Chapters Luna awoke in a dark room with no idea of how she got there. The rooms decode matched that of a celestial castle mixed with some otherworldly objects. Several orbs of light were on the celling, large mechanical devices littered the walls of the stone walls, and a black box sat in front of her on a chair. A audible moan from behind caught Luna's attention. Turning around, she saw that there was something else inside the room with her, a large bipedal creature sat chained to a chair in front of her. The moon princess ran up to the captives side to try and free him. To her surprise her hoof passed right through the creature in an almost misty way. am I dreaming? Luna noticed that the creature was wearing what looked like a breastplate but instead had four needles on each side of the abdomen. His arms and legs were at attached with long chains to the arms and celling. Suddenly the box indent of her flared to life with a flash revealing a puppet on the glass. The puppet had the same facial features as the biped in the room with her but was dresses in a suit. It had black eyes with red irises and a crimson swirl on each cheek.
"Rise and shine David, I want to play a game." Both of the rooms inhabitants were shocked to see the doll talking. "All your life you have let your addiction to drugs control you. You take these harmful drugs even though you know there is a risk of death. You wasted all your families money for for substances you thought would just comfort you. When your wife found out about this she took left you. She did the right thing to, children should not have a father who abuses himself everyday. Without your wife's support you had no more money. Most people see their problem, most people get help, so why didn't you?"Luna face a worried look at the prisoner who had a look of shame and pure terror in its eyes. "Little did your wife know that you would turn towards identity theft to pay for your needs. Did it not occur to you how many peoples lives you ruined in the process? Tonight we will see just how powerful of a control drugs have on your life. Your body has been injected with a lethal dose of heroine. In order for you to survive you must inject yourself with all four doses of the antidote. Be warned, mixing the heroine with the antidote causes some "discomfort"." The puppet took a long pause before saying that last word. "If the drug shuts fifty percent of your body down, then the chains around your appendages will tear you in half, freeing you from the shackles of addiction. Let the games begin." Luna's vision faded in and out as she watched David go through his game. She saw him plunge a needle into his wrist. Blackness. She watched him stare at the last needle, crying. And she headed a loud buzzing sound come from around the room, signaling that David's time was up.
"NO!" Luna screamed for the creature to be shown mercy, instead she only saw the puppet appear back on screen and watched as it laughed. A cloaked figure walked out from the shadows towards David.
"Game over."
Luna awoke in a hot sweet, memories of the dream now permanently seared into her head. But she knew that it wasn't a dream, it was a vision.Tomorrow I will tell sister about what I saw. Maybe she knows what it was? what the princess did not understand was if the vision was from the past or from the future. She never would have guest that it was happening that very instant.
John watched emotionlessly as David's body was ripped in half. David's lower torso was torn apart from the rest of his body, the shock of the situation killing him. John stared into David's lifeless eyes for a few moments before deciding it was time to move on.
"Take him away." Two pig-masked guards responded to their master's commands and gathered what was left of David. John waited for his helpers to be gone before he thought of his current situation. It had been three long months since John had begun his little games. During those three months the media, police, and just about everybody came to know him as the Jigsaw killer because of the way he cuts a puzzle piece of skin out of his victims to represent the missing price of their puzzle. John had been tracked down to his last hide out at an old temple. The temple was abandoned around the time he started planning his designs for traps. The design of the temple was unlike any other place john had headed of. Several pictures of equines painted the walls, not a single human to be found. Some of the equines had horns, others had wings, and the rest were hornless and wingless. What was even more strange then the lack of humans was that the ponies (his best guess for what they are) were doing activity that you would expect from humans only. Two recurring ponies stuck out to him the most. One of them was depicted with an all white body and multi colored mane. The large pony had both wings and a horn. It always seemed to be shown around a sun. The other pony hybrid was shown as a dark navy blue body and a dark blue mane. Sometimes she was shown as all black with light navy blue armor with a strary cloud replacing its hair. John knew that whoever inhabited this temple worshiped them as gods. Jigsaw was awoken from his thoughts by a large explosion followed by a voice on his intercom.
