Chapter 3: Sweet Smell Of Success

Twilight didn't cry or scream when she saw her dear, generous and beautiful friend lying on the bed. She just felt intense sorrow, and pity for her friends fate. She did shed a few tears, but these were just because of the understanding of ones miserable condition. She stroked the white unicorn's face gently and now looked at Fluttershy and Soarin', with eyes of grief. "Has she woken up at all? Has she shown any sign of recovery?" Twilight inquired, as Soarin' shook his head right after. Fluttershy just made a silent squeak and looked down in despair.

"No.. She hasn't shown us any sign of recovery or hope. But, I still have faith in her, she is one of the elements of harmony, so she can't die here!..." He exclaimed. Soarin' was very headstrong about things like this; he didn't want somepony to quit so easily, Rarity still had friends she loved so why should she end it all now; he thought. "I'm going to give all my love and care for her, from now on." Fluttershy's emotions twitched a little after that. Her mind asked her that was she jealous of Rarity, or was she just overwhelmed by Soarin's ways. But, her heart told her that she should appreciate Soarin's endeavor's, and help him the best way she could.

"How can anypony do something like this?... This is just.. So vile... How are we going to explain this to Applejack, Dash, Pinkie, Spike and especially Sweetie Belle!..." Twilight started shaking from the thought that how will they really react to this. She was fearing for the worst.

Soarin' didn't say anything, he just went to get the other girls. He, Twilight and Fluttershy had to toughen up and not make everypony worry about them. He thought that it was such a bad idea, not to tell your important friends what happened. "No! Soarin'... Don't go yet!.. They won't stand for it.." Twilight had tears already erupting from her eyes; when she saw Soarin' close the door behind him. She wanted to go stop him, but Fluttershy stopped her from doing so. The kindhearted pegasus just embraced her, and whispered to her ear that everything was going to be alright. Twilight started to calm down, and Fluttershy proceeded to hum a little. It made everything better for the both of them.

After an intense sequence of crying and anger, Rarity finally woke up from her deep sleep. She was surprised that so many ponies were around her, all happy. "Rarity... You finally woke up." Twilight whispered in delight. She then went to the other room. Rarity wondered why she suddenly went away, but was soon interrupted by Pinkie Pie.

"Rarity!!... I was so worried about you!!!..." Her over-the-top crying made her smile. She then stroked Pinkie's mane and laughed a little bit.

"He-He.. Pinkie, I am so glad that you worried about me..." The pink, party pony then looked at her and joyously smiled.

"Of course I was worried!" She said, whilst hugging her tighter. After Pinkie had let it all out, Applejack wanted to talk to the unfortunate unicorn.

"Hey there sugarcube, how's everything? Feelin' all better? Rarity nodded and then looked away, she didn't want Applejack to see her black eye, and many other miscellaneous bruises. "Don't fret there honey, I ain't gonna laugh at you or anything. I just want to give y'all a kiss, okay?" She gave Rarity a kiss on the forehead, and then smiled for a bit. "It's all gonna be just fine and dandy, don't you worry bout' a thing." Applejack then went where Pinkie Pie was, next to the door to Rarity's room and then proceeded to wait for the other ones.

"Wh... What are you both standing there for?" Rarity inquired. Pinkie didn't say a thing, she just wiped her nose a bit and tried not to cry. Applejack went and see what took them so long, was Twilight trying to tell the little one that everything was going to be alright? Soon, Twilight and the others came to the same room that Rarity was in. They also had somepony with them. Rarity noticed who she was, and immediately smiled the best way she could.

"Hey there... We brought you a special little guest..." Rarity held Sweetie Belle's two hooves and didn't want to let go of her. The little filly truly made her feel important and warm inside every time she saw her. But, as soon as Sweetie opened her mouth; Rarity couldn't take it.

