Terror in Equestria 11: Death and Destruction

As Colgate and her soldiers were getting their prisoners back to the tower, Colgate began to think more in-depth about what she wanted to do and perhaps what she would need to study to do so. She had extremely dark plans for Twilight and her friends and she also had plans for the pegasi but for them, she realized that she may have only one option. She would have to learn how to repair the Rainbow of Darkness to transform them into the beasts she desired.

Once they arrived, Colgate and her soldiers took her prisoners down to the dungeon and once they arrived, Colgate discovered that she did not have enough cells to hold them all. While there was only one bed in each cell, Colgate decided that multiple ponies would have to share one. She thought to herself, "Oh well, they are prisoners. I'm running a dungeon here, not a high end hotel."

When all her captives noticed that there were not enough cells for all of them, all of them were not thrilled. Rainbow yelled, "First you capture us and now you don't have enough cells for all of us?"

Colgate turned to Dark Night and ordered, "Get me some horn caps. I can not have them teleporting out of here once I free them from these cages."

Dark Night did as ordered and again her captives began to object to her plans. Fluttershy yelled, "What are you going to do to us? Why did you take Twilight when she has passed long ago when YOU killed her?"

Colgate snapped, "Look, I did what I had to do to save this whole world. Had I spared her, she would have enslaved you, all of you!"

Rainbow asked, "But why us? Why these pegasi?" She looked over towards Scootaloo and yelled, "And why is Scootaloo locked up? Why would you do that to your ally?"

Colgate yelled, "Because she betrayed me and regarding all of you, all of you will be my instruments to bring about misery to this miserable, pathetic world."

Rainbow gasped, "What, path....."

Before she could finish her sentence, Dark Night returned with the horn caps. Colgate levitated one to herself and began, "Now where should I start? Shall I go with the arrogant one, the tyrant, the diva, the mare-foal or the workhorse?"

Out of all of them, at one time Fluttershy was fiercely loyal to her so she grabbed her cage and said, "You know something, at one time you were loyal to me but then you turned on me so it shall be you first."

Colgate freed her from the cage but before she could react, Colgate quickly put a horn cap on her. She then wanted to see how her friends would react to seeing their friend being punished. She grabbed a whip and began to strike Fluttershy violently. She yelled, "This is what you get for betraying me! This is what tyrants deserve! Nopony betrays the Goddess of Terror, NOPONY!"

Fluttershy was crying loudly but would quickly be interrupted when Rarity heard what she referred to herself as. She yelled, "Goddess of Terror?"

Colgate stopped whipping Fluttershy, turned to Rarity and replied, "Yes Rarity, the Goddess of Terror. It is my job to bring about terror and misery upon this world and YOU SIX will assist me with this."

Rarity asked, "You six?"

Colgate pulled her cage close to her and growled, "Yes, you six. The five of you must suffer dearly and as far as Twilight goes, she shall be resurrected and you five will be bound to her." She then began to laugh, "Then she shall be unquestionably subservient to me, as will all of you."

Rainbow was the first to object, "No, we will not be subservient to you! None of us will!" She then turned to her soldiers and pleaded, "Can't any of you see that this is wrong?"

Rarity added, "I know all of you have served her for ages but can't you see she......."

Colgate approached Rarity, removed her from the cage and immediately put a horn cap on her. She then began to whip her violently and screamed, "Don't you dare you little wretch! Don't you dare try and poison their minds. They are loyal to me and no other!"

As Colgate continued to whip Rarity, one would have no more of it. Dark Night fired energy at the whip, breaking Colgate's hold on it. He stood in front of Rarity and yelled, "No more. No longer can I be part of this. You have turned into the very thing you fought against for so long."

Lightning Storm stood next to his fellow general and added, "Nor will I. Colgate, ever since you ate Twilight's heart something hasn't been right but since your return from Midnight Castle, you have become a monster."

Dark Night continued, "I know of your plans. I know you wish to do things that will make what Twilight did look like nothing. She wanted subservience and tribute, you want to bring about misery, terror and darkness upon this world."

With the exception of Colgate, the drones and the hoofsoldiers, everypony gasped. Applejack was the first to speak, "What? Y'all want to bring that upon this world?"

Colgate grabbed her cage, removed her and placed a horn cap on her before replying, "Yes. Outside of Coastal Equestria, everypony in this world is deserving of it."

Pinkie asked, "But why? Why are they deserving of it?"

Colgate did the same with Pinkie, smacked her and snapped, "It should not matter to any of you now. Soon you will all be bound to me and no other." She turned to her generals and added, "And because of your recent actions, I am hereby declaring both of you traitors and your punishment will be far more severe."

She levitated the two to her and placed horn caps on them before finally doing the same with Rainbow. Before her stood five ponies who were betrayed by Twilight at one time and the two individuals that she never imagined that she would have to discipline, much less deem traitors, General Dark Night and General Lightning Storm.

After having horn caps on all of them, she forced Dark Night and Lightning Storm into the same cell as Scootaloo. To punish them further, she forced all of Twilight's old friends into a single cell and then placed three of the pegasi in one cell and the other three in another. Once she had them locked up, she grabbed Twilight's casket and ordered her hoofsoldiers upstairs. As they saw their friend's casket being hauled out of the dungeon, they couldn't help but wonder what she had planned.

Rainbow asked, "Colgate, what the hay are you doing now? Where the hay are you taking Twilight?"

Colgate gave her a smirk and laughed, "Oh you'll see! Oh yes, you'll see!"

At that moment, Colgate felt betrayed. Ever since Colgate overthrew Twilight the first time, Dark Night and Lightning Storm had been loyal to her and now all of a sudden they were questioning her and to her, that was disloyalty. She knew that she could always cast another loyalty spell on them but realized that perhaps the time had come to simply replace them or given what she planned on doing, go without changeling and dark Alicorn officers altogether.

Now that she had enough pegasi captured to become what she wanted, had Twilight's corpse along with her friends along with three others, the time had come to not only do a massive amount of studying, but to create something that will terrorize one nation in particular, Equestria.
