I shall not lose again.
Rarity was ready. When Vanity was no longer in front of her she remained calm. She dodged out of the way of the strike from behind her.
Vanity continues forward, propelling herself and turning the maneuver into a whirling kick that broadsides Rarity as she follows the across the face. Rarity stumbled back as she dodged the follow up strike.
She countered with her rapier to which Vanity blocked with two of her blades.
'Push through.'
Vanity's eyes widened in surprised when one of her blades broke . "What? How?"
"You take poor care of your blades. These eyes of mine can see many things down to the smallest detail. Weaknesses will not escape my eye." She was of course not going to reveal that she had managed to train and mastered her mastery over gemstones. The tiny fragment of gemstones were embedded into Vanity's blades and using her magic to trigger them Rarity caused the blade to shatter.
She had to be careful not to be to careless unless she wanted Vanity to somehow catch on to her technique. She only had enough fragments to do this a few more times.
Rarity went to strike again only for Vanity to catch the blade once more. "Come now. Don't tell me for all your talk of finesse this is all you can do?"
"Don't celebrate too fast," Rarity says before jerking out of the way of one of Vanity's blades before firing a bolt of magic into Vanity's head.
Vanity taken completely by surprise falls back, swiftly moving into a reverse somersault to regain her footing.
"With your brutish tactics this battle won't last long."
Vanity's horn began to glow. "Well then, let's see what you got." She fired off a series of magical bolts and began charging at Rarity. Vicious and deadly Vanity was showing a surprising increase in sword play skills from their last bout, but she would not let that throw her off her guard.
The sound of metal clang as they continued their battle across the city. Rarity being careful not to leave a single opening as they dashed down the street. Their blades met as they clashed in the air for a brief moment before dropping down.
Whipping up debris Vanity began hurling them at Rarity who would slide and duck behind cover, peeking out to fire magical bolts at Vanity.
Using her magic she began summoning gemstones nearby. Thankfully being in Canterlot the bountiful jewels were a plenty.
She hurled a storm of them at Vanity who used four of her swords fused together by the blades in the form of a barrier to deflect them.
Running forward, her blade dragging on the ground making noise and causing sparks she charged and slammed the blade into the ground where Rarity was for a brief second.
Narrowly dodging the strike Rarity fired a cutting spell at Vanity who twisted under and fired her own nicking Rarity on her cheek.
Rarity let out a pained hiss and fired a flurry of furious spells. Vanity danced around them with the grace of a ballerina before charged again to which Rarity caught the mare with an unsuspected maneuver. Using her magic she maneuver her harden ribbons forward like a projectile and stabbed into Vanity's exposed gut.
The unicorn doubled over in pain."Aah. So vicious. Love it. I absolutely love it." She raised her sword and brought it down with a slam causing a shockwave to blow away the tables and debris as a crack fissure formed in the ground. Rarity dodged out of the way dropping closer to a danger zone.
With a flick of her horn she sent a flurry of gemstone fragments with lethal accuracy hitting the vital spots of many of the changelings.
The nearby guards looked up in awe. "Would you kind sirs mind vacating the area? I believe things are going to get messy."
Having already seen the destruction being caused by Laughter's and Honesty's battles throughout the city the guard members did not want to get caught up ad ablidge. A freak like Vanity was well above their pay grade.
"Cute. You think you can save the little cocks. I'll assure you I'll carve up real good in time." Vanity said as she poised her sword at Rarity. "This is where the fun begins!" The speed at which she began to move out proved a bit faster than Rarity was expecting.
The blow to the back of her head caused her to stumble. The attempt to retaliate failed as a lightning fast kick to the gut followed up the vicious. She stepped up the pace as she began rattling blows through Rarity's defense faster than the mare could react.
This was just like last time. She was being bombarded with attacks faster than she could comprehend.
'Calm down and think.' She chanted through the pain. Her beautiful lush lips were slowly being coated by her own blood.
Vicious. Powerful. Fast. Vanity seemed so strong, but she lacked in one thing. In one thing that Rarity had as a distinct vantage of the killer.
Her keen mind.
Another blow, this time a flying midair kick that, makes her stagger. Vanity was toying with her. Underestimating her instead of going for lethal strikes.
This would be her downfall.
Vanity is laughing freely now, enjoying the feeling of her blows resounding through the beautiful body of the unicorn mare.
She goes in for another strike only for Rarity to shift and allow Vanity to impale her shoulder onto Rarity's rapier.
Vanity's own speed had been used against her, having moved to fast to avoid impaling herself. She let out a hiss of pain as many sharp stabbing pains suddenly began occurring in her wound.
Breaking the sword shield Vanity sent them hurtling at Rarity focusing on rapid fire slashes to which the Unicorn needed to put all her focus into defending against them.
She clutches at the wound and growls deep in her throat at the mare.
When one of her blades charged forth Rarity caught the tip of her blade with her own and seconds later the blade shattered.
Vanity recalled her blades. "How? How the hell are you doing this?"
