Banned From Equestria
Chapter Thirty: Fear
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Haha! I’m home! Finally I’m home!” I pranced around my house, hugging the cushions, kissing my rug. I fell back against my bed, feeling around. I exhaled and closed my eyes. “Boy, wait til’ my friends hear this one! ‘Trapped in a world full of ponies!’ It’ll probably be one of those stories I’ll rant about when I’m drunk.” I reached around in my pocket, pulling out Pinkie Pie. I tapped her on the muzzle. “…And I’ve even got you, somehow, here too! This is just perfect!” I hugged her and she hugged back.
“Wow, Earth, this is where you live? Cooooooool!”
“Yeah but…” I said, my voice trailing off. I looked at a nearby wall. The paint was melting. “Ew.” I uttered. I looked at Pinkie Pie, who had adopted a “zalgo” coloration, complete with black liquid pouring out from her eyes. Her crimson pupils fixated on me and she reached towards me.
“WAKE UP.”
“BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA-“ I screamed, my hooves flailing rapidly.
“Sssshhh! Sshh! Be quiet!” Spike moved his finger towards my mouth.
“Wh-What’s going on?” I asked, apparently waking up from the nightmare I was having.
“I couldn't leave you in there with Twilight, so I dragged you out. You’re welcome, by the way.”
I twitched suddenly, most likely a result of the spell she used on me. “What happened in there? There was a flash that rang throughout Ponyville and half of Equestria!”
“Let’s just say Twilight used a spell that could enhance orgasm.”
“Th-That’s gross.”
“Felt pretty awesome…”
He shook his head rapidly. “I don’t care…look, my train is leaving soon. I’ll catch you around, Earth!” he waved cheerfully as he walked away.
I don’t want to hurt Twilight’s feelings though…I don’t want her to think it was a one night stand. I should go back
I trotted back to Twilight, taking care not to wake up any of Ponyville’s denizens. I passed by Fluttershy’s house, when I heard a yelp. Thinking she was hurt, I went over to her door and was about to knock when I heard Fluttershy’s voice, and then another yelp, louder and sounding more agonized than before. I checked her window to see nothing. I noticed a strange light coming from around my hooves and noted a window. I got on my stomach and peeked in the window.
“Ooh…Rarity I bet you’d make your momma proud!”
“Fl-Fluttershy whatever has gotten into you?!”
Oh, they’re just having sex. It’s…strangely…erotic…err…
I sat and watched, as Fluttershy performed incredibly acrobatic poses. I felt myself almost in a trance, wanting to see more. I could see Rarity was afflicted by the same feeling as I, as her mouth dropped slightly and her iris’ grew large. Without warning, Fluttershy instantly kicked in one of Rarity’s eyes into its socket. Rarity didn’t move nor say anything. Fluttershy kicked in the other eye, causing it to implode and blood to go everywhere.
I shook out of it upon the horrifying sight. Fluttershy grabbed a hold of Rarity’s jaw and upper mouth and began to pull them in separate directions, hard. Within a few moments, Rarity’s jaw snapped, and Fluttershy moved onto her legs. She pulled them apart, and I heard a slight snap. Fluttershy then sat and stared at Rarity, who was seemingly immune to everything that had just happened. I saw Fluttershy’s head bob momentarily and in a blink of an eye, Rarity was attempting to scream her head off, but couldn’t. I heard her trying to blubber out where she was, when she was suddenly still and stopped speaking. Rarity directed her head towards me.
How the buck does she see me?
When I noticed Fluttershy slowly starting to crane her head backwards, I realized I had to NOPE the fuck out of there. I cantered all the way back to the Café, and I triple-locked the door when I entered. I barricaded my door and my window when I got into my room, and left the light on.
I didn't go to sleep the entire night.
The next morning...
