Thanks to Rainbow Dash, the Elements of Harmony are dead. A disease, deadly enough to kill a pony in a few days, is spreading through Canterlot. And the town believes she's the hero.

The Elements of Harmony, aside from Loyalty, are dead. They died BECAUSE of Loyalty. Rainbow Dash killed them over a disease. And now, she wants to kill all of Canterlot with the disease. But…nopony else knows. They think Twilight started it. It wasn't hard for Rainbow to convince them of that. To Canterlot, she's a hero.

In a way, she is.

Clock Is Ticking II: The Iron Pony

CLOCK IS TICKING II: THE IRON PONY

“Attention, Canterlot!” Everypony looked up at Celestia, who was standing on her tower’s balcony. “It has come to my attention that a highly lethal disease has contaminated the blood bank!” Ponies began to panic in the ground.

“Who the hell DID this to us?” a stallion yelled from the ground.

“Please,” said Celestia, “calm down! My source tells me that Twilight Sparkle was the one who picked up the disease in the Everfree and then proceeded to give blood. She attempted to stop Twilight, but it was too late. Twilight’s body was found in the lower prison of our castle. Luckily, my source is here, and knows how we can stop this! If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t even know it was happening. Please allow her to speak.”

A cyan pegasus walked up to the edge of the balcony, next to Celestia. The mare’s rainbow mane was slightly off colored, and her face appeared to be peeling slightly. “So,” said Rainbow Dash, yelling to the crowd, “who’s ready to survive this?”

Ponies began cheering, making Rainbow Dash grin. If only they knew, she thought to herself. “Now,” she said, “Twilight Sparkle was a traitor. We can all see that now. The sixth Element of Harmony is dead. That means the Elements of Harmony will be useless. We need a new pony with as much magical potential as Twilight to wield it. This is why we will be holding trials. Anypony who thinks they’ve got what it takes, speak to Princess Luna. Thank you for your time.”

The town gave Rainbow Dash applause, screaming and cheering her name. They were excited to find out who the new Element would be, and, of course, to survive the next day.

Rainbow Dash left the balcony. What a bunch of morons, she thought to herself as she attempted to contain giggles, soon Canterlot will be mine.

***

Celestia walked down the hall leading to the library archives. Something didn’t seem right, and she was going to research it. She just couldn’t believe Twilight of all ponies would do such a thing. She turned around the corner and entered the large room, instantly running to a nearby bookshelf.

Removing the third book on the top shelf revealed a hidden staircase on the ground. After checking to make sure no one was looking, Celestia trotted down the stairs.

        Inside the underground room was another bookshelf. Just one. Celestia had placed records of major criminals down here, in case she ever needed them. Now, she would use them to figure out patterns, to see if Twilight did anything similar to past criminals.

        Celestia picked a book off the shelf. It was the most recent records. She found a spot to sit down and began reading the book. Silence filled the room.

        But only for a few seconds.

        A small, muffled whimper came from somewhere in the room. Celestia perked up. “Hello?” She called out. Another whimper.

        Celestia knew somepony was there. Leaning against the wall, she began walking toward the sound. Once she found the spot where it was loudest, she blasted a hole in the wall.

        The Princess felt nothing but shock as she looked upon the tied and gagged Rainbow Dash. The pegasus continued her muffled screams, alerting Celestia once again. She removed the gag from Rainbow’s mouth.

        Gasping for breath, Rainbow immediately started talking. “Listen,” she said, panting, “Chrysalis! She’s… she’s here, somewhere! After the town! She found a virus! She killed Zecora, she was the only one with the cure! And… and she’s going to use it on Twilight! It spreads through the air, with contact and through bodily fluids, there’s no way around it!”

        Rainbow Dash continued to pant as Celestia just stared with her jaw dropped. “Rainbow Dash,” she said, “Twilight is… already…”

        Rainbow’s eyes softened. She closed them tightly, a tear rolling over her cheek and onto the ground. “Untie me,” she said, “UNTIE ME! I’LL KILL THAT BITCH!”

        Celestia used a spell to make all of the rope binding Rainbow’s limbs vanish. The mare stood up and shoved Celestia out of the way. “Sorry Princess,” she yelled as she ran up the stairs, “but I have a murder to commit!” Celestia didn’t bother stopping her. It was up to Rainbow to save the town.

***

        Chrysalis closed the door to her guest room. She was staying at Celestia’s castle, disguised as a pony known as Rainbow Dash. Chrysalis was laughing hysterically. “I can’t believe that old hag gave me a guest room in her own castle! What an imbecile!”

