"..So we all clear on what we're going to do?" I asked. Neither one of them seemed to be listening, Lightning was too F**ked up to even talk, and Prince…oh Prince…both of them…
"Right…go team." I said with almost all of my confidence depleting. The room ignited in a warm glow. Candles, they lined the walls and nearby tables…that also held countless tools on them. You name it they had it, Knives, hammers, sickles, scalpels, a chainsaw and/or bone saw, syringes, a few wrenches and many other goodies. I could even see syringes…possibly adrenaline…ooh…Idea…
The sad thing is, this all would be pretty cool…If my friends or I weren't the ones that they'd be used on! ...Oh hey! There's another tabl- oh god….I am not going to even begin to describe what is on that other table. Let's just say; it looks like Princess Molestia's personal selection of toys…aww and some of them are already used! Wait…what if they used those on Prince…ah no, no let's just get back to the fact that the candles weren't the only things hanging on the walls.
The three we were searching for, Applejack, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetiebelle. Damnit why in almost every situation like this they have to kidnap..er..fillynap(?) The CMC? I mean seriously! They appeared to each be strapped to a separate wheel that…ok it full out looked like a wheel of fortune….except it was more like the wheel of misfortune. Like no shiz they were each strapped to a wheel, that had the little arrow at the top and all around the wheels were different categories. They included scrape…ok, cut, chop, peel, it goes on…I can't, I have a pretty heavy stomach (meaning I can handle gruesome shiz) but this stuff was beyond the line. It crossed the line, and violated it until the line was crooked…right you get what I mean.
Then yep, here they come, out of the shadows. The creeps as I guess I've come to call them. As they emerged from the pitch black darkness that was not banished from the glow of the candles I allowed them not a single peep. The Princess's lips began to form a word but I started before she did.
"The atmosphere is too stereotypical. You obviously are trying to refer to something else and not being original. The weapons are a nice touch, but the toys? Really? I thought you'd use those for…personal use…not for an audience. The candles, sure, adds a gloomy touch, but then again very "original"…that was sarcasm by the way. I do have to say, the whole wheel of torture whatever, that's pretty interesting. Then again, you really had to kidnap those four? Really, No one else came to mind at all? I don't know if you wanted us to come here. I don't even know if you'll let any of us go. So let's make this easy on everyone and just get on with it, because the longer I have to be in a room with all of you the closer I'll be to jabbing my own self with one of those sharp tools." With a deep breath I finished my rant. (It's kinda funny seeing as I liked these guys when I knew they weren't real.)
I was just left to stare at them with their jaws dropped. Yea sure I almost blew my "cover" about me actually knowing them but you know what? No, I don't care anymore. This is far enough. With a couple of blinks from them and a break of their trance, Molestia started to speak again.
"…..I really have nothing to say now that you've basically broken it all down so I guess I'll just start. We haven't been introduced ourselves…I am-." She started.
"I could care less, really." Just ask what you want. I'll try not to answer sarcastically. Then maybe we can go our separate ways but you're probably going to kill us anyway sooo just. Get. On. With. It." I said blatantly.
"Ahem. As you wish. You obviously could tell that we are not from this dimension, and neither are you." She said.
"Whoa! No way! I would've never guessed! I tell yah if my hands weren't bound behind my back I'd be clapping! Did you think of that all by yourself?" I replied. Oh the sarcasm was strong with this one. I was laughing to myself a bit before her hoof struck the side of my face. My head jerked to the side, leaving me to look at the ground beside me as I tried to move my jaw around.
"Now now, I like it rough but you're gonna have to wine and dine me before we go too far." I said with a smirk. Pinkamena was at my throat with a knife instantly.
"Please Princess, please just one swipe! That's all I ask." Pinkamena asked.
"Not yet. We still require the knowledge he possess." Molestia replied.
"But he looks tasty…" Murdershy replied.
"No. Begin prepping everything then we'll see what happens when we're done." Molestia snapped. Her and the others began getting even more stuff ready, jebus how much did they have?! They got a few more tables out with straps hooked to each side, a chair…with straps, and other tools
"Oh ok, hey now let's not be too hasty…" I said. I leaned back a little seeing as Pinakmena was still at my throat. "Hey, since you're there would you give me a shave? It's been a while."
Apparently she didn't think it was funny because, well I mean, unless having a knife shoved even closer to your neck that if you swallowed you'd cut yourself is a means of enjoying a joke then she was laughing her a** off!
"Alright easy there captain eye patch. Don't "lose your sight" on the true goal." I said. Oh my gawd I almost busted out laughing if it wasn't for the knife stuck in my shoulder, my left one to be exact.