"Sir the cops have breached the temple. I advise that you retreat down to the storage area for your safety."
"Right away." John took off with a surprisingly fast speed towards the lower level of the temple. A sudden pain shot through johns skull causing him to stumble. this cancer is going to kill me before the cops do. john composed himself before he finally reached his destination. Another explosion echoed through the temple's stone walls followed by several screams of agony, but John knew this one was from the sound of several shotguns going off. theres one less person who wants me dead. John walked through the door into a dark room. He could make out the silhouettes of twelve different people.
"Hello, you are twelve of my most devoted followers. You have helped me save people from themselves, wether that be supplying me with resources or helping me kidnap people. Tonight, we will make our last stand against this corrupt world." John kept his talk short and simple and was rewarded with yells of encouragement from the pig-masked figures. "Alright, turn on the lights and get your guns." Almost instantly the lights were turned on to show the room. Rows apron rows of supplies and prototype traps covered the walls of the enormous room. The only wall that wasn't blocked was at the end of the room. It showed a drawing of the two god like ponies each circling a six different colored gems. Under them was some writing foreign to his understanding. John looked down at his wrist watch, 12:00 AM. A white flash enveloped the room followed by an even brighter one. Before the second flash, john could understand the writing underneath the two ponies. It read:
Celestia and Luna, rulers of Equestria
John's Arrival
Rainbow dash flew tirelessly from cloud to cloud battling the gloomy wether that had drifted into Ponyville the previous night. The cyan Pegasus was confused to why there was such strange cloud activity. The day before it was completely sunny, not a single cloud in sight for miles. weird. Life the last week was pretty much the same routine for Rainbow dash, she talked with her friends, did awesome tricks, and managed the town's weather. Rainbow dash soared right over the apple trees in Sweet Apple Acres, waving to Apple jack along the way. The Everfree Forest stated to come into the pony's view. She could see Fluttershy standing out side of her cottage. Rainbow dash decided to talk to one of her old friends.
Fluttershy saw her rainbow maned friend fly towards her. She smiled at seeing the Pegasus doing a couple of spins in the air before landing in front of her.
"Hey Fluttershy. What are you doing today?"The two Pegasi both were very excited to see each other
"I was just checking to see if the animals were doing ok. There was a lot more birds outside of the forest then normal, something in the forest must have scared them." Fluttershy's voice trailed off when she finished the last sentence.
"Come on, I'm sure whatever it is in the forest isn't a big deal. The cream colored Pegasus brightened up a little bit at her friends remark.
"I guess your right Rainbow. Thanks for cheering me up."
"No problem Fluttershy. I hope to see you later, I got to get back to the weather." Fluttershy's mood turned a little sad hearing that her friend was leaving.
"Oh... Okay bye Rainbow dash." The cyan pony said good bye and disappeared into a cloud.
The cream yellow Pegasus just stood there and stared at the edge of the Everfree Forest.
"I hope Rainbow dash really was right." She said to herself. Little did the pony no that something sinister had just arrived in Equestria.
The bright rays of early the morning sun awoke john from his sleep. His head hurt but it felt different. Before there was always the looming feeling of pain caused by his cancer. John curiously stood up and looked at his surroundings, the area around him had drastically changed since the last night. Large supply boxes and other various items lay scattered on grass. Around him was lots of trees and vegetation foreign to the jigsaw killer. John also noticed fourteen bodies around the grassy terrain. Guess I'm the first one to wake up. John walked up to the nearest pig-masked assistant. For safety reasons, he had no idea what any of their names were. He removed the his helpers mask and was greeted by the sleeping form of a girl. She looked to be about in her thirties, with straight black hair. John gently shook her head and was greeted by hazel blue eyes. The looked at John for a second before she also stood up.
