It was a calm dark night, the moon was full, bright. We had just got done rounding up a tribe of were ponies. Our methods of disposal at the time were primitive. We would make mass graves, throw them in oceans, but the one sure way to kill these monsters was to burn them...sometimes alive. We didn't have to burn them alive as protocol, but we didn't feel one hundred percent sure until we heard them die. There screams would haunt my dreams, but we had to do what was necessary in order to protect the future of Equestria. Today was the first time I realized that my organization wasn't the only ponies thinking that way...if you need something dead, with no hope of coming back, you burn it to ashes...

My skin bubbled and sizzled underneath my fur, I was cooking from the inside out. I was able to close my eyes at the right time after one of Malories mares threw the match. They splashed buckets of the flamible liquid into the cell, it covered the walls, the bunks. We were drenched to the bone, attracting the flame as it spread within the time it takes to blink an eye. All of us burned for exactly thirty seconds before it stopped....

"Tart!!!" Tangy croaked her skin peeled from the sides off her mouth as she stretched it pass its threshold," Get up *cough* *cough*."

The wet coughing was starting make me feel noshes as blood oozed from her craked skin. Tangy acted as fast as she could but I noticed that Tart still had her ring around her burnt horn. I turned my head slowly, hearing my skin sizzle and crack, I saw Big Sis holding the scorched ring in her hand, barley breathing as she lay slumped on the wall. Breaker lay beside Big Sis, smoking, she attempted to stand as her wing continued to burn. The smell...it was unbearable. We were all still burning, just slower. Tangys coughing got worse as the smoke accumulated, there was a shield of white energy blocking the flames...Thats what stopped our demise. If we wouldn't succumb to our wounds, the smoke would slowly snuff us out.

"Tarrrrt!" Tangy croaked louder.

"I....I'm h-here....," Tart said in a frail voice.

"AHHHHAAHHHHHH!" Butter screamed falling to the ground. She was still on fire, the sheild didn't reach her in time...Lion roared and thrashed widely knawing at the chain with her teeth, scratching at them, trying desperatly to get free. Butters shrieks filled the air, unable to free her self from the flaming toture, she coughed and hacked as her air grew thin. I was unable to move, laying against the wall, I looked at my body, my fur was singed, in other places there was nothing but muscle, cartilage. My body was covered in burns. I was so damaged that the my skin and bone had started to melt in some spots. The gasoline they used made the flames burn even hotter than the standard.

"I'm going to drop the shield! *cough* *cough* You take over i'll cast the mending spell!" Tangy croaked

"I'm....ready..." Tart rasped.

As butters screams died out she resorted to a soft wheeze. The shield was wavering as Tangy turned her attention to us. Tart held her head high as here horn glowed, the ring seemed too damaged to stop her. Just for a second, I saw the fire cave in on us, coming for a second go. I blacked out as I waited for the death i'm sure I deserved.

"Now why did you ask me that?" Silver Crasher chuckled looking away from the burning bodies.

"Its a simple question, have you ever been burned before. Just answer it," I joked, nudging him with my hoof.

"Kinda of, not really...," He spoke wiping sut from his duster," My sister accedently pushed me in a camp fire...but I wasn't in it long enough to get all crispy."

"How big was the fire, come on you have to of had a scar or something!" I yelled, serching my old friend for proof.

"Look Silver, you have to remeber its not getting burned its how long you burn ok....," He said shooing me away.

"What the fuck does that mean," I questioned raising an eyebrow.

"Well a perfect example is right in front of us...they 've been burning for a good twenty minutes now. Think there dead?"

"Of course, unless they faked all those screams...," I stared at the bodies solemnly.

"Ok so what if we didn't immobilize them when we put them in there? They would get out before some serious damage was done," Crasher said poking them with a stick.

"Crasher i'm still not following you....," I said puzzled.

