Six Locks

Chapter 9: Trouble, is His Name

Scootaloo sighed as she walked in the room, seeing two strange men and I sleeping. She walks up to me and shakes me awake.

"Sam?" She asks, making me wake up.

"Huh? Oh hi Scootaloo," I said. I stood up.

"Who are they?" Scootaloo asks again.

"They're my friends, Jacob and Max," I said. Scootaloo smiles shyly and looks at me.

"They won't try to kill us right?" She asks. I nod. She gives a sigh of relief.

Before anything else happened, I appeared in a dark void. Chills crept up my spine like two snakes. I turn around to see if there is any light. Instead, I see a bat pony with a black coat and an orange mane.

"Hi Sam, my name is Fireheart! And boy do I have deals to make with you!" He said.

"What?" I asked.

"Let's get straight to the point, I have three options!" He takes out three cards. "Pick a card amigo!" He said. I took the middle one.

"Optiono numero uno is your death! In exchange, everyone lives!" He exclaimed. He takes the left card up. "Option two is your mare friend dies!" He said. I glared at him. "Ooooor, number three: all of your friends die, except you and your loved ones!" He said. I glared.

"What if I don't chose one?" I asked. He chuckles maniacally.

"Then you die and watch as your friends and loved ones suffer in an eternal torcher, I privately suggest you choose this option!" He exclaimed.

"You're insane," I said.

"What else is new?" He replied. "Oh yes, there is one more option though! Show him what we got Fire!" I look to the right at whatever he's pointing at, which turns out to be him wearing a moustache. "He could kill this dimension's Mane Six and live in the world he knew!" He said. I grew confused. "Let's spin the mind!" Fireheart said. He straps me to a table and took out my brain in a flash. He puts it on a spinning wheel and spins.

I have no idea what the hell is going on. I thought about my options. Well, actually, it's not that hard. Maybe I'll just kill these six ponies. It seems like the right thing to do right? They're all evil, this entire dimension is, but they are still living beings. Again, they are evil, and I know it. I processed the rest of my options and sighed. "I'll take the-" before I could finish, he throws the suicide card out the window.

"Oopsy, guess suicide is not an option!" He said. I stared at him. I can't believe it. He just freaking did that didn't he? "Aaaaand lookie here!" He continues, pointing at the wheel.

"What?" I asked.

"You just picked: Kill this dimension's Mane Six!" He said. "Hope you have fun! Now go, you have at least a week to kill them!" He said, laughing hysterically.

"Why're you doing this!?" I asked. He stops laughing and looks at me, chuckling.

"It's fun, and I need to provide to my king I'm powerful," he said. Before I could say more, I'm in the living room, staring into space.

"Jacob! Max! Change of plan!" I yelled. "We are gonna take care of them ourselves!" I said. I walked passed Scootaloo, who had a frightened face.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"On a mission," I said. She looks at my eyes and gasped. She knew that look. She starts shaking.

"Why?" She asked.

"So that me and my friends can be at home," I said. She then runs out the door, scared out of her mind on what I would do. She should be.
