The Deadly Three

Act Three

Winter's fist hit at full force, flying towards Chrysalis chest, knocking the wind out of her and her ribs felt like they broke. Her nose was already broken, bleeding, with her leg and arm were impaled by Summer's sword, the unicorn only hit what would hurt the most and not kill her.

Chrysalis wished she could do something, anything. But not only did they outnumber her, plus these were much stronger than her and some of The Power Ponies.

Then there was the fact that they took her horn off, and with her whole Changeling army was able to be taken down and killed. Chrysalis forced herself to stay strong, but it seems these three was getting bored and wanted answers that she started to fear that she didn't have.

"Are you three crazy?" Chrysalis forced out, she didn't know why, all she wanted was answer.

"What? No that's just Autumn" Summer said, pointing with her thumb to the pegasus, who just woke up.

"Huh, w-what?" Autumn question, looking around the room quickly.

"Look we want to know what you are up to, you're the one who sent her own troops to their deaths" Winter said, leading back in her seat, with a raised eyebrow.

“I just wanted to take over the world, before you three, who I don’t even know. Broke in here and killed my Changelings who was just defending me” Chrysalis said, anger fills her voice.

Summer, Winter and Autumn looked at each other with the same look of confusion, the room fell dead quiet.

"Wait did we accidentally save the world?" Summer question, being quite surprised about it.

"So, wait you don't know who Spring is?" Winter question, causing Chrysalis to nod in agreement.

"And then that means you didn't want to kill us" Winter said, saying the last part more slowly seeing their mistake.

"No, now I want to kill all of you three" Chrysalis said, causing Winter to rub her forehead.

"Ya shouldn't have said that, because there's a mare who really pissed off, holding a sword" Winter said, just when she finish Summer cut off Chrysalis head.

Making the blood cover the room, Summer is the closest got more blood on her, while The Queen of the Changelings lifeless body fell to the ground. Summer looked a little disappointed.

"This is my favorite lab coat" Summer said, having not even cared about anything else that happen.

"Summer, that's your only lab coat" Autumn pointed out

"And that's how it's my favorite" Summer said, crossing her arms with a smirk of victory.

"I don't care, look we're were wrong and well..." Winter said, causing Summer to bite her lip.

Winter crossed her arms, looking to the right that happen to let her see the mountains of bodies they left on the floor. While Summer rubbed her head and Autumn just stayed quiet.

“Well, that was something. If Chrysalis is worried about these Power Ponies we should head out before they finally get here” Winter said, looking at Summer and Autumn.

Summer rolled her eye, placing her headphones in while the three made their way off.

Don't you worry

Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride

The world is changing

Right before your eyes

Now I've found you

There's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

Summer cried out in pain at her eye being cut open, the walls began to shake to the confusion of Starlight Glimmer, the pipes running through the walls broke open with the steam pouring out. The ceiling began to collapse.

Piece by piece, Starlight watched two of her Diamond Dogs the unicorn looked at the orange pegasus with a purple mane, codenamed: Autumn. Her eyes somehow changed color to yellow. Her element powers seem to be going out of control with little to nothing that the Diamond Dogs could do to stop her.

If this keeps up, she’ll destroy my castle Starlight thought to herself.

“Autumn!” Summer cried out, causing the insane pegasus to shot a ground spike at her just stopping at her neck.

Summer looked at how close she is to death, her breathing becoming faster by the second. Autumn seem to stop, but the sheer craziness in her eyes showed that she wasn’t going to stay that way for long.

“Look, remember that promise? I’m fine, but I know you're not. I can’t help you unless you stay sane. I know that they hurt you, Winter and me. But you are stronger than to just let your insane side just take over” Summer said,

Autumn seem to blink a few times before her eye color changed back to normal the spike fell along with Autumn, who fell unconscious. Starlight Glimmer watched in silence.

“Take Subject three and Subject two back to their cells” Starlight ordered, causing the Diamond Dog to forced Summer away from Autumn.

Starlight made her way to her office, getting out a needle sticking it in her arm. She closed her eyes in pain at the liquid pouring into her body, a much taller Diamond Dog than the rest of them enter the room.

