Viventis Anathema - Story of a Cursed Mare

Leaving the room, Grimwood, guided by Sunlight, followed the scream throughout the corridors of the factory, being careful to not get caught by the Rainbow Cultist and the other worker. Arriving in a bifurcation, they could hear the voice at the left exit, followed by a adult, female voice.

"Can you please call some engineers or a skilled slave to solve this problem!? And you are supposed to be competent!?"

"Who's that?" Grimwood asked.

"It's Leaf Shocker, one of the inspectors, Rainbow Cultist and just like the rest..." Sunlight said.

"A Homunghoul?" Grimwood asked.

"Yes."

They peered from behind and saw two Rainbow Cultists, pegasi, entering the room while dragging a rebellious pegasus filly who struggled to set herself free from their grip. There was also Leaf, a female pegasi with holes, clawed hooves and wings made of bones.

Leaf was gleefully observed the scene as his subordinates forcefully putted the filly inside the machine and chained her up before leaving. The filly was cleary frightened, but mostly confused.

"Why are doing this to me!? Is because i failed the test!?"

His tormentors doesn't respond. Not even empathy was shown by them.

"My mother will be worried, she is waiting for me at home!"

The two pegasi leaved the metallic room, leaving to Leaf the depreaved pleasure to deal with the pegasus.

"So you thought that you could escape this factory, eh?" said Leaf.

"I had to go. You had no right to isolate me there." retorted hesitant the filly.

"Yea, yea, i get it... No. You can't. As you can see...." Leaf then pointed her knife at the filly, scaring her even more, as the female pegasus tried to maker her fear for her life. "YOU CANT'T!!"

The filly started to whimper a little while Leaf glared at her with her contained fury.

"P-please, don't kill me. I.... i have to help my mother with... the work... i promised..."
said the filly.

"Your mother will not wait for a failure like you. And even if she is waiting for you..." Leaf smirked a little while suspending her sentence before let it fading away from her face. "I don't care. What i care now is just to teach to some impudent fillies like you, who doesn't respect my authority, a really special lesson worth a entire life."

As if a nerve was poked, Grimwood assumed a very grim expression and pulled out her metal box, which she turned it into her chainsaw. Without thinking twice, she stormed inside the room. Before Leaf could react, Grimwood was already shredding her head.

Not understanding what is going on, the filly slowely opened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her. She gasped in horror to see her tormentor being reduced like this. Her eyes darted on Grimwood, who was standing in front of Leaf and shredding her tormentor with her bloodstained revving chainsaw. The filly was shocked to see this brutal kind of miracle, infact she was praying for a benevolent angel to help her, but wasn't expecting this angel of death.

"You won't be missed by anypony," Grimwood said.

"I just hope nopony realized my deception," Sunlight prayed as he approached the machine and makes it putting the chained filly being near to the floor. He then pressed one last button. The chains untwisted and the shackles opened, dropping the filly without hurting her her.

Grimwood walked toward the filly, who remained paralyzed in fear, questioning about what she intended to do with her.
What the mare can do was talking to her calmly without trying to comfort her. She wasn't expecting the filly to trust her.

"You can think whatever you want. I have nothing to do with you."

"Y-you are the one who had done this to her and released me?" The filly asked.

"That moron over there was giving on my nerves, so of course i had eliminate her. I don't expect you to understand that."
Grimwood said and then turned to Sunlight. "Do me a favor. Take care of this filly."

"But where you are going all alone? You won't seriously going after Ambrosia, I hope. You don't even know where she is."
Sunlight said.

"Upper floors. And let me tell you. Your old friend declared war at me, even if by accident. So of course I have to go after her."

"Be careful and watch out for the high priestesses. The ones with the rainbow tails."

That being said, Grimwood took an exit at her right and went into a corridor. She pulled out a transparent amulet and made it glow, causing her to become invisible.

"I can't believe I had to resort to this. I have only two copies of that." Grimwood murmured.

She was making her way in the metallic industrial maze of corridors and making her way toward the upper floors without being spotted by the cultists and their workers. At one point, she noticed one room. She peered inside and noticed a very grim setup.

The whole room was full of Rainbow Dashes being encases in glass capsules. The Rainbow clones had their cutey mark being a bar code instead of the iconic rainbow lightning one. Most of them had their muscle or bones exposed and other monstrous details.

"A clone room, huh," Grimwood commented. "I knew something was going on. So they must be the high priestess. All Homunghouls. But the question now is: Where is the real Rainbow Dash?"

Resuming her path, Grimwood noticed a hall full of machinery, blocked by black coated ponies with rainbow tails and other Homunghouls pegasi being gathered nearby a steel gate.

"Damn bastards. I have to take care of you." said a irritated Grimwood, pulling out a amber amulet and tossing it to the group as her invisibility turned off.

The object bursted into a sphere made of plasma that struck and shocked all of the undead pegasi. As the sphere dissipated, they became overwhelmed by hysteria as they found themselves unable to move their wings.

"I-i.. I can't feel my wings!!" One of the Rainbow Dashes said.

"We are literaly grounded!!" Another one said.

"YOU BITCH!! WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO US!!?" One of the Homunghouls.

"The speed of those clones won't be a problem." Grimwood thought.

Grimwood glared at them with very intimidating eyes as pulled the starting cord of her chainsaw before taking it's handle with her teeth. The pegasi immidiately rushed toward her with all their fury. Grimwood charged toward
them with the chainsaw pointed toward them.

As the monstrous pegasi were almost reaching her, Grimwood leaped toward them while delivering a circular spinning slice that bloodily decimates most of them and does a quick high jump to avoid some of them who tried to tackle her while releasing the chainsaw's handle by the grasp of her teeth only to catching it with her hoof before slamming down her chainsaw to the ground in a slashing drop, splitting in two other three pegasi who were in it's trajectory.

Only eleven of them remained, and were charging toward her: some of them tried to to slash her with their implanted weapons while the others tried to devour her.

Grinwood slashes four of them and severed one pegasus' hoof with a curved sword implanted into it just to kick it to trowing it into another undead pegasus' head, piercing it along with his brain.

She then pierced the said amputated pegasus, lifted his constantly and painfully mangled body and delivered a horizontal swing that killed other four of them before killing a fifth one with a overhead slash while violently slamming the trapped mutilated foe to the ground.

Only three Rainbow Dashes remained, which one of them leaped toward Grimwood, only for her to punch her head so hard to it splattered. She then proceed to cleave the second one who tried to attack her from behind.

Now only one remains.

"Don't get so cocky. I'm so awesome that I can still flying!" The Rainbow Dash said as she hoovered in the air.

"No, you don't," Grimwood said as her chainsaw blades start illuminating in a purple color. "CHAINSAW MAELSTROM!"

Her chainsaw shoots multiple purple energy chainsaw blades that ended up blasting the Rainbow copy's wings, making her fall back on the floor. The creature layed on the floor in agony.

Grimwood approached the creature and put her metallic talon on her abdomen. The Rainbow Copy however, smirked while drawing out electric claws from her hooves and tried to swing them at her. But she was too slow.

"Don't even try!" Grimwood said as she cuts off the electric claw armed arm, resulting the creature to bleed and scream. "And don't even die yet. I have most things to ask to you."

"W-what!?" The Rainbow copy was confused.

"Who made this facility to begin with?"

"You won't believe it said from a copy like me, right?"

"Spit it."

"......... Princess Celestia."
