[PRESENT] >"NO! PLEASE! I HAVE A FAMILY!" >Shut up and BLEED you mother fu-! >You swing your scythe in an uppercut motion at him. >The blade buried itself up to the hilt in his stomach. >The toe of the blade poked out of his mouth. >You smiled as he gargled on his own blood. >His eyes wide and rolled back, showing nothing but white. >You turned around, resting the shaft on your shoulder. >You reached out and held the shaft with both hands, like you were carrying a log on your shoulders. >With a smile, you yanked down and bent forward. >The satisfying rip of guts and the spurting of blood was heard as the blade tore itself from his body. >You looked back to admire your handiwork. >From his stomach to his jaw, he was split wide open. >You laugh at the thought of leaving him here for his 'family' to find. >And that's exactly what you did. >You were tired, and it was time to go home. >These fucking ponies... >They never put up a fight. >You have killed countless scores of them, and yet your bloodlust could never be fully sated. >However, the fear in their eyes and movements as they went about their daily lives was hilarious in itself. >Returning home, you tossed your bloodied scythe on the floor and dropped onto the couch. >You were out like the dying heartbeat of a little girl. >It was the first time in ages that you didn't feel the burning. >The burning... >Fuck that old man's curse. >And the dreams... >Boys and girls, those were some wonderful dreams -- >All of your greatest achievements flashed before your eyes. >The scale of what you have done. >The sheer volume of people you had killed. >It was breathtaking. >But like all good things, it had to end sometime. >When they captured you, the only thing you could think was, "What a waste." >All those people you hadn't killed yet. >Come the night of your execution, there must have been over a thousand people gathered outside to watch you fry. >You were very upset about that. >There should have been more. >You remember there was this preacher in the observation room >You thought he was just some bible-thumper wanting to save your soul. >But it turned out, the old man had something else in mind. >As you fried, he started screaming out like the freak he was. >He asked god to curse you. >To burden you forever with the flames of hell. >Needless to say, you broke free from your bonds and tore his fucking throat out right there. >It took less than a minute to kill 3 police officers, and get your mask back on. >You never used to believe in curses, but it has been three months since that night. >And the pain gets worse everyday. "So let me tell you something boys and girls." "I sure as hell believe in curses now." -- >You don't remember a thing as to how you got here, but it was fucking annoying. >The bright colors of this place burned your eyes. >You would rather have the grey, dirty, and dark atmosphere of the city. >Of course, this particular city wasn't always like this. >You just helped it along to make it a better place. >When you finally woke up, it was still daylight. >What a shame. >But it will be dark soon, so the fun can begin once again. >As you clean your tools from the night before, you take a moment to reflect on past events. >You remember the police finally cornering you once again. >That shouldn't have happened. >But what can you say? >Those fucking girl scouts needed to die. >You were only being a good sumaritan. >The police took no chances in capturing you this time. >They open fired as your vision went black. >You woke up in a forest. >A dark, foggy, mucky, beautiful forest. >As you got to your feet, the retarded offspring of a lion and a scorpion tried to attack you. >Needless to say, you were just as tall as it was, and stronger as well. >A hard stab in the face and slitting of the throat was deeply unsatisfying for you. >But then you heard a voice. >"What did you do!" >You turned around to see... >Fucking Christ, you were in hell. >A little purple unicorn was staring at you, mouth wide open. -- >You wanted to kill her right there and then. >But something stopped you from tearing off the scorpion tail and impaling her with it. >Maybe it was your concious telling you she could be useful. >A concious you didn't know you had. "What the fuck are you?" >She regained a little composure. >"I-I am Twilight Sparkle." >You don't give a shit who she is. "I said WHAT are you!" >She cowered in fear as you raised your voice. >"I'm a p-pony." >A fucking pony? >God damn it all, you were in hell. "Where am I?" you demanded. >"The Everf-free Forest," she stammered. "How the hell do I get out of here?" >"I can take you back to Ponyville if you'd like." >Civilization? >A new playground? >Excellent. >Your voice