"What happened last night?" She asked john who was still unable to understand what happened
"I don't know." He replied with the only answer he could. The two serial killers looked around to see that the rest of the group woke up. All of them asking questions of what happened
"Where are we."
"how did we get here."
"Did the police do this?"
John calmly walked up to one of the supply boxes and pulled out a loaded Glock 42. He turned towards them and shot three rounds of ammunition into the sky. Everyone went silent and faced him. "which one of you is my neurosurgeon?" In response one of the members removed their mask. A young man with short black hair walked in front of Jigsaw.
"What do you require sir?"
"I need you to run a CT scan on me. I have a feeling that my cancer may have been weakened."
The surgeon stared at John with disbelief knowing that that type of disease didn't disappear over night, but he knew better then to question the jigsaw killers words.
"Alright, but I need some time to set up the equipment."
John watched the man go to the medical device and began to work. The rest of the group still looked at their master for orders. John looked at his watch, 8:53 AM
"Ok, everyone unpack the supplies, I need a full list of everything we have with us before night fall. Place armed bear traps along the area of the perimeter." A few nods came from the followers. "I don't now what happened last night, but we will find our way back to the city. I wish to return as soon as possible, every hour we wait here we are letting people fall dead to their own corruption. Let's get started." The group began to empty the supply boxes. Taking out various devices such as sedative drugs used to kidnap people, video cameras and old television sets were put together in a pile near the center of the camp. Seemingly everyday objects were taken out to later be used as death traps. Seven camping tents were laid out in a circle on the small hill. John could see rain clouds advancing towards their position. He ordered two helpers to through a tarp over the pile of supplies. Jigsaw watched his men and women quickly unpacked the rest of the supplies and went to their tents. The neurosurgeon came rushing from behind one of the supply stacks towards John.
"Sir the CT scan is warmed up and ready to go. Follow me and we can get started." John could see the juvenile spark in the man, something he lost along time ago. John nodded and followed the young man through the small camp ground. On his way, he took a better look at the surroundings. Just judging by the plant life, he knew for sure that he must be far away from the temple, or any place that he knew of. The plant life were different than anything he had ever seen. Some animals came out of the forest thicket near the camp ground. Something seemed of about the animals, not that they looked dangerous or anything like that, just that they seemed more calm around him. John and the doctor entered a large white medical tent. The room was filled with several medical crates, a small bed, and a CT machine.
"If you would please lay down on the machine please."John laid down on the large medical device as the doctor started pushing buttons on the control panel.
"The scan will take an hour at the least. So just sit back, relax and let the machine do its work."John and the man sat in the room. It was completely silent except for the beeping from the machine.
Pain. Death. Suffering. Justice. Those words was the only thing the puppet could think about.why can I think? Before I never could think. Why can I now? memories of torture, suffering, and death raced quickly through Billy's head. wait... Memories? Why can I remember? Why can I think? Why can I feel? Am I alive?
What was in reality only an hour seemed to be an eternity for the two men taking part in the advanced medical procedure. At the end of it, both of them were very curious to see what the results of the CT scan would be. The screen in front of the Tyler lit up with the information from the machine.
"Okay the results of your scan have just came in. Let's see if you have had any major changes in your condition." Tyler opened up a picture of John's body. Amazement and shock filled his eyes when he saw the results. Where there should have been a malignant tumor in his patient's brain was just healthy brain tissue.
"Is everything alright." John was a little nervous to see the look on the surgeons face.
"Um, you might want to see this." Jigsaw Stepped up next to the monitor
"I don't know how it's possible, but your tumor has seemed to be completely removed from your system." He still was flabbergasted by what he saw. He looked and was almost just as surprised to see that his patients face showed no joy that he wasn't going to die.
"By all means I hope I don't disrespect you but shouldn't you be at least a little happy that you aren't terminal." Tyler immediately regretted those words as he was caught in the icy stare of Jigsaw. The newly healthy serial killer walked up closer to him. He stared into his eyes and told him something that chilled him to the bone.