“How dangerous is Subject Three?” Starlight question, covering up her arm.

“If she went on, she would have destroyed the whole of Equestria” He said, causing Starlight to let out a sigh.

“I can’t let that happen, even if Subject Two calms her down.” Starlight said, her hand on her chin.

“Kill them all!” She ordered causing the tall Diamond Dog to nod.

Summer looked over at the ruin suit, that made Autumn smiled knowing that she never need to wear that ridiculous suit anymore. Summer had her eyebrow raised, looking over the damage that it took.

“Well, fuck me I have to re-make this whole thing again. Straight back to the fucking drawing board!” Summer said, hate filling her voice.

Summer turn to look at Autumn, causing the pegasus to drop her smile. Noticing the look in Summer’s eye telling that she pissed off.

“Just make it twenty percent cooler” Autumn said, placing her hands behind her head.

“Cooler. Right?” Summer said, rolling her eye. “I can make it a little less silly”

Autumn shrugged her shoulders, “Yeah, why not” she said before heading off to her room.

Summer lets out a small sigh, before getting to work with her pen in her right hand.

Autumn walked into her room, turning on the lights, before yelling in shock. Winter stood with her arms crossed at the metal spike getting broken in half when it hit her chest. Winter eyes looked down before returning to Autumn.

“Your lucky that I have an unbreakable coat” Winter said, just when Autumn closed the door.

“What are you doing in here?” Autumn question, taking a seat.

“Well it just, ya need to learn how to fully control your powers” Winter said, causing Autumn to roll her eyes.

“Tell me something I don’t know” Autumn said, making Winter to pause.

“Well if I do then we might be here for a while, you’re not the sharpest tool in the shed” Winter pointed out.

Autumn shook her head, before rubbing the side of her head, then giving Winter a glare.

“Well what if I tell you that I can teach you how to fly” Winter said with a smirk.

“I can’t fly, the experiments that they did to me made it impossible” Autumn said, confused on what Winter is saying.

“Well, it just your powers seem that can be more powerful if they are combat. I’m the best person who can teach you how to be more stronger and with using air element you can fly” Winter explain, hoping Autumn would understand.

Autumn place her hand on her chin, seeming to be thinking it over. Winter couldn’t hide her smirk knowing that thinking it is dangerous for Autumn to be thinking this hard.

“You can teach me, right?” Autumn question

“It would take time, but yes, I can teach you on how to mix combat and your powers. So let face it you’ll be more unstoppable” Winter said with a nod of her head.

”Attention passengers. Can the two assholes come to the flight deck.” Summer said through the speakers.

Winter and Autumn got up to make their way to the flight deck, when they learned that Summer got bored of waiting for them she turned on her music.

The first time ever she saw him

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Winter let out a cough, causing Summer to turn off her music and look at the two. The unicorn clapped her hands together in joy with that smile she only had on when Summer about to kill someone.

“I’m not liking the beginning of this” Autumn said, looking worried.

Summer rolled her eye with a wave of her hand and then spoke, “Don’t worry I’m not going to kill you…”

Winter and Autumn waited for the pause to end, it seems like Summer thought things over in her head before finishing.

“Yet. But that's not the reason, let's face it, we been terrible at this whole trying find the killer” Summer said.

“So what are ya thinking? Because Ah might just stop listening to your plans soon.” Winters said, making Summer rubbed her hands together.

“Next time you talk to me in country accent. I’m not going to listen to you or cut out your tongue whichever one comes first.”

“Anyway, this killer likes to torture us before killing. So I made a small tracking device to go into one of our hands. Now Winter out because unbreakable coat, and Autumn out because you're too powerful.” Summer finished, with Winter arms crossed.

“So you go. Yeah that’s a smart idea you’re the only one who’ll piss him off before the torture” Winter said

“I think she’ll start giving tips” Autumn cut in, causing Summer to roll her eye.

“He might need it, so let me explain the chip will only activate when I hit my hand twice.” Summer said, giving Winter a tracking screen just showing a red dot.

Summer grabbed her I-Pod with her headphones, putting her belt around her waist with the guns and knives and then getting her sword.

