but she was surprised to see that not only did it extend from left to right.

It extended above and below her.

She looked down and felt a slight pang of fear as she realized she couldn’t even see the ground.  She looked up and, with no relief, saw that she could see the ceiling.  Where am I? She thought. And what was that sound? It sounded like… like a scream… almost like… Rainbow’s scream… Her heart was stabbed with the sharp blade of regret.  She fell back from the grid and landed on her flank, her hoof on her heart.  Tears began to develop in her eyes and she collapsed; sobbing on the ground.

She felt so sorry for what happened to Rainbow Dash.  She wished she could take it all back.  She wished she could go back in time and stop Rainbow from eating that cupcake… she had no idea how bad she would feel after she killed Rainbow.  She never wanted to, but her number came up and you can’t ignore that.

She crawled over to her bed; tears still pouring the sides of her face.  She reached the bed and climbed up, not even caring that the camera could see her.  She didn’t care that she was being watched, she didn’t care that she was locked up in some stupid cell, and she didn’t care about that damned purple unicorn in the cell across from her.

Purple unicorn…

Pinkie’s head shot upwards and she jumped to the laser grid and looked across the bottomless pit to the cell that contained the purple unicorn.  It looked like Twilight, what with the violet hair and the pink streaks, her light purple coat, her violet eyes, and in general cute body shape, but Pinkie wasn’t so sure.  Something seemed off about her.  Not only did she have makeup under her eyes that looked like spikes, but she was sleeping so weird.

Twilight was sleeping peacefully, like she was at home.

Pinkie put a hoof to her chin and thought a moment. Hmmm… wouldn’t Twilight be trying to find a way out?  I mean, she is trapped in that cell.  Knowing her, she should be freaking out. Pinkie was very confused.  This isn’t what her friend acted like.  She decided that maybe she hadn’t woken up yet to see where she was.

That’s when things really turned Pinkie’s world upside down.

The cell door in Twilight’s cage was busted open and a couple of Rainbow clones rushed in and threw another Twilight on the floor.  One of them was wearing an eye patch.

The sleeping Twilight awoke with a start, and glared at the door.  “Fucking knock next time!”

She gave the now disgruntled 'Twilight', the one with the makeup and the pissed expression, an apologetic look. “Sorry, but we have them, Heartbreak.  We also have this one.” The clone with the eye patch pointed towards the unconscious Twilight, a slight frown on her face.

Heartbreak looked at, what must be the real Twilight, with disgust.  She got up and walked over to her, lifting her up and throwing her against the wall.

“HEARTBREAK! Stop it right now!  I know you have your differences with Twilight, but you cannot harm her right now! We need her!”  The clone snapped.  She flew over with immense speed and picked Twilight up.  She then flew over to the bed and gently laid Twilight down as if she was fragile glass.

Heartbreak sneered and rolled her eyes.   I can’t believe she is SO in love with Twilight.  I don’t get it.  She’s ugly and she’s stupid.  I’m the smart one and I’m- she frowned as she remembered that she was Twilight’s clone and shared the exact same appearance. Well I’m smarter than she is…  She looked at Synthia again and sighed.  Why doesn’t she love me? I’m so much better than she is… A tear started to form in her eyes.

“Heartbreak, are you alright?” Synthia asked “You’re not crying, are you?”  She flew over to her friend.

“NO! I’m fine! Just… just go.  I won’t hurt Twilight.  I just need to talk to her.  Alone.”

“Well in that case, you might want to shut your blinds.  Pinkie has been watching us for a while.”

Heartbreak’s eyes shot open and she turned to look out the cell.  She saw Pinkie there, staring with an expression of awe on her face.  “Oh hell, disable the laser grid and shut those damn blinds.  We all know she’s already completely lost and we don’t want to screw with her head too much too soon.  It will affect the cloning process.”  The laser grid was shut down and two metal walls came from spaces located at each side of the cell’s opening.  They created an ear wrenching and teeth shattering screech that made all the ponies shutter.  The walls met together soon after and the noise stopped.

Pinkie was astonished at what she just saw.   Two Rainbow Dashes; one with an eye patch and a scar across her face, two Twilights; the one with makeup under her eyes being “Heartbreak”, and something about cloning.  What is going on?   Pinkie then turned slowly to her bed, and jumped on it.   A slow sigh followed as she closed her eyes, hoping that this was all a dream and that she would wake up in Sugar Cube Corner, dissecting Rainbow Dash and making cupcakes out of her.  She laughed as her dreams would then come true, she’d finally get to eat Rainbow Dash.  Maybe in not the way she would have wanted, but hey, it’s close enough.  She smirked at that thought and fell asleep, attempting to forget about the events that just took place.

