It had been a week since the incident in Fluttershy’s cottage. Ever since then, Fluttershy would spend her time secluded inside her room at Sweet Apple Acres, after Applejack offered her a place to stay. This was mainly because Fluttershy couldn’t bare to return to the cottage where she once lived so happily and peacefully.

Traumatized, she never stopped singing that awful song Phantom had sang in front of her. What’s more is that her legs have been so horribly crushed that she could never walk again. Nor could she fly, since Phantom ripped her wings off.

Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Trixie tried to prepare themselves for their battle against Phantom. If it could even be considered a battle more than trying to do something to save their lives, the ones that were working their hardest were Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

Applejack for her part knew and was even willing to accept her fate, she knew all of them had done horrible things to him, she knew they even deserved what was coming to them but she wasn't going to let Phantom kill her without a proper fight. ‘Ah should’ve found the little feller and apologized when ah had the chance.’

Rainbow Dash, on her part, was fully set on not letting Phantom get away with what he was doing. Stubborn as usual, she was convinced that his revenge was unfounded and that she didn’t deserve what was going to happen. She couldn’t fathom the idea that Phantom was out there, preparing to kill them mercilessly for something so insignificant, even less for Pinkie, her once best friend, to side with this monster was just the icing on the cake.

She held her brash attitude, her eagerness and her normal boasting self to everypony’s eyes, but deep inside she was terrified because of what Phantom did in the Crystal Empire, what he had done to Fluttershy and the elite guard only served to demonstrate he was a monster set on destroying those who had lied and had used him. Those who never appreciated his efforts and his affections. And mostly, destroy those who betrayed him. Even if she thought she didn’t deserve it, Rainbow knew he was right.

Twilight and Trixie were practicing almost every waking moment, training themselves for the upcoming battle, learning every single spell out there that each of them could master. Some spells were even forbidden dark spells, performed by King Sombra himself, all on a effort to be able to stand up against him.

Twilight regularly begged Trixie to leave, Phantom had no ill will against her aside from some minor ‘problems’ that did not deserve to be faulted as downright awful. But Trixie refused each time, saying she would rather die along her side in a horrible, agonizing, brutal death than to run like a coward only to regret it for the rest of her life. Starlight was the show mare’s first real friend and she loved her with all her heart and that was the truth.

Rarity continued to design dresses. They, however, lacked a central frame. She knew Phantom was coming for her. She thought countless times, that she was going to be the last one whom Phantom would kill. She felt a slight bit of happiness knowing her sister was with their parents, and away from danger. Fancy Pants meanwhile was away on business.

Her thoughts however were rudely interrupted by a green dust floating by the open window. She like the rest knew it could be only one thing. The dust materialized into a scroll. Rarity was shaking, fear taking over her breathing. She hoped whatever was in this scroll wasn’t bad. Using her magic, the white mare begin to read.

Dear White whore, Rain-Bitch, and Apple-Jerk.

If you're reading this, then that must mean I didn’t made it clear to you. When I said not to run, that applied to your families as well. I might as well tell you how I found out where your families are, In case you have forgotten, Queen Nightmare is the goddess of the NIGHT, meaning she can enter dreams! You’re lucky I asked her not to break the minds of the ponies she enters. That being said, I assure you that Big Mac, Cheerilee, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are all fine. Sadly, AJ, Granny Smith unfortunately died when we tried to take her. Believe me, your grandmother’s death actually saddens me, since I got along so well with her. And it pains me to kill Big Mac as well. Beside several other stallions and colts, he was the best when it comes to our game nights. Anyway, I hope to see you girls tonight.

Sincerely yours, Phantom

“No... he... Spike is coming...” she whispered as the scroll fell to the ground, echoing in the emptiness of her boutique.

Celestia was sitting on her throne room alone, not even her guards were with her, she had ordered that she didn’t wanted to be disturbed for the day, she had a lot on her mind, and how could she not? Four days ago, three and a half weeks after the deaths of Cadance and Shining Armor, the Crystal Empire erupted in an uproar, the ‘Loyalists of the Dark King’ were taking over the Empire little by little, almost half of her army was over there trying to oppress those so called loyalists, the other half was divided into the rest of the kingdom with a special task force guarding the elements from the shadows. Even if Phantom told her not to send more guards to protect Twilight and the others, she wasn’t going to let him win that easily.

Spike, the one she once called her son, she remembered the day she saw him as a little hatchling, all those atrocities she had done to his family, to his kind, and to him. From the moment she adopted him, everything she did suddenly vanished, and was replaced by a true and genuine motherly glee. Very few knew of their relationship.

Celestia couldn’t help but smile. Those days where she came to her chambers, exhausted after a full day of laws, treaties, and pesky nobles, to find her little dragon baby sitting on her bed, waiting for her with a smile on his scaly lips and the laughter only a little child could produce, all those times he called her mommy, all those times he said that he would protect her, that he would be there for her, that he loved her with all his heart made her smile grew more and more. And yet she couldn't remember the time when all changed.

“I’m so stupid.” Celestia said to herself. “Where did I go wrong? Everything was going so smoothly, so perfect.” A coy laugh escaped her lips. “I finally had my baby, the baby I always wanted, I was happy, Spike was happy and then... and then I failed...I failed as a sister, as a ruler, and most importantly, as a mother.”

