The Phantom of Equis

A blast of magic streaks through the air of a arid desert and blows a hole in its target head, a young mare with a green mane and pink fur coat. Her attacker stood over her corpse laughing.

“Oh boy another lock of hair for my collection!” Lighting said grinning madly as he ripped a piece of the mare’s hair and entwined it with his braid,which now was so long he had to wrap it around his neck to stop it from dragging on the ground.

“Ugh I hate teaming up with this guy,” Stone said turning to Cotton who was watching Cress with a blush as Cress searched one of the corpses for supplies.

“Huh? Sorry what did you say?” Cotton snapping back to reality as she quickly looked to Stone.

“Ugh you seriously haven’t told her yet? You’ve been crushing on her ever since she saved from that trap in that one test, wait was that last week or last month, I can’t keep time straight in this place,” Stone said rolling his before going into thought.

“Yea this place is sucks,and as for Cress ...well… what do I tell her? What if she doesn’t like me back?” Cotton asked folding her ears back against her skull.

“I don’t know what to tell you,I don't know jack shit about this kinda of thing,” Stone sighed.

“Well your a huge help you are,” Cotton said sarcastically.

“Hey you two love birds let's get going!” Cress laughed as she walked towards a large structure that stuck out of the desert.

“No, I only love you Crescendo-chan,” Cotton whispered.

“Sheesh, I know you sister died but you don’t have be so cling-” Stone said before being slapped.

“Don’t ever fucking mention my sister again,” Cotton growled.

“S-sorry,” Stone said as Cotton galloped after Cress and Lighting.

“Times up maggots,” A voice said over the speakers as the desert faded to a white room.

Once again the robot took off with several corpses, and disappeared into the wall panels.

Cress took a quick look at the hologram,thirty.

“Well isn't that something,when this all stated we had five hundred and now that we’ve slowly lost ponies now we only have thirty, is it wrong that when the number goes down I don't feel anything anymore,” Cress said shaking her head.

“The more you're exposed to something the less you reaction to it is,” A gray furred colt with a black mane said walking up to them.

“Requiem what do you want?” Stone asked glaring at the colt.

“She asked a question I answered it,” Requiem said walking past them.

“So Cress, um how’s your sister doin I haven’t seen her around that much,” Lighting asked with a strange smile.

“Oh yea after you started getting creepy with her,I told her to stay in our bunks,” Cress said glaring at him.

“Hmmm noted,” He said walking off.

“That pervert better stay away from my sister!” Cressy growled.

“Hey forget about him let’s go get something to eat,” Cotton said shooting a glare in Lightings direction as he left the room.

“Can’t the Doctor gave me specific instructions, to meet him in his quarters after this simulation,” Cress said with a shiver.

“Yea he’s been doing that a lot lately ,what's up with that,” Stone asked thinking for a second.

“I’m not really allowed to talk about it,” Cress said obviously uncomfortable as she walked out of the room.

“I guess we should go grab Cosmic and Stardust, before we go to the cafeteria,” Stone said shrugging as Cotton looked after Cress ,worried about what the doctor wanted with her crush.

The next few month went by and several more deaths the count is now fifteen.

“Its coming down to it ain’t it ,Cressy” Lighting said giddly.

“Shut up Lighting,” Cress said glaring at him.

“Fuck you too bitch,” Lighting said smirking not noticing that Stone was holding Cotton back ,from kicking his ass.

Suddenly a platform suddenly extended from the wall, and non other than the doctor himself step on to it his cloaked bodyguards ,as always,standing behind him.

“Attention lab rats,and of course you my lovely Crescendo,” The Doc said winking at Cressedno,causing her to give him a big fake smile ,while screaming internally.

The rest of the ponies,except Lighting who was looking at the doctor stroking his braid of pony hair smiling at him menacingly, gave her sympathetic looks,once they realized how uncomfortable she was.

