"Were the hell is Butter?!" I had been wondering about this for a while now. We waited at least a week or two for this perfect opportunity to come by. We had finally gotten the word from Upper Management that we would be able to attack Malories wing. I just had know idea where Butter was. The first time it came up I didn't think much of it. A pony has to get away sometimes, I can respect that. Now its gotten to the point were she's been missing for days. I asked Cutter to inform Upper Management about my problem. That didn't help much, some pony's magic was blocking her sight at the time. Who could possible be that strong....? Night Gale...

"It's possible that she's been captured," Swipe said, sharpening her blade. The handle hand been replaced and the blade itself was improved. The upcoming struggle would test its durability for sure.

"She isn't in Black Lable. She has to be in Malories Wing for sure." Jest, the zebra from Black Label. Lion suggested that we enlist a few of them for our push.

Cutter looked at me from across the picnic table. Her eyes were demanding something. She leaned forward with her fore hooves on the table," We can't get too distracted. It's obvious that somethings going on. We have to make a plan of attack!"

"I know Cutter it's just...." I paused and reconsidered. I needed her alive. If I were to loose her...No, i'll have to live with that outcome." Alright then...As far as a plan goes...."

Stomper raised her eyebrows in surprise," What? We need something Silver. We can't just walk in there and start a fight with the biggest gang in the prison!"

"...Shes right Silver, we might be strong in some areas but, we are greatly outnumbered," Mouse paused and looked at Lion with an expecting expression.

"Fine!" Lion said rolling her eyes," I'm not one for planing...but I want to win this...!"

Plan? Why didn't I...Thats right. The plan was just to make it this far really. I did better in the heat of the moment. Although, there are some things that could be mapped out. I need to make sure that every pony will be able to follow my lead," Honestly a plan at this point...Lets just get some things straight here," I trotted away from the table and sat on my haunches. I started drawing up a map of Malories camp." I was able to get an idea of her set up. We can gain access from the main gates that connect the cafeteria and her block. Cutter talked to the guards there. So, we should be able to walk through, no problem. However, theres a few gates that she's set up to slow us down. This is bad, because we need to take them down before we can move forward. But, the bright side is we get to focus on a smaller fraction of her gang. But again, we need to find a way through the gates first..."

Every pony looked around. Not many were sure how to deal with an iron gate with weapons or brute strength. Tangy and Tart smiled brightly. They both started talking with grins on there faces," We have a solution for that!!!"

Tart started first," Me and Tangy were thinking a little..."

Then Tangy," We could create a field of energy that could burst through the gates..."

Tart interjected once more," We'd have to move very carefully and charge up. Then we could push right through!!!"

"It wouldn't take much, but our field of energy isn't exactly a shield. So, we'd need constant support on our part...." Tangy added wit a serious look on her face.

"Fucking great, an escort mission. I hate escort missions," Lion growled.

"Hey we aren't weak you know. Just make sure nothing kills us! It's simple...!" Tart yelled, they really have matured...

"Doesn't sound too bad. I mean, how many gates can the bitch have?" Dandy said sighing. It wasn't a bad start really.

Now its time to assign teams. I need ponies focused on certain things, ponies with the escort and the others clearing the way," Ok...Heres what I'm thinking...." I looked at all the mares, trying to match up the perfect set. I had Black Label ponies and the Slashers, I just needed to set up these ponies here,"....Big Sis, Bella, and Mouse. You three will help escort the twins. We'll have the Black Label ponies lead the charge. So, Jest, You'll be heading in before us."

Jest smiled and laughed, similar to how I would...," I hope this isn't a way to get rid of me Silver?"

"Of course not zebra..." I smirked,"....Your ponies are individual power house's. We could use that to throw them off guard. But, I want your griffin, Ripper, with Sky Breaker. Both of them will alternate their support between clearing a path and protecting the twins," Jest nodded in approval. " The Slashers will be right behind them, with the way you mares fight Autumn, the'll be able to confuse them. Hopefully get behind them. We need choas ok?" Autumn and Dandy nodded. "Lion, and Swipe. You two will be with Black Lable. Thread, we have all the materials you'll need to cook up some bombs, you'll be with the slashers and clear the way."

Thread looked at me, confused," Why can't I just blow up the doors?"

"Its possible that there reenforced with magic. So, that would be pointless. Its also likely that its just re-enforced period...So it'd take more than a homemade pipe bomb to make a dent..." I said smiling at the proud bomb maker," Even with your design of bomb...it wouldn't help us much."

"Damn..." Thread started to pout, how cute,sorry little pony.

"What about you chic....?" Sky Breaker said in a worried tone.

Cutter stared at me with a peircing gaze," Yes, were will you be Silver?"

I thought about this. I was wondering if they really thought I'd just sit back and watch this all happen, just hopping it'll go right. Cutter didn't want me to be in the thick of it but, thats the only place I can be....," I'll be close to the twins getting through the gates. When we get closer, I want all my mares with me. We'er going to push right through the middle and take the fight straight to Malorie....You with me Cutter?"

She smiled, a determined look on her face," Of course...I'll be at the gates when your ready."

