"Stupid rainbow freak. Walking out crying like a wimp. To think I would be friends with...Lame-bow Trash." A golden pegasus mare grumbled. She strolled through an apple orchard. Not caring a bit about her location. Ever since the incident at the library, Spitfire was left in a sour mood. She hated that assassin. She was taking Soarin away from her. After Soarin yelled at Rainbow about him hating assassins, Spitfire saw this as a chance to get closer to him. But now she's further away than before.
"Bloody assassin! Can't Rainbow just drop dead?!" She screamed. Not noticing the three young fillies behind her.

"Hey! Don't say mean things about Rainbow Dash!" A young tomboyish voice yelled. Spitfire span around to see three fillies. A pearl white unicorn with purple and pink curled hair and green eyes. A yellow earth pony with a puffy red mane, tied in a large red bow. And the little orange pegasus, with scruffy fuchsia purple hair, who called out. Her purple eyes glistening with anger as the mare insulted her adoptive sister and idol.
"Rainbow Dash is the most awesomeness pony ever!!" She snorted. "I don't care if you're a Wonderbolt, Rainbow Dash is better than you."

"Oh shut up, you scrawny little chicken. Sweet Celestia! First it's Soarin and now some brat!! Why? Why is this happening me?!" The pegasus mare yelled out in frustration. Her burnt gold coloured eyes brimming with tears. The fillies noticed how upset the mare was, and softened their expressions.

"I-I'm sorry, Miss Spitfire. It's just that you were being mean about Rainbow Dash. And she's my hero and my big sister." Scootaloo apologised. Her purple eyes wide. Hoping the Wonderbolt would forgive her.

Spitfire stared at the little filly.
"Fine. Whatever." She muttered. Instantly making the young pegasus jump around with joy.

"Yay!! I got forgiven by The Captain of The Wonderbolts!!" She sang as she continued to jump, skip and flutter around the golden mare. Who gave a confused stare at the pegasus filly.

"Don' mind her. She's jast a big fan of ya an Tha Wonderbolts." The earth filly rolled her eyes as she smirked.

"Glad that somepony still likes me."

"What do you mean?" The white unicorn squeaked. Her glimmering green eyes staring into the Wonderbolt.

"Well, my team hates me. The princesses hate me. The Elements of Harmony hate me. And that bitchy Rainbow Dash hates me. Not that I care about her." Spitfire growled.

"Why? What ya do?"

"I yelled at Rainbow, and then my co-captain shouted at me."

"Why did you shout at Rainbow? You know she's capable of slitting you throat." Scootaloo stated without a hint of emotion in her voice.

"Scoots!"

"What? It's true!!"

"She's right, Bloom." Sweetie argued. The yellow filly sighed in defeat.

"Yeah, ah guess ya are right. She is an assassin after all."

"Riight. Okay. I better....go." Spitfire began to trot away, but stopped as the orange pegasus stood in front of her.

"What did she do? After you shouted at her? Did you two fight?"

"No. She just cried." The elder pony said blandly.

The three fillies hung their mouths in shock.
"She cried?"

"Yeah. She said some random crap, saying she was pathetic and just trotted out crying. Then Soarin started yelling at me to get out." She huffed. "Excuse me, girls. I've got to get back. As much as I hate that bitch, I've got to apologise to her. Otherwise I'll have nowhere to stay." The captain fluttered off. Her swift golden wings flapping as she gain flight. Leaving the three fillies below to reek havoc among the inhabitants of Ponyville.

"That...erm...that leader dude wasn't very...strong." Silver Lining spoke up. Breaking the silence as the ponies drank ice tea. The four princesses had helped the citizens of Ponyville by casting spells that rebuilt the burnt and destroyed buildings, after the attacking pegasi had left. The girls and the Wonderbolts helped with what they could, by reuniting young ones to mothers and lost items to owners. After everything had settled down, they returned to the library. Drinking ice tea. A popular drink among the Wonderbolts. But all was silent. No pony said anything. Only a quiet 'thank you' as a purple dragon had handed out the drinks. The Wonderbolts sat in a group by the door, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie sat by Twilight's desk. Who was sitting at her desk. Celestia, Cadence and Luna sat nearest to the kitchen. Luna's idea really. Closer to the kitchen, closer to the food. While the others laughed at the alicorns cheekiness, Celestia scowled her like a little filly. Twilight didn't mind Luna taking food. If she was hungry, she can eat.

"It's only fair, Tia. The night before the....battle....between...." The blue alicorn glanced at a prismatic pegasus. Who sat furthest away from the others, with Soarin by her side. "...after I told you about my Moonshine, my moonshine, half of it was gone!"

