MLP: Ponies taste like magic
They're made, not born. But sometimes that's questionable.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAgony. That is the first feeling running through my body as my eyes manage to open. I try to move, try to speak, try to do anything. But I can't. My limbs...I can't even feel them. I don't know how I look, but it's probably shit.
I manage to get my vision clear enough to see all the damage I've taken in the last...-all the damage I took in that fight is still there and has not healed.
'Why hasn't it healed? Something has to be blocking my healing...if that's even possible.' I try to call my kin for help, but something's blocking it. 'How is this possible?'
"Oh, believed me, it is very possible." Before I can even make out who said that, I'm lifted into the air by my neck and get a blurry view of the bitch herself, Celestia.
I try to speak but my mouth is in too much pain. Before I can even say a thing through my mind, I'm thrown against a wall, or at least I think it's a wall. I try to scream in pain, but all I can manage is a short gasp. My vision blurs again and I can just about see Celestia walking towards me. I try to look around some more but I can't seem to make anything out. It looks like I'm in some sort of...cage?
"You know, Ex. I went to go check on my sister, see how damaged she was or if she was okay. Knowing her, she probably tried to fight you." Celestia puts a hoof on my stomach and begins to push down. A sickining cracking sound is heard the more she pushes down. "But, you see...my sister is currently, to my knowledge, gone. And, knowing you, you most likely did something. And I know she's not dead."
'As if I'd tell you. All you need to know is that she is now experiencing what I felt in the past because of you.'
Celestia's eyes go wide and she lifts me up to stare into her now white eyes.
"So help me, Ex. If you're even joking around-"
'I lost my ability to joke after you BEAT IT OUT OF ME!'
Celestia slams me into the ground, damaging me even more, and throws me against the cage again. Even though she is angry, I can tell she's holding back. If she wasn't, I would be dead by now.
She stamps up to my sprawled out form and glares at me.
"I might actually feel bad, if you didn't deserve it!" My mouth manages to let a dry chuckle.
'F-funny. You know-well, of course you don't. But, I was about to say something similar with Luna.' I get kicked in the side and role onto my stomach.
" Luna doesn't deserve anything!"
'Oh, but she does. I don't claim to be a person of justice, but even the gods themselves would agree that you and you're sister belong in Tartarus after what you did to me.'
"You deserve everythin-"
'I didn't deserve half of that, bitch! I'll admit it; I was a dick, I didn't care about you, your sister, your ponies, anything. Maybe I deserved death for killing all those ponies, maybe I deserved to be jailed for life. But after you did what you did...I always use to assume death was the worst thing anyone can go through. Use to.'
$#$#$#$#$#$#$
I hiss as Luna 'finishes' with me again. I don't even have any sexual organs, but that doesn't bother Luna. I still have my mouth. Luna pats me on the head. I lunge at her but am quickly halted by my...leash. These god damn princesses are treating me like a dog! Those cunts.
Luna frowns at me and looks me over with her head cocked to the side.
"Why art thou so hostile? Thou would think that it would be enjoyable for a pet to please thy master."
"You ain't shit! Cunt! Fuck you, fuck this, fuck that! But fuck you in particular!" Luna goes to the door and turns to look at me while she gets dressed.
"Maybe we need sister's help to tame thee. Though we do not wish to do that, Sapphire."
" My fucking name ain't Sapphire, whore. And don't you fucking dare bring that spawn of hell in here!"
Luna nods to herself and walks out of her room, after she gets dressed. I try to claw at my rope, so i can escape. I try to break free with all my might, trying anything that might help. Fuck, I'll start singing let it go! I just want out!
"No! Don't bring-BRING HER SO THAT I CAN END HER! I-I don't want-I NEED...don't do this-DO THIS. Not that again." I lay on the floor while waiting for...her to come.
I hear the door open. I don't even bother to look up as I feel two figures above me.
"Sapphire, up." I don't respond. I don't know why I didn't, maybe it was to keep whatever little bit of pride I had left.
" See, sister, he's not doing as he's told." I can hear a sigh escape from Satan in horse's clothing.
"Thou would think an animal would know their superior when they see them."
Suddenly my entire body erupts in pain as I feel like I'm sitting inside the sun. I try to scream, but nothing escapes my voice. All I can manage is to flail around. It only lasts for a split second, but, for me, it felt like hours. Never before have I even imagined this much pain was possible. I'm not sure how my body can even handle this. No physical wound is on me, but mentally...a simple scar isn't enough to explain it. I can't even escape this hell in my dreams.