I heard knocks at my door and Pinkie pleading with me to let her in. After removing the barricades, I slowly opened my door to see Pinkie standing outside my door…along with Fluttershy. I slammed my door hard. “S-Sorry! I’m just…naked! And I have to have a meeting with Rarity today! That’s all!”
I heard Pinkie Pie ask what being naked meant.
She knocked again.
“I’m…really sore…”
“Then let me help you, silly, you know how good I am at making you feel better!”
I shuddered, thinking of how lewd that sounded and couldn't believe she said that in front of Fluttershy. I exhaled and slowly opened the door. Fluttershy was gone. “Hey…where’s Fluttershy?” I whispered to Pinkie. She looked confused upon the question.
“Fluttershy…? I dunno, probably at her house.”
“Wasn’t she just here?”
“Nope! Just me.”
Must’ve been a hallucination…ow.
I reached towards my side and clutched it.
I can’t believe how fast I ran last night…even after all that hard work.
“Pinkie, do you have an ice pack or something I could put on this?”
“What’s an ice pack?”
Figuring I could better Ponyville’s medical routines a little better, I taught her how to make an ice pack.
“…and…there ya go!”
“Wow that does feel nice! But why don’t you just heal yourself? Unicorns can do that…but you already know that!”
I stared dumbfounded at her.
Isn't that against the rules or something? That seems a bit too overpowered, there has to be some sort of downside.
“Is there some sort of downside?”
“Well, duh, it takes a lot of magic.”
Thanking her, I retreated up to my room to mend my bruises and sores I sustained from yesterday. With much concentration, it worked. I felt incredible. I ran down back to Pinkie, asking her what she had originally wanted in the morning. “Oh, yeah! It actually had to do with Fluttershy. She said she wanted to see you! Tonight! Are you guys having a party or something?! Oh, can I come? Please?”
Oh buck it, I’ll just go now. I won’t give her the satisfaction of her way.
“I need to meet with Rarity first.” I told Pinkie.
“Okie dokey lokie!”
I went on my way to Rarity’s Boutique; unsurprisingly, it was locked. Remembering that Sweetie Belle was gone too, I realized I had no legitimate way of getting inside. I sneaked around back and found a slightly ajar window; dried blood stained the edges of the window, while the darkness resonated inside.
So I opened the window and went in.
. . . .
I exited the building the same way I came in. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that could link Fluttershy to Rarity, as there were no signs of any struggle or off in the house. It would've seemed that Rarity was close to the window when Fluttershy abducted her. I went back to the Café to warn Pinkie, only to find a crowd. I pushed through them, moving to the door which was oddly locked.
Even Mr. Cake and Mrs. Cake are gone?
I turned to face the crowd, who instantly recognized me.
“Hey, you’re that Unicorn, Earth!”
“Earth!”
“Hey there!”
I cleared my throat, asking the crowd, “Does anypony know what’s going on here?”
They all shook their heads in the negative.
“Did anypony see where Pinkie, Mr. and Mrs. Cake went?” Again, they all shook their heads. One foal piped up
“Yeah, I saw that Fluttershy walk to her home with them!” Upon the mentioning of Fluttershy, the townsponys looked worry-free. I could tell that they were all initially worried about them, and knew they should still be.
“Look, I’m going to go over there. If I’m not back, search Fluttershy’s house. I have a feeling she might be doing something evil.”
The townsponys simply stared at me incredulously.
“How could you ever say Fluttershy is evil?”
“I didn't think you were that kind of stallion, Earth! To pick on innocent mares like that!”
“Forget you, man.”
They all dispersed, apparently hurt by my remark.
Great. Looks like I’m on my own.
I ran towards Fluttershy’s house, passing Rainbow Dash on the way there.
“Rainbow! Look, I think Pinkie and her…guardians there, went on vacation, would you mind if I crash at your house for a few days?”
She looked towards me and nodded cheerfully.
“Sure thing Earth, but where-?”
“Sorry, don’t have time to talk bye!”
