RESUME
Upon bellowing my name, I unleashed all of the anger and hatred in my heart destroying the entirety of Princess Celestia's castle in an ominous explosion of dark energy. I then let out a furious, blood-curdling roar as I rose from the castle ruins and revealed my true form.
My fur coat paler than death itself; my pitch-black eyes glaring with blood-red irises; my teeth and horn sharper than a phoenix's talons; my hooves stronger than a dragon's claws; my fiery mane and wings burning with a malicious crimson aura; complete with a cutie mark consisting of a black pony skull stained by two drops of blood.
With this formidable form, I, Nightmare Massacre, the Purest of Hatred, shall reduce all of Equestria to a morgue of nothingness...starting with Ponyville! Those ignorant foals will pay with their blood for casting me out and casting me out like a worthless piece of trash!!
"Napoleon Eurabatres Stream!" bellowed two familiar godly voices from above in unison. I didn't even need to look up to know who it was.
Thus, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the self-proclaimed goddesses of Equestria themselves, swooped down from the midnight sky before me. My eyes and horn began to glow blood-red as I grimaced at the sight of them.
"In the name of Equestria," Princess Luna boomed in her so-called royal Canterlot voice. "We command thee to cease hostility and surre--"
But, before the self-righteous alicorn could finish, I pierced a fatal hole through her heart with the power of my magic alone. She was the first to feel my wrath.
"Luna--ACK!!!"
It wasn't long before her foolish sister met the same fate.
"Your Highnesses!!!" cried a horrified guard below.
"Napoleon Eurabatres Stream is dead," I coldly hissed magically holding their now lifeless bodies.
"I am Nightmare Massacre, the Purest of Hatred."
"N-no! This isn't happening!!"
"Oh shit...Oh shit..!!"
Those pathetic royal guards trembled with fear as they watched me drop their goddesses' corpses to the ground. Discarding them like unwanted tissue...just like everypony did so with me.
"Medic!! Get a medic!!!"
My eyes and horn glowed once again blowing the two princesses and their grieving guards to smithereens with my magic. Within seconds, the smoke from the explosion cleared away and all that was left were the scattered remains of their severed corpses.
I glared down at the mess with such scorn. The princesses truly disappointed me. I expected them to be a lot harder to kill. There were rulers of Equestria after all; maybe the most powerful rulers that ever lived.
But that didn't matter to me for long. All that mattered was that they were both dead. And with them gone, it will now only be a matter of time before I destroy the world they tried to protect!
"Come on!! Run!!!"
"No!! No, please don't kill him!"
"H-Help me!! P-Please!! HAAAAAAUG--!!!"
Ponyville was in true peril. Everypony was panicking, crying, screaming and running for their lives. I slowly hovered through the devastated streets searching for the pony I came for and slaughtering everypony and anypony in my path.
They were all truly overwhelmed with fear. Not fear of eternal darkness, nor fear of eternal chaos, but fear of death; fear of losing their lives.
Thanatophobia.
How ridiculous. Why do these worthless creatures always fear the inevitable? Besides, they had already sealed their fate upon turning against me just because I had my own standards.
And now, the time has come for them to pay with their lives.
For those who were wise enough to stay out of my way, I left for the Windigos to take care of. I had no intention of wasting my strength on every single Ponyville resident one by one. Not until after I kill Fluttershy.
My eyes and mane burned with rage just thinking about her; thinking about all the time we spent together. In the end, she betrayed me and all those memories. She turned everypony against me just because I was being honest.
I was so foolish to trust a manipulative wretch like her. But as Equestria is my witness, I swear I will never make that mistake again! The bitch will pay for stabbing me in the back!!
I eventually reached the front door of that judgmental teacher's pet's library. I could sense Fluttershy's presence inside. In fact, I could sense presence of all six Spirits of Harmony inside.
Without hesitation, I head-butted the door down so hard that I shook the entire library and caused several books to fall out of their selves.
"FLUTTERSHY!!!" I roared shattering all of the windows.
My senses were correct. Everypony was there; Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and, most importantly, Fluttershy.