Celestia clenched her teeth in anger. “Now many ponies will suffer for my stupidity and incompetence... All because I couldn't be a loving mother towards a son... a son who was dying on the inside.” For the first time since Luna’s return, tears began to fall from the sun deity’s face.

Outside the cloud mansion that was Rainbow Dash’s house, the said pegasus was tossing and turning in her bed. She couldn’t sleep, not after what Phantom did to her childhood friend, not after he ponynapped AJ’s older brother, Cheerilee, and the CMC, not after the nightmares that constantly plagued her dreams. Nightmares of AJ dying in her hooves, having her legs ripped away by a monster that she once called a friend. She sat up drenched in sweat, she couldn’t stay here. She couldn’t stay here alone. She knew the one pony who’ll help her. She needed to be with her lover, AJ.

Dash hopped out of her bed and zipped out the window, heading for Sweet Apple Acres. Flying as fast as possible, she arrived to her lover’s home, she saw a light turn on and descended to the ground. The moment she touched the ground she saw about ten figures moving through the bushes and the distance.

“Show yourself!” Rainbow shouted and, almost immediately, a small regiment of guards came into view, six pegasus and five unicorn guards. “Who are you?”

“We're guards sent to protect you by order of Princess Celestia,” answered a pegasus guard.

“I thought Spike said he didn’t wanted to fight against any more guards.” Rainbow asked them.

“Yes, but we volunteered,” one of the unicorns said. “We’re not going to let that monster come and kill the bearers of the elements just like that. If he wants to kill you, he’ll have to go through us first.”

“B-but...” Dash tried, but was cut off.

“Please don’t say anything, just go inside and stay with Lady Applejack.”

Before Rainbow could reply, the guards disappeared from her sight, leaving her alone in the field. Letting out a sigh, the bearer of loyalty flew the rest of the way to AJ’s room. Upon reaching her destination, Rainbow found her lover sitting on her bed. Applejack tearfully stared at the floor, seemingly unaware of her marefriend’s presence.

“AJ?” Rainbow asked while trotting toward her, but to her surprise, the orange mare leaped up and wrapped her in a tight embrace. It didn’t take long before her cyan coat was matted with her tears.

“A-Ah-Ah…” Applejack sniffed. “T-The nightmare... Ever since we got those letters, ah kept havin’ nightmares. Ah saw Big Mac, his special pony, and mah little sister all tied up...”

“Take deep breaths AJ,” Rainbow Dash consoled.

H-He asked me if I love em more than you. Ah didn’t know what to say...” It was obvious who Applejack meant by ‘he.’ The tears of the cowpony kept flowing, but she continued her explanation. “H-He killed each one slowly, sayin’ that ah never loved em...”

Rainbow patted her marefriend’s back, “Shh it’s alright AJ. It was just a bad dream,” Dash said, calming her down. In all the time Rainbow has known Applejack, she’s never seen her this scared.

“Dash... I don’t wanna be alone tonight...”

“You’re never alone, AJ. Plus, you have Fluttershy with you. How is she, anyway?”

“Poor girl’s still the same, she hasn’t stop singin’ dat song. Other than that, she’s fine.”

Rainbow nodded and laid down. AJ followed and gave her a soft kiss which Rainbow gladly returned, quickly turning into a heated passionate one as their tongues slowly met. The two mares drew closer in their embrace, entangling each other passionately. AJ broke the kiss, moving her lips lower, causing Rainbow’s body to shudder in delight from the softness of AJ’s lips as the farmer reach her destination, her lover’s wonderfully beautiful forbidden flower, moistened from their passionate kiss as she began tasting and licking in bliss.

Rainbow softly panted, feeling the warm breath on her delicate parts as she drew wetter with each breath. “A-Apple-” She let out a soft gasp, feeling AJ’s tongue lap around her clit, sending Rainbow’s mind into a haze, completely forgetting about the world around them. She didn’t care if Phantom and his gang bursted through the door and kill them right then and there, all she wanted was to be with AJ. To pleasure her. To show her that in this dark world, she’ll never alone.

Rainbow moans became louder once she felt AJ’s hoof replace her tongue on her clit. “L-Let me repay you, AJ.” Rainbow said flatly, prompting the cow-pony to shift her body over to her, exposing her to the most beautiful sight she could ever hope to see, the same sight she’s been dreaming of ever since she first saw the orange mare. Wasting no time, she leaned in and let her tongue run against her slit, soaking in AJ’s juices as they ran down her tongue, making the mare on top shudder in pleasure. Rainbow enjoyed everything about her, from the taste to the light scent of apple that wafted into her nose. She wanted more. She wanted to taste every inch of her. She slid her tongue inside and forced a sharp gasp from her lover.

“AHHH, Dashie!” AJ moaned, feeling that tongue of hers at work, making her walls tighten from the sudden intruder, causing RD’s tongue to work even harder as she kept up her assault on Dash’s clit, receiving twitches and intense buckling of the hips between licks.

