Pac-Man Saves Ponies

Chapter 3,
Pac-Man: Oblivion

“Do you know anything else about these two monsters?” Flash asked Bon Bon who was laying in a hospital bed.

“No. I don’t.” Bon Bon answered.

“Any one of you?” Flash asked the other mares in the room.

They all shook their heads, no.

“That’s a shame.” Flash just walked away. He opened the hospital door, and met with a guard. “They don’t know anything else. Kill them.”

“Yes sir.” The guard saluted and Flash walked off.

The guard walked into the room to find the four mares crawling out the window.

“You’ll never take us alive!” Lyra shook her hoof that wasn’t in a cast at the guard.

First Octavia fell out the window, then Bon Bon, then Vinyl, then Lyra pushed herself out. Unfortunately for them, the hospital was 28 stories high. And they were at the top. Lyra met up with the others while falling down.

“Lyra.” Octavia said.

“Yeah, Octavia?” Lyra asked.

“I hate you.” They all plummeted to the ground.

Flash was whistling while coming out of the hospital. He flew up into the sky and made way to Canterlot castle.

Suddenly there was a burst of fire in the middle of the city, Flash sped towards it.

He landed to see the fire, a crowd of ponies had also walked by, forming a big circle around it. A human looking thing stepped out of it, looking around Canterlot. The human looking things head was a skull of fire, and he was dressed neck to toe in black leather jackets, pants, gloves and boots. Clearly a very serious man.

The flaming skull man then spoke, “I AM HADES! GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD! I am here for two demons who have been reported killing your princesses!” His voice boomed across Canterlot.

“Um, yes, hi mr underworld person.” Flash spoke shoving his way through the crowd.

“WHO DARES TO SPEAK TO ME IN SUCH A WAY!?” Hades demanded to know.

“Yeah, hi. My name is Flash Sentry, and I know where you can find those two.” Flash said.

“Oh. Cool. Hello, I’m Hades.” Hades shook Flash’s hoof, “But my friends call me paul.”

“Come with me. And I can give you what you need to know.” Flash motioned his hoof for Hades to follow him.

“Come on Puck, we need to run faster if we want to get away from Hades!!” The Torturer yelled

Puck said nothing, and continued to eat the orbs as fast as he could.

The two demons ran until they got to Canterlot, they hoped that they would be safe in the town, if only for an hour.

“Ok……. Let’s take a break……...I can’t run anymore” The Torturer said, clearly out of breath.

Puck looked around, they weren’t any ponies around, which was both a good and bad thing, it was good because nopony would see them, or Puck as The Torturer is invisible, but the bad thing was, if no ponies were there, where were they all at? Well we know, but they don’t.

“Do you see any pony?” The Torturer asked.

Puck made a beeping noise.

“That’s what I thought.”

The two demon started to walk into the empty town, both were scared out of their minds, but as they walked by the hospital, The Torturer stopped and said “Wait……...Are those the ponies I think they are?”

Puck looked at the hospital, and saw the four mares The Torturer loved to hurt, laying on the ground.

“I’ll be right back.” The Torturer said, then walked away.

Puck just watched the mares.

“This is the last time I listen to you Lyra.” Bon Bon said, in deep pain from the fall.

“How was I supposed to know we were that high?” Lyra replied.

“Oh, I dunno! Look down maybe?”

“Plus, it was the only way out, if we stayed there we would be dead.”

“ARE YOU SURE WE’RE NOT DEAD ALREADY?!”Octavia said.

“Keep your voice down. But lets be glad that we’re alive.” Lyra answered.

“Well I for one am glad to be away from that demon.” Vinyl blurted out.

“Agreed.” The other mares said.

“Hey girls?” Lyra asked.

“Yeah Lyra?” Bon Bon replied

“Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing a piano falling from the hospital roof?”

The other mare looked at the sky, just in time to see the piano land on top of them.

“Just so you all know, you can never get away from me.” The Torturer said.

The mares were in too much pain to reply, all they the was lay there, in pain and shock.

Back in Luna’s room her and Clyde were doing some catching up.

“And y’know I really think bear is a great colour, along with stephenson.” Clyde said as Luna banged her head against the wall.

“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!” Luna shouted at Clyde.

“I also like puppies. I’m glad you brought them up. My favorite type of puppy is a groundhog.”

-

Hades walked with Flash Sentry, they had been talking about the monsters and how they planned to get them back to Tartarus.

“So how do you plan on catching them?” Flash asked Hades.

“I’m not sure. Probably get an alicorn to summon them.” Hades answered.

“Can’t you?” Flash questioned.

