Twilight flipped frantically through all the tomes and scrolls Celestia had sent her on Starswirl the Bearded and his spells.
"Come on....there's gotta be something here...."
"Twilight, I know you're worried," Spike said as he brought her another book. "I am too. But maybe you should slow down a bit..."
"There's no time, Spike!" Twilight cried, not even looking up from her book. "The mirror didn't explode for no reason! Somepony or something didn't want me going over there, which means Sunset and the others are in danger! I need to find a way to get over there before it's too late!"
Sunset found herself in a very familiar area of the school.
She could faintly hear the sounds of whispers, and when she cracked the door open, she saw it was dark inside.
Sighing heavily, she opened the door fully and clapped her hands twice.
The lights in the gymnasium blinked on, shocking the 20 plus students inside.
Sunset's expression was flat. "Really? We're really doing this again?"
"Get her!" cried a student, and everyone charged.
Unlike their previous encounter, the students were now armed with hockey sticks, baseball bats, and knives from the kitchen. They intended to finish what they started.
Sunset didn't even bat an eye. She flicked her wrist, and the students went flying.
"A little advice." Sunset said, her wings flaring out. "If you're going for the element of surprise, it's best not to ambush someone in the same place twice."
She slowing rose into the air, a sheath of green magic covering her arms. "That said, if you're willing to pick up where we left off last night, I'm more than happy to oblige."
Rainbow Dash skidded to a halt as she came to the doors of the gym.
She was a little nervous about going in, knowing what had taken place in there the night before. But she needed a weapon, and this was the best place for it.....well, that and all the knives were missing from the kitchen.
Suddenly, the doors flew open and a frightened student ran out. An unseen force caused him to trip and he was dragged back inside.
"No! NO! OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME-"
The door closed, cutting him off.
Rainbow's heart pounded in her throat, her legs shaking. Slowly, she picked up the bat that the student had dropped, and dared to peak inside.
It was something out of a horror movie. Each corner of the room was worse than the last.
A group of five were moaning and crying in pain on the floor, their limbs clearly broken and twisted at odd angles.
Three boys were pinned to the wall by their arms with knives. Several were embedded in their hands.
There were two crystal statues near the doorway, their faces frozen in horror.
Four students near the bleachers were huddled on the floor shivering, their skin a pale blue.
A large majority were up in the bleachers, fighting of plethora of creatures - giant spiders, giant snakes, giant rats, and the like. Several of the students had large chunks taken out of them already and were bleeding very heavily. One girl was clutching her face and sobbing.
And right in the center, was a very familiar figure with dark red hair and batlike wings.
Sunset.
"Aw, leaving so soon?" she cooed at the frightened student in her grasp. "But we were having so much fun."
"Please.....have mercy...."
Sunset rolled her eyes. "Do I even need to point out how hypocritical that is?" She paused, then looked around the room as she mentally did a head-count. Someone was missing.
"Tell you what. Tell me where Lightening Dust is, and I'll consider not gouging your eyes out."
The student wasted no time. "In the kitchen! She was heading towards the chemistry labs!"
Sunset smiled sweetly. "Much obliged." Her hand slowly made it's way towards his face.
The student struggled in panic. "W-Wait! You said-"
"I said I'd consider it. You really need to work on your listening skills."
The student thrash in Sunset's grasp. "You can't! You can't do this!"
Sunset cocked an eyebrow. "Pretty sure I can. But please, tell me why I supposedly can't. I could use the laugh."
"Cuz Rainbow Dash helped us set you up!" he screamed. "She told us your address! She gave us her phone so Gilda could text you! Everything that happened last night is her fault! So whatever you do to us, you’d have to do to her too! It’s only fair!" He flashed a nervous smile. "And you wouldn’t do that to one of your friends! You can go ahead and ask Snips and Snails if you don’t believe me!"
Sunset blinked. "Take a look around the room for a second."
He did, and his smile slowly slid off as he realized his error. Sunset leaned in. "Do I really look like I give a shit about fair play right now?"
The student whimpered.
Sunset cocked her head in mock consideration. "But you do raise a good point. I would never intentionally do something if I thought that it would cause my friends harm. "
The student visibly relaxed a little, believing he was off the hook.
"There's just one problem with your logic....."
Sunset's fingers jammed themselves into the student's eyes. He screamed as blood ran down his face.
"I don't have any friends."
She ripped her fingers out, bringing two bloodied orbs with her, and dropped the student unceremoniously to the floor.
Sunset turned her head to the sound of sneakers running away fast. She thought she saw a flash of rainbow-colored hair.
She narrowed her eyes. I'll deal with you later, Dash. There's still some people ahead of you in line.
She knows. She knows what I did. And she's gonna kill me.
Oh God forgive me.
Rainbow retched into the toilet, the vomit on her face intermingling with her tears.
Fuck...
Cue the Elfen Lied intro song.
.....DELICIOUS
Revenge is a dish best served cold....and ooh Rainbow it's so very very cold now, and soon become colder.
Yes Sunset. Make em pay. MAKE EM ALL PAY!!!
I hope Rainbow has made her peace with God at this point. Because the outlook for her doesn't look promising.

