Abuse 2by Ember_ArtsChaptersChapter OneChapter TwoChapter ThreeChapter OneSince leaving the house, I have felt a new sense of freedom I never had my whole life. Nopony questioned me or the thing hanging from my neck and walking so long without a neck cramp from looking down so much felt like bliss. The only things I brought in my ex-sister Sun’s saddlebag was a few hygiene supplies (soap, mane shampoo, and conditioner, toothbrushes, etc), my Father’s Bit card, which contained his entire fortune, and a few apples to eat. Now free, I also knew I needed a place to stay. I was utterly lost, so I got a taxi to the nearest motel. Obviously, my taxi driver thought he was so clever, and took me to the farthest motel he could find to run up the fare. I didn’t bother arguing him, deciding to just pay him and leave. Also, the logo above the motel and the one on his dashboard matched, making me think he was being paid to bring ponies here instead of any other place. The place was rather nice, bowls of candy on the front desk, and hot towels in your bathroom. This was a perfect place to stay. … After showering, I decided on a plan. I wasn’t sure how many ponies would be looking for me or my parents. Though it was unlikely anypony would care, anyway, my plan was to go to Ponyville and live the life I was robbed. I knew I was never going to let go of the pain I went through. It was so deeply rooted in my past, removing it just felt wrong. But all the same, I could possibly never come back to Canterlot. … Outside the motel, was a large all-you-can-eat restaurant. After paying for my meal, I ate the biggest meal I had in my entire life. Mashed potatoes, grits, lemonade, fries, roasted Brussels sprouts, cakes and cookies, ice cream, toast, eggs, squash, the works. I was munching so hard ponies began to stare at me. Up until now, it never occurred to me how malnourished I was compared to everypony else, I was only fed the bare minimum for my survival. Downing a glass of ice tea, a worker came up to me and asked me to leave. “Sorry, I’m enjoying myself too much,” I laughed, stuffing a wad of vegetables into my mouth. “You’re acting like a dirt pony,” he snickered. I felt like roasting him into oblivion, how dare he say such things. I glared at him. “What’s wrong with being an earth pony,” I asked. “Well, what strengths could such a weakling posses?” He chuckled. “Well, they grew all the food in this place,” I stated. “Most of this is magically made, I mean Canterlot has no room for farming,” he added. “Ponyville has room for farms and cities,” I quipped, stopping him before he could retort, “I’m finished with my meal.” I tossed a few bits on the table and quickly trotted out. Ugh, I swear these snotty unicorns thinking that earth ponies are inferior to them need to be taught a lesson. Starting with the main problem, the royalty. The next day I stopped at the library for more information about the alicorn amulet. And apparently, only I can take it off and the more I use it the more corrupted I get. But I found a spell that could combat corruption spells. I tore the page out and stuffed it in my saddle bag quickly. I also ripped out many pages on defensive spells. One book contained some many good things that I’d almost ripped all the pages out. So I decided to stuff the whole book into my saddlebag. … On my way to the motel, the mare at the desk asked where I stayed and I told her second floor. She hissed, “sorry, somepony rented out the whole floor to herself, you’re going to have to stay somewhere else.” “Who?” I asked sharply. “Fleur de Lee,” the mare cooed as if she was speaking of the most beautiful pony in the world. And I had heard of this mare, she was a supermodel and even spoke with my mother about her fashion magazine. Fleur had connections to Fancy Pants, and Fancy had connections to Blue Blood, and Blue Blood had connections to the princesses. I stifled a grin and asked to retrieve my things before I moved to a room on the first floor. I knew which room was Fleur’s because it was the only one with a Do Not Disturb sign on the door handle. 204, I quickly saved that number into my brain. The clerk opened my door with her universal key before storing it in a pocket on her vest, also something I’d need to make a mental note for. I quickly gathered my things, which were just my bathroom products and a blanket from the closet. … After settling into my new room, I read through some of the spells I took. One described an easy levitation spell. And the other a complex spell to time travel. After practicing them both to near perfection, I headed out again. I had a few hours of daylight left so I used them going to the grocery store. A plan to kill Fleur was already rattling in my mind, I planned to use something to cut off her magic that way I can keep her horn intact. If I removed it I’d be killing an earth pony, and that’s the last thing I want to do. While browsing the aisle I found exactly what I needed Rat Poison. It was a blue can that would sprinkle white flakes specifically for the rats to eat. On the back was a warning to not consume, if you did it’d cause tightness in the throat and chest as well as magical blocks. Perfect. I strolled into the checkout, four cans of the poison in my hoof. “Please insert your card,” the cashier stated. I inserted Father’s bit card and snickered to myself. “Put in the PIN.” “The PIN,” I asked, confused. “Into the keypad,” the cashier added. A PIN code? No, I never heard Father’s PIN code or any code before. “Nevermind,” she smiled, noticing my father’s profile picture as the card’s information rendered. “You must be his grocer?” “Yeah,” I said quickly, happy to finally be able to leave that store. I made my way to my hotel and carefully planned out Fleur’s murder. I examined my own room to find where the cameras where, one above the bed, one in the kitchenette, and two in the front door and outdoor. I laughed instantly, having the perfect way to bypass all the cameras. Chapter TwoI smiled memorizing a spell to make me invisible, once cast I smiled and stared at the camera in front of Fleur’s room. The camera wouldn’t be able to pick me up unless someone like Celestia read the tapes for magical feed, but that was very unlikely. Dumb unicorns. I drew the same energy I felt the day I killed my parents and pushed it out. My fur tingled with static as a clean sweep of electricity wiped out the security camera, the camera screen cracked and sparks flew from it. I readied myself to withdraw more surges of energy before I knocked on Fleur’s door. She was there indefinitely and I grasped a notepad and pencil from my saddlebag, part of my disguise. “Why brings you here,” Fleur asked, “darling?” “I’m Starry Spoon, editor for Fashion Magazine, I’m here for an interview,” I said, I rehearsed those lines thousands of times in front of a mirror. “Hmm, they never contacted me in advance…” I held my breath. “But alright!” She smiled, opening the door wider, “come in.” I trotted past her, her motel was a lot neater than mine and her desk was filled with papers, all about her and her ‘career.’ “May I have your finest tea,” I asked. She nodded and went to the kitchenette to prepare it. I spun on my heels turning to each corner of the room and zapping all the cameras I saw, I couldn’t nab the one in the kitchenette, soi just noted to not show my face there. She came back quickly with a large tray of tea and sugar cubes in her magic. She set it on the table, and after sitting, she asked, “one lump or two?” Too late, I was already hovering many cubes into my tea and stirring it with my hoof. “Dear, that necklace you have is absolutely tacky,” she said, noticing my amulet. “Yeah, it was on sale so I nabbed it,” I said after a quick sip. “On sale, how dreadful,” Fleur coed. “Can you get some more sugar cubes,” I asked. She grinned and stood to get it. This was my chance. I snatched the rat poison out of my saddlebag, twisting it until the top popped off, I hovered it upside down over her tea and sprinkled it until a nice peak formed on top the liquid. I heard her enter again so I quickly snapped the lid on a tucked it into my bag, my magic making it easy to quickly stir her drink till it dissolved. She smiled and set a bowl of sugar cubes on the table. “Now what do you want to interview me on?” I felt a sudden surge of excitement, I changed it and said; “Your death,” I chuckled. “My what,” she said, taking a long sip from the tea. “Drink some tea,” I stated, she took another sip. “I’m reporting on your death.” The next sip brought a long cough from her chest. She heaved, scratching at her throat desperately. He faces began to blue and her eyes bludged. “Help me...help-help!” Fleur choked. She stumbled out her chair, knocking herself to the ground. I stood over her, grinning. “Not so tough now,” I laughed even more as her horn flickered out, “and no magic? Poor little unicorn too weak to use her magic.” I kicked her ribs, sending her on to her back, I then placed a hoof on her chest, not that she was strong enough to fight me anyway. “Why?” “Because you are your kind think it’s okay to stomp out other earth ponies,” I spat. “Aren’t you a unicorn?” Fleur groaned, coughing over and over. “Only so I can weed out mice like you,” I chuckled and the irony of it all. “I planted rat poison in your tea, fitting for a scum like you.” She opened her mouth to scream, to plead, whatever it was it didn’t matter. Her life was in my hooves and that power alone allowed me to relate to my ex-parents in a whole-nother level. “We must wrap this up dear, lest somepony come in and witness this,” I smiled, “so, how do you want to die?” She sobbed out right now, her whimpers interrupted only by her coughs. “Ahh, the death of a unicorn so rich!” I could feel her life force draining, almost as if it had an electrical charge. I greedily slurped her soul into my own life force, feeling stronger than ever before. Before her body finally slipped away, she vomited, her stomach making one last attempt to shove the bile out her system, too late, without a life force she was merely a shell, a shell that died instantly. I rode an emotional wave of endorphins since Fleur’s death. Of course, newspapers all read a few days later: FASHION MOGUL FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL! SUDDEN DEATH OF SUPERMODEL ROCKS CANTERLOT! Ugh, I can’t believe these ponies, she died who cares? I knew I had to move on quickly, packing up my things and heading on to the next hotel. This one had a nice peachy wall color. It had one room. A small twin sized bed, a green sofa, and a plasma television. And an odd painting on the wall. It was so ugly, my horn glowed as I hovered it off the wall and placed it on the bed. I gasped, finding a safe behind the wall. The code was reset allowing me to open it and set my own code. I grinned and placed the Alicorn Amulet inside and snapped it shut. The code was 4508. I flicked the television on. Right now the Grand Galloping Gala was starting. The news mare standing in front Canterlot castle wore a big smile as she explained tonight’s event. The camera panned to Princess Celestia. “Tonight is a momentous occasion, tonight we celebrate the honor and legacy of Fleur De Lis. a great mare who was very close to me at the time of her tragic death.” I growled at the screen. I had grown to hate the princesses so much. My horn gleamed as it pushed the codes in. I hovered the necklace to my neck and snapped it on, my eyes flashed red once more. I was going to kill Princess Celestia. Tonight! I hopped out the taxis, dropping two bits on the dashboard and hurrying into the line for the castle. I had stopped by a thrift store to by an old black and brown dress and some odd hat that looked like a raven threw up on it. It would do fine for what I had planned. I slowly made my way to the front. “Ticket, ma’am?” The guard asked. I stammered, “I’m here to see Celestia herself. She said I didn’t need a ticket.” “I doubt that,” he spat. “Did I ask if you doubted me, step aside, mister,” I growled back. He rolled his eyes and let me inside. I quickly hurried up the steps, lifting the dress hem up so I could trot faster. I eyed the roof above, there were many clear pipes, hidden under a cloaking spell. But it was clear they were sprinklers; so I couldn’t just set this place ablaze. I looked around the hallway and when I found it I trotted inside. I hurried down the walkway, slipping out my horseshoes to move much more silently. Up ahead, I heard the churning sound of a shower. I knocked on the door. “Who is it?” A voice stated. “The...maid!” I lied. The door was hovered open and inside was Blue Blood, taking a shower. “Why are you here?” I asked. “Why are you here,” he asked, lifting an eyebrow. “I was sent by Celestia, you must come fast.” “Taking a shower, some stupid, mud pony touched me.” He grumbled, stepping back under the stream of hot water. “Alright,” I frowned as the door was slammed in my face. I rolled my eyes and continued upstairs to the kitchen. It was very empty, seeing how the focus would be on the party down below. I entered and found just what I was looking for. I ripped the toaster out the wall, the outlet ripped away and sparkled with electricity. I unplugged it and hurried back to Blue Blood. I knocked again. “What!?” “This is the maid,” I said flatly. He was annoying. He hovered the door open, unmoving from the bathtub. He had submerged himself inside it. A green sludge around his face with slices of cucumbers over his eyes. “Celestia needs you quickly, she wants to make a toast,” I said, laughing to myself at my own pun. I plugged the toaster into the outlet by the sink. “Tell her she can hold her horses, I’m busy,” Blue Blood whined. I smacked my hoof into the toaster, sending it flying into the bath. “Busy getting murdered?” I said over his loud shrieks. My horn glowed as I shot another bolt of electricity into the water. His muscles stretched taut as his eyes bulge outward. The slices of cucumbers fell off and the water splashed onto me. I recoiled, horn glowing again as I zipped his muzzle shut, pushing his head underwater. I felt it there as the rest of his body spasmed out. After a minute or two I released my magical hold and he slumped down. Body attempting to float in the diluted water. I slimed, hovering a cucumber into my mouth. I slowly munched on it as I continued back to the Grand Galloping Gala. I halted as I almost crash into a dark blue figure overlooking the celebration from an almost balcony. I had just run into Princess Luna. Who I hated, but could tolerate. “Oh,” I bowed low. “Princess Luna.” “No need for that, my little pony,” she sighed. “I’m just hanging around.” “By yourself,” I asked. “Oh. Nopony really wants to hang with me anyway,” Luna frowned. “Neither do I- I mean, nobody wants to hang