Colgate's Practice 2: A Royal Problem

The six ponies continued navigating their way through the maze within the bunker, following Colgate so that they don't fall victim to the many security measures that existed there. Rainbow was following the rest of them in the back when Whooves had kicked up some dust. This caused Rainbow's nose to really itch. She getting ready to sneeze, "Uuuhhh."

Colgate looked back and said, "Quiet Rainbow, even the slightest bit of noise could activate one of these security measures."

"Aaa-aaa-Achoo!" Rainbow's sneeze threw her up against the wall, causing it to spin around and suddenly she was gone. Colgate smiled and thought to herself, "Excellent! One down, two to go!"

Whooves looked back and asked, "Uh Colgate, Rainbow is no longer following us. Don't you think we should go back for her?"

Colgate replied, "She has good hearing. She will be able to hear our hoofsteps. I'm not worried about her."

Colgate now knew where her first victim was trapped. She wanted to get the other two in areas pretty close to where RD is so she began navigating them to where they were basically walking around in circles. Around twenty minutes later they were back in the same hallway but were going in the opposite direction. Whooves noticed this and asked, "Colgate, are you sure you know your way around this place as good as you claim to? I think we've been this way before."

They all stopped so Colgate could think for a minute. She walked back to Amethyst and whispered, "Bump him into that wall on the left as soon as possible. He knows something is up!"

Colgate said, "Alright everypony, let's get going again, we need to go this way to get to where I want us to take Twilight."

They started walking again and within a minute Amethyst pretended to stub her hoof on something. "Ouch, I think I stubbed my hoof!"

Dr. Whooves said, "Let me take a look at that. I want to make sure you are ok."

The doctor bent down to take a look at her hoof when she suddenly kicked him into the wall. Like with Rainbow, the wall spun around and he simply disappeared. Twinkleshine screamed, "Whooves!" She ran into the wall and it spun around again, causing the two siblings to be trapped in the same room.

Sea Swirl asked, "Colgate, they've all disappeared. What do we do now?"

Colgate laughed, "Follow me and we shall see if the old torture devices still work."

Her two friends followed her to what appeared to be the end of a hallway. Amethyst asked, "Colgate, it appears as though we are at a dead end. What do we do?"

Colgate replied, "Just watch, this isn't a dead end."

Colgate looked at the wall and saw a small hole in the wall, similar to the one at the entrance. She looked back and said, "Ladies, be ready to fire. I'm sure Rainbow will want to get out."

The two weren't completely sure what their boss was talking about but prepared to fire. Since it was Colgate who opened the door to the bunker, every lock within it would only respond to her energy. She placed her horn in the hole and let forth a calm beam of energy. What looked like a wall slid open to reveal a dimly lit room. Rainbow started running towards them. "Thank you guys! Thank you for rescuing me!"

The three unicorns fired powerful bolts at the pegasus knocking her out cold. Colgate said, "Amethyst, get her chained up to that column in the center of the room. Sea Swirl, ram those hooks that come up through the floor into her hind legs while I ram those hooks hanging from the ceiling through the bases of her wings."

An hour later Rainbow came to but realized that she was restrained. She tried flapping her wings but realized they were secured by something sharp. She then tried kicking her hind legs but that only caused the hooks that were rammed through them to tear at her skin and put pressure on her bones. She was screaming, "Help, Colgate, somepony, anypony help me."

Rainbow heard a voice echoing from the shadows, "Oh good, you're awake."

Another voice said, "We thought you had died on us there for a minute."

Rainbow suddenly became paralyzed with fear. She shouted, "Amethyst, Sea Swirl? What do you mean you thought I died on you?" She yelled, "If you did this you are sick! Colgate will punish you for doing this to me!"

A third voice came from the shadows, "Oh I doubt that!"

Rainbow's jaw dropped open when she saw three unicorns come out from the shadows. She asked, "Colgate, Amethyst, Sea Swirl? If this is your idea of a joke it isn't funny!"

Colgate stood before the trapped pegasus and in a solemn voice said, "I know you still have some loyalty towards the steroid popping princess. I can sense it in your actions, your loyalty towards her radiates from you like a nasty stench radiates from a pile of shit."

Rainbow shouted, "No! I hate Twilight and you know that! You know I think she is a cheater!"

Amethyst laughed, "You know Rainbow, you aren't exactly the best liar. Your facial expression says you are loyal to her."

Rainbow screamed, "No! My facial expression is that of a pony in pain. Let me go!"

Colgate laughed, "Oh Rainbow, we haven't seen that facial expression from you, yet!"

Colgate said, "Amethyst, you see that crank over on the far wall, go to it. I'm going to this one over here. When you get there, start turning it as I turn mine."

Sea Swirl asked, "What do I do?"

Colgate laughed, "Just enjoy the show!"

The two got to their respective places and began to turn the crank, causing Rainbow's wings to spread out wide as they were beginning to be pulled away from her body. Rainbow was screaming, "What are you doing? This isn't funny!"

Colgate laughed, "Oh but it is!" as her and Amethyst continued to turn the cranks. The hooks grabbed the bases of her wingbones and began to slowly pull them outwards. As the stress of the outward pressure continued to grow, Rainbow went from screaming in pain to screaming in a violent fury. She was trying to force herself off of the column but Amethyst had done too good of a job chaining her to the column. She then started kicking her back legs thinking if she could free her hind legs from the bottom hooks, that she could maybe break free. Colgate saw this and said, "Rainbow, you are going to tear your hind legs apart doing that."

Rainbow shouted, "Buck you Colgate! I should have known better than to trust you!"

