The Dead Of Night: The Menace Returns
Chapter 6: The Massacre
Previous ChapterAs soon as Rainbow Dash heard the flapping of pegasus wings, she intensified her attempts to wake up the still unconscious Pinkie Pie. With the alicorn drawing nearer, Rainbow did the only thing she could do, she slung Pinkie over her back, and galloped full speed in the opposite direction of the alicorn that she knew was coming for them. Before long, Pinkie Pie was stirring, but Rainbow kept her pace, she wasn't slowing down for anything, not even what she had been trying to do for the past hour.
"Ugh! Rainbow? Where are we going?" Pinkie asked confused.
"Can't... talk... gotta... keep running." Rainbow replied as she kept speeding away.
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie said, hopping off and running alongside Rainbow Dash.
As they passed the next couple of trees, the black alicorn that had been perusing them teleported directly in front of them.
"Where do you think you're going?" She asked, levitating both Pinkie and Rainbow a few feet off the ground. "The party hasn't even started yet. I was just coming to get you." She said with an evil smirk.
"A party?" Pinkie repeated, surprised.
"I don't think it's THAT kind of party Pinks..." Rainbow said nervously.
The alicorn's horn began to glow even brighter, as she teleported them back to where Twilight, Fluttershy, and the other four alicorns were waiting.
"Ah!" The leader alicorn began. "Now we can get started!"
"Get what started?" Twilight asked, "We don't even know what you're going to do to us!"
"We're going to kill you, of course!" the leader said. "But we are going to make Rainbow Dash watch every single one of you die, so that she can hear your screams, and not be able to do a thing about it!"
With that, she turned to Fluttershy.
"I think we'll kill you first, my dear..." she said with a smirk.
"NO!" Rainbow screamed. "Please, do whatever you want to me! Just let my friends go!!!"
"No," the alicorn shot back, "you took away our sister, no we are going to take all of yours."
With that, she began to inspect Fluttershy, thinking of a way to begin the execution. Fluttershy just whimpered in fear, and Rainbow tried to escape the other alicorn's hold, to no avail, her magic was too strong.
"Twilight?" Rainbow said. "Can't you use your magic and get us out of this mess?"
"What do you think I've been trying to do?" Twi shot back. "They must have used a magic surpression spell on me, I can't even use my horn as a light source."
"Ah ha!" the purple alicorn said. "I think I know how I'm going to kill you now."
As she finished speaking, her horn began to blow, and Fluttershy's fur began to separate at her middle, along with Fluttershy letting out an unending scream. After several minutes, Fluttershy's skin began to break along where her coat was separated, and she started screaming even louder. Eventually, The skin had completely split apart at the center, the muscle underneath being exposed. Soon enough, the muscle finally broke, then the bone, and Fluttershy was then completely pulled apart, blood spattering everywhere, completely bisected much like Rarity before her.
Rainbow was crying, unable to move or close her eyes, she just had to watch as one of her best friends was pulled apart.
"No... Fluttershy..." Rainbow said between sobs.
"Just as we had hoped you would respond..." the purple alicorn said, staring Rainbow Dash in the eye.
"Buck you..." Rainbow spat.
"Better be more polite to the pony who is going to spare your miserable life." the alicorn said. "Now, who's next Rainbow Dash?"
"What?" Rainbow asked in shock.
"Who do I kill next? I want you to decide, so that you can hold yourself responsible for their death." the alicorn said with a grin wider than Pinkie Pie could ever dream.
"You're sick!" Rainbow said. "I'm not going to choose who you kill next!"
"Me!" Twilight yelled at the alicorn. "Kill me next! I'm not afraid of you!"
"I'm sorry but I do believe I asked Rainbow Dash to choose, not you." the alicorn said with a wave of dismissal. "Alright Rainbow Dash," she said, turning to face Rainbow Dash once more, "who do I kill? Pinkie Pie? Or Twilight Sparkle?"
