//-------------------------------------------------------// THE LAST ACT OF GENEROSITY -by Celestia1600- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// 1- The beginning. //-------------------------------------------------------// 1- The beginning. Winter, an excellent time to spend with family, friends and reinforce their bond of love and that is exactly what our protagonists are doing, having a good time with those they love. 6 adult mares, a baby dragon and three fillies were next to a clearing that was beautiful in summer but because of the freezing temperatures it is now frozen so they were using it to skate and hang out. "Sweetie Belle, dear, you want to stay still so I can put your skates on your hooves" - Said the dressmaker mare known as Rarity, complaining to her little sister. "I'm sorry sister, it's just that I can't wait any longer to be able to skate, maybe we can get an ice skating cutie mark, can you imagine? It would be great" - Chatted an excited filly trying to stay still for her older sister to put her on. Skates. "I know dear but if you don't stay still you won't be able to go" - Said the mare a little irritated. When I finally managed to put them on, she let her little sister free her magic grip and go with her friends to skate happily and from time to time I observe them checking their flanks and checking if a mark appeared. "They look happy don't they Rares?" - A field mare named Applejack asked her dressmaker friend and watching her little sister skate, a filly about Sweetie Belle's age named Apple Bloom. "Quite a bit, it's like they never get tired of looking for adventures and with them problems but the truth is that I wouldn't know what I would do without my little Sweetie Belle chattering from here to there" - Rarity said. "You are very right, I hope we are all together always" - Applejack pronounced. "HELLO GIRLS, what are you doing?" - Asked an enthusiastic pink mare named Pinkie Pie coming out of a nearby tree. "We only take care of the girls Pinkie" - The cowgirl replied. "Oki-doki-loki" - And the party pony ran into the clearing with the fillies. "Since I arrived in Ponyville I have been surprised by Pinkie's agility to handle those skates on the ice and not fall" - Said an Alicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle, recently a princess of equestria, approaching them along with Fluttershy, a shy Pegasus and Spike , a baby dragon and Twilight's # 1 assistant. "Yes haha, all of us at the time come to surprise or scare us with the things it does but over time you get used to some of them" - I pronounce another Pegasus raised in the sky near them to be heard, this Pegasus had a rainbow mane and tail and was known as Rainbow Dash. The mane, the little dragon and now Pinkie who had returned from skating, kept talking about various things. "And how are things going with the event that Princess Celestia asked you to be Twilight" - Asked Applejack. "Well, I have been doing the last adjustments and paperwork that Celestia told me that there should be and the issues that are going to be carried out, although I am missing a few things and I only have 2 days left to prepare everything, but I know that with the help of Spike we are going to achieve it, right Spike? - Said the Princess. "Of course Twi, your # 1 assistant is here to support you" - Proudly pronounced the little purple and green dragon. "Thanks for the help Spike, you are the best" - Twilight thanked with a smile. "Do not worry Twi, it is not a bother, apart from how I am going to accompany you I can see in passing the costumes that Rarity made for Cadence, Luna and you that I am sure are an excellent and beautiful job" - The enamored Dragon pronounced. "Awww, you are a sweetheart my dear Spikey-Wikey, although if you are right dear, they have been one of my best works and nothing less than for three of the four princesses of Equestria" - The dressmaker said excited and proud of her work. "The truth is, Rarity, the dresses you made for us are beautiful, apart from if I'm not mistaken, Cadence asked you to please make her the traditional hairstyle of the empire again, right?" - Recognized and asked the Princess of friendship. "Right dear, it's an honor that you asked me for things like that, ponies of such a high level as you princesses" - said Rarity. "Don't say those things Rarity, it's your hard work that keeps you where you are and it's to be admired" - Twilight said. "I really appreciate your compliments darling" - Said the dressmaker. Until Applejack turned back to the pond and noticed that the fillies were no longer there and instead were only their skates in the snow outside the clearing. Alerting the others they went to where the skates were but they only found small footprints in the snow heading and entering the trees that surrounded them, without a doubt they were the footprints of the fillies so the 7 walked in the direction of the footprints but they could not find the little ones. "Are they nowhere to be seen?" - Asked the cowgirl to the others. "No, from up here you can't see much with the snow starting to fall faster and faster" - The cyan Pegasus pronounced a few meters away from the ground without being able to see much more than a few meters away. Until they heard movement and thinking that they were the little ones, they ran towards where the sound was coming from but the only thing they found were 6 rough and strong looking stallions, 3 Unicorns, 2 Pegasi and 1 Terrestrial pony and the 3 unconscious fillies in the snow with a little blood coming out of their manes most likely due to a blow that caused their unconsciousness. Seeing