calmed down from this new information. "Very well little lady. Please lead the way." >You knew there was some reason you didn't kill her. -- >She led you through the forest. >She kept quiet for a while, which was very nice. >But her voice. >Oh God her voice is worse than a baby's cry. >She kept staring at you. >You fucking hated being stared at. "What." you ask, a slight rage in your voice. >"I was just wondering..." she trailed off. >"I was just... Doesn't that hurt?" >She was talking about your head. >The neverending fire that burned but never seared your flesh. "Yes." >Your rage and self control were reaching new heights. >Never before had you ever restrained yourself from gutting the first person to look at you wrong. >"Why don't you dump water on it to put it out?" "It's a curse. It can't be put out." >She stopped and turned to face you. >A large smile was on her face. >How great would it be to drive your fist right into her pretty little mouth? >"I can help you!" "No you can't." >"Watch me." -- >Her horn started to glow. >You felt a major migraine in your brain. "AAARGH!!!" >You held your head and thrashed around. >Her horn stopped glowing and she looked at you quizzically. >"I don't understand. That should've worked." >THE FUCKING PAIN! >You should just kill her now to avoid anymore of this bullshit. >She already pointed you in the general direction of town. >"Maybe Princess Celestia can help." >Wait, what? >"She is the most powerful magic user in Equestria. She is sure to have the ability to dispel this curse!" >Hmm... interesting. >Perhaps you can spare her for the time being. >This 'Princess Celestia' sounds like a powerful being. >And a monarch no less. >It would definitely be a new category in your long list of victims. "Very well. But if you try that shit again, you can expect some Very. Serious. Consequences." >She shrunk away from you. >"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." "Good. Let us move on then." -- >You were watching this pony as you walked. >She opened her mouth a few times to say something, but shut it immediately. >Good. >You don't know if you can stand anymore of her chatter. >She was also trying to sneak a few peeks at your face. >Your mask terrfied her enough that she held back from asking about it. >She led you through town. >More of these disgusting creatures everywhere. >You can feel their stares. >Your mask, your 'hair', and your overall alien physique. >All these new ponies. >They weren't people, but they can die all the same. >Looks like you will just have to make due. >The unicorn led you to a tree house in the center of town. >Upon entering, you see it is a library. >She calls for someone named Spike. >To your surprise, a little dragon came running down the stairs to the pony. >She told him to take a letter, to which he saluted and ran to grab a pen and paper. >The poor misguided soul. >Why was he slaving for this fucking unicorn? >If he wanted to, he could burn this place down, destroy the town, and eat this bitch. -- >He returned with the items needed for the unicorn's request. >He actually got a good first look at you. >He flinched when he saw your towering form, and your fucking head. >You gave him an intimidating stare, to which he looked down to his paper and started writing down everything the unicorn said. >When they finished, he rolled the letter up and disintigrated it with a breath of fire. >This little guy has some serious potential. >"I told the princess what I found and asked if she would like to see you." "Excellent." >"However, I never caught your name." >Now there was a slight problem with that. >You had many names. >Your birth name, Needles Kane. >Your headline, Sweet Tooth. >But to yourself? >You don't fucking care. >To you, you had no name. >In fact... >You crouch down eye level and smile through your mask. >With a small laugh you tell her, "Call me, Anonymous." >"Oh, splendid! It's nice to meet you, Anonymous." >She held out a hoof to shake your hand. >You stood up and left her hanging. >She lowered her hoof with a 'hmph'. >"Maybe you could stand to learn a thing or two about friendship or manners." >Maybe she could stand to learn the feel of your fist squeezing her heart. -- >The dragon, Spike, suddenly burped up a scroll in a burst of flames. >The unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, read it and order Spike to take another letter. >The dragon sent it off and the unicorn turned to you. >"Princess Celestia requests an audience with you immediately. Tomorrow, in fact." >Very, very good. >"She needs to see you personally to ask you questions to learn more about you and this curse." >Hmm... that could prove irritating. "Thank you, Twilight. I eagerly await our