"Ah! Jebus! I thought you were the one who loved jokes!" I screeched. "Princeessss she stabbed me!" I managed to say, like I'm a little kid tattling on another kid. Yea I got stabbed, yes it hurt like heck, but I'm trying to ignore it to the best of my ability.
"Pinkamena that's enough, come help." The Princess said sternly and with a final glare the dark pink pony turned and trotted over to the other group, leaving a very sharp weapon in my arm. Perfect, now I just have to get my bindings, as well as Thrash's and Princes' bindings off.
"Psst, hey..Thrash." I whispered. His ears perked up and he slowly looked over to me. "Listen, I know you hurt. I bet you're hurting, but I need your help. Can you scoot over and bite through these ropes?" I asked. It was sad to see, he tried to move but I could almost see the pain flowing throughout him. They really did a number on him…damn…sorry Thrash, stay strong. Then I looked over to Prince, he looked not all too damaged…except for the incident.
Prince…Whiteheart, can you hear me?" I asked, still in a hushed tone. Snapping out of a trance, he heard my voice, looked over to me and nodded. I looked back to see if the others were still busy, and thank the lord they were…not much time though. "Can you make your way over here and get these ropes off?" Prince looked back to the group of murderous ponies, unicorns, pegasi, and alicorn, and he began to shuffle over. I too looked over, being sure to motion Prince to stop if he needed to.
Rainbow Dash flipped around to check on us and my heart jumped up into my throat. My fingers shot out to form the kind of hand motion that said…well more like yelled "stop". Prince kept going though, ah..crap, I don't know if he understands "stop" in hand motion. I have to keep her attention on me, so I just made expressions at her. At first I tried to make it look like I was blowing a kiss…without my hands of course. She just got a look of disgust and went back to "working". Oh close one…I know Prince is not well but please let him hurry, please!
Whiteheart resumed advancing towards me, now inches away. The four strung up on the wheel caught on to what I, somewhat, had planned and decided they'd help out.
"Who are all of y'all?! You're not the friends Ah remember! And how come there's two of me? Huh?!" Applejack blurted out. (The real AJ.)
"Ugh…I thought we went over this already." I heard one of them say. I think it was Rainbow Dash (the evil one ((of course)). As they had a little conversation that included AJ "playing" clueless and Rainbow being 100% done with the talking, I felt a tug at on my arms and knew exactly what was going on. Prince had made his way over and started going H.A.M (Hard as A Motherbucker). Ok, my turn I have to plan this out….The tables…ok…adrenaline yea…it's all coming together…time to pull it off.
With a small snap I felt relief around my wrists and my right hand went immediately for the knife in my left shoulder. Oh piss this is going to hurt like a motherbucker…With a tight grip on the handle and counted to myself slowly.
1…2! Gah! Ngh. Dammitdammitdammitdammit! That hurts. Keep it together. Breathe. Breathe. In, out, in out, holy piss and shiz that hurt! It hurt worse coming out! (giggity) oh shut up.
I flipped my hands behind my back quickly just as Murdershy took a peek behind her. I guess I made a little peep when I ripped the blade out of my arm…I hope she doesn't notice that whole part. She just shrugged and went back to setting up. Jeez how much stuff did they have?! I think I asked that already…well still! Do damn much stuff! Aha wait, I just noticed that she didn't notice the whole missing knife! Success now, for phase two!
I made quick work of the ropes that held my feet together and scooted slowly over to Prince. I gently laid him down to where one couldn't see his bindings and I slashed them off quickly, but I kept his legs together so it still looked like he was tied up. Then Thrashes turn, and I did the same thing but I was a bit gentler. For Prince I loosened the thing over his horn so it could be taken off easier.
Ok…knife, check. Friends cut loose, check. Ignore pain in arm, sort of check. Last but not least…
I shuffled back over to my spot and assumed the position.
"I hate to burden you with such petty needs but if I may, might I acquire a drink?" I said in the fanciest way I could.
"No, now shut up." Pinkamena replied.
"Please madam? My mouth has gotten ever so dry and I require a liquid to quench my thirst." I replied.
"Jeesh, he's worse than you Rarity." Rainbow Dash teased.
"Rainbow dear…" Rarity said. "Bite me."
"Maybe when we're done here." Rainbow responded. Miss Rarity just let out a little giggle. Ew.
"Oh come on, the poor thing's about to go through hell. The least we could do is get him some water or something before." Murdershy replied.
"Ugh, fine. Go get it some water or whatever." Rainbow said.
