The room was shrouded in complete darkness. It smelled of rotten meat and they're were obviously flies around as one landed on Rarity's nose causing her to awaken from her deep slumber. She fluttered her eyes open delicately before she stared around now, muscles tensing as she realizes she is no longer home.

"Wh-what's happening?" She Asked looking around and trotting in circles before bumping into a wall. The wall made clinging noises as a bright light above clinked on sending a shroud of light throughout the room.

When Rarity's eyes adjusted she could see that the wall was made with several blades that dangled from the ceiling up ahead. They were held with chains that all connected towards a mechanism that was dangling right over Fluttershy who has her eyelids , tongue, wings, and ears all hooked to the blades. All the chains were connected to a wire with a lever now.

"R-r-r-rarity?" She whimpered as she couldn't talk very well right now.

"FLUTTERSHY!? Wh-what's happening darling!?" She screamed out after seeing her friend in such a demonic state.

Suddenly there was a sound coming over from a speaker above them of a raspy soft voice.

"Hello Rarity…Fluttershy, I want to play a game. The position you find yourself in right now is one of your own doing, if you choose to believe me. I don't really care if you don't because that's not a factor that will help you."

Fluttershy's eyes watered now as her tears stained the floor and the chains on her face.

"Through your life Rarity, you've let your obsession with beauty overcome your own life. You've tossed your option of living out the window for a shot at greed and pride. Well let's see how beautiful you think this is."

Suddenly a bunch of little animals, birds, turtles, ducks, all the like came hanging from the ceiling by chains, bleeding and dead, one of them being Angel. This itself made Fluttershy let out a screeching whimper noise. The scene made Rarity almost vomit as she gagged.

"Yes, the beauty of nature, relates to you Fluttershy. You helped other lives continue yet for some reason…you fail to get yours off the ground. Now we'll see exactly who deserves their own life more. But to do so a sacrifice might have to be made within sixty seconds or else you'll see even more beauty of the face removed. To get her out Rarity you must choose whether or not to pull the chains connected to the contraption that surrounds Fluttershy. Will you take the risk, the risk of living for more than what is on the outside? Make your choice, live or die."

The voice ended there as a timer on the wall counts down from sixty now.

Fluttershy only let out panicked shrieks as she tried to move but every tug caused the chains to hit a nerve ending. The timer on the wall counting, 55, 54, 53, 52…

Rarity slowly trotted, still in initial shock of the sight of it all, her tears staining her face with leaking mascara. "Ok, j-just don't move darling, uhm…" Her breathing picks up again, looking up at the blades and noticing the barb wire grid. Fluttershy's whimpers dancing in Rarity's head the entire time.

Meanwhile…

Celestia flew past everyone, little droplets of tears flying behind her as Twilight, Applejack, and Apple Bloom ran behind her, following her from skyview.

"What…in…the world…was on that note?" A.J. says panting between words as they trotted as fast as they possible could to keep up with the royal pony, having absolutely no idea where they were headed. They were in the Everfree Forest by then and the sun was beginning to set, their hooves ached, but whatever Celestia was headed to it was obviously of grave importance.

Pretty soon, the scroll she had flew from her haunches and down to the ground smacking Spike right in the face.

"GAH! What the, uh Twilight I think this is why she's so worried." Spike says as he unravels the scroll.

"Read it to us." Twilight says ducking under several branches.

Spike cleared his throat. "Dear Princess Celestia, I want to play a game. I want to play a game?"

Twilight gasped once he said that, remembering back to Sweetie Belle and Pinkie Pie. When the police ponies had found evidence of the murders they found the tapes. That was the beginning of every one of them.

"I want to play a game. For a long time now you've thought of yourself as high and mighty without so much as a second guess. But this whole time you've let your wrongdoings get passed you, covering them up, making them a thing of the past without forgiveness. Well now we'll see if you truly care about those you have abandoned. Your sister, Princess Luna is within my possession within the caves in Everfree Forest, her life will be lost if you do not come save her in time. Make your choice."

Spike gulped as he finished.

"Wrongdoings? What did Princess Celestia do that was so darn wrong?" A.J. asks as pretty soon they stopped at the caves.

"I don't know but I have a really bad feeling about this." Twilight says as Celestia flew straight into the cave.

Back to the game…

Rarity tried to reach her hooves to Fluttershy to pull her chains off herself but it only hurt her. "NnnagH!" She screeched as Rarity pulled back now. "F-fluttershy I have to!" Rarity cried as she tried to pull the chains from her eyelids first, blood dribbling down as she got the first one out but looking at the clock it ticked to 35 seconds. She then realized there was no way she would be able to pull them all out, the blades above her already signaling what would happen in the time allotted if she failed to save her. She looked back at the lever now sighing and streaming black tears and back to Fluttershy, struggling to pull the one out her mouth or the one off her wing but it was just met with Fluttershy's screams and blood spilling out. Rarity punched one of the blades on the walls but it just cut her hoof as she trotted back now and let out a desperate scream as the clock ticked down to 18 seconds, 17, 16, 15…

"I-I'm sorry Fluttershy…but I can't let another person I care about die." She says as she slowly trots over to the lever. Her eyes wincing already as Fluttershy cries in the chains, trying to plead with a mouthful of metal for her not to pull it but it was too late. Rarity pulled the lever down as soon the wall of blades turned over and wrapped around Rarity, encasing her as the blades dug in her skin. The wall suddenly shot up now back into the air as all of Rarity's skin from her face to her back hooves was torn from her body. Blood flooded from her flesh as she fell to the ground twitching and soon ceased any movement leaving a vomiting and crying Fluttershy in the chains that soon detached from her.

Fluttershy's screams echoed throughout the cave now form her room.

"D-did you hear that?" Applebloom asks as she hides behind Applejack.

"That sounded like Fluttershy!" Twilight yells as they go darting down the cave now. It gets darker and darker as they leave the sunlight so Celestia shines her light in the cave noticing a rusted metal door in the rocky walls. They burst through and find the room where Rarity and Fluttershy are being held. Spike immediately gasped seeing what was left of Rarity, tears gliding down his scaly cheeks upon seeing his crush in such a state.

Celestia's teeth gritted, Fluttershy just curled up with a bloody face crying.
