Chapters Equestria's Corrupted Monarch
"Twilight, you must come out of that dusty old study. You're worrying all of us again!"
Rarity's words were muffled by the heavy oak of the door between them, and Twilight responded only with the flick of an ear.
Another voice called out, confident and loud, "C'mon Twi! You know you can't read every book in existance, you gotta get out and stretch your wings once in a while!" Twilight heard the handles jiggle on the door, but it remained closed. "C'moooon just a quick flight around town? I can show you how to do that move you were asking about!"
Twilight sighed, "Rarity, Rainbow, I'm busy! With the princesses gone, I have to do everything I can to run this nation properly!" She rubbed her hoof tips against her temples, "why didnt they teach me anything about politics and the paperwork involved in ruling before retiring and leaving me the soul monarch of an entire nation?" She sighed to herself.
A new voice joined outside the door, this one much happier and louder, "we can help you Twi Twi! How's about we all take a book and read it, then we can summarize it to you! It'll get done 6 times as quick!"
Twilight smiled a bit, Pinkie was always the problem solver. "Thanks Pinkie, but I can't just have the summaries. There are so many intricacies to each of these topics. I have species relations to catch up on, business files to review..." she slowly trailed off as her eyes caught back onto the paper and her reading resumed.
Outside the door, her friends all sighed, Applejack stepped towards the door and spoke softly, "We get it Twi, this stuff is new and scary for yuh. But we can help you if you let us, friendship has gotten us this far!" She waited in vain for a reply from the door. "...Well just give a holler if you need us. We're always here for yuh. You dont gotta do this alone."
'But I do' thought the newly crowned monarch. 'You may be my friends, but I'm the alicorn, I'm the ruler. At the end of the day, this is one task that truly is up to me'.
Twilight sighed and continued reading, her hooves tucked comfortably under her as a book was held in her magic. Three books sat to her right; her collection of finished books for the day. Many more sat to her left; the ones she would need to read next. She sighed, never having felt so daunted by reading before. But this wasn't just for her studies, this was now for the fate of Equestria's future. Could she really do it? Could she really live up to the names of Celestia and Luna?
She had to. The purple alicorn shook her distracting thoughts away and continued on reading.
Her attention was cut by a shuffling from behind her book tower. The monarch slowly closed her book, not taking her eyes off the tower, and slowly rose to her hooves. One hoof at a time she approached the tower, craning her neck to peer around it.
The shuffling came again. Twilight's purple eyes spotted something small and dark, like a black mouse, shuffling on some loose papers. Suddenly wishing for Fluttershy's powers of animal communication, she opened her mouth shyly.
Twilight smiled at the creature, trying to show it she meant no harm. It peered at her suspiciously and stepped closer, climbing onto the book stack to be eye level with her. Twilight's eyes grew wide as she heard it's voice within her head.
'Greetings, your majesty. It is an honor to meet you.' The small creature bowed a bit as it's voice permeated her thoughts.
Twilight opened her mouth wide, her lips twitching as if looking for the right words to say. Finally, without breaking eye contact, she cleared her throat and spoke, "h-hello there! I uh... I haven't seen your kind before. A small creature that can speak telepathically that is, or one made of such... dark fur." The alicorn looked the creature up and down several times, as if she could not comprehend what she was looking at.
It stood unmoving and unblinking, the only sign of life being its swaying tail. For a moment Twilight thought she may have been having an exhaustion hallucination, but the creature spoke to her once more.
'I am what you may call... a knowledge sprite. We are helpful magical creatures, summoned from books when needed most. It has been some time since I have seen an alicorn, tell me, where are the other princesses?'
Twilight's eyes grew wider with each new word this creature spoke, her mouth dropping lower and lower. An ancient magical creature! How had she never heard of this? Was it rare? How often did it appear if it hadn't seen an alicorn for a long time? All these thoughts and more raced in her sleep deprived brain, but she had never felt more awake.
The sprite cocked its head to the side in confusion. The bookish mare snapped her attention back to it. "Oh! I-im sorry, I'm just... a teensy bit overwhelmed at this encounter. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am the monarch of Equestria. The other princesses, well they retired, leaving me and my friends as the rulers."
The shadowy sprite seemed to take a moment to absorb the information. It's tail stopped swaying altogether, the creature sat eerily still.
'Hmm, that certainly is interesting. Much has changed since I was last summoned, this change of leadership comes as a big surprise. Though not unwelcome' the alicorn thought she detected a tiny smile on the black expressionless void of a face, but it was gone as soon as it came. 'That must be why I was summoned. You feel unprepared to rule, too much to learn but not enough time.'
Twilight smiled in relief, this thing was here to help her! "Yes! That is exactly how I feel. Oh the princesses left me with so much reading and learning to do, I'm worried I'll let the whole kingdom down!" The tall alicorn started pacing as she spoke, her long flowing hair waving restlessly as if sensing her turmoil. "But how can you help?"
The little sprite scampered down the book pile and took a look around the room. It skittered from one book to another, stopping to read the titles and quickly flip through them with seemingly no rhyme or reason. She didnt question the process.
Finally, the inky black creature sat upon one of her books and looked back into her eyes. 'I possess the ancient ability of incredible magical multitasking. Think of it like this. You have four hooves. With four hooves you can kick a ball while running, imagine instead you have 8 hooves. Now you can run and kick multiple balls at a time. That, in a sense, is the ability that I hold. You on your own can control your magic to do multiple things such as holding a book and sweeping the floor, but with my added help, you can hold and read all these books at once, absorbing all the knowledge that would take you days, if not weeks, in a mere hour.'
Twilight sat there dumbfounded. It sounded... so simple, so perfect. Is this little creature what helped Celestia to be so perfect in her rule? Did it help her out with seemingly impossible tasks? Celestia was amazing, but she wasn't perfect. This must have been the added tool to help everything run so smoothly!
The alicorn smiled toothily, "oh thank you! My, what great timing! I'm honored to receive your help, uh..." she trailed off.
Twilight held out her long hoof for the little creature to step onto, which it did. She held him up to her face and spoke again, "so how does this work?"
Marlamew sat up on his hind legs, 'touch your horn to me and state these words-' he waited for Twilight to touch her horn to him then spoke again 'I, Twilight Sparkle, invite thee in Marlamew'
Twilight shut her eyes and repeated him. "I, Twilight Sparkle, invite thee in Marlamew." If the naive alicorn had kept her eyes open, she would have been unable to miss the large, sharp toothed grin that spread across the black expanse of the creatures face. But it was too late. She had let it in voluntarily.
Slowly sitting up, Twilight put her hoof to her head and groaned. 'What the hay happened? Where am I?' She thought silently.
All around her the sky was filled with watercolor splotches of black and gray, the ground was a shiny black which reflected her image back at her. She gasped at what she saw.
Her long flowing mane had turned black on the ends, along with the tip of her horn. Her fur was darker purple, and her eyes were tinged red. But worst of all was her cutie mark; the six pointed star was blood red and the shining stars around it were black.
She stumbled backwards gasping for breath, terrified by this image of her. In a fit of panic, she lit her horn and cast a teleport spell. She didnt know where she was, but she knew her magic was strong enough to take her home regardless. The spell fizzled out, doing nothing. But the sparks left by the failed spell were a sickly red instead of her usual purple.
"HELLO? IS ANYPONY THERE?" She called out loudly, voice shaky and uncertain.
Twilight braced herself as the world started to rumble around her like an earthquake. "What in Tartarus is going on?" She breathed unsteadily to herself.
The shiny black ground in front of her began to morph slightly, it appeared as if a hill was forming out of the tar like substance. It kept growing, becoming 3 times as tall as the Princess herself. Bumps began to protrude from the hill once it reached its full height, sharpening into what looked like claws. The top of it grew two long straight horns.
Twilight's pupils shrunk to pinpricks as two white, vacant eyes appeared on the mass. She recognized the being at once.
The creatures toothy grin lit up its pitch black face, it spoke to her with this new found mouth instead of telepathically as it had before, "Ahh hello Princess! Thank you so much for letting me in! Oh it has been some time since I've inhabited a living form!" It clicked its long sharp claws together as if getting use to the new appendages.
The alicorn eyed the claws and gulped, stepping back shakily. She unconsciously readied an attack spell without even thinking about the failed teleport before. "Marlamew, wh-whats going on? Where am I? I thought y-you were going to help me?" She silently cursed herself for believing this creature so quickly. It really had been too good too be true.
Marlamew took notice of her horn lighting up and kept his smile even. "My, my~ this was so much easier than I thought it would be. Such perfect timing too... the rulers of Equestria leave a new, foolish, completely trusting alicorn ripe for the taking in charge of their kingdom!" His form grew longer and her coiled around himself in a seemingly smug manor. "Oh how wonderful. I've never possessed an alicorn... I tried over three thousand years ago, but of course the sun and moon princesses were keen to demons. They knew all about what I am."
Twilight kept taking steps back, sweat forming on her face. Her breathing grew ragged and hard. She didnt take her eyes off the behemoth of tar as it spoke, slowly realized just how fucked she was. She whined and aimed her horn down at Marlamew, channeling all the power she could and shot it out. But once again, it fizzled out and left sparks of red falling from the tip.
When that failed, she made eye contact one last time, then turned tail and fled.
The demon of tar lifted its head and let out a loud cackle, using its long clawed appendages to yank itself from the ground. It pulled its large body completely out of the ground, it's full form being revealed. It had a long torso like a Chinese dragon, that ended in thick dragon like hind legs. It's tail was long and thin, ending in a puff of fur. This creatures entered body was made of a pitch black material.
Once released, it scrabbled towards the fleeing princess, it's claws seemingly having trouble gaining traction on the shiny floor. But once it got a hang of gripping the ground, it was after her like a bat out of hell.
Twilight was far ahead, but the demon was gaining on her quickly, making large leaps towards her with its long disgusting limbs. The whole time, it's sharp disturbing smile never left its face and it's eyes bore into her fur like a laser.
Twilight pumped her hooves wildly, going as fast as her adtenaline fueled body would let her. She unfurled her wings, getting ready to take off and leapt into the sky-
-Only to stumble and roll over herself several times as her wings failed to catch air. She lay dazed for a few seconds before slamming her hoof on the ground and lifting her sore body back up. Her eyes were wide with panic, her mouth trembled in fear as tears pricked her eyes. She pushed forward once more as she heard the thumping of Marlamew gaining on her.
She wasnt fast enough though. The demon was gaining on her quickly, and as it did, Twilight could her its eerie, unnatural laughter. Like a foal playing tag mixed with the stereotypical cackle of a witch and a boar snarling. She turned sharply right, hoping to throw the creature off and give her a few more precious moments to run, but as she did so she noticed the complete lack of change in the environment. The splotchy sky didn't move with her, and the shiny black earth never seemed to dip or rise. It was like she was running in place, making no progress.
Her mind froze, unsure of what to do. She skid to a hault, panting with exhaustion and turned to face her demon-literally. Sweat dripped down her face as her neck hung low as if unable to support the weight of her head.
Marlamew slowed his approach as he caught up with her, each heavy clawed foot still shaking the ground. He seemed completely unfazed, not panting in the slightest. Twilight knew that wherever she was, she would be no match for this demon.
