His name was engraved on it, “Double Rainbow,” with a heart and a rainbow over the heart. It was night now. There wasn’t much time. I needed to get back to the fortress and finish this. I used my horn creating a rainbow portal that I used to warp back to the derelict fort. I returned to the den and got Double Rainbow’s knife. It wouldn’t take long for Roadkill and the mortician, Peaceful Memories to notify the alicorns of what they witnessed. I went down into the dark and dreary dungeon. There I found my next subject. He was an evil pony. I left him in the dungeon part of the fort under the curse of my sleep spell. He would not awaken until I revered it so he was out like a light. I set up the traps using magic and put everything in place. It only took a few seconds. One of his front hooves and one of his back hooves were wrapped in barbed wire that kept him stationary. The only way to be able to leave was to cut off his two hooves. Behind Tracker was the stairs that would lead to fort’s opening. In front of Tracker and between us was a rug, not the special gift rug that I had given to my mate, that turned into my body armor. I activated the counter spell, knowing it would take only a few moments for him to come back to life. The pony in front of me was an investigator for Princess Celestia, the best she had. But even he had skeletons in his closet. He was part of law enforcement, but now he needed to face justice. It was his fate. I will reveal that while Roadkill slept for an hour or so, that is when I snuck out of the area and knocked out Tracker. I knew he would be coming soon and it all worked out perfectly. The pony began to stir. In a moment he stood up. Knowing what had happened. The pony looked at me. I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you Tracker, I know everything. You purposefully hid evidence in the murder case of the griffon, Behind Schedule, who was put to death for Drop Zone’s crimes. You had evidence that Behind Schedule was innocent, but you concealed it. You knew he was, well, behind schedule, with his deliveries and, therefore, could not have been the criminal who was killing innocent ponies. You essentially were one of the ponies who put the griffon to death for lying. You are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” “This is ridiculous! This is impossible! You can’t possibly know what I or any other pony has done or has not done. ” I walked forward with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating in the air like a cloud using magic. I stated, “Let’s have fun. For the thrill of it. Play the game.” Tracker no doubt knew what was coming up next. I went to the front right hoof that was bound with the wire and using the knife cut it off. Tracker screamed in pain and tried to squirm out of the barbed wire’s bind, but couldn’t. I finished the deed and dropped the knife in front of him. After dropping the knife, I said, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. You know what you need to do, so don’t keep me waiting.” “By Celestia.” Tracker stated as he picked up the knife and started chopping away at his rear left hoof, knowing that it was going to be most painful. Tracker finished with the operation and was now free. Tracker knew how the trap worked from investigating Double Rainbow’s crimes. Tracker knew that if he tried to attack the pony in front of him he would die by activating the second trap. Tracker knew that if he just left he would be okay. Tracker painfully retreated heading towards the stairs. It was difficult walking around with diagonal hooves missing. He stepped on a stone that gave way into the floor. The investigator activated the trap. A large sword came out of the floor and impaled him. Looking at me, Tracker shouted, “I was supposed to win this! I learned my lesson.” I, Rainbow Moon, informed, “Both ways were booby trapped. Unlike Double Rainbow’s traps, no pony survives my game.” Then a large axe crashed down from the ceiling decapitating him, resulting in his death. Tracker, horrified, then passed away. I picked up the knife and sheathed it into the appropriate spot in my armor. The rug was just rug from the castle. I donned the rug of my deceased mate and it had that turned into my body armor. Both ways were booby trapped, which was different than my dead mate. But this pony knew the secret of beating the trap, so a better ponytrap had to be made for him, specifically, even though I might have used such an operation before. The though made me chuckle. With Tracker’s trap and death, Double Rainbow’s work was complete. Now all that remained was my tasks. Chapter 2 Go With The FlowDue to the recent events all of the alicorns and Twilight’s friends were at the Stones of Tears gravesite. It was getting colder with fall departing soon and winter to be in full effect shortly. They had spent the last few days finding and burying dead bodies. Then all of a sudden it just seemed to stop. It was generally believed by Twilight that all of the ponies who were massacred by Double Rainbow had now been buried, or at least that is what she thought. They believed that they had found all of his victims, because no more bodies had appeared. Tracker, Celestia’s prize investigator, still had not been found, but was suspected to be likely dead. Additionally, three other ponies were still missing, named Cold Stone, Oopsy Daisy, and Roadkill. With Tracker missing, Princess Celestia personally wanted to investigate the incidents. Two friends of Rainbow Heart had been summoned to the meeting as well. They were assigned to aid the alicorns, since they were close friends of Rainbow Heart. Night Wish had returned and was with them. Night Wish was an apprentice of Princess Luna. Night Wish was a black and blue pegasus. Her body was black, her mane and tail were black and blue, she had blue tribal tattoo-like accents on her forehead, cheeks, neck, and on her legs. Her cutie mark was a blue shooting star with the tail steak shaped like a crescent moon and lighter blue in color. She had blue eyes. There was also a pony named Victor who had been friends with Rainbow Heart since kindergarten. Victor is a black unicorn with white underbelly and blue eyes. His cutie mark is a ghost. Victor basically looked like a Siberian Husky. Victor and Rainbow Heart were friends since they were foals. Rainbow Heart had given him a job as a security officer at his spa in Bucktown when it existed. They would be crucial in finding Rainbow Heart. Princess Celestia said to them, “Tracker is missing and presumed dead. As a result, I will personally be investigating with all of your help. Stone Cold, Oopsy Daisy, and Roadkill are also still missing. Too many ponies have died. We must bring this to an end. But before we begin looking for clues around here, there’s new information. There is a pony who has witnessed Rainbow Heart. Peaceful Memories, the mortician, has informed me that a unicorn matching Double Rainbow’s description was cremated by a unicorn matching Rainbow Hearts information. However, after the cremation, it seems that Double Rainbow’s soul entered Rainbow Heart’s body and transformed him into an Alicorn. Rainbow Heart as a result changed his name to Rainbow Moon. It’s unclear if Rainbow Moon is still Rainbow Heart or if he is something entirely else. It looks like Rainbow Moon has buried Double Rainbow’s ashes under his Tombstone in his coffin. So, we are going to go over the Stones of Tears and look for any additional clues. Remember to keep in mind that…..” It was then a scream from the nearby forest, “Help me!” Everypony snapped their head to the forest’s edge. It was Roadkill, tired looking, thirsty, and starving. Roadkill was walking forward looking like she was attempting to run but didn’t have the strength to keep it up for more than a few seconds. Everypony ran towards her. They immediately gave her water, food, and checked her for injuries. It was obvious she had her nose cut off. Roadkill exhausted and in a slight daze began to tell her story about what she had witnessed at the Great Fortress. Roadkill was the only pony to have survived one of Double Rainbow’s traps with the aid of Rainbow Heart. They took her to the hospital in Ponyville. They had a new place to search. The Great Fortress. Chapter 3 The Great FortressAfter the firsthoof accounts of Peaceful Memories and Roadkill, the group went and investigated The Great Fortress. Now the only three ponies that were still missing were as follows: Tracker, Stone Cold, and Oopsy Daisy. It wasn’t long before they found the bodies of all three of them. Stone Cold and Oopsy Daisy were together in the kitchen area. Princess Celestia used a spell to view what happened. Her horn touched the pony on the chest and she had flashbacks of their memories. Like watching a movie, she fast forward to the important parts from time to time, skipping over some of the more useless stuff. Stone Cold and Oopsy Daisy, the two ponies were lovers. They were abducted while having a picnic near Ponyville. Rainbow Heart did these before his transformation into Rainbow Moon. Their deaths were not pleasant to say the least. Celestia saw Rainbow Heart talking to the Stone Cold who had just woken up. Stone Cold was a male and a pegasus. Rainbow Heart said, “…You killed ponies by authorization from Cloudsdale, even though they were only criminals that were sentenced and put to death, this is still wrong. You work at a facility that kills ponies for your own kind’s survival. You claim that it’s just to make money and to provide for your significant other, but secretly deep down you enjoy it. Then you became callus and cold to it like water frozen into ice. You slaughter ponies like cattle…” With another fast forward jolt, Celestia saw Rainbow Heart cut the front right hoof off, and then in a while Stone Cold removing his rear right hoof. They were bound by barbed wire in a masterpiece of artwork display. After that, Stone Cold tried to leave through the exit way without any rage. Stone Cold could barely walk do to both amputations being on the same side. Stone Cold did not attack Rainbow Heart, which would have activated the trap. Rainbow Heart angrily summoned orange tentacles to drag and bring Stone Cold over the trap, which was hidden under a rug from the fortress. Stone Cold obviously resisted, but it was in vain. This resulted in the secondary trap activating and death. A saw blade came up from the ground like a large tree circular blade that cuts wood into lumber. The blade cut the pony from the lower back to the throat. Rainbow Hearts tentacle’s then dressed out, eviscerated, and gutted the pony like a deer. Stone Cold died momentarily. Rainbow Heart enraged shouted, “Fuck! I don’t know what went wrong! This must not happen again!” Stone Cold had been killed in the dungeon. Rainbow Heart then proceeded to take Stone Cold and the pieces of him and relocated him from the premises to the kitchen. Clearly he didn’t want Double Rainbow to find out what he did. Stone Cold was the first killed. Rainbow Heart did the trap in the same method as Double Rainbow. Stone Cold would have survived the trap, based on Double Rainbow’s formula. That was until Rainbow Heart killed him when Stone Cold clearly had followed the conditions. It was clear to Celestia that Stone Cold had a lover to think about and did not care about a personal vendetta or revenge. The only thing Stone Cold cared about was Oopsy Daisy’s best interests. Celestia also checked Oopsy Daisy. This does explains the double trap method Rainbow Heart employed on his lover, the true culprit of Rainbow Heart’s earlier demise. This also explains why he changed from cutting off hooves from the same side of the body and to a diagonal pattern, so that the pony was be able to walk better. The knife appeared to be a hunter’s knife, which was not Double Rainbow’s Knife. Double Rainbow’s knife was highly ornamental and also came with a yin and yang symbol on it. Celestia saw Rainbow Heart talking to the Oopsy Daisy who had just woken up. Oopsy Daisy was a female unicorn. Rainbow Heart said, “…You caused a catastrophe in a town now called Death Town, but it was formally known as Bucktown. It contained beautiful buildings such as Dream Castle, Paradise Estate, the Grand Equestrian Lighthouse, and The Rainbow Spa. Scores of ponies died. Many lived but only you know the truth. You were the one who caused the accident and kept quiet about it knowing that they would never be able to determine who did it. Now it is a ghost town. You were the one that started the fire, the flames consuming all. You were passionate about nature, respecting it and honoring it. You stared the fire in an attempt to stop new construction that would have taken the souls of trees and forcing animals to leave their homes. But what you didn’t know was that it would spread like a wildfire destroying everything…” With another fast forward jolt, Celestia saw Rainbow Heart cut the front left hoof and then Oopsy Daisy had to sever the rear right hoof. They were bound by barbed wire in an intricate design. After that, Oopsy Daisy tried to leave through the exit way without any rage. Like Stone Cold, she did not attack Rainbow Heart. No doubt because she was focused on the love of her life and not the misery she was in. With two traps, one on each side, they were both hidden under rugs from the fortress. One trap was between the pony and Rainbow Heart in case he was attacked and the other was between the pony and the exit, so that if the pony tried to leave. This was murder plain and simple. This resulted in the secondary trap activating and death. Hooks were activated by the trap which tore the skin and hide completely ripping it off of her body in one big piece while she was still alive. Her muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones were showing. Death was shortly afterwards. Oopsy Daisy had been killed in the dungeon and her body with the parts had been removed to the kitchen, so Rainbow Heart could keep an eye on them. There, in the kitchen, Rainbow Heart’s tentacles then tended to her body, preparing it for a delicacy’s he was going to make out of it. It was Oopsy Daisy’s blood and flesh that were used for Rainbow Heart’s Ponffee. It appeared that Rainbow Heart’s Knife, the one that resembled a hunter’s knife, was ceremonially stored in Double Rainbow’s Urn and buried at Double Rainbow’s grave in what used to be his coffin under his tombstone. The question was why these two? Additional historical information Celestia saw from her flashbacks. It was because of Stone Cold, Rainbow Heart felt victimized through him and the need to silence him. In the past in Bucktown, Stone Cold was Rainbow Heart’s number one client for happy endings. Stone Cold made Rainbow Heart’s business profitable, keeping his secrets, while Oopsy Daisy had destroyed it with her ignorance. They ventured down into the dungeon, since the other two had been killed down there. Down in the dungeon they found Tracker also dead. Celestia checked Tracker. Tracker’s death must have been done after Rainbow Heart’s transformation to Rainbow Moon. It was the same double trap method employed on Oopsy Daisy. Rainbow Heart didn’t want to reform them, he wanted to murder them to keep the secrets hidden, meaning these traps were different than Double Rainbow’s. Celestia witnessed what Tracker had witnessed. In regards to Tracker, he was a witness that needed to be eliminated. There was a strange symbol written on the wall. The design specifics of it were as follows. Drawn In blood was a circle. Within the circle was a pyramid with three horns one on each side or it and one from the point of it all in blood. Then drawn in black permanent marker was a sun and moon on each side of the pyramid at the same level. Drawn in chalk below the pyramid was an equal sign and above it was a squiggly line meaning water. Princess Twilight asked, “What is that? What dies it mean?” Celestia interpreted, “It means in ancient pony, ‘balance must be restored.’” Celestia had a pretty good idea what was going on. Rainbow Heart killed two ponies one who wronged him and one that knew all his dirty secrets. He had also killed Tracker to finish Double Rainbow’s mission. Now what was Rainbow Heart, or Rainbow Moon, going to do? Additionally, he always had made the victims lose one front hoof and one back hoof, making it near impossible to run away and escape, but also separating his crimes from Double Rainbow’s. Double Rainbow and Rainbow Heart, their modus operandi were different, making the differences between the two as clear as daylight. In regards to Double Rainbow’s traps, all of the traps after the third death were the same. The only pony who didn’t have his hooves bound while having to cut off a part of their body was Drop Zone, the first victim to Double Rainbow. The second trap was different than the others too. Cookie Dough had to remove both body parts before his hooves would be freed, which is why he had to use magic and couldn’t use his hooves when he had to cut himself free of the device. Double Rainbow was trying to perfect the process. After that, all ponies had two of