with me too,” I stammered. “Perhaps we can keep each other’s company.” Luna asked, “Hmph.” “What?” “You’re necklace looks so close to the Alicorn Amulet, an evil artifact. But no...you couldn’t get your hooves on-” I cut her off with a powerful jolt of energy, paralyzing her instantly. Her eyes shot wide as the current opt through her. I sighed and placed her on my back. She wasn’t moving even if I wanted her too. I trotted downstairs to see Celestia and Twilight greeting ponies in the front. I cleared my throat. I had to look intimidating else this wouldn’t work. And I only had one shot. “FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS!” I boomed. The room fell silent as I dumped Luna off my back, she smacked against the marble tiles. “It is I, Starry Spoon, you may not know me, but you will know me very soon. Around my neck is the Alicorn Amulet. And I WILL be taking over Equestria!” A collective gasp hushed throughout the room and Twilight Sparkle stepped forward. “No, you won’t! The power of friendship-” I zapped her quickly, not caring for the classic monologue trope played out so many times. She dropped down, spazzing in pain as her muscles were forced taut. She squealed, mane sizzling, her hips thrust skyward as she pissed herself all over the floor. Celestia yelled, tears forming in her eyes. She sped towards me and I threw up a protective bubble. I blasted her back with a stream of blue magic. The crowd screamed, galloping in all direction to escape. I focused my magic on the sun butt herself. My horn charged like a flame as I electrocuted the princess. Her horn flickered in an attempt to put up a protective barrier but failed many times. Her fur was burnt off, falling off in small strands. Her flesh was exposed and burned as well. A loud explosion like a cannon sounded from her horn as it exploded in a hailstorm of bone fragments and shards. I reared up cycling loud as the entire castle went up in a large explosion from my rush of power. The amulet feeding off the greatest act of evil a pony could commit. I protected myself with a bubble of magic but the debris crashing into it was almost too much. I groaned, my horn feeling like it was being yanked off. I sighed as the dust settled, hovering myself on top of the mess. I looked around and only saw the destruction. I did it! I killed the princesses. I groaned and dragged Celestia by her tail next to me. She was alive. “Make me an alicorn,” I urged. “Huh?” “Make me an alicorn! Now, I defeated you once,” I sneered. “Can’t my horn!” She cried out as I fished the broken appendage on and sewed it back into its place. Her horn glowed; testing if the connection was there. She attempted to blast me but I flicked up a shield which reflected the blast and back onto her. She groaned as she collapsed back down on the rubble. “No…” she sobbed. “Yes, yes, yes!” I laughed. “Make me an alicorn, and I’ll cease my destruction of Equestria.” Celestia looked into my eyes, searching for something; maybe to see if I was lying, or if I could be trusted at all. She nodded slowly, her horn glowing brightly as I was thrust into a teal void. My life flashed before me like a slideshow and it was really boring. I felt big wings form at my sides. Suddenly, I was jerked back. Celestia had vomited at my hooves. Too weak to even continue a basic spell. Well, it was basic to me. The power surging through me as immense. And it made me feel so untouchable. I kicked her in the snout, sending her rolling back. I flapped my wings and took flight, fluttering down to her other side, so she could see me. “I lied,” I chuckled. “No! You didn’t lie! I saw into your eyes and...and…” “When I used that shield spell I also used an Infestis spell to conceal my lies, I was lying to you and you couldn’t even tell, because of you the world will burn, and countless of worlds within my magical reach.” Celestia sighed, how could she be fooled so easily? “It’s time to end your insufferable life? How does it feel living forever and just now experiencing the agony of an inescapable death?” “I’m not ready, I’ve never been ready, but I know that you will be stopped,” she hissed, rolling over, hooves crossed as she looked skyward. At the sky full of ash and darkened like it was on fire. “By who? The magic of friendship, puh-lease,” I chuckled. My horn glowed as I jolted her with more energy. I took it slow, the force strong enough to make her spaz but not enough for an serious pain. I turned up the notch, horn glowing brighter. She roared and ethereal scream as the pain was more than she could bear. I could describe how she felt as I felt the same agony. Black dots swimming throughout your vision. Vocal chords shredded as your lungs let in air and pushed it out in an endless shriek. I felt my power raise tenfold and the heinous act. I had to thank the creator of this trinket. Her eyes slowly snapped shut as her heart simply exploded from beating so fast. Her lungs popping like balloons as well. I giggled, casting my eyes up; towards Ponyville. Chapter Three“What happened?” Cadence asked she was feeding Flurry Heart with a bottle full of milk. “Canterlot just exploded!” Flash Sentry said to Cadence and her husband. “We were flying on the outskirts as directed by the princesses, searching for Fleur’s killer when it just went up in flames.” “I sensed Twilight’s aura completely fade, same with Luna’s, but Celestia’s took awhile before it vanished,” Cadence explained. “What is strong enough to kill them,” Shining said. “I only know Discord, but he couldn’t do that, he wouldn’t; he’s reformed!” “Maybe Queen Chrysalis, she could have posed as Celestia,” Flash said. “Can’t be, I felt Celestia aura, not somepony hidden as her.” Cadence frowned. “All Alicorns are linked, even alicorns that just become alicorns five minutes ago. And I keep feeling another aura, like another alicorn, do you think it’s she who attacked Canterlot?” “It seems that’s the only explanation, I’ll order a platoon of pegasi soldiers to search over Canterlot from the air,” Shining said and quickly trotted off. Flurry flinched, seeming uneasy as she awoke from her nap. She began to sniffle as if she was preparing to cry. “Flurry what’s the matter?” “Maybe she knows I’m not Flash,” Flash smiled. A glitz of blue light surrounded the orange guard and relieved Starry Spoon! She laughed. “A simple cloaking spell and you bought it? I mean, why would we even be searching the outskirts for Fleur’s killer. Such a dunce.” She hovered Flurry out of Cadence’s hooves, who was completely frozen in fear. Starry placed many kisses on the young one’s face. “You! You’re the aura I sensed, b-b-but how, I would have felt you in this room,” Cadence stuttered. “The cloaking spell doubles as an invisibility spell, allowing me to slide under the aura. I didn’t even know about them until I felt you moving to the Crystal Empire and knew you’d feel me.” Starry laughed, gently moving onto her haunches. “How old is the little one? And what’s her name?” “F-flurry Heart, she’s only a year old,” Cadence frowned on the edge of glory. “Perfect! She won’t remember you. But she’ll remember me because I’m exactly who’s she’s coming with,” She laughed, her horn igniting. Cadence wasn’t met with the normal static instead of a horrible burning sensation from the inside of her. Starry had hold of all the elements of nature. Cadence vomited, her stomach contents bubbling up like a pot