Twilight Chainsaw

Chapter 1

It was eerily quiet in Ponyville as a foul smelling fog shrouded the entire town that almost blocked out the sun's light. Only the gentle groans and moans coming off the rotting lips of the pony folk that had been turned to member of the living dead could be heard. The fog, a result of the fumes wafting off the hordes rotting corpses. The monotonous sounds the zombies made were sometimes joined by screams. Screams poor ponies survivors made as they were eaten alive.

Amid the dead bodies, destroyed homes and general sense of hopelessness of the ruined town, one little pony was making her way around the rubble and chaos. Running into a group of flesh eaters, the sound of her weapon could be heard ripping through the haunting silence around her.

*Vrrrrrrrrrrrr* "Come on you pieces of shit!" Twilight Sparkle yelled over the sound of her chainsaw she held in her hooves made.

She rushed over to the group and carved down the middle of one. The bisected pony made a popping sound as she turned away from it. "Damn it Spike, you really had to go and get your little claws on a book like that!" she griped as three more ghouls came at her from behind. A purple aura surrounded her weapons and quickly swiped behind her.

"Uuuuuuuaaaa—"

The ear shattering sound of Twilight's chainsaw as it rent through their necks cut them off just as they were about to strike. With their heads lopped off their shoulders, turning them into walking fountains of crimson, Twilight Sparkle pushed them aside as was walked passed, shaking off the rotted blood that splashed on her.

"Wait till I get my hooves on you, you little bastard," she said to herself as she continued moving ahead. Strolling down a peculiarly empty street, she took a moment to look at the pink chainsaw she had been using, taking note of the pretty heart shaped holes in the guide bar that. She sighed. Thank Celestia Pinkie Pie had this kind of thing stashed away in case of emergency. Though when I get the chance I should probably ask her what kind of emergency would need one of these… Never mind, I should just be thankful it was there when I found it.

Galloping down the row of house that lined pathway on each side, with the piles of dead ponies lying outside each of them; Twilight noticed something odd with each pile she past, aside from the obvious fact that they were there to begin with. Unable to shake her curiosity any longer, she stopped by one of the festering mounds to investigate. The corpses were ripped, bitten, bleeding, missing limbs, blood was collecting at the bottom as it dripped out of their lacerations. Some of them wore the expression the had as they perished, eyes closed tight and mouth wide open, probably as they cried out. Shielding her nose as she stepped closer, Twilight took notice that each of the bodies appeared to have had something cut out of them. What confused her about it was that the cuts were in certain areas and done with incredible precision..

"Since when did zombies used forks and knives to eat?" While she placed a hoof to her chin and pondered the possible answers, a voice caught her attention.

"Heeeehee, haaaahaa, Haha!"

Hearing the laughter coming from two houses away, Twilight darted over to the find out who was there, Maybe it was the dragon she had been after she thought. Turning the corner, she slammed her hooves into the dirt and stopped herself. She noticed more piles of bodies stacked up along the path and started heading down slowly. In the distance, Twilight squinted, vaguely making out something. Telling by the figure's silhouette it was pony, a unicorn and, considering the majority, probably a mare. She made her way towards the pony cautiously.Pinkie always says fight off those sad feeling with a smile and a laugh. But I don't think now's the time for that..

As she made her way closer, Twilight looked over to more body piles lining the road. All of them still had the same carving in them. One of the piles caught her eye as she noticed some writing on the grass in front of it. She stepped closer. The words "No more humans" was crudely written by a pony's hoof and done using blood. Twilight kept walking, getting closer to the figure and noticing more writing by the other piles.

Where were you when we needed you

Humans! I know you're real

Why didn't you save us

I believe

Humanity will save me

My Humanity will be complete

The rambling words continued with each pile she walked past, all of them consisted of the same topic. Right when Twilight stopped to read what was written by the next groups, she heard someone speak.

"You know, I was a good unicorn. When I was little, my mom told me stories. Stories of ancient times, when ponies faced many dangers and it was the humans that came to save us. They sounded wonderful, like heroes that came and saved us when we really needed it."

As she got closer, Twilight noticed the pile of bodies were getting bigger, some bodies zombies, some not.

