“Ah, Luna, my bitch of a sister. How art thee on this beautiful morning.” The Queen knelt down to become level with her younger sister. “I hope Rainbow Dash didn’t hurt you too much.”
“Sister, what hath become of you?” Luna pushed herself up onto her knees, her arms struggling to hold her weight. “Why do you hate us so?”
“Because dear sister,” she picked up Luna by the neck and pinned her against the wall with all of her strength, “you are the only thing standing in the way of my vision of pure perfection. . .Rainbow, get your Element. We are going to purify the world tonight. Starting with my sister.”
“But your majesty, I thought she was the key to total perfection.” I said to my Queen respectfully.
Celestia took a deep breath and let Luna go. The younger princess hit the floor hard, her body trembling. The Queen fixed her crown and turned to me, her slave. “The plan has changed my dear Rainbow Dash. Now go get your Element of Betrayal.”
“Not so fast Celestia!” A familiar voice shouted.
I turned around and gasped. My most hated enemies walked into the room, their Elements around their necks. “How did you get in here?” I demanded as I stomped towards them. “I will not let you hurt my Queen!”
Celestia laughed and walked to my side. “You five again? You’ll never be able to defeat me without the sixth Element.”
“Maybe not,” Twilight stepped forward; she stood like royalty, “but we will be able to get our friend back.”
I growled. “I am not your friend. I am a servant to the Queens master plan as everyone is.”
“Kill them.” Celestia said to me blankly as she turned to go back to her sister.
I spread my wings out wide and screamed out in a war cry. I rushed Twilight Sparkle, knocking her off of her feet. The princess tried to get up, but I was faster. I punched her in the back of the head, knocking her out. I looked at the rest of my enemies; their scared faces made me chuckle.
“Who’s next?” I asked, crouching for another attack.
AJ attacked at my right. The farmer kicked at me, but I grabbed Applejack’s leg and twisted hard, popping the bone out of the socket. I then turned to face a scowling Rarity. I screamed at the beauty queen and hit her in the gut, dropping her instantly. Pinkiepie jumped into the air, a fist ready to shoot forward. I grabbed her first, twisting her hand, then kicked her in the side. Fluttershy stood motionless, tears streaming down her face.
“What? You’re not even going to try to hurt me?” I taunted.
Fluttershy shook her head, taking a step forward. “I’m going to use my Element. . .we used to be so close Rainbow Dash. How did this happen?”
I scoffed and turned away from the gentleness Fluttershy was showing me. “I told you, my eyes have been opened to the truth.”
“Look around you Dash! You just hurt your friends! Where is your loyalty? Where is the real you?” Fluttershy kept moving towards me. “Look at me in the eyes and tell me that you don’t love us. . .that you don’t love me.”
I locked eyes with her and started to form the words, but they wouldn’t come. I tried once more, growing more frustrated by the minute. Finally accepting defeat, I said, “I can’t say it. Not to your face.”
Fluttershy was now two feet from me. “Then you should know that Celestia is lying to you. Do you think she really cares about you? Sombra’s using her Rainbow. . .” Flutters took another step forward, grabbing me at her shoulders. “Please, come back to me.”
I could feel Celestia’s grasp loosening. I turned my head to see Twilight standing, holding the back of her head; it was bleeding. She was screaming a spell the the Queen, who was screaming back at her. I turned back to my old friend and smiled. “I have to go save my Queen.”
“No Dashie. No you don’t. She’s not your master.” Fluttershy pulled me into a hug and ran her fingers through my hair. “You’re coming home with us.”
AJ grunted as she finally got her leg back into place. She stood, limping over to Twilight to help defeat the Queen. Rarity followed her shortly after. Pinkie was rubbing her arm as she stood to join the group.
“Fluttershy. . .I’m so sorry for what I’ve done.” I whispered.
Flutters Element started to glow bright pink. “It’s okay.” She said as she let go. She gave me a kiss on the cheek as she walked passed to join the others.
I turned and watched as my former master was defeated. I started to sob as the reality of my actions flooded my mind. I had killed so many innocent people, creatures; they were gone forever. “What have I done?” I whispered to myself as Celestia’s grasp let go of my mind.
