The CMC has finally had enough of Diamond tiara, Silver spoon and everypony else they are fed up with everypony saying how they can't get their cutie mark so they do the unthinkable...
The cutie Mark crusaders can't take it anymore. People telling them what to do, how they will never get their cutie marks, being blank flanks forever and how everybody ignores them and doesn't understand their pain. Normally they would try to forget about it and not listen to them but this day and this time it was different.
Another boring day in the CMC clubhouse they spent writing lists and trying out to see if they'll get their cutie marks by at least one of these ideas.
Normally Scootaloo would want to participate by saying something like "How about we do zip lining again?? or or what about we try to train a lion and get lion training cutie marks!" but today she didn't want to do anything at all she was barely listening to the girls going on and on about how to get their cutie marks, she was so bored sitting there though none of the other crusaders Apple bloom and Sweetie Belle seemed to noticed Scootaloo's strange quiet demeanor.
"Hmm how abou' we do Shark fightin'?" Apple bloom suggests cheerfully
"No we can't and there's no way Rarity would let me do that" Sweetiebelle says
"Ah guess yer right Applejack wouldn't let me either" Apple bloom replies
"What if we try and become ponywitches?" Apple bloom asks
"Sounds stupid..." Muttered Scootaloo
"Nah the last time we tried magic or witchcraft it didn't go so well" Sweetie belle answered
"What if we try animal feeding like what fluttershy does? Imagine all of the cute kitties I could feed" Asked Sweetie Belle smiling
"Yeah but let's stay away from bees cause' ah'm allergic" Apple bloom says while laughing softly
"Yeah you're right I guess, that's a no then how about we-" Sweetie belle says but suddenly she gets cut off by Scootaloo
"UGH I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE" Scootaloo shouts loudly, louder than she even intended too, her two best friends fell to silence as Scootaloo continued.
"Don't you get it?! Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon are right we're never going to be able to get out cutie marks no matter how hard we try!!" She shouts as tears of anger run down her face.
"S- s- scoots... ah' know that it's getting annoying an' all but we have to keep tryin'..." Apple bloom says in a soft yet scared tone
"Trying for what?! we've already tried everything!" Scootaloo shouted back
Apple bloom looked into Sweetie belle's eyes knowing full well that Scootaloo was right they've been doing this forever and nothing they do was working. Tears started to roll down Sweetie belle's eyes knowing that she and her beloved best friend was thinking the same thing.
"S- she's right it's hopeless..." Sweetie says as her normal cheerly high pitched voice turning into a sad depressed tone.
"Y'all we can't give up we have to find our true talents we jus' have too!" Apple bloom tried to protest even if she knew it wasn't going to help
"Bloom, I know you know it's true we won't be able to get our cutie marks..."
Apple bloom sighed as she stood up
"What are we going to do now? I mean we basically created The Cutie Mark Crusaders what's the point if we're not going to bother getting our cutie marks" Said Sweetie Belle
"Well we've always tryed getting our cutie marks but doing *good* stuff and sometimes dangerous but never y'know...."
"Scootaloo you're not suggesting that we should hurt somepony are ya...?" The yellow filly said quietly
"No not necessarily... but what if we did kill somepony what if we got our cutie marks then? Can't you see how cool it would be??"
"Scoots ah' love ya an' all though this idea of your is crazy!"
Suddenly, a burst of anger over came Scootaloo as she shouted
"Apple bloom I know what you've been doing to yourself because of Diamond tiara!! Don't you want to get revenge?! Think of it she can finally get the payback she deserves!!"
"I- Who told you..." Apple bloom says stunned by her friend's statement while at the verge of tears
Scootaloo cursed under her breath as realised what she just said
"Apple bloom what is she talking about...?" Asked Sweetie Belle with a sad a worrying concerning face
"It's nothin' Sweetie forget about it..."
There was an awkward silence in the room after Apple Bloom seemed to be in deep thoughts, Scootaloo regretting what she said and blaming her self in her mind over and over again, and last but not least Sweetie Belle who was remincing to herself on what Scootaloo meant and if it's not what she thought it was, Nopony spoke a word to each other until Apple bloom cleared her throat and began to say.
"You're right."
"I'm so sorry for saying that Apple bloom I didn't know I said that and I didn't mean it either-"
"Wait what?!" The young orange Pegasus replied
"Ah' said you're right Diamond deserves to pay!" The farmer filly said louder
Scootaloo smiled as she turned to Sweetie Belle.
