Chapters The Equestria Chain Saw Massacre
Prolouge: Going to the old house
It was a hot, summer day in Ponyville. On the road, there were five very familiar ponies. The one leading was Twilight Sparkle. Behind her was her student in learning friendship, Starlight Glimmer. The others that were joining them were Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy. The five were walking along a dirt road.
"Oh, this heat is killing me." Starlight began to complain.
"It's alright, don't worry," Twilight began," We're almost to the nearest rest stop. Just hold on. It's not that bad."
"Yes, darling," Rarity began," Here, take my hat." Rarity gave Starlight her hat to block the sun.
"Thanks." Starlight said. The group walked along. Only stopping for a moment for Fluttershy to pay respects to a dead armadillo off the road. They continued on until they reached a graveyard. But this wasn't to find a dead relative. Twilight was curious because there were detectives, and law ponies there, investigating. Twilight and the group walked into the graveyard.
"Twilight," Rarity began,"Why are we here? This is no time to be looking at the passed. Unless somepony here you know is here."
"Excuse me," Twilight asked a older stallion,"Mind if I know what's going on here?"
"Here ma'am." The older pony said as he handed her the newspaper,"Read the headline." Twilight took the paper, and began to read the front page:
GRAVE ROBBING: FOR MONEY, OR FOR PARTS?
In The cemetery of Ponyville, many graves have been reported to be dug up. Police have investigated on the strange crime, and found something that wouldn't be normally be seen at a normal grave robbing. Instead of valuables being stolen, only the head, or in some cases, the extremities being removed, and the rest of the body left in-tact. After searching more, authorities found an even stranger piece of evidence. In the cemetery, they found a ghoulish sculpture made of parts of decaying ponies. No suspects captured or arrested, and more info will be given as the investigation continues.
"Let me see that." Applejack quickly said afer reading the headline. Twilight gave the newspaper to her, and saw a stallion with a cab hooked to him. She trotted over to him, and asked him if he could give her, and her friends a ride. He agreed, and allowed them to climb in.
"Wow, imagine that," Applejack started,"What type of mad-pony would want body parts instead of something that means something."
"Probably for a Frankenpony monster," Fluttershy answered.
"Oh, please," Twilight said,"It's almost impossible to make a monster like that!"
"Hitchhiker!" Applejack yelled.
"Should I pick him up?" The cabby asked.
"Oh, please do!" Rarity yelled back,"The poor thing will faint of heat exhaustion!"
The cabby stopped next to the hitchhiking pony to let him in, then began to move when he got in with the others.
The Equestria Chain Saw Massacre
The Hitchhiker and the Rest Stop
The hitchhiker sat down and looked around the small cab. He saw everypony looking at him, some with shock, some with a normal, everyday look. He wore a orange shirt, and held a small, furry bag around his neck. The most shocking look on him was his face, covered in blood.
"Where you headed, partner?" Applejack asked.
"South." The hitchhiker replied.
"Where did you come from?" Starlight asked.
"I came from that old slaughter house," The hitchhiker replied," I was the killer!"
"I see," Starlight replied," You know, i have a friend who works in a slaughter house. He says that the best way to kill them is that air gun thinger-mobobber... is that what you use?" Starlight asked again.
"Oh, no. That gun's no good!" The hitchhiker replied," I use the sledge-hammer! It's better! It usually kills them better."
"Wow," Starlight said surprised," I thought the hammer was no good."
The hitchhiker took out some pictures from his small bag,"Look!" He said handing Starlight the pictures. Starlight looked at the pictures with surprise. Some of them showed only the corpse. One showed the hitchhiker holding the hammer. Starlight passed the pictures around for the others to look at them, except for Fluttershy, who was shaking after hearing the conversation.
"H-how about you guys have dinner with my family?" The hitchhiker asked,"My family would love you guys!"
"Umm..." Rarity said.
"We're kinda in a hurry," Applejack said," We probably won't be able to. Sorry."
"Please!" The hitchhiker begged,"I don't live far! You could take me to my house. I don't live too far."
"Sorry," Twilight said with displeasure.
The hitchhiker frowned, but he quickly smiled as he took out a camera. He looked around the small cab at the other ponies. He was wondering who's picture to take. He finally stopped looking when he saw Starlight. He took a picture of her. There was a small flash, and a small creak noise.