meeting." >You smiled beneath your mask. >Suddenly, the library door swings open and a pink pony comes bouncing in and right up to you. >"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, and you're new in town! Do you know what that means?" >Holy fuck! >She was more annoying than the other one! >With a yell, you throw your fist around to backhand her. >She easily dodges and moves in front of you. >You bring your arms up and then down to try to hammerfist her in her happy fucking face. >Again she dodges. >"Teeheehee! This is fun! You sure are a playful one!" >You try to hook her, or at least grab her mane. >You miss by a longshot. >"You're a fun one! You even gotta happy clown mask and your so into it, you have magic hair!" >She goes to play with your 'hair' before you grab her leg and throw her across the room. >"WEEEE!!!" >She gracefully lands and bounces back over to you. >"We need to throw you a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party!" >Hmm... a welcoming party with all the residents of Ponyville in one spot? >Arson would be way to easy and boring. >You would have to wait and see what you had to work with. -- >That pink one would be a great challenge. >You can see it in her eyes. >She's buried a monster behind a facade of smiles and happiness. >If you could bring this side of her out, it would make for a glorious battle. >She gets up to your face, but you don't try anything this time. "Sure. Why not?" >She squees with cheers of happiness. >So very soon, dear. >So very soon... >The pink pony races out of the library. >"That was Pinkie Pie," said Twilight. "She's a little crazy, that one." >Ah, so the unicorn confirms it. "I will need a place to sleep tonight. I think I will sleep in your bed tonight." >"Oh, but my bed isn't large enough to accomodate us both." "Looks like you're finding somewhere else to sleep." >"But it's my room!" >Without another word, you go upstairs and find her room without a problem. >You lie down on top of the covers and pass out immediately. >Twilight walked up and tried to kick you off by pushing you, but she couldn't budge you. >Her horn started to glow, but Spike stopped her. >"Maybe it's best NOT to wake him," he said. >"Hmph! Fine." pouted Twilight, who walked and lied down on the smaller guest bed. -- >The alarm clock sounded with the morning sun. >You promptly threw it out the window, to the unapproval of Twilight. >"Now why would you do that! I need that!" "Shut up." >You roll over and try to go back to sleep. >"You are very rude, you know that?" "Thank you. I take pride in my work." >"Work? You mean your special talent?" >She started getting giddy over this new information. >She hopped on the bed and put her face close to yours. >"Do you have a cutie mark? What is it? Does it correspond to your special talent?" >Oh, this was just too perfect. >You sat up and faced her. "Do you really wanna know?" >"Yes." "Is it KILLING you to know the truth?" >"Yes, yes, yes!" >You smile beneath your mask. "Heheheh... Very well." >You quickly reach out and grab her throat, squeezing tightly. >"Spike..." she whispered out. >She can still talk. >You must not be squeezing hard enough. >You tighten your grip and move her face close to you. "Just remember, you asked for it." -- >You grab her horn with your other hand. >With the hand that was around her throat, you promptly punch her in the face, stunning her. >You grab her horn with both hands. >Using her as a baseball bat, you swing her into one of the wooden supports. >The sickening crack of her spine against the pillar was music to your ears. >She crumples to the floor. >You grab her by the tail and drag her through the library, to the basement. >You toss her limp body onto a table, knocking the many books to the floor. >You don't bother tying her down. >It's not like she's going anywhere fast. >Looking around the room, you try to figure out a clever way to finish this bitch that you haven't done before. >There were vials and beakers filled with unknown chemicals. >But you already killed a university professor with volatile chemicals... >Perhaps you could shove the various vials down her throat? >You look down at the floor and pick up a large tome. >You don't care about what it's about, but it is a rather heavy book. >You shrug and flip the table on Twilight. >You stand over her, the book high above your head. >You bring it down with as much force as you can muster, slamming it against her skull. >You repeat several times, blood pouring from her face and ears. >This is boring. >You decide to say 'fuck it' and just end her here. >You set the book down over her broken skull and stomp down as hard as you can. >The satisfying crunch of her skull coupled with the