Applejack the Ripper

>BANG

>BANG, BANG, BANG.

>BANG BANG BANG

You wake up to your house being slammed at from the front. Why does this shit have to happen so early in the morning. You groggily slide yourself off your couch, remembering that you were so drunk last night, you never made it to bed. But back to the matter at hand, someone wanted you to open the door. You unlock your 5 dead bolts and swing the door open to find a purple unicorn.

‘Twilight, you realise how early it is?’ you say, rubbing your eyes.

‘One, its noon. Two, get up. You’re needed.’ She says, barging into your house.

You look at her, and nod. Running to the shower, you start to think again. The only pace in your house you can think properly.

You landed in the heart of P0nyville about a month ago, and most thought of you as a monster. Hell, the shit humans did made you think you were a monster as well. War for oil, killing for fun, rape of the innocent. And the lawyers, oh god did you hate lawyers. A bunch of money hungry fucks, all of them. When they acquitted the nigger who killed your wife, your Nicole, you lost it. You couldn’t believe the jury believed the kike saying his client was just a kid. You lost it.

You planned it out perfectly, watching the jew’s schedule for a month. Kidnapping his money hungry ass and loading him into the trunk of the car. You drove the car to the bridge just outside of town, the river raging under it. No one was going to find this cunt, and they won’t find you either. You planted your foot, and drove off the bridge, accepting your death. The water enveloped you, and your final thought was ‘See you soon Nicole.’

 

Your eyes shoot open as you lie in the middle  of a dirt street, buildings of pastel colour surround you.

‘If this shit is heaven, I want hell’ you say, lying there.

You started to pat down your clothes. Yep, still damp as crap. Your jacket still had your wallet in it. Hopefully the lawyer didn’t find his way here too. Oh wait, you’re not in jew heaven. LOL!

‘Excuse me?’ came a voice.

You don’t even bother looking at who it is. ‘Yeah.’

‘Why are you lying in the middle of the street?’

‘I don’t have a clue. I assume this is some sort of afterlife.’

‘Oh, okay then. What are you?’

You get annoyed at this, so you stand up. ‘What do you mean “what am-‘

You turn around to see a purple unicorn…around 3 foot tall. Can’t help but to stare at her.

‘…oh shit.’ You mutter out.

‘I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. You just landed there, and I was about to check on you when you moved. Who or what are you?’

‘I…I know I’m a human. Name…’ you smack your head with your palm ‘I don’t know.’

‘Well, do you need help? I can read your memories if you like?’

Before you can answer her, her horn starts to glow and you feel a tingle in your mind. And as quickly as it started, it finished. The look on her face said it all, a mixture of utter fear and utter disgust. Her horn started to glow again, a ball of energy formed at the end, and she backed away slowly.

‘What…what are you?’ she said.

You don’t answer, deciding that running for your life is a better option. Your final words were not your best.

‘…FUCK YOUR COUCH!’

 

You ran as fast as you could, your primate instincts kicking in and you jumped fences to get away. If you weren’t running for your life, you would be proud of your assassin skills. In the distance you can hear the unicorn scream, making other p0nies to exit their homes to see a shaved monkey run from her. While looking back at her, you don’t notice the gardening stand in front of you.

Hitting it at full force, you trip your ass over, knocking over hand held shovels and rakes. Jumping up from the ground, you snatch a few tools. You might need to fight your way out, and they might help. Magic bolts shot from behind you, and you continue running for your life. leap from the ground, latching on to the guttering of a roof and climbed up. You can see the edge of town from this height, beyond it a large forest. You kept running, your legs burning in pain and lungs asking to die. You leap another building gap, you were so close to your goal.

‘YOU’RE GOING DOWN!!’ you hear behind you.

You turn to see a blue p0ny FLYING at you. You were about 5 feet from the next gap, but she was only 2 feet from you. You thought of what to do, and smiled.

Jumping down into a slide, you drag yourself along the roof tiles. This threw the Pegasus off, but it corrected fairly fast. Hovering on the next building, blocking your way, the Pegasus showed a massive grin. Too bad your smile never fell.

