To Hell and Back
That Left A Bad Taste In My Mouth
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"I demand that she be stripped of her tiltle immediately!" Yelled Blueblood.
"Why do you say that dear nephew? Celestia questioned as she sipped on her tea.
"Well for one she insulted most of the Canterlot nobility. Secondly she threatend my life, your dear and most favorite nephew I might add." Replied Blueblood.
"If you hadn't kept pushing her maybe that wouldn't have happend." Celestia said setting her tea down.
"But we deserved to know where she has been for the last twenty years. This is isn't fair aunt. Aren't rulers supposed to be fair and trust their ponies with the knowledge they know?" Blueblood said in a slightly angry tone.
"And aren't princes supposed to be nice to mares and instead of using them as a sheild and instead use themselves?" Celestia shot back.
"What, are you talking about that dead peasant that that wicked mare of darkness was talking about? I didn't want my mane to get ruined by that cake, so I used her to block me. If anything she should of been happy to help a prince such as myself." Blueblood said.
"You know what, your so full of bullshit." Said a voice from behind. Neither Celestia or Blueblood (who was shaking in his boots, figuratively of course.) to see that it was Twilight who was now standing at the door.
"Princess Twilight, what are you doing here?" Blueblood asked inching closer to his aunt for protection.
"Your not scared are you?" Twilight asked as she enered the room and closed the door behind her.
"Of...of course n...not." Blueblood replied.
"So what did you say about that "dead peasant" that was my friend?" Twilight said as she saw Blueblood visibly shaking under her gaze. "Speak the truth Dying and I are very good at detecting liars, so don't try it." Twilight said seeing Blueblood gulp.
"I...I sa...id she sho...uld have been proud to p...rotect me form that cake that would have absolutely ruined my mane." Blueblood said with a little more confidence in his voice towards the end of his sentence.
"That's what you threw my friend infront of that cake for, because it could have ruined a fucking mane no one gives two shits about!" Twilight said getting a little angry."I don't know what Rarity ever saw in you, and how you could be Celestia's favorite nephew. I rid my hooves of you, good day." Twilight said as she left the room a slammed the door very loudly.
"Just when I thought she couldn't get even angrier." Celestia said picking up her cup of tea again and taking a sip.
In The Hallways Of Canterlot Castle
"A mane, a fucking mane! What did you see in this guy Rarity?" Then again she always was one for the stallions that had the best fashion. Huh if he was a lot nicer, maybe those two would have been great together?" Twilight said as she walked down the halls.
"Nah, Blueblood would have still found a way to fuck up." Said Dying.
"Hm, maybe your right? I mean this is Blueblood were talking about." Twilight said.
"How are you feeling by the way?" Dying asked.
"Can't you tell?" Twilight said.
"Oh, yeah forgot about that." Dying said sheepishly. "Ugh, that asshole Blueblood made you a little bit angry again. Hmmm, oh I have an idea lets go check on the ship for anything we can salvage."
"I guess that could work?" Twilight said as she opened the doors to the castle and took flight. A couple minutes later she landed infront of the ship. She entered and went searching for things she could take. She looked through the the crates that hadn't broken and in the ones that had.
"Lets see we got a couple assault rifles, RPG's, magnums, couple desert eagles, thirteen cases of grenades, thirteen cases of breach charges, light machine guns, anti-air rockets and launcher, shot guns, some sticky bombs, cleaning supplies, extra armor, mines, sniper rifles, and oh hell yes, fuckin miniguns." Twilight said as she went through the crates.
"Are there any flamethrowers?" Dying asked.
"Yes there are. What is it with you and fire?" Twilight asked
"To be honest with you, I have no fucking idea." Dying said as both her an Twilight shared a little laugh"So uh, how long until I get to meet the rest of your friends?" Dying asked.
"Dying it's only the middle of the day. We'll meet them soon." Twilight said as she moved all of the weapons and other equipment into her pocket dimension.
"I'm just so excited, and anxious at the same time. I'm excianxious." Dying said.
"You sound like Pinkie Pie." Twilight said amused.
"What if they think i'm evil? What if they think I took your body over? How are we going to break the news about Rarity?" Dying said hyperventilating.
"Don't worry about those things now, we still have the rest of the day to come up with the answers." Twilight said trying to calm down Dying.
