The Punishment of the Villains

Tirek hurled a large fist at the ponies, and they scattered, jumping over couches and tables to avoid the blow that would come along with it. Cozy flew up towards Rainbow, who was glaring down at her, and attempted a body-chuck.

Rainbow dodged, and zipped around the filly repeatedly, making her dizzy. Her tongue flopped out, and an ear twitched violently before she plummeted to the ground.

Sombra hissed at the two sisters as he and Chrysalis fought to keep their barrier up, protecting what ever was in the bag with all their might. Beads of sweat rolled down his face, and he gritted his teeth, easily becoming over whelmed by the alicorn magic.

Cadence held the heart above Twilight, and cast a quick spell on it, making a brilliant blue light dawn her sister-in-law. Twilight gasped as if she had been under water for a good five minutes, and all the scribbles and other horrors on her body vanished. She stood, and hugged her sister.

"Thank you sis!" She cried in joy.

The moment ended when an orange and black beam of magic sailed over their heads. Cadence glared up at Tirek, and shot magic back at him, starting up a magic duel. "We will defeat you!" She spat, flying up when their spells collided. Tirek snorted, and ceased his power. Cadence blinked with confusion when her magic neared him, but a moment to late realized what he was going to do. "NO!" She shrieked as her magic was absorbed once again. "Argghagghhaaahh!" She collapsed onto the ground with a weak 'thud', and looked up to see a massive grey hoof blocking her vision. Tirek was going to squash her like a bug.

Just then, Luna rammed into him, with such a powerful force that Tirek tumbled to the ground. He cried out as the room tilted from the sudden weight. Outside, howling could be heard as a mysterious snowfall began to flurry the city. Tirek smashed into a window, nearly falling out of the castle. Now they were up in one of the towers, and you could imagine how scary this would be, seeing as it is en-lodged into a mountain.

Wendigo spiralled above the city, showing that the ponies where at unease with one another. The horse/demon cried out as his life flashed before his eyes. The section of wall supporting him gave way, and he slid off the edge, gripping the side of the floor with his beefy claws for last support.

"HELP! HELP ME PLEASE!" He shrieked, struggling to climb up. Luna, Cadence, and Twilight appeared at the edge, glaring daggers down at him.

"Why should we help you? You've been nothing but a tyrant to us, and all of pony kind. Do you not recall the fact that it was the helhest king Caballo who tortured you? Yet you seek to hurt us in revenge." Luna snorted in her 'Royal Canterlot' tone.

Tirek gasped with realization, and a horrible gritting sound came from his claws, and the marble linoleum.

Beams of magic flashed past the alicorns heads, and figures battled it out in the distance. He locked eyes with them, attempting to make Cozy's prized 'I'm innocent, and oh so adorable' face. When it didn't work, he let out a long sigh, and let go.

Cozy lifted her head from the ground, glancing up and around at the scene playing out before her. 'Where is Tirek?' She wondered, scanning the room for signs of the large centaur. He was...She spotted two red claws at the side of the room, which was tilted now. She gaped at the three princesses looking out the hole, not helping him. 'Not now Tirek! No! Your my only friend!' She cried to herself. She shakily stood, and galloped to the ledge, watching the claws all the time. Then, they let go.

"NO TIREK!" She cried, lunging towards the hole. She shoved past the princesses, and gaped in horror at Tirek speeding down the wall of the turret. She dove down, ignoring the voices of the princesses, and focused on saving her friend. "Come back here!" She pleaded, flapping her wings even harder. The now colder air nipped at her weak summer coat, but she ignored this as well, and reached out to grab Tirek's claw. 'Almost...come on you stupid hand!' She flung herself down harder, her wing-bones close to snapping, and...'Yes!' She grabbed his beefy hand, and tugged upwards, attempting to slow her decent and carry him back up to the fight. Tirek looked up at her.

"You can't save me, us Cozy." He said, his voice nearly lost in the raging wind surrounding them. "I'm too heavy."

Cozy swerved her ears left and right to catch his words, then shook her head. "I don't care! Your my only friend Tirek, and I won't lose you! Not yet!" She attempted to tug him back up again, but the strain on her shoulders became to great, and a sickening snap sounded out from her right arm. Cozy Glow cried out in agony as her arm disabled it's self from her shoulder, hanging limply. She struggled to keep flying, and felt Tirek's hand slip away from her. They were dangerously close to the ground now, falling at a great speed.

