Antiblue P.O.V.
.
In the next two years, some many things happened and so many changes had affected Equestria.
.
Nighmare Moon returned from the exile to exact revenge against Celestia and bring the Eternal Night on Equestria.
.
In that moment a group of six mares leaded by Twilight Sparkle managed to awake the Six Elements of Harmony, defeated Nightmare Moon, thus resulting Princess Luna being purified and finally reunited with Celestia after a milennia.
.
That larvender unicorn i saw back in the Canterlot's Castle managed to awake the Elements of Harmony and purify Luna at last thanks to the help of her friends. Yeah, that result would look like candies and cherries, but from that moment they will have a hell of responsibilities as the bearers.
.
In fact, after this event, these mares became the bearers of the Six Elements of Harmony. Twilight Sparkle in particular started her friendship studies in Ponyville, in order to learn some friendship lessons and improve both herself and her bond with her friends as well.
.
Some months later, Discord managed to get free from his imprisonment.
.
His chaotic powers were a serious issue even for me. In these days in which he was getting the upper hand on Celestia due to her being unable to use the Elements of Harmony has resulted my cell being filled with molten cream pie. Is not edible since is generated with magic, but it was still sticky and irritating for me. The guard outside my cell got even worst. He was ovveran by gingerbread spiders. And he is arachnophobe, independently from the substance.
.
I didn't even laugh for it. I felt sorry for that guy since the scene was disturbing in it's own way for me despite that not being as violent as my past fights.
.
Discord himself has given the six heroines a hard time since he gone so far to corrupt them to make them go against their elements, but his plan eventually crumbled due to Twilight's perseverance and they eventually managed to defeat him and turn him into stone again.
.
So much celebration and praise for their remarkable deeds, especially if with their friendship they can overcome every difficulty.
.
Except for me. Don't get me wrong, i'm have nothing against them. Is just that who i don't want have anything to do with their world.
.
As she was watching a crow of ponies coming out of the Canterlot's theater after the Heath's Warming Eve spectacle from the barred window of her prison cell, Antiblue scanned every part of the street nearby it. The six mares left the theater some minutes later.
.
Antiblue respected their efforts and their good intentions, but deep inside she prefered to take the distance from their ideals.
.
For the violet mare, the Six Elements of Harmony were just overrated ponies with a miraculous gift bestowed on them. Not because of their luck to possess the elements, but because the other ponies forgot one thing: Even them can be flawed sometimes.
.
Their own perseverance and naivety were just a nuisance that was almost giving her a headache. And that wasn't their fault at all for that.
.
As opposite to their hopeful and humble way to move on in their life, Antiblue's is a very grim one. Her inner world was a very burnt and bloodstained one. Her parent's burning death had per se changed and influenced her life during the start of her adulthood, but nopony, not even Cobalt Will, has found anything that could explain her rejection toward friendship. What has it to do with it remained currently unknown.
.
But in that moment, just for once, she was thinking about vengeance... but about inability to achieve a real tranquil life. After the horrible things that she has gone through, she couldn't possibly find herself weakened and unprepared. But the real question was: can i still call it a tranquil life despite my own flaws?
.
Antiblue shrugged off those thoughts as she goes on her bed, blessing the silence that followed after all the ponies came out from the theater and returned to their home.
.
"Finally, this pain in the ass is over." said quietly Antiblue.
.
"Shut it! I heard you!" said a earth pony guard outside her door. "You don't even deserve to witness this spectacle! You should learn from your mistakes, you scum!"
.
"Tch."
.
Antiblue laid on her bed and tried to close her eyes.
.
The violet mare doesn't want to hear anything about the six heroines, at least for this night since they weren't a big deal for her.
.
But for somepony like Necro Meele, who observed the rise of the Six Elements of Harmony from the darkness, that was a great opportunity to finally take her plan in motion.
.
That horrid and crude act was about begin with Necro Meele making his first move, starting by track down a family that she knows very well.
.
After the dusk, a surreal atmosphere surrounded the ponies inside a house in the middle of the Everfree Forest. The Cleverhooves family continued to live their life with their resurrected second-born as nothing happened.
.
They were having dinner, and were apparently enjoying having a decent conversation. Especially Arborea, who had in part resumed her daily life despite being confined in her house because of her literal cadaverous appearance.
.
But they knew that their life wasn't the same as before since Arborea's gruesome resurrection and their encounter with the orange mare responsible for this.
.
They were internally conflicted. The resurrection was a taboo that they couldn't afford to support. But they cannot kill Arborea either.