They all looked frightened of me, but not as frightened as everypony else. They were obviously trying to hide their fear from me just like they did with Nightmare Moon and Discord.
"Oh n-no!!!" Rarity shrieked crawling away from me in horror. "N-Not another Nightmare!!"
"Not so fast!!" shouted Rainbow Dash jumping right in front of me. "If you've come to hurt Fluttershy or any of my friends, you'll have to get through me first!!"
She was clearly struggling to hide her fear. I could easily see it in her eyes.
"So be it!" I growled slicing her horizontally in half with my magic. "Your loyalty to your friends wouldn't have saved them anyway...let alone yourself."
Her blood sprayed across the lounge splattering on everypony and everything around her.
"NO!!! RAINBOW DASH!!!" bawled Rarity recoiling in true shock and devastation.
"You think this is ugly?" I snarled magically choking her.
"RARITY!!" called Applejack desperately grabbing onto her leg. "Let her go, ye sick bastard!!!"
"You think I'm ugly!?"
"LET HER GO NOW!!!"
"This whole world is ugly!! There's nothing beautiful about it! Its beauty is a lie!! That is the only truth that can never be changed!"
Thus, with her in a magical hold, I ripped her head off with my bare hooves.
"RARITY--!!!"
Before Applejack could do or say anything else, I hammered her face into the hard wooden floor with her friend's own skull so violently that I broke her spine.
Like killing two birds with one stone. How ironic.
"STOP IT!!!" Twilight Sparkle screamed desperately trying to replace her fear with her anger. "Do you even have the SLIGHTEST idea of what you're doing!?!?"
"Y-Yeah," Pinkie Pie interrupted nervously pointing at me. "Y-You're making this personal!!"
"Because it is personal!!" I bitterly hissed slicing off both her thighs with my magic. "And it's not your number that came up...It's your idea!!!"
Thus, I finished her off with a strong vertical cut through her body leaving only her skull intact.
By now, the entire lounge and everything inside including me was soaked in the blood of Twilight Sparkle's friends. I have now slain four of the six Spirits of Harmony. There were only two Spirits left; the Spirits of Magic and Kindness, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy.
"NO!!!" the purple unicorn yelled stepping in front of her last surviving friend without hesitation. She anxiously glared at me with tear-stained eyes almost like she was trying to imitate me in my previous life.
"It's useless, Twilight Sparkle," I growled in frustration. "Rainbow Dash couldn't protect anypony from me, so what chances have you got? And don't think that your precious princess or her sister will come to your rescue either, but I've already killed them both."
"You think this will make things better!?" she bawled. "You really think that killing me and my friends will solve all of the problems in Equestria and make everything alright for you!? Is that what you think, Neo!?!?"
So she is the third to recognize me. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
"N-Neo!?" Fluttershy gasped.
"No," I admitted grabbing her face with both hooves. "I know in my heart of hearts that I can't make things better for everypony. I'm incapable of making anything better now..."
"But I can make things worse for others! And I will!!!"
With that said, I crushed her skull into pieces and hurled her lifeless body across the other side of the lounge sending her flying through the broken door.
I then slowly turned to the pony I came to kill; the pony who stole everything and everypony from me. The pony who stabbed me in the back thousands of times harder than anypony could ever try to.
Fluttershy, the so-called Spirit of Kindness.
All of her closest friends are now dead. I've got rid of everypony and everything in my way. Now, it's just the two of us.
This is it. Revenge will be mine.
"N-N-Neo," she tearfully gasped hysterically shaking. "What...Wh-what's happened to you...!?"
"What do you think," I angrily hissed as I held her up against the wall. "What do you think happened to me, you selfish bitch, huh!? You tell me!!"
"Neo, I-I'm sorry!!" she sobbed. "I really am!!! I never meant to hurt you!! I never meant any of this to happen!!"
"Of course you didn't!" I snarled tightening my grip on her neck. "But you let it happen!! You let my family and friends choose you over me!! You let them turn against me and abandon me for you!!! You took everything from me...when you're the one who should've lost everything!!"
