Colgate's Practice 4: Blood, Torture and Power

The sun had set in the Crystal Empire roughly an hour ago when Colgate and Pearly decided it was time to go. Colgate levitated her general and their equipment over to the train station where they waited for it to depart. Pearly asked, "Colgate, do they check bags up here?"

Colgate replied, "No, they do not. When it comes to the trains in Equestria, bags are never checked at night. Why I don't know but they just aren't, well for now anyway."

Pearly asked, "What do you mean 'well for now anyway?'"

Colgate saw the conductor approaching the platform and whispered, "Because once I take over, they will be."

The conductor announced, "All aboard for Canterlot."

Colgate and Pearly boarded the train and noticed that like it was with other night trips, that the train was almost empty. Despite this, like they had before, they remained silent in the event somepony were to walk in on them. A couple hours later they arrived in Canterlot, leaving them hopefully enough time to at least find the entrance into the caves.

Just as it was in the Crystal Empire, the streets in Canterlot were empty. They began to think about where the entrance would be. At first Colgate was getting frustrated when they started searching the secluded areas but could not find it. Pearly asked, "Colgate, do you think it might be on the mountainside under the city?"

Colgate replied, "It could be." She pointed down and continued, "You stay here, I'm going to fly down a bit and see if it is down there."

Pearly staid put while Colgate flew down. While she was flying she noticed a hole in the mountainside. She flew through the hole and lit up her horn. Sure enough, she had found what she was looking for. She flew up to where her general was waiting and said, "Well Pearly, I found what we are looking for but because of the location of it, we are going to have to spread taking them out to just one a night. We can't do them all at once."

Pearly asked, "Colgate, will we have enough time? Will we be able to get this done before Amethyst comes home?"

Colgate replied, "Yes, we can. Now let's go see if we can find Fancy Pants' home."

Pearly nodded and the two headed into the wealthy end of town. While neither one of them had ever seen his house before, Colgate figured that it would likely be the most extravagant given that he is the wealthiest of the noble ponies. Soon they found it and much to Colgate's delight, it actually had his cutie mark on it. Colgate whispered, "Jackpot! Let's go in and get him!"

The two entered his house and headed upstairs. The way the upper level in his house was designed it took them a while to navigate through it but once they reached his bedroom they would not be pleased with what they saw. There was not only Fancy Pants sleeping, but his wife Fleur de Lis as well. Colgate whispered, "Damn it! I forgot he was married!"

Colgate levitated two syringes of sedatives out of her saddle bag and continued, "Pearly, you inject the wife and I'll take care of him."

Pearly nodded and they rammed the syringes in their necks, injecting them with the sedative. Both woke up, "Oww!"

Fleur de Lis was the first to notice them, "Honey, help! We have intruders!"

Fancy Pants saw them and shouted, "What are you two doing in my house?"

Fancy Pants began to fire up is horn when Colgate yelled, "Get me my horn cap!"

Before Pearly could get it to her, Fancy Pants knocked Colgate back with his energy but soon after that the sedatives took effect and both he and his wife fell back asleep. Colgate levitated the horn cap onto Fancy Pants' horn so that he would not be able to discharge any more energy. Pearly noticed that they did not have one for Fleur de Lis. He asked, "Colgate, we don't have a horn cap for her. What are we going to do?"

Colgate replied, "Don't worry about her. Her magic isn't all that strong." She then realized that to get everypony to the caves, that she would have to levitate them all down there and given that she would be levitating a very heavy load, that her horn would shine extremely bright. She continued, "Pearly, you better be ready to go for a quick ride."

He asked, "What do you mean?"

Colgate replied, "To get us to the caves, I will have to levitate all of you. Chances are I will wake up some ponies but there is no other way."

Pearly nodded and they headed to the exit. As they left the house with their captives Colgate looked around and saw nopony. She flared up her horn and took off with the three. She had to hurry because with as much light as her horn was giving off, it was almost as bright as the sun. Once she reached the entrance to the caves she had to be careful as it was a rather narrow opening. Despite scraping her captives up against the sides of the opening, she was able to get them in and set them on the ground.

As they laid there unconscious Colgate was regaining her strength. While she is able to carry heavy objects without many problems, flying with them is a different story. She grabbed her enchanted chains and a rope and ordered, "Pearly, you tie the wife up while I get Fancy Pants chained up."

Pearly asked, "Why are you using the enchanted chains on him and we are only using rope on her?"

Colgate replied, "Because unlike her husband, Fleur de Lis has rather weak magic."

Pearly nodded as they got to work in securing their captives. Now all they would have to do is wait for them to come to.

Fancy Pants was the first to come to. When he woke up all he could see was darkness. He asked, "Hello? Where am I?"

This caused Colgate and Pearly to light up their horns. Colgate laughed, "Oh good, you're awake. I thought you'd died on us there for a minute."

Fancy Pants snapped, "What do you two want with me?" He looked over and saw his wife still asleep and continued, "And what have you done with my wife? Why has she not woken up yet?"

Colgate kicked him in the face and laughed, "What do I want with you?" Her voice became more stern as she continued, "You see, I am on a mission and you are in my way. You are ahead of me in line of succession for the throne and that simply can not be."