.
The only solution was to keep Arborea with them until they wouldn't find any way to take her in the afterlife without being forced to kill her with their own hooves or having her being hurt by other ponies. Arborea tried once to commit suicide, but immidiately given up because she doesn't want see her parents and her brother suffering.
.
They tried to not think about that too much and continued their appearently serene dinner. But that will not be that easy.
.
"I wonder how my friends are in this moment." said Arborea before realizing to have thought aloud. "I'm sorry. Is just... nostalgia."
.
"You don't have to. Is natural in moments like this." said Silkveil.
.
"Mother." said Arborea. "If something is-"
.
"No." interrupted Salva. "It's ok. You are not bothering me in any way. I still love you. You have my word. It's good to have you with us."
.
Salvia tried to comfort Arborea, but that wasn't easy for the undead filly either.
.
In a attempt to distract them for a moment, Quartzgrain interrupted their conversation.
.
"Father, how was your business trip at Canterlot?" said Quartzgrain.
.
"W-well, my son." said Silkveil. "I was called by Celestia to discuss about the work that my ancestor, Malthus, started with her and it's progress. For the rest, i drank some tea with her while talking about the return of her sister. Ah, i also met her for the first time."
.
"...Ehm."
.
"I know you tried to distract us from our worries. Besides, i didn't told Celestia about our situation with Arborea."
Arborea lowered her head with a sad, discouraged look in her face, completely devoid of any emotive vitality.
.
"So i'm still-"
.
"Don't say that. You are not a problem." said Silkveil interrupting Arborea. "I promised. I will find a solution."
.
"I know. Is just that..."
.
"It's not easy to live with a secret like this for any of us. But trust me on one thing. It's not your fault. It's nopony's fault."
.
Quartzgrain brusquely rose from the table, unable to contain his anger and started to yell.
.
"Nopony's fault!? I know who's fault is! That demented orange mare is the responsible for this complication! First we have a dragon who "accidentally" set my sister on fire, and then she resurrected her in this decaying form and had even the guts to show up! Of course it's not Arborea's fault, but this mare's for not have any consideration of her feelings!"
.
"Quartzgrain. You better calm down." said Silkveil.
.
"I'm sorry but... No. Look, i apologize for that outburst. I know that you won't allow any reckless action but... I couldn't forgive that mare!" said Quartzgrain, calming himself down a little bit "I don't even know of to take that anymore."
.
"You hatred will bring only regrets. I know what happened, but you don't have to act this drastic."
They were then suddenly interrupted by somepony knocking at the door. The entire family forgot for a moment what are they talking about and tried to understand who could possibily be. Infact nopony but Celestia could possibily know where they live.
.
A terribly familiar voice started to talk.
.
"Good evening. I thought that could be a very good opportunity to pay a visit to you." Said Necro Meele.
.
They were legitimately shocked to hear her voice, including Quartzgrain, who was also surprised and disturbed by this.
.
"We are in the middle of the Everfree Forest! How the hell did this scumbag get here!?" yelled mentally Quartzgrain before running into the kitchen and grabbing a very sharp knife.
.
He was rushing toward the entrance door only to be stopped and held back by both Salva and Silkveil. All of this was happening under the gaze of a very scared Arborea.
.
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE!" screamed Quartzgrain in rage. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
.
"QUARTZGRAIN, STOP! I FORBID YOU!" yelled Silkveil.
.
"No, no, no. I'm only here just to give something interesting to you." said a very tranquil Necro Meele. "If you let me open the door, i will show what is it."
.
The family members doesn't even know of to behave in that moment. Quartzgrain in particular was trying to figure out the reason of her calm and what she has in store.
.
Silkveil Cleverhooves has a worst sensorial promonition. Something unsettling was going to happen.
.
Necro Meele layed something in front of the door and opened it while hiding behind a wall.
.
The Cleverhooves were wrapped by fright and disgust upon seeing a decaying cockatrice with emptied eyesockets and metal plates covering it's body except for it's head, standing in front of them.
.
Before they could do or say anything, the rotten cockatrice opened it's mouth, revealing what seemed to be a confetti sized object coming out of it.
.
"This is a very particular surprise that you really deserve." said Necro Meele. "Oh, Arborea. Regarding about you desire to help your family and your very life..."
.
"What are you...?" asked confused Arborea.
.
"I don't care anymore." said Necro Meele before pressing a button on a remote that she was holding in her hoof.
.
"Penitence Missile!"
.