Fluttershy hung her head and let tears of guilt and remorse stream down her ugly face. Those tears did not faze me even the slightest. I felt nothing for this treacherous creature; no sympathy, no remorse, no pity, just pure hatred.
She took everything from me; my friends, my family, and, worst of all, my life. And that is beyond forgiveness.
Now it was my turn to make her suffer more than I have.
Her sobbing gradually faded out until the blood-soaked lounge fell silent besides my heavy breathing. I was pretty certain that I heard her laugh as well.
"So what?" Fluttershy spoke in a suddenly calm tone of voice. "You wanna kill me? Is that it? Huh? Well, go ahead! Do it! Cut in me half like you did to my friends! That's what you came here to do, isn't it?"
"You don't understand, do you!?" I roared in her face. "You tortured me!!! You took everything from me!!! You turned everypony I cared about against me!!! YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!!!"
"SO WHAT!?" she suddenly yelled back. "Am I supposed to feel sorry for you? Am I supposed to be scared of you!? Terrified of you!? Were you...were you expecting me to drop to my knees and beg for mercy just because you're a Nightmare now!? Don't make me laugh!"
My eyes widened with furious shock upon hearing her outrageous outburst.
"I'll tell you what you are! You're less than half the colt you used to be!! I used to feel sorry for you, Neo! And I used to care about you. Because you used to care! You used to care about others, not just yourself! But not anymore!! Now you're just a pathetic, immature, selfish, crybaby throwing the world's biggest tantrum!!!!"
Thus, she ended her outburst with an immediate spit in my face. My anger and hatred boiled over completely. My eyes and mane were burning brighter than ever before. I truly had enough of her and her blasphemy! I was more than motivated to make this heartless whore suffer in more ways than even Discord could possibly imagine!
I let out a ballistic screech as I brutally ripped her wings out of their sockets. Not with magic, but with my bare hooves. Fluttershy let an agonized cry escape her lips. But that wasn't enough to satisfy my revenge. I wanted to show her just how much pain she put me through and put her through even more pain.
I then stomped on her chest breaking her ribcage and ripped out all of her legs leaving her head and torso connected.
"DO YOUR WORST, YOU BUCKING COWARD!!" she screamed. "I'LL NEVER SUBMIT TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!"
Still standing on her chest, I grabbed her mane with one hoof and pushed her head against the wall with the other. I then yanked at her mane so hard that her flesh came off with it.
I screeched with every yank to drown out that slut's irritating screaming. As much as I wanted her to suffer, hearing her screaming for hours on end was the last thing I ever wanted to do.
Finally lifting my leg off her chest, I gouged her right eye out with my horn grinding my teeth throughout. If I was still a mortal pony, this bitch would've made my deaf by now. And I wished that I was deaf.
I then proceeded to break every possible bone in her body with my bare hooves apart from her neck and spine. She no doubt would've wanted me to break her neck to end her suffering. I had no intention of doing so. We still weren't even.
I took two steps back to catch my breath and examine the agonizing pegasus. She was truly broken. At this point, she could barely move or speak anymore. All she could do was wince and writhe from the excruciating pain.
I then heard a familiar feminine scream behind me. Upon hearing that scream, I held back my fury for the first time. And upon turning around to see who it was, it was almost completely replaced by shock.
"Mother?" I gasped.
Whether she recognized me as her son or not, I couldn't tell. But, one thing for sure, she was completely paralyzed with fear just looking at me; looking at this pale, murderous beast drenched in the blood of dozens of ponies including the princesses themselves.
A beast born from the negativity of one's heart. And that heart, now filled with pure hatred, belongs to her beloved son.
"Mother," I whispered. "I'm sorry."
Thus, I immediately put her out of her misery with one deadly magic spell to her brain. With that, she collapsed to the ground outside and ceased to draw a single breath.
I felt remorse for the first time; remorse for my mother. I never wanted to kill her.
I've always loved her like any son would. Apart from Discord, she was the only one who cared about me. She looked after me ever since the day I was born. And whenever I felt like I just couldn't cope anymore, she was always there to help me rebuild my confidence.