"Alright, every pony, get prepared! We'll be moving out soon!" Every pony went on with preparing for our fight with Malorie. I felt something, watching all of them get ready. Under my orders, they were getting ready to fight and die. It was something that made me laugh a little, I never imagined i'd actually be leading an op this big. Funny thing is, this is just the beginning of the operation. That realization made me question whether or not I was just using these ponies...a means to an ends. I loved them right? I respected them...But...If they couldn't help me then I wouldn't care for them, would I? I sat at the picnic table alone. I was stuck on that thought. What am I becoming? Is it turning me into that heartless bitch that Vinyl hates much...is it worse than that? Was Luna telling the truth? Is there really an evil being inside of me? Then that means i've been living a lie. A monster that hunts monsters...what a joke. Now that i've come here, it feels like I was finally able to reveal that. I guess when Luna mentioned me getting comfortable here and showing my true colors....Dammit! Where is my 'other self'? She would help me with this...

"Mistress?" Valhalla spoke quietly," Are you ok Mistress Silver?"

"I'm fine Valhalla," I smiled at the latex ponie," Tell me...do you ever feel loved Valhalla..."

Valhalla turned her head to the side. A very confused look contorted her face," I...I don't understand Silver. I 'love' it when i'm punished. I 'love' it when I get hurt or if you ever decided to break one of my legs....I don't deserve to feel anything but pity for myself. And pleasure in my worthless existence..." Valhalla smilled. It was a strange smile for her. It wasn't a blissful one or, even one from pain or embarrassment," But now that I think of it....The only time i've ever felt like love was available to me is when you..."

"When I what...?" I asked, hanging on her words.

Valhallas smile disappeared. A worried expression quickly replaced it." No, no! I shouldn't have done such a foolish thing! Please Mistress, I was only telling you nonsense! I don't derseve that kind of feeling....please I beg of you...my worthless mind is so stupid!"

I stared at the mare in disbelief. I couldn't believe she was taught that her place was to be lower than the dirt in this court yard. I wondered how she was able to get that way. I lifted the mares face, she flinched," Stop...calm down Valhalla. I'm not like your other controllers. I want you to be better than what you are. Please Valhalla...tell me, what is it you feel?"

"I....I feel as if you might..." Valhalla paused, her blue eyes were staring into mine,"Whenever I hear your voice, I feel like you might want something else. When you touch me, I feel as if you want me to feel good, really let me enjoy myself. When you stare at me, when I see Misstresses eyes. I feel like I can...."

"Come on Valhalla, spit it out..." I continued to stare in the mares beautiful blue eyes.

"Mistress Silver? May I have permissission to love you. Not because you control me...but, because I feel like you mean it?" Valhalla started to shake.

"Of course Valhalla. Soon you want have to be scared to be...whatever the hell you want actually..." I kissed her forehead and smiled.

Valhalla smiled back," All I want to be is yours Mistress..."

It was a weird moment. I guess a little cheesy even. But, it reassured me. Even if I was controlling these mares in some way. It felt genuine, like I was legitamitaly subduing them and it was the right thing to do. I don't know exactly what Luna meant or what my other self had in mind. I do know, that I want to change this world. When i'm done with Malorie, maybe i'll have time to think about that...

We'er ready. It took me sometime to wrap my head around the fact that i'd be squaring off with Malorie. I hadn't expected my stay here to involve such a dramatic turn of events. Although now, I was starting to notice that this place is more than just a prison...Thats for another time, for now, we all had finally gotten fully prepared. We marched out of the court yard and through the cafeteria. The room had been cleared out and guards in riot gear patrolled every inch of the place. I had to make sure that all the mares were on there best behavior. We reached the gate. Cutter was waiting there along with Lightning Trotter. I approached the two and gave Lightning Trotter a smile," It's been awhile Mrs. Trotter."

"Yeah...it has. Well, Upper Management wants you to make a big body count. So, stay safe in there. She specifically ordered us to lock the gates tight when you enter." Lightning Trotter unlocked the gate door and waved us in. The Black Label ponies entered first. Along with Lion and Swipe. Thread wasn't too far behind. Jest and Cherish were the first in when Black Lable went through. I was just keeping track. Watching as my hard work came into play. The slashers came next. Water mark and Autumn Stomper were in the front. I could see Trip and her dew yellow friend in the middle.

"Hey Silver...," Dandy Hooves stepped out of the crowd of Slashers," I don't have a problem doing this, I just need to know that if Stomper gets in trouble..."

"Don't worry about that...," I paused, I didn't know what to call her out loud.

"Just call me Val..." Val? She walked off into the gates.

Breaker and the griffin, Ripper, appeared shortly. Breaker slipped me a quick kiss before hurrying into the gates. The twins came and Big Sis was close by. Bella and Mouse brought up the rear. I began to follow them in, Cutter stopped me," Are you sure your ready?"

I stared at the creamy orange mare with a smile, she nodded her head and began to follow me in. Lightning Trotter closed and locked the door behind us. All around I could see Malories banners. Hanging ponies from cells, traitors, was the word marked in red on each of their stomachs. The space was packed with ponies buying things with, most likely stolen, coupons. The mares either belonged to Malorie or had face paint. The face paint resembled an eagle or phenix. Any other ponies were just normal inmates. We had a hard time squeezing every one in, but it worked somehow.

