Legion's Plague

The light returned to show what exactly became of the Brothers: both were eviscerated cleanly and both had their decapitated heads literally tied to their shaftless dicks. The shafts were stitched into a crude mockery of unicorns everywhere and plastered on their foreheads. The bodies were hung on a tree and a swastika made of blood was painted underneath the bodies as a warning to all whom would dare imply such things as raping Wing within so much as earshot of the now-half-pony man whose name was Lance.

Speaking of which, the winged, Nazi-esque, man-turned-non-horned-satyr was drenched in blood from head to hoof. His sword was covered in small, trickling rivers of blood that fell off and patted the soft, dry earth. He heaved at the God-forsaken that he himself created with his own hands.

All at once, he landed on his knees and began to tremble. The twins ran over to him and grasped his shoulders in a frantic attempt to get him back onto his hooves.

"I....I vowed never to kill again......th-that's just what I did....I killed...." Lance said, his voice beginning to crack and his eyes going wide.

"You had to, brother." Fang replied with a reassuring voice, "Who knows what they would've done after we were 'made into cider...' for all we know, they could've gone after Twilight and the others next," he added slowly.

"They also mentioned defilement. Big brother, you never answered that question I asked before you were sick, so I'll ask again: What's rape?" Wing sighed with concern.

Lance nodded weakly. Fang was right, he only did what was needed to be done, even if he did go a little overboard with it. Upon hearing Wing saying 'what's rape?' so blatantly, his face curled into disgust.

Pure disgust.

Alexis felt herself about to throw up and give birth simultaneously upon hearing those two words fly out of the werewolf's maw. She stepped towards everyone else, clutching her scythe as if for dear life. Lance looked at her, as if asking for a way to weasel out of answering that question with a looooong talk.

"Remember when I got beat up in school? Had a broken wrist or something like that?" Alexis asked, her own voice cracking.

Lance nodded. "Your parents went frantic. They were bat-shit pissed about it." He replied.

"I....left some details out." Alexis sighed. "No, scratch that, I left a lot of details out."

Lance's eyes widened further. "You can't mean that....you were....?" He asked, his throat dry because his voice cracked so much.

Alexis only nodded. "Yes....I was......raped." She said, softly.

Kaleb went aghast with shock. "Please, fill me in on the details since you just came forward." He said.

Alexis walked up to him and raised her hand.

SMACK

"If it were that simple, I would!" She yelled, tears now falling from her eyes. "I-I can't j-just tell you everything!!" She knelt down to the ground and began to sob uncontrollably. Her hands curled into fists and she slammed them over and over into the ground whilst screaming in animalistic cries.

"I knew I shouldn't have kept it a secret from my parents! It caused me all this pain for so long! WHY WAS I STUPID?!" She shrieked as she pounded the ground for the last time. Now, her hands clutched her arms, as if she were cold. She was shaking like a leaf and tears were still falling.

Chuckles put on a frown somehow. He walked slowly to his master, as if able to understand her pain. When he stood next to her, he knelt down and hugged her.

Then, Lupus trotted over and licked the tears away with a ghostly tongue. He whimpered sadly.

Amelia and Jaden looked at each other and simply shrugged. Nick raised an eyebrow.

Kaleb backed away, knowing full well he was staring down the nervous wreck of a leader. Then again, his sister was raped and brutally murdered, but the assailant was never found--at least, when he was a child. He himself found the monster who did the foul deed and gave him just retribution so his sister would be at peace. The monster was, strangely enough, a necromancer as well, and he began to ponder if Alexis shared any connection with this fiend other than knowledge and practice of the dark arts.

"Before I answer some questions, might I ask, who the hell is that guy?" Lance asked, having regained his composure somewhat as he pointed a finger at Kaleb.

The Spartan sighed, letting his head and broad shoulders drop in annoyance. A black scribble appeared above his head and stayed there as if to mock him.

Lazarus grabbed Lance by the back of his head and yanked his ear close to his mouth.

"OUCH!" Shrieked the Nazi.

Lazarus held a hand before the ear and began whispering into it.

Kaleb....son of Balthor....monster-slayer.....crazy Spartan guy....

As Lance got the explanation, he nodded. Once that was said and done, he said "Let go of my ear please." The God of the Winds did as he was asked.

Lance took a deep breath, now standing straight up. "Before I continue, someone for the love of GodCat give her sleeping pills." He said, pointing towards a still-sobbing Alexis.

=========

Lancelot climbed out of the Valkyrie and ran towards everyone else. He had just finished putting Alexis inside the tank to rest.

"So.....mother....she...?" Wing asked fearfully.

Lance nodded. "Left and right before I was born. I was one of the few she kept....and I dunno where our other siblings went....well, the ones that lived, anyway." He answered, rubbing a hand on the back of his head nervously.

"But...weren't you abandoned?" Fang pointed out, crossing his arms.

"She had to. Remember that Isabella lady? Old, crazy bitch?" Lance retorted, spreading his mechanical wings.

Fang nodded.

"Yeah. Whole village went on a fox-hunt. They would've killed me as well." Lance sighed.

Kaleb picked Lance up by the back of his jacket.

"Whatdya want?" Lance asked, raising a brow. He seemed to be rather annoyed by the sudden invasion of personal space.

"I went to a statue garden in this town called Canterlot....when I looked at the empty stone pedestals, I saw one such monolith inscribed with "Isabella, Former Leader of Valleywood." Is this the same elderly woman you speak of?" Kaleb replied, his face curling in disgust as if Lance disrespected pretty much everything.

Lance nodded, then his eyes went wide. "She wasn't there?! But she was petrified over fifteen years ago for crimes she did to Valleywood Village and its inhabitants--me included since I was born there!" He answered frantically as his ears twitched. He started to struggle wildly, his arms flailed up and down and his legs flailed back and forth.

Kaleb unceremoniously dropped the Nazi, who landed on his ass.

"Wait waitwaitwaitwait." Lazarus said, stepping in between the two. "Did you say....the gardens...were empty?" He asked, his eyes wide.

Kaleb nodded. "So was the throne room of the alleged Sun and Moon of Equestria. All I found was this..." He stopped, producing a piece of paper from his chiton. He unfolded it and showed it to the Godling.

The reign of all four Equestrian Princesses are over.

Now, I must somehow eradicate the Wandering Heroes from the equation, lest they get in the way of my completing my ultimate goals.

But how...? How is one able to perform such a feat when they have bested things that to which the Heroes themselves are capable of merely possessing a fraction of the strength of these things such as GodCat and Akron?

I think....I have an idea.....

But I know that, for it to fully work, that damned fox has to fall for my ruse.
