THE KILLER REVEALED!
Previous ChapterTHE KILLER REVEALED!
Part 1
Twilight charged down the path leading to Everfree forest as fast as her hooves could carry her making sure not to lose sight of the filly with Rainbow Dash flying up ahead with Big Mac and Richard not far behind her.
Rainbow Dash was gaining in the killer fast and was able to get a clear view of her head from above but could not see her face clearly. Suddenly without warning the killer began to throw knives at her which she dodged with ease. Rainbow Dash then flew ahead of the filly and landed sever feet in front of her and froze. “No....way....” Rainbow Dash said in a shocked tone as the killer grew closer to her and pulled out a knife lunging at her however missed as Rainbow Dash snapped herself out of her stupor and took to the skies.
“It's can't be her.....it just can't...” Rainbow Dash said in a shocked tone as she began to speed up again keeping up with the killer but keeping a safe distance in case she had anymore knives hidden. “I have to know for sure!” Rainbow Dash said aloud as they neared an all too familiar location in the Everfree forest.
It was the ruins where they first found the Elements of Harmony.
The filly ran inside and shortly after Rainbow Dash landed just short of the entrance. The Cyan blue Pegasus took slow cautious steps as she went inside. She knew Twilight and the others couldn't be far behind but it would take them at least 5 minuets to get here. As she continued walking she stopped short of an old statue but no sign of the killer. Since this was a dead end and she knew this was the only way in or out she must have a secret passage hidden somewhere and began to search. Sure enough she found it not long after she began looking. A tile of the stone floor was clearly out of place and had been moved recently.
Rainbow Dash lifted it up and moved it with ease then jumped down the hole panicking at first as it was a stone slide more or less as she tumbled down it unable to get a grip on anything or use her wings to slow herself. Moments later she flew out a hole and gave a startled scream as she flapped her wings in a panic to keep herself from being impaled by a set of steel spikes that had been pushed there on an old wheel cart. “That was close...” Rainbow Dash said in a breathless tone as her heart felt as if it threatened to explode out of her chest as it was thumping against her ribcage so hard right now.
Knowing that Twilight and the others would surely follow this same path she pushed the old cart out of the way to the other side of the room. “There...now they won't get impaled... good thing I came down here first. That would have been bad if Twilight or one of the others came down first...” Rainbow Dash said aloud then turned her gaze to the path that was lit up with many torches.
The cyan blue Pegasus then began to hover just a few feet above the ground as she traveled down the hall until she came to a open room with many torches keeping the room well lit. On the other side of the room stood the killer her face perfectly visible under the bright glow of the torches.
“Well Ah I was hopin you'd get killed by mah spikes but I guess bein a Pegasus and all you had that covered didn't ya Rainbow?” The killer said with a smug grin.
“It is you...but it can't be...you're dead!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in a shocked tone.
“Amazin isn't it? Wanna know how ah pulled it off?” The killer replied still wearing her smug grin.
“But at Apple acres....Twilight and Applejack saw your corpse!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed still trying to make sense of how this was possible.
At this point a faint trotting could be heard growing louder by the second.
“Ah was wonderin how long it would take those three to catch up. Now we can finish the game.” The killer said as she turned around, stepped on a stone panel, and turned back around.
Moments later a faint rumbling could be heard...
Big Mac gave a look behind himself and let out a gasp. “Twilight...Ah don't mean to be rushin ya but we got a problem!” Big mac exclaimed at which point Twilight and Richard gave a look behind themselves. Up till now they were catching their breath as they had ran the whole way but now as they looked behind themselves they could see that was not an option as the floor behind them was beginning to give way.
“Mother of Celestia......RUN!” Twilight exclaimed at the top of her lungs as the three of them began to run for their lives.
Big mac and Twilight were at full speed ahead however Richard as he was old in years was not running as fast as the other two even though he was going at his max speed. Richard gave a panicked glance behind himself then back to the other two who were gaining a progressive gap between him and them. “Twilight! Catch! Richard then reached into his side pocket with his mouth which was on his officer uniform then chucked a small trinket at Twilight who caught it in her mouth and placed it in her saddlebag. “Give an old colt his final wish and put that on my brother's grave would ya?” Richard shouted as the collapsing floor grew dangerously closer to him.
“Richard?! What are you talking about?! Run!” Twilight exclaimed looking behind herself but keeping a steady speed.
“This old colt can't hack it Twilight, you and me both know this. I'm proud as heck to have worked with you for as long as I have. Save that poor filly! I know she's done a lot wrong but you and me both know it's not her fault! Now keep on running and don't look back!” Richard exclaimed as the collapsing floor was just behind him now and the seemingly bottomless pit would swallow him up in a few moments.
Twilight continued to look behind herself for a few more moments as tears swelled in her eyes and forced herself to jolt her head forward looking ahead of herself as they began to flow down her cheeks as she ran.