Their pleasure built as AJ took Dash's clit into her mouth, sucking it fiercely as Dash screamed, “AHHH! YES, JACKY! RIGHT THERE!” Before quickly doing the same for the orange mare, sucking and gently licking on each other's sensitive clits. With one final moan, the two mares both released their juices onto each other's lips, savoring the taste from their climaxes.

Coming down from their climax, AJ leaned up and turned back to Rainbow for another passionate kiss, intensified by the wonderful taste of their own juices mixed together.

“Ready for the real fun, sugarcube?” asked the still horny orange mare. Dash nodded as AJ moved her hips down, forcing both of their wet slits together and sending shivers up both of their spines.

Then they moved, grinding their flowers against each others’. Both mares kept moaning the other’s names as the pleasure again build between them. Neither wanted to stop their love for each other, but Rainbow stopped to lay down as AJ leaned up on top of her, grabbing RD’s right hind leg, allowing her better access to her wet nether regions with hers. Rainbow pressed her lips firmly against AJ, stuffing their moans as the two rubbed faster and faster. AJ broke the kiss when they both screamed each other name in a humorless tone as they reach their climax, spraying their juices all over themselves.

As they came down from there high, the two kissed. It wasn’t deep or just a peck, it was full of love and passion. “Ah love you RD.”

“I love you too, AJ,” The cyan pegasus softly said as the soothing comfort of a peaceful night’s sleep finally embraced them.

The guards stood ready and strong for anything. According to the letter, the one the elements received earlier, Phantom was going to attack three of the elements that night, and they were preparing for a fight, sharpening their weapons, exercising, and just about everything to be ready for anything. Not a word was shared between them, not even a single glance, they had to be ready for anything their enemies could throw at them. What they did not know is that Phantom anticipated this resistance and sent a few individuals to deal with the guards.

The guards spotted two figures approaching. One was a young unicorn mare while the other was an elderly looking griffon. However, the guards could tell from the armor they wore that they were working for Phantom and charged. This would quickly prove to be a foolish mistake.

Phantom and the others watched everything unfold from a distance. These two strangers, who easily overpowered Celestia’s guards, were two of the Zodiacs, trained by Midnight Blossom. Their names were Goldbeck and Ruby Bandit.

Ruby Bandit was a young unicorn mare who lived up to her name, as she came from a thieving and uncaring family. Phantom caught Ruby’s parents defiling the Everfree in search for goods. The moment they spotted him, they pushed their own daughter towards him as they ran away. Of course Phantom didn’t eat her, rather he took her under his wing. During her training, Ruby had her body genetically modified by Nightmare Moon’s dark magic. She then had Midnight train her in hoof to hoof combat. Even after being taken in by Phantom, she still retained some of her greed. She also learned the hard way never take treasure from comrades, much less a dragon.

Goldbeck was an elderly, but powerful emissary from Griffonstone. Goldbeck was one of the more honorable griffons. Like Ruby, Goldbeck was trained in physical combat thanks to his time when Griffionstone was in proptive. Even now, his old age doesn’t falter his combat in the least.

Despite his fierce loyalty to Phantom and Nightmare Moon, Goldbeck still had an eye for bits. Yet, he always put his mission before the treasures around him. Ruby Bandit on the other hoof, was more interested in gemstones.

“Let’s make our little treasure hunt a quick one,” Goldbeck said gruffly as he removed a sack of bits from one of the defeated guards.

“Agreed, Phantom sure does hate it when we take our sweet time.” Ruby use her magic to open the sack she took, and was a bit disappointed only to find four bits.

“Are you guys done yet, we have an order to keep.” Phantom, along with Pinkie, and Starlight appeared from the shadows.

“My apologies, sir. Did we take too much time?” Goldbeck asked.

“Nah, you were off by a couple a minutes, tho.” The dragon look down at the defeated guard. “I thought I told you two to ‘take care’ of the guards.” Phantom crossed his arms, waiting for an explanation

“We did,” Ruby assured, “We just-” Before the two could reply three more guards, two pegasus with bat wings that wore the golden armor for Celestia’s day guard, the other was a white pegasus with a blond mane appear behind the alicorn, dragon, unicorn, and earth pony.

Nightmare turned around to see Phantom, Starlight and Pinkie actually surprised about the three guards quickly discarded their spears and bowed before them.

“What is the meaning of this?” Nightmare asked, clearly confused.

“With this action,” both replying at the same time, “We show our love and loyalty towards you.” Discarding their helms and breaking the spells on them, they revealed their true faces, Lunar guards.

“I thought Bitchlestia disbanded the Lunar guards,” Phantom growled.

“She did, master Spi- I’m sorry, Phantom.” one of them quickly corrected himself. “Most of those treacherous scum joined the solar guards. But some of us, the ones loyal to you and our rightful princess, decided to help you from the shadows and inside the castle, we are few but you have us at your disposal.”

Nightmare, Phantom, Pinkie and Starlight all shared a surprised look, they truly hadn't expected such an event, but they weren’t going to waste such help. Even if it was little, their help could prove to be a great aid to them.

“If you are speaking the truth then you will allow me to scan your memories.”

For a moment both of them stood still while the magical mane of Nightmare wrapped around their heads, after ten second she let them go, smiling at them.

