Rarity got out of bed and quickly wrote a note to her husband. She set the note next to Braeburn and quickly walked out. She was meeting Pinkamena in the streets of Nedra. Rarity ran into the tunnel and climbed up the hole. Pinkamena was nowhere to be found. She must already be there. Rarity put on a cloak and started to walk to Nedra. Owls hooted and shadows lurked in the dark forest. When Rarity got to Nedra, she saw another cloaked pony.
“Pinkamena?” Rarity stepped towards the cloaked pony. The pony took off her cloak. It was Pinkamena. Pinkamena turned towards rarity. Her irises were small, and she had a devilish grin. She was holding a butcher knife.
“Pinkie...?” Rarity stepped back. Pinkamena jumped at Rarity. Rarity screamed.
--------------------------------
Pumpkin snook out of her tent she shared with her twin and Pinkie, to a tent close by. She walked in.
“Pipsqueak?” She asked. The tent was dark. There was a form in the bed. She walked over to it. It was Pipsqueak. He was fast asleep. Pumpkin kissed him on the cheek, then got into his bed and snuggled up with him. I don't care what Pinkie says. She is not my mother..Mother died. Pinkie is my sister. And she has changed. Pumpkin Cake fell into a troubled sleep. What if Pinkie never changes back?
--------------------------------
It was morning.
“Mornin’ sweet’heart,” Braeburn yawned, putting his hoof out to hug Rarity. But his hoof feel and hit the bed sheet. There was a crunch of paper. Braeburn lifted his hoof and read the note.
“No,” Braeburn got out of bed and ran out of the tent. He knows what Pinkamena can do. He saw her murder his and Rarity’s first daughter, Amore. But he didn’t tell Rarity. He looked around, and saw Trixie. He ran to her.
“Trixie, have you seen Rarity or Pinkamena?”
She put her hoof to her chin and stared off for a bit. “No, I don’t think I have.”
“Oh no. Gather some ponies and arm yourselves. I think I know where she is. It may be too late.” Trixie nodded, and gathered some passing ponies. They gathered some spears and swords. Braeburn lead the small squad to the tunnel.
When they got out, they saw hoof prints. They followed them, and it led them to the city of Nedra.
“Do you smell that? It smells like death.” Braeburn and the others followed the smell into a dark alley, where the stench was strongest. Braeburn signaled for light. Trixie lit her horn, as well as the only other unicorn in the group. They saw a body, slumped against the wall, back to them. They stepped closer to it. Braeburn saw who it was.
“No...not Rarity....No!” He ran towards the body.
Rarity’s beautiful ivory coat was now dark red from stained blood. Her mane was still there, stained with blood, but her tail was completely torn off. Hair scattered the ground around her. Her right foreleg was torn off and laid in front of her. There was a butcher knife embedded in her stomach. But the most horrifying thing was her horn. It had been broken off, and was buried in her body where her heart was. Rarity's eyes were open, filled with fear,but glassy. Tears filled Braeburns eyes. Trixie walked over to his side and put her hoof on his shoulder. He pushed her away.
“Should we take the body to Infinity?” Trixie asked. Braeburn nodded. The others picked up the body, and Trixie led Braeburn to the Spot. They went down and went through the tunnel to the clearing. A unicorn and two earth ponies rushed to Braeburn.
“Father? Wh-what happened?” One of his daughters asked. Her name was Joanna, an earth pony. She got her strength from her father, and looks from her mother.
Braeburn didn’t answer.
“You’re mother..was murdered.” Trixie answered for him. Joanna buried her face in her unicorn sister’s shoulder, and the other earth pony hugged them both. The group of ponies carrying Rarity’s body carried her into a tent. Two hours later, they came out with her on a bed. By then, most ponies were in the clearing, including both alicorns. The team of ponies made her beautiful again. They had washed her up, removed to blood from her coat and mane. They had conjured her up a new tail, and brushed both mane and tail. They removed the horn and knife, and sewed up her cuts. Then, with great difficulty, put her horn back. And they closed her eyes. It looked like she was sleeping. Braeburn and his three daughters sat together. Sweetie Belle pushed through the crowd and saw.
“Sis!” Sweetie Belle rushed towards her dead sister, crying like a filly. Luna and Celestia walked over to the body as well. Their horns glowed, and cast a blessing over Rarity’s body. Red rose petals appeared and floated down onto the body and bed. Sweetie Belle was pulled away, still crying, by her friends. AppleJack took off her hat and put it to her chest. Anyone else who was wearing a hat or helmet, lowered theirs as well. The remaining Elements gathered together, except for Pinkamena.
“We have lost another Element today. Whoever murdered Rarity, we will hunt them down, and kill them!” Luna shouted.
“Ah know who did it.” Braeburn raised his head. “It was Pinkie!” He glared at her. Gasps and murmurs filled the room. “In Rarity’s note, she said she had some business to do with Pinkamena! It was Pinkie! Ah saw her murder mah first born daughter with mah own eyes! She killed Amore and Rarity! She probably killed a great number of innocent ponies!”
Pinkamena looked shocked. But then she grabbed her sword and lunged at Braeburn. AppleJack and Rainbow Dash lunged in front of her and held her back. Yells and screams filled the crowd.
“That’s right! I killed them! I also killed Dinky, Diamond Tiara, Carrot Top, Cherry Jubilee, Fleetfoot, Big Mac, Caramel, Cheerilee, Granny Smith, Mayor Mare, Ace, Aloe, Lotus, and many others! I work for Twilight Sparkle!” The yells and shouts of mournful ponies wanting to get revenge on their lost loved ones quickly quieted down after that sentence.
Luna walked towards Pinkamena. She looked extremely menacing. Pinkie stood her ground as much as she could with AJ and RD holding her down.
“We are not going to kill you. We are going to erase your memory of all information.” Luna’s horn glowed, and Pinkamena fell asleep. “Take her away. And don’t kill her." The Remaining Elements carried Pinkamena Diane Pie out to The edge of Nedra. After they left, the crowd went nuts. Luna was flooded with questions why they didn’t kill her, and Discord and Celestia did the best they could to hold them back. Luna walked into her tent, and soon the crowd went on mourning the loss of Generosity, and the rest of their loved ones. Sweetie Belle still bawled her eyes out, and Braeburn silently cried, dignified tears streaming down his cheeks. His daughters did the same. The remaining Apple Family gathered around them. Sweetie Belle was one of the only remaining of her family.
Celestia walked towards Rarity. Tears streamed down her cheeks as well.
“You were a wonderful pony. Generous, beautiful, loving,” Celestia remembered all of Twilights letters that included Rarity, and she mustered a small, sad smile. “You will be missed greatly, and dearly. But you are with your parents, and Amore now. You are safe now. Rest In Peace, Rarity, Element of Generosity.” Celestia conjured a white rose and laid it between Rarity’s hooves, making it look like Rarity was holding it. “Rest In Peace.” Celestia walked away to Luna’s tent sadly.
