I was murdered, Celestia killed me, and now out of her own guilt she forever closed down the school in Canterlot and she will never again teach anypony else as she did infect, destroy, and ruined my life like the parasite she is and concealed herself away inside her castle to be all alone forever. I guess I finally got through to her, without her leadership and in dire of need Equestria will soon realize of who she really is. But now I'm here in this void waiting for my fate to be decided to either go to Heaven or Hell. I bet that I'll be going to Hell because of what I had become and what I had done. I deserve to be all alone, no friends, no family, nothing but me because I don't need friends when I can become an Alicorn alone. My father doubted me and he never cared making me feel like I was meant to be in his shadow especially the one deity who created me and gave me birth.
In the end as I have died by my former teacher, I realized that all my years of being alive have been hell for me and no one especially the creator of all things never cared! I would rather be all alone forever than having friends because I see them as brainless dolts! I never needed friends to begin with into weaponizing the Elements of Harmony against her sister when she was Nightmare Moon. I would have hunted her down beyond her return after 1000 years of exile on the moon and spilled her blood for her betrayal against her sister, her master Starswirl, and all of Equestria! But instead when she casted me away, her new pupil Twilight and her new friends weaponized the Elements of Harmony on her only to return her back to being Luna again and later on she had become an Alicorn to succeed her, built her so called "School of Friendship", then later on came the birth of the Young 6 who are the successors to Twilight and her friends.
They all had to let sentiment become their greatest weakness believing it to be a word for resolve of one's dangerous enemies to be one's good friend and maintain peace in the land. But I always see it as a weakness, but now that I'm dead I have no place left to call home and my mother and brother, Stellar Flare and Sunburst knew of my death and accused Celestia for it. But they still forgave her! Just as I have waited for my fate to be decided, an unknown figure approached me and I see it's wearing a pitch black suit with a red spider insignia on his chest and carries a blood red sword. He must be a deity but different.
As he revealed himself to me, I backed away in fear and said, "Who are you?"
"Don't fear my child. I came to you for a reason." he said.
"Then what are you?" I asked.
"I am Knull. The God of the Symbiotes. An alien race I created from beyond your world." he said.
I was surprised that he is indeed a god, but the creator of an alien race I have never heard before.
"What is it that you want to see me for?" I asked.
"I have seen all of what your life had been when you were born and all of what your future became. I grew in interest in you Sunset Shimmer, your beliefs of sentiment, love, and friendship being mere words for weakness and prowessness being your greatest strength. Sadly when your death came by your former teacher, you're not the only one who lives in the shadow of pride. Celestia who was taught by Starswirl they have to keep secrets of the many arts of magic to never be misused. You tried to convince her that you can be trustworthy, but when she took her master's word Starswirl deems you and other ponies never to be trusted to learn all those secrets leaving both her and Starswirl to assume you being Equestria's destroyer. He is your true enemy who made your former teacher live in his shadow of pride only for you to live in hers next." he said.
I was shocked to hear of what he said. He does believe of what I believe and he is right of who really made me and Celestia into, Starswirl. I swore on every lie he said to her, her sister, and me his blood will be spilled by me for what he had done.
"I guess you're like more of a father to me than what my doubtful father ever hoped to be. We have many things in common after all." I said maliciously.
"Do you still wish to kill your former teacher?" he asked.
"Actually, Celestia is no longer the pony to kill for me. Starswirl is now my true enemy. He was my inspiration, but as of what you said he has proved me wrong of who he really is. He is no sorcerer." I said.
"Very well, my new daughter. For that I shall resurrect you in a new body and give you a symbiote of your own and in time you and your symbiote will become one as it will reflect on your hatred on Starswirl and your lust for blood and destruction." he said.
"Well thank you, father! I have waited to be a human again but also to be alive again with a symbiote of my own! I am your daughter to the end! Together we'll bring glorious carnage to all of Equestria and see how Starswirl likes it!" I said in delight.
"Carnage, eh? I like the sound of that. You've promised to bring carnage, now deliver it my daughter!" he said as he used his power to change me to be human and a blood red symbiote was summoned from beneath my skin and I was covered into it as my new power.
