Laughter and Laceration

Dash was bored. She couldn't stand just sitting here, day after day, talking to everypony that had a question for her. Her form of ruling was with an iron hoof and discipline, not this 'freedom of speech' crap. Twilight and Cadence were on their thrones, going about there business.

Dash sat with her head in her hooves as an earthpony explained to her why he should be given a large sum of bits for some crap project to defend Canterlot. "Fuck this! I'm bored!" Dash shouted.

Twilight sighed "Dash, you have to listen to what he says, then make a decision in the topic..."

"HIGH COMMANDER DASH! Fucking learn it!"

Twilight sighed again. "Sorry, High Commander."

Dash grinned. "I don't have to do anything"

"It's your responsibility!"

"It's Celestias responsibility, but she's busy showing us now incapable she is as a leader"

"Don't you da-"

"Do what? I'm in charge here. You're lucky you're alive, you little shit"

"I'm taller than you!"

"And I could still rip your head from your body if I wanted to" Dash stood, then walked out. She walked directly to Celestias quarters. She hadn't left since she had found out that Luna had died, nopony had seen her. Dash opened the door, then slammed it behind her. Celestia was lying on her bed, in the dark.

"Pathetic" Dash sighed. "Get up!"

Celestia slowly looked up, then collapsed back on the bed. "What do you want, Dash?"

"HIGH FUCKING COMMANDER DASH!" She screamed, then composed herself. "I'm here to help you, just like I did with Luna"

"How did you help Luna?"

"Well, before she died, she had some issues she needed help with. I can help you see her"

"H-how? I'll do anything!"

Dash smiled "Just like this" she drove her knife deep into Celestias stomach, then dragged it up to her neck. She then repeatedly jabbed into her with her knives, leaving a bloody wreck where Celestia had once been.

Dash laughed as she walked out, then shut the door behind her. She strutted back to the throne room, then sat down.

"Where have you been...? Whys there blood on you?"

"You're familiar with supernovas, I take it?"

Twilight nodded.

"Well then, let's just say I caused a supernova"

Twilights face dropped "you... Surely not?"

Dash reclined in her throne

"You didn't... Kill... No!" Twilight ran from the room, in a state of blind panic.

"Two down, two to go" Dash laughed

"What did you say?" Cadence asked

Dash had forgotten about her. "Are you missing Shining Armour?"

"O-of course" Cadence choked

Dash smiled "it was such a shame he had to die..."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you don't know? I killed him."

"You brute! Why?"

"He was the only one clever enough to figure out that I killed Luna" she shrugged

Cadence stood and stepped towards Dash

"Sit down, I don't want to have to kill another princess today"

"YOU'RE CRAZY!" She launched herself at Dash.

Dash laughed as she easily sidestepped the lunge and clamped her hoof around Cadences muzzle. "Too easy" She gently pushed her knife into the base of her horn.

"Please! Don't!" Cadence screamed

Dash pushed down, causing a horrifying crunch as Cadences horn shattered, but kept her alive.

Cadence screamed out in pain, tears flowing down her face

Dash let her go

Cadence collapsed to the floor, trying to crawl away

"Have you earns your wings?" Dash questioned as she rested her blades at the base of Cadences wings

"Please!" She screamed

"No then..." Dash easily sliced through the muscle of her wings, cutting them off. "This is fun! I wish I'd done this to Celestia..."

Cadence screamed out and feebly tried to crawl away.

Dash slowly pushed her knife into Cadences throat, then pulled it quickly out, not killing her, but causing her to choke on her own blood.

"NO!" Twilight screamed as she ran into the throne room, flanked by several guards.

Cadence coughed up blood and grasped at her throat as Dash turned to face Twilight. "Three down, one to go..." She glared at Twilight

"Seize her!" Twilight screamed at the guards.

The guards didn't move.

Dash laughed. "I didn't think you'd be this stupid... Look at the guards..."

Twilight slowly turned, then her heart stopped with terror. All of the guards were Pegasi.