"But what if we can't think of anything. I'll be the reason your friendship ends with them. If that happens then you'll hate me and you won't like me as your brainmate!"Dying cried.
Twilight chuckled a little. "Ok you are so much like me. You need to calm down and relax. Trust me when I say I do some crazy things when I freak out. So right now breath and do the exercise Cadence taught me."
Dying exhaled and put her hoof to her chest and then extended it outwards. She reapeted the action for a couple of minutes. "Wow that really does work." Dying said feeling better.
"See now we can work together on what to say to them, ok?" Twilight said.
"Ok." Dying replied.
"Now let's go see what else we can salvage." Twilight said as she left the storage room.
Caterlot Castle, Blueblood's Planing Room
Blueblood sat in his planing room with at least twenty of the nobels that were present at the meeting where almost all of them were insulted. Blueblood went up to the podium that was set up on the room and began speaking."My fellow nobility, we are gathered her to discuss a matter that I'm sure most of you have been angered over." Blueblood said as the nobels shared looks with each other."This matter is the insult of the Cantrlot nobility that happend earlier this morning." Blueblood continued. The nobels all yelled in unison." I'm here to suggest a plan. This plan will involve getting rid of Princess Twilight Sparkle and that monster of her's forever." Blueblood said. The gathered nobility roared with excitement.
"What if her or Celestia find out about this plan, surely we will either be killed or banished?" One of the nobels asked.
"Trust me they won't, my connections will ensure that we are not found out." Blueblood said. "Any other questions?" Blueblood asked.
"Yes, how do plan to contain the Princess and her monster?" A noble asked.
"Excellent question dear chap. We will be using the best inhibitor that bits can buy, also the best chains. She will be held in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of Canterlot." Blueblood said.
"I have a question, how do you plan on catching her? Asked another noble.
"Again my connections will be handeling that. Anymore questions?" Blueblood said looking around. There were no more." All right now that those matters are settled you are to meet back here at 9:00 am tommorow. By that time we will have her in our custody. See you all then." Blueblood said as he walked off the podium.
Back At The Ship, The Cockpit
Twilight sat down in the pilots chair of the cockpit. She formed her crystal fingers and turned towards the now cracked screen. "Alright let's see what else this ship has onboard." Twilight said as she skimmed through the files. A few minutes later she found a file marked Alien Tech. She looked up the area where the tech was being held and left the cockpit. She headed back into the storage area and walked towards the middle of the room. She looked down and pulled the small rusted ring that was attached to a small hatch. She opened the hatch to find a dark hole with a latter attached to the side of the wall. She went down the latter and looked around, her vision already adjusting so she could see in the dark room."Thanks Dying." Twilight said as she looked around the room.
"No problem." Dying replied. Twilight lifted a tarp and squealed in excitement. "Are those plasma casters?" Dying said eyeing the contents of the crate.
"Yes they are!" Twilight said in an excited tone. She opened the next crate to see some wrist blades. In the next crate there were a couple glaives,in the next one proximity mines, the next some consticter nets as Twilight liked to call them. In the next crate there were some ceremonial knives, the next some mauls. The next crate some smart discs."It's like an entire Yautja armory." Twilight said as she opened the next crate to find the standard Juwanga Clan mask and armor. She opened the next crate to find the Shiwana Clan mask and armor. Instead of searching through the rest of the crates, she put them in her pocket dimension. A couple minutes later she exited the ship with all the rest of her new toys, with a large smile on her face. As she walked back towards the castle she felt a large multitude of presences around her.
"You feel them too?" Dying asked.
"Yup." Twilight said focusing on the presences. "Twelve unicorns, five pegasi, ten earth ponies." Twilight said as she stood on her hind hooves and summoned her sword for the battle. The said twenty-seven ponies emerged from the shadows and surrounded her.
"Afternoon fellas, can I help you with something?" Twilight asked. The group said nothing. One of the pegusus pounced and ended up on the end of Twilight's sword. Twilight pushed the pegasus body off her sword and shook it. "Who's next?"
