//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 Poison // Story: Start of the brood // by king fireball //------------------------------// A tired but manageable Spitfire was able to come here on time despite her lack of sleep from the party last night. Still, she was eager to get to work no matter what until Lightning Dust came in with a tall glass of water with a green bubble that was plain enough to see which made Spitfire have a bit of suspicion. "What's this green bubble in this glass?" asked Spitfire. "Just a little extra to show you what a good leader you are." said Dust with a fake smile that spread across her face. Spitfire stared at Dust for a few moments but shrugged it off then took a sip of her strange looking water. She made a disgusting face as if she tasted bad sushi that Soarin gave her a few months back. Lightning Dust had a syringe behind her back with her own version of a poison if this one Starshine gave her didn't work on Spitfire. But it seemed the poison was working because Spitfire coughed constantly and even landed on the ground, gasping for air. Reaching for Lightning Dust's hand she only slapped it away and poisoned her again but this time with a syringe which made the poison travel faster down her bloodstream causing Spitfire's blood to move faster and her heart to work to pump more blood faster. "Such a shame that you could've been better Miss Spitfire but I guess not." said Starshine who walked in and kissed Dust on the lips softly. "Who...are... *cough* you?" asked Spitfire who was clinging to life but dying fast. "My name is Starshine and your little Lightning Dust has just injected enough poison to drop a rhino so you'll die very soon." said Starshine. Spitfire's heart quickened so much that it bleeded internally which caused her heart to shut down and finally die. Her body only saw a glimpse of what happened. All those years of being a friend to Rainbow Dash and Lighting Dust has changed, this was the end of the wonderbolt commander Spitfire. "It's such a shame she had to go...we didn't have a chance to take a picture of her dying." said Lighting Dust. "No worries I got that covered" said Starshine who pulled out a camera and took a picture of them with Spitfire's dead body. "So this Brood thing you talked to me earlier about, what do they exactly do?" asked Lightning Dust. "Basically we kill anyone that gets in our way" said Starshine. "Sounds fun" said Dust who wrapped her arm around his arm. They both left the building leaving Spitfire's body to rot in there and into Starshine's car where he started the engine and revved up the engine, they left that same day. The regret Lightning Dust was waiting for never came cause all her life working with Spitfire was a pain in the ass so seeing her die was a blessing to her along with Starshine. "So where are we going now?" asked Dust. "Well my dear we are going to the city of Manhattan where our newest member will join us, a very peculiar one I spotted some time ago before finding you my dear." said Starshine with a smile across his face. "Who would that be?" asked Lightning Dust who was eager to know the answer. "Sweetie Belle...she's with Rarity and her friends, we're going to try to lure her out and come with us...no matter the cost." said Starshine. "What if Twilight and her friends try to stop us? Do we just take Sweetie Belle and run or kill them then take Sweetie Belle?" asked Lightning Dust. "They will die along with Sweetie's sister Rarity who used to be my friend until she betrayed me." said Starshine. The mere cold words hit Dust but she didn't care as long as she went to Manhattan to retrieve Sweetie Belle to begin this "Brood" Starshine talks about. Manhattan wasn't far now at least...this would be the start of something bad and it will bring end times for the Equestrian Girls and Rarity's lovable sister Sweetie Belle who was in Manhattan with her to help with a very important order to be placed soon.
