Guess Who’s Back?
Rainbow Dash walked through the front doors of CHS, she could hear her fellow students around her snickering as she walked past them. She could hear their whispers about her.
“I didn’t know she was into girls, but I guess that explains the long glances she’s sent my way.” A female student mocked.
“Too busy chasing after girls and showing off than her own school work, no wonder she’s so dumb.” A male student mocked.
Rainbow gritted her teeth, just listening to them bad mouth her really pissed her. “God damn you Sunset.”
Rainbow Dash opened her locker and took out her textbooks for her class, as she closed her locker she was meet with the concerned look of her number one fan and surrogate little sister Scootaloo. “Hey Scoots, how ya been?”
“Rough morning?” Scootaloo asks her idol.
“Am I that obvious?” Rainbow Dash asks with a grin but it drops as she lets out a frustrated sigh. “I can’t believe I let her fool me again Scoots, I really thought that she had changed.”
“Hey don’t beat yourself up Rainbow, Sunset had everyone fooled and she has done it before.” Scootaloo assured Rainbow.
“Which makes me fell more stupid for falling for it again.” Rainbow said as she walked away from Scootaloo, missing the look of sadness and guilt on her face.
During class Rainbow zoned out the lecture that the teacher Cranky Doodle is trying to teach the class, instead choosing to observe her fellow classmates. Tensions are high in the class as she noticed the looks of disdain her classmates shot at one another, her gaze fell to Sunset’s empty seat.
I wonder if Gilda went overboard on Sunset. Rainbow Dash thought. Whatever, Sunset had it coming anyway.
The morning classes went by as usual and soon it was time for lunch, Rainbow set her tray down on the table she sat with her friends, each of them not looking any better than her.
“Howdy sugarcube.” Applejack greeted her rainbow haired friend who responded with a simple “Hey.”
“Are you still feeling the ill effects of that picture Anon A Miss posted yesterday?” Rarity asks.
“Yeah, but that’s not the only thing that’s bugging me.” Rainbow Dash says as she takes a bite of her sandwich.
“Um is it Sunset?” Fluttershy asks nervously and the whole table goes silent.
The silence is broken when Rainbow slams her fists against the table. “I can’t believe she would stab us in the back like that!” Rainbow shouted in anger. “After what we’ve been through during the battle of the bands, even after we hung out a lot and the sleepovers…..I thought for sure that she was our friend….our family!”
The girls cast their gazes on the table, their expressions somber.
“Whenever I saw Sunset smile, it made me so happy to see her having fun and enjoying having friends.” Pinkie Pie said, her mood no longer as chipper as usual. “But she was just smiling because she had us fooled again.”
“We trusted her.” Fluttershy spoke, her voice quivering. “We opened our hearts to her and she goes and breaks them!”
Fluttershy started sobbing as Rarity held her in her arms. “There, there Fluttershy, you mustn’t let what Sunset did keep you from being your beautiful self.”
“I guess granny Smith was right, once a bad apple, always a bad apple.” Applejack says as she lowers her hat to cover her eyes.
As the girls reflect on the friends that betrayed them, a message alert sounded from the cellphones of everyone on the lunchroom.
“Great, what did she post now?” Rainbow groaned, she couldn’t check her phone since she loaned it to Gilda.
Applejack reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, she logged into her Mystable account and her eyes widened at what she saw.
“WHAT IN BLAZES?!
The rest of her friends are startled by her sudden outburst but then they hear the rest of the students in the lunchroom let out gasps of horror.
“OH MY GOD!!”
“SWEET JESUS!!”
The girls were confused at everyone’s reaction until Applejack showed them the reason and their faces paled at what they saw. There on the Anon A miss’s page is a picture of Sunset Shimmer, beaten to a bloody pulp, her hands are chained by her wrists and hoisted above her head, her face and exposed arms are covered in bruises and lacerations, her right eyes is swelled shut, blood running down her noise and the corners of her mouth; her clothes are also covered in blood and are torn in certain places. There was a caption on the bottom that read “Who’s laughing now?”
The girls felt sick to their stomachs and Fluttershycovered her mouth with both hands in absolute shock and horror, Rainbow Dash stared at the image, her eyes tracing over all of Sunset’s injuries.
“No.” She whispered. “This is insane.” This wasn’t what Rainbow Dash expected, this was far worse than anything she could have ever imagined.
At another table the Cutie Mark Crusader were just as shocked as everyone else but more so for a different reason.
“N-no way.” Scootaloo stared in horror at the beaten image of Sunset.
“It..it wasn’t suppose to be like this.” Applebloom stated, her face going pale at what her actions had done to Sunset.
“It’s our fault, we did this.” Sweetie Belle said as she started trembling, tears welling up in her eyes.
Suddenly another message alert sounded and accompanied by another image popped up, but this one displayed the horribly mangled corpse of a male student known as Dumbelle.
“T-that’s Dumbelle!!” A student suddenly blurted out.
Dumbelle’s body had several deep gashes, his intestines spilled out on to the floor, his throat was ripped out and his arms torn off his body, a look of absolute horror permanently etched on his face. Some students quickly ran to the nearest garbage can and threw up their lunch. But then more message alerts sounded as more images popped up, each showing another student, killed in the most horrible way possible.
The members of the wonderbolt’s soccer team stared in horror at their team member Lightning Dust who’s back, arms and legs are bent against their normal way, her face is too frozen in horror and pain.
The next Image showed a frightened Gilda as she was sitting on the floor backing away from something, then the next image showed A dead Gilda with a hole in her chest and her heart in the bloody hands of her killer. Rainbow Dash couldn’t believe what she was seeing, what exactly was going on?
Then the next image showed the dismembered body parts of the students on the floor and spelling out out the words.“Guess Who’s back”And around them is a very familiar shadowy silhouette of what appears to be a woman with demon wings and flaming hair.
“It can’t be?!” A student shrieked.
Suddenly they all heard a loud booming sound coming from outside causing them all to rush towards the cafeteria windows to see a column of black flames erupt from the ground before being dispersed by bat like wings and revealing Demon Sunset.
The students stared in horror as the demon Stared back at them, a sinister smile on her lips.
“Hello everyone,”