“Wish me luck, just wait like maybe an hour before coming to save me” Summer said before leaving.

Once gone Winter turn to look at Autumn, “You wanna get high?”

“Yeah”

"And that's the power of love" Summer sang to the song playing in her ears.

She kicked a small rock on boredom, the hard rocky ground, she stood on with rocks and no signs of any trees or plant life anywhere. The whole place seems dead and lifeless, Summer continued walking and waiting for whoever after her to finally attack.

Summer turned her head so she could look all around her, she knew that the grounds around here are Diamond Dog territory.

Summer looked at the shaking small rocks, scratching or digging sounds getting closer and closer to her. Summer's good eye search the ground before the ground broke apart, a dozen Diamond Dogs stood around her.

Summer smirked, holding up her hands in defeat. Which made the Diamond Dogs looked at each other in confusion. Next thing Summer knew that she was knocked out.

Her eye flicked open, hearing a male voice talking her wrist felt cold, trying to ignore that feeling she listened to the man.

"She just gave up? That's odd, from the notes I found Summer one of the more dangerous of the four. Heck Spring put up more of a fight, it doesn't make any sense" the man said, Summer just fully open her eye to see him rub his chin.

The pegasus with blue mane wearing a brown jumper and blue jeans, looked at Summer before clapping his hands together.

"Greetings Summer we finally meet. I'm the villain for this story I'm Flare Crater" he greeted.

"Seeing your not going to last much longer, but with you here Autumn won't be far behind" Flare said, causing Summer to roll her eye.

"That idiot, I left her years ago. I never even cared about her" Summer said, seeing that she was trapped to a metal bind.

"Oh that's cute, trying to save your little girlfriend. But if said was true, we wouldn't be here talking right now" Flare said

Flare turns around with an evil smirk on his face, his yellow eyes looked at Summer who gave no care what so ever.

"Think about this, once I kill you. The dinosaurs will finally be extinct" Flare said, before he started to laugh.

Summer rolled her eye, coughing to try and get him to look at her. Once her coughing got loud enough Flare looked over at her with anger on his eyes.

"WHAT!?" Flare yelled

"Sorry to break up your evil laughter if we're going to be generous and call it that. But what you just said is completely wrong, I mean nothing you just said was right"

"I know that some villains are dumb, but you good sir are breaking records in all the wrong ways. Look, first the dinosaurs died thousand of years ago, so I couldn't be one"

"Next even if I was one this holding bond wouldn't work. Just because I live in the fifth's to ninety's doesn't mean I saw the Big Bang happen"

"You just being a let down, I know a mare with fucked up hair problems being a better villain than you" Summer finished.

Flare looked at the Diamond Dogs trying to hold in their laughter at their boss.

"I want her mouth sew shut!" He ordered, before turning to face Summer.

"Any last words, my dear?" Flare question

"Yeah, I fucked your mother last night. It was sweet, sweet passionate sex. Each time she closes her eyes for the next three months. She'll be moaning my name" Summer said with a smirk looking him dead in the eye.

Flare turn to leave the room just before Summer banged her hand twice, Flare turn to look at her in question. Just to see her pull the finger, and move up and down in a thrust.

Flare looked at Summer with anger in his eyes, seeing her blue I-Pod on the metal table.

“Here you can have this” Flare said, throwing Summer’s I-Pod at a tall Diamond Dog. Putting it in to listen to Rockin’ Robin.

“She won’t be needing it”

Winter sat with her hooves on the control panel, a brown stetson hat covered her eyes while the Earth pony rested. Autumn lay on the red couch eating an apple, just when a beeping noise began to ring.

"Winter can you turn that off!" Autumn cried out, making Winter to open her right eye.

"What? Oh that is just Summer telling us to time to pick her up" Winter said, closing her eye.

"Wait, what?" Autumn question, trying to quickly to get out her seat. Just to sit on the one next to Winter.

"Oh right. Umm..." Winter said, looking over all the many buttons with her tired eyes.

"You do know how to fly this thing right?" Autumn asked, worried about how confused Winter looked.

"Of course I know. I can fly anything" Winter said, having bit her lip.