"Theres the gate Silver, should we move forward?" Jest asked, pointing to the iron gate.

I saw that some of the inmates had already started going back to their cells. A lot of them took one look at us and broke out in a full gallop. It wasn't us that they were afraid of. Not particularly anyway. They knew something was going to happen." No, wait here," I grabbed a yellow mare in purple face paint. I stretched her left fore leg outward and held her head down. I twisted it and held it there. She yelped," Hey! I know you see us now!"

More of the regular inmates left. The other mares started grabbing bats and sharp pieces of glass. Some of the Heavy Wieghts and Sinister Sisters were coming from the cells. There numbers started to double ours in no time at all. The yellow mare started to laugh," You idiots your-"

*SNAP*

The mare lay limp and quiet on the floor. The mares that approached us started to charge," Black Label!" I yelled. The Black Label ponies met up with malories gang and the skirmish began. I looked back and the twins had already charged up there force field. The Slashers were right behind Black Label by the time I turned back to the fight that had already started. I spotted Breaker and Ripper swooping down and instantly taking out some of the bigger mares. Cuter trotted quickly to my side," Theres a few aiming there attack directly at the twins. Big Sis and the others should be able to handle it. Me and you will get any that slip pass the line. We have to hold them off ass long as possible," we both jumped back as a flaming bottle exploded in front of us,"....anyway, I was thinking, Once the twins got that thing going, the could just run right through all these mares. We can't possible kill all of them....!"

"So we fight a little dirty, I like that!" a few mares jumped over the Slashers and Black Label. " Lets take care of these assholes first!"

A very incredible bright yellow mare with pink face paint came after Cutter with a knife. I almost stopped her but Cutter bucked her in the head. The solid impact was enough to drop the earth pony dead. She's a lot stronger than I thought...Mmmmm, no wonder I like her. Two of Malories collared ponies tried to tackle me. I jumped over them as they landed in a heap behind me. They got back up, angry, and cussing. I love toying with my enemy, but I haven't the time to waste on them. The mare closer to me swung a bat with razor blades attached. I was able to barrow her weapon after doging it a couple of times. I smashed her face in and quickly lodged the bat into her friends side when I pulled it from the mares head. Not only had I knocked the wind out of her but, she was bleeding profusely. I decided to take my time. She lay there trying to regain her breath. I slowly brought the bat to her head. She looked horrified.

"Silver!" Cutter yelled, bucking even more mares as they crowded us.

I needed to see her squirm. To see her cry...beg, I need her to know that I enjoyed doing this. I smiled as I brought the bat down slowly a second time, as if I was getting ready to hammer in a nail. She was trying to get up, I could see the hope in her eyes. I brought it down hard, her head busted open and a sickening crunch came with it. I didn't have much time to enjoy the victory, one of Malories mares taclked me," You fucking whore!" The mare yelled in my ear. She started beating me. I blocked her attacks with my hooves.

"Silver, what the hells wrong with you!?" Cutter snapped the mares neck she had been struggling with. I could tell she wasn't very happy with my dramatic display. She pushed the mare off and pulled me to my hooves. She glared at me before rushing to the mare and finishing her off. I looked back at the mob we had been successful at keeping them away from the twins. I could see a couple of Threads bombs fly threw the air and take out some ponies trying to join the fight from the cells up above. She had a strange system. Her bombs were connected with a wire that she slung, I guess the ignition is trigged once the wire is completely pulled through. I looked behind me. Big Sis and the others were just finishing off some mares that got past our line. The twins started to slowly advance as a black and gold bubble started to build up. I could see them straining as the moved forward. It was a slow start but I'm hoping this'll work.

I raced over to Cutter as she buck the mares head in," Hey, there moving lets-"

"Don't fucking do that! This isn't some game! You think you can just mess around out here?!" Cutter looked more than angry. I had only seen her mad like this once. I wasn't sure what to say.

A bat swung over our heads. It made contact with a black mare in a dirty skirt. She dropped and held her stomach, gasping for air. We both looked at the mare then at Bella," This is a bedtime. Maybe you can bicker later, perferbally when we aren't trying to destroy the biggest gang here..." Bela slowly walked over to the mare and smashed her throat. She then trotted back the the twins. They had more progress and were moving a lot faster.

"We'll do this later ok...I won't do it again..." I said sighing.

Cutter relaxed," Come on, lets speed this up..."

"Ok..." I trotted closely to the twins. Mouse and Big Sis were taking on some more mares.," Tart! Tangy! We need you to start galloping! As fast as you can! Right through the mob!"

The sisters looked at me as if I had started speaking another language," B-but....nnnnggg, the other ponies," Tangy said grunting loudly.

"We'll....aaarrrgghh, run right through them!" Tart grunted even louder.