“I do not have that kind of power here in this...” Hades looked around, “Hell hole you call a city.”

“Well…… There is one alicorn left, and she’ll be glad to help us.”

“Who?”

“Princess Luna.”

“Well then, we shall go talk with her.”

“She is in the castle that way.” Flash pointed towards the castle.

Luna had been trying to lower the sun and raise the moon, however the Clyde kept getting in the way of her concentration. Clyde had begun shouting out very strange words. He called it his singing hour time.

“NARWALTH!” He shouted.

“Would you shut up?!” Luna shouted back at him.

“Good, you’re harmonizing.” Clyde said.

“I swear! If you do not shut up, I will have to throw you into a giant pit!” Yelled Luna.

Then outside of the doors, she heard loud stomping sounds. They had continued and got louder and louder for about 50 seconds until they stopped just outside the door. Obviously Luna was freaking out, she tried to fly out but didn’t have the strength. She also tried teleporting but not enough magic could be used as she still had to raise the sun and moon.

Loud banging on the door started up. It banged four times before it burst open. The doors flew off the hinges and smashed to the ground. Dust covered the room and sight was barely optional. A silhouetted figure came from the doorway. It looked around the room and then walked in, standing on his two hind legs. He looked to have claws of some kind, and a floating head that was covered in fire.

The dust cleared up and it was Hades. Yeah, no shit. Hades walked over to the doors that were now inside Luna’s room.

“Sorry about that.” He said in a calm voice that didn’t suit his figure at all. He lifted the doors up and placed them on their respective places.

“Umm...” Luna looked shocked, big shocker, I know, “A couple quick questions. Who are you,? What are you? Why are you here? And, where did you come from?

“I am Hades, God of the underworld, I came here with Flash Sentry to ask you to summon two demons I have seem to lost.”

“Oh. Where is he?”

“Behind me.” Hades said pointing to Flash who was standing in the doorway.

“Hi Luna.” Flash waved.

Luna waved back before Hades slammed his fist into a nearby desk, which made her jump.

“I need you to do it now!” Hades yelled, “Can you summon the monsters?”

“Um. No, I can’t. Sorry.” Luna backed up, “I have to raise the moon. If I do what you tell me to, than we will all die.”

“Really? Well Flash seems to be hopeful for that.” Hades looked over to Flash and then back at Luna’s confused face, “What? You didn’t know? He’s trying to destroy Equestria. I thought you would have known.”

“Flash? Why?” Luna asked concerned.

“We need you to do it! THEY KILLED YOUR SISTER! Remember?” Hades shouted.

“The needs of many outway the needs of few. I will find the monsters, and kill them. But right now, it is important that more ponies get what they should have. Lives. And I will not give up my powers for something that is not even my duty.”

The fire surrounding Hades skull grew with his anger, “Bad idea!” He took Luna by the throat.

“Help. Flash.” Luna squeaked out.

“You better do what he says.” Flash said.

“No.” Luna struggled to breath, as she tried to get out of Hades grip.

“DO IT NOW!” Hades threw Luna through the doors, knocking them down again.

The Torturer looked at the castle and said, “Are you sure this is a good idea?”

Puck made a few beeping noises.

“Yes, I understand that we need to talk to whoever’s in charge, but they might kill us if we try to talk to them.”

Puck made some more beeping noises.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

The two demons then started to walk to the castle, but as they walked, they noticed a lack of guards, the whole place looked abandon, it was kind of creepy.

“Everywhere we go looks abandon, except for a few guards, and the four mares I like to hurt.” The Torturer remarked.

Puck made a beeping noise.

“What do you mean?”

Puck made another beeping noise.

“Yeah. What is that?” The Torturer took notice to a sound of things being destroyed, and loud crashes. He’s been in enough battles to know what it sounds like just from vague sounds from another room.

Puck made yet another beeping noise.

“Yeah. Someone’s in trouble. We better go help.” Footsteps started to be heard running down the hall, this was the Torturer running. And he also brought along Puck’s orbs.

Puck started eating the orbs and went down the hall.

The Torturer bursted through the doors to the hallway he heard the sounds in. “WAGH!” He screamed and ducked before an oncoming Luna could hit him.

She headed straight towards one of the orbs. The Torturer rearranged them just in time before she hit them. Although she did still hit the floor and it did still hurt. In fact, she cracked the ground.

She got up and was bleeding all over from the force of the impact. However, the wounds started closing and the blood went back into her.

“That’s not normal. Not even for a princess.” The Torturer questioned.

“Who said that?” Luna asked in fear.