Winter started to push random buttons hoping it would do something.

'How does Summer control the ship with only one eye?' Winter question in thought

"You really don't know how to fly Summer's ship" Autumn pointed out.

"No shit, I hate lying it not in my code" Winter said, just before Autumn pressed the button for the rocket thrusters to start.

Winter gave her a questioning look Autumn moved her head to the side with a raised eyebrow.

"What, Summer taught me what every button did while we waited for you to finally come back. It may seem like Summer doesn't care, but she seems happier with us finally being back together" Autumn said.

"You take the buttons I can fly this hunk of junk" Winter said, getting the ship off the ground.

"Oh and don't tell Summer I called her ship a 'hunk of junk'" Winter quickly added

The ship flew at high speed passing all the large rocks before passing through the white clouds. Breaking them apart, before it boasted off in the direction where Summer stayed.

Finally getting there the ship sat where the camera's wouldn't see it. Winter and Autumn looked at the large metal door, with most of the building being covered by rocks.

"Hmm... Now how to get in there, Ah could just punch down the door but then they know we're here" Winter said, rubbing her chin in thought.

Autumn rolled her eyes, just placing her hoof on the door and move it down to unlock the door. Coughing to get Winter's attention, she moved her head to point at the open door.

"Autumn ya amazing"

With a shake of the pegasus head, the two headed inside, the place was almost completely metal, Autumn shook her head before rubbing the side. Winter looked over at her with a raised eyebrow.

The hideout isn't that big, it mostly just one long hallway with lots of connecting doors. It didn't take the pair to reach the end, Winter looked at Autumn, who just started to hold her head in pain.

"It maybe best if ya keep your eyes close once we open the door to Summer. You might just lose control, I rather not fight you" Winter said, making Autumn eyes to drift away.

"You're right. I... I just wish I had more control over this" Autumn said, looking at her hand.

She let her hand slide down the door, causing it to open up, before closing her eyes and covering them with her hand. Winter held her shoulder so Autumn won't walk into any walls.

Winter looked at Summer who glare at the two, Winter covered her mouth, holding in her laughter seeing that Summer mouth got forever shut.

"Autumn, I don' care if ya go crazy, I don't think we should fix this" Winter said, causing Autumn to open her eyes.

"Your right, this is a change I could get used to" Autumn said, causing Summer to glare at them more.

"Chill down, I'll fix that for you" Winter said.

Walking to the metal table where Summer's weapons lay, she thought there was something small missing, but paid no notice. Before picking up a knife.

"This won't hurt a bit. Wait scratch that, this will hurt. Like a lot, I mean it will be painful" Winter said, leaning next Summer.

"This will hurt so much that you want to keep your mouth shut, or a truck speeding at you. This will hurt more than slamming your fingers in the door" Winter keep going causing Autumn to roll her eyes.

“Also another quick note, I might still be high, so this might not be a straight line”

"Just cut open her mouth" Autumn called out, making Winter to stop and follow the order.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" Summer cried out once her mouth got open.

Once Summer got free she went over to the metal table to put on her belt and place her two knife's in their holders while her guns stayed behind. Putting her sword on her back, the unicorn looked at her two... Friends?

"I'll be back in about twenty minutes just gonna pick something up before killing the ass fucker" Summer said, looking at them.

"Ya don't have your guns" Winter stated

"Don't need them" Summer reply, pulling down her flight goggles and exiting the room.

The doors behind her slammed shut. Diamond Dogs by the number heard the alarm go off, rushing to stop the escaping pony. A quiet song, played through the halls, that anyone could easily miss.

My child arrived just the other day

He came to the world in the usual way

But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.

Summer's ears heard the song, Cats In The Cradle playing, her eye searched the hall. Trying to pinpoint the place the noise was coming from, she let out a smile when she found it coming from room five on the right side.

