Five months have passed since Spike’s death. Rarity had continued to improve her magic, wanting to be ready for any obstacles ahead. Every night she went to Spike’s grave. She would just sit next to it and cry, she couldn’t help it, her feelings for him never left.
Why did you have to leave us so early Spike? We had only been together for almost one year. We were inseparable. We did everything together, we went everywhere together and we enjoyed it all. I wish I could have stopped them Spike, but I could never take out all the dragons. Oh Spike… I just can’t let it go, I want so badly to just join you, but I couldn’t… not until justice is served!
Rarity finished up and went back inside the Carousel Boutique. She decided to finally clean up Spike’s night table, unable to previously, due to the loss. As she opened the first drawer, she noticed a note.
“To my beautiful Rarity, in case I don’t make it back, I left you this note, letting you know I got you a little something. I was going to save it for a special day, but unfortunately, I might not have much time left. If you’re reading this note, look under the bed for a box with your name on it.”
Rarity, excited looked under the bed. She found the box and opened it. What she saw, caused her to be speechless. It was… beautiful! The most beautiful thing she’s ever seen. She gently lifted it out and placed it around her neck. It was a golden necklace, with a three carat diamond in the middle, surrounded by fire rubies. She looked at it in amazement. It was so beautiful, too perfect to be true. She stared at it and tears were flowing down her cheeks, it was perfect. She looked in the box and saw another note.
“I was going to save this for the day I was going to propose to you. Unfortunately that may not happen. I wish you the best of luck. Love… Spike.”
“Yes, I accept.” She whispered.
That night, Rarity went to bed, with the necklace on, she would never take it off.
*The next morning*
Rarity woke up to the sun coming through the curtains. Thinking of Spike, she went and got the fire ruby necklace, he gave her on the week before his birthday. She place that around her neck as well, making it just perfect. All that was missing now, was Spike…
Coming back to reality, Rarity felt ready to get her justice. Tonight she would go to Canterlot and do what needed to be done.
*That night*
Rarity teleported in short distances until she reached Canterlot, not wanting to exhaust her magic more than she needed to. She reached the guards and explained to them she needed to see the princess, it was an emergency. They let her in. As she walked in, she was greeted by Blueblood.
*Five months ago*
Now that Spike is dead, I’m sure she’s going to do her best to find the culprit. I must not let that happen… I need to make sure of that. I’ll have to come here every night, and wait for her arrival, stopping her before she finds the truth. Blueblood smirked.
*Back to the present day*
“Hello Rarity, what brings you here tonight?”
“Oh hello… Blueblood. I’m here to report to Princess Celestia who was behind all this. Why are you here?”
“I’m here to help auntie in her time of need. Anyway if you’re looking for her, she’s in the throne room.”
“Thanks Blueblood.”
As Rarity continued, she felt her legs give up. She was hit with a lead pipe, knocking her out. Blueblood dragged her into a private room. Rarity slowly gained conscience, she noticed she was tied up, and a ring was placed on her horn, preventing her from using magic.
“Ow, what is the meaning of this?”
“Ah, you’re finally awake.”
“What the?! Blueblood, explain yourself!”
“Okay, well I was the one behind it all, enough explanation for you?”
“But the mane sample was off white... like Trixie’s mane colour.”
“I put that there, I had to frame someone, and I didn’t want them to think it was me. And who better than Trixie, everypony hates her already, so they would have believed it. Now that you know that it was me though…”
Celestia was walking back from the throne room, hearing the conversation, she made her way there.
“I must finish you off Rarity. It’s the only way.”
“I always knew you were scum Blueblood, but I never thought you were this twisted. You didn’t even help during the war, you coward! You’re not even fighting fairly now! Why don’t you untie me, so we can settle this, unicorn to unicorn!?”
“I don’t want to…” Prince Blueblood cast a spell, instantly killing Rarity.
“… give you the chance to turn the odds.” He said, giving an evil chuckle.
All of a sudden, Prince Blueblood was hit by a muscle paralyzing spell, causing him to fall to the floor. The figure that hit him spoke.
“It was you this whole time nephew!? How could you do this to your kingdom?” Before he could regain control, Celestia put a permanent magic immobilizing ring on his horn. She couldn’t hold it back anymore, not after what he caused.
“Well you won’t be needing your magic after what you caused, you pile of filth!”
Prince Blueblood regained the ability to speak.
“You can’t put this ring on! It’s illegal I’ll report you to…”
“Who are you going to report me to? Luna!? Well I’ve got two points to point out. First, Luna was in agreement that I do this, and second, I am the law, so go ahead complain, I make the final decision. Make my day!”
“Oh shit!” Prince Blueblood knew he was in trouble and he wouldn’t get out of this one.
“So nephew, what in that idiotic mind of yours made you want to do this?”
“How could you do this to the family auntie?” Blueblood said, disgust towards Celestia.
“Do what Blueblood?”
“Ruin the royal line by making that… filth of a unicorn, into an alicorn and a princess? What were you thinking? Luna should have been next, then me. I caused this war, hoping it would kill the three of you, and I would be the next to rule. And I should have been the next to become an alicorn. I am much more deserving than her. I have royalty in my bloodline, I am perfect and loved by everypony…”
“I’ve got some news for you… I can’t even call you nephew anymore you sicken me so much. Anyway, nopony loves you, that’s why I would never choose you. I don’t want this kingdom to fall apart; and now I see I made the right decision.”