splatter of brain matter makes this a very beautiful moment to behold. >It wasn't very original, but you got a laugh out of it. -- >Fuck cleaning up the mess. >You can leave it for the bitch of a dragon slave. >You walk back upstairs and take a quick look around. >You could go for a daytime stroll. >But you hated the fucking sun. >And other people too for that matter. >Ponies, people, what's the difference? >The staring, the whispers, the rest of the bullshit they love to talk about. >You want to slaughter them all. >There was a knock on the door and you unsheathed your knife from your waist. >You crept over to the door and peeked out the window. >The police... >More like armored guards. >Law enforcement nonetheless. >You will enjoy painting the library with their blood. >You cracked the door and barely poked your face out. "What do you want." >The guard at the door was taken aback by your odd appearance. >When he regained his bearing he asked, >"Are you the one Twilight Sparkle wrote the princess about?" "Yes I am. What's it to you?" >You gripped your knife tighter, ready to lash out and jam the blade into his eye. >"We are your escort to the castle. The princess requests an audience with you immediately. Twilight Sparkle is also to accompany you." >You get a laugh out of this, but suppress it quickly. "She's gone right now. You just missed her. I don't think she'll be back anytime soon." -- >"Very well. Since this is a matter of utmost urgency, we cannot afford to wait for her. Please board the chariot and we will be on our way." >You sheath your knife and open the door. >You step out into the sunlight, revealing your whole self to the two guards. >Their eyes widen, but they turn around immediately and hook themselves up to the chariot. >When you settle into the chariot, the two guards spread their wings and take off. >You thought about taking one of these for yourself. >You will need a new vehicle after all as your beloved ice cream truck did not follow you to this god-forsaken place. >You lie back and doze off while you wait to arrive at this princess's palace. >Your sleep being interupted by that fucking pony's alarm clock. >You dream of a future in this world. >A beautiful future where the streets run red and fire falls from the sky. >You are an unknown in this world. >A nobody. >You worked so fucking hard to make sure you were reknowneds the world's greatest serial killer. >You worked even harder to ensure that title was never taken away from you. >Looks like you will need to start all over again. >This infuriated you to no end. >It's not like you have your whole life ahead of you to start all over again. >You awoke in a rage and slammed your fist down on the side of the chariot. >"You okay back there?" asked one of the guards. "Just fine." >You will need to work faster than before to make sure your goals aren't destroyed by this little teleporting incident. >What better way to become famous than to take the life from their beloved princess? -- [PRESENT] >You peer out through the boarded windows of your 'home'. >The moon is out now. >It's funny how early the moon comes out. >You may have played a small part in that, but who gives a shit? >Night was your time. >The time for run free through the city. >The time to play games with all the little boys and girls. >You set your scythe down, newly cleaned and sharpened. >You hang it up on your wall of toys. >You contemplate which ones you should bring with you tonight. >The meat hook and chain was always good for a laugh. >And very useful for when those slippery little bastards try to run. >You can't decide if you should bring hedge clippers or a hacksaw for the ones with the wings. >You will bring both. >Combined with the hook, not even the pegasi can escape. >This is too perfect. >You coil the chain of the meat hook around your body. >You carry the hedge clippers in one hand, the hack saw in the other. >And, as always, your trusty knife strapped to your belt. >As the large bay door slowly rolls open, the moonlight poured into your face. >You took a large breath of the night air and began to walk. -- >You cared not for who saw you. >They wouldn't do anything but scream and run if they did. >And you hope they did. >The thrill of the hunt is one of your favorite parts of this game. >And how could they not see you? >The old man's fucking curse illuminated you like god-damned street lamp. >Through the fog, you saw two ponies taking a night stroll. >You would think they would have learned by now not to be out at night. >One of them was a pegasus. >The other, a unicorn. >You fucking HATED unicorns. >Their magic was the most annoying thing you have ever experienced. >They could seriously hurt you, had they