“I'm so pleased that so many have of you made it this far,the last batch didn’t make its past the last three exercises,” The doctor said looking annoyed for a second, “But no matter I have a small problem that must be solved before you can have your freedom,”

“F-freedom!?” Cress asked in confusion.

“Oh yes,this was just test for future installments, to be honest it was already complete I just like watch these kinds of hunger games esc things,but fear not! You will be properly paid for your work,”

“Payed we don’t want money ,you sick fuck!” Cosmic yelled at him.

“Oh you misunderstand your not being paid in currency,and you don't have a choice, now as for my problem well….perhaps I should pay you first,” the doctor said as the room filled with gas.

“Everyone ho- hold - hold y-your brea-,” Cress tried out before she fell unconscious.

When she woke up her entire body ached and she found herself laying in a pod of sorts.

“Ugh,” She groaned trying to out the pod,it was then that she realized her front hooves had now been replaced by human arms and hands.

She screamed and tried to jump back but she was still stuck in the pod. She then looked over her body to see she now had large breasts and human legs.

“That little pervert somehow turned me into his own kind! And a well endowed one at that,” Cress said in disgust not noticing that she had a tail aswell.

She then heard a female robotic voice say, “Data transfer to subject:Kronos complete,”

“Kronos? Like the titan god of time from greek mythology?” Crescendo asked out loud as she suddenly felt a intense pain in her head causing her to scream in pain.

“Ah, you're finally awake my sweet,” the doctor said helping her out of her pod and caressing her back and causing her to shiver, “ You know I have been looking for a….heir,and with you being single and such well...” He whispered into her ear sweetly causing her heart to skip a beat and her to pull away suddenly.

“Um I have to go um check on my siblings,” Crescendo said backpelledling away from the madman.

“Oh yes I almost forgot to mention, you little brother didn’t survive the procedure,and it appears Lighting got a bit too rough with you baby sister,” The doctor said smirking, “So I suppose your schedule is open ,yes?”

Crescendo looked at him tears in her before running out of the room, she now found she could now sense the energy of other beings and run at blinding speeds.

The doctor watched her run away with a smile, “That’s right Kronos, run to your destiny and gain the power needed to end the alicorns once and for all,.. hail Regith,”

Cress ran searching for her siblings, hoping against hope that the doctor was lying.

She zipped into a room and what greeted her stopped her in her tracks. She found her brother still a pony...lying lifelessly in a pod. She staggered over to him and cradled him in her arms sobbing. She held him for a minute before her sobbing faded and she looked her eyes red with three tomo on a ring around her pupils,after this the whites of her eyes turned black and the red of her eyes spiraled into six pointed shape not unlike black hole or a star, and around her pupil was a shape similar to the star of David.

“Don’t worry little bro ,I'll make them pay for this!I'll make them all pay for this!” Cress hissed standing up and dashing straight towards Lightning's energy signature.

“LIGHTNING! WHERE’S MY SISTER WHERE IS STARDUST!?” Cress screamed at Lighting who seemed to have been waiting for her.

“Oh hey Cress just got done fucking your sister, didn’t expect her to be so….tight, eh she made a good meal afterward too,” He said as picked his teeth with a toothpick, “Ya mad bro?”

Cresscendo hanged her head shadow’s covering her face.

“Oh lemme guess you came to fight me in the name of truth and justice right? Don’t you know in this world….it’s kill or be killed,” He said laughing.

“I'll keep that in mind,” She said darkly before a gold aura exploded around her and her becoming a spiky gold, “WHEN I KILL YOU!”,faster than Lighting could react, she punched him into through several walls.

She ran through the holes she made until she stopped at a security room that had a recording of a certain meeting on its main monitor.

“I trust you had no trouble acquiring this batch, after all its nothing more than low class scum and street urchins,” The king said looking at the Doctor.

“Why yes,and don’t you worry your majesty I have a good feeling about this one,by the way have you named your newborn yet?”

