The sun was high in the sky when Colgate began to approach Ponyville. She could see that there were plenty of ponies out and about so she quickly landed on the balcony and rushed in, hoping that nopony saw her. She rushed downstairs to find Pearly waiting for her. He asked, "So Colgate, how did things turn out?"

Colgate got a beaming smile on her face and boasted, "Pearly, say hello to the newest queen of Equestria, Queen Colgate!"

Pearly asked, "But you haven't even had your coronation yet, have you?"

Colgate replied, "Not yet. It will just be a matter of time before they discover Luna's lifeless corpse and presume the others dead. Once that happens, I'll get called to Canterlot and a new era will begin in Equestria, a truly wonderful era of proper oral hygiene."

Before Pearly could reply the door swung open and in rushed Amethyst and her parents. While Colgate thought she would be happy to see her, that would not be the case. Amethyst asked, "Colgate, have you heard about all the disappearances?"

Colgate asked, "What disappearances?"

Amethyst yelled, "Of Shining Armor, of Fancy Pants, of Fleur de Lis and of Prince Blueblood."

Colgate replied, "No, I haven't heard anything about it. I've been busy seeing patients and when I'm not doing that, I've been relaxing."

Golden did not believe her. She commented, "Yeah, uh huh, sure you have. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you aren't responsible for their disappearances."

Colgate giggled, "What? Innocent little me being responsible for their disappearances? You know that I would never do such a thing!"

Before they could reply there was another knock on the door. Colgate answered it and before her stood a royal guard. He said, "Colgate, we need you to come to Canterlot as soon as possible."

Colgate asked, "What happened?"

The guard replied, "I see you have company so I won't disclose any information. We just need you up there as soon as possible."

Colgate said, "Ok, give me a few hours. I have a few odds and ends to tie up."

The guard nodded and once the door was closed Amethyst screamed, "It involves Luna doesn't it? Did she go missing too?"

Colgate ordered, "Pearly, go get the other soldiers. I need to take care of something."

Pearly replied, "Alright, I'll be back shortly."

The three looked at Colgate in horror. Amethyst began to cry, "Colgate, you didn't did you?"

Golden snapped, "I bet she killed Luna."

Colgate grabbed the three in her aura and pushed them down into the basement. Once she got them down there she began to laugh, "You know Amethyst, you going on that trip with your parents was the best thing to ever happen to me!"

Golden yelled, "What, so you could kill more ponies?"

Colgate got in her face and replied, "No, so that I could do what I have to do to resume what I was doing before." She stepped back and continued, "You see, as you three know Luna prohibited me from eradicating poor oral hygiene a couple years back. For a while I was fine with that until ponies started showing up with cavities and gum diseases again." She began to laugh, "And you know something Amethyst, it was Cheerilee who drove me over the top."

She patted Golden on the shoulder and continued, "And Golden, while you and I have never liked one another, I must thank you. If it weren't for you wanting Amethyst to go on a trip and not wanting me to come along, I would never have been able to do what it took to be awaiting my coronation."

Written, who has been quiet for most of the time asked, "Coronation? Coronation for what?"

Colgate laughed, "For my coronation as queen of Equestria. There is a reason I killed those that I did. They were ahead of me in line for the throne and that could no longer be. For me to wipe out poor oral hygiene I had to wipe all of them out."

Golden screamed, "Well you'll never get the chance. We'll expose you and the ponies of Equestria won't stand for it! They'll call for your execution!"

Colgate smacked her and laughed, "And that is why you three must die."

Amethyst began to cry uncontrollably, "Colgate, how could you? I thought you loved me more than anything!"

Colgate smacked her and laughed, "For a long while I did but when you asked for that divorce I knew that you were nothing more than a disloyal rat."

Amethyst cried, "So your love hasn't been real for the past two years?"

Colgate laughed, "Bravo! We have a real prize pupil here!" She calmed down and continued, "No, it hasn't. My love hasn't been real and ever since you betrayed me and went to Luna over me going to kill the Cakes, this marriage has been nothing more than a sham." She got in her face and continued, "Remember when Luna asked me if torturing ponies and spilling blood was my true love? I will admit, that is my true love! There is nothing I love more than torturing and killing ponies. Once you three are out of the picture and I am crowned queen, my love will be taken to a whole new level!"