“Don’t worry. it’s just me, the one who killed your sister.” The Torturer said, “I am the Torturer. And I’m guessing you are princess Luna-” A table was flung at both him and Luna, he jumped to Luna and caught her, he continued to roll onto the ground until he was far enough away from the table to cause no damage.

“Why are you saving me if you are just going to kill?”

“You speak lies woman.” The Torturer answered... I guess you can call that answering, I dunno. “Now then, get out of here. Me and Puck have some things to work out with Satan.” He cracked his knuckles... I guess. What is he anyways?

Luna started to run, but a blue maned pegasus with golden armor on flew in front of her, “Going somewhere princess?” He asked. OK, it wasn’t really a question but I’m not sure what that would be called doing.

“Stand down Flash!” Luna ordered.

“How about no.” Flash replied.

“I’m your princess, you shall do what I tell you too.”

“Not this time.” Flash smirked.

“Why not?”

“Because I’m helping Satan.”

“WHAT?!”

“You heard me, I’m with Satan now.”

“IT’S HADES!!!!” Hades yelled from the room.

“Right, sorry, Hades. I’m with Hades now.” Flash corrected himself.

“This must be a joke.” Luna said as she looks for a way around Flash.

“No, I assure you, this is all real.”

“.........Oh dear.” Luna squeaked out.

“Now then, would you kindly jump in a hole and die?”

“This isn’t Bioshock.” The Torturer said from behind Luna.

“Gah!” Luna jumped.

“Sorry, sometimes I forget I’m invisible.” The Torturer apologised.

“What are you doing here?” The princess of the night asked.

“Savin yer ass.” The Torturer answered.

“HEY!” Hades yelled at The Torturer.

“Oh shoot.” The Torturer was then smashed through the wall by Hades.

“Time to die.” Hades said walking through the destroyed wall, cracking his knuckles.

He ran up to punch The Torturer but The Torturer flipped backwards, onto his hands or whatever is on the end of his arms and kicked him.

The Torturer swiftly slid under Hades legs, but Hades grabbed him and lifted him up in the air and threw him to the ground. He left a small crater in the shape of his body, but unfortunately you don’t know what it is, but I do, na na, na na na! But I digress.

The Torturer flipped back up ready to fight.

Hades tried to trip him, but he jumped over his leg, and hit him.

Hades then responded by hitting The Torturer. And wow, did that hurt him. I mean like ouch, that punch is really hard. And the punch sent him flying back, can he get back up in time? We will find out right now.

The Torturer got up on his elbow, breathing heavily. He clearly wasn’t able to fight anymore. Too bad.

Hades walked up to him, lifting up his fist, ready to crush his skull in. Suddenly a column holding the room up broke off and fell onto Hades, and nearly onto The Torturer, but it’s cool. It only nearly hit him.

A beeping sound from where the column had just fallen from.

“Puck! Lets get out of here!” The Torturer yelled.

They both ran for the exit of the room as the ceiling collapsed.

They just barely made it through, dust flew everywhere and covered them both.

“I’m just saying, if you let me kill you I can destroy Equestria and start a new pony revolution on Earth, like Celestia wanted.” Flash said to Luna.

“But that is a bad thing. A.K.A, not good.” Luna retaliated.

“Yes, but if you just let me try, I won’t have to get killed.” Flash started to whine.

“Pappa Johns!” Clyde shouted, floating down the hall to Puck.

“Oh great.” The Torturer rolled his invisible eyes.

Puck took a orb in his mouth, though just enough to where he would be holding on to it, and threw it at Flash to get him out of their way.

Flash was electrocuted while he flung through a wall. That’s new to this series isn’t it?

But the force of that impact made the castle start to collapse.

“Run.” Luna squeaks.

They all ran like children, hurrying as fast as they could. They all ran out seconds before it collapsed. OK, it was actually a few minutes before. In fact, it still hasn’t collapsed.

“Ugh!” Flash grunted getting out of the room he was launched into. His coat was now brown and his hair stood up more than it usually did. “I’m gonna kill that fucking demon.” He said. Now the building can collapse in.

Hades hand smashed through the rubble, grabbing on to more destroyed castle. He pulled himself out more and finally he was out.

He walked over and reached into some more rubble, pulling out Flash, who is still alive. Strong bones I guess.

“We lost them.” Hades growled, holding on to Flash’s neck.

“Yes, yes. But we will find them.” Flash tried to calm him down.