that, the mares and the dragon tried to protect themselves and save the fillies but they only managed to be disabled by the stallions either by a blow or some spell cast by the unicorns. "What did they do to the girls!" - growled the cyan Pegasus to the stallions. "Leave them miserable, they are just girls" - Applejack growled in the same way at the abusers. "Do not worry about anything beautiful mares, my men and I have a place waiting for you in our lair, so just relax and cooperate" - One of the Unicorns pronounced and gesturing to the others they knocked out the mares and the little dragon . The last thing they felt was a sharp pain in the side of their head and then ... darkness. Author's Note I hope this story is to your liking and you are given the opportunity as there are very good things to come. Over and out. //-------------------------------------------------------// 2- What happened? //-------------------------------------------------------// 2- What happened? -POV RARITY- Darkness... only that his eyes could see, a great darkness and a great pain on the side of his head. Trying to open her eyes, she couldn't see much either, since wherever she was, apparently there wasn't a shred of light, but for a moment she was grateful that there wasn't light, because if there was, she was sure that her eyes and the pain in his head would have increased. He tried to move and ignore the pain in his body but totally failed as something solid, heavy and cold was around his right front hoof and his left rear hoof, he tried again to stand up but as I suspect he did not succeed so in his better place he decided to sit down and see what he could see in that total darkness in which he found himself. When she was executing her mission to find something as best she could, a small moan scared her and distracted her for a few moments, she tried again to find the source of that moan but after that more came and when she least expected it she was feeling like others figures around her were trying to get up and as she suspected when hearing some kind of chains, the other figures collapsed and thus failing in their attempt to get up... wait what? chains? and quickly she remembered the cold and past things she felt in her hooves and that was when she began to feel scared, where was she? What had they done with her friends and her sister? why was she chained? who were those guys who had hurt the girls and apparently her and her friends too?. Lots of questions and no answers, I needed to know what was going on here. She tried to speak but her throat felt very dry and sore but she still tried to communicate as best she could with the figures around her who had done nothing so far but hoped and at the same time not that they were her friends and that they were fine. "H-hello?" - Pronounce with the little voice I had. "Hello? Rarity? Is that you?" - I heard they pronounced and it definitely sounded like their cowgirl friend Applejack. "If it's me, Applejack is it you? Are you okay?" I asked. "If Rarity is me and if I'm fine with just a little headache, are you okay?" - Applejack told me. "Yes, my dear, just like you, I have a little headache and my throat is very dry, do you know where the others are?" - Asked. "Rarity? Applejack? I'm Twilight, where are they? I don't see them" - I heard Twilight say very close to me so I lifted my front hoof that didn't have the chain and I could touch what looked like a mane and shortly after I touched a face and along with it a small cry of surprise that confirmed to me that what I was touching was the head of my Alicorn friend. "Twilight don't be scared it's me, Rarity, are you alright? - I asked. "I'm sorry that when I felt you touched me I was a little scared but if I'm fine, just a little headache" - He replied. "I still have a headache" - I heard a small whisper on my opposite side to the one Twilight was on and from how low it was heard I guessed that it must be about Flutteshy. "Aah, my head hurts too, what the hell is going on here and why can't I see anything?" - I heard that Rainbow said a little upset near where I heard Applejack. "Rainbow, calm down, we're all just as confused and hurt as you are, so there's no point in getting upset" - Applejack said. "Wow, it's really dark and gloomy here" - We listened to Pinkie who, as always, kept her optimism. "Okay girls, the 6 of us are here but the girls and Spike are missing, can anyone feel them near you?" - Twilight asked. The sounds of the chains moving began to be heard, implying that we were all starting to search near us to see if we could find something and out of nowhere we heard Twilight and Pinkie give a low scream and we all stopped looking. "Twilight, Pinkie, what's up? Are you okay? Did you find anything?" - I asked scared. "I think I found Spike, if I'm sure it's him I can feel his scales" - Twilight said excitedly. "And I think I found some bars, it seems that we are locked up, although on the other side of them you don't feel anything, it's as if there was another cell next to this one, only I can't see anything" - I heard what Pinkie said. "I'll try to give you a little light" - Twilight said and from what I assumed she's going to give us some light with her horn so to not leave her alone I tried to help her with my own horn and also give a little light. But nothing ever happened no matter how hard I tried and tried, I couldn't do even a small spark of magic and it was then that now the screams that were heard were from Twilight and me, I don't know how but I began to feel a sharp pain that went from the base of my horn to the tip and I can assume that Twilight