King Sombra’s P.O.V:

I had many tests for Valiente, waiting to be done. I had taught her spells that could kill a pony, both painfully and slowly.

I decided to make her torture, and then kill some ponies. It would be amusing and very enjoyable to watch.

So, that’s why this evening I had Black Fire foalnap some more ponies. I had ordered him to get ten, not more and not less.

If we took too much, then Sunbutt might start a war. And that, was something I didn’t want at all.

Valiente was busy torturing some ponies who had tried to fight against me, and motivate others too.

One had been caught giving out posters that said, ‘Why should we bow to King Sombra, when we can fight? We may not have the magic of a unicorn, but we have each other. We have our own strength.’

Only five had joined him, and they were being tortured by Valiente in the dungeon.

I had personally killed that pony. His name was Check mate. Once he was thrown into the dungeons, I had started torturing him by giving him nightmares, and pain spells.

He had begged several times for me to just get over with it and kill him, but I had kept the torture going until he was nothing more than a shell of a pony.

Then, I had ended his suffering by aiming a crystal spell at his heart. The spell had made a crystal grow through his heart, killing him very painfully.

I would never kill a pony unless it was in the most painful way possible. That's why most called me 'The heartless stallion'.

I did have a heart, but I only showed love to those who I cared for. I made others think that I cared for nopony.

There was a knock on the door, pulling me from my thoughts. I said, "Enter.", and Black Fire entered my throne room with ten chained ponies.

I got off my throne and looked at them. One had yellow fur, a red mane, and a bow. She was an earth pony.

The second had white fur, and a mane which was colored purple and pink. She was a unicorn.

The third's fur was orange, and her mane was colored somewhere between pink and purple.

The fourth...I decided not to think about what they looked like. After all, none of that mattered.

I asked Black Fire, "Do you want to stay and watch, or leave when Valiente starts the torture and killing?"

Black was surprised that I gave him an option. He replied, "I would like to watch the torture, my King."

I was equally surprised by his answer, but said, "Your choice. Now go and call Valiente."

Black left to do as I had told him. Minutes later, he came back followed by Valiente. The two bowed to me, and then Valiente came and asked, "King Sombra. May I know what is required of me?"

I replied, "Those spells that I've been teaching you, the pain and torture ones, I want you to use it on these ten ponies. Torture them for a long time, and then kill them in the most painful way possible. Are you ready?"

Valiente said, "Yes, my King, I am ready to do as you have commanded."

Valiente then removed the blindfolds and chains from the ponies. Then, she cast a spell on the door and windows so that none of them were able to escape.

Black Fire gave the torture table, and Valiente put a colt on it.

After doing the straps, she said, "Rumble, isn't it? Why, it's so good to see you."

The colt opened his eyes which he had shut from fear, and asked, "Twilight? Twilight Sparkle? But you're dead, how can you be here?"

Valiente replied, "I am NOT Twilight Sparkle. I am Valiente Terror. Now, let’s see how loud you can scream."

With that, Valiente cast the pain spell on the colt who screamed at the top of his lungs. But he wasn’t silenced, as both Valiente and I loved hearing ponies scream while they were being tortured.

Valiente then cast the torture spell which was much more powerful than the one of pain.

The colt screamed louder and louder. Valiente got a knife, and using her magic, made small cuts all over the colt’s body.

The other ponies who were forced to watch, were crying and screaming for Valiente to stop. But, all that Valiente did was cast a silencing spell on each of them. Now that she didn’t have to listen to other crying fillies and colts, she started making deeper cuts.

As the knife got covered with blood, Valiente pushed it deeper, earning louder cries from the one she was torturing.

Then, as the pain became too much, the colt started begging, “P-please Twilight, t-this isn’t you. Y-you’re being controlled. Have mercy.”

Valiente laughed manically as she said, “Oh little Rumble. Why would I have mercy on you? I’m not being controlled, I submitted to King Sombra of my own free will. I’m not scared of hurting and killing a little blank-flank colt like yourself. My name is Valiente after all.”

And with that, she started a crystal spell, one that would make crystals grow through the body of the one who it had been cast on.

The colt’s screams could be heard from outside the castle by now, and only the ones within the throne room could hear his final words.

Which were, “T-twilight. H-have mercy.”