______________________________________________________________________________

Heartbreak looked toward Twilight and thought about all the things that she could do to her right now.  She could kill her, torture her, rape her, anything.   Unfortunately, for Heartbreak, she knew very well that keeping Twilight alive was necessary.  Twilight was, after all, the most powerful unicorn there was.  Plus she mastered the cloning spell to a degree that no other unicorn could possibly fathom of doing.

With this skill, Twilight was (and is) able to make Synthia’s and Heartbreak’s dream come true.

They were tired of being hunted; constantly on the lookout for Twilight.  They just wanted to coexist with the originals and with the copies.  Heartbreak recalled on a shielded memory; one that haunted her in her sleep…

She and Synthia were hiding in a ditch near the Everfree forest, holding each other.  They could hear the screams of their friends and families being cut off by multiple magical *zap*s.  They shivered and tears ran down their faces.  Together, they sobbed in silence, for they could not allow themselves to be discovered.  If they did, they knew they would surely share the same fate that everypony else had.

The sounds of screaming and zapping had ceased.

Heartbreak threw her face into Synthia’s neck; sobbing.  She needed to be held right now; all her family and friends, were gone; deleted by Twilight.  She couldn’t believe that Twilight would do such a thing.  The cried even more now, shoving her muzzle into Synthia’s coat.  She was sad enough that she didn’t care that the sounds of her sobs were escaping from their imprisonment that was Synthia’s coat.

Synthia quickly brought Heartbreak to her, their bodies touching under the soft light of the moon.  “Heartbreak,” Synthia whispered, “you have to be quiet.  Do you want to be deleted too?” She wrapped her wings around Heartbreak, not only muffling any sob sounds that would escape, but comforting her as well.

Heartbreak felt Synthia tense and saw her ears perk up.  She must have heard something.

Heartbreak peered out of the cover of Synthia's wings to see a white unicorn with a curly purple mane and tail.  Her cutie mark was of four diamonds, arranged in compass rose positions.  Synthia stooped down low and covered Heartbreak with her wing, pushing her down lower to the ground to shadow themselves from the moon using the ditch they were in.  The white unicorn looked their way and didn’t seem to notice the two ponies hiding in the darkness.  She squinted and cocked her head.

Her horn started to glow.

Heartbreak could feel Synthia tense up even more and knew that she must be worried.  She could feel Synthia’s wing and noticed that it was now placed to block her vision from the white unicorn.  Heartbreak started to shake as she could tell something bad was happening.

“Heart, I need you to relax and do as I say if the time comes, got it?” Synthia whispered.

Heartbreak shivered “Ye-yes, Synthia.  I understand.” She whispered back.

The white unicorn’s horn shined brightly and the whole area was lit up.  She quickly spotted the two ponies, but before she could set the others off, she was tackled and the light faded away.

Synthia was on top of the unicorn, biting and hitting at immense speeds.  She managed to bust the unicorn’s nose open, give her a black eye, and break her jaw before she was caught in a ball of telekinesis and thrown into a tree.  She got up but received a hoof to the jaw.  She swung wildly in front of her and hit nothing.  She heard a branch snap from behind her and she jumped forward, spinning around, only to be hit with something large from behind her.  She flew, and stabilized herself with her wings.

“Synthia! She’s been teleporting! Be careful!” Heartbreak shouted.

She saw the unicorn trot towards Synthia, and watched as Synthia she flew upwards, probably intending to make a sonic rainboom and pop everypony’s ears.  If she did that, that would distract them long enough to allow them to escape.  She flew higher, but she started to slow and it seemed as if something was pulling her back.  Heartbreak looked closer and could barely spot a blue aura surrounding Synthia.  She saw that Synthia was still rising, but slowly.  The blue aura began to slow her ascension, eventually stopping her.  She was pulling with all her might, but it was futile. She started to descend at a quick pace.

Right before she hit, she stopped and floated there.  She was surveying the multiple unicorns holding her with their magic, all looking like the one she fought earlier.  She then stared at one in particular; she was different than the others and she was in front.  She wore a pink bandana and seemed a lot calmer than the rest.

“Twilight, come over here darling, we captured one of the two you requested.  This one is feisty.” She giggled.

