The Darkest Kind of Kindness

[approximately four days after the shutdown of Gabby Gums]

Ditzy stared blankly at the wall in front of her. Aria stirred at the back of her mind but remained relatively dormant for the time being. The mare that Aria had targeted next made no sense and it wasn’t even for a kill either. Aria wanted to talk to two local mares and heroines, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Dinky continued to stare at the stone wall in front of her contemplating the reasons for this meeting.

Aria didn’t single out ponies to talk to unless they she was going to kill them later. Something didn’t seem right about this meeting especially since they were the two mares from her nightmares. Ditzy new that there was no point in defying Aria since she would just force her to go to them anyways. Ditzy began to trace the lines that the bricks in her basement made for an undetermined amount of time while she lost herself to her thoughts.

After a few more minutes Ditzy rose up and walked deeper into the basement and went down a small corridor that led to Aria’s private study. Unlike Ditzy, Area studied books as if her life depended on it. Ditzy realized that Aria was smarter than her but the wall eyed Pegasus never understood why she studied unicorn magic so much, studying it was almost completely useless to a Pegasus.

Aria proved her wrong though when she talked about how not all magic requires a horn to be performable, but the user would need to have a substitute in order for it to work properly. Fluttershy’s stare was given as an example of manipulation magic that required direct eye contact as a consequence of not having a horn, but Ditzy mentally fell asleep halfway through Aria’s lecture on the use of magic. Ditzy wasn’t here for a magic book though, she was here for a new book that Aria had managed to acquire from a musty old shop somewhere in Canterlot.

The book itself was of no importance to the stallion and Aria, through the art of “persuasion”, managed to get him to lower the price to almost ten bits. Aria laughed at the stupidity of the stallion, but she doubted that he knew of the books importance. Aria had known that the book would be unreadable and would need a translation because it was a book that she had heard of in an old legend from the Griffon Kingdoms.

The book itself looked unassuming and its title was nothing extraordinary but Aria cherished the book as if it were one of her children. The book’s title made Aria’s body tense up as she looked at the Words on the spine “Mundi tenebras et aliis potentiis, ut possideas Consumit”. Aria had translated it along with the book and Dinky realized why she had sought it out considering that the book’s title when translated was “The Darkness that Consumes the World and Other Powers that You can Possess”. It made too much sense for Aria to read it but unfortunately Dinky also found herself wrapped up in the words that covered the old pages. Dinky looked at the old stories of how the sorcerers of the past had created dark magic to overthrow the old order and institute their own only to fail under the persecution of the old race of alicorns. The book went through a brief history of how the alicorns were destroyed in a worldwide cataclysm leaving behind very few survivors some of which are Princess Celestia and her younger brother Prince Artemis.

The book went on about how Prince Artemis who, wanted to recreate the great empire they one had, tried to get his sister to forge a new line of alicorns. The Solar Diarch refused her brothers advances and ultimately had him pegged as a future mate for Queen Umbra who was only a foal at the time. Artemis conceded to the request that his sister made and ultimately dropped the subject.

After the first two hundred years of ruling together a dark power had begun to plague the two royals and it was only a matter of time before one of them fell. Artemis was the one to ultimately be consumed by the darkness first and turned into Nightmare Nebula as a result. The wars between the Sun and the Moon raged for almost three hundred years before Celestia manage to get up the nerve to use the elements of harmony on her brother.

The elements banished Nightmare Nebula to the moon and Celestia was nearly destroyed by the elements that she wielded. Instead she was purged of any residual evil that had taken up residence within her and fainted in her garden. When she woke up she found that the elements were no longer active but had turned dormant and were impaled on an obsidian monument that looked more like a twisted tree.

Celestia then proceeded to overthrow Canterlot which was her brother’s capitol during the wars and made it into her own base of operations. Celestia never figured out where the darkness came from nor did she realize that its ambient magic had settled upon every civilization. The wellspring of all of the dark power was left unnoticed and only the most evil necromancers seek out the ley line that the well sits upon.

The dark mages weren’t dumb by any means though and didn’t try to pollute more, one was enough. If more were polluted all forms of society would disintegrate until only beings of chaos were left. The dark mages kept the rest of the ley lines protected because of this, but they still had an agenda. If everything went correctly the good reign of Celestia would eventually end and a new age of darkness would arise without destroying the world.

The well itself was a black construct that fed on the power of the ley line and was placed there by Dark mages in order to bring about eternal darkness. The well polluted the ley line and dark power replaced all the original magic that flowed there. Even if Celestia removed the capstone the ley line was never going to be pure again, it was tainted down to its very source. Celestia probably didn’t care though, even the alicorns were more prone to dark and evil thoughts with it being tainted. This lead to murder being an act as common as washing the dishes when you realize that they’ve been sitting in the sink for a week.

Celestia set up laws and an indoctrination of “Love and Kindness” as an attempt to counteract the murderous impulses of her followers, but her attempts at containing the damage didn’t work too well. After one-thousand years of ruling and murders, assassinations mostly, happening around her left and right she began to get paranoid. She started placing shield spells around her at all times and started jumping at her own shadow. The next one-thousand years caused her to sink even lower into madness and she started keeping armed battalions of no less than four hundred able bodies that were sworn to protect her nearby at all times.

Celestia even learned a spell that she used to enchant all of her guards weapons so that they would disintegrate if they tried to kill her with them. During the third millennium of her solo reign she started to give away all of the palaces food claiming that all of it had been poisoned. That started a tradition of her showing up to a random household and having dinner with the occupants after screening their entire house. She would watch the ponies prepare the food and would dine with them after it had been prepared.