The cockatrice shooted the object from it's mouth at them, resulting it to burst in a massive explosion that destroyed their bodies and their house after the impact, leaving only their burned and scattered pieces of their bodies, some of their blood and a huge pyre in it's radius
.
Necro Meele was caught in the explosion as well, and yet she was lucky that she was only sent to fly toward some bushes and crushed into them.
.
Stunned by the fall, she slowly stood up with a pain in both her head and her stomach and realized that a little portion of her mane was on fire.
.
She extinguished the flames by putting her mane inside a river near to her and tried to catch her breath.
.
"Wow... That blast was strong. Explosive are really though to use. No wonder why only only specialized ponies and minotaurs in particular can have a qualification to handle them."
.
Necro Melee then smiled at the esquisite prospective that her next move was going to show to her. She couldn't even describe that. Not until she made that part into reality.
"Still... it's a important time. I can look to focus the other pieces of my plan. This incident should lure out somepony who is really powerful. I have already the idea about who i should kill and alter first."
.
A Group of Royal Guards gathered around the giant pyre that was engulfing the house of the Cleverhooves.
.
As they were investigating the cause of this disaster, Celestia and Luna arrived on the scene.
.
"Your Majesty! You can see for yourself what is going on. I don't know how, but somepony of something blow up the entire house. And the entire family with it!" said one of the guards.
.
Celestia remained horrified at the tragic scenario in front of her. She could feel her heart being shaken for the death of her good friend, Silkveil Cleverhooves, and his family.
.
"W-who could have committed this atrocity? They don't deserve this." said a mortified Celestia.
.
"I'm sorry if i asked you, but who are the victims?" asked Luna.
.
"Silkveil Cleever hooves, a good friend of mine and descendat of Malthus Cleverhooves. He was working with me to deal with the problem regarding the continuous rise of the population and the possible food shortage. But that wasn't the only thing. Silkveil was also an art lover. He has also a family... How could this happen?"
.
"Princess Celestia!" exclaimed a guard.
.
"?"
.
"We have found the burnt remains of Silkveil and his family. There's also this letter."
.
"What letter?"
.
"Just look at it." The guard then gives the letter to Celestia.
.
Celestia started to read the letter while holding it with her magic. She became worried and scared after she finished reading it.
"Dear Princess Celestia.
Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle was looking for you in the castle. At her arrive,
i exploited her distraction to imcapacitate her and keep her as my insurance.
I will drain her magic and make her unable to use the Elements of Harmony permanently, and,
to make sure that no friendship mcguffin could pulled off, i will kill her.
If you come here, maybe we can discuss about her liberation so i won't be forced to kill her.
Don't bring Princess Luna, your guards or any of her friends with you. I'll be waiting for you
in the throne room. You better come alone. Otherwise i cannot promise that she will be fine.
In order words: Try to cheat and Twilight will die. End of story. Only you. Nothing else.
Anonymous."
The Princess started to trembling for the rage building up inside her really fast. She was mentally swearing to unleash it by any moment. Her face became a angered and grim one as time passes. In the past she has dealt with many kind of evil and injustice she has ever saw in her entire existence, from Tirek to Chrysalis. But committing a atrocity and threaten the life of her faithful student was something that she cannot forgive. Especially since Twilight Sparkle was missing for three days in a row.
.
"Sister." said Celestia.
.
"Yes?" asked Luna.
.
"Take my place until my return."
.
"Wait! What are-"
.
Luna couldn't finish that Celestia already flared her horn and teleported away toward her destination.
.
Celestia manifested herself in Canterlot's castles, in front the entrance of the throne room. She immediately stumbles into something unusual. It was all dark and the Royal Guards that were supposed to guard the doors weren't present at all.
.
But that wasn't the only problem. She could feel the presence of a magic seal. Something happened in the entire castle. There too much silence here.
.
Celestia couldn't hyde both her worries about Twilight and her anger toward her captor. What she cannot understand the reason for the kidnapper to inviter her to her own castle.
.
The Princess shrugged off those questions since they can wait. She opened the doors and entered into the throne room.
.
In front of her was none other than Twilight Sparkle. She was relieved to have found her, but her captor wasn't there. She seemed to be safe, yet something seemed off. Twilight wasn't the mare who could lie, especially since the caligraphy of the letter wasn't her own.
.
Twilight wasn't even looking at her as she hasn't noticed her presence. Celestia tried to call her out.
.
"Twilight! Are you ok!?"
.
