"What?!" A group of ponies exclaimed. Tears welling up in their eyes as the statement span around their head.

"That's right. She's going to die. Today I believe." The griffin cackled.
"With her gone, the Creed will crumble. Leaving Equestria vulnerable to attack!"

Two griffins stood in the throne room of Canterlot Castle. Along with the five bearers of Harmony, the two elder alicorn rulers and three members of the Wonderbolts. One of which sat down on the floor, holding his head in his hooves.

"What do you want with Equestria? Why can't you accept our peace?" A violet alicorn shouted.

"Because I'm sick of ponies! I'm sick of ponies being the superior species! It's my time to rule!!" Feather yelled. His daughter beside him lowering her head in shame. She never wanted part of this. Yes, she thought ponies were dweebs, but that's because her best friend sided with them. She still liked ponies. She just wanted her friend back.

"You seem to forget, King Feather Tail, you rule beside us. You are our friends." Princess Celestia hushed. She wanted this to stop. She's just so tired of all of this. Also, she was wondering where her younger sister was.

"Friends? We are not friends. And don't call me king. I am not some namby pamby monarch. I'm a ruler!" He hissed.
"And I will become ruler, of Equestria!" Feather pointed at his two griffin guards by the door, next to two pony guards. He nodded as the the two griffins slit the the ponies throats. Making them gasp and splutter with blood, before falling to the fall. Their blood staining the marble floor.

The four guards beside the thrones of The Sisters, held out their spears. Attempting to protect the princesses and the other ponies.

"Well done. You killed two ponies. Now, you have at least three armies to kill off." The white unicorn smirked. Feather walked towards the pearl white mare, who stood her ground. He brushed his claw through her luscious indigo curls.

"Such a pretty pony. It's such a waste. To be weak and feeble." He muttered.

"Weak? I'll have you know, sir, that I am no pathetic lady. I know how to defend for myself. I know how to fight." Rarity's horn lit up with her elegant pastel blue aura, before flashing brightly.
As the light quickly dispersed, the griffin gasped. The unicorn mare now wore a stunning white cloak. With a red belt around her waist. Also, a brown belt was strapped around her waist, holding a dagger and various other weapons. Her horn was still lit as she held a beautiful diamond encrusted bow and arrow set.
"For I am a follower of Rainbow Miriam Dashery." She grinned beneath her hood.

"Such a waste of a good looking pony. Say, how many have you really killed?"

"Too many to count. But I hold the blood of a hundred, to see you dead." She growled.
"I would kill you now, but I feel it's more appropriate for my leader to drain your blood away."

"Your leader is dead!! She should be dead!! I injected her with the poison! I also hypnotised the princess to kill her if she didn't die quick enough!!" He shouted. Everypony turned to the lavender alicorn. Staring at her.

"Wait." The ice blue Wonderbolt stood up. "What exactly did you hypnotise her to do?"

"Let's find out shall we." He sneered, bringing out a whistle. As he blew into it, Twilight stood up straight. Before trotting to the griffin's side. Her eyes filled with hatred and evil.
"My little darling. Tell us, what are your duties?"

"Break the Leader of the Creed. Kill the Leader of the Creed." She hissed.
"I killed her, sir. Her bloody body now lays in on the floor of her chambers."

The ponies gasped in absolute shock. Their friend had been corrupted.

"And now, I can have him for myself." Twilight pointed at the Co-Captain of the Wonderbolts.
"No more stupid Rainbow Dash. You will be mine."

"I didn't add that bit in, but sure. You can have him. You have helped a lot by getting rid of the Leader of the Creed."

"Actually, you are quite mistaken." Rarity interjected. "For you see, when you get rid of the Leader, rules state that the sprouse will take their place. If there is no spouse, the next pony in line takes it. That would be Lyra Heartstrings. She is a great pony and fighter."

"Bring out this Lyra! Bring her to me!" Feather commanded.

"However, Rainbow Miriam Dashery does indeed have a spouse." She and the others turned to pegasus stallion. Who staggered back.

"Wait, what?" Soarin coughed, as Rarity trotted to him.
"Rainbow can't be dead."

"I'm so sorry, Soarin. She's was a brilliant mare. And we shall all miss her. But, it's time for you to take her place."

"Nononono! I'm not an assassin! I can't kill ponies!" Soarin shook his head.
"I haven't had any training."

"You have. Rainbow trained you. She wasn't preparing herself, she was preparing you."

Soarin stood there, gobsmacked. Is that why Rainbow was so determined that he must help? Is that why she insisted that he joined in? His mind span around, twisting and turning.

"She's dead."

"Take her place."

"She's dead."

"Then take her place."

"She's dead."

"Stallion up, Soarin!! Yes, she's dead. But you can continue her memory."

"....."

"She would want you to do this."

"Yes." Soarin muttered, his head down, his eyes shut. His friends stared at him, before consoling him.
"For Dashie." He whispered.

Author's Notes:

Hi guys. Sorry for the kinda late chapter. I didn't know whether I should have Twilight hypnotised or not. It was that or the dark magic she used in Season 3 and Season 4, had grown inside her. Causing her to be evil.

But no. Hypnotise is better.

Next time, Princess Luna and Lyra find something grim. Discord joins the others in the throne room. And Lucille finds something that he kept as a dark secret.

Thank you for reading and comment below.