Man, I sound like Pinkie Pie.
I ran full speed to Fluttershy’s house. She did have a head start, but with a little luck maybe I could intercept Pinkie and save her. When I got there, I saw the four of them standing outside the door.
Good, they don’t notice me. I suppose I should act tired.
“Woo…Oh geez…hey guys…ha…” I started, acting as if I had been chasing them all along. “I was, uh…whoo…calling you guys…how could you not hear me?” Fluttershy slowly turned around, smiling. “Oh, I’m sorry Earth, I was having these guys for dinner tonight, and was trying my hardest to make sure they didn't get lost.”
Pull the old one-two trick right off the bat I see.
“Lovely, look…I need to borrow Pinkie for a few minutes, she owes me a…she owes me something.” Fluttershy looked around, before closing her eyes. An ominous black aura began to slowly fade in around her. “Or, uh, or not. Either one’s good with me.” I shakily said, starting to back up.
She opened her eyes, which had adopted a pale look. She stamped her hoof on the ground and the other three turned around, their eyes already gouged out.
N-No…
“Would you still like to borrow her?” Fluttershy taunted, the smell of rotting flesh suddenly becoming unbearably strong.
“What have you done to them?”
“Every day I have to live with them taunting me, hating me. What do I show them in turn? Kindness. That’s all I ever show anypony. But ponies take that for granted…and they walk all over me!” Fluttershy yelled, her voice lowering an octave or two.
“Wait, why don’t you just take those assertive lessons agai-“
“Oh, those ‘lessons’ helped. And what did I turn into? A bully! What I wanted to be all along. But nooooo I’m the Element of Kindness, I don’t get to have a little fun, so I had to drop the act. But I…But I really love this feeling I have. This anger…this darkness.” Fluttershy said, surprising me completely by her change of heart.
“Wh-What do you plan on doing? Surely you know the other ponies are going to start to notice other’s missing.”
“Really? Have you noticed Twilight is gone yet? I grabbed her and Rarity last night…oh they were so much fun. How they screamed for mercy, how they begged for me to stop…and then finally, how they begged me to kill them.”
“You may have a point there,” I said, shuddering to how close I may have been to getting abducted too, “But everypony knows the Cake family and Pinkie are missing! In fact, they know that they’re with you!”
She raised a hoof, taken aback. “Then it looks like all of Ponyville will suffer. All of Equestria will, if need be. And without the Elements of Harmony to stop me… nopony will be able to stop me.”
Thinking how this was all turning into a really bad situation, I sparked my horn. Fluttershy had gone over the deep end, that’s for sure. If her pale eyes and the three eyeless ponies behind her didn't prove that, I didn't know what would. “Oh, you’re going to fight me?” she asked innocently. She stamped her hoof on the ground and within an instant the two Cakes’ dropped, dead. Pinkie remained standing.
“Don’t…Don’t you lay a fucking hoof on her you monster!”
She crept around her, putting a hoof around her shoulder. Pinkie’s face suddenly frowned, and I could see tears erupting from her once full eyes.
“I…Don’t…You!” I managed to choke out. I ran my hoof through the dirt, preparing to charge.
“Ah ah ah! Don’t move Earth, or she…well, you know. Dies.”
Pinkie had seemingly regained ability to move and talk, because she was now flailing and screaming for help. Fluttershy, disgusted with her old friend, held her head steady while she punched her mouth. Blood began to trickle out of her mouth.
“You bitch!” I yelled, firing off a bolt at Fluttershy.
She quickly dodged. “Well, you didn't move. So I’ll give you that. I warn you, though. You’d better not fire off another one.”
I didn't listen, and fired off one. Instead of dodging, Fluttershy directed Pinkie in front of it. It impacted, and Pinkie squealed in pain. She began to cry even harder, and Fluttershy put her ear close to her mouth.
“Oh…is that so? Really? Uh-huh…Earth, Pinkie’s wondering why you shot her. She says you two had something.”
