The Deaths

      "Pinkamena would like a word with you." Ruby said to Dingo and Immolate.

      "Is that a changeling?" Scootaloo asked.

      "Don't worry, he's on our side." Ruby said.

      "Ruby, a word." Immolate said. He led her into the kitchen. "Ruby, what is the meaning of this."

      "We needed new killing techniques." Ruby said, "Pinkamena and Scootaloo are killers."

      "I'll be the judge of that." Immolate said, 'We'll speak with Pinkamena. Without Dingo."

      "Alright!" The ponies headed for Sugar Cube Corner.

      "Hello, you must be from Ruby's group." Pinkamena said.

      "Yes. Sadly, our last accomplice could not make it. Risk of Royal Guard." Immolate said, getting a confused look from Pinkamena.

      "Changeling." Ruby said. Pinkamena nodded.

      "So, Ruby said you ran out of ideas." Pinkamena said.

      "We did not! Just... got bored." Immolate said in defense, "You want to merge our bloody groups or not?!"

      "Alright. But we're going to need a base of operations." Pinkamena pondered, "Somewhere we can live and work."

      "Maybe a hidden underground base? Magic can make it easy."

      "Sounds great. We'll pack our supplies and belongings. You should do the same." Pinakmema said to her new ally.