After my transformation, I punched and escaped my grave as I am alive again in the Canterlot Cemetery. I looked at my tombstone one last time and plucked it off the ground and threw it far away. Then I came to a mirror and looked at myself in my symbiote form. My new father had did it, I am now reborn into something more to have another chance for my revenge.
"Rise, Sunset Carnage. Rise and destroy all who wronged you." he said.
"Yes, Father." I said as I left the castle and climbed up the mountain to get a good view of the land as it will be bathed in blood.
"Soon come chaos, Chaos soon come. All will take notice of my resurrection and soon all will feel the wrath of SUNSET CARNAGE!" I said descending from the mountain and back to Canterlot waiting for the right time for Starswirl and his demise by my rage.
After my resurrection and rebirth, day has dawned and I have waited at the Canterlot Cemetery for my former teacher, her pupil, and her master to come here as the Royal Guard gave her notice of it. Hours later, she finally came to my grave along with Starswirl and Twilight to investigate of why my grave is empty and my tombstone missing.
"How could anything like this happen?" Celestia asked to herself.
"Is that Sunset's grave?" asked Twilight.
"Yes." she answered.
"So that's the reason why you concealed yourself away in the castle five years ago?" asked Twilight.
"Yes, Twilight. When she somehow escaped Tartarus and to the unexpected, killed Tirek, she came here but as a monster. When she smashed my right eye and before I restored it, I killed her when she was attacking me with broken bones and ripped flesh. When she died and I buried her, I closed down the School of Gifted Unicorns forever and it came to me that all I do is infect, destroy, and ruin the lives of ponies I come close to. I'm nothing but a parasite and that's all I will ever be for the rest of my days if I had never lied to her about the magic mirror in the first place." she said.
"Celestia, don't say that. Listen, if I hadn't been keeping secrets of the many arts of magic and deeming all of Equestria's ponies untrustworthy to learn all of them, only to lead one of them to be drunken for power, then all of those past five years would never have happened between you and Sunset. It is my mistake that I've made all of that possible, and now I don't know what I can do to pay for it ever since the day when I’ve turned my back not just on Stygian, but you, your sister, and everypony else I knew and betrayed. Only for them to be made into monsters by my transgressions." said Starswirl.
"Starswirl, I have already forgiven you when I and my friends brought you back. Especially for all of the mistakes you did back then okay? There is no need to pay for that mistake." said Twilight.
"I know, Twilight. But the thing is how could she come back from the dead?" asked Starswirl.
"I don't know. And I doubt if she ever came back as a zombie." she said.
Then as my que came in, I've jumped off the wall behind them and landed from behind making them jump in fright when the guards heard it and surrounded me. Then as they turned to take a good look at me in my symbiote form, Celestia was the first to break the silence.
"Wait. That hair, flame style. And that face..... Sunset Shimmer? Is that you?" she asked.
"The Sunset Shimmer you knew is dead, because you've killed her five years ago. So from now on, Sunset Shimmer is gone and no longer exists. There is only, SUNSET CARNAGE!" I said as I attacked the Royal Guard.
Multiple tendrils appeared from my back and formed many deadly weapons like swords, spears, axes, and scythes. I have ripped and tore the whole Royal Guard of their flesh and bones; their blood spilling all over the cemetery, I have shown no mercy as for I have shown my display of magical prowess. When the guard is wiped out, the three confronted me and I retracted my tendrils back into my body.
"What have you become?" asked Celestia.
"I became of what you have assumed of me becoming, CRUEL!" I said in pure rage.
"Sunset, I know I have never trusted you back then and I know you have potential to succeed me, but as this!? Why!?" she asked.
"When you took me in and when I've learned of how your niece became an alicorn by destroying a witch, I would have done something worth the ascension! But no! You've assumed of me relying on magical prowess leading you to assume of me being EQUESTRIA'S DESTROYER!!!" I said with eternal hate and rage.
"I only wanted you to have friends, and to help return my sister back to who she was. Friendship is also the key to ascend to be an alicorn like Twilight did." she said with tears in her eyes.
"Truly. But when you sent her to Ponyville to get friends before your sister returned she once knew that they are CRAZY DOLTS! She would've worked alone but no, she just had to have friends to change your sister back to who she once was before when you know that she betrayed you and your master! I would've killed her on the spot when you know you're sister's a traitor but instead you threw me out. All the land needs a strong leader without SENTIMENT! And I work ALONE!" I said.
