Darkness in our hearts
By: flat spin
Celestia walked in to the grand hall of canterlot castle and saw Flash looking at Thunderlane’s dead body and Soarin hugging Rainbow Dash while bleeding from his fore head.
“What happened here. I thought my orders of killing all of them were clear.” Celestia said angrily while looking at Rainbow Dash.
“She surrendered.” Soarin defended his love.
“Well I guess we shouldn’t kill an element of harmony… after all we might need you still. Where is Twilight?” Celestia asked.
“She ran into the library with Applejack.” Flash said and the four of them walked towards the library. The fighting outside had died down. Celestia was standing right next to them so that had to mean that the royal army had somehow defeated the lunar army.
As the four of them walked into the library they could see that Applejack was picking pieces of glass out of Twilight’s body and Spin was crying on the floor while Pinkie was hugging him.
“Princess twilight mind telling me why he is still alive!” Celestia said angrily.
“Princess Celestia. Did we win the fight?” Twilight asked and tried to stear the conversation away from Spin who was defenceless.
“Yes and I killed Nightmare Moon. But that doesn’t answer my question.” Celestia said coldly.
“He surrendered after a magical aura left his body.” Twilight said as a couple of guards ran into the room.
“Fine. But he still has to face justice for what he has done. Guards arrest him!” Celestia said and the guards separated Pinkie and Spin. Both of them had tears in their eyes but the guard dragged Spin away.
“Please let him go! You let Rainbow Dash go free why can’t you let him go free too.” Pinkie begged Celestia but she simply said.
“He was the captain in the enemy’s army we have to punish him! Rainbow Dash is an element of harmony. I will need her later.” Celestia said and left the room. She didn’t seem like she used to be. She was cold.
Spin was laying in a small cold cell as the moon rose high. He knew what was about to happen tomorrow and he wasn’t scared of it but he didn’t want to leave Pinkie again…
“Spin… Spin…” A whisper came from the other side of the jail door.
“Pinkie.” Spin said and ran up to the door. “I’m so sorry about everything… I’m sorry Pinkie.” He said as tears started to flow down his cheeks.
“Spin you know what will happen tomorrow?” Pinkie asked.
“Yeah… please don’t come to see it.” Spin said
“I want to see you before you have to leave me again… even if I have to see you dead. I love you and I will always love you.”
“I do too love you and I will love you even if we will never see each other again.” Spin said and whipped off his tears. “Go now before the guard catch you.” He said and heard how Pinkie sprinted away.
Finally Rainbow Dash was at peace. She could feel the warm body next to hers. She could feel the love between them. She could finally wake up to see Soarin’s loving eyes and his smile. Why did she ever want to leave this behind her? Why did she do the things she did?
“Hey Dashie we should get up and go.” Soarin said as the sun came into the room. “I wanna see Spin before the end.”
“Okay… I love you Soarin and I want you to know that I’m sorry.” Rainbow Dash said and hugged him.
“I know… and I love you too.” Soarin said and kissed her fore head.
Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Flash Sentry and Soarin were all stading in the court yard of the Canterlot castle in a huge crowd of ponies looking at a small wooden stage. On the stage was Celestia and a couple of guards. One of the guard had a huge axe with him and a black hood on. Then he doors of the Castle opened up and two guard walked out with Spin who had changed his outfit from the dark combat armour to the ceremonial armour that Night Comet had given to him. It was just as dark and scary looking. He walked up to the stage and looked at the crowd which yelled at him loudly.
“Today we are gathered here to judge Captain Spin of the Lunar army for his war crimes!” Celestia announced from the stage.
“Off with his head!” Ponies from the crowd yelled.
“I have looked at the evidence and decided that Captain Spin is guilty of crimes against citizens of Equestria and several war crimes.” Celestia said loudly. Pinkie was looking straight to Spin’s eyes and he was looking at hers. Nether of them were afraid of what was about to happen… They were happy that they had spent at least some time together before the end. “And penalty for your crimes is death.” Celestia said and the crowd cheered… well except Twilight and her friends and Soarin who was looking depressed and Flash was scared for Spin. “What do you have to say for yourself captain Spin?” Celestia asked him.
“I love you Pinkie and I will always love you.” He said quietly so only the ponies near the stage like Flash, Soarin, Twilight and her friends and Pinkie could hear it. Then the guards lowered Spin’s head against the headstone and. the judgement of the huge axe came down on his neck… The crowd was quiet… Spin’s headless body fell down to the floor of the stage from the headstone…
“From the moon.” Soarin quietly said looking at his brother’s headless body.
“To the moon.” Flash said and finished the sentence.
The crowd cheered and celebrated while Pinkie was looking at the ground holding tears back.
“Now since the Lunar army escaped and we believe that there is still some ponies who are loyal to Nightmare Moon marshall law will be put on and we will arrest every pony who is suspected of being a supporter of the lunar regime.” Celestia announced. the crowd chanted for celestia and for the victory against the Lunar forces not knowing what was Celestia grand plan…
The following days as the mane six and Soarin and Flash returned to ponyville thousands of ponies were arrested for being a lunar supporter. Even some of their old friend were arrested and sent away to somewhere. No one knew where ponies were sent after they were arrested but rumours weren’t good… some say they were sent to a factory where the colour from their bodies were sucked away to make rainbows… and some say they were sent to work in a mine near the crystal empire… Only thing everypony knew was that Celestia’s forces weren’t arresting ponies who supported Luna or Nightmare moon. They were arresting ponies who Celestia saw as her enemies… this wasn’t the Equestria the mane six used to live… this was a country that was being controlled by one power hungry maniac who used the war as an excuse to make herself a true dictator who ruled with fear like her sister Nightmare Moon.
“Girls… Soarin… Flash… we need to do something this is not the country where I used to live. We live in fear everyday… Celestia arrests every pony who she wants to arrest.” Twilight said and looked at her friend who were sitting around the cutie mark map.
“Yeah but what can we do? Celestia has her army and the Crystal empire is now a puppet government of hers too. We can’t do anything.” Applejack said.
“I don’t know what can we do but I will not be a part of Celestia’s reign of terror!” Twilight said.
“Me neither I’m done with her.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Yeah she is a dictator now days.” Applejack said and Pinkie pie, Fluttershy and Rarity nodded inagreement.
“What about you boys? You with us?” Twilight asked Flash and Soarin.
“You lead we follow. isn’t that your duty.” Soarin said and smiled.
“Great… now we have to figure out how to end Celetia’s rule.” Twilight said and then the Cutie mark map turned on and showed all six curie marks floating over the crystal empire. “And it looks like we will free the crystal empire first!” Twilight said in excitement.
