Revenge of all Colours

Chapter 10
Final Gamble

The sight the Princess and the three friends saw were nothing short of a nightmare. Blood and flesh flew through the air as parents attacked their children, children attacked, neighbors, neighbors attacked pets, and pets attacked owners.

All the four could do was watch in horror as Canterlot tore its self apart. Twilight was the only one who had the strength to speak, “We gotta get down there and save as many ponies as we can! Some of them might not be infected yet!”

The other three shook them selves out of their trance and silently agreed. Twilight teleported them all to the ground and they began tearing ponies off others while Twilight used her magic to knock out the attacking ponies and the Princess used hers to heal the victims as best as she could.

The four plowed through the piles of corrupted citizens, but not everyone could be saved. They passed countless torn and ravaged bodies. Some had their intestines hanging out, others had their eyes clawed out so facing you were bloody dark pits. There was only so many they could save.

They followed a colt chasing a small filly into a building, Twilight rammed him over and knocked him unconscious. The girl curled in a small, shivering ball in the corner. Fluttershy approached her and tried to calm her down.

“It's ok little one, your safe now! Just wait here and we'll take care of everything!” The filly started to calm down. But the group was startled when they heard rustling in the room next to them.

They all backed off and prepared them selves. What emerged from the doorway was a golden earth pony with long blond hair. “Fluttershy? Is that you?”

Applejack got out of the room and ran towards her friends. Rarity spoke up and greeted Applejack. “Darling Applejack your alive! But are you feeling alright? You look terrible!”

Applejack gave Rarity an irritated look, “Ah'm fine thank you very much! Hey Twilight, just what the hay is goin on? Have you guys seen Dash!?”

Twilight spoke quickly, “No we haven't and we've been running around Canterlot tearing ponies off each other, we need your help, it's utter chaos out there!” Applejack agreed and the five ponies ran out of the building leaving the filly in Applejack's safe room.

When they were back on the streets, all the fighting and madness had stopped. All that remained were the dozens of corpses and wounded ponies scattered all over the city. Celestia and Twilight did their best to tend to the wounded while Fluttershy and Rarity closed the eyes of the deceased.

Applejack just stood there, horrified and struck with guild. “None a this had to happen.... It's all mah fault...” Applejack tipped her head down, hiding her tears behind her hat.

Celestia approached Applejack, “What do you mean, your fault?” Celestia towered over Applejack, making her feel even more uncomfortable. She bowed her head lower.

“Ah'm so sorry... Ah could have stopped this.... Ah was right there.... but the Flim Flam brother caught me.....” the other three ponies began to crowd Applejack and understand her guilt.

“Is that why you were stuck in that closet?” Twilight asked.

“Nah... Dashie saved me an told me to wait there for ether her or you guys.” Applejack kicked the dirt beneath her in frustration.

Fluttershy bowed her head and walked up beside Applejack and threw her hoof around her, pulling her in for a hug. “It's not your fault Applejack, you did all you could.”

Applejack began to weep as the others joined their pile of sorrow. Even the Princess joined in and cried for her fallen city and citizens, many she knew and respected. Now they lye on the ground, cold and covered in crimson.

Rarity heard hoof steps in the distance and turned her head, the other turned and also looked. Running in the opposite direction was a pink earth pony.

“Pinkie Pie!!!” Twilight screamed as she and the others began to charge after her. Pinkamina stopped and looked at her followers, and a small grin grew across her face.

When the five arrived before Pinkamina she was laughing hysterically. “Isn’t it beautiful!? Im so glad my friends got to see it with me! What did ya think!?”

None of them spoke. Only Princess Celestia stepped forward and flapped her wings, lifting her up into the air menacingly as she charged a great beam of light from her horn that lit up the whole city.

The Princess, now more like a Goddess spoke to Pinkie in her Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice, witched seem to shake the ground beneath them, “You should be ashamed of your self Pinkamina Diane Pie, do you have any idea what you have done!?”

Celestia's eyes glowed fiercely, piercing through Pinkamina, but the twisted earth pony only giggled quietly. “I know exactly what I have done Princess... and what are you gunna do about it!?”

Celestia grit her teeth and shot out a beam of light at Pinkie, but she easily dodged it and charged Celestia. Celestia aimed her horn for another blast but Pinkamina already delivered a hoof to her jaw.

The Princess fell backward unconscious, and the other four ponies just stood there dumbfounded. Pinkamina turned to face her once best friends, “Well, who's next?”

The four friends all attacked at the same time, Twilight and Rarity shot bolts of magic at Pinkamina, while Applejack tried to grab her with her rope. Even Fluttershy had had enough and was in the air, trying to swoop down and grab her.

Pinkamina easily danced around avoiding everyone's attacks. She hopped in between Twilight and Rarity and ducked just as they shot, the two Unicorns spells struck each other and they were both knocked unconscious.

Just as Fluttershy swopped down to grab her she flipped up and kicked Fluttershy directly in the temple also knocking her out. Just as she hit the ground Pinkie found a knife and picked it up.

Applejack attempted to lasso her but the pink earth pony grabbed the rope and pulled Applejack directly into the knife. The blade sliced across Applejack's belly and she fell to the ground, holding it as tight as she could trying to prevent her guts from spilling.

Pinkamina just stood there looking down on her pray. A bolt of pain shot through Pinkie's brain and she dropped the knife and clutched her head. Applejack looked up to see Pinkie Pie once again struggling over her body.

The Pinkie Pie they all knew and loved managed to free her self for a small moment. “Im so sorry everyone!” Tears ran down her face like a steep river.

She looked down to Applejack, the only friend conscious friend she had there. “Applejack... Please...... Stop me.... I don't want to kill anymore....”

The words from her old friend made Applejack's heart wrench and tears of her own began to flow. Pinkie Pie felt another surge of pain through her head and she was once again lost.

Pinkamina cracked her neck to the side and looked back down on Applejack. “Now where were we!?”

Applejack bared her teeth in frustration, “Dammit Pinkamina! Just let her go! Let us all go! Why're you doing this!?” Applejack's tears continued to flow, this moment reminded her of her sister. When she was also a puppet of Pinkamina, because of her she had to bury her sister.

Pinkamina cocked her head and gave Applejack a sickening grin. “I believe someone you know has already answered that question Applejack...”

Pinkamina pinked up the knife she dropped and approached Applejack, raising her knife. “Because it's fun!”

Just before Pinkamina could drop the knife down on Applejack's throat a loud explosion echoed through the air. The pink earth pony felt her tail twitch and instantly turned towards rainbow Dash, now rocketing towards her with full intent to finish everything here and now.

Pinkamina prepared her knife for the right time to counter. Suddenly the pink earth pony felt a rope wrap around her hoof and pull the knife from her hand, leaving her body wide open.

Pinkamina was trapped, Applejack gripped the lasso hard and didn't let up for a second. Applejack let out her last words to Pinkamina,

“This is for Pinkie Pie!”

It's almost over folks! What's gunna happen next?

Well see next chapter! See ya then!