Colgate stopped turning her crank but motioned for Amethyst to continue to turn hers. The uneven pressure on Rainbow's wings were putting an even larger amount of stress on her body. Eventually the stress was so great on her right wing that it ripped it right out of it's socket, causing the whole hook to come out of her body. Colgate laughed, "So Rainbow, how are you feeling up there?"

Rainbow shouted, "How do you think I am feeling? I'm in a lot of pain!"

Colgate laughed, "Oh Rainbow, you're so funny. You haven't felt anything yet!"

Colgate unchained the pegasus and removed her hind legs from the hooks on the floor, leaving her hanging by only the hook forced under her left wing."

This increased the pressure pulling on her remaining good wing even more. She was kicking, struggling and screaming. Colgate shouted, "Stop struggling Rainbow. The more you struggle the quicker you'll rip the other wing out of it's socket."

Rainbow screamed, "I don't care. I'm getting free, going to Canterlot and turning you in!"

Just then the other wing was ripped out of it's socket. The hook came flying out of her flesh and she crashed to the ground. Because of the damage she had done to her back legs trying to kick herself free, they shattered when she landed. She screamed out in agony while the three unicorns surrounded her and laughed.

Colgate sneered, "So Rainbow, what was that you were going to do?"

Rainbow snapped, "I'll still get out of here and make sure you're punished!"

Colgate laughed, "Typical athlete, she thinks she's all that and a sack of hay but lacks the wits to think ahead."

Sea Swirl added, "Oh and how do you plan on getting out of here? You can't walk, you sure the hay can't fly and Colgate's the only one who can activate the door to get out of here."

Rainbow lunged at Amethyst and landed on top of her. She began to punch the unicorn but Amethyst is not one to panic in these types of situations. She lowered her head and rammed it upwards, causing her horn to go straight into Rainbow's shoulder. Rainbow fell forwards and was screaming in agony. Amethyst easily kicked the pegasus off of her. She stood over her body laughing. She bent down and began to lick Rainbow's wound. While Rainbow was screaming in agony the unicorn got a smile on her face. She called out to her friends, "Colgate, Sea Swirl come here. Pegasus blood is quite tasty!"

After the other two had got a taste of pegasus blood Colgate asked, "Hey ladies, do you like chicken wings?"

The other two nodded yes. Colgate continued, "Well I wonder how pegasus wings taste?"

Rainbow shouted, "No, you ripped my wings out of their sockets but you won't take them from me entirely!"

Sea Swirl kicked Rainbow onto her stomach and held her down while Colgate and Amethyst began ripping her wings out with their teeth. After roughly half an hour of Rainbow's screaming, the two unicorns had ripped the wings out entirely and were holding them in their mouths. Colgate and Amethyst spit them out and they landed right in front of Rainbow's face. Rainbow began to cry uncontrollably. Yes she was in a great amount of pain but it was seeing her wings, the instruments that made her a pegasus, laying in front of her that caused her to cry.

Colgate laughed, "So Rainbow, plan on taking part in any flying competitions anytime soon?"

Rainbow cried in agony, "Why Colgate? Why? I was on your side!"

Colgate replied, "Why? It is because you know too much, I can tell you are still a bit loyal to Twilight and I simply can not risk you telling anypony about this."

Rainbow asked, "What about your two little minions here? Are you going to kill them too?"

Colgate replied, "No, I have no plans on harming Amethyst and Sea Swirl. I know they're loyal to me."

Rainbow glared at her captors and asked, "Wait a minute, you three had this all planned out ahead of time, didn't you? This is why you had us stagger when we left, isn't it?"

Colgate kicked her and replied, "Wow, the dumb jock shows a bit of intelligence after all!"

Amethyst laughed, "If she were here the princess of steroids would be so proud!"

Rainbow shouted, "But she isn't!"

Sea Swirl kicked her in the head and laughed, "She will be soon enough, but sadly you will already be dead when that happens!"

Colgate shouted, "Look ladies, enough with the small talk, we still have two more to take care of, let's finish this!"

Rainbow shouted, "You're doing this to the doctor and Twinkleshine too?"

Colgate was levitating an axe and was ready to throw it down. Before she did she laughed, "Wow Rainbow, you've shown more intelligence today than you have in your whole life!"

Before Rainbow could say anything Colgate slammed the axe down on the back of Rainbow's neck. Much to the dismay of Sea Swirl and Amethyst, it did not severe the head. While there was blood gushing out of the wound, Rainbow still drew life. Colgate laughed, "Oh my, the axe I grabbed is dull! My bad!"

Not only did Rainbow still draw life, she was still conscious. She was crying out in agony, "Please Colgate, just let me live!"

Colgate replied, "You know what Rainbow, I will under one condition. You must survive one more strike of my axe. If you do, the three of us will heal you and even show you the way out of here. Do we have a deal?"

Rainbow knew her chances of surviving a second blow were almost zero but realized it would be better than nothing. Rainbow replied, "Alright, we have a deal."

Amethyst kicked Rainbow so she was laying on her back. Colgate laughed as she aimed the axe towards her neck. Rainbow began to scream but within seconds she would fall silent. Colgate slammed the axe down harder than before, causing her head to be severed from her body. Colgate held Rainbow's head up triumphantly and said, "Well ladies, one down, two to go."

Amethyst asked, "Colgate, the other two fell into the wall in nearly the same place. Will they be in different rooms or will they be in the same room?"

Colgate laughed and replied, "They'll be in the same room. We'll just have to decide who watches the other one die."

Colgate carried Rainbow's head with her as they exited the room. She figured that she could use it as a weapon against them, such as an instrument to hit them in the head with. If not, she figured that her and her friends could use it to entertain their next victims before they died.
