The Problem With Serial Killers

“Hey Twilight, have you seen Rarity recently?” Spike asked.

Twilight Sparkle sighed and shook her head, that dragon never does anything other than eat jewels and think about Rarity. What am I going to do with him? Twilight thought to herself. But Spike did have a point, she hadn’t seen Rarity since their last pony pet play date a week ago. Her worry getting the best of her she called out.

“Hey Spike, did Rarity say anything about going anywhere or doing anything?”

“Now that you mention it, she did mention wanting to go to Fluttershy’s because she thought something was bothering her.”  Spike’s replied.

Twilight thought to herself that may be, but I can’t help but think that something’s not right, it might be nothing but I should go after the library closes tonight just to be sure. After Twilight closed the library for the night and she put Spike to bed she decided that now would be a good time for her to check. Pulling on her cloak for protection from the cold, she set out the front door in the direction of Fluttershy’s cottage.

After about fifteen minutes of walking she came into view of Fluttershy’s cottage, and the sight she saw concerned her greatly. Leaning against the front of Fluttershy’s cottage was a tall bipedal creature. This creature was huge easily taller than Princess Celestia, it was just standing there whistling a tune. Twilight not knowing if this creature was dangerous or not, approached it cautiously. When she got within speaking distance she apprehensively asked.

“Excuse me, but what are you?”

The creature stopped whistling and turned in Twilight’s direction and sized her up with it’s cold piercing gaze. After staring at Twilight for about 30 seconds the creature spoke.

“My name is Barry, I am a human and who might you be?”

Twilight was momentarily taken aback, she didn’t expect this creature to understand her let alone speak. After getting over her initial shock, she spoke again, but this time with a frenzied excitement.

“Oh my gosh, what’s a human? Can they all speak? Where are you from? Equestria? Or somewhere else? Oh I wish I would’ve packed a notepad and quill.”

The creature who had introduced himself to Twilight as Barry chuckled to himself and spoke in a voice that was calmer than Twilight thought possible and said. “My you’re a curious one, before I answer your questions I must do something first.”

Twilight gazed at him curiously and asked “What is that?”

The creature spoke with a mad grin on it’s face. “This!!!” as he said that he pulled out a large knife, that appeared to be caked with dried blood. “I’m so sorry dear, I would love to stay and chat but I am on a tight schedule.” As he finished his sentence he raised the knife ready to strike, but that’s as far as he got.

Twilight’s horn flared as she ripped the knife out of Barry’s hands, and threw it to the side. Barry was stunned having never seen magic before. Twilight used his distraction to her advantage as  she engulfed him in her Byzantium aura and used her magic to force him to his knees. With no other options Barry started to scream and curse.

“You stupid pony bitch, just you wait, I’ll get out of here and I’ll kill all of you. You ain’t shit you assholes.”

After Twilight had heard enough out of him, she decided the best bet would be to put him to sleep with her magic and wait for the Royal Guard to arrive and take him to Canterlot. Charging up the necessary spell she slowly walked towards Barry who was still struggling against his magical bonds. When he saw Twilight approaching him again, but this time her horn glowing even brighter he expected the worst and tried to plead with her.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, please let me go I’ll be good I promise.” Barry’s voice growing in desperation the closer Twilight got. “NO NO STAY AWAY, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!!”

Twilight was right up against Barry, spell fully charged, she looked in Barry’s eyes and saw the sheer panic that seemed to be seeping out of them, she sighed knowing this would bother her later and touched her horn to his brow. Suddenly Barry’s body went slack as the spell took effect and he fell into a deep slumber.

4 Hours Later

Barry woke up in a white room, he looked around and the first thing he noticed was the cleanliness of it. Ughhh, this room is way too clean, too white could use some dried blood to darken it up a bit. Barry thought to himself. He tried to lean up but he was stopped by some kind of restriction. He looked down at his arms and they were held in place by what seemed to be a similar aura to what that pony had captured him with, but this one was a darker purple.

Barry’s heard a noise coming from outside the door and his head turned in the direction of the door, the door swung open revealing a number of ponies, the first one that walked through was a white unicorn who appeared to be male, with a large shield tattooed on his rump. The second one that came in seemed to be a cross between a pegasus and a unicorn, she had a huge sun tattooed on her rump. The third one that came in was none other than the pony who had captured him, and the one who he assumed brought him here.

Barry struggled against his magical restraints again, but the white unicorn interrupted him by saying. “You will not get past those restraints beast, I cast that spell myself.”

The white pegasus-unicorn-thing hushed the unicorn and said “Shining Armor, even if this”...she paused as she searched for the right word and paused again before she resumed speaking “creature, did horrible, unspeakable evil we can still tried to be civilized, Twilight said he called himself Barry.” She directed her attention to Barry and asked “Is that correct?”

Barry laughed to himself before retorting “You know it bitch.”

The white unicorn that accompanied the white pegasus-unicorn-thing growled out a warning to Barry. “Watch your tongue ingrate, lest I cut it out. You are speaking to Princess Celestia and you will retain an attitude of respect to her. Do I make myself clear?”

Barry laughed even harder at this and between his loud guffaws he managed to get a few words out. “I don’t give a rat’s ass, if this is the high and mighty Princess Sun-Ass, I’ll say what I want, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

The male unicorn horn flared, but was interrupted when Princess Celestia put a hoof up. and said her voice laced with authority “That’s enough Shining, Barry why did you decide to kill two of my little ponies?

Barry’s face took on a mad grin he smiled as he spoke “I did it because it’s fun, I love the sound of their screams as I stab them, the smell of their blood as it spills on the ground. I loved every bit of killing them.

Shining made a low growl of rage in his throat, but stopped when the princess gave him a sideways glance. Princess Celestia looked at the now smiling Barry, her face a mix of anger, disgust, and contempt. How can one creature be this evil? Even Discord didn’t do things this horrible. She thought to herself.

Twilight Sparkle spoke up after being quiet the whole time and she said. “Princess I don’t think he is mentally stable, this is probably why he did this. I’ve read of ponies in the past who committed acts like this because they were mentally unstable. I can’t forgive him for what he has done, but I can’t help but pity him. I think that we should put him into a coma until we can figure out what to do with him.”

The princess digested this for a few moments before she said “I agree with you Twilight one hundred percent.” Celestia’s horn flared up, blinding the other’s in the room. Barry realizing what she was going to do screamed and struggled against his bonds to no avail. Celestia’s spell was fully charged and Barry heard one more thing before the void took him, “I’m sorry.”
