Intermixture

"Are you excited to make some food?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Not really, I'll probably just fucking burn it." Tucker laughed.

"Don't worry about it. I'll probably end up fucking it up before you do." Kerzon said.

Rainbow Dash knocked on the door and Pinkie answered with a smile.

"You're here!" Pinkie exclaimed happily.

"Yeah, we really need the cash." Rainbow Dash said. "Listen Pinkie I really appreciate you letting us help you."

"Not at all, it's the least I could do for my friend." Pinkie said.

"Yeah. Say where is Caboose?" Tucker asked.

"Don't worry about him, he is just preheating the oven." Pinkie said.

"Well, this place will be burning down any second now." Tucker laughed.

Rainbow Dash and Tucker started giggling but Pinkie just stared at him with a smile.

"What's funny?" Kerzon asked.

"You ready to get cookin'?" Pinkie asked.

"Yeah whatever. What are we making?" Kerzon asked.

"We're just going to be making a bunch of cupcakes, as we've just received a large order for them." Pinkie said.

"Okay cool. I can dig cupcakes." Tucker said. "What kind are we making."

"It's a secret." Pinkie said.

Tucker raised his brow at Rainbow Dash who just shrugged in return. The three then followed Pinkie into the kitchen and he looked at the oven.

"Look, Caboose didn't even turn the fucking oven on." Tucker said.

Tucker looked to the left and saw Rainbow Dash and Kerzon lying on the ground.

"Hey what happened to them?" Tucker asked.

"The same thing that's going to happen to you." Caboose said.

"Wha-" Tucker started before he lost consciousness.

When Tucker woke up, he found himself chained to a table in a dark room. He grunted and tried to break free, but he gave up after a couple of minutes as there were no signs of his bindings letting up. Instead he let his eyes adjust to the dark. His heart filled with horror as the wall came into focus. The wall was obscured by knives and other tools, all caked with what appeared to be blood. He resumed his struggle, trying to release himself once more, but to no avail. Tucker swallowed and a harsh pain shot through his throat.

"Is anybody there?" Tucker croaked weakly. Tucker licked his lips and swallowed some saliva to moisten his throat. It still hurt when he breathed, but it was significantly lessened. "Is anybody here?" Tucker asked, clearly this time.

He herd a grunt from a table next to him.

"Hello?" Tucker asked. He looked over and saw a light begin to form.

"My fucking head." The voice said as it regained consciousness.

"Kerzon?" Tucker asked.

"Tucker?" Kerzon asked.

"Yeah." Tucker said.

"Than yeah, It's me. What the fuck happened?" Kerzon said quietly.

"I don't know. Could you make your flame a bit brighter? I can't see worth shit." Tucker said.

"I'll try, but I'm pretty dazed. No guarantees." Kerzon closed his eyes and concentrated. His flame grew a tiny bit brighter and Tucker was able to make our the objects better.He decided to look around the room. The walls had a strange wallpaper on them. It looked as though it was made out of scraps of fur. "Not much of an interior designer." Tucker muttered sarcastically.

"I can tell." Kerzon said.

Tucker then noticed a dripping sound coming from next to him, and when he cocked his head to the left to see he flinched. There was a ponies corpse sitting next to him. Except it wasn't just a corpse, it's skin was completely torn off, but there were weird bones sticking out of the side.

"What the fuck?" Tucker said loudly. "Where the fuck am I?"

"What is it?" Kerzon looked over and saw what Tucker was seeing. "Holy fuck. Who is that?"

As Tucker continued scanning the corpse, he noticed that there was a patch left on its flank, and when he saw what was on it, his heart dropped. It was Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark. Tucker had to choke back the vomit that was threatening to spew out.

"Rainbow Dash..." Tucker said weakly, a tear forming in his eye.

"What!?" Kerzon exclaimed quietly. Fuck no. I'm out." Kerzon's energy sword suddenly drew and he cut himself free from his binds. "I'm getting you the fuck out of here." he said.

