Dash's Freedom

by Speedy Silverstreak

The coup

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A few days have passed since the Silverstreaks rescued Rainbow Dash from the horrible prison she was in and now came the time to kidnap Celestia. Their plan was thought out thoroughly and carefully with any possible problems resolved. Passion had the main role in the beginning stage of the plan.

Passion

Passion walked through the darkened halls of the castle on her nightly rounds. She knew Luna would be upset about this if she found out but she knew it would be for a good cause. She silently guided through the halls past her guards towards the castle kitchen. Usually at this time the cooks would be sleeping but some either stayed up through the night or woke up early to make Celestia her morning cake.

She entered the kitchen to see half a dozen chefs busy making cakes that would put Pinkie Pie to shame. She soon spotted the biggest one and set to work. Passion pulled out a syringe with a needle and a bottle containing a special poison joke Twilight got from Zecora. The poison joke would return her to her original form within a day with minor to medium hallucinations throughout her day.

Passion inserted the needle into the bottle and sucked out the poison. It glowed dark blue in the syringe but quickly disappeared as Passion injected the cake with poison joke. She also pulled out some sleeping powder and sprinkled it on the cake as well. She knew that the powder would need awhile to take effect but the poison joke would be almost immediate.

Vanderhoof

Van walked the halls of the castle towards Celestia's bedroom planning to awake her. The guard was willing to disguise him as a guard in order for Passions plan to take effect. He soon arrived at her door and knocked a couple times.

“Time to arise your highness. You breakfast cakes are waiting in the dining hall.”

Van then grabbed the door handle as a container of the same poison joke sent the liquid onto the handle seeping into the metal. He knew with the door laced with poison joke when Celestia would touch it the effect will take place. Van then quickly got into position next to the door as Celestia grabbed the handle from the other side and left her room.

Celestia wore a golden silk dress with white edging and golden wristbands. She also wore her necklace and crown with sparkling high heel shoes. She gave a soft smile to Van and walked towards the dining hall. Van smirked and followed from a distance. As Celestia walked she started getting the feeling somepony was watching her but shrugged it off.

Once In the dining hall Celestia sat in her chair at the end of the table and started to pick out which cake from the pile to eat first. She soon decided on a small chocolate one and started to eat it savoring the flavor. Throughout all the cake eating Van stood outside peeking in watching her eat. He knew the poison joke was in all the cakes after Passions late night cake baking and assumed the amount consumed will go as plan perfectly.

Soon after eating Celestia cleaned herself off and left the dining hall towards her throne room. As she walked she kept imagining somepony spying on her but as she looked around she didn't see anypony besides the two guards escorting her up front. She then arrived into her throne room and sat down on her golden throne to begin her daily routine as ruler of Equestria.

After some hours of talking with diplomats and sleeping in boredom a stallion dressed in black clothing and armor entered the hall. He didn't say anything but walked up to the throne and set a file down at her feet then left. Celestia knew the pony was from the prison she sent Rainbow Dash to. The thought of Rainbow made Celestia scowl in anger, how she thought Equestria cares more about six stupid ponies over their own ruler.

She picked up the file and opened it expecting a report saying Dash died somehow but was surprised at what she saw. The file contained pictures of the aftermath of the attack and some security pictures of three disguised ponies killing the guards and destroying the cameras. The last pictures she saw was a autopsy of a guard with brand marks on him and another picture of the intruder branding him.

Celestia kept reading the reports and sighed in relief when it showed recent reports that Dash's cell was still active. As she set the file off to the side she thought she heard a pony talk to her.

Jealously……

Celestia looked around and saw only her guards from the other side of the throne room. She sat back in her throne as she pondered why the prison was attacked as the voice spoke again to her.

Ungrateful…….

Celestia looked around and saw only the guards that were as still as stone statues. She then noticed at the base of her throne a pony looking at her with black eyes. The pony was covered head to toe in blood and had a few stray hairs of multicolor mane on his body. His right arm was all muscle and bone and soon gleamed metallic and chrome. He then opened his mouth as blood poured out and spoke pointing his skinless arm at her.

Monster……

She panicked and was about to scream when the figure disappeared as she blinked her eyes. She looked around and as per usual her guards stood in place. Celestia calmed down and slumped into her throne and dosed off. She didn't care if another diplomat came since the guards would tell them to come later.

That evening Celestia sat in her private room in a cold sweat. Ever since that morning her visions kept getting worse and worse. Sometimes it was that blood pony other times it were two others and even one as Rainbow Dash. They all were blood covered and had black eyes and always said those words that haunt her.

Jealously……..

Ungrateful……….

Monster……….

Those three words she kept constantly hearing throughout the day. First it was a few times but gradually progressed to constantly being heard. Celestia covered her ears and tried to block out the voices coming from around her. She then decided that maybe sleep will help her as she grabbed a bottle of sleeping pills and took some. She hoped she could enter a deep sleep and that Luna will give her good dreams.

Speedy

On a rooftop a distance away from Canterlot castle Speedy sat and looked through his long range binoculars towards the castle. Everything was set so all that had to happen is for the poison joke to take its full effect. Soon he saw a yellow glow from Celestia's room and got prepared to fire the zipline. The Zipline was connected to a launcher similar to one that fires rockets and used a targeting system for long range travel.

Speedy held up the launcher and aimed for the precise spot and fired. The line flew high into the air and landed right where he aimed, above Celestia's balcony door. He then grabbed onto the line and with expert stealth crawled along the wire to the castle.

After a few minutes he eventually made it to the balcony and quietly entered Celestia's room. Being as silent as possible he walked through the room to the princess's bed. Celestia laid there sound asleep but instead of being a alicorn she was turned into her earth pony form. Speedy carefully bound and gagged the princess and carried her back to the balcony.

He then pulled out a harness and strapped it around Celestia and hooked her to the line. Speedy then hooked himself to her and silently zipped down the zipline to the roof. He disconnected them from the wire and let it retract back to the launcher. He soon packed everything up and carried the equipment and Celestia to a black van in the alley.

He set Celestia onto the floor and tied her to floor mounted hooks so if she woke up she couldn't escape. He then got into the driver's seat and drove from Canterlot back to Twilight's castle for her to give Celestia her proper punishment.