"Cutter has that under control, just get yourself moving, don't worry about anything else!" The sisters nodded and the started moving a little bit faster. I wasn't sure they'd pick up enough speed but, they sure were trying. I took a look over at the crowd. I could see that the slashers were falling back. They were still fighting some mares but Cutter must have told Ripper and Breaker to thin them out some. I could see some mare getting thrown into walls. Others had been dropped with multiple stab wounds. The twins were at a jog at this point. Black lable ponies were just pulling out. I could see Swipe swinging widely, to keep Malories bitches back. Lion was flanking them. Once we were clear, Tart and Tangy ran right throughout the mares. They busted through the gate! It was a terrible noise but, it worked. There sphere of magical energy dispersed and the lay there in a heap. Shit...Most of the ponies that had been flattened were starting to get up. I couldn't allow them to have a second wind," While there down! Kill them all!" That sent every pony in a rampage. Big Sis, Mouse and Bella raced to me," Hurry, don't engage any ponies until your right next to the twins!" They nodded. I stopped Mouse before she went on to carry out my order," Tell Cutter that I want every pony to charge as soon as we clean up here!"

"Yes, right away!" Mouse took off in search of Cutter. I began to go after them.

The gate ahead looked like the only one separating us from Malories door. It was a good feeling to be a little closer but, all the ponies in this section were doubling and fast. They jumped from the upper levels or, came from the other side. I could see more of the mares from the earlier fight in the court yard. Most of them watched with disdain. I galloped quickly and tried to make my way to the twins. They didn't look so good. Big Sis had a very worried look in her eyes as she inspected the two. Bella and Mouse stood guard. I was sure that nothing could stop me from getting there. I was proven wrong quickly....A black griffin landed in front of me. Her beak was cracked and a silver locket hung from her neck," Your Silver eh? Well, i'm Wave. " Her claw came down fast, it sliced open my cheek as it went by. I blocked her follow up attack with my hoof as she brought it down again."Wooo! You want to live huh!?" She stretched her wings out and scooped me up in her claws. I tried desperately to get out of her grasp but she was very determined to hold me tight. Fuck me! I can't believe this bitch is going to off me!

I bit her leg but all that did was make her giggle. I looked over and saw Ripper and Breaker coming full speed. I could hear Ripper cackle loudly as she rammed into Wave. Breaker caught me as the black griffin lost her grip on me," I got ya chica! Close one huh?!"

Breaker set me down, I kissed her," Thanks, please take care of that griffin..."

"Of course chica...." Breaker smiled but before she could take off, Riper was thrown to the ground. The griffin looked annoyed, she got up and glared at the black griffin who had landed behind us.

"Thats it!" Ripper yelled, she took to the air.

"Get out of here Silver, me and Ripper got this covered!" Breaker flew upwards and engaged with the black griffin. I really hoped Breaker could handle her. I took my mind off subject and continued to the twins.

They were on there hooves this time. They had already started up another field of energy. I saw two mares in fishnets charge at the twins. The others were busy with some of the Heavy Weights. One mare had a razor blade. I pouched her to the ground and quickly grabbed it from her. I slit her friends throat, she held the wound and fell to the ground gurgling. I stabbed the other mare in the back of her neck. I could hear her shriek in pain as I dug the razor in further. A chain wrapped around my neck. I was fast enough to put a hoof in-between them before the rest wrapped around. Great, I finally catch it and the damn things a fucking chain this time...I was postponing a quick death but, the chain was still chocking me. The mare on the ground looked familiar. Shit, its that golden mare! I thought Bella killed her already! Pobally another Night Gale thing...how was she able to do that...? She took the razor from her neck," I *pant* *pant* I'm going to enjoy this.....!" She sliced my stomach a few times. I yelped loudly. The sting was a sharp pain, fuck her, I bucked her in the head. As soon as I did that she went flying backwards. That in turn got me pulled closer to the red stallion that the jade mare was with. He dragged me to him. I could hear hime laugh. " Grimm *cough* Fucking kill her!"

"Yeah...I'll finish what Cirly started...." He pulled tight and whispered in my ear," This, this is for my girl..." He pulled back hard. It would have killed me but a blade was lodged in his hoof. He jumped back, shaking his hoof widely to get it out. Fuck, what kinda of leader needs this much saving.

"I got your back!" Mouse galloped to me. The stallion picked up the chain again. I had already gotten loose, so I waited for a clear shot. Her smirked and jerked the chain in his direction. I lunged for him, I was sure i'd get him this time. He swung the chain in a sweeping motion. I ducked and rolled behind him.

The chain missed me but caught Mouse. Her neck was caught in his grasp. She had her one knife ready, I'm guessing with the death hold she couldn't comftable kill this bastard. The gold mare was about to punish her more, as the red stallion strangled her. He didn't look happy, in fact he seemed stuck. He tried to get his hoof out. The knife! It was keeping the chain in place. I jumped on his back and started to choke him. He fell over, the heavy bitch, and gave Mouse some breathing room. She took her blade and started to relentless stab the golden mare.," Fucker!" The stallion choked out." Your gunna...." He couldn't speak. I choked the large stallion out. He was unconscious at this point. I picked up the knife and jammed it in his throat. The blood was inviting...I had no time to indulge. Its not like I've actually eaten a pony before. But lately, i've had the urge to...