"What about you Sweetie are you in?" Asked Scootaloo
"Y- yeah haha" Replied Sweetie Belle as she laughed nervously
Sweetie Belle didn't know what to say, or to feel for a matter of fact her two best friends she's known forever wanted to kill somepony how could they? Why would they want too do such a thing for just a cutie mark?
The filly's went to sit down at a table as Scootaloo and Apple bloom began to fantasize on what they should do to their annoying bully Diamond.
"What if we follow her home??" Scootaloo suggested
"She's lives in a mansion so there's gotta be security an' she probably has bodyguards too!" Answered Apple Bloom
"Damn it you're right! You got any ideas?" The Orange Pegasus said
"We can try an' fillynap her tomorrow at the end of class an take her somewhere" Applebloom said
"That's a good idea but what about the others in our class?" Wondered Scootaloo
"Oh right ah' kinda forgot about them" admitted Apple bloom
"Let's hope Silver Spoon doesn't go to school tomorrow she'll be around Diamond tiara all day" Said a half annoyed Scootaloo
"Don't worry Scoots ah' already got a plan B for that" Replied Apple Bloom
"Perfect well it's settled then Cutie Mark uhhh what do we call ourselves now-?" Asked Scootaloo
"We didn't think of any yet we eh it doesn't matter can think about that tomorrow" Answered Apple Bloom
"You're right I can't wait for tomorrow it's gonna be the best day ever I know it!" Said Scootaloo as she flapped her wings eagerly
They both laughed as Apple bloom and Scootaloo turned to their friend Sweetie Belle, as Apple Bloom put a hoof on her unicorn friend's shoulder and said
"Your awfully quiet there Sweetie somethin' wrong?" She asked worriedly
"Hm? Oh it's nothing I think I should get going now or Rarity's gonna get mad at me"
It was a peaceful, silent morning in ponyville, you could hear the lovely nature from outside, it was a also very sunny, a perfect day to buck apples.
"Rise an' shine Apple Bloom it's morning and ya need to get to school we don't want yer late now do we?" Her big sister said while entering the young filly's room
"Five more minutes...." Groaned a tired Apple Bloom as she faceplanted into the pillow
"Ah guess ya don't want granny's famous apple pancakes for breakfast then? Alright suit yerself ah guess" Applejack said about to leave
"Ok okay I'm up!" Apple Bloom replied as she got off her bed and went to the bathroom
"See that's the spirit!" Applejack laughed to herself while leaving the room.
A slightly tired and annoyed Apple Bloom who was now standing in the bathroom started to ponder about her day, she had nearly forgotten that today was the day she and the crusaders were gonna kill Diamond Tiara, her pegasus friend Scootaloo suggested that she (AB) was going to be the one to get a knife because Rarity has security from being a rich design maker and she can't do it herself cause she can't reach the knife due to her flight disability.
Of course Apple Bloom being the friend she is she decided to help them, even if she knew Applejack might ask about why the hay she was carrying a knife in her bag
Apple Bloom snapped out of her deep thoughts. As looked at the time and realised she was gonna be late, she quickly splashed her face with water to get her mind off of her thinking, took her bag/saddle and quickly trotted downstairs
Once she went downstairs she noticed how Applejack wasn't there, neither was her older brother Big Mac, without thinking she quickly got a stool and started to reach for a knife. She was unsure hat kind of knife so she just took the sharpest one there which was usually used for work labor.
"Apple Bloom!" Shouted somepony from the distance, as they went closer she realised it was Applejack
"AH" Apple Bloom screamed as she fell on her flank, the seat wobbleing. She looked up to see her sister Applejack
"What in tarnatin are ya still doing here?! Ah thought ya already left! Ah've been calling you're name for ages but ya didn't respond where in Celestia's sake were ya" Shouted an angry and confused Applejack
"Ah'm real sorry sis! Ah- ah was in mah room! Ah didn't realize that ah took that long" Apple Bloom apologized
"It's alright sis just make sure it don't happen again ya hear me?" Applejack answered
"Yeah got it!" She replied nervously
Apple Bloom didn't bother to eat breakfast, she considered taking it with her but she didn't wanna waste more time she quickly open the door and scrambled herself out
She never realised how long she even took in that bathroom and what the reason she even went in there for it must've been long for Applejack to be mad at her and not realise she hadn't gone.
"That's filly is really somethin' else ain't she granny?" Said the farmer pony looking to her left
"She sure is" The old green earth pony replied
*************
Luckily for Apple Bloom she didn't get called late by Cheerilee, while she did get gestured for her to take a seat. But unfortunately for her she arrive at school when Miss Cheerilee was learning about how cutie marks make you special and what's was so bad about that? Well...