The reasoning for going to other houses was to prevent one of the many chefs from sneaking something into the food when she wasn’t looking. Surprisingly the prospect of Celestia randomly showing up to have dinner lowered the crime rate by about twenty percent. The fourth millennia of Celestia’s reign saw a new wave of terror when a faction of Artemis worshippers managed to overthrow an entire city. Celestia burned the city to the ground and purged the memories of the event from all but the darkness.

The paranoia that Celestia began to feel led to her adopting an unhealthy diet of nothing but desserts as a form of comfort. Then she began to form groups of roaming guards that would apprehend any pony that was considered part of a splinter group or an avid follower of Artemis. The ponies that were captured were immediately executed without trial or interrogation. The guards were notorious for killing any bystander or foal that happened to be caught in a group.

The fifth and most recent millennium saw to the rise of Celestia almost never leaving her room. She took up students as usual but they never got to see her personally. She set up a form of parliament in order to keep ponies away from her and her power over them began to weaken as a result. She was still the head of government but her power had become limited. Even her most ‘faithful’ students began to exploit her isolation. Now the unofficial goddess of the Sun never walks outside to see it and some rumors say that she committed suicide and that the government was pretending that she was still alive. Those rumors ended when she started attending summer sun celebrations with battalions of guards that numbered near two-thousand and at least thirty high power shield spells woven around her.

That is all that the dark mages of old know about the light bearer but this much is certain: Celestia will be betrayed by a student that she had high hopes in. He will be one who befriends the nightmare on the moon and they shall plot to end the light one. When the deed is done we shall rise again and bask in the glory of a new world of darkness…however, the mages that believe in the light made a counter measure. They say that when darkness rises six ponies shall come against it and vanquish it. This power will allow its bearers to protect the world from our power and end the glory that is the darkness. Ditzy stopped reading after the prophesy part came in and looked at the map that lay before her.

Aria had the location of the well of darkness highlighted and was going to make an expedition to it until she realized that nopony ever survived getting close to the capstone that had tainted the ley line. Knowing Aria she had a plan to counteract the fatal magic levels but unfortunately only an Alicorn is able to perform the required spells to survive and Aria stopped thinking about the expedition. She never really had a plan to do anything at the line besides examine the capstone in order to figure out its secrets, but something in the back of the book had Ditzy worried, it was a spell to cause a pony to become an “Artificial” alicorn.

The spell itself was rather complicated but Aria was definitely smart enough to perform it. The only thing that made Ditzy feel safe though was that the power levels required to perform the spell could only be achieved by either an alicorn itself or a large group of unicorns. The spell granted full access to alicorn magic but unlike a real alicorn the pony that ascended was doomed to die like a regular mortal when their age caught up to them. Aria didn’t care though, all she wanted was magic and she was going to get it, no matter what the cost.

Aria wouldn’t admit it openly but she wanted to use the spell on Dinky. Ditzy asked her why she would use the spell on their daughter but Aria only laughed at her and said “Isn’t it obvious? Who wouldn’t want their child to be an Alicorn?” Ditzy figured that maybe Aria wanted to use her as a pawn to get closer to Celestia, but something didn’t quite feel right about that plan. It almost felt like Aria wanted something else, but what a psychopathic pony would want with an Alicorn for a daughter besides mass destruction was beyond Ditzy.

Aria remained silent for a moment before finally speaking again, “Do…do you think she wants to be an Alicorn?” Aria asked.

“Who doesn’t want to be an Alicorn?” Ditzy stated.

“Several ponies with a good mindset Ditzy, even I don’t want to be one.” Aria slowly stated much to the shock of Ditzy.

“But…I thought that you would love being an Alicorn, just think of all the magic you could perform in order to torture our victims.” Dinky stated much to her own shock and surprise.

“Huh…I never thought that you would want me to grasp for more power, or maybe it is you who wants the power hmmm.” Aria taunted. “It’s a real shame. To think that you really are just as bad as me if not worse.”

“Huh…What do you mean? Start talking you witch!” Ditzy screamed at Aria.

“Oh you poor darling, you truly are mad. I keep better track of Dinky and Amethyst than you do and I am the one that prepares all of our food. I am the one that goes through her journal in order to make sure that she is doing alright in school and you wish to leave her to her own devices. I stay in the back of our mind in order to protect her and how can that be achieved if you are starting to go loopy!? I care more about our daughters than you give me credit for…Do you even know where Dinky is right now!?” Aria stated coldly.

“I...I don’t know. She’s out Crusading with her friends and that’s all I know.” Dinky sobbed. “I know that she’s in good hooves though, nopony would harm her as long as the elements are around.”

“Blah, Blah, Blah…Elements this and Elements that! Those are the most worthless pieces of rock that have ever existed and their wielders can only use them if there is a national emergency. For all we know they didn’t even retrieve the elements of harmony, no pony even noticed anything that could have been them. And the entire time those ponies are out taking care of things that FAT, Manipulative, piece of crap that calls herself Celestia sits back and watches her little pets do all of her dirty work!! She doesn’t care about anything other than cakes, doughnuts, anything with frosting on it, pies, pastries, looking good in the general eye of the public, and hiding from everypony when she can!” Aria screamed while almost frothing at the mouth.

“I know that you don’t agree with…Celestia but she has done a very good job of maintaining order and keeping everypony saf…er well organized at least.” Ditzy reassured her.

“Maybe, but that still doesn’t excuse her for what she did to our second child…” Aria started to shed tears as she began thinking about what had befallen their first son.

“Aria, I’m angry about that too, but it’s time to move on. There is no way to bring him back...H—he…he died just like his father when Celestia’s guard captured them.” Dinky tried getting out while tears slowly slid down her face.