        Chrysalis’ plan would be complete in only five minutes. That’s how long it would take for her army of Changelings to bring her the Elements of Harmony. It was incredibly easy the way she did this. One by one for the past two years, she would kill one Royal Guard member and replace them with a Changeling. Now, the entire guard was composed of just Changelings. Nopony stood a chance.

        She laughed again at the thought of enslaving Equestria, and publicly killing Celestia in front of them all! This day would be perfect, unlike the last screw-up.

        Giggling, Chrysalis morphed back into her original form. That blue pegasus form was, in her opinion, extremely inferior to her true look. Inferior as she may have been, she apparently was able to escape, as Chrysalis’ door was knocked down by an enraged blue pegasus.

        “So,” laughed Chrysalis, “you escaped? How cute!” Chrysalis lit up her horn, making a green barrier appear between herself and Rainbow Dash. The second door to the room, located behind Chrysalis, opened, and two Royal Guard members came trotting up. “Can’t you see I’m busy?” snapped Chrysalis. One of the guards dropped a crystal ball on the ground, shattering it. Inside were the Elements of Harmony.

        “No,” screamed Dash, “you BITCH!”

        “Look who’s calling who a bitch,” snarled Chrysalis, “all you do is get in the way.” Chrysalis dropped the barrier, which was reestablished by the two fake guards. She walked over to the Element of Magic, and lit up her horn. It levitated into the air. “Aw, poor Twilight,” she giggled, “it’s a shame she died the way she did!”

        “YOU’RE GOING TO FUCKING PAY!”

        “Will I, now? I barely did a thing. I even cut up the body and burned it when I was done. You should’ve seen the way her flesh burned, it was hilarious-”

        “ENOUGH!”

        Rainbow Dash bucked the barrier, making it flicker a bit. She grinned, and then continued to buck the barrier.

        “Fine,” said Chrysalis, “you asked for it.” The Changeling Queen laughed as she casted a spell on the floating Element. Instantly, it turned to ashes and floated to the ground.

        Rainbow Dash only started to buck harder. Chrysalis began acting more quickly, burning both the Element of Laughter and Generosity at the same time. Rainbow was able to make the barrier disappear for a second. She kept bucking harder and faster.

        “Don’t let her through,” snarled Chrysalis. She was feeding off of her hatred, and it was giving her extreme powers. Chrysalis had never had this much hate in an entire town, let alone one pegasus. She broke the Elements of Kindness and Honesty, leaving only Dash’s Element left.

        Finally, Rainbow broke through and charged Chrysalis. The Queen simply used her magic to teleport out of Dash’s view.

        “What the hell?”

        Chrysalis took grabbed the back of Dash’s head and slammed it onto the ground. Picking up the body, Chrysalis turned to the other Changelings. “I was going to execute Celestia in public, but I have a much better idea.” Chrysalis used her magic to turn the last Element to ash.

        Chrysalis created a jar out of thin air and put the ashes from the Elements in it. Giggling, Chrysalis carried the unconscious corpse to the balcony of Celestia’s watch tower.

***

        Chrysalis was almost all set up, and nopony tried to stop her yet. On the balcony, the Changelings had tied Dash to a chair and placed a ring gag in her mouth, preventing her from closing her jaw or speaking. She was now conscious, and drool was dripping out onto the ground just about everywhere.

        Chrysalis had the jar of ashes next to Dash on a small table. There were also several different objects on that table that Chrysalis intended to use to humiliate her even more. A Changeling fluttered over to Chrysalis. “We’re all ready,” he said. Chrysalis nodded, and the Changeling flew off.

        After counting to three, the evil queen used a summoning spell. Everypony in Canterlot was suddenly warped to Celestia’s balcony, except, of course, Celestia. Ponies panicked when they saw what was happening on the balcony, but Chrysalis also used a barrier spell around the area so ponies couldn’t get in or out. Celestia herself couldn’t get through the barrier.

        Before saying anything, the Changeling scanned the crowd. Almost three fourths of them had already been infected by the disease and were showing symptoms. It was perfect. They would soon all die. The ones who wanted a cure would get it, and in return Chrysalis would get their life.

        Finally, she was ready to speak. “Ponies of Canterlot,” she yelled, silencing everyone other than some crying children, “I am Queen Chrysalis! And I am your new ruler!”