Twilight doesn't respond and doesn't even move. Celestia then dashed toward her pupil with a worried expression.
.
She approached the figure and tried to talk to her.
.
"Why don't you respond to me? It's me. Twilight, say something." said a worried Celestia as she patted her head.
.
But in that moment she realized something was wrong with her body as Twilight's head detached from her neck and fell to the ground, scattering into pieces.
.
Celestia was slighyly shocked and confused by that chilling scene. For one second she could swear to had seen her pupil dying for a second. But she then realized that thing wasn't Twilight Sparkle, but a wax statue perfectly resembling her.
.
"This is not Twilight. What kind of travesty-"
.
Celestia she did not have time to finish her sentence that she saw something came out from the throne room's entrance, flying toward her.
.
A very explosive sound and a agonizing scream filled the castle's halls.
.
What transpired in that night remained unknown.
The only thing known was that Celestia was found laying almost to the floor. According to her, she thought to have found Twilight Sparkle in the throne room, but what she found was a wax maniquine instead. She was then overhelmed by a huge explosion caused by a magical item used by the kidnapper, as he was intentioned to attack her before his escape. Apparently the explosion broke some of the stained glass windows of the throne room. She couldn't even see who this kidnapper was and know where Twilight was.
.
After that, Celestia ordered her guards to search for her apprentice.
.
The real Twilight Sparkle was eventually found three days later by the Royal Guards inside a basement of a abandoned house. She couldn't even tell who is captor was or even what happened during her kidnapping.
.
Until now, nopony knows what was his real reason to kidnap Celestia's protegè and luring her teacher into the throne room just to attack her and ran away. It looked like a real waste of time.
.
Why kidnap Twilight? And why deliver the letter to Celestia right after the flaming atrocity has been consumed.
.
That plan makes no sense and made most of the public go nuts about it.
.
Despite this everything seems to be returned to normal... Until a series of crude deaths kicked in.
.
As the days follows, the inhabitants of Ponyville and others started to disappear without leaving any trace.
.
Nopony knew that the fate of the missing ponies very gruesome one. Pinkie Pie, under the infamous name of Pinkemeana, was behind their disappearances. Not only she kidnapped her victims, but she has also tortured and killed them in the most horrendous and agonizing way immaginable while treating their death as "parties". The same fate happened to both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Dashie in particular died in the very horrible death of all.
.
Applejack and Machintosh were the ones who saw the basement, Rainbow Dash's corpse and Pinkie Pie in her own horrifying look, wearing a necklace of unicorn horns and that infamous dress made from pony flesh, emblazoned with cutie marks, with six pegasus fluttering from it's back.
.
Machintosh had quickly blocked Pinkie Pie and made sure that she wouldn't escape. Applejack was really traumatized at that point. After that she was putted under sedatives in order to calm down. This according to some witnessess.
.
Twilight Sparkle was as devastated as Applejack and because she cannot cope with what happened, Celestia decide to move her back to Canterlot in the next day.
.
Pinkie was arrested for her crime and putted inside a prison for mentally unstable individuals were Doctor Hooves acted as her doctor. But that wasn't a problem for her. In fact she still acted cheerfully, cute and casual as ever, even after she committed these heinous acts.
.
Rainbow Dash's body was retrieved without being sent to the morgue without specify the reason to do so, and Fluttershy was nowhere to be found.
.
What followed in the wake of Pinkie's killing spree was the beginning of the investigations conducted by two pegasi Royal Guards: Wedge and Biggs.
.
They came to know by Pinkie herself that she selected her victims to kill was based on a lottery, which was rigged by somepony, much to her anger. Suspecting Fluttershy being behind this, they looked for her only to find out that she died before Rainbow Dash's cruel death.
.
The then went inside Rarity's boutique to interrogate Applejack since she came to meet her before Wedge and Biggs arrived in place.
.
The two guards were then trapped inside of the boutique by Rarity. They discovered that Rarity rigged the lottery and piloted Pinkie Pie's killing spree.
.
They fought Rarity, who tried to kill them in order to silence them. Only Wedge survived the encounter and found the evidence that he was looking for during his investigation.
.
The dress. Pinkie Pie's flesh made dress. There are indeed Cutey Marks depicted in the patches.
.
But among them there was dark blue patch depicting a crescent moon. It was that Cutey Mark.
.
Princess Luna's Cutey Mark... How is that possible?
.
Wedge came to know in horror that her superior was somehow connected to this convoluted story. However he suddenly loose consciousness because of the delayed effect of a drug and disappeared from the face of Equestria. Never to saw again... Apparently.