on a stove. Starry glared at her, using her magic to scoop the regulated food up and rubbed it all over the pink alicorn. She hovered Cadence in the center of the room to scrub it into the deepest service. Starry cranked up the heat, watching blood drool out Cadence’s nose, her tears slide out before evaporating too. Cadence would have screamed if she didn’t have her mouth cranked shut. Starry recoiled as vomit jetted out Cadence’s nose. Her face turning bright red. Her hair caught on fire from the extreme heat on her skin. First a small puff of smoke than a whole orange blaze and ruined her mane and tail. Starry quickly dropped Cadence less Shining come back. She resumed her form as Flash Sentry and trotted out, quickly locking the door shut. I laughed at my successful kill of Cadence. The amulet seemed to just eat up all this evil and transfer it into power. I hadn’t much time to read up on scrolls or spells on the train ride, nor the stop at my hotel room, so this spell was completely made by me. “Flash, where is Cadence? Why do you have Flurry Heart,” Shining asked incredulously. “Cadence went to the bathroom, she wanted me to take Flurry out for some air,” I lied. Shining nodded and trotted off. I chuckled and continued on, I quickly veered for the exit, flapping my wings and lifting off shakily; I wasn’t used to my wings all the way. I quickly took a new form once I entered my bedroom. It was a unicorn mare with pale pink fur and plum purple mane. Her cutie mark was a star and arrow. I set Flurry down gently. I needed to go out for baby food. I cast a sleep spell on Flurry that I used on myself in the train ride that would wear off in 2 hours. I grabbed my saddle pack and ventured onto the street. They hadn’t yet gotten news of Canterlot, but it was still fairly empty. I went to a retail store and went into the infant section. I purchased twelve packets of foal formula, a blanket, and a box of diapers. The cashier rang me up and I quickly stowed them in my saddle pack next to the alicorn amulet. I settled it back on my back and trotted outside. There was a convenient t.v store that ponies were crowded around as it was displaying the news. It was showing drone footage, likely a camera strapped to one of the pegasi guards of the ruined Canterlot city. The buildings were reduced to chunks of cement and iron. I could see ash covered limbs and heads sticking out, staining their surroundings in blood. Over a million ponies lived in Canterlot. And they were all dead, my kill count was more than a million! I tried and failed to hide my smirk, so I continued back to the hotel room and sighed as I clicked on a cartoon show. My hotel was a lot better than in Canterlot for the same price! It had a queen-sized bed, a window, two couches. And the bathroom had a bathtub not the cramped shower from my previous stays. Speaking of which, I trotted into the bathroom and used the provided toothbrush and tube of toothpaste to brush my teeth. I then eased into the bathroom, turning on the rainstorm of warm water. I scrubbed mango and pomegranate 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner into my mane. Letting it soak in the tub. After a while, I heard faint crying. It was Flurry Heart, she must have finally awoken and was hungry or had shit herself. I grumbled and drained the tub, using a towel to dry off my body and wrapped my mane up as I went into the bedroom. Flurry looked at me, she let out a string of unintelligible babbling, but I assume she was asking for Cadence, I levitated her, she giggled and I took her into the kitchen. I mixed the formula together and placed it into the bottle already provided. Flurry laughed before suckling on it, taking it in all hour hooves. I quickly lit my horn, casting a cloaking spell over her to look more like my foal and to hide her alicorn wings. This would also prevent Shining from tracking her. I turned back to the news, which Flurry did not appreciate. But I had to see this; news outlets tend to give away too much information, which would greatly help me. I mean, I was the strongest pony in Equestria. Nothing really was stopping me from rushing to Shining and killing him too. But this was fun! I don’t know why. It was Shining announcing the collapse of Canterlot, and Cadence’s death and Flurry Heart’s disappearance. He was sending a group of unicorns to the Crystal Empire castle to raise the moon and lower the sun. He finished by announcing a public memorial for the lost princesses. I knew this was the perfect time to strike. I placed Flurry on my back, nothing else matters right now and went to the street. I waved my hoof, calling over a taxi. “How much to the castle?” “Ten bits,” he said in a raspy tone. “Alright,” I smiled, getting onto his cart that he pulled behind him, I set Flurry on my lap and hummed softly to her. I had changed her diaper and wrapped her in the soft blanket. In about half an hour we were there. “Pay up, misses,” he drawled. I sent a zap through his brain, making him pass out. He dropped down and Flurry giggled at him. I chuckled too and trotted to the front entrance. “I came to raise the sun, or lower it, I want to help,” I smiled. “And you’re foal?” “She can’t be home unattended,” I frowned. The guard nodded and escorted me to Shining Armor, there were about twenty ponies, an orange and white pony was talking to Cadence’s husband. “Hey, I’m Sunburst,” the orange and white one said to me when I approached. “I work with Starlight Glimmer, she is Ponyville, I’m so glad!” “She’s your marefriend,” I asked and he blushed a deep shade of red. “Oh, no, no, just a friend.” Sunburst turned to address the unicorns, “Alrighty everypony, ignite your horns and on Shining’s countdown, we will use our basic levitation abilities to lower the sun. You don’t have to strain your magic just do whats comfortable for you!” “3...2...1!” Shining said, their horns glowed, even Sunburst and Shinings. I grinned, ignited my own horn to melt away my disguise. Flurry laughed, hugging my neck as she recognized me. I blasted the ponies, aside from Sunburst and Shining, down in a flare of heat. They screeched as their bodies were instantly charred, their flesh melting off the bone, I watched a mare’s eye pop out and dangle on the optical nerve. Shining roared, “IT'S YOU, YOU KILLED MY WIFE, MY SISTER...my foal! But you won’t hurt anypony else.” “That’s not up to you,” I chuckled. He blasted me with a beam of light but I leaped out the way at the last second. I set Flurry down on a table and kissed her cheek. “Be good for mommy,” I chuckled, taking down her disguise. Shining gasped. “Sunburst get Flurry and go! I’ll handle this terrorist!” Shining roared. I sent a blaze of fire at him, it scorched the front of his chest but he kept going, running off of anger and remorse. I rolled my eyes but grunted when he collided with me. Used to pain, I was on my hooves quickly, I sent a crackle of electricity at him, his muscles pulled to their limits as he was forced into a temporary paralysis. I giggled, ramming my horn through his chest, missing his heart on purpose. Flurry laughed as Sunburst picked her up. “Flurry blast him in the face!” I growled, pulling out my blood covered horn and letting Shining slump down. Flurry obeyed, little horn glowing blue as she set his bread on fire. Sunburst gasped slapping himself to put it out. I took my moment to leap up, I levitated him into the wall, causing a dent in the wall.