"Doctor, you don't know do you. I already have died in a way, but I have been reborn." And with that he went out to the forest.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to see if there are any nearby towns." John replied without even turning around to face him.
Billy sat on the table still thinking about his current status. so this is what it's like to be alive. I guess John knew what he was talking about. Everyone he'd seen tested rightfully deserved what they got. He wished he had been conscious to see them in pain and pay for their sins. The puppet grabbed a wrist blade and got off the table he was placed on and went out of the tent. Cautiously, Billy looked around to see if anyone was looking, he had a very good idea of what would happen if he was spotted. When he got out of the tent he realized that he had no Idea of what to do. i can't just walk up to John and say "hello, I'm alive now what do you need me to do?" He decided to just figure it out when he meet the famed genius. Silently, the ventriloquist dummy walked into the forest hoping to find answers.
The bright sun warmed Pinkie Pie's smiling form as she bounced through the forest trail humming a song. She was walking back from a big party she planned in Canterlot. Pinkie decided not to take the train and instead wanted to get some exercise. Even though she had been given some warnings about unusual activity in the forest, she wasn't expecting anything to attack her. Twilight asked pinkie if she could return before it got dark.silly Twi, nothing out here will try to eat me. She had no idea what she was about to encounter.
John walked through the the thicket of plant life desperate on find the source of the buzzing. The sound was definitely feminine by nature. He was just going to see if the girl knew any directions of how to get back to ANY civilization. He walked through the last thicket of trees and stood slack jaw at the creature that stood before him. The being information of him was definitely an equine. She had a Cotten candy pink body with a curly pink mane. Both souls stared at each other for an immeasurable amount of time. Finally the pink pony broke the silence.
"Oh my gosh a REAL ALIEN." It spoke well it jumped up and down with ease.
"I'm Pinkie Pie,What is your name? What do aliens like to eat? Can you understand me? Are you going to eat me? Are there more aliens here? Are you a boy or girl?"
John was to shocked to answer the questions he was being bombarded with. Slowly, he reached into his pocket for a needle.
"Okay, enough with my questions, did you want to ask me anything?"
Jigsaw was very surprised that she stopped talking and that he wouldn't have to knock her out.
"My name of no concern to you, whatever you are." He replied with as calmly as he could.
"Aww, come on tell me your name.
"No."
"Please tell me. Pretty please with sprinkles on top."
"Sure, I'll tell you my name if you can answer a few questions. Don't worry, I will answer your questions truthfully if you do the same for me." Hopefully he would get an idea of what was going on
"Okie dokie Lokie."
"Where am I?" He said finally being able to ask the question he had since he woke up this morning.
"Your in Equestria, on the outskirts of Ponyville to be exact. Pony vile is where I live and it just straight along this road, look you can see it waaaay over there." Sure enough the outline of a small town was visible in the distance.
"What are you exactly." The pink mare giggled at his question
"Silly filly, I am an earth pony." Weird that her race was an earth pony if she wasn't from his world.
"Wait, so there are other types of ponies?" John was curious to learn as much information as he could.
"Duh, of corse there are. There's unicorns like my friends Rarity and twilight. They can use magic from their horns and to all sortsa cool things. Then there are winged ponies called Pegasi. Two of my friends Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are both Pegasus. Now can I ask you a few questions?"
"That seems fair." John decided to give her the truth, the exact truth.
"Who are you?" She said, still smiling. John knew just how to answer her.
"You can call me jigsaw."
"So jigsaw," she put an extra emphasis in the name. "What do you do?" This was the last question that jigsaw hoped to here, but he was still ready.
"I like to play games." The answer was technically correct.
