Chapter 51: The Pinion Mare

Dash was pinned to the wall by rusty nails that were nailed in her right and left foreleg and in the center of her hindlegs. Blood dripped down her forehead coming from a cut while her body twitched and jolt. Small sized nails with wire wrapped at the ends were nailed to her chest and wings. The wires were connected to Scootaloo's right hoof while she toyed around with another wire in her mouth. Dash's eyes slowly opened as she glanced around. Her vision was fuzzy due to the amount of blood loss.

"Such a beautiful work of art. Seeing you nailed to the wall like some religious figure, fools bow and worship without seeing the truth behind the victim's pain." Erebos said while praying to the shrine. "Blood, that blood that dripped from those wretched animals was tainted with pain, not relief. But who is to say, that creature wasn't the only one suffering, hmm? Look at you, your friends, that mare you love, what was her name? Umm, Applejack?" He asked rudely.

Dash looked at him slowly and spat saliva and blood at the demon's right cheek. "Fuck you." She muttered.

Erebos sighed disappointingly before wiping the spit away. "Such a disobedient dog you are. Well, if you want to be like a curd, then be the bitchy curd you are." He said motioning Scootaloo to activate the wires. Scootaloo grinned before giggling madly biting hard on the wires. Her wings flared up as electricity sparked out her mouth sending painful shocks to the light cerulean mare's body. Rainbow Dash held in her painful cry of agony, she could not show weakness. She kept her tears on hold, her voice in lock, and her mouth shut.

Erebos sighed, motioning Scootaloo to stop. When she did, the demon of pride looked up at his ex-apprentice. "You were always a stubborn one." He said annoyed. "I always hated that about you, but then again...I was like you." He said.

"Y-y-you piece of shit." Rainbow Dash muttered angrily.

"Suffer, suffer for everything you done to others and yourself." Erebos said floating up to her face, staring her down closely, eye to eye. "Suffer like the bitch you are."

"No..." She looked down shamefully knowing the demon stallion was right. She's seen too much in this world as well as the other to avoid suffering in her lament agony. "I can't."

"You can, you always suffer, but now you aren't. Explain, explain why you are not fucking suffering like the bitch you are. Hmm? Rainbow, hmm?" Erebos asked, floating down. "You deserve punishment!" He yelled causing Scootaloo to activate her Electromancy, shocking the poor mare pinned to the wall. "I will make you break!" He laughed as Dash held in her painful scream.

For twenty minutes, she held in her scream as long as she could before Erebos motioned Scootaloo to stop, allowing Dash to breathe in air. She heaved in and out while slowly shedding a few tears down her eyes. Erebos' grinned once he spotted hot liquid wetting a patch of her fur,, dripping down from between her hind legs. "That's it, let it out." He said.

"I-I am going to break you neck." She breathed out as her eyes were dilated revealing only signs of pain and anger.

"Boy, oh boy, you fit perfectly for Dexilus' contract. But your pride is what surpasses your wrath. Applejack can break, she can break even him and I. Though, if she were to ever turn on her master, their fight would end in mutual destruction." He said chuckling.

"She's slowly getting there, I can see it, I can see her breaking like a stick." Scootaloo said looking at Erebos.

"I know, I want to see you, Dash, the real Dash. The one I allowed under my wing! Show me, Dash! Who the fuck you are! SHOW ME WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE!" He yelled as Scootaloo continued to shock Dash. Tears boiled down her eyes while more urine was released from the painful static shock. The more this continued she was not only going to break, but die. She didn't want to die like this; she didn't want to die while being humiliated. Her stubbornness kept her alive for another twenty minutes, but it was quickly breaking, as was she.

Erebos laughed with Scootaloo, he was enjoying the torture. It aroused his pride, gave him power over her, like a king over a subject. He was not only a king, but a god as he always was. A god over Dash's fate. "Let it all out, piss and cry! Let me see you break! Let me see you break! Let me see you wet the floor with your humiliation. Break, bitch, BREAK!" He laughed as Scootaloo continued to laugh with him.

Dash ceased to hear anymore as her body was being shocked from the volts of hellish pain. She coughed out blood looking down at the ground. 'Rainbow Dash, are you okay?' Scootaloo's young voice was heard in the mare's head. 'Aren't you going to give him what he deserves?'

"I...I can't. He's won."

"And what makes you believe that?"

"He actually broke me, but that's not his goal. He wants to kill me and see me humiliated as I die."