did the same. "Rarity, Twilight, why are you yelling? What's wrong?" - I heard that Applejack and Rainbow asked us in unison alarmed. "M-my horn, m-my horn, WHAT HAPPENS? WHY DOESN'T HE RESPOND? WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH?" - I heard what Twilight said, she was upset just like me and we had our reasons, our magic didn't seem to work and every time we tried it absolutely nothing happened, we just went through great pain in that part. "How come you don't answer?" Applejack said scared. "And why does it hurt?" I listened to Fluttershy next to me. "I don't know but it seems to be a blocking ring" - Twilight said and from what she could hear in her chains she was blowing her horn. "A ring what?" Rainbow asked confused. "A blocking ring, is used on unicorns to, as its name says, block the magic of the unicorn, commonly unites with imprisoned or equally dangerous ponies to control them in their prison stadium" - Twilight explained. "But and then why do we have them, we are not dangerous ponies" - I asked a little upset lifting my helmet to confirm what Twilight was saying and yes, on my horn around the base there was a metal ring that I had barely noticed was there . "I don't know why but we need to find out now as well as where the girls are" - Said a concerned Twilight. And as if it were a signal, small moans were heard in front of us but somewhat far away and we knew that those could be the girls, so I asked. "Sweetie Belle dear, is that you?" - I asked for "Rarity? Sister, where are you? What's wrong? Why is everything so dark? And why can't I move?" - I heard my little sister said very scared so I tried to reassure her. "Sweetie, dear, calm down, yes? We still don't know what's going on or where we are, so please try to stay calm, tell me, are you okay? Are Apple Bloom and Scootaloo with you?" I asked her. I heard how her chains moved so I assumed she was looking for her friends and after a few moments she stopped moving and other small moans could be heard. "Well, I feel like there are two ponies here but I can't tell them apart even though I think they're waking up" - Sweetie Belle said. "Apple Bloom are you there?" - Applejack asked the darkness. "Mmm w-what? Applejack? Where are you? I don't see you, AAAH" - Apple Bloom was heard screaming but then my sister was heard. "Shhh quiet Apple Bloom it's me Sweetie Belle" - My sister reassured her. "Where I am?" - Scootaloo's voice was heard. "scoots!" - Rainbow exclaimed happily. "Rainbow? Where are you? I don't see you" - Scootaloo asked Rainbow. "Don't worry Scoots, as Rarity said a few moments ago we still don't know what's going on or where we are or why it's so dark but don't worry, next to you are Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, stay together and take care of each other while we try to find out where are we girls?" - I advise Rainbow to girls. "Yes Rainbow" - Pronounced the three fillies in unison. "Well, we already know where the girls are and that they're fine, so now we just have to see where we are and how to get out of here" - Twilight told the others. And out of nowhere there was a loud knock as if they had opened a very loud door, we all gave a scream of fright and from what I could hear was what woke Spike up from his unconsciousness, but now I had to concentrate on what that knock was. door and who entered. Footsteps of several helmets were heard and when they were close to us they stopped and with a small "clap" the light of the place turned on and as expected we all gasped from the hit of light in our eyes so suddenly and when we could get used to the light we all remain silent, some of fear, others of anger and others like me of surprise and curiosity since I was sure that now that I see them well I had already seen these ponies somewhere. They were the same ponies that had attacked us in the forest but I know I had seen them somewhere else I just couldn't tell where. One of them approached the now well seen cell where the girls were, me and Spike, I quickly looked for my sister and if as Pinkie had said in front of us there was another cell with the girls inside, only a wall separated us. bars. "It's about time you woke up ladies, I introduce myself my name is Needle and I hope you are comfortable since you will be here for a while or well at least one of you yes HAHAHA" - The maniac who had us kidnapped along with his henchmen laughed . Although now that I think about it that name sounds a lot to me from somewhere and his cutie mark too (It's a needle with a shiny tip, showing its sharpness and that it was possibly good at sewing) I thought and thought and... oh no. Author's Note Another chapter finished, I hope you like it. Change out. //-------------------------------------------------------// 3- Fault. //-------------------------------------------------------// 3- Fault. POV Rarity. "You? Aren't you the guy who got angry and yelled at me that I was a cheater in the canterlot haute couture competition?" I asked. "If it's me, hello again my dear miss cheater, if it weren't for you and your feminine charms and cute little dresses that don't even look good because of how much they shone I would have won fairly with my high quality outfits" - Said the subject with arrogance and disgust. "You're wrong, I just won without any of those feminine things that you say, the jury realized the quality of clothes that I make and that's why they gave me the award, aside from not offending dear but the truth is your costumes were quite pathetic they had no color and some of the seams were wrong or in places that shouldn't be put so why don't you take off