"Sis... What happened to you?" The filly asked, with an expression so clueless and precious, that it was too much to take. Rarity cried her eyes out, followed by continuous nudges every time she breathed for more air, her crying had made her almost breathless. Sweetie Belle also started to cry, but hers was a lot more loud. Twilight tried to calm them both down, but it was hard, because both of them were too much in emotion right now. Soarin' overheard the crying and was starting to have enough of this. He went inside the room, Fluttershy, Applejack and Dash tried to stop him, but he pushed them aside. Though he did so gently, because he was still a gentlecolt.

He embraced Rarity, and asked her secretly as to whom did this to her. She didn't want to answer at first, but then realized that he needed to know, he could do something about it; she thought. "It was..... Prince... Blueblood... And some royal guards.." Soarin' immediately let go, and gave Rarity a kiss on her cheek and then on the other. He then brushed Sweetie Belle's head and gave her a kiss too. He then proceeded to get out of the room, but before leaving, he looked at each of his friends and smiled the best way he could. He was then gone, and it was a mystery as to what the girls thought of that afterwards. He flew as fast as he could to the castle, Rainbow Dash wasn't even following him, he noticed. Things were really going his way.

He didn't talk, he just flew. When he finally arrived there, he secretly snuck into the castle. Carefully planning his way in. It was full of flukes, but he managed to get inside the place and finally do what he was planning to do all along.

He noticed that there weren't many ponies around here, the security wasn't so good and all the guards were dozing off. He went by them with a flash, they didn't notice a thing, he was like a phantom. He needed to find the place where Blueblood resided. He also took note of the place, it looked totally different as to what it looked like when it held the Grand Galloping Gala. He then quickly forgot about it, and proceeded to find the prince's room. Finally, after searching for it for 20 minutes, he found it, the door actually read that it was Prince Blueblood's room. He then snuck in, and was ready to let him have it, but unfortunately, Blueblood wasn't there. Soarin' looked around him and made sure that Blueblood wasn't there. After securing the place, he went to look for him. He soon heard a voice coming from a room with big doors. The doors weren't actually closed completely, they were slightly open.

Soarin' went next to the door and looked through the gap, and to his shock, he saw Blueblood there. His own teeth immediately clenched inside his mouth, as he saw the despicable prince standing no more than thirty hooves away from him. He noticed that he was talking to Princess Luna, and Celestia was there to protect her sister. Soon, the conversation began to turn ugly. Blueblood slapped Luna, and then kicked Celestia aside. He beat the poor princess with his hooves, until Luna went to her aid, and bit the prince on his ear, and hit him with her delicate front hooves. She tried as hard as she could, but Blueblood overpowered her.

Soarin' was shaking uncontrollably, and wanted to do everything he could. He was just so angry and sad about the situation. Soon, he felt an intense burning desire and was ready to do it. He was ready to kill. He now was full of adrenaline, and anger. The thing that finally set him off completely was when Blueblood proceeded to rape Luna, he started humping her hard, and at the same time slapped her every now and then. Celestia kept crying on the floor in pain, and Luna was screaming as hard as she could. "That's what you get!! Ha!!! I will rape your sister next, and make both of you serve me! Ha-Ha-Ha!!" Soarin' finally snapped, his body felt heavy, but full of power.

He rushed inside the room, and pushed Blueblood off of Luna. He started hitting the pompous stallion with his front hooves, breaking his nose, snout and jaw. He went into a furious rampage in the room, and broke things apart, when Blueblood tried to escape. The prince went under a table, and Soarin' started to hit the table with his hooves, breaking it apart. He kicked a bookshelf over, broke vases, broke windows and destroyed every part where Blueblood hid. "I'm gonna kill you.... I will fucking end you, you fucking piece of shit!!! Die!!! Die!! AAAAAAAGH!!! I... gon... k..ill. you!!!!" The things he spoke were starting to get hard to interpret. He was producing too much saliva and rage, that it made everything hard to understand.

The floor was full of blood, sweat and tears, but Soarin' still continued his rage. He finally got Blueblood where he wanted, under his hooves. He proceeded to impale his eyes with a quill. He took both of them out, making the wretched prince scream his heart out. He then bit off his ears, they came off pretty easily and made a terrible crunchy sound; when shedding them off with teeth. "You can't hear them anymore, nopony will ever listen to you, you will suffer forever...!!" Celestia and Luna were embracing each other, and were crying together, but both of the cries were muffled, because they were crying on each others shoulders. Soarin' continued to torture the prince.