Chapter OneSince leaving the house, I have felt a new sense of freedom I never had my whole life. Nopony questioned me or the thing hanging from my neck and walking so long without a neck cramp from looking down so much felt like bliss. The only things I brought in my ex-sister Sun’s saddlebag was a few hygiene supplies (soap, mane shampoo, and conditioner, toothbrushes, etc), my Father’s Bit card, which contained his entire fortune, and a few apples to eat. Now free, I also knew I needed a place to stay. I was utterly lost, so I got a taxi to the nearest motel. Obviously, my taxi driver thought he was so clever, and took me to the farthest motel he could find to run up the fare. I didn’t bother arguing him, deciding to just pay him and leave. Also, the logo above the motel and the one on his dashboard matched, making me think he was being paid to bring ponies here instead of any other place. The place was rather nice, bowls of candy on the front desk, and hot towels in your bathroom. This was a perfect place to stay. … After showering, I decided on a plan. I wasn’t sure how many ponies would be looking for me or my parents. Though it was unlikely anypony would care, anyway, my plan was to go to Ponyville and live the life I was robbed. I knew I was never going to let go of the pain I went through. It was so deeply rooted in my past, removing it just felt wrong. But all the same, I could possibly never come back to Canterlot. … Outside the motel, was a large all-you-can-eat restaurant. After paying for my meal, I ate the biggest meal I had in my entire life. Mashed potatoes, grits, lemonade, fries, roasted Brussels sprouts, cakes and cookies, ice cream, toast, eggs, squash, the works. I was munching so hard ponies began to stare at me. Up until now, it never occurred to me how malnourished I was compared to everypony else, I was only fed the bare minimum for my survival. Downing a glass of ice tea, a worker came up to me and asked me to leave. “Sorry, I’m enjoying myself too much,” I laughed, stuffing a wad of vegetables into my mouth. “You’re acting like a dirt pony,” he snickered. I felt like roasting him into oblivion, how dare he say such things. I glared at him. “What’s wrong with being an earth pony,” I asked. “Well, what strengths could such a weakling posses?” He chuckled. “Well, they grew all the food in this place,” I stated. “Most of this is magically made, I mean Canterlot has no room for farming,” he added. “Ponyville has room for farms and cities,” I quipped, stopping him before he could retort, “I’m finished with my meal.” I tossed a few bits on the table and quickly trotted out. Ugh, I swear these snotty unicorns thinking that earth ponies are inferior to them need to be taught a lesson. Starting with the main problem, the royalty. The next day I stopped at the library for more information about the alicorn amulet. And apparently, only I can take it off and the more I use it the more corrupted I get. But I found a spell that could combat corruption spells. I tore the page out and stuffed it in my saddle bag quickly. I also ripped out many pages on defensive spells. One book contained some many good things that I’d almost ripped all the pages out. So I decided to stuff the whole book into my saddlebag. … On my way to the motel, the mare at the desk asked where I stayed and I told her second floor. She hissed, “sorry, somepony rented out the whole floor to herself, you’re going to have to stay somewhere else.” “Who?” I asked sharply. “Fleur de Lee,” the mare cooed as if she was speaking of the most beautiful pony in the world. And I had heard of this mare, she was a supermodel and even spoke with my mother about her fashion magazine. Fleur had connections to Fancy Pants, and Fancy had connections to Blue Blood, and Blue Blood had connections to the princesses. I stifled a grin and asked to retrieve my things before I moved to a room on the first floor. I knew which room was Fleur’s because it was the only one with a Do Not Disturb sign on the door handle. 204, I quickly saved that number into my brain. The clerk opened my door with her universal key before storing it in a pocket on her vest, also something I’d need to make a mental note for. I quickly gathered my things, which were just my bathroom products and a blanket from the closet. … After settling into my new room, I read through some of the spells I took. One described an easy levitation spell. And the other a complex spell to time travel. After practicing them both to near perfection, I headed out again. I had a few hours of daylight left so I used them going to the grocery store. A plan to kill Fleur was already rattling in my mind, I planned to use something to cut off her magic that way I can keep her horn intact. If I removed it I’d be killing an earth pony, and that’s the last thing I want to do. While browsing the aisle I found exactly what I needed Rat Poison. It was a blue can that would sprinkle white flakes specifically for the rats to eat. On the back was a warning to not consume, if you did it’d cause tightness in the throat and chest as well as magical blocks. Perfect. I strolled into the checkout, four cans of the poison in my hoof. “Please insert your card,” the cashier stated. I inserted Father’s bit card and snickered to myself. “Put in the PIN.” “The PIN,” I asked, confused. “Into the keypad,” the cashier added. A PIN code? No, I never heard Father’s PIN code or any code before. “Nevermind,” she smiled, noticing my father’s profile picture as the card’s information rendered. “You must be his grocer?” “Yeah,” I said quickly, happy to finally be able to leave that store. I made my way to my hotel and carefully planned out Fleur’s murder. I examined my own room to find where the cameras where, one above the bed, one in the kitchenette, and two in the front door and outdoor. I laughed instantly, having the perfect way to bypass all the cameras.
Chapter TwoI smiled memorizing a spell to make me invisible, once cast I smiled and stared at the camera in front of Fleur’s room. The camera wouldn’t be able to pick me up unless someone like Celestia read the tapes for magical feed, but that was very unlikely. Dumb unicorns. I drew the same energy I felt the day I killed my parents and pushed it out. My fur tingled with static as a clean sweep of electricity wiped out the security camera, the camera screen cracked and sparks flew from it. I readied myself to withdraw more surges of energy before I knocked on Fleur’s door. She was there indefinitely and I grasped a notepad and pencil from my saddlebag, part of my disguise. “Why brings you here,” Fleur asked, “darling?” “I’m Starry Spoon, editor for Fashion Magazine, I’m here for an interview,” I said, I rehearsed those lines thousands of times in front of a mirror. “Hmm, they never contacted me in advance…” I held my breath. “But alright!” She smiled, opening the door wider, “come in.” I trotted past her, her motel was a lot neater than mine and her desk was filled with papers, all about her and her ‘career.’ “May I have your finest tea,” I asked. She nodded and went to the kitchenette to prepare it. I spun on my heels turning to each corner of the room and zapping all the cameras I saw, I couldn’t nab the one in the kitchenette, soi just noted to not show my face there. She came back quickly with a large tray of tea and sugar cubes in her magic. She set it on the table, and after sitting, she asked, “one lump or two?” Too late, I was already hovering many cubes into my tea and stirring it with my hoof. “Dear, that necklace you have is absolutely tacky,” she said, noticing my amulet. “Yeah, it was on sale so I nabbed it,” I said after a quick sip. “On sale, how dreadful,” Fleur coed. “Can you get some more sugar cubes,” I asked. She grinned and stood to get it. This was my chance. I snatched the rat poison out of my saddlebag, twisting it until the top popped off, I hovered it upside down over her tea and sprinkled it until a nice peak formed on top the liquid. I heard her enter again so I quickly snapped the lid on a tucked it into my bag, my magic making it easy to quickly stir her drink till it dissolved. She smiled and set a bowl of sugar cubes on the table. “Now what do you want to interview me on?” I felt a sudden surge of excitement, I changed it and said; “Your death,” I chuckled. “My what,” she said, taking a long sip from the tea. “Drink some tea,” I stated, she took another sip. “I’m reporting on your death.” The next sip brought a long cough from her chest. She heaved, scratching at her throat desperately. He faces began to blue and her eyes bludged. “Help me...help-help!” Fleur choked. She stumbled out her chair, knocking herself to the ground. I stood over her, grinning. “Not so tough now,” I laughed even more as her horn flickered out, “and no magic? Poor little unicorn too weak to use her magic.” I kicked her ribs, sending her on to her back, I then placed a hoof on her chest, not that she was strong enough to fight me anyway. “Why?” “Because you are your kind think it’s okay to stomp out other earth ponies,” I spat. “Aren’t you a unicorn?” Fleur groaned, coughing over and over. “Only so I can weed out mice like you,” I chuckled and the irony of it all. “I planted rat poison in your tea, fitting for a scum like you.” She opened her mouth to scream, to plead, whatever it was it didn’t matter. Her life was in my hooves and that power alone allowed me to relate to my ex-parents in a whole-nother level. “We must wrap this up dear, lest somepony come in and witness this,” I smiled, “so, how do you want to die?” She sobbed out right now, her whimpers interrupted only by her coughs. “Ahh, the death of a unicorn so rich!” I could feel her life force draining, almost as if it had an electrical charge. I greedily slurped her soul into my own life force, feeling stronger than ever before. Before her body finally slipped away, she vomited, her stomach making one last attempt to shove the bile out her system, too late, without a life force she was merely a shell, a shell that died instantly. I rode an emotional wave of endorphins since Fleur’s death. Of course, newspapers all read a few days later: FASHION MOGUL FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL! SUDDEN DEATH OF SUPERMODEL ROCKS CANTERLOT! Ugh, I can’t believe these ponies, she died who cares? I knew I had to move on quickly, packing up my things and heading on to the next hotel. This one had a nice peachy wall color. It had one room. A small twin sized bed, a green sofa, and a plasma television. And an odd painting on the wall. It was so ugly, my horn glowed as I hovered it off the wall and placed it on the bed. I gasped, finding a safe behind the wall. The code was reset allowing me to open it and set my own code. I grinned and placed the Alicorn Amulet inside and snapped it shut. The code was 4508. I flicked the television on. Right now the Grand Galloping Gala was starting. The news mare standing in front Canterlot castle wore a big smile as she explained tonight’s event. The camera panned to Princess Celestia. “Tonight is a momentous occasion, tonight we celebrate the honor and legacy of Fleur De Lis. a great mare who was very close to me at the time of her tragic death.” I growled at the screen. I had grown to hate the princesses so much. My horn gleamed as it pushed the codes in. I hovered the necklace to my neck and snapped it on, my eyes flashed red once more. I was going to kill Princess Celestia. Tonight! I hopped out the taxis, dropping two bits on the dashboard and hurrying into the line for the castle. I had stopped by a thrift store to by an old black and brown dress and some odd hat that looked like a raven threw up on it. It would do fine for what I had planned. I slowly made my way to the front. “Ticket, ma’am?” The guard asked. I stammered, “I’m here to see Celestia herself. She said I didn’t need a ticket.” “I doubt that,” he spat. “Did I ask if you doubted me, step aside, mister,” I growled back. He rolled his eyes and let me inside. I quickly hurried up the steps, lifting the dress hem up so I could trot faster. I eyed the roof above, there were many clear pipes, hidden under a cloaking spell. But it was clear they were sprinklers; so I couldn’t just set this place ablaze. I looked around the hallway and when I found it I trotted inside. I hurried down the walkway, slipping out my horseshoes to move much more silently. Up ahead, I heard the churning sound of a shower. I knocked on the door. “Who is it?” A voice stated. “The...maid!” I lied. The door was hovered open and inside was Blue Blood, taking a shower. “Why are you here?” I asked. “Why are you here,” he asked, lifting an eyebrow. “I was sent by Celestia, you must come fast.” “Taking a shower, some stupid, mud pony touched me.” He grumbled, stepping back under the stream of hot water. “Alright,” I frowned as the door was slammed in my face. I rolled my eyes and continued upstairs to the kitchen. It was very empty, seeing how the focus would be on the party down below. I entered and found just what I was looking for. I ripped the toaster out the wall, the outlet ripped away and sparkled with electricity. I unplugged it and hurried back to Blue Blood. I knocked again. “What!?” “This is the maid,” I said flatly. He was annoying. He hovered the door open, unmoving from the bathtub. He had submerged himself inside it. A green sludge around his face with slices of cucumbers over his eyes. “Celestia needs you quickly, she wants to make a toast,” I said, laughing to myself at my own pun. I plugged the toaster into the outlet by the sink. “Tell her she can hold her horses, I’m busy,” Blue Blood whined. I smacked my hoof into the toaster, sending it flying into the bath. “Busy getting murdered?” I said over his loud shrieks. My horn glowed as I shot another bolt of electricity into the water. His muscles stretched taut as his eyes bulge outward. The slices of cucumbers fell off and the water splashed onto me. I recoiled, horn glowing again as I zipped his muzzle shut, pushing his head underwater. I felt it there as the rest of his body spasmed out. After a minute or two I released my magical hold and he slumped down. Body attempting to float in the diluted water. I slimed, hovering a cucumber into my mouth. I slowly munched on it as I continued back to the Grand Galloping Gala. I halted as I almost crash into a dark blue figure overlooking the celebration from an almost balcony. I had just run into Princess Luna. Who I hated, but could tolerate. “Oh,” I bowed low. “Princess Luna.” “No need for that, my little pony,” she sighed. “I’m just hanging around.” “By yourself,” I asked. “Oh. Nopony really wants to hang with me anyway,” Luna frowned. “Neither do I- I mean, nobody wants to hang with me too,” I stammered. “Perhaps