"Oh Miss Cheerilee" Diamond Tiara asked in a sing-song voice
"Yes Diamond Tiara?" Miss Cheerilee replied
"What happens if you DON'T have a cutie mark does that make you not special?" Diamond Tiara answered, while glaring at the CMC in particularly knowing they haven't gotten their cutie marks yet.
"No of course not! Not having a cutie mark is perfectly fine! anypony else have a question?" Miss Cheerilee smiled as she continued with her lesson.
Apple Bloom looked over to her friend Scootaloo she was clearly and visibly annoyed with Diamond Tiara and looked as if she was about to say something but decided against it, to her right was her unicorn best friend Sweetie Belle, who seemed just as annoyed as her and Scootaloo.
After what felt like forever even if Apple Bloom had been their for more than 10 minutes the bell finally rang
"Finally!" Scootaloo muttered as she got up from her seat
"Make sure to read page 113 from today's lesson and research about what's makes a cutie mark special!" Miss Cheerilee shouted as she waved goodbye to her class.
"That felt like an eternity!" Sweetie Belle squealed in relief, stepping out of the classroom onto the playground.
"I know right also why did you take so long Apple Bloom we were meant to plan!" Scootaloo asked
"Well uh it's a long story" Laughed Apple Bloom nervously
"Well did you at least bring the kni--" Scootaloo said before Apple Bloom put a Hoof over Scootaloo's mouth.
"Now hush Scoots ah know yer excited an' all but we gotta keep low about this, we can't let anypony find out ya hear me?" Apple Bloom whispered in a serious tone while giving her a death stare
Scootaloo nodded silently, she forgot how scary Apple Bloom could be sometimes. Sweetie Belle quickly decided to change the subject.
"So girls are you still going to my place tomorrow, Rarity is allowing you guys to stay as long as we don't destroy her house like last time!" Sweetie Belle asked happily
"Of course!" Apple Bloom responded
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" laughed Scootaloo
They did their iconic hoof five they always do while smiling with joy, they were with joy until somepony just had to ruin their day...
Diamond Tiara.
"Well well well look who it is? The blank flanks!" She said menacingly
"Leave us alone Diamond!" Apple Bloom shouted
"Yeah we don't need you to ruin our day again!" Added Scootaloo
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just stood there, looked at eachother and started to laugh at them
"S- Silver Spoon look at them trying to defend themselves" Diamond Tiara laughed
"I know right!" Silver Spoon replied
"Listen blank flanks you need to stop trying cause you'll never be able to get you're cutie marks so just face it" The pink Earth pony said
"Yeah face it!"
"Shut up Silver Spoon! I talk you listen got it?!" Diamond Tiara shouted
Silver Spoon kept her mouth shut
"It's been fun but I don't wanna be seen hanging around you freaks! Toodles" She shouted
"BLANK FLANKS!!" She and Silver Spoon said in unison as they walked away laughing.
Diamond Tiara left while Silver Spoon following behind shortly.
"Ugh I hate them so much!" Shouted Sweetie Belle
"Don't worry Sweetie we'll get them for it after school..." Scootaloo muttered
Sweetie Belle looked at Scootaloo with a worried expression, she knew Diamond was annoying and rude but was killing her a solution to their problems and to get their cutie marks?
"Somethin' wrong Sweetie Belle?" Apple Bloom asked
"Huh what no no I'm fine!" Sweetie Belle reassured her best friend
"Ok then" Apple Bloom replied
The rest of the day went as normal, boring but they were okay with it due to one thing. Now it was the end of the day which meant
Their first killing had began they had been practicing and preparing since yesterday heck they even tried using one of the trees in Sweet Apple Acres which was supervised by Big Mac of course, he was unsure why they were bucking trees to get a cutie mark well he understood Apple Bloom but not the other two though since Applejack had to spend time with the mane six, Big Mac had no other choice but too
"Remember the plan y'all?" Apple Bloom asked sharing a glance at her two best friends as they started to walk across the pavement
"Yeah of course I do I'm so excited!!" Scootaloo squealed happily as if she was talking about her Idol Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah I remember..." Sweetie Belle replied quietly
"Good so guys ah wasn't sure what kinda knife ya wanted so ah got the sharpest one ah have" Apple Bloom smiled before the trio huddle around as she showed the knife hovering her hoof over the tip of the knife, being carefully not to hit one of her friends.
"Woah that's awesome! This is gonna be really messy" Scootaloo laughed while Apple Bloom tucked the knife back into her bag.