Soarin' now bit off Blueblood's tongue, so that the prince wouldn't be able to scream no more. He spat the tongue towards the wall, as it hit the wall, the wall had been stained with blood. He also beat up and bloodied Blueblood's face with his hooves. After each strike, he thought of Rarity and the girls. He thought of Sweetie Belle and Ponyville. He was about to cry, but he shook it off, such as to focus on thinking what to do next to Blueblood.

He decided to take a candlestick and proceed to hit Blueblood's penis with it. He kept hitting it until the cock looked deformed, he then grasped Blueblood's head and made him bite his own dick off. He pushed hard and made Blueblood stick his own mouth on the penis, this made Blueblood's back snap. Soarin' then turned even more horrid. "Now say good night, sweet prince!" He stomped on the prince's head, making him bite off his own penis. It made a disgusting sound, but it pleased Soarin' enormously. He normally wouldn't enjoy something like this, but torturing the stallion he hated more than anything in all of Equestria, made him laugh. He kept on destroying the place, and laughed uncontrollably. He took a chair and kept beating the prince with it, breaking the chair with just a couple of hits. He maniacally laughed, and took another chair. He threw books at him and burned it all up with a candle.

Soarin' watched the pile of filth burn; as he started to realize what he just did. But, as this was Blueblood he was thinking of, he immediately felt anger rising up again. He put out the fire, and carried the charred Blueblood out of the castle. He wanted to drop the prince off a cliff to his death, he did so. The place where Blueblood landed was full of jagged and lethal rocks, they decapitated the prince in half, filling the place with his guts, blood and chunks of flesh. Soarin' looked down and saw the pile of what was left of him. He stared at it for a minute, and made his final move. He spat on the now deceased prince, and went back inside the castle.

He saw the terrified princesses on the floor, still crying from the earlier rampage. Soarin' comforted them by hugging them both and crying with them. "It's.... Now done... It's over...." He stroked his face on both of their manes and kept crying. He regretted what he had done, but he thought that it was for the best that the prince was killed this way. It was revenge for everything that the bastard had ever done.

The princesses forgave him, but told him to never speak of this again. He promised that after letting his friends know; he won't speak of it ever again. He hated what he had done, but secretly felt deep relief that it was done. "But... What about the royal guards.. They were in it too..." Soarin' inquired. The princess wiped off her tears.

"Blueblood told me who they were... He was drunk once, and he accidentally told me that he had done such a thing with the three other guards.. I will have them banished for the rest of their lives. Nopony shall ever get away with a thing like that!..." Luna embraced Soarin' as a thanks to him. She also kissed him on his forehead.

"The thing you had done was out of love, you didn't enjoy it in reality, you're not that kind of a pony Mr. Soarin'...." She then kept on hugging him, and stroking her own head on Soarin's head. He understood what she just said, how could anypony other than Prince Blueblood ever enjoy such a thing. Enjoy rape and violence, it's absolutely terrifying. He then remembered that he did enjoy it, but he enjoyed inflicting it on a pony that he loathed with all his soul. "We will NOT condemn you Soarin'... We will not.."

Celestia gently brushed Soarin's tears away and told him this: "You are our hero, and you have avenged all the mares that the prince had tormented. We couldn't touch him, because we didn't want our hooves get dirty of murder. But, you... You had the courage to do it. We both love you so much Soarin', you are our true prince." She let Soarin' cry all his feelings on her shoulder. Her mane felt relaxing, and her hooves felt like hooves of a mother. He felt so safe with her. He just wanted to let it all out. "Come on Luna, let's get to work. We have some judgement's to give, and Soarin' has to get home.

"Right, sister!" The princess of the night went to get the butlers and maids to clean the mess up; and tried to get hold of the guards that weren't involved with the crime. She too knew which guards were involved, and which were not. Her sister had told her, after Blueblood had blurted his secrets out.