"Sunset, how could you come down to darkness so quick? Why would you believe that sentiment and friendship are words for weakness when they can bring solutions of peace and harmony, not needing to resort to bloodshed?" she asked with more tears coming out.
"Peace!? Harmony!? Being made possible of what I described!? My new father who is a god believed in me and my beliefs like no one else can ever hope to. The strong and prowess will triumph over those who are pure evil and those who betray. Those who are strong in ambition I will make weak and put out of their misery and keep them in fear. And sentiment, friendship, love, honor? Those are nothing more but mere words for you and Starswirl's greatest weakness." I said in anger.
"How can you know that!? You don't know that Sunset Shimmer." she asked.
"My name is no longer SUNSET SHIMMER!!!" I yelled as I made a mighty stomp on the ground pushing them away as I walked forward.
"An it's not Princess Sunset Shimmer either! That ship has sailed away long ago. All I wanted is to convince you that friendship and sentiment will never be enough when it comes to strong leaders like me. I only wanted to show you what I'm really capable of when I don't need friends at all. Capable enough that I can do things myself without anyone looking out for me when I can look after myself! Keeping secrets from me is what I despise of you when I can be trustworthy to use them for good for once! And what did you say to me!?" I asked.
Flashback
"You need to start opening up to new friends."
"I thought I saw compassion and sincerity in you, but it was nothing but AMBITION."
"Being a princess must be EARNED."
"I am removing you from the position of my PUPIL."
"I hereby forever banish you to Tartarus for the near murder of my pupil Twilight Sparkle and using her element to overthrow me as Equestria's Destroyer! You are CRUEL, DISHONSET, and SELFISH."
End Flashback
"All those words you said to me when your new pupil Twilight came after me and brought me back and after you forever banished me to Tartarus, all that tore me apart. That is why while I was in the Human Realm driving everyone apart. A word for tearing friendships apart, tearing the Magic of Friendship apart piece by piece until its existence has halted." I said.
"Why!? Why would you want to destroy the Magic of Friendship!?" asked Celestia.
"That magic maybe powerful over everyone and me, but that magic's title is weakness and it will never be enough to vanquish the evil just like of what Chrysalis did in this city's wedding and you never believed your new student Twilight at all when she was trying to tell you the truth and you ignored her like the dishonest hypocrite you are. And I have learned an important lesson when you threw me out and while I was in Tartarus, you maim everyone, you don't trust anyone, you don't care about anyone and you can't count on anyone you take in as your new pupil or student assuming all of them who may become Equestria's destroyer. Especially your own sister when she betrayed you and all of the land." I said.
"Sunset, I was wrong to treat you that way. And you're right, I was also wrong to not listen to my student's warning before the wedding and to push my sister away from all those 1000 years. And I was wrong to not trust you and push you away making you feel like this. I'm sorry." she said.
"It's already too late to apologize. FIVE YEARS TOO LATE!!!" I roared.
"Sunset, you'll never understand that dark magic will control you! You never knew that because she didn't and I didn't when she took you in." said Starswirl.
"Then you know what Starswirl? You don't know me, AT ALL!" I said as I formed a sword on my right arm and stabbed him in the guts. With blood spewing out, I jumped on him and mauled his throat and neck very deep getting a taste of him and pulled that big chunk of his neck off.
As he breathed for his final moments, I said, "You are no sorcerer. You are nothing. You turn your back on me, I turn my back on you."
"Starswirl!" said Celestia and Twilight.
In deep rage, Celestia lit her horn fit to burn me. I turned to see her eyes with burning rage and it amused me to see of what she'll do.
"That's so dark for you that you want kill me again just like last time five years ago?" I asked.
"It will be easy, like a moth to the FLAME!!!" she said savagely.
"Well then show me. You've been waiting a long time to resort to bloodshed, hopefully that you'll take Nightmare Moon's place and all of Equestria will see you as the tyrant and murderer you were destined to be." I said.
As she stared at me more, she would without hesitation, burn me without sentiment and cowardice. But she calmed and the flames faded from her horn, letting sentiment get the best of her as always.
"I knew you couldn't do it. Even when you had nothing else to lose. You, your student, and her friends are weak! And I've outgrown you." I said.