their hooves bound which were attached to the room in some fashion when they had to remove their two body parts, which were also connected to the same barbed wire and would release tension on the hooves once one of the parts were severed. The exception to that rule was unless it was just the hooves themselves that were to be sacrificed, in which case it was either both the front hooves or both the back hooves. Then it was the hooves that were bound and secured to a decorative web of barbed wire to a surface of the room somewhere. All of the traps were overly decorated with barbed wire for show and effect. Things were beginning to make sense. The investigation concluded that although Rainbow Heart’s attempts were similar to the rest, the victims were leaving and exiting. They should have survived these traps. They had succeeded where the others had failed in Double Rainbow’s devices. This was mainly due to the victims who were selected by Rainbow Heart. It also appeared that Rainbow Heart’s derangement only came in waves and he was pretending to be sick the rest of the time. Rainbow Heart must have done these things while Double Rainbow was away performing his own crimes, trying to be like his lover. However, Rainbow Heart may have still been suffering from his afflictions while performing these traps, so he may not have been entirely in his stable mind. Rainbow Heart had apparently lied when he said Double Rainbow brought the one pony corpse home. It was Rainbow Heart who had performed that act. So he killed three ponies. The key to figuring this out was Tracker’s Trap with two traps. Princess Celestia was on to Rainbow Moon’s game. Chapter 4 ReflectionIn the heart of the Everfree forest a fog appeared. It was Rainbow’s Moon’s camouflage that proceeded him wherever he went. It was here he looked into his reflection from a river of water. I looked deeply into myself and my soul. I was not alone in my body. I was one with my lover forever now. The past was behind me, the present was here, and the future was in front of me. Now was the moment for me to save Equestria once and for all. Using Alicorn magic, I materialize a town out of nowhere. It was Double Rainbow’s ultimate magic power. I created a town named Ponytown with my own my castle. Rainbow Moon’s Lair, my castle. It was a highly mechanized city with traps set all over. Some of it looked like rusty metal with gears and was highly mechanical. Some of the parts were old and rusty, some of the pieces were brand new, and all of the components were working together as a whole. There was barbed wire all over. It was created by magic. In my machine castle there were deadly traps. Large piston, cylindrical like traps smashing up to the ceiling and others crushing down into the ground on a rhythmic flow, specifically synchronized. Besides the pistons were, large circular saw blades, chainsaw like blades, razor blades, axe like blades designed to chop, rectangular crushing metal blocks in a machine like design to squash ponies besides the cylinders, and large knife blades designed to slaughter anypony unwelcome into my castle, The Machine Castle. There were many other traps, technically, the palace was one large trap with all sorts of blade traps. I designed the castle with my own spa and fashion design rooms. There were also ponnequins (mannequins), various dress forms, different models of pony anatomy, massage tables, massage chairs, sewing machines, and all the other equipment and items needed for my personal pleasures and passions. The castle itself was my new home. I planned to turn this machine city into a location on the map of Equestria, named Ponytown. My town may be a one-horse town now at the moment, but it will become fully populated soon with the Elements of Disharmony bearers living here. They would draw all the dark ponies here to study and use their gifts, their talents for good. I entered my fabulous palace and sat, resting on my throne. I was still Rainbow Heart, but I was now Double Rainbow powered. Now, his thoughts were mine and my thoughts were his. We knew everything about each other. It was me and my kindred spirit now intertwined forever. I remembered all the good times and the bad times. I went over everything in my mind that has happened so far in my life. The reflections were of my former self Rainbow Heart and all that had happened in my life up to Tracker’s death. I remembered how I got my cutie mark. It did not symbolize gay love per say. It was meant to show my love and kindness, but also my acceptance of diversity of everypony. It did not mean I was every gay pony’s love toy. It appeared when I realized I was full of love, kindness, and accepted everypony for who they were. I was born in Ponyville. I moved to a new town being built named Bucktown. I started a spa named The Rainbow Spa. I moved there to fill the relaxation needs to the town without a spa. The town had a large lake and downtown was built on it. My spa was on the outskirts of the town where it was the cheapest to find real estate. The building was a dump, but it was my dump. The best I ever had done was use my magic to brainwash ponies, usual between fighting lovers to rekindle their love. The worst I had ever done was us my magic to brainwash rich ponies who were stingy on their tips in order for them to give me more money. As a result of my brainwashing spell, they’d give me more money. I mean, come on. A five bit tip by someone wearing $2000 bits worth of fashion clothing was being stingy and unreasonable, in my opinion. Sometimes for the right client, mare or stallion, I would summon my orange tentacles, using my tentacle spell, for a happy ending, but who hasn’t in the spa field. I admit, I gave a few ponies happy endings to their massages. So what, it was the tentacles touching the private parts and not me. I really needed the money to run the business which wasn’t doing the best. I must admit. It wasn’t the first run in with disaster Double Rainbow and I had had. There was one other time before the Canterlot Wedding event. It was where I first met my Double Rainbow. Double Rainbow was born and grew up in a city called Ponyburg, but his family came for a smaller pony tribe in Equestria, which was why he was colored so exotically. Maybe that is why I found him so erotic. We moved to Ponyville, my hometown, after the accident together. We seen each other first at a bowling alley in the center town between Bucktown and Ponyburg. We never talked but seen each other. It was a bowling meet up for ponies who liked rainbows. Double Rainbow apparently had a crush on me and so did I have a crush on him. One day we met at one of Bucktown’s beaches. We ended up talking to each other. The first date was I going to Double Rainbow’s place. We eat pizza off the same plate together. Double Rainbow was kind and always helping other ponies at his own expense, believing in Karma and that it was his sole responsibility to save ponies by doing good deeds daily. Things from there went on. I have had mates before, but he was the first to try and take care of me, realizing that he had his own fall shorts that I disapproved of. The business was not profitable, but since it was a new town and it was the only spa in town, profits were slowly coming in. I lived upstairs above the spa. Double Rainbow was over when the fire took place. Then one night a wildfire broke out on the outskirts in the new construction zones. When Oopsy Daisy caused the fire incident, The Rainbow Spa, I witnessed it destroyed by flames and an explosion. “Fuck! My spa! No!” I shouted enraged as I watched it be destroyed. The rest of the town burned. There was nothing that could have been done. I left and moved in with Double Rainbow for a little while in Ponyburg. Bucktown and Ponyburg were about an hour walk away from each other. Then we decided to move to Ponyville due to its location and ease of traveling, besides it being my hometown. The townsfolk seemed nice when we visited too. Then the Canterlot Wedding tragedy took place. It was so god damn unfair. First I lost everything I owned. But gained eternal love, so I recovered. But then I lost the only other thing I had, true love. By that I really did lose the only thing I had left. What else was I supposed to do? Using Double Rainbow’s Book of Shadows that he had entitled, “Rainbow Storm,” I raised the dead innocent ponies, but didn’t have the heart to disturb my lover. I wanted to, but was scared. I felt with time the zombie ponies could help me, after I helped them reacclimate back into society, with my lover. No one knows how one will react once they have be returned to the living, especially with less than desirable deaths. I hoped that after I raised him I would receive his love again even though he was different and I had changed. He did still love me, but he had changed as well. Our love was still strong. Hypothetically, it was all we needed. My oldest saying was, “Rise to the challenge.” And I did that. I became everything I wanted to be for the most part. Not everything worked out in life. “Master the Game.” Was my new phrase. I had learned from Double Rainbow to to reform all the evils of Equestria. My traps were better than Double Rainbow’s. I would save Equestria. I would succeed in this endeavor. I, Rainbow Moon, stated, “Balance must be restored.” I have been reformatted. I will carry out my dead mate’s quest. All the villains that have plagued Equestria will be slain for their evil. It will be retribution. Now was time for retribution against all the villains that have attacked Ponyville and Equestria. I was on a mission. Chapter 5 EnslavementThe dark cave was wet and only lit by candles. The smell of pumpkin overwhelmed the senses. The cave was near the Crystal Empire. The cave entrances were nowhere in sight. It was here my plans would begin to come to fruition. To my left was a chained crystal pony but to my right was a villain. The moment was now for him to get what he deserved. His name was King Sombra. He was chained by barbed wire, specifically his front hooves and around his neck, blood coming from the penetrating barbs. In the middle of the room was the cherished crystal heart of the crystal ponies. It gave form to Sombra, which was why I “borrowed” it. I temporary had to steal the crystal heart to bring Sombra to flesh form, since his normal form was a shadow. It wasn’t long before my sleep spell wore off. My protection spell was cast to nullify Sombra’s powerful magic. King Sombra woke first violently. He was shouting obscenities and trying to break free from his chains using magic and brute force. It was the ruckus that Sombra made that awakened the terrified crystal pony, my witness to these glorious events. The chains were just metal bound around the crystal pony’s neck and not hurtful. It was then Sombra’s gaze turned to the shinning crystal heart in the center of the room, his eyes enlarging with lust. I made my presence known now by walking forward, my hooves clopping on the cave floor, and I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you King Sombra, I know everything. You enslaved the crystal ponies binding their front hooves and heads in the same manner you are imprisoned at the moment. You enslaved the ponies for a feeling of possession. Your craving to possess slaves is why you are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” It was then I approached him with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating with my magic. Sombra tried to squirm away, but it only caused him more pain. I used the blade to cut off his hooves just above his barbed wire shackles. He roared in pain, trying to attack me, but I kept my distance. I could see the rage build in his eyes. I looked into them before I began cutting his head off from below the neck binding starting on the back of the neck. It wasn’t long before the head was severed and fell to the ground with a thud. Blood pooled on the floor. King Sombra was dead. I turned to the horrified crystal pony. I informed, “You’re my little pony. I have a job for you, my witness.” A large sack levitated in the air and I floated the crystal heart and Sombra’s severed head into it. I dropped it before the crystal pony. I added, “Take the head of King Sombra and the Crystal Heart back to the Crystal Empire. Give it to Princess Cadance.” I pulled a key out of my mane using magic and gave it to the frightened crystal pony as I disappeared into a flash of rainbow light, transporting me to my next destination. I knew the pony would not let me down. Chapter 7 DominationTwo weeks later, the moment was ready again. The dark cave was only lit by candles. The smell of mistletoe permeated the cave. The cave was near Ponyville. The cave entrances was no where in sight. The plan continues. To my left was a chained worker pony but to my right was a monster. This creature was about to meet justice. His name was Tirek. He was chained by barbed wire, specifically his hooves, hands, and around his neck. My sleep spell dissipated. My protection spell was cast to overpower Tirek’s powerful magic. Tirek woke up first and struggled against the painful wire. He remained silent looking at the situation trying to determine what was going on. He tried to get free from his chains using magic and moderate force. The work pony awoken shortly later. The worker pony was angry about the situation he was in. The worker pony, my witness to these delicious events. The chains were just metal bound around the worker pony’s neck and not hurtful. I made my presence known now by walking forward, my hooves clopping on the cave floor, and I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you Tirek, I know everything. You wish to dominate the world. You steal other’s powers, thereby taking their identities, knowing that you will be the dominate creature on the planet. This is why you were handcuffed with a lengthy chain and imprisoned in a cage. You stole ponies’ identities and their life force this is why you are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” It was then I approached him with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating with my magic. Tirek tried to break away, but it only caused him more pain. I used the blade to cut off his legs from the hips as well as his arms from the shoulders. He roared in pain, trying to get free, but to no avail. I could see the rage build in his eyes. I looked into them before I began cutting his head off from the bottom of where the neck attached to the body going from the front of the neck to the back of the neck. It wasn’t long before the head was severed and fell to the ground with a sickening slap. Tirek was dead. I turned to the upset worker pony. I informed, “You’re my little pony. I have a package for you to deliver, my witness.” I used my magic to put Tirek’s head into a cardboard box and threw it in front of him. I added, “Take the head of Tirek back to Ponyville. Give it to Princess Twilight.” I pulled a key out of my mane using magic and gave it to the upset pony as I disappeared into a flash of rainbow light, transporting me to my next destination. I knew the pony would follow through with this request. I made sure that the events occurred two weeks apart. I went after the previous villains of Equestria, but slaughtered them in non-trap fashion. After the murder of the villain, I knew the witness pony would meet with the authorities. I made them witness and bear testimony to the gruesome crimes. Now was phase two of my plan. Chapter 8 Hoof To HoofThe season was in full swing. Snow fell like rain carpeting Equestria in a sheet of white with ice accenting the natural beauty of the seasonal changes. Phase two of the scheme was about to begin. Princess Celestia was in the Canterlot Castle in her throne room. All of a sudden a fog rolled into the chamber. She immediately knew something was up and had a pretty good idea who it was. Out of the smoke I appeared in form. Celestia sprung up from her throne and barked, “Guards!” Three members of the solar guard attacked me. I summoned rainbow tentacles to restrain them. “Spare me the pleasantries, princess.” I stated and added, “I’m not here for violence. I am here for the salvation of Equestria. I come in peace.” “What do you want, Rainbow Moon?” Celestia ordered. “I seek the creature known as Discord.” I said. “Where might I find him?” Celestia with authority stated, “So you can do to him what you did to the others. I don’t think so. Discord has changed, he does not deserve the punishment you inflicted upon the other villains.” “Oh, well. If you won’t bring him to me, then I’ll have to get him to come to me. I’m pretty sure I know one pony who he would come for,” I commented. I disappeared into a rainbow portal, vanishing. The tentacles receded back into the holes they came from untangling the royal guards. Celestia ordered the guards, “Find Discord and bring him to me. Now!” The guards scattered. I was sitting on a wooden chair talking with Fluttershy in her hut having tea when Discord appeared out of nowhere. Obviously, he was concerned and rode in on a white horse. There was no doubt in my mind that