	They are skilled assassins.
The door to Rainbow's room opened.
Trained to kill in various ways.
Rainbow looked up, only to have a bag thrown over her face. She struggled against her attackers, falling to the floor.
Everything from guns...
Matterhorn cocked his handgun and pointed it at Rainbow. "Stop moving, or I will shoot now."
...to snakes.
Rainbow stopped moving and fell silent as Zeinwolfe picked her up. Matterhorn dropped a card on the nightstand.
There is nothing these killers cannot do.
A guard looked at the pair as they trotted out of the room. "I'm your captain, and this here mare tried to attack me. I'm taking her into custody."
They were at nine...
Matterhorn grumbled under his breath as he lead Zeinwolfe down the hallway.
...but they slowly decreased to four.
"I knew this mare was trouble." Matterhorn grumbled under his breath.
They have tried to kill us.
"I bet she never killed a pony in her life." He growled. "Sad excuse of a pony."
They have the intent to purify Canterlot.
At this point, Matterhorn and Zeinwolfe were just entering the hideout. "Intruding on our purification process! The nerve of this pony!"
We cannot figure out what that means, exactly...
Rainbow was thrown down at the table, the bag removed from her head so that she could see The Completionist, who was across the table from them.
but I have a bad feeling we will find out soon.
"Rainbow Dash." The Completionist said in his raspy voice. "You've got a lot of explaining to do."


Intro


Spitfire punched the door in anger. She was gone. The Circle kidnapped Rainbow Dash, and now they had no way of finding her.
"We have to tell Celestia!" Twilight told them. "It's the only way."
"I will murder every single one of them." Spitfire growled.
Secret sighed. "Don't say that, Spitfire." He said aloud as he looked in her general direction. "We will kill them."
The other ponies silently agreed.

Rainbow narrowed her eyes. "What is this?"
"Don't give us that lie!" Matterhorn snapped. The Completionist raised his hoof and Matterhorn relaxed.
"We know what you did." The Completionist told her. :You killed other assassins."
"Killed? I only killed who I was supposed to kill." Rainbow spat. "That's my job."
"I don't recall telling you to kill Night, or Stryker, or Matterhorn!" He said. "But, I do recall ordering you to kill Secret." Rainbow froze. "What happened?"
There was no escape. Rainbow was cornered, metaphorically and literally. All she could do is hope her friends can find her in time.

"Kidnapped?" Celestia asked. "We must do something about it!"
"Princess, I'm afraid to tell you, but Matterhorn is one of them." Twilight said. "Be careful."
Celestia nodded. "You too." With that, she ordered her guards to search for them.

Rainbow was silent.
"Any last words?" The Completionist asked. "You've got plenty of time. Got until after Canterlot is finally purified."
"Purified." Rainbow spat. "Using an innocent term to replace your idea of murder!"
Matterhorn struck Rainbow with a heavy punch, sending her head flying sideways, a tooth flying out of her mouth, followed by a splatter of blood.
"Very impressive, Matterhorn." The Completionist said, amused. "Now, it's time for your fimal task." Matterhorn nodded, and trotted out of the room.
"Final task?" Rainbow asked. "What are you going to do now, set off a bomb?"
The Completionist pulled out a hoofgun. "Don't worry about it." He pointed it directly at Rainbow. "You have a funeral to attend to."

Princess Cadance was just arriving for a visit. Her chariot landed at the front gate of Canterlot. As the gate slowly opened, she checked her surroundings. Three chariots surrounded her, guards manning each one.
As the gate opened, she was greeted by the captain of the royal guard.
"Hello." Cadance said in her sweet voice.
Matterhorn smiled. "There's been a security breach. I need you to come with me."

"Zeinwolfe, would you kindly?" The Completionist asked. "I don't like getting my hooves dirty." Zeinwolfe raised his hoofgun. 
"Zeinwolfe, why listen to this old freak?" Rainbow asked. "To see your family again?"
"Vhat are you going on about?" Zeinwolfe asked, pressing the hoofgun against her head.
"I read the files that The Completionist kept on you." She said. "I learned a lot of things. Including the fact that your family is dead."
"Vhat?" Zeinwolfe asked.
"You heard me." Rainbow narrowed her eyes at The Completionist. "He killed your family, and pretended that he will let you see them when you're done. He lied to you. They're gone, Zeinwolfe."
The Completionist growled. "You stupid little blabbermouth!"
BAM! A single gunshot rang out.

"Princess Celestia!" A guard shouted as he pushed through the doors. "Matterhorn has been found." He told her, breathing heavily. "But...he got to Princess Cadance before us."
Princess Celestia froze, and stared at the guard with shocked eyes. Secret patted her on the back, while Applejack trotted out.
"Where are you going?" A guard asked Applejack as she stormed out of the room.
"Ah'm going to find that madman and beat him myself." She growled under her breath. "Tell Twilight the news. And keep searching for Rainbow." She told the guard before trotting off.
