Twilight Chainsaw

Chapter 2.


It was impossible to tell whether it was day or night anymore inside Ponyville, thanks to the fog blanketing it, The white skyline fortunately reflected the light coming off various fire to, give the town what little illumination it could. The thick smog made it impossible for anyone on the outside to see what was going on. But it was better that way, for the ponies stuck inside wished they never had laid witness to the horrors that took place on their side. Given what was going on, small signs of activity were going on throughout the town. One in particular garnered Twilight Sparkle's attention.

By the southwestern edge of town, a few blocks away from Carousel Boutique, a mass of zombies had gathered at the front of a large stage. The clouds above the the area were painted a spectrum of colors by the spot lights on the scaffolding. The eye catching light show was accompanied by music coming from the collections of massive speakers placed throughout the stage. The zombies were standing around, bobbing their head to the booming beat. Some bobbing intentionally while others that lacked neck control, were being forced to by the strong vibrations.


Hiding a safe distance away inside of a shop stall, Twilight cautiously peered her head over the counter to investigate, clicking her teeth at the sight. "All of them. The whole crowd is made up of those ugly creeps. Wait a second..." Something in the center of zombie horde suddenly caught her eye. "What's that?"

"Aaaaah! Please no! I don't want to die! Please! someone save me!"

A colt, tied by his forelegs, dangled helplessly above the mob of undead ponies. They pushed and shoved among themselves, reaching their cracked blood soaked hooves up to try and grab the light amber earth pony. As they started climbing over one another. The stallion pulled himself up to avoid a hoof that brushed against his grayish tangelo tail and almost scratched his three horseshoe cutie marked flank..

The sound of a record scratching erupted from the speakers, sending a sound wave that curved air as it traveled to the ground below. Zombies were scattered by the sonic blast, clearing out the ground below the hanging colt.

Following the blast, the voice of a girl called out from the speakers. "Now chill out everyone!" The swarming audience, scrambling to fill in the newly opened space, obeyed her.

The colt looked down to the still crowd when he he suddenly heard the sound of something whizzing through the air. His rope was sliced as a record flew right through it, sending him falling to the ground. After he hit the grass, he untied his binds and scouted around himself.

"Oh Celestia no, not like this." He breathed quickly as he stared at the horde surrounding begin to close in.

Another blast of sound stuck down, knocking back the zombies from getting close and forcing the stallion to the ground. "Aaaaaaaaah!" he cried, pressing his hooves against his ears..

The mares voice called out again. "Nu-uh uh, I didn't say go yet," The zombie ponies did as they were told, stopping once more from advancing.

The colt, alone in the center of the circle, had a hoof to his chest, his breathing was sporadic, sweat falling down his face, and his eyes darted between every monster eyeing him like fresh meat. He looked to the stage and dropped to his knees. "Please just let me go, all I want is to find my girlfriend."

"Aww, well ain't that sweet everyone," the voice sarcastically replied. The crowd remained motionless, except for those that bit of skin peeling off. "Sorry pal, looks like the crowds not with you on that one. Okay everyone, how would you all like a mosh pit instead?" The entire horde growled in response. "Looks like they've spoken, and as best DJ around I always give them what they want. Sorry babe but looks like you won't be getting away. But look on the bright side, you'll get to be one of us and listen to me play forever!" she said with a chuckle. "Alright everyone, ready?"

Surrounded by thousands of drooling slack jaws; snot, sweat and tears combined as it ran down his face and stained his coat. The fleshed rotted ponies surrounding him, licked their arid lips as their hooves scratched the dirt, were ready to attack.

Up on the stage, the sickly yellow white unicorn jumped on top of her DJ booth and looked over her army of ravenous zombie fans. She lifted her cracked purple tinted sunglasses over her grayish blue with lighter pale blue streaked mane, revealing her blood red eyes, pulled a microphone up to her lips and took a deep breath.

"Mosh Pit!" Her voice echoed through the crowd which did they were told and started charging towards the colt.

Something in the back was making its way through the mob. Tearing through ponies like a blender, Twilight's chainsaw roared as it wildly tore through everything in her path. Arms, legs, torsos and heads, all sent flying as she became a whirlwind of blood. She burst into the open circle and landing in front of the colt. Wielding it with her magic, she swiped her weapon in a giant arc, dropping dozens of zombies as their heads fell to the floor. The colt, cowering down on the grass, moved his hooves away from his eyes to see the blood soaked unicorn in front of him.

