Chapter 3

It had been another week since the old dude has been around. I expected him to come over today. Because he told me he would come over today.

So I had cleaned up my room, again. And stepped on a lego, again. So, my grandfather soon came over.

“Where is the kid?” My grandfather asked.

“Grandad. I’m right here.” I answered.

My granddad paused for a few seconds. “Well sure you are!” He ruffled up my hair a bit.

“Say, where did you even get that book?”

“It’s a old book handed down from generation to generation.”

I rolled my eyes, “I should have guessed you would say that.”He gives that answer for many things. I ask him where he got a 2 day old candy bar once. Said the same thing. I get very confused when he does that. Dah well. Doesn’t matter like usual.

“Do you want to continue the story?” He asked.

“No.”

“To bad!” He dragged me by my arm into the living room. And sat me down on the couch and opened up the book. “The two monsters headed back to ponyville.”

As the monsters went to kill the princess who had betrayed one of them the new invisible monster decided to talk.

“So I guess you want to know about me?” He started, “I am a demon who was summoned before you, but I guess you knew that I’m not really invisible but you can’t see me because I am made entirely of energy, and I can kill by making things happen, a chain reaction if you will, and I must thank you, because you have helped me a lot today like with that rainbow mane pony and her friend, but with that said you have messed me up once, you almost killed four ponies I planed on torturing, I had to save their lives when you bust through their house. Oh my, I just realized that I never told you my name, my name is The Torturer. I know it’s not the best name but it’s what they call me.”

They continue their way until they came acrossed a fallen barbed wire tree with three bloody ponies trying to pull another bloody pony out of the tree.

“Do me a favor will you?” The Torturer said, “Go over to that tree and scare those ponies.”

And the other monster did what his friend asked him to.

Meanwhile at the fallen tree.

Bon Bon, Vinyl, and Octavia were trying to pull Lyra who had her tail stuck in the tree.

“This isn’t doing anything” Octavia said.

“Well maybe if you tried harder it would do something.” Vinyl replied.

“Look, can one of you just get me out of here.” Lyra asked.

“We will Lyra just give us a little more time.” Bon Bon answered.

“But we might not have that much time, that monster might come back.”

“Well it’s not here right now.”

“Um, Bon Bon I think I see it over the hill.”

The three friends turned around to see the giant monster coming over the the hill, they started to panic and made one long pull to try to free their trapped friend, and when they started to pull the bottom half of the trapped friend’s tore of sending the three friend down Old Spiky Rocks Hill and went they reached the four friends looked up to see the monster looking down on them, they smiled they thought they were free of the monster.

Until they heard a growling noise. They looked behind them too see 20 timberwolves, looking right at them.

“Why is this happening to us?” Octavia said.

Now it may have been from all the blood they lost but they could have sworn they heard wolfs grow out the words “Shipping pairs.” Right before the wolves jumped on them.

Meanwhile back with the monsters.

The giant yellow circle looked at the four ponies who were getting attacked by the wolves.

“Don’t worry.” His friend said, “They won’t die but they will feel every bit of pain let’s just continue on our way.”

The yellow circle turned away from the screaming mares and went on it’s way with the demon behind it.

“Ok I have a plan.” The Torturer stated “When we kill the princess I can take what’s left of her power and use it to turn both of us in to ponies and we can have a normal life. Thats all I’ve wanted in my life, to be normal for once. Anyway that’s the plan for after we kill her and this is plan for how we kill her. First off, you can’t start killing innocent ponies that will make you look more guilty than you look now, so the path I have made for you is set to go to the areas with the least amount of ponies, but her guards have no doubt realized you're gone so they will try to kill you so don’t feel guilty about killing them, and lastly their two ponies that know one of the ponies I killed but they think you killed, anyway they know the princess and she most likely has told them that you killed her, they will never believe that you didn’t kill her or what the princess said to you and they are too smart to be killed by you, but they don’t know about me so if you get them in the right place, I can, and will, kill both of them. I think that gets you up to date, so would you kindly do what I said.”

The monster went to do what The Torturer said. Gobbling up the orbs in his way.

Meanwhile wherever the hell the princess is.

The sun was starting to set.

“Princess.” A guard started, “We have not been able to locate the monster yet. Just thought you should know.”

Princess Celestia grunted, “You told me this two minutes ago.”