“You speak the truth and we are happy,” she said, eyeing them once again. “Go now, inform the rest that the Lunar Stallions are no more! From this night on, you shall be the Nightmare Guard!”

“Goldbeck, Ruby Bandit you may go back to the Empire and assist Zecora.” Nightmare commanded. Both pegasus nodded and without a second thought, flew away to their destination. They needed powerful figures to aid them in this revolution and this girl had displayed an unusual determination.

Phantom smirked and suddenly placing a claw on Luna’s back, right above her wings. The sudden action caused the alicorn to blush. “You know, I can understand why they’re still to loyal to you,” he said, caressing her lightly. “I mean, wouldn’t want such a wise and beautiful goddess as their queen?” This attention caused the queen’s blush to intensify.

Pinkie Pie bounced around the two, “Oh! Don’t forget kind! ... Ooh Ooh! And passionate! You can’t forget about passionate! I mean just the other night, Queen Nightmare-” She was cut off as Nightmare wrapped her mane around the mouth. Any more out of the motormouth and her face would turn completely red.

“Enough talk you two,” she said, trying to hide her immense blush and happiness. “We have to pay a visit tonight.”

“You’re right,” Phantom said, letting go of his teacher, unaware that she still tried to lean back against him.

“Shall we start the party?” Starlight asked causing Phantom to smile. The two then vanished in a burst of flames.

“Now then... let get started.” Nightmare giggled, making her way to the house.

“Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie said grimly and saluted, following Nightmare.

Rainbow and AJ were sleeping soundly. RD dreamt about flying with her heroes, the Wonderbolts. Performing tricks while her four friends, her student, and marefriend watched and cheered.

AJ dreamed that she was sitting under a golden apple tree with her marefriend. The sun was setting as the two leaned against each other. The precious moment, however, was interrupted by the sound of the door slowly opening. Applejack opened her eyes, quickly remembering that she locked all the doors in the house so no pony could come in, and the only ponies out there were the hidden royal guards.

‘Maybe they came inside fer a drink?’ the cowpony thought. However she heard metal clanging hoofsteps, follow by a plain one. ‘Wait a tick, royal guards are on duty. And nopony should’ve been able to get in!’ The realization hit Applejack harder than her brother bucking an apple tree. She frantically shook Rainbow Dash, wanting her to get up. “Dash, Dash! wake up! Somepony is here! We got to grab Fluttershy and get out!” AJ shouted in a whispering tone at her lover’s ear.

“Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen,” said a voice all too familiar.

Rainbow awoke, yawning and mumbling, she was about to protest why was she woken up so rudely but stopped when she saw the fear in AJ’s eyes. Seemingly understanding, she hopped off the bed and both of them cautiously shot towards Fluttershy’s room. As they moved between the corridors of AJ’s home, they could see nothing but darkness and it was almost completely silent. Opening the door to Fluttershy’s bedroom, they couldn’t help but gasp in fear. There he was: Phantom, tenderly stroking the sleeping mare’s mane, whispering the song that had traumatized her.

Phantom stopped and looked up to the entrance Rainbow and Applejack were standing in, smiling at them.

“I can see you two ‘relaxed’ a bit before we came here,” he chuckled, causing both mares to angrily blush. “And I have to say, I feel a bit frisky myself.”

“H-How the hay did ya get past the royal guards!?” Applejack demanded.

“I guess neither you nor that fat bitch of an alicorn got the memo,” he sighed. He removed Fluttershy from his lap, leaving the butterscotch mare trembling in her sleep. “I was very clear when I told you skanks not to run or send any guards to protect you. If you had followed my terms, they would still be alive.”

The two mares charged at the dragon, but Phantom just stood there. Rainbow was the first to land a hit, her hoof making contact with Phantom’s scaly cheek. Applejack followed the pegasus’ lead and bucked Phantom in the stomach. Unfortunately, both attacks proved to be ineffective when the drake cracked a smile.

“Idiots. Dragon scales are able to withstand the heat of lava and tough enough to withstand a sonic boom. Attacks like those only might tickle me.” He then pulled his arm back, “I can’t say the same for a pony, however.” This time, Phantom was the one to hit Rainbow Dash’s cheek, sending her flying through the wall and into Apple Bloom’s room. He then wrapped his tail around and hit Applejack, slamming her against the hard wooden floor.

Rainbow got up, and with a burst of speed, charged at the dragon once more. Phantom side stepped and held out his arm, easily clotheslining her. The impact of his arm cause her to skid out of control, hitting the wall beside Applejack.

Applejack leaped into the air, hoping to bodyslam the monster. That didn’t work, as Phantom had seized AJ by the throat and slammed her through the top two floors, landing her in the basement with a sharp yelp of pain.

Phantom looked down at the hole he made, only to see AJ getting back up. Phantom sighed, “Stubborn as always.” He looked up, only to be greeted by a pair of hooves bucking him in the face, causing him to growl in annoyance.

Applejack slowly got up and looked up as the hole Phantom had made. ‘That brat! When ah get back up there, ah’ll literally rip his-’ Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud crashing sound coming from upstairs, followed by another. Soon the sound of many hooves touching the wooden surface, squeaked throughout the house.