Princess Celestia had filled his mind with the notion that I was gonna go after Discord and Princess Luna who used to be Nightmare Moon in the same way I went after Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek, but nothing was further from the truth. Celestia probably also informed Discord that since she wouldn’t help me find him then I would find his loved ones and go after them until he finds me. Celestia had no doubt informed Discord who responded to Fluttershy’s hut. It was just a friendly meeting with her, just as planned, even though she knew who I was and what I did. “Ah, Discord, my friend, there you are in the flesh.” I stated. Discord, upset and ready to take me on, informed, “Fluttershy is my only friend. Celestia wants you incarcerated.” Fluttershy stated, “Oh, its ok, Discord. I’m okay. Although when Rainbow Moon first appeared from a fog, I was scared, but he just wanted to talk to me.” Discord asked, “Are you sure you’re ok, Fluttershy?” “I’ve never been better.” Fluttershy replied. “As a matter of fact, he’s been telling me all about his plan. That’s what we were talking about. I don’t really agree with it, but you should hear him out It’s quite fascinating, but scary.” Discord eyeballed me and said, “Ok, Rainbow Moon. You wanted this meeting. What is it?” I stated, “I am here to discuss business with you and the salvation of Equestria.” I slyly added approaching him, “I don’t suppose you’ve ever heard of the Elements of Disharmony?” Discord inquired, “Elements of Disharmony?” I said, “I didn’t think so.” I continued, “There’s a counterbalance to everything in nature. So, if there are Elements of Harmony to cause peace, then there are, theoretically, hypothetically Elements of Disharmony to cause disaster, doom, and war.” I paused for a moment and Discord added, “I’m listening.” I informed, “You see the Elements of Harmony have opposites to them. Just like the Elements of Harmony, there are six Elements of Disharmony. Fluttershy, here, represents the Element of Kindness. So it’s inverse would be the Element of Hatred like Tirek. Rarity who represents the Element of Generosity, Queen Chrysalis is ideally the representation of the Element of Selfishness its opposite. If Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter or comedy, then the counter element would be of Tragedy, or in other words, the sadness and depression as represented by King Sombra for the pain he inflicted on other ponies. Applejack is the Element of Honesty, so it’s negative is the Element of Lies who is identified though Trixie who was reformed. Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty, so its opposite is the Element of Betrayal as referenced to Nightmare Moon or as everypony calls her now Princess Luna, she was also reformed. The Element of Chaos equates to the Element of Magic, you. Have I wetted your appetite yet?” Fluttershy inquired, “But wouldn’t the Elements of Disharmony destroy Equestria, especially when they battle with the Element of Harmony bearers?” I added, “Not if all the bearers were reformed villains who pledge their loyalty to Princess Celestia and the protection of Equestria.” Discord, knowing what I did the past six weeks, asked, “What about, Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek? What happened with them?” I informed, “Oh, that. Some creatures need to discover the errors of their ways by a more radical process than the simple reforming that Trixie, Princess Luna, and yourself were exposed to. They cling to their evil and needed to be broken down before they could be rebuilt. In a similar process that Double Rainbow punished evil ponies for victimizing other innocent ponies, I have ensured their actualization of their wrongdoings. But where Double Rainbow failed to reform anyone, my methods are more advanced to ensure success. They have learned their lesson and once resurrected from the grave using the zombie spell, they will see things in a different light.” Discord, curious, asked, “What makes you so sure that they have learned their lesson and become good?” I barked, “It will work. It worked with all the others.” Discord knew it was a potential lie. Rainbow Moon killed the three ponies not like Double Rainbow did. It was pure murder what Rainbow Moon did. Although from his point of view Rainbow Moon did do the ponies of Equestria a favor by killing Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek. Discord insisted and asked, “What if they aren’t reformed?” I replied, “It is ponyly possible. I guess. But if under the rare circumstance they aren’t reformed, there will still be the pony reformed three. Trixie, Luna, and yourself who are reformed could convince them to change or to stop them from their evil ways. Not to mention, the Elements of Harmony are rainbow powered now. The other three of the Element of Disharmony bearers would be allies and aid of the Element of Harmony bearers to bring them to heel.” Fluttershy said, “The other three villains would be outnumbered, but it could still be disastrous. That’s be like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. We should think about this. I mean, let’s not put the cart before the horse.” Discord added, “I don’t know. I should run this by Twilight first.” I had no problem with this an expected it, so I said, “Go ahead. Just don’t keep me wait too long.” Discord chided, “What makes you so sure I or we will help you?” I climaxed, “Because it is your destiny. It is your birthright. Princess Celestia knew this day would come. She knew about the existence of the Elements of Disharmony, which is one of the reasons why she needed to reform you and her sister. Would Princess Celestia or yourself rather some otherpony who isn’t reformed to get their hooves on it? You owe it to Fluttershy as her friend to do whatever it takes to keep Equestria safe. If you don’t help me then I will just have to go with some other pony who is less qualified or perhaps trustworthy. Besides, you’ve always wanted to be more like Twilight and her friends. If you bear the Element of Disharmony you will be closer to that goal, that I promise.” Laughed a little, “This is going down with or without you. I’d personally prefer it to be in the possession of a pony or creature who can be trusted and wants a better Equestria than one who may not have such wishful thinking. If you and the other don’t, other ponies will eventually. This will result in a disastrous battle far worse than attempting to make this plan work. The ensuing battle of the Element of Harmony bearers and the Element of Disharmony wearers would destroy this entire planet. The advantage is that I know where they are. I know the location to the Tree of Disharmony. Well, technically, Double Rainbow did, but he has given me that information.” I ended, “I will be waiting for you and the others to meet up with me at my lair in Ponytown to seal the deal. It is located in the heart of the Everfree Forest near Death Lake. The lake known infamously for all the drowned ponies that have died there.” I departed in a flash of rainbow light saying, “Everything in Equestria has been leading to this.” I warped to my castle. I revealed my plans to use the reformed ponies to acquire the Elements of Disharmony, so instead of two clashing forces which would destroy Equestria, they would be able to work together to make it invincible from evil threats. I doubted the villains I slain would betray. But if they did, the damage would not be as bad as if all the Element of Disharmony ponies were against them. No doubt they would reluctantly agree to this. They had no choice. Chapter 9 The RebirthIt was a gloomy day full of clouds killing out the sun. The ponies marched through the snow forward. The pony investigation team arrived at the mechanical and maniacal fortress of Rainbow Moon. They were impressed with its design, obviously but cautious knowing that Rainbow Moon was infamous for death traps. The group consisted of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Princess Twilight and her five friends, Night Wish, Victor, Trixie, and Discord. They did not trust Rainbow Moon at all and wondered if there was an ulterior motive besides the protection of Equestria. I could sense the magic of the alicorns approaching and deactivated all the traps allowing them safe passage into my throne room where I awaited them. It wasn’t long before they navigated the labyrinth like maze to get to me. “Welcome to my home. Good, you’re all here. So do you all see it my way?” I asked. Princess Celestia responded, “We will go along with your plan. But you will be held responsible for any damages done and pony lives lost.” I smiled as I felt giddy on the inside. “Then let’s get the show on the road.” I barked. Instantly, a rainbow light flashed throughout the room and all of us were transported to a small secret cemetery where Princess Celestia had laid the slain villains to rest in peace. The tombstones were unmarked, but I know who laid beneath my hooves. Some of the ponies were impressed with my magic, others thought that I may have been showing off, but it was clear they did not let their guard down. I stood before the graves. I looked back at the group. “Today, Equestria will be saved from the villains of the future by the evil ponies of the past. The peace of Equestria begins now!” I barked. My horn lit up with rainbow colors as the zombie spell was cast. In a moment, the deceased King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek arose from their tombs with shouts, their amputations sewn back on. They stood before me, possibly a little upset. “My soldiers of reformed villains. I have shown you the errors of your ways and brought about the consequences of them to you. But now, I have given you new life to be repentant. You shall save Equestria from danger. You shall be their saviors. Do you understand?” I informed. The three villains looked at each other and then at the crowd of ponies. They nodded with agreement to each other and then to me. With another rainbow flash all of us were warped to the Tree of Disharmony located in its own cave. The tree resembled the Tree of Harmony, but was located on the opposite side of the planet. The tree also grew upside down from the ceiling to the floor. The elements were in their places untouched. I walked forward to the tree and turned around to face the crowd that was following me. “Princess Luna, Discord, Trixie, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek. Step forward and claim your Elements of Disharmony.” I stated. They stepped forward and approached the tree who recognized that they did represent the elements. With firework like beauty, the elements claimed their owners. In a moment it was done. “Stomp your hooves as hard as you can ponies for the new saviors of Equestria.” I shouted. Pinkie Pie was the only one who clopped her hooves on the ground and cheered. Then Fluttershy clopped her hooves together and said for Discord, “Yay.” The main 6 stood opposite of the other main six, posed to battle if anything went wrong. “Now, everything is complete. Now with Princess Twilight leading the main six and Discord in charge of the other main six, Equestria will no longer have to worry about anymore nightmares.” I informed. Discord stated, “Oh yes. But now that that’s over.” Discord looked at his team, specifically Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek, and stated, “As a sign of your reformation and loyalty to the Alicorns of Equestria, you must first prove yourself by apprehending Rainbow Moon.” “What?” I barked. Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek were more than willing to oblige, since I was the pony who killed them. Luna and Trixie were heading my way as well. I was cornered between Twilight with her friends and Discord with his gang. I was screwed. “Traitors!” I shouted. I tried to use my horn to warp away, but they were too fast. A horn blast came from Queen Chrysalis and hit me in the horn stunning it temporarily. A brief battle ensured but I was outnumbered and surrounded. It only lasted a few moments. I was knocked to the ground and beaten for a moment before Discord interviewed on my behalf. Discord chided, “Let’s put this horse out to pasture.” I was then shackled like a caught animal and caged deep in Canterlot Castle much to Princess Celestia’s delight. My plan had backfired on me. Well played Princess Celestia. Chapter 10 Safe At LastThe night was windy and chilly. Snow still fell from the sky as layer upon layer of white blankets began to pile up and make the snow higher. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked out over Canterlot from the balcony of their castle. They had spent the last few hours debating the occurrences as of recent. Rainbow Moon, formally known as, Rainbow Heart was finished along with Double Rainbow his dead lover. However, they would need to keep an eye on their recently reformed villain “friends.” They also didn’t know how the Elements of Disharmony could affect their previous reformed ponies, Luna included. It was relieving to know that Equestria might finally be safe at last. The zombie ponies Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek were in another house in Canterlot, given to them as a temporary residence and surrounded by royal guards. They looked out the window piercing through the snow and staring at the balcony with the two princesses on it. The three were discussing an overthrow in a coup. Chrysalis stated, “These fools have made us more powerful then we have ever been.” Sombra asked, “How long do we wait to bring down the alicorn rulers?” Tirek stated, “We’re gonna play the ponies, but we mustn’t change horses in midstream. We will do it on Hearth’s Warming Day. It will be here soon. The Leaders of Equestria will be at their weakest then and they will be spread out. It will not be expected. They will be too busy with their celebrations to foresee this coming. Many of the royal guards will be on leave with their families. The coup d’état will be in full swing soon. Then we will all have our revenge on the alicorns and the ponies of Equestria.” Chapter 13 Turn The TideBoth sides were beginning to get exhausted. I was gonna bring in a new wave of power and energy. I saw Princess Twilight getting knocked around by some changelings. I summoned rainbow tentacles to subdue two, but also used a few rainbow blasts to knocked out some, and used a rainbow barrier to protect Twilight from an incoming attack. Twilight uttered, “Rainbow Moon? How did you get out?” I flew to Princess Twilight and said, “Twilight! You forsook the dead like the rest of the other ponies, but in the end you learned that all they wanted was love, attention, and not to be forgotten. You must undue the seal spell you placed on the Stones of Tears. You have remembered, respected, and loved them. They will fight for you and all the ponies of Equestria.” Twilight nodded in agreement and determination. Twilight teleported over to the Stones of Tears. She undid her security spell, raised the dead to those who still had bodies, and summoned the souls of those who didn’t have functioning corpses to animate in spirit form. Therefore, some came in flesh zombie form while others came in ethereal spirit shapes. They aid in evacuating the ponies and fighting the evil three. Meanwhile, I turned my attention to Queen Chrysalis. The villain who was responsible for the loss of my lover. I used magic to turn my horn into a chainsaw, the horn remained the same but rainbow colored energy emanated from it that was sharp chain like blade and rotating. I, lustfully, stated, “Meat,” as I revved up the magical energy chainsaw that my horn had become, the chain blade spinning and making a roaring revving sound. I lowered the weapon, my head with the bladed horn forward, in front of my body, to charge, saying again, “Meat.” I launched at Queen Chrysalis to to battle. She saw me coming and prepared herself. Chrysalis dodged my attack and counted with a buck from her rear legs to my chest as I flew past her. It caused me to roll and temporarily lose control. When I recovered, she floated in front of me. “You’ll have to do better than that, Rainbow Loser.” She chided. “I’m trying, bitch.” I replied. I fired a rainbow beam from my horn that she easily dodged before firing her own at me that I nearly got hit by. Chrysalis informed, “You can’t beat me. I’m an Element of Disharmony bearer.” I was in trouble. Even with Double Rainbow’s power, I was unsure if I could turn the tide and inspire the worn out others. I teleported behind her and jumped on her back. Chrysalis began to buck like a bull or a horse at a rodeo and when that didn’t work, she flew through the air trying to break my grasp. All I had to do was wear her down. Then I had a plan, based on experience that would work. Chrysalis dove under a bridge zooming inches from it. She took a low bridge and I smacked into it. I slid down from the bridge wall and flapped my wings to stabilize. Behind me a green blast struck me, Chrysalis had gotten behind me while I was dazed. I fell. I landed in the ravine below. Chrysalis flew down to the river to ensure my