Arranged Marriages at the Crystal Empire

Twilight depressingly scrubbed away at the rusty pipes, flapping her wings as she struggled to maintain her balance on the glinting factory floors. It amazed her that the workers actually let her work here, honored the real Twilight Sparkle would want to help kill the failures.

It had been a week since she was let in, being forced to sleep in dorms smaller then the ones Rarity gave her and only being allowed to eat flesh and blood of ponies she killed. Twilight refused each time, becoming more and more frail as she denied food and water.

She had to keep working, she needed to see what Cadence wrote to her, she knew it was extremely important, the update meant everything to her, more then other lives to her, she had to stay strong. Rarity would not win this.

"What's with all the slow work? scrub faster!" the factory boss, who was just referred to as "boss" and "miss" demanded, grabbing Twilight's hoof and forcing her to clean at an alarming speed.

Already, Twilight felt her muscles weakening as she tried her best to keep up, exhaustion overtaking her. "Please stop." Twilight panted. "I've cleaned all day, I clean at home too, ALL I DO IS CLEAN!"

"You'll be cleaning the maggots off your hooves in hell once I grind you up into a fucking pulp, NOW GET BACK TO WORK!" The boss ordered, scaring Twilight, but for another reason. As boss began to rant and rave about her poor performance, Twilight noticed some hair sticking out of the black cloak.

"Wait.." Twilight stuttered, she only knew one pony in all of Equestria with rainbow, spiky hair like that. "RAINBOW DASH!?" She gasped in horror, yanking off the hood of Boss. "You-b-but YOU KILLED YOURSELF!"

"Oh shit...I KNEW I SHOULDVE WORN A MASK!" Dash shrieked, trying to pull her black hood back over her head. "For fucks sakes Twilight, why did you have to start working here in the first place? ignoring you was one of the hardest things to do in my life!"

"How about you explain why you faked your death back at the crystal empire first." Twilight threatened. "Or ill let everybody here know your past."

"Urgh..fine." Rainbow hoofpalmed, grueling over the true story of her death. "Look, I didn't want you getting married, I was so grossed out that you and Fluttershy married Rarity's brother, it was too weird! that and Rainbine completely fucked over my life," she began.

"How so?" Twilight rose a quizzical brow. Rainbow Dash lowered her wings in defeat, looking up at Twilight helplessly. "I-Rainbine shoots up schools everyday, not to mention she looks exactly like me. Ponies began linking me to her crimes, and I got kicked out of the wonderbolts."

"What?" Twilight shot back. "Wh..Why didn't you tell any of us?"

"I knew I'd just be laughed at, or blamed for not stopping her. Then when she turned Rarity pyscho I gave up on my friends. Im not the element of loyalty anymore Twi, I failed."

Twilight closed her mouth, taking in Rainbows confession, unsure of what to say next. "Jeez I..I felt the same when Cadence betrayed me, too. BUT it doesn't excuse you for faking your suicide, thats fucked up!"

"Yeah, maybe. But I had to do what I had to do. I couldn't stop Rarity or Rainbine, I decided fuck it, i'll just run a factory where I kill everybody. That's all I was called when Rainbine was at her prime, a killer."

"But Rainbine shot up schools and killed ponies immediately, your slowly torturing them and GRINDING them into tubes! like objects like.."

"Resources? heh, yeah. That's my thing now." Rainbow dismissed. "Now get back to work Twilight, we have a new shipment coming in, and that means containing for pegasi from escaping their cells."

Twilight couldn't believe it, Rainbow had lied to her and everybody! just because she was ashamed of her life! how selfish, she knew Rainbow was always concerned with her reputation and cool status, but this was insane!

"Mm. The only person that will be getting back to work now is Twilight, Rainbow Dick." Rarity smirked, trotting down the metal isles as if she owned the place.

"Wh-RARITY!? HOW DID YOU GET UP HERE!" Rainbow Dash screamed, horrorfied. "Twilight, you led her here to expose me didn't you? YOU BITCH!"

"No Dash, she came here herself!" Twilight protested. "Seriously Rarity, why are you here?"

Rarity's eyes glinted a new malice. "Me? well i'm glad you asked. See, I took over the crystal empire, so I don't need your job anymore, I was going to come and steal you away, but I happened to here somepony lied to me.."

"Alright yeah, I made a plushie of myself and you guys thought it was my dead body.." Rainbow admitted. Rarity was beyond livid. "SO I MADE A DICK SOCK FOR MY BROTHER WITH FAKE, SHITTY MATIERALS?"

"Rarity, you were happy Rainbow died! why are you even mad the real her is standing infront of you?" Twilight demanded, shooing the unicorn away from her friend.