‘The guards... are here?’ the orange mare thought, as she took a step towards the stairs. If Applejack’s theory was correct, she’d have to warn the guards that Phantom was about to kill her lover. However, the sound of hooves moved in two different directions. Some going upstairs, while the others were heading her way.

Meanwhile back upstairs, Rainbow Dash was on floor again coughing up blood. Evidently, the cyan has been roughed up pretty badly by Phantom. She slowly rose as three gray ponies enter the room, followed by Pinkie, Starlight, and Nightmare Moon.

Phantom turned his attention to Nightmare as Rainbow struggled to get back on her hooves, but to no avail. “So how many guards did you have?” he asked, “This slow ass mare is beginning to bore me.”

Rainbow Dash didn’t take the insult well. Forcing herself to get back on her hooves, her wings flapped from the new blood rushing through her body. But all of that ended when she saw a soft lime green glow encase her body. She could no longer hide her fear as she shakily looked up to see Phantom’s claw glowing the same color.

Phantom brought Rainbow Dash closer to him and cupped her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. “You know, it disgusts me just to look at you, Rain-Bitch. You go around acting like a hotshot, but I know that deep down inside, you’re an insecure bitch worried about your future. That’s why you often pranked and tore me down, to make yourself feel superior.”

Rainbow glared at him, but couldn’t help shivering at the same time.

“I-I-Is that supposed to scare me?” Phantom tightened his grip on her chin in response to the question.

“Even though you’ve officially become a member of the Wonderbolts, you’ll never be like Spitfire.”

“B-Bastard…” she managed to spit out.

“Quite frankly, I’ve had enough of you playing hero,” he growled, letting go of Rainbow’s chin. “It’s time to sleep.” He lifted her up via magic and tossing her through the wall and into the ground outside the house. ”Oh, brilliant!” he spat as the three guards were ordered to make sure she was still alive.

Rainbow Dash had finally woken up and looked around to check her surroundings and saw it was dark, humid, but, most of all, noisy. She could hear voices, voices she didn’t recognized. She tried to move her legs, but something was holding her down, or keeping her from moving at all.

“Long time no see,” one of the voices said. “I’d like to play a game with you, Dashie.”

“Who’s there?” Rainbow asked, still off-sided and confused.

“Can’t recognize my voice? Of course you can’t. After all, you seem to forget your friends pretty quickly,” Pinkie said as Dash looked around, seeing she wasn't the only one in the same condition.

“W-What in the hay? W-Where are we?” asked a moaning red stallion, who was beginning to wake up. His green eyes spotted his litter sister, Apple Bloom, and his fiancée, Cheerilee, bound and gagged with guards standing by them. The red stallion tried to move, but his fore legs were chained into the wall. Using all his strength, Big Mac pulled at the chains, but his attempt in brute strength proved useless, as neither the chain or wall would give in. He turned his head and found AJ just waking up.

“B-Big Mac...w-what in the hay are you doing here?! Ah though you and the other...” Her sentence was cut short, remembering that Phantom had ponynapped them.

“Now that everyone’s awake... Phantom, would you be so kind to explain the rules of our little game?” Pinkie asked while Nightmare sat by the stairs, eating some popcorn Pinkie made for her. This ensured her that the show wouldn’t be boring.

“Of course.” Phantom said. ”Alright. Slowass,” Dash cringed at that word slow. “Since you don’t like anything to do with a penis, let’s test your lover’s loyalty towards you. I wonder who AJ loves more... you or her family? The rules are easy.” Phantom moved the pegasus to Mac, shoving her face against his crotch. “I will ask a series of questions. We all know Applejack won’t ever tell a lie. So here’s the deal: the more truthful she is towards you, the more her sister, and soon to be sister-in-law, will be raped by these stunning, and, might I add, well endowed stallions.” The drake cleared his throat and walked over to AJ, her eyes wide in shock and fear, while signaling the guards to get ready for some fun, Apple Bloom and Cheerilee cringed and tried to free themselves at that moment.

The six dark gray stallion that stood side by side, each member stood hard from anticipation and ready to take the school teacher and the teenage filly, eagerly awaiting the signal.

“But the more truthful you remain to your family, the more your big brother will have his way with her,” Phantom said darkly.

“YOU’RE OUTTA YER MIND!!” Big Mac shouted.

“Starlight, if you’d please?” Phantom asked glancing at the light purple mare.

“With pleasure,” she said lighting her horn. A spell then hit Big Mac in the head, making him drowsy for a second before snapping his eyes open with a purple glow over them.

“Ah will do as ya say, mah master.”

“Master? I like that,” Phantom chuckled darkly. “Now AJ, what will it be? Who are you going to let be raped? Your lover by your own brother, or your family by these royal guards?”

“Yer a monster,” AJ mumbled, looking at him with pure hate in her gaze.

“Monster? I doubt you would comprehend how much I suffered, so what gives you the right to call me that?” Phantom snarled.

“It’s your fault that you betrayed our beloved boss, so don’t blame him!” Pinkie stated, childishly sticking her tongue out. She then reached out and grabbed the country mare’s head. “Besides, the readers would love to see that bitch of yours suffer.” She pointed Dash who was looking back.

