The Beginning Pt. 2

It was another average day in Ponyville. The ponies were either out and about making their shopping trips, hard at work, or just having some fun. But what was about to happen would forever change the town, and Equestria as a whole. The Draconis from the statue stealthily made his way into town, seeking out the Six ponies who held the Elements of Harmony. He found his way to a small cottage ont he outskirts of town. The kind yellow pegasus held the element of Kindness.
"Hmm, while it would be a laugh to unleash this one upon her friends, it is kind of expected. But if the others are not suitable, I will definitly have her be the one." The Draconis said. He went on his way to the Library at the center of town, the holder of the Element of magic was living there.
"This one wouldn't do, her magic is quite powerful, she could resist the spell, and then I would be trapped in that infernal statue again." The Draconis left Twilight Sparkle alone. He plotted where to go next. He checked out the homes of Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. These three were not suitable for his master plan.

"Ahh.. I just need one pony I can easily fool with an illusion. Wait, there is Rarity, the holder of the element of generousity. Well, she might be the one, if not, Fluttershy is always an option. Discord, you've outdone yourself this time, this shall be fun." Discord headed over to Rarity's home, to peek in on her workign with a large haul of Diamonds from her adventure dealing with the Diamond Dogs. He concoted a plan.

"I will distort the world in the eyes of Rarity, make her friends appear as those who would steal her gems. Just lay a few things about the house, and soon enoughthe 5 other element holders will be dead, and Equestria is mine." Discord chuckled evilly as he entered the Boutique. He hid in the gem pile.

"This needs some mroe gems, but only one of the finest." Rarity said as she reached into the bin of gems, when her hoof struck something odd. Discord rose out of the gems, startling Rarity.

"Ahh, Miss Rarity, don't be spooked, just look into this fine gem I found for your dress." Rarity stared into this gem, until she was under the control of Discord's evil influence.

"Good, Rarity.. Now take a look outside. See that magnificant city? The gems that line the streets, the multitude of rich, royal ponies tortting about? Well I know of 5 foolish ponies who want to ruin our way of life! You are the only one who can stop them. If you do this, all of these gems will become yours. And heres how you will do it. About your house I have laid many tools to aid you in this task. It is up to you to decide how to kill each of these 5 ponies. They will come over to your house if you simply ask them too, the fools. I will be here watching from the sidelines." Rarity nodded as Discord told her what she had to do. She then walked over to her dress making supplies, and finishes her grand dress.

"It's almost time for the party, I better call Fluttershy over, pronto." Rarity said to herself.

The Kindness

"Ahh what a lovely day, the birds are singing, the bunnies playing, and I get to spend the afternoon at Rarity's." Said Fluttershy, as she made her way to the Botique. What she thought was going to be a fun day with a friend, was going to be quite the opposite. Meanwhile at the boutique Rarity is hiding a knife in a convient location, when Discord asked her a question.

"So, Rarity, how will you kill this first one? Surely you have something fun planned?" Discord asked excitedly. Rarity stopped and thought about this for a moment, and turned to him.

"Well, I was gonna kill her quick to get it over with." Discord had a look of disgust on his face.

"What?! These thieves deserve the most slow, excruciating death you can give them! It will send fear through the minds of all other would be thieves! If you just simply killed her quick, you just told the entire town to steal your fortress of Diamonds!" Discord shouted, then he whipsered an idea into Rarity's ear, and pointed to the shelf. After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door and a soft voice calling out. Rarity excitedly told Fluttershy to come in, and take a seat on the couch. Ideas were going through her mind, causing her face to display a warped smile.

"Well, hello there Fluttershy. I suppose you are wondering what we will be doing today. Well I installed a new Spa bath in my room, so I do not need to run to the spa everytime I need one." Fluttershy smiled with delight. She loved going to the Spa with Rarity, so this should be just as fun.

"Oh, um Rarity, this bath is um empty. What are you gonna fill it with? Mud?" Rarity laughed as Fluttershy stared into the empty tub. She excused herself for a moment, leaving Fluttershy alone in her room. Once downstairs, Rarity went to her Diamond studded chest, and pulled out a pair of Bolt Cutters, and a Knife. Discord laughed as he saw Rarity go upstairs to "play" with her victim. He cracked the door slightly ajar, so he could see the scene first hand.

"Oh, I am so sorry for this Darling." Rarity said as she swiftly cut one of the yellow pegasus' wings clean off with the bolt cutter, causing the pegasus to fall into the tub, crying. Her blood was starting to fill the tub. Fluttershy was screaming out, before Rarity shoved a large gem into her mouth to silence her.

"I bet you thought you were going to get my Gems, you bitch. But no. I am onto you. Oh, and so you don't try anything," Rarity swiftly cuts the other wing off, the blood spraying onto her new dress. Fluttershy was letting out muffled cries asking why Rarity would do this. Rarity was tired of Fluttershy staring at her with those eyes, so she used the knife and popped one out, and threw it into the tub of blood, which started to fill higher, submerging Fluttershy completely. Rarity was enjoying this too much, she climbed out of the bloody tub, her dress mostly soaked in blood. Fluttershy overcame the great pain and came up for air, spitting the diamond out.