"What... do you... want from me?" She panted between breaths. The mass of black just stared at her for a moment, seeming to enjoy her fear and defeat.
He lifted a claw to her and gently ran it down her sweaty face as she trembled, then lifted it to his own maw. Opening his large toothed mouth, a blood red forked tongue slithered out and licked the fluid from his claw.
"You ponies have had it too good for too long. Now, it's my time. Everything you represent, I despise. Friendship, love, trust, it's all so disgusting and it's been the pillar of your existance." He neared his face to her own, but the alicorn didn't flinch, not wanting to give him the satisfaction. "I plan to knock down each and every pillar has held you ponies aloft. And I'll do it, starting with you; the ruler of the nation. The princess herself." He lifted his giant tar-like head and let out an earpiercing cackle, causing Twilight to clench her eyes shut and shove her hooves to her ears. "Oh you sniveling little fool! I've been trying to worm my way into your society for so long! Everyone has seen right through me though... the princesses, the scholars, the nobles, they've all caught on and promptly banished me back to Tartarus, just for me to claw my way back out. But you... the most powerful and influential being in the kingdom... you let me right in without a second thought!"
Before Twilight could even get a word in, Marlamew darted towards her and clawed his way into her mouth. Her jaw stretched wide until it cracked under the force. She let out a muffled scream and shoved her hooves to her face to try and pull him out, but he kept sinking deeper causing her throat to bulge. The princesses eyes filled with tears and rolled back in her head as his body wormed into hers. The whites of her eyes flashed blood red before returning to white.
When Marlamew was gone inside her, the princess stood motionless for a few moments, before gently smiling. Her horn flashed blood red, and then she was gone, leaving the black and gray dimension in silence.

Equestria's Corrupted Monarch
It had been 2 days since their last attempt at talking to Twilight. Fluttershy sat at a long, wooden table in one of the Canterlot Castle's many meeting rooms with four of her friends, each looking more defeated than the last. Pinkie Pies hair was deflated and flat, and her fur was pale with sadness. She rested her pouting head on the table in defeat. The sight made Fluttershy want to cry.
Next to Pinkie, Rainbow Dash was sitting deeply in her chair, her hooves crossed over her chest and a pouting look across her face making her look like a filly that was in time out.
Rarity and Applejack sat next to eachother across the table from Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rainbow, talking to eachother.
"Darling no one thinks you're stupid. Especially not our Twilight. She's just taking this whole thing hard. You know how she gets when the princesses put a challenge on her; she works and works until she finds a solution." Rarity patted Applejacks shoulder with her hoof, causing the farm pony to look at her, "We have always been here to help and she knows that, but maybe this feels more like her studies from back before we met her. She just needs some more time to realize we can help with more than just beating up bad guys and helping run the School of Friendship. The fact she has trusted the school to us for the time being shows that she does trust us, and doesn't think we are incapable."
Applejack smiled warmly at her friend, Rarity was actually quite smart and insightful when she wanted to be. "You're right. I'm sorry for blowing up like that."
Rarity returned the smile, "Think nothing of it dear."
Rainbow groaned from across the table rolling her eyes. "Twilight knows how awesome we are! And I dont just mean me, I mean all of us together as one! Why wouldn't she let us help? The princesses left us in charge too." The rainbow mare ended with a harumph.
The five mares heads snapped to the giant ornate door of the room as it opened. A bat pony guard bowed next to the door as their sixth friend stepped into the room. The five friends all sprung up excitedly, they hadn't seen Twilight outside of the castle library in days!
Pinkie Pie was the first to zip forward and embrace the princess in a hug, "Twilight you're finally out! Oh my gosh I haven't seen you in like..." the pink mare held up her hoof and quietly counted to five, causing Twilight to raise an eyebrow, "five days! Oh Twilight you gotta let me throw you a 'You studied for five days straight' party!"
Rainbow was the second to zip to the purple alicorn's side, she held her face uncomfortably close to Twilight's, "finally! Wanna go flying Twi? I'm sure your wings are super sore!" A cough from the table caused the pegasus to turn her head, where Rarity was giving her a stern glance. Rainbow turned back to Twilight and gave an awkward smile, "oooor, we can help you with your book stuff! Heheh, ya!" Rarity face hoofed at Rainbow's obvious un-enthusiasm.
Twilight gave each of them a level smile, moreso like a princess addressing her subjects than a friend. "Thank you girls, I do appreciate the concern and the... invitations. But I am still quite busy. I've just come to stop by to give you all a surprise! Come, follow me."
The element bearers each exchanged a confused glance, except for Pinkie who gasped excitedly and poofed her mane up back to its full glory. They got to their hooves and followed Twilight out the door of the meeting room.
Pinkie hopped excitedly beside Twilight and bombarded her with questions of where they were going and if there would be cake. Twilight kept her uncomfortably calm smile and just answered "you'll see Pinkie!"
Fluttershy felt her hooves tingle, something felt wrong.
Twilight led her friends to one of the spare bedrooms and opened the door. There was no furniture in the room, aside from In the center was a large glass box.
The alicorn princess walked into the room, her friends trailing behind feeling more and more uncomfortable by the minute.
The rest of the girls stepped in towards Rainbow, wanting to come see if she was alright but not wanting to get close to the box.
"Girls girls, calm down! You're overreacting! Come on let me show you, it's really nothing to worry about."
They stepped towards the box and Twilight turned towards them. She had a large smile on her face that she always had when she was about to explain an amazing discovery she made.
"Now, this box is enchanted with illusion magic! It kind of simulates a situation you wish to see or experience! I found it in the basement store rooms, Celestia had a lot of neat artifacts in there."
Pinkie's eyes grew wide and she 'ooo'ed and 'aww'ed. Rarity looked almost as wide eyed as Pinkie, no doubt thinking about all the outfits she could envision brought to life before having to use her expensive materials to know if they would be a hit.
Twilight touched her horn to the glass door and it popped open. "You can all go at once! It's got a sort of non-euclidean sense of space so you can all experience your own things without overlapping!"
The girls all winnied in wonder and excitement, exchanging excited glances before rushing towards it.
Fluttershy entered last, staring at the glass that surrounded her on all sides. The rippling texture was much easier to see on this side of the glass, and suddenly her hooves itched with worry again. Her body screamed at her to get out. Before she could even act on that, the door slammed shut behind her and Twilight touched her long horn to the door.
Rainbow flew from wall to wall, obviously not seeing the problem yet. "Cmon cmon! How's it work Twi?"
Twilight sat outside the box, giving each of her friends a very relaxed and self-assured smile. She lifted her long hoof and brushed it against the glass. "My my, I didn't realize how easy it would be to get you all in there. Your trust in me is so sweet!" She chuckled innocently. "I never realized just how good it felt to betray the ponies you love so dearly."
They each looked at her in horrified confusion as if unable to understand what she had said, before approaching the door and tapping on it. Applejack gave Twilight a disgusted grimace before turning around and bucking the door as hard as she could.
"What the hay are you talking about Twi? Betray us? Why would you do that?" The orange earth pony looked angry, she was the first one to really digest the words.
Twilight felt impressed by her mental fortitude. She took note of that mentally before speaking again. "Why? You know that's a good question. I guess the answer is as simple as: because I feel like it."
The other four ponies were starting to catch up, and Rainbow shoved her face against the glass, "heh, good one Twilight! You really got us good haha! Man I haven't been this freaked out in a while, you must have found some kinda book on pranking in that dusty old library!" Despite her words, her voice shook with uncertainty, as if trying to convince herself that this was all a joke.
Rarity pointed her horn down as Rainbow finished speaking and shot the door with a blast of bright blue magic. Her friends closed their eyes from the blinding light of it. Rarity lifted her head back up, shaking from exertion, to find not even a dent on the enchanted glass walls. She started panting, her breaths becoming loud and quick as her eyes shot around the container. "Twilight please! Let us out this isn't funny!"
The princess hummed thoughtfully. Rarity appeared to be claustrophobic. It was interesting all these new weaknesses she was noticing in the ponies she had fought beside and saved the world with. Another mental note was made with the new information.
"Well it's not suppose to be funny Rarity." She turned her head to the now sweating Dash, "it's not a joke either Rainbow. I don't want my rule to be so uninteresting and mundane as Celestia and Luna's was. Sure, they had Luna's banishment, but ponies literally forgot all about her after a couple centuries. She was nothing but an old foals tale. Unimportant and forgotten. I want to make sure that every pony remembers my name. Twilight Sparkle, the Queen of Equestria!"
Her friends still gave her a puzzled look, Pinkie cocked her head. "But what's that gotta do with locking us up? You're scaring us Twi..."
Fluttershy's skin crawled as Twilight's smile grew and took on a look of demented pleasure.
"I want my rule to be all about me. I've earned this honor a thousand times over for the service to Equestria I've brought! I deserve to do things as I see fit. It's why I was crowned ruler of Equestria after all! Even the leaders of the nation saw how influential and powerful I am. They saw what I deserved and handed it to me. So I won't let that go to waste." The alicorn slowly walked around the box, her friends continuously turning within the box to make sure their backs were never to her.
The princess stopped again back in front of the glass door and she gave all five of her former friends a long look, drinking in their fear and anger. She lifted her hoof and charged her horn. "So, I've taken it upon myself to stop this before it begins." And with that, she slammed her hoof to the ground and dark red magic shot from the ground, enveloping the glass box and pulling it into the ground.
She heard her friends high pitched wails and screams, their hooves on the box trying in vein to free themselves.
Equestria's Corrupted Monarch
The room spun as Rainbow Dash opened her eyes. At first all she could see was darkness, but gradually light filled the room. She craned her head around slowly and drowsily. The room was made of cracked cobble and stone, with lanterns hanging from chains on the ceiling. It appeared to be the same size as one of the Royal bedrooms, but definitely no where near as well kept. Water dripped from cracks in the walls and she flicked her ear at the sound of a mouse scurrying about.
She stood up slowly, shaking her head and groaning. Where was every pony? And where was she? The last thing she remembered was...
The box. Twilight. Her friends. Her eyes grew wide in remembrance and she hopped off the ground, speeding around the room to look for an exit with her lithe wings.
She froze midair as a voice cut through the silence of the room.
"Oh Dash, you aren't going to find a way out. I made sure of that." Rainbow turned her head to see Twilight standing in the spot where she had woken up. But this couldn't have been Twilight. Her hair and horn were scorched black on the ends, her coat was a deep purple, and her eyes were a shocking red, full of amusement and malevolence.
Dash's eyebrows furrowed as she slowly came down and landed on the cold floor. "Twi, what happened to you? Why do you look like that?" She snarled, "what did you do to my friends?"
The evil looking alicorn's smile morphed, she looked like someone who was about to tell a bad pun.
"YOUR friends?? You seriously still believe any of them even liked you? My goodness Dash! I knew you're stupid, but I thought you had some sort of idea!"
Twilight burst out laughing, her dark visage making the outburst feel even more terrifying.
The cyan pegasus flinched backwards at this, but quickly recovered and stomped her hooves, "what the hay are you talking about? Of course they like me! I'm Rainbow Dash!" She struck a pose, "we've been friends for years!"