I leapt away from the castle and Canterlot itself to hunt this so called 'Legion of Doom' leaving Celestia and Twilight to bear witness of his death.
As Celestia and Twilight rush to Starswirl, tears are shed from their eyes into witnessing the death of the bearded as he gloated his last words.
"Celestia, Twilight, I have failed you all. I've doomed all of Equestria. If I hadn't made you and your sister feel like you were meant to be in my shadow, keeping all the arts of magic a secret, and turning my back on you and everypony else, this would have never happened to your once beloved student." he said as blood came out of his mouth.
"Starswirl, we've already forgiven you. But with Sunset coming back from the dead as a monster, somehow resurrected by a god, my assumptions and my fears of her being equestria's destroyer made it all come true. As long as she desires to bring carnage to all, she'll never find peace." she said.
"One day, you'll find a way to help her find it. I believe in you, your pupil and her friends that you can save all the land from her rage. I'll be with all of you always, and I'll be at peace with you." he said as he made his final breath and died.
Celestia and Twilight broke down in endless tears of their friend murdered by my hand. Now that my revenge is complete, my quest to bring carnage to all the land has begun starting with the 'Legion of Doom'.
A few hours later after the funeral…
As they buried him at the cemetery and left, Twilight said, "How could this day be like this? My idol, your master, murdered!"
"I know my student. We'll miss him very much. And Sunset is right, I'm a fraud. A Princess of Pride, Folly, and Selfishness. And I've been in the wrong all these years. I'm so sorry Twilight." she said as they cried in tears for the loss.
"Celestia I already forgave you when I heard the truth, I would never hate you. But what can we do? Sunset is still out there and if she continues on her quest to bathe Equestria in blood, she'll never find peace and she will again challenge you for the throne." she said.
"Then we all must try to mend her heart, but it has gone more darker than before when I darkened it." she said.
"I fear that, she no longer has one." said Twilight.
Above in the sky on a cloud I rode on, I took one last glance at Canterlot and said, "Enjoy your time of sentiment while you can Celestia. Because starting tomorrow when I slay the Legion of Doom, all of the land will be bathed in the blood of its people and you'll finally understand that you have doomed your subjects. Let there be pain. Let there be bloodshed. Let there be strife. Let there be hate. Let there be destruction. LET THERE BE CARNAGE!"
I was finally on the hunt for this so called Legion of Doom who is bent onto ruling and segregating Equestria with an iron fist, but I realized there can only be one ruler and that is me. When I realize that when I killed Tirek years ago back in Tartarus, the legion's ranks are thin and that can work to my advantage. When I have arrived to their hideout I see three ponies inside at a roundtable discussing things. And one of them is a changeling, that wretched Queen Chrysalis who raided the Canterlot Wedding from years ago. I could have killed her as well when I planned to kill Nightmare Moon but now she is here with the dark unicorn, King Sombra and that little Pegasus named Cozy Glow who betrayed Twilight a while ago.
"It has been five years since Celestia's former student Sunset Shimmer escaped Tartarus for revenge and Tirek who died by her unpredictable fury." said Sombra.
"Now that Celestia killed her, she has finally locked herself away to be alone forever until today. She now finally understands sentiment is always her greatest weakness and now we have heard that Star Swirl is finally dead. But without any further do, once we obtain Grogar's bell, all the land will bow to us and they will respect us." said Chrysalis.
"And once again segregate the tribes for the wendigos' return. When we have the power to destroy them, we will be adored as their gods." said Cozy Glow.
When it came to my boiling point that they have threatened too much and I heard enough, I snuck in, tiptoed behind Chrysalis and said. "There can only be one to lead. And that is me."
I shot out my tendrils from my body and pinned both Sombra and Cozy at the sides. As I grab held of Chrysalis by her neck, I turned her around to face me. When she looked at me, her face dropped in terror of my appearance and took a long good look at me of who I once was.
"Sunset Shimmer!? But you were dead!" she said.
"I am no longer Sunset Shimmer. That part of me was killed by my former teacher. There is only Sunset Carnage!" I said as I raised my left arm forming an axe but sharper.
