> The Dark Side of Quickbolt > by BarrelStudios > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Assisting Pinkamena > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: Meet-up Quickbolt stepped into the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. "I'm here, Pinkie." He said with an evil grin. "Call me Pinkamena." She stepped out of the darkness. "Who is it today?" He said eager to get started. "Berry Punch." Pinkamena looked at Berry Punch. She was tied up. Quickbolt got the cart. There were knifes, axes, scalpels, and swords. "I like this idea, Pinkamena." He grabbed an axe. "Yes,well,everypony needs an assistant." She grabbed a sword. "You may do the honors." Quickbolt slitted her hooves as Pinkamena started slicing her hair off. It would be used for decoration. When Quickbolt finished the hooves he cut off her cutie mark. Pinkamena quickly finished the mane and tail. She was a professional after all. Berry Punch looked so bland. Quickbolt cut off the skin on her body and head. She looked as if she was already dead. Quickbolt cut off her head to finish it. "Not bad for a starter." Pinkamena looked at him. "You could be useful." Pinkamena shooed him off. Quickbolt flew out, trying to look normal. > Hiding from the truth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Trying to hide what happened Quickbolt stepped into Twilight's library, Pinkie following shortly after. Applejack shot a look at Pinkie, almost thinking she knew what happened, "Anypony know what happened to Berry Punch?" Pinkie gave a sheepish grin. Quickbolt cleared his throat. "So, uh, why are we all here again?" He looked around the room. "Beats me." Rainbow Dash shrugged. Applejack was still looking at Pinkie. While nopony was looking, Quickbolt flashed out a gun and shot Applejack. Applejack collapsed. Everypony but Quickbolt and Pinkie screamed. (And Applejack. She's dead.) Instead Pinkie gave Quickbolt an evil grin and nodded. Quickbolt nodded back. Quickbolt and Pinkie then flung out the door. Everypony left at Twilight's looked around. Quickbolt and Pinkamena flung into the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. "Who is it today?" Quickbolt looked at the chart. " Lyra Heartstrings!" Pinkamena said after pulling out a number. "I know where we could find her." Quickbolt started walking upstairs. > End of the line for Lyra > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3: Lyra's End Quickbolt tossed a golden harp in Lyra's house window. He knew Bon-Bon wasn't home because, well, she almost never is. Lyra chased the harp down to the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkamena caught her and strapped her in. "H-hello?" Lyra looked into the darkness. "Hello, Lyra." Quickbolt and Pinkamena said at the same time. Quickbolt grabbed an axe and chopped Lyra's horn off. Pinkamena cut her mane and tail off. Quickbolt cut all her skin off. And like Berry Punch, already looked dead. He cut her head off. He tossed Lyra's body next to Berry Punch's. "We do good work." Quickbolt said, admiring what they had done. "Me too." Said Pinkamena, doing the same. "I'm awful tired." Quickbolt yawned. Pinkamena was already asleep. Quickbolt was too tired to fly home, so he crashed next to Pinkamena. > End of the Rainbow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4: The End Of The Rainbow Pinkie knocked on Rainbow's door. No answer. Pinkie knocked again. Still no answer. Pinkie gave up and went to Quickbolt's. Pinkie opened the door. "What are you doing?" She asked. Quickbolt pointed his beer towards the TV. Pinkie sighed. "I need help finding Rainbow Dash" Pinkie smacked his head. Quickbolt nodded and sat his beer down. He flew out the door, Pinkie on his back. They scanned the city. "Did you pull a number yet?" He asked curiously. Pinkie nodded. "Oh, Rainbow Dash." Quickbolt looked harder. He looked at the Rainbow Factory and saw Rainbow flying home. Quickbolt pulled out his pocket knife-boomerang and hit Rainbow. They dragged her to the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes. "Hi there." Quickbolt said, holding up an axe. He chopped off her wings. Rainbow Dash shrieked in pain. Pinkie opened her hooves. She then chopped Rainbow's hair off. Rainbow was dead so Quickbolt cut her skin and head off. Blood was all over the place in the basement. But Quickbolt and Pinkie didn't care. > King of Death > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: King of Death Quickbolt awoke to a knock on the door. He hopped up immediatly and hid the bodies. He cleared his throat and opened the door with his best fake smile. Twilight looked at him like he was crazy. "I heard Rainbow Dash screaming." Twilight tried to look past him. "I followed the screaming here." Quickbolt walked downstairs and looked