Twilight's laughter stopped and she looked down at the pony before her. "Rainbow, none of them have ever liked you. Not even Scootaloo." Twilight started pacing Rainbow slowly, Rainbow paced with her, determined not to show weakness to this thing that looked like her friend.
"You are infuriating to be around! They all say it. So many ponies feel so bad for lonely little Dash, that we all have pretended for so long to like you! But that pretending is over."
Rainbow spun around as a bright red light gleamed off one of the cobble walls. A hole opened up in the wall and a bunch of ponies walked into the room. She recognized each of her element friends, as well as the wonderbolts and her parents.
As the last pony, Scootaloo, walked in, the magic hole vanished and Rainbow slammed into the wall.
The loyal pegasus hopped in front the group and faced Twilight. She snorted and scraped her hoof on the floor like a bull set to charge.
Twilight merely looked at the assembled ponies behind her knowingly. Dash turned her head and saw them each giving Twilight the same look back. This caused the pegasus to stutter.
"Wh-whats going on here? Why're you looking at her like that? Didnt you hear me? She's foalnapped me and now she's got you guys too!"
Spitfire rolled her eyes and groaned in annoyance, cutting off Rainbow before she could say more, "Stars above Rainbow! You can't be serious! You still don't get it? We are all here because we are tired of you!" The captain of the Wonderbolts approached her fellow flyer, "You love to fly around acting all high and mighty. Acting like you own the skies, like you're better than us! Well you aren't. And it's time you finally know it." Rainbow opened her mouth to respond but was met with a hoof to the jaw, knocking her head backwards and throwing her off balance.
Soarin snorted in amusement from right behind Spitfire, who smiled confidently.
Rainbow put a hoof to her chin, beads of blood dripped from where her front teeth were loosened by the blow. "I... I dont understand..." she mewled quietly.
Twilight came up behind her and dipped her head to talk into Rainbow's ear. "We are all sick of you, and have decided that the rest of Equestria would be better off without your terrible influence, your selfish acts, and your Tartarus-awful attitude."
"No! No that's not true! All my friends love me! This can't be right!" Rainbow yowled before getting the sock to her stomach. She doubled over and fell on her side, clutching her battered insides.
Rainbows mother, Windy Whistles, approached her daughter, her face was cold and unwelcoming. Rainbow opened one eye and looked up pleadingly at her mother, silently begging for her to say it wasn't true. Windy sighed heavily. "Rainbow I wish I could say I'm sorry, but you've been the worst daughter I could have hoped for." She lifted her blue hoof and swung is full force against Rainbow's ribs, causing the assaulted pegasus to cough violently, her eyes bulging form her skull and blood flying from her mouth. "You're the biggest disappointment I've ever seen! A complete embarrassment to me and your father." The older mare leaned her mouth down to Rainbow's ear. "Your father cries himself to sleep every night, just thinking about how useless you grew up to be. To be honest, I'm glad he didn't do this sooner."
"Sto-stop! Pl-ea-ease!" Was all the battered pegasus could get out before her father joined in and stomped his two front hooves heavily onto her chest. She squealed pitifully as the sickening crack of ribs rang out around the room.
Rainbow flailed her hooves around wildly, trying to get a grip on the floor to pull herself away from the onslaught. But she screamed as her front hooves were stomped on by Applejack and Rarity, each looking down at her with mixed disgust and amusement.
Applejack laughed a little and looked at Rarity. "Ah can't believe we are finally getting rid of this hay brained freak! I've been waiting for this day for years!"
Rarity smiled back at her before lifting her body and shoving her weight back onto the damaged front hooves, another crack and another scream from the pegasus. "Oh yes, this is far overdue. This braindead feather-head should have been snuffed years ago."
Rainbow's bloodshot eyes were filled with tears. She pulled back her deformed hooves and shoved them over her ears, "it's not true! It's not true! You're lying! Why are you doing this? I love you all!" Blood specks and saliva flew from her maw as she screamed to the open air.
Fluttershy grabbed one of Rainbow's broken hooves and pulled it back to the ground. Pinkie grabbed the other and did the same, giggling in her typical Pinkie way. The cyan mare was now on her back with her wings splayed to the side. She couldn't believe she was being pinned down by the ponies she would have risked her life for, too weak to escape. And still somehow not wanting to hurt them despite what they had done to her.
So far Scootaloo had stayed near the back, watching with an unreadable expression. She pushed through the crowd and approached her mentor, and Rainbow felt a glimmer of hope. Her teary eyes looked hopefully at the filly she loved like a sister, and as she panted she managed to get a smile on her bloody face.
"Squirt! What's wrong with everyone? I know they... they can't hate me, right? Not all this time, after all we have been through..." The sentence was full of voice cracks and wheezing, breathing being incredibly painful for the damaged mare.
Scootaloo approached her side, and gave Rainbow a vengeful smile before rearing up and forcing all of her weight down on Dash's right wing. Rainbow squealed anew as her instrument of flight was damaged. The purple filly smooshed her hoof around the wing as spat at Rainbow Dash. "I used to look up to you, but you've become so annoying and full of yourself. The other crusaders are always reminding me of just how embarrassing it was when I basically worshipped you. I can't believe I ever thought you would be worth my praise." Scootaloo kept rearing up and slamming down, cracking and crumbling each bone within. She smothered her weight around the flat, sensitive surface, causing rips in tears in the flesh that bled and soaked her blue feathers.
Each new movement brought a new scream from Rainbow as she threw her head from side to side, trying to shake off her friends. She kicked her back legs wildly, but all that did was attract the attention of the other attendees.
Rainbow's dad slammed himself onto her back legs as she struggled, causing them to pop and crack. Bones disconnect from sinew and muscle as the assault went on and on. Applejack came up to her face and smashed her hoof into the poor mare's nose, eyes, and jaw over and over again. Crack after crack of broken bone ruining the pegasus's face and causing it to swell grotesquely.
Scootaloo let out a howl of triumph as Rainbow's wing tore from her back. A sickening tear disconnected the bones and flesh from her body and a river of blood followed it off.
Rainbow let out a weak, gravelly squeal as the mass of feathers and flesh ripped off and the nerves disconnected, never to feel her wing again.
Everyone in the room except for Rainbow let out a cheer, high hoofing and laughing with joy. Rainbow's wide red eyes focused on each of them as her weak body shook with pain and shock, her chest and stomach hot from internal bleeding. Her hooves were bent and bleeding, bone stuck out at the knee joints. Even if Rainbow were able to escape, she would never walk again.
But that wasn't the worst of it. Her shaky head turned to the side slowly to view her destroyed wing. The end that stuck to her back had bone sticking from it, and bone shards stuck through the skin all over. Pieces of skin and muscle splattered the floor around it, having been ripped from the wing as Scootaloo had danced on it.
The weak pegasus saw this and screamed again, as if all her energy had returned for one last wail of agony. She would never fly again either. She would be bed ridden, never to feel the wind in her face or the freedom of being high above the clouds. She wouldn't even have any visitors to spend the time with. Everyone hated her. Hated her so much that they were maiming her, destroying her, and laughing about it as they did so. She would be broken, bedridden and alone for the rest if her life.
Her tears returned anew as she squeezed her eyes shut and ground her few remaining teeth, "JUST KILL ME ALREADY! GET IT OVER WITH!" She wheezed in agony and anger as flecks of foam and blood sprayed from her nearly-toothless mouth. "GET ME OFF THIS PLANET! EVERYPONY HATES ME SO MUCH, JUST BUCKING KILL ME!"
Twilight smiled at the sight. One of the proudest mares she had ever know, reduced to a mushy pile of skin, blood, and broken bones. She was horribly discolored, much of her body ripe with purple bruises and broken blood vessels. She trembled in agony, her body refusing to pass out due to the adrenaline.
She was sobbing and screaming like a filly having a tantrum, every fiber of her being lit up in a fire of pain.
Rainbow's beautiful maroon eyes started to glaze over, and each wheezing breath was agony as her body tried to fight the insane blood loss. She cast her weak eyes over each pony who had aided in her suffering, a sad betrayed look graced each of them before finally landing on Twilight as Rainbow Dash took her last breath and fell still.
Dash's fear of being disliked was obvious to someone like Twilight. It was obvious in every trick she did, every word of self-gratification, the poor mare was incredibly self concious. She had always worried that ponies secretly disliked her, so the quick pegasus made up for that by making herself into someone that others would have to like.
But, in the blue mare's mind, she had failed. Rainbow Dash died believing that everyone she loved and cared for hated her. And Twilight figured that that had been far more painful that each and every broken bone.
Of course every word spoken to her tonight had been false. All thanks to a mind control spell that Twilight had cast on each of Dash's favorite ponies in the world.
The ponies she had gathered to beat the cyan pegasus to death stared at her with glazed over eyes and mouths wide open like zombies. With their task being complete, Twilight's mind control spell sent them back into a state of hypnosis, awaiting their next order.
Twilight spoke to those who weren't her next targets. The rest of the elements were going to stay here. "Return to your homes and forget tonight ever happened. End the mind control spell once you reach your bed."
They each responded with a creepy synchronized "Yes my Queen" before marching back out the magic door that reappeared on the wall.
The rest of the Element bearers sat waiting for their orders, unable to break the spell. Twilight wondered who should be next...
Spitfire smirked. She couldn't remember what happened last night, but she was sure they had both had fun.
Equestria's Corrupted Monarch
Rarity shot awake, panting and shaking in fear. Her front hooves supported her to sit up in the soft fluffy bed. Rarity's eyes shot around the room in fear, looking for any trace of the alicorn that had locked her and her friends up.
The room was dark, only a small candle on the nightstand next to the bed lit about a foot around it in all directions. The white unicorn flipped her hair back with her hoof as she exhaled in relief. It had been a nightmare.
She chuckled lightly to herself. Of course it was a nightmare! Twilight would never try to hurt them. The nerdy princess was one of her best friends, and far too sweet to hold any of the malice Rarity had dreamed her having.
Rarity's heart leapt into her throat and she jumped as a very quiet voice broke the silence, "Hey Rarity, how did you sleep?"
The fashionista's hair bobbed as she shot her head to look in the direction of the voice. Her heart pumped hard in her chest and she retreated to the far side of the large bed. The darkness was impenetrable though, the small candle doing nothing to show the speaker.
But the voice was easily recognizable, it was one Rarity had heard many times before.
"H-hey Twilight. Um, I slept well! Um, what are you... doing in my room darling?" Her voice sounded strained and overly-friendly. She lifted her blanket over herself like a filly protecting itself from the monster in her closet.
There wasn't a response for a moment, causing Rarity to sweat again, each moment of silence agonizing and terrifying. Her mind raced with fear, why wasn't Twilight speaking?
Finally, slow hoof steps started from farther in the room. Gradually growing louder and louder, before Rarity could see a purple hoof just barely within the light of the candle.
Rarity gulped staring down at the hoof, then up into the blackness of the room. "T-Twilight, you're scaring me dear, why are you being so quiet? Why are you in here watching me sleep?"
From the blackness came a glowing red magic, lightly lighting up the area around it, and Rarity screamed as Twilight's deranged eyes and demented smile were lit in red. The magic shot outwards and grabbed each of Rarity's limbs, lifting her out of the large bed.
The white unicorn struggled intensely against the alicorn's magic, thrashing her head and tail around and screaming as if being murdered right then and there.
