Previous ChapterNext ChapterDeadly Sacrifices
After the Witch Queen took off to go and attack LaurFa and her envoy, Colgate decided the time had come to transform the others. She had plans to transform them the same way she did Twilight but that would mean one thing, five deaths would have to occur along with five blood sacrifices. Colgate was a bit hungry so she figured that one meal would be a good start. After doing some deep thought on which one she would sacrifice first, she headed to the dungeon.
When she arrived, everypony began to yell at her until she flared up her horn in anger and yelled, "Shut up, all of you." She approached their cells and continued, "Unless you shut up, I will do something to you and you most certainly will not like it!"
The whole dungeon went quiet until Colgate opened one of the cell doors and drug Fluttershy out of it. Everypony began to yell and ask what her plans for the yellow Alicorn were and again Colgate flared up her horn and the whole dungeon again went quiet. Colgate had such a tight hold on Fluttershy that she was unable to speak. Colgate cast her gaze at her and thought out loud, "Now where should I do this? Should I do this here? Should I do it in the archives?" She then laughed, "I've got it! I'll do this in the dining hall!"
She carried the struggling Fluttershy to the dining hall and when they arrived, she slammed Fluttershy into the floor so hard she broke one of her wings. Fluttershy cried out, "Why Colgate, why? Why are you doing this?"
Colgate kicked her in the head and laughed, "So I can unleash a never before seen wrath upon this miserable world." Her voice became more intense as she continued, "Those other leaders want to distrust me, I'll give them a reason to distrust me!"
Before Fluttershy could respond, Colgate pounced on her and immediately began to eat the flesh off of her abdomen. Fluttershy was kicking and screaming as Colgate continued to feast on her flesh until she had revealed the rib cage and the organs that lie beneath. She figured that it would be best if Fluttershy wound up dying exactly like Twilight did, being eaten alive.
Despite being weakened by the ordeal, Fluttershy was able to throw her captor off of her. She yelled, "No, this will not happen. I will not allow you to do to me what you did to Twilight."
Colgate returned to kneeling over her and began to punch her violently. She screamed, "You do not tell me what will or what will not happen you little rat!" She leaned down, broke Fluttershy's rib cage open and screamed, "After I'm done with you, I shall have your allegiance, I will OWN you just like I OWN Twilight!"
The pain was horrible for Fluttershy. It was the type of pain that she never imagined was possible. Colgate bent her head down into her chest cavity, grabbed her heart in her aura and laughed, "Any last words?"
Fluttershy screamed, "You will not get away with this! Even though you have that black gem in you and that crazy collar, LaurFa will......."
Colgate was in no mood to hear what she had to say so she ripped her heart out with her teeth and quickly consumed it. She stared down at the remains and laughed, "What was that Flutters? What was that you were saying?" She then smacked her face and continued, "Must not have been important since you went silent."
Colgate wanted her other captives to know something bad had happened but not exactly. She left her remains in the dining hall and returned to the dungeon to get her next victim. When she returned they all saw her face was covered in blood. They had seen this before and knew exactly what happened. Rainbow was the first to comment, "Why the hay would you kill Fluttershy?"
Pinkie added, "Yeah, Fluttershy didn't do anything to you."
Colgate gave the remaining four an intense look and asked, "Who wants to go next? Who wishes to become much more than you currently are? Who wishes to be perfected?"
All four began to protest what she was doing so she decided to take the one she considered the most mouthy, Rainbow. She grabbed her in her aura and growled, "Come with me little rat, your time has come. The time has come for your transitioning into something much more useful to me."
Colgate dragged Rainbow up to the dining hall and she would be horrified by what she saw. There before her was laying the ripped open, heartless corpse of her friend. She yelled, "You monster, how could yo do this?"
Colgate did the same thing with her that she did to Fluttershy, she slammed her so hard into the floor that she broke her wings. Colgate kicked her in the head and yelled, "I did it to make her useful to me! She could never be useful to me if I tried to transform her while she was alive."
Like she did with Fluttershy, she pounced on her and began to tear into her. Rainbow was stronger than Fluttershy was and was able to kick her captor off of her. For Colgate, this was unacceptable. She grabbed her by the head and began to slam it into the floor. She yelled, "That's it you little rat! I can not have such disobedience from you!"
Once she had given Rainbow a concussion, she resumed tearing into her. Given that Rainbow was not completely coherent, she was not as resistant once Colgate had broke her rib cage open and was readying herself to consume her heart. Colgate asked her if she had any last words but Rainbow had gone into shock and all she let out were a few moans.
Colgate grunted, "Nothing important apparently." She then ripped Rainbow's heart out with her teeth, causing Rainbow to let out one last scream. Colgate, like it was with Fluttershy, quickly consumed her heart and returned to the dungeon to ready the other three for their transformation.