        Children screamed louder, and ponies began talking amongst themselves. “Okay,” yelled Chrysalis, “I will begin by killing those annoying pests!”

        Changelings began running off of the balcony one by one and grabbing the crying children. When another pony would scream, they were grabbed too. About 20-30 ponies were now being held at the height of Celestia’s castle, high enough to kill any pony if they were dropped.

        They were not dropped, however. Instead, they were carried back to the balcony, one by one. Chrysalis grabbed a sharp, thin knife from the table. A young new-born colt was brought to her. He was taken straight from her mother. Chrysalis laughed at the crying child. Carelessly, Chrysalis got to work.

        She slowly began sawing at the baby’s tongue, blood pouring from its mouth. A lot of gagging noises were heard from the crowd, and some ponies gasped, screamed, or cried. Any of those ponies were also picked up and brought over.

        The baby was screaming loudly at first, but once Chrysalis finished it was mainly gurgling noises in its own blood. Chrysalis, careful not to spill blood on the ground, took the baby over to Dash. Rainbow attempted to scream vulgarities, but was only able to make out loud noises because of the ring gag.

        The Changeling put the baby colt’s mouth near Rainbow’s and flipped it over. All of the blood from the baby’s “surgery” began flowing quickly into Rainbow’s mouth. Rainbow began coughing and gurgling as the warm, red fluid filled her mouth. Chrysalis took her hoof and placed it on the ring gag, preventing any blood to escape Dash’s mouth.

        Eventually, Dash had no choice but to swallow. It was the most disgusting thing she had ever done, and Chrysalis laughed at it. Shortly after swallowing, Dash vomited. Chrysalis didn’t move her hoof, forcing the vomit to stay in Dash’s mouth. Once again, she had to swallow it all.

        Chrysalis took the baby colt and threw it over the balcony, letting it splatter into a mess of bones, flesh and organs on the ground. Ponies managed to contain their screams this time, as they knew what would happen. Chrysalis turned back to Dash and smiled. She picked up the baby’s tongue. Dash’s eyes widened as she saw the Changeling near her again. She knew what was going to happen.

        In one swift motion, the tongue was being forced down Dash’s throat. Dash started to gag as the bloody tongue was rammed into her uvula. Chrysalis didn’t intend for the tongue to be swallowed whole, she was just doing it for the fun. Tears flew down Dash’s eyes as the tongue was finally removed from her mouth.

        Chrysalis turned to her next victim that was placed on the balcony. It was a filly, much older than the baby. She clearly was able to speak. She was silently crying. Chrysalis smiled at her and asked, “What’s your name, dear?”

        “P...Petal Green…”

        “Petal Green? Alright, and do you wish to live?”

        “Y-yes…”

        “Great! All you have to do is mash this up for me!”

        Without warning, Chrysalis shoved the tongue in the filly’s mouth. The filly screamed, but knowing there was no other option, began chewing. She gagged about five or six times from what Chrysalis could tell.

        “Are you done?”

        The filly nodded, her face completely wet.

        “Good girl!” Chrysalis picked up the filly and put her mouth near Dash’s. “Now, do you know what making out is?”

        The filly once again nodded.

        “Good! I want you to make out with this fine pegasus here. Can you do that?”

        Once again the filly nodded. Dash screamed as the filly opened her mouth and touched lips. The mashed up tongue fell out of the filly’s mouth and into Dash’s. Disgusted, the filly began kissing Rainbow Dash and twirling her tongue around Dash’s tongue and the mashed up baby tongue. After she couldn’t take it any any more the filly withdrew from the kiss, still crying.

        “Gee,” Chrysalis said, “I don’t recall telling you to stop!” The Changeling took the knife and stabbed the filly’s gut. Petal Green screamed as her stomach burst open. Chrysalis made a huge slice from the child’s belly all the way up to her left eye. The filly was already dead, so the Changeling opened up the flesh and poured all of the organs over the side of the balcony and into the crowd of ponies, showering them with the organs, bodily fluids and muscles. Next, she dropped the corps off and it landed where the baby’s did.

        “Last one,” said Chrysalis, “I just want you to kill the rest. Just drop them or something.”

        The Changelings gave Chrysalis one final filly and then threw the rest of the ponies into the corpse pile. A gigantic pile of organs, flesh and blood now coated the ground, and from where the audience stood, it smelled terrible.

        The new filly Chrysalis had was still crying, loudly. “Shut up,” said Chrysalis, “or you’ll die like the rest of them.”

