The Dead of Night: The Final Showdown
Chapter 3: Into The Forest
Previous Chapter Next ChapterRainbow Dash, Night Rain, Blade Cutter, Vinyl Scratch and Spitfire walked to the everfree forest, ready to finish what started so long ago.
"I don't care who gets the blue one, but the purple one's mine." Dash said, anger starting to creep into her voice.
"You got it Dash." Night Rain said.
The five headed into the forest, and it wasn't long before they saw who they were after. The two remaining alicorns turned to face the five trespassers.
"So, you finally return." The dark purple alicorn said to Rainbow Dash. "And I see you've brought some friends. Not that they'll be able to save you."
"I don't care if I die today, but I'm not going down without a fight!" Dash shouted in anger.
"So be it, but I must remin you that we have magic, and you have nothing." The alicorn said.
"Wrong. You see, we did bring a unicorn with us, and she isn't just good at being a DJ, she knows a lot if combat spells along with a magic surpression spell. Which, she cast as soon as we saw you." Rainbow explained.
"Oh really?" the alicorn asked, unamused. "And just what makes you think I need magic to kill you?"
As the alicorn finished speaking, she lunged at Spitfire, grabbing her in a headlock. Then, she jumped back to her sister, who took spitfire from her.
"And now, we can negotiate." the leader alicorn said. "Leave now, and your friend survives, try anything, and she dies like the rest of your pitiful friends that I so beautifully killed already."
"And like I said, we're not leaving without a fight." Dash said back.
"So be it, sister!" the alicorn said. "Kill her."
The blue alicorn nodded, and held Spitfire as far away as her forelegs would let her, she then brought her horn level with Spitfire's heart, and plunged it deep into her chest. Spitfire tried to escape, but couldn't. As her blood slowly drained out of her, she managed to say one final thing to Rainbow Dash, who only watched in horror as her CO died.
"Rainbow Dash..." she began. "Don't... let them... get away with... this." Spitfire then went limp, and she slid off of the alicorn's horn, which was now covered in blood.
Rainbow heeded Spitfire's final words, and lunged straight at the purple alicorn. The alicorn saw this coming, and swatted Dash away like a foal would a spitball.
"You really think that you can kill me?" that alicorn asked, almost laughing. "You'll have to do better than that!"
She then grabbed Rainbow by the throat, and held her against a tree. Night Rain saw this, and ran straight at the alicorn, but her blue sister got in the way, and Night Rain crashed right into her.
"Not so fast." the alicorn said, pinning Night Rain to the ground. "Now we get to see how long it takes for you to scream."
The alicorn brought her front left hoof down on Night rain's face, hard. Night Rain felt the pain, but didn't react. She wasn't giving in to the menace that had caused her best friend to go almost completely insane.
"Go ahead, do it. I'm not afraid to die for my friend." Night Rain stared the blue alicorn in the eye as she said this.
"Okay then." The alicorn brought out a knife that she had been hiding under her wing, and was about to stab Nught Rain in the gut when Blade Cutter knocked her on her backside.
"Nopony does that to Night Rain!" Blade shouted at the blue alicorn, who was getting back onto her hooves.
"Well, aren't you a clever one." The alicorn said to Blade.
Blade Cutter grabbed the hilt of her sword between her teeth, and brought it to bear.
"I see you have a sword," the alicorn said as she dusted herself off. "Not like it'll make any difference."
While all this was going on, Rainbow Dash was still being held against the tree by the purple alicorn.
"Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?" Rainbow said, staring the alicorn in the eye.
"Because that would ruin the fun of seeing your reaction as your friends die." The alicorn explained.
"Well you sister doesn't seem to be doing a very good job at killing them."
"Yeah, especially when you're too busy to remember the fifth trespasser." Said a voice from behind the alicorn.
She turned her head around, only to take a hoof to the face as Vinyl bucked hard.
"That's for Fluttershy," Vinyl hit her again, square in the face. "that's for Applejack, and Rarity, and Twilight, and Pinkie." she brought her hoof up high for the final strike. "And this is for Dash!" she slammed her hoof down on the alicorn's face, which was now badly bruised and swollen.
"Alright Dash." Vinyl said, turning to Rainbow Dash. "Have at her while I help Night Rain and Blade Cutter."
With that, Vinyl walked over to where the midnight blue alicorn, Blade Cutter, and Night Rain were fighting. The alicorn had Night Rain unconscious, and was now fighting with Blade Cutter one-on-one. Blade tried to stab the alicorn with her sword, but the alicorn was too quick, and dodged the attack with ease. She then grabbed Blade Cutter's sword right out of her mouth, pinned her against a tree, and proceeded to stab Blade multiple times in the belly. After stabbing the helpless earth pony ten times, the alicorn tossed her a few feet away. Blade Cutter landed in a heap, and lay there helplessly as the blood drained from her bleeding stomach. She just managed to catch a glimpse as Vinyl charged up a spell, and unleashed it at the blue alicorn, completely disintegrating her in a flash of white light. Blade Cutter blacked out from the blood loss, and died a few moments later.