When she returned, the remaining captives were not as loud as they knew what their fate was. They knew that Colgate was going to eat them alive and while Rarity and Pinkie had resigned themselves to their fate, Applejack had not, she wanted answers. She yelled, "Colgate, Ah want to know what y'all are doing with us? Why are y'all eating us alive?"
Colgate laughed, "Just like it was with Twilight, I can't perfect you unless I consume your heart while you are still alive."
Rarity then chimed in, "But why must you do this darling? Why must you 'perfect us' as you are calling it?"
Colgate again laughed, "So I can have what I need to punish those distrustful and ungrateful world leaders!" Pinkie then began to say something until Colgate yelled, "Just shut up already! This HAS to be done!"
Colgate then decided that she would just take care of the remaining three all at once. She grabbed them in her aura, slammed them in the wall a few times and gave them a concussion. Like she did the others, she also slammed them into the floor hard enough she broke their wings before taking them up to the dining hall and did what she needed to do for the next phase of their transition, ripped them open and consumed their hearts while they were still alive.
Once she had ate the hearts of all of them, she decided that she would get to work on transforming them into the same thing she did Twilight, black riders, witches of some sort. She began to think about the talents the five used to have and immediately thought about a role for what used to be Fluttershy, one that would involve creations that would have an insatiable appetite, ones that could feast on the flesh of those she wanted to wipe out.
For Fluttershy, it was easy for her to figure out. For the others, it was not so easy. She wanted to hurry up and get them transformed. She knew that she could handle all their roles later.
Birth of "The Witch of Beasts"
After making up her mind on how she would handle the role of each one, Colgate headed down into the archives to grab something very important, her sabre. Given that she had done a blood sacrifice when she created the Witch Queen, she knew that she would need to do the same with the other five.
Once she grabbed her sabre, she grabbed the bodies of the five and then took them outside to cast the proper spells to resurrect them into what she wanted. Like she had done with all the other spells she had cast, she took them up to the same spot she fused the black diamond into herself. She laid the bodies on the ground with several feet separating each one.
As she stood there readying herself to cast the first spell, she then remembered that when it came to Twilight, she already had her title ready and her role ready for her. She knew that this would take a while but the one she planned on resurrecting first was the one that at one time was an ally of hers, Fluttershy.
Before casting any kind of spell, Colgate took her sabre and cut herself, allowing blood to drip on it. She then allowed the blood to drip from the sabre onto Fluttershy's head. She continued to collect more blood and allow it to drop on the corpse until she quit bleeding. Once she felt enough had been sacrificed, she lit up her horn and recited,
"In life she was the sweet one,
those that she hated were none.
It was the animals that she loved most,
for all animals, great or small, she was a loving host.
During life she was both strong and weak,
She was something that many would seek,
While many loved the fact that she was meek,
For others, the stench of all that reeked.
The sweet innocence of her is no more,
the wrath she shall bring about will be something from lore.
In her youth she was young and sweet,
Yet that is something that anypony could beat.
Her new role will not be the same,
her past was really lame.
A master of the beasts she shall still be,
Yet the beasts shall be monsters for all to see.
In life free-will for her was a must,
in this new world all that will lead to a bust.
Her new form will be quite a sight to see,
In her new form she will be unquestionably loyal to me.
In her new form she shall be great,
In her new form she will spread a great amount of hate.
It is to The Goddess of Terror that her allegiance shall be,
For now it is the Witch of the Beasts that all shall see."
She then fired a powerful bolt of energy at the corpse. She continued to hold onto it as it rose and became encircled in a black orb. Colgate couldn't help but smile as the final process of transformation was finally happening. Colgate released her hold as the bubble burst and revealed the creature inside.
As the new Fluttershy floated to the ground, she was no longer what she once was. While she was still yellow, albeit a very dark yellow with a dull pink mane, what had transformed were her eyes. No longer did she have blue eyes like she did in life, what she had now were nothing but black pits, terrifying black pits. Colgate also ordered her newest creation to turn to its side and was thrilled by what she saw. Her creation still had Fluttershy's old cutie mark yet like it was with the Witch Queen, the mark was inside a much larger one, Colgate's.
Colgate approached her creation and asked, "Who are you and who are you loyal to?"
Her creation hissed, "I am the Witch of the Beasts and my loyalty belongs to Colgate, The Goddess of Terror."
Colgate smiled, "Good, very good." She pointed her wing towards the other corpses and added, "One down, four to go."