I looked behind me. More of Malories mares were coming for me. One was yelling something, her mouth wide open. I saw something fly in her mouth. She started to choke and hold her throat. After a short while she blew up," YES!" Thread yelled in glee. She engaged the mares and started shoving grenades in there mouths. I galloped over and threw them at other ponies getting closer. "On my last bombs! Everything! Must! GO!" she yelled maniacally. I smiled at the insane bomb maker. Some slashers started to flank her on both sides. No need to stick around for long...

Cutter was guarding the twins with the others. I looked up and got a painful view of Ripper being rammed into a wall. Breaker was just getting up from being slammed. I could tell because of how much blood was coming from her mouth when she got up. I didn't dwell too much on details. The twins were picking up some speed. Cutter must be directing them this time. One more push, and we'll be knocking on Maloies door. I raced to the slashers as fast as I could. I dodged a few mares and killed at least three. Most of the slashers got disorganized. A huge mare was throwing them everywhere. I had to make sure this didn't slow us down. I could see Stomper and Val cutting at her hooves. Watermark was thrown past the twins."Trip!" the dew yellow mare screamed as the large mare put her hoof on the mares head. She tried to charge her but, the larger pony swatted her away. The dew yellow mares eyes were devoid of life after that. I heard Trip shriek. I was unsure if it was because of her head getting crushed or her friend dying instantly. I stepped in front of the large mare and jabbed my hoof into her neck. She was caught of guard and started gagging. Stomper pulled Trip from under the mare.

"Snippy!" Trip was trying to attack the mare, Stomper threw her down and held her there.

"Stand back!" I yelled," The twins are about to make another push!" The slashers looked behind me, they all look wide eyed. I was starting to feel very bad all of a sudden. Suddenly, our weapon was nearly used against us. Every pony in the cell block was trying to dodge the speeding bubble. The larger mare tried to hold it back but it was too powerful. She was crushed under its power and it squashed any pony in front of it. Some of our ponies didn't make it, the gate however was destroyed and the ponies behind it were already storming in. The energy had dispersed, but, where are the twins?

"Yes," Tart and Tangy yelled together," It worked!" I smiled as they cheered and jumped. Big Sis smiled at the two. The look in her eyes made me, happy...she really grew closer to them. That moment was ruined when both the twins were hit with a red beam. All the Slashers and Black Lable had been dispersed. It was a clear shot...

"N-no!!! Get up! Dammit, get the fuck up!" Big Sis shook the mares. I could see Night Gale chuckle as more of Malories mares pushed through. I could see another beam burst from her horn.

Breaker swooped down in front of Big Sis and the twins. Her wings shielded her. The blast was absorbed and was held in a tight struggle for awhile. We all stood there in awe as Breakers wings stood up against Night Gales blast," How is that even possible!" Night Gale yelled. She finally let up. Breaker unfurled her wings and shook off the magic energy. How is that possible?

The black griffin wasn't done though. She had pinned Ripper and cut through her throat with her talons. Breaker darted for the griffin but wave was faster to react. The both fought in the air. We all came to our sense and started fighting again. I found Cutter fighting of a few Heavy Weights. She broke one of their legs and bucked her to the ground. She handled most of them like it was another day at work. I joined her and took one of the mares down in triple the amount of steps she took," I need you to get my mares together, we'er going to push right through!"

"What! are you insane!" Cutter said punching a mare in the throat.

"The twins aren't going to be able to pull of that ball again," I said cringing a bit, blocking a hit from a pipe.

Cutter back handed the mare, she landed on her back. She proceeded to crush the mares wind pipe before continuing,"If there even alive Silver!"

"They are!" I punched through a mares face. I was shocked at the force I had presented. I slid my hoof out, my coat was slick with blood. Cutter nodded in disgust and began making her way to Big Sis. I hope their fine...

I pulled thread away from a fight and finished the mare off quickly,"Hey what the hell!" Thread yelled

"Bring me Swipe and Lion, hurry!" Thread looked at me confused but nodded and raced to the front lines. I needed all of them for this one. I looked over were Night Gale was. The jade mare had jumped in along with some other familiar ponies. Malorie was watching over the fight. A lager contender was on her right. She wasn't a giant, or a pony...A female diamond dog...She smiled with pointy teeth. Her tail wagged as she noticed me. Malorie whispered in her ear, the pooch seemed unhappy after that. A smirk was still present though. That fucker, watching from her throne. I just needed to handle her...then this would be over...We weren't getting very far with all the bodies dropping on our side. I needed to turn this war around for us.

The black griffin landed in a heap next to Night Gale. Breaker had a bloody mouth but smiled mischievously," Hah, ok i'm here chic! We making the big push!?"

Thread came racing back with Lion and Swipe. They had beat few ponies down to get here but they were here," Oooo, I've been waiting for this!" Lion roared with pleasure.

Big Sis came along with Cutter. The Twins looked a bit scorched but ready. They had been through so much and gotten so much stronger now. Bella and a bloody Mouse came in the huddle," We should be ready..." Cutter said wiping blood from her mouth.