“Heh...who knew I would kick the bucket like this eh bro?” Richard said quietly to himself as he continued to run feeling the floor beneath him begin to give way. However at the last moment he gave a backwards jump turning about face mid-air. “Save a seat for me in heaven bro, because here I come!!!” Richard shouted at the top of his lungs as he looked into the seemingly endless pit and dived into it head first.
Twilight and Big mac soon saw Rainbow Dash come into the view and realized the floor behind them was no longer collapsing behind them.
“Rainbow! Thank goodness you're okay!” Twilight exclaimed as she ran up the cyan blue Pegasus and hugged her tightly however event though she was still alive the cyan blue Pegasus couldn't stop staring at the killer in front of her. “Rainbow? What's wrong?” Twilight asked after a few moments with a sense of worry in her voice.
“Applebloom....” Rainbow Dash said in the same shocked tone as earlier.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Twilight asked in a confused tone, looked in the direction that Rainbow Dash was looking and gave a startled gasp.
“Ah see y'all made it...well except for the old geezer. Now the fun can begin and we can finally bring an end to this here game of ours.” Applebloom said with a malicious grin.
“It can't be true....it just can't...mah sweet little sister is the killer?” Big Mac said in a shocked voice similar to Rainbow Dash's.
“Don't be so shocked big brother. After all your the one who told me to hide here after you found Sweetie Belle dead in my room.” Applebloom replied with a coy grin.
“Say what?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as this set of information snapped her out of her stupor and gave a shocked glance at Big Mac.
“Ah gotta say. You did a really good job of dressin up Sweetie Belle's corpse up like meh.” Applebloom said still wearing her coy grin.
“Ah did it to protect you! Ah thought it was just an accident! Ah didn't think you would take it this far!” Big Mac exclaimed in both an angry yet shocked tone.
“Well, to be honest..it was an accident but it was a fun accident. She wasn't supposed to die just yet but she just wouldn’t stop sceamin so ah slit her throat and put on an amazin act for ya big bro. Ah gonna kill ya when you when you had your back turned but then you told me you would take care of everything, handed meh this here map and told me to lay low for a long time. Ah gotta say. It couldn't of turned out more perfect! Ah mean, who's gonna look for someone who's dead?! Haha!” Applebloom exclaimed and gave a cute sounding laugh.
“Ah wish you woulda killed meh...then Ah wouldn't have to live with this here shame Ah now have of you.” Big Mac replied lowering his head as a silent tear flowed down his cheek and his the cold cement floor.
“Ashamed?! Now don't be like big bro! You helped me out big time! That's why I didn't kill ya! You proved yourself a loyal big brother! Now why don't ya come to your little sister's side and help me finish up this here game.” Applebloom said in a soft voice.
“You killed Applejack...your big sister! How could you Applebloom?! How could you?!” Big Mac exclaimed in reply to this his rage and pain clearly heard in his voice.
“Ah didn't want to! But Ah no choice! It's all her fault! She became friends with her! And the game must be played according to the rules. Ah can't change em! But Ah tell you what, it took everythin I had in me to not kill her right off the bat!” Applebloom exclaimed as tears could be seen in her eyes.
Twilight's rage was near it breaking point when Fluttershy's words came thundering into her head like a lightning bolt.
FLASHBACK
END FLASHBACK
At this Twilight had yet another epiphany. Even though she was psychopathic killer she still loved her family dearly. That was the key. That's how she's save Applebloom.
“So Whatta ya say big bro? Join your little sister and finish our game? Then we can move far away and leave this behind us.” Applebloom said extending a hoof.
“Eeeeeee-NOPE!” Big mac exclaimed and charged at Applebloom full throttle.
Applebloom quickly jumped out of the way causing Big Mac to hit the wall head on dazing himself.
“Aww,,,Big Mac....your such a...disappointment. And here I was thinkin about givin mah virginity to ya.” Applebloom said as she swiftly took a large dagger off the table next to her and drove it into Big Mac's side earning a shrill cry of pain from the colt.
“Ah...would never do anythin with family!” Big Mac exclaimed through a pained voice even though he couldn't move as he was paralyzed with pain at the moment.
“You liar!” Applebloom exclaimed stabbing him again earning another shrill pained cry. “Ah saw you and Applejack going at it every night for the past year! You thought Ah didn't know?! Kind of hard not to when Ah heard Applejack screaming, Harder bro! slam that pony meat into me!” Applebloom exclaimed as rage and anger could clearly be heard in her voice.
Big mac's legs finally gave way as he felt to the ground as his own blood began to pool under him. All the while Twilight and Rainbow Dash were frozen in a stupor unable to make themselves move even though they wanted to. “Ah...never meant...for it...to go....that far...” Big Mac said between wheezes in a pain voiced.
“Sure you didn't. But it did all the same didn't it? You banged my big sister's cunt raw every night!” Applebloom exclaimed stabbing him again earning another cry of pain from the colt.
