It was a bright day in Equestria, the sun was high in the sky and many ponies were out enjoying the warm weather. Twilight sparkle sat on the grass with her fore hooves crossed over, she was deeply interested in the book that lay before her, she turned the page over and noticed a white Unicorn approaching "Hello Rarity", she greeted warmly as Rarity lay down a picnic blanket and adjusted her summer hat.

"Hello darling", Rarity replied laying down on her back "Isn't it such a wonderful day to be out", she continued admiring the cyan sky and the cool summer breeze. Twilight gave an agreeing grunt as she was suddenly enveloped once again by her book. Rarity then pulled on a pair of shades and began to soak up some glowing rays of light.

Suddenly a blood curdling scream pierced the silence that had fallen on Ponyville. Both ponies sat up and scanned the horizon for any sign of trouble, without hesitation Twilight tossed her book aside and set off at a Gallop closely followed by Rarity. Soon they reached the spot.

There was a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane stood ten meters infront of them. Lying behind her was a crumpled orange pony, surrounded by a pool of expanding viscous red liquid. Their mouths fell open, clenched in her hoof was a clump of yellow mane and her back hooves were stained red.

The orange lump began to stir and Rarity and Twilight saw, as Applejack tipped over, the extent of her wounds. She was still coughing up blood and her face was heavily painted with blood. Her expression was pained and disguised by cuts and bruises that had formed on her cheeks. Her mane also appeared patchy, large amounts of it were detached and strewn around herself.

Her chest was completely torn open with a few snapped ribs poking out, blood bubbled out of the gaping cuts. The worst of her injuries was her left leg which appeared to be broken completely with little tissue and fur holding the wound together, from beneath the bloody mess that was her face a stream of tears were falling into the pool of blood.

Without a moments notice, Fluttershy lifted her right hoof up and brought it down on Applejacks chest. At first there was a compilation of cracks similar to the breaking of wood followed by a squelch as her organs were forced upwards. Applejacks chest completely gave in with an explosion of blood and flesh. Her organs suddenly burst out of her mouth in a stream of blood and intestines and spread out over the top of her mane accompanied by a shower of blood.

All the ponies were suddenly still, Fluttershy lifted her hoof away and seemed to shift her head from side to side assesing the damage she had dealt. There was little left of her once beloved friend.
