In loving memories

“Is it our turn now?” a very familiar mares voice asked.

“Go ahead!” Aurora replied, “But remember not to kill her.”

Shining Armour and Cadence stepped into the light. Starlight had troubled to get herself together.

“Shall we make you even more disgusting?” Shining hissed.

“It's a shame that it had to end like this.” Cadence said, “Twilight had such a good feeling for you.”

“Yeah, and now she’s dead!” Shining almost screamed, as he kicked the torture table.

“You’re right!” Starlight sobbed, “You’re all right and I was wrong! Just kill me, as I deserve!”

“Oh, no, Sweetie!” a mentally broken Shining laughed in her face, “You will suffer! For as long as we please!”

He magically removed the ties from the table and placed Starlight on the floor, where he attached the ties again. She was lying on her back, her feet spread wide. That pose alone wasn’t very comfortable, but what was going to come, would almost destroy her.

“You should know.” Cadence explained, “I have recently investigated about the sombrarian law system. Very cruel punishments. The one for multiple murder is-

Should we say it together, Honey?”

“Yess, pllease!” Shining replied amused.

“Well then, Starlight Glimmer!” Cadence spoke in her royal canterlot voice, “We declare you guilty in accuse of multiple murder, high treason in regards of Princess Twilight and restricting the Equestrian defence system. Therefore we sentence you to-“

They looked at each other in agreement, then proceeded together.

“Crystal Impalement!”

“What?” Starlight froze in shock, “How-?!?”

“Oh it's simple really!” Shining smiled demented, “Even I can do the spell!”

“Don’t forget that others want their turn too!” a voice called from the void.

“Oh, right!” Cadence perked up and without any more hesitation, put a spell on the ground underneath Starlight.

At first nothing happened. Starlight just lay there confused and scared at once. But a few seconds later, slowly and eagerly the first sharp gems grew out of the floor.

At first Starlight only felt only slightly uncomfortable. The gems barely scratched her. But they wouldn’t stop growing and went from uncomfortable, to pungent, then to oppressively lifting her and eventually, when Starlight's hooves reached their limit, they dislocated all of her extremities.

Starlight screamed in terror as the growing wouldn’t stop, while Shining Armour laughed or rather breathed heavily in the background.

When there was no more flexibility for Starlight to use, the crystals started to grow right through her. She led out a terrible cry when the first one burst through her lower back. The second almost cut off her right flank. When it came through the other side, bloody and fleshy, leaving Starlight to sob in exhaustion, Cadence decided that it was time to stop.

After all there were more ponies who wanted to have their fun with dear Starlight. Although it was a bit of a trouble to convince Shining Armour to stop here, Starlight, or rather what was left from her,  was placed back on the table.

She couldn’t move anymore, so Cadence found it was useless to put her back into her ties.

“I must admit.” she said, while guiding her husband back into the void, “A pony has to be extraordinary strong to survive up until now.”
