It was Rarity’s birthday chapter 6

The other side of Equestria

(Hidden Ending)

Ending was published for the sole purpose of tickling your noses and letting your imagination run wild with the possibilities. It was not originally put up for that same reason. If you liked the old ending then turn away now... This was put up on sole recommendation of cover-image artist Quinn Pike (Esquire) Read at your own risk

They say when you die; you see a white light… Just before Fluttershy passed on, she saw something like that… But, the whiteness seemed to be snuffed out by a tunnel of black, a tunnel that seemed to grow longer and put more and more distance between Fluttershy and the end of the line… Not a thought seemed to cross her mind as she trailed through shadows and darkness.

There was darkness; there was absolutely nothing but darkness… And Fluttershy found herself standing in the midst of it all.

Fluttershy walked forward, there was ground beneath her hoofs, and she walked through the blackness. All she felt was fear, there was no light, no warmth, and she was all alone again. Fluttershy slowly continued on…

There was nothing. There was no light at the end of this tunnel, and Fluttershy was afraid again, fear, anything but fear… Fluttershy stopped and began to panic “No… I don’t want to be afraid anymore…” she whispered. There was nothing around her, no one to help her, not again…

Fluttershy looked around her once again, nothing but shadows that seemed to bend into twisted figures in the blackness, and the sound of her own heavy panicked breathing…

And she began to cry.

Fluttershy sobbed, and laid down on the ground, resting her head on her fore-hooves. She sniffled and closed her eyes. “Why is there nothing?”

Nothing followed and Fluttershy continued to weep to be so alone, especially now.
“GET BACK THERE YOU COWARDLY RETARDED WHORE!”

Fluttershy heard this and covered her ears… Every single grisly sound of that night was coming back to her at full-force. Everything, she could hear Angel’s bones snapping, the sound of the ponies cheering as she was violated, the buzzing sound of Pinkie’s clippers, and the sound of the ponies beating her to death… Every single horror of that night that swept through her dreams, that she had lived through…

…It was driving her mad. Fluttershy screamed, she screamed louder than she had ever screamed in her life, but it was not stopping her pain. Fluttershy wanted to dig her hooves into her ears and rip out her own eardrums so she wouldn’t have to hear this anymore.

The screaming continued, hear her cries, they are long and loud. Relate to these if you will to understand the sounds… A mother screaming as she watches her children burn, a son crying as his father beats him with a baseball bat and the tears of a lonely soul as they slit their wrists. Pain no one should feel…

Isn’t it interesting the most beautiful souls are made to suffer the worst, and the kindest hearts will always be scorned?
But it doesn’t mean that someone is loved less...

Fluttershy finally opened her eyes. She saw leaves; each individual specimen waving in the breeze, the breeze was rushing across her face and through her mane. HER MANE!

Fluttershy almost cautiously, reached a hoof up to her pink hair and she rubbed down a single lock of hair. She sat up, half-shocked, and half-relieved. She smiled and ran her hooves through her hair, the little curl on the ends remained intact! Her mane felt just like it used to, and she began to laugh.

Fluttershy wasn’t expecting to have hair again, and after such a terrible dark affair, she wasn’t even expecting to even smile again…

“I see you have recovered.”

That voice… Fluttershy recognized it, and once again, memories flooded her skull… but something was different this time. The bad memories returned, but, it was like they didn’t have the same meaning they did earlier…

“C-Celestia…?”

Sure enough, standing before her, was Celestia herself. “…Celestia, what are you doing here?” Fluttershy asked, rising to her hoofs.

“I wanted to stay, to make sure you were ok…”

Puzzled, Fluttershy looked down at her belly, and her eyes widened in surprise as she saw a long scar running across it. “Celestia! What happened to me-?”

Putting a hoof to Fluttershy’s mouth, Celestia smiled and replied, “You have nothing to worry about any longer…”
Fluttershy stepped back and replied “Where am I? What happened?!” Fluttershy turned around and what she saw stopped her dead in her sentence.

She was facing the sea, the sea at sunset… But that wasn’t all; she could see the silhouette of her humble cottage… But that wasn’t all… What Fluttershy saw next brought her to tears…

Rolling out of the backdoor was a small wheelchair, and in the wheelchair was a familiar face… A little white face with two long ears…

“ANGEL!!!” Letting loose a cheer of happiness Fluttershy ran forward. Celestia smiled and shed a solitary tear of joy at the sight.

Fluttershy swooped up Angel from the wheelchair and they hugged for the longest time… “Angel, I thought you were gone…”

The bunny said nothing, just snuggled into Fluttershy’s soft mane.

What Fluttershy didn’t know, but Celestia did know, was that Angel had prosthetic limbs now, the bunny’s legs were wooden, painted white and equipped with springs, the spine was pretty much glued back together and the poor rabbit had so many staples in its head it was like Frankenstein.