we can keep each other’s company.” Luna asked, “Hmph.” “What?” “You’re necklace looks so close to the Alicorn Amulet, an evil artifact. But no...you couldn’t get your hooves on-” I cut her off with a powerful jolt of energy, paralyzing her instantly. Her eyes shot wide as the current opt through her. I sighed and placed her on my back. She wasn’t moving even if I wanted her too. I trotted downstairs to see Celestia and Twilight greeting ponies in the front. I cleared my throat. I had to look intimidating else this wouldn’t work. And I only had one shot. “FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS!” I boomed. The room fell silent as I dumped Luna off my back, she smacked against the marble tiles. “It is I, Starry Spoon, you may not know me, but you will know me very soon. Around my neck is the Alicorn Amulet. And I WILL be taking over Equestria!” A collective gasp hushed throughout the room and Twilight Sparkle stepped forward. “No, you won’t! The power of friendship-” I zapped her quickly, not caring for the classic monologue trope played out so many times. She dropped down, spazzing in pain as her muscles were forced taut. She squealed, mane sizzling, her hips thrust skyward as she pissed herself all over the floor. Celestia yelled, tears forming in her eyes. She sped towards me and I threw up a protective bubble. I blasted her back with a stream of blue magic. The crowd screamed, galloping in all direction to escape. I focused my magic on the sun butt herself. My horn charged like a flame as I electrocuted the princess. Her horn flickered in an attempt to put up a protective barrier but failed many times. Her fur was burnt off, falling off in small strands. Her flesh was exposed and burned as well. A loud explosion like a cannon sounded from her horn as it exploded in a hailstorm of bone fragments and shards. I reared up cycling loud as the entire castle went up in a large explosion from my rush of power. The amulet feeding off the greatest act of evil a pony could commit. I protected myself with a bubble of magic but the debris crashing into it was almost too much. I groaned, my horn feeling like it was being yanked off. I sighed as the dust settled, hovering myself on top of the mess. I looked around and only saw the destruction. I did it! I killed the princesses. I groaned and dragged Celestia by her tail next to me. She was alive. “Make me an alicorn,” I urged. “Huh?” “Make me an alicorn! Now, I defeated you once,” I sneered. “Can’t my horn!” She cried out as I fished the broken appendage on and sewed it back into its place. Her horn glowed; testing if the connection was there. She attempted to blast me but I flicked up a shield which reflected the blast and back onto her. She groaned as she collapsed back down on the rubble. “No…” she sobbed. “Yes, yes, yes!” I laughed. “Make me an alicorn, and I’ll cease my destruction of Equestria.” Celestia looked into my eyes, searching for something; maybe to see if I was lying, or if I could be trusted at all. She nodded slowly, her horn glowing brightly as I was thrust into a teal void. My life flashed before me like a slideshow and it was really boring. I felt big wings form at my sides. Suddenly, I was jerked back. Celestia had vomited at my hooves. Too weak to even continue a basic spell. Well, it was basic to me. The power surging through me as immense. And it made me feel so untouchable. I kicked her in the snout, sending her rolling back. I flapped my wings and took flight, fluttering down to her other side, so she could see me. “I lied,” I chuckled. “No! You didn’t lie! I saw into your eyes and...and…” “When I used that shield spell I also used an Infestis spell to conceal my lies, I was lying to you and you couldn’t even tell, because of you the world will burn, and countless of worlds within my magical reach.” Celestia sighed, how could she be fooled so easily? “It’s time to end your insufferable life? How does it feel living forever and just now experiencing the agony of an inescapable death?” “I’m not ready, I’ve never been ready, but I know that you will be stopped,” she hissed, rolling over, hooves crossed as she looked skyward. At the sky full of ash and darkened like it was on fire. “By who? The magic of friendship, puh-lease,” I chuckled. My horn glowed as I jolted her with more energy. I took it slow, the force strong enough to make her spaz but not enough for an serious pain. I turned up the notch, horn glowing brighter. She roared and ethereal scream as the pain was more than she could bear. I could describe how she felt as I felt the same agony. Black dots swimming throughout your vision. Vocal chords shredded as your lungs let in air and pushed it out in an endless shriek. I felt my power raise tenfold and the heinous act. I had to thank the creator of this trinket. Her eyes slowly snapped shut as her heart simply exploded from beating so fast. Her lungs popping like balloons as well. I giggled, casting my eyes up; towards Ponyville.
Chapter Three“What happened?” Cadence asked she was feeding Flurry Heart with a bottle full of milk. “Canterlot just exploded!” Flash Sentry said to Cadence and her husband. “We were flying on the outskirts as directed by the princesses, searching for Fleur’s killer when it just went up in flames.” “I sensed Twilight’s aura completely fade, same with Luna’s, but Celestia’s took awhile before it vanished,” Cadence explained. “What is strong enough to kill them,” Shining said. “I only know Discord, but he couldn’t do that, he wouldn’t; he’s reformed!” “Maybe Queen Chrysalis, she could have posed as Celestia,” Flash said. “Can’t be, I felt Celestia aura, not somepony hidden as her.” Cadence frowned. “All Alicorns are linked, even alicorns that just become alicorns five minutes ago. And I keep feeling another aura, like another alicorn, do you think it’s she who attacked Canterlot?” “It seems that’s the only explanation, I’ll order a platoon of pegasi soldiers to search over Canterlot from the air,” Shining said and quickly trotted off. Flurry flinched, seeming uneasy as she awoke from her nap. She began to sniffle as if she was preparing to cry. “Flurry what’s the matter?” “Maybe she knows I’m not Flash,” Flash smiled. A glitz of blue light surrounded the orange guard and relieved Starry Spoon! She laughed. “A simple cloaking spell and you bought it? I mean, why would we even be searching the outskirts for Fleur’s killer. Such a dunce.” She hovered Flurry out of Cadence’s hooves, who was completely frozen in fear. Starry placed many kisses on the young one’s face. “You! You’re the aura I sensed, b-b-but how, I would have felt you in this room,” Cadence stuttered. “The cloaking spell doubles as an invisibility spell, allowing me to slide under the aura. I didn’t even know about them until I felt you moving to the Crystal Empire and knew you’d feel me.” Starry laughed, gently moving onto her haunches. “How old is the little one? And what’s her name?” “F-flurry Heart, she’s only a year old,” Cadence frowned on the edge of glory. “Perfect! She won’t remember you. But she’ll remember me because I’m exactly who’s she’s coming with,” She laughed, her horn igniting. Cadence wasn’t met with the normal static instead of a horrible burning sensation from the inside of her. Starry had hold of all the elements of nature. Cadence vomited, her stomach contents bubbling up like a pot on a stove. Starry glared at