“He was just a Foal!! H—he w-wasn’t even two years old yet and h-his father was going out to get the cake for the party… Dinky was barely a month old at the time and we were setting up f-for his second birthday. Th-then they came and took them! It’s not fare!! They were innocent and Celestia murdered my husband and m-my son. I’m sorry mama wasn’t there to protect you.” Aria began to weep bitterly, “But Dinky and Amethyst will be different, and they will live and show that royal Sun butt not to mess with the Doo’s.”

Dinky couldn’t respond to Aria anymore, she too was mourning for the loss of her family. Dinky almost believed Aria was the product of the tragedy but she was there with Dinky awaiting their husband and child when the news that they had been arrested came. The charges against them were never disclosed and Aria watched as her husband was executed in front of her along with her two year old child.

Dinky and Aria never thought that Celestia was capable of such evil, but even Ditzy hated her after that day. Not only did her family die but the reasons were buried where nopony would be able to retrieve them. Aria swore that she would find the reasons behind their execution and would make Celestia go to Tartarus for it along with any other pony that happened to gain Aria’s ire.

After they had both stopped mourning they became paranoid and almost expected the royal guard to descend on them without warning for the first few years. After that they stuck to making Dinky the happiest filly alive even if her father and brother were dead. Aria made it a mission to tell Dinky and Amethyst once they were old enough to handle the truth.

“I just realized that you’re right Ditzy…We’ll become an alicorn and we will defend our daughter with our lives.” Aria stated in between her tears.

“What!! Who in their right mind would turn us into an alicorn? That kind of power would only bring us more sorrow anyways, who wants to rule next to Celestia!?” Dinky yelled, having nearly forgotten her sorrow from the shock of Aria’s decision.

“Being an alicorn—ha-ha-ha-hahahahahahhahaha!! It will get us close to Celestia!!!!!! Then once we have her Trust we can kill her!! Finally!! We’ll have vengeance for the loss of our family and that fat, pastry devouring, pig of a ruler will be gone!” Aria went into a fit of hysterical cackling at the thought of finally killing Celestia.

“…Are we alright? We shouldn’t be happy about killing Celestia, especially if we get all of her duties dumped onto us.” Ditzy stated.

“So…We’re the same now are we? I’ve never heard you use ‘We’ when referring to me before. As for the duties I have a plan that involves letting Parliament do most of the work involving creating and weeding out laws. Then I’ll just let specially selected judges take care of the court system. If you think about it Celestia is so afraid of everypony that she has nearly given up all of her political power in order to stay locked in her room.” Aria stated while smiling at her own genius.

“Uh…Then what power will you have? I know that even you would want a say in what goes on in the country.” Ditzy stated.

“Well I’ll take care of finalizing and rejecting the laws offered by the Parliament and maybe we’ll train the guard better. Her brother’s return wasn’t even impeded by her soldiers and from what Rainbow Dash has told us Dusk Shine cut a deal with him.” Aria stated.

“I…I guess it could work but wouldn’t Artemis need to be eliminated in order to gain control?”

“Ughh…I completely forgot about him. He can take over if he wishes but if he tries to do anything to me he will be the next one to die.” Aria stated.

“I guess that works but I still don’t want to be a part of an evil plot to overthrow the government.” Ditzy added nervously.

“Grow a spine darling, nopony likes a wimp unless it’s Fluttershy. Speaking of which I’ve completely forgotten why I wanted to talk to her…Oh yes it was about the prices of the Rainbow Chocolate bars in Ponyville. Charging three bits extra here is completely uncalled for. Our Daughter loves them and there is just something addictive about them. Rainbow Dash is close to her so I figured that she would be the one to negotiate.” Aria added.

“I agree that three bits extra is outrageous but can we please talk about why we need to end Celestia? Revenge is hardly a worthy cause to warrant her destruction.” Ditzy said to Aria.

“There is no need to explain why she must die other than the fact that she hurt us and countless others, the elements of harmony nearly killed her when she used them to seal away Nightmare Nebula. The fact that Celestia is crazy has never been asked because of her power. Not even the nobles bat an eyelash when the only thing that Celestia does is consume pure sugar and ignore all government affairs.” Aria stated.

“Well Celestia may not be the best pony to rule but I highly doubt that she eats raw sugar.” Ditzy laughed.

“I wouldn’t put it past her though. The nobles don’t seem to care but maybe that’s because all that sugar goes to her flank that keeps them constantly horny. If that thing gets any bigger the fat’s going to start going to other places and knowing Celestia she’s going to send it to her mammaries  before letting it go to her gut.” Aria stated in an annoyed huff.

“Huh I never pegged Celsetia as the Lust ridden type. I always thought that her gluttony was more out of stress.” Ditzy added.

“Hah! I’ve met Celestia personally and I’m guessing you were taking a nap in our head during the encounter. She couldn’t have been less energetic and happy, but maybe that was the sugar high that she was undoubtedly having. But she did like getting the attention from every stallion there and she almost banged one of them in public. Although we were next to a brothel house that screens all of its customers and I was so drunk that I could have mistaken Fluer de Lis for Celestia. Oh! That’s right, that wasn’t Celestia it was actually Fluer. I remember Elusive inviting Rainbow Dash and we went and met Fancy Pants at the brothel house.” Aria added.

“Well… I’m almost glad that I don’t remember that event then, but surely Celestia will stop eating so much when her belly starts showing fat.” Ditzy stated.

“I doubt it, she’ll just burn it away with her magic…or fire.”