Digging a handheld rake into the roof, you slow down just enough to drop down the gap between houses. You land on the ground, and turned to run when you were hit by a flash of purple light and you fall to the ground.

 

You awake to something hitting your chest, and pain erupting from your chest. You try to clutch your chest in pain, only to find them shackled above you.

‘APPLEJACK, I SAID STOP IT!’ came a voice, the purple unicorn.

You open your eyes, and notice you have been strapped to a wall in the centre of town, surrounded by p0nies. There was the purple unicorn, along with a white one; the blur Pegasus with colourful mane standing next to a yellow one with a pink mane; and a couple of normal p0nies, an orange one with a hat, and a pink one with a massive smile.

‘Now Twi, he needs tah be punished.’ Said the orange one ‘And ah am the one tah do it.’

She turns to buck your chest again, but you boot her square in the ass, sending her flying. She jumps up and charges at you, only to be surrounded by a purple aura.

‘No fun fighting something that can fight back, ey?’ you say, coughing up blood.

‘Just try me, Ah’ll kick yur flank again.’ She retorts.

‘Oh, and will this be while I’m awake or do I need to be asleep again?’

‘Enough you two.’ The purple one screams. ‘Now, I want to talk to you.’

‘I wanted to talk to you too, until you tried to attack me.’

‘You tried to hurt her.’ Jumped in the blue one.

‘I WAS TRY TO…’ you take a breath ‘Sorry, I was trying to talk to her but she read my mind and screamed. I was afraid when she prepared an attack, so I ran. I never once thought of hurting someone who I thought wanted to help.’

All turned to the purple one, and she was gone in a flash of light.

 

As you watch the rest of the p0nies walk away, the blue one and the orange one give you evil looks and whisper to each other. You decide if you have to hang here, you needed to sleep. It takes a while, but you eventually nod off. You dream that you were back on earth, Nicole sitting across from you, and you want to cry. You wanted this to be real.

You are awoken by the sound of wings beating. Your eyes can’t see a lot in the darkness, but you can make out the silhouette of a p0ny flying about 10 feet from you.

‘Think you’re funny, monkey?’ comes a voice.

‘Ah the blue one. Come to beat me up in a /fair/ fight?’

‘If Twilight says you are a threat, then I am going to make sure you don’t see the morning.’

The Pegasus swoops down, and flies for your chest. You couldn’t bring your leg up to stop her, so you did the next best thing. Lifting yourself with the chains, you watch the Pegasus get closer. At the last minute you jump, and she hits the brick wall behind you. Her screams of pain wake up the entire town, and in no time flat you are surrounded by an angry mob. As they yelled obscenities at you, you notice the purple unicorn push her way through the crowd towards you.

‘What is going on here?’ she asked the now bleeding Pegasus.

‘He attacked me. He kicked me in the face and broke my nose.’

‘Is this true?’ she turns to you.

‘Do what you did before. You tell me.’ You say.

 

Her horn glows for a second, and she turns to her friend.

‘Rainbow Dash, you say he kicked you in the face. Did you do anything to provoke him?’

‘NO! You said it yourself, he’s a monster.’ Rainbow Dash replies.

‘So you didn’t say “If Twilight says you are a threat, then I am going to make sure you don’t see the morning.”?’

Rainbow Dash’s face goes red, and she flies off. Twilight turns to the mob.

‘Alright, you heard her. She attacked him and lied. Go home everyp0ny.’

As the crowd disperses, she glares at you.

‘If I let you down, will you attack me?’

‘I could ask the same thing.’ You reply.

She sighs, and her horn lights up. You hear a click, and your bonds come free, allowing you to drop your tired arms.

‘Come with me, I want to talk to you.’

You consider your options, but decide to walk with her. She leads you through the town, and you notice how most of the p0nies are still giving you dirty looks, except for the pink one from earlier. She is still inside a building, but she has a massive smile on her face and waves like a mad man. You wave back, feeling warmth inside you. Eventually you find yourself outside a large tree with doors and windows.

Twilight enters and motions for you to follow. The feeling of nervousness has disappeared by this time; whether you stopped caring if you die, or if you truly trusted her. She sits down on a chair, and levitates a chair for you.