Twilight groaned in annoyance and shoved a sock into Rarity's noisy mouth, muffling her squeals of fear.
The room spun as Rarity was tossed wildly into a hard wooden chair. She sat there dazed and dizzy for a moment, trying to take in what was happening as Twilight snapped the chairs metal shackles around each of her hooves, and one around her horn to hold her head in place. When the unicorn regained her composure, she squeezed her eyes closed and shook her head as much as she could, unable to voice her disapproval.
This part of the room was pitch black, the far away candle now useless. She darted her eyes around wildly trying to see anything she could. The hoof steps retreated deep into the room and then returned again. Rarity tried to speak, a quiet plead it sounded like. She moved her hooves around and the metal scratched painfully against her coat.
The red glow returned, and in its grasp appeared to be a syringe, Rarity noticed that it's contents appeared to be a deep green as it floated closer and closer to her. Her muffled scream returned and she thrashed harder in the chair, eyes never leaving the needle.
It stopped about half an inch from her right upper arm, before being plunged into the skin painfully. The cold thin metal broke through skin and muscle before finally touching the blood within. The plunger very slowly went down and the green liquid disappeared from the tank into her body.
Rarity hyperventilated and stared at the ceiling, not wanting to see the needle sticking out of her body. She squeaked as the metal was pulled back out quickly.
"There we are. Now that wasnt so bad was it Rarity?" The alicorn's voice sounded wrong, like the mocking of a parent soothing their scared child. Twilight didn't talk like this. She didnt DO this. What was happening? This wasn't Twilight.
The scared mare let out and 'mmph', another plead, a plead to be able to speak. Blood red magic gripped the sock in her mouth and yanked it free, leaving Rarity coughing for a moment and breathing hard as her airway was cleared.
"W-who are you? Why are you doing this?" The weak question came out.
The reply was instant, "Rarity you know who I am. I'm your good friend, Twilight! The Element of Magic, the princess of Equestria!"
The candle on the bedside table was slowly floated over in red magic, approaching the face of her attacker. The candles light slowly revealed her features. Twilight's purple fur was the first thing she saw, then came the brightening of her horn. But it was wrong, tinted black. Next were her eyes. They weren't just glowing red from the magic. They WERE red, a deep blood red like her magic. This was all that was lit by the small flame, and it was horrifying to the shaking unicorn. Like a floating evil face out of a horror movie.
The fat tears fell from Rarity's wide, terrified eyes as she took in the sight. This definitely wasn't Twilight. Something had stolen her mind, or maybe it was a changeling, or...
Her thoughts were interrupted as another needle poked into her leg and emptied its contents. She flinched and tensed up.
"Stop this, please stop! Tell me who you really are!" She shouted somehow sounding commanding.
Twilight drew the candle away from her face again, a small 'tsk tsk tsk' coming from her mouth. "Dont believe me? Well I guess that doesn't matter. I don't need you to believe me because I know that I am Twilight. And you, you are a pony in my way."
The unicorn looked at her arm as it began to tingle, and slowly a burning sensation took over.
"You and the rest of the elements can not be trusted in my plans for Equestria. You will all try to stop me, and I can't be having that. Its not my fault you can't see the genius of my plans."
Rarity's teeth ground together in pain, but Twilight was revealing her motives and she needed to know more. Maybe she could break through to her friend! "Twilight, we are your friends! We will support you whatever you do! We trust you and know that-" She grimaced as her leg started to burn as well, "-your judgment is good! Please, let us help you."
A small thoughtful 'hmm' emanated from the darkness, a flash of hope shone in Rarity's eyes.
Suddenly a pair of sharp scissors shot out of the dark right at Rarity's face. She screamed again and shut her eyes tight, but the scissors never made contact. She opened her eyes and saw them float above her head. Her stomach dropped as they opened and approached her perfect purple main.
"Twilight no please! I just had my mane done, please don't ruin it!" The first snip dropped a lock of shiny purple fur onto her lap. Rarity cringed, another tear rolling down her face. The burning on her arm and leg started to worsten and she had a hard time not groaning in pain.
Suddenly, she let out an ear piercing scream, her tongue flapping around from the force of her voice. The spot on her arm started to redden before melting fur and skin away, revealing raw muscle underneath. The unicorn became catatonic, no longer focusing on her precious mane.
She thrashed and screamed, hardly taking a breath before the next scream shot out. Her leg muscles tensed and twitched before reddening as well. A sizzling accompanied the melting flesh and a large section of Rarity's thigh was hollowed out by the acidic substance shot into her. Her muscles underneath twitched as cold air brushed against. Hot blood dripped around the edge of the wound onto the wood underneath her.
Twilight 'hmm'ed again, seemingly deaf to the horrible agonizing screams from the mare she was disfiguring. She spoke out loud as if Rarity would hear her, "interesting, the compound seems to affect the leg moreso than the arm. I wonder why that is..."
Realizing Twilight was talking, Rarity's eyes shot to the darkness where the alicorn's face was, her mouth dripping saliva as she screamed out, "WHY?! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? IT BURNS TWILIGHT! IT HURTS SO BA-A-AD!" The agonized pony sobbed the last word out before going slack and quietly crying, seemingly low on energy.
Twilight smiled, not that Rarity could see it, and continued her work on the unicorn's mane. She cut out large chunks of it without any method or care until it was just a few short, uneven tufts atop her head. Rarity continued to quietly sob, twitching and squealing every few seconds as a new draft of air brushed her exposed muscles. She clenched her teeth as a small tuft of fur fell right onto her thigh muscles and stuck to the sticky, sensitive flesh
Twilight stepped back to admire her work. It was good progress, but not nearly enough. She wanted Rarity to be disgusting, terrifying to look at. So she stepped back into the dark and used a night vision spell to look upon her supplies. She had a wide array of things to choose from. From potions to weapons to crazy looking tools, she chose a pair of pliers and reapproached the unicorn.
She frowned in annoyance as she noticed Rarity was breathing quietly, seemingly becoming accustom to the pain. That wouldn't do. Twilight's returning hoof steps caused Rarity to life her head again, her eyes were bloodshot and full of tears.
"Please, please, no more. It hurts. I won't try to stop you. I promise, just stop hurting me!" She panted.
Twilight floated the pliers to the fashion ponies mouth, "your word is not good enough Rarity, you are a very crafty liar. I've seen you interact with your customers."
Rarity opened her mouth to respond and Twilight shoved the pliers in, gripping a tooth. Rarity froze and looked down, a shuddering squeal sounded in her throat.
Twilight didn't give her time to think, she gripped the tooth hard and yanked. Rarity's screams renewed as her head was wrenched forward, the tooth's roots holding on for dear life. Twilight yanked again and again, the roots slowly loosening and a crunchy crack signaled that the tooth had popped free. Rarity shivered hard as blood pooled in her mouth and down her chin onto her chest, staining the loose tufts of hair from her mane red.
Rarity seemed to lose it in that moment, just loudly yelling "NO NO NO" over and over while thrashing her head which was still held in place by the horn shackle. Blood splattered out of her mouth and onto Twilight's fur as she continued to yell.
Twilight continued on, pulling out a tooth, then skipping over a tooth, then pulling the next tooth, leaving her with large gaps between teeth and causing large amounts of blood-saliva mixture to roll out of the unicorn's mouth and cover her chest and lap with the red sticky liquid. Each yank caused a short scream from Rarity, before she was silent again.
When Twilight was done with this task, she took another look at her master piece, still not feeling pleased. The unicorns mouth hung open and her limbs hung limply, clearly tired from all the pain and struggling.
The alicorn set the blood-splattered pliers aside and floated up four more syringes. She liked the effect they left on the ponies poor flesh, so she shot four more into her. One on her flank, one on her lower left front hoof, one on her neck, and one on her cheek. Within minutes, four more disgusting, bloody holes appeared revealing muscle, sinew, and bone beneath.
The one on her cheek sizzled straight through to show her teeth behind them. It was a large hole, edged by blood and small chunks of cheek flesh that hung off loosely. At this point Rarity only had weak squeals in her, and her tears had finally dried.
The shot on her neck went deeper than Twilight expected, cutting through her windpipe and causing a harsh gasp from Rarity as a chunk of her windpipe disintegrated and she lost her ability to breath. The hole filled with blood and the muscle underneath contracted as the unicorn tried to get air and just breathed sticky blood into her lungs.
Twilight admired the sight for a moment before lighting up her horn and stitching the wound just enough that she didn't bleed out and could get oxygen once more. Rarity's energy seemed to return after the terrifying brush with death, a new dose of adrenaline shot through her.
The other two shots reacted similarly to the first two, leaving large, gaping, hollowed out wounds that disfigured her round body.
As Rarity gasped and screamed, Twilight retrieved a large bucket from the table, it's contents a similar color as the contents of the shot. She didnt even give Rarity a warning before dumping the bucket on one half of her face.
The liquid immediately melted the fur and flesh from her face. It didn't burn through the flesh, but left it red, patchy, and naked of fur. The unicorn's eye popped like a grale and the goo oozed down her face and chest. Her flesh sloffed, the skin of her eyebrow lost the ability to hold up, drooping to cover her melted eye. Her cheek likewise sloffed down, making it look saggy and gross. That whole half of her face was naked and red down to her lower neck.
Twilight smiled as she realized that the once beautiful unicorn mare now resembled the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Twilight sighed happily, her master piece was almost complete! Just one more touch.
The alicorn went back to her table and retrieved a sharp cleaver. Rarity didn't even react to the hoof steps returning just breathing loudly and staring at the floor in horror.
Twilight raised her eye brows in surprise as the unicorn spoke, it was quiet but clear. "Pl-please. Dont... don't kill me. I'll help. I'll do... whatever you want. I dont... I dont want to die..."
Twilight saw her choke on a sob and lift her head, her one good eye plead genuinely. Twilight was impressed. Rainbow had broken and asked to be killed quickly, but Rarity was begging to be kept alive. Even after being disfigured, in immense pain, and permanently unrecognizable.
Twilight stopped for a moment and thought. No fake 'hmm' accompanied this, she was actually considering the words this mare spoke.
After a few moments of silence only broken by Rarity's wheezing breaths, Twilight set the cleaver down. She walked behind Rarity and slid something in front of the mare. Rarity didn't react. The alicorn lit the room up for the first time since Rarity had awoken hours ago.
Rarity slowly opened her one good eye, squinting against the harsh light. Her jaw dropped and her body went cold. She was looking in a mirror. A horrible beast sat in front of her, shackled, burned, and bloody. She couldn't take her eye off the sight. The monstrosity blinked in time with her, it's head turned when hers did. She let out a harsh sob as she drank in her reflection. Horrifying, awful, disgusting.
Twilight put a hoof on the edge of the mirror and looked into Rarity's eye. Rarity looked at the merciless alicorn, noticing her blackened hair ends and her dark menacing coat.
"Still full of generosity, even after this. My my, you are an impressive one." Twilight spoke with genuine surprise and respect. Her horn glowed and Rarity clenched her eyes shut, preparing for another assault. But it never came.
She felt very slight physical relief as some of her wounds were stitched shut. Only enough for her to be able to walk and to not bleed out. She gave the alicorn a confused look.