"You have little care for technique. Your followed into a predictable pattern to which I simply predicated the next attack and let you do the rest. As for your sword well…it would not be wise of me to give away all my secrets."
"Oh, such a coy little thing. I think I'll preserve you as part of my collection."
"You are a ghastly being. I shall put an end to your madness."
Vanity is suddenly a foot away from Rarity who reacts in time to block her strike and using her magic score a hit on Vanity's chest. Catapulted back Vanity was not detoured as she grabbed one of the blades out of her aura as the other two floated behind her. Landing on her right foot Vanity skidded back.
"Now my precious little treasure. Time to trim off some of the unneeded weight so you'll fit into my carry on." The four swords began to glow with magic. With that she slashed all four swords letting out four streams of energy that separated into hundreds of mini magic daggers.
Vanity watched as Rarity disappeared behind the shower of magical little knives. She let out a cackle of glee. "Oh my I might have gone a little overboard. Oh I do hope there's enough for my little proje-eck." Vanity looked down to see sticking from out of her stomach was the Rapier. She began coughing up blood as she could feel herself going into shock.
"You let your guard down. Sneaking under your attack through the ground was easy with all the devastation you caused through the area." For somepony who spent a good deal of time digging for gems the act of digging quickly and extensively was childsplay for her, especially when she was using gems themselves as tools to tunnel through.
Rarity pulled back her rapier with a yank. "You speak of art as if you know what it means to be an artist. You are a vicious killer with an obsession. Nothing more. I will not allow you to continue hurting others or disgracing art in the way you do."
Vanity began to cackle as she hold her wound. "Art? What do I know of art? Much more than you…oh the pain…the cruelty…the dark embrace of life's tragedy…"
"…a tragedy that should have been avoided…" a third voice added surprising the two combatants.
"I'm sorry Vanity," Twinkleshine sighed, trying to comfort the disappointed filly. The filly's mothers was once again on another one of her 'important meeting with clients' and missed out on the exhibition they had at school.
Vanity had been looking forward to her mother coming to the school to show off her art project.
It seemed nowadays Twinkleshine had was spending more time babysitting Vanity than the filly's mother had spent raising her.
"Well Vanity I guess we're ordering a pizza and playing some board games tonight." She said in an attempt to cheer the filly up. Yo would think considering her mother worked in a museum she would pay more consideration to her artiste of a daughter. Especially considering her talent was in that of making sculptures and that style of art was currently in.
"I guess while mom is handling things, we're stuck together." Vanity gave her own sigh, but a second later realized the implication of her words. "I mean, not, you know, together…" her face flushed, and she scooted away from her babysitter's side. mentors side. Vanity was already at the age where she was developing into a mare and among those emerging feelings was a strong fondness and appreciation for Twinkleshine.
Her only friend. Her beautiful, kind, older babysitter. She was everything to Vanity. Everything to the skinny, gangly, and awkward art nerd who had a mother with a reputation.
Vanity began to feel awkward. "I-I'm sorry…I'll leave."
"Where do you think you're going?" Twinkleshine used her magic to grab Vanity by her dress and pull her back into a playful hug. "Nah-uh little miss. It wouldn't be professional of me to let you out of my sight."
Vanity couldn't help but blush. Twinkleshine's gesture left her speechless, for the moment. She wasn't sure what she should say, or do... She looked to Twinklshine, the uncertainty evident on her face.
"You should smile more Vanity. I don't like that a sweet filly like you doesn't smile more."
"No one... usually compliments me." A shiver ran through her, though it wasn't cold. "I know that you tell me my art is good and I'm talented, but it's not the same thing." she paused, trying to work out how to explain what she meant. "Besides, I'm not pretty." she blinked, and a tear rolled down her left cheek.
Twinkleshine grimaced. Often times when she watched Vanity the mare would get absorbed into her work. They would began to talk and Vanity would start to go off on some little tangent and then... just stop. She would get this look in her eye, then quit for the day and go off by herself. Twinkleshine would always let her go. It wasn't her business to pry. She would be there whenever the filly needed her. She could only hope that whatever was bothering her was something the mare could work out.
"Let's go to our special spot outside of town. Just you and me Vanity? You can bring your art supplies? Would you like that?" she asked as the filly pondered it for a bit before shaking her head.
It turned out to be the one mistake Twinkleshine would make that would continue to hunt the both of them.
If you don't want to see this darkness scroll down to the next line/section break.
"Bone! Please don't!" Twinkleshine pleaded. Of all the ponies they could have run into why did it had to be Bone in his friends?
She knew what this was about. Twinkleshine being a mare of integrity had informed the dean of the academy of Bone and his friends using illegal performance enhancing drugs. She wasn't sure how Bone found out, but he seemed intent on getting his revenge.
Which was why she was stripped naked and pinned to the ground.
The terrifying feeling of hard cock pressed against her back made her fur stand on edge. "Don't do this! At least let Vanity go! SHE'S JUST A CHILD BONE!" She screamed and she shivered in disgust as the cock started to move downwards; she stopped feeling it entirely until a hot stab penetrated her unprepared pussy. The sudden pain caused Twinkleshine to let out an unexpected shriek of distress that would go unheard with them being so far from town.