"Darn right it is!" Apple Bloom answered
The trio came to a hult as they noticed Diamond Tiara, Scootaloo smiled and grabbed her and put a hoof of her mouth as she and the others entered the alleyway
"Girls quick hold her down!" Scootaloo shouted
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went by her friends side and holded Diamond Tiara to the ground well mostly Apple Bloom while Sweetie Belle hesitated as Diamond Tiara let out a muffled scream
"Ugh l- let me go blank flanks this isn't funny!" Diamond Tiara shouted
"Will ya shut the hay up! An' will ya help he Sweetie Belle?!" Apple Bloom shouted as she hit the rich earth pony
"Okay sorry!" Sweetie Belle replied having a firm grip on Diamond Tiara's two back hoofs
Diamond Tiara tried to kick, scream anything that came to her mind she had no idea what was happening and why the weird blank flanks were doing this to her.
Apple Bloom took her knife and threw it over to Scootaloo
"Do yer worst scoots" The young farm filly ginned
Scootaloo laughed and she lunged at Diamond Tiara stabbing her in the stomach, Sweetie Belle watched in horror as blood splashed on her coat and mane, on the other hand Apple Bloom was smiling like a little kid, Diamond Tiara let out a loud and high pitched scream though Scootaloo ignored her as she continuously started stabbing her more and more each time Diamond crying and screaming for help.
"Scoots pass me the knife and hold her!!" Apple Bloom shouted
Scootaloo nodded as she threw it at her, luckily Apple Bloom catched the knife, they had to do this fast, quick and get out before anypony notices and Apple Bloom knew this.
"AH SAID SHUT THE HAY UP!" Apple Bloom shouted loudly, sure shouting loudly wasn't the best idea for nopony to hear, but she wanted to get her anger out on Diamond before she was dead.
Without hesitation she stabbed Diamond Tiara in her head. Diamond's eyes started to loose colour, her coat turning white and pale just as Sweetie Belles coat, her light blue diamond eyes rolled back to her skull while the red blood gushed out, They never knew how a pony could bleed so much.
Apple Bloom huffed, Scootaloo stood in shock but smiling but Sweetie Belle had this knot in her stomach she was unsure if it was the blood, the killing, or both, she shook the strange feeling off as she and Apple Bloom stood up. Sweetie Belle remaining quiet as she listened to her friends talk
"Wow Bloom..." Scootaloo said surprised.
She never knew her best friend could do something like that, even though Apple Bloom lived on a farm she thought Apple Bloom only did the small stuff like carrying apples how the hay did she stab somepony in one shot? Miss Cheerilee told her that the heart is the worst place to go for when hurting a pony when they were learning about body parts
"Ah know ah know shocking hm?" Apple Bloom replied while smirking
"Well did anythin' happen did ah get my cutie mark?" Apple Bloom asked excitedly spinning around
"Nope" Scootaloo sighed
"Awh horseapples! neither did you.." Apple Bloom replied
"So should we just hide the body in that dumpster?" Scootaloo asked
"Yeah we can't leave her they might notice cause it got real bloody" Apple Bloom answered looking down at the now dead body of Diamond Tiara.
"Don't worry I got the supplies for that" Scootaloo said
"Thank Celestia! Wow that tired me out what about you Sweetie Belle? You've been awfully quiet back there" Apple Bloom wondered
The Pegasus and Earth pony looked at their other best friend, Sweetue Belle stared at the dead body in shock
"I- uhm.. yeah it did." Sweetie Belle said her voice stone cold
"Sweetie y'know you can talk to us if somethin is bothering ya we know this is new but everything is gonna be alright ah promise do ya trust me?" Apple Bloom said
"Yeah I know we just killed somepony we hate but it's Diamond Tiara and she deserved it and on the bright side she won't bother us anymore" Scootaloo added
"Awh thanks girls!" Sweetie Belle said forcing a fake smile
In reality Sweetie was horrified she watched as Apple Bloom and Scootaloo started to clean their mess up and put Diamond in a nearby dumpster, how could they possibly be okay when they literally just killed somepony!
And the fact is they look so chilled about it like nothing happened Apple Bloom was expression less while Scootaloo was smiling at the so called "art of blood" they had made.
"But Sweetie ah know this is new an' all but ya gotta help me here were in this together remember?" Apple Bloom said her voice now soft and in a calm tone.
Sweetie Belle simply nodded smiling at her farm pony friend
"You girls ready to go back to the clubhouse now?" Asked Apple Bloom rubbing the last speck of blood on her cheek.