“Pinkie, what are you talking about?” Starlight asked.

“Oh, we’re all in this story called... You know what, I’ll be quiet now, before the author kills me off as well.” Pinkie zipped her lips shut, leaving everypony and dragon confused. Phantom let out a chuckle, as Pinkie’s randomness amused him to no end.

“Anyway,” Phantom said tapping his hand on Rainbow. “If you refuse to answer, then all of them will be punished severely…”

“First question,” Phantom began with a smirk. “Was Rainbow Dash your first lover?”

“No...” Applejack reluctantly answered. Rainbow was struggling against Big Mac when the answer arrived at her ears, which made her look at AJ surprised, and slightly betrayed.

Phantom grinned knowing what he’ll ask next. “Then your first lover, who was she?”

“What makes you think it was a mare?” the orange cowpony asked with a smirk.

Normally that remark would had angered the purple dragon, but he just rolled his eyes. “Alright then,” he said, “Since that cheeky remark that doesn’t answer the question...” Phantom was about to snap his claws, which would inform the guards and the controlled Big Mac, to do as they please.

“NO PLEASE! AH’M SORRY!” the orange pony pleaded, looking at her rainbow-maned lover with a look that begged for forgiveness. “Her name was Maple Tree. She was an earth pony who lived in Ponyville but moved to Baltimare. She was like a goddess. Her amber mane and tail, her light brown coat, and her lime green eyes.”

Phantom was eating up the moment, “Who was the better lover?”

This made Applejack blush. She didn’t know what to say. Maple wasn’t as rough, but she was passionate, Rainbow was both. She knew Phantom wouldn’t forgive her if she refused to answer the question a second time. “M-M-Maple was the better lover!” she yelled, causing Rainbow’s eyes to widen at the outburst. “A-A-Ah’m sorry Dashie... Please forgive me.”

Rainbow didn’t want to believe that this Maple was a better lover than she was. Her rose colored eyes turned to Phantom, who just waved at the red stallion to stand down for now. To him, this was too good to be true.

“Well Rainbow Slow, what do you have to say about this?” Rainbow Dash didn’t reply. “Nothing? Alright, moving on. Apple-Jerk, who do you love more?” the drake chuckled. “That self-centered bitch that your brother is over?” Phantom asked while both Apple Bloom and Cheerilee stared at the cowpony. The two struggled against the rope but it seemed useless. Both hoped, no, wished, that this nightmare was over, or that Applejack would answer right. “Or your family?”

AJ didn’t know how to answer this one.

Met with silence, Phantom shook his head while both mares looked in horror. He snapped his fingers signaling the four guards the do as they pleased.

“NOOO!!!” both mares screamed. Two of the guards moved towards the two mare at the same time, both their movements synced together. Their heads lean down to look at both there dry slits.

The yellow teen and violet school teacher felt violated from having their privates stared upon. The two guards move closer. Both the teen filly and the teacher closed their eyes, tears slowly dropped feeling their nether regions being touched by their tongues. Rainbow turned her head to see the two crying mares. She then looked to see Phantom, Nightmare, Starlight and Pinkie all just sit and watch the predicament.

“M-Make them stop! You only want us! They have nothing to do with this! “ Rainbow yelled, but her words fell on deaf ears. Phantom and Nightmare rolled their eyes.

“If you remember, dumbass. I asked Applebloom to the dance before Luna asked me.” the drake ranted. “Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against her or her friends. But this is punishment, AJ. Which brings me to my next question.” The drake rose a claw. Signaling the guards to stop what there was doing. “Tell us, Applejack, did you really believe I was innocent?”

“Y-Y-yes.”

“Then why didn’t you defend him?!” Nightmare demanded.

“Or go to find him when Discord told you where he was?!” Both Starlight and Pinkie asked.

“B-B-Because ah thought, maybe the story was true. M-maybe Spike did do something like that? Since he ate meat.”

Applejack felt a sharp pain as Phantom casted a stinging curse. “My name is not SPIKE!!” he roared, absolutely infuriated by what he had just heard. It was already despicable for Applejack to make the mistake of calling him by the name he threw away. For her to admit, she deemed him innocent and did nothing to help him, is what really set him off.

Phantom increased the pain causing Applejack to scream louder. Nightmare gently placed a hoof on his shoulder, and he finally ceased the curse.

“Really? Did you tell the ponies in town what happened?!” Starlight asked, getting into the orange mare’s face.

“Yeah,” Pinkie interjected. “Did you say how you and that slow, worthless, piece of crap known as Rain-Bitch helped that fat slut of a tyrant banish Phantom?!” Applejack was at a lost of words, hearing the hurtful words her pink friend was saying.

Applejack was forced to witness her sister and Cheerilee being lined up, ready to be raped. “Y-Y-Yes ah have!” she replied.

“And what did they do?” asked Phantom, folding his arms.

“T-They were shocked at first, but then they were glad you left.” He looked at Pinkie, who nodded her head. He then looked at Apple Bloom, then Cheerilee, whose eyes were opened, meeting the gaze of a now hurt and enraged dragon.

“The whole town was glad I was gone?” he asked, as his anger silently built up.