“Not yet but we’re thinking….Celestia,” the king smiling and teleporting away.

“So….our king condemned us to die…..I'll just kill him too,” Crescendo said glaring at the screen as something snapped in her mind, before dashing after Lighting.

“Catch me if you can!” Lighting taunted laughing as he ran through the hallways with Cress hot on his heels.

“Over here!” he sang as he stopped in front of a large circular device.

“Get over here!” she roared charging him.

He then side stopped and slammed a button on a nearby panel ,as Cress found that she was having trouble stopping. Suddenly the device whirred to life and in a flash it made a portal that Cress flew into.

“Later sweet cheeks,” Lighting laughed as he closed the portal and walked out of the room whistling.

Cress fell though portal rolling around her arua now even more intense, “WHY THAT SON OF-” she was then hit with a blast of magic ,that didn’t do anything but piss her off ,as she slowly turned to look at its source,a alicorn in full gold armour slightly taken aback by the ineffectiveness of his attack, but not backing down feeling confident in his comrades that had just joined him.

“Um in the name of the King ,your are hereby under arrest for unlawful practices and terrorism,” The alicorn said reading off a scroll his confidence dwindling quickly as Crescendo approached him.

“Oh really? You and what army?” Crescendo said causing the alicorn to motion to his comrades ,who had already hauled ass.

“Oh sh-” He began but was caught short by Crescendo blowing a hole in his chest.

“Time to taste the fruit of vengeance,” Crescendo said flying into the air to overlook the city of alicorns before blasting it to oblivion in a single attack, “I don’t know what he did to me, but I'm starting to like my new body,”

She closed her eyes and sensed the energy of several more bustling cities, “Time to get to work,”

After several more cities Crescendo was now in front of the capital,where an army of Alicorn warriors were waiting for her.

“Okay let’s see if I can use susanoo,hehe now I know why there was a whole chapter on the uses of dojutsu such a sharingan, good thing I was such a good little school girl,” She said as she was surrounded by a black flames that formed a around her rib cage, “Hmmm not complete yet lemme try adding to it,” more flames that formed into a giant complete skeleton and after a few seconds samurai armour formed around the skeleton and in the giant’s hand was scythe.

“A scythe? How fitting,” Crescendo laughed maddly now hovering at the heart of the giant, “For now I am your goddesses of death, and so I have come to reap your sins,”

She swung scythe the shock waves sending the charging alicorns to ground and splitting the rooftops of the cities building.The alicorns got up and released a battle cry as they launched hundreds of magic blasts at Crescendo and her susanoo.

“I must confess I’m not used to this body yet,but my current sync with it is enough to kill you all,after all ,killing those other cities was just a little warm up,” She said grinning madly as the magic attacks hit the susano but didn’t seem to affect the giant in the slightest.

Alicorns changed tactics targeting the joints of the chakra titan,this seemed to be effective causing one of the legs to disappear toppling the susanoo.

“Crap time to change my plan of attack,” She said sucking the susanoo back into her body before doing several hands signs and firing a ball of flame consuming several of the alicorns causing them to roll around screaming in pain. Several of the alicorns tried to dog pile her,but she summoned her susanoo's scythe(all be it a much smaller version of it) and sliced three of them in half,spling their blood on the ground.

“Dammit get her! It's just one girl ,how can it be this difficult to fucking kill her!” The king said flying down in worn battle armour said grabbing her in his magic and throwing her into the cities wall.

“Oh good for a second ,I thought this wouldn't be any fun,” She giggled dropping out of the crater she had left in the wall.

“If you keep going like this your going to have a bad time,” He growled his right eyes gaining a flame like whips to them.

“Oh no, I'm going to have GREAT time!” She said with a insane smile, “You took everything from me now….I'm taking everything from you!”

“Not likely,” He growled said blasting her with a huge blast of orange magic throwing her threw the wall in though and several buildings.

