October

In September.

She was standing in the center of the city. She-no Twilight Sparkle was standing in the middle of the city, preparing to cast a spell.

Then Twilight heard hooves pounding on the pavement, so she turned to face the running ponies.

Twilight saw five ponies, in the lead was a cyan pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail carrying a long sword. Rainbow Dash.

To the right were another pegasus and a unicorn, the pegasus butter yellow with a pink mane and tail. Fluttershy. The unicorn white with a purple mane and tail. Rarity.

To the left were two earth ponies, one orange with a blond mane and tail. Applejack. The other pink with a darker pink mane and tail. Pinkie Pie.

"We have to stop her!" Shouted Rarity.

"She's gonna kill us all!" Applejack shouted

"NO!" Yelled Twilight. "I AM GOING TO SAVE YOU, I'M GONNA SAVE YOU ALL!!! Ahaha AHaha AHaHahAHahaAHaHaHaHAHaAh"

Then Rainbow Dash lunged, bringing her sword down on Twilight's head. She felt it cleave into her, just below her horn, and trough her eye.

Twilight, without breaking the perpetration of her spell, cast a wave of force out to knock Rainbow back. She then quickly put up a shield to protect herself, and a rudimentary healing spell to keep from bleeding out. "You'er too late!" Twilight said with unmasked pain

And with a flash of light, it was done.


When Twilight's conciseness returned to her she was in the city square, the center of the city.

Around her, in the spots they were in when the spell was cast, were four ash and dust statues.

One with a stetson that some how escaped the spell, one miraculously suck in mid air. The last two holding each other and cowering.

Twilight looked upon the statues for awhile, just staring. She then walked up to each on of them and...

Scattered them to the winds. She then looked up at the sky, the twilight sky. "I'm the one who killed them all." Twilight said in a singsong fashion. "I survived after the fall."

It started as a smile, that smile became a giggle, the giggle a chuckle, the chuckle a laugh, and that laugh slowly became more and more manic until it was obvious she was no longer sane.

She never heard the slow clip-clopping of hooves approaching. The unsheathing of a blade.

She felt a pain sink into her back, that pain continued til it breached the front of her barrel. Twilight looked down at the red and silver object protruding from her. Then she felt it begin to slide back out, twisting back and forth as it did so.

It felt... exhilarating. Twilight couldn't help but let out a moan of pleasure as it twisted.

When the blade left her body she fell limp to her right side. From behind her walked a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane carrying a broken sword with her wings. "Look at whats become of us." Said Rainbow Dash her voice scratchy and heavily damaged by smoke. "You laughing about the death of everyone, and me, stabbing others in the back. Literally." She them sighed. "You know, I've always loved this time of day."

She then turned her face to Twilight, revealing the previously hidden left side of her face. Which was blackened and scared. her left eye nothing more than a white orb of scar tissue. Her cheek almost completely missing, showing the teeth underneath. "I used to say the same about you." She then turned fully to Twilight showing her scars run all the way down the left side of her body. Her left wing nothing more than bone, muscle, and chard skin.

"I would talk to Fluttershy all the time about you, and she would always talk to me about Rarity." She continued, tears staring to drip from her right eye, but not the left. Her damaged voice becoming even more horse. "I know you can heal that wound I gave you, so please, do so. I-I don't want t-to be a-alone" She begged. "P-please, I-I'll do anything just don't leave me alone again" She was full on sobbing now, the right side of her face soaked in tears while the left remained dry. Her one working eye closed while the muscles around the other twitched attempting to do the same.

Rainbow fell to her barrel and continued to beg. "D-don't leave m-me, my love."

It was a long and quiet silence before she got her response...