.
Everything in this story seemed to be a very sick tragedy. But nopony could suspect something happening without them even realizing.
.
Between the killing spree and Wedge's investigation there are factors that were piloted from behind the scenes by Necro Meele.
.
Strange and bizarre zombie like creatures resembling ponies started to act in the shadows, obeying to the Necro-alchemist's orders and killing more ponies as Pinkie's madness alone wasn't enough.
.
The Enhanced Wraiths secretelly began to rise in numbers in the same moment their victim died by their own hooves... or implanted body part or weapon if somepony could say that. Their ranks increased day after day.
.
Their hidden army continued to grow even after the events of Wedge's disappearance.
.
Necro-Meele secret rise has just began unpunished.
.
But then multiple problems were popping up as something unusual happened. Something that shouldn't even happen since the Enhanced Wraiths created by her were supposed to be loyal to them. One word could describe this.
.
Deception.
.
"Necro Meele! We had a problem!" said a earth pony Enhanced Wraith with bloody spikes protunding on both his sides.
.
"What is it?" said Necro Meele.
.
"The Tysiphone Unit killed all the changeling clones and set their bodies on fire. What's worst is that she destroyed every portals leading to the depopulation center into the moon."
.
"What!?"
.
"I don't know how this can happening. She dissapeared from our sight some days ago, so we couldn't notice her deception. Probably she could have also killed some of our groups. But there is another bad news."
.
"How much worst?"
.
"Somepony managed to wipe most of our security in the treasury sector and stole Princess Luna and Raibow Dash's dead bodied and pieces unnoticed."
.
Necro Meele was shocked at first, then she became more furious as a few seconds passed by.
.
"WHAT!?"
.
At that point, a group of undead ponies under her dependencies were gathering around the spiked pony, knowing what is going on.
.
"I don't think that is gonna end well." said one of them
.
"Be quiet. That is not-" the spiked Enhanced Wraith was then interrupted by Necro Meele cutting his head with a machete, leaving him a little time to scream before dying. She then proccedes to do the same to the other ones, all with extreme intolerance in failures.
.
"YOU IDIOTS! DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF HOW MUCH TIME I SPENT TO PREPARE THIS!?" screamed Necro Meele in rage while slashing one Enhanced Wratih after another.
.
"I LOST TWO OF MY UPCOMING ALLIES AND SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECES OF MY PROJECT BECAUSE OF YOUR INCOMPETENCE! MORONS! DIE NOW, MORONS!"
.
Upon finishing her raging carnage, she looked at her minions' corpses frustrated.
.
"Don't even think to remain dead. I will resurrect you again. But this time, you will join the prisons with the other failures... Like you."
.
Necro Meele eventually confronted Azalea Prima about her rebellion due to having her free will intact and tried to kill her, only for Azalea to survive the onslaught and escape.
.
Despite all of this, Necro Meele's plane was proceding as she planned, especially if some of her victims, including Biggs and Wedged themselves, ended up joining her ranks. Nothing was going practically wrong.
.
Until the night in which she pissed off the wrong pony.
.
With the darkness of night intensifying it's own influence, a group of nine Enhanced Wraiths wandered in a portion of the Everfree Forest nearby Ponyville to hunt down their target.
.
None of them had received their Shape Camouflage since the new shortage of it caused by the traitor, so their undead bodies were exposed along with the stiches and some opened wounds.
.
One of the three undead stallions was a beige maned green earth stallion wearing a long gray jacket covering his body and a iron mask wearing his face, and was acting as their leader. He has also iron claws in the place of his hooves and two huge blade on both the sides of his body. Two big opened wounds on both his hind legs were exposing it's bones. Being unsatisfied of his implanted weapons, he decided to carry two machetes on his back.
.
The rest of the corpse ponies of the group were just earth ponies and pegasi which part of their bodies were enhanced or replaced with lethal weapons. Unicorns weren't necessary since they were hunting down just a normal earth pony, according to their point of view.
.
They then decided to stop under the masked pony's order and remain still as they were previously told to wait for somepony. One of them started to whine.
.
"I didn't even wanted to went through this forest! I hated since i was endangered by some animals who were dwelling when i was alive!" said a female pegasus with axes implanted on her hooves.
.
"Shut up! If we are sent there is because the target is right were we must go!" retorted the masked one.
.
"Come to think if is just one earth pony and unicorns weren't needed, then why we are in nine?" said a earth stallion with the body of a metallic manticore.
.