“Pbbb…ha-ha-ha. I guess you’re right. Uh but by that time her boobs will be so large that even Milky Way will be small in comparison.” Dinky laughed.

“Everypony is small when compared to Celestia. Not even her brother can compete with her. Her flank takes up so much room that I heard that if she flies in front the Sun an eclipse happens.” Aria laughed.

“*sigh* I haven’t laughed like this since our husband died. To think that we might actually start to become friends because of Celestia.” Ditzy stated.

“So…Partners?” Aria asked.

“No!!” Ditzy screamed.

“I swear on my life and yours that no harm will come to, our daughter.” Aria added.

“The day I make a deal with you is the day that I grow a horn and become possessed by the nightmare force” Ditzy stated.

(_o_==============================================_o_)

Dinky ran around the town completely unaware of her mother’s sorrow for lost loved ones or the events that had led to her misery. All the little filly wanted to do now was play while she thought of a way to end Feather Weight. The little troll had taken several pictures of the Crusaders and their “secret” activities. Skedaddle was tasked with finding the colt and bringing him in before he revealed their murders to the entire town and Celestia by extension.

Dinky wasn’t familiar with politics but she knew that after Prince Artemis had betrayed his sister over a thousand years ago the Princess of the Sun became a tyrant. Her laws were made inflexible and she was known for finding and interrogating ponies that she deemed “suspicious”. Dinky knew that if Celestia ever found out about their murderous tendencies then all of the Crusaders would be executed in front of a live audience in Canterlot. After Prance had a revolution Princess Celestia became fond of using the Guillotine as the primary form of execution after seeing a live demonstration of the device. Dinky swore the princess was infatuated with the device considering it was now her only form of execution. Maybe Celestia got a kick out of seeing blood spray everywhere but Dinky had more important matters to attend to than Celstia’s unnatural life.

Dinky may have gotten used to the idea of killing in cold blood, but she wasn’t keen on having a forty pound weighted blade coming down on her exposed neck. Which is why Feather Weight was either going to comply or die as a result of his snooping in business that he didn’t need to know about. Dinky swore that he was a pervert and had gotten several shots of her and her friend’s marehoods but they never found any evidence, other than his embarrassed smile when asked.

Personally Dinky almost thought he was cute, but he was way too thin for her taste. Apple Bloom thought he was creepy and she also believed that he looked a little too much like Slender Mane from all of the scary movies that her family watches. To be honest he did look like all of his limbs were unnaturally stretched and he was probably fifty pounds underweight but it was his grave not hers.

Dinky wasn’t of the age to really start liking boys yet but she did find that a local boy in town named Button Mash was rather cute.  She could almost picture the two of them being together one day. That was if Sweetie Belle didn’t claim him first. She may not like to admit it but Dinky noticed the look in Sweetie Belle’s eyes when they met him for the first time. It was a dreamy look as if she had just found her dream stallion and it was creepily similar to the one Barb gave Elusive whenever they were near each other.

Dinky continued her search for supplies that were going to be used to Kill Feather Weight if he refused. In fact they were probably going to kill him anyways unless Sweetie Belle decides to wipe his memory with a spell her brother, Elusive, taught her. Dinky secretly wanted to let him go, after all if too many students started disappearing somepony was bound to get suspicious.

After all of the supplies were collected she went back to the clubhouse to prepare it for Feather Weight’s arrival. After the secret compartment in the clubhouse was opened she walked inside and spilled the contents of her saddle bag on the floor. The contents that fell out of the bag included two rolls of duct tape, a soldering iron, a rusty spoon from the junkyard, a bottle of lemon juice, a rolling pin, and the plastic bag that they were placed in at the store. After waiting for two hours and talking about their hero of the night Artemis the door to the clubhouse burst open. Skedaddle walked inside with a bound and gagged Feather Weight on his back.

“Finally we can get to the good part!” Dinky stated

“Well ah’ve been a thinkin’ and ah’ve got the perfect idea for the pervert that Skedaddle has on his back.” Apple Bloom stated.

“Really what is it?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“We give him to ma big sisters and they will make him wish he was never born.” The apple filly stated.

“Aaaw” All of the other fillies cried out including their newest friend Silver Spoon.

Much to the surprise of the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders Silver Spoon wasn’t that bad without Diamond Tiara around. In fact she had managed to become one of their best friends and joined the Crusaders as a willing member. The Spoon fill, like most ponies, currently had a blood lust that couldn’t be sated and Diamond Tiara was the main reason for hers. After the death of Diamond Tiara she began to realize that blood spraying all over her was an exhilarating experience and that she really hated Diamond Tiara. Her parents didn’t know about her club dealings of course. How would she explain any of it to them? She couldn’t just waltz up to her mother and say, “Hi mom! I just realized that I like to commit murder and am probably a psychopath.” It just wasn’t going to end well.

Needless to say she was also disappointed that she wouldn’t get to kill Feather Weight either.

“Now they will take care of everything and even make it look like an accident that involved a timber wolf.” Apple Bloom explained, “And trust me when he dies he will be begging for mercy.”

(_o_==============================================_o_)

[Warning: This next part contains brutally disturbing murder read at your own risk otherwise skip to the next section if there isn’t a warning for that one.]

Feather Weight never reached Apple Jack he was horribly dismembered and maimed by all of those present at the clubhouse instead. He was strapped to a small table and skedaddle began with using a stainless steel cutting knife to hack off his wings. Sweetie Belle was busy readying the soldering iron and Silver Spoon was sharpening the rest of the weapons that were to be used.