“Oh yes kingy darling! show me your power,” She laughed picking herself up and doing several hand signs and surrounding her hand in electricity, “Chidori a thousand chirping birds,”

She charged him,her lighting charged ready to hit him as he did the same covered in a thick flaming aura. They hit each other head on sending shockwaves through the city,shaking it to its foundations. Having blocked her chidori successfully with his aura, he took initiative and grabbed her and slammed her into the wall, pressing her to hit him with a fireball just at point blank.

“Fool, I have mastered the art of fire magic and as such I gained the perma perk of heat immunity,your flames will do nothing to me ,she-demon!” The king spat as he buried his sword into her stomach.

“It's your own fault,after all the your one who ordered my creation!” She said grabbing his face close to her own.

“What no your the calamity the Doctor was supposed to- he tricked me,he told me a calamity was coming, to trick me into funding said calamity,” The king said before glaring directly into her eyes,earning a crazed a smirk from his opponent.

“I win!” She laughed as his eyes became the same as hers, “Too bad you didn’t know about the sharingan and its abilities,” she giggled.

“Oh but actually I did,” A voice said from behind her as a blade a jutted out of her chest,causing her to cough up blood.

“Damn it,” She said turning around to try and blast him only for him to slammed her into the ground so hard she fell into a catacomb below.

“That accursed Doctor also recommended ,that I relocate the capital to this exact spot.what was he planning,” The king said gritting his teeth,suddenly he felt a dark presence causing him to quickly follow her down to the catacombs.

He jumped down ,to see it was a sealing chamber commonly used to hide powerful dark magic artifacts,normally those connected to the great betrayer.

“Yes my child come closer ,take the sword from its prison,and you will gain the power to obtain your vengeance,” a dark dragon shaped mist said stroking Crescendo face.

“No wait don’t do it!” The king cried as Crescendo pulled out the sword,while in a trance of some kind. She then screamed in pain as black energy consumed,until her screams suddenly stopped and she suddenly began to laugh a distorted evil laugh,almost like two people talking at the same time.

“Tell me King Sol...are you ready to die?” She said suddenly said suddenly looking up her eyes pitch black.

“Xisis help us,” He gasped.

“Your goddesses will not save now,” She said charging him.

Meanwhile

The alicorns warriors gathered at the entrance of the catacombs preparing to follow after their king,when they heard him scream.

“Sire!” one of the lieutenants flying down only to be cut in half ,before even making it half way.

One of them tried to call out to the lieutenants only for his neck to be cut open causing him to instantly bleed to death. Before they even knew what was happening the warriors were beginning to drop like flies.

“Fall back!” One of the commanders said turning to take flight as he and his unit were decimated.

All they could hear was laughter as that monster tore through them. They then turned their attention to the fleeing citizens.

“Oh now you run? You ponies really are dumb, oh well I have a body now, so I guess I shouldn’t turn down a little target practice,” ‘Crescendo’ laughed.

They began destroying the city slowly as too enjoy it as much as possible.

“ENOUGH,” a voice rang out.

They whipped around to see a young grey unicorn in hat and cape with stars emblazoned on them.

“Star swirl!” ‘Crescendo’ roared.

“I hope you enjoyed your time in that body Regith,because it ends right here and right now,” Star Swirl glared before sighing sadly, “I’m sorry Crescendo,you were such a sweet girl ,its not your fault this world so cruel to good ponies like you, I should have been there for you, what kind of godfather am I,”

“I’ve been waiting for you Star Swirl,time to die!” Regtith said charging.

“Not today, now get the hell out of my goddaughter!” Swirl said using a staff of somekind that opened a portal, “What no they said….DAMN WENDIGOS!”

Later

Crescendo found herself back in her pony body, and in a black void.

“Wow the great Star Swirl fell for the oldest trick in book! Oh well time for some fun!” A voice said in from the void, “We get you for a only two millennia ,better make it count,”

“W-wait no WAIT,” Crescendo said before she started to scream.
