The Rise of Starlight Glimmer

Finally... I can do it. This... This is amazing! I have to go find Darklick!

Starlight bolted out of her room and grabbed her saddle bag, not caring if her parents or sister heard her.

This was the night. This was the night.

The night where she had finally managed to take off her Celestia doll's cutie mark. And this time, it was permanent.

She could feel it in her body that it was. She could feel that she had succeeded.

Starlight opened the front door and didn't close it, still not worrying about waking any pony up.

She ran through the empty streets of Canterlot under the full moon that was gently glowing.

Finally, she arrived in front of Darklick's house and climbed up his wall to his window, using the vines that were hanging here and there.

Starlight gently tapped the window pane, trying to make as less noise as possible.

After a few seconds the window opened :

"What... Starlight?! The hell are you doing here at this time of night?"

"Shhhhh!" scolded Starlight, putting a hoof on his mouth. "Come with me I'll explain on the way there!"

Darklick nodded and closed the window, trying to hide his blush.

He appeared on the doorstep a couple of minutes later.

"So what is it?!"

"Follow me!" just whispered Starlight, trotting back towards the border of Canterlot.

Darklick followed her, surprised.

About fifteen minutes later, Starlight arrived at a halt in front of a cliff.

Darklick stopped next to her.

"What are we doing here?"

If my calculations are correct, what I'm going to do next is going to totally make him my slave...

"I just wanted to... experience something..." murmured Starlight, getting closer to him and taking a sensual voice and trying to act as cute as possible.

"Wha... What's that?"

Starlight turned around him, taking slow steps. "An experience..."

She brushed her tail on his cheek and interiorly chuckled. What a loser...

"Tell me what I have to do then." Darklick's tone had grown shy and he was sweating.

Starlight took a step back.

"Just stay right where you are!" she exclaimed and briefly saw confusion on the colt's face.

Her horn started to glow pink and she elevated three or four feet in the air.

Her eyes became unfocused and she was muttering things.

Darklick's apprehension grew as a strong gust of wind tangled his mane.

He felt something tingle next to the area where his cutie mark was.

"Hey Starlight?" he shouted to cover the wind, "What are you doing?!"

The pink filly didn't answer and continued her incantations.

The tingle on Darklick's flank was becoming more intense and was approaching pain level.

"Starlight!" he yelled, panicked as he felt another gust of wind blow past him and pushed him a little closer to the edge.

The pain was now there and Darklick screamed. He was feeling as if something was ripped away from his body and soul.

He felt sucked into the air and fell down to the grass.

It had all happened in a few seconds.

Starlight's horn stopped being enveloped in her pink aura and she rubbed her eyes as she saw a glowing cutie mark approach her.

That's new...

The pink filly frowned as it stopped in front of her and continued slowly to spin in circles.

It was some dark smoke and had a red dot in the middle.

Is this...

Starlight looked pass it and saw Darklick who was laying there unmoving.

Is this Darklick's cutie mark?! So... cool! I wonder why it didn't do that with my Celestia doll... Maybe it doesn't have effect on non living ponies?Ohhhh! I have to record this in my memory orb!

Starlight then looked back at Darklick's body.

She walked right up to it and gave him her biggest smile.

"Thanks soooo much for being my test subject! It was-"

Starlight frowned again as he didn't move.

Then something inside her froze.

She put her hoof on his neck and checked?

No pulse.

Starlight sighted and shook her head.

I was going to kill him anyways but... ah, never mind!

She took a look at his flank.

There, a gray equality cutie mark had appeared.

Her heart filled up with joy.

"I can't believe it!" she chirped out loud. "I finally did it! Yes! I mean sure the test subject was killed but still! This was what I was hoping for... That every pony lives equal and happy!"

The pink filly took her memory orb out of her saddle bag and smiled brightly.

"Entry number 47" she said, "I have completed an equalization on my test subject and it worked.

The host died but I've got his cutie mark. Now, I just have to learn how to not kill them and show my project to every pony!"

Starlight smiled to herself again and put it back in her saddle bag... before staring mouth-opened at her flank.

She quickly took the memory orb back out and almost cried :

"Entry number 48... I... I have my cutie mark!"

Her joy was so big that she couldn't stop chuckling to herself for a couple of minutes.

Right... And now to get my test subject out of the way!

She pushed the body forward a bit and watched as it fell down until the bottom of the cliff.

A gasp was heard.

Starlight turned around as quickly as she could before stopping in surprise.

"S... Sister?"

Her sister was shaking. One of her hooves were pressed against her mouth and her eyes were opened wide in shock.

Tears were freely flowing from them.

"What..." she murmured, "What have you done?"