Celestia glares at me and with an icy tone in her voice says:
"Up." I manage to wobble my way onto my four legs. I feel a light tapping on my head. "See, Luna, all thou have to doth is put it in it's place. It's a mere animal, and animals can be domesticated."
Oh, yes. I'm a 'mere,' 'unintelligent' 'animal.' If these ponies could actually understand me...well, I don't know. But if they did I would at least get some joy in making them mad.
$#$#$#$
"How dare you say such a thing!" I get thrown into the bars of the prison cell and can feel a sharp pain all other my body. I've probably broke something, everything.
'...ha, how dare I? Very easily, thank you. Tell me, did you get hunted down like an animal? Treated like an animal? You haven't even said sorry for what you put me through!' I feel a sharp pain smash into the side of my head. I hit the floor and stay there.
'...'
"What!? Nothing left to say? Good. And for the record, I probably would have said sorry of you weren't a monster." I get thrown back into the center of the prison cell. "I'll let you heal a small amount. I don't want you dead, no. I'm saving that for pleasure for Luna."
She exits the cell and I lay here thinking back to everything. Yes, I killed a lot of ponies. But even then I felt a bit bad, but I just told myself it's nature. They tried to hunt me down, I ended up hunting them down, simple. I would never go out of my way to kill them, I would always feel...-well it's weird. I would feel bad and feel like a monster, but at the same time it felt...like winning. Have you ever had that sense of joy when you won something? I have, and when I first killed and got my senses back, I was horrified. And that's normal, right. But...after a while, it felt like...like winning. I guess...I'm not sure if I was a monster when I got here, maybe I was. But after I escaped, I can tell you that I definitely went out of my way to kill as many ponies as I could, out of my way to become a monster... Maybe it was then I lost my morals, turned into a monster. Maybe I was always a monster in the inside and that was the push that unleashed it. Maybe this was all out of spite of an insane bastard.
To be honest, I don't give a flying fuck. All I want-NEED-is to kill-DESTROY-those that oppose me. Heh, I think my instinct is coming back. Yep, good old voice in my head...
True to Celestia's words, my body's healing a bit. I sigh and try to stand up on my two legs, but I quickly fall down in pain.
'This...this is just sad. I can't even crawl anywhere. I never thought I would say this...but, Discord. Discord I-DON'T-need you're help!'
$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
I feel a shiver go up my spine. I shake the feeling off and have a look around. Xenos are still doing their thing, taking animals to feed on and putting face huggers on a few. I decide I should check the time and I see it's been seventy minutes, or an hour and ten minutes. Now, I'm no expert at geography. But I'm pretty sure that Ex should be here by now. It take about fifty minutes to reach Ponyvile from Canterlot and maybe five minutes to reach the Everfree. Then again, I'm just estimating.
"Hey, Xeno," I call out. A passing Xeno hisses at me. "Yeah, I know I'm an dick, but could you see how Extinction is?" The Xeno says nothing for a while and hisses back. "Wait, you can't connect with him? Something must be wrong...Ha, wrong. This is Ex, he can handle himself." I feel a shiver go up my spine again. "Buuuuuut, a little check won't hurt."
I snap my fingers and appear outside. Or, more specifically, The Everfree Forest. I do a quick little scan off the area, but can't find Ex.
'Odd.' I decide to head to Ponyvile and see if he's there.
I arrive to see everypony in Ponyvile going on with their lives as normal. Some are shopping while others are having idle chit-chat. This is bad, well, for me. Ex would and should be here tearing everyone's asshole out and shoving it inside other ponies asses.
"Canterlot, Canterlot, C-a-n-t-e-r-l-o-t, Canterlot. Maybe he's clearing everything out and lost track of time?" I say to myself. I'm pretty sure I'm just trying to convince myself he's alright by now.
With a snap of my fingers I'm above Canterlot. The city has definitely seen better days. Half the castle has collapsed and the other half is only just on the mountain. The ponies below-mostly the gaurd-are cleaning the city of debris from the castle. In all but a few seconds, it clicks in my head. Something is wrong. Ex wouldn't let a single pony live. Ex would burn this place into ashes, eat the ashes, defecate them and spit acid on it while burying it in a ten mile long hole. These ponies shouldn't be here, Canterlot shouldon't be here.
