Dark Calling

Chapter 2: Awakening

The cult ponies, as Rainbow Dash had decided to call them, had dragged her up on to the roof and mounted her cross and her on the peak of the bell tower. She could see that they had gathered in a semicircle with Twilight’s beaten and tied up form thrown rather unceremoniously in to the center. Rainbow Dash would have said something but the way the chains on her forelegs pulled upwards on her chest made it hard for her to breath.

“Why are you doing this?” Twilight managed to croak out, the statement obviously directed at her deranged brother.

“Two years ago when the changelings attacked my wife died! All hope seemed lost but then the U.C.o.E. makes first contact and paints the streets of Canterlot green with their blood. Everypony was so busy making peace with the humans that not a fuck was given about my loss!” Shining Armor exclaimed. Thinking back Rainbow Dash saw that she wasn’t a very good friend her best friend’s brother’s wife had been murdered and the next day she was trying to race a F-82 ultra sonic atmospheric fighter plane. “Well that doesn’t matter now! For tonight our master will be free, and lead us to immortality!” The obviously insane stallion screamed.

Call me a communist, but everyone burns before me whether they worship me or are prim and proper citizens. No the will regret crossing us and nothing will save them. The voice in her head stated.

At that moment one of the cult’s Pegasie kicked a cloud sending a lightning bolt down striking the metal cross, which brunt unnaturally hot, in that moment every thing changed.

Rainbow Dash awoke on the church roof having fallen from the bell tower, and right away she knew all was not right, she saw in tunnel vision, and she had a unbearable hunger. Physically she could hardly be called a pony any more, her mane and tail was now a colour shifting fire, her wings were akin to those of a dragon, she had a mouth with sharp carnivorous teeth, and two cured ram like horns coming out of the sides of her head. She got up feeling more power in her legs than ever before, and began to stalk towards the cult, however with the intense hunger the best she could do was stagger forward. “Feed master on the sacrifice we have brought you!” Shining Armor said gesturing towards Twilight. Yes feed, then slaughter them. The voice commanded. Twilight watched in horror as the now blood red eyes of what had once been her friend locked on to her.

Rainbow Dash pounced and sunk her fangs into the right hind leg of a terrified Twilight Sparkle and pulled, the flesh tore, the bone popped out of the socket, and blood spattered across the roof. She would have screamed if she wasn’t so trans fixed on the sight of her friend striping flesh of the bone of her leg, and consuming it like a starved animal. Rainbow Dash turned back to Twilight now with a familiar confident smile on her face then with one flap of her massive wings she propelled herself high into the sky.

Rainbow Dash flew high and fast, she impaled the cult Pegasus with her horns ripping through it’s body allowing a severed intestine to fall free, the she whipped the misfortunate creature to the ground where it made a messy splatter. Now the fun begins, release your rage! The voice in her head insisted. Before the ponies on the roof could react Rainbow Dash rained fire from her lungs burning many of the cultists. Then she plummeted down and pinned a cultist that was trying to escape down and slammed her free front hoof down on the cult pony shattering it like glass and killing it instantly. She was trying to think of where Shining Armor could have escaped to when she herd a groan.

She turned to she Twilight, and she blinked, her rage cooled, the black pulsating veins of power shrank back in to her head, her eyes turned back to their natural rose colour, and her mane and tail died down from a raging inferno to something more akin to a pilot light. “Sorry Twi I lost control” she said in her normal but saddened voice. She then headed down into the church below.

Farther Montgomery sat in the confession booth he had been barricaded into by the cult. Suddenly the booth door next to him opened and something sat down in it. What ever it was caused an odd multi coloured light to shine through the grate. “Father…” began Rainbow Dash as she explained the nights events. “I want to use my powers to do good please help me.” she finished.

After a long pause Father Montgomery replied “as a priest it is my job to help rid the world of evil and you want to rid the world of evil so it’s my duty to help you, unblock the door and quickly hide in the crypt, the authorities will be here soon and I have a dying mare I need to try to help.

How can you rid the world of evil when you are the greatest evil? The voice called out. With that said the stage was set!