defeat. I fired a rainbow blast out of the water from my horn that struck her in her sewn up chest hitting her heart. She shrieked as she fell back in pain. Now was the moment to capitalize on her situation. I dove out of the water, made a cremator appear behind her, and rammed her into the open end. I quickly shut it, locking it with my magic, and powered it up. I looked through the side window, puling a lever. Queen Chrysalis had turned into Double Rainbow. She looked at me in the same way Double Rainbow had when I cremated him. She said, “I can be your lover. I can be anything you want me to be.” Chrysalis the seductress was trying to flirt with me, knowing that her end was near and she was trying to save her life by bargaining. She put her hoof on the window and I did the same. “We can be happy together. We can rule my changelings together. We can own part of Equestria together.” Chrysalis tempted. “You are a Nightmare Queen. You are a beast. I want nothing to do with you.” I barked. I used magic to increase the machine to maximum power to speed up the process. She screamed in pain and agony as she burned into cremains. After opening the door I attempted to grab the Element of Disharmony, but was blind slighted by a sucker punch from behind, knocking me out. It was Princess Celestia who struck me. The others had seem what I had done and soon implemented the same process on Sombra and Tirek. They were defeated and cremated. Inside the cremains were the three other Elements of Disharmony, which were taken by Celestia. The other three elements will be held by Celestia until suitable replacements could be found. Chapter 14 NowhereI awoke in pain. I could feel it in my wings along with blood dripping down. When I opened my eyes, the scene was blurry and dark, definitely was still the same night after the Battle of Doomageddon. My eyes adjusted and I could see the predicament I was in. I could see the pony in front of me. It was Night Wish. I was put in a trap by Night Wish. My wings were bound with barbed wire and my hooves were cuffed and connected to the wings. No doubt there was a door to exit behind me and there was a rug in front of me between me and her. I had another magic blocker cone strapped to my horn deactivating my magic. I was trapped. What I didn’t know at the time was Princess Luna was hiding nearby to make sure Night Wish was safe. Night Wish stated, “In order for Princess Celestia to accept you, Rainbow Moon, you will have to become Rainbow Heart again and this is the only way. Princess Luna approved of this, if you can pass this trap you will be an Element of Disharmony bearer.” Night Wish further added, “I’m doing this to you because I am your friend. I have to do this to save you, Rainbow Heart. We all still want to be your friends. Friendship is magic.” “With friends like you who needs enemies?” I snapped. “This is the same saw that Double Rainbow used on Drop Zone, the first pony he killed.” Night Wish said creeping forward. I knew what was coming next. There was no point in fighting it. I braced myself for major pain. I was breathing heavily as I shouted in pain unable to move. Night Wish cut off one wing with the rip saw and dropped the bloody blade in front of me making an imprint on the ground. As a result one of my hooves became free. I knew I had to cut the other one off myself. “You know what you need to do.” Night Wish said. “You can do it. I believe in you.” I took the woodcutting blade and used my hoof to sever the other remaining wing. Thereby granting my freedom. I knew at this point it was a carbon copy of Double Rainbow’s trap. No doubt if I were to attack her I’d be harmed by a hidden trap. But if I just left, I should live. After the wing removal and I was free, Night Wish walked forward going halfway the distance between us and stepped onto the rug between us, perhaps trying to prove there wasn’t a trap beneath it, but I knew better, especially if it was designed after Double Rainbow’s traps, saying, “Now you have changed. Come to me and I will save you from this. Meet me halfway and I can save you. We can rebuilt the friendships and trusts you have lost, or you can leave and forsake everything you have tried to do in life for good.” I knew Night Wish was probably lying. I knew there was probably a trap in front of me. Instead of attacking her and activating the potential trap, I turned and left. I, unknowingly, crossed a symbol on the ground engraved with white chalk, not paying attention. I heard a deafening roar from beneath me. I looked below my hooves to see that I was in the center of a magical symbol. The symbol was a triangle, pyramid like, within a circle. I, confused, soon realised and exclaimed, “The seal of revenge!” Night Wish also knew how to do necromancy and basic magic, because of dark her studies into dark side of nature. Night Wish stated, “After you were defeated in Canterlot on Nightmare Night, I did some more in depth studying on dark magic. Princess Luna showed me how to use the symbol. You don’t have to be a unicorn to do simple magic symbols or basic magic.” The symbol was a way to summon spirits or to release souls, especially restless and vengeful ones, remaining in a cemetery. This meant I was at a graveyard. But where. Then it came to me. I was in the building at the Stones of Tears! Spirits began to come through the floor and circle around me. The souls were the victims of Double Rainbow and Rainbow Heart, who they killed. They were looking to get their revenge on both of them, which was easy since together they were both Rainbow Moon. I exclaimed, “What? No, they are reformed. All of them. Why are they attacking me?” Night Wish explained, “Neither Double Rainbow, Rainbow Heart, or yourself, Rainbow Moon reformed anypony. You killed ponies. That’s all you did.” A vortex appeared below my hooves. The ghosts grabbed me and tried to pull me down into the symbol. I was going to be taken into the other life by them. Double Rainbow said in my mind, “I love you and I will protect you from our wrong doings. I will take their vengeance.” In an act of true love, the essence of Double Rainbow, his spirit, took the punishment for their wrong doings and sacrificed himself to save Rainbow Heart. Double Rainbow’s spirit disengaged from Rainbow Moon, returning Rainbow Heart to his former self with his prior injuries but healed with scars in their place. Double Rainbow’s spirit lets go and is swallowed by the ghosts and taken into the symbol. I was still in danger of being sucked into the void. Rainbow Moon’s armor turned back into the rug and was to help save me. I threw half of it like a life preserver donut on a boat and it got snagged on a hook embedded near an unlit lantern by a hole in the rug caused by it covering one of Double Rainbow’s trap, the weave held and did not tear. I pulled myself out of the void that had been created by the ghosts in the symbol and crawled away exhausted and relieved to have been saved. There was no doubt in my mind that Double Rainbow knew this was coming. The void sealed. Night Wish saved me by flying over to me. She wrapped me in the rug the best she could and carried me in her front hooves as she flew away from the scene piercing the dark sky. I muttered, booping her nose on her muzzle, “Best friends always.” Night Wish said, “Friends always.” I fell unconscious in a few moments. Night Wish took me to her cabin to rest and recover. Night Wish knew he was too tired and needed his rest. But he will be okay. It’s all over now. Apparently, Night Wish had only booby trapped the exit. If he would have attacked her, she would have been defenseless. However, there was a rug between her and him. The rug was just for decoration and mental manipulation. Rainbow Moon had speculated it was a carbon copy of Double Rainbow’s Traps and the place would be trapped from him to her. He knew she would not have done what he did and trapped both the rug and the exit. This is why he didn’t worry about it when he departed. However, the above is what was the truth. Night Wish’s trap was designed to rebuild friendship. By coming towards her, he would be embraced with his old friend, if he tried to leave, he would be changed for the better. It was a trap to building friendship and trust. Night Wish’s trap was how you build friendships with those who do not want too. You put them through the test, and then give them a friendly hoof. If they aren’t willing to meet you halfway and embrace a hug of change, then you must force the change as they leave. Both of Double Rainbow and Rainbow Heart had it wrong. This is how you building bridges. This is how you get them to realize the errors of their ways and get them to come to you. Only by them leaving you should you force the change. Chapter 15 Hidden ChapterIt was Heart and Hooves Day. I, Rainbow Heart, visited Double Rainbow’s grave at the Stones of Tears. I was with my new mate a pegasus. Night Wish introduced me to him, who apparently had a crush on me for a while. He was my new love. I have a thing for the pegasi. Night Wish knew it. I’ve known Night Wing, my new love, for a while before I got into a relationship with Double Rainbow, but it was nothing relationship wise, just friends. I would never forget Double Rainbow and what he taught me. Ponytown still remained under my command but quarantined and secured by royal guards. Oh, yes. Equestria will become safe under my command. The moment was not right now, but will be soon. Princess Celestia had given me the Element of Tragedy, cause of all the chaos I had caused over the past few months. It was based on my sadness and depression of losing my lover, my tragedy that became other ponies’ problems. There were only two more shoes that need to be filled, hatred and selfishness. I would find two others to don those Elements of Disharmony. The cremains of King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek were placed in magic sealed and magic repellent urns and buried in their graves that were located in a burial site elsewhere. I could hear Double Rainbow’s voice in his head, “The magic of friendship will never die! One way or another I will return. We will be together again someday. I love you. Til death do us part and beyond. It’ll be sooner than you think.” With Double Rainbow’s Knife in its sheath strapped onto the belt on the saddle I was wearing, I put my hoof on it. There will be more to come. I would be ready to deal with it. I had one ace still up my sleeve, one more card to play. Now I just had to wait and see how things played out. When the moment was right. The lessons of life. Life was meant to live and to move on even though it is hard. In the end, we will all sit around a round table with a buffet of food, enough alcohol to feed a military, and custom music to tame a restless soul. All of us in love will be together and realize it’s not about how many lovers we have had in life but how we treated them. We will meet loved ones, family members, and strangers. We will talk about our feats in life, joke about our mistakes, and will cry about our wrongdoings, because of the harm we have caused others. Even after death. We will meet each other again after the DJ plays the final song. Only in the end will we realize what we did in life and the experiences we learned and the friendships we have gained. Indeed, “The magic of friendship will never die!” Chapter 6 Fake LoveTwo weeks later, I was at it again. The dark cave was dry and only lit by candles. The smell of roses overpowered the natural formation. The cave was near Canterlot. The cave entrances were not in sight. My plan would continue here. To my left was a chained rich upper class pony but to my right was an animal. She would get what she deserved. Her name was Queen Chrysalis. She was chained by barbed wire around all her hooves, wings, and around her neck. The wire was bloody. It wouldn’t be long before my sleep spell wore off. My protection spell was cast to disable Chrysalis’ powerful magic. Queen Chrysalis woke up first being gracefully cautious. She began shouting for help and attempted to carefully break free from her chains using magic and delicate tugs. The cries for help that Chrysalis made woke up the rich Canterlot pony, my witness to these fabulous events. He seemed confused. The chains were just metal bound around the rich pony’s’ neck and not hurtful. I made my presence known now by walking forward, my hooves clopping on the cave floor, and I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you Queen Chrysalis, I know everything. Instead of finding true love to fulfil your needs, you impersonate others and steal their lovers’ love. You steal other’s love to fill your own appetites. You are self-centered, and steal love that does not belong to you. You stole ponies love by deception and damaged relationships which is why you are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” It was then I approached her with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating with my magic. Chrysalis tried to get away, but it only caused her more pain. I used the blade to cut off her horn and wings. She screamed in pain. I could see the panic break out in her eyes. I looked into them before I jammed the knife into her chest and cut out her bad heart. It wasn’t long before the heart came out of her chest and it plopped onto the ground. Blood was splattered everywhere. Queen Chrysalis was dead. I turned to the horrified rich pony. I informed, “You’re my little pony. I have a mission for you, my witness.” I put Chrysalis’ heart into a large sack by hoof. I placed it before the rich pony. I added, “Take the heart of Queen Chrysalis back to Canterlot and give it to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.” I pulled a key out of my mane using magic and gave it to the dumbfounded rich pony as I disappeared into a flash of rainbow light, transporting me to my next destination. I knew the pony would do as I instructed. Chapter 11 DoomageddonThe morning of Hearth’s Warming Day was full of foals opening presents and being with family members. It didn’t take long. An explosion and an alert royal guard sounded the alarm. Equestria’s emergency alarm went off, the horn blasted the deafening emergency tone. Danger was here. The coup was launched. Betrayal from the reformed villains was expected. King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek attacked the Canterlot Castle hellbent on destroying the alicorns once and for all. The epic battle was about to begin. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were the first to arrive with Princess Twilight and her friends arriving shortly later. Trixie and Discord were with them. The epic battle known as Doomageddon had begun. Chapter 12 UnknownNight Wish knew they would need Rainbow Heart’s help if they were gonna stop this. She entered the deep restricted area of the Canterlot Castle. A dark locked room was her destination. She unlocked the door and walked in. In the center of the dark room was a cage wrapped in barbed wire. His hooves and neck were chained by metal shackles. Celestia had put a horse blinder on him to restrict his vision, along with a muzzle to limit his mouth movement, a horn cover to prevent magic from being used, a harness to keep his wings locked together against his body, and they were all connected to each other. “Rainbow Heart?” Night Wish asked. Rainbow Moon looked behind him the best he could not being able to get direct eye contact and replied, “You know that I no longer go by that name. My name is Rainbow Moon.” “Equestria needs your help. It will be destroyed with out it.” Night Wish stated. Rainbow Moon said, “Nothing can save Equestria, I have come to that conclusion. It seems we were all meant to suffer…Besides, I am stuck here. Probably for the best.” The siren still sounded. With an impact to the structure, dust and rocks fell from the walls. “From the sounds of it, Equestrians aren’t doing so well.” Rainbow Moon informed. “They will be destroyed.” “After the villains destroy them, they will come for you.” Night Wish informed. “Maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be.” Rainbow Moon said. Night Wish asked, “Don’t you care? I can help you get back on good terms with everypony. If I release you you must help the others and I will help you become accepted by Princess Celestia and Luna under Luna’s wing of protection.” Rainbow Moon said, “That’s as good as a wink to a blind horse. It’s meaningless. It’s all over for me. End Game. Game Over. The End. Fin. Nothing I do will convince them my intentions were true, pure, and necessary.” Night Wish asked, “Do you still trust me as a friend?” Rainbow Moon remained silent. “I don’t know. How can you possibly still trust me as a friend?” Rainbow Moon stated. “Because I remember the old you. And all of the things you did to help everyone else, including me.” Night Wish barked. Night Wish came around so we could see eye to eye. “Help the others. I promise I will ensure that your status is returned to normal under Princess Luna’s protection.” Night Wish. “Free me.” Rainbow Moon declared. Rainbow Moon was freed by Night Wish.