"He... he took my picture." Starlight said nervously. The picture came out of a small slot on the camera. The hitchhiker took the picture out, and pulled off the small black paper. He began to laugh like a mad mare. He looked at the picture, and handed it to Starlight.
"I-it's a good picture!" He said,"You can pay me now."
"What?" Starlight questioned.
"Two bits," He said," It's a good picture!"
"It didn't come out so well." Starlight said with a frown.
"Starlight, give him back the picture." Applejack said hesitantly. Starlight gave the hitchhiker back the picture. He frowned, but then he took out a small piece of tinfoil. He spread it open, and lied the picture onto the foil. He then took out a small case of some sort, and poured a black, powder-like substance onto the picture. He grabbed a match, and lit it, giving a small hissing sound as the picture burned to ashes.
The whole crowd in the cab started to go a little crazy. Some were backing up, others were trying to realize this wasn't an attack. They all calmed down eventually, and then there was silence. An awkward silence. It was a long one too. After getting bored, Starlight took out a knife. The knife had a small tag that said "To my best friend, Starlight. From: Sunburst". She started fiddling around with it, and this caught the hitchhikers attention. He grabbed the knife from Starlight's hooves, and looked straight at the blade. He was smiling, but he was silent. He then held the handle, and put the blade on his left hoof. He sank the blade into his hoof, and laughed as a streak of a dark, red liquid dripped from his hoof.
The entire cab went crazy again. Others telling him to stop, others gasping for breath at the gruesome sight. Fluttershy was covering her eyes, crying. Her tears were falling from her hooves. She was terrified. She wanted this stallion to leave. But because she didn't want to be rude, she kept her snout shut. The hitchhiker gave Starlight back the knife. She stared at the blade with wide eyes. The blade was stained with dark, red blood. She quickly tried to wipe it off with a close-by cloth.
The hitchhiker looked at the cut with glee. Something popped in his head immediately.
"I have a knife!!" The hitchhiker said as he took out a brown handled razor. The razor was long, and shiny. And it looked sharp. So sharp, it made most of the ponies in the cab (especially Fluttershy) jump out of their skin.
"Ok," Applejack said,"Put it away."
"It's a good knife." The hitchhiker said, trying to hand the knife to Applejack.
"I'm pretty sure it is." Applejack said, not taking the knife.
The hitchhiker smiled, and began to laugh again. This time, he was laughing more like an asylum hostage instead of a simple mad mare. He reacted quickly. He grabbed Starlight's arm, and held the blade in his other hoof. He put the sharp part of the blade onto Starlight's arm, and sank it in, and gave her a long, dark, red gash. Starlight was terrified. So terrified, she didn't have anytime to react. Everypony was screaming. They were telling the cabby to stop the cab. Yelling and screaming. Starlight finally got herself together, and used her magic to push the hitchhiker away. The other ponies pushed him, and kicked him out of the cab. The cabby began to move again, trying to go as fast as he can.
The hitchhiker tried his best to keep up with them. He kicked the cab, and blew raspberries at them, especially at Starlight. He put his bloody hoof on the cab, and smeared a symbol of some sort, until the cab was out of his reach. The last thing Starlight saw was the hate inside those eyes. Those eyes stared at her with ate, and anger, and even hunger . The cab went off into the distance, and the hitchhiker was seen no more.
* * *
After bandaging the arm of Starlight, the rest of the group calmed down, trying to forget what just happened. There was a sign that said "Last Chance rest stop". The cabby decided to stop there. The heat was killing him. The cabby stopped at the rest stop. An older looking pony came out. He wore a gray shirt, and brown pants, held up by a black belt. He came out to the cab as the cabby, Twilight, and Fluttershy went into the rest stop.
"What can I do for you girls?" The older pony asked.
"Do you know where the old abandoned house is?" Starlight asked.
"I-I think I do," the older pony responded,"But why would you want tot go there, huh? It's not nice to be hanging around another pony's property? Besides, it's old, and ruined. Not a nice place to be."
"Well, our friend owns it now. Prince Shining Armor." Applejack said.
"I see. Well, how about you ladies stay here for the night, huh?" The older pony offered,"I've got some good barbecue here, and you girls would actually be my 1,000th customers. I'll let you stay for free."
"Well, I know we can't stay," Rarity said in reply,"But, I am pretty hungry, and I don't mind buying us some barbecue." Rarity began to walk out of the cab with the older stallion into the rest stop.
