I just... I just don't understand why this happened... That decision was one of the hardest to choose from but this just went off the rails! It got taken too far! I hate him... I hate him... I wanted to kill him!

"Obscuro!" I screamed with a shaky voice from my fear of my old friend, Dr Atmosphere. The earth felt like it froze... What should happen? Should I sacrifice myself or let her perish? I was soon about to react when Wings sprung in front of Obscuro. The blade Dr Atmosphere sneakily hid in his hoof, plunged into Wings' chest but Wings looked down and pulled it out.

"No blood..." Dr Atmosphere mumbled with a face the was overflowing with shock. I walked over with pride in my stride and patted Wings slightly then went face to face with Atmosphere.

"Well of course there's no blood! What use would I need for blood in my perfect worker?" I insanely laughed. "You see, you helped make this kind stallion but I might of altered his wires... Slightly, but it was worth it!" Just after saying this, Wings lept at Atmosphere, throwing him to the ground. Atmosphere let out a small yelp at this action. "It's actually very clever what I did! Haha! One of them things might make him a killing machine if he got harmed!"

"I programmed him not to attack us!" Atmosphere growled at me.

"Oh no, no, no! Do you think I'm stupid? Seriously? It was never us! I changed that to make it only harm you not me because it was always you who needed punished! I know what you are planning, I knew all along and I knew it was you who broke my mind! Play as innocent as you want to the princesses and the citizens but I can see right through you!" I shouted slightly pushing Wings off him. He grinned like a maniac.

"Haha! Oh my, you were always quite the comedian. Giving me a bit of a laugh through them gory, horrifying days you created!"

"I never created anything!"

"Oh, you always did! I remember the day you killed your sister, your loyal friends, your loving mother and fath-" I slammed my bloody hoof into his jaw to quiet him from speaking such lies.

"It was never me! Always you! Always! You killed everyone single one but I was just your puppet: following your directions you implanted into my mind! You were that tumour I had! No pony else would do something as disgraceful as that but you would you monster!" I ferociously screamed at him.

"No...it was me...I was just doing my job...the way you told me..." Obscuro spoke walking towards us. I turned to her with confusion at this bizarre confession. "You personally told me that I should be prepared! I was prepared!" Atmosphere rose his bloody, battered face with shock.

"I knew I recognised your tone... I put you in a high rank, ordering others to...kill..." I struggled to comprehend this new discovery.

"Huh! You were that very selfish pony that once ventured to me asking if you could access Ms. Dash's office!" Wings joyfully said.

"Wouldn't call myself selfish! Well I suppose my disguise has been blown! Let's see how long the moron will realise she originally wanted to kill me!" She cheekily spoke looking towards me with a smile on her face. "Tik, tok!" That was the final straw, the fuse was up and I was about to explode but the thought of Scootaloo came to mind.

"I remember but I'm not going to do anything. Nothing at all. I know what you did... Killed my friends and family but not Scootaloo." I calmly spoke expecting an attack, verbal or physical but I just got the same phrase repeated over and over again. 'I never wanted this!' That phrase I've heard many of times but I never bothered me or even made me feel sympathetic to the producers of this phrase however, this felt... Different.
...
"I never wanted this... Take me home please!" Scootaloo called out to me, clearing on a white, fluffy cloud.

"Come on! Trust me! Just spread your wings and fly! If you fall or panic, I'll catch you... I promise" I replied smiling cheerfully at my young, scared sister.
...
"I promise..." I muttered slightly. "I promised her and I broke it... No... I didn't want to break that promise but you little, snivelling idiot made me do it! You!" I screamed with anger turning to Atmosphere who was just centimetres away from me.

"Me? I think you're mistaking! I'm just the one that stopped you doing anymore damage to anypony else!" He smugly spoke. I was about to brutally attack him in the similar fashion I did towards Fleur De Lis but he grabbed the same blade from before and gently but quickly, pointed it on my throat. The point was almost at the stage of tearing my flesh. I fearlessly stood there, barely breathing at all. "Am I right?" He grimly spoke. I slowly backed away.

"Not the slightest!" I announced. His face quickly filled with rage for disobeying him and not agreeing the way I was programmed to, and he rushed to me, blade aimed for my chest. That shiny, silver blade red to be ruby red. His face to be soon filled with joy at his soon accomplishment. His sanity to be completely lost.

"Ahh!" Obscuro shrieked with her fragile body slamming into the hard, grey floor.

"Oh god..." Wings mumbled under his breath.

"You stupid, stupid mare! Why did you do that? Why?" I cried out sitting by Obscuro who was shuddering with the pain.

"You don't need me... And I wanted you to live..." She quietly muttered. "You've got to end this... But please promise me you will"

"I don't know how! Come on, don't do this to me! Don't!" I shouted to her, almost crying.

"You do but just remember... You never wanted this but they did... Well, I guess this is it, the end of me..." She calmly spoke looking at me with hope. I nodded.

"Thank you, I wouldn't of made it to where I am... Let's hope that I do end this... For you! Goodbye my... Sister," I spoke holding her close. She smiled but soon all of her life was drained out of her body. "Leave now... Just go while you have the chance because as soon as I look up, you'll be lying in your own pool of blood!" I screamed at Atmosphere with hatred.

"See you soon then!" He spoke running off into the distance, towards the main factory that still stood in its place. The very original home of all of this mayhem. Cloudsdale.