"Alright...we need to pull ourselves together. Make it tight. Push down any pony in our way. If you need to break off then do it. But I need to get to Malorie, then we can end her...You all ready....?" They all nodded. My ponies were beaten, hurt, bleeding and even a little burnt. I wasn't lacking a loyal pony though. We started the charge. Bella cracked a few mares with her bat. Mouse and Swipe cut through a few bastards. Their blood drenched us all over. I could see Malorie and Night Gale smiling, it made me sick. Cutter closed lined an unsuspecting to mare and Lion jumped ahead to ponce another. We were getting closer, I could almost smell Butter's stench on Night....Gales....breath? That....fucker....! Breaker was caught off guard by the black griffin. She was tackled to the ground. I couldn't look back, I heard a sound I didn't want hear. I kept going. Thread was taken down by a purple striped mare as we closed in on Malorie. Red Star jumped out of no where and started pummeling Cutter. So fucking close! Keep going! A small white mare with black and red face paint tripped Big Sis with a blow to the face. The pipe came around to take hit at her ribs. The twins kept going as well as I did. They put up a shield but it was destroyed by a baby blue stallion. He took them out of formation quickly. Shit! This is falling apart fast! A lavender mare with white face paint took Bella down. The jade mare was already targeting Swipe, Mouse jumped away to help. Me and Lion were the only two left. We stopped. I looked back...It wasn't easy to see. I chuckled silently, we were getting a asses kicked.

"Well, Silver, I never thought you'd actually get this far. I'm more amazed at how you sacrificed all of your top fighters to get to me! Hah, maybe not too amazed. Its something I would do really." Malorie smiled. She stepped down from her stage. The diamond dog and Night Gale followed.

Lion got ready to pounce," Silver...I can only attack one. So give me some fucking orders baby!"

I knew that if she tried to attack Malorie that the diamond dog and Night Gale would kill her quickly. I couldn't let her face down a unicorn alone..."You always wanted to try a diamond dog sweetie...have at it..." I put my hoof on her shoulder,"One...."

"This here is Missy, she's been waiting for a long time to meet you Silver. Wanna see how she plays fetch!?" Malorie teased.

"Two..." I kissed Lions ear, she purred.

Malorie looked a little annoyed," Ok, stop your counting Silver, once you shitty pet jumps...she's dead..."

"Three," I whispered to Lion. She pounced Missy after I pushed Malorie into Night Gale. A red beam shot into the air. Lion and Missy were fighting fiercely. That left me, Night Gale and Madem Bitch.

"Whatever, that just means we get to toss her around a bit. If you don't mind Malorie, I want to smash this bitch up." Night Gales horn glowed and I went flying. I could see Breaker flying wildly as blood drooled from open wounds on her chest. The black griffin was a little beat up, but not enough...I was brought back down. The impact broke the tiles on the floor.

"Thats...all you got," I stood up shakily. I cracked my neck and shuffled forward.

"No, it isn't," A bright red beam struck me. I held my hooves up and blocked some of the shock.

Another beam hit me, and another. I was blocking them but the sting was unbearable. My bones vibrated. My skin was even burning a little. I could feel my will to keep this up dwindle. But a different feeling welled up inside at the same time. I felt myself, change again...I needed to take her out. Just long enough to deal with Malorie. Another beam burst at my hooves,"Enough!" I rushed Night Gale. She shot another torrent of beams at me. I dodged them, most of them. My coat sizzled in the spots she caught me. I jumped, what a dumb thing to do, my hoof was pulled back. I was ready to beat her face in. A beam cut right through me. She held the magic shot for awhile. As much as she tried to stop me, I kept going. I made contact with her face. I punched her left and right. Night Gale could barley keep up. The beam should have killed me, but I kept coming. Another beam shot ou but I threw her face down. Her hoof came around and knocked me off.

"Damn...I guees i'm not the only one with a secrete." Another beam shot out. It divided into five and started circling around me. The beams were shooting past me and closing me in quickly," But, i'm sure your new skill set can't help you out here.

Maybe not...I pushed outward with my blackened hooves. I strained under the pressure, my eyes clenched shut. I opened them. I could feel it....I could feel the bleeding. But they glowed bright red. Its all I could see. I absorbed the magic. Night Gale bawked at the scene. She was stunned. I closed the distance and started choking her," Hows it feel? To have your magic used against you!?" I filled her throat with her magic. It was too unstable. Her neck blew wide open. She wasn't dead though just trying hard not to pass out. I left her there to struggle.

"Great, an even bigger freak than her. Fine...." Malorie took off her big coat and threw it to the grond. I could see a larger scar across the suit wearing mare's neck,"...I'm tired of dealing with you. You've had so many chances to walk away or, even join me. But no. You have to make a fuss and be more than what you really are..."

"What the fuck would that be?!" I asked stepping closer. She didn't even get ready for my strike.

"Why, that'd be a fuck toy sweetie. You were property, to me, you still are." A rushed the mare but she caught my hoof. A blade came from hidden pocket in her suit jacket. She stabbed me in the shoulder. I pulled away quickly. She smiled," You thought i'd be weak or something....?"