‘I’d like to ask you a few questions.’ Twilight said.

‘Well how about some introductions?’

She thinks for a moment before nodding. ‘I’m Twilight Sparkle, student of Princess Celestia.’

‘Hello Twilight Sparkle, My name is Anonymous.’

 

‘Anonymous? Hmm, interesting name.’ Twilight levitates a roll of parchment and a quill before scribbling stuff down. ‘I thought you didn’t know your name.’

‘Well I hit my head.’ You say, observing your surroundings. Books everywhere, a library maybe. ‘A concussion mixed with the shock of waking up here made me forget temporarily.’

‘Okay, and why did you run after I read your mind?’

You chuckle a bit ‘Are you kidding me? You were ready to hurt me. I had no intention of killing anything, but you started this. I was fairly afraid for my life. Why did you lie to your friends?’ Twilight looked at her hooves. ‘Fine, I can just go to your mentor, the Princess. I think she would have a field day finding out her student wanted to shoot first, ask questions later and lie to her friends.’

‘You couldn’t?! You don’t even know how to get to Canterlot.’ She finally says, staring daggers at you.

‘Oh, but you just gave me the name. I can now go to Canterlot and request a presence with her, discussing her student’s actions.’

‘I…I was afraid. Usually I am level headed, but what I saw-‘

‘What did you see?’

‘Rage. Chaos. Creatures like you being hurt.’

‘That’s my world. I will admit, my final act on my planet was not of peace.’ She looked at you with intense staring. ‘I…I finally lost it. I lost my wife, a woman who was once my best friend, and the person who committed the crime was let off because his lawyer took a bribe. I took revenge on that lawyer and ended up here.’

 

Twilight’s horn began to glow again. ‘Nicole, right?’

‘Yeah. You can see how much I loved her, right? Only to have her shot in a robbery.’ You looked down, feeling the tears forming ‘I hated my world for what it did to people, and how do I show it? By doing the same thing. I am a monster Miss Sparkle.’

Twilight looks at you, once she thought you were a scary monster, now just a sobbing ball in her house.

‘I’m…I’m sorry for attacking you, and I’m sorry for hanging you in the middle of town.’ She says, walking over to you. ‘It wasn’t the best course of action, and I shouldn’t have let my emotions get ahead of me.’

She feels your arms wrap around her, and she flinches until she realises you are just hugging her.

‘I forgive you.’

Your stomach growls as you let go, and you feel a bit embarrassed.

‘Would you like something to eat, Anonymous?’

‘Yes please, but please just call me Anon.’

‘Okay Anon. What do you eat?’

‘Umm… fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, meat.’ You slap your hand over your mouth immediately. She looks at you with shock. ‘I’m sorry, I was supposed to ease into that and I didn’t want to scare you and I’m sorry, please don’t kill me.’

‘Anon… It’s okay. I just don’t have…Wait!’

She runs into the kitchen and you follow. She runs to the fridge, opening it and pulls out a large plate.

‘Spike, my assistant, he sometimes eat fish. You can eat fish, right?’

‘Uh, yeah.’ She hands you the plate, and walks out. You follow, and have a smell of the fish. It looks like whiting, but smells beautiful. ‘Thank you Twilight. This… Well, it means a lot to me.’

You give her a warm smile, and she smiles back.

 

You spend the entire night talking to Twilight about both your worlds. You don’t really talk a lot about Earth, but you find out as much as you can about Equestria. You also find out about the p0nies who were at the makeshift trial. You were happy to find out about Pinkie Pie, the only one who wasn’t afraid of you.

As you finish your fish, there was a knock at the door. You decide to step out of the room, giving Twilight her privacy with her guest. As you sit in the kitchen, you hear a very familiar voice.

‘TWILIGHT! That monster from yesterday, it escaped.’ Rainbow Dash says.

‘Rainbow, I think-‘

‘No Twilight. I am sorry about last night, but there’s more. He killed Rose.’

‘WHAAAA!!!’

‘Yeah, somep0ny found her on the edge of town. He really did a number on her.’