“And if we don’t.” Hades saw the ghost and threw Flash behind his back. He took the ghost in his gloves, “I’ll destroy this world, along with everything and everyone in it.” He crushed Clyde who was struggling to get free of his grip. Clyde evaporated ito smoke, leaving only his eyes to fall to the ground. Hades stepped on the eyes and they got crushed.

“Well, that was a close one.” The Torturer remarked.

Puck made some beeping sounds.

“What?” The Torturer said as he looked at Luna who looked like she was about to go insane after all that happened, “You’re right, she is about to lose it.”

Puck made some more beeping noises.

“You want me to snap her out of it?... Alright.”

A few seconds later an invisible force slapped Luna across the face.

“Did that work?”

Puck shook his head, no.

“Darn……. This might work.”

A second later Luna got pick up by The Torturer and slammed her to the ground, hard.

“OWWW! What are you doing?!” Luna yelled

“I’m trying to stop you from going insane, but I don’t know how to do that, I make ponies insane, I’ve never stopped one from going insane.”

“Look, all I want to do now is die, I’ve lost my sister, the guard I trusted the most betrayed me, and I’m talking to the two demons who killed my sister, so do what you do best and kill me.” Luna cried.

“... No”

“What?”

“I’m not killing you, a few days ago, I would have, but not now, not after all I’ve seen, not after all I’ve done, when your sister summoned me, I was a no good, low life, monster who wanted everyone in the world to suffer.” He informed, “But now, I see things in a different light, I see a world full of happiness, full of laughter, full of love, well... It was. But it was a world I never got to see in my life, aside from a few brief moments, maybe that’s why I like to hurt others, to show them the world I lived in, so that I would know I wasn’t alone, but now I’ve changed, now I want to atone for what I’ve done, and though I will always be a torturer to four mares, I will not let this world be destroyed, so no, I’m not going to kill you, I won’t let anything kill you, for if you die, then all is lost.”

Both Luna and Puck sat there in silence, stunned at what The Torturer said.

For about two minutes no one said a word, till The Torturer spoke up again, “So this is Puck.” He pointed to Puck, even though Luna couldn’t see it.

Puck made a beeping noise, probably saying hello or something.

“Nice to meet the murderer of my sister.” Luna angrily exclaimed.

Puck made a lower than usual beeping noise.

“I’m sure she doesn’t mean it.” The Torturer tried to calm Puck down.

Puck made another beeping noise. Man, it would sure be nice if I could put some subtitles up for you guys, but I don’t want to.

“Luna, it’s hard to tell you this, but your sister wasn’t a good pony.” The Torturer tried to reason with Luna.

“But could her reasons be good? What was the purpose for it? Did her actions make her deserve consequences?” Luna questioned.

“I don’t know.” The Torturer started, “But something tells me killing her was for the better.” He looked down to her torso. “What happened to you?”

Her torso looked like it had been split in half but patched up.

“Him.” Luna pointed to Puck, “It was the last time I had seen my sister. And I somehow survived.”

The Torturer brushed his... Appendage? Across the mark. “So it’s you.” He whispered.

“What’s me?” Luna asked.

“I shouldn't say. It would kill me. Out of laughter, mostly.”

“Fine.” Luna grunted, pushing his invisible arm away. “So, Puck, was it?”

Puck made a beeping noise for what must be the eleventy bagillionth time by now.

“Hm. Sounds to much like ‘Fuck’. Lets change it.” Luna said.

“What?” The Torturer was confused.

“How about. Pack. Hmm. Pack, Pac.” Luna pondered for a bit, “There should be something else in there. Pac-Dude? That sounds kinda odd. Pac... Pac... Pac-Man! That’s it!”

The Torturer face palmed. Or face hoofed, or face clawed, or face pawed or... WHATEVER!

“So, you're name is Pac-Man, I've heard of worse names” The Torturer said

Pac-Man made some beeping sounds.

“Hey, leave me name out of this!”

Pac-man made some more beeping sounds.

“Ok, I don’t make fun of your name, you don’t make fun of my name, deal?”

Pac-Man shook his head, yes.

“Where do we go from here?” Luna butted in.

“We just go where we can.” The Torturer said as he started to walk off.

The others followed the sound of his footsteps.

“We need to figure out what to do.” Luna mentioned.

“Right now, we can’t do much.” The Torturer started. “.. Unless.”

“What?” Luna asked. Pac-Man beeped at the same time so I assume he was asking ‘What’ also.

“In an old castle, there stands a statue. In the statues hands is a sword. This sword is the only known sword that call kill gods. I believe it stands.” Pause for dramatic effect and such, “In the castle of the two pony sisters!” Lightning crashed down from the sky and thunder cackled not long after, hitting The Torturer square in his face, smoke came out from him.