When Feather Weights wings came off Skedaddle grabbed the bottle of lemon juice and rubbed some into the wound. The colt convulsed and writhed in pain but his bindings held fast. Skedaddle circled the colt and waited for his friends to start with their work. Silver Spoon was the first to step up and used the rusty spoon to dig into Feather Weights left eye socket. The orb popped out of its socket and dangled on the optic nerve before it was ripped off.

Sweetie Belle, who was the cruelest, took the soldering iron and stabbed Feather Weight in the left eye with it and held it there. The intense heat from the device quickly burst the blood vessels in the eye and burnt the orb to a char. Feather Weight was probably crying in agony through his gag but any possibility of tears was taken away by using the soldering iron to burn his tear ducts to ash.

Sweetie Belle stepped back to let Apple Bloom get to work. The Apple filly took out one of her favorite hack saws and placed right on top of Feather Weights muzzle. Then she pushed down hard and began sawing back and forth splattering blood and bone all over her coat until the top part of his mouth fell off. The sound that Escaped Feather Weight when his captors took off the top part of his muzzle was a mix between a howl and a sick gurgling sound.

Apple Bloom started working on removing his lower jaw while Skedaddle and Silver Spoon carefully used a scalpel and a knife to open up his throat and cut out his vocal chords. As soon as his vocal chords were cut all forms of howling stopped and all that was left was that gurgling noise. Skedaddle took Sweetie Belle’s soldering iron and cauterized any open blood vessels to keep Feather Weight alive as long as possible.

Sweetie Belle walked over to the tray that had the vocal chords on it and placed the pieces of flesh in Feather Weights throat right when his lower jaw was taken off. The piece of meat went down with a slight choking sound but the real fun was only starting. Sweetie Belle knew from Jubilee’s class that during the war between Celestia and her brother that the Sun never rose and ponies became omnivores in order to survive. This trait became engrained as a genetic advantage and protein from the meat became an important part of brain functions.

Sweetie Belle didn’t really care about why ponies ate meat all that she cared about was why pony flesh was the tastiest. After her parents decided that her brother Elusive was a good enough caretaker while they were out doing business Sweetie Belle quickly found out that she liked pony flesh. Of course at the time neither she nor her parents knew that Elusive was a cannibal. After a year of staying at Elusive’s she was let in on the secret that her favorite steak was actually pony flesh. She cried for almost a week after that, but Elusive failed to mention that eating the flesh of your own species is addictive.

After being raised under Elusive’s poor mentality and her addiction Sweetie Belle began to look at other ponies as nothing more than cattle ripe for the slaughter. After a week she began to realize that the undertones of a pony’s flavor was different based on their cutie-mark: weather ponies generally tasted like chicken or something tangy while bakers had a range from nice toasts to dough to pastries. Right now Feather Weight was looking like a rather tasty chicken dinner with a small side of gravy to her.

The colt tensed up as Sweetie Belle’s hot breath hit one of his hind legs. Feather Weight almost hoped that Sweetie Belle was going to do something sensual, but all hopes of that were dashed when she took a big bite out of his leg instead. The gurgling noise came back and Sweetie Belle licked her lips while admiring the flavor that was Feather Weight. She continued feasting on his leg until it was nothing but a group of bones and then she broke it off and flung it out of the way as she prepared to eat his other leg.

All of the other ponies in the room just watched as Sweetie Belle polished off all four of his legs and broke them off after finishing them. Sweetie Belle wasn’t satisfied though. Feather Weight, as tasty as he was, didn’t have enough flesh on his four legs combined to amount to anything more than an appetizer. Sweetie Belle pulled out a large carving knife and split Feather Weight up the middle breathing in the rancid odor of his insides. Her feast started with his liver and she slowly worked her way to his kidneys.

The other ponies knew that they weren’t going to be able to do anything else so Skedaddle took out his knife and dug it into Feather Weights left ear and twisted it. After the pony scooped out what he could he did the same to the other ear. Now Feather Weight was completely in the dark, he was blind, limbless, mute, and deaf. The only thing that was left for him to perceive was pain.

Sweetie Belle didn’t spare him in her feasting. He could feel every rip, tear, and bite that she made. She even chewed on him before tearing out a chunk to increase his misery. After what felt like an eternity Sweetie Belle finally stopped eating. All that was left was to pry open his rib cage and finish the job. He always wanted to ask one of the Crusaders out on a date but wound up being more of a stalker instead, now any feelings he had for them was replaced with a very strange feeling of emptiness. He felt emotionally and physically empty and now he knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was not going to be going to school tomorrow. He would have smirked if he could, “I’m going to die and all I can think about is not going to school, at least this has some sort of bright side.” He thought. His musings were cut short when Dinky finally started taking a role and poured lemon juice on every possible opening.

Apple Bloom and Dinky took a crowbar and bashed his ribs apart while Skedaddle and Silver Spoon used the soldering iron and a knife to neuter him. The shards of bone that were once his rids were pushed away revealing his heart and lungs. Sweetie slowly poured water over Feather Weights face while the rest set up an electric shock device that was attached to his heart. The shock device wasn’t too painful but it did cause his heart to beat irregularly and the water on his face made it feel like he was drowning. After five brutal hours of this kind of torture they punctured his lungs causing him to gasp as his body finally died. After Feather Weight died Sweetie Belle finished of his heart and lungs and all of the ponies involved were washed of any evidence of their act.

[Warning: This next part contains murder and consensual sex along with brainwashed sex. Read at your own risk otherwise skip to the next section.]