Celestia's cheeks began to heat up and shine red as she remembered that particular night. Her blush very clearly showed through her white coat.
"I-I...err....well...."

"Sister, half the cellar. Half a bloody cellar. 20 barrels of Moonshine. Yes, there's a low alcohol content but 20 barrels."

"25...actually. I took five back to my room." The sun princess smiled sheepishly, as her younger sibling facehoofed. "What?! It's really sweet. And I have a sweet tooth."

"No duh. Seeing the amount of cake you go through a day, I'm surprised you still have that figure." Luna sniggered.

"Just because I'm a princess, doesn't mean I don't exercise. Besides, a fly around the castle is nice."

"You actually use your wings? Tia, have you banged your head?"

Celestia snorted.
"What's so funny?"

"Let's see. You have large white wings to your advantage. But instead, you use chariots or teleportation." Luna argued.

"What do you expect, Luna?"

"I don't know, using your wings and getting your fat flank off the ground once in a while. Or is it too heavy for you?" Luna smirked evily at her elder sister. The library filled with 'ooo's as the ponies were being entertained by the arguing princesses.

"..." Celestia's mouth hung wide. While her sister just grinned.

"What's the matter, Tia? Run out of cake?" She teased.

"Alright, alright. That's enough now." Cadence stood between the two alicorns. "To think you two are over a thousand years old, yet you argue like little fillies."

"She started it!" Luna flung a hoof at Celestia.

"No I didn't! You did!" Celestia retorted. Although her voice soft and stern, her inner foal came out. Making her act more like a foal than a princess.

"No I didn't!"

"Yeah you did!"

"Nuh uh!"

"Uh huh!"

"Stop! Now!" Twilight yelled. The two sisters stopped immediately and turned to the purple alicorn. "We are supposed to be sorting out this war, and you two are arguing like you never grew up! Celestia. No cake or alcohol for a month."

"What?!" Celestia screamed out in terror. Luna stuck her tongue out.

"Luna. No snacking and definitely no Stardust."

"No Stardust!? But it's the best sweet ever made!"

"Tough. Both of you, grow up." Twilight ordered. Celestia and Luna nodded. Although goddesses, once in a while, they acted like foals. Waterfights. Pillow fights. Pranks. Makeovers. Arguments. But Twilight had enough. Two years she had to put with the endless slippery corridors, or the electric doorknobs. Buckets of water on doors or flour bombs. Twilight smirked as she bossed the two alicorns. Taking away their favourite foods, and they were like putty in her hooves. Especially Celestia and her cake. But enough is enough. They were off topic. And time was running out. Soon enough, the pegasi would attack more towns and cities. Rainbow and a few of her assassins kept them at bay, but with only a small hoofful of them left, the task grew harder and harder. After reading the book they had found, there was still nothing. They all ran out of options.

"I will....have to assassinate the Lords."

"What?!"

"But it's against the law!! Killing our elders!!" Soarin coughed. He knew the punishment for killing a Lord. The rest of your life in a prison deep underground. No sunlight or fresh air. And to be continually tortured every second. With any method. The laws of freedom were gone as you enter the dreaded, Ianua Tartara.

"I know. But if the Lords are gone, there will be no war. I don't care if it costs my life, Equestria is more important." Rainbow defended. The princesses watched as Soarin's face dropped. Like he was about to cry.

"But Dashie....I don't want my bestest friend to go." Pinkie Pie squeaked. Her voice saddened and her blue eyes begging.

"Can' ya change tha laws or jast let Rainbow kill them?" Applejack asked. Celestia and Luna shook their heads.

"We do not make the laws. The Equestrian Lords do. And they are very strict. They create good laws to keep everypony safe. But they won't allow me to change one law." The sun raiser explained. Her head down.

"One shall not murder any Lords contained on Equestrian land. Including the Pegasi Lords. Punishment would be sentenced to the Ianua Tartara prison. To be tortured till one's dying breath. This does not exclude Assassins Of The Creed. Thus the punishment will be doubled." Luna added. Her voice filled with concern and sadness for the young assassin.

"I will still do it." Rainbow stated as she stood up. "There is no other option. I will kill them at dusk." And she trotted out. The stallion that sat by her burst out into tears. His colleagues fluttering over and comforting him as he cried. There was nothing to change Rainbow's mind. There were....no other options.

Sorry for the late update. School is really sucking the life out of me.

"Ianua Tartara."-"Doorway to Tartarus."

Next up, Spitfire's apology. And it does not end well.