“Well, you never tell us when to start informing you again.” The guard pony apologised

“Go find him now!” Celestia shouted, “I will not let him escape so easily.”

The guard went back to his duties. Searching through a small part of the town. He then saw something. “Well, well, well. What do we have here?” What he saw was an orb. “This must mean something.” The guard was then grabbed by an invisible force and was slammed into the orb staying on it for several seconds, burning his flesh. He dropped to the ground, dead.

“So sorry sir.” The Torturer said. He then proceeded to pick up the guard and toss him into an empty building. “That takes care of one.”

“Well my friend you’re clear.” He called out

With those words the big circle came out and went onwards to find the princess.

“WOW I can’t believe you did all this in one day!”

As they moved on they saw three guards standing nearby a broken building.

“This will be fun.”

As he said those words the building started to make a creaking sound and before any of the guards could do anything the building collapsed on top of them.

“No pony will suspect a thing.”He said, “Now if I’m right I think that the princess should be in the makeshift base in center of what left of the town, but those two ponies I was talking about earlier should be around here but I see no sign of them so, carry on.”

And the monster did that until his friend yelled out “WAIT!!!!!!!”

He stop and look at where his friend should be standing.

“That orb you were just about to eat.” He started, “I didn’t put that one there, and if it does what I think it does.” A piece of wood lifted off the ground and hit the orb, the orb then blew up, “Just as I thought those two ponies set that up to trick you, if you ate that one, you would be dead, so they are here, somewhere, stay here I’m going to go ahead and see if there any more of those orb.”

As the monster waited for his friend to come back he thought he heard noises coming from right behind him but when he looked behind him he saw nothing so he went back to waiting but he heard those sounds coming from behind him again but closer he looked behind him but there was nothing now he was scared, he was all alone and he was hearing thing but his friend would be back soon, right? The yellow circle slowly backed up. Turning a bit to make sure he didn’t miss anything.

He then heard the sound of a metal blade right behind him. The monster turned and saw a guard pointing a spear at him. The guard had an evil smirk on his face. He had the monster right there. Surely he would get a promotion. Possibly become the captain of them.

The monster grabbed the spear trying to shake it out of the ponies hooves. He turned from side to side as fast as he could go. He was finally able to take it out of his hooves and throw it away somewhere.

“Uuuuuuuuh.” The guard pony looked in fear. “I can explain.” The monster Opened his mouth, ready to take a bite. The guard turned around and started to run. However the monster caught his tail. He kept trying to run though, but with no success. The monster then moved forward and grabbed his leg. And dragged him back. “HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!” He screamed. The monster then bit down on his leg, tearing it off.

Blood came from what was once a leg. The guard screamed. The monster decided to put him out of his misery, he took the guard in his mouth and snapped down crushing him.

The monster felt a lot better he had just killed the sources of the noise that was scaring him and could wait in peace for it’s friend to come back but then it hit him the were coming from behind him but the guard came from the opposite direction so the noise couldn’t have been from the guard

“So you're the one who killed my sister.” A voice said, “And you just killed one of my knights.”

The monster turned around and saw a guard with a blue mane and a very mad look on his face.

“You’re going to suffer and die in the same way you killed my sister you beast!” The guard yelled out.

The monster looked at him, who did he kill that made this guy so mad, then he remembered what his friend said he was one of the two ponies that were mad at him for killing a pony they knew but in reality, he didn’t kill that pony but The Torturer did, but in that case where was the other one?

“Don’t forget, he caused all the death in this town and killed Luna.” Another voice spoke out this one sounded like a mare.

As the monster looked at the source of this voice and saw a pink alicorn who looked just as mad as the guard.

The monster thought about what he could do, he had a mad guard and alicorn who wanted him to suffer in the same way as a pony they thought he had killed.

He could only see one way out of this.

He turned the other way and started to eat the orbs as fast as he could hoping they weren't going to explode.

“GET BACK HERE!!!!!!!!!!!” They both yelled.

The monster went as fast as he could, but the two mad ponies were getting closer, but then he saw something that made him stop.

There were no more orbs.

“Ha! guess thats the end of the line for you.” The guard yelled out.

The monster couldn't believe it where had all the orb gone?

The guard jumped on a stack of wooden planks and the alicorn followed, but as she jumped she slipped and turned on a woodchipper that was right beside the stack.

