The Rocking Horses of Ponyville

Twilight sobbed in pain and horror as the hide on her face had been peeled away from her skull and applied to the blank rocking horse. "you're a monster!!" she screamed at Mel, who was turning to Applejack.

"Hello, Applesack. It's your turn, but I don't know which parts to use," she said thoughtfully as if contemplating the best way to carve a turkey.

"Where's my Applebloom!?" Applejack shouted angrily. Mel seemed to think for a moment.

"just a moment. Keta! Make sure these don't get away!" she said, leaving the room. Ketamina had tears in her eyes, seeming torn between continuing to help Mel and freeing the others. They heard the sound of hoarse screaming before Mel returned, dragging a bloody burlap sack. She dumped the sack's contents in front of Applejack, who gasped and then screamed in horror: it was the skinless form of a filly, Applebloom.

"APPLEBLOOM!!!" Applejack shouted, trying to inch closer to the sticky, red thing that was her sister.

"A-Applejack... k-kill me...." the thing said hoarsely, weakly reaching a hoof out to her sister.

Applejack's eyes were swimming with tears at the sight of her skinless sister. "Applebloom..." Mel magically unchained Applejack and transfigured them into a pipe wrench.

"you heard her, didn't you?" Mel said menacingly, pushing the pipe wrench towards her.

"y-you can't be serious..." Applejack said, mortified.

"u-uhm, M-Mel, that's actually kind of fucked up, aren't you taking it too far...?" Ketamina whispered to her friend. Mel held Ketamina's face gently.

"don't worry, Keta. I know what I'm doing." Ketamina's eyes filled with tears as she watched Mel drop the pipe wrench into Applejack's hooves.

"do it." Mel demanded softly.

"A-Applejack, I-I think it the best thing to do... Applebloom is in pain, and it's better to put her out of her misery..." Rainbow Dash said shakily.

Applejack looked down at her skinless sister, who was rasping helplessly. "S-Sugarcube, I- I'm sorry...." Applejack lifted her sister onto her chest so Applebloom could lean against her. Applejack then took the pipe wrench and set it over Applebloom's throat. "I love you, Applebloom..." With a violent jerk of the pipe wrench, Applejack snapped Applebloom's neck with a dull pop! before bursting into tears, the lifeless, skinless Applebloom sliding to the floor. Applejack was suddenly chained up again, and Mel held up a scalpel.

"you did it wrong, you stupid country bumpkin..." she muttered.

"what do you mean I did it wrong, you evil bitch!?" Applejack screamed furiously.

"you were supposed to hit her over the head until her head looked like a punch bowl," Mel said quietly. Mel magically lifted Applejack into the air so her rump was in the air before taking a scalpel to both her flanks.

"you should be grateful you didn't end up like your sister," Mel said as she cut two lines down Applejack's hind legs, cut the hide from them both, and applied them to the wooden dummy. "nice and pretty," Mel said maliciously. Mel turned to Rainbow Dash. "your turn, Skittles."