Tirek smacked her hand away, and gave her a sad smile. "Go back up there and defeat them like the little annoying pegasus I know. My time has come Cozy. Goodbye."

Cozy felt tears stream down her face as she watched him plummet to his death. "TIREK!" She sobbed out loud as his body collided with the ground, exploding in an array of gore. She swooped down, and grabbed a chunk of bloody carnage that was once a centaur oh so special, and sobbed into it.

"Chris...I can't..h-hold it much...longer!" Sombra wheezed as Celestia fought to destroy their shield.

Chrysalis had ceased holding the shield when Sombra had taken control, keeping the bag nestled underneath a transparent wing.

"Let me help then!" She pleaded.

Sombra glanced back at her, his face soaked with perspiration. "What about the..."

She frowned, and lit her horn, regenerating the shield. "I can fight. I'm not letting you kill yourself Sombra."

The stallion relaxed, and closed his magic off, taking the bag from the changeling, and closing his hooves around it. Celestia fought to destroy the shield for another long minute before she collapsed to the ground in an exhausted heap.

Sombra scanned the room. All the ponies in the room either looked over a hole in the wall, where snow poured into the room, or surrounded the bubble.

"Were are Cozy Glow and Tirek?" He demanded Chrysalis.

The changeling looked around the room, and bared her teeth. "Traitors probably fled when no one was looking and left us to deal with them because they don't get to know about the-"

"Come out and fight us you cowards!" Luna bellowed, shooting a beam of blue magic at the barrier.

Chrysalis flinched, and forced more magic up. "Sombra, the-there isn't much time left...What do we do with-"

The barrier shattered then, frying Chrysalis' horn, and the ponies prepared to strike the last two villains. Sombra stepped in front of Chrysalis, the bag around his chest, and hunched over, snarling at the mares.

"Sombra, perhaps you should-" Chrysalis started, but was cut off when Luna fired a beam of magic at her. She cried out and ducked, unable to use her magic due to her horn damage, and backed into a corner.

Sombra growled again, and rammed into Luna, knocking her down. He passed Chrysalis the bag with his magic, and attempted to fight off all the ponies.

GORE SCENE

"YOU WILL PAAAAY!" Cozy Glow bellowed, shooting up and into the room suddenly. She held a chunk of what had to be Tirek close to her chest, the bloody carnage dying her coat red. "YOU KILLED MY ONLY FRIEND! HOW WILL YOU FEEL WHEN I KILL ALL OF YOURS!?" She grabbed a rock, dropping Tirek, and hurled it at Twilight's face.

The room fell silent as the rock smacked into the alicorns snout, causing blood to gush out. Cozy grabbed another rock, and threw it at Fluttershy, making her cry out in horror as it hit her flank, a steady stream of gore caking the picture of butterflies.

"YOU STUPID LITTLE F**KS!" Cozy cried, her face contorted in pain and anger. "I'M GONNA STRIKE YOU ALL TO THE GROUND! THEN I'LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB AND EAT YOUR GUTS!" She chuckled, sounding insane and barricaded Cadence with the stones.

The mare, unable to harm a filly, cried in anguish as she was pelted to death. Her blood soaked the ground, and her intestines leaked out of her torn belly, rib cage displayed for all to see.

Chrysalis gaped. "Cozy?" She turned and vomited as the filly grabbed the pink mare's head, and slammed a rock into it repeatedly. Luna, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Apple Jack attempted to pull her away from the dead body of Cadence, while Rarity fainted in shock. Spike turned and backed away in horror from the gruesome sight.

"Cozy! Cozy that's enough!" Apple Jack chided, touching her detached arm gently, and turning Cozy to face her. "Calm down. Anger won't solve anything."

Cozy's ear twitched. "THEY KILLED TIREK! THEY LEFT HIM TO FALL TO HIS DEATH! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE, AND YOU WILL NOT STOP ME!" She pointed her good arm towards the alicorns.

"You killed Tirek?" Sombra demanded. His ears shot up from behind his crown, and his pupils shrunk angrily. He took a furious step (more like a stomp) towards Luna and Twilight, and powered his horn.

Chrysalis looked up from behind him, to the lump of carnage laying on the ground by the whole, and her eyes narrowed. "They killed Tirek." She hissed in realization.