"Honestly, yes. I wasn't excepting someone like you to actually fight. I'm sure your expecting to win huh?" I asked licking my wound.

"Oh baby, i've planned a party and everything. Im going to parade you and your friends dead bodies to the whole damn prison. Then, i'll use your body like a sex doll until I get bored..." Malorie lunged forward with the knife.

"Oh really," The blade entered my chest. I was done with trying to move out the way. The blood ran down slowly. Malorie stared in confusion. I held her hoof and pulled her in closer. The blade punctured me all they way through. Me and Malorie were touching noses at this point," You think its going to be that simple babe," I kissed the mare then head butted her. I threw her against the base of the stage. I could feel my chest burn. Somehow, I was still going. The beam through me and the knife...I could take just a few more but....

"You crazy bitch!" the back of her hoof knocked me off balance. I caught her other hoof and turned her away from me. I bite her neck and teased at ripping it open. Her head busted my nose," ARRGGGHHH! You can't come into my home and fuck with me like that!"

She sliced at my neck, a large cut appeared. I ducked under her and got behind her. Two punches to the back of the head made her stagger but she quickly sliced at me again and dug the blade into my stomach. She tried to open me up, her hoof jerked upward. Before she could gut me I stopped her," You want get the satisfaction of killing me! You don't get that pleasure!" I pushed her away. Swipe came crashing into the stage. The jade mare came galloping with both Swipes and her blades out. She juggled the blades and threw swipes directly at her. I pushed Swipe away and avoided the weapon.

"Damn, its you again..." The jade mare huffed. she jumped on Swipes sword and hoped onto the stage. Swipe woke up and got ahold of her weapon. It didn't take her long to chase her down.

My head was grabbed and smashed into the edge of the stage. Malorie went for another but I bucked her in the stomach. Night Gale got up with a healed throat and a gasped," Now....were where we..." Jest and cherish came crashing into Night Gale. Stomper and Water mark held her down. Val wielded a clever and tried to bring it down. The mares were all lifted in the air."You are soooo fucked!" Night Gale brought Water mark to her and ripped all her limbs off. She had a beam slowly cut through cherish. She took Jest's eye out and started cutting up Val with the cleaver. Somehow Stomper shielded Val with her back but the cuts were too server. What have I gotten these ponies into?

I turned Night Gale around and broke her concentration. She dropped the mares a they writhed in there own unique pain. I smashed her face into the ground and bucked her head reapeadty," Just die already!"

"....S-stop! You pitiful slut!" Night Gale lifted me up. I could see jest angrily grab the cleaver," I thought we'd be something Silver. I'd fuck you, you'd prasie me. I could have made your life better...! Look at you now! Your just trash!" Night Gale started to strangle me.

"Don't ever...hurt my Cherish again, You fucking screw up!" Jest struck Night Gale in the head with the cleaver.

Night Gale turned to her and dropped me. She ripped the clever from her head," Here, you dropped this..." The cleaver was pushed slowly into Jest stomach. She didn't scream. She just...squirmed...

I got behind Night Gale but Malorie punched me away," No! We'er just getting started!"

Jest was looking pale. She might be a Zebra but she was defenatly losing color. Cherish tried to move and so did the others. The pain must have been too much...Jest...i'm sorry...

"Everyone! Fucking stop!" The jade mare yelled out. Night Gale was frozen with a strange fear when she looked up. She dropped Jest. Jest lay there, barely breathing. I looked up. Malorie laughed uncontrollably," You see her Silver...? You want her alive?" The jade mare hade her blade at Butters throat.

My teal mare was looking in my eyes. I could see her fear. I reached out to her, but the jade mare dug her other blade into Butters back," Ah! Shit, she gets it!" Butter rasped loudly.

"If you think I won't cut her up Silver....trust me, I will do it. I'm trying to be reasonable...." The jade mare smiled," You did cost me three of my most trustworthy ponies."

Swipe fell off the stage, her blood streaking the edge," Sorry Silver, she told me if I didn't take some hits...I couldn't risk it..." I held swipe close to me. The mare was near death. I looked around, just about every pony I enlisted was dead or getting there...

Malorie hopped up on the stage. She grabbed one of the jade mares blades and held it down to her mare hood," You see this Silver...I'm going to cut this out and give it to you! Hahahahahah! What do ya say chick! Call it even? You can still take this piece of shit with ya if ya want. I mean, all you want is this sweat pussy right?" Malorie dug her knife in.

"F-fuck you!" Butter rasped nervously.

"Gladly baby...I prefer using sharp objects though. Hope your ok with that..." Malorie licked her neck. and giggled.

"What the hell are you doing?" Night Gale asked," You know I need her alive!"

"Calm down Gale, Dots still alive right....?" Malories asked pulling the blade back up to Butters throat.

Night Gale looked over to me. Her eyes pleaded to me. What? She's hoping I didn't kill her...fuck you Night Gale..."Of course she's dead...Once she told me that little trick of hers I ended that little bitches life!"

Night Gale looked at me in amazement," You...no. You would never do that. You love these stupid cunts too much!" Tears of rage fell from the unicorns face.

