Legacy of Death Belle: The Cursed Crusader

"Yo Sweets!" Scootaloo's voice shouted as Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes and ignored her.

They walked for several hours, it took three days just for Sweetie Belle, and with regret Scootaloo trotting along side her, just to get the the mountain in which the legendary Master Rainbow Dash was fabled to train the Pegasus and even Earth ponies to become their own master of assassination.

With a sigh and gritting her teeth for smoking her second to last Diseased Stallion in her carton, Sweetie Belle's nerves were wearing down as Scootaloo kept talking....and talking....and talking, most were just insults, others were smart ass comments for when Sweetie Belle did reply...but none were of happy memories before her death.

"You know what I don't understand, Sweets? Why not just hire a Pegasus to fly you up there, instead of trotting through half of Equestria like you some sort of bas ass unicorn? I mean come ON girl, we both know you don't got no bits...hay, you have to use that jewel AND a little flank action to even try to-"

"Will you please, SHUT UP!" Sweetie Belle suddenly screamed without turning around, wishing for the third time in a day that her scythe could slice through spiritual creatures, forcing Scootaloo to stop and frown with a hurt look before a smug grin came onto her muzzle.

"Oh I get it, that time of the month again, huh? Well, when a female's got to go, she got to go right? Why don't you just use that....oh wait...we don't got no trees...well, guess you could always dig a hole and use your tail to wipe-"

"SCOOTALOO!"  the unicorn filly screamed making her friend's grin get even wider.

"What? We grown...fillies, we can have this talk you know...it's OK...here, I'll even teach you where foals come from, HEY! Where you going?" the Pegasus shouted with a laugh as the filly ignored her and continued to walk, wishing for some miracle to drag Scootaloo back to Tartarus.

Sadly for her, her wish was not granted, but coming close to the edge of the cold, snow infested and sharped wind of where her would-be master was close at hoof. With a deep breath Sweetie Belle lifted her right front hoof and reached out to step onto the soft, powered white snow, ignoring Scootaloo's comment to "Jump into it as you would a pool and get it over with" and rested the hard crusted limb deep into the snow and hissed as she felt it snap at her like a Diamond dog.

"Damn, that hurt." Sweetie Belle shouted as she gritted her teeth and ignored the string of the cold to take another step with her right front hoof this time, and after two hours and using all her will to not run ahead to warm up her body but slip, fall and get her coat wet as a result, she was coming closer to the building known as the Talent of Heart....a school fitted only for ponies, or even other creatures who wished to learn the special art of attack and defense, for the common good.

The building itself was sixty feet in length and two stories high in height, golden bronze torches were outside to light a way into the entrances and large banners of a single pony standing on it's rear legs with it's front right hoof curved and it's left curved even higher then the right in victory was imprinted on the cloth, showing that no pony could not attain success if they tried their best

.

A small, gray colored coated unicorn filly with golden eyes and a long yellow colored mane and tail with no cutie mark was coming out of the building, going to light a torch that had gone out with a long black wooden stick that had afire lit on the edge away from her mouth and smiled in satisfaction at her accomplishment before her eyes rested on the unicorn filly not even fifty feet from her.

With a shout of surprise she dropped the flaming stick and cried out in terror as it fell to the wooden floor and started to light the ground before she stomped it out, or tried to before it burnt her hooves and made her cry out in pain.

Without a seconds hesitation, Sweetie Belle ran up and slid hard into the snow, forcing the icy cold element to fly high into the air and land onto the small flames that would have spread outward if not stopped.

"Wow.....you might have just saved my life, thanks." the gray colored unicorn smiled as she looked the filly before her over once, impressed "Are you here to be a new servant for Master Dash? No, you can't be because you have a weapon." she asked glancing at her scythe as Sweetie Belle looked at her confused.

"Servant?" she repeated allowing the filly to nod her head eagerly with a smile before stopping and frowning.

"You don't know what a servant is? Wow...you must really be new.....a servant of Master Dash and Chief Gilda is any unicorn who is willing to cook, clean, breathe and if necessary, fight for the Talent of Heart students....and their masters. I'll admit, it's not a very great job if one does not mind being treated like a second class creature...but hey, it's great pay....even though we get yelled at a lot if we mess up and it's cool to meet the other ponies...even though some call you names and laugh behind you back...but..." she stopped, not really able to find something worth explain why she enjoyed her job so much.

With a rough shake of her head the unicorn could find nothing to really justify the school not meant for unicorns.

"Anyway...my name is Dinky Doo, welcome to Talent of Heart....come on, I'll show you around, um-"

"Sweetie Belle...that's my name." she replied with an honest smile as Dinky nodded and turned around to enter the building, picking up her fallen stick and trotting inside.