"I have something for him to drink." Molestia replied, looking back at me with a smirk and a wink. Double ew. Before I noticed, Murdershy was in front of me with a mug of water. Crap…I can't do what I was planning to her! For one, she's cute and still reminds me of the Fluttershy that I know. Then two, she just brought me water because she felt sorry for me. So, no. I need Miss Rarity over here…or Molestia…no too powerful. Pinkamena maybe…or that other Applejack character.
I looked at the mug of water and thought of a small plan. With a mighty throw forward, I pretended to sneeze and "accidently" knocked the water from her hoof. Why? Who knows what was in that water? It could've been sedatives! To keep me from resisting, or paralyzing stuff.
"Ah…oh shoot! I'm so sorry." I said. I kind of was actually because that was a bit rude…
She's about to oh I don't know…kill you! And you're concerned about being rude?! Hey! Shut up! Just because I plan to survive, does not mean that I have to be rude about it. Whatever, just g on with the plan. Thank you.
"I am terribly sorry." I finished. She just walked away back to the group and the other Applejack came over. I'm still not sure which one she is but what matters now is that the good one. Ok…deep breath. It's go time.
As soon as she got in range, I flipped her around and pressed the knife to her back.
"Alright! Now I have some questions! Before any of you think about moving I will drive this knife so far into her back it will come out of the front! Do we all understand?!" I asked. The grouped flipped around with a surprised look and then another look fell over their face. This look was that of "tired of this shiz" mixed with "ok he's serious. Let's play along."
"Let's not do anything foolish." Molestia said.
"The only foolish thing that could possibly happen is any of you making a single move. Ok, first, why are you here? Obviously you aren't from here, so what could possibly draw you here." I started. With a sigh, Molestia began…
"Well, seeing as the "resources" from our own little worlds were diminishing it appeard that we had to branch out. That and this is all too fun, meddling with worlds that aren't ours. Though it appears that this little world has some sort of power that requires me to put forth even more magic to keep us here, so I am searching for this magic source to either destroy it…or harness it." She said.
"Fair enough…and you think I have something to do with this?" I asked.
"But of course, from the other worlds we visited the others like you held the same power, but they didn't give us as much trouble as you." She replied.
"I highly doubt that…but wait…there are more? Like me?" I said.
"Oh yes, but not in this world…or so I've seen." She said.
"I'll tell you this right now. Get out. While you still can or I will end all of you. With all of the pain you have caused…you should no longer continue to live." I replied which was answered with laughter from all of them.
"Sure will be pretty humorous when you're choking on your own intestines that I've pulled up and out your mouth." I threatened.
"Oh…whoa I like this thing…very violent." Pinkamena said.
"Stop calling me a thing! I'm a human! You should know that by now!" I yelled. "Anyway…maybe we can work out some sort of agreement hm? Like say, you leave and I give you back this Applejack. You all leave, never come back, no more death, everybody wins." I offered.
"Or we kill you all here, use the 'resources we need from here, and be on our way to another world after this one is taken over?" Molestia counter-offered. I pressed the knife up against the evil Applejacks back which made her give out a little yelp to show them how serious I was.
"It appears we are at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise?" I responded.
"Nah, killing sounds like more fun. Besides…you're not going to kill her, we know you aren't a killer. You couldn't even kill Pinkamena for crying out loud!" Molestia said, as she was given a mean glare by Pinkamena.
"Really? Really?" I said. If this ever gets turned into a story than I'm sorry…just know I did this for survival and most importantly safety for others. "Applejack…all you three…look away." I said to the real AJ hanging up. "I'm sorry" I whispered into the other Applejack's ear as my arm was brought back and thrusted forward right into the gray-ish orange mares back. Am I a killer? It appears so…am I a merciless killer? No. I'm no animal… I truly felt sorry that she could not be spared. With a few shuddering gasps I could feel her go limp as warm liquid flowed over my hand, and warm tears fell down my cheek. Why was I crying? Doesn't she deserve to die? Well who am I to judge? I don't of anything she has done, if she has killed anyone. I could've just killed an innocent pony because I thought she was part of their evil, wicked conquests.
I tried to soothe her as her life vanished from her body. Just because I killed her does not mean she deserves to be afraid. Gah what does she deserve?! I don't know! Just then her body began to feel lighter…and…clearer…like I could see right through her…wtf?! I mean she started disappearing and then she was just a puff of cloud that was zooming out of the room. What did I just see…?
"Well…you weren't lying…" Molestia replied. Shame…when I'm done here I'll see if she has returned yet."
I was in rage now that I didn't even notice what she said, or that I went after the group of sick ponies.
"Time for the final phase you motherf**kers!" I shouted, running into an almost suicidal battle.
