Masked Beauty

(10) Trapped

My head throbbed with pain. I slowly opened my eyes. I found myself in a type of chrysalis. I had no idea where I was. I couldn't move around a whole lot. I noticed Twilight and Radioflash was a few feet away from me, motionless. Twilight looked pail and weak.
There was some sort of Green substance on their hooves.
I heard footsteps. I quickly acted like I was still passed out.
A pony with cheese like legs along with a bug like body walked up to Radioflash. He looked at her, glaring.
"Give up?" the pony asked.
"Never!" he yelled. "I will not be a part of this plan any longer! I don't want to hurt her! Torture me all you want!"
The pony shot a beam into his gem. He grunted in pain. "I don't care what you do to me." he muttered.
"You betrayed the hive!" the pony yelled. "We raised you, and you turned your back on us!"
"Mother, I love her!"
I let out a soft gasp, hoping they didn't hear me.
"I love her mother. She has been my friend since I was a foal. She was the only pony who wanted to be my friend."
"You are a fool!" the pony yelled.
"What don't you understand, mother? She is the only pony who cares for me!"
Thoughts made me doubt myself, not sure what to believe anymore.
Does he really love me...?
"I don't want her to be a part of this any more! I won't use her anymore."
I couldn't hold back any longer. I faced Radioflash, asking him the truth. I had to know the truth.
"Is that how you really feel about me, RaFlash?" I asked. "Do you really love me?"
Radioflash turned to face me. "Of course," he said. "I regret using you, hurting you and everything else I did that was a part of this plot! I love you, Script, and I mean it. I didn't want you to get hurt..."
Tears streamed down my face. "I love you too." I uttered. I put my hoof on the wall of the chrysalis. "You would really do all that for me?"
He smiled at me but then was suddenly pulled away from the floor.
"You are a fool! It's time to see what happens to those who betray the hive!" the pony yelled. "But you deserve something extra."
The pony dropped him on the ground. Radioflash stared at her. She shot an endless beam to his gem. He cried out in pain.
"Radioflash!" I yelled. I tried to break out of my prison to help him. Tears streamed down my face as I heard him cry out in agony.
"Please, don't!" I banged on the walls of my prison.
I watched with horror as the pony drained his life out of him.
"You won't get away with this, Chrysalis..." Twilight mumbled.
Chrysalis stopped, turning to Twilight. She looked even more weak, and drained.
"I already have." Chrysalis said.
Radioflash turned to my prison. He looked completely helpless. I saw the gem glow dimly. My chrysalis opened slightly, enough for me to bang on it to get out.
I rushed to his side. I stared at his eyes.
"Go..." he muttered. "I already sent a message for help... go..."
"I'm not leaving you." I cried. I held him close to myself and hugged him. "You'll be okay, you have too."
Chrysalis turned, finding me with Radioflash. Her face grew a frown. She tried to shoot a beam at me, but something blocked it.
Chrysalis glared at me even more. She turned to Twilight, horn ready to blast. Twilight couldn't move.
Chrysalis fired her horn. I ran, bursting in between the two. I could hear Twilight scream out.
A bright light came into my vision. My ears rung.