Chapter 1 The Final PonytrapRainbow Moon, “Balance must be restored.” I, Rainbow Moon, had just finished burying my love’s cremains underground in his tombstone at the Stones of Tears. His name was engraved on it, “Double Rainbow,” with a heart and a rainbow over the heart. It was night now. There wasn’t much time. I needed to get back to the fortress and finish this. I used my horn creating a rainbow portal that I used to warp back to the derelict fort. I returned to the den and got Double Rainbow’s knife. It wouldn’t take long for Roadkill and the mortician, Peaceful Memories to notify the alicorns of what they witnessed. I went down into the dark and dreary dungeon. There I found my next subject. He was an evil pony. I left him in the dungeon part of the fort under the curse of my sleep spell. He would not awaken until I revered it so he was out like a light. I set up the traps using magic and put everything in place. It only took a few seconds. One of his front hooves and one of his back hooves were wrapped in barbed wire that kept him stationary. The only way to be able to leave was to cut off his two hooves. Behind Tracker was the stairs that would lead to fort’s opening. In front of Tracker and between us was a rug, not the special gift rug that I had given to my mate, that turned into my body armor. I activated the counter spell, knowing it would take only a few moments for him to come back to life. The pony in front of me was an investigator for Princess Celestia, the best she had. But even he had skeletons in his closet. He was part of law enforcement, but now he needed to face justice. It was his fate. I will reveal that while Roadkill slept for an hour or so, that is when I snuck out of the area and knocked out Tracker. I knew he would be coming soon and it all worked out perfectly. The pony began to stir. In a moment he stood up. Knowing what had happened. The pony looked at me. I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you Tracker, I know everything. You purposefully hid evidence in the murder case of the griffon, Behind Schedule, who was put to death for Drop Zone’s crimes. You had evidence that Behind Schedule was innocent, but you concealed it. You knew he was, well, behind schedule, with his deliveries and, therefore, could not have been the criminal who was killing innocent ponies. You essentially were one of the ponies who put the griffon to death for lying. You are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” “This is ridiculous! This is impossible! You can’t possibly know what I or any other pony has done or has not done. ” I walked forward with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating in the air like a cloud using magic. I stated, “Let’s have fun. For the thrill of it. Play the game.” Tracker no doubt knew what was coming up next. I went to the front right hoof that was bound with the wire and using the knife cut it off. Tracker screamed in pain and tried to squirm out of the barbed wire’s bind, but couldn’t. I finished the deed and dropped the knife in front of him. After dropping the knife, I said, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. You know what you need to do, so don’t keep me waiting.” “By Celestia.” Tracker stated as he picked up the knife and started chopping away at his rear left hoof, knowing that it was going to be most painful. Tracker finished with the operation and was now free. Tracker knew how the trap worked from investigating Double Rainbow’s crimes. Tracker knew that if he tried to attack the pony in front of him he would die by activating the second trap. Tracker knew that if he just left he would be okay. Tracker painfully retreated heading towards the stairs. It was difficult walking around with diagonal hooves missing. He stepped on a stone that gave way into the floor. The investigator activated the trap. A large sword came out of the floor and impaled him. Looking at me, Tracker shouted, “I was supposed to win this! I learned my lesson.” I, Rainbow Moon, informed, “Both ways were booby trapped. Unlike Double Rainbow’s traps, no pony survives my game.” Then a large axe crashed down from the ceiling decapitating him, resulting in his death. Tracker, horrified, then passed away. I picked up the knife and sheathed it into the appropriate spot in my armor. The rug was just rug from the castle. I donned the rug of my deceased mate and it had that turned into my body armor. Both ways were booby trapped, which was different than my dead mate. But this pony knew the secret of beating the trap, so a better ponytrap had to be made for him, specifically, even though I might have used such an operation before. The though made me chuckle. With Tracker’s trap and death, Double Rainbow’s work was complete. Now all that remained was my tasks.
Chapter 2 Go With The FlowDue to the recent events all of the alicorns and Twilight’s friends were at the Stones of Tears gravesite. It was getting colder with fall departing soon and winter to be in full effect shortly. They had spent the last few days finding and burying dead bodies. Then all of a sudden it just seemed to stop. It was generally believed by Twilight that all of the ponies who were massacred by Double Rainbow had now been buried, or at least that is what she thought. They believed that they had found all of his victims, because no more bodies had appeared. Tracker, Celestia’s prize investigator, still had not been found, but was suspected to be likely dead. Additionally, three other ponies were still missing, named Cold Stone, Oopsy Daisy, and Roadkill. With Tracker missing, Princess Celestia personally wanted to investigate the incidents. Two friends of Rainbow Heart had been summoned to the meeting as well. They were assigned to aid the alicorns, since they were close friends of Rainbow Heart. Night Wish had returned and was with them. Night Wish was an apprentice of Princess Luna. Night Wish was a black and blue pegasus. Her body was black, her mane and tail were black and blue, she had blue tribal tattoo-like accents on her forehead, cheeks, neck, and on her legs. Her cutie mark was a blue shooting star with the tail steak shaped like a crescent moon and lighter blue in color. She had blue eyes. There was also a pony named Victor who had been friends with Rainbow Heart since kindergarten. Victor is a black unicorn with white underbelly and blue eyes. His cutie mark is a ghost. Victor basically looked like a Siberian Husky. Victor and Rainbow Heart were friends since they were foals. Rainbow Heart had given him a job as a security officer at his spa in Bucktown when it existed. They would be crucial in finding Rainbow Heart. Princess Celestia said to them, “Tracker is missing and presumed dead. As a result, I will personally be investigating with all of your help. Stone Cold, Oopsy Daisy, and Roadkill are also still missing. Too many ponies have died. We must bring this to an end. But before we begin looking for clues around here, there’s new information. There is a pony who has witnessed Rainbow Heart. Peaceful Memories, the mortician, has informed me that a unicorn matching Double Rainbow’s description was cremated by a unicorn matching Rainbow Hearts information. However, after the cremation, it seems that Double Rainbow’s soul entered Rainbow Heart’s body and transformed him into an Alicorn. Rainbow Heart as a result changed his name to Rainbow Moon. It’s unclear if Rainbow Moon is still Rainbow Heart or if he is something entirely else. It looks like Rainbow Moon has buried Double Rainbow’s ashes under his Tombstone in his coffin. So, we are going to go over the Stones of Tears and look for any additional clues. Remember to keep in mind that…..” It was then a scream from the nearby forest, “Help me!” Everypony snapped their head to the forest’s edge. It was Roadkill, tired looking, thirsty, and starving. Roadkill was walking forward looking like she was attempting to run but didn’t have the strength to keep it up for more than a few seconds. Everypony ran towards her. They immediately gave her water, food, and checked her for injuries. It was obvious she had her nose cut off. Roadkill exhausted and in a slight daze began to tell her story about what she had witnessed at the Great Fortress. Roadkill was the only pony to have survived one of Double Rainbow’s traps with the aid of Rainbow Heart. They took her to the hospital in Ponyville. They had a new place to search. The Great Fortress.
Chapter 3 The Great FortressAfter the firsthoof accounts of Peaceful Memories and Roadkill, the group went and investigated The Great Fortress. Now the only three ponies that were still missing were as follows: Tracker, Stone Cold, and Oopsy Daisy. It wasn’t long before they found the bodies of all three of them. Stone Cold and Oopsy Daisy were together in the kitchen area. Princess Celestia used a spell to view what happened. Her horn touched the pony on the chest and she had flashbacks of their memories. Like watching a movie, she fast forward to the important parts from time to time, skipping over some of the more useless stuff. Stone Cold and Oopsy Daisy, the two ponies were lovers. They were abducted while having a picnic near Ponyville. Rainbow Heart did these before his transformation into Rainbow Moon. Their deaths were not pleasant to say the least. Celestia saw Rainbow Heart talking to the Stone Cold who had just woken up. Stone Cold was a male and a pegasus. Rainbow Heart said, “…You killed ponies by authorization from Cloudsdale, even though they were only criminals that were sentenced and put to death, this is still wrong. You work at a facility that kills ponies for your own kind’s survival. You claim that it’s just to make money and to provide for your significant other, but secretly deep down you enjoy it. Then you became callus and cold to it like water frozen into ice. You slaughter ponies like cattle…” With another fast forward jolt, Celestia saw Rainbow Heart cut the front right hoof off, and then in a while Stone Cold removing his rear right hoof. They were bound by barbed wire in a masterpiece of artwork display. After that, Stone Cold tried to leave through the exit way without any rage. Stone Cold could barely walk do to both amputations being on the same side. Stone Cold did not attack Rainbow Heart, which would have activated the trap. Rainbow Heart angrily summoned orange tentacles to drag and bring Stone Cold over the trap, which was hidden under a rug from the fortress. Stone Cold obviously resisted, but it was in vain. This resulted in the secondary trap activating and death. A saw blade came up from the ground like a large tree circular blade that cuts wood into lumber. The blade cut the pony from the lower back to the throat. Rainbow Hearts tentacle’s then dressed out, eviscerated, and gutted the pony like a deer. Stone Cold died momentarily. Rainbow Heart enraged shouted, “Fuck! I don’t know what went wrong! This must not happen again!” Stone Cold had been killed in the dungeon. Rainbow Heart then proceeded to take Stone Cold and the pieces of him and relocated him from the premises to the kitchen. Clearly he didn’t want Double Rainbow to find out what he did. Stone Cold was the first killed. Rainbow Heart did the trap in the same method as Double Rainbow. Stone Cold would have survived the trap, based on Double Rainbow’s formula. That was until Rainbow Heart killed him when Stone Cold clearly had followed the conditions. It was clear to Celestia that Stone Cold had a lover to think about and did not care about a personal vendetta or revenge. The only thing Stone Cold cared about was Oopsy Daisy’s best interests. Celestia also checked Oopsy Daisy. This does explains the double trap method Rainbow Heart employed on his lover, the true culprit of Rainbow Heart’s earlier demise. This also explains why he changed from cutting off hooves from the same side of the body and to a diagonal pattern, so that the pony was be able to walk better. The knife appeared to be a hunter’s knife, which was not Double Rainbow’s Knife. Double Rainbow’s knife was highly ornamental and also came with a yin and yang symbol on it. Celestia saw Rainbow Heart talking to the Oopsy Daisy who had just woken up. Oopsy Daisy was a female unicorn. Rainbow Heart said, “…You caused a catastrophe in a town now called Death Town, but it was formally known as Bucktown. It contained beautiful buildings such as Dream Castle, Paradise Estate, the Grand Equestrian Lighthouse, and The Rainbow Spa. Scores of ponies died. Many lived but only you know the truth. You were the one who caused the accident and kept quiet about it knowing that they would never be able to determine who did it. Now it is a ghost town. You were the one that started the fire, the flames consuming all. You were passionate about nature, respecting it and honoring it. You stared the fire in an attempt to stop new construction that would have taken the souls of trees and forcing animals to leave their homes. But what you didn’t know was that it would spread like a wildfire destroying everything…” With another fast forward jolt, Celestia saw Rainbow Heart cut the front left hoof and then Oopsy Daisy had to sever the rear right hoof. They were bound by barbed wire in an intricate design. After that, Oopsy Daisy tried to leave through the exit way without any rage. Like Stone Cold, she did not attack Rainbow Heart. No doubt because she was focused on the love of her life and not the misery she was in. With two traps, one on each side, they were both hidden under rugs from the fortress. One trap was between the pony and Rainbow Heart in case he was attacked and the other was between the pony and the exit, so that if the pony tried to leave. This was murder plain and simple. This resulted in the secondary trap activating and death. Hooks were activated by the trap which tore the skin and hide completely ripping it off of her body in one big piece while she was still alive. Her muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones were showing. Death was shortly afterwards. Oopsy Daisy had been killed in the dungeon and her body with the parts had been removed to the kitchen, so Rainbow Heart could keep an eye on them. There, in the kitchen, Rainbow Heart’s tentacles then tended to her body, preparing it for a delicacy’s he was going to make out of it. It was Oopsy Daisy’s blood and flesh that were used for Rainbow Heart’s Ponffee. It appeared that Rainbow Heart’s Knife, the one that resembled a hunter’s knife, was ceremonially stored in Double Rainbow’s Urn and buried at Double Rainbow’s grave in what used to be his coffin under his tombstone. The question was why these two? Additional historical information Celestia saw from her flashbacks. It was because of Stone Cold, Rainbow Heart felt victimized through him and the need to silence him. In the past in Bucktown, Stone Cold was Rainbow Heart’s number one client for happy endings. Stone Cold made Rainbow Heart’s business profitable, keeping his secrets, while Oopsy Daisy had destroyed it with her ignorance. They ventured down into the dungeon, since the other two had been killed down there. Down in the dungeon they found Tracker also dead. Celestia checked Tracker. Tracker’s death must have been done after Rainbow Heart’s transformation to Rainbow Moon. It was the same double trap method employed on Oopsy Daisy. Rainbow Heart didn’t want to reform them, he wanted to murder them to keep the secrets hidden, meaning these traps were different than Double Rainbow’s. Celestia witnessed what Tracker had witnessed. In regards to Tracker, he was a witness that needed to be eliminated. There was a strange symbol written on the wall. The design specifics of it were as follows. Drawn In blood was a circle. Within the circle was a pyramid with three horns one on each side or it and one from the point of it all in blood. Then drawn in black permanent marker was a sun and moon on each side of the pyramid at the same level. Drawn in chalk below the pyramid was an equal sign and above it was a squiggly line meaning water. Princess Twilight asked, “What is that? What dies it mean?” Celestia interpreted, “It means in ancient pony, ‘balance must be restored.’” Celestia had a pretty good idea what was going on. Rainbow Heart killed two ponies one who wronged him and one that knew all his dirty secrets. He had also killed Tracker to finish Double Rainbow’s mission. Now what was Rainbow Heart, or Rainbow Moon, going to do? Additionally, he always had made the victims lose one front hoof and one back hoof, making it near impossible to run away and escape, but also separating his crimes from Double Rainbow’s. Double Rainbow and Rainbow Heart, their modus operandi were different, making the differences between the two as clear as daylight. In regards to Double Rainbow’s traps, all of the traps after the third death were the same. The only pony who didn’t have his hooves bound while having to cut off a part of their body was Drop Zone, the first victim to Double Rainbow. The second trap was different than the others too. Cookie Dough had to remove both body parts before his hooves would be freed, which is why he had to use magic and couldn’t use his hooves when he had to cut himself free of the device. Double Rainbow was trying to perfect the process. After that, all ponies had two of their hooves bound which were attached to the room in some fashion when they had to remove their two body parts, which were also connected to the same barbed wire and would release tension on the hooves once one of the parts were severed. The exception to that rule was unless it was just the hooves themselves that were to be sacrificed, in which case it was either both the front hooves or both the back hooves. Then it was the hooves that were bound and secured to a decorative web of barbed wire to a surface of the room somewhere. All of the traps were overly decorated with barbed wire for show and effect. Things were beginning to make sense. The investigation concluded that although Rainbow Heart’s attempts were similar to the rest, the victims were leaving and exiting. They should have survived these traps. They had succeeded where the others had failed in Double Rainbow’s devices. This was mainly due to the victims who were selected by Rainbow Heart. It also appeared that Rainbow Heart’s derangement only came in waves and he was pretending to be sick the rest of the time. Rainbow Heart must have done these things while Double Rainbow was away performing his own crimes, trying to be like his lover. However, Rainbow Heart may have still been suffering from his afflictions while performing these traps, so he may not have been entirely in his stable mind. Rainbow Heart had apparently lied when he said Double Rainbow brought the one pony corpse home. It was Rainbow Heart who had performed that act. So he killed three ponies. The key to figuring this out was Tracker’s Trap with two traps. Princess Celestia was on to Rainbow Moon’s game.
