A Lethal Puzzle

Earlier that day, Puzzling Insanity had decided to pay a visit to her former tormentors. She asked a gray pegasus for a lift to Cloudsdale. The wall-eyed pony smiled and flew her up to Rainbow Dash's cloud home.

Rainbow Dash looked at the orange unicorn and laughed, "I haven't seen you in years, you freak!"

Puzzling frowned. Her muzzle scrunched up in anger, she turned around and kicked with her hind legs. Dash flew backwards, blood rushing from her now broken nose and jaw. She looked up at Puzzling and began to cry. She saw the knife in the unicorn's hoof and screamed until she tore her vocal cords.

"Here's what you get, you big bully!" Puzzling Insanity shouted as she peeled the blue pelt off the pegasus. She laughed and placed the pelt in her saddlebag before jumping down and somehow landing safely. She looked over and found Sweet Apple Acres.

Applejack sipped on some freshly squeezed apple juice as she relaxed. "Ah reckon Ah should get back to buckin'."

"Hello... Applejack."

"Oh, uh, hey, partner," the orange earth pony replied, "long tahm, no see."

"You tripped me in the schoolyard every day!" Puzzling yelled, bucking Applejack into a tree.

"Whoa, what's gotcha all mad?"

"You tripped me every day... and you didn't even apologize!" the orange unicorn screamed, peeling Applejack's skin off as if she were an apple from a tree. Placing it into her saddlebag, she smiled as Applejack bled to death. "Two down, six to go."

Pinkie Pie jumped through town until she was stopped by an orange hoof to the face. She shouted, "What was that for?!"

Puzzling Insanity scowled and said calmly, "You never invited me to your parties." She brandished a knife and let out a war cry.

"NO!" Pinkie yelled as the orange mare skinned her alive before she bled out on the pavement.

Twilight Sparkle heard a knock at her library door. "Spike, can you get the door?"

"Sure, Twilight," Spike said cheerfully. When he opened the door and saw a blood-covered, orange unicorn with a broken horn, he gulped. "Um, Twilight? There's a bloody mare here at the door. What do I--"

With a sickening crack, Puzzling Insanity snapped the baby dragon's neck like a twig and called out, "Twilight! Come out and play!"

The purple unicorn walked into the foyer and screamed. Horrified, she cried, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

"I escaped because I wanted to pay a visit to my old bullies."

Tears formed in Twilight's eyes as she was pinned down and skinned alive. She gurgled out, "I'm sorry..."

The orange pony smiled deviously and left without a word, closing the door behind her. She headed for the flower shop. "Hello, ladies. I'm back!"

The three mares screamed as the orange unicorn fired a blast of magic at them and tore their skins off.

"Now to visit that griffin."

She ran into Gilda. Gilda wasn't too happy. She looked at the unicorn and growled, "What do you want, dweeb?!"

"If you can't say anything nice..." Puzzling calmly scolded, brandishing her bloody knife, "you shouldn't say anything at all."

"You annoying little--"

Puzzling Insanity shoved the knife into the griffin's beak and began cutting into the strip of flesh inside. Each motion of the blade produced a disgusting squish as the tongue was sliced out of the bloody beak. The strip of meat finally fell onto the floor with a splat. The orange mare nonchalantly added, "This is what you get for calling everypony names."

Gilda gurgled loudly as her beak filled with warm, red blood. Feathers were plucked one by one in a torturous show of revenge. She screamed and died on the floor.

Lyra looked into the mirror and saw a bloody mare standing behind her and draping barbed wire over her neck.

"Hi, Lyra. I made you a necklace," Puzzling smiled, looping the wire and pulling the ends.

Lyra Heartstrings choked loudly as the barbed wire tore into her neck. Her choking quickly changed to gurgling as blood trickled from her mouth, nose, and neck.

"Let me tighten it a little more!" The orange pony gave one last tug, and the pale teal unicorn's head was severed from her body with the sick sounds of flesh and muscle tearing as her neck cracked loudly. Puzzling stuck her tongue out and sampled the resulting fountain of blood. "Eww! This fruit punch tastes like metal!"