"Wow, me too! Games are so much fun. Almost as fun as partying, baking, eating, and doing all three at once." Jigsaw's smile turned to a frown. eating? Partying? These were things he tested people for. Maybe he had time to help the poor mare. no this is stupid, she isn't even human. But maybe it would be best for her. Again, he reached into his pocket for his sedative drug. Pinkie went on about "parties" this and "cupcakes" that. With lightning fast reflexes he plunged the needle into the pink ponies shoulder.
"Ouchie! What was that fo..." Pinkie felt an immense wave of drowsiness fall upon her she tried to say somthing but stumbled to the ground, unconscious.
Jigsaw was about to pick her up when he noticed something in front of him. He couldn't believe what he was looking at.
"Billy?" It took john a lot of strength not to pass out from the surprise of everything going on. Today just keeps on greeting weirder and weirder.
"John, there's nothing else I can say except that I'm alive." The puppets voice sounded exactly like it did on the recordings that jigsaw gave him to say. "what is that." Billy gestured towards the unconscious pink mass lying in between them.
"From what she told me she is an earth pony, though I'm not sure what earth she is talking about." Why was he having a conversation with is puppet, the one he uses to talk for him? "How long have you been able to talk?
"Since this morning, but I have vivid memories of my past. Don't worry John, I still wish to help you test people,or in this case ponies.
It may take the jigsaw killer time to find his way back to humanity. So in the meantime he decided he should try to help all the lost souls in Equestria, one pony at a time. John knelt down and picked up the sleeping pony
"Let the games begin."
Those who do not appreciate life do not deserve life
"What the hell?!" Tyler was dumbfounded by the pink cattle john had brought back to the medical tent along with a living version of Billy the puppet.
"The pink thing is apparently an "Earth pony" and I'm still not sure why billy now lives among us." John used the information he acquired from his confusing encounter in the woods.
"Why did you bring the "pony" here?"
"First of all, the mare, which means female pony, told me that we are not on earth any more." The doctor stared disbelievingly at jigsaw's words. "Now we are in the world of Equestria, a land inhabited by talking animals. I took her because she doesn't understand the true value of life.
"Wait... So you want to test a pony?
"This is crazy! She isn't even human! Shouldn't we be trying to get back to earth? Tyler couldn't contain his emotions anymore. He had seen enough things happen today.
"Relax, the pony told me that there are other breeds of ponies out there. Some of them can control magic, maybe if we can recruit some of them with our cause, it worked with the rest of the people here." Jigsaw have a point and the Neurosurgeon knew it, everybody who joined his cause thought of him as a prophet. The same logic would probably work with ponies or anything for that matter.
"John, how do you propose we test this sad excuse for a pony." Though the puppets voice showed no feeling, everyone in the room could tell that he had a new found hatred for the equine.
"So Jigsaw, your real name is John." The puppet looked up at Tyler and was clearly annoyed that he accidentally gave away john's fake alias. Billy's creator looked at the puppet and motioned for him to calm down.
"Now, now billy, It doesn't matter if he nows my name seeing that we are no longer on earth." He then turned to Tyler and gave him the ghost of a smile. "Yes, my name is John, John Kramer. I'm sure you already know about my puppet Billy." But the doctor wasn't listening to him. Tyler was frozen with fear the moment his eyes locked with the puppets stare. His mind seemed to be griped by the puppets crimson eyes. Every thought that he had in his head was replaced by a graphic memory from the puppets past. John instantly figured out that something was wrong with his surgeon. He waved his hand in front of Tyler who instantly fell back from the evil ventriloquist dummy.
"What did you just do to me?" The puppet looked at him again, this time he wasn't taken over by the puppets twisted mind.
"I just wanted to see if you knew about pain. You seem like the kind of person who needs a lesson on life" the puppets raspy voiced seemed to echo through Tyler's mind."
John stared down furiously at his puppet. "Don't mess with my surgeons head! He has earned his right to live on many occasions.
"Okay John, I see your point." He had vivid memories of the doctor operating on his master. "Now that, we have worked everything out, I suggest that you start working on her test john. I will be ready to record a video for you when you finish.