Chapter 4 ReflectionIn the heart of the Everfree forest a fog appeared. It was Rainbow’s Moon’s camouflage that proceeded him wherever he went. It was here he looked into his reflection from a river of water. I looked deeply into myself and my soul. I was not alone in my body. I was one with my lover forever now. The past was behind me, the present was here, and the future was in front of me. Now was the moment for me to save Equestria once and for all. Using Alicorn magic, I materialize a town out of nowhere. It was Double Rainbow’s ultimate magic power. I created a town named Ponytown with my own my castle. Rainbow Moon’s Lair, my castle. It was a highly mechanized city with traps set all over. Some of it looked like rusty metal with gears and was highly mechanical. Some of the parts were old and rusty, some of the pieces were brand new, and all of the components were working together as a whole. There was barbed wire all over. It was created by magic. In my machine castle there were deadly traps. Large piston, cylindrical like traps smashing up to the ceiling and others crushing down into the ground on a rhythmic flow, specifically synchronized. Besides the pistons were, large circular saw blades, chainsaw like blades, razor blades, axe like blades designed to chop, rectangular crushing metal blocks in a machine like design to squash ponies besides the cylinders, and large knife blades designed to slaughter anypony unwelcome into my castle, The Machine Castle. There were many other traps, technically, the palace was one large trap with all sorts of blade traps. I designed the castle with my own spa and fashion design rooms. There were also ponnequins (mannequins), various dress forms, different models of pony anatomy, massage tables, massage chairs, sewing machines, and all the other equipment and items needed for my personal pleasures and passions. The castle itself was my new home. I planned to turn this machine city into a location on the map of Equestria, named Ponytown. My town may be a one-horse town now at the moment, but it will become fully populated soon with the Elements of Disharmony bearers living here. They would draw all the dark ponies here to study and use their gifts, their talents for good. I entered my fabulous palace and sat, resting on my throne. I was still Rainbow Heart, but I was now Double Rainbow powered. Now, his thoughts were mine and my thoughts were his. We knew everything about each other. It was me and my kindred spirit now intertwined forever. I remembered all the good times and the bad times. I went over everything in my mind that has happened so far in my life. The reflections were of my former self Rainbow Heart and all that had happened in my life up to Tracker’s death. I remembered how I got my cutie mark. It did not symbolize gay love per say. It was meant to show my love and kindness, but also my acceptance of diversity of everypony. It did not mean I was every gay pony’s love toy. It appeared when I realized I was full of love, kindness, and accepted everypony for who they were. I was born in Ponyville. I moved to a new town being built named Bucktown. I started a spa named The Rainbow Spa. I moved there to fill the relaxation needs to the town without a spa. The town had a large lake and downtown was built on it. My spa was on the outskirts of the town where it was the cheapest to find real estate. The building was a dump, but it was my dump. The best I ever had done was use my magic to brainwash ponies, usual between fighting lovers to rekindle their love. The worst I had ever done was us my magic to brainwash rich ponies who were stingy on their tips in order for them to give me more money. As a result of my brainwashing spell, they’d give me more money. I mean, come on. A five bit tip by someone wearing $2000 bits worth of fashion clothing was being stingy and unreasonable, in my opinion. Sometimes for the right client, mare or stallion, I would summon my orange tentacles, using my tentacle spell, for a happy ending, but who hasn’t in the spa field. I admit, I gave a few ponies happy endings to their massages. So what, it was the tentacles touching the private parts and not me. I really needed the money to run the business which wasn’t doing the best. I must admit. It wasn’t the first run in with disaster Double Rainbow and I had had. There was one other time before the Canterlot Wedding event. It was where I first met my Double Rainbow. Double Rainbow was born and grew up in a city called Ponyburg, but his family came for a smaller pony tribe in Equestria, which was why he was colored so exotically. Maybe that is why I found him so erotic. We moved to Ponyville, my hometown, after the accident together. We seen each other first at a bowling alley in the center town between Bucktown and Ponyburg. We never talked but seen each other. It was a bowling meet up for ponies who liked rainbows. Double Rainbow apparently had a crush on me and so did I have a crush on him. One day we met at one of Bucktown’s beaches. We ended up talking to each other. The first date was I going to Double Rainbow’s place. We eat pizza off the same plate together. Double Rainbow was kind and always helping other ponies at his own expense, believing in Karma and that it was his sole responsibility to save ponies by doing good deeds daily. Things from there went on. I have had mates before, but he was the first to try and take care of me, realizing that he had his own fall shorts that I disapproved of. The business was not profitable, but since it was a new town and it was the only spa in town, profits were slowly coming in. I lived upstairs above the spa. Double Rainbow was over when the fire took place. Then one night a wildfire broke out on the outskirts in the new construction zones. When Oopsy Daisy caused the fire incident, The Rainbow Spa, I witnessed it destroyed by flames and an explosion. “Fuck! My spa! No!” I shouted enraged as I watched it be destroyed. The rest of the town burned. There was nothing that could have been done. I left and moved in with Double Rainbow for a little while in Ponyburg. Bucktown and Ponyburg were about an hour walk away from each other. Then we decided to move to Ponyville due to its location and ease of traveling, besides it being my hometown. The townsfolk seemed nice when we visited too. Then the Canterlot Wedding tragedy took place. It was so god damn unfair. First I lost everything I owned. But gained eternal love, so I recovered. But then I lost the only other thing I had, true love. By that I really did lose the only thing I had left. What else was I supposed to do? Using Double Rainbow’s Book of Shadows that he had entitled, “Rainbow Storm,” I raised the dead innocent ponies, but didn’t have the heart to disturb my lover. I wanted to, but was scared. I felt with time the zombie ponies could help me, after I helped them reacclimate back into society, with my lover. No one knows how one will react once they have be returned to the living, especially with less than desirable deaths. I hoped that after I raised him I would receive his love again even though he was different and I had changed. He did still love me, but he had changed as well. Our love was still strong. Hypothetically, it was all we needed. My oldest saying was, “Rise to the challenge.” And I did that. I became everything I wanted to be for the most part. Not everything worked out in life. “Master the Game.” Was my new phrase. I had learned from Double Rainbow to to reform all the evils of Equestria. My traps were better than Double Rainbow’s. I would save Equestria. I would succeed in this endeavor. I, Rainbow Moon, stated, “Balance must be restored.” I have been reformatted. I will carry out my dead mate’s quest. All the villains that have plagued Equestria will be slain for their evil. It will be retribution. Now was time for retribution against all the villains that have attacked Ponyville and Equestria. I was on a mission.
Chapter 5 EnslavementThe dark cave was wet and only lit by candles. The smell of pumpkin overwhelmed the senses. The cave was near the Crystal Empire. The cave entrances were nowhere in sight. It was here my plans would begin to come to fruition. To my left was a chained crystal pony but to my right was a villain. The moment was now for him to get what he deserved. His name was King Sombra. He was chained by barbed wire, specifically his front hooves and around his neck, blood coming from the penetrating barbs. In the middle of the room was the cherished crystal heart of the crystal ponies. It gave form to Sombra, which was why I “borrowed” it. I temporary had to steal the crystal heart to bring Sombra to flesh form, since his normal form was a shadow. It wasn’t long before my sleep spell wore off. My protection spell was cast to nullify Sombra’s powerful magic. King Sombra woke first violently. He was shouting obscenities and trying to break free from his chains using magic and brute force. It was the ruckus that Sombra made that awakened the terrified crystal pony, my witness to these glorious events. The chains were just metal bound around the crystal pony’s neck and not hurtful. It was then Sombra’s gaze turned to the shinning crystal heart in the center of the room, his eyes enlarging with lust. I made my presence known now by walking forward, my hooves clopping on the cave floor, and I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you King Sombra, I know everything. You enslaved the crystal ponies binding their front hooves and heads in the same manner you are imprisoned at the moment. You enslaved the ponies for a feeling of possession. Your craving to possess slaves is why you are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” It was then I approached him with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating with my magic. Sombra tried to squirm away, but it only caused him more pain. I used the blade to cut off his hooves just above his barbed wire shackles. He roared in pain, trying to attack me, but I kept my distance. I could see the rage build in his eyes. I looked into them before I began cutting his head off from below the neck binding starting on the back of the neck. It wasn’t long before the head was severed and fell to the ground with a thud. Blood pooled on the floor. King Sombra was dead. I turned to the horrified crystal pony. I informed, “You’re my little pony. I have a job for you, my witness.” A large sack levitated in the air and I floated the crystal heart and Sombra’s severed head into it. I dropped it before the crystal pony. I added, “Take the head of King Sombra and the Crystal Heart back to the Crystal Empire. Give it to Princess Cadance.” I pulled a key out of my mane using magic and gave it to the frightened crystal pony as I disappeared into a flash of rainbow light, transporting me to my next destination. I knew the pony would not let me down.
Chapter 7 DominationTwo weeks later, the moment was ready again. The dark cave was only lit by candles. The smell of mistletoe permeated the cave. The cave was near Ponyville. The cave entrances was no where in sight. The plan continues. To my left was a chained worker pony but to my right was a monster. This creature was about to meet justice. His name was Tirek. He was chained by barbed wire, specifically his hooves, hands, and around his neck. My sleep spell dissipated. My protection spell was cast to overpower Tirek’s powerful magic. Tirek woke up first and struggled against the painful wire. He remained silent looking at the situation trying to determine what was going on. He tried to get free from his chains using magic and moderate force. The work pony awoken shortly later. The worker pony was angry about the situation he was in. The worker pony, my witness to these delicious events. The chains were just metal bound around the worker pony’s neck and not hurtful. I made my presence known now by walking forward, my hooves clopping on the cave floor, and I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you Tirek, I know everything. You wish to dominate the world. You steal other’s powers, thereby taking their identities, knowing that you will be the dominate creature on the planet. This is why you were handcuffed with a lengthy chain and imprisoned in a cage. You stole ponies’ identities and their life force this is why you are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” It was then I approached him with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating with my magic. Tirek tried to break away, but it only caused him more pain. I used the blade to cut off his legs from the hips as well as his arms from the shoulders. He roared in pain, trying to get free, but to no avail. I could see the rage build in his eyes. I looked into them before I began cutting his head off from the bottom of where the neck attached to the body going from the front of the neck to the back of the neck. It wasn’t long before the head was severed and fell to the ground with a sickening slap. Tirek was dead. I turned to the upset worker pony. I informed, “You’re my little pony. I have a package for you to deliver, my witness.” I used my magic to put Tirek’s head into a cardboard box and threw it in front of him. I added, “Take the head of Tirek back to Ponyville. Give it to Princess Twilight.” I pulled a key out of my mane using magic and gave it to the upset pony as I disappeared into a flash of rainbow light, transporting me to my next destination. I knew the pony would follow through with this request. I made sure that the events occurred two weeks apart. I went after the previous villains of Equestria, but slaughtered them in non-trap fashion. After the murder of the villain, I knew the witness pony would meet with the authorities. I made them witness and bear testimony to the gruesome crimes. Now was phase two of my plan.