Before any of them could reply, Pearly returned with the rest of the soldiers. He asked, "Colgate, what do you want us to do?"

Colgate replied, "I need you to restrain a couple of them while I am working on the others." Colgate grabbed something out of her saddlebag and continued, "Oh I almost forgot!" She grabbed a horn cap and placed it on Amethyst. She continued, "I can't believe I almost forgot to prevent you from causing me any problems."

Amethyst yelled, "Buck you Colgate."

Colgate sighed, "Whatever Amethyst."

While they were restraining Colgate's prisoners Colgate moved that heavy stone in the corner of the room and headed into the sub-basement. When she began to bring up all of her torture equipment Amethyst was in shock. She asked, "Colgate, how did you keep all of this stuff? How did Luna never discover it."

Colgate laughed, "Remember honey, I have always thought three or four steps ahead of everypony else so hiding it from her was beyond easy."

Golden snapped, "Oh and what are you going to do next, cut us all up?"

Colgate ignored her question and walked over to Written Script. She said, "You know Written, you have never treated me like dirt and you supported Amethyst when she married me so I shall make your passing rather quick and painless."

He shouted, "I don't support you now! If we get free I'll expose you to all!"

Colgate simply ignored him and placed the tip of her horn against his. She recited,

"This pony is full of life
Yet this pony has caused a lot of strife
The energy he has makes him strong
But that can not last for long
From him to me the energy must flow
And with this my power shall grow
Now the energy shall be mine
And all will be certainly fine."

Given that he is only a unicorn with specific magic, he very quickly fell unconscious and collapsed to the floor. Colgate pressed her hoof up against his neck and felt for a pulse. Just like with Luna, there was none. She said, "Well now with the nice one out of the way, I can deal with the disloyal wife and the bitchy mother-in-law.

Amethyst yelled, "Demanding a divorce because I feel like you don't love me is not being disloyal."

Colgate smacked her and snapped, "Oh yes it is. It's not like I cheated on you or anything!"

Golden tried to throw a hoof at Colgate but was stopped, "You know spousal abuse is a felony in Equestria don't you? You could be banished to the sun for this."

Colgate laughed, "Ha! Who is going to banish me to the sun now? I'm at the top of the pecking order now and NOPONY will ever know about this anyway so what does it matter?"

Before either of them could say anything Amethyst began to scream out in agony as Colgate clamped down on her horn and began to rip it out. Despite having two soldiers holding her down she was still making it hard on Colgate. Finally around ten minutes later, she ripped her horn out, nerves and all. She bent down and began to suck blood out of the wound but unlike with other victims, she didn't drink all of it as she had other plans.

She knelt down to Amethyst and began to kiss her. Amethyst was trying to turn her face away but she just couldn't. Colgate decided that a fitting end to her last kiss would be a bloody one so she spit her blood into her mouth. Amethyst began choking on the blood but Colgate did hit her on her back to clear her airway. Amethyst yelled, "Eww, gross!"

Colgate laughed, "What's the matter honey, don't like your own blood? I must say that it is quite tasty, just like all of you was for all those years!" She nudged Golden and continued, "You know, back in the old days your daughter was often a very naughty girl!"

Golden snapped, "Probably no more naughty than you!"

Colgate giggled, "Who me? I've always been a perfect little angel! I've never done anything questionable or immoral and you know that!"

Colgate began to go through her equipment and found something she had not used in an extremely long time. She picked it up and headed towards Amethyst. "You know Amethyst, it has been forever since I have had any wings." She fired up her saw and continued, "But soon, I'll get to have some more!"

Pearly kicked her over onto her stomach and Colgate took her saw to Amethyst. Never in her life did Amethyst think that she would be on the receiving end of Colgate's wrath. She was screaming in agonizing pain as the blood began to fly and Colgate cut her left wing off. Colgate tossed it to Pearly and laughed, "Hey Pearly, Alicorn wings are quite tasty. Here, have one."

