Mutation Extermination

Riot's POV

I woke up, my head throbbing in pain, last thing I remember is being knocked out, and hearing everypony gasp. I looked around, terror started to fill my soul, right next to me was the guard, brutally torn apart. His left arm was missing, his face was mostly there, except for the chunck of flesh missing from the left side of his forehead.

Freaking out, I quickly stood up and backed away. I stopped as I felt myself falling, "oof" I had the wind knocked out of me. I looked at what I tripped over, I lost my lunch at what I saw. Twilight was laying on the ground, dead, half of her was missing, her eyes were a mushed up glob on the ground a few feet in front of her, for a second there I thought the rest of her was nearby, it wasn't.

I walked for a little while, looking at the dead body of a pony every now and then. "Help!" I stopped dead in my tracks, "please somepony! Help me!" That voice, I know it, but who did it belong to?

My eyes went wide when I realized who was crying for help, derpy. I started sprinting in the direction I heard her voice, her pleas were getting louder. As I made it to my destination, I smiled, there she wasa perfectly OK.

As I started to walk towards her, she turned to face me, she smiled and started running towards me. Suddenly a tail lashed out and grabbed her, she screamed. Paralyzed by fear, I watched her get pulled back, then I saw where the tail was coming from, a big hole in the ground.

I started to run towards her, trying my best to keep up with the tail. She reached out towards my hand, I was about to grab her, but something grabbed me. I turned my head fast at what it was, I screamed, then leader of the mutants had me with her claws, it pulled me in closer, opened her mouth to reveal dozens upon dozens of sharp tiny teeth, ready to cut into me.

I sat up quick screaming, seeing that it was all a dream made me smile, but that faded quickly. I looked around at where I was, I was in a jail cell. Off to my left I noticed a guard standing there staring wide eyed at me, hair standing on end, "why the hell are you screaming at 3 in the morning?!" The guard asked.

I just stared at him for two minutes, "I... I had a nightmare, a terrible, terrible nightmare" I replied honest on every word. The guard seemed to ease up a little at hearing that, but still looked at me, this time with an angry glare.

"Well your tough outta luck, we don't help me inmates with nightmares" the guard said, keeping the angry glare. I just shrugged and laid back down, hoping to get some more rest, after all, I had a lot to explain to the judge tomorrow.

Applebloom's POV

I slowly but surely woke up, feeling a sudden pain in my leg and arms I looked at them, my blood ran cold. My arms and hands were terribly ripped up, I huge portion of skin missing on my right arm, but my leg was worse, it was bleeding in several different places, the bone was sticking out a little, me leg bending the wrong way.

I tried to recall what happened but stopped, something was making its way over here. I dodged behind a pile of dead deer, bunny's, and a timber wolf. I gagged at the smell it was making, it was unbearable. I pwwked my head 'round the pile to look at the thing was coming, my heart stopped for a second. A creature that applebloom has never seen or heard of carrying a deer in its tail.

I instantly looked it over, it was q weird mixture of colors, its tail had something sticking out the tip of it, but the final detail she looked at, was its eyes. Its eyes looked unforgiving and cold, colder then the winter. She looked at it for a few more seconds, then she remembered, these were the creatures she saw at the meteor.

It stopped for a second, it looked over at where I had been when I woke up. It looked around franticly, looking for me, when it seemed to give up for a second, before a loud screech came from it.

Two more of them appeared, they all looked the same, except for a little bit of color change, they started searching all the piles. What do I do now? If they find me I'm dead. If I run they'll see me. Or... I gagged. What if I hid in the pile? Didn't have much time left to think cause one of them was heading straight for my pile.

Quickly crawling up onto the pile, I shoved my way in ignoring the pain in my leg. All was quiet, then one of their claws came shooting into the pile, stopping just inches away from my face, I almost screamed but stopped myself so they wouldn't know where I was. The claw left, I waited a few minutes, but was forced out because of the smell, it was making it hard to breath.

When I got out of the pile, I noticed they were at the other side of the room, quickly crawling to of the holes in the wall, one of them disappeared, it made me feel uneasy, but I pressed forward through the tunnel.

Scootalo's POV

Me and sweetie bell decided to go back to where applebloom had been murdered. "I I just don't understand why he would do such a thing, he was so nice at the party" sweetie said after we stood there for ten minutes "why would he do it. Maybe he went crazy after his house got destroyed? I don't know, I just miss applebloom."

