Rarity's Complicate

Part Two: Desolation Rarity

Pacing, panting, crying, stomping; Rarity could hardly contain her sorrow... her excitement.

Excitement?

No. No, That can't possibly-

Rarity walked down the street in the beautiful town of Ponyville. It was a gorgeous day and under almost any other circumstance, she would have commented on it as such. But today was... well, different. Different... is perhaps not the best word for it. It was ironic. It was laughing in Rarity's face: such a nice day, about to be stained with acts of greater goodness.

She arrived at the Ponyville Library. She stood there for several minutes. She said to herself, she could just leave, she had every chance to turn back and this was the last. Her last chance to perhaps, maybe, think of some other way? No. Rarity took the time and thought about it. This was, this had to be, the best chance she had.

She knocked only once. Twilight Sparkle came to the door.

"Good Afternoon Rarity. What brings you here?"

"Wha- oh. Um..."

Twilight shifted her eyes side to side and gave a nervous smile.

"Um. Rare?"

"Yes. Oh! Right, um. Twilight, I have... I mean, I would like to uh..."

"You're acting very strange Rarity. You usually know exactly what to say. Is something wrong?"

"Yes... I mean no! I just... I've... ugh... I wanted to show you some of the magic I've learned..."

"Great!"

Rarity stood there awkwardly. Twilight's eyes shifted back and forth as she waited for Rarity to perform something.

"Um. Rarity? Aren't you going to show me something?"

"Uh.... yes! Of course!"

"Well?"

"Huh? Oh I uh... I simply must show you back at the boutique. Heh..."

"I don't understand why but... if you're more comfortable there... then let's go!"

Rarity gave out a sigh of relief. The two mares walked side by side. Twilight humming a cheery tune and Rarity trying desperately not to cry.

And then they made it to the boutique.

"Please. Come inside, Twilight."

"Of course Rarity."

...

"So, Rare... what would you like to show me first?"

Rarity had her back turned away from her. She could not hold in her tears any longer. She turns and tearfully says, "I'm sorry Twilight. I'm so- s-sorry-"

"Rarity? What's going on...?"

"Incarcera Cycli Eterne."

"That spell...." she gasps, horrified, "Wait, Rarity!"

The rune circle encases Twilight sparkle. She tries desperately to get out, but the spell does not allow her to. Twilight tries to teleport out, but her magic has been negated.

"Incarcera cycli eterne... one of the nastiest spells in this book." spoke Rarity, calm, but masking her feeling of devastation.

"I know it well. But I never touched it and would never expect you to, let alone use it on me. Rarity, what's going on?"

"I..." She looks away, " I can't explain it."

Twilight's eyes widened. She didn't know what was going to happen.

"What.... what are you going to do with me?"

"..."

Rarity did not answer. She merely levitated a kitchen knife and held it pointed right towards Twilight.

"Wait! Rarity! Stop, please! Just tell me what's wrong. We're friends, remember? The very best of friends!"

"... You're right Twilight. We are the very best of friends."

Twilight gave a smile. She thought she had gotten through to Rarity. Then her eyes widened as she felt the knife being pushed into her chest.

"Rarity. No. Please! Please.... stop... no.. somepony.... h-help..."

Twilight sparkle fell to the floor. Rarity broke the spell circle and watched Twilight bleed out in front of her.

Rarity walked away. She did not know what to do next.

"Stupid, stupid Rarity!! I should have thought this through. ... Goodbye, Twilight."

She makes her way to the exit. When a knock comes to the door.

"Um. Rarity? It's me. Fluttershy. C-can I come in?"

Rarity panicked for a second, then realized the potential.

"Of course, ... darling... come on in!"

Fluttershy walked in and screamed when she saw Twilight's body. Fluttershy tried to run away but Rarity's magic caught her and dragged her inside.

"No! Please, don't hurt me!"

Rarity tied ropes around her hooves and broke her wings. She left her in the middle of the boutique floor and went outside.

"Rarity! Wait!! Don't leave me in here! Please let me go!"

Rarity looked back at her and said, "... I'm sorry Fluttershy."

Rarity used her magic and broke every support beam in her house. The Crystal Boutique came tumbling down on Fluttershy.

Rarity pressed on. She had to find the rest of her friends before anypony notices what she has done.

"Rarity!"

"Rainbow Dash?"

"Rarity! You have to come see this!"

"Well, what is it?"

"It's your home! It's totally been destroyed!"

"... Let's go then."

Rarity and Rainbow Dash galloped to the shop.

"What happened Rarity?"

"I'm not sure. I... wait, do you see that?" She points toward the crumbled boutique.

"See... what?"

"I think... no." Rarity's eyes widen inconspicuously.

"What is it? What's wrong?"

"I think Fluttershy's still in there! I had her over for lunch!"

"I'll save her!" Rainbow dashed toward the Boutique, intent on saving her friend. The moment she came within range, a large, sharp piece of wood impaled Rainbow Dash, moved with Rarity's magic.

"R-Rarity..."

"Don't talk Rainbow Dash. You'll die faster." Rainbow let out a whimper.

"Wh-what are you doing... help..."

"For the record, Fluttershy was in there. And Twilight Sparkle."

Rainbow dash tried to let out a scream but blood poured out of her mouth, preventing her from doing so.

"Rainbow Dash... I.. I really am sorry. But this has to be done." She levitates the knife and slices her throat. Rainbow dash dies and hangs on the jagged beam for everypony to see.