“Y-Yes...” she confirmed with a gulp.

Phantom looked at the two, then walk over to the bound earth pony. He pulled off the chain and grabbed her hind legs. “SO AFTER ALL I HELPED YOU, YOU BITCH! AFTER ALL THE TIME, YOU NOT ONLY BANISHED ME FOR SOMETHING I DIDN’T DO, BUT YOU ALSO CELEBRATED?! WELL FUCK YOU ALL! BETTER YET AJ, YOU CAN WATCH HELPLESSLY WHILE YOUR DUMBASS SOUTHERN FUCKING FAMILY AND SLOW ASS LOVER ARE RAPED AND YOU’RE HELPLESS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!” Phantom shouted, causing the windows to shutter.

The drake then pulled the farm pony’s leg to his mouth, his razor sharp fangs dug deep into her flesh and bone like it was nothing more than paper. Applejack screamed in agony, but neither Phantom, Nightmare, Pinkie, Starlight nor any of the guards could care less. Phantom pulled his jaw to the right, tearing the leg off the strong and proud earth pony. Blood sprayed out of her torn leg, some of her blood hitting the drake’s face and he simply licked it away with his long tongue.

Phantom drops the farm pony, and signaled the ponies to begin. The guards and Big Mac nodded and released them from their bonds. However, the three stallions pin the mares down. And with no consideration, the stallions became aroused via Nightmare’s magic.

Once all of the stallions were ready, each pressed their tips on the lips of their mares. The three pushed their hardened rods in the mare’s slits, causing two of them to gasp while the teen filly cried as her virginity was being taken away. Blood poured from her slit while the stallion pulled out, they push it back in, causing the three to gasp and whimper. Applejack could only stare in horror as the blood kept pouring out of her torn leg.

“L-Let them go, Spike. It’s me and Dash you want! They have nothing to do with this!” the cowpony pleaded. “Please, let them go and take me instead.” Applejack’s pleas, however, fell on deaf ears as the two stallions turned Applebloom and Cheerilee around. Both stallion spread their flanks showing their plot holes.

“P-P-Please, Spike. D-don’t do this, it really hurts! I’m beginning you!” the teenage mare pleaded, her eyes watery from the stinging thrust to her lower regions. Neither Phantom, Pinkie, Starlight or Nightmare cared. In fact, each mention of his former name just angered the purple dragon even more.

The two other guards grab their flanks, their shafts thrusting into the young mare and teacher’s plot holes, causing them to scream as loudly as they can. Rainbow felt Mac pulling his thick member out of her hole, and like the others, the red stallion thrusted his thick, well endowed shaft into her plot hole. The pain was unbearable.

“You can beg all you want,” the pink mare said, moving over to her queen of the night. “You all hurt Phantom in ways that would break anypony. You should’ve came with me. Discord told us where to find him. He would’ve accepted our apologies, but all of you were too scared to see how much pain Phantom was going though.”

Rainbow screamed louder than the teenage filly and teacher combined. The big red stallion pumped her as hard as he could. Her anus was bleeding from the large invader thrusting in and out. Applejack’s vision faded from the lack of blood. She had to do something to stop her brother from raping Dash. The guards too from raping her family. She had to. For her crying sister. For Dash.

The stallions kept thrusting their shafts inside the three mares’ holes. Using them as their own sex toys. The stallions groaned as their climax approached. The mares cried out as they felt their rapists’ members getting thicker. And without warning, the stallions poured their seed inside the three mares holes as the three cried out, horrified. After a few minutes, their climaxes came down and all of the stallion pulled their limp members out of the mares. The four sighed happily while the black alicorn ordered them to return to the Crystal Empire. They nodded and left the room as Phantom picked up AJ and smack her a few time before tossing her to Rainbow.

“It’s a shame, really. Apple Bloom and Cheerilee would make perfect breeding sluts for your guard Nightmare.” That was the last thing the mares heard before losing consciousness.

Applejack woke from her slumber sweating and panting. She looked around and saw nothing but darkness, but felt somepony on top of her. She released a sigh, seeing her lover RD was safe and sound asleep, but she was also sweating.

‘Was it real?’ She asked herself, rolling Rainbow to the side and stretching all four of her legs. ‘Wait,’ she thought, looking at her legs. She had all four of them. ‘Didn’t Spike tear em off?’ The cowpony took a step forward, feeling a stinging sensation on her hind legs. She look and saw a gaping hole where her cutie mark had once been. It was gone. “What in tarnation?!” AJ pulled the covers to see RD’s cutie mark was gone as well. AJ shook Rainbow to get up. The rainbow mare popped her eyes open and screamed.

“AHHHHHH! AJ!” she screamed wrapping her hooves around her. She was afraid and didn’t know what to do. After ten minutes of her marefriend pouring out her tears, the lantern lit in AJ’s dresser, with a note on it and a hourglass that glowed in a lime green aura, stopping the sand from falling. AJ turned and began to read.