“What happened to you auntie? Don’t you love me anymore?” Blueblood’s fear was rising, he’s never seen Princess Celestia act like that before.
“I used to, until you caused all of this. This is the worst war I’ve been in so far. It could have been prevented. All those casualties could have been prevented, as for the death of Spike and Twilight. All because of you…” Princess Celestia walked up to him.
“But enough of this silliness, what to do with you…” Princess Celestia had a great idea.
“I’m not going to do anything myself.”
“Oh thank you auntie.”
“Oh don’t thank me yet. Instead, I’ll bring you to the dragons, ending our conflict. Besides I’m sure they’ll have the perfect idea on how to make you pay.”
“NO… no… nonono anything but that auntie, you know what they’ll do to me?”
“I do, and I look forward to it!” Celestia used a binding spell on him, making him unable to move.
She carried him to the dragon’s land entrance in the forest. The dragons spotted her right away and landed next to her.
“Well Celestia, what brings you here today?” The dragons were ready to attack her in case she tried something suspicious.
“I have your egg thief right here.” She said, presenting Blueblood.
“Ah, we thank you for that. As we promised, we’ll leave you ponies alone, unless someone else decides to do it of course.”
“I have one simple question.”
“What is it?”
“May I watch you dispose of this… trash? I promise I won’t interfere, I just want to see justice being served.”
“You may, but you must leave right after and no using magic.”
“Agreed, oh and one more thing. I immobilized his capability of using magic, so have fun!”
“Oh we shall.” The dragon said, giving an evil grin.
They all walked to the homes of the dragons, dragging Blueblood against the ground, causing him to get several cuts from the sharp rocks. When they arrived, they threw Blueblood on the floor, causing him to land on his chest, giving him trouble breathing from the impact. He was scared for his life. He couldn’t get away no matter how hard he tried. Then he heard the dragon king speak.
“Alright boys, tie him up to the trees.”
“Yes your majesty.” They tied all his hooves to the trees, causing him to be held horizontally.
“Well it seems like we’ll finally have our justice tonight boys. What should we do to him?”
“I have the perfect idea, if I may your majesty.”
“You may.”
“Excellent.” The dragon walked up to Blueblood. The unicorn had a look of pure horror on his face. The dragon unleashed his claws and made long lined cuts down the unicorn’s chest, causing a great deal of pain. Blueblood was screaming at the top of his lungs from the pain. Next the dragon started to use his claws to peel the skin of his chest, exposing his flesh. Blueblood continued to yell from the excruciating pain. Celestia was happy watching this. Her mind was filled with revenge. It was blocking all other emotions and thoughts. All that mattered, was that he would pay for what he did. The only thing bothering her were the screams, she couldn’t take it. She came up with a plan.
“If I may your majesty, I have a spell that would make it easier for your assistant here.” Celestia suggested.
“It better not be a trick.” The dragon king said, giving her a suspicious look.
“It isn’t just watch.” Celestia placed a spell causing Blueblood to lose the ability to speak or make a noise.
“Nice touch Celestia. You’re not too bad… for a pony.”
“Thanks.”
“On with the torturing.” The dragon king cheered.
“With pleasure.” The dragon said, giving off a smile.
The dragon continued, by castrating Blueblood. The pain was unbearable for Blueblood, all that was on his mind was hoping they would finish him off, and soon.
“You know your majesty, I think he’s almost done his suffering. I suggest we leave him to die here, from a slow painful way. By letting him die from blood loss.”
“I like that idea. Let’s do it.”
“As you wish.” The dragon made long slits down each leg.
“I think it’s time we let him marinade in his own blood.”
“Yes. I think he’s suffered enough at the moment.” The dragon king and Celestia walked up to Blueblood.
“Blueblood, you had this coming, now you’ll suffer, just like I did, just like a lot ponies did…”
“I bet you’d like us to end your suffering and end your life now.” Blueblood nodded.
“Well we can’t let you off that easily. We’ll be back, to make sure you suffer, don’t worry about that.”
Celestia and the dragons made their way back to the forest. Blueblood wanted to scream for help, he wanted his suffering to end. Yet there was nopony around to help him, and he couldn’t scream for help. It was over, all he could do was pray and wait for his imminent death.
The dragons and Celestia made their way to the entrance.
“Thank you for bringing the traitor to us. He deserved what he received. We lost many dragons due to him. Hopefully this will be the end to this.”
“I will make sure of it. Anypony who gets caught trying, will suffer by being handed off to you.”
“That sounds good to me. Well hopefully we won’t have that happen again. Have fun back at home.”
“Same to you.” Celestia left, with a satisfied feeling knowing the unicorn got what he deserved. The next day, Princess Celestia placed guards at the forest, making sure the place was guarded from egg thieves. She also placed a new law; “All ponies who are caught attempting/stealing dragon eggs, will be brought and handed to the dragons as punishment. No second chances.”.
THE END
