"Well my friends, now is the time to ensure that my plan is properly put into action. Those pitiful ponies won't know what they are dealing with. Now...my little Grunts and Brute, let's start our game shall we?" The mysterious voice chuckles, his voice drowned by the sounds of growling and moaning.
Chapter 1: Applejack
"What in the hay...?" The orange mare opened her eyes, finding herself in a dark room only lit up by the sun shining from a lone window in the corner of the room. In front of the bed that she is laying on, there is a table with books and an unlit lantern; there is a chair in front of the table that appears to be destroyed. Next to the table lies a chest and a candelabra with candles that seem to be already lit. 'Was somepony already here before me?' she thought as she stood up on her hooves and carefully got off the bed. She trotted to the center of the room, observing the area around her. As she looked around, she saw a wardrobe beside the bed that she woke up from and next to the wardrobe there was a dresser with all three drawers taken out. There is only one door in the room that seemed to be the only exit.
"Well...I suppose I should take mah leavin' now. But first, ah better take that lantern over there." She trots over to the table and picks up the lantern with her mouth. 'It seems to already have oil, I don't know how or why but I should probably leave and not worry about it.' She puts away the lantern in her saddle and starts to head out for the door until....
"Don't leave so soon," a voice whispered in her head. "Check in the wardrobe and chest before you leave, you'll probably need it."
"What the...." Applejack whips around to find that no one is anywhere near her. "Who was there?" She recalled what the voice said, so she trots over to the wardrobe and finds four bottles of oil. "Well I'll be darned.... What else did it say? In the chest...right?" She goes over to the chest and opens it, she finds three bottles of what appears to be a potion. She reads the label on the bottle. "Laudanum.... What in the hay is that...?"
She shrugs it off and returns to the door. She pushes the door open and finds herself above some stairs in a dark corridor. There seems to be two hallways in the distance, one hallway to the left leading to a different room and a hallway going forward, leading to a door. Applejack slowly descends the stairs, deciding to go forward and enter the door. As she finished descending the stairs, she trots forward a few steps when...
What appeared in front of the door at the end of the corridor was indescribable; it was unlike anything that she'd seen before. It charged at her at a fast pace, as if it wanted her. She let out a low gasp, taking a few steps back as the monster kept getting closer. It was about to strike with its claws until it disappeared right in front of her. Her whole body is trembling, the fear stopping her movements like a cockatoo's glare. She shakes her head, trying to recollect what she had seen, and keeps moving on. As she nears the door, she hears a loud moaning sound coming from another part of the building. "That doesn't sound like anypony I know...." She quickly trots her way to the door.
Applejack bucks the door open, slamming it against the wall and looks around the room. There is a dining table in the middle of the room with a few seats overturned. The left of the room has a door, leading to a different area of the building.To the right of the room stands a wardrobe and two dressers, both of their drawers also taken out. She trots over to the dresser and mutters, "Somepony seems to be in this building besides me...but who...?" She shakes her head. "No...the real question is...why am I here? Where am I?"
Off in the distance, she hears a door being smashed into bits. A monster's moaning noise echoes throughout the halls. Applejack turns to the unopened door and sees that the door is now being smashed into bits as well. "Oh no!" The door breaks open, with two monsters approaching her. One monster being a humanoid being with seemingly pieced together bodies. Stitches and open scar-like wounds cover their pasty and stained skin. Their heads are malformed, with a distended jaw that hangs over their torso, stretched to an absurd length. The other monster is another humanoid being with its head split open in an almost floral shape, with teeth lining the inside of the opening along with a single eye. It wears a leg-less metal tunic and has metal plates and nails that connect its arms and legs at its joints. In place of a left forearm they have a metal shaft with an attached blade.
The monsters charge at her like the first one did, only this time they aren't disappearing. Applejack tries to run around the table to avoid the monsters but the monster with the blade runs up to her and strikes her with its blade. Her eyes widen as the blade slashes down deeply into her throat; she couldn't breathe. Her blood starts to gush out and forms a pool around her hooves. She collapses onto her side, and as her vision fades the monsters get near her and then...everything goes black.

"Ah, I see that she wasn't able to last that long." The voice chuckles, "such a shame that this soul was put to waste. Oh Well, it was fun while it lasted. Maybe the rest will be much more entertaining than this one."