We stood there for five more minutes, "come on sweetie bell, we should be heading ba-" I stopped, "did you hear that?" I asked sweetie bell, she shook her head. Then I heard it again, it sounded like dirt was falling down.

"I think I heard it that time scoots" sweetie said and sure enough we heard it again, this time sounding louder, it was straight ahead of us. "We should go back now, I don't wanna know what's making that sound" sweetie said a hint of fear in her voice.

I walked forward a little, I looked ever the grass and gasped, there was a giant hole in the ground. I waved for sweetie to come over, she hesitated, but came over, she also gasped at the sight of the hole. We stared at it for what felt like an eternity, then the unexpected happened.

A strange creature crawled out of the hole, we both screamed then ran, we heard it roar, it was giving chase. We ran faster then we've ever run in our whole lives, I looked back, it was gone.

I looked over at sweetie, she saw it was gone too. We stopped to take a break, "wh-what was that thing?!" I asked still out of breath from running, "I've never... Seen anything... like it in my whole... life!" I said in betweens breaths.

Sweetie was about to say something, but then she screamed. I turned my head to see what was there, nothing, I looked back at sweetie bell, my heart stopped. One of sweeties legs was in the ground, I could see the claw that grabbed her leg.

I rushed over to sweeties aid, I started to pullbher in hopes of getting her out, but to no avail, she was waist deep in the ground, tears streaming down her face as she screamed. I kept pulling, my hands were getting sweaty, my hands slipped and sweetie sank into the ground, a look of pure terror on her face.

I stood there for a minute, staring at the hole, "sweetie bell?" No answer "SWEETIE BELL!" I yelled, no answer, I was crying now, crying harder then I've ever cryed before. I was there for what felt like an eternity.

"Hello? Anyone out there?" I heard someone yell, I was still crying, not even botgering to look in the direction of the voice. "I can hear you crying, do you need help?" The voice called again, closer this time, I decided to answer it.

"O-over here!" I called out, waiting to see who was calling out. After a minute or so fluttershy popped out from some tall grass, she saw me crying and hurried over.

"What's wrong scootalo? Are you hurt?" She asked in a caring tone of voice.

"S-sweetie b-b-bell, she got p-pulled into that hole!" I said, I continued to cry. Fluttershys eyes went wide when she heard this, she looked over at the hole.

"Is it that hole?" She asked as she pointed at it, I nodded. "Oh no, I hope she's alright. You stay here while I go down to get her." I looked at her, and nodded.

She started to walk over to the hole, she looked down trying to see how deep it was, "be c-careful! T-there are wierd m-monsters down there!" I told her, she nodded then started to make her way down.

Applebloom POV

I was crawling through tunnels as fast as I could, the exit has to be around here somewhere. Despite how long the creatures have been here, they had a lot dug out, I've already gone through five rooms and seven tunnels.

I was starting to get worried, what if I couldn't find the way out? What if one of them caught me? I shrugged that off, I will find the exit, I just have to keep looking.

*sweetie bell* I stopped, did I just hear somepony call out sweeties name? *sweetie bell where are you?* came the voice, it was really quiet, sounded far away, *sweetie bell if you can hear me, yell so I can find you!* it was getting quieter.

"OVER HERE!" I called out hoping whoever this was could hear me. I heard something, I started to freak out, was it a pony? Or was it one of the monsters? It got closer, I closed my eyes, waiting for one of them to get me.

"*gasp* applebloom?" I opened my eyes and looked up, fluttershy was looking at me wide eyed "everyone in town thinks your dead!" She almost shouted, I smiled.

*grrrrr* we snapped our heads in the direction of the sound, there it was, the large one that had attacked me. I screamed as flutterhsy picked me up and started running, it gave chase.

"The exit is over here somewhere!" Fluttershy yelled, "if we're lucky we can make it out of here!" I was scared, the thing that almost ended my life was chasing me again, this time, it was chasing two.

I could hear it getting closer, closer, I looked back, it was only a few feet behind. Fluttershy gasped as we both fell down, I looked back again, it was about to bite down on fluttershy! "FLUTTERSHY!" I yelled, she looked back at it. Fluttershy screamed as she rolled out of the way, it missed her by inches.

Fluttershy picked me up again, she was now going at a full sprint, putting as much distance as we could between is, and it. *whoosh* I heard some wind and felt a draft, we were almost out.

"We-we made it!" Fluttershy said, she started flapping her wings, I felt fresh air enter my lungs as we made it back to the surface, i started to drift off into sleep, I was exhausted.