We are serving a special today, it's called: Karmic Retribution.
It's a cold beef steak that with some special sauce on top that keeps the heat inside it. Cold on the outside but hot on the inside. And I'll even throw in a Pony DemonSet Plushie with it.
Five words: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!
8336993
Be careful. It comes with a double-edged knife.
People have been known to cut themselves with it.
8337019
Yeah i know you mentioned several times there no happy ending. i figured Susnet going to die again only for good, as her body dies slowly.
Lightning Dust should be zapped by lightning.
Also, ideas for the Crusaders
Sunset takes Sweetie's voice.
Sunset makes Scootaloo paralyzed so she can never run or walk again.
As for Apple Bloom, I was thinking you can do something worse.
8337235
I've aready planned out was happens to LD and the CMC.
As for Applebloom, Sunset's taken her and AJ out in one go.
Not only is Applejack's ability to tell the truth taken from her, but she has completely hurt her baby sister, the one person she loves more than anyone else. Even if her curse is lifted, Apple Bloom is going to have a hard time believing her now.
On the flip side, with the revelation that Apple Bloom is Anon-A-Miss....and that everything that happens, directly or indirectly, is her fault, AJ is going to have a hard time trusting her now.
Sunset was going to do something to Apple Bloom, but since Apple Bloom confessed, she doesn't have to now. Her life is essentialy ruined.
8337257
Well, if you need anything, let me know. I do, however, recommend you to spend a bit more time fleshing things out. I do like an interlude where the assailants realize how fucked they are.
Then why isn't it rated M? And why isn't there a tragedy tag?
8337257
So, Sunset doesn't wanna rush. She has all the time in the world.
Dear Rainbow Dash:
8337019
don't worry it a toy knife, but we can subsitute it for something less...dangerous...like a toothpick?
At this point I don't think that Twilight will be able to do much if she comes to the human world by herself, seeing as how the humane 5 are scattered at the moment.
They probably can't use their elements right now anyway.
Unless Twilight brings the rest of her friends, or she's willing to use lethal means, then she may as well not even bother.
8337645
True, but keep in mind that Twilight is still locked out of the loop. She has no idea about all the shit that's gone down.
8337732
Can't wait until she gets caught up to speed.
I'm thinking she'll probably blame herself for a lot of this.
In a way, It's almost like Nightmare Moon all over again.
did you do that image?
8337823
But still. It doesn't change the fact that it's too late to save Sunset now. So whatever she tries, it's useless. Cause, if Principal Celestia and Flash weren't able to talk Sunset out of her darken state, How is Twilight going to have a better chance at it?
8339099
Who said anything about talking Sunset out of things?
Hatta said in the description that this won't have a happy ending, so I don't see anyone talking Sunset out of anything.
And if that darkness growing on her body is anything to go by, I'm predicting that she's going to be a mindless killing machine (or close to it) by the time Twilight shows up.
If nothing else, beyond all hope of reasoning.
I'm just waiting to see how/if Twilight is able to change anything.
She'll either find a way to stop Sunset through lethal or non-lethal means, or she'll fail and get smacked aside like everyone else.
8338500
Yes. Yes I did.
8339168
In that case, the way things are going, I'm definitely betting the latter.
8340133
...Awesome.
I love this! It's absolutely perfect!
8337480
You'd be surprised how much damage can be done with a toothpick.
Eww
8339341
well it's awesome
8336809
It must be Ice Cold.
8345831
They had their chance... They blew it... Now it blows up in their faces.
SWEET CELESTIA. You weren't kidding when you said it would get dark!
Tired ass cliche that everyone knows but hey that tired-ass cliche works every time when you're emphasizing how royally screwed you really are

I hope to one day have a chamber door that is heavy and tight enough to function in that manner, Herr/Frau Morgenstern. The abattoir needs to be soundproof.

It would have been even more choice if they literally were clawing at the door screaming "I want to live" I'm sure everyone who's a fan of horror movies can hear that. Am I wrong Mine froin? And I'm going to venture a guess and say that you would like those doors to be as thick as something from Transylvania architecture. Dracula's castle perhaps