And Valiente grew a crystal through the colt’s heart as she said, “Never will I have mercy on anypony. Especially not those ponies who I once called friends. For them will be the most painful death ever. Or maybe I’ll torture them for eternity!”

Then the colt screamed one final scream, before he was killed by the crystal.

Valiente threw the dead colt off the table, and got another one. She took the silencing spell off it, and then as she strapped the colt to the table and said, “Snips? I never liked you anyways. You always needed somepony else to help you.”

With that, the torture was started for the colt. His screams filled the castle, and Valiente smiled showing her fangs which had appeared after she had used lots of dark magic.

Now with the torture spell, the pain of Valiente sinking her fangs into the colt’s hoof was felt by the one she was torturing.

The colt cried and screamed, but it was for nothing. His final words were, “Twilight. T-this isn’t you.”

And the colt died by Valiente pushing a knife through his body. Valiente then threw the colt off the table and got the white furred filly. She said, “Hmm, Sweetiebelle. Now what should I do with you?”

The white filly begged, “Twilight! P-please don’t k-kill me.”

“If you keep calling me Twilight, then I will kill you.”, said Valiente.

“F-fine then. V-Valiente. D-don’t k-kill me. I-I’d do anything!”, said the filly.

“Really, anything?”, asked Valiente.

“Yes, anything!”, replied the filly.

Valiente put the knife down and then walked to me. She whispered, “This filly could be of use to us. She’s the sister of one of the element bearers.”

I told her, “Don’t kill the ones that are connected to the Element Bearers. Just torture them enough to give pain, not to kill. Do you understand?”

“Yes, my King.”, was her reply before she walked back to the filly.

She said to the crying filly, “King Sombra has been kind enough to tell me not to kill you. But, you will be his prisoner.”

The filly nodded accepting, as she wouldn’t die. Then, Valiente tortured her. When she was done, the filly was soaked in blood.

Valiente put her into a cage made out of dark magic, and then locked the door. Then, she got the orange furred one. She said, “Scootaloo. I guess you’ll have to be spared death too.”

Then, she tortured the filly. The filly screamed in pain, and then Valiente stopped.

She put the filly into the cage, and locked it again. Then was the yellow ones turn.

She got the same as the other two. Then Valiente locked the cage, and got the next pony to be tortured.

She strapped the filly onto the torture table, and then started the torture.

The filly screamed as Valiente cut her hoof off. Valiente did the same to the filly’s three remaining hooves.

The filly cried, and Valiente started making cuts with her knife. First small ones, and then deep and long ones.

She then cut the filly’s ears, and the filly screamed. Valiente smiled the smile she had when she got an idea.

She asked Black Fire, “Could you get some salt and lemons?”

Black Fire nodded and flew off to get it. He came back within a minute, with a pot of salt and some lemons in his hooves.

Valiente took the salt and lemons and then put some salt on the filly’s cuts. The filly screamed, as it hurt her.

Valiente cut the filly’s cheek, and she screamed. She screamed even louder when Valiente rubbed a piece of lemon on it

Valiente continued to make cuts on the filly’s face, and covered them with salt. Then started the filly’s begging. “P-please j-just kill me. It- it hurts too much.”

Valiente laughed, “But little filly, it’s supposed to hurt.”

She then started cutting the filly’s wings off. The filly’s screams of pain filled the air.

Once she was done, Valiente started cutting around the filly’s cutie mark.

She ripped it off. Then to end filly’s suffering, she ripped the filly’s heart out. The filly gave a final scream, and then was thrown off the table.

*****************************

Valiente had killed all the foalnapped ponies in the most painful ways possible. Now was left the question of what to do with my three new prisoners.

I ordered Black Fire, "Take these bodies out of the Empire and then come back. Black Fire did exactly that, and then came.

I told him, "Take those three to the interrogation room. Valiente, clean yourself up."

Black Fire left to do as I had told him while Valiente nodded and went to have a shower.

Author's note: So much torture in this chapter, I quite enjoyed writing it. Valiente shall be heartless in no time! (Evil laughter) And then, shall begin even more terror, torture, and delicious blood! Btw, none of you thought that I really would kill off the cute adorable cutie mark crusaders, did you? And about Black Fire, he's a stallion with black fur, and a yellow mane. His cutie mark is fire. He's a guard. And he's also a pegasus. Don't forget to...Vote...Like...Comment...Share!