Birth of "The Witch of the Skies"
As she looked over the remaining four, it did not take her long to decide who to transform next, Rainbow. She approached the corpse and like she did with Fluttershy, she took her sabre, cut herself and allowed the blood to drip onto the sabre and then onto Rainbow's head. Colgate got a great amount of satisfaction with the blood sacrifices. She knew that with the sacrifices that her creations truly would be bound to her, she knew that their loyalty would be guaranteed.
Once she had sacrificed enough blood for Rainbow, she powered up her horn and recited,
"In life her quality was loyalty,
the quality was so strong it made her friends with royalty.
Her speed was great,
So great that it could generate hate.
Ultimately the speed became no more,
Despite being bested by one it was still of lore.
In the end it was no match for me,
That was something that was easy to see.
The loyalty within her will never die,
That is something that nopony can deny.
Her loyalty will be something of mine,
Any disloyalty to me would be crossing the line.
While her past life has ceased to be,
Her adventures will continue on for all to see.
Her adventures shall be great,
She shall never suffer a terrible fate.
In life she always took to the sky,
For those who saw that was no lie.
Now the Witch of the Skies she shall be,
And her loyalty shall belong solely to me."
Like it was with Fluttershy, Colgate fired a bolt of energy at the corpse and it began to rise as it was encircled in a black orb. Colgate was watching with a smile on her face as the orb popped and a new being landed. Like it was with Fluttershy, the new creature had black pits for eyes, was darker in color and while it did have Rainbow's cutie mark, it was inside a much larger mark of her own.
She approached the creature and asked, "Who are you and who are you loyal to?"
Her newest creation hissed, "I am the Witch of the Skies and my loyalty belongs to Colgate, The Goddess of Terror."
Colgate gave a smile, "Good, very good."
She motioned for her latest creation to stand besides her counterpart and cast her gaze at the remaining corpses, planning on who she would transform next. She remembered how there were times that Rarity would be disobedient and realized that handling her would be a special case, so she is the one she focused on next.
Birth of "The Witch of Greed"
Once Colgate decided who she would handle next, she again cut herself and allowed the blood to drip onto her sabre before allowing it to fall onto Rarity's head. Once she had quit bleeding, she got to work. She powered up her horn and recited,
"In life she was the Element of generosity,
For many, such behavior was a curiosity.
While she was plenty generous,
She could also be treasonous.
In life she would often times be disobedient,
She did this when she should have been subservient.
Overall she had a generous heart indeed,
Yet often times she was guilty of greed.
It was her friends that she cared about the most,
In ancient times she would make a great host.
Sometimes it was attention that she would seek,
She was anything but meek.
The days of generosity are a thing of the past,
For nothing can forever last.
Greed and lust shall now fill her heart,
It will be lives where you shall start.
Over the millennia times have changed,
A new path has been arranged.
The new path has been set,
Subservience to The Goddess of Terror is a sure bet.
Rather than being graced with elegance,
Ponies will see her malevolence.
From the past she must now be set free,
It is now The Witch of Greed she shall now be."
Colgate fired a bolt of energy at the remains and like it was with the others, her remains became encircled in a black orb. Colgate watched in approval when another creation emerged from the orb when it popped. Like it was with the others, her creation had a dull coat compared to the pony it once was. With the Witch of Greed, her mane was straight, her eyes were black pits like the others and she had her cutie mark, albeit being inside a much larger mark, that of Colgate.
Like she did with the others, Colgate approached her new creation and asked, "Who are you and who do you show your allegiance to?"
Her creation hissed, "I am The Witch of Greed and I serve but one master, The Goddess of Terror, Colgate."
Colgate patted the new witch pony on the back and replied, "Good, very good."
With three down and two to go, Colgate knew that chances are all her creations would be finished prior to the return of The Witch Queen. She cast her gaze at the two remaining bodies and decided on Applejack. She thought to herself, "What should I do with her? I certainly can't have her being dishonest, well with me anyway."
Birth of "The Witch of Deceit"
After the first three ponies had been "perfected," Colgate turned to the last two, the ones that were earth ponies prior to their transformations so long ago. The next corpse she turned to was Applejack's. Like she did with the others, she cut herself and let blood drip onto her sabre before having it drip onto Applejack's head. Once she had exhausted her blood, the time had come to resurrect her into what she wanted. She powered up her horn and recited,
"In life the truth is always what she told,
Yet her words didn't always have everypony sold.
Hard work was always a quality she had,
Yet her schedule made some mad.
Telling the truth is always something she would,
Although at times sparing feelings is what some thought she should.
Along with honesty also it was strength she possessed,
Often times it was her work that had her obsessed.
It was her friends she treated great,
It was towards them that she never showed any hate.
Always it was her who was the best host,
It was her they appreciated the most.