Heartbreak remained hidden, watching the scene unfold.  She knew she had to help somehow, but there was nothing she could’ve done.  She thought and she thought, but not a single useful idea came up.  She jumped as she started to hear shouting.

“TWILIGHT, CALM DOWN THIS INSTANT!” the white unicorn screeched.

Twilight’s eyes were glowing and she was choking Synthia with her magic.  Sweat started to drip off the purple from the amount of force she was putting into the spell.  Synthia choked loudly, grasping for air that would never come.

“TWILIGHT!  I SAID CALM DOWN!”  The white unicorn grabbed Twilight with her own blue aura and threw her aside, stopping Twilight from choking the life out of Synthia.  Her eyes widened as she realized what she had done.  “Twilight, I-“ the unicorn’s words were cut off when Twilight got up and screamed with her hooves over her right eye.

“MY EYE, MY FUCKING EYE!”  Twilight screeched.  She slowly removed her hooves to reveal a sharp stick penetrating her eye socket.

“Oh sweet Celestia!  Hold on Twilight, I will teleport us out of here!  The rest of you will stay here and keep an eye on this one.  You don’t have to keep her within your telekinesis, but if she tries anything, you damn well better hold on to her and hold on to her tight.  She will run out of stamina within a short period.  Twilight, come, let’s get you fixed up.” The white unicorn’s horn lit up and, with a quick flash, Twilight and her disappeared.

Heartbreak watched everything and nearly threw up when she saw what happened to Twilight.  Poor Twilight… she thought.  She looked up again, and saw the unicorn clones surrounding Synthia, just waiting for her to do something, but she just laid there.  Not moving.

Heartbreak was worried, but she knew that Synthia couldn’t be dead.  She laid down in the cold, wet dirt and sighed. There has to be something I can do, she thought.  She brought her hooves in front of her face and a stern expression appeared.   I will not sit here and do nothing, I will help her.  She did nothing to deserve being held like a prisoner like this. She got up and looked out over the ditch to see the same scene, only with Synthia on her hooves now.  She didn’t look like she was going to fly off, but Heartbreak knew she could give her an opening.  She got down and looked around her, searching for a weapon of some sort.  She looked into the Everfree Forest and found the branch that one of the clones had broken off a tree.  She grabbed it in her magic, and turned to the group of ponies.  She gathered herself and crept out of the bank, slowly moving forward.

Heartbreak breathed quietly, making sure to keep quiet so as not to alert one of the clones and become a prisoner also.  She imagined herself as a ninja, stalking her prey, readying her weapon to strike, and felling her victim with a single blow.

She reached them, and approached the closest one.  She raised the branch, angled it to kill, and swung it with all her might.  The branch hit with a sickening *thump* and *crack*, shattering the clone’s skull and disabling the brain.  The others turned back and Heartbreak swung the branch again, smacking one upside the head.  She followed through with a second blow, hitting the clone’s head again, killing the clone, and breaking her branch.  She launched what was left of it at a clone that was trying to flank her from the left.  The branch hit the clone’s forelegs, causing it to tumble into another.

Heartbreak looked to her right to see three clones running straight for her and another two casting some sort of spell.  It took Heartbreak a second to realize that the spell they were casting was the same they had casted when attacking their village.

The Deletion Spell.

Quickly, Heartbreak lunged to the side, dodging the beams easily but landing on her side.  She looked up and saw the three other clones above her.  They picked her up in their telekinesis to give the spell casting clones an easy shot.  Heartbreak struggled against their magic, even using her own to disrupt theirs, but to no avail.  She floated there, accepting what was sure to come next.  She looked at the two clones casting the Deletion Spell and a tear rolled down her face.

*BOOM*

Heartbreak instinctively covered her ears with her hooves, clenched her teeth, and clamped her eyes shut.  The noise was so sudden and so loud that it left her ears ringing and in pain.  She felt the magical grip loosen up on her and she fell to the ground.  She opened her eyes and everything was shaking, from the ground to the sky above; nothing was still.  She looked at the clones and noticed that every one of them was trying to stay on their feet and keep from falling.  She looked up and her jaw dropped at what she saw.

The sky was filled with all the colors of the spectra.  Synthia had created a rainboom.

Quickly, she snapped herself out of the trance she had fallen in and looked for Synthia.  It didn’t take long; however, as Synthia swooped down and snatched Heartbreak up off the ground.  Heartbreak looked below them and saw how the trees, the buildings, and even the clouds flew past them.  She loved this view, and never wanted it to end.  She looked at Synthia and smiled.

