Hide and Kill

Rainbow was leaning on a branch opposite of Adagio’s lifeless body, wondering how it was easy to get the last two of them killed, then she spotted Applejack walking through the woods and got an idea. She dropped down in front of Applejack and said, “Hey AJ, the last one to the bottom is the first on to die.”

Applejack tilted her hat and said, “You’re on.” She got ready to run and when Adagio’s weight broke the branch, she and Rainbow Dash took off,

Rainbow Dash made a small detour to shove a large boulder to roll down the side. As she was getting it situated, she saw something gleam through the trees, before feeling a burst of pain from her right eye. She stumbled back as he tried to dig whatever got stuck in the first place, but only was able to make it a lot worse and cover her hooves in blood. She leaned against the rock and felt it shift underneath her and fell with it as it started to roll down the side, but not before have the thing ripped out and sent on its way. Rainbow screamed everytime her body smacked a rock poking out. She closed her good eye and waited for all the pain to end so that she didn’t have to feel every broken bone in her body.

After Applejack left Rainbow in the dust, she leaped off the edge and rode it down to the bottom, only being stopped by areas with big rocks poking out.

Once she was to the bottom, she searched to see if Rainbow was waiting for her, and was glad that she didn’t, then she stopped in case that it was a trap, that’s when she heard the boulder rolling at her. She leaped to the side and the boulder flew past her and Rainbow’s body stopped next to her. She quickly checked her pulse to find that it was faint, and looked up to see the boulder falling above them. She tossed her hat out and waited for the boulder to crush them. At least it was painless.

Spike was chatting with Ember on how the other games went when a shadow appeared in front of them. Spike jumped and bumped into Ember, then he recognized the voice to belong to Rarity, “Oh my goodness, I wasn’t expecting you to be around the corner, Spike. I see you decided to team up with Ember, and show her the ropes. I don’t mean an actual rope.” Spike sighed, someone always has to remind me of my mistakes, but he’s glad that Ember doesn’t get the hidden meaning.

He brought out of the past when he heard Ember yell with a wind past him, “Spike, watch out.”

Blood splattered across his face and Rarity’s headless body stood in front of him. Spike turned to see Rarity’s head on the blade of an ax. He let out a scream as he fell back and said as he watched Ember step over him to pull out the blade and started walking towards the body, “Why did you do that?”

Ember looked back at him and said, “I know you are a little dragon, but you need to grow up. She was about to kill you.” She started to cut off the legs, as Spike picked up Rarity’s head. He tried to see if the head could tell him if she was about to kill him, then he heard a voice yell at him, “Spike, what are you doing?” He screamed as he fumbled with the head, till he dropped it on her horn.

He looked up to see Tempest slowly walking towards them. She held her head up high as she looked down at them, like there were insects, and said, “I guess I can kill both of you quickly.” She looked at Rarity’s chopped up body and added, “You really didn’t have to go that far, beheading her would have been sufficed.”

Spike didn’t know what to do. He heard about how good she was but hasn’t seen it before. As he was crawling away, he saw a spear flying towards them. He yelled at Ember as he tackled to the ground while pushing the ax out of her claws. He looked up to see Tempest with a surprised look on her face, as she gurgled on her blood. The spear was lodged into her throat. Spike ran up to her back and pulled on it to get it out of her throat. Tempest fell to her knees with her eyes growing dim with each pull. The shaft was slippery from blood, but it finally budged out. He fell on his rump and watched her take her last step and breathe before collapsing in a heap. He called out to Ember but didn’t get a reply. Fearing the worst, he threw the spear away and ran to see Ember perfectly safe, just knocked unconscious. He fell next to her and started laughing.