The two alicorns pupils shrunk as Sombra lunged at Twilight, snapping his teeth in her face as a means to kill her with them. Apple Jack and Rainbow dragged the furious filly away from the scene, and into Twilight's cage.

Chrysalis wrapped a wing around her bag, and head-butted Luna. The mare stumbled, and fell to the floor. She glared at Chrysalis, and shot her in the face with magic. Chrysalis flinched, and lunged again, struggling to attack Luna.

Twilight bucked Sombra off, and fired a past of magic at him. He dodged, and shot a fear spell at her. Twilight tried to cast a shield spell to block it, but accidentally cast a reflect spell. Sombra cried out as the spell bounced off Twilight's magic, and hit him square in the face.

The room swirled around Twilight, and she groaned as she was sucked into some kind of black void. "What is happening?!" She cried, grabbing at nothing. "Where am I? HELP!"

Commotion from behind her made her spin around. A gang of about five or six foals stood in a circle, chanting; "fight" Like a mantra. Twilight's curiosity got the best of her, and she went over to investigate. A blue earth-pony colt and a grey unicorn colt where inside the circle of fillies and colts, the blue one standing over the grey one. "Come on Sombrero. What's the matter, scared?" He slapped the grey foal across the face.

Twilight inhaled sharply. "Make it stop!" She cried, attempting to shoo the foals away from Sombra. Her hooves went right through them.

The grey one, Sombra, cowered back and away from the blue one. "Please!' He cried as two hind legs went hurling at his face, The sea of foals parted as Sombra rammed into the ground, blood leaking out of his nose. Another colt ran onto the scene then, appearing from the darkness. "Mrs. Chestnut Falls is coming!" He cried in a panicked tone.

The foals scurried away, except the blue one. "You won't tell on me, will you?" He hissed. "You know what happens to tattle-tales."

He flicked his tail into Sombra's face, and galloped away, leaving the colt to lay and suffer on the black ground.

"HELP!" Twilight cried, closing her eyes. "HOW DO I STOP IT?!"

"Twilight!" Pinkie cried.

Every-pony was staring at her. Even Chrysalis and Cozy Glow. Sombra was still enhanced into his nightmare, pupil's shrunk.

"What?" She asked, rubbing her head.

"Well, you were crying out to make it stop.." Apple Jack started.

"And your face is a ghastly white. Did he do something to you darling?" Rarity asked.

"No..I..did something to him." Twilight groaned and rubbed her head again. "I...saw his fear, a memory or something about a-"

"ENOUGH TALKING!" Chrysalis bellowed. "YOU HURT MY SOMBRA!" She threw herself at Twilight, baring her teeth. "MAKE HIM SNAP OUT OF IT!"

Twilight cried out, pushing Chrysalis away from her, or trying to. "I CAN'T!"

"YES YOU CAN!"

Luna shot Chrysalis in the back, and the changeling turned. Twilight slammed her hind-legs into the queens chest, and she stumbled off, wheezing and gasping for air.

Cozy rattled her cage. "Snap out of it Sombra! The mane 6 and the princesses are going to beat you!"

Sombra remained unfazed, and stared straight ahead, his aura wafting from his eyes. "No." He muttered. "NO!" He raised a hoof up as if to stop something. A single tear rolled down his cheek, splattering onto the linoleum with a faint 'splut' sound.

Apple Jack pounced on Chrysalis, and kicked her in the gut. The changeling stumbled awkwardly, and glared at the orange cow-pony. "I'm not giving up!" She spat, ramming her horn into the earth-ponies side.

Apple Jack cried out in agony as the curved horn dug into her gut. Blood leaked out of her side, and Chrysalis tore her horn out of Apple-Jack. Rearing up, the changeling slammed her fore-hooves down on the cow-pony, and Apple Jack fell, her head hitting the linoleum with a loud 'crack'.

Sombra shook his head, his eyes returning to normal, and glared at Twilight. "YOU." He snarled, igniting his horn. "How dare you!" He blasted her repeatedly, and Twilight ducked and weaved through each spell.

"It was an accident!" She panted when the barricade of spells didn't stop right away.

Sombra grew his wings again, and flew up into the air, shooting more powerful magic at her. Twilight cried out in agony as the spell slammed her into a nearby pillar. Sombra cast another spell with the intention of finishing her off, but stopped cold when Luna blasted the bag Chrysalis held.

a singular egg flew out of the satchel, smashed against a wall and exploded.
