	Rainbow slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the motionless body of The Completionist. She turned her head, and saw Zeinwolfe. His hoofgun was pointing towards the corpse.
Rainbow put a hoof on the gun, and slowly took it away from him.
"It's okay." She whispered. "It's okay..."

The guards approached Matterhorn. The destruction behind him was unbelievable. A bunch of blown up chariots, dead guards, and the severed head of Princess Cadance, sitting right in front of him.
Applejack trotted up to him. "Ya better die quickly." She spat as Matterhorn kept his smirk.

Rainbow led Zeinwolfe outside, where guards caught them. Rainbow quickly explained what happened, and the guards eased. A couple of guards assisted Rainbow and the shocked Zeinwolfe to the castle, while the others raided the building.


Intro


"He was just sitting there?" Twilight asked. Applejack nodded, and Twilight scratched her mane. "Something's not right."
A guard poked into the room. "Excuse me, Princess, but your friend, Rainbow Dash, has been found. She's down the hall."
Twilight released a sigh of relief. "We should go see her."
The two trotted down the hallway to Rainbow's room. Two guards were posted outside. Rainbow was next to the bed, where Zeinwolfe rested. Rainbow was talking to Spitfire and Secret.
"What happened to your mouth?" Spitfire asked.
Rainbow smiled, showing off the missing tooth. "Long story."
"What happened to Zeinwolfe?" Twilight asked, examining the stallion.
Rainbow sighed. "He saved my life." She told her. "He's going through some...deep stuff. Just give him some time."
Twilight turned her head. "There's only one left." She said, looking at the other ponies.
"And he's right where we want him." Spitfire added.
"No." Secret said. "He's right where he wants to be."	

Matterhorn was flanked by royal guards, all with their weapons ready. He watched as Princess Celestia entered the throne room, accompanied by Secret.
"Matterhorn." Princess Celestia scowled. Twilight, Applejack, Spitfire, and Rainbow entered the room.
Matterhorn's eyes rested on Rainbow. "You're supposed to be dead."
"You're supposed to be a good assassin." She spat back.
"At least I don't betray my family!" He growled as a guard held him back.
"You were never my family." Rainbow told him. "I was never on your side.'
Matterhorn lunged and struggled, only to get whacked in the side of the head by a guard. Matterhorn spat out a tooth, and Rainbow grinned at the irony.
"That's enough!" Celestia's voice boomed, her voice echoing throughout the room. Everypony turned the heads to look at her.
Celestia rested her raging eyes on Matterhorn. "You have committed more crimes than anypony in Canterlot!" She told him, the anger showing well in her tone. "You murdered three important figures, assisted in the deaths of five others, attempted to kill a princess, assisted in the attempt of countless more murders, slaughtered our guards, and plotted to destroy Canterlot!"
"Pretty impressive feat, if you ask me." Matterhorn gloated. One of the guards hit him with a baton to set him straight.
"Not even death is suitable for your terrorism and betrayal." Celestia spat. "It will take eternities for me to come up with a punishment for your kind. Unfortunately, you don't have that long." Celestia stared him down.
"Do I get a say?" Matterhorn asked.
"Not even a squee." Celestia replied harshly.
"Can I call a friend?" Matterhorn asked, a smirk crawling across his face.
Before anypony could answer, a radio that was held by one of the guards switched on. "All clear in the building." A guard's voice reported through the radio.

The guards were clearing out of the building. All that was left was to remove the body.  He bent over to pick up the corpse, but The Completionist suddenly lunged forward, inserting a knife straight into his neck.
"Whoa!" The guards quickly armed themselves and aimed at The Completionist. "Not clear! I repeat, not clear!" A guard shouted into the radio. 
The Completionist held up the dead guard's radio, along with another device.
"Put down the device!" A guard shouted. More guards yelled at him, demanding him to put the device down.
One guard perked his ears to hear a beeping sound. He looked in the direction it was coming from. There was a single table, where a ton of documents laid. He rummaged through the papers, and threw them off the table. The beeping sound still bothering him, he looked under the table. His eyes widened. The device was a detonator.
"Booooomb!" He shouted, turning to run. The Completionist pressed the button.

Celestia's eyes widened. Everypony was shocked. Matterhorn just stood there, an evil smirk on his face.
"You little!..." Spitfire lunged, Twilight and Rainbow holding her back. "I'm going to kill you!"
Matterhorn laughed, only to get struck by the baton again. He fell over, dropping a small device on the floor. A guard picked it up. "It's a detonator! It's been armed!"
Celestia narrowed her eyes. "Where are the bombs?" She asked.
"Right where I wanted to be." He said.
Secret quickly realized what he was talking about. He pulled out his radio. "Front gate?"
"Yes, sir?" A guard answered.
"Get out of there!" Secret shouted. "Now!"
It was too late, as a loud explosion erupted in the distance. From the window view, Spitfire, Rainbow, and Twilight watched as the wall fell.
Celestia grabbed Secret's sword and approached before Matterhorn quickly. She sent the blade into his chest before anypony could react.
She was satisfied, but it wasn't for long.
"Tick tock..." Matterhorn managed. "Boom."
A beeping sound was heard through the silence. "Run!" A guard shouted.
KA-BOOM!