these horrible chains, tell us where the exit is and we forget about all this" - I told him trying to reason with the. "HAHAHA seriously you think you're going to get away with it after you took away what was mine, I always win and no one, except a small town girl is going to take away something I want" - He said "You seriously do all this just for a silly prize? Don't you think you're going too far? - I heard Rainbow say. "Away? Hahaha naive mare you call this going far and you still haven't seen anything I have planned to do with you, who of course have nothing to do with this but thank your friend for getting you into this" -pronounced laughing. "Wait a minute from what I hear you want to get back at Rarity for beating you but something that doesn't fit here is because they attacked the girls if they wanted Rarity" - Applejack said. "That's easy, I wanted to see Rarity suffer by taking away something that she adores, her little sister, that the other two sneak into the plan was because we didn't want to draw your attention and if we let them free they would run to tell you before that we couldn't even get out of the forest so we knocked out all three of them but you came and we had no choice but to bring you all here since you knew a lot, an improvement on my plan I guess, now instead of just one victim I'm going to having 9 of them to see little Rarity suffer hahaha" - I pronounce. "ARE YOU CRAZY? It's just an insignificant award, if what you want is the award I'll give it to you but you won't do anything to my friends or my sister" - I said with anguish and anger. "You think it's so simple you little cheater, now because of you I'm the laughing stock of my family and all their associates, you better than anyone here should know that for high class ponies something like this is disappointing more considering that the one who wins is a simple village girl, so if you allow me I will start with my revenge plan" - He said with a smile on his lips. One of his henchmen approached the cell where the girls were and took off my sister's chain and then pulled her hair out of the cell causing Sweetie to scream from the pain caused by pulling her so roughly. I panicking to see that this was not a game and that we were really in danger, began to struggle with the chains that held me just as the girls did the same, seeing that it did not work, I yelled at them to leave her. "NO! wait that's fine if what you want is revenge on me that's fine, do it, but leave my friends and sister out of this, please let them go" - I screamed desperately because of the pain they were causing my little sister who was already She was out of the room and they were taking her to I don't know where, but we all kept hearing her cries of pain. "Mmm sounds tempting but I was already given the opportunity to make you suffer more than I wanted and I'm not going to waste the opportunity so no" - He said giving a signal to two other of his henchmen. "Bring the yellow Pegasus, we're going to have a little fun with her" - He said with a smile. The guys approached the cell and since we were practically immobilized we couldn't do much more than move desperately when the guys took Fluttershy out and tied her to one of the walls that had some shackles leaving her standing but immobilized. We saw how Fluttershy let out a shriek of fear when she saw that Needle approached her with a face of desire and began to caress her face and from one moment to another we saw how she began to kiss her bestially and Fluttershy only wriggled so that she would stop making contact with her. We started yelling at him to get off of him but instead of doing what we asked him we only managed to get him to level up and start touching her private parts while he didn't stop kissing her, poor Fluttershy just writhed and asked between sobs that the stop playing. When she started giving signs that she wanted to raise the level we started to yell at her louder to leave her but all she did was turn around and tell us that if we kept making noise we would only make things worse for her so the best we could do was shut up. and cry silently seeing how our friend was being raped by that psychopathic pig. When he finished abusing her, she only asked to be untied and taken back to her cell. The minions did as they were told and threw her back into the cell without any care and chained her again, Fluttershy just made herself as small as she could and cried and cried silently, the subjects just laughed at her and that was what made us burn in rage and I yelled at them to shut up even if it only earned me a direct strong blow to the face. After that, everyone left and we only had to try to comfort Fluttershy from where we were and try to reassure the 2 girls who didn't stop crying out of fear either. Some time later the earth pony that had taken Sweetie Belle came in with an unconscious Sweetie, beaten and with blood everywhere, chained her and left closing the door. Right now I felt very guilty, we were all here because of me, my little sister and one of my best friends had been hurt and I couldn't do anything, I should have been beaten and abused and not them, I just wanted to do as if all this were a dream and that when I woke up everything was fine but the reality was different, I had to do something so that we can get out of here or at least get them out of here. That night I couldn't sleep thinking about everything that was happening and how guilty I felt so since I couldn't sleep I started to come up with something to escape from here, I just hope it works. Author's Note New chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