Twilight and Fluttershy trotted back to the cab, with Rarity behind them. The cabby came back, completely wet. He had poured water all over himself to cool off. He latched back on to the cab, and continued on his way. The group was out of sight from the rest stop, and to the group, the old house was in view.
The Equestria Chain Saw Massacre
Rarity and Fluttershy found the path, and were going on their merry way to find the lake. They went down a small hill, and saw a small trench. But no lake.
"It probably dried up," Fluttershy said.
"Oh, well,"Rarity responded,"I wasn't really expecting to find one anyways. Especially in this heat." The two sat there for a good minute, and were quite silent.
"Do you think Starlight will feel better soon?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm not too sure, but I hope she does," Rarity answered. She looked around, and noticed a windmill. Her eyes grew wide with excitement," Fluttershy, look! The house has neighbors!"
The two decided to walk over to the house. As they grew closer to the house, there was a large rumbling sound. It grew louder the closer they got. As they came to a fence, Rarity noticed a large machine.
"It's a generator!" Rarity yelled. The sound was so loud, the two couldn't hear themselves breath. The two walked to the front of the house. The generator's sound lowered enough so they could hear themselves. Rarity began to knock on the door.
"Hello?" Rarity called out,"Anypony home?" No answer. She turned around, and noticed something small on the floor. She picked it up with her magic, and threw it when she noticed what it really was.
"What was that?" Fluttershy asked.
"A-a tooth," Rarity replied,"A tooth of a pony."
"I'm going to sit at that bench." Fluttershy said getting up. Rarity began knocking again, but stopped when she noticed the door was open. She decided to walk inside, but not all the way. She didn't want to be rude. That was until she saw the decorations. There was skin, and fur hung on the walls. In a room in front of her, she noticed that it had red wallpaper, and the skulls of cows were hung.
"Fluttershy, come look at this!" Rarity called out.
"Can we leave, please?" Fluttershy responded. Rarity was getting curious. She stepped into the creepy house. She looked around, wondering why the house was this way.
"Anypony home?" Rarity called out. She went silent when she heard the sound of a pig squealing. She noticed that it came from the small doorway. She moved over to investigate, but was still a little nervous about the situation. She got to the doorway, when she tripped on something, falling over. She then looked up when she noticed some movement. She looked up to see large, muscular legs. As she continued to look up, there was a whole body. The body wore a white shirt, a cooking apron, and a purple tie. When she got to the head, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. The head wore a brownish mask. The only parts that could be seen were the eyes, and the mouth, which held a small, heavy hammer. The large stallion stood up, and held the hammer in his right hoof. Rarity quickly got up, but before she had time to react, the larger stallion lashed the hammer onto Rarity's head. Rarity fell to the ground with a thud. Twitching, and bleeding, Rarity couldn't make a move. She couldn't feel anything on her body. The large stallion got down to grab her, giving her another quick whack with his hammer.
The larger stallion grabbed Rarity and pulled her into the doorway, and closed a large metal door, without a trace, or a word.
Fluttershy sat there, waiting for Rarity. She realized that Rarity was taking too long, and got up to the house.
"Rarity?" Fluttershy called out. She continued to walk around, searching for her friend. She walked into the dining room, and could barley see a thing. It was awfully dark. She walked through some curtains into the next room, tripping over a small plant vase.
"Oh dear." She said. She looked around the room when she heard a clucking noise. There was a hanging cage from the ceiling. The cage held the clucking chicken. But that wasn't the rest of the sight. Fluttershy began to look around. All around the room were feathers, scattered all over the floor. She continued to look around, and saw many bones scattered throughout the room. Most were animal skulls, but others were those of ponies. The last thing Fluttershy noticed was a large couch, decorated with the bones of ponies. Two skulls, two shins, four legs, with hooves, and skin surrounding the edges.
Fluttershy screamed, and quickly began to run out of the door. But before she reached the door, she heard a sound. The sound of a large, metal door opening. She looked behind her, and saw the large stallion. He screamed, and started to chase after her. Fluttershy ran out the front door. But the larger stallion was slightly faster. He caught up to her, and grabbed her before she could fly away. Holding her tight, he carried her beyond the doorway, and into the kitchen.