"I even had an imaginary human best friend. Other ponies used to laugh and tease me for it, but I didn't care. I knew that humans existed and that one day they would save me."

The blood pooling at the base of each mound were looking fresher with each one she past. Twilight looked down at her feet and noticed she was now following a crimson trail against the green grass.

"As I grew up, I started studing history. My belief in humans started to waver back then, until I had a revelation. How could no one see it? How could they all be so dense? The signs were all around us. Why do we have jars that we couldn't open with our hooves? Why do tea cup have handles you can't fit your hooves through. Bowling balls have holes in them and no one has any idea why! The list goes on. The answer is right there. Realizing this, I understood that when ponies really needed them, the humans would come and save us…"

Twilight now stood just a few feet away from the mint green unicorn that had her back turned to her. She stood still, waiting to hear her finish.

"Today was just like any other, that was until that light shot out into the sky. The blast that followed knocked me out. When I woke up, screaming, screaming was all I could hear. I got up and saw ponies running for their lives. I saw ponies eating other ponies, it was horrible. As I saw them cry out in agony, I thought to myself, 'this can't be happening'. Then I saw pony that had die get back up, but they weren't the same… I saw my best friend run for her life. I was about to follower her when she ran behind a house, but when I heard it… when I heard her cry out like that, my legs froze. That's when I thought back to those stories; the stories I was told as a filly. Surely the humans would come and save us. But they never did... I spent my last moments looking up to the sky and reaching out for something."

Twilight was about to step closer and place one hoof on her shoulder. "Oh Lyra, I'm—" She was interrupted by Lyra, who now spoke in a coarse tone.

"When I woke up again, I got this idea in my head. If humanity won't come to me, I'll just have to make em,"

The purple unicorn stepped back, thrown off by what the mare just said. "Lyra, you can't possibly hope to bring humanity here."

Lyra turned her neck to face her. That's when Twilight got a good look at her. Her green coat had become faded, bloodstains smeared her body, bits of her figure were torn, exposing her muscles and bones. She looked at Twilight, one eye completely red while the other colored bright yellow. "You've got it all wrong Twilight Sparkle. When I said 'I'll make em' I didn't mean bring humanity here."

Twilight looked back, remembering all those bodies she saw as she got closer. "So you're... That's gross! Using ponies to make something that isn't even real."

Lyra scowled hearing her say that. "Shut up! They are real! And they're gonna save me!" She started pounding her hoof on the ground as her horn started glowing. "You're just like everyone else. Making fun of me and telling me humans aren't real! Well I'm gonna show you! I'm gonna show everyone! Ahahahahahaha!"

The ground at their feet rumbled. Twilight could barely stay on her hooves as she watched Lyra, still laughing, being lifted up by a massive mash up of flesh, bone, muscle and other body parts that were combined together to resembled that of a hand. Twilight jumped back as the opening expanded. The monstrosity below the surface pulled itself out of the soil and stood on two feet.

"Now I see why I didn't run into so many zombies around here and why there were so many bodies missing some pieces. All of that, just to make that stupid thing? You seriously need a better hobby," Twilight said as she grabbed hold of her weapon.

"Make fun all you want Twilight, you're like everyone else." The golem took one step forward and pulled its arm back to punch. "And like everyone else, you'll soon be a part of Humanity here. Now die!"

The abomination's fist left a bloody imprint as its fist slammed against the ground, making a combination of squishing and cracking noises as it hit the soil. Twilight jumped away but was still knocked back by the force of the impact. She charged and jumped on the giant's fist. Running up its arm, Twilight dug the revving blades deep inside the beast's arm and pulled it behind her. The creation's arm was splitting in two as the mare, ran up to its shoulder.

"Noooooo! Don't hurt him!" Lyra shouted from atop her creation's head as Twilight, using her telekinesis wielded her weapon to carve the right arm slices off. Retaliating with her magic, Lyra maneuvered the monster's left arm to swat Twilight. Grabbing on to the chainsaw handles, Twilight slashed as the hand slammed down on her. With a thud the massive hand pressed down on its shoulder and the purple pony vanished under it.