Apple Bloom Walked home after the death of Feather Weight and went straight to bed. She hated pointless killing and tried to get targets taken out by her sisters instead. Sure they were a little grumpy sometimes and Granny Smith would pester her about getting a colt friend even though her body was still too young to be able to reproduce yet. Apple Bloom like all of the other fillies in Jubilee’s class was only six years old. It still didn’t stop Granny from trying to get her to lay down with a stallion though.

Apple Jack walked through the fields with her latest lover, a stallion named Cherry Jam. Apple Jack really didn’t like him but she let him marry her anyways, it wasn’t like he was going to survive the night. Apple Jack, like every other pony in her family, was a black widow (Somepony who murders their spouse for money). Her family’s methods of murder was rather unpleasant for their victims but was still pretty fun for them.

Cherry Jam was completely love-struck though, and Apple Jack was his mare. He was admittedly lucky to find a wife like Apple Jack. She was kind, worked hard, was absolutely beautiful, and was willing to look past his obsession with large vats of jam. He wasn’t that bad looking his coat was a rich chocolate color and his mane was alight yellow. Most ponies in town recognized him as that one stallion who is related to the Jelly Pony. He didn’t mind the attention his brother got, it kept him out of the spotlight.

Apple Jack led him into the house and down below the basement to where she said her room was. The room down there had another door beyond the entrance that led to a whole cave system that was used to dispose of the dead bodies. The room was covered in a fine bed of hay and there were glowing crystals in the ceiling that set the mood. Cherry Jam was obviously wanting to claim his new wife and Apple Jack had the room built for that purpose.

On the way down to the room though Cherry Jam had started talking about his life and how Apple Jack’s personality had been what he had fallen in love with. Sure she was attractive, everypony in Ponyville could agree on that, but that wasn’t what built a relationship that was made to last. Cherry Jam was tired of getting dumped and let down and Apple Jack was willing to actually live with him.

Apple Jack listened to her husband talk and started to feel almost happy. Nopony in town ever wanted her for who she was, they only wanted her body. Apple Jack shook her head to clear her thoughts, there was no way that she could be falling for him. He was nothing more than a mate that her sister would kill later. Still, he was rather attractive and had a nice personality that Apple Jack could get behind.

Apple Jack began to wonder why she was so, happy? Did he really make her feel happy? Apple Jack thought about it and pushed it out of her mind, she had a night of pleasure ahead of her. That only caused her to think about the other times she had sex, sure they were fun, but they always left her feeling empty later.

“Maybe one of these days I’ll find my special sompony.” The orange mare thought.

When the actual door to the room came into view the duo was roughly two-hundred feet below the surface. The door swung open rather easily allowing a view of the room. Cherry Jam looked at it in confusion but Apple Jack just walked in and plopped herself down in the hay.

“So how do ya want me sugarcube?” Apple Jack asked with a sultry grin.

“What do you mean honey?” Cherry Jam asked with a confused look on his face.

“Well ah know that ya like me for who ah am but ah can change ma appearance.” Apple Jack said while taking off her hat to reveal a horn that wasn’t there a minute ago.

“H-wh-why didn’t I notice that you were a unicorn?” Cherry Jam asked.

“Like ah said. Ah can change ma appearance and ya never asked if ah was one.” Apple Jack said with a sultry smile, “Now how do you want me to look hun?”

“Well I always did like the way that Milky Way mare was built.” Cherry Jam said while his face started to turn a shade of red that should be found on a beat and not a pony’s face.

“Ooh. So ya like big tits huh? Well ah’ll give it a shot sugar cube.”

Apple Jack fired up her horn and began pouring energy into her mammaries. Each small mound swelled causing the skin on them to stretch while her nipples increased in size with them. Apple Jack let out a low moan of pleasure as the two glands began to push against her legs and each other. She instinctively squeezed her hind legs together sending a shockwave of pleasure up her spine.

Apple Jack then weaved a lactation spell into the mix causing her mounds to swell in size even faster and forcing her legs to spread farther apart as a result. She kept the spell active and cut it off when her breasts reached the size of two cantaloupes. The pink nipples on each melon perked up as the pent up milk began to dribble from them causing Apple Jack to look at her handiwork. She looked over at her new husband and noticed that he liked what he saw.

“Well ya did say ya liked Milky Way so ah threw in lactation as well. Now let’s get started. Ya have some fertilizing to do.” Apple Jack said in a tone that was dripping with lust.

“I didn’t expect you to shoot for a child right away but I don’t mind one bit.” Cherry Jam said while walking over to her.

Cherry Jam looked at his wife and pushed her onto her back and lined himself up with her enlarged tits. He shoved his throbbing cock between them allowing all eighteen inches to squeeze past them. The feeling of it was like having his cock hugged by squishy, warm, and silky goodness. He began to slowly piston his thighs causing Apple Jack to moan and convulse in pleasure. Globs of precum were spurting out of the tip of his member giving Apple Jack a preliminary taste.

“Well ya sure do taste good sugar.” Apple Jack moaned.

“Thanks, I guess.”

Apple Jack licked the remaining globs off of her face and began squeezing her hind legs together. The motions of Apple Jacks jiggling breasts sent Cherry Jam into a fit of rapid thrusts fueled by the pleasure. More precum squirted from the member as he began to approach his orgasm while Apple Jack eagerly lapped up the fluids that landed on her. Apple Jack squeezed her legs even tighter as her first orgasm racked through her body sending splashes of cum onto Cherry Jams heavy balls while her breasts painted his belly with a thick layer of cream.

Cherry Jams cock throbbed with every pass through the valley that Apple Jack’s boobs made and he began to feel the slow buildup of an orgasm coming on. Apple Jack lay underneath him convulsing and squealing in pleasure as her second orgasm hit. After a few more passes his throbbing member began to feel close to release. He sped up his actions trying to get off as quickly as possible. Apple Jack noticed this and squeezed her legs tight preventing him from moving too fast.

