Revenge of all Colours

Chapter 8
Old Friends

When the five friends arrived in Canterlot everypony was living their usual lives. Twilight gave a sigh of relief that Pinkie's serum hadn’t broken out yet. She stepped forward and immediately took charge and gave orders in her usual organized, and well planned manner.

“Ok, here's how were gunna do this! I'll go warn Princess Celestia. Rainbow Dash, you find Pinkie.” Rainbow Dash nodded with integrity, hovering just above the others.

Twilight continued her demands, “And the rest of you, split up and look for any suspicious activity. Look for shifty characters, check water pipes, anything that could leak into the water supply!”

The five friends all together replied “Got it!” and split up in all directions, double checking everything. They had to prevent the outbreak at all costs, countless lives depended on it.

The Princess walked along side her two most faithful Unicorn guards, but she was not as comfortable with her guards as usual. They were acting different and she could not put her hoof on it.

She used her magic to open a heavy door in front of them and at that moment one of the guards gave the other a nod. The guard rushed towards the Princess and pulled out a knife.

A door slammed open behind them and a split second later he was sent flying through the air with an immense pain in his side. Twilight had burst into the room at the perfect time and rammed the treacherous Unicorn, stabbing her horn into his ribs. The other guard attempted to use his magic to attack Twilight but was stuck by a beam of light from Celestia and knocked unconscious.

“Twilight Sparkle? Just what is going on here!?” Celestia demanded. Twilight was panting and gasping, exhausted from running and searching for the Princess, but replied as fast as lightning.

“I'll explain along the way, but please follow me! You have to warn everyone!” Twilight exclaimed, and the Princess galloped towards her pupil. They both began to make their way to the top of the tower. But before they could make it very far, Princess Celestia was struck by a magical blow to the back of the head and knocked unconscious.

Twilight immediately spun around and shot her own magic and the two beams of light collided, causing a small but very loud explosion. When the smoke began to clear the figure began to step forward. The Unicorn's polished silver armor shined in the sunlight and his white coat and soft blue mane seemed to glisten also. But his pale, empty blue eyes shot straight through Twilight.

Before her stood her very brother, now corrupted by Pinkamina's serum. Tears ran down her cheeks as Shining Armor shot another beam of light at his sister. Twilight deflected with another bolt of magic and raised her head, looking upon her beloved brother.

“Pinkamina.... Have you no mercy?”

The golden earth pony ran as fast as she could through the large water system of Canterlot. Galloping through the tunnels reminded her of back when they were all chasing Pinkamina through the tunnels under her house. She quickly shook away the painful memories and continued searching.

In the corner of her eye she saw a large clear container. Inside it was a purple liquid, she slid to a screeching stop and ran towards the purple liquid and got a closer look. “This must be that serum Dashie was talkin about! But what do ah do with it?”

Applejack looked carefully around the container, trying to think of a way she could safely dispose of it. Applejack's ear twitched as she heard the sound of movement behind her and immediately leaped out of the way of a cleaver flying towards her head.

The large blade chopped into the wooden pillar behind her and she looked back at her two opponents in shock. “You!?” Applejack's eyes widened and jaw dropped.

The two Unicorn brothers emerged from the tunnel exchanging parts of sentences directed to Applejack as they usually did as twins. “Well well Flam look who we have here!” Flim said giving the earth pony a menacing grin.

“You don't say Flim, isn't this a pleasure!?” the twins stopped and pointed their horns at the terrified pony, and spoke in unison.

“Long time, no see Applejack!”

Rainbow Dash soared through the air, looking for the tiniest hint of Pinkie's location. Then she finally found exactly what she needed, a small round object on the roof of a building. Rainbow Dash glided towards it and exactly to her expectations, it was a small cupcake.

Dash knew this had to be a trap just like last time. But she had no choice, or time to plan. The Pegasus flew around to the door and quietly entered. It was dark, on the wall to her left was a switch and she flicked it upwards.

Only a small light in the center of the room lit, showing a table with another cupcake in the center. Dash cautiously walked towards the table and on the table was another large, red button. The observed her surroundings but it didn’t seem like anything could immediately harm her by pressing it.

She slowly pushed the button until she heard a small click. The door behind her slammed shut as the room was suddenly completely lit with bright ceiling lights and spot lights, revealing every inch of the room.

Rainbow Dash looked around her in horror, looking upon the countless bodies of ponies scattered all over the room. Dash could only recognize some of the special features a few victims had.