"Alright, let's get you home now Soarin'..." She gave him a final kiss; as a thanks for everything he had done, and carried him to the nearest ride to Ponyville. He was obviously exhausted from all the wrath and stress.

Two years had passed since the incident. Soarin' was now living with the girls in Ponyville. He had became best friends with them all, but especially with Rainbow Dash, because both of them were such active, athletic and cool ponies. He had married Fluttershy, whom he felt so close to. He had decided that it should be Fluttershy, because he had a feeling that Rarity would someday meet her special somepony. And that somepony shouldn't be him, he thought. And how is Rarity doing? She is actually doing just fine. Her wounds had healed completely, and all the terror and shock had faded away. Everypony had promised not to talk about it, and would respect Rarity's well-being. She was making dresses, just like always, when suddenly there was knocking on the door.

"Hm, who could that be?" She went to check who it was, and for her surprise it was Soarin'. "Oh, it's you! Why good day to you mister. How are you doing?" Rarity said, whilst getting him something to eat.

"Oh, well.. I'm not doing anything in particular... I was just passing by.. Nothing special, have to go practice some of my moves with Rainbow Dash and Spitfire... You know.. That's what we Wonderbolts do". Yes, Dash was now a Wonderbolt, and that's what really stood out in Ponyville. She got her own uniform and badge of honor. The rainbow-maned mare was one of the best Wonderbolts, and was also the vice leader of the group.

"Alright then.. Oh! I almost forgot!.." Rarity went to get one thing she made for Soarin'. She then came back with a very extraordinary looking necklace. "I want you to have this.." The necklace was actually quite beautiful looking, now that he took a closer look at it.

"Oh gee... Thanks!" He put it on; and was almost too happy. "You really want me to have this?"

"Why, of course! I insist!" She smiled happily, and proceeded to hug him.

"It's amazing, thank you Rarity..." After embracing each other for a minute, he left without eating anything. She noticed this, but sighed. And thought to herself that he is probably going to go eat with his fillyfriend. "See you later Rarity!" He waved his hoof.

"Yes, see you later! Tell Fluttershy that I said hi!" Soarin' stopped waving his hoof.

"I will!... Bye..." He closed the door behind him. Rarity gave it a quick smirk, and went back to weave a pair of socks for Sweetie Belle. Soarin' walked alongside a road that leads to a certain restaurant in Ponyville. It was starting to get dark, and the sun was setting. He now saw an yellow coated pegasus waiting for him on a place, where he and his fillyfriend decided to meet at. It was Fluttershy, and she was waiting for him anxiously. "Hi there..."

"Hi honey... Oh, what a pretty necklace.." She noticed the exceptional piece of art hanging on Soarin's neck.

"Isn't it? Rarity gave it to me... Oh, and she said hi." Fluttershy nodded and gave it a smile. She then proceeded to climb on Soarin's back. But, before that, they both kissed deeply and passionately. Afterwards they both snuggled their snouts together. "I love you Fluttershy.."

"I love you too Soarin'..." She then climbed on top of him, and leaned her head onto his soft and luscious mane. Soarin' had a new hair style, that differed from his earlier one. His hair was now longer, and actually resembled Rainbow Dash's hair style more than anything. He kept walking to the restaurant, when suddenly he wanted to tell Fluttershy what was written on the necklace.

"I noticed some inscriptions on the necklace... Wanna hear what it says?" He opened up the necklace and admired the picture that it had. It was a picture of all the ponies of Ponyville. Soarin' was in the middle with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, whilst all the other ponies were scattered around them. They all fitted into the picture, because the town wasn't that big really.

"Of course, darling.. What does it say?" She kissed his head, and closed her eyes, as to focus on what he had to say.

"It says: "Thank you for everything Soarin'. You are amazing, brave and a real hero. I love you so much, that I can't stand it. All the girls care for you, remember that, it's the most important thing. Friendship, that is. Never betray your friends in a way that puts them down, you can tell me your feelings, I will listen. I am your friend, right?

PS. Keep this necklace close to your heart.

With love, Rarity".
