//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 Learned Behavior // Story: Broken Life Twilight's Fallen Angel // by Nightmarity19 //------------------------------// A storm was coming in the north as Dash and Rarity walked into the Everfree Forest in a desperate search for their friend who went messing for more than 24 hours that started a search party. "I hope it doesn't rain you know my mane will be ruined by it," Rarity said. "To be honest I could care bucking less about what rain does to your mane because I want to find Twilight," Dash said annoyed. Rarity wanted to say something else but didn't want to piss off Rainbow even more. "Look I think it's best we rest up because if we go any further I'll say something that I will regret later," Dash suggested. "Good idea," Rarity agreed. The two of them went into a hut that had a sturdy enough roof to support heavy rain that came down hard. "Oh my it must be a bad storm," Rarity said. "Yea must be, I hope Twilight is ok wherever she is," Dash said wrapping herself in her wings. Rarity smiled and slept underneath one of Rainbow's wings and fell asleep through the lightning storm. High above a hill as the rain came down hard among Sunset and Twilight as one hooded figure stood in front of them. "For the next challenge your nerves need to be shot down meaning you will be broken beyond repair and no pony will help you, do you understand?" The hooded mare commanded. Twilight nodded. She walked over and kissed her engaging in a make out session, planting mind numbing thoughts into Twilight but that only made her kiss more tasty. This made Sunset happy seeing her lover not be broken by a spell exchanged by a kiss from one of these hooded mares. Breaking the kiss, Sunset started rubbing Twilight's flank and she gave a soft moan at the sudden touch. "Shimmer this girl is more capable to handle any challenge we throw her way," she said quite impressed with Twilight's performance. "Yes she is but now we must let her rest for our plan will be inactive until Twilight has full power, ready to kill anypony in her path" Sunset suggested. They disappeared into complete darkness as the sun started to rise illuminating everything in its path. Dash slowly opened her eyes to see Rarity snuggled in her arms. She wanted to move but decided to keep her there for a while. She must be worried about Twilight, all I know she's out there somewhere Dash thought. Sunset approached them taking off her hood and peering into the shed window without Dash's acknowledgement of the demoness staring outside. Rarity woke up slowly to see Dash staring back at her smiling. "What's with that smile?" Rarity asked. "I'm just glad you're awake now that the rain stopped," Dash replied. Sunset smirked deviously at them before activating her magic then chanted a spell in Latin. "That should keep them at bay," Sunset said disappearing. A sudden knock at the door startled Rarity so when Rainbow peered outside she saw a bunch of demon ponies waiting for those two to step out of their comfort zone and into the battlefield. "Looks like we have demon ponies outside so I say we take them out quickly," Dash suggested. "Alright let's do it," Rarity replied. Like a bolt of lightning Rainbow punched three demon ponies while Rarity blasted them to oblivion. "Ha! I can do this all day!" Dash shouted. And just like more demon ponies appeared but they were bigger and stronger with soul stealing powers. Me and my big mouth Dash thought. One attacked her and attempted to steal her soul but Rarity blasted him with magic ending his life. "Careful now darling," Rarity said helping Dash up to her feet. "Got it," Dash responded, knocking down a few more which in turn they all disappeared. "That must've been all of them but how did they get here in the first place?" Rarity asked confused. "Good question," Dash said. They decided to press on their search for Twilight. "Fools...very soon you'll see Twilight just in a different mindset than what you're used to," Sunset said shifting into a raven following them. Twilight was walking inside the church again where she was before but this time it was filled with other mares and stallions wearing black cloaks, hoods down awaiting words from their leader Twilight who walked up to the podium removing her hood looking down at her followers ready to receive a word from the alicorn princess. "My fellow ponies today marks the day Sunset brought into this place in exchange for a wonderful lust filled kiss she gave me a few time already and now here I stand before you redesigned in Shimmer's light," Twilight began to explain. Her followers clapped. "In a span of decades I have been blinded by following a fake prophet and now Sunset opened my eyes to have a brighter future," Twilight continued. Again she got an applause like how a preacher makes a testimony and her followers hung on to every word that came out of her mouth. "Now my ponies in due time our savior Sunset Shimmer will enact our plan to take over Equestria," Twilight promised. After saying that, her followers stood up and down bowing at Twilight's hooves. A punch forced Rarity to fall to one knee as Dash engaged in a death lock with Sunset and was losing. "You were the cause of Twilight's disappearance," Dash accused. Sunset smirked as she created a shockwave backing Rainbow up a few feet away. "Oh Dash I figured somepony like you would at least notice why you're friend was acting strange," Sunset said. A flashback of when Twilight had that little accident flashed in her mind, making the cyan blue pegasus' eyes widen. "You see, I will have Twilight be able to worship somepony who doesn't sit on her fat ass eating cake while Equestria is burning to ashes. I want her to have me along with others in my coven; somepony she'll remember forever," Sunset monologues about her plan. "But Twilight is OUR friend darling, so you can't just take her to do your dirty deeds; give her back to us and this won't get messy," Rarity threatened, wanting Twilight back home safe and sound. "Sorry but I cannot unless you have visiting hours," Sunset said with a smug look on her face. Two other hooded figures placed chloroform cloths over their mouths until they passed out. "Take them to the chambers and how Twilight meet them there since they want her," Sunset commanded. The stallions picked them up and carried them a room underneath the church and chained up the two mares to the brick wall by their front hooves. Dash stirred a bit before waking up to see Twilight with a black scar like tattoo, crystal blue eyes, horns coming out and bat like wings. "Twilight...what did they do to you?" Dash asked horrified. Her friend leaned in her ear and whispered the answer which made Rainbow's pupils go really small. "You kept me in the dark and now that Sunset has showed the errors of your mistake I can live in peace," Twilight said. "This is insane! Twilight please remember how things were before all of what has become of you!" Dash replied trying to jog her friend's memory. All she did was stare blankly before leaving without looking back. She's changed and not for the better Dash had a single tear fall from her face.