"You alright Caramel?" Twilight asked as blood dripped off her body.

"T-T-Twilight Sparkle, is that you? What is going on?"

"No time to explain, just get the hell out of here!"

Nervously nodded to her, Caramel dashed through the bloody pathway Twilight left behind, managing to escape and leaving her standing alone against the army of growling slobbering zombies. On stage the mare at the booth looked down at the red and purple pony.


"Looks we've got a live one boys and girls. So little lady, come to listen to me drop my beats? I dunno though, I think it may be too much for you."

Twilight pointed her chainsaw at the DJ. "Shut the hell up Vinyl Scratch, I'm just trying to find what's responsible for all this and put a stop to it."

The unicorn used her magic to send a microphone towards Twilight, while it floated over to her, DJ-Pon3 turned the volume up. "What was that girl? I couldn't hear you."

"I said I'm trying to find and stop what caused all this!" Twilight's voice repeated on the speakers, only it was so loud that It traveled through the whole town. Shortly after her announcement, the howls and wails of undead ponies could be heard coming from every direction. Pon3 smiled as her mic came back to her.

"Aww, you hear that guys? Little Twilight Sparkle is trying to put a stop to our! Sorry Twilight, but can't let you do that. You see, I don't ever want to go back to normal, assuming that'll even happen if you managed to stop this. I like the changes. I don't need to rest, I've got all the time to work on my music, I got a audience that'll never tire and leave. Why would I want to give all that up? Plus there's this." She moved her hoof to the volume dial and turned it up.

"Aaaaaah!" Twilight feel to her knees as a loud blast of music moved through the crowd and reached her. Pulling her hooves off her eyes, she looked and noticed blood on them as her ears kept ringing.

"You hear that? That ringing in your head? That what I heard before, back when I was still Vinyl. That ringing, getting louder and louder as the days went on. I knew that some day that would be all I could ever hear. How was I supposed go on doing the thing I love at that rate! But then that wonder blast of light shot out, and I woke up like this. Now I don't hear the ringing, everything's clear as a bell. I can play as loud as I want and never have to worry. DJ-Pon3 will never stop with her beats. There's no way I'm giving this up. Check this out, I can go even louder… like this," she said as she turned up the dial.

Another blast of sound burst of the speakers, The ground rumbled from the destructive force. It was strong enough to blow zombie standing too close to pieces. Heads in the crowd were popping like soda bottles as the sound wave traveled through.

Twilight raised her chainsaw in front of her and started revving it as loud as she could while creating a magic barrier and braced for impact. Her weapon shook violently and her shield started cracking as the sound wave passed through. Thankfully she managed to avoid taking the hit.

"Using your chainsaw's vibration to weaken the force of my music while shielding yourself. You do live up to your cutie mark. Otherwise you'd be just like my fans out there, well except you wouldn't be trying to find your head." DJ-Pon3 grabs a record from under her table and started playing it. "This is my party Twilight Sparkle, and I'm not letting anyone stop it!"

The mob rushed Twilight with the music blaring. She charged, chainsaw in hoof, hacking her way into the mob. Cutting down ghoul after ghoul, she didn't notice a batch leap at her from behind. More zombies joined in, dog piling on her while the mare on stage could be heard laughing through the music. The mountain of bodies stacked on top of her began to rumble as a familiar revving sound could be heard coming from the bottom of the pile.

An explosion went off underneath that flung bodies everywhere. Rocketing out from the top of the detonated mound, Twilight gracefully landed while the stack behind her was blown to bits. She shook her body vigorously. "Aaaagh, that was so gross! You're gonna pay from that one Vinyl you psycho!"

More zombies continued storming towards her. After cleaving through a batch of them Twilight grabbed their bisected torso, using her telekinesis, and tossed it into the others. She then leaped into the air and carved down on more of the undead. Something large slammed into the ground right next to her and Twilight jumped back in shock to see it was a speaker. Pon3's voice shot out.

"You bitch!"

The intensity of her voice blew out the speaker, knocking Twilight back. With her back on the ground, she noticed more speakers looming overhead. She started making a dash for the stage as they dropped one after another. She galloped through, holding her weapon in front of her to clear her path. With each dropped box, Twilight heard Vinyl's voice shout out.

"Party with us!"

"Just die!"

"Give up!"

"Just let my fans have a bite!"

"Stop her guys!"