tried anything other than telekinesis. >Had they known any offensive spells, you would have a serious challenge here. >Fortunately for you, you like a challenge. >You drop your tools and grab your chain. >You begin to wind it up, spinning it round and round. >The hook and chain distort the air around it's path, making a slight wind. >You creep closer, your back against the wall of the building. >The cursed flames atop your head gave you away. >Both ponies turned towards you as you let your hook fly. -- >The hook flew past the pegasus, and just past the unicorn. >You yank back on the chain, driving the hook into the back of the head of the unicorn. >The pegasus started to scream. >You take a step back, regrip the chain, and yank back hard once more. >The unicorn's horn rammed itself through the back of the throat of the unicorn, silencing her. >You held the chain in one hand as you casually walked over to them. >The pegasus spread her wings to try to fly away. >She flapped as hard as she could, trying to lift off with the unicorn still attached. >Unable to breathe very hard, she collapsed to the ground, exhausted. >You stop walking towards her and turn around. >You almost forgot your tools. >How silly of you. >Chain still in hand, you reached down and grabbed both tools with your free hand. >Taking your time, you chuckle as you see her try to crawl away, whispering cries of help to anypony who can hear her. >Too bad she is alone now. >Well, not completely alone. >Her friend is here with her. >In body, not in spirit. >But what's the difference? -- >You crouch and watch her crawl some more. >Like a bug with its hind legs crushed. >You shrug and drive your hedge clippers through the base of each wing. >She siezes in pain, unable to scream. >You dangle the hacksaw back and forth in front of her face. >The look in her eyes is absolutely adorable. >You dont cut her wings of though. >Instead, you rip the hedge clippers from her back and begin to trim the feathers from her wings. >She begins to cry silent tears as you work. >Stupid fucking wings. >You hated everything about these ponies. >The colors, the wings, the magic... >Just thinking about this made you seeth with anger. >With a shout, you drive the clippers through her back and pierced her heart, pinning her to the concrete. >With a great amount of force, you spread the clippers, effectively tearing open her chest cavity. >Her split heart hung out just a bit, but enough for you to notice. >You sigh and collect your tools. >The pegasus was determined, but proved useless to escape. >The unicorn died instantly. >How infuriating. >You didn't even get a chance to fuck with her like you did the pegasus. >Weak fucking ponies. >Whistling as you walk, maybe you can find an unattended ice cream stall. >Or one with a vendor, it did not matter which. >The only difference being the vendor's gore stuffed in the freezer. >After a very slow night, you finally return home. >Only 8 kills. >Fucking pathetic. >You should've raided that motel rather than pass it by. >Maybe then you would've gotta more quarry. >You clean and hang up your various tools of destruction. >There was still some time before the sun rose. >But early to bed, early to rise, you suppose. >You're asleep when your head hits the pillow. -- [PAST] >The thud from the chariot landing woke you up. >You would be pissed, but you had the greatest dream. >It was of you as a child, making your first kill. >It was the mother fucker from your school who liked to bully you, who thought he was a tough guy. >You knocked his ass unconcious and dragged him down to your basement one day after school. >He struggled and begged for his life. "You're not so tough now, are ya?" >You laughed in his face and raised your knife. "You know, nothing quite brings out the zest for life in a person like the thought of their impending death. Wouldn't you agree?" >Before he could respond you started carving his flesh, careful not to kill him in the process. >You cut with the skill and precision of a trained surgeon. >He cried and yelled in pain, but a nice poke in the lungs silenced him. >Eventually, you grew tired of your little game and just settled for some tent spikes through the eyes. >From this moment, it was obvious you had found your calling in life. >You quickly developed an insatiable thirst for blood. >In the years that followed, countless mountains of bodies had piled up. >The police could never capture you, not matter how hard they tried. >There was the one time you were almost executed, but that was a fluke. -- >"Welcome to Canterlot Castle," called back one of the pegasus guards. >You hop over the edge of the chariot rather than open the door. >It was no ice cream truck, but