This time up its two veterans of the first round. The most wanted mare in Equestria, Captain Skyheart contracted to eliminate the rogue Element of Loyalty, Rainbow Dash. Skyheart receives a dead drop promising her payment after taking down another target, and the mare heads off to intercept Dash as she rides the train to the Crystal Empire.
This is the first match of the second round of Assassin's Feed, a collaborative project between myself, Voltwrecker and
Dudey64
This one is a little delayed, again... but I have good reason this time. I actually went on holiday for a week during writing time, so technically this only took me 10 days... Heh, sorry. I should keep you guys clued in more, anyway, hope you enjoy.

No vote on this one once again since we're in the semi-finals, leaving only one matchup left again. The next finalist will reveal themself based on who survives the next round Voltwrecker is writing. Will it be Cane? Or will Dusk Rider power through? A battle of the personas, haha.

Seeing these two go up against each other almost feels like a mirror match in some spots.
Something about their attitudes.
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Really? I mean they're both brash pegasi, but so are fifty percent of Pegasus OCs, haha. Some spots though, like you say, just a different outlook on things.

I enjoy Shining Armor constantly eating throughout this almost as much as I enjoy the main stories. :D
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Hehe, I was reminded I didn't use him enough in the last entry, so I figured I'd make up for it with this one. He's got a lot of unruly guards he has to keep in order.
Posted by FanficFetishist 7 years ago Report
Shining Armor's one of my favorite stallions. I enjoy seeing him being all fat and preddish. :D
Posted by saintheartwing 7 years ago Report
WHY would Shining Armor want to eliminate one of the Elements? I would think that would be one of the LAST people he'd want killed, not only because she's a big friend of his sisters, but because, y'know, the Element Bearers regularly save the world. That seems a very short-sighted, stupidly nonsensical move.
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
It's an AU. You're not wrong that it makes little sense beyond oh she's gone kinda rogue so let's just take care of her quietly and away from my sister and not try to fix her or anything because fetish. Just switch your brain off canon, the only thing canon about this Dash is her base level personality and appearance.

You may have missed it, but this series isn't exactly set in 'normal, show Equestria'.
More so than that (and the fact that, at the end of the day, this is a fetish fic), in the first installments, it is outlined that 'Equestria is beset by a plague of assassins and contract killers, and Celestia has made it the job of Shining Armour and the Royal Guard to clean it all up as part of Operation: Assassin’s Feed. To that end each week he will be issuing a contract for one of the deadly assassins to target another, letting them solve the problem for Equestria themselves for just the price of a relatively small sum of bits.'
As https://aryion.com/g4/view/389746 shows, in this universe, Rainbow has become a (albeit new and inexperienced) vorish assassin, and this is part of the sweep up, like Spitfire before her.

meh i really hope dash is not the last one standing. would be so boring.
Posted by Septia 7 years ago Report
Sort of agree, there were more fun ones that could have triumphed. Though suppose it is not up to us to decide entirely.
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Believe me, I hoped Dash would go down in the first round. Wasn't happy at first writing my fav OC getting eaten by Dash, but I managed to get a fun fic out of it I think.
Posted by SmaxTheDestroyer 7 years ago Report
Honestly didn't see this outcome coming. But that doesn't make it less awesome!
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Don't think Skyheart did either, haha.
Posted by AthleticDashie 7 years ago Report
So, Rainbow Dash pulled off a huge upset?
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Who wins the round is decided by luck. Got nothing against Dash, but I prefer Gilda, and definitely prefer Skyheart, but Dash has won both coin flips so far.
Posted by AthleticDashie 7 years ago Report
so if Dash wins the next round, then what?
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Well... Then she wins round 1 of Assassin's Feed. Might get to return champion in the future or something. Also get some Dudey art probably.
Posted by AthleticDashie 7 years ago Report
Right and I do not remember what she told her friends
Posted by TheRPKing 7 years ago Report
Skyheart! Nooooo!
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Alas, she died as she lived... By gurgling.
Posted by TheRPKing 7 years ago Report
Well at least she died like how she wanted to go, in a completely disgusting way.
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Hehe, live hard, die young and leave a very messy, disgusting corpse.
Posted by TheRPKing 7 years ago Report
Just how she wanted to go out.

I think i can fix this.....
Posted by ThatSickFuck 7 years ago Report
I love every single bit of this storyline, it's always fun to read about a continuing story, not to mention I love competition/tournaments, but the disposal part is what makes me enjoy every single one of them.
Posted by ThatSickFuck 7 years ago Report
Forgot to mention: I also love that apparently who wins is decided by a flip of coin, nobody likes pred-dash except me it seems, so random luck made it go my way :D
Posted by Darkworkz 7 years ago Report
Personally speaking, it's not that I don't like Dash Pred, hell she's the first pony that introduced me to being a brony. It's who Dash ate. Skyheart is a big favorite of many a Cainiam fan, myself included. We're all just....disappointed, is all. I like it when the Skybutt gets bigger~
Posted by Camlio420 7 years ago Report
Honestly the fact that it was a coin flip that decided Dash beating Skyheart spoiled this story for me. Honestly don't like Dash anyway so of it was at least something like popular vote I'd have been able to at least enjoy it but a flippin coin toss?!
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
If it was a popular vote, then OCs wouldn't stand a chance in this competition. Canons are more well liked by the general crowd than OCs. Every Assassin's Feed round is decided by coin toss for that reason. It's luck in its most pure incarnation.
Posted by Camlio420 7 years ago Report
From the sound of the dash hate in these comments not seeing it. People may like canon characters but more people like specific canons as prey
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Gotta admit, I expected Dash to have a lot more support. Maybe I overestimated how much more popular canons are over OCs. After all, you are correct that some people like certain OCs as prey. It's something to consider for the future if we do a second run of this.
Posted by Camlio420 7 years ago Report
Pretty sure everyone is gonna want Dash to die an in between tourneys death if she does win from how many people have gone and outright stated they dont want her to win. Especislly if the prey from this one stay dead.
Posted by silverspec 7 years ago Report
Bad sample. Canon characters are wildly more popular based on the fact that they have more exposure. OC are niche within a certain group. IMO
Posted by CheezeIty 7 years ago Report
I really thought dash was gonna choke on sky. I also feel like shining is going to eat the winner
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Haha... Hmm. I think I'll make a note of that. Properly choking to death out of greed sounds fun.
Posted by dddddd2 7 years ago Report
Yay! I just can't get enough 'Turducken' style vore.
While I also hoped Skyheart would win, at least we get to see how huge a meal she can be. It's lovely to see that Dashie had to put so much effort gulping her down and pushing her out.
Posted by Cainiam 7 years ago Report
Hehe, I do love a pred with prey still wriggling too. It's fun to see a big pred getting snatched up. Such a big meal!
Posted by Darkworkz 7 years ago Report
Well, it was a great read Cane. I got a really good laugh out of Quill's ending. Awesome job as always!
Posted by silverspec 7 years ago Report
Not sure where the Dash hate is coming from. She's an OK pred. I feel your writing makes it better tho. And hot damn, that was a hell of a disposal scene.
Posted by Camlio420 7 years ago Report
It's because of the fact that even the story acknolwdges that dash had no expriance and beating Skyheart who made her entire career off of murdering ponies, gryphons, etc makes no sense from a story perspective to the point it feels a bit deus ex machinay

Loved the entirety of it, so much interactivity between them, such a short encounter in such a large detail. Every moment was tons of fun, amazingly done!

Sensational!