I never wanted to kill her. But I didn't want to see her suffer; not from me. So I put her out of her misery. I had to.
"You what?" Fluttershy coughed. "You just killed your mother!? YOU KILLED YOUR OWN MOTHER!?!? YOU SICK BUCK!!! YOU'RE SICK!!! YOU'RE THE SICKEST CREATURE CELESTIA KNOWS WHAT CREATED!!!"
Upon hearing Fluttershy's voice again, I completely snapped. Thus, before she could even blink, my eyes, mane and horn burned with a blinding red aura imploding her from the inside. Buckets of blood splattered all over my face and the entire library collapsed in a heap.
My aura eventually faded away and I looked down upon her disintegrated body. I couldn't recognize her anymore even if I wanted to. There was nothing left of her; nothing but a macabre pile of her flesh and bones.
The world's faintest smile slowly appeared on my blood-stained face.
It was finally over.
Fluttershy was dead.
I did it...
I did it. I finally did it! I finally killed Fluttershy!
I killed her!! No...I didn't kill her! I slaughtered her!!! I tore her limb from limb, bone from bone!!! I destroyed her!!! Just like she destroyed me from the inside!!!
Just like I destroyed Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, even Mother!!
Even Mother!
...Even Mother.
...Mother...
...Even my mother! I killed her too!! Not as brutally as everypony else, but I still killed her!! I killed the only pony in Equestria who cared about me till the end!!! She didn't do anything wrong!! She didn't deserve to die!! But I still killed her!!!
I tightly gripped onto my head and collapsed to my knees as the last threads of sanity in my mind began to unravel. I finally had enough. I couldn't stand another second in this world.
I have killed Princess Celestia and her sister, murdered most of my neighbors, put my mother out of her misery and finally got my long-awaited revenge on that bitch Fluttershy!
I have fulfilled my ultimate goal! What other reason do I have to prolong this meaningless existence!?
Thus, more than determined to bring this sickening world to an end, I unleashed one final roar.
A roar unleashing my anger, my frustration and all of my hatred.
A roar creating an immense sphere of destructive magic around me.
A roar destroying all of my surroundings; everything around me.
A roar marking the end of the world.
The end of Equestria.
I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
The ones you love mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all and leave forever
What's done is done; it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending
I wish that I could turn back time
Cuz now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, it's killing me inside
It all returns to nothing
It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts, I know that I called never love again
I've lost everything, everything
Everything that matters to me, matters in this world
I wish that I could turn back time
Cuz now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, it's killing me inside
It all returns to nothing
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
... ... ...
... ... ...
I immediately opened my eyes and gasped in shock. I was nervously staring at a pale white ceiling. My eyes darted around the room anxious to know where I was and what happened to me.
I was in my bedroom and I just woke up from the most horrible dream anypony could have.
It was so horrible, so gruesome, so unthinkable, that I didn't want to think about it for a split second. But the memories of my nightmare just flooded my mind like an unstoppable waterfall.
No. That wasn't a nightmare...I was the nightmare.
I became a Nightmare.
I became a Nightmare and killed everypony; Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and, worst of all, my own mother.
I destroyed Equestria along with everypony and everything on it.
My eyes reluctantly scrolled to my hooves as I held them out. In my dream, they were completely drenched in blood; Fluttershy's blood. In my dream, I used them to tear her limb from limb without hesitation and make her suffer the greatest of pain.
I stared down at my hooves for several seconds with tears of guilt swelling up in my eyes. They were almost completely clean. There is not a single drop of blood on neither of them.
But, in my mind, there were still coated in blood; blood that I could never wash off in a hundred years.
"I'm so bucked up..."
Those words proved to be his last.
Upon opening his eyes for the last time and realizing and admitting his folly, Napoleon Eurabatres Stream disappeared without a trace along with all evidence of his existence including his birth certificate.
Several hours after his disappearance, his beloved mother, Florence Elizabeth Stream, was found dead in his bedroom due to sleeping pill overdosage.
Thus, the Stream family comes to an abrupt, tragic end...
THE END
