Kill Your Heroes

by pokefreak13

Goodbye

I awoke with a kick to my ribs.
"Get up." ordered a guard.
I got up and followed the guard out of the damp cold cell and into the blinding light of outside.
Once my eyes adjusted, I trembled in fear. Not from the fact that I was heading to my death, but from the fact that there were a lot of ponies staring at me and my stage fright started to kick in. I know it's stupid, but crowds really scare me.

---

I was yanked up onto the stage and King Sombra greeted me with a smile. Then he turned to the crowed.
"We are very lucky. For today we have finally captured all of those foul traitors." Sombra announced.
The crowed erupted into cheer. However, this wasn't the fake cheer that we slaves usually did. Instead this was a real cheer.
"What did you do to them!" I shouted at the king.
"Why, I only opened their minds to the truth." he hissed.
Then, I was led to the execution log and the executioner strapped me to it. I let out a yelp as the thorns dug into my skin.
The log rose up and the crowed of hungry faces looked at me like I was a demon.
"Kill her!" they shouted.
Sombra smiled and looked at me.
"Fire Cracker, do you have any last words?" he questioned.
I looked at all those angry faces and took a deep breath.
"Kill your heroes and fight!" I shouted.
Then the executioner swung the axe at my throat.

What? Expected a happy ending? Well life isn't all happy like some ponies make you believe. Sure life can have a happy ending. However for me I was one of the few who got the sad ending.

I really like this story. It reminds me of a geode. Very rough around the edges but with something wonderful beneath it. I found some of the naming a bit odd though, but perhaps that is just me. (I thought Fire Cracker might have been better off as Fire Ruby)

Also why does Fire Cracker a Crystal Pony have fire-bending abilities?! Not sure if I should ponder that or chuckle at it.
