The pain off loss

There was blood on the walls and ceiling, bio mechanical body parts littered the floor as five people moved down it, guns raised.

Dear god… Who or what could have done this to a changeling hive of thousands? thought Shadow as they neared the end of the corridor, it split into five directions two either side. He signalled to stop.

“Amethyst, Graymane, you take the left. Razor Light take the right I will go down the centre” commanded Shadow. They split up.

“East clear.”

“Northeast clear.”

“West clear.”

“Northwest clear.”

“This is Shadow Wolfpack, regroup on my position. I found a survivor.”

In the centre of the main chamber, a man was sobbing in a pool of blood and gore cradling the body of a young girl with purple hair.

“Who are you?” Shadow asked the man who simply replied:

“Redsopine.”

“Ok Red, what happened here? What happened to you and her? What was her name?”

“Her name’s Scootaloo, she’s my niece. As to what happened here, I killed them. All of them. I just wanted to save her but I failed.

Three days earlier

Red’s phone went off in the middle of the night. Grumbling to himself, he saw who it was and answered.

“Scoots! Do you have any idea what time it is? It’s the middle of the night!”

“Red! Help, something’s trying to break in and mom’s hurt! Please help!” Scootaloo’s voicewere panicked and he heard a crash in the background.

“No! They’re here! Stay away from me you monsters! Let go of me!“

“Scoots! Scootaloo listen to me! I’ll find you, just be brave-“

“NO-“

The phone cut off.

“Shit!” Red swore angrily before racing over to Rainbow’s house. When he got there, it was a mess. He saw a trail of blood. Following it, he found his sister. She was in bad shape and bleeding badly.

“Rainbow! Hey Dashie! It’s me, Red! You’re ok now, I'm here.”

Rainbow’s eyes opened and she smiled and spoke in her raspy voice.

“He he… Why is it every time we see each other one of us is hurt?” she tried to stand but fell back in a slump.

“Hey, don't push yourself Dash, what happened here? Who did this?” Red asked.

“Some kind of mechanical bugs, one even bit me Red. I-I don't have long but promise me you will save Scootaloo, promise me.”

"I promise Dashie now hang in there im gonna try to stop the bleeding * Red pulls out two strange looking crystals and hands one to Rainbow as hes hair starts to glow * chew this it will help with the pain and will keep you awake while i patch you up

"Where did you learn first aid bro, how can i eat a crystal and why the hell is your hair glowing?

" theres a lot you need to know about me first off i learnt it as a kid, the crysatls are edible trust me on that and the glow well you will see in a secound * red grabs a bowl and fills it with water before crushing a crystal in it and pours some down Ranbows troat before the mixture thicked and he applied it to a strip of clothing he tore from hes shirt * what u just drank should help with any internal bleeding and this will help stop the bleeding but it requires alot of heat to work sis

Rainbow stares in wonder as Reds hair sets alight as a flame appears on hes hand while the one holding the makeshift bandage froze like ice as he applied it to her wounds * ahhhhh thats cold * Redsopine apllies he burning hand to the ice * ahhhhhhhhh hot hot hot* dash screams in pain before passing out

Red sighs * i told her to eat the crystal to numb the pain now wheres her phone ah here it is * the phone was lying in a pool of green blood and he growls a inhuman growl * chrisylis you will pay but first * he hits speed dill and calls Applejack

Buzzzzzzz buzzzzz * consadit Rainbow its 3AM this had better be important * Applejack sighs and answers the phone * Yer what is it Dash it had better be good

"Applejack this is redsopine Rainbow brother look soething attacked her house theyve taken Scootaloo and Dash is hurt we need to get her to a hospital now

"Slow down a secound did you say Dash is hurt and Scootaloos missing

"Yes i did an we need to get her to a hospital now

1 Hour later

Im sorry sir but her ingeriues were to sever she die from blood loss * was the doctors grim news

Changeling hive locathion unknown

Out of the shadows a changeling approached the prison cell. Making sure the prisoner he carried was securely tied he chucked her in and slammed the door, locking it and standing guard. A girl rushed over and untied the prisoner.

“Hey! My name’s Scootaloo, what’s your name and where are we?

“Changeling hive- and the names Treble, Treble Star.

Wait your Treble moms sister Treble who dissapeared 5 years ago that Treble

Eyup was Trebles reply


Present day Changeling hive

“So they killed your sister and kidnapped you niece then what happened?” Asked Shadow as they were walking, Red still cradling Scootaloo’s body.

“I began hunting them down after I buried my sister” Red barked out a small laugh

“Dumb bastards left one behind to take care of me; they heard the call- screwed up with that I killed it after forcing it to tell me where Scootaloo was.

Two days before

Redpine knelt before the grave he had dug before placing his sister inside. He filled it in and crafted a small gravestone, he carved into it:

HERE LIES RAINBOW DASH

BELOVED MOTHER AND SISTER

MAY SHE FIND PEACE

Requiescat in pace dear sister a tear dropped to the ground and Red howled his pain to the sunrise.