"So you've given up, huh?"

"Yeah...sorry kiddo, I did my best." Rainbow Dash muttered mentally in a sad tone closing her eyes. "I guess...I wasn't put up for this. I never should have endangered you, or signed that damn contract."

"Rainbow Dash?"

"*Sobs* I'm...sorry." She opened her eyes. "I'm sorry...Scootaloo." She muttered.

Scootaloo flinched from her name being pronounced sadly from the tortured victim.

"I forgive you."

Dash's pupils turned red with triangles pulsing in her iris. Erebos gasped and before he realized it, a hoof swung at his right cheek knocking him straight into the shrine destroying it. Scootaloo didn't have time to react when she felt wires wrap around her neck. Dash was behind her, angry and grinning as she pulled the wires back cutting off the air for the soulless shell. Scootaloo struggled to breathe, flailing her hooves around, but Dash had a strong grip and made sure to keep her still from being free.

"You are not Scootaloo; you're monster born from that fucking demon. Well, I had enough this shit. I had enough of this world. I'm done and I'm done for good. I am going to put you down bitch, and then I'm going to hang that fucker over there with these wires and pin him against the wall like the bastard he is." She said before grabbing the sides of her head and twisting it till she heard a snap. Scoot's body went limp as she was let go falling dead to the ground. Dash smirked and turned her head towards Erebos who was caught in an entanglement with the barbed wires.

"You bitch!" Erebos yelled struggling to get free. Dash smirked and walked up to him, dragging the loose wire.

"Shut up, you annoying ass." She said wrapping the wire around his throat before squeezing it causing him to gag for air. "I had enough of you. You should of kill me right there, but instead, your pride got the best of you and look where it got you now. I've had enough of you, and I don't need Magic around to help me end you. You should have taken the road to whatever paradise you gods go to when you pass on but now you are going to die in this empty void...for good." She said tightening the grip before letting it go. Erebos managed to breathe painfully while looking at the mare shocked.

"I trained you to be powerful, who would have known you'd be this powerful to not break." He said grinning madly. Dash ignored him and grabbed another loose wire next to Scootaloo. She looked up and opened her wings. She gave them a few flaps before gaining air. "How?" He asked shocked.

"You did it; you had control, now I have control." She said flying up to a spike aiming down at him. She wrapped it around before making a knot in the center. Dash flew next to the trapped demon and stomped on the ground hard causing a small crater to form beneath the demon.

"You can't kill me, bitch! I'm god in this world!" He yelled as Dash lifted him by the neck dragging his body up and throwing the last of barbed wires cutting him in the process. Dash smirked and held him high.

"Once I let go, you will be a god in your own world. You'll be dead for good, you will have a broken neck twice and this time, there will be no way for you to ever come back to life again. This world you created, it will keep only the dead. How? Because of that dead pony. If that pony never came back to life, you won't ether. Go to whatever hell you have for yourself, you piece of shit." She said dropping him.

"YOU CUNT FACED WHO-UGHAH!" He was cut off when his neck snapped from the tight wire hanging him from the stoned spike. Dash floated down and looked at his body, proud he was erased from her life for good. She glanced at Erebos' apprentice body and closed her eyes.

"You...if you were Scootaloo, or just a manifestation of my sin...rest in my memories, where you belong." She said calmly before looking back seeing the entrance of the cave open. There was a bright light on the other side, awaiting her departure, back to her friends. "I have a mission, I won't fail. I'm going to help Magic, Twilight, and Strife kill Azazel and end this war once and for all." She said walking towards the portal.

'I knew you could do it.' Dash stopped and looked around before turning around, seeing Scootaloo, the real one sitting in front of her smiling brightly. Dash teared up staring at her sister.

"Yeah...I knew it too, because of you." She said reaching her hoof to her. Scootaloo touched it, shocking Dash, but instead of backing away frightened, she moved her other hoof towards the little filly excited. She picked up the orange filly and hugged her tightly. Dash started to sob before breaking down in tears seeing the cherish-able memories of her and Scootaloo flash before her eyes. They soon ended at the time of her death in the rain. "I'm...so happy that you still love me...even after all those terrible things I put myself under, you still love me. Thank you, for everything." She said sobbing.

Scootaloo smiled before nuzzling her neck. "I'm glad...that you didn't break. And even if your options are all dead ends..." A bright light engulfed the room before darkness took its place. "The fight never left you."
