Fighting for her life

"What are you going on?!" asked Pinkie at the mad Twilight.
"It was you all along!" she screamed hysterically.
"HOW?!"
"Every time one of us died," she hissed, "You were mysteriously not accounted for or had some excuse."
"HUH?!"
"Before Fluttershy was found dead, you were found with a lump on your head while you were following her. You did that without letting any of us knew she tried to run away. I didn't think about it at the time, but I think now that that blow shouldn't have been hard enough to knock you out for more than a few seconds. It wasn't that serious at all."
"No way!"
"Then before we found Rarity's body, you were again absent for more than a few minutes."
"I was staring at a rock formation in the shape of Celestia's... uh..."
"Go on."
"Okay, it was shaped just like her butt! Tail and everything!" she blurt out, "The only thing missing was her cutie mark so I drew that in with my crayons!"
"A likely story," she continued, "and then you happened to conveniently fall into a hole while Applejack was murdered. Again, you came out of that hole hardly scratched."
"You know I can be a little clumsy at times!" pleaded Pinkie.
"Now you 'accidentally' trip a trap cutting us off from Gilda and Rainbow Dash. You knew it would take all my focus AND a lot of time to lift that dropped wall, so you could have slipped around any number of ways to murder them while I was busy."
"You're getting paranoid again!" growled Pinkie.
"So now you're going to a cell for the rest of your life!" she screamed, "But first... first... I'M GOING TO HURT YOU FOR ALL THE PAIN YOU PUT US THROUGH!!" Her horn glowed as several spears also glowed and floated into the air.
Pinkie screamed as she dove towards another door leaving the trophy room. She smashed through even as the spears embedded into the wall around the doorway. "STOP IT!" she yelled, "IT WASN'T ME!"
"THEN WHO WAS IT, YOU LIAR?!"
She scrambled wildly down the hall as more spears chased her.
"Just how many spears were in that room?!"
She could hear the insane cackles of Twilight as she walked after the terrified pink pony. Half a dozen broadswords floated all around her. She looked even more crazy than before, like the time she missed a friendship report to Celestia and went off the deep end.
"YOU BETRAYED US PINKIE!" she snarled, "YOU BETRAYED ME!!"
"I didn't do anything!"
"MAYBE I'LL LET YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO THE JUDGE IN TARTARUS!!"
Pinkie scrambled down the corridor towards the next door. She just smashed through that because of her adrenaline high. Behind her, Twilight roared like a monster. Looking around, she realized she just crashed into a full sized kitchen. So she shoved the heaviest counter in front of the door and waited.
...
Twilight wailed as they doorway between her and Pinkie was blocked. She stomped up to the door and began pounding on it with her front hooves.
"Pinkie Pie, Pinkie Pie!" she huffed, "Let me in!"
"Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!"
"Then my horn shall glow and glow, and I'll BLOW THIS DOOR IN!"
"Technically I already broke down the door..."
Twilight roared out her rage. Then she blasted the obstruction with a blast spell reducing it to splinters. Stomping into the room, she looked for the pink pony.
"Ah my friend," said a voice nearby in a terrible impersonation of a Prench accent, "Welcome to Che Pink! The finest Equestrian restaurant in this whole dungeon!"
She looked to see somepony dressed in a full white chef outfit complete with the poofy white hat.
"HUH?!" she growled.
"Come come," she said as she pushed Twilight towards a table, "You are the early so it will take a moment to complete your order. Would you like some wine while you wait?"
"ARGH?!"
"The waiter is our sick so I have to do this all myself," she mumbled as she pushed the raging violet unicorn down into a chair, "I can never count on that blasted dog unless he's had his snack fix." The chef then secured a bib about her neck.
"HURRR?!"
"Nothing!" she said as she ran back to the stove.
Twilight started to turn her head.
"No peeking!" yelled the chef, "This is professional secrets back here!"
So she turned back to look at two full place settings before her.
"Oh darn!" she said, and then added as Twilight started to look again, "Still no peeking!" So she snapped her gaze forward again. Then she felt a blindfold tied over her eyes as the chef said, "I'm so sorry, but the pasta she will be much better if you no look at it."
"GRR?!"
The next thing she knew, she was hogtied to the chair with cooked strand pasta, a large pot was slammed over her head, and then something was used to smack into the side of the pot hard making her ears ring. Then there was the sound of running away and a door opening and slamming.
"RRRAAARRR!!!" she screamed as she used her magic to blow away the pasta, the blindfold and the pot off her head. It also wrecked most of the kitchen in the process, "I KILL YOU NOW!!!" Oddly enough, something happened to make sure she would never get her wish.
...
'That should get me a minute to think,' thought Pinkie as she ran down the hall. 'By Celestia, I don't want to hurt Twilight, but I'm running out of choices here!' She paused as she thought, 'THINK! There must be something in my mane that can help!' She had a few minutes to set something up when she realized Twilight wasn't coming after her. There was an odd quiet which had fallen over the whole place. After the magical explosion, there was nothing. Nothing at all. She waited a few more minutes to be sure.
She slowly made her way down the hall back to the wreckage of the kitchen. Then she saw the reason there was no pursuit. The headless body of Twilight Sparkle was still sitting in the chair, but this time her head was right where it had fallen from her body.
"NO!!" screamed Pinkie.
"Now it's just down to you and me!" hissed a voice, "Or should I say... ME AND ME?!" She turned to see Pinkamena Diane Pie wearing a pair of fake griffon talons over her front hooves. They were soaked in the blood of her victims.
"WHY?!"