her, using her magic to scoop the regulated food up and rubbed it all over the pink alicorn. She hovered Cadence in the center of the room to scrub it into the deepest service. Starry cranked up the heat, watching blood drool out Cadence’s nose, her tears slide out before evaporating too. Cadence would have screamed if she didn’t have her mouth cranked shut. Starry recoiled as vomit jetted out Cadence’s nose. Her face turning bright red. Her hair caught on fire from the extreme heat on her skin. First a small puff of smoke than a whole orange blaze and ruined her mane and tail. Starry quickly dropped Cadence less Shining come back. She resumed her form as Flash Sentry and trotted out, quickly locking the door shut. I laughed at my successful kill of Cadence. The amulet seemed to just eat up all this evil and transfer it into power. I hadn’t much time to read up on scrolls or spells on the train ride, nor the stop at my hotel room, so this spell was completely made by me. “Flash, where is Cadence? Why do you have Flurry Heart,” Shining asked incredulously. “Cadence went to the bathroom, she wanted me to take Flurry out for some air,” I lied. Shining nodded and trotted off. I chuckled and continued on, I quickly veered for the exit, flapping my wings and lifting off shakily; I wasn’t used to my wings all the way. I quickly took a new form once I entered my bedroom. It was a unicorn mare with pale pink fur and plum purple mane. Her cutie mark was a star and arrow. I set Flurry down gently. I needed to go out for baby food. I cast a sleep spell on Flurry that I used on myself in the train ride that would wear off in 2 hours. I grabbed my saddle pack and ventured onto the street. They hadn’t yet gotten news of Canterlot, but it was still fairly empty. I went to a retail store and went into the infant section. I purchased twelve packets of foal formula, a blanket, and a box of diapers. The cashier rang me up and I quickly stowed them in my saddle pack next to the alicorn amulet. I settled it back on my back and trotted outside. There was a convenient t.v store that ponies were crowded around as it was displaying the news. It was showing drone footage, likely a camera strapped to one of the pegasi guards of the ruined Canterlot city. The buildings were reduced to chunks of cement and iron. I could see ash covered limbs and heads sticking out, staining their surroundings in blood. Over a million ponies lived in Canterlot. And they were all dead, my kill count was more than a million! I tried and failed to hide my smirk, so I continued back to the hotel room and sighed as I clicked on a cartoon show. My hotel was a lot better than in Canterlot for the same price! It had a queen-sized bed, a window, two couches. And the bathroom had a bathtub not the cramped shower from my previous stays. Speaking of which, I trotted into the bathroom and used the provided toothbrush and tube of toothpaste to brush my teeth. I then eased into the bathroom, turning on the rainstorm of warm water. I scrubbed mango and pomegranate 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner into my mane. Letting it soak in the tub. After a while, I heard faint crying. It was Flurry Heart, she must have finally awoken and was hungry or had shit herself. I grumbled and drained the tub, using a towel to dry off my body and wrapped my mane up as I went into the bedroom. Flurry looked at me, she let out a string of unintelligible babbling, but I assume she was asking for Cadence, I levitated her, she giggled and I took her into the kitchen. I mixed the formula together and placed it into the bottle already provided. Flurry laughed before suckling on it, taking it in all hour hooves. I quickly lit my horn, casting a cloaking spell over her to look more like my foal and to hide her alicorn wings. This would also prevent Shining from tracking her. I turned back to the news, which Flurry did not appreciate. But I had to see this; news outlets tend to give away too much information, which would greatly help me. I mean, I was the strongest pony in Equestria. Nothing really was stopping me from rushing to Shining and killing him too. But this was fun! I don’t know why. It was Shining announcing the collapse of Canterlot, and Cadence’s death and Flurry Heart’s disappearance. He was sending a group of unicorns to the Crystal Empire castle to raise the moon and lower the sun. He finished by announcing a public memorial for the lost princesses. I knew this was the perfect time to strike. I placed Flurry on my back, nothing else matters right now and went to the street. I waved my hoof, calling over a taxi. “How much to the castle?” “Ten bits,” he said in a raspy tone. “Alright,” I smiled, getting onto his cart that he pulled behind him, I set Flurry on my lap and hummed softly to her. I had changed her diaper and wrapped her in the soft blanket. In about half an hour we were there. “Pay up, misses,” he drawled. I sent a zap through his brain, making him pass out. He dropped down and Flurry giggled at him. I chuckled too and trotted to the front entrance. “I came to raise the sun, or lower it, I want to help,” I smiled. “And you’re foal?” “She can’t be home unattended,” I frowned. The guard nodded and escorted me to Shining Armor, there were about twenty ponies, an orange and white pony was talking to Cadence’s husband. “Hey, I’m Sunburst,” the orange and white one said to me when I approached. “I work with Starlight Glimmer, she is Ponyville, I’m so glad!” “She’s your marefriend,” I asked and he blushed a deep shade of red. “Oh, no, no, just a friend.” Sunburst turned to address the unicorns, “Alrighty everypony, ignite your horns and on Shining’s countdown, we will use our basic levitation abilities to lower the sun. You don’t have to strain your magic just do whats comfortable for you!” “3...2...1!” Shining said, their horns glowed, even Sunburst and Shinings. I grinned, ignited my own horn to melt away my disguise. Flurry laughed, hugging my neck as she recognized me. I blasted the ponies, aside from Sunburst and Shining, down in a flare of heat. They screeched as their bodies were instantly charred, their flesh melting off the bone, I watched a mare’s eye pop out and dangle on the optical nerve. Shining roared, “IT'S YOU, YOU KILLED MY WIFE, MY SISTER...my foal! But you won’t hurt anypony else.” “That’s not up to you,” I chuckled. He blasted me with a beam of light but I leaped out the way at the last second. I set Flurry down on a table and kissed her cheek. “Be good for mommy,” I chuckled, taking down her disguise. Shining gasped. “Sunburst get Flurry and go! I’ll handle this terrorist!” Shining roared. I sent a blaze of fire at him, it scorched the front of his chest but he kept going, running off of anger and remorse. I rolled my eyes but grunted when he collided with me. Used to pain, I was on my hooves quickly, I sent a crackle of electricity at him, his muscles pulled to their limits as he was forced into a temporary paralysis. I giggled, ramming my horn through his chest, missing his heart on purpose. Flurry laughed as Sunburst picked her up. “Flurry blast him in the face!” I growled, pulling out my blood covered horn and letting Shining slump down. Flurry obeyed, little horn glowing blue as she set his bread on fire. Sunburst gasped slapping himself to put it out. I took my moment to leap up, I levitated him into the wall, causing a dent in the wall.