"I'm not playing your twisted game!" Rainbow said, staring the alicorn in the eye with more defiance than she had ever felt in her life.
"Alright," the alicorn said, "I guess it's Twilight than."
With that, she turned to Twilight, and proceeded to inspect her much like she did Fluttershy. After several minutes, she looked like she had finally figured out what she was going to do.
"I think..." the alicorn began, "I'll start with your hair."
Another alicorn, one with a dark grey coat and blood red mane, then brought the leader a long, curved knife, which she accepted. She then used the same knife to cut off Twilight's mane and tail. Twilight didn't even flinch, she was going to show that alicorn what she was made of, even if it meant dying in the process. She just stared into the alicorn's glowing, red eyes, not breaking her stare no matter what happened.
"Huh?" the alicorn looked surprised, "So we have a fighter than." she lowered the knife to Twilight's stomach, "How about this then?!"
With that, she jabbed the knife right into Twilight's abdomen. Twilight almost lost it, but regained her composure and stared the alicorn down again. Not satisfied, the alicorn continued to stab Twilight in different places all over her torso and limbs. After about twenty stabs, Twilight finally lost control, and began to let out cries of pain with every stab and cut. The alicorn, now happy that she was getting Twilight to scream, ramped up her routine by cutting open Twilight's stomach and tearing out every single organ one by one. As Twilight took her last breath, the alicorn violently tore out her heart, blood spraying all over herself and Rainbow Dash, who was screaming for the alicorn to stop.
"Stop.. Please stop." Rainbow sobbed.
"Once again, no!" the alicorn said, turning to her final victim, Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie only shivered, her face contorted in fear.
"Now, what shall I do to you?" the alicorn said, eying Pinkie Pie. "I think... yes, that will work."
She then picked up the knife, and brought it to Pinkie Pie's flank. She then began a circular cut around Pinkie's Cutie mark, and, once she had finished, tore the skin from the muscle. Pinkie let out a long and painful scream, much to the discomfort of Rainbow Dash, who was, once again, yelling for the alicorn to stop,
"PLEASE!!! STOP! DON'T HURT PINKIE PIE!!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
But the alicorn wasn't paying attention, she was busy looking for another place to stick the knife into Pinkie, and she decided to stab Pinkie right in the stomach, then her lungs, and finally, she stabbed Pinkie right in the eye, killing her instantly.
"No... Pinkie... why?" Rainbow sobbed at the loss of her friends. She was the only one left now.
"Well, that was fun." the purple alicorn said with an air of finality. "You can let her down now." she said to the black alicorn that had been holding Rainbow Dash up the whole time. She did, and Rainbow then became instantly fueled by adrenaline.
"Big mistake..." Rainbow said, bucking the black alicorn's face in, crushing her skull and sending bits of bone and brain matter flying all over the place.
She then rammed the blood red alicorn, smashing her in the stomach, knocking her over. Once Rainbow Dash got on top of her, she brought both of her front hooves on the red alicorn's face, crushing her skull and brain as well. Rainbow then moved to the midnight blue alicorn, and proceeded to repeat the process on her as well. Now with only two alicorns left. Rainbow made a mad dash for Ponyville. Going faster than she had a year ago when she had to escape the first alicorn. She then started flying, causing a sonic rainboom and knocking both of the alicorn's off of her trail if they had been in the first place.
Meanwhile, the two remaining alicorns standed where they had when Rainbow was first released, still dumbstruck over Rainbow Dash's speed and agility.
"I didn't expect her to be that fast..." the dark grey alicorn said.
"Me neither..." the leader agreed, "We should have killed her too. Oh well, at least I managed to put the nightmare spell on her while she was unconscious."
"But what about our sisters?" the midnight blue alicorn asked.
"We will bury them like we did our other sister." the leader replied calmly.
"Alright, and what of Rainbow Dash?" the blue alicorn asked again.
"As I said, I managed to put the nightmare spell on her, so it shouldn't be long before she returns." the lead alicorn explained.