He carried her and walked past the table. Fluttershy was screaming for him to put her down. She also cried for help, hoping somepony would hear her scream. The larger stallion turned her around, and behind her were meat hooks hanging. He put her back to the point, and pushed down hard. Fluttershy grew wide-eyed, and started screaming to the pain. Her back bled fast, and dripped into the large, metal buckets below her.
The large stallion started to poke at Rarity's corpse on the table in front of him. He looked to his right, and noticed his large, blood-stained saw on the sink. He then realized "It's Time To Dismember " He walked over to the sink, and threw the fork into the rest of the unwashed dishes. He grabbed his chainsaw hard with both hooves. He grabbed the ignition cord with his yellow, crooked, rotting teeth. One hard pull, and the saw turned on. He held onto the small button, and let the saw spin. He held it in the air with all his strength, and waled over to the table.
He began to saw at Rarity's dead corpse. First on the neck, removing her head. When her head fell onto the floor, blood spurted out in long streams. Next was her arms. He moved them to where they hung off the table, and brought his saw downward, allowing the saw's blade to cut through Rarity's flesh and bone. After Rarity's limbs were off her body, he decided he should gut his catch of the day. He put the saw onto Rarity's belly, and let the saw's blade spin again. The blood from her body began to come out with great force. Splatting all over the stallion, as well as the table. The Larger Stallion decided to let Rarity's insides spill onto the table after his work was done.
Fluttershy screamed, calling for help. She refused to look at the terrible sight of her dead friends' corpse. The Larger Stallion realized that her screams were louder than his saw. He was getting nervous her screams would attract attention, and was wondering of what to do. He looked down at his saw, and he immediately had a new thought. "It's Time To Silence Her "
He pulled the ignition cord again with his teeth. He walked closer to Fluttershy on the hook. He put the saws' end at her thigh. He pressed the button, and pushed forward. The saw began to cut through Fluttershy's flesh. Fluttershy now began to scream louder than she did. Her lungs somehow had enough force to give the horrible sound she gave. The Larger Stallion continued to allow her saw to cut through her flesh and bone. Until the saw was out at her other side. Fluttershy realized that there was no hope for her, and released her final breath. The Larger Stallion took out the blade of his saw from her body. More blood began to drip into the large metal buckets below. He stared at Fluttershy's hanging corpse, and took pride into his work.
THE SAW IS FAMILY The Stallion finally thought to himself.
The Equestria Chain Saw Massacre
The sun began to set. The sky gave a golden glow. Twilight, Starlight, and Applejack sat there waiting for Fluttershy and Rarity to return. The three stayed silent not sure of what to say or of what to do. They waited patiently until Starlight decided to break the silence.
"Do either of you two think that hitchhiker will try to follow us?" She asked them.
"I don't think so." Twilight replied.
"Oh, don't worry," Applejack said,"I know he won't. And if he does, we'll sacrifice you to him Starlight." Starlight's heart began to race.
"Oh, be quiet Applejack!" Twilight said.
"Yep. He's gonna get ya Starlight!"
"N-no, he won't find us. He's probably afraid we'll kill him." Starlight said trying to get AJ to stop.
"Oh, yes he is!" Applejack replied,"I gave him your address AND your zip code Starlight. He's gonna get ya!" Applejack began to laugh hysterically.
"Applejack, shut up!!" Twilight shouted.
"Here! I'll go look for them!" Applejack said,"We'd better get out of here before anything else happens." Applejack began her way off,"Oh, where's that path Starlight?"
"It's over between those two sheds." Starlight said,"Should we go with you?"
"Nah," AJ replied,"You two stay here just in case they come back." Applejack went on her way.
* * *
Applejack passed the old dried out watering hole where the lake used to be. She noticed a old, yet active looking house close-by. She made her way to the house hoping Rarity and Fluttershy were either close to the house, or in it. She went up to the door. A little nervous since she didn't know the owners of the home. She came to herself when she realized that they may recognize her as the element of Honesty. She knocked on the door a bit and waited a second. Nopony opened the door.
"Hello?" She called as she knocked again.
No Answer.
"Hello? I'm looking for some friends. Have you seen 'em?"
Once again, no answer.
Applejack began to leave when something caught the corner of her eye. She went closer to it, and recognized it instantly: It was Rarity's favorite towel. She knew that Rarity was either here , or had been here.
She knocked on the door again, but this time firmly.
"Rarity? Fluttershy, you in there?" She shouted.
There was no response.