"Hey, what about me, Sweets? Not going to tell her who I am?" Scootaloo chuckled as Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes and did not speak, making the orange Pegasus to comment.

"And hey, great job helping out Doo bitch or whatever her name is, she does not have the words loser stamped on her forehead or anything ha, ha,ha, ha, ha" she whispered causing the filly to grit her teeth in rage once more of her new friend being treated so harshly...and to a dead pony no less.

"Her name is Dinky Doo, Scoots and she seems like an honest filly so leave her alone, alright?"  Sweetie Belle whispered back making Scootaloo roll her eyes and get out a single cigarette, put it in her mouth, light a match with her tail and inhale the tobacco with a large grin as she exhaled it out her nose.

"Ah, yeah....this is where it's at, Sweets, and as for your perfect little fan girl, she's a scared little bitch.....sort of like you...but smarter, you know? Bet she can't even hear me...HEY DUMBO!" Scootaloo shouted causing Sweetie Belle to gasp loudly, hoping the filly trotting ahead of her did not hear before sighing with relief once Dinky did not turn her head and glaring at Scootaloo who shrugged.

"Guess only you can really hear and see me...lucky you, mini marshmallow, catch you later." Scootaloo laughed before she vanished into the floorboards, smoking trailing behind her.

With a sigh, Sweetie Belle kept pace with Dinky who had set the flaming stick that the snow had put out with the others while she was talking with Scootaloo and walked pass many empty rooms that were quarters for students, making Sweetie Belle wonder where the servants slept.

After twenty minutes, the two stopped near a large tan wooden double door that Dinky pushed open with her hooves as she smiled at Sweetie Belle and stepped aside.

"Sorry, Sweetie Belle...servants are not allowed in the training area unless it's an emergency, Chief Gilda gets furious with us...I'm hoping your able to stay here though and be a servant, I would love to have a new friend that does not tease me so much because of who my sister is...oh look, there she is now!" Dinky exclaimed in excitement at the sight before her eyes, making Sweetie Belle follow as what she saw shocked her to no end.

A gray coated mare Pegasus having a blond mane and tail and with two beautiful, enchanting golden color eyes that were looking in different directions every time and was wearing a black colored stash over her waist had a large sliver colored sword with a golden colored hilt and a miniature what looked to be gold muffin on the top of the weapon clenched tight in her teeth, and another wrapped firmly around her tail, the blades locked in combat.

The mare's opponent was a female hybrid of the body of a lion and an eagle...that which was known as a griffin. She had her claws wrapped around the weapons, making sure they did not damage her as she narrowed her eyes and taunted the Pegasus.

"Come on, Derpy...cut the shit, I know you did not become the number one student in this school with that sort of skill, hay my little brother could do better then you are, and he was just born a year ago."

The griffin laughed causing the mare known as Derpy to become enraged and with her tongue sticking out to the right of her mouth, her eyes narrowed and a power flap of her wings, Derpy broke the contact with the blades and claws and slashed with the one in her mouth at the hybrid who screamed as the blade sliced deep into her right wing.

Blood stained the ground as she bit back a curse and dodged the slash from Derpy's tail, countering back with a slash near Derpy's muzzle who blocked the limb with her wings, forcing a deep claw mark into the feathers as Derpy screamed then with a shout of rage, pushed out her wings and slashed her two swords deep into Gilda's chest who screamed as blood sprayed onto the floor in a small puddle.

With a roar, Gilda flapped her wings and pushed herself forward before slashed her right claw deep into Derpy's muzzle, causing a claw mark that would forever be a scar that went from her left jaw to her nose as she narrowed her eyes and with another scream, slammed her front hooves deep into Gilda's spine and forced her to the ground who could do no more then cry out in pain, her body already weak because of the heavy blows.

The griffin gasped loudly in pain as she stepped back four feet, causing blood to drip down through her feathers with every step before she kneeled down onto the hard oak floor, her right rear paw on the floor as her left was holding the rest of her body up, her wings covering her form as she chuckled.

"Ha.....your getting better, Derpy...improving....got to say I'm impressed." Gilda spoke with a hint of anger as she looked to the ground and winced as a long, thick line of blood ran down her chest.

"Seems she's getting better then you, Gil....that now's bucking hilarious.....yo, Derpy, you doing much better then I thought...maybe your finally ready to face me." a cyan bodied Pegasus mare with a rainbow colored mane and tail spoke as she was laying lazily on the rafters above, before she opened her wings and gilded to the floor, her cerise colored eyes looking at the crossed eyed mare before snapping back to the griffin bleeding in defeat.