"I think because she is somepony that must be dealt very carefully." said the masked one.
.
"But who is this one?" said a male pegasus with two crossbows attached on both of his sides.
.
"Is a earth mare named Antiblue. But that is a alias. I know her true name, but i actually forgot what it is. In any case, she is somepony that our boss hated with all her passion... for some reason. She is also said to have a unnatural talent at being good at almost everything. Which means that she can be difficult to kill, but that doesn't mean that this one would pose as a legit threat."
.
"Oh, i remember her. But was she supposed to be monitored during her forced volunteering?"
.
"Yes, but something happened before the murder of Rainbow Dash."
.
"What is it?"
.
"Antiblue managed to escape from the authorities and return back to home unnoticed. The cause of this perfect escape? Somepony knocked out the guards just to going then after her. The real reason for it to do so is still unknown."
.
"Are you sure about that?" said another one of them.
.
"Do you think we are only us!? Trust me! We are not just us!"
.
"Who is it?" said a mare of the group.
.
"I think that after her arrival you will stop throwing all these questions at me."
.
Instantly a winged shadow could be seen coming slowly from behind. Upon noticing, they turned toward it and they raised their heads to see the owner who was casting it upon them.
.
A winged figure slowly descended in front of them, passing through the leaf and the tree branches until it landed to the soil.
.
It appeared as a yellow female pegasus with a curved pink mane and her cutey marks depicting three butterflies, being modified corpse as the ones of the group standing in front of her. Her wings were a twisted mix of green nature and living organism, with them being adorned by leafs as her feathers with some arteries and veins pulsing, and green vines protuding from the wing's conjuctures. Her hooves were replaced with dragon claws and her left eye portion of her skull being exposed. Her opened wound exposing her heart was covered with a web of branches inhabited by undead butterflies. Brambles were protunding from both her sides, and her eyes were utter dark red.
.
Her expression was a mix between gentle confidence and tranquil and yet upsetting folly.
.
One of the undead ponies seemed to recognize her. She was seen from the public for a long time. There's no way he could be wrong about her form.
.
"W-what... Fluttershy? Is that you?"
.
"..."
.
"I cannot be-"
.
"How the heck cannot recognize her?" said annoyed the masked pony to his own subordinate. "She is, after all, the bearer of the Element of Kindness. If Necro Meele wanted her dead, there must be a valid reason. So shut up!"
.
The masked stallion returned his attention to the undead enhanced Fluttershy.
.
"I apologize for their behavior. Is that they weren't thinking straight because of both curiosity and nervousness of the job."
.
"Please, you don't need to worry about that." said Fluttershy. "They just need some time to get used to their role. Is the same as the ponies and animals that Necro Meele told me to kill."
.
"Wait... I'm sorry, i know is also our mission but... Aren't you supposed to take care of every living creature?"
.
"You cannot protect them from death forever. Besides, i learned long time ago that killing the living creatures and sparing them the agony of their lives before their resurrection is, after all, the real act of kindness. Every creature deserves the taste of real equality."
.
"I think i started to understand that connection... but what kind of equality?"
.
"When they were alive, as i was before, they were subjected at every injustice possible, such as prejudice, famine, poverty, illness, violence, mortality, fear and pretty much of the negative things. No matter how hard they dealt with, those things won't stop to hurt them. I won't even blame the jerks or the evil ones doing their mean practice. They were victims of themselves as living beings. But death has nothing to do with all of this. Is the perfect equalizer. Once everypony are dead, everypony are equal without any exception. And that is a benevolent factor in our undeath."
.
"You seemed very methodical when you were before."
.
"Necro Meele opened my eyes about that. You should had understood right now that since we are undead creature, we could consider this has a advantage."
.
"?"
.
"If you look at my body, you should realize the circle of life and the it's natural interruption are one and the same, just like me and the nature itself. As for this advantage, we are living while being equal in our dead condition. The real kindness is free the living creatures from their lives and welcoming them back from the death. Necro Melee said that she intended to create a new Harmony replacing the old one. So i have the right to giving it a chance..."
.
Fluttershy then smiled in a very twisted way.
.
"No matter of bloody, horrible or cruel can be this kindness. Is the most nearest thing to love as you can imagine. Though that Angel found that out the hard way."
.
"... You know, this is just getting even freaky." said disturbed the masked one.
.
"Don't waste my time. Seriously, we had gone out of topic. So were is this mare?" said Fluttershy.
.
"Over there." indicated the masked pony.
.