Fancy Pants asked, "Wait a minute, do you mean to tell me that those ahead of me are already dead?"

Colgate laughed, "Well Shining Armor is but Blueblood and Luna aren't, well yet anyway."

Fancy Pants asked, "What do you mean they aren't dead, yet?"

Colgate replied, "Ok, I'll let you know what is really going on. I am Colgate, the head of the Equestrian Dental Association. It has been my goal ever since I graduated from the dental academy in Manehattan to eradicate poor oral hygiene from Equestria. For a while Luna was letting me do that until I started killing bakers. Once she took that right away from me, I decided I would bide my time and now I am taking out everypony that stands in my way." She kicked him in the head and continued, "Once they're all wiped out and I'm the pony in charge, anypony with bad teeth and anypony who sells, possesses, produces or imports sweets will be executed."

Fancy Pants began yelling, "You'll never get away with this. You'll never bring down Queen Luna, she will kill you for this."

Fleur de Lis began to come to and heard her husband yelling, "Honey, what is wrong?"

Colgate planted her hoof on her throat and laughed, "I see the other rat is coming to."

With both of them coherent now, Colgate decided that the time to torture them had come. She lit up her horn much brighter so that she could see what she was doing. She decided that unlike what she had done in the past with unicorns and Alicorns, that she would go after their horns first so that they would pose no threat later on.

She decided that since she had no horn cap, that she would go after Fleur de Lis first. She looked up at her general and yelled, "Hold her down. If she is struggling to much ripping her horn out won't be easy."

He grabbed the struggling unicorn and Colgate bit down on her horn trying to rip it out. As is the case with all unicorns, her horn was extremely sensitive to pain. She was screaming in agony as Colgate continued to yank on her horn, doing everything she could to rip it out. After twenty minutes of struggling, Fleur de Lis let out a horrible scream and Colgate was flung backwards. Like she has before, Colgate began to suck on the wound, taking in as much blood as she could. Once she was finished she grabbed her horn and laughed, "Well, one down and one to go."

Fancy Pants yelled, "You may have taken her horn but you will not get my horn."

Colgate noticed that his horn was much larger around than any other horn she had ever seen so she did have her doubts but she wasn't about to let him know that. She smacked him and laughed, "Oh we'll see about that!"

Like she did with Fleur de Lis, she bit down on his horn and began to pull back. His screams were even worse than those of his wife and removing the horn did turn out to be much tougher. Finally after an hour of his screaming and Colgate's biting and pulling, she was able to rip it out, nerves and all. Despite being tired, she stood over the unicorn triumphantly, levitating his horn. She stomped on his face and laughed, "What was that about me not taking your horn?"

Fancy Pants yelled, "You'll never get away with this?"

Colgate ignored the statement and asked, "So Pearly, which one should I mark first? Unlike Shining Armor, these two need marking." She pointed her wing at Fancy Pants and laughed, "I think this one should go first." She grabbed his horn and ordered, "Pearly, hold him down. I don't want my penmanship to be messy."

He did as ordered and lowered the horn to Fancy Pants' abdomen. She began to think to herself, "What should I mark on this one?" When she finally decided she began to carve the words "ELITIST PIG" into him. Despite his struggling, her work was legible. She laughed, "Well now snobby pony, you are marked for what you really are."

He yelled, "You are a complete psycho! How you ever got in Luna's good graces is beyond me."

Colgate smacked him and laughed, "Oh we have plenty more to do." She ripped his monocle of of him and grabbed the device she used to remove Twist's eye so long ago. She began to giggle, "Oh fancy colt, I'm sure you're going to love this."

With Pearly continuing to hold him down, Colgate pressed her leg on the unicorn's forehead, holding it in place better. She moved the device to his eye, inserted it to where it was behind the eye and ripped it out. She was laughing manically as blood was pouring out of the now empty socket. She turned the eye to where it was facing it's owner. She laughed, "So Fancy Pants, can you see yourself?"

Fancy Pants yelled, "You are truly a work of evil Colgate! No pony with an ounce of common decency would do this!"

Colgate kicked him and continued, "Well Pearly, shall we just shut this one up. He is getting rather annoying."

She released him from the chains since they were no longer necessary. She grabbed her knife and like she does with most of her victims, she began to cut him open and eat the meat off of the rib cage. She became excited like she does with every other victim and she bit down and broke the rib cage open, bringing out a horrible scream of agony from Fancy Pants. There was one thing she wanted to do but she forgot to grab it. She wanted to puncture one of his lungs but did not have the device to dig food out from between a pony's teeth.

Colgate screamed, "Damn it, damn it! I forgot to grab the device I puncture lungs with!"

Pearly suggested, "Why don't you just use the end of his horn? It looks pretty sharp."

Colgate replied, "Pearly, once again you are a genius."

She picked up his horn and began to move it towards his lungs. Fancy Pants screamed, "No Colgate. You will not get away with this! Luna will execute you for sure."

