The silver parachute sailed towards the two unconcious ponies soundlessly. Only when it dropped to the ground with a clatter did the two ponies notice it. Rainbow Dash soon realised what it was, and stood shakily to her feet, wobbling and stumbling as she went. She picked up the container, and opened it. Inside was six flasks of liquid. On the sides of the flasks were little labels telling you what they were. The description told Rainbow that it cleared all smoke from your lungs. Rainbow sipped out of one then set them aside carefully, and looked in the container for anything else. There was something else. A large piece of paper, with what looked like water splattered all over it. It was letter- from Fluttershy.
To Rainbow,
I'm scared. I don't know what to do. Rarity and Pinkie are dead and gone- It will never be the same again. I got these in hope that they will save you and AJ- but... I can't do anything about it. I'm sorry about the messy handwriting and the water. I've been crying, crying ever since it started. I'm glad Twilight is here with me- but she is nowhere near you when it comes to comforting me like best friends do.
The medicine clears your lungs of the smoke and ash. You must take it slowly... There is side effects of breathing problems otherwise.
I.. Rainbow.. I can't live without Rarity and Pinkie.. And I know that either you or AJ will die. Or both of you. I can't bear it anymore. I've made my decision. I can't change that some of my friends have died... And.. If I because I can't, I might as well join them.
Yes. I am saying that I am going to commit suicide. Please, Rainbow, I need to do this. Apart from the dwindling hope that you will survive, I have nothing left for me in this life.
Goodbye Dashie, Your friend Forever,
Fluttershy
All Rainbow Dash could do was stare down at the note in disbelief and complete horror. Applejack had managed to crawl to the flasks and sip some of the medicine, and with a sigh of relief she managed to stand up and see Rainbow Dash weeping over a letter of some sort.
"What in Tarantion? What's the matter, Rainbow Dash?"
"J-Just read this-s"
A horrible silence swept across the cave for a moment, but soon Applejack joined Rainbow in her tears. Nothing was said. The only friend they would have if they returned was Twilight, now.
"We should get down the mountain. Avoid the smoke before this runs out." Said Applejack, finally recovering from her tears and picking up the flasks.
"You're right," said Rainbow Dash, "No point staying here."
They both took a sip of the medicine and started to walk to the bottom, because Rainbow still couldn't fly. Because the flasks were quite small, it wasn't long before they were on the last flask. They started to get desperate. They were not even halfway yet. The sips had to become smaller and smaller- until there was only a couple drops left. They were used up leaving both ponies choking on the ash and smoke.
"Applejack, I think- I can fly. But only a little." Said Rainbow, struggling for breath. But she didn't know that Applejack had collapsed in the smoke, the life draining out of her faster by the second.
A cannon sounded.
"APPLEJACK!? ARE YOU STILL THERE!?" Rainbow shouted, but to no answer. "APPLEJACK, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!
Still, there was no answer. Rainbow Dash searched for Applejack's body and she found it. It was unmoving.
Rainbow took off, with a mixture of severe coughs and tears. She just wanted to be alone. Now she understood Fluttershy. She knew how she felt.
Rainbow searched the sky- and there they were, thee career team, hovering above the river. She didn't care if she won anymore. She just wanted to end this, so that she wouldn't have any grief or worry.
Rainbow was going to sacrifice herself to the careers. Surely that would be rebellious to Celestia. They deserved every bit of rebellion that they were given. They deserved more, for creating these vile death matches.
Rainbow took in a deep breath, and with a powerful flap of her wings, met her fate.
It's now more or less Complete, even though it still needs editing in some parts and I will be adding more to it later.
Why were the first three comments deleted?
Wait, what? It's over? Well, that was unexpected. Great job on this.

Huzzah! Is thou jovial that Pickle Fluff was victorious in the games of hunger?
3916539 Tis true.
Sometimes now I come on and expect to see more book but I'm sad to see it is done and want more to be there it was so good
3921562
Thank you. I'm writing a new Hunger Games fic with a completely different style, made up of OCs, so if you're interested you could always catch up on that.
Welp, I suppose the winner is pickle fluff then.. I look forward to the next one! (also Twilight is only one left )
OMG PICKLE FLUFF WON
I was betting on Chicken Elephant, but he died, so oh well...
You should add something about Twilight going mad and killing everypony, and then jumping off a cliff, making the pony race extinct....
And then, we find out that four ponies are still alive, and it is up to them to remake the pony race.....
I might write it, but if you want to, you could collab with me. Maybe Angel would like to do it...
3964921
OMG YES!!!!!!!!
And, I might make an epilogue about RD. Her death is uncertain, and I should write about how she died (or not.)
3964980
You should! So are you up for the collab?
3965155
Yeah.
3965290
I'm writing the duck story right now!
Do you want to be my editor or something? I'll send it to you in a PM.
3965297
Yes! I'd be glad to, even though it might be wise to have another editor as well as me, I'm not excellent at editing.
P.S...
Ducks are AWESOME!!
3965320
ok!
Interesting concept. Putting on my read later list.
3983087
Thanks.
This was so sad but really awesome as well! Oh no I guess that Twilight is the only Element of Harmony left now
what the heck?

Not for long. If I know Twilights feelings, she is gonna commit suicide with Flutters. Lets see, out of all of them... The pegasi really lived up to their elements. FLuttershy was Kind to herself and put herself out of her misery, Rainbow was Loyal to her friends zat the end when she die herself, and -oh~! thats unexpected! Chicken Elephant lived up to Generosity when he gave his own life for Rainbow's.