" *sigh* if you have the strength to do something, then your not allowed to die, if you can survive, push through it all, then you earned the right to live...Just because you get burned doesn't mean you can't 'rise from the ashes'. Make sense?"

"Your so full of shit crasher HAhaahaha," I said squirting more gasoline on the bodies, just to make sure...

I opened my eyes, feeling my skin regenerate. My body's aches and pains were disappearing. The spell was being fortified as the twins worked together to heal and fight the flames. We all felt the heat, but the most it did was make us sweat. Butters face was unrecognizable for a few minutes, but she was still breathing. As if we were one body we sucked in air, the smoke still made it hard to breath, but it was cleaner than before. The spell worked perfecty, only affecting the area whe occupied. Flowers and grass started to sprout benneath us. I rose from the wall, my back still crusted in ash and damaged skin, it healed and the rest flaked off. Tiger Lilly and Malories mares watched in awe as we regained our strength. Lion started to growl, I released he chain as the twins collapsed.

"RAWR you will pay for your atrocities! I shall feast on you fuck faces!" Lion screamed ase she jumped the nearest henchmare and tore her face to shreds with her teeth.

"B-breaker!," I rasped,"G-et up!."

"We-we-we almost died chica...." Breaker whispered lifting her body and stretching her wings.

I walked outside of the cell, some of the fire continued to burn on the outsides of the bars. Lion had already killed three of Malories mares and had taken the fight downstairs. She was holding her own but couldn't doge all of them at once. There were still over a dozen mares surronding Lion, not counting Tiger Lilly. Big Sis and Breaker appeared on my left and on my right.

"Breaker....," I motioned upward as I looked in her direction

"On it is Silver....," Breaker nodded her head as she lifted up into the air.

"Big Sis....," I turned to her as I spoke.

"Yes Silver...." her crystal eyes turned to me.

"Think you could survive a drop this far up," I asked looking over the railing.

"Sure sweetie," She said lowering her body so I could hop on her back.

Sky Breaker had already started picking up mares and dropping them, going as high as she could before hurling them to the ground. The whole cell block was in chaos and the guards were nowhere to be found. Me and Big Sis landed on top of one of the mares jumping for Lion. We took them down, breaking necks, Big Sis crushing bone with her massive hooves. I heard snaps and pops as she bucked at the inmates. I felt better, more flexible. I cartwheeled over a mare with a knife, only to come up behind her and use it against her. As the blade cut her throat wide open I swept a mare behind me off her feet, resulting in her falling on her back. The fear in her eyes was priceless, I watched he life drain from her as I beat her rib cage untill her bone started to break and pierce her body.

" Silver watch out!" Breaker shrieked.

"Huh?!" I turned around to a mare with a pipe in her hooves.

Out of no where Mouse jumped on the mares back and stabbed her in the chest until she fell to the ground. Mouse panted as she got up from the blood drenched mare. Lion saw her advantage as Tiger Lillys group was torn down right in front of her. We spared no pony. Lion pounced and started tearing at Tiger Lillys neck. Blood sprayed and spurted as her neck was impaled by the razor sharp teeth.

"AAAaarrrrgggghh! no no," she gurgled, struggling to release Lions grip.

After a few minutes Tiger Lilly was staring up, blanky. She coughed and chocked on her blood as Lion withdrew her blood soaked face, smiling at her work. We all watched as the mare took her last shaky breath before expiring.

"Can I eat her, can I?" Lion begged rubbing her stomach with a bloody hoof.

"We need to send her back...Malorie would get worried if she didn't return. Take one the other mares, everyone else pile them up. We'er going to burn them...." I said trotting back to my cell.

The others started piling bodies while Lion pulled one aside and started ripping mouth fulls of flesh from the pony. It was hard not to wonder how she enjoyed it to the point of it being better than getting off. Mouse followed me to the third row of cells, not saying a word. As I neared the cell entrance I saw the twins exit.

"Where are you two going...?" I asked the twins.