The Great and Powerful Trixie's hat was soaking in a bucket of blood and organs in the left corner of the wall. Behind the Pegasus were the large wings and claws of Gilda the Griffin hanging on the wall by a small colorful thread.

The head of Mr. Cake was sitting on a table facing Rainbow Dash, the mouth was hung open and the eyes were piercing through Dash like an arrow. Beside the severed head was a small blood splattered tiara hanging by a lock of purple hair. The tiara dripped blood on a pile of shiny, golden African jewelry below it.

Countless severed cutie marks were nailed all over the walls next to decorations reading “Welcome back!” and “We missed you!” The cyan Pegasus felt her stomach wrench and she covered her mouth. Rainbow Dash heard a quiet chuckle and she quickly turned and faced the twisted pink earth pony.

“It seemed you didn't like my decorations very much last time, so I really went all out this time. So tell me Dash...” Pinkamina flicked her front hooves into the air and gave Dash a maniacal look. “What do ya think!?”

The Pegasus didn't reply she only pulled out her knife and prepared her self. “Really were doing this again? You never learn do you Dashie!?” Pinkamina charged Dash as the cyan Pegasus jumped to slash at Pinkies face, but the pink earth pony spun out of the way and delivered a kick straight into Dash's face and the knife fell from her teeth on to the blood stained floor.

Pinkie followed with a flurry of rapid kicks, stunning Rainbow Dash and knocking her backward into a wall. When Pinkamina stopped, Dash saw her opportunity and threw a hoof at the earth pony. Pinkie quickly deflected it and snapped a clip of razor wire over it, binding her to the wall. She did the same with every limb until The Pegasus could no longer move.

The razor wire scratched and tore skin for every hint of struggle. Dash was caught again, “SHIT!” Dash cursed Pinkamina, baring her teeth at the pain.

Pinkamina pulled a knife and pointed it at Dash's face, “Now now watch your mouth!” Pinkamina wasted no time, she drove the blade directly into the Pegasus's chest and began sawing around Dash's heart.

Dash screamed in pain but managed to let our two words among the gasps and screams. “Wh-What in Equestria are you doing!?”

Pinkamina paused for a short moment to explain. “Well well! She really didn't tell you!? Turns out you really can die Dashie! All I gotta do is cut your pretty little heart out and drain it! To think it's actually pretty simple!” Dash sucked in a painful gasp and coughed up blood.

“H-How did you!?...” Dash could hardly speak. She was losing more and more strength the more Pinkie cut.

“How did I figure it out? Oh, Zecora told me! I just gave her a little shot of my special juice and she told me, easy as pie!” Pinkamina was finished cutting and removed the circular shape of skin and bone from Dash's chest revealing her beating heart. Dash couldn't move, she just stood there gazing terrified at her rapidly beating heart.

Pinkamina pulled the heart out of Dash's chest and wrapped a cord around it suspended from the ceiling. Dash was trapped, She was held in place by razor wire, forced to watch her own heart slowly drain onto the floor. Only a thin vein connected her to her heart.

“There now we just gotta wait! I imagine it's pretty boring for you to just stand there and watch you heart so I have some entertainment for your last few minutes!” Pinkamina whistled and two twin Unicorns walked into the room, they were rolling a table with a golden earth pony strapped to it, it was Applejack.

The two brothers bowed and left the room as Pinkamina picked up a scalpel. Applejack look into Rainbow Dash's eyes, tears running down her face. “Ah'm sorry Sugarcube... ah couldn't stop it.....” Applejack was badly beaten and bruised and Dash did her best not to cry at the sight of her captive love.

“It's ok Applejack, just hang in there!” Rainbow Dash looked up at Pinkamina full of rage, “Don't you dare lay one hoof on her!” Dash bared her teeth and gave the pink earth pony the worst look of sickened hatred.

Pinkamina only shrugged he shoulders and gave Dash a grin. “What are you gunna do Dash? What are you gunna do when I cut up your beloved Applejack!? What are you gunna do when she starts to scream as her blood stains he coat!? Nothing!”

Pinkamina pointed her scalpel at Applejack and gave her a menacing look. “Im gunna take my time and enjoy this Dashie! Cause the only thing I enjoy more than causing you physical pain...” Pinkamina slashed across The golden earth pony's chest that made her scream and wreath in pain. The cyan Pegasus wrenched forward causing the razor wire to cut her deeper, she winced in pain and back off. Pinkamina looked back at the helpless eyes of Rainbow Dash.

“The only thing I enjoy more than causing you physical pain...
Is causing you mental pain.”