He returned to his sister’s house to search for anything to find the things that killed her and took Scootaloo, but he came up with nothing. Determined to find them, he slipped his eyes to their purple state and was furious by what he saw. Now he knew who did this.

“Chrysalis! I should have known the Bug Queen was behind this!”

He turned to leave and came face to face with a large changeling! Its garbage and mechanical face inches from his own, he saw another behind it. He grinned and spoke

“So the queen wants me dead. Well, give her a message from me: after I kill her lapdog here I'm coming for her. Well, go! Or do you want to die as well?” With that, Red’s hands became claws, his skin became as hard as stone and set alight before freezing with the fire running inside it. His wings splayed open, the feathers burning a bright wispy blue, his hair grew long past his shoulders and turned to ice but still moved with his movements. His teeth became sharp he removed his tinted shades and his eyes turned pure emerald green red and blue smoke pouring from them. He put his hands together and slowly separated them, crafting a battle axe. The blade flames and the shaft ice he grips it with two hands and charges the changelings he smirks at their shocked faces.

“What, you thought just because I'm human you could kill me like that? Oh no no no I am much more than human my body is but my soul is Equestrian!”

The smaller changeling flees as Red hit the larger one in the gut before grabbing its head.

“Now I'm gonna make you scream like the scared thing you are and when I'm done you will be begging for death but not before I make you tell me where you took my niece! So? Tell me!”

The changeling remained silent.

“So be it but I will make you talk one way or the other!”

Red lifted the changeling up by its throat and looked it in the eyes before it starts to scream in fear as it saw the horrors and pain its victims felt.

“It told me how to find the hive and I cut its head off before burning the body to ash in my hands. I returned to my home and grabbed my old Pegasus hoodie and put it on then I took off for the hive it took me a day to find when i arrived i was greeted with ten armed guards at the entrance Redpine finished

“I must say I am impressed you took out one of their best fighters alone, even more you got it to talk. But why did you come alone and unarmed?” Shadow asked looking puzzled

“They knew I was coming for them so I tried diplomacy and by that I tore them apart and stormed the hive.”

1 hour ago

“WHERE IS SHE!? TELL ME!” Red screamed at the final guard who just pointed at the hive.

“P-prison cells.” He stammered.

As Red went to enter he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He pulled a dart out and with a groan hit the dirt. The last thing he saw before he passed out was the queen bitch herself standing over him.

“Take him to the main chamber and bring the girl to me” Chrysalis ordered.

Redpine awoke to find himself chained to the floor. He saw Scootaloo in front of him and tried to get to her but the chains stopped him just before he reached her. The queen strode in flanked by twenty guards.

“Ah, you’re awake. Good. I don’t want you to miss this- my daughter’s first kill. ZERO GET IN HERE!”

“YES MOTHER” came the reply as a changeling different from the others walked in. Red could tell she was a queen. When Zero saw Red chained and Scootaloo knocked out she rushed over to Scootaloo.

“GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BUG!” Roared Red

“Calm down! I’m a doctor” Zero checked Scootaloo’s pulse “She’s ok, just asleep. MOTHER WHAT IS THE MEANING FOR THIS!?”

“Time for you to show your loyalty to your kind dear daughter. NOW KILL THE CHILD AND THIS HUMAN OR JOIN YOUR FRIEND IN THE PRISON! Oh yes, I know about your friendship with Treble Star”

At the mention of Treble’s name Redpine looked at Zero’s face.

“You know my sister? Is she ok? Is she here?” Zero looked at Red confused but before she could answer the queen hit her.

“I told you to kill them! Now do it!” The look of hatred Zero gave her mother made her step back, she turned to Red

“You must be Red, Treble’s talked about you. She is ok and well but she was moved when word came you were heading here.”

Zero went to leave but turned back to Red

“If you live through this, come find me.” With that, Zero left.

“So even your daughter hates you! How touching. Now let my niece go before I rip your head off and piss in you skull!”Redpine demanded. He started to break the chains but felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked down to see a spear sticking through his side. He pulled it out and continued breaking the chains.

“Hehe, that hurts but not as much as you’re going to!”

Chrysalis laughed.

“You think you can scare me? I am going to make you suffer for that by killing those you love starting with the girl- Ah! She’s awake now PIN HIM DOWN!” A horde of changelings pinned Red to the floor but made sure his head stays up forcing him to watch as the queen slowly bit Scootaloo’s neck before tearing it out.

“NO! SCOOTALOO! NO NO NO!”

A inhuman roar erupted from Red as his body set alight incinerating the changeling's holding him and melting the chains.

“You bitch! You hurt my family and killed all those I care about now watch as I do the same to you!” Red roared in a demonic voice. Without looking, he raised a hand and all the changelings except the queen and Zero exploded into bloody chunks. As he went to kill the queen Scootaloo grabbed his leg and he calmed down.

“Don’t become like them! Please…” Those were the last words she said to me.

“So I let the queen go but I swear I will find her and stop her hurting anyone else! Requiescat in pace dear sister , Scootaloo.”

Redpine walked away from the graves and took off into the sky, tears in his eyes as his hunt began.
