[Meanwhile in Ponyville]

The revenant manticore roared with fury as it looked over three potential meals in front of it. The one meaty creature in front looked more appetizing then the pony and the drake. It gave a toothy grin figuring the taste of the meaty creature in front of it. Though with the weapon it was holding it wouldn't be an easy task to complete. The manticore snarled and drool dripped from his maw with a smile. The white pony held onto the drake next to her and he got in a fighting ready stance. However the creature in front of him growled and revved the tool he had in his hands. The manticore scoffed at the annoying and loud noise of the tool. He brought up its massive arm and swung its hand back, the meaty creature ducked and slashed the tool across the hand of the beast. The undead monster roared in pain from feeling its flesh being ripped from the tools sharp blade. It looked down and saw the meaty creature below him with smirk and a bloody tool.

Leatherface cracked his neck, the blood from the beast in front of him splattered on his apron and chainsaw. The smell of it making him grin. It might of smelled horrible and he didn't know what kind of disease was in the crimson liquid but the feeling of it made him smile. He wanted more of it. Leatherface was blood hungry, he was fired up, he was ready to kill. The monster in front of him roared with fury and charged him like an animal on all fours. He grunted as he leaped out of the way and slashed the creatures arm again. The revving of his tool against the ripping flesh making him smirk. The monster roared and swung its arm back with force. This time Leatherface didn't have time to move, using his chainsaw as a shield, the massive arm hit Leatherface and sent him flying back ad through the window of a building. Rarity gasped and cupped her mouth and Spike grit his teeth and took in a deep breathe. With a growl he blew a ball of green fire at the zombie manticore. The green orb impacted the creature and sent it flying back onto its back.

With the creature staggered, Spike grabbed Rarity's hand and pulled her with him while running. "Come on! We need to leave!" he shouted. Rarity looked back as he ran with Spike toward the broken window. "What about him?" The drake looked back and grunted out of anxiety, "He'll be okay! We need to move now!" With hesitation, Rarity looked away and ran away with Spike as the zombie raised to its feet and sniffed around for its meal. It looked at where it tossed the fatter meal but figured it was dead from the rancid smell. The manticore spread its bat wings wide and leaped into the air, searching for the smaller morsel to nibble on. His bigger meal would have to wait, if he waited any longer his other meal would have escaped him. The revenant manticore looked across the earth but had no sign of the two. Using its enhanced sense of smell, the zombie identified were they were.

Spike had sealed him and Rarity inside a the Cakes bakery shop. The white mare was leaning against the counter, sitting on her rear with her legs up to her torso. She was worried beyond what Spike could imagine. She was scared for her friends, her parents, her sister, and her and Spike's safety. The sight of how the world had been torn so upside down in just a few hours was shocking. The amount of deaths, enough to give a psycho killer the willies. The destruction would make Discord jealous even. Rarity tried to calm herself down, telling herself that everything would be fine, that her friends were going to fix this and everything would be back to normal tomorrow. She also thought it was nothing but a bad dream. A conjuring of her own mind or a vision Princess Luna was trying to show her. Though if that were the case, the princess of the night would have shown herself by now. Then, theirs the case with Leatherface. Nothing out of the back of Rarity's mind could she imagine such a violent entity.

Spike saw the state his friend was in and exhaled silently through his nostril. He walked over to Rarity without any sudden actions. He didn't want to scare her anymore then she was. He gently sat next to her, close enough to give her a shoulder if she needed it. He grabbed a small lantern from the top of the counter and blew a small fireball inside it. The green light soon made the room a little more bright. Spike set the lantern above the two on the counter. Night soon came, the darkness that clouded the sun soon turned pitch black. The temperature growing colder in the room. The noises of the moans and screams echoing from the valley and mountains stopped. Spike didn't like it. He would rather want noise then have to sit in darkness and possibly be ambushed. He brought up his legs, his knees in his line of sight and his feet out of the dark. He could feel Rarity lean on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his own. He turned his head to see her look of anxiety, on the verge of crying. He didn't know what else to do beside get out of Ponyville and make it to Canterlot where hopefully Twilight and the rest of them were.

"S-Spike..." a soft whisper came from his shoulder. The drake looked and saw Rarity looking up at him with those big sapphire eyes of hers. "Yeah?" Spike whispered back. The mare sniffled and wiped her teary eye. "You think...all of them are safe?", Rarity said trying to hold back more tears. Spike signed and looked out the window. A red moon shining in the sky, casting a maroon color of Equestria. "I...I don't know. I hope they are though." Rarity took that answer as best she could. She hoped and prayed all of them were okay, even more so for her sister who lived in Manehattan. After the effects of today coming over her, she soon fell asleep on Spike's shoulder and the drake soon joined her, his head leaning on hers. Before the two could drift off the sleep, a sudden sound of ripping wood and debris woke thw two from their sleep. Both looked up to see the revenant manticore looking down at them with a hungry and irritated look in its black eyes. It reached in a massive claw inside the building to try and grab Spike and Rarity. The drake blew a stream of green fire at the claw, causing the beast to growl in pain and pull back its hand. The two of them got up and ran toward the front entrance. Spike tried to open the door but the laughing of the manticore could be heard. He looked out the window and found two trees had collapsed in front of the building. Spike cursed to himself and turned his back to the door. Rarity quickly got behind him and the two avoided and ducked after every time the manticore reached into the building for them. It was toying with them.

The manticore ripped the entire roof off the building and gave a demonic laugh. It reached two hands in and grabbed Spike and Rarity. The mare screamed for her life and pounded away at the monsters paw. Spike scratched and blew his fire on the claw of the other hand. The beast snarled and tossed Spike away into a another building. Rarity screamed for him as he flew. She looked back toward the beast and quivered in fear from its presence. Her resistance soon faded and Rarity felt her eyes grow heavy. Her screams soon stopped and her body fell backward on the manticore's paw. The zombie laughed and opened its large maw, moving Rarity toward it slowly. Spike crawled out of the building, holding his bloody side. He looked up as the manticore lifted Rarity to its maw. With a the fear and anger in his voice, he screamed. "RARITY!" Suddenly, a revving chainsaw flew across the sky and slit the manticores wrist. The creature shrieked and released Rarity from its grip. Her body fell from the height into the arms of a waiting Leatherface below. The masked man sprinted toward Spike and gently laid her in front of him. "I'll take care of her, now kill that son of a bitch!" Spike said to Leatherface. He gave a yellow toothed grin and picked up his waiting chainsaw. He walked toward the distracted manticore and with a heavy swing, revved his chainsaw through its ankle. The monster roared in agony and fell forward. Leatherface climbed onto its back and thrusted his tool inside the monsters back and ran with it upward to its neck. The creature roared and gurgled from the blood rushing to its head. After the manticores body went limp, Leatherface walked toward Spike and a unconscious Rarity, blood staining his apron and flannel. The drake had found a new sense of respect for the psychopath. He had saved them twice this day and while protecting their well being. Now all Spike had to do was get the three of them to Canterlot.