"Now that you know what I can and will do... you know the kinds of horrors I will ask of you. Tell me Rarity, do you really intend on being loyal to a pony like me? Is your desire to live greater than your morals?"
Rarity looked down at her lap, bloody, covered in her mane and shards of tooth, and missing large chunks of flesh. She hesitated, then gently nodded her head.
"I... don't want to die. I don't want to... die..." she repeated the five words a few more times, her dangling sloffing cheek making her words sound airy. Her melted hole of a cheek adding a whistle to her words. Even her voice wasn't recognizable. She truly was a horrible, disgusting beast.
Twilight gave her a smile and popped her shackles off with magic. The unicorn ragdolled forward and landed face first on the bloody floor beneath her. Her sobbing returned, but it was tinged with relief.
Twilight thought her friend's worst fear had been becoming ugly, but it turns out it was actually death.
And the best way to torture this mare, was to keep her alive, and to control her with the constant threat of death.
Twilight floated the beast off the floor and carried her limp form behind her as she left the room. "From today forward, your new name is Beast. And you shall do what I say, or perish painfully by my hoof."
Equestria's Corrupted Monarch
Tears melted down the ponies face. Her purple hooves were shackled to the deep black ground. She pulled painfully at them, knowing that it was in vain. She had been trying to free herself for five days now. And her will to keep trying was slowly fading as she witnessed what her body was being forced to do.
Twilight watched from the gray-skied pocket dimension as Marlamew mercilessly slaughtered one of her best friends and fellow Elements with her own hooves and magic. Her voice was hoarse from all the screaming and pleading, begging the demon controlling her to stop.
If she could have vomited here, she would have been covered in it. Her stomach churned with disgust and horror.
The next victim was Rarity, and Twilight once again sobbed plees for the one controlling her to not continue hurting her beautiful, generous friend. Her hooves were raw and furless around the shackles from her struggles to escape them.
By the time her possessed body had finished its work and disfigured another one of her friends beyond recognition, the once mighty alicorn was a sniveling drooling heap on the ground. She felt guilty, angry at herself for being so careless. Angry at herself for not being able to fight it. Her friends were suffering and she was sure it was only going to get worse. And worst of all, Rarity had joined the demons efforts in fear of ddying. Twilight sobbed for her friend, she knew that the demon would ask terrible things of her. Far beyond what she would be capable of. "I'm so sorry... I've failed you all..."
There was agonizing silence, only Twilight's quiet sobbing broke through the black and gray pocket dimension. Then a voice, familiar and terrifying.
"How are you enjoying the show, princess?" The demons voice sounded from everywhere at once and Twilight shoved her head into her hooves. Her only response was more sobbing.
"I think you know what comes next. Do you really want to continue to watch this happen? You know you can't stop it." The black ground started to bubble and Marlamew's horrifying shape rose from the ground. He approached the sniveling mare. "Join souls with me princess. You can enjoy the work that we are doing. Why let yourself suffer when you can feel the thrill of the hunt?"
Twilight lifted her head and gave Marlamew a piercing look. Her red eyes showed grief, anger, malice, all of the things she had never shown before. If looks could kill, then she would have been free of the demon in that moment. "BUCK YOU! THIS IS MY KINGDOM, MY PONIES! YOU SICK MONSTER! Release me at once or suffer my wrath!"
She snarled and lashed her bleeding hoof out. She lowered her horn once again and shot a small fizzle of red magic. Then another. Then another. So lost in her anger that she didn't care that her magic didn't work here. She just wanted to do anything she could to get her revenge.
The demon of tar simply smirked at her efforts, then turned away and shrugged, "you'll come around. You can't keep watching this carnage and keep your sanity too. You ponies are so fragile to violence."
And with that, Marlamew disappeared back into the depths of the tar like ground, leaving the poor princess alone once more to sob into the silence of her own personal hell.
No pony knew what she was doing, the maiming and murdering that had occupied her free time. She had to keep up appearances for now, pretending to be the wise and loving princess that the country knew her to be. The black that tainted her mane and horn didn't show while she was in the public, likewise her cutie mark looked normal and her eyes were their usual purple. That look was reserved for playtime.
As the alicorn walked the halls, one of her assistants came racing towards her, a look of concern in her eyes. She had a light gray coat, with a matching mane save for one maroon streak through it. Her hair was done up in a large bun and her green eyes had bags under them as if she hadn't slept that night.
She was panting as she approached the princess and bowed. "Princess... we got a report... the elements... They're missing! No pony has seen them in five days!"
Twilight faked a look of shock, her mouth lightly hanging open at the news. Her heart was filled with adrenaline and excitement. This was perfect.
The regal alicorn looked her assistant in the eye, "Cinder Stamp, contact the local police and let them know. Have someone get in touch with Ponyville as well, see if they have returned home without warning."
The pony saluted to her princess at once and raced off down the hall and around the corner. Twilight let a small smirk grace her face. She had a plan to explain the disappearances. And Rarity- or Beast- would help her.
Once she finished the Day Court, the regal and wise Twilight trotted down the halls and back to her room. She seemed so busy all the time to her guards and assistants. They admired her hard work and leadership, just as hard working as Celestia had been. They never questioned the decision of Celestia to make her the soul ruler of the nation. Every pony knew that the purple mare was incredibly smart and caring. She would make a great ruler.
Over the past few days she seemed to grow more and more confident, it was relieving for the members of the Royal Court to see. Their princess was finally becoming confident in her work! Her studies must have gone well! They all had their own excuses for how Twilight had suddenly become so relaxed and able to rule.
The guards knew that the time of day after Day Court was for Twilight to be alone. They saw the Royal princess approaching her chambers after the long day of tending to nobles, and bowed low. Twilight smiled to them thankfully and entered her bedroom. The guards continued to sit outside her bedroom, loyally guarding their ruler. Their orders were to not enter her room or risk termination of their jobs.
But what they didn't know was that the tyrannical mare was disappearing far below the castle to torture and kill her friends.
It was finally that time of day again. Twilight cast her purple magic, which slowly faded to red as she switched her form. The black ends of her hair and horn poofed into existence with a sizzle and her eyes blinked once and became red. Her cutie mark likewise shifted to reflect the nature of her form.
She cast the red magic and teleported out of her room, down into the dank depths of the castle to the long forgotten cobble prison beneath. She blinked her eyes to get use to the darkness of the foul smelling and dark area. The cold stone beneath her hooves clanked loudly with each step and before long she could hear sobbing.
She drank in the sound as she approached the cell where the noise came from. The cell which held Beast. The more disfigured mare yowled in pain and humiliation. The purple mare chuckled as she realized that her old friend probably hadn't stopped crying since she dumped the poor unicorn in the gross room.
As she approached, Beast's yowls lowered to a sniffle, hoping not to draw the attention of the cruel ruler. But it was too late. Twilight had plans for the mare and she wouldn't get out of it by being quiet.
Twilight approached the cell with a friendly smile, looking much like her old self despite the demonic color changes. Beast looked slowly up at her from the back corner of her small cell.
The cell held a bucket for doing business, and a thin uncomfortable blanket for sleeping. There was a dim torch which allowed the unfortunate mare to witness the cracked and molding stone that surrounded her, as well as a full body mirror right under it, so she could see the disgusting creature she had become.
It had been a day since Twilight had visited her, her lips cracked and parched from lack of water. She looked anxiously at her ruler, knowing that something would happen to her today. Twilight guessed that she was afraid that the alicorn had changed her mind and decided to end her life.
But Twilight simply opened the cell with her corrupted magic and stared at the former fashionista, who stared back in uncomfortable fear.
"Today will be a fun day, Beast! Are you ready to help your princess as you promised?" The alicorn could hardly hold back her demented smile.
Beast looked down at the ground, her eye glazed over. She was debating with herself. Was it worth it? Could she do what she had promised. She gulped deep, the exposed muscle of her disfigured throat twitching with the action, and she nodded shakily. "C-can I just ask..." her droopy and cut up cheeks made her speech strange and almost unrecognizable, "why are you hurting us? If... if we are really a threat to your... 'plans'... then why not just kill us?"
Twilight hummed in satisfaction, she had been waiting for that question. "I have been good and caring for so long. I've always wondered what it would be like to let loose and do horrible things." The real Twilight inside of this possessed form found herself unable to completely disagree with this. "It's something subconsciously that we all feel. We all fantasize about the limits of power in some way or another. And I just happen to be in a position to be able to test those limits."
Beast stared at her tiredly. "But Equestria... without the elements it's in danger..."
Twilight rolled her eyes and scoffed. "I am the most powerful creature in the world! I've been through enough crazy monster fights. If I can handle Tirek, then I think I can handle anything" She sounded so confident. It made Rarity shiver. "Besides, Rainbow Dash is already gone so it's too late now to think about that!"
The scarred mare shot her eye to Twilight in shock, her pupil shrunk in fear. "Rainbow? You killed her??" She choked out with her destended cheek flapping. She shook and stepped further back from the alicorn before her. "No no no you... you wouldn't... I won't believe it..." for the first time, anger entered the normally posh mare's eyes and she glared at Twilight. "You aren't my friend. You aren't Twilight. You're some kind of monster. A changeling, a shapeshifter, a body-snatcher!"
Marlamew within Twilight barely held his surprised expression, she had guessed it very quickly. But he wasn't going to give her the pleasure of an answer. He wanted her to believe that he was the princess Twilight Sparkle. Meanwhile the real Twilight within Marlamew's dimension gasped in surprised happiness. Yes! Rarity was so smart! She was ecstatic that her friend still believed in her.
Twilight's possessed body approached the scared mare, eyes burning with rage. "You will pay for questioning me. And for speaking out of turn. You are MINE and I get to decide when you speak." She growled in a very unnatural way. Rarity shakily stared into her eyes and gulped in fear.
"I think it's time... that you finally give my assistant what he deserves." She smiled maliciously at Rarity. She raised her horn and channeled a spell into Rarity. It was an illusion spell, it made her look as she had before Twilight had disfigured her. Rarity gasped and touched her hooves to her face, shocked. This certainly did not seem like a punishment...
Rarity looked at her uncertainly, not knowing what she meant. Twilight lit her horn bright and suddenly, a bright circle of light appeared next to her.
It disappeared as quickly as it came, and as it faded, Rarity saw that it had been a teleportation. Spike sat on the cold stone outside her cell, looking around confused and startled.
Twilight smiled as they made eye contact. If Rarity looked like the disfigured monster that Twilight had turned her into, Spike would have been much less willing to cooperate.
As Rarity opened her mouth to warn Spike, Twilight covered him in a very slight corruption spell. Seeing the disfigurement may have been too much for the little dragon and may have lead to his rebellion, but what she was about to allow him to do would be perfect for the spell to twist his morals.
Rarity shouted at the dragon, "Spike! Twilight has gone crazy! She's murdering her friends and she's going to kill you! Run while you can!" The meek unicorn showed her bravery as she approached the alicorn and lowered her weak, useless horn, prepared to distract her for the baby dragon to escape.
But Spike didn't move. He sat there blinking in confusion, head snapping from Twilight to Rarity. "Uh... what's going on?" Already the spell seemed to be doing its work. Regular Spike would have ran in terror at those words from his unicorn crush.