“Where are we going?” She asked.

“Somewhere safe,” Synthia replied, “somewhere safe.”

Heartbreak snapped back into reality to see that her original had woken up and was staring at her.

“You back to Equestria yet, Heartbreak?” Twilight asked with a sly grin.

“Shut it Twilight.  The only reason you’re alive is because we need your talent.  We need you to clone Rainbow Dash and the others, fast.  I would do it, but we both know clones can’t cast the cloning spell.”  Heartbreak decided to be straight with Twilight.  No point in beating around the bush.

Twilight snickered, “You think you can kidnap me and my friends, and expect me to just give in?  I don’t think so.”  Twilight lunged after Heartbreak, but was caught with her magic and thrown against the wall.  She tried to move again, but she was being held fast.

“You won’t get out of my grasp this time, Sparkle.” She put more into it and Twilight felt a twinge of pain in her hoofs, but was slightly amused that she reminded her of Trixie.  “Now you listen to me, I am going to make you pay for what you did to my hometown.  I will make you pay for all the innocent lives that you wiped away.  You will regret everything, and I will laugh and watch you shrivel up from the inside out.”

Twilight spat at Heartbreak and was amused that the saliva landed in her snarling mouth.

Heartbreak spit it out.  Not that that the taste was weird, since they shared the same saliva flavor, but it would be awkward if she didn’t.  She looked Twilight in the eyes, confused.  “Why aren’t you trying to escape?”

Twilight giggled, “Because I like being held down against my will.”  She gave Heartbreak a seductive look and licked her lips.

Heartbreak’s heart fell.  “What did you just say? Surely, it wasn’t what I thought it was…” She backed her head up a little bit, but not in time, as a kiss from Twilight landed on Heartbreak’s lips.   Her eyes widened and she felt a surge of feelings rise up.  One of them being, what she could only guess, attraction.  This realization startled her, yet, it did not seem as wrong as it should.  Heartbreak blushed profusely, but she did not protest, instead, she let her magic fall and her guard down, leaning into the kiss.  She closed her eyes…and realized her mistake.

Twilight took advantage and used her magic to throw her against the metal blinds.  She pinned Heartbreak there and trotted over with a smile of triumph and amusement.  “Oh- Oh Heartbreak!” She laughed, “I could’ve easily gotten out of that without seducing you,” she winked, “but that was so much more fun.”  She reached Heartbreak, who was struggling with all she had, and got face to face with her.  “I believe you wanted to talk, how about we do just that without magic this time.  Deal?”  She stared Heartbreak in her eyes; waiting for an answer.

“Yes…” Heartbreak hissed.

Twilight released her magical grip on Heartbreak and stepped back.  Her clone fell to the floor and she laughed.

“You’re lucky I’m your clone.  That’s the only reason you’re more powerful than I am…”

Twilight nodded.  She had to admit, this was true.  The cloned version of something was always slightly inferior when it came to physical strength and magical prowess, but when it came to intellect; the clones actually seemed to become superior.  She then smirked as she recalled how she learned so much about the clones.

Through her experiments.

“Hey, what’s so funny?” Heartbreak asked.

Twilight snapped back into reality, “Oh, it’s nothing you should worry your little head about, baby.” She winked again and chuckled as Heartbreak started to get flustered. “You’re too easy to irritate, Heartbreak.  Somepony might take advantage of that.” She gave Heartbreak an innocent look.

Heartbreak had about enough, but she wasn’t about to challenge Twilight.  After all, she was more powerful than her.  Even if she attacked first, Twilight could easily take her out without breaking a sweat.  The only reason she managed to keep Twilight down in the truck was because the chloroform had weakened her.  She thought for a moment, trying to figure out what exactly she could do to annoy Twilight.  She smiled as her superior intellect pulled through.

“Yes, quite amusing Twilight.  Your facetious remark reminds me of your dear girlfriend, Rainbow Dash.  Yes, that winged pony does love her sarcasm.  Too bad she’s so ill she can’t speak anymore.”  Heartbreak delivered an exaggerated pout towards Twilight.

Twilight’s heart felt like it had been stabbed with a rusty spork.  She went from feeling dominant to feeling hopeless and alone in a matter of seconds.  She had missed Rainbow Dash ever since they kidnapped her while she was sleeping, and the simple mention of her name brought the emotion forth.  She hated them for taking her, she hated for what condition that had her in, and she was bound and determined to get her back.