“Now you’re going to die just like my sister in law.” The alicorn said.

The monster looked at the two ponies not because ponies were yelling at him but because a rope was wrapping around the guard’s neck and a piece of cloth was slowly starting to go around the alicorn's mouth.

But before any of them could do anything the rope quickly tightened around the guards neck and the cloth wrapped around the alicorns mouth.

“I just thought I let you know my friend didn’t kill your sister, I did!” A voice yelled out.

Right as those words were said a sandbag that was at the other end of the rope fell causing the guard to go up and slowly choked to death while the alicorn got picked up and thrown into the woodchipper, back hooves first. She tried to scream but the cloth made it impossible but it wouldn't be long before she died of blood loss.

“Sorry about removing the orbs but you were going so fast, if I didn’t you would mess up my trap.” The monsters friend said, “Anyway, those ponies are dead, so we don’t have to worry about them so all we have to do is kill the princess and we can become ponies so let’s do this.”

The monsters went on their way, and it was not long before the two made it to the princess hideout.

“Well here we are but where are the guards?” The Torturer asked, “Ok, she doesn't know about me, so you just go in there, find her, and I’ll do the rest.”

As the monster went into the hideout, he started to get scared it didn’t help that his friend was nowhere near him.

And just in the blink of an eye all of the orbs were gone.

“Well, well, well look who walked into his own death.” The princess said as she walk out of the darkness “I guess you couldn’t wait until 5:00 to be killed and came to me.”

As the princess talked on, the roof of the hideout started to shake, the monster smiled as he knew that it was his friend who was doing that.

“You are going to die just like your friend will!” She yelled out as she shot a bolt of magic at something.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The monster knew that scream came from his friend.

“W-What have you done to me?” His friend asked.

“You are made out of energy, so if that energy disappears you can not stay alive and with you gone your friend will die as well.” She replied.

“No….. He…... Will…... Live……... I……... Still……... Have……….. One………. Last………. Trick.” His friend said as a bolt of energy shot out of nowhere, and the monster knew his friend was gone.

“Omph! What was that?” She asked to no pony, “Oh never mind at least he’s dead and you're going to die soon.”

The monster was now panicking, his friend was dead, and he couldn’t move, but he felt as if he could move. But how? There were no more orbs, but as he thought that it hit him that bolt he shot at the princess, it was what was allowing him to move because inside the princess was one. last. orb.

The monster moved on going for the princess. “What? How are you doing that?” She was confused. The monster didn’t answer. Like usual.

The princess growled and shot a beam at him. it hit him, but he kept going. She continued this, the monster slowed down with each one, but kept going. He was determined to get that last orb. Not caring what she was shooting at him.

With nothing else up her sleeve, Celestia started to run for the monster, she knew if she got close enough, she could kill him. She jumped forward, the monster opened his mouth, ready to chomp down. Celestia charged her beam, ready to fire when close enough.

Celestia flew straight into the monsters mouth, firing in it as he closed his mouth, smashing Celestia.

However, smoke started to come out his mouth. It opened a bit, and a bright light shined out of it. His mouth continued tilting backward, it went very far back, hurting him allot. It finally went so far back that his top started to touch his bottom. But it continued to go, until.

In a bright flash of light, the monster exploded into a million sparks of light.

The Ponyville streets were empty, and some building were destroyed.

Outside of Ponyville, however, lay four bloodied ponies on the grass. One was a mint green colour, and she had managed squeaked out, “.... Ow.”

“The end.” My grandpa said, closing the book. Bout time! couldn’t stand that thing!

“Thanks for the story gramps, now then, get out.” I gestured towards the door.

He picked up his hat and got off the couch, “Alright then. I’ll just get out of your way. You can keep the book by the way.” He left the book on the couch. Walking towards the front door.

“Good bye dad.” My mom said, waving as he closed the door.

I walked up next to her, “Uh, mom?”

“Yes honey?” She asked and stopped waving.

“You do know that grandpa died in the same car crash that killed dad right? And the other one has been dead for six years now.” We both just stopped and looked at each other.

I looked at the book on the couch, which I picked up. I flipped through it and stumbled across something interesting.

I went out the door and called out, “You know there is an epilogue in here right!?” I shrugged and went back inside. I then put the book on the table and yawned. “I think I’m going to bed.”

The next day was like any other normal day in my town.

The End