Colgate began to mock him as she rammed the horn into the lung. She had to be careful though so that she would not create too big of a hole and cause it to collapse entirely as she did not want him to die a quick death. He screamed out in agony and began to become short of breath. She sat the horn down and laughed, "Well Pearly, while he is laying there slowly but surely dying, shall we make him watch us take out his precious little wife?"

Pearly laughed, "Sure!"

The two moved over to Fleur de Lis, stared down at her wondering what to do. She yelled, "You monsters! How could you be so cruel."

Colgate smacked her hard and giggled, "Us monsters? Come on now, we're sweet little angels!"

She screamed, "You......"

Before she could finish her sentence she slammed her hoof down on her muzzle, shattering it. She yelled, "Would you shut up already?"

Fleur de Lis was moaning in pain as Colgate grabbed her drill and began to drill into her upper molars, aiming for the jaw. It did not take long for her to reach her target, causing her victim to scream louder. As her blood began to drain into the back of her throat she began to choke. Unlike with Shining Armor though, she just let her lay down and continue to choke.

Colgate did not care much for the elite of Equestria, especially ones like Fleur de Lis. While she would never admit it, deep down she despised her because she was considered the most beautiful pony in Equestria. While she was choking Colgate decided she better hurry and cut her open, which is exactly what she did. Once she got her cut open she could see how quickly her heart was beating and how much trouble she was having breathing. She seemed almost mesmerized by how hard her organs were working.

"How..." *cough, cough* "how could you? Why would you?"

Colgate smacked her and screamed, "Because your husband is in the way and you are a witness so you MUST DIE! I can not have anypony stopping me from completing my mission!"

Fleur de Lis asked, "What mission?"

Colgate began to stomp on her organs and yelled, "Are you deaf you pathetic little rat? I told your husband that he is in the way and like I just said you are a witness and that just can't be!"

Colgate's stomping on her organs sent her into convulsions. Her body shook violently and her head began to sway about back and forth until Colgate heard a loud snap and saw her body go limp. She had broken her neck and died instantly. Colgate laughed, "Well now that this pathetic rat is dead, we can return to her hubby."

As they returned to Fancy Pants they noticed that the lung they punctured had collapsed entirely and his breathing had become erratic. She kicked him and asked, "So Fancy Pants, did you enjoy seeing you wife die."

He attempted to say something but all he could do was get out a few gasps of air. Colgate continued, "Well Pearly, think I should take a leg?"

Pearly replied, "Sure!"

She handed him a knife and laughed, "You know Pearly, I don't let you take part in these tortures nearly enough. How about you cut it off? I'll just be sure and cast the proper spell to prevent him from bleeding to death once you remove it."

Pearly nodded and Colgate used her magic to hold him down. He was screaming in agony as Pearly was removing the leg. Pearly was laughing in delight as he rarely got to do things like this. Once he cut the leg off and Colgate cast the proper spell, Pearly asked, "So Colgate, what do you want me to do with it? Do you want to eat it?"

Colgate replied, "Pearly, you can do whatever you want with it. You cut it off so it is your property."

Pearly began to laugh as he slammed it into Fancy Pants' face over and over. He was laughing, "Fancy Pants, why are you kicking yourself?"

Fancy Pants was yelling in anger yet could not get any actual words out. Colgate grabbed her knife and said, "Ok, it's my turn now."

Rather than cutting his leg off, she bit down and began to tear the flesh off. Despite his struggling, she continued to bite down and gnaw the meat off of his joint. Once she had ate a sufficient amount of meat she slammed her hoof down and shattered the leg near the joint. She took the leg and began to slam it down repeatedly on his working lung causing his breathing to become harder and his heart to beat faster and faster.

She laughed, "Damn it I don't have a watch or I would have measured his pulse. Oh well, I'm still getting another heart so it doesn't really matter."

Despite the state he was in, Fancy Pants was able to get out a "Nooooooo!" before she grabbed his heart with her teeth and ripped it out. There was something about his heart that she did not like though so she spit it out.

She gagged, "Ugh, what the hay is wrong with his heart? It is disgusting!"

Pearly replied, "Perhaps it is something that he eats. The super rich do wind up eating things that us normal ponies find disgusting which would lead to him tasting disgusting."

Colgate sighed, "True but the meat on his leg was just fine." She paused for a minute and continued, "Oh well, he's taken care of. Two more rats to go and I can start to achieve my ultimate goal."

Pearly asked, "So what are we going to do with the bodies?"

Colgate levitated the bodies and threw them down into one of the chasms and replied, "There Pearly, taken care of." She noticed that there was still some light shining in from the entrance. She continued, "Now we wait until it has been dark for a couple of hours and go acquire Blueblood."

Pearly asked, "Wait a minute, isn't his palace heavily guarded."

Colgate replied, "We'll just fly around it, break open a window and proceed from there. If we encounter any guards, I'll just have to fry them with my energy."

Pearly nodded and they laid down to rest while they waited for night to arrive. While Pearly's confidence was building, he was still a bit nervous. Colgate on the other hand was full of confidence. She was pretty certain that they would be able to pull this off and with only two to go, she was already envisioning herself as queen and putting law breaking ponies to death.