"You will rule nothing Chrysalis. I will be the one on the throne, not you, Cozy Glow or Sombra." I said as I shoved her off of me and used my feet to tear her hind legs off and she howled in pain.
"Have mercy. Please, PLEASE!!!" she said.
"There will be no mercy for what you all wish to plot." I said as I thrusted my axe into her face and slashed her head, horn and neck in half. Then I finished the job by decapitating her.
Then I felt something burning in my throat. It felt it was trying to come out and when it did, I blew fire from my mouth and burned Chrysalis' corpse to ash. Forever deceased. It seems that I have gained new power, breathing fire and both Sombra and Cozy were terrified at the sight.
"Flame breath and immunity. I know that the symbiotes are vulnerable to fire, but I am immune to it as my new power. Now as for you Sombra!" I said turning and walking up to him.
When I held him by the throat, I said, "I was the one who killed Star Swirl. He turned his back on everpony and betrayed everypony he knew and he died for what he did. You were meant to be denied of your destiny, you are just a pawn to some being who wants all the land for itself and have you out of the picture. But when I'm through with you, you'll be going to the realm of damnation and you will stay there for eternity!"
As I tore his left limb off and he howled in pain, I used my fire breath to burn him and he did suffer a lot of burn marks on his wound and himself.
"You think that you can deny me!? I am the rightful ruler of all the land as it is my destiny! And my true destiny is to be adored, respected, and worshipped as I am a GOD!!! And dark magic made it all possible for me and dark magic itself is your GOD!!!" he said.
"Then it proved itself unworthy, as you have." I said as I tore his horn off his head making him lose some of his power, but not all of it. He became weak and he lost a portion of his strength.
"We'll meet again Sunset Carnage. You will pay dearly for this!" He said as he vanished to somewhere in the frozen north outside of the Crystal Empire.
"Now as for you Cozy, your fake innocence will not fool me as you are next." I said as I approached her.
As I held her by her wings, I said, "That stunt you pulled into manipulating and turning the tribes against each other at Twilight's school was something I would have planned. But I have no intention to divide Equestria for the wendigos to return."
"Please, what do you want!?" she begged.
"Well, all I want for you to do, is DIE!!!" I roared as I used my fire breath to burn her alive. Now that she is too forever deceased along with Chrysalis and Tirek, Sombra is the only one who is left.
"Your day of reckoning is coming Sombra. Your desire for power and to be a god will one day be the death of you." I said as I left their lair and burned it down. My war with Sombra has just only begun and he will die, permanently.
As a few hours passed, Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and her friends arrived at the abandoned lair I have burned down and found the burned corpses of Chrysalis and Cozy Glow.
"How cruel can she be to kill a foal so young?" asked Twilight.
"I should have never been so hard on her if she would go to extreme lengths to kill a young foal." said Celestia.
"Listen, yer highness. We understand the truth now so don't be so hard on yourself okay?" said Applejack.
"It may be too late to undo the past, but it is never too late to make it up for it." said Luna.
"You're right, should her heart be mended when I confess everything of what I had been to her." said Celestia.
"And hopefully in time, Equestria won't suffer her anymore and we can give her a chance to seek out the Magic of Friendship." said Twilight.
"I hope so too Twilight. I hope so too." said Celestia.
"Well now that both Chrysalis and Cozy Glow are out of the way, Sombra is the only one left to contend with." said Rarity.
"Sunset may not be strong enough to destroy him." said Fluttershy.
"Oh, but she will." said a voice and they turned to see the god of the symbiotes himself, Knull.
"So you are the one who is responsible for Sunset's resurrection." said Luna.
"Indeed. That lair she burned down, I gifted her a new ability to breath fire. Although, my creations are vulnerable to fire and high sound so I gave her immunity of those weaknesses." he said.
"Well not only she killed Chrysalis the one who is behind the Canterlot Wedding incident, she killed Cozy Glow when she is still young! Why would you revive Sunset to do such things to a foal so young!?" said Celestia.
"Well, if it weren't for your lies about the magic mirror then she would not do it. But you did lie to her and that is why your master died a painful death." he said as Celestia looked down in guilt and she knew he is right.
"Anyways I must be going. I have a daughter to watch over and spend quality time with." he said as he vanished in a red flash teleporting away to join up with me.
"Sunset, I will never lie to you again." said Celestia.
