20 Elements of Insanity - Ch 14 Brutalight Sparkill

The sky was beginning to turn gray. Clouds filled the sky, and not a ray of sunshine was shining. Ponies were coming up missing, and all the ponies of Ponyville were wondering what was going on with the main six. Small creatures were missing, apples weren't being bucked, dresses were being made out of ponies, treats were being made out of ponies and dark rainbows would sometimes appear in the gray sky. 

This left everypony concerned, worried and frightened. Everypony stayed in their houses, believing that it was the safest place to be. Twilight, meanwhile, was still in the cave. She was writing a letter, and when she was finished, she sent it to Celestia by putting it in the mailbox (she couldn't use her magic, so she couldn't magically teleport it to Princess Celestia). 

When Twilight was finished, she realized that she only had five minutes left. She sighed and spoke out loud. She said the same things she wrote in her letter.

"I'm sorry everypony...I've failed you all." Twilight said. "Soon, Equestria will be destroyed. I'm sorry…"  

Twilight shed a few tears before continuing speaking. 

"I hope one day you find a way to forgive me, for I have failed. I couldn't reform my friends, and now, everypony will have to face the consequences. But no matter what happens, friendship will always be magic. I just hope one day, some ponies may be able to stop evil by using their friendship. But for now...all I can say is, goodbye."

She wrote more things, but it was too late. She began to transform. She felt a few jolts of pain in her body, before dark swirls began circling around her. Her eyes began to glow, and she was soon lifted into the air. The cave shook rapidly, while Twilight transformed. She couldn't speak, nor move, for she felt motionless. Darkness began controlling her every thought. Evil began taking her body. She was no longer in control. Twilight was no longer the Element of Magic. Nor was she an innocent and friendly hero that every pony knew her to be.

Rainbrute, Pinkamena, Lil Miss Rarity, Applejerk and Butchershy all met up at the center of Ponyville, where a large statue of Princess Celestia stood. It had recently been built by some nice workers who suggested it. The five ponies were searching for Twilight. 

    "She isn't dead. I saw some pony catch her while she was falling." Rainbrute said.

    "I still can't believe you all tried to kill Twilight." Lil Miss Rarity said.

    "You tried to kill her too!" Butchershy said to Lil Miss Rarity.

    "Oh yeah, I forgot." Lil Miss Rarity said.

    "I still can't believe she lied to me." Applejerk said.

    "Maybe a cupcake might cheer you up, AJ!" Pinkamena said, holding a cupcake with orange icing.

    "No thanks." Applejerk said.

    "It's an alcoholic flavor, made out of somepony who was drunk when I killed him."

    Applejerk snatched the cupcake and scarfed it down. Rainbrute soon spotted some pony in the distance, walking towards them in the fog. She gasped and growled.

    "There she is! Let's get that bitch!" Rainbrute yelled.

    The five ran after the pony, who they assumed to be Twilight. The pony stopped walking, and when she did, the five ponies skidded to a stop in front of her. They all had either enraged or insane looks on their faces. The pony just stood there, with her face staring at the ground. Rainbrute was the first to speak.

    "You have a lot of nerve coming back to us, Twilight." Rainbrute said.

    "..."

    Twilight didn't respond.

    "Well, aren't you going to say something?" Rainbrute said.

    "..."

    "Twilight, darling, you better not be dead." Lil Miss Rarity said.

    "Yeah, I wanna be the one to kill you! No one enters my shed and gets away with it!" Butchershy said.

    "If anypony is killin' her, it aught'a be me. She lied straight to ma face." Applejerk said.

    "Hey no fair, Twilight's number popped up! I'm supposed to bake her into a cupcake!" Pinkamena said.

    They began arguing, while Twilight just stood there. Twilight then looked up at the statue of Princess Celestia. She didn't like that statue. The statue represented Celestia, as she stood high. It showed that she was the ruler of Equestria, and Twilight didn't like that at all. All she wanted at that moment was to see Celestia's statue crumble in pieces, and to imagine her slowly being killed. To see her frightened face. To hear her screams of agony. 

    So, Twilight made her horn glow a dark purple color, and in seconds, the statue exploded into pieces. The five ponies gasped and ceased their arguing. They watched as the pieces of the statue shot in different directions. They then looked at Twilight.

    "Twilight…?" Lil Miss Rarity said.

    "Don't call me that." Twilight's whispered.

    Her voice sounded deep and dark. That's when the five friends realized that they weren't the only ones who transformed into monsters. Soon, the fog cleared up, revealing Twilight. Her coat was a darker shade of purple, as well as her mane and tail. She was still facing the ground, so the five ponies couldn't see her face. Her cutie mark didn't represent magic anymore, but instead, reality. Although her cutie mark looked somewhat the same, it still looked slightly different, for the color was pitch black and looked as if the symbol had melted into liquid darkness or poison. 

The five ponies looked confused and surprised, but then looked at Twilight. Lil Miss Rarity grinned. She was quite satisfied at Twilight's new attitude, and knew that it was no longer necessary to kill her.

"So darling, what may I call you, since I can't call you Twilight anymore?" Lil Miss Rarity asked.

"..."

It was silent for a second, until Twilight lifted her head revealing her face. Both her eyeballs were pitch black, with small empty blood-red eyes. Her unihorn had a hole near the tip, and her mane looked a slight bit messy, ruffled and sharper. The five ponies gasped after seeing her new physical appearance. It was disturbing, they must admit that. 

"My name is Brutalight, Brutalight Sparkill, the Element of Reality." Twilight, or should I say, 'Brutalight' said. "No longer must you address me as Twilight."

"The Element of...Reality?" Rainbrute asked. "But, if our elements didn't change, then how come yours did?"

"...It doesn't matter. All that matters is, that Equestria will be ours." Brutalight said. 

"Really? But why would-"

"Celestia has ruled for far too long. It's time we take control." Brutalight said. "Once we summon demons from hell, with the help of Satania, we can control all existence. Nopony will be capable of stopping us."

"How do you suppose we defeat Celestia?" Lil Miss Rarity asked. "Even if we do somehow summon demons from hell, Celestia is quite powerful."

"...Powerful…" Brutalight whispered.

Brutalight raised her head high, facing the sky, and progressively raised the volume of her insanely dark laugh. She then gasped real loudly, as if she just held her breath after almost being drowned. Then, silence, before Brutalight spoke.  

"If Nightmare Moon could beat Celestia, and we could beat Nightmare Moon, then that makes Celestia a weakling compared to us. In fact, she only saved everypony once by banishing Nightmare Moon to the moon, and she still hadn't officially finished her off! If it wasn't for us, Equestria would've been a hell hole from the start. So, why not make it one and take it in our own hooves?" Brutalight said. "We'll start here in Ponyville. Butchershy keep 'punishing' naughty creatures as well as naughty ponies. Applejerk, keep drinking and smoking, and make sure you punish the liars that dare to lie to us. Lil Miss Rarity, you continue making dresses and paintings of the most beautiful-coated ponies you may find. Pinkamena, keep making cupcakes out of those whose numbers popped up. And Rainbute…"

Rainbrute paid full attention to Brutalight, as she grinned evilly. 

"Keep killing those worthless fillies, and raise the darkest rainbows into the sky.'

Rainbrute grinned and nodded.

"This is how we'll let Ponyville know who's boss. And once you're finished, start taking over the rest of Equestria."

"So, do you want us to kill...everypony?" Butchershy asked.

"Not everypony, just some. After all, who would we rule over if everypony was dead? Only kill the ones who you think should be killed. Let the others prove their worthiness." Brutalight said.

"So, what are you gonna do?" Applejerk asked Brutalight.

Brutalight darkly grinned.

"Some...experiments."

One week later…

    Spike was pacing back and forth at his home. He was worried about Twilight, for she hadn't returned for an entire week. The sky had turned from gray to red, and Spike hadn't left the house all week. One by one, ponies started disappearing. Spike could only fear that the main six were all either dead or...insane. Some ponies were left alive, but some died a horrible death. Spike even witnessed Butchershy slaughtering a cherry-coated pony once, when he looked out his window. He cried so much that he left a puddle on the floor. 

    Suddenly, the front door swung open, allowing the red light from the sky to enter the dark house. Spike gasped and ran towards the front door, hoping, praying that Twilight was okay.

"Twilight!" Spike spoke.

Spike swung his arms around her body. 

"I missed you so much!" Spike said.

"..."

"Twilight?"

Brutalight didn't respond. Spike finally looked up at her, and noticed that her head was facing the ground. Spike could only feel uncomfortable yet worried and concerned. He stared at her, wondering why she wasn't moving. Until she lifted her head, and stretched an insane grin across her face. Spike gasped after seeing what her new physical appearance looked like. This wasn't Twilight anymore.

"Hello, Spike." Brutalight said.

Spike shook his head in fear and disbelief. He backed away from her slowly, not believing what he was seeing. 

"Twilight...no, you, I-I…"

Spike didn't know what to say. Fear, shock, disbelief and sorrow were the only emotions he felt at that moment. Brutalight took a few steps closer. 

"Don't you remember me?" Brutalight asked.

Spike felt tears forming in his eyes, causing Brutalight to run in front of him in a dark flash, before a split second. Spike gasped. Brutalight grinned darkly, yet sympathetically. She lifted his chin, forcing him to look at her face.

"Don't cry, Spike." Brutalight said, "I won't hurt you."

Tears slid down his cheeks.

"What happened to you…?" Spike whispered, mainly to himself.

But Brutalight heard his question clearly. She released his chin and chuckled darkly.

"I'm improved, Spike. I am no longer Twilight Sparkle, but instead, Brutalight Sparkill." 

"B-B-B-Brutalight, Sp-Sparkill?" Spike asked.

Brutalight nodded. 

"So...you helped cause this chaos?" Spike asked, pointing outside. "How could you, Twilight?"

Brutalight stood silently. Spike obviously wasn't giving in to her new form. He wouldn't allow himself to accept Brutalight. He wanted Twilight back, instead of Brutalight. Maybe if he talked some sense into her, she might return to normal.

"How could you do this everypony...to Celestia...to Luna...to Cadence...to your friends...to Ponyville...to Canterlot...to Cloudsdale...to Equestria...to...me?" Spike said. "How could you betray everypony like this?" 

"..."

Brutalight still didn't respond. Her red eyes were focused on Spike, and Spike only. She had a blank expression, but a small frown was still visible. 

"Everypony trusted you...their lives were on your hooves...and you just turned your back on them?"

"..."

"How could you Twilight?"

"..."

Spike couldn't help but feel extremely emotional. Brutalight eventually, after staring at him for quite a while, pulled him into a hug. 

"Spike, I love you." Brutalight said. "I always have, I always will. Soon, we will live in a great castle, where everypony will respect and bow down to their new rulers. The useful ones will remain alive, and will serve us, while the useless ones will die!" 

Spike gasped after hearing the word 'die.' Celestia forbids those kinds of words, including cuss/curse words. 

"But why? What did they ever do to deserve this?"

"They didn't do anything. All I desire is fun, and to control everypony else. To watch the worthless suffer, and to hear their screams of pain and sorrow, to see their frightened faces and to watch their blood splatter all over the place! Why should the useless exist, if all they do is get in the way? That's why my friends and I have decided to bring upon little…'fun' to Equestria." 

"F-Fun?" Spike asked.

Brutalight louder and darkly laughed. 

    "Chaos, Spike! It's what makes the world go around! Without chaos, life is just a boring and miserable thing. I want to be the one to make life...fun. For me, and my friends, as well as you. Everypony else, however, may or may not have fun, depending on how they play the game."

    Brutalight loudly and darkly laughed again, before making the room spin with her magic. Spike pushed Brutalight away and fell on his back, because he couldn't take it anymore. Brutalight was insane, and she wasn't even making any sense. She needed help, and if she didn't get any soon, then everypony else would need help too. Spike ran away from Brutalight into the bedroom, and locked himself inside of the bedroom. He felt extremely guilty that he couldn't talk some sense into Brutalight. He felt as if he failed her, and all the innocent ponies in Equestria. 

Brutalight stared at the bedroom Spike ran inside, before heading down to the basement.

'He'll give in eventually…" Brutalight thought.

And with that, Brutalight began to do some...experiments, down in the basement. Spike had his head underneath his pillow, crying his eyes out. For all he could hear were screams and sobs coming from the basement, where Brutalight was doing her...experiments. She had captured a few ponies that she needed to complete her experiment, and now, all Spike could do was listen to their screams of pain, fear and agony. What type of experiment was she doing? An insanely, abnormal, experiment.

***

Meanwhile, the princesses were almost panicking. They heard about the disaster going on in Ponyville, and it was beginning to spread across Equestria. Hundreds of deaths began to turn into thousands of deaths, and pretty soon, millions of deaths. If they didn't do something fast, then Equestria would become a hell hole. They didn't know the main six were behind this, but they did know that whoever was behind this had extreme power. Possibly more power than all of the princesses combined. 

    The princesses heard about the evil things happening in Equestria that have never been imagined before, until now. The main six were going to visit the princesses soon, so that they may take their throne, and they may hang their heads over their castle to let everypony know who their new rulers are. Can they be stopped before it's too late? How many ponies were sacrificed? Will demons from hell start to cause even more chaos then there already are? Can the princesses stop the main six? Well, all I can say is, that this story isn't ending too soon.