"I.....I don't belive I'm ready, Master Dash. It was just pure luck that I have defeated Chief Gilda, Master."

"Yeah, it's also pure luck that my ass has a rainbow colored tail, nah...you got some serious skill, what you say we...who's that?" Rainbow Dash asked looking at Sweetie Belle, her voice tinted with a hint of disbelief and shock.

Gilda looked up, a smug grin appearing on her beak as she took a step forward before her leg jerked from under her and she roared in anger, not knowing that Derpy's blades cut so deep.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and sighed before shaking her head slowly "Hey, servants? Your Chief is a bucking idiot and hurt, why don't you tape her up?" she shouted as the six unicorns from both genders and different ages come forth from unknown areas of the structure to gently grab the hybrid from the ground and lift her with their magic, or the older adults did at least.

"Wait.....what's your story, filly? Why are you here?" Gilda asked glaring at Sweetie Belle with her left eye, her right closed due to losing consciousness and her body stopped and in the air held by magic.

"Uh......I......I'm here to.....ummm.....train with the other students, Master Dash and Chief Gilda," Sweetie Belle stopped, her throat suddenly dry as she wished for once Scootaloo was here to at least insult her to tell her what to do. But she was alone this time...completely.

With a deep breathe, she spoke...hoping that she sounded as brave as she did not feel in the slightest.

"I want to learn how to use my body, heart and soul for the greater good....for a sense of justice and-"

"Stop , stop...just, just stop alright. Who the hay do you think you are, girl? Your a unicorn in case you have not figured that out which would be very sad...how old are you even, seven?" Rainbow Dash asked with her eyes narrowed as she trotted up to the filly and glared at her, the filly herself about a minute away from soiling her fur.

"I...I'm twelve, Master" she replied nervously.

"Twelve huh....hmm.....no. Look, maybe if you want, I could make you a servant but I don't do  unicorns training under my wing....ever! Maybe, just maybe if you gave me an excuse as to why I should let you in, I might think about it...but it's so bucking narrow of a chance that it could never happen, trust me....there's not a unicorn in the land that could match the skill of Diamond Slayer" she whispered softly before turning away causing Sweetie Belle to gasp in shock, her eyes widen in shock.

"Yeah...that's what I thought, filly...nice try though...now if you'll excuse me, I got a fight with my number one student to accept." Rainbow Dash laughed before she continued walking as Sweetie Belle with nothing left to lose shouted.

"Please....let me join, please Master." she begged, her body dropping to the ground from exhaustion and fear of being turned away, not able to get revenge on her sister and have herself a normal life.

"And why should I?" Rainbow Dash shouted back  not even bothering to turn around as she sat in front of Derpy who frowned at the filly, awaiting her answer.

"BECAUSE SHE'S MY SISTER!" Sweetie Belle had no other choice, she had to use her last resort which made every single pony and one griffin stop what they were doing at stare at the filly in shock, not understand nor believing that this filly was related to one of the greatest sword ponies in the world....who used to be the bearer of the number one jewel, the Mare of Beauty, Diamond Slayer.

The unicorns were so shocked that they dropped Gilda who was in so much disbelief herself that she did not even register the pain, Rainbow Dash eyes were widen in shock and betrayal, for she had raised and taught the mare everything she knew, and she had been repaid by the unicorn leaving in the middle of the night with that damn green jewel she found claiming that it was a message that she was chosen from the goddesses, what a load of bullshit.

For fifth teen years she had trained Rarity until she was better then even herself...but she had failed in thinking that the mare would not wish to remove her chains and do what ever her heart wished.....and now this filly who dare claims she was related to her wishes to train under her. And for what?

For what? Why was this filly really here? How dare she even show her face.

"What did you say?" Rainbow Dash snarled, her teeth tensed in rage as Sweetie Belle swallowed the large amount of spittle in her throat and spoke again, her voice more firmer because she had spoken the truth.

"I said she is my-" her voice was cut off by a front hoof slamming into the left side of her face, causing her to be stunned and shocked that her assaulter was none other then the mare at which she wanted to hold so highly, Rainbow Dash.

"Get out....you filthy, maggot rotting piece of fur...GET OUT!" she screamed, her power wings still flapping to hold her in the air as Sweetie Belle held a hoof to the injured side of her face and with tears forming in the corner of her eyes she kept her them to the ground before glancing briefly at Dinky Doo then the other small fillies and colts and without another word, she turned her body away and walked out the entrance,for if she could not be trained by Master Dash...where was she to go?