Summer grab her sword, pulling it from the holding case, she turned to look at all the dogs that blocked her path to her most beloved item. Her sword stayed gripped in her right hand while the other stayed close to her belt for quick use of her two knife's.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man on the moon

When you comin' home, Dad

I don't know when, but we'll get together then

You know we'll have a good time then

The song still quite, quiet. The dogs held their guns to get ready to shoot down the unicorn filly, after all, at the end of the day the mission is to kill each one. The dogs knew from making what these last three left, they knew that if Summer dies the other two would fall, no Summer would mean Autumn would fall, Winter would soon follow. Just like Dominos.

My son turned ten just the other day

He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play

Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today

I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"

A knife flew through the air, cutting into one of the Dog's arm causing to drop his gun in pain, falling to the floor holding his arm to try and stop the blood. Bullets soon started to fly, Summer eye seems like it could easily see them all coming and began to plan ahead.

Sliding through the hall, grabbing her knife and putting it back in its holder. Cutting through two random dog's legs causing them to fall on the ground, all while she kept counting the bullet that are firing. Summer yelled in pain when a bullet hit her shoulder on her blind side.

Well, he came from college just the other day

So much like a man I just had to say

"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while"

While Summer moved through the halls, taking down the dogs that are standing in her way the song started getting louder. She kept it on the back of her mind, but first on her hit list the fucker who shot her.

Quickly turning around to see him, throwing her knife into his eye. A Diamond dog put a gun to her head to fire with nothing but clicks.

"Oh, it looks like someone wasn't counting" Summer said, putting her sword in his two legs.

More bullets flew past her, moving her head out of the way when she saw that one was getting too close, when it got there her eye watched the bullet fly past a little way from her eye. Quickly getting her other knife and throwing it at the dog across the room, making him fall to the ground in pain.

Her eye looked to see the last dog her hand moved to the dog with the knife in his eye, the knife somehow teleported to Summer's hand, just to have it throw at the final Diamond dog, when he fell to the ground. Summer looked at her hand and then at the dog who quite far away where she stood. Looking back to her hand in confusion.

I've long since retired, my son's moved away

I called him up just the other day

I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"

He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time

You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu

But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad

It's been sure nice talking to you"

The song got to it loudest point, when Summer entered the room, the Diamond dog saw her standing behind him because of the mirror. Slowly turning around, he gave her I-Pod back with a grin.

Summer took her I-Pod before she slice of his head, causing his blood to fly and hit the mirror, his head rolled on the ground just for Summer to stop it with her foot.

Her eye looked at the head under her boot, before rubbing her chin in thought.

Winter and Autumn sat in the room, playing a game of Go Fish while the two waited for Summer to finish her business on the outside.

"Got any two's?" Autumn question, looking from her hand to look at Winter with an hopeful smile.

"Fuck this!" Winter cried out, throwing her cards on the table. "Ahem, going out there, hoping Summer hadn't done too much damage"

Winter stood up to walk to the front door, looking back at Autumn with a raised eyebrow while the pegasus looked at the Earth pony cards.

"Ya coming?" She question

"What? Oh, yeah I was just checking that you wasn't lying in our game" Autumn said, quickly walking over to the pissed of Winter.

"I told you, I don't lie" Winter said, grabbing Autumn shirt in anger.

Winter lets go to press the button to open the door, waiting to meet the mess on the other side. Once it slides open, the head of a Diamond Dog meet them at the first moment.

"Oh, hi guys. How's it going?" The head question the lips not in time with the words plus the arm running out of his neck.

"Oh Summer" Winter said, looking at her friend.

"Oh, I was so fucking stupid taking the great Summer's I-Pod" the head said, causing Winter to shake her head in disappointment.

"Come on Summer, this is past your standards" Winter said, making Autumn raise her eyebrow.

"Summer have standards?"

"Yeah, but let me tell you two about my fucking death, getting my head cut off and then having my insides carve out to be a good hand puppet" the head said, with the two leaving the room.

"Come on," Winter said, moving her hand in a follow me way.

"Hold up, before we go. Check this out" Summer said, holding a glass of water in her free hand.

A series of weird noises follow by coughing, having dropped the glass. Winter looked at Summer, with her arms crossed while Autumn blinked a few times.

"I'm still working on it" Summer said, taking off the head of her hand. Walking up to the other two she grab her I-Pod, pushing it next to her face in a loving way.

