Chapter 9

Their numbers were staggering, but the ponies soon realized that these must have been the lesser demons of hell. Twilight and Rarity fused together to form super saiyan 4 Gogeta and blasted the walrus magi to pieces whilst Applejack was able to crush thousands of demon skulls with one devastating blow from her hammer of Shitfest. The fire spirit that guarded the cage and kept it ablaze was impressed by the ponies' display of bloodlust and felt that they were worthy to wield the contents it protected. Twilight saw that the cage was open and not on fire; she cleared a path through the mounds of corpses and made her way to the cage. She reached inside and pulled out the cello. It had an emerald exterior and the bow was made of eyeballs that were made from the menstrual blood of the late god king, Jar Jar Binks. Twilight felt the sudden urge to lift it up over her head. An overwhelming sense of power flowed through her and seemed to be coming from the cello. What was this divine instrument that they discovered this day? She felt a mixture of fear and a desire to keep the cello and use its powers to fulfill a number of dark (darker than usual) desires that suddenly crawled out of the deepest crevices within her unconscious mind. "What in tarnation is that?" Rarity asked, amazed by its unexplainable allure.

"That, loyal minion, is the cello of Octavia!" said a booming royal Canterlot voice that made bat-like demons flying nearby scream in agony and dive into the blood ocean. The ponies saw that four helicopters circled them. Princess Celestia stood in one of the helicopters and yelled down to them. "Now if you would kindly hoof it over to your beloved princess, you shall be greatly rewarded." Four royal skeleton guards repelled down from a helicopter to retrieve the cello. After Twilight reluctantly hoofed it over, all three ponies felt the sharp stings of darts penetrate their necks. The last thing they heard as their consciousness faded was the booming laughter of Princess Celestia. Prince Bluebloodbath, who was actually the king of Hell, watched the scene unfold through a telescope made of menstrual blood as he sat in a chair in his fortress made of menstrual blood in ninth circle of hell which was inhabited by some of the most wretched beings in existence: Generation 3 ponies. "Bless my soul!" said he "I must inform Luna!" Surprisingly, Celestia and her cronies failed to realize that there had been another traitor in their midst.

Twilight was the first to awaken. As she regained consciousness, she saw that the three were stripped of their armor and were chained to a very large spine (most likely from a mature Ghoaushitstigore) that was protruding upright from the sandy ground. They were in the center of what appeared to be some sort of coliseum and were surrounded by thousands upon thousands of cheering spectators hungry for violence. Upon closer examination, Twilight saw that most of these spectators were Martian zebra orcs, which could really mean only one thing… Twilight gulped. "The royal execution grounds?! But why?" she thought to herself. Celestia enjoyed killing, but sometimes she also enjoyed watching her enemies being torn limb from limb by an assortment of cruel and twisted abominations she kept as pets in an obscenely bloody display that takes place every once in a while in a tremendous coliseum on top of Olympus Mons. Twilight looked around frantically; questions whirled through her mind. Applejack and Rarity woke a few seconds later; they were just as confused as Twilight was. The ponies struggled a bit, but not much. They knew that even if they did manage to break free from the chains, impending doom would swoop down upon them even sooner from the stone platform hovering high above the stadium where Celestia sat and enjoyed the show.
