'THE BASTARD BETRAYED ME!' I thought angrily at the fact that the person who hired me to do a job, just threw me into a black hole! Think about what happened........wait. What IS my name? I can’t even remember my own name! Those military scum! They kidnap me after brutally murdering my family, and try to turn me into their slave. But I’m getting off topic. What happened? Where did it all go wrong?
(Flashback)
I was walking through a the hallway of a hotel. Each one of my steps causing a sound that echoes through the hallway. Each one sounding like a stomp of a giant. I had recently got a call for a job that had a lot of pay. Of course I would accept it, but I needed to know what the job was first. After a few minutes of making constant echoes through the halls, I made it to a door. After a moment of looking at it, I scanned the door to see that it was composed of 4 foot steel with titanium on the outside. 'Who makes a door like this?' I thought to myself before knocking on it.
I stood there waiting for a couple of minutes before I saw the door slide open to reveal a man that looked to be in his early thirties. He had a robe on and a cup of coffee in his hand before he looked at me and dropped his coffee and closed the door on me. I could hear him panting in fear as if he knew I was coming here to kill him.
I looked at the door and pulled out my weapon. A mini gun that had a shining sawblade at the bottom of it and had an open pipe under the barrel of the gun. I made the blade face the door before I activated it and started to cut it open. 'Let’s see what how long I can cut this thing. The blade is made of an unknown alien metal that is indestructible and can cut through anything. And this is a titanium and steel sandwich door. Should take less than a minute.' I thought to myself as I was already halfway finished cutting the door open. And I continued to think about what I was going to do with my target.
'If my client wants his head on a platter, I’ll put his head on a platter. He’s got to have one if he really is rich.' I thought before I finished and knocked the door down and put my tool/weapon on my back.
I walked in and immediately saw my target pushing a button inside of an elevator repeatedly in panic before he noticed that I was walking towards him very slowly. As I got to the elevator, it closed and I heard his voice on an intercom.
“SECURITY MOVE TOWARDS MY FRONT ENTRANCE! THERE IS A......THING TRYING TO KILL ME!” The man yelled and turned off the intercom. And all I did was push the call elevator button. At that point there were twenty men with assault rifles pointed at me and surrounding me.
“SIR! PLEASE REMOVE YOUR WEAPON AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR! FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AGGRESSIVE ACTION! WE WILL SHOOT!” A soldier yelled at me.
'Welp, I guess time isn’t the ONLY thing I have to kill.' I thought to myself as cracked my knuckles and grew a small smile. I walked towards them very calmly and they all started firing.
“SHOOT TO KILL!” I heard a man say before I grabbed his head and put some force into it, causing his head to go inside of his body and picked him up before throwing the Now lifeless corpse at two other soldiers. Three other men had tried to shoot me before I grabbed ahold of their weapons and snapped them with little effort. I then punched all three of them in the face and grabbed two of them before I activated my superhuman strength ability and smashed all three of their heads together making one bloody mess all over the floor and my armor. I saw five other guys and grabbed a nearby pencil before I stabbed one of them in the neck, another guy in the back of his head, and shoved the pencil in another guys ear before it killed him.
'Man I loved the John Wick movies.' I thought before I grabbed another guy and threw him into the guy behind him and punched them so hard that my right hand was covered in pieces of their brains. I grabbed a nearby assault rifle and opened fire into one guys mouth. 'Open Wide.' I thought in pure happiness and ecstasy. Now there were only ten men left and I could see the fear in their eyes. I only smiled and turned away before I felt a bullet hit my helmet causing me to turn around and see one of them pointing their gun at me and shaking in fear. I merely walked up to him and pointed his gun at his head and made him pull the trigger. The blast opened up his entire head and I saw pieces of bone and brain coming out and splattering all over the ceiling above us. The other soldier then proceeded to open fire and all bullets were hitting me, but it was futile, the armor I am wearing is impenetrable, and they think that simple bullets would harm me? How cute, I almost feel bad for them. I just stood there. Waiting for their guns to run out of ammo before all I heard was clicks coming from the guns. I decided to say something, but since I can’t talk, they had to read the message on my helmet.
My turn.
I then pulled my weapon from my back and proceeded to open fire killing all but three of them. After it was done, I put my weapon back on my back and slowly walked towards the three remaining soldiers. I grabbed one of them by the neck and pushed another one to the ground before I lined the mans head up to the other guys ass and quickly and forcefully shoved the head in.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” The man on the ground yelled in absolute agony while the other guy tried to pull himself out to no avail. I then knocked out the guy screaming in pain and proceeded to walk to the last remaining soldier who was looking at me with pure fear in his eyes.
“WAIT DON’T HURT ME! I’M A SINGLE PARENT!” The guy cried out as I got to him. After hearing that, I stopped immediately and turned around. I did want to kill him, but I’m not going to kill a man who has kids. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not doing it for him. I’m doing it for his kids, because I don’t want them to end up like me. Alone in this world, with nothing but rage and sadness being your company for years.
As I turned around I noticed that the elevator door was opened and walked inside before pressing a button going to the roof. I knew he wasn’t there yet, I was just going to destroy his means of escape. As I got to the roof I saw that it was raining and saw a lone helicopter right in the middle. I took an explosive from my chest piece and placed it inside of the helicopter before I walked back into the elevator and pressed a button labeled “ARMORY” No doubt he was going to try to defend himself.