Her family were the ones she truly loved,
They were the ones she never shoved.
Many viewed her as truly great,
And it was those she never showed any hate.
The days of her honesty are in the past,
for all things all good never truly last.
Dishonesty to most in the quality that belongs to her,
Yet to me she shall still provide that honesty for sure.
A new destiny for her has come to be,
She shall now be The Witch of Deceit for all to see,
Free will is no longer her own,
It is subservience to The Goddess of Terror that shall be shown."
She fired a powerful bolt of energy at the corpse and like the others, it began to rise it became encircled in a black orb. Once the orb popped, a new creature levitated to the ground. Like it was with the others, Colgate went to inspect her. Like it was with the others, the creature's coat was darker and it had black pits for eyes. Most importantly to Colgate though, it had Applejack's old mark inside a much larger one, one of her own.
She approached the creature and asked, "Who are you and who do you show your loyalty towards?"
The creature hissed, "I am The Witch of Deceit and it is The Goddess of Terror I am loyal to."
Colgate replied, "Good, very good." She then turned towards the last remaining corpse and continued, "And now to deal with one more, the once immature one."
Birth of The Witch of Anger
One last time she grabbed her sabre, cut herself and allowed the blood to drip onto the sabre and then onto Pinkie's head. Once she had done this, she lit up her horn and recited,
"It life she provided happiness with glee,
She did that so gladness among the ponies would be.
Sweets was one thing she loved the most,
She was never one to boast.
Parties she often used to bring about happiness,
A select few though saw this as sappiness.
Often it was treats for others she would make,
For the Princess of the Sun it was always cake.
Her time of bringing others cheer has come to an end,
Now the happiness is nothing but pretend.
The time for hate is now here,
And this is quite clear.
The end of immaturity is quite late,
The quality of anger can no longer wait.
Her allegiance shall now be mine,
Failure of this will cross the line.
Darkness shall now consume her,
That is something that is quite sure.
No longer will the element of laughter she be,
It is The Witch of Sadism that all shall see."
Like it was with the others, she fired a bolt of energy and the corpse began to levitate inside a black orb. Once the orb popped, down floated a figure that was a darker pink, had a dark pink, straight mane and tail and had black pits for eyes. She approached the figure and asked, "Who are you and who do you show your allegiance to?"
The figure hissed, "I am the Witch of Sadism and my allegiance belongs to Colgate, The Goddess of Terror."
Colgate smiled and then noticed that like the others, the cutie mark was its former one inside of a much larger one, hers. She turned to the five and ordered, "Come my creations, follow me."
The five did as ordered and Colgate led them down into the dungeon. When they arrived their captives gasped in shock. Dark Night was the first to say anything, "How could you? How could you simply kill five more ponies and turn them into these abominations?"
Colgate flared her horn up in anger and snapped, "Because I need them this way." She approached the cell he was in and continued, "Now unless you wish to join them in this form, I would advise you shut up."
Dark Night was not the only one who was unhappy with what she had done. Scootaloo was no happier, "Colgate, I want to know what happened to the Colgate of old? What happened to the Colgate that saved the world on many occasions? What happened to the Colgate...."
Colgate fired a bolt of energy at her and burned her, causing her to scream out in agony. She yelled, "Look you treasonous rat, what I plan on doing will be saving Eqqus 1 from horrible, distrustful leaders. This world has no room for the scum that currently rule. Once I'm done with them, this world will be pure again, it will be as it should have been the first time Twilight was defeated! It shall be MINE, ALL MINE!"
She then turned to her new creations and ordered, "Stay here and guard all of them. Yes they have horn caps on and the pegasi pose no threat but still, keep an eye on them."
Colgate's Discoveries
In unison the five hissed in approval. Colgate then headed up to her chambers and immediately tapped into the eye. The very first thing she checked on was the South Alicorn Ocean and would be less than thrilled with what she saw. While she was happy that the Witch Queen had crashed their ship, she was not thrilled that Cosmos had been killed by a Tatzlwurm. She screamed, "Damn it, damn it, damn it! You were supposed to bring him back to me alive, not let some creature kill him!"
She began to stomp on the floor but would soon stop when she saw what happened next. She got a huge smile on her face as she saw Celestia being stabbed with a cursed blade. She then laughed, "Well I may not get Cosmos out of all this but soon I will have another servant!" She began to giggle further, "Hmmm.....The Witch of Darkness has a good ring to it!"
After seeing what happened to Celestia, Colgate felt a sense of satisfaction. She saw the terror that was unleashed upon her enemies and knew that the death and transformation of Celestia would absolutely crush the spirits of her foes. She said to herself, "Just like it was back when my storm killed Shining Armor, psychological warfare! Psychological warfare!"