"Heck yeah!" Scootaloo said fluttering her wings
"Oh I'm so sorry but I can't come, I have to go back to Rarity because she said that I can't go out late because what happened the last time we tried to crusade.." Sweetie Belle lied trying to make it as believeable as possible
She hated lying to her friends but felt that it was for the best she needed time alone. To think about what just happened, she has a million thoughts running throughout her head, she was scared she tried to shake of that feeling but it wasn't working no matter how hard she tried, so in result she had to lie.
"Awh why does Rarity have to be so over protective you didn't even get hurt that bad it was just rollerskating!" Scootaloo cried in annoyance
"Scoots ya know why! She just wants Sweetie to be safe an' all" Apple Bloom replied
"I know but still it's getting annoying" Scootaloo said while rolling her eyes
Apple Bloom ignored her friends comments and turned her attention to Sweetie Belle
"It's alright Sweetie we understand! Ya think you could be able to meet at the clubhouse before school though?"
"I'll try!" Sweetie Belle said trying to remain happy in front of her beloved best friends
"Perfect cya Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom shouted
"Bye!"
**********
Scootaloo and Apple Bloom arrived at the clubhouse the always go to together minus Sweetie Belle of course since she wasn't here
"So who are we killing next?" Scootaloo asked in joy flapping her wings remembering the excitement she felt when killing Diamond tiara
"Ah'm not sure but we haveta try harder if we need our cutie marks cause ah guess Diamond Tiara wasn't enough since it's our first" Apple Bloom responded
"Yeah definitely but who our she was our main target unless we get Silver Spoon--" Scootaloo said before getting interrupted
"Hay no! Haven't ya seen Silver Spoon?! she follows Diamond Tiara like a dog so she'll be a main suspect if they think it's her then we're all good they might come to us cause we're her classmates but if we stick to our story we'll be fine!"
"And without Diamond around Silver Spoon will be so sad that she could move school!" Scootaloo added
"Exactly! we can figure out who next tomorrow when Sweetie Belle is here it'll be better that way"
"Wow you've thought this through more than I have Apple Bloom" Laughed Scootaloo
"Trust me ah learned from Applejack and from reading those Daring do books you and Rainbow Dash love, to be honest it's not that bad than ah thought it would've been" Apple Bloom replied
"See I knew you liked it!" Shouted Scootaloo jokingly
"Oh shut up ah said it's not THAT bad" Apple Bloom rolled her eyes
"Same thing!" Shouted Scootaloo
Meanwhile with Sweetie Belle:
Sweetie Belle opened the front door and closed it shut, she noticed how Rarity was sitting down making dress designs as she looked up from her seat
"Hi Sweetie Belle! How was crusading?" Rarity asked giving her little sister a small smile
"It was fine." Sweetie Belle replied
"Well what did you guys do this time? Did you tried bungee jumping?" Rarity asked noticing Sweetie's unusual non happy tone
Normally Sweetie Belle would be eccentric and eager to tell Rarity about everything she'd done with the crusaders, in Rarity's free time of course, she always wondered if sometime Sweetie Belle felt left out or sad that Rarity is sometimes to busy to listen.
In truth Rarity loved hearing about Sweetie's young crazy adventures and found it amusing even though it can get annoying sometimes, while feeling if what they do is a bit to dangerous for Rarity's liking, she didn't care as long as it made Sweetie Belle happy.
"We already tried that" Sweetie Belle said not bothering to hide the fact that she wasn't happy
Rarity's got up from her seat and went over to a sad and gloomy looking Sweetie Belle
"Sweetie darling I know I'm not one of the persay..." Rarity paused for a moment before continuing. "-best siblings in the whole of Equestria, but I can easily tell when you're upset. What's bothering you is there something on your mind that you would like to tell me?" Rarity asked not wanting to put any pressure on the young filly even though it worried her and she couldn't help herself
"Nothing's wrong Rarity I'm fine..." Sweetie Belle replied
"Are you sure Sweetie you don't look fine.." Rarity asked again
"Did you and one of you're friends get into a fight? If they did I will have a chat with Rainbow Dash and Applejack for them hurting you like this I--"
"RARITY I SAID IM FINE WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME THE BUCK ALONE!" Sweetie Belle screamed before she covered her mouth in shock at what she just said
She had never screamed at her own sister like that before, let alone sweared at her, tears filled the little filly's eyes as she ran upstairs, shutting her bedroom door loudly behind her.
"Oh Sweetie Belle..." Rarity managed to say trying her best not to cry as it was "unlady like" of her to do so, she looked back to her work space then to the stairs Sweetie had stormed her way up on, Rarity sighed heavily as she walked to her bedroom