"What happened Rarity, we are fre--" Rarity shoved the knife into Fluttershy's throat, silencing the Pegasus. She then bucked the pegasus back into the tub of blood, and left her to die. Discord emerged from behind the door, applauding Rarity's handiwork.

"That was quite the show! You were the one after all!" Discord said happily. Without Fluttershy, the elements couldn't be formed, and Discord knew this. But what fun would it be to let the other 4 live? What was once neccisary for Discord's master plan had become a game to him and Rarity. The two went downstairs, and celebrated ths bloodshed with a dinner. Rarity had made a wonderful roast out of her friend, to show her thanks to Discord. The two feasted and shared tales for the rest of the night, planning what to do with the Pink pony.

The Laughter

“Oh boy! This is gonna be lots of fun, Gummy! Oh how I wish you could come, but Rarity said it was a “special” kind of get together. I didn't even know she swung that way!” Pinkie was skipping about her house, getting supplies, such as flour and other cupcake ingredients. “What did you think I meant Gummy? Something dirty? Oh no, not dirty like that, silly billy!” She gave Gummy a kiss goodbye as she skipped over to Rarity's house. She said hello to everypony, greeted a few new faces, and promised them a party later. She thought it was weird that Fluttershy hadn't been at the pet store, this was her usual time to buy birdseed for the wild birds she cares for. She giggled and thought nothing of it, maybe she decided to go earlier. Pinkie finally bounced to Rarity's door, and before she could knock, the door swung open, causing Pinkie to fall in as she leaned to knock.

“Oh, Hey Rarity! Are you excited? I am, I didn't think you would get your hooves dirty with me, but wanting to make cupcakes with me? This is gonna be fun! I wrote a song about this!” Rarity interrupted her before she sung her song, and asked her to go pick up a letter from her desk. Pinkie thought nothing of it, and felt a slight prick in her neck as she turned around, then fell unconscious. Rarity had used a syringe full of tranquilizer that Discord had left her. He was watching from the sidelines. “Well, are you just going to sit there, or are you going to help me get this thing up to the bath?” Discord sighed, and helped Rarity bring the pink pony to the upstairs. Suddenly a burst of cool water woke the earth pony up. “Oh..Rarity, what happened..and why am I tied up? Wait..Is this what you meant by a special day? Oh..I didn't know you went that way, I thought we were going to make cupcakes!” Pinkie takes a deep breath, preparing to sing her Cupcakes song, when Rarity drove her hoof into the pony's throat, shutting her up, and causing tears to form.

“Oh god, why must all you ponies have such annoying eyes when you cry. If I didn't want you to see what I am about to do, I'd cut them out right now. But there is no fun in that. Simply put, my dear, you were right, we were going to make cupcakes, not partake in that BDSM fetish of yours. You did save me a few bits on supplies, and I thank you. Your reward is a front row seat of a once in a lifetime event, for you at least.” Rarity was laughing manically at the end of her speech. She had Discord Soundproof the room this time, so she could hear the cries of torment, without the possibility of detection. She called to the closet, which confused Pinkie. Suddenly Discord himself appeared, with a few needles, and a sewing kit. “Oh, my dear Pinkamena Diane Pie, you just had to hold the element of Laughter, didn't you?”Discord spoke, “Otherwise, you would be out there, living it up. But you see, Rarity here, she thinks of you as a thief. One she wants to kill, brutally. But you can rest easy, this is a fun game!” Discord laughed as the pony started to cry. “Oh no no no Pinkie, we can't have you shutting your eyes now!” Discord pulled out the needle and thread, and proceeded to sew her eyelids open, and fixes her vision to her body, and tells Rarity to proceed with the festivities, he would mix the cupcake batter while the fun was underway.

“So, Pinkie darling, did you know that a Pony can live without their skin? Well, as long as they stay in a clean environment, such as this. It also helps if the one skinning you wanted you to live, of course.” Rarity let out her sinister laugh she had developed from the fun. Pinkie was scared, that she lost control of her bladder. Rarity shook her head at the sight of this. “Oh now darling, you ruined a small part of the special ingredient, I would never make anypony eat a urine soaked piece of Pinkie. Now I have to punish you before the fun starts!” Rarity trots over to her tools, pulling out a hatchet, a knife, and a nail gun. “Hmm, the hatchet will come in handy afterward, Really don't need to nail you down, so the Knife will be just fine for this.” Rarity takes the knife in her mouth, and trots over to Pinkies flank, looking at her urine stained nether region. “Oh, if we were brought together on happier terms, I might of partook in the sexual fun, but you had to soak it in urine, now to waste this meat.” Rarity used her telekinesis to lift the knife, and proceeded to carve out the soiled chunk of flesh, causing Pinkie to pass out. Discord slithered over next to her.