Dear Apple-Jerk and Rain-Bitch,

I do hope you enjoyed the nightmare you had, because that’s what you did to me seven years ago. Oh, and I hope you don’t mind me taking your cutie marks, since you’re both going to die within the next the few minutes anyway. And I think I have a really fun way to pass the time! Let’s play a game! A game to see if you want to live. Here are the rules: there's a gas leak in the house and in ten minutes, the house, along with everything in it, will go up in flames. This house is boarded shut and has a spell protection, so the only way out is through the basement. But after the sand reaches the 2 minute and 30 second mark, both of the basement doors will be locked shut. The hourglass on the dresser will start once the doors to the house are opened and the game will begin. Will you save yourselves and leave those you love to die? Or will you stay and let the explosion kill you all? It’s your decision.

Phantom.

PS: I took Fluttershy with me.

As soon as the doors opened, the sand began to drop. AJ and Rainbow stared in horror.

“We have to go! Now!” Rainbow screamed, trying to flap her wings. But in attempting to move them, a sharp pain coursed through her body. She looked to her wings to find they were broken.

“W-we can’t... What about the others? Ah’ll get Apple Bloom and Scoots, you get Mac and Cheerilee.” AJ got out of bed and rushed to Apple Bloom’s room. There, she and Scootaloo slept soundly. She shook the two wildly, waking them up. Apple Bloom leaped into her sister’s arms, crying while Scootaloo tilted her head.

“Sis it was horrible! Spike and Nightmare...” the young mare choked. “T-The stallions...”

“Shh... it’s okay Apple Bloom. Right now, we have to get out of here.”

Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo ran downstairs. Rainbow did the same, but she was a bit hastened from seeing Mac under Nightmare's spell. But she knew she had to get them up.

“H-Hey!” Rainbow said, shaking both Cheerilee and Big Mac. “Hey, guys! Come on, we need to go! And I mean right NOW!”

Both the mare and stallion opened their eyes. Big Mac jumped out of bed, placing his hooves together and begging for forgiveness. “A-Ahm sorry...” Was all he could say before getting cut off by a hoof to his lips.

“Hey, it’s okay, it wasn’t your fault. Right now we need to concentrate on finding a way out of here. Phantom set off a gas leak and we have ten minutes to get out.” Both the stallion and mare nodded as the three rushed downstairs to the kitchen, only to find Applejack, Applebloom, and Scootaloo standing there, watching the sand in the hourglass on the door drop.

“What are you three doing?!” Rainbow screamed.

“The door will only take one. And once that pony’s through... it’ll magically lock...” AJ explained, handing Rainbow the note.

Five minutes remaining. “Then who should go through?” The school teacher asked, looking down at the hourglass.

“I vote Big Mac,” Rainbow raised her hoof.

“Eenope.”

“Oh come on, you’re a strong stallion.”

“Ah’d have nothin’ ta live for,” he said holding Cheerilee close. “Specially if livin’, means leavin’ my special somepony to die.”

Rainbow looked at the her marefriend,“If Applejack’s staying, then I’m staying too,” she said wrapping her hooves around Applejack.

“Applejack?” Apple Bloom asked, but the orange mare shook her head.

“We all knew this was comin,” she replied with tears flowing down her freckled cheeks. “Ah’d rather go through torture than see ma family die.”

The teen filly turned to Cheerilee next. “Miss Cheerilee, what about you?” she asked.

“Sorry Apple Bloom, but if Big Mac or any of you girls die, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.” The schoolteacher snuggled closer to Big Mac. If she was going to die, she’d die with the stallion she has come to love.

“Then, what about you Apple Bloom?” Rainbow turned to the yellow filly who just stood there.

“A-Ah don’t want to leave no pony.”

Another slow pause, three and a half minutes remaining. “I... I think it's gotta be you, Scoots...” Rainbow said dejectedly. “I don't want it to be this way, but I don't think he has anything against you. I know you always tried to consider him a friend, and you have whole life ahead of you.” She couldn't hold her tears back. “Like Applejack said this is our fault. We betrayed him.”

“S-She’s right...” Applejack agreed, “Scootaloo yer the only one that hasn’t done anything bad to Spike... She’s the only one that has a chance,” They were all crying at this point. “Just don’t forget about us, ya hear?”

“You and Sweetie Belle are the bestest friends ah could have asked fer.” Apple Bloom said, hugging Scootaloo. “Ah’m glad we lived to get our cutie marks together.”

“You be a good filly now, it’s been a joy being your teacher,” Cheerilee smiled.

“Eeyup,” Big Mac spoke.

“Remember to be an awesome stunt filly,” Dash said placing a hoof on the filly shoulders.

Scootaloo sniffed, “I-I‘ll never forget you, any of you.” With that, she stepped through the door with only few seconds to spare, leaving them through the twisting passage that lead to the surface, spending the time remembering all the good times they had together. All the memories she had with Applebloom and Sweetie flooded her mind. She remembered when she met the yellow filly, the time they spent trying to find their special talents, how they won the talent show for best comedy, when they made Big Mac and Cheerilee fall in love. The best memory was how they all finally got their cutie marks after helping Diamond Tiara make friends.

But all that came to an end when the orange pegasus rose from the cellar, right as the house exploded. The sight sent Scootaloo to the ground, crying for the loss of some of the greatest ponies she’s ever met. The loss of one of her best friends, her teacher, and most of all, an older sister.