He asked, "What about you?"

She laughed, "You'll see."

Colgate had different plans for her other wing. Like she did with Fluttershy so long ago, she began to bite on the base of her wing, ripping the meat away and tearing at the cartilage until she was able to rip the wing out with her teeth. She laughed, "Oh Amethyst sweetie, don't you miss these days?"

Amethyst screamed, "No! I should have left you the moment you started torturing ponies!"

Colgate smacked her and replied, "Come on dear, you know you enjoyed torturing Donut Joe more than anything. Don't you remember how much fun you had severing his penis and sewing it in his mouth? Don't you remember how much fun you had ramming that spiked rod up his ass? You're no little angel Amethyst."

Golden screamed, "It doesn't matter what she did. YOU are the one who has done the most bad in this world. You are the cancer upon the entire planet."

Colgate slammed her hoof down so hard on her muzzle that she broke it. She yelled, "Shut up Golden, it isn't your turn yet." A thought ran through her mind, a thought from her past. She grabbed her saw and laughed, "Or maybe it is your turn!"

She fired up her saw and began to saw one of Golden's legs off. She was screaming in agony as the blade was cutting through her bone. Once Colgate cut it off, she cast a spell to stop the bleeding. She took the severed leg and began to club Amethyst with it. She was screaming for Colgate to stop until she found her mother's leg in her mouth.

Colgate smacked Golden and snapped, "Golden Harvest, you are just as bad as Carrot Cake was abusing your little rat like that!"

Golden yelled, "I did not abuse her. You hit her with my leg."

Colgate snickered, "That is the same sorry ass response that Carrot Cake gave when I clubbed his rats but according to Equestrian law, that is considered child abuse and now you must be punished!"

She grabbed a knife and began to cut her open like she has so many other victims over the years. Once she got her cut open she began to devour the meat underneath and then rip the rib cage open. This was one of her favorite things to do as she always loved watching the internal organs of a pony at work, especially when they were under stress.

Amethyst screamed, "Stop it Colgate stop it! You can go ahead and kill me, just don't do anything to my mom!"

Colgate smacked her several times and laughed, "Amethyst Star, you should know that even if I did kill you, your mother would have to go as well. You two know too much and that is something that simply can not be so you must pay the penalty!"

Before either one of them could say anything Colgate bent down and ripped Golden's heart out of her chest, causing one final scream from her. Colgate began to chew up the heart with a huge smile on her face but rather than swallow it, she decided she would punish her wife further for demanding a divorce so long ago so she spit the chewed up heart in Amethyst's face.

She yelled, "You monster!" She began to cry and continued, "Colgate, I know you want to create this 'cavity free utopia' but must you spill so much blood? Couldn't you have spared mom and dad and can't you spare me?"

Colgate smacked her again and in a very stern voice she replied, "No dear, I can not. The three of you know about my killing of all the ponies that have gone missing, you know I killed Luna and I can't trust you to keep your trap shut. It is goody-horseshoes like you that must be punished." She began to scream, "If Luna would have just let me do what I needed to do, none of this would have happened! She would have still been alive, that whiny nephew of her's would have still been alive, Shining Armor would still be alive and those snobs I killed would still be alive too!"

Amethyst began to sob, "What she did was in the best interest of all!"

Despite loving torture Colgate knew that she was wanted in Canterlot as soon as possible. She picked up her sharpest knife and held it to Amethyst's neck. She asked, "Any last words sweetie?"

Amethyst screamed, "I am not your sweetie!"

Colgate began to laugh as she slashed her throat. Blood began to spew everywhere and now that she was out of the picture, Colgate began to gorge herself on the warm liquid. She was moaning in delight as she continued to drink the blood. Once she had got her fill, she stood up and ordered, "Alright everypony, we need to get washed up and headed to Canterlot. We have a big day ahead of us."

They all nodded and they headed to their showers. As Colgate was washing the blood off of her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of not only elation, but satisfaction. Neither her or Golden Harvest had ever liked one another and killing her in the process of what she needed to do made it all the better. Now she had only one more thing to do before she could begin to create her cavity free utopia, the coronation.