Fluttershy didn’t know a lot about what was happening…

Especially about how it had happened, but Celestia, she knew, and her mind returned to those dark days…

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Celestia knew about what Twilight and the other ponies did, she knew about it, and it was truly painful… Twilight was her apprentice, Rainbow Dash was a well-known and very prominent Pegasus pony, it was Rarity’s birthday, Applejack was Apple bloom’s big sister, Spike was a dragon in charge of the correspondence between herself and Twilight, Pinkie was well-known and well-loved and Big Macintosh was always a good apple (no pun intended)

But how could she let them get away with what they had done? When Angel’s bludgeoned broken and mangled body made its way to her royal throne, telling her the whole story… How could she let them simply get away with it?

While Angel recuperated in the hospital, Celestia had devised an intricate plan, should Fluttershy ever return with a vengeance…

It’s a little-known fact that the ponies of Equestria are a very advanced race… Dr. Whooves is proof of such things; the ponies had already harnessed the power of time-travel years ago… But that was not all… Deep in the catacombs of the royal palace, a cloning project was well underway…

“The ponies that did this, they deserve punishment, but they are far too prominent to simply do away with. Each one contributes to the whole of ponyville… Now what better method do you think there can be, than to simply make another one to take over…?”

That was the plan…

Rarity’s house was the perfect place to extract DNA… Each and every single aspect of the ponies lives were studied, reviewed, and encoded within the clones… And deep within the royal palace they were developed…
Fluttershy’s timing couldn’t have been more perfect…

That night Celestia herself oversaw the placement of the clones right after each of the ponies were taken or killed by Fluttershy…

And the next day, nopony knew the difference…

Angel was going to leave the hospital in seven days, and Celestia planned to place Angel’s and Fluttershy’s clones on that last day, the day Angel was permitted to leave the hospital… But they didn’t move fast enough…

When they arrived, Fluttershy was dead. Infested with maggots and having lost so much blood, Celestia had to rely on some ancient magic long forgotten by most to revive her.

It was truly perilous… The nightmarish darkness, suffocating loneliness and unquenchable despair was Fluttershy coming back to life… And Celestia suffered Fluttershy’s pain too.

She already knew that Fluttershy had no life in ponyville, and after all that Fluttershy had suffered, that life would always be death if she remained.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

That is why she brought her here… To the other side of Equestria with the most reliable and true friend that she had ever known…

The transaction was not easy, bringing Fluttershy’s home all this way, rebuilding another one at the old spot. But she knew it was worth it, it was truly better this way… Celestia felt some guilt, but the clones resembled their archetypes so well, that she had all but forgotten the situation…

“You’re home now” Celestia said with a smile.

Fluttershy released Angel, who hopped back into the wheelchair and proceeded down to the waterline. And she turned around, looking to Celestia, her eyes shimmering, she smiled… Celestia absorbed the moment as best as she could, this would be the last time she saw the real Fluttershy, this would be the end.

Celestia, with one powerful swoop of her wings flew away from the beachhead and over the trees that lined the world beyond, until soon she disappeared from sight.

Fluttershy watched Celestia fly away. And she turned again to the sun setting over the waves of the ocean… The sun’s light reflected off of the surface of the water, making the waves shine like gold. Fluttershy looked to the light and saw a trail paved with gold, and leading to a brave new world. Somewhere out there…

After so much darkness, despair, and pain, at long last there was a light. Fluttershy had her whole life taken from her in one night, she thought she was alone and the only way out was death… Pain and fear scream so loud sometimes, that it can take away who we are, and darkness will fall upon us when we need the light most of all…

But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel… There will always be a tomorrow, but choosing to go forward with it, and to March on is the challenge.

The sun disappeared behind the waves and the sky darkened... Fluttershy walked back into her home and closed the door…

If you want a happy ending, stop... right... there...

Meanwhile… Rarity sat within the tomb, she had eaten the centipedes, and part of the other victims crammed into the body bag… She sat twitching; holding the tool Fluttershy had used to pin her down by her vagina. She sat twitching, insane, repulsive, the centipedes had mutilated her face, her legs were decayed, and she held the stake in quivering hooves… Just repeating under her ragged breath… “I’ll find you Fluttershy... I’ll find you…”

Rarity took in another deep breath. The air was so toxic now that if someone breathed it in, it would probably turn their lung into a medium-rare steak. But not Rarity… Not anymore, the infection known as revenge now controls her.

“I’ll find you Fluttershy…”

Rarity raised the stake.

“I will find you…”

And ripped through the frail, dead skin of Big Macintosh!

The dirt and mud seemed to rush in like a tidal wave, and Rarity roared as it covered her body.

Up above the ground, among the leaves, Apple Bloom wandered the woods, looking for her fellow cutie mark crusaders… “HEY! WHERE DID YOU GUYS GO?!” Apple Bloom had been walking this dried up riverbed for hours, in C.M.C. standard time hours is about seven minutes, and there was not a sign of her two friends…

She stopped, standing on the leaves, she looked around… “Where’d them two get to?”

