The Proxy
The Final Step
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI couldn't help but smile as my master finally made its grand appearance. It stood taller than ever in both stature and grace, at least that's how I saw it. Every other face in the room was stricken with fear, even the oh-so-special princess of the night was sharing a look that practically screamed terror.
"What are you?" Luna was surprisingly cute when she was scared. My master moved quickly, grabbing Luna by her horn with one of its many tendrils. The girls were about to run to her aid, but I wasn't about to allow that.
"Do it! I dare you!" I screamed, flashing the knife I still had to Celestia's throat. They froze and stared at me pleadingly. Luna tried to use her magic to escape my master's grip, but to no avail. His power was too strong for her to fight back. It's grip on her had neutralized her magical ability, rendering it almost completely useless. Luna called for the guards and two ponies burst into the room wearing royal armor. She ordered them to attack my master and release her from its grip, but they merely stood there and watched.
"What are you doing? Free your princess!" She demanded. The ponies in armor laughed as they removed their helmets. Both were wearing masks that bared the operator symbol. "No...NO!!!"
"James!" I turned my head to Applejack. "Please, you don't have to do this. You don't have to listen to it." She looked me in the eye and Twilight continued for her.
"You can fight this, we can work together as friends and defeat it. You just have to let Celestia go and help us." After her Rainbow Dash decided it was her turn to cut in.
"You know this creature better than any of us. We can beat it if we try." My face sank.
"Please..." Fluttershy begged. "You have to help us." Pinkie and Rarity stared at me with tears in their eyes. I now bared a look of sympathy and soon regret. I looked up at my master who was still focused on keeping Luna in her current state, then back at them. I dropped my knife to the ground. The girls all smiled in my direction. Looking back at my master I watched as one of his tendrils charged at Luna, smashing into her horn with great force. The impact was enough to make her horn snap off from the base of her skull, it wanted to be sure she wouldn't be able to attack. She let out a bloodcurdling scream as she fell but was again grabbed by my master's tendrils. Twilight and her friends galloped over to rescue her, my master was too fast for them though. He picked them up one by one, wrapping them in his tendrils and restraining them. They tried to break free from his grip, but he was too strong for them. Twilight even shot it with a magical blast, which hardly even fazed it. They turned their focus on me, screaming and begging for me to help them. I looked up at them with a smile that could make a grown man shake in their boots. They all watched me in confusion as I just watched them being suspended like cattle. I turned my focus back on to Celestia, who was finally coming to. My master turned its head toward me and its face tore open, revealing a large mouth filled to the brim with long demonic looking teeth.
"Now!" I shook my head, grabbing Celestia's muzzle with one hand and the tip of her horn with the other. I immediately brought her head down on my knee, snapping her horn in half in the process. I held her horn in my hand and let her body fall to the ground.
"Celestia!" Twilight shouted.
"Sister!" Luna followed up. I ignored them for a short while, lowering myself so I was face to face with Celestia. She looked at me and I could tell that she was in a severe amount of pain. If only she knew what I was going to do next. I reached over and grabbed my knife off of the floor, holding it in front of her face. I could see the fear in her eyes as they light up, realizing that I fully intended to use my blade on her. She tried to crawl away, but didn't get very far before I jumped up and landed on her back. She screamed and I could hear Luna yelling at me. Never mind her though, my focus was on the mission at hand. Acquiring my master's trophy. I took a seat on Celestia's back and grabbed one of her wings by its base, pulling it back until I could feel the bone break. Another cry of pain penetrated my ears, but we weren't done yet. I lifted the limp appendage and started sawing it off from where the bone had snapped. When I had gone through far enough I grabbed the wing with both hands and pulled it until what flesh was still connected tore free and the wing was completely severed. My master watch me as I did this and repeated the process with the other wing. I could hear sickly sounds coming from behind me, which just told me that the ponies were watching me mutilate her. Celestia was now covered in her own blood as it seeped out of her back in waves. I rammed my knife into her skull and watched as the life faded out of her. I climbed off of the corpse and slid my blade into the side of my pants before grabbed both wings and the horn and taking them over to my master, holding them out to it. I merely watched as it grabbed the pieces of the brutalized princess with its tendrils and held them up. My master drove the base of the horn into its skull, then it took the wings by their blood soaked ends and yanked them down, forcing them into its back. I could hear the bones within it twisting around, adjusting itself to its new limbs. The horn had fused to my masters skull and had even grown back what length of it was missing. It's wings spread out far and wide across the room before folding to its new body's sides.
I was so busy admiring my master that I was completely oblivious to all of the shouting going on around me, all of the tears that were being shed. My master pulled Luna so her face was close to its before impaling her with its tendrils and ripping her body in half. My master's attention was then on me. It lowered its head until it was eye level with me. I stood still as I felt its tendrils grab my head and hold it in place. My eyes caught sight of a very familiar mask that was levitating to my face. Once it was on my master adjusted it so the mask was straight before facing the girls who had been watching over me since I first showed up to this world.
They all watched as the beast had forced parts of their princesses body into its own, making them become one with its form. As the nightmare continued to unfold they could do nothing as it attacked Luna just before ripping her body into two like it was nothing. After re-bestowing James with his mask it turned it's attention back to them. It started squeezing them with its tendrils, forcing the air out of their lungs and only getting tighter by the second. Blood started leaking out of every orifice on their bodys as its grip continued to squeeze the life out of them. It lifted six tendrils, one for each of them. After positioning the tendrils in front of their faces they plunged through the center of their skulls with enough force to shoot out of the back of their heads.
It's been several months since the death of the princesses and the embodiment's of the elements of harmony. This land was now under the rule of my master. We've had to deal with a lot since the fall of Celestia and Luna. There was the so-called Master of Chaos who tried to fight my master for ownership over Equestria, that was short lived. My master was powerful before, but after absorbing the powers of an alicorn it was practically a god. Then there was the great war with the crystal empire which only last for a couple of weeks. Equestria was a big place and now that My master has gained control all who resided within it joined our cause, most out of fear for their lives. Our troops outnumbered theirs by hundreds of thousands and the intense training the new proxies were put through made them into war horses. After our troops had beaten them down to the last man my master infiltrated the castle to deal with the leaders personally. My master's made a lot of changes to Canterlot since the fall of the royal sisters. It was rebuilt in its image and in center of it all was a menacing statue of it in its new form. It stood over 12 feet tall with the operator symbol respectively carved onto its flank. This was only the beginning though. My master had already conquered Equestria and the Crystal Empire, but it wasn't going to stop there. This wasn't about influence anymore. It was about world domination and my master wasn't going to stop until every living creature here bowed down to it.
As for me...well, I've stood by my master's side throughout all of it. The battles between power hungry beasts and the wars against those who chose not to surrender to its rule. My role went from abductions and murder to training the new recruits and fighting for the land we earned. In my free time I go out and meet the new proxies; we talk about battle strategies and ways we can keep our master happy. Not only that, but sometimes I'd bump into Black Cherry and we would just talk about whatever was on our minds. She and I have developed a relationship of sorts. Our master wasn't too fond of the idea but didn't complain since it was me. My master doesn't like to admit it, but without me none of this would have been possible. For once, I knew there was something in this world that was proud of me and the work I had done. I had finally done it, I had made my master happy, and that made me happy. Soon enough we would finish conquering this world and then we can rebuild it to suit our master's wants and needs. It will happen, in time, the world will belong to The Slender Man...