Fluttershy then gestured to the masked pony and other two zombies, a earth pony and a pegasus, to go in the direction indicated by her.
.
The three were trotting toward that path until they reached a perfectly builded small wooden house surrounded by a palisade while hiding in the bushes.
.
"There." said quietly one of them.
.
"We found her." said the masked pony.
.
Outside her wooden house, Antiblue was watering and treating a plant of blue strawberries putted on a shelf nearby a amulet with a red jewel on the center.
.
"You know what?" said Antiblue while still treating the plant. "I don't know if i should continue with that normal life. I didn't intend to escape. But i have something unsettled to resolve, Besides, i should start to make some new crop, but i don't have enough seed. Hopefully i had recentlygained some money during my mineral scavenging."
.
Then a sound of something hitting a part of the palisade made the violet mare turning her head toward it, only for her to find the most improbable guest that she could possibly meet. A persian cat with a necklace full of diamonds and a rose ribbon of the head.
.
Antiblue approached the cat, which reacted mistrusting her at first, but after looking in her eyes, it freezed in a mute fright, not knowing what to do.
.
"You are Opalescence, Rarity's cat. You should be with her, and yet you managed to follow me. What are you doing here?" said Antiblue.
.
*meow*
.
"No, seriously. I don't even know what meow means."
.
The violet mare then walked away from Opalescence and picked up a rake.
.
"You better go. I think a will get some preparation for this crop and then going to bed."
.
Antiblue couldn't not do any of what she said that Opalescence hissed before running away just while three of the Enhanced Wraiths, with two of them being the female pegasus with the axes and the male pegasus with the attached crossbows, started to attack her from behind.
.
Antiblue immediately perceived their presence and turned toward them, already pissed off.
.
"What the hell are you lot!?"
.
The crossbow attached creature shooted two metal arrows at the violet mare while rushing toward her, only for her to dodge them. Before the creature could reach her, she grabbed the amulet from the shelf and threw it at the crossbow undead pony, causing it to disintegrates on his face while exploding in a blazing burst that set him on fire, screaming from both the agony and the inability to see.
.
Antiblue then slammed violently her rake on his head, breaking it and smashing it as the rake splitted, leaving her wielding only a metaphorical wooden pike while the raking part being dug deep into the now fallen male pegasus's bleeding skull.
.
The female pegasus tried a surprise attack from above the violet mare with the axes, but Antiblue istantly turned to her and stabbed the wooden pike in her face before she could do so, piercing her head and possibly her brain.
.
As the pegasus fell to the soil, howling in pain, the third one gestured to the bushes. It was clear he asked his fellow five remaining Enhanced Wraiths of the group to come out. He and the oncoming wave of Enhanced Wraiths goes after Antiblue, who immediately went into her house and closed the door before locking it.
.
The windows of the house were too little to enter in, so the monstrous ponies were banging, slamming their hooves and weapons against the door for multiple times, trying to break through. The door was made of a very thick and endurable metal, but it cannot resist any longer.
.
"What are... those guys?" said Antiblue
.
Antiblue looked into the rectangular peephole, glimpsing at the rest of the Enhanced Wraiths as all of them continued to bang , not even caring to the agonizing hoof axed female pegasus, who is almost still alive despite the wooden pike piercing her brain, laying on the ground prey to cerebral seizures.
.
The violet mare wasn't scared at all of them, but was just surprised of their appearances.
.
"They are still moving... Are they monster!?"
.
As they continued their door banging, some of them started to scream.
.
"GAAAAH!"
.
"OPEN UP!"
.
"OPEN!"
.
Antiblue moved away from the peephole, annoyed and gradually more irritated by this aggressive cacophony.
.
But that was nothing compared to what returned into her memory to bite her back.
.
"Damn bastards... This moment... Their attack reminds me of that time with the shaded monsters i butchered three years after the death of my parents. Just then i think that i can rebuild my life from the ashes and almost move on, there still are some bloodthirsty beasts destroying it again and trying to kill me. I don't even want to be paranoid, but this is a solid fact. Besides, i escaped the volunteering center just because the authorities started to behave in a way that i don't like a bit recently."
.
The third one of the initial trio stopped his banging, wielded a long spear with a fire engulfed tip and he rabidly pushed it through the rectangular peephole, trying to stab her but without even reaching her since she quickly moved far distant from it's range.
.
The undead pony then withdraw the burning spear without even leaving a spark as the banging continued.
.
With that, her temperance goes off for real. Is time for Antiblue to harvest their heads.
.