"Because I hate liars NOBODY FUCKS WITH ME AND GETS AWAY WITH IT." Using her strong as steel hooves, Rarity slammed them into the pipe, causing acidic Rainbows to leak down the ground. "EAHH! stay back, that stuff will burn you Twi!"

"Why do the walls have to be so cramped?" Twilight cried out. "We could've flown out of here!" Rainbow gave her a guilty look. "So can prisoners.."

"IDIOTS!" Rarity FLASHED from across the room, not caring her flesh was being burned away as she stepped closer to them. "I WILL HAVE BOTH OF YOU FUCKING KILLED."

"Why me!?" Twilight begged, seeing the rainbow water close her and Dash into a tight space. Rarity shot them a cold, hateful glance, then looked at the grinder. "Mm..I might have an idea."

"What the hell is she thinking!?" Dash murmured. Twilight shrugged, afraid to even speak. Rarity raised a charred and burning hoof as she got another creative endeavor. "Oh Twilight~ i'll let you live if you shove Dashie here into the grinder, KILLING HER FOR REAL."

"NOOO I WONT!" Twilight screamed, unable to imagine Rainbow dying a second time. "YES DO IT OR ILL kill both of you." Rarity laughed, slamming her hoof into more pipes, causing the water to start flooding the area. Trapped on a balcony she couldn't fly off of, Twilight knew this was it.

"Twi, don-" Dash began. Twilight's eyes filled up with tears. "Your already dead to me, im sorry dash." Slamming her hooves, which were much stronger than Rainbows given she was an alicorn she blasted Rainbow onto the grinder, unable to close her eyes as the pegasi met her fate.

"AHHHEHHHHH!!" Rainbow squealed, her back hooves and lower backside being crushed as bones began to splinter out of her body, causing her the worst pain she's ever felt in her life. Blood squirted out of the machine left and right, covering Rarity in it.

"Careful where you cum, dumbfuck." RARITY LAUGHED AS IF THIS WAS A JOKE. "ITS NOT CUM ITS BLOOD RAINBOW IS DYING!" Twilight fell to her knees, seeing Rainbows skull finally be crushed, causing the machine to jam once and for all. "Pegasus device? more like rarity device." rarity stated.

"I HATE YOU RARITY! YOU MADE ME KILL MY FRI-" Twilight choked on her words as she saw Rarity carefully plop the untouched scroll into her hooves. "Wh-CADENCES LETTER!" she gasped in surprised, tearing it open immediately.

Her eyes darted word from word, almost making her dizzy as she skimmed through it. Her mind was overcome with shock from Rainbows second death, and the fact Rarity had kept a promise for once. Reading it, Twilight's eyes grew more and more wide, her jaw dropping.

Hello, we are sending this letter to all relatives of El Cadences friends and family. Your "freind" was not a friend to us, as she betrayed her own organization. Tricking us and climbing the ranks, she told another cartel about our plans so we killed her. Here's a picture, this isn't fake, and we did this :) ;) :D

Twilight's eyes shifted down to the picture they had half-hazardly taped on the bottom, sealed and glowing in the factory's red lighting. Cadence had been decapitated, Her head propped inside a cooler, covered in makeup. Those cartel ponies surrounded it laughing.

"No.." Twilight whispered, knowing the gore was unmistakable real. "She can't...YOU SAID CADENCE WROTE ME BACK!" Twilight shouted, pointing at the heart-wrenching image of Cadences corpse.

"I didn't say she wrote you back, I said it was from her country Darling." Rarity laughed. "I warned you at the wedding, did you forget? I was hesitant to give it to you because it was too much to handle."

Twilight's memory flashed back to sitting at the rows of seats, arguing with Rarity about it. She wasn't lying, she had warned Twilight. What she had thought were just words thrown out to further get under her fur was a genuine warning...

"So this entire time Cadence has been dead? since before the wedding?" Twilight mumbled, her eyes twitching.

"Yes." Rarity replied blankly. "I..what's the point." Twilight fell to her haunches, staring at the grinder. "Rainbow, I'm coming with you, goodbye, this world SUCKED!"

"Wait are you act-" Rarity paused, seeing Twilight leap into the grinder without hesitation, refusing to scream as it swallowed her whole, her belly landed on it first, folding her over and shredding her flesh, purple spraying all over Rarity. Her blood bubbled over every side of the steel tank, drenched in her and Rainbow's blood.

"How overdramatic. What the fuck ever, I guess all I have now really is Fluttershy and the others.." Rarity picked up the discarded scroll, admiring their work. "I'll say, this is quite a creative way to kill somepony. I think I have a new idea.."