Speakers were dropping left and right, flattening zombies and blowing up as they missed the running mare. Now at the front of the stage, Twilight hopped on the heads of the ponies at the front row and flipped onto the stage with her engine revving. She made a run for the booth but the razor sharp records Vinyl flung at her forced Twilight to change course.

Pon3 started laughing as she scratched her records. "Don't go thinking it was going to be so easy." While she continued scratching, a circular part of the stage started to lift up, carrying the DJ and her booth with it. The edge of her platform started buzzing as it spun rapidly and started moving forward. Twilight rolled out of the way as the flying disc headed off the stage and into the audience. The buzz saw record butchered through, cutting the the crow like butter, wiping out what was left of the mob.

A loud bang could be heard coming from the massive speakers behind Twilight as Pon3 bashed her hooves down. "Damn it! Look what you made me do to my fans! What's a DJ without the roar of the crowd?"

"Me? You're the one who-"

"Shut up! I'm not letting you get away with this!" Her flying record turned and charged the unicorn on stage. Twilight stood her ground, griping her chainsaw tightly in front of her. The music playing was matching the intensity of their fight.

The two collided, Twilight, using all her strength and magic, stood against Vinyl's record as hard as she could but was slowly being pushed back. Behind her was the set of large stereos still belting out Pon3 tunes.

"Face it girl, if I don't slice you up, you'll be blown to bits by my rockin' tunes."

Twilight dug her hooves into the wooden paneling. Vinyl looked on in shock as the pony struggling in front of her was actually managing to hold her. "How the hell are you doing that?" she howled, doing everything possible to push her platform forward. "Fuck! You just have to have so much magic in you!" she yelled, glaring her seething hateful eyes at Twilight.

Unwilling to accept the stalemate, Pon3 climbed over her booth and lunged at Twilight. The lavender mare tilted her head to see the zombified DJ's hooves reaching for her neck, drool dripping out her open jaw, her red veiny eyes focused on chomping down on her. Twilight quickly dropped to her knees. Still pressing her saw blade against the giant spinning record, she power slide as under as it flew forward.

Pon3, missing Twilight as she ducked, was caught by her own device. She was hit in the middle of her torso, but insted of slicing through her the platform carried her with it, crashing into the two massive speakers. Smoke billowed out from the wreck. The music stopped and the sound of static could be heard coming from the sound system.

Twilight looked back to find DJ-Pon3 upside down and impaled on the speaker speakers. Blood ran down her shoulders, head and hair. Hacking up more blood, she reached down for something on the ground. Twilight took one look at what the pony was reaching for and started making a run for it.

Her body twitching and with mic now in her shattered blood dripping hoof, she pulled it to her face. She struggled but finally took a deep breath.

"Twilight Sparkle..." Her voice was scratchy and grainy. The next thing she said was with all her strength. "You fucking bitch!"

With those final words, Vinyl Scratch disintegrated. Her intense shout exploded through the speakers, distorting the stage and everything nearby. The stage and body ridden field around it were vaporized by the passing sound wave. Out in the blood drenched fields, galloping as fast as she could, Twilight could feel the pressure of the blast reaching her. Desperate, she focused her magic and teleported herself away.


Near by houses surrounding the stage were blown apart, leaving very little left standing, but the sonic blast had past and everything fell silent once more. Twilight, having teleported behind a house, opened her eyes andpulled her hooves out of her ears. She looked back to find the house she hid behind was was gone, all but the small portion of wall she had been standing behind. Happy to find herself still in one piece and the ringing in her head fading away, she breathed a heavy well deserved sigh of relief. Turning her head to the left she caught sigh of something unpleasant.

"Uuuuaaaaaah," a zombie moaned as it stood inches away from her face.

"Aaaaah!" Twilight reached for her chainsaw, but the creature was too close. Instinctively her eyes closed.

Under the dark of her shut eyelids, she heard a loud bang followed by what sounding like something splattering against a wall. Her eyes opened to the sight of a spine and larynx sticking out of the zombies neck. Twilight pushed the decapitated pony away and looked to her left to find bits of the zombie's head splattered on the wall chunk. In the mess of blood she noticed a small hole.

"What the hay was that? A bullet?" She took a moment to determine the trajectory of the bullet based on the angle it struck the wall. Figuring out where it came from, she took off galloping for the hilltop where the Sweet Apple Acre fields were located. Ok, someone up there just saved me. Sweet Apple Acres, hmm. Maybe it's her, maybe the others are with her. I better hurry.