“Now hun. Ah know that you want to get off but ah want to feel this pleasure for as long as ah can. Now take it slow ya hear?” Apple Jack said in between pants and moans.

Apple Jack eased up and let Cherry Jam continue to slowly build up his orgasm again while she came a third time. Apple Jack began to eagerly slurp at the tip of his cock when the precum began to ooze out of it at a decent rate. Chery Jam was in heaven while his cock felt every throb and movement of the lubricated breasts it was sandwiched in. Apple Jacks teasing tongue tickled the glans of his member whenever it got close enough to her mouth. Apple Jacks fourth orgasm came and her fifth and sixth ones were almost immediately after.

Apple Jack lay there in a goofy daze squeezing her tits against Cherry Jams shaft trying to squeeze out as much pleasure as she could before he came. After her seventh orgasm Apple Jack began to squeeze and wriigle her back legs causing the shockwaves of pleasure to build up faster causing her eigth and ninth orgasm to come and go while her tenth was taking longer.

The Apple Mare began to ben d forward and wrapped her hooves around her husband’s cock while bringing her mouth to it. She swirled her tongue around the shaft and began to suckle on its head while keeping up her boob job on the lower part of the shaft. Cherry Jam was trying to fight the upcoming flood from Apple Jacks constant teasing but he could feel his climax coming on.

“I-I’m cuming!” Cherry Jam shouted.

Finally Cherry Jam released the built up tension as salvo after salvo of hot, sticky seed coated his wife. Apple Jack eagerly tried to drink as much of it as possible but failed after her fifth mouthful. When Cherry Jam’s climax finally began to die down Apple Jack’s face and mane were completely covered and the rest of her body was dripping with cum. Cherry Jam was relieved now that he had climaxed and Apple Jack looked hornier than before.

“Whoa nelly, sugar cube. I didn’t know that ya had that much in ya.” Apple Jack said while sticking out her tongue, “Now let’s get down to business and put a few buns in the oven hon. But first how about I give ya a little snack to help replenish what ya lost.”

Apple Jack grabbed Cherry Jams head and forced his head to get close to one of her massive mammaries and looked at him expectantly. He obliged her and began to suckle the teat drinking the rich cream that flowed from her. Apple Jack cooed in delight at the sensation of being milked. After that teat was emptied Cherry Jam was allowed to pull his face away only to have his head brought to the other one.

“Now drink up hon. I don’t want you getting’ dehydrated.” Apple Jack said.

Cherry Jam complied and began to drain the other one when Apple jack fired up her horn again. Cherry Jam didn’t notice it at first but he began to feel a tingling sensation in his hindquarters, his balls to be more specific. After he finished drinking he noticed the rather lewd smile on his wife’s face.

“What did you do?”

“Ah just gave you an upgrade is all.” The Apple Mare said with a look of sheer delight.

Cherry Jam looked between his legs to see what she did and his jaw dropped when he noticed the two grapefruit sized gonads that were attached to him. He looked back at his wife who was now eagerly presenting her hindquarters to him.

“Come on stud, make ma feel like a real mare.”

Cherry Jam eagerly accepted the offer and plunged his shaft into her steamy depths. He quickly hilted himself inside and began thrusting while the moist walls clenched around his shaft. Apple Jack wanted a bigger stallion though and began weaving a spell that caused her husband’s shaft to slowly enlarge. After a few minutes Apple Jack came an eleventh time and she began to feel her husband’s cock pushing against the entrance to her womb. Apple Jack fired up the spell again and accidentally put too much juice into it causing her husband’s shaft to penetrate her womb and hit the other side.

Cherry Jam was moaning in pleasure at the newfound tightness of Apple Jack’s pussy, completely unaware of the spell on him. Cherry jam groaned when he felt his shaft push past some internal barrier and hit a fleshy wall. The stallion kept going feeling the tight squeezing that Apple jack’s womb and vagina were giving.

Apple Jack was in utter bliss now and all she could feel was pleasure as orgasm after orgasm wracked her body. Her massive tits slapped against her husband’s enlarged testicles causing milk to splatter on the hay underneath them. Her body clenched feeling her twentieth orgasm coming on as her husband fully hilted himself and began to unload his pent up seed directly into Apple Jack’s womb.

Cherry Jam came the hardest he had ever in his life pumping rope after rope of thick gooey cream into the depths of his wife. Her womb was quickly filled to the brim with his massive load causing the rest of his seed to splash out onto the hay that surrounded them. Apple Jack’s body swelled with each rope of cum quickly making her look like she was pregnant with octuplets.

Apple Jack let her disguise down after being filled to the brim and pulled herself off of her mate. Where solid hooves once were whole ridden ones were now in their place and wings formed on her back. The wings were a light orange and bug-like. Her wings and hair were also riddled with holes, it was almost as if a bunch of moths though that she looked like a tasty snack. The most notable change however was her eyes, her once normal eyes were now replaced with serpentine ones, the sign of a royal changeling. Cherry Jam looked at his wife’s transformation and began to wimper.

“What have you done with my wife!” Cherry Jam yelled.

Apple Jack felt hurt by her husband’s accusation and realized that maybe he was more to her than just a sextoy. She hadn’t loved him at the alter nor did she love him when they were coming home, what changed. She couldn’t understand it, but maybe she didn’t want to understand it. She was married to a stallion that actually cared about her for once and not his own life or personal gain. She smiled for the first time in what felt like years out of true joy. Maybe my special somepony was here all along.