"Your right, we can't keep drugging her. "John could see in Billy's eyes that he was excited to star the games. "Besides, I already have a idea for this pinkie pie."
"So what ya reckons under that curtain?"
"I don't know Applejack, I guess we will have to wait and see what it is." Spike was just as thrilled to see what was under the black curtain as Applejack was.
Celestia had just risen the sun over the Equestrian skies. Everypony had just woken up to attend to their duties only to find a large square object covered by a black tarp surrounded by a fence with large barbed coils tangled around it.
"Well darling I don't think that the black fabric is fashionable, look at all the stains on it." Rarity was right, the tarp was covered with dark red stains.
"D-do you think that the red is b-b-blood?"
Before Fluttershy's friends could answer her, a loud laugh interrupted them. Everypony stopped what they were doing and looked around them. The laugh sounded like something from a nightmare night party, but with much more malice. Suddenly the black curtain was ripped of to show a disturbing sight. Inside a glass box was a unconscious pinkie was on all on all fours, only standing up due to the fact a bungie chord was wrapped around her mid-section tied to the celling. One of the walls behind had blood read words behind her that read LIFE IS NOT A PARTY! on her right was another small box. Pinkie woke up after small needle was jabbed into her leg.
"Girls what's going on? How did I get here? Why am I tied down and my legs are bleeding! The crowd gasped when they looked closer at pinkie pie's restraints. Large blades stuck into the pink ponies calf muscles. "Owie owie owie owie, my legs hurt so much, help meeee!"
"Don't you worry pinkie I will go find Twilight." Spike dashed into the town hall to find twilight and the mayor. The other three ponies looked at pinkie with looks of horror. Abruptly, the box next to the captured mare lit up with light and reveled the face of some sort of puppet.
"Hello pinkie pie. I want to play a game." Pinkies mood immediately brightened up as she forgot about the danger she was in.
"Oh my gosh I love to play games. What are we going to play? Pin the tail on the pony? Hopscotch? Tag? The strange puppet didn't acknowledge pinkie.
"All your life you have abused yourself. Partying every day, every single day. Life should not be treated as a party, it should be valued as the most important thing in your life. You should not waste every minute that life gives to you. Pinkie's smile began to fade the longer the doll talked. "Why do you eat more than you need to? Why not donate some to the less fortunate who starve well you indulge on sweets. You always leap away from your problems and ignore them like they never happened. Well, let's see if you can jump away from this problem." Pinkies eyes were wide in terror by now. "All four of your legs have been implanted by four surrounding blades. In order to escape you must jump out of the restraints. Should you fail to escape within sixty seconds the bombs around you will go off, getting rid of your problems forever. I have utter faith in you since you were able to leap away from so much unresolved differences. Live or die, make your choice." The puppet faded out and was replaced by a timer counting down from sixty
The ponies didn't know what bombs were but they knew it was something bad. "Noooo! Please, I'm soooo sorry for what ever I did to you, please don't kill me." Pinkie's plea for help were unsuccessful. She watched the tv count down to forty-five, the party pony knew what she had to do.
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" pinkie jumped with all her might but failed to escape her painful prison. The knives dove deeper into her muscle tendons. Hot blood spewed everywhere, covering the glass. Ponies screamed and ran in every direction. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rarity watched hopelessly as their friend cut herself. "NO NO NO NOO-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Pinkie pie made another fruitless attempt to jump out of the painful trap. The pink mare's legs burned like fire. She couldn't bare the pain anymore. Please just end the pain.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" the puppet's voice echoed throughout the town square during the last ten seconds of the count down. Suddenly a large purple blast tore through the fence and glass separating pinkie from freedom.
"I'll save you pinkie!" Twilight used her magic to bend back the knives holding pinkie in place causing the timer to stop. She quickly levitated her wounded friend next to her away from the death trap.
Pinkie looked to twilight. "Thank you." Pinkie then fell over onto the hard ground.