The remaining four pegasi flew into the air, while the earth ponies charged at her. The unicorns began charging their sleeping spells. Twilight swung her sword around in a circular motion, which in turn caused the earth ponies to stop in confusion. Once Twilight stopped she dug her hooves in the ground and then pushed off it lunging forward with enough speed and force to leave a crack in the ground and blow every thing behind her backwards and also cause a loud boom sound to emit. She was to fast for the earth ponies to see her move and in just a few second five earth pony bodies lay motionless on the ground. Twilight didn't stop running forward. She knew what kind of spell the unicorns were preparing and she didn't want want them to get it off. She reached the unicorns infront of her and she sliced six of their heads off. She stopped and turned around to face the remaining enemy. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a pegasus trying to tackle her from her right side. She ducked and then bucked the pegasus in the stomach and the mare screamed out in pain as she crashed into a tree.
Twilight then had to dodge a magical blast from one of the unicorns and then jump over one of the charging earth ponies. One of the pegasus saw an opportunity and flew straight at her. There was a loud bang and the pegasus fell to the ground dead. The remaining ponies saw Twilight holding some strange foreign object in her hooves. Twilight blew the smoke that was coming from the barrel of the gun. "You see this?" Twilight said putting the gun in the air."This is my boom stick!"Twilght yelled recalling one of the memories she now had from her time on Earth. It was the memory of a movie with some person named Ash. The gathered ponies reacted the same way the people in the movie did. Twilight had to suppress a laugh. One of the earth ponies came running behind her. Another loud bang and a dead body. "Any one else want to try and fuck with me?" Twilight asked. The three remaining pegsi flew backwards and into the clouds. The remaining earth ponies backed away from her and the unicorns teleported away.
"Did they just...give up?"Dying said confused.
"I don't know, but we should keep our gua..." Was all Twilight said before she was tackled from behind by one of the earth ponies. She dropped her sword and her gun out of her reach.'Dammit' Twilight thought as she turned around and bucked the earth pony in to a tree. There was also a loud crack heard. Twilight got up and started running towards her sword. Before she could reach it there was a flash and she was starting to feel very, very sleepy. Twilight fell to the ground and was struggling to stay awake. She looked up to see the remaining ponies surrounding her.
An earth pony walked infront of her and delivered a quick right hook to her face. It was a strong attack but it did not have the intended effect. The pony saw this and delivered another punch, this time a uppercut.
This punch flung her a short distance, but when she landed she hit the ground hard. She was able to look up once before she passed out.
Three Hours Later, Edge Of Canterlot Abandoned Warehouse
Twilight slowly opened her eyes and then closed them as there was a bright light shining in her face. She tried moving her hooves, but found she couldn't. She opened her eyes and looked at her hooves. They were chained to the wall. A hint of fear made its way into Twilight's mind. She tried opening her mouth but it wouldn't open. She looked down and caught a glimpse of something silver.
'Looks like Equestria invented duct tape while I was away.' Twilight thought.
"Well, we'll look who's awake?" Said a voice, that Twilight instantly realized was Blueblood. She looked up at him with anger."Look at you The Princess of Friendship all tied up, and there's nothing she can do about it." Blueblood said smiling.
'Oh, I am so kicking your ass when I get free.' Twilight thought.
"Don't you mean we?" Dying asked.
'Yes Dying we.' Twilight replied mentally.
"Anyway you must be wondering why your here?" Blueblood said. Twilight only looked at him still with rage in her eyes."Well obviously this is me and the other nobels that you insulted getting our revenge on you." Blueblood said as if he expected her to know why.
"You are so dead when I get out of here." Twilight said muffled by her gag.
"I'm sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you. That duct tape around your mouth is made from the best quality adhesive. There is no way your breaking out of that. Also those chains around your hooves are made from the finest steel, and that inhibitor ring was the best on the market. I'd like to see you try to escape, it's impossible." Blueblood said with a smile on his face.
Twilight pushed forward, which caused Blueblood to step back. She was pulled back towards the wall by the chains. She looked up at Blueblood still clearly showing her anger."You know your kind of cute when your angry." Blueblood said with a chuckle.
"Hey, only I get to say she's cute when she's angry!" Dying yelled knowing that Blueblood couldn't hear her.
"Oh would you look at the time I must be getting back to the castle. I'll see you tommorow Princess, have a good night ta ta." Blueblood said as he turned and left the building.