When The door opened I took notice of all of the weapons on the walls around me. And I only had one thought. 'HOLY GUN BONER!' I was in heaven. My thoughts and murder fantasies were quickly interrupted but the cocking sound of a shotgun. I snapped back into reality only to be met with bullets knocking me back into a wall. I looked to see who my assailant was and saw my target standing there as he used the pump on the shotgun before firing at me again. “I’m not gonna die that easily!” He yelled before shooting me again and knocked me on the ground. I REALLY wasn’t expecting that and saw that he was already in the elevator headed towards the roof. I quickly followed behind and saw the guy running towards it.
Before he could reach it though, I pulled out a detonator and blew it up causing him to be blown back by the explosion. I walked up to him and grabbed his head before I took out my weapon and aimed the saw blade at his neck.
“WAIT! WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK, YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS! YOU DON’T!” He would’ve went on, but I had already turned on the saw and started to cut his neck. I could see the blood splattering all over me and I could see a lot of it blending with the rain as I was cutting his head off. I quickly got to the bone and I could hear the sound of the blade hitting it and put a bit more force into it. When all I heard was the blade hitting the ground, I turned it off and heard the whirl of the saw start to slow down. After the whirl had completely stopped, I put the weapon on my back and lifted up his head. I smiled at the job well done and moved the jaw up and down a bit to make it look as if the head was talking.
—�—�—�—�—�—�————�——————At the clients mansion————————————————
I had knocked on a door with two golden lion heads that were used as decoration and saw the door open up and saw a man with a soldier out fit on. He noticed the platter in my hand and immediately knew what it was. “Job went well?” He asked to which I nod. He sighs and opens the door to let me in. “Sick bastard.” I heard him say under his breath before I heard the door close and walked over to a room that had two chairs and a fireplace right in front of them. I noticed a bald man that looked to be in his early fifties and placed the platter on his lap. He looked at me in confusion before he had a look of realization on his face. He lifted up the cover and saw the targets head upright on the bottom part.
“Well, I DID say to bring his head on a platter.” My client chuckled a bit at my sense of humor. “You’ve done well Slaughtermaster.” He said handing me a card that had Three QUADRILLION on it.
“Your pay, as promised.” He said before I put the card in a pouch I had on my waist.
I merely growl in thanks before he had a look of confusion which quickly changed to a look of understanding. “Oh right, forgot you couldn’t talk.” He said standing up. “Makes it easier for this.” And he slammed a needle into an unarmored part of my body and I felt dizzy. I walked backwards a bit as the entire world was moving around me and felt my eyes get heavy.
I awoke to the sound of a door opening and saw myself tied up and I took in my surroundings. I was in a room that was completely metal and saw a window. I noticed that I still had my weapons on me, and I quickly ran up to it and saw that I was in a space ship headed towards a black hole. I was panicking, I couldn’t see a way out and saw a note.
I specifically told you to kill EVERYBODY. But don’t worry, we killed the rest for you. And what was with shoving a guys head up another guys ass? Anyway, goodbye Slaughtermaster. Out of all the mercenaries I’ve hired and killed, I actually liked you.
-Your client,
Andrew T.
I scrunched up the note and quickly tried to find a way I could survive. But it was too late. I was already so close to the black hole and the ship began to rip apart and the next thing I know, I black out.
————————————————Ponyville, Equestria————————————————
It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, the sun was shining, the animals were having peace, the pony folk were happily chatting amongst themselves. And we see a yellow mare with pink hair, wings, and a symbol on her flank with three pink butterflies. This mares name was Fluttershy.
Fluttershy was the local animal caretaker and an element of harmony. But today, she was just being Fluttershy. She was on her way home from picking up groceries when she noticed her friend Pinkie Pie bouncing her way.
“Hey Fluttershy.” Pinkie said with a smile.
“Oh, hey Pinkie Pie.” The shy mare replied with an adorable smile.
“Whatcha doin? Are you buying more groceries for your animal friends?”
“Yes actually. I just finished up and was on my way home.”
“Oh. Well can I come with you? Everypony has been very busy lately and nopony has time to have fun today.”
“Of course Pinkie. As Twilight said, “The more the merrier.”” The yellow pegasus answered with eyes closed and had a smile on her face.
After a few minutes of talking, they had finally reached Fluttershy’s hut when a deep menacing growl was heard making Fluttershy ‘EEP’ and hide behind Pinkie Pie.
After a minute of absolute silence, they heard rustling in the bushes and heard the same growl from before.
“It’s ok Fluttershy, it’s probably just one of your bear friend’s grumbly tummies.” Pinkie said with a reassuring smile. The growling kept going until they saw a creature come out of the bushes. It was tall, probably as tall as Celestia herself, was completely black with white areas around its body. It had appendages similar to Spikes claws, it’s shoulders had marking on both. On one it had a weirdly shaped skull on it with crossbones and on the other, it had a black dragon breathing fire, and had some sort of thing on its back that had a weird sawblade on it. But what stood out most of all, was its head. It was completely yellow and was showing their reflection when they looked into it, and the creature gave off a vibe that pretty much says, “I’m gonna kill you.” But Fluttershy wasn’t having any of it and quickly flew inside of her hut with Pinkie holding her hoof and slammed the door.
“T-that wasn’t a bear.” Fluttershy said as she blocked the door with her body. After a moment of silence, there was a knock on the door. Fluttershy slowly and cautiously opened the