Twilight walked up to Spike with a comforting smile. "Rarity here was just telling me how much she wanted you. She won't stop talking about how sexy you are, and so I thought I'd bring you here for her to tell you herself!" Twilight put a hoof to her lips and giggled, "But I guess she got a bit shy! What a crazy excuse, Rarity!"
Spike's eyes widened as he turned his head to the unicorn. She had... lusted after him? This was a dream come true to him. "R-Rarity, you... you really think that?"
Rarity's mouth hung in shock, "No Spike! She's killed Rainbow and she nearly killed me! Don't listen to her!"
Spike turned back to Twilight, confused. Twilight giggled some more and put her hoof around Spike, "she's playing hard to get! Trust me I know what I heard. And between you and me..." she leaned into Spike's ear and whispered, "she's probably embarrassed because she's into rape-play! I've seen her do this before, she loves pretending to be scared!"
Spike didn't need anymore convincing, the spell that covered him pushed him to believe it without even asking Rarity about it or questioning it. He had wanted this for so long, Twilight suspected that the spell may not have even been necessary.
He licked his lips with his long forked tongue and stood up. His eyes made him look entranced, tunnel visioned on the mare he had lusted over for years. He approached her curiously and she stepped back. "Spike what are you doing? Don't you hear what I'm saying?"
Spike approached her and smiled, grabbing her white horn in his purple claws. "Oh dont pretend you don't want it. I heard what Twilight said."
Rarity yanked her head back but wasn't strong enough to escape the dragons hardy grip. "Spike stop this at once! You are hurting me!"
Spike's eyes glowed with power, "Good. A slut like you deserves it." The words seemed to come out without him even realizing it.
He yanked her horn and flipped her onto her back, and as she hit the solid stone ground, he climbed atop her and held her hooves down.
Rarity grunted in pain and annoyance. "Spike, I don't want to do this, but if you don't get off of me I will use my magic against you! I don't want to hurt you!"
Rarity must have forgotten that the purple alicorn was watching this close by, because as she said that, a magic-stopping horn brace latched itself over her horn.
Spike moaned a bit as he watched it latch closed. "You're helpless now, aren't you Rarity? You couldn't stop me even if you tried..." he seemed completely unfazed at his adoptive mother watching from outside the cell. Her purple pussy started to glisten with arousal. She never thought watching one of her best friends being assaulted would be so... exciting.
Rarity looked pleadingly into Spike's eyes, knowing that this was her last hope at getting to him before be used her body. "Spike... please I don't know what she told you, but I don't want this! We didn't establish a safe word! That should be proof enough that I don't consent to this!"
Spike stared into her terrified eyes and drooled a bit. "You know what? I don't even care if Twilight was lying about you being rape-bait. I'm going to have your pretty pussy and I'm going to love it." He leaned forward and forced her into a kiss, shoving his long forked tongue into her unwilling mouth, moaning as she screamed into his mouth.
Twilight raised her eyebrows in pleasant shock. This was going way better than she had hoped! The little thing must have been so pent up for so long. She was happy to finally give him his wish. He was a dragon after all, this was probably how dragons naturally mated, through overpowering and forcing their mate into it. She licked her lips thinking about it.
The Twilight that was trapped within her own head being forced to watch blushed shamefully as she witnessed the display. Her cunt deceiving her as juices started to seep from it. She had to admit it was a little bit hot to watch Rarity panic and try to talk her way out of a rape.
She shook her head in rage. No! She hated this! Her friend was being hurt! So... why did it make her so horny...?
Marlamew let out a cackle as he felt her depraved, shameful emotions rush through him. He knew that the seemingly perfect pony had her own dark secrets.
Meanwhile Spike had begun lowering his claws to rub at Rarity's dry slit and she struggled against the enhanced strength of the dragon atop her. He didn't let up on the kiss and she kept grunting and screaming trying to disconnect it. His duel-shaft hardened as she struggled.
"Oh Rarity, you know just how to get me going." He disconnected the kiss with a string of saliva between them and sighed. Twilight approached and used her magic to hold Rarity's hooves down. Spike didn't even seem to notice that her magic was red instead of its normal purple. He smiled gratefully at her and put his attention back where it mattered.
Now that he didnt have to worry about holding her down, he kissed his way down her body starting at her neck. He was savoring the experience, finally living out his true fantasy. Sure he had always wanted her, but what he never told anypony was that he wanted to overpower her just like this and force her to take his dicks. And now Twilight, the ruler of the nation, was giving him a free-pass to do just that.
Rarity shut her eyes and struggled against the magic, her struggles becoming more powerful as Spike approached her mare-parts. He took a large whif of the pussy he had craved for so long, and stuck his tongue deep into it. He flicked it around, tasting her fleshy tunnel. His reptilian eyes widened as it bumped something within her tunnel and he pulled his tongue back. "You're... a virgin?"
The news came as a shock to Twilight too. She figured Rarity had been a raging slut and that was how her business had done so well. Maybe she was just a very good and charismatic liar.
Spike groaned and rubbed his shafts against her stomach. "This is more than I could have ever imagined... I get to steal your virginity too!" Twilight smiled at his enthusiasm.
The white unicorn was starting to hyperventilate, "Please. Please Spike, I'm begging you, don't do this! I'm saving myself for marriage! This is so important to me!" She seemed to forget just how close she had gotten to death two days ago, and to think she almost died a virgin!
Spike nipped at her neck painfully, seemingly marking his territory. "Ya beg more bitch. Beg for me not to fuck you."
She sobbed outright, "PLEASE SPIKE PLEASE! IM YOUR FRIEND! PLEASE FIGHT THE SPELL TWILIGHT PUT ON YOU!" Spike snorted out a laugh at her words.
"You think this is the work for a spell? I've dreamed of this moment from the moment I saw you! Maybe she does have a spell on me, but it's definitely not what's making me do this. This is all me."
Tears fell from the white unicorn's eyes as she fully realized it was futile. His words were true and there was no way to get out of this.
Spike licked his lips at her distraught expression and pressed his top dick against her virgin hole. She tensed and let out one more sob before he sunk his draconic meat into her hot tunnel. He moaned out in bliss as her vagina enveloped his twitching tool. Her unwilling vagina squeezed his average-sized dicks as he pressed deeply into her, not taking time to let her adjust. She was just his tool to get off.
He moaned hard as he felt her virginity tear and rip, want blood flowing from her hole and down his stomach. She screamed in pain as her virginity was roughly and painfully stolen. He drooled onto her stomach and gripped her asscheeks. His sharp claws sank into her soft flesh, drawing out blood as she squeaked at the unexpected pain. He slowly slid her off his hard dick, before pulling her back hard towards him quickly, slapping his stomach against hers.
He quickly and roughly fucked her, drinking in her screams and sobs. His soaked fuckstick twitched in pleasure, the veins pulsating inside of her tight tunnel. His other dick flopped wildly outside of her.
He moaned loudly as he grabbed his other dick, pulled out with a 'shlurp', and shoved his second dry dick in with the first. The blood and his own precum quickly lubed up his second dick as it stretched the mare painfully, easily doubling the size of a normal dick and causing her pussy to tear and bleed. Her stomach buldged with each thrust. Specks of saliva flew from her mouth as she cried and screamed in pain and embarrassment.
Twilight could feel Spike was about to go off, he was a hair trigger since it was his first time, but she was happy she could give him his fantasy as his first experience with sex. He tightened his body and clenched his eyes shut as he let out a strong moan and shot his loads inside her. He pumped his dragon cum into her now-loose snatch.
He didn't stop pumping for a minute after his orgasm, packing his spunk deep into her cervix and slapping her plump ass as he did so. Finally, he slowly pulled his shafts out and she gasped as the cum backflowed back out, tinged red with her virginity. Her hole twitched in pain, and Twilight released her arms knowing she would be too weak and broken to resist now.
She immediately shut her legs and curled into a ball, sobbing without any tears, long since having lost all the water to create tears.
Spike stood up shakily, his dicks slowly going limp and retreating. He wiped off the cum, blood, and vaginal juices as he panted. "W-wow, that was amazing! Thanks Twilight!" For the first time he seemed to look at her in confusion "wait, why did you let me do that? Isn't Rarity one of your best friends?"
Twilight smiled as her horn shown again and she released the illusion spell on Rarity. Her muscle exposed, sagging body was now visible to the little dragon. He cringed back as he viewed her disgustingly misshapen body.
"I've had a change of heart... and I want to rule over ponies a different way. With fear and pain."
Spike stared at Rarity's shaking form in shock for a few moments before licking his lips. "C-can I join you?" He whispered uncertainly. "Ive... always dreamed of this if I'm being honest. My dragon instincts are always telling me to maim and rape ponies but I've never done so before now, and I've never felt more like a dragon than I do right now!"
Twilight looked at her adopted son with pride, a single tear forming in her eye. "I'd be honored if you joined me! Oh Spike, we are going to change ponies lives!"

Equestria's Corrupted Monarch
Applejack dooms her family pt.1
It had now been a week since the mane 6 were considered missing and terror had swept the country. Without the elements, the ponies knew that Equestria was open to attacks. Their poor princess Twilight Sparkle addressed her subjects, tears in her eyes and pain in her voice, putting their fears to rest.
The beautiful and strong alicorn told her ponies that she would keep them safe, she would trample any threat that befell them. And she would make sure the missing ponies were brought back safely. Her ponies cheered, their hearts full of pity in their princess losing her best of friends,and pride at her strength in this hard time.
Twilight concluded her speech with a wave and returned to the castle. Her guards led her back to her room, she looked tired from all the emotion. Her guards were thinking that she would learn to hide that as well as Celestia had learned to in the coming decades of her rule.
But they didn't know it was all an act, a very well done act. The guards bowed and left her to be alone in her chambers, she gave them one last tired smile as the door closed.
As soon as her noise dampening spell surrounded the room, she let out a vicious cackle. "Oh this is just too easy! Those poor saps will believe anything if someone they look up to says it to them."
She once again lit her body in red and vanished below the castle into the dungeon.
She reappeared in a dimly lit room much like the one she had destroyed Rainbow Dash in. Within it was Applejack, laying passed out on the floor. Twilight smirked at she let her magic bathe the orange pony, giving her all her memories of what she had done to her favorite blue pegasus while under mind control. She retreated to a dark corner of the room and waited.
It was about fifteen minutes until the earth pony awoke, blinking painful sleep from her eyes. As she awoke, her confused eyes grew in size as her memory returned to her. She stumbled to her hooves and started to dart her eyes around the room.
Twilight heard her start to sob quietly and saw her eyes fill with tears. She sat down hard and ran her hooves over her face, trying to wipe the bad memory from her head like it was a nightmare.
Twilight didn't move from her spot in the dark corner. "You loved her, didn't you?" She spoke simply and quietly.
Applejack's head shot in the direction of her voice, her body standing in defense. She was panting and looked like she was on the edge of a breakdown, even before Twilight had started.
"Stop. Just stop. You've done your damage, you've used me enough. Oh Celestia... I'm so sorry Rainbow..." she collapsed and started sobbing into her hooves.
Twilight slowly trotted up to the broken pony, Applejack didnt even flinch as she approached. She was wiping tears from her eyes, and each new fresh memory of what had happened to her friend caused a new sob to wrack her body.
Twilight laid a hoof on Applejack's shoulder, a signal of comfort. Applejack looked up, her eyes wet with tears and her nose leaking mucus.
"You loved her like you've never loved another pony. You wanted to be with her..." Twilight trailed off as she spoke. But to Applejack's surprise, the alicorn started to giggle. She snorted and her giggle became a full blown laugh, mocking AJ's ears and causing a fresh sob to go through her.
"I didn't even realize until now! You're a lesbian! What a turn of events. I forced you to kill your one and only love without even realizing it." The purple pony shut her eyes as they filled with amused tears to join her cacophonous laugh. To AJ, it was the sound of pure evil. "Well this isn't as fun as I thought it'd be! I was hoping it'd take more to get tears out of the strong Applejack."
AJ shoved her hooves to the ground in a loud clank, almost startling Twilight. "Why? What did we ever do to you? We have only ever loved you Twi! We haven't done anything to deserve this! Rainbow especially..." her voice quieted as the last two words we spoken.
Twilight smirked at her captive, "I've already had to say this several times and I doubt it'll stop here. I do this because I can. I am the ultimate pony, the ultimate power, and I want to see what I can do. I want to live out my fantasies. And that includes killing you girls," She approached AJ and got muzzle to muzzle with her, "in the most agonizing ways possible."
AJ simply stared at her with wide, confused eyes. She didnt even seeming scared at this point, just completely baffled. "This isn't you... this isn't you at all Twi. Wake up! You're dooming the nation, and yourself! What will you have without us? What will the ponies think?"
The real Twilight within this demon-possessed body screamed her agreement, thrashing especially hard against her bindings. She screamed and yelled as tears filled her eyes once again, trying to tell her friend that this really wasn't her, that she didn't want this, but her body stayed silent, not giving it away.
Twilight smirked, listening to both AJ's pleas and the real Twilight scream and cry, drinking in the negative emotions. "The ponies won't know. At least for now. I have a special plan to push the blame elsewhere."
Applejack stood with her mouth opened, trying to figure out what to say to save her own life. But nothing came out. It seemed like Twilight was really going to do this. The orange earth pony sat down with a thump and dust flew from under her plot.
"When... when did you start to feel like this? When did we become your toys and stop being your friends?" Applejack sounded like she didn't really want to know, but needed to for her own sanity.
Twilight ignored her question and approached a corner of the room bathed in blackness, completely invisible to the orange pony. Her red magic lit up and picked up something.
Applejack's head raised slightly in curiosity, then her jaw dropped in utter horror as she saw what the magic held. It was her sister and brother, Applebloom and Big Macintosh.
They writhed within their rope bindings and screamed around the cloth stuffed in their muzzles. Big Mac huffed angrily, showing more emotion than Twilight had ever seen. She was happy to see that the emotion he showed was pure raw anger.
Applejack's slack-jaw stare kept on her two beloved siblings as Twilight dropped them to the ground like two sacks of potatoes.
Applejack immediately raced to their side, only to be heald aloft by the powerful alicorn's magic. That didn't stop her from thrashing and fighting. "Let them go! It's me you want to hurt and you've got me. Don't you dare lay a hoof on them."
Big Mac and Applebloom stared in shocked confusion at the alicorn and earth pony before them.
Twilight smiled and brought Applejack to the far side of the room so she couldn't untie her siblings. Then used her magic to form heavy shackles that held her hooves to the ground. She made sure Applejack could see what was happening but not interfere.
"Oh but Applejack, I don't just want to hurt you. I want to break you, mentally and physically. Knowing that you helped kill Rainbow is a start-" She heard both Applebloom and Big Mac shout around their gags at the mention of Rainbow Dash's death, she ignored them for now, "-but I want more from you. I want to see you a blubbering, miserable mess."
Applejack seethed, clenching her teeth and yanking at her chains as hard as she could. "This is insanity! You wouldn't!" She kept exclaiming similar statements, much to Twilight's annoyance.
The purple pony turned towards her bound captives and undid their gags. They both immediately started screaming for help, Applebloom's high pitch voice grating Twilight's ears. She pinched both their mouths shut with magic and creased her brow, piercing them both with her eyes.
She turned towards the dark corner she had pulled the siblings from and retrieved something large and metallic. It clanged around as Twilight brought it out into the torch light.
Applejack screamed anew as she saw the instrument. It was a medieval torture device, one Twilight was surprised to come across in this long forgotten dungeon. Celestia must have gotten up to some torture of her own back in the day.
It was a full sized cast iron bull that was hollow on the inside. It had one door in, and a small hole in the mouth. Twilight placed a large amount if kindling underneath it.
Twilight raised an eyebrow at Applejack's reaction. "So you've heard of the Brazen Bull? I wonder how that information found its way to you. Even I didn't know of this thing until just recently."
Applejack continued to spew angry words and tears from her eyes. "Tartarus, Twilight! This is messed up! How could you even think of doing this to your own ponies? This is torture!"
Twilight smiled at her captive's fear and anger, lifting the two bound ponies into the air. "Choose Applejack. Applebloom or Big Macintosh?"
Applejack stared between her siblings with slight confusion, panting heavily in rage. As the realization of what Twilight was asking her hit her, she growled. "I ain't choosing one to go in there! Buck you and your sick game!"
Twilight expected that. She knew how to make the poor pony decide. "You decide who goes in the bull, and I'll make the other one suffer less. If you don't decide, they both go in one at a time and you get to hear their screams as they're boiled alive."
The floating earth ponies were sobbing violently at this point, finally realizing what the mechanism was for and hearing their princess speak of their own horrifying deaths. Neither could speak as Twilight's magic still heald their muzzles shut.
Applejack gave Twilight a long look, sweat dripping down her face. Her groans of impatience and hopelessness grew as she realized this was really happening. She shook her blonde mane back and forth, pleading Twilight to reconsider, completely out of convincing words.
Twilight only stared back at her, calm and confident. It took nearly five minutes before Applejack saw she wouldn't get through to the alicorn and knew she had to choose one of her siblings to suffer horribly for the other to get off easier. She clenched her teary eyes shut and hung her head in defeat.
"Big Mac." She spoke quietly, turning her head away. The large red stallion immediately started screaming, his shut mouth muffling it somewhat. He thrashed even harder as Applejack chose his fate.
Twilight patted Applejack on her dejected head, "very good! Alright let's have ourselves some boiled apple!"
The side of the bull swung open and the bound stallion was placed inside, Twilight let his mouth free of her magic. Applejack screamed out, "I'M SORRY MAC!" As the flap of metal shut behind him, and Twilight melded the flap shut for good measure. She knew how strong Big Mac was from experience.
Applejack sobbed anew and flopped onto the ground as she saw her brother for the last time, the fire having been lit under the bull.
For a few minutes all that filled the room was quiet sobbing, before suddenly, the sounds of panicked breathing and then yelling started to escape the narrow hole in the bulls mouth. Clanging hoof steps could be heard as the bull rocked slightly, almost falling before Twilight grabbed it in her magic and melded its brass hooves to the ground as well.
The fire grew in size below the bull, becoming the size of the entire underbelly. It crackled hungrily and the bottom of the bull started to glow red hot. The yelling turned to screaming and the clanging grew louder as the pony withing banged on the side of it desperate to escape. Applejack screamed atop her brothers scream as she heard his flesh start to sizzle, unable to take her eyes off the evil device.
Within the bull, Big mac's hooves sorted to crack and melt before they were too painful to even stand on. His legs gave flopped onto his stomach, an agonizing wail erupting as the hot metal torched his soft underbelly and clung to the skin as it charred. His stomach boiled from the inside out and his organs burst within his body, before finally his underbelly burst and his fried organs drained out to be charred on the hot metal.
His screams started to wane to pathetic wheezing and wailing as he let his head fall in exhaustion. His face clung to the metal and ripped skin from his neck and cheek, exposing the muscle underneath to the blazing heat and popping his eye with a particularly violent sizzle.
He lay there stuck to the boiling metal, panting heavily from pain, blood loss, and fear. Finally it seemed his body gave out, all of his organs too ruined to continue giving him life.
It was an agonizing fifteen minutes before Twilight could feel the life force drain from the red pony. Only the sound of Applejack's crying and the sizzling and popping of flesh could be heard as new organs burst and released their contents onto the cooking surface.
Twilight breathed in heavily, the delicious smell tempting her towards the bull. She killed the fire with her magic and then unwelded the metal door of the bull, opening it with a creak. Immediately a woosh of steam and smoke escaped the hatch and fogged up the room. The delicious smell of cooked pony filled the room, causing Applejack to heave and release the last thing she ate, which in this dungeon had been hay and daffodils.
Twilight 'mmm'ed and used her magic to rip a piece of flesh off of the dark charred pony. She held it up to her muzzle and then took a bite. The scrumptious, savory taste of pony caused the alicorn to drool.
Applejack screamed a battle call and yanked on her chains once more. "YOU'RE SICK! YOU TWISTED MONSTER! ILL KILL YOU!" but her threat was in vain as the chains didn't so much as creak at her efforts.
Twilight chewed thoughtfully as Applejack cursed her name, then shoved a piece of cooked Big Mac into her mouth and forced her mouth shut. The orange pony immediately pawed at her muzzle trying to rip it back open and expell the foul chunk.
The piece finally went down and Twilight released her muzzle. Applejack gagged and flopped back to the ground, sobbing without tears in her eyes, too dehydrated to form them.
Twilight continued to chew as she lit her horn up and made the bull disapear. Big mac's defiled corpse hit the ground with a splat, squirting blood around it. Some of it landed on the bound Applebloom who lay nearby, causing her to squeak and shut her eyes.
Applejack shut her eyes and turned her face away, not wanting to see her brother in such a state.
Twilight watched the scene for a few minutes, smiling as the two remaining apple siblings cried and struggled. Once their struggles seemed to cease, she approached the filly, causing the poor pony to scream anew and attempt to slither away. Applejack's eyes shot open at this.
Twilight lifted the filly in her magic, "Well that was fun... onto part two."
Equestria's Corrupted Monarch
'No... Macintosh... I'm so sorry...' The gray sky above sat motionless as it always had the whole time Twilight had been trapped here. She had long since given up on trying to free herself, just sobbing and screaming as she witnessed the carnage her body wrought.
'I'm sorry... that this isn't bothering me as much as it should... I... I actually enjoyed seeing him suffer like that...' The mare shut her eyes and put her head in her shackled hooves. She didnt want this to be happening, but with each new depraved act, she found herself starting to enjoy watching.
Maybe the disgusting things she witnessed were breaking her, maybe this was how her mind decided to cope with what she saw. She thought back to when she had been talking to Rarity in that cell, back when she let Spike rape one of her best friends. A thought had flashed in her mind. 'I... I didn't completely disagree with what Marlamew said... I really have wondered what it would be like to do this...'
Part of her was excited this was happening. Excited to see one of her darkest fantasies lived out. But a much greater part of her was horrified. She knew that it was wrong, awful, and would doom her nation for a long time to come.
She wouldn't let the demon know of her partial approval of his actions though. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction. And she didn't want to admit it to herself either, so she kept the thoughts deep in her mind, hoping he couldn't hear them...