Rarity, however, gets away before anypony actually sees her. The police are called over once one does see, and a whole excavation team works on recovering any possible bodies in the boutique. They think they're looking for Rarity. Well, they soon will be, anyway.

Rarity walks over to Sugarcube Corner to deal with Pinkie Pie. She's stopped crying now and is completely reserved and calm.

"Hey Rarity, what's up?"

"Hello, Pinkie Pie. and, Mr. and Mrs. Cake,"

"Hey there!" "Hello."

"So what have you been up to?"

"Well, I was planning this HUGE party for all of our friends later today. Do you wanna help with the preparations?"

"Um... well, yes of course..."

"Ooh! And then we can think of the music-"

"I think..."

"And the games we should play-"

"Pinkie..."

"And the food-"

"Uh fillies?"

"Yes?" answered Pinkie and Rarity

"Come look at this. There's a report."

This just in. The Crystal Boutique, home of the Equestrian famous designer, Rarity, has just been found demolished, with her best friend Rainbow Dash, a pony who aspired to be Captain of the Wonderbolts team, found dead, impaled by a support beam.

Everypony gasps, even Rarity.

Excavation teams are working overtime to find any signs of life inside the building. Now, here with us is Chief of Police, Steel Stripes.

Thank you. After considerable investigation CSI has concluded that this building did not fall by accident, rather it was sabotaged by a unicorn.

Mrs. Cake watched, growing concerned and mentioned something to her husband. Rarity only caught a few words. "... the boutique.... accident... unicorn.... Rarity..."

In that same instant, Mrs. Cake threw up large amounts of blood. Rarity had stabbed her in the back with one of their kitchen knives. Mr. Cake screamed out for Pinkie Pie, who had left to the bakery to get some cupcakes, to run away as fast as she could. She did not hear him. Pinkie came into the room to see the ponies that gave her a home laying there, dead in their own blood. The devastated Pinkie Pie could not even move. Rarity walked up to her. She didn't even apologize this time.

Rarity made her way out the door and-

This just in. There are now known to be three missing ponies in Ponyville. Recent arrival Twilight Sparkle from Canterlot, residing in the town Library and Fluttershy longtime resident and native of Cloudsdale. And Rarity, owner and resident of the Crystal Boutique. We expect to find the three bodies under the wreckage. We are working with haste now, to hopefully find them before they die.

Rarity was far in the outskirts of Ponyville now. Near Sweet Apple Acres.

It was night time now. For some reason, Rarity did not want to kill her last best friend in the dark. She thought this was a daytime thing. She was unaware of her own feelings on this matter, for it made no sense to wait until morning, except to see the look on Applejack's face when Rarity comes for her.

Applejack, Applebloom, Big MacIntosh and Granny Smith were all sitting near the television when they heard the horrible news. Rainbow Dash found dead near the Crystal Boutique and Pinkie Pie's splattered remains found in her home, among the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity missing and presumed dead under the boutique. Then a knock at the door. Applejack expected the police mares to come by. She is good friends with the ponies in question after all. She was surprised then, to not see a police mare, but Rarity. Her surprise quickly turned to horror. Applejack was not stupid. Not in the least. She knew how to put events together.

"Rarity. How are you here? Why..."

Applejack's face descended into maddening delight, delighted Rarity, terror, yes terror as she realized what Rarity had done.

"Your home was destroyed by a unicorn... by you... you're the one who killed Rainbow Dash!"

"Yes. And Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie... Mr. and Mrs. Cake."

"And now you've come for me. Y-you finally snapped huh Rarity?" challenged Applejack, who kept a steady face, even though she was trembling inside.

Big MacIntosh stepped up beside her. He made himself seem bigger to Rarity, a feat not too difficult for the large stallion. Applebloom and Granny Smith were shaking in the corner with each other, far away from the menace at the door.

"Snapped. What a crude way of putting it. No, I am doing this..." Rarity looked down. No. I won't explain myself to you. Just know that-"

"Get out of here Rarity. We have you outnumbered."

"Applejack. AJ darling..."

Applejack's memories of their friendship flooded her mind. Applejack had a hard time concentrating on the situation, remembering the lovely past the two mare had shared. And the blade was merely a shimmer of silver, the red liquid looked remarkable against her orange coat. Big MacIntosh rammed himself into Rarity, and, her being of a smaller stature, was careened out of the room. Big MacIntosh yelled out at her in new, unprecedented frustration, "You're gonna rot in prison for that. She, they were your best friends. No words, Rarity. No words at all."

"You just spoke several you... never mind. My work here is done." whispering, to herself now, "My loved ones are all dead now..."

Big MacIntosh had overheard this. "Something doesn't add up. Why did you kill them? Why... you're loved ones..." Suddenly it dawned on them. The apples could have been detective had they also not been so damn good at farming. They were a sharp bunch, but unfortunately not as quick as the magic of a unicorn. Applebloom and Granny Smith were left cowering in fear, the smell of their kins' blood filling the room as Rarity exited and made her way towards the Ever Free forest.

This just in. Chief of Police Steel Stripes in with new information.

"Thank you. The Boutique has been searched thoroughly. The bodies of Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash have been discovered... however, Cloudsdale native Fluttershy has been rescued, alive. She is in the hospital and recovering from several critical wounds.