"Sorry Silver, we almost died back there...," Tangy said looking down.

"We were being punished just for knowing you, we cast the spell more than enough times. You and everyone should be feeling healthier now...we have to go, ask for forgiveness," Tart said solemnly.

"I wouldn't think you two would still pray to the princesses," I said a bit...shocked.

"Not to them," Tangy said with tears brimming in her eyes.

"To Madam President, to Malorie...tell her you forced us...tell her we had no choice...," Tart squeaked, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"There n-nothing but c-cowards," Butter stuttered, shuttering on the floor of the cell," They did t-the same thing to u-us."

"We'er so sorry Silver! We don't want to die!" They sobbed, begging me to understand.

I rushed the two twins slaming them into the cell floor next to butter. The twins were in shock as I punched them both in the face twice, it's because there twins. They whimpered as they tried to focus there magic to get me away, I picked there heads up by the horn and slammed them enough to make my point.

"*sob* S-silver please stop," Tart squeaked ," It hurts so bad....please."

"I'm sorry Silver, don't kill us please," Tangy whimpered, blood spilling from her mouth.

"You don't go to her unless you kill me first, because theres no way in hell she'll accept your stupid apology...I don't even think I can accept yours now. I should kill both of you, I growled, smushing there faces in the ground.

"*sob* *sob* We saved your life S-silver," Tangy sobed.

"Yeah, we saved all of you...you can't do this please!" Tart yelled.

"Maybe thats were you made your mistake, how can I trust you two. You could have told me before you thought of just leaving!" I yelled in there faces," Mouse give me your knife!"

"No no no please stop no!" Tart hollared.

"Please noooo!" Tangy screamed.

"Forgive us! Please forgive us!" both of the sisters pleaded.

As the blade rested in my hoof I paused. They were terrified of Malorie enough to go behind my back and kiss her ass for forgiveness. Now, there doing whatever they needed to, to stay alive now. I wouldn't let Malorie get to them, they should know I would protect them...can I? I could try, they needed to trust me...the mares that made me feel wonderful in the showers, the mares that just saved my life...and I was about to kill them.

"You'll do anything to survive...just to keep breathing you'll say whatever you need to..." I said tossing the knife away.

The twins held each other, unsure of there fate. They cried into each other, willing to do whatever it takes just to feel the love from one another. They could only trust each other. Mouse picked up her knife and returned it to her holster. The smell of burning flesh let me know that Breaker and Big Sis were done with there task.

"I wont let Malorie hurt you....," I said bowing my head.

"Huh?" the twins questioned.

"You can trust me...I wont let her harm you, I owe you my life, both of you." I said helping them to there hooves,"I'm sorry about hurting you, you don't deserve that."

The twins stared at me as they wiped there faces. They embraced me, as they let out another wave of tears. They hugged me tightly nuzzling me, tears soaking my coat. They whispered apologies, and what I believed was something along the lines is that they would never leave me...

"We will never doubt you again," Tangy squeaked.

"Never every, we are yours, we obey you, do whatever you want of us. Please accept us as yours....," Tart pleaded nuzzling my neck.

" Punish us when you see fit, use are bodies when you need release, we are yours...," Tangy sobed as she caressed my back.

"Go to Big Sis...ask her to take you to your cells...give her a reward tomorrow, understood?" I comanded softly, nuzzling them back.

The twins both kissed me on the cheeks available to them before exiting the cell slowly, calling for Big Sis. They were right to be scared, do what was necessary to survive. Thing is, I want the twins, no pony else can have them unless Its ok with ME. Shortly after the twins left with Big Sis, Breaker and Lion appeared. Mouse backed up slowly into the cell pulling out her knife and holding it in her teeth.

"Sorry Mouse," I said as I knocked the knife on the floor," we would have done this on better terms but work with what ya got and all..."

"I know she helped you but it was a trick right....you can't seriously trust her!" Mouse screamed.