"The more important thing is I got my beloved I-Pod back" Summer said, before she started kissing the machine making Autumn eye twitch in jealous.

"Are you jealous of an I-Pod?" Winter question, in a whisper so Summer didn't overhear.

"Yeah" Autumn said, bowing her head in defeat.

The three walked over the bodies on the ground, Winter and Autumn got pass with Summer kicking a body hoping he would wake up. The dog eye open and looked at the insane unicorn looking at him with a small sweet smile.

"Mind telling me where Flare is, or my two partners might get messy or you could end up like the head of one of your friends" Summer said, her smile didn't leave as she waited for an answer.

"Down the hall, third room on the right. Close to the only exit" He said,making Summer clap her hands in joy. Before skipping over to the other two.

The three walked down the hall, stopping at the third door, the three walked into the room with Flare, sitting on a chair with his feet on the table while he looked at the three fillies.

"Well, well, well. The last three fillies of The Deadly Three project. It great to see you all again, after I was the one who kidnapped you four well three now for Starlight Glimmer." Flare said, getting out of his seat walking in front of something being covered.

"The main problem is here that you all still alive. I killed Spring because she was a fucking idiot. She tried to be a hero, it was far too easy to track her down and well kill her" Flare said, crossing his arms with a smile.

But first, meet my special friend" Flare said, taking off the cover to see a half robot version of Starlight Glimmer with her horn replaced by a metal one with a arm and her two legs.

"Before you ask, yes she still alive. While she made you three what you are now she tested on herself at the same time. She can't die, I haven't found out her powers yet. But at less she not as useless at the regretted piece of -" Flare said, getting a big rock thrown at him.

Winter and Summer looked at Autumn, who bit her lip anger in her eyes, before looking at the other two.

"What? He was taking for so long" Autumn said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"You threw a rock at him" Winter said, making Autumn nod her head.

"And a big rock at that. You really do keep your word" Summer added, Autumn nodded her head again waiting for the point.

Shaking her head, "Not important, Autumn can you take this place down?" Winter question, causing Autumn to give her a thumbs up.

"Summer stay here and make sure that she doesn't go too crazy." Winter said, Summer nodded her head.

"What about you?" Summer asked

"I have unfinished business" Winter said, walking where Flare flew off to.

Winter walked through the broken holes, the Earth pony looked down at the hurt pegasus, he just looked up and laughed.

Winter picked him up, just to punch him back to the ground, breaking his nose and coughing up blood.

"You killed Spring" Winter said, kicking him into the wall.

"You sew Summer's mouth shut" she then picked him up to break his back with her knee.

Flare looked at her, his vision being to get lost, he used his arm to move just for Winter to step on it.

"Why? Why do you care for them, you should know better than anyone they can't be trusted. Summer a backstabber, Autumn is crazy, why care for them when they don't care for you?" Flare question, making Winter shake her head.

"It because they are the only family I have and I know them better than anyone else, yes they are assholes, but I know they will always have my back so you don't fuck with my family" Winter said, kicking Flare head, making his neck snap.

The building kept shaking, more piece's falling. Winter broke through the wall with the place falling, destroying everything in it. Winter walked in the ship with Summer waiting behind the wheel.

"Oh good, I was one second away to just leave you behind" Summer said with Winter sitting next to her.

"Can't get rid of me. We a team, all of us" Winter said, looking at Autumn throwing a ball in the air.

"Alright then, you're the leader. What's our name?" Autumn asked, sitting up.

"The Deadly Three." Winter said, making Summer laugh.

"Real creative there. Just taking our project name, but it suits us so I don't care" Summer said, rolling her eye.

"I knew I should have kept that mouth shut" Winter said, resting her head on her hand.

"I know you'll miss my lovely voice sooner than later" Summer said

"I know I will but Winter?" Autumn spoke up.

"No Summer right, I wouldn't lie, saying that I would miss it" Winter said, making Summer raise her eyebrow.

"You don't lie"

"Eeyep, an Apple never lies. Now you said I was the leader so get a move on" Winter said, making Summer nod her head, starting up her ship to fly off into the sunset.