Twilight looked scared ‘Are you absolutely sure it was Ano- I mean him?’

‘I… No, I can’t say that I’m sure. But I mean, it stands to reason. He is missing, and now Roseluck is dead.’

Twilight looks at the kitchen, unable to speak. You know what to do, and you hope Twilight doesn’t faint before she can explain. You step out of the kitchen to the surprise of Rainbow Dash. She pushes Twilight out of the way.

‘Watch out Twi! It’s back to kill another p0ny!!’ she says. Rainbow leaps at you, baring her teeth, only to be held back by a force field.

‘RAINBOW DASH! Anon was here all night talking to me. He wasn’t out of my sight for a second, and if you have a problem with it,’ Twilight physically grabs Rainbow’s face ‘You have to deal with me!’

 

Rainbow shoots looks from you to Twilight, before settling on you, growling.

‘WHAT DID YOU DO TO TWILIGHT?!?!’ she screams.

Twilight sighs heavily, and her horn glows again. You notice her eyes going white, as Rainbow wobbles. When Twilight stops glowing, Rainbow shakes her head.

‘What did you do?’ Rainbow asks.

‘I transferred my memories to you. Now you can see everything that happened in the past 24 hours, and how I felt. I was wrong to attack Anon, and I was wrong to lie to you all. It is my fault that he ran away, but it still doesn’t mean you can attack him. Now I think it’s time you apologise to him.’

Rainbow looks at you, and tears fill her eyes.

‘Look, I am not forcing you to apologise.’ You say ‘But, there is something more important at hand. There is a dead p0ny, and since I have been acquitted, do you mind if I have a look at it? I might be able to help…I mean if you want to accept my help.’

Rainbow looks at you, wiping away tears. ‘Even after I said and did all those mean things?’

‘Look, I hate murder, and I will do my best to help.’

Rainbow smiles, and leads you and Twilight outside and through the town. You could see a large group of p0nies. As you got closer, you could smell fresh blood. Rainbow pushed her way through the crowd, and you tried to as well. One p0ny gasped and fainted, and everyp0ny turned to look at you, immediately taking up defensive poses.

‘HEY!’ Rainbow yelled. ‘Beat up the monkey later. He says he can help.’

They all stared at you, but split down the centre to let you through. You walk towards Rainbow and gag from the site in front of you.

 

Lying on the ground in front of you was a cream coloured p0ny, her normally red hair was splattered with blood. You crouch down next to her and look her over. Lifting an eye lid, you see she has a burst blood vessel.

‘She was choked to death.’ You say. ‘Her throat was slit from left to right, away from the killer.’

You hear a gasp and somep0ny falling over. You look down the body to see an incision on the right side of the abdomen. You take a deep breath and slide your hand into the poor p0ny’s body. After a small amount of feeling around, you notice what is missing. Taking your hand out, and wiping it on your shirt, you notice a small pool of blood by the flank. Lifting her leg, you notice the tattoo has been removed.

‘Oh god…’ Twilight said, walking up next to you.

‘Yeah, the killer removed her liver and tattoo.’

‘Cutie Mark.’ Twilight corrected.

‘Not so “cutie” anymore.’ You turn to Twilight ‘Twilight, can you contact the Princess as fast as possible, tell her what has happened and about me. Make sure you tell her I am not hostile, that I am trying to help.’

Twilight gives you a nod, before running off. You look over the body again and shook your head. You stood up, and turned around to the scared p0nies. You take off your jacket, and cover her up.

‘Excuse me everyp0ny. I’m sorry if you are afraid, but I didn’t do this. I don’t need you to believe me now, but I do need you to leave, unless you are related to this po… Miss Rose.’

 

All the p0nies disperse except for 2 pink p0nies with flower cutie marks, one with a green mane and 2 daisies and the other with yellow mane and 3 lilies.

‘You are family?’ you say

‘Yes,’ said the green maned one ‘I’m Daisy and this is Lily.’

‘Umm… I am sorry for your loss, I really am. My wife was killed a few years ago, and I know how it feels.’ They give you a nod, still crying ‘Can you tell me what happened last night?’