"Come on Mousey i'll savor your taste," Lion said licking her lips as she slowly advanced.

"Fuck you guys!" Mouse yelled as she lept into the air, attempting to vault over Lion.

"Not a chance!" Breaker said knocking her back down.

"Ahhh! I don't...I don't understand you brought me here so she could kill me....you healed me just so I could be nice and healthy for this crazy bitch!" she sad aggravated.

I held here fore hooves down, the rest of her body was exposed to Lion. Mouse was shaking as Lion got closer. She didn't even try to kick her away, the pony knew it was helpless and accepted her fate.

"Please, just, don't leave me alive too long...I don't want to suffer....ughaaa! What the fuck!" Mouse yelled, finally realizing what was going on," Ahhaaaa! s-stop it Lion!"

"Silly pony, she just wants to taste you. She still wants your flesh, but I talked her into wanting your taste instead. So stop being so selfish and enjoy it," I said holding her still.

"Without my consent you sell my body to this maniac! Ahhhhhhaaa! no, ahhhhaaa, dammit," Mouse yelped as Lion lapped at her juices.

"MMMMmmmmmm *rawrrrrrr* your juices are flowing Mousy, you love this don't you?" Lion teased as she nibbled on Mouses pussy.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Mouse yelled," I'll fucking kill you!"

Lion replaced her tongue with her hoof as she locked lips with Mouse. Her yelling was muffled as the kiss went from frantic lip locking to a pasionate tongue wrestle. Mouse blushed as she tasted herself. She relaxed a little but her for hooves still wanted to fight it. She didn't want to enjoy it but she did. Lion broke the kiss, looking down at her prey as Mouse turned he head and closed her eyes.

"Do you wan't more of my tongue Mousy," Lion teased.

"Y-yes.....,"Mouse whispered.

"I can't hear you Mousy, speak up," Lion said licking Mouses cheek.

"Make me cum Lion...use your tongue to make me cum dammit...," Mouse said looking her right in those hungry pink eyes.

"Relax and let me finish you off little Mouse....," Lion purred as she licked her way down to Mouses pussy again.

I let go of her hooves as Lion did what she had promised. Mouse squirmed and shaked but she never moved out the position I had left her in. She had hid her desire to give in for so long, her eyes teared up as she quietly begged for more squeaking like a mouse. She looked up at me and called me an asshole, maybe I did deserve that but she was having the time of her life. Even if she didn't want to admit it.

"Lion ahhhaaa....i'm cumming Lion," Mouse squeked loudly.

"MMMmmmfffff! Mmmmmmm....," Lion moaned as she brought her mouth to Mouses.

The kiss was juicy. Mouses cum seeped out of her lips as Lion fed Mouse her own juice. Lion cleaned up the grey ponies face and purred as she nuzzled her chest. Mouse panted as she swallowed her cum, an inkling of a smile dancing at the corner of her lips.

"Is this better than being dinner Mouse?" I whipered in her ear.

"Your one big asshole Silver...but i'd take this over being food...," Mouse said closing her eyes," I hope your ready Silver...Malrorie isn't going to be too happy about getting her favorite pony handed back to her dead."

"Well seeing as i've got all of you, we'll manage," I said looking over the room," We'er going to need a new cell."

The smell of burning ponies lingered in the air as the former rivals cuddled. I had Mouse and Lion, witch was perfect timing seeing as now i'll be in the middle of a gang war for a while. Malorie is smart, maybe not very rational but i'm sure she'll hold off until she can regroup and find a new 'Tiger Lilly'. For now i'll make sure my little monsters are fed, rested, and pleased for the war that awaits them. I can only hope for a month of peace from here on out, we'll see....

Author's Notes:

I have never been burned alive before so I wouldn't know how to accurately depict it.

I could look it up but I'd rather leave to my imagination and maybe even exaggerate the hell out of it.
