purity

“Well, it’s not like you have a choice. You’re being sacrificed for the greater good, to bring us one step closer to a perfect, non-judgmental, strong race! A step closer to a better world! It’s an honor, my dear girl! You’re helping us to evolve by ridding us of your presence.” She turned to the proctor as the other two cult ponies merged with them. “Let the sacrifice begin.”

However, gunshots suddenly rang out accompanied by yells of "Death to the cultists!", and a group of armoured stallions ran in, all armed with assault rifles and dressed in dark, obsidian black armour bearing the symbol of a umbrella with a sword and a skull.

"Rainbow Dash!" the apparent leader threw off his helmet and revealed a handsome, if not angered face. His eyes gleamed bloody red and his mane was a dark green down one side, but the other was drenched in blood. he raised his assault rifle and fired a shot that hit the proctor in the eye who who thrashed in pain as the stallion shouted "You're a killer, you must die! SHOOT A BULLET IN YOUR EYE!"

This was some kind of code-word, as the squad swarmed forward, killing all in their path as the leader snarled "I never thought it would work so well. even your advanced killing machines were unable to kill me. in other words, YOU'RE FUCKED!" he yelled

"Who are you?" demanded Twilight.

The leader gave an ironic bow and replied "my name is none of your business but call me... Fire Heart. commander of the 6th CBA legion and the one who shall end your pathetic existence. You are common criminals, under sentence of death. You ain't the law. The Umbrella corporation is the law. And now, the U.S.S march as legion. I must say, when you meet the devil, tell him he has a new ally."

Without a second word, he fired a well-placed shot that blasted Twilight's horn clean off.

Diamond Tiara, who'd been watching this while tied up, was suddenly cut free as a pair of bulky stallion soldiers cut the ropes binding her. she scrambled to safety as fire heart yelled " Delta team, have you got them outta the cells?"

"Affirmative!"

"Then get up here! We gotta kill a stinking alicorn!"

Then, about 7 troops entered and said "All evidence has been gathered, all prisoners are rescued, now all that remains... is to disable this alicorn". then, they each took a shot at twilight's wings and tied the cultists up. dragging them into a transport vehicle.

Twilight and Rainbow heard Fire growl "You are so dead."

6 days later (the aftermath)

Today marks a sad day for Equestria. Twilight Sparkle, the new princess of friendship and element of magic was today executed via firing squad together with rainbow dash and a group of other ponies. They were revealed by the group known as CBA, to have been in a cult that was murdering colts and fillies that they deemed 'impure'.

The leader of the assault that brought the cult down, Fire Heary has said "That was a vicious assault. judging by the age of some of the dried blood we found there, I'd guess that they've been in operation for approximately 500+ years.

3 of the victims, all who had contact with Twilight, the cult's leader, are receiving psychological help and one witness, Diamond Tiara has testified against them.

Fire himself, it has been discovered, was a previous cult target when he was a colt, due to the fact that his father, Flame Stoker was a member of their greatest enemy at the time, an organization called the EGU or evidence gathering unit. He was due to be killed as a psychological attack.

He evaded every attempt however, and eventually reformed them into the CBA or Cult Buster Alliance. When they attacked the stronghold of the cult, the CBA lost several members while gathering evidence and freeing prisoners.

Final death tally:

CBA: 2 wounded 6 dead

cult: 0 wounded 20 dead 15 captured

I let the newspaper drop from my hooves and smile, as I now know that I can sleep without the nightmares of the cult. I was one of the firing squad. Me, Death Gun, Kill Crazy, Steel Girder and Shining Armor were the firing squad, although they had to drag Shining off when we started firing at Twilight.

Still, at last I can sleep easy... the nightmare is over

flashback

The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop as we stood in the chamber, rifles at the ready...

5 of the prisoners had been sold to the corporation's B.O.W program to undergo mutations so brutal, even I had no idea what would happen, although one of the divison's failed experiments, a pony mutated so badly, that it was resembling no more than a huge, rotting mass of flesh, tentacles and teeth was disposed at plant epsilon, so whatever the fuck they're cooking up in there, it must be brutal, volatile and top-secret.

my train of thought is interuptedd as they bring in the cult members, leaving Rainbow Dash and Twilight for last. They were lined up against a wall and the officer, Lightning Sector shouts "FIRE!" I instantly gunned them down and kept on shooting till they are nothing but bullet-riddled corpses.

They bring in both RD and Twilight, and shining faints, kill crazy gasps and steel and death both looked stunned.

RD had bloody, crude stumps from where her wings once were, twilight was likewise, but her body showed visible signs of torture. her flank had the words 'Foal slaughterer' carved on it, her teeth had been ripped out and she showed patches where she looked like she'd been partially skinned.

I raised my rifle (more of a machine gun) and shot RD in the face, point-blank, destroying her face and most of her head as i stamped on the body and carved the symbol of the umbrella corporation on her body Then, I grab Twilight and throw away my rifle. I just start stabbing over and over then I shoot her in the head and heart.

They clean out the bodies, but I soon see shining armour breaking down in tears and having to be sedated when he saw the mess I'd made... They deserved it.