Chapter 8 Hoof To HoofThe season was in full swing. Snow fell like rain carpeting Equestria in a sheet of white with ice accenting the natural beauty of the seasonal changes. Phase two of the scheme was about to begin. Princess Celestia was in the Canterlot Castle in her throne room. All of a sudden a fog rolled into the chamber. She immediately knew something was up and had a pretty good idea who it was. Out of the smoke I appeared in form. Celestia sprung up from her throne and barked, “Guards!” Three members of the solar guard attacked me. I summoned rainbow tentacles to restrain them. “Spare me the pleasantries, princess.” I stated and added, “I’m not here for violence. I am here for the salvation of Equestria. I come in peace.” “What do you want, Rainbow Moon?” Celestia ordered. “I seek the creature known as Discord.” I said. “Where might I find him?” Celestia with authority stated, “So you can do to him what you did to the others. I don’t think so. Discord has changed, he does not deserve the punishment you inflicted upon the other villains.” “Oh, well. If you won’t bring him to me, then I’ll have to get him to come to me. I’m pretty sure I know one pony who he would come for,” I commented. I disappeared into a rainbow portal, vanishing. The tentacles receded back into the holes they came from untangling the royal guards. Celestia ordered the guards, “Find Discord and bring him to me. Now!” The guards scattered. I was sitting on a wooden chair talking with Fluttershy in her hut having tea when Discord appeared out of nowhere. Obviously, he was concerned and rode in on a white horse. There was no doubt in my mind that Princess Celestia had filled his mind with the notion that I was gonna go after Discord and Princess Luna who used to be Nightmare Moon in the same way I went after Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek, but nothing was further from the truth. Celestia probably also informed Discord that since she wouldn’t help me find him then I would find his loved ones and go after them until he finds me. Celestia had no doubt informed Discord who responded to Fluttershy’s hut. It was just a friendly meeting with her, just as planned, even though she knew who I was and what I did. “Ah, Discord, my friend, there you are in the flesh.” I stated. Discord, upset and ready to take me on, informed, “Fluttershy is my only friend. Celestia wants you incarcerated.” Fluttershy stated, “Oh, its ok, Discord. I’m okay. Although when Rainbow Moon first appeared from a fog, I was scared, but he just wanted to talk to me.” Discord asked, “Are you sure you’re ok, Fluttershy?” “I’ve never been better.” Fluttershy replied. “As a matter of fact, he’s been telling me all about his plan. That’s what we were talking about. I don’t really agree with it, but you should hear him out It’s quite fascinating, but scary.” Discord eyeballed me and said, “Ok, Rainbow Moon. You wanted this meeting. What is it?” I stated, “I am here to discuss business with you and the salvation of Equestria.” I slyly added approaching him, “I don’t suppose you’ve ever heard of the Elements of Disharmony?” Discord inquired, “Elements of Disharmony?” I said, “I didn’t think so.” I continued, “There’s a counterbalance to everything in nature. So, if there are Elements of Harmony to cause peace, then there are, theoretically, hypothetically Elements of Disharmony to cause disaster, doom, and war.” I paused for a moment and Discord added, “I’m listening.” I informed, “You see the Elements of Harmony have opposites to them. Just like the Elements of Harmony, there are six Elements of Disharmony. Fluttershy, here, represents the Element of Kindness. So it’s inverse would be the Element of Hatred like Tirek. Rarity who represents the Element of Generosity, Queen Chrysalis is ideally the representation of the Element of Selfishness its opposite. If Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter or comedy, then the counter element would be of Tragedy, or in other words, the sadness and depression as represented by King Sombra for the pain he inflicted on other ponies. Applejack is the Element of Honesty, so it’s negative is the Element of Lies who is identified though Trixie who was reformed. Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty, so its opposite is the Element of Betrayal as referenced to Nightmare Moon or as everypony calls her now Princess Luna, she was also reformed. The Element of Chaos equates to the Element of Magic, you. Have I wetted your appetite yet?” Fluttershy inquired, “But wouldn’t the Elements of Disharmony destroy Equestria, especially when they battle with the Element of Harmony bearers?” I added, “Not if all the bearers were reformed villains who pledge their loyalty to Princess Celestia and the protection of Equestria.” Discord, knowing what I did the past six weeks, asked, “What about, Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek? What happened with them?” I informed, “Oh, that. Some creatures need to discover the errors of their ways by a more radical process than the simple reforming that Trixie, Princess Luna, and yourself were exposed to. They cling to their evil and needed to be broken down before they could be rebuilt. In a similar process that Double Rainbow punished evil ponies for victimizing other innocent ponies, I have ensured their actualization of their wrongdoings. But where Double Rainbow failed to reform anyone, my methods are more advanced to ensure success. They have learned their lesson and once resurrected from the grave using the zombie spell, they will see things in a different light.” Discord, curious, asked, “What makes you so sure that they have learned their lesson and become good?” I barked, “It will work. It worked with all the others.” Discord knew it was a potential lie. Rainbow Moon killed the three ponies not like Double Rainbow did. It was pure murder what Rainbow Moon did. Although from his point of view Rainbow Moon did do the ponies of Equestria a favor by killing Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek. Discord insisted and asked, “What if they aren’t reformed?” I replied, “It is ponyly possible. I guess. But if under the rare circumstance they aren’t reformed, there will still be the pony reformed three. Trixie, Luna, and yourself who are reformed could convince them to change or to stop them from their evil ways. Not to mention, the Elements of Harmony are rainbow powered now. The other three of the Element of Disharmony bearers would be allies and aid of the Element of Harmony bearers to bring them to heel.” Fluttershy said, “The other three villains would be outnumbered, but it could still be disastrous. That’s be like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. We should think about this. I mean, let’s not put the cart before the horse.” Discord added, “I don’t know. I should run this by Twilight first.” I had no problem with this an expected it, so I said, “Go ahead. Just don’t keep me wait too long.” Discord chided, “What makes you so sure I or we will help you?” I climaxed, “Because it is your destiny. It is your birthright. Princess Celestia knew this day would come. She knew about the existence of the Elements of Disharmony, which is one of the reasons why she needed to reform you and her sister. Would Princess Celestia or yourself rather some otherpony who isn’t reformed to get their hooves on it? You owe it to Fluttershy as her friend to do whatever it takes to keep Equestria safe. If you don’t help me then I will just have to go with some other pony who is less qualified or perhaps trustworthy. Besides, you’ve always wanted to be more like Twilight and her friends. If you bear the Element of Disharmony you will be closer to that goal, that I promise.” Laughed a little, “This is going down with or without you. I’d personally prefer it to be in the possession of a pony or creature who can be trusted and wants a better Equestria than one who may not have such wishful thinking. If you and the other don’t, other ponies will eventually. This will result in a disastrous battle far worse than attempting to make this plan work. The ensuing battle of the Element of Harmony bearers and the Element of Disharmony wearers would destroy this entire planet. The advantage is that I know where they are. I know the location to the Tree of Disharmony. Well, technically, Double Rainbow did, but he has given me that information.” I ended, “I will be waiting for you and the others to meet up with me at my lair in Ponytown to seal the deal. It is located in the heart of the Everfree Forest near Death Lake. The lake known infamously for all the drowned ponies that have died there.” I departed in a flash of rainbow light saying, “Everything in Equestria has been leading to this.” I warped to my castle. I revealed my plans to use the reformed ponies to acquire the Elements of Disharmony, so instead of two clashing forces which would destroy Equestria, they would be able to work together to make it invincible from evil threats. I doubted the villains I slain would betray. But if they did, the damage would not be as bad as if all the Element of Disharmony ponies were against them. No doubt they would reluctantly agree to this. They had no choice.
Chapter 9 The RebirthIt was a gloomy day full of clouds killing out the sun. The ponies marched through the snow forward. The pony investigation team arrived at the mechanical and maniacal fortress of Rainbow Moon. They were impressed with its design, obviously but cautious knowing that Rainbow Moon was infamous for death traps. The group consisted of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Princess Twilight and her five friends, Night Wish, Victor, Trixie, and Discord. They did not trust Rainbow Moon at all and wondered if there was an ulterior motive besides the protection of Equestria. I could sense the magic of the alicorns approaching and deactivated all the traps allowing them safe passage into my throne room where I awaited them. It wasn’t long before they navigated the labyrinth like maze to get to me. “Welcome to my home. Good, you’re all here. So do you all see it my way?” I asked. Princess Celestia responded, “We will go along with your plan. But you will be held responsible for any damages done and pony lives lost.” I smiled as I felt giddy on the inside. “Then let’s get the show on the road.” I barked. Instantly, a rainbow light flashed throughout the room and all of us were transported to a small secret cemetery where Princess Celestia had laid the slain villains to rest in peace. The tombstones were unmarked, but I know who laid beneath my hooves. Some of the ponies were impressed with my magic, others thought that I may have been showing off, but it was clear they did not let their guard down. I stood before the graves. I looked back at the group. “Today, Equestria will be saved from the villains of the future by the evil ponies of the past. The peace of Equestria begins now!” I barked. My horn lit up with rainbow colors as the zombie spell was cast. In a moment, the deceased King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek arose from their tombs with shouts, their amputations sewn back on. They stood before me, possibly a little upset. “My soldiers of reformed villains. I have shown you the errors of your ways and brought about the consequences of them to you. But now, I have given you new life to be repentant. You shall save Equestria from danger. You shall be their saviors. Do you understand?” I informed. The three villains looked at each other and then at the crowd of ponies. They nodded with agreement to each other and then to me. With another rainbow flash all of us were warped to the Tree of Disharmony located in its own cave. The tree resembled the Tree of Harmony, but was located on the opposite side of the planet. The tree also grew upside down from the ceiling to the floor. The elements were in their places untouched. I walked forward to the tree and turned around to face the crowd that was following me. “Princess Luna, Discord, Trixie, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek. Step forward and claim your Elements of Disharmony.” I stated. They stepped forward and approached the tree who recognized that they did represent the elements. With firework like beauty, the elements claimed their owners. In a moment it was done. “Stomp your hooves as hard as you can ponies for the new saviors of Equestria.” I shouted. Pinkie Pie was the only one who clopped her hooves on the ground and cheered. Then Fluttershy clopped her hooves together and said for Discord, “Yay.” The main 6 stood opposite of the other main six, posed to battle if anything went wrong. “Now, everything is complete. Now with Princess Twilight leading the main six and Discord in charge of the other main six, Equestria will no longer have to worry about anymore nightmares.” I informed. Discord stated, “Oh yes. But now that that’s over.” Discord looked at his team, specifically Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek, and stated, “As a sign of your reformation and loyalty to the Alicorns of Equestria, you must first prove yourself by apprehending Rainbow Moon.” “What?” I barked. Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek were more than willing to oblige, since I was the pony who killed them. Luna and Trixie were heading my way as well. I was cornered between Twilight with her friends and Discord with his gang. I was screwed. “Traitors!” I shouted. I tried to use my horn to warp away, but they were too fast. A horn blast came from Queen Chrysalis and hit me in the horn stunning it temporarily. A brief battle ensured but I was outnumbered and surrounded. It only lasted a few moments. I was knocked to the ground and beaten for a moment before Discord interviewed on my behalf. Discord chided, “Let’s put this horse out to pasture.” I was then shackled like a caught animal and caged deep in Canterlot Castle much to Princess Celestia’s delight. My plan had backfired on me. Well played Princess Celestia.
Chapter 10 Safe At LastThe night was windy and chilly. Snow still fell from the sky as layer upon layer of white blankets began to pile up and make the snow higher. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked out over Canterlot from the balcony of their castle. They had spent the last few hours debating the occurrences as of recent. Rainbow Moon, formally known as, Rainbow Heart was finished along with Double Rainbow his dead lover. However, they would need to keep an eye on their recently reformed villain “friends.” They also didn’t know how the Elements of Disharmony could affect their previous reformed ponies, Luna included. It was relieving to know that Equestria might finally be safe at last. The zombie ponies Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek were in another house in Canterlot, given to them as a temporary residence and surrounded by royal guards. They looked out the window piercing through the snow and staring at the balcony with the two princesses on it. The three were discussing an overthrow in a coup. Chrysalis stated, “These fools have made us more powerful then we have ever been.” Sombra asked, “How long do we wait to bring down the alicorn rulers?” Tirek stated, “We’re gonna play the ponies, but we mustn’t change horses in midstream. We will do it on Hearth’s Warming Day. It will be here soon. The Leaders of Equestria will be at their weakest then and they will be spread out. It will not be expected. They will be too busy with their celebrations to foresee this coming. Many of the royal guards will be on leave with their families. The coup d’état will be in full swing soon. Then we will all have our revenge on the alicorns and the ponies of Equestria.”
Chapter 13 Turn The TideBoth sides were beginning to get exhausted. I was gonna bring in a new wave of power and energy. I saw Princess Twilight getting knocked around by some changelings. I summoned rainbow tentacles to subdue two, but also used a few rainbow blasts to knocked out some, and used a rainbow barrier to protect Twilight from an incoming attack. Twilight uttered, “Rainbow Moon? How did you get out?” I flew to Princess Twilight and said, “Twilight! You forsook the dead like the rest of the other ponies, but in the end you learned that all they wanted was love, attention, and not to be forgotten. You must undue the seal spell you placed on the Stones of Tears. You have remembered, respected, and loved them. They will fight for you and all the ponies of Equestria.” Twilight nodded in agreement and determination. Twilight teleported over to the Stones of Tears. She undid her security spell, raised the dead to those who still had bodies, and summoned the souls of those who didn’t have functioning corpses to animate in spirit form. Therefore, some came in flesh zombie form while others came in ethereal spirit shapes. They aid in evacuating the ponies and fighting the evil three. Meanwhile, I turned my attention to Queen Chrysalis. The villain who was responsible for the loss of my lover. I used magic to turn my horn into a chainsaw, the horn remained the same but rainbow colored energy emanated from it that was sharp chain like blade and rotating. I, lustfully, stated, “Meat,” as I revved up the magical energy chainsaw that my horn had become, the chain blade spinning and making a roaring revving sound. I lowered the weapon, my head with the bladed horn forward, in front of my body, to charge, saying again, “Meat.” I launched at Queen Chrysalis to to battle. She saw me coming and prepared herself. Chrysalis dodged my attack and counted with a buck from her rear legs to my chest as I flew past her. It caused me to roll and temporarily lose control. When I recovered, she floated in front of me. “You’ll have to do better than that, Rainbow Loser.” She chided. “I’m trying, bitch.” I replied. I fired a rainbow beam from my horn that she easily dodged before firing her own at me that I nearly got hit by. Chrysalis informed, “You can’t beat me. I’m an Element of Disharmony bearer.” I was in trouble. Even with Double Rainbow’s power, I was unsure if I could turn the tide and inspire the worn out others. I teleported behind her and jumped on her back. Chrysalis began to buck like a bull or a horse at a rodeo and when that didn’t work, she flew through the air trying to break my grasp. All I had to do was wear her down. Then I had a plan, based on experience that would work. Chrysalis dove under a bridge zooming inches from it. She took a low bridge and I smacked into it. I slid down from the bridge wall and flapped my wings to stabilize. Behind me a green blast struck me, Chrysalis had gotten behind me while I was dazed. I fell. I landed in the ravine below. Chrysalis flew down to the river to ensure my defeat. I fired a rainbow blast out of the water from my horn that struck her in her sewn up chest hitting her heart. She shrieked as she fell back in pain. Now was the moment to capitalize on her situation. I dove out of the water, made a cremator appear behind her, and rammed her into the open end. I quickly shut it, locking it with my magic, and powered it up. I looked through the side window, puling a lever. Queen Chrysalis had turned into Double Rainbow. She looked at me in the same way Double Rainbow had when I cremated him. She said, “I can be your lover. I can be anything you want me to be.” Chrysalis the seductress was trying to flirt with me, knowing that her end was near and she was trying to save her life by bargaining. She put her hoof on the window and I did the same. “We can be happy together. We can rule my changelings together. We can own part of Equestria together.” Chrysalis tempted. “You are a Nightmare Queen. You are a beast. I want nothing to do with you.” I barked. I used magic to increase the machine to maximum power to speed up the process. She screamed in pain and agony as she burned into cremains. After opening the door I attempted to grab the Element of Disharmony, but was blind slighted by a sucker punch from behind, knocking me out. It was Princess Celestia who struck me. The others had seem what I had done and soon implemented the same process on Sombra and Tirek. They were defeated and cremated. Inside the cremains were the three other Elements of Disharmony, which were taken by Celestia. The other three elements will be held by Celestia until suitable replacements could be found.