"I need to find Ex, fast."
$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
"Tell *crack* me *crack* where *crack* my *crack* sister *crack* is!" Celestia shouts at me. With every word she says she hits me, hard.
'F-fuck...go fuck yourself.' I quickly erupted in a fury of coughs and hit the ground. THAT'S RIGHT! NEVER LET A WEAKER BEING TELL YOU WHAT TO DO!
Celestia growls in anger at me. I actually feel scared. NO YOU DONT. Here I am, on the ground with no hope but to do as I'm told, trying to face a so-called goddess. Funny how history repeats it's self. FUNNY HOW SHE THINKS THIS HURTS.
"Just know this, Ex. I can very easily lure Discord out and get him to tell-"
"Ha...ha...r-r-rreal-ll-yy-y, *cough*" I manage to say, "yy-yooo-o-uu th-th-thiii-nn-kk...D-Dis...coo-oo-rr-red..."
"I'm surprised you can actually manage to speak. But you're wasting time. As I was saying, I can get Discord to tell me where she is. All I'm offering is a way for you to not suffer."
"F-fff-ff-uuucc-cckkk-"
"Me? Ha! You really are a monster. I bet you don't care about all the innocent ponies you've killed, all the children turned orphan. You are nothing but a monster."
"Thhha-aaatt...mayb-b-bb-eee so. Buu-u *cough* y-yyoou...ev-vvennn...worse." I cough again and just decide to speak with my mind. THAT'S IT, SHOW THE CUNT HOW MUCH OF A MONSTER SHE IS!
'You made me suffer pain I could never dream of. You made me not care about you or your ponies, you M-ade me into th-This! If you hadn't doNe that, I probAbly never would have even acknowledged you POniEs!'
"I did no such thing! You were this monster from the beginning!" Celestia shoots back, "You're insane!"
'Oh,-DIE-maybe I was,' I say, ignoring the insane comment. 'But, I guess I just imagined all the pain I felt before. You're the one going on about 'friendship' and 'being right' all the time. But, tell me...how does two wrongs make a right? If you're so 'pure' then you will-DIE-know that. How is acting like a monster to a monster good?'
"My wrongs are for good, while yours are for vile desires." I squeeze a dry chuckle out of my mouth.
'That just depends how you look at it-CUNT. In your eyes I'm a monster that threatens your kind. In my eyes it's the other way around-EXCEPT YOU'RE NOT AS MUCH OF A THREAT. Tell me, is wanting-NEEDING-to protect my kin bad?'
"My ponies have morals and dreams, you're...you're just a sadistic, sick, twisted, insane creature; and so is your kin." I lift my face up to look Celestia in the eyes.
'I didn't hear a no. But I don't need-WANT-to hear your answers, I already know you.'
"Oh?" Celestia questions, folding her arms.
'Oh, yes. You see, you just want your kingdom to be a world isolated from the horrors of reality. Do you ever hear about all the homeless that litter the streets of the Zebra Lands? Mintor kingdom? Gryphon kingdom? The wars? Terrorists? No. And you know why? You just want to keep this place as innocent as I five year old girls mind.'
Celestia looks unpleased with what I've just said and glares down at me.
"And? Is it wrong to protect me ponies? If anything, you've proven that I'm right in doing so. By keeping my ponies happy and away from the terrors of life, they don't and won't become...anything like you. If I have to do this to protect them from this, then I shall. Besides, I've lived through history; I'm doing my ponies a favor by not letting them know about what I know and have experienced."
Celestia walks out of my cage and locks it. I try to see where I am, but I can't make it out. It looks like I'm in some sort of cave.
"Now; now that you're strong enough to move," she says from behind the bars, "you'll probably try to escape. So I've taken the liberty to enchanting the cell. Discord himself wouldn't be able to get out." She smiles smugly and turns her back on me. "And as much as I enjoy our talks, I need to check on the Elements of Harmony and other injured ponies there are. So, bye," she hisses at me with a cold voice. It sounded like she was trying to make me suffocate on her breath. She spreads her wings and takes off.
I lay down and my eyes begin to blur. I take a little look around and see a statue a little bit away from my cage. My eyes go wide as I make out what, or rather who, the statue is. I manage to think one last thing before I lose consciousness:
'Chrysalis?'