        The filly’s face was peeling off from the disease, so muscles could be seen on parts of her head. Chrysalis laughed at the sight. “Poor thing,” stated the Queen, “too bad you don’t have the cure. I have it, though. You want it?”

        The filly nodded.

        “All you have to do is do what I ask.” Chrysalis pointed to Rainbow Dash. “You see that girl?”

        The filly once again nodded.

        “I want you to lick her.”

        The filly walked over to Rainbow Dash and licked her ear. “No, you moron,” said Chrysalis, “I want you to lick her cunt! Clean it up, now!”

        The filly had never had sexual interaction with anypony, nor had Rainbow. And neither of them were lesbians. But the filly did as she was told. Slowly, she stuck out her tongue and glided it across Rainbow’s folds. Rainbow moaned as the wet, muscular organ slid over her privates. She could feel heat rising down in her marehood. This wasn’t how she wanted her first time to be, and she didn’t want it to be with a girl.

        “Deeper!”

        The filly shoved her tongue inside Rainbow, licking up all of her precum. She wiggled her tongue up and down, which sent chills down Dash’s spine. Rainbow couldn’t deny that it felt great.

        “Lick the clit, too!”

        The filly removed her tongue from inside Dash and began rolling it over her clitoris. Dash squealed in delight. She was going to climax any second.

        “Stop!” Chrysalis laughed, “Just, stop! She’s going to orgasm from a filly! Rainbow, you pervert!” Chrysalis turned to the filly, grabbed the bloodied knife and jammed it into her throat. Blood dripped down onto Dash’s marehood, some of which went inside of her. She could feel the warm, sticky blood slowly start to fill her. The filly started gagging and puking up blood as her eyes closed. Chrysalis took the body and threw it off with the rest of them.

        “Now Canterlot,” Chrysalis said to the remaining crowd, “this pegasus here is an example to all of you. She went against me, and look at what happened! This could be you, if you don’t follow my rule! I have the cure to your disease! All you need to do is be my slaves. A small price to pay for living, don’t you think?”

        The Changeling Queen could feel the hatred burning off of the crowd, and she was devouring it. She turned to Dash and grabbed the jar of ashes. “This, Rainbow, is the remains of the precious Elements of Harmony.”

        Dash grunted through her ring gag. Chrysalis giggled as she removed the lid and tipped the jar toward Rainbow’s mouth. Ashes began pouring into Dash’s mouth, making her cough them up. They weren’t hot anymore, but they tasted terrible, and definitely weren’t good for her to consume. Chrysalis finished pouring in the far, which barely was contained in Dash’s mouth, and once again blocked off Rainbow’s ring gag with her hoof.

        Dash slowly swallowed them, coughing as they went down. There was no way Chrysalis would get away with this. She could feel something in her. Some sort of hope, burning in her chest.

Chrysalis removed the ring gag from Dash’s mouth, finally allowing her to speak. “YOU FUCKING BITCH,” she screamed, “YOU’RE DEAD!”

“Oh Dash,” laughed the Changeling, “why get so upset over those ponies? You’re so weak! I’ll just finish the job now!”

Rainbow could feel it. Energy was coursing through her veins. The Elements were in those ashes. They weren’t destroyed, the had just changed form. They still existed, and she had their power.

        “Chrysalis,” Rainbow said, “they were my friends. And I’m not weak. I’m the Iron Pony.”

        The queen was going to laugh, but didn’t get a chance. Rainbow’s eyes lit up, and a large rainbow blasted out of them, directly hitting Chrysalis. The Changeling screamed as her legs exploded, blood and muscle splattering Rainbow Dash and the floor. Chrysalis’ torso was slashed open from all directions, her intestines hanging out of her skin. The flesh began peeling from her face, revealing a bloody skeleton.

        Chrysalis ended with a bang. Her entire being exploded into blood and guts, showering the town. The rainbow kept going however, and hit the town. Everypony with the disease was instantly cured, and the barrier around them vanished. Ponies cheered and ran away as quickly as possible. Finally, the effects ended, and Rainbow fell to the floor, her chair from earlier burnt to a crisp.

        Celestia came flying in as fast as possible, looking at the catastrophic disaster. After patting Rainbow Dash on the shoulder, she left the balcony. Dash was now alone, kneeling on the ground crying. She had lost everypony she knew and loved. And all she could think of was to repeat the same phrase over and over again:

“I am the Iron Pony…”