“Ah aint done nothin’ to yer wife honey. Ah am Queen Apple Jack and ah am the mare that ya fell in love with. Apple Jack the pony never existed. Ah was born a changeling and ah tend to the family farm with ma sister. Queen Granny Smith gave birth to ma mother and ma mother raised three queens. Now how about ya look past the exterior and look at the mare whose personality and charm ya fell in love with. Ah…w-well ah love you and ah don’t want me being a changeling to come between us.” Apple Jack said in a pleading tone.

“Well I guess you don’t look that bad, I mean you are still beautiful. You’re just taller and have more chitin than what I’m used to. If you truly are the same mare, then I can look past the species barrier.”

“Ah knew ya would come around. Now since yer such a good breeder ah’ll put ya in a conversion pod and have ya turned into one of my consorts. The bad breeders that ah bring home are killed after a mating session by ma sister Queen Macarena, but she just goes by Macy or Queen Macy. She was watching us the whole time through an enchanted crystal. With how well you did tonight she might even try and take you for herself if it wasn’t against the hive rules to steel another Queen’s consort.”

“Wait so she was going to kill me if I didn’t please you?”

“Well when ya put it that way it sounds horrible. Most changelings aren’t evil and most Queens let their drones have specialized jobs along their own personality and individuality within the hive mind. Unfortunately ma granny and parents weren’t most changelings. So ah only let ma consorts have a personality and ah let the bad breeder’s die so that ma family doesn’t convert me into a consort or drone.” Apple Jack said sadly. “Now it’s all just part of the routine and ah don’t think about it anymore. Ah lost my soul when ma parents forced me into this and now ah don’t think ah can go back. Ah just hope Apple Bloom won’t turn out like me.”

“I’m sure your sister will turn out just fine and I’m sure that you aren’t evil. You are just forced to make bad choices.”

“She’s not ma sister.”

“Of course Apple Bloom is your sister. Macarena-er Macy told me that she was. Apple Bloom doesn’t deny it either and you said that you had two sisters.”

“Apple Bloom was taught that ah was her sister and Macarena tells the lie. Ma other sister is down in the great underground Apple Colony that this tunnel connects ta. The truth is Apple Bloom isn’t ma sister…she’s ma daughter.”

[Meanwhile in Macy’s chambers]

The red changeling queen came as her brainwashed sextoy that she brought home finally managed to fertilize enough of her eggs. Macereina let him finish and pulled his seventeen inch rod out of her and faced her slave. The stallion was worthless to the queen. He barely produced enough cum to fertilize twelve eggs and he wasn’t that good looking either. She let her ovipositor extend out to its full size readying it for laying her eggs. The ovipositor looked like a rather large and pointed cock and it was slightly transparent allowing a view of the egg canal. The glistening phallus like object captivated her victim and the slave began to try and suckle on it.

Macy wouldn’t have it though and picked up her slave and pointed her thirty-six inch rod at his anus. Macy let the pointed tip slowly enter the clenching walls of the stallion’s back door before pushing it in further. Macy groaned in pleasure as her ovipositor continued to go deeper into the stallion.

The slave was probably feeling pain but was too out of it to register it. The only thing he could feel was something very big penetrating his rear end. Macy wasn’t kind though and her shaft quickly pierced through the intestinal walls of her slave at the first bend. She continues to ram it in further causing blood to splatter all over her chitin. Macy grinned and kept pushing until the tip of her massive rod was visible in his mouth.

Macy rocked her hips causing her shaft to tingle in pleasure at it was rubbed. She continued to piton her hips forcing an organ within her victim to be ripped apart. The tip of her shaft continued to pierce the roof of her victim’s mouth causing blood to drip from him. Macy felt the eggs coming and slammed her shaft all the way in piercing through her victim’s skull and reducing his brain to mush as her shaft broke through the other end.

The stallion let out a wet gurgle before the life completely faded away in him which only mad Macereina smirk. She pulled her shaft out of his skull and deposited her clutch in his abdominal region and dragged the body to a room with more eviscerated bodies that had her hatchlings were feeding on. The queen smiled before leaving her children to their nymph-hood. She passed through the many great tunnels that made up the Apple family underground and sat down in her room feeling satisfied with a good day’s work behind her.

[“Oh my gosh it’s all of you again! Hooray! I thought this chapter was never going to end. With all of this back story to Celestia and Artemis. Aria actually being a not so mean meany pants with a lot of dialogue and exposition. The murder of Feather Weight and a clop section that showed up out of nowhere with Apple Jack. I mean there is only so much a chapter can have packed into right? I mean I love long chapters but sometimes they get too long and then I have to go pee and I forget my place and then I have to go look through the whole chapter to find my place.”]

“Pinkie!”

[“Yes Pinkamena?”]

“You’re boring the Audience!”

[“What! Boring! Me. There is no way that I’m boring. My parties are so much fun! I even get to roam about later in the story and…”]

“Wait!! Did you say that you get to run around later? That wasn’t supposed to happen!”

[“Well the author taught me this really neat trick on how to get out and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner! I mean it was so simple that I completely forgot!”]

Suddenly the empty void that they were in changed to a game show that looked like a version of Wheel of Fortune without the wheel. Pinkie was behind a podium with a suit on and she was holding a rather large stack of cards. Pinkamena was standing behind a podium herself but instead of the host she was a contestant.

[“All I had to do was think the prison away! Now Pinkamena, why was Skedaddle sad about not cutting off Feather Weight’s ears?”]

“Can I buy a vowel?”

[“Ooh, I’m sorry the correct answer is because he just couldn’t cut it. Better luck next time.”]

“Kill me now.”