She looked down, avoiding eye contact with Heartbreak so as not to let her see the tears that were forming in her eyes.  She didn’t want her to receive the satisfaction of seeing how hard that statement hit.  She didn’t think about the fact that the tears would fall to the ground and watched in horror as the tear plummeted down to the ground and hit.  The tiny splash shattered the silence that haunted the cell.

Fuck you gravity.

“Aw, poor Twilight misses her girlfriend.  It feels horrible to miss someone you love.  I would know since I WATCHED YOU KILL THEM ALL!” Heartbreak snapped. “I had friends in that damned town that you cloned up for us!  Not only that, but I had friends in the forest that you cloned up too.  Fuck, you cloned up the entire fifty mile radius around Ponyville, and sent it to some isolated spot in the middle of fucking nowhere, and I made friends there too!  You destroyed everything I came to know and love.  Now, I only have Synthia, and she’s too fucking obsessed over you to pay any attention to me!” Tears started to form in Heartbreak’s eyes, “I have nothing because of you.  You went and wiped out everything with no rhyme or reason.  What, were we not good enough?  Did we not turn out how you wanted?  We were just a failed experiment and you decided that the best decision would’ve been to eradicate us?  WELL FUCK YOU!”  Heartbreak threw Twilight against the cell wall and let her hit the floor.  Before Twilight could react, she brought her closer.  Her eyes were glowing and she began to choke the life out of Twilight again.  “I want to kill you right here, right now, but I can’t.  You are vital to the project, and once you and your friends have served your purpose, you will be sent to a location where you will surely die.  And I will be there to watch.  If you survive, then you will get to see your entire town and your entire country be destroyed under the Oblivion Organization.”  She let Twilight go and watched as she fell to the ground and gasped for air. She leaned down and kissed Twilight on the lips, this time catching Twilight by surprise.  “By the way, you need to work on your kissing.  Rainbow Dash would be disappointed to find out that you got rusty over time.”

She raised her head and watched as Twilight finally was able to control her breathing.  She felt powerful, she felt superior to Twilight at last, but something seemed off.  She wasn’t quite sure what it was and she pondered about it.  Nothing abnormal happened… let’s see… Heartbreak mentally reviewed the recent events and was shocked when a realization came to her.

I had total control of Twilight.

She looked down at Twilight; astonished.  Could I have possibly overpowered her?  If so, then how?  Clones are inferior in that area… no, she must not have bothered to try to escape… Her thoughts slowly disappeared as she watched Twilight’s body convulse.  She raised an eyebrow and noticed that the floor had a small pool of water next to Twilight’s face.  She leaned forward to inspect it, and heard very faint noises that sounded like sobbing.  Is she crying? She stopped just inches from Twilight’s face.  She could smell the purple unicorn’s original scent and her heart fell.  What the- she smells nicer than me!  She grimaced, but only at the thought.  She found the smell very appealing really.

Heartbreak shook her head to clear it, and listened.  She indeed could hear sobbing, and assumed it was about Rainbow.  Initially, Heartbreak thought Twilight as oversensitive, but then put herself in Twilight’s place and realized that if Synthia were kidnapped, and was being drained of all her life essences, she would probably break down and cry too.

She frowned and put a comforting hoof on Twilight.  She hated her, for sure, but she had a caring nature.  After all, the trait was transferred over from Twilight herself, and everypony knows she’s always cared for others beside herself.

“Twilight…are you okay?” Heartbreak asked gently.  She knew that was a stupid question considering she wouldn’t be ok if she was laying there, crying.

Twilight rolled over and looked Heartbreak in her eyes; expecting a sarcastic glare or an over exaggerated look of kindness.  Instead, she was dealt a legitimate look of care and concern.  She smiled, but only for a moment.  She quickly made it disappear and looked away.  She didn’t need sympathy.  Not from her.  She is the one who brought Rainbow up.  Twilight’s eyes narrowed and she threw herself up.  She snapped towards Heartbreak.

“I don’t need your sympathy!  You’re the one who made me feel this way by bringing her up!”

Heartbreak knew Twilight was hurt and realized that she probably shouldn’t have gone that far.  She was a little irritated at her sudden outburst, but she kept quiet and tried to think how to calm her down.  She decided that maybe a better way would be to just leave her alone.  Not only would that allow her a chance to cool down, but it would also prevent Twilight from killing her.