"Well, you ask for it. Let me demonstrate the aftermath of pissing me off."
.
Antiblue walked into the a closet and opened it. She looked at it's content. Her eyes stared at the object as her gaze became instantly intimidating.
.
Her fury doesn't even start to describe it.
.
In the deep of a quiet night, Celestia was looking at one of the stained glass windows, thinking about the next thing to do regarding the development of her project.
.
The silence was then broken by the sound of one of the doors opening. A hooded white pony entered in the room and closed the door. He approached Celestia and raised his head, looking in her eyes.
.
The pony then took his hood and tossed away, revealing his appearance as a pegasus Enhanced Wraith.
.
His mane was made of white quarts instead of the fur. His legs, his wings and his face has some opened wounds. Lines of blue energy and red energy on his hooves were glowing and flowing separately inside the hole on the flat part. The only thing that hasn't to do very much with is conditions was is cutie mark depicting the scales of justice.
.
Usually, a normal pony would be scared by his appearance, but Celestia doesn't mind that a little. She was welcomed him despite him being a undead pegasus.
.
She seemed too jovial since that pegasus in front of her was somepony she knows very well.
.
"I told you, we'll be seeing a lot of each other." said gently Celestia.
.
"I know. And i should thank you for that. You opened my eyes." said the pegasus.
.
"But there is something that i didn't tell to you. I told you that you will be remade, as you are now. But that wasn't my doing."
.
"I doesn't matter. The only problem is that we have a terrible Shape Camouflage and i didn't received some of that, so my current appeearance is now exposed. I have to wait. Besides, is good that you were waiting for me. But are you sure about my quality?"
.
"Trust me. You will never disappoint me. You are my favorite, Wedge."
.
"But one thing is bothering me. I know that i'm now improved. However Necro Meele is actually-"
.
Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by a earth pony Royal Guard abruptly opening the door and dashing toward Celestia.
.
"Princess Celestia! We have a problem!" said the guard as Celestia looked at him a little bit worried.
.
The Enhanced Wraiths finally stopped thier attempt to break through the door and rested a little. The door resisted to almost everyone of their attack, but is was twisted and deformed by their hoof slamming, and is about to fall.
.
The third one, the undead pony wielding the burning spear gestured to his companions to wait his signal to destroy the door with any means.
.
As they were preparing themselves for the next move, the now undead and alterd Fluttershy and the masked pony arrived nearby the house, watching the development of their hunt from afar.
.
The spear wielder was going to give the signal until he froze, distracted by a very upsetting sound coming from behind the door.
.
A frantic revving sound, coming closer and closer.
.
The third one could feel Antiblue's presence approaching the door, thus he moved back his burning spear and then hastily tried to stab her through the peephole.
.
But that spear couldn't even reach Antiblue as he was brutally met by her giant chainsaw vertically tearing hi apart through the steel door, almost cutting his body in half, making it erupting blood as he screamed a little before being silenced.
.
His savage death, some of his organs' pieces falling out of him and the sound of the chainsaw's tooth clashing on the door's metallic surface were for his undead companions a valid reason to back off away from it.
.
Fluttershy and the masked wraith were baffled and awfully surprised by that development.
.
They know who is their next target and her characteristics, but they weren't expecting this.
.
They weren't expecting this brutal kind of resistance.
.
The chainsaw then withdraw away from the door, still revving and craving for it's next target.
.
Three of the remaining undead ponies slowly approached the corpse of their companion, wielding the still burning spear, looking at him and the rising their gaze on the vertical fissure on the tore steel door.
.
They were looking in the fissure, finding nothing but a small darkness illuminated by the moonlight instead.
.
But after a brief time, they flinched as their glances were met by Antiblue's eye glaring at them, more intimidating than every creature that they ever met before.
.
That was a glare expressing her unnatural tranquil fury. It wasn't the glare of demon and wasn't that of a mythical creature even.
.
That glare was a death mark pointed toward them.
.
Antiblue standed in bipedal position as she heavily kicked the steel door with her hind leg, making it flying and rolling, missing the three undead ponies who ducked frightened by that, but almost hitting Fluttershy and the masked pony as it struck a tree nearby it, almost uprooting it before sliding to the grass.
.
Antiblue then went out of her house and met her aggressors in the most appropriate way possible:
.
Wielding her still revving chainsaw with a legitimate pissed expression.
.
"WHAT TIME DO YOU BASTARDS THINK IT IS?!"
.
In that moment, the violet mare became Antiblue the bloody once more.