The sharp pain coursed through her as she began to bleed.
The balls of the stallion raping her made an audible slap each time he rammed into the defenseless mare. She grit her teeth like a brave mare, tears welled up in her eyes while she was incessantly fucked against her will; even if she wanted to she couldn't pull away as the stallions from the herd had her pinned.
Tears streamed down her face as the pain from the vicious assault intensified. Then Vanity's shriek caught her attention.
"SHE'S JUST A CHILD! DON'T!" She sobbed as they readied to give the filly the same treatment as her.
She could only watch in horror as they stole the innocence from Vanity the same as her. Vanity's eyes pleading to Twinkleshine in both confusion and pain.
With one final, deep push the Stallion let out a long satisfied groan and filled her with as much cum as he could muster. Her ill-treated insides were flooded by his sticky semen.
Same and helplessness filled Twinkleshine as she was mounted by another stallion.
Two weeks had passed before Twinkleshine was let out of the hospital. Between all the procedures and the questioning she was exhausted. She didn't even have the will to go back to school. There were already nasty rumors about her being a whore being spread.
After all it was her word against a bunch of stallions and nopony in country towns would bring serious charges against stallions if they could help it because of the slim pickings. The fact that Bone was leaving because a scout for boxing talent had noticed him and was granting him a chance at a prestigious school filled Twinkleshine with righteous fury. Now more than ever she was spurred to get her degree so scum like Bone wouldn't get away with what they did.
'Vanity. I hope she's okay.' Twinkleshine thought as she went over to the filly's house. To her disgust it turned out that Vanity's mother was out of town on business and left her daughter alone. How could anyone be so self-absorbed, so selfish? "Vanity…Vanity you here?" Having her own key Twinkleshine had let herself in. "Vani?" She heard the sound of something and it came from the basement. "Vani its me. Twinkle?" She opened the door to the basement and made her way downstairs. "Van…" she trailed off into silent horror. She hadn't placed the strange scent because of the strong smell of the various art supplies, but now she wished she had. The scene would remain forever in Twinkleshine's head.
The horrific scene was the mangled bodies of the Stallion herd that assaulted her.
One whose entrails were a painting. Another a sculpture. And…oh Celestia… Twinkleshine hurled. Just everyway she looked was a horrifying canopy of mangled body parts. The coppery liquid of the blood splatter had practically been bled out of the stallions to the point the small basement floor could have been mistaken for red stone floor and not the blackish-blue it actually was.
"Vanity…what did you do?"
"They hurt us Twinkle. They did things to us. Made us dirty. Made you dirty. Filthy. Filthy. Disgusting creatures. They'll never hurt another mare again…" Then she smiled. Smiled such a light hearted, innocent smile. It was too much. Twinkleshine had fled.
"Twinkle…I loved you. You were everything to me and you abandoned me." Vanity's expression became depressed, a haunted expression in her eyes.
"Vanity…you…you needed help. I couldn't help you. I'm sorry."
A bitter chuckle escaped Vanity's lips. "Why apologize? You're here now. The ultimate center piece. My most sought after piece. You and I will be together FOREVER!" Vanity charged forward completely forgetting about Rarity.
This was it. The moment she needed. Rarity shot forward alongside Vanity as her horn began to glow.
Pain gripped Vanity as she could feel herself slowing down. Rarity appeared between her and Twinkleshine. "OUT OF MY WAY!" Vanity hurled all of her blades at the mare who stood her ground.
The gemstones that were being levitated by Rarity's magic began to combine with her rapier. The rough gems were awash with magic as they began to combine and smooth out to create a single fine blade.
In the blink of an eye and flash it was all over. Rarity gently rested her rapier's edge on the ground as Vanity's armor and weapons shattered. Vanity collapsed on the ground.
Twinkleshine walked over and kneeled down next to the fallen mare. "If I…if I had stayed could this have all been avoided? Vanity…I'm sorry. I'm sorry about not being strong enough to protect you. You…you were always such a fragile child. I should…I should have…" she rested her forehead against Vanity's as the tears began to fall.
"I am sorry miss Twinkleshine but we must hurry." Rarity gently urged her.
Alarmed by something shooting up into the sky Rarity briefly noticed it was some sort of gem before it shot off. That pull. The others were calling hurry. "We must hurry and get you to safety. My friends are going to need me as soon as possible." She urged as she glanced at Vanity.
A mare so consumed by her obsession. She cared about her art and being loved above all else. She never took time to love and appreciate herself for who she was. She let her obsession with outer beauty rule her. It unnerved Rarity to the end that she could she shades of herself in this mare. She had briefly wondered what would have become of her without the precious ones in her life. If not for the Radiance incident not too long ago she would not have entertained the idea of her having such a dark side, but now she regret having entertain such thoughts. Now all she wanted to do was protect her loved ones and bring an end to this madness once and for all.
