"Finally, some decent food!" Rainbow Dash soared from tree to tree, plucking as many apples as possible from the outstretched, welcoming branches. Eventually, Rainbow lightly spread out her wings and glided to the ground, nibbling on the appetizing fruits. After countless hours of no food, the copious amounts of mellow, viscid apples tasted delicious, much to her belly's content. This major apocalypse of Ponyville wasn't allthat bad; it also meant there would be a great surplus of delectable food and lots of massive clouds to herself! She could finally isolate herself from the rest of the world, and relax. There would be no annoying fans, no irritating interruptions to ruin her day...yet, if only her other friends could be there with her...

Applejack began trotting past Katniss and Rainbow Dash, looking back at them with a lighthearted grin. "Hey, ya'll. Let's head over to my family's barn, we can get sum din-" Applejack halted in place, suddenly remembering, with a disappointing pang in her chest, that Edward Cullen had already made gruel out of her dear family members. He had skinned off their cutie marks to make the pie crust on his 'Pony Liver Pie'. The rage building up inside of her could not be contained any longer. "...Ah-..ah hate this!" Applejack kicked a gashed hoof into the soggy, dew-covered grass. "Why wasahthe one who was chosen to do all o' this destruction?" She held her sweaty face in between her muddy front hooves, silently regretting all she had done; destroying innocent lives, such as her own friends' and family's, ruining the town, crushing precious memories. Salty, heavy tears swelled up in her dazzling green eyes, and the pony's eyelids trembled. They were threatening to drop the aqueous material forming in her tear ducts.

Katniss swiveled around to face her teammate. "Because it's fun, AJ. Don't you enjoytaking the lives of others? Doesn't it fuel your soul, empowering yourself to kill even more? It's even better when it's people whom you know, ahaha! Trust me, I would know. This one time, in the arena.. what was it? Oh, the 78th Hunger Games, I think. I-" Katniss was interrupted by a forceful shove on her side from Applejack. Katniss clobbered into a colossal tree, and apples ricocheted off the summit of her head.

"Why, you..you little..." Katniss started, wiping streaks of dirt off her scathed snout and narrowing her slim eyelids. She began glaring at Applejack with a crazed, corybantic look that could kill.

"AH JUST CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I WANT TO GO BACK HOME AND SEE MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS! WHY CAN'T Y'ALL JUST UNDERSTAND?" The blonde-maned pony wailed, disconsolate. She huddled on the ground and shivered in horror, furious at herself.

Katniss had had enoughof this; was Applejack betraying her team already? The cream pony lashed her head around, pulled out her bow and an arrow out of her quiver, and discharged the piked projectile towards the convulsing Applejack. The orange mare gasped in between her crestfallen bawling and blinked; her vision blurred.

"No!" thought Rainbow Dash, determined. She tightened her muscles and hurtled towards Katniss, getting ready for her most powerful attack. Her body began spinning, and she passed the speed of light, flapping her wings rapidly. She didn't even notice the arrow that had lightly penetrated her sturdy neck. Pummeling into Applejack's attacker, using her firm wings, Rainbow knocked Katniss' mighty body strenuously into yet another copious tree.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-...AACK!" Her body came in contact heavily with the hard, bulky tree with a CRRACKKK. Katniss' bones fractured, gashing raw holes throughout her pelt and skin. Blood seeped from her mouth, eyeholes, ears, and gashes. Her internal organs were a mess, it was almost impossible to identify anything other than a glop of organic matter. The cream-colored mare's facial expression was plain shock and agonizing pain. However, Katniss was still not dead. Katniss pulled out her knife from her quiver and hazily began stabbing the dazed Rainbow Dash, screaming "Die! You don't deserve to live! Weakling!"

Rainbow Dash hurriedly came to her senses, shaking her head dizzily for a brief moment. Once she had discovered all of the blood that had spilled on her light blue pelt, she knocked the knife out of Katniss' hooves with a powerful blow to the body.

"Nice try, Catnip," she provoked. Rainbow Dash smeared the blood off her damaged face with her arms, shook out her gristly, patchy mane, then began punching Katniss' organs. Katniss yelped in distress and was forced backwards, but pulled out yet another arrow, stabbing at Rainbow Dash's wide, maroon eyes. They began wrestling over the weapons, and soon were swimming in each other's dark, moist blood. Applejack was crouching low at a safe distance, still too dazed to understand what was happening. Her vision had cleared of blurry tears, and she inhaled sharply, both amazed and horrified. "Stop!" she tried to intervene, but no words dared to extend out of her mouth. Applejack hung her head gravely in both self-condemnation and humiliation, as her untidy, unbrushed mane swept over her perspirating forehead.

"Enough... is... enough!" Rainbow Dash grunted and grabbed what was left of Katniss, soaring upwards into the cloudless, undarkened sky. The rainbow-maned mare thrashed her agile, feathery wings, which had not been harmed as badly as the other parts of her body, in the skirmish with Katniss. The effulgent sun seemed to beam at the two altercating ponies. After reaching a considerable height, Rainbow Dash stopped and focused her flashing maroon eyes at the cream pony, grisly blood and pus dripping from every open wound, cut, gash, and bruise.

"Bye-bye, Catnip." Rainbow then charged for the sickening, blood-stained ground, grasping Katniss' corpse securely underneath her flank. Katniss was now unconscious, but her nearly exposed heart was still clearly beating. The two mares both pelted to the ground, with a painful, cacophonous thud. Katniss' heart imploded, and the blood oozed and splattered all over Rainbow Dash's face and mane. Rainbow Dash, throughout her huffing and heaving, smiled, and felt as though she had accomplished something great. She slowly turned to Applejack, who was curled in fetal position and mumbling something almost inaudible to Rainbow. Oh, no wonder, her ears had been gruesomely shredded off by Katniss' pointed arrows! Rainbow tossed her head back, blood percolating from her body, and laughed maniacally, until she coughed up her gall bladder. The light blue pony exhaustedly collapsed to the rigid, callous earth and fell dead in a pool of her red body fluid.