Twilight lowered her head in shame.'Good job Twilight. Your back for one day and you already get captured again. Shameful.' Twilight thought as the Yautja in her took control.'First you let your anger get the better of you, which got you wounded and then you take a false victory and get captured. It's disgraceful.' Twilight thought as tears threatend to fall from her eyes.
"Twilight stop all this crazy talk. This is not you talking it's the Yautja, you need to snap out of it." Dying said trying to calm Twilight down. "Everypony makes mistakes. Yours were letting your anger get the best of you and believing you won a battle. Those are your mistakes, but instead of viewing them as failures you should view them as a learning opportunities."
'I guess that makes sense, sort of.' Twilight replied.
"You know if I was in control all the time I probably make the same mistakes you did. After all no ponies perfect. I also pretty sure that if I felt the same way you do now you would probably be trying to cheer me up to." Said Dying.
'You know your right Dying, thanks.' Twilight said feeling better.
"Now how about we make a plan to get our revenge on Blueblood and the rest of those snobbish assholes?" Dying suggested.
'Sounds good to me.' Twilight replied.
"All right so Blueblood obviously plans to get rid of both of us. We also know that him and those other nobels that were present will be here in the morning. The'll be expecting us to be still tied to the wall. We're already gonna be out of our bounds and will be waiting for them. Ok so they fitted us with military grade steel chains, since Equestria still hasn't found anything stronger, and a inhibitor ring strong enough to hold back even the magic of Celestia." Dying explained.
'Yes thanks for listing what they tied us up with. I already knew that.' Twilight thought.
"Oh yeah." Dying said sheepishly.
'Anyways how am I getting out of these bonds without my magic?'
"Duh, you have a side that was born from anger and not magic. All you need to do is get angry and that shouldn't be very hard for you I imagine." Dying said.
'You got that right.' Twilight said as she changed into Dying Phoenix. Dying looked at the chains and efforetlessly pulled both her hooves from the wall.
"Hey how come your stronger than me?" Twilight asked.
'Cause I do all the absorbing. When we switch places your strength increases by three-hundred percent. So that's why I'm stronger. But hey at least you have that fourty percent from me and then the sixty from your enhancements.' Dying explained.
"Oh well ok then. " Twilight said.
'Now lets get these chains off of our wrists.' Dying said as she walked over to a rail and started banging her hooves against it. A couple minutes later and the chains were on the ground.'Now for this ring.' Dying said as she tried pushing the ring off her horn. Fourty minutes later the ring fell to the ground.'I don't understand how earth ponies and pegasi do anything without magic.' Dying said.
"We can look into it when we get back at Blueblood and those other nobels." Twilight said.
'Sounds good to me. Lets get this tape off our mouth, it starting to hurt a little.' Dying said as she formed the crystal fingers and found the part where the tape was ripped and started unwrapping it from their muzzle. "Ah that's much better." Dying said with relief.
"Now I know how those hostages felt." Twilight said.
"Which ones?" Dying asked.
"The ones during that one mission to Venezuela." Twilight replied.
"Oh yeah, that was the one where we used a meat hook on that one guy." Dying said amused.
Twilight laughed"You remember how he tried to get and ended up falling and breaking his neck."
"That was my favorite part." Dying said and then fell backwards to start laughing."Anyways lets find us a place to hide."
"Agreed" Twilight said.
The Next Morning 9AM
Blueblood waited outside the warehouse for the rest of the nobels to arrive. A couple minutes later all the nobles that were present at the meeting were now standing outside the warehouse.
"Welcome my fellow nobility." Blueblood said to the gathered crowd."Are we all ready to enter?" Blueblood asked. The gathered nobility nodded in unison. One of the nobels raised his hoof."Yes?" Blueblood asked.
"Are we going to have protection in there?" The nobel asked.
"Of course we are they are already inside waiting for us to come in." Blueblood replied. The nobels nodded and Blueblood opened the the door he and the other nobles went in and then the door slammed shut. "Wh...where is she?! Blueblood said.
"Right behind you asshole." Twilight said as she dropped from the ceiling and onto the ground leaving a small crater."Surprised to see me free?"
"How did you escape?" Blueblood said clearly very scared.
"My friend." Twilight said as she turned into Dying.
"Hi, remember me?" Dying said as she smiled showing off her sharp teeth to the gathered nobles.