it still got you where you needed to go. >You miss Sweet Tooth. >Perhaps you will meet again someday. >The guards order you to follow them. "Don't tell me what to do." >They look at each other and roll their eyes. >You follow them, all the while trying to figure out a death suitable for this kind of disrespect. >They led you from the landing platform, through the massive hallways lined with equally massive pillars, and finally to a giant, regal door. >The two guards at the door snapped to attention and your escorts pushed it open. >The throne room was enormous. >Way too large for any creature to possibly need. >This bitch of a princess sure was greedy with her space. >A large, white horse with wings and a horn sat on a throne at the opposite end of the room. >Your escorts led you down a red carpet and bowed before her. >She raised an eyebrow at you when you decided to stand there and cross your arms. -- >"So you must be the cursed creature my student, Twilight Sparkle, wrote to me about. Am I correct?" "You are." >She stared at you, her eyes narrowed. >She was studying you. >Your alien form, your mask, and the cursed flames. >Her horn began to glow. >Your... Fucking... HEAD!!! "GET THE FUCK OUT!" >You mentally force her from your head. >That fucking bitch just tried to read your mind. >She must have saw enough, as her face was stricken with horror. >"I'm sorry... But I needed to know your past in order to better understand this curse." "Did you get a good look?" you growl through gritted teeth. >Your fists were clenched, ready to strangle this fucking thing with it's own intestines. >"I did," she stood and started walking towards you. "And I have seen what you are, what you've done." >She walked up and stared you in the eyes. >You were eye level with her. >"I should destroy you here and now. But I am willing to offer you a rebuttal." "Are you now?" you ask with a playful tone. >Her voice grew very serious. >The guards themselves back out of the room, terrified as to what could happen next. >"I can bring an end to all of your pain. I can rid you of this curse." "Can you now?" -- >"In the few seconds I was in your head, I saw your childhood, and just past your execution." >She didn't see any of your time in Equestria yet. >She had no idea. >"I know a spell that can rid you of this evil." >Her horn began to glow. >"Should you accept, your curse will be over." >"But if you ever return to you killing ways, the curse will come back to haunt you." >Her voice grew more powerful, with an ominous second voice adding to it. >"Especially my little ponies. And I assure you, there will be no second chances." >She lowered her horn to your forehead. >You had to decide. >It was the freedom to live the rest of your life the way you want to, or a boring one. >It took you all of ten seconds. >You reached up and grabbed her horn with both hands. >Lets face it boys and girls, a man needs to have his priorities straight. >You snapped her horn off without much effort. >Celestia reared back in surprise. >She was too fucking trusting of complete strangers. >Especially one where she knows of their violent past. >Sparks flew from the nub that was left of her horn. >You spun the horn around in your hand, playing with it. >You finally clench your fist around it, and with a step forward, drove it into the side of her neck. -- >You killed Celestia as well as you had ever killed anyone. >You extacted the horn from her throat. >Blood spurted like a fountain from the wound. >Her horn matched your knife in it's sharpness. >A nice weapon. >But it was magic. >Magic like those fucking unicorns. >And you will have no part of it. >You held it in front of her eyes, and threw it in the fireplace on the other side of the room. >"NO!!!" screamed Celestia as her horn sparked, fizzled, and popped as it burned. >The sun itself seemed to flicker with the burning of her horn. >Not your problem. >You drew your knife and stabbed up through the bottom of her jaw with it. >The tip of the blade barely poked through the top of her snout. >You lean in close to her and whisper in her ear. "In case you haven't figured it out yet, I respectfully decline you offer." >You withdraw your blade and spin around, slashing her throat. >She staggers around for a good minute, trying to breathe and splattering blood all over the room. >It was hilarious. >Eventually, she fell to her knees and then toppled over, dead at last. >You gave her an applause for the wonderful show. >You walked over and sat in her throne for a few minutes. >You could easily take over this pathetic pony kingdom, but you had better plans. >There was a whole castle of guards who would want your blood for what you did to their princess. >Let them come.