A confident smile appeared on Lyra's rotten lips, seeing Twilight get crushed. But the smell of burning meat reaching her nose cut her celebratory moment short. She leaned over, looking down and noticed Humanity's hand shaking violently. The chainsaw roared as Twilight ripped through meat hand and landed on its wrist.

She looked up at Lyra, gnashing her teeth. "Do you know how long it'll take me to wash all this shit off!" she growled as she tried cleaning off the blood and chunks of meat that stuck onto her coat. With the blades of her chainsaw glowing orange from the heat, she slashed down and cleaved the monsters hand clean off.

Lyra gasped. "Do you know how long it took me to get those hands just right? Do you know how many ponies I had to go through?" Controlling her beast, Lyra swiped its arm, forcing Twilight off. Sent soaring, flying just over the ground, she drove her chainsaw into the ground to slow down, clumps of mud and rocks went in the air as the chain torn into the ground.

Meanwhile Lyra's Humanity was grabbing bodies from the piles she left behind and started absorbing the bodies into itself. "See that Twilight Sparkle, Humanity is all powerful. You can't stop it. You have no hope of—Whoa!" A chainsaw flew towards her monster, cutting through its neck, sending Humanity's head, along with Lyra, falling down below. The unicorn landed on her neck in front of Twilight with a bone shattering crunch.

Lyra lay on the ground with her neck completely bent and her creature standing behind her, both motionless. Twilight looked down at her. "Huh, that was easier than I thought," she said, kicking the mare and laughed to her self. Normally no sense in beating a dead horse, but in this case I think it's an exception. "Well, now that this waste of time is over, I got to go find that dragon assistant of mine and give him a piece of my mind… figuratively speaking. Hmm, I get the feeling I forgot something."

As Twilight turned to walk away, Lyra sprang to her hooves and lunged. "Haaaaaaa!" She was just inches away when her body can to a sudden halt. Her body began to shake violently. turned her head down and notices something impaling her.

The familiar sound of Twilight's chainsaw revved as it landed on Lyra. Cutting through her back and out her stomach, it harpooned her into the ground. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggh!" she cried as she desperately tried reaching for the unicorn standing in front of her. She dragged herself forward, slowly splitting the lower portion of her body further and further in half as she dragged against the fast spinning chain, coating it in her blood. Her horn began to shine, trying to move her golem to aid her.

Twilight, not paying any attention to the screaming mare behind her, turned her head back. "Oh right." she walked towards Lyra and reached her hoof out. "How could I have almost forgotten this. Silly me." With her forelegs grasping the chainsaw's handle, she placed a back hoof on Lyra's horn and pushed against it as she pulled on her weapon.

"Aaaaaaaguuuuuuuhwwwaaaaaaaah!" The zombie pony gurgled as her upper half was being torn in two.

Chunks of red meat with patches of pale green fur scattered as Lyra was pushed into the orange glow of the super heated blades. Finally prying her weapon out of the ground, Twilight walked away, leaving the two halves of Lyra lying on the ground. Behind her, her Humanity wobbled as the pieces it was constructed out of were falling off. As her creation fell forwards on her, the two halves of Lyra's mouth uttered something.

"I just... I just wanted to be with humanity…" The giant fell, crushing her as the bits of muscles, organs and bones spilled everywhere, painting the area around it red.

Off in the distance Twilight, using her magic to remove the crap that still clung to her coat and mane, was already continuing her search to find who she was searching for. "Sheesh, all I'm trying to do is find one little dragon to get that stupid book and put a stop to all this and I get a crazy zombie pony with an obsession with something that isn't even real." Walking around the shrouded mess of a town, effortlessly dispatching a few more of the living dead along the way, the sound of music caught her ear. Glancing down the incline to the source of the blaring tunes, she spots an assortment of colorful lights shining from a stage.

"I guess I should find out what's going on over there. Maybe it'll lead me to Spike, or at least some clues on finding him."

Before Twilight went down the ravaged pathway, she turned her head to the tool she had been using this entire time. A thought she'd chosen to ignore suddenly popped into her head.

I hope the rest of them are alright.
