//------------------------------// // Revenge // Story: Rocket To Insanity : Twilight’s Revenge // by BenPictures1 //------------------------------// Twilight walked down the stairs, Spike was sitting on the couch, reading. “Hey Spike, I have to run a few errands, I’ll be back soon.” She hugged him, “You’re the best assistant I could ever have.” Spike looked confused “Uh…okay? Thanks..I guess..” before he could say anything else, Twilight walked out the front door. He shrugged and went back to reading. “Just Twilight being Twilight.” He thought to himself, he realized that Twilight had acted like her old self again, and smiled. _________________________________________ Twilight walked to the train station, she felt guilty about lying to Spike, but that didn’t matter now, all that mattered was putting an end to this madness once and for all.  Arriving at the station, she paid the ticket taker and waited for the train to arrive. A few minutes later she was getting on board, the train was mostly empty. As they pulled away from the station she looked out the window. This would probably be her last time seeing Ponyville, she knew she had little to no chance but didn’t care. “Thanks…for everything.”, she said quietly, remembering all the fond memories she had. “What brings you here so late?” The passenger sitting across from her asked. Twilight looked at the pony, she was a white pegasus with a red mane and tail, and had blue, purple, and red markings on her wings. “I have a meeting in Canterlot.” “Hey, you’re Twilight Sparkle, aren’t you?” the pegasus asked. “Yes, that’s me.” “I have a friend that’s a huge fan of you.” “That’s nice to hear.” Twilight smiled. ____________________________________ Celestia was finished with all her meetings for the day and was about to head to her chambers, when Luna approached her. “Hello sister.” “It is time we talked.” Luna said angrily. “Talk about what exactly?” Celestia asked. “About Rainbow Dash, you told me she tried to attack you, that is not what Twilight told me.” “Well, she is right.” Luna was shocked “You executed a defenseless pegasus? Who was incapable of harming anypony?” “Luna, you must understand, she had killed five ponies-“ “She deserved a fair trial! We are not the judge, jury, or executioner! You are also supposed to consult with me before taking such a drastic action.” “What will you do about it?” Celestia sneered. “I am asking you to step down.” Luna said sternly. “You are obviously incapable of ruling.” “You know I won’t do that.” “I am asking you again, step down, or I will make you step down.” Both Celestia and Luna knew this wouldn’t end well. “No.” “Very well then, Princess Celestia, you are under arrest.” Celestia fired at Luna hitting her in the chest, knocking her back. Celestia walked up to Luna, “We can talk this out.” Luna punched her in the jaw, causing Celestia to stumble back. Luna spun around and kicked her with her hind legs.  Celestia retaliated by pinning Luna onto the floor, Luna blasted her in the chest, knocking the white alicorn off of her. Luna ripped the curtains off of the wall using her magic and wrapped them around Celestia’s neck, choking her. Celestia blasted a hole in them and charged at Luna, only to be knocked back by Luna projecting a shield, she fell to the ground. Luna walked up to her. “I am sorry sister, but this can end no other way.” As she prepared to call in the royal guards, Celestia stabbed her. __________________________________ Twilight felt a chill down her spine as she entered the castle courtyard, could she really kill her former mentor? Should she turn back and go home? No, she made it this far, there was no turning back now. She thought of Rainbow Dash, her closest friend, how she was executed in cold blood. She thought of Rarity and Fluttershy, how they both made the ultimate sacrifice, which ended up being in vain, she thought of Pinkie and Applejack, how confused and frightened they both were in their last moments. Finally, she thought of herself, how she lost those she cared the most about. “This is for you, this is for all of you.” As she walked through the hallways, she ran into Cadence. “Twilight? Why are you here?” The pink alicorn asked. Twilight looked at her. “I’m here to kill Celestia.” Cadence gasped “Why would you do such a thing?” Twilight told her about the events of the past few weeks, Cadence became more and more shocked. “I understand, but I can’t let you do this.” Twilight growled “Please don’t make me hurt you.” Before either of them could do anything else, There was a large blast from the throne room. Both ponies were knocked off their hooves. Twilight helped Cadence up. “Please, just let me do this. If she’s willing to kill Rainbow Dash, who had helped save Equestria several times, what makes you think she won't kill again?” Cadence relented “Is there anything I can do to help?” She asked sympathetically. “Just…go.” Twilight said sadly, “You have a loving husband, a long life left to live…..I have nothing.” She ran towards the throne room. __________________________________ Luna gasped, she fell to the ground in shock. After catching her breath, she began crawling, trying to get away from her sister. Celestia walked over her, and prepared to finish her off. Celestia felt something hit her in the back of the head , she turned around to see Twilight. “CELESTIA!!” Twilight screamed in rage, she ran towards Celestia, firing at her. Celestia kept attempting to blast her, only for the lavender unicorn to keep dodging. She punched Celestia in the face, knocking her to the floor. Twilight was relentless in her attacks, she kept kicking and punching Celestia, she wanted her dead, she saw that her hooves were bleeding, but simply didn’t care, the only thing that mattered now was getting her revenge. “ENOUGH!!” Celestia yelled as her eyes turned white. Twilight was sent flying back, a few seconds later Twilight stood back up and rubbed her head, she saw Luna lying on the ground, unsure if she was dead or unconscious.  “Stand down, this is your last warning” Celestia said firmly. Stomping her hoof on the floor. Twilight looked at Celestia, eyes burning with rage, “Never.” She charged at Celestia. “You leave me no choice, then.” said Celestia, aiming her horn at Twilight, she fired a beam of magic at the unicorn. The beam hit Twilight, knocking her back against the wall. Celestia realizing what she had done cried out in horror. She ran over to Twilight, but it was too late. As Twilight lay dying, she thought back to when she got her cutie mark, how Celestia offered to be her mentor, how excited she was back then. “Thank…you…” she said weakly as she closed her eyes, succumbing to her injuries. She smiled knowing she would be with her friends soon. Twilight Sparkle was dead, and with her death the Element Bearers were no more. Celestia cradled the lavender unicorn’s lifeless form, tears running down her face.