Pinkie Pie rapidly shook her head, and Fluttershy, tired of the struggling, quickly snapped her neck.
“No!”
A shrill voice suddenly cried out behind me, “Fluttershy?! What the- what the buck?!”
“Hm?”
Fluttershy and I, both surprised, turned out heads toward its direction.
It was Rainbow Dash.
“Fluttershy, wh-what are you doing?!”
“Fluttershy…she killed Pinkie.” I muttered, falling to the ground, a broken stallion. “And she killed Twilight…and Rarity…who knows how many more she’ll kill.” The sound of a loud crack focused me back in on reality, and I saw Fluttershy tearing off Rainbow’s wings and disabling her legs. Rainbow Dash was in tears.
“Fluttershy, stop! Pl-Please, I’ll make sure nopony ever treats you bad again!” Rainbow pleaded with her. Fluttershy responded by gouging out Rainbow Dash’s left eye and then pulling the now empty space apart, splitting her head in two.
“No! Stop killing ponies! Please!” I begged to Fluttershy. Perhaps somewhere deep within her resided the old one. Fluttershy directed her head towards me and stamped her hoof on the ground. Pinkie got back up, and Twilight and Rarity emerged from her house. The latter two had skin hanging off their bodies and parasprites crawling through their eyes. She grinned evilly at me. “There was a time where a please would have gotten me to see reason. But now…I just want to see Equestria burned.”
She went to Pinkie, who had apparently regained full consciousness and recovered from death, and punched her stomach. She doubled over, crying again.
“STOP!” I went to stop Fluttershy, but was restrained by Twilight and Rarity, whose parasprites began to jump around on my body. “D’awww. You care about her so much but lack the ability to stop me.” I tried to fire off a bolt, but found myself unable too, my horn simply fizzing.
Shit. Those ones I fired before and the healing spell must’ve had its toll. I just need to wait a few minutes before I can fire another one!
Fluttershy resumed her beating, even going so far as to tear off Pinkie’s tail.
“W-Why…please just stop…don’t do this!” I begged, crying hysterically.
“…I suppose you’re right. It is time to stop.” She threw Pinkie on the ground.
Pinkie reached out to me and managed to utter out, “Earth, please he-!” before Fluttershy caved in her skull with a rock.
“Isn’t that great? She called for help. You were her last light in the dark world and you let her die. You’re something else, Earth.” Fluttershy taunted.
She knew that she was breaking my spirit, and it was working. I felt useless. There was nothing I could do. Without warning, Fluttershy revived Pinkie Pie again, and beat her again.
“No…No!” I cried out, lowering my head down in shame. Pinkie Pie was below me and I could see tears streaming out of her face. She mouthed “I forgive you” before her organs erupted out of her mouth; Fluttershy had jumped on top of her stomach. That set me over the edge and I began to sob uncontrollably.
“Well, there’s no reviving from that, unfortunately. But it looks as if…” She lifted my head to face hers, and I could see my reflection in her eyes; my eyes were pale. “Ah good! Your spirit is broken. Now I can have fun with you!”
“Celestia…no, please just ki-…no just let me go.” I said. I still had a little hope. Fluttershy frowned, still staring into my eyes. Color had returned. Reinvigorated, I managed to send a small jolt at Fluttershy, shocking her and sending her backwards.
That’s all I have…
She roared, and flapped her wings hard. She came up to me, “It doesn't matter if your spirit is broken. I've always hated you. I can’t believe I had sex with you in the EverFree Forest. You and your small dick!”
All things considered, that was pretty unnecessary.
She threw her arm back, preparing to take out my eyes.
“Have fun in hell.” Fluttershy said, her eyes becoming pure black and leaking black fluid.
Wait…hell? That’s…?
She threw her hoof forward, the sky suddenly collapsing on itself and the ground turning to ash.
Time stopped.