"So...I can get rid of YOU and make Silver regret ever living....thats nice.." The blade slowly slide across her neck. Blood leaked like a facet. Then she stopped," Bring all of those mare here. Her pets....I want them to be next! Cause why stop at one!"Malorie cackled.

The black griffin, Wave, brought Breaker. She proudly tossed her on the ground. Her clawed foot rested on her head. Breaker looked worn. Her eyes met mine, she smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back. The oddly strong white mare dragged Big Sis, I could see her eyes searching for the twins. Her frantic eyes locked on mine. Three mares held her down so she wouldn't move. The twins were dragged in next...unconcious I hoped. Missy pushed in Lion. She wanted to fight back but I urged her to let it go. Red Star tried to get Cutter to comply. The prideful pony wouldn't give in," Get the hell away from me!"

Red Star Threw her down and broke a fore leg," It's either you watch you friend die or, I break all your legs until you pass out...."

"Cutter! Just get in line already!" I yelled. She siged and limped over next to lion.

A lime green mare brought in Bella and Mouse. The mare had Mouses weapons strapped to Bellas bat. She would hit them with it whenever she felt like it.Thread was thrown down by a striped mare. I looked over at Jest, she was on her way out. Water Mark was as good as dead. I didn't know how much longer the rest would last. Dammit...Upper Management...

"You can't do this Malorie, we had a fucking deal!" Night Gale yelled.

"I'm trying to enjoy this moment! I'm going to make sure she never forgets it!" The blade continued. I saw Butter tear up. She squeaked as her neck was slowly sliced open. Lion tried to move but Missy dragged her back. Cutter had another leg broken. Butter tried to scream my name as Malorie quickly swiped the blade across her throat to finish it. My beautiful mare...all I could hear were here gurgles. She reached out for me..."Bring her up! She wants to be close!"

The jade mare took me from Swipe. She threw me in the puddle of blood that Butter had made. Butter held me as best she could. I-I...I couldn't give up," Baby...I'm going to save you ok..." I whispered...Butters eyes had already started loosing life," Baby!? Dammit Butter....answer me!" I turned to Night Gale. Malorie had already called up of the twins," Night Gale....I need your help..."

"You've killed me...now you want to escape....?" Night Gale started to laugh,"I didn't think she would do it...I thought she wanted to scare you. How foolish of me..."

"If you save her, you can still live...Come on Night Gale! It's not to late!" I yelled. The jade mare was trying to force me to turn my head.

"Come on Silver, your little sisters are up next," She whispered sweetly in my ear.

"It doesn't work like that...once there both dead...I loose that power Silver....She's gone" Night Gale took the cleaver and brought it to her neck.

"I didn't kill her you fucking idiot! You'er right! I couldn't possibly get rid of Dot! I love them too much Night Gale!" The jade mare forced my head to stare at the crying sisters. They smiled at me as Malories faced them toward each other. If they had any energy left...they could just use magic. There horns continuously fizzled and shot out random sparks. Malorie put the blade at the back of Tangys neck. It would go through her's and her sisters at that angle."I...I need you to trust me..." They nodded there heads. The blade went through there necks. There hooves serchered for me frantically.

"S-s-silver!" Tart squeaked.

"W-w-we l-love you....." Tangy squeaked a little louder.

"There dying Night Gale! Please!" I screamed. Malorie slapped me. I fell to the ground. Meekly I spoke,"...Night Gale....please..."

A red glow surrounded the bodies of Butter and the Twins. I could see the blood suck into there bodies as if they had become sponges. Night Gale was vulnerable and Malorie had already ordered her mare to kill her. Night Gale kept them away from the bodies but she was slowly loosing stability over the situation. Lion bucked Missy and lunged forward. She started blocking ponies from getting to Night Gale. Soon the Slashers were breaking free and my mares retaliated all they could. The jade mare was constantly swinging her blade at Night Gales horn. I used my own body to block as many of the strikes as possible. I was getting dizzy but the blood loss was nothing compared to how good it would feel to see them again.

The twins gasped and fell off the stage. I was too busy noticing that I forgot about the crazy fucker trying to kill me. The jade mare ran the blade right through me," You know something Silver? I actually rely liked playing with you! I wish things were different...Oh well!"

I smilled, Butter was almost with me again...The jade mare raised an eyebrow and withdrew her blade. I dropped to the ground. This isn't good. A shield surrounded Night Gale and me as the fighting around us grew even more desperate than when this started. Jest taclked the jade mare and Chrish followed. Butters eyes opened. She let a gasp and a loud shriek before collapsing to the floor. Night Gale sighed and stared at me with a look I couldn't quite describe. Breaker and Wave crashed into the twins. Shortly after the shield dropped. The jade mare wasted no timed and cut Night Gales horn off, she then came around and put her sword through her neck,"Sorry Night Ghale...can't have that happening anytime soon!"

Butter grabbed her and started to choke her, the jade mare just laughed. Malorie was looming over butter with another sword. No! Not again I jumped for the knife. Before I could reach it sirens started to go off... Chains shot up from the floor and wrapped every pony and the dead bodies in painful coils..." I hope I didn't miss anything!" Rather late, Upper Management...