"Guards!" Blueblood yelled.
"Their dead. I ate them." Dying said as she liked her lips. Blueblood looked like he was about to vomit.
"Wh... What are you going to do to us?" One of the female nobels asked.
"Well I think that i'm going to...murder and then eat all of your snobbish asses."Dying said as crystals shot from the ground and impaled all of the nobles except for Blueblood, who pissed himself. The bodies of the nobles were absorbed into the crystals and all of their strength and knowledge went to Dying. There was also a very weird taste."Eww, absorbing all those nobels left a bad taste in my mouth." Dying said. While she was rambling about the taste of the nobels, Blueblood snuck past her and left the building.
"Uh Dying Blueblood just escaped." Twilight said.
"Oh, well you up for a good old fashion asshole chase?" Dying asked.
"Always." Twilight replied."Ooo we should set the mood."
"Agreed." Dying said."Do you mind if I use that found you found? I want to play some music."
"Go right ahead." Twilight said. Dying lit her horn and before anyone knew it the moon was up and the sun was out of site. Dying sniffed the air and got Blueblood's scent.
"Don't run Blueblood. You can't escape me." Dying said as she pushed the play button and music started to play from the phone she had in her magic.
Blueblood ran through the streets of Canterlot without a real destination in mind. There were only two things on his mind getting away from the monster and why it was suddenly night time. He heard some distant music that was continuously saying "The nights not over yet, you can't me!" He saw a shadow fly over head and then Dying landed in front of him.
"Where are you going, the fun's just beginning." Dying said with a wide smile on her face."I wonder what color you will bleed?" Dying said as she inched closer to Blueblood. Blueblood looked at her with fear in his eyes.
"You can't kill me." Blueblood said.
"Oh yeah, why is that?" Dying asked.
"If you do then my aunt will never forgive Princess Twilight" Blueblood said and Dying stopped moving. Blueblood saw the opportunity to run but didn't get the chance. Dying spoke once again.
"Well then if I can't kill you, i'll just have to hurt you really really bad." Dying said."Sound good to you brainmate?"
"I think it's a wonderful idea." Twilight replied.
"Excellent!" Dying said as she looked at Blueblood. Blueblood back up against a wall and stared death in her eyes. Dying inched closer and closer towards Blueblood, but before she could do anything there was a voice heard from above her and she saw two shadows descending from the clouds.
"Enough!" Yelled Celestia as she and her sister landed behind Dying and Blueblood.
"Thanks goodness. My aunts have come to rescue me." Blueblood said. He tried to move towards his aunts but he was stopped by Dying. She was standing on her hind legs and had Blueblood by the collar of his suit.
"They have only delayed your punishment." Dying said looking at Blueblood. Celestia spoke again.
"Why are you hunting my nephew?" Celestia asked.
"Cause he tried to get rid of me and Twilight for good." Dying replied.
"Surely that is a false tale?" Luna said.
"Is it Blueblood?" Celestia said turning her attention to her nephew.
"Why of course it is, this crazy mare is only trying to decive you." Blueblood replied.
"Oh i'm the one trying to decive the Princesses. Ok well how about I tell them about your contacts attacking and ponynapping Twilight?" Dying said.
"What?!" Celestia and Luna yelled in unison.
"Yup he had his connections come after Twilight and bring her to that abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city. He and the other nobles that were present at the meeting yesterday came up with the plan." Dying said
"Where are the other nobles?" Celestia asked.
"That's a story for another time." Dying replied."Anyway I was just about give Blueblood his punishment."
"What dost thou hast in mind for our dear nephew?" Luna asked.
"Oh shit, we can not do what we planned at least not infront of them." Twilight said.
"Um, we acually don't have anything at the moment" Dying lied.
"Well we can find suitable punishment when we get back to the castle." Celestia said."
"Sounds good to me." Dying said."What do you think brainmate?" Dying asked. "She said that's good with her also." Dying said as Celestia and Luna shared a look.
"One more thing Dying." Celestia said.
"Yes?" Dying replied.
"Can you please raise the sun?" Celestia said.
"Oh yeah, sorry." Dying said as she lit her horn and the sun was back in its rightful place in the sky."Lets get back to the castle."
"Agreed." Luna said as the three Princesses and the noble Prince made their way back to the castle.