around. He knew where the body was but denied it was there. "Oh well, I'll keep looking for Dash." When Twilight was out of sight he shut the door and let out a heavy sigh. "Since Pinkamena is still asleep I have nothing to do." He left for his house. Hours later Pinkamena came and knocked on the door. "About time." Quickbolt said, opening the door. All she did was hand him with a crown with a skull on it. "Does this mean I'm, like, the King of Death?" All Pinkamena did was nod. Quickbolt tried it on. "Perfect fit." Quickbolt said, trying to get it straight. > Broken Butterfly Wings > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6: Broken Butterfly Wings Quickbolt was still fiddling with his crown when he got a text from Pinkamena. He read it aloud. "I need you to get Fluttershy. I picked out her number. Get her here in an hour." He read over it again. He nodded and sat his phone (wait, what?) down. He flew to Fluttershy's house. She was asleep so he just carried her over. "How easy was it to get her?" Pinkamena said, strapping Fluttershy in. "You wouldn't believe." Quickbolt said, looking at all the numbers Pinkamena picked over time. There were about 30-40. Fluttershy woke up. "Why am I here?" She asked, looking around the room. "Long story." Quickbolt said, pulling out the cart. He grabbed an axe, as always. Pinkamena grabbed a sword, as always. Pinkamena chopped of the hair, as always. Quickbolt chopped of the skin and head, as always. Same routine. Same weapons. Same thing. He put the body with the others. "4 down..." Pinkamena started. "2 to go." Quickbolt finished. Pinkamena poofed up her hair and headed upstairs. Quickbolt followed. > Lifeless Gems > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7: Lifeless Gems Quickbolt was helping Rarity make a new design by supervising and correcting her mistakes. He still had the crown on, but Rarity didn't know what it meant. When Rarity got tired and fell asleep he took her to the basement of Sugarcube Corner to Pinkamena. Pinkamena strapped her in right before she woke up. Rarity opened her eyes slowly. She tried to walk but the straps just shook. Pinkamena and Quickbolt grabbed their weapons. Pinkamena chopped off her hair. Quickbolt cut off her horn. She shrieked as loud as she could. Nopony heard her but Quickbolt and Pinkamena. By the time Rarity was dead, Pinkamena and Quickbolt had hair all over the place. "She put up quite the fight." Quickbolt said, putting away the weapons. Pinkamena nodded. Pinkamena yawned and walked upstairs. Quickbolt fell asleep in the basement. > The Final Battle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quickbolt had a throne designed for him in the basement of Sugarcube Corner. He was sleeping when Twilight snuck in and woke him up. Twilight saw the bodies behind his throne. "How dare you." She said, her eyes locked on the bodies. "How dare YOU break and enter." Quickbolt stood up. Twilight sighed. "You killed Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Berry Punch, and Lyra." Quickbolt looked at the bodies. "Do you have a problem?" Quickbolt tapped the bodies. Twilight nodded. "Then come at me, Twi!" Twilight charged at him and vice versa. There was a flash on collision. They both were sent flying back. 1 of Quickbolt's eyes were bleeding from Twilight's horn. Quickbolt growled and grabbed a sword. He walked towards Twilight. "This isn't you." Twilight said, starting to cry. Quickbolt doubled over with laughter. "Of course it is." Quickbolt said, still laughing. "That was just an act." Twilight helped him stand up. "You don't understand." Twilight came a step closer. "I don't?" Quickbolt said, sitting back down in his throne. "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!" Pinkamena came flying down the stairs. "Pinkie, you don't understand." Twilight said looking to her. "I don't?" Pinkamena said taking a few steps backwards. "No, you don't." Twilight said stepping towards Pinkamena. "I'll just leave you two alone, then." Pinkamena walked back upstairs. Twilight walked towards Quickbolt. "You don't know what your doing." Twilight said, taking his sword. Twilight slowly leaned in but little did she know Quickbolt was already halfway across the room. She fell flat on her face. "YOU don't know what YOUR doing, Twilight." He grabbed another sword. The 2 swords collided. Twilight's sword flew across the room. Twilight, not knowing what to do, kissed him. Quickbolt took a step back. He cleared his throat. "What was that?" He said dropping his sword. "A first second plan B." Twilight said, blushing. Quickbolt smiled. "You were right." He pushed his throne away. "I lost my mind." Twilight revived the ponies that died in Quickbolt's hands. They didn't quite know what happened. But they all knew what Plan B was.