“Rarity, wait a second, she cannot experience this, just a shot of my special brew, and she won't be able to pass out!” Discord inserted the syringe full fo a mysterious fluid into Pinkies arm, who awoke to the sight of Rarity carving out her flesh. “Rar..Rarity, why are you cutting those off, how will I go to the bathroom now?” Pinkie was trying to make the best of this situation, playing it off as a dream. Discord found this hilarious, and told Rarity to continue with it. Rarity finally got the ruined chunk of meat off of Pinkie, and walked over, forcing her mouth open. “Now now Darling, if you hadn't ruiend this, I wouldn't have to force feed it to you.” With that, she shoved the chunk of flesh down into her mouth, when Pinkie cired out, trying to spit it out, the feel of a dream soon faded back into fear. Rarity had used her magic to force the chunk down her throat, and had made sure it had reached her stomach.

“Oh darling, it would have been wonderful had you thought it was all a dream still. But now you had gone and ruined that too!” Rarity used a hoof to strike Pinkie across the face, causing Pinkie to cry out. Discord had grown annoyed with the pink one's voice, and told Rarity to silence her. She sighed, and proceeded to carefully cut at her throat, where she carefully removed her vocal box, hoping not to kill her play toy before the fun begun. Pinkie tried to move her body to cause the knife to end her suffering right now, but the magical fluid Discord injected her with caused her to lose all control of her body, yet still allowed her to feel each nerve, even more so than usual. Rarity managed to silence the pony, without ruining the fun, and threw the vocal chords into the tub below. It was filled with a mixture of urine and blood from her newest victim. Yellow, blood stained feathers still littered the tub, from her last victim. Rarity used her magic to lift a few, causing Pinkie's eyes to stream tears at a rapid rate.

“That is right darling, Fluttershy was killed, much like you were. She made a lovely roast, and her skin made these lovely pot holders.” She proceeded to get a larger knife, and slowly made an incision from the pink pony's chest, to the spot where the ruined flesh was cut out. She got out a bizarre looking tool, it was a flat piece of steel. Rarity knew what Discord had given it to her for. She slid the flat metal into the incision, lifting the skin up off the body. What felt like days of excruciating pain to Pinkie finally ended. Rarity pulled the skin off slowly, Pinkie had seen it, what laid protected under her flesh was exposed. Rarity was almost done, but before, she kissed Pinkie on the cheek. “I just want to thank you for the fun you gave me today, darling. But now it must come to an end.” With that, Rarity had used her magic to bring the Hatchet up, and she kept bringing it down, cutting the body from the below the stomach off, spilling out the entrails into the tub below. Pinkie had tried to let out a loud sound as she was slowly dying then and there. The pain had gotten to be so much, Pinkie couldn't feel pain anymore. Discord then handed her the nail gun.”It isn't fun if she can't feel it, be a dear and put her out of her misery.” Rarity had placed the nail gun in between Pinkie's eyes, and pulled the trigger, killing the pink pony then and there, a tear of joy running down her cheek.

“Ahh, Rarity, a job well done!” Discord commended her, “And these cupcakes are so wonderful!” Rarity chuckled, as she took a bite. “Why of course, Discord, and this rug is lovely! I must thank you for bringing this fun to me!” She gave him a hug, and retired to her chambers for the night.

The Beginning pt. 1

It was a sunny day in the Canterlto garden, Cherilee was leading her class through the royal grounds on a field trip. A statue stood out among the rest. The Draconis. A being of pure chaos, according to the teacher mare. Three young fillies stared at the statue, and discussed about their cutie marks, when they started to rough house amongst eachother. The fight was quickly broken up, and the tour resumed, but the statue had cracked.

"What's this?" A strange voice said, "It's as if my prison has been compromised, how wonderful." The voice started to chuckle, as the spirit inside leaked out. This spirit then snuck a peak inside the royal palace. What caught his eye was a magnificent Stain Glass mural, depicting the 6 Elements of Harmony, and one pony representing each. What exactly happened in his long abscence? His face lit up as he formulated an idea.

"Miss Cherliee, what does this picture represent?" Asked Scootaloo, a young orange pegasus.

"Why Scootaloo, that tells the tale of how the brave 6 holders of the elements vanquished Nigthmare Moon, freeing Luna from her curse. I am surprised you'd forget after all Rainbow Dash was involved." Scootaloo stared blanky, until a strange feeling left her body. The draconis had used his power to have the filly gather the information. The class later left the palace, returning home.
"So, the Elements are no longer tied to Celestia and Luna, but rather 6 weaker ponies? I should kill them, then take control of Equestria, but what fun is it if I do the killing? I will turn one of them against the rest." Discord chuckled as he made his way to Ponyville.