For a little bit at least.
Applejack knocked again. Calling out to them. It was then she heard the sound of giggling.
"C'mon you two, stop fuckin' around!" She shouted. She tried to knock again, but when she did, the door sung open lightly. She pulled it open to see an already open wooden door. She walked in annoyed. She wasn't in the mood for goofing off. She followed the sound of giggling which was quickly followed by knocking. She followed the two sounds into the kitchen.
She looked around and noticed a large chainsaw sitting on the table.
"That's a strange utensil to have," She thought to herself. The giggling had stopped, but the knocking was very close. Applejack turned around to a small ice chest. The knocking got much louder. Applejack began shaking. Wondering what was inside the chest. She built up her courage, and opened the chest. She stood back in horror to the sight of Fluttershy's seemingly unconscious body.
The body began twitching violently (which caused the knocking). It was then that Fluttershy's corpse sprang up quickly. Applejack screamed and jumped back at the sight of her deceased friend. She heard the sound of heavy, running footsteps behind her, and quickly turned around. She screamed as a large stallion ran up to her. He screamed and held up a meat cleaver. He lashed it down onto Applejack's neck. Her body fell to the floor with a thud. The Large Stallion went down to the body, and used the cleaver to widen her gash more and more. Letting the blood from her veins splash on his face.
He got up shaking. He turned around, and put Fluttershy's body back into the ice chest. He locked it up, and looked into the living room, noticing the window. He screamed and ran to the window with his cleaver. He pulled back the skin-woven drapes, and looked outside to see nopony standing outside. He sighed, and sat down on the chair next to the window. He tried to get himself together. Rubbing his mask, licking his lips, everything he could do to calm himself.
"What are these ponies coming in here for? Why are they here?" He thought to himself. He took a few breaths, and sighed with relief. He thought to himself, and finally came to a solution.
"If I'm going to stop these ponies from disturbing my families home," He thought to himself, "I'm going to have to go to the source." He grabbed his chainsaw off the table, put on his best tie, and stepped outside his only safe place, waiting for the sun to go down, and hoping he wouldn't be seen or caught...
The Equestria Chain Saw Massacre
The group arrived to the old house. Most of the ponies (including the cabby) were munching at their barbecued meat. Except for Fluttershy, and Twilight. They had steamed veggies, and Rarity was considerate enough to get them. The cabby pulled up to the front of the house, and stopped to allow the others to get off. As they got off, Starlight noticed a marking on the side of the cab. It was an irregular shape. All completely in a reddish colour.
"Hey, girls!" Twilight called out,"Looked what that pony put on the cab." The others came to look at it, and were horrified. They decided to just ignore it. Hoping it didn't mean anything bad.
"Does it look familiar, Twilight?" Starlight asked.
"It doesn't," Twilight responded,"Perhaps it something that I don't know about. Lets just hope it's nothing bad."
"I just hope it doesn't mean that he's going to try to follow us." Starlight said nervously. The others walked into the house. The house was abandoned alright. Spider webs covered the place, while the wallpaper began to peel from the walls. It wasn't a peaceful sight to see, especially not for Rarity, who was talking about everything about the house. The others began to look around upstairs, except for Starlight. She sat down, thinking. Hoping, not sure of what to do when she returned.
"What's the matter, darling?" Rarity asked.
"I-I' just nervous about how Sunburst has been lately," Starlight replied,"The last time we had a real conversation was when he gave me this knife."
"I see," Fluttershy said," Well, me and Rarity are going swimming at that little pond. Where did Shining Armor say it was again?"
"He told me there was a path between those two sheds," Starlight replied,"Are Twilight and Applejack going?"
"No,"Rarity replied,"See you in about an hour." The two trotted off to the sheds. Starlight sat there, wondering again. She could hear the conversation of Applejack and Twilight in the background, but she couldn't make it out too well. As she sat there, she noticed something in the corner of her eye. She looked over, and saw a strange object on the floor.
"Maybe Rarity dropped something." Starlight said to herself. She walked over to the object, and looked at it carefully. What she saw nearly horrified her. There was a reptile-like skull, with a body made from the bones of a bird. Under the structure was feathers possibly from the bird itself.
"Twili-"Her words stopped when she looked up. On the top of the door-less frame were bones hanging from a string. The bones almost looked like they were from a pony's body. "TWILIIIIIGHT!!!!!"