“Oops. Sorry about that.” A female voice from above apologised.

“Derpy? Is that you?” The Torturer asked.

“Uh. Yes.” The pegasus answered.

“Well don’t just sit there! Come here ya old nut!”

A wall-eyed grey pegasus flew down from the cloud.

“It’s nice to see you again Jonathan.” Derpy hugged him.

“She can see you?” Luna looked in confusion, and then stared for a few more moments, “Wait, Jonathan?”

“Well, yeah. She can see me because of her eyes.” The Torturer informed.

“So, her wall-eyes gives her the power to see you?”

“No you idiot! She can see things most normal ponies can't.” The Torturer laughed and smacked Luna on the back of the head, “The walleyes are just a side effect.”

Luna stared dumbfounded, “How?”

“She fell through a time vortex, I believe it was. Something terrible had just happened to her, or something.” The Torturer explained, “I found her about 2000 years ago, she was the only one who could see me. I was shocked. I had gotten ready to torture her, but somehow, we became best buddies. Then I had gotten captured in the great war of the gods. And we haven’t seen each other since.”

“Wait, 2000 years ago?” Luna questions. “Isn't that impossible? Unless she’s immortal.”

“Well she was when I found her. She can travel through time you see, as long as she doesn’t damage time, if she nearly does, she gets sent right back here..” The Torturer explained.

“......... This day just gets weirder and weirder.”

“I know, I like it!”

“So what have you been up too?” Derpy asked.

“Oh…….Um…… Drinking chocolate milk?” The Torturer covered up.

“Is that all?”

“I’ve also been eating muffins.”

“MUFFINS!!!!” Derpy exclaimed with joy, “I love muffins!”

“I know you do Derpy.” The Torturer pat her on the head.

“Well, I should get going, see you around.” Derpy said as she walked off.

“Good bye!” The Torturer waived, even though no pony saw it, he then looked at Pac-Man and Luna, who had confused looks on their faces, “What?”

“You told her that you've been eating muffins and drinking chocolate milk, and we both know that’s not true.” Luna replied.

“Yeah…….. I had to lie to her.”

“Why?” Luna asked.

“Because she doesn't know I like to hurt ponies.”

“But why didn't you tell her the truth?”

“Look at me.”

“I can’t, you’re invisible.”

“That’s right, the only pony who has seen me in all my life is Derpy, and I’m afraid that if I tell her the truth, she’ll think I’m a monster… Which I am, but I’d rather not have her know I am.” The Torturer said.

“So you won’t tell her that you hurt others for fun, because you’re afraid she won’t be your friend?” Luna looked a bit more confused then before.

“That sums it up.”

“... You are an odd demon.”

“Thank you.”

“That wasn't a compliment!” Luna grit her teeth.

“It was to me.”

“Fine, lets just go find this stupid sword! But we need to walk there. I’m out of power.” Luna looks off of the edge of Canterlot and into the forest quite a ways away.

Pac-Man beeped. Bout time! It’s been, what? 529 words since he last did? But, what ever, getting off track.

“What did he say?” Luna asked. And finally someone asks that! I mean really I can’t believe this- d’oh, whatever! I’m getting off track.

“He asked how do we get down from here?” The Torturer talked for Pac-Man.

“Well that’s easy.” Luna started, “We just... Dyuuuum...” She looked at her wings which were pretty much broken, “No flying.” She struggled to lift a rock off the ground with her magic, “No magic. How would we-”

“HOUSE!” The Torturer yelled and pushed Luna out of the way, along with himself.

A house was thrown at them, it barely missed Luna and The Torturer, it shattered through the ground and took The Torturer and Luna almost down with it. It splashed into the water below, along with the destroyed ground, The Torturer grabbed Luna before she could fall, and helped her up to the edge.

The Torturer tried reaching out for something else to hold onto, but he slipped and fell into the water below.

“Get back here!” Hades yelled, stomping through a few houses along his way.

“It’s settled, we jump!” Luna screamed and dropped. She fell and boy, did she ever fall! The water at the bottom was getting closer and closer, “This will hurt allot.” She covered her face with her hooves. And sure enough, it hurt like a bitch! She landed so hard that she started bleeding. She jumped out of the water, “OH SHIT! MASSIVE HEADACHE!” She groaned. Suddenly she away pulled away by a strange unknown force, “WAGH!”

Pac-Man and all his newfound named glory came splashing down into the water.

“And now, we run!” The Torturer said as he started to run away, dragging Luna with him.

Pac-Man started to follow the two, eating as many orbs as he could.