“Stop it, stop it ,STOP IT!!!” Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs finally making her body move and tackling Applebloom to the ground before she could react which causing the dagger in her hoof to go flying out and hit the ground with a clang. “Applebloom, I know the real you is in there! You would never kill your sister! And you would never kill your brother! Come on! Fight it! I know you can!” Twilight exclaimed as tears flowed from her eyes as she looked into Applebloom's eyes.
Applebloom looked into Twilight's eyes and her expression softened and suddenly became very sad. “Ah can't Twilight...there's no goin back now. There's no no family waitin for me where Ah'm goin...” Applebloom said in a sad tone then her expression suddenly became angry again and gave Twilight a sift hoof to the face causing her to stumble onto her back.
“The game must end Twilight...This twisted game must end...” Applebloom said in a solemn tone.
“I couldn't agree more!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed taking off from the ground.
“Rainbow wait! Let me try to reach her!” Twilight exclaimed in a panicked voice as the cyan blue Pegasus fly up high and stopped.
“There's no reaching her Twilight! She gone off the deep end and she's not coming back!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed preparing to dive when Applebloom stepped on yet another stone panel on the floor.
“Rainbow, Nooooooooooooooooooooo!” Twilight screamed as she watched her friend give a horrified glance to each side realizing all too late was was coming.
Two wooden flat boards with spikes on each of them flew from the ceiling without warning and in a mere instant before Rainbow Dash could react was caught in between them. Rainbow's body seemed to explode in a gush of blood as the spiked boards collided with her in the middle with a sicking crunching sound
It took a few moments but Rainbow Dash's jagged corpse came slowly slipped out and hit the ground with a sickening thud as blood pooled under her body and dripped on her corpse from above.
“Friendship is magic..ain't it Twilight? The magical feeling of watching your closest friends die right before your eyes. And of course this is the climax of our game. Now Ah get to see how far you've fallen before I end your life.” Applebloom said with a malicious grin as Twilight sobbed loudly.
“All my friends are dead....all dead...” Twilight said between sobs as she looked on at Rainbow's corpse and remembered every single one of her friends. Remembering the times they shared the fun they had and each one of their deaths. “We'll never laugh, cry, or hang out again...” Twilight said between sobs.
“Yes...that's it Twilight show me how far you've fallen.” Applebloom said with a cackle.
“But I know..that even in death...even Rainbow wouldn't want me to be mad at you....I mean how could I? Your nothing more than the result of Brandon's twisted game. And I know this isn't you...i know your in there...” Twilight said trailing off as she lifted up the dagger laying next to her without Applebloom noticing this. “And I’m going to save you...” Twilight said trailing off as she positioned the dagger beneath her right hoof. “Even if it means...that I have to kill you...if that will free you from this psychopathic filly...then...” Twilight said trailing off then jolted her head upwards, slammed her hoof down on the dagger causing it to recoil and fling up, bit down on it mid air and charged at Applebloom before she could react stabbing her squarely in the chest. “That's what I'll do!” Twilight exclaimed through gritted teeth as she drop the dagger deeper into the filly till the tip ejected out of her back.
Applebloom's face was of sheer shock for a few moments but only for a few moments then her expression changed to that of a relieved one as she fell into Twilight's hooves as she extended them to catch the filly.
“Thank you...” Applebloom said in a weak voice with a peaceful smile on her face before her eyes fluttered shut and she stopped breathing.
Twilight looked into Applebloom's peaceful face as fresh tears of pain began to flow as she held onto Applebloom sobbing loudly. “I'm so sorry Applebloom..but there was no other way to save you...” Twilight said between sobs. Twilight sat there sobbing for a long time as her final memories of Applebloom flashed before her eyes.
“Friendship is magic..ain't it Twilight? The magical feeling of watching your closest friends die right before your eyes.” Applebloom's voice echoed throughout her head.
“Yeah..it's magical alright...” Twilight said between sobs as if answering the voice. However she suddenly stopped crying moments later. “It is magical...isn't it?” Twilight said in a eerie yet cheery voice.
“Twilight....can you help me up? I think I’ll be okay....i just need to get to a doctor soon.” Big Mac said as he stood up weakly still bleeding but able to stand if only for a moment before he fell to his knees.
“Say Big Mac..are you my friend?” Twilight asked in a sweet voice.
“Of course...now can you help me get out of here?” Big Mac said in a pained tone.
“Oh...that's too bad..because if you are my friend..then that must mean you have to die....because all my friends die...I'm not allow to have friends...that's the magic of friendship it decides which pony gets to have friends and which one doesn't...” Twilight replied in the same sweet tone.
“What the hay are you talkin abou-gasp-” Big Mac began to say only for his words to be cut off as Twilight drove the dagger strait into his chest piercing his heart.
“I'm so sorry Big Mac... But Twilight Sparkle isn't allow to have to friends. If she does have any they must die.” Twilight said in a sweet voice and looked off as Big mac gave several short horrified breaths until he fell flat onto his face dead.
Twilight's face looked positively crazy at the moment as she began to walk causally out of the the ruins and to Ponyville to find any other possible friends she had made during her time in Ponyville.
THE END?