Chapter 14 NowhereI awoke in pain. I could feel it in my wings along with blood dripping down. When I opened my eyes, the scene was blurry and dark, definitely was still the same night after the Battle of Doomageddon. My eyes adjusted and I could see the predicament I was in. I could see the pony in front of me. It was Night Wish. I was put in a trap by Night Wish. My wings were bound with barbed wire and my hooves were cuffed and connected to the wings. No doubt there was a door to exit behind me and there was a rug in front of me between me and her. I had another magic blocker cone strapped to my horn deactivating my magic. I was trapped. What I didn’t know at the time was Princess Luna was hiding nearby to make sure Night Wish was safe. Night Wish stated, “In order for Princess Celestia to accept you, Rainbow Moon, you will have to become Rainbow Heart again and this is the only way. Princess Luna approved of this, if you can pass this trap you will be an Element of Disharmony bearer.” Night Wish further added, “I’m doing this to you because I am your friend. I have to do this to save you, Rainbow Heart. We all still want to be your friends. Friendship is magic.” “With friends like you who needs enemies?” I snapped. “This is the same saw that Double Rainbow used on Drop Zone, the first pony he killed.” Night Wish said creeping forward. I knew what was coming next. There was no point in fighting it. I braced myself for major pain. I was breathing heavily as I shouted in pain unable to move. Night Wish cut off one wing with the rip saw and dropped the bloody blade in front of me making an imprint on the ground. As a result one of my hooves became free. I knew I had to cut the other one off myself. “You know what you need to do.” Night Wish said. “You can do it. I believe in you.” I took the woodcutting blade and used my hoof to sever the other remaining wing. Thereby granting my freedom. I knew at this point it was a carbon copy of Double Rainbow’s trap. No doubt if I were to attack her I’d be harmed by a hidden trap. But if I just left, I should live. After the wing removal and I was free, Night Wish walked forward going halfway the distance between us and stepped onto the rug between us, perhaps trying to prove there wasn’t a trap beneath it, but I knew better, especially if it was designed after Double Rainbow’s traps, saying, “Now you have changed. Come to me and I will save you from this. Meet me halfway and I can save you. We can rebuilt the friendships and trusts you have lost, or you can leave and forsake everything you have tried to do in life for good.” I knew Night Wish was probably lying. I knew there was probably a trap in front of me. Instead of attacking her and activating the potential trap, I turned and left. I, unknowingly, crossed a symbol on the ground engraved with white chalk, not paying attention. I heard a deafening roar from beneath me. I looked below my hooves to see that I was in the center of a magical symbol. The symbol was a triangle, pyramid like, within a circle. I, confused, soon realised and exclaimed, “The seal of revenge!” Night Wish also knew how to do necromancy and basic magic, because of dark her studies into dark side of nature. Night Wish stated, “After you were defeated in Canterlot on Nightmare Night, I did some more in depth studying on dark magic. Princess Luna showed me how to use the symbol. You don’t have to be a unicorn to do simple magic symbols or basic magic.” The symbol was a way to summon spirits or to release souls, especially restless and vengeful ones, remaining in a cemetery. This meant I was at a graveyard. But where. Then it came to me. I was in the building at the Stones of Tears! Spirits began to come through the floor and circle around me. The souls were the victims of Double Rainbow and Rainbow Heart, who they killed. They were looking to get their revenge on both of them, which was easy since together they were both Rainbow Moon. I exclaimed, “What? No, they are reformed. All of them. Why are they attacking me?” Night Wish explained, “Neither Double Rainbow, Rainbow Heart, or yourself, Rainbow Moon reformed anypony. You killed ponies. That’s all you did.” A vortex appeared below my hooves. The ghosts grabbed me and tried to pull me down into the symbol. I was going to be taken into the other life by them. Double Rainbow said in my mind, “I love you and I will protect you from our wrong doings. I will take their vengeance.” In an act of true love, the essence of Double Rainbow, his spirit, took the punishment for their wrong doings and sacrificed himself to save Rainbow Heart. Double Rainbow’s spirit disengaged from Rainbow Moon, returning Rainbow Heart to his former self with his prior injuries but healed with scars in their place. Double Rainbow’s spirit lets go and is swallowed by the ghosts and taken into the symbol. I was still in danger of being sucked into the void. Rainbow Moon’s armor turned back into the rug and was to help save me. I threw half of it like a life preserver donut on a boat and it got snagged on a hook embedded near an unlit lantern by a hole in the rug caused by it covering one of Double Rainbow’s trap, the weave held and did not tear. I pulled myself out of the void that had been created by the ghosts in the symbol and crawled away exhausted and relieved to have been saved. There was no doubt in my mind that Double Rainbow knew this was coming. The void sealed. Night Wish saved me by flying over to me. She wrapped me in the rug the best she could and carried me in her front hooves as she flew away from the scene piercing the dark sky. I muttered, booping her nose on her muzzle, “Best friends always.” Night Wish said, “Friends always.” I fell unconscious in a few moments. Night Wish took me to her cabin to rest and recover. Night Wish knew he was too tired and needed his rest. But he will be okay. It’s all over now. Apparently, Night Wish had only booby trapped the exit. If he would have attacked her, she would have been defenseless. However, there was a rug between her and him. The rug was just for decoration and mental manipulation. Rainbow Moon had speculated it was a carbon copy of Double Rainbow’s Traps and the place would be trapped from him to her. He knew she would not have done what he did and trapped both the rug and the exit. This is why he didn’t worry about it when he departed. However, the above is what was the truth. Night Wish’s trap was designed to rebuild friendship. By coming towards her, he would be embraced with his old friend, if he tried to leave, he would be changed for the better. It was a trap to building friendship and trust. Night Wish’s trap was how you build friendships with those who do not want too. You put them through the test, and then give them a friendly hoof. If they aren’t willing to meet you halfway and embrace a hug of change, then you must force the change as they leave. Both of Double Rainbow and Rainbow Heart had it wrong. This is how you building bridges. This is how you get them to realize the errors of their ways and get them to come to you. Only by them leaving you should you force the change.
Chapter 15 Hidden ChapterIt was Heart and Hooves Day. I, Rainbow Heart, visited Double Rainbow’s grave at the Stones of Tears. I was with my new mate a pegasus. Night Wish introduced me to him, who apparently had a crush on me for a while. He was my new love. I have a thing for the pegasi. Night Wish knew it. I’ve known Night Wing, my new love, for a while before I got into a relationship with Double Rainbow, but it was nothing relationship wise, just friends. I would never forget Double Rainbow and what he taught me. Ponytown still remained under my command but quarantined and secured by royal guards. Oh, yes. Equestria will become safe under my command. The moment was not right now, but will be soon. Princess Celestia had given me the Element of Tragedy, cause of all the chaos I had caused over the past few months. It was based on my sadness and depression of losing my lover, my tragedy that became other ponies’ problems. There were only two more shoes that need to be filled, hatred and selfishness. I would find two others to don those Elements of Disharmony. The cremains of King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek were placed in magic sealed and magic repellent urns and buried in their graves that were located in a burial site elsewhere. I could hear Double Rainbow’s voice in his head, “The magic of friendship will never die! One way or another I will return. We will be together again someday. I love you. Til death do us part and beyond. It’ll be sooner than you think.” With Double Rainbow’s Knife in its sheath strapped onto the belt on the saddle I was wearing, I put my hoof on it. There will be more to come. I would be ready to deal with it. I had one ace still up my sleeve, one more card to play. Now I just had to wait and see how things played out. When the moment was right. The lessons of life. Life was meant to live and to move on even though it is hard. In the end, we will all sit around a round table with a buffet of food, enough alcohol to feed a military, and custom music to tame a restless soul. All of us in love will be together and realize it’s not about how many lovers we have had in life but how we treated them. We will meet loved ones, family members, and strangers. We will talk about our feats in life, joke about our mistakes, and will cry about our wrongdoings, because of the harm we have caused others. Even after death. We will meet each other again after the DJ plays the final song. Only in the end will we realize what we did in life and the experiences we learned and the friendships we have gained. Indeed, “The magic of friendship will never die!”
Chapter 6 Fake LoveTwo weeks later, I was at it again. The dark cave was dry and only lit by candles. The smell of roses overpowered the natural formation. The cave was near Canterlot. The cave entrances were not in sight. My plan would continue here. To my left was a chained rich upper class pony but to my right was an animal. She would get what she deserved. Her name was Queen Chrysalis. She was chained by barbed wire around all her hooves, wings, and around her neck. The wire was bloody. It wouldn’t be long before my sleep spell wore off. My protection spell was cast to disable Chrysalis’ powerful magic. Queen Chrysalis woke up first being gracefully cautious. She began shouting for help and attempted to carefully break free from her chains using magic and delicate tugs. The cries for help that Chrysalis made woke up the rich Canterlot pony, my witness to these fabulous events. He seemed confused. The chains were just metal bound around the rich pony’s’ neck and not hurtful. I made my presence known now by walking forward, my hooves clopping on the cave floor, and I said, “I know the past, the present, and the future. When it comes to you Queen Chrysalis, I know everything. Instead of finding true love to fulfil your needs, you impersonate others and steal their lovers’ love. You steal other’s love to fill your own appetites. You are self-centered, and steal love that does not belong to you. You stole ponies love by deception and damaged relationships which is why you are an evil pony. You need to learn how to become a good pony. It means that you have to suffer the consequences from your actions and that your punishment should reflect the wrongdoings you have done.” It was then I approached her with Double Rainbow’s Knife floating with my magic. Chrysalis tried to get away, but it only caused her more pain. I used the blade to cut off her horn and wings. She screamed in pain. I could see the panic break out in her eyes. I looked into them before I jammed the knife into her chest and cut out her bad heart. It wasn’t long before the heart came out of her chest and it plopped onto the ground. Blood was splattered everywhere. Queen Chrysalis was dead. I turned to the horrified rich pony. I informed, “You’re my little pony. I have a mission for you, my witness.” I put Chrysalis’ heart into a large sack by hoof. I placed it before the rich pony. I added, “Take the heart of Queen Chrysalis back to Canterlot and give it to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.” I pulled a key out of my mane using magic and gave it to the dumbfounded rich pony as I disappeared into a flash of rainbow light, transporting me to my next destination. I knew the pony would do as I instructed.
Chapter 11 DoomageddonThe morning of Hearth’s Warming Day was full of foals opening presents and being with family members. It didn’t take long. An explosion and an alert royal guard sounded the alarm. Equestria’s emergency alarm went off, the horn blasted the deafening emergency tone. Danger was here. The coup was launched. Betrayal from the reformed villains was expected. King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Tirek attacked the Canterlot Castle hellbent on destroying the alicorns once and for all. The epic battle was about to begin. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were the first to arrive with Princess Twilight and her friends arriving shortly later. Trixie and Discord were with them. The epic battle known as Doomageddon had begun.
Chapter 12 UnknownNight Wish knew they would need Rainbow Heart’s help if they were gonna stop this. She entered the deep restricted area of the Canterlot Castle. A dark locked room was her destination. She unlocked the door and walked in. In the center of the dark room was a cage wrapped in barbed wire. His hooves and neck were chained by metal shackles. Celestia had put a horse blinder on him to restrict his vision, along with a muzzle to limit his mouth movement, a horn cover to prevent magic from being used, a harness to keep his wings locked together against his body, and they were all connected to each other. “Rainbow Heart?” Night Wish asked. Rainbow Moon looked behind him the best he could not being able to get direct eye contact and replied, “You know that I no longer go by that name. My name is Rainbow Moon.” “Equestria needs your help. It will be destroyed with out it.” Night Wish stated. Rainbow Moon said, “Nothing can save Equestria, I have come to that conclusion. It seems we were all meant to suffer…Besides, I am stuck here. Probably for the best.” The siren still sounded. With an impact to the structure, dust and rocks fell from the walls. “From the sounds of it, Equestrians aren’t doing so well.” Rainbow Moon informed. “They will be destroyed.” “After the villains destroy them, they will come for you.” Night Wish informed. “Maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be.” Rainbow Moon said. Night Wish asked, “Don’t you care? I can help you get back on good terms with everypony. If I release you you must help the others and I will help you become accepted by Princess Celestia and Luna under Luna’s wing of protection.” Rainbow Moon said, “That’s as good as a wink to a blind horse. It’s meaningless. It’s all over for me. End Game. Game Over. The End. Fin. Nothing I do will convince them my intentions were true, pure, and necessary.” Night Wish asked, “Do you still trust me as a friend?” Rainbow Moon remained silent. “I don’t know. How can you possibly still trust me as a friend?” Rainbow Moon stated. “Because I remember the old you. And all of the things you did to help everyone else, including me.” Night Wish barked. Night Wish came around so we could see eye to eye. “Help the others. I promise I will ensure that your status is returned to normal under Princess Luna’s protection.” Night Wish. “Free me.” Rainbow Moon declared. Rainbow Moon was freed by Night Wish.