‘Well after the commotion with you and Rainbow Dash,’ Lily said ‘We were walking home, when Rose said she wanted to talk to Twilight Sparkle. She said she didn’t believe you were a monster. We waved her off and walked home.’

‘When we woke up,’ Daisy continued ‘Rose wasn’t home, so we went to look for her. We came here when everyp0ny was crowding around. And…and…’ They broke down crying.

‘I…I know it might not seem like much, but I promise I will find the p0ny who did this. You will have closure.’

They give you a nod, and walk off into town. You feel sick, p0nies who were supposed to be so peaceful, were they able to do this? You were so deep in thought that you almost don’t see the huge flash of light in front of you and something pick you up from the ground.

 

You look at the creature holding you in the air. It was a fully grown horse with both wings and a horn. Her gleaming white coat and pastel rainbow mane shone brightly in the morning light.

‘You have 60 seconds to tell me why I shouldn’t banish you to the moon right now.’ She says in a most regal voice.

‘You must be Princess Celestia.’ She does not budge ‘Sorry. I am Anonymous, I landed in this town only yesterday. I had your student send for you because I believe you would want to know of a subjects murder.’

‘And how is it when a creature coming from a world of chaos turns up in this town, and then one of my little p0nies turns up murdered?’

‘I don’t know your highness. I was with Miss Sparkle all night talking to her. I had no role in this, I actually came out to look over the body.’

‘How can I believe you?’ her magical grip tightened.

‘Read my mind…See I am not lying to you. I only want to help.’

She drops you on the ground, and you feel your mind being invaded. You sit quietly on the ground, hoping not to anger her. She eventually stops scowling at you, and helps you to her feet.

‘I’m sorry about that, I must protect my subjects.’ She says.

‘It’s okay Princess, I don’t blame you.’

‘What can you tell me?’ She says walking back towards the body. You place a hand on her shoulder to stop her.

‘It’s not a pretty site. Whoever did it has a knowledge of medicine. They were able to suffocate her before slicing her throat open away from them.’

 

‘How can you tell?’ She says, narrowing her eyes and preparing a spell.

‘The eyes were red, meaning she died of suffocation. She burst a blood vessel. The blood pooled around her head, which means her throat was slit while she was on the ground. When this was done, they sliced her open and removed her liver and cutie mark, most likely as a trophy’

Tears welled up in Celestia’s eyes ‘W-w-why would somep0ny do this?’

‘I don’t know Princess, but I can promise if you give me the chance, I will try to find the p0ny responsible.’

Celestia looked at you, tears still in her eyes. ‘You would do that?’

‘Princess, I hated my world because of the corruption and chaos it caused. I will not allow my presence to affect those around me to kill. I will find this p0ny, and I will make it up to all p0nies.’

The Princess smiled at you. She agreed to allow you to stay, having a house and small office built for you in exchange for being the town guard and detective of this case. Anything you needed, you would write to the princess, and she would grant it.

Your month in P0nyville wasn’t all that bad. There weren’t any murders in that time, but you didn’t let your guard down. You still had problems with Applejack. After she apologised to you, she went full spectrum on emotions, falling on lust for you. The daily rape attempts were getting annoying, but you liked having more friends. Especially Pinkie, she is the best.

 

As you step out of the bathroom, you feel refreshed and ready for the bickering of P0nyville.

‘Come ON!’ Twilight said ‘You need to come now.’

You run out the door with Twilight, and head into town.

‘So, what’s up? Fluttershy being bullied by the merchants.’ You say

‘Anon… It happened again. There has been another murder.’

You run faster, and Twilight keeps pace. Who could it be, you thought, Daisy? Lily? Oh god, please not that muffin mare. She was always awesome. You see the group immediately and push your way through.

‘Alright, seriously you guys. Back away, I got this.’

You look over the body, which was covered in a white clothe. You couldn’t tell who it was at first, but as you lifted the sheet, you saw the cutie mark. It was her, your friend. It was a triple-

‘NOOOOO!!!!!! ‘ you screamed as you burst into tears.