She pricked her one ear remaining ear as a slight clanking echoed into her cell. It sounded like it was a little ways down the hall. Her heart leapt as she lifted her head. No not Twilight, please not again! She started to sob slightly at the thought of the murderous alicorn coming for her. Would she be killed this time? Or just raped again by one of her precious friends?
She shivered as her one eye dryly watched the cell door.
As the hoof steps got closer, she began to sob louder, before a familiar voice hit her ears.
"Rarity? Is that you?" It wasn't Twilight.
Rarity gasped, it came out wierdly around her drooping face, but she didnt think about her condition right now. This was a friend! Someone who could free her! She got up on her sore legs and raced to the cell door, slamming her hooves into it.
"LET ME OUT! PLEASE HELP ME!" She yelled out at the pony approaching. The hoof steps got quicker and louder at they discerned where the white unicorn was. Rarity somehow found it in her to cry again, this time from joy.
The dim chamber was just bright enough for her to make out the large shape of the former princess Celestia. What was she doing back in Canterlot? And in the long-forgotten dungeon no less? Rarity tossed aside the thoughts, much too desperate to think about that.
Celestia's eyes met hers, her magnificent pink orbs meeting Rarity's one good blue orb. Celestia looked shocked, and appalled. The latter made Rarity flinch in shame, averting her gaze to the dirty ground. Celestia soon realized her mistake and approached the cell.
"Oh Gods, Rarity what happened to you...?" Celestia's warm, worried voice sounded like music to the poor ruined alicorn.
A shivering, bloodied hoof lifted to the bars, "Twilight... she... she's gone crazy... she's hurting and killing us... please prin- Celestia. You need to stop her..." Rarity's words came out just as droopy and uneven as they had the previous times she tried to talk after being deformed. But they were full of emotion and truth.
Celestia stood there frozen for a few moments, not her eyes nor her hooves moved to show fear or shock. Even her brilliant flowing mane seemed to freeze in place. Rarity felt her blood go cold, something was wrong.
Suddenly, the pony before her lit a brilliant bright red and flashed out of existance, leaving behind the visage of her greatest fear. The corrupted, darkened figure of her former friend who had disfigured her horribly. Twilight Sparkle looked at the unicorn in unyielding annoyance and disappointment. For a moment, Rarity felt like the black charring that had burned the ends of her friends hair and horn has traveled further towards her purple body...
Twilight looked at Beast and shook her head, "tsk tsk Beast. I kept you alive because I thought you could be trusted. Do you truly want to live so badly? Even when you know that only thing keeping you alive is your obedience?"
Beast fell to her stomach again and weapt heavily into her hooves. It had been a trap. Of course no pony would find her down here! Her mind felt cold with fear at what the mighty ruler before her would do as punishment. She dared to look up into the all-mighty ponies eyes. "Please... im... I'm so sorry... please don't kill me... it won't happen again!" She sobbed, attempting to keep eye contact to show Twilight just how serious she was.
Even now, her fear of slipping into the dark unknown of death ruled over any fear she had of pain or incarceration. She was once again struck by the fear of non-existance, afterall, she didn't believe in an afterlife like most ponies did.
Twilight scrutinized her captive with piercing red eyes. Eyes that looked like they should belong to a hungry vulture. They were horrifying, so full of intelligence and power. This alicorn knew what the outcome of her test was going to be before even playing it out. She knew that Beast would try to escape, try to call for help. Her prey hadn't been properly broken yet, hadn't been show just how helpless her situation truly was.
But Twilight had wanted her to fail, not that Beast knew that. She wanted to show the useless mongrel just how alone and powerless she was compared to the Goddess before her. This would be the first of many of these types of tests Twilight ran on her slave. Each would be more convincing than the last, in the attempt to completely break her disfigured slave into believing that salvation was impossible. Afterall, she needed the unicorn for her cover-up story...
Twilight watched the poor earth pony, completely helpless to the events that were transpiring around her. How had unicorns not taken complete control before now? It was so easy to do whatever they wanted to the lesser races...
Once Applejack's tears started to slow, a beautiful thirty minutes later, Twilight kicked her little sister over to the sobbing orange pony. She squeaked in pain as she rolled towards he big sister in the potato sack she was in. Applejack gasped and put her body in front of her sisters to keep her from hitting a wall.
Applejack ripped the tape off her sisters mouth and held her close as she wailed loudly. She pet the little yellow foal's mane as she too wept tears through clenched eyes.
Twilight watched this with a calm smile, much like one Celestia used to wear. She then lit her red magic and pulled out a large rolling cart from the darkness. The un-oiled wheels squeaked awfully over the stony, cracked floor. She let momentum take the cart over to the two siblings who attempted to comfort eachother over their brother's grotesque death, even as his body sat not ten hooves from them.
Twilight held a hoof to her mouth and cleared her throat innocently. When this did nothing to catch the attention of the broken pair, she took the cart of instruments and gently nudged it into Applejack's side, who finally looked up at the tyrant. Eyes full of hatred, rage, vengeance, and much more Twilight could only see as negative. It felt nice, she smiled at this.
Twilight sauntered over to the siblings, not within range of Applejack to get at her but close enough to get to see the action up close. "So Applejack. You did as I asked. And now here is your reward. You get to choose how your dear sister dies," Twilight lifted up a knife in her magic and examined it as if it were a new book, "and you get to deliver her fate."
Applejack nearly dropped her bound sister in her angered shock. "WHAT? OH BUCK NO. You're sick! You're Celestia damned sick! You wouldn't! I refuse!" Every word shot out of her throat with guttural force, accompanied by spit from the force. She held her sister so close, it looked like little Applebloom was being crushed by her sisters protective hooves.
Twilight sighed lustfully, "Oh Applejack. Your brazen attitude makes me want to keep you around much longer than I plan to. It's a shame really. All this strength and familial love, it brings a tear to my eyes... and a shiver to my loins." Her cheeks let a light blush show through.
Just as quickly, her expression turned to cold stoicism and she lit her horn. Applebloom was yanked from her sisters grasp, the latter of which letting out a loud sob and reaching outwards.
"Applejack this isn't a request. I've given you an opportunity. She will die no matter what. But if you cooperate, she will get to die much less agonizingly than you or your brother will." She stepped towards the orange pony, towering threateningly over her, "don't make me ask twice. I'm losing my patience, and this sweet foal is giving me terrible, terrible ideas." She stroked the face of the foal, who cringed and squealed in return.
Applejack sat there staring into space. This couldn't be happening. It just couldn't. It wasn't possible. One of her best friends. Killing the others. Using them to kill other of her best friends. Using them to kill their own siblings. It just... it couldn't be.
It seemed Twilight may have finally broken Applejack. She frowned thoughtfully. She had hoped this would come after her friend's adorable sister died by her own hoof. But just as she felt that disappointment coming on, she saw AJ lift her head. Her eyes glazed over, no expression on her face.
"Fine. Gimme her." It was a simple request. So quiet and calmly said. Twilight smirked. This was what she wanted. She floated the foal over to the earth pony, the yellow body squirming and squealing wildly.
Applejack gently grabbed her sister from the magic and held her close. She closed her eyes and undid the sack so her sister could hug back. Her sisters arms flung around her as she did so. One more hug. Her sister deserved at least that.
The hug lasted a good ten minutes, with lots of tears and soothing petting. Then Applejack pulled back from the hug and looked her sister in the eyes. Her eyes were cold and sad.
"Applebloom. I know this is scary. But this has to happen. She will do so much worse if I dont." Applebloom interrupted her sisters speech with more bawling and hugging. Applejack stared out at nothing as she pet her sisters mane. "I know, I know. Just know I love you."
Applejack got up, much to her young sisters fear, and approached the cart. She stopped, and looked up at the purple alicorn. Once her good friend. Someone who use to ask how she could help, who use to get lost in books. Who taught her sister friendship lessons.
Their eyes locked and Applejack hoped one more time to see mercy before she had to make the ultimate choice. But she just saw sick, depraved pleasure in the alicorn's eyes. She thought as much. She shot her eyes to the cart and picked up the sharpest instrument she could. An ice pic. Something she could ram through her sisters.... brain... and end her suffering quickly...
She couldn't believe these thoughts were within her own brain. She had never considered this, and likely never would have if she had been allowed to continue with her life. But regardless she grabbed the tool in her hoof and turned away from the alicorn.
She approached the scared, shaking filly, her tears renewed as she shut her eyes and shivered. Applebloom was stuck in shock as her sister approached her with a weapon. Her innocent eyes wide with confusion and fear. She knew what was coming instinctually, but her little foal brain just couldn't believe it regardless.
"S-sis... please dont..." was all she could shake out of her own voice box. It was so quiet, so sincere. Applejack let out a sob and shook her head. She approached the scared filly and pet her mane comfortingly. Then, she quickly shoved the head to the ground and stabbed the ice pic into her temple.
She did it as quick as she could, all she heard was a confused squeak as her siters head was shoved, then the grotesque sound of skull cracking and shattering, and the sound of flesh splurting out as her sisters brain was stabbed deep.
She sobbed and let go of the instrument as it stuck in the brains of her beloved sister. She gasped and shot her eyes open as a gurgling sound penetrated her ears. She looked towards her poor baby sister to see... that she was still alive. She was on her side, ice pic stuck in her head with blood pooling around it. Her body twitched and her bloodshot eyes stared straight ahead. She was hacking and gagging as her poor little brain was scrambled.
Applejack gagged and screamed, sidestepping unsteadily backwards. She covered her mouth with her hooves, then leapt forward and dislodged the ice pic and quickly stabbed it back down into the skull. Her little sister let out a weak squeak, absolutely out of instinct. She lifted and stabbed again, and again, and again.
Her shaky hooves were covered in blood, tiny flecks of gray brain matter flew out with the intensity she pulled the ice pic out each time. She panted heavily staring at her little sisters mangled, bloodied head. It had taken about five stabs to really kill her. Each time she hadn't hit vital brain tissue. Her shattered mind unconsciously thought that ice pic lobotomies made more sense to her now, even if they weren't normally performed this way...
Applejack stepped back from the body, her tears dried up and her eyes bloodshot. She couldn't look away from the mess she had made. A poor yellow filly, well now more of a red-to-yellow gradient filly, sat before her. Six dark bloody holes in the orb that was her head and skull. Brain matter and blood seaped around and down onto the floor.
Her eyes were glazed and her mouth hung open. She sat down and just stared unseeingly at the body.
Twilight approached Applejack and laid a hoof on her shoulder. She didn't flinch or make a noise. She didn't change expressions. Twilight ruffled her hair as if they were buddies making up from a fight, and then licked a bit of blood from Applejack's cheek.
She had broken the strong and harty Applejack, she felt damn proud. She worried this may not have been enough, but this pony seemed to value loyalty even more than Rainbow Dash did, so she should have know her plans would have been enough.
Twilight stoked the poor ponies bloody and disheveled mane before taking the same ice pic she had killed her sister with, and shoving it through the orange ponies skull.
Applejack didnt see it coming. She thought her death would have been so much worse than her siblings. And this only brought more shame and self-hatred into herself. So, in the moment that this one stab to the skull killed her, she could feel nothing but regret and disloyalty to her family.