Just then she felt two hooves grab onto her! Screaming she cowered into a ball. “HA! HA!”

Opening one eye, she realized what had just happened. “Darn you Scootaloo! You darn near gave me a heart-attack!” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle hadn’t stopped laughing at the young farm-pony.

“We really got you good!” Sweetie Belle called from the bank of the old river.

“Come on! It was just a joke, did you really think that, ah I don’t know. That some kind of zombie thing was going to attack you out here?”

Apple Bloom smiled and laughed at her own silliness, “Nah, y’all just caught me off guard. That’s all!” Scootaloo smiled, but before she could laugh, two hooves rose from the leaves and grabbed Apple Bloom and Scootaloo by the jaw, and pulled them down to the ground.

Sweetie Belle called out! “Hey! What are you two doing down there?!”

Scootaloo screamed, the grip on her jaw was terrible, whatever it was that had her was pulling, hard! She struggled, trying to get away from whatever it was, but it was just pulling on her harder… Apple Bloom was screaming, crying, struggling just trying to get free from whatever it was, and behind her teeth she could taste blood.

“Sweetie Belle HELP!!!” Scootaloo called

Sweetie Belle squinted at her two cohorts, both holding their heads to the ground, and then smiled skeptically at the scene. “Oh, I get it, you’re trying to scare me right!? Well it’s not going to work this time!”

Scootaloo was about to reply with something about Sweetie Belle’s intelligence (or lack thereof) when suddenly Rarity arose from the ground. Her upper body burst from the dirt and she had a long metal stake in her mouth.

She looked at the terrified squirming young morsels, and then smiled. Apple Bloom screamed and began squirming around, calling out for Big Macintosh and Applejack! Rarity twisted Apple Bloom’s jaw, which broke with a crackle as blood and a couple teeth flew from the young fillies’ bloody maw.

With a final pull, Apple Bloom’s jaw exploded in two, her throat cavity exposed, split jaw hanging from either side of her face, she fell to the ground in a heap.

She squealed on the ground and Rarity turned her attention to Scootaloo. Apple Bloom was effectively subdued by the pain, she wouldn’t be going anywhere. Turning to Scootaloo Rarity grabbed her by the ears and lifting her up to her face. Scootaloo was so paralyzed by fear all she could do was scream. Rarity opened her mouth to reveal six jagged, decayed, rotten teeth.

Pain filled Scootaloo’s head. Rarity had bitten down into one of her eyes and began gnawing, chewing and pulling it from her socket. She screamed and squirmed, flapping her wings, kicking around. Rarity had already pulled out Scootaloo’s eye and began chewing; she then swallowed and looked at the screaming bloody face before her.

“I’m so hungry…”

Rarity dove into Scootaloo, mouth first, she began tearing out chunks of her neck, ripping off patches of her dermis like the skin off of fried chicken, and then tearing apart everything inside. She bit down of Scootaloo’s esophagus and pulled on it, Scootaloo’s tear-filled cries turned into a bloody gurgle and she died.

Rarity had completely pulled out Scootaloo’s throat which she proceeded to eat. Chewing thoroughly, she dropped Scootaloo and turned her attention to Apple Bloom. She grabbed the stake in her right hoof, and grabbed Apple Bloom by the tail with her left.

Apple Bloom shrieked as she was dragged back to… Apple Bloom didn’t even know who or what it was, but it was really bad!

Rarity began to stab Apple Bloom over and over again with the stake, Apple Bloom was screaming and coughing up blood from her throat, and her tongue, still attached to her face, was writhing about. Apple Bloom couldn’t say anything that you could understand, but if you want to know what she was saying, I’ll tell you.

She was screaming for Big Macintosh to come and save her, the entire time, oh how she wanted her older brother to come and be the hero… But he didn’t, and what happened was made sweeter by the fact that Rarity had just crawled out of the dead Big Macintosh, and the gentle giant Apple Bloom had been with these past few weeks was just a clone.

Rarity kept stabbing until Apple Bloom was bleeding all over, Then Rarity opened her mouth and bit down on Apple Bloom’s tongue hanging from her mutilated mouth.

Blood squirted from the sides of Apple Bloom’s tongue and Rarity began biting harder and pulling back hard, Apple Bloom’s stump of a tongue bled all over and Rarity chewed twice before swallowing…

Meanwhile up by the banks, Sweetie Belle had her ears plugged. If her friends were trying to scare her, they were doing a pretty good job. Their screams sounded pretty realistic and it would probably give her nightmares! So, she decided to simply cover her ears and wait until they came up to get her…

She felt a hoof on her shoulder.

“About time you guys-!”

Sweetie Belle froze, standing before her was Rarity, fresh blood running down her chin, her body calloused and dirty from the centipede bites and crawling through the dirt…

“I’ll find you Fluttershy…” She whispered…

The END?