Tucker then heard a door slam open in front of him. Kerzon turned around before he could cut Tucker free. The room pored open with light, and the two closed their eyes as the light burned their eyes.

"Come out, you fucking-" A slicing sound could be heard as Kerzon was stopped in mid sentence. Tucker opened his eyes to see that their was no longer a flame or a glowing sword anywhere, and the room was in complete darkness again.

"Kerzon?" Tucker asked nervously. No answer, however he felt a presence in the room.

"Who's there?" He asked.

He gazed into the darkness, eyes now maladjusted due to the sudden changes in lighting. He was able to make out a figure staring at him from where he assumed the door was.

"Good, you're up." A raspy voice said.

"Who the fuck are you? What the fuck did you do to Rainbow Dash?" Tucker yelled angrily through the pain in his neck.

"You're in no position to be asking questions Tucker." The voice said.

The mention of his name had his spine shivering with fright.

"Caboose? Is that you?" Tucker asked weakly.

"Aw, you ruined the surprise." Caboose said sarcastically, flicking a switch which made a light turn on above Tucker.

Tucker quickly closed his eyes against the renewed onslaught. When he opened them, he yelled at the sight in front of him. Caboose was standing there, eyes completely black and seemingly devoid of life. Caboose was also wearing a cloak. It took Tucker a couple seconds to realize that this cloak had several pairs of wings on it, and it was all too clear to him that those weren't fake wings.

"Do you like it?" Caboose giggled, spinning in a slow circle.

"What the fuck Caboose?" Tucker said angrily. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Making cupcakes of course."

Tucker eyes dilated when he realized what he meant.

"What? Does Pinkie know that you're going to be fucking murdering me?" Tucker yelled, angry tears streaming out of his eyes.

"Of course silly, who else do you think carved Rainbow Dash up?"

"I always knew you were crazy, but I didn't think you were fucking sick." Tucker growled.

"Oh please, you're being far too kind." Caboose said with a laugh. He then sighed and looked down to a dead white pony with a red slash on his neck. "Poor Kerzon. I liked him, too."

"How the hell do you think the others will react once they find out what the fuck you're doing?" Tucker asked.

"I'm sure they would be appalled." Pinkie said, appearing from his side brandishing a blow torch. "But I think they will love the cupcakes. They're my own special recipe."

"Let me go, you stupid cunt." Tucker yelled, trying to free himself.

"Don't wear yourself out." Pinkie tutted. "If you struggle too much then it just doesn't taste the same."

"Bite me." Tucker grunted.

"I plan on it." Pinkie laughed wickedly. "Now that we’ve warmed up on little Dashie over there, I think we can make it even more painful and much longer."

"Help!" Tucker yelled. "These fuckers are trying to kill me!"

Caboose walked up to Tucker and punched him in the jaw.

"You should have heard the way Dashie squealed. It was adorable." Pinkie giggled. "Even through all the pain, she kept thinking of you alone. She begged me to let you free. Her last breath was your name."

Tucker gazed at Rainbow Dash, tears streaming down his face. Caboose then walked up to Tucker and placed a spike on one of his wings. He then grabbed a hammer with the other one and slammed the nail in. Tucker screamed in pain as Caboose pounded a second nail into his other wing.

"Before you lose your voice, do you have any last, inspiring words?" Pinkie asked.

"Yeah." Tucker said. "I hope you choke you fucking bitch."

Pinkie and Caboose both shared a dark laugh as Caboose placed another spike in Tuckers mouth this time. Tucker closed his eyes shut and felt the spike go through as Caboose slammed the hammer down.

“Tucker?” Caboose asked

Tucker lunged straight up and yelped. His face was covered in a cold sweat and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Tucker what's wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked with a worried expression on her face. "You kept yelling in your sleep. It was beginning to make me scared."

Tucker looked over at Rainbow Dash and didn't say anything. Instead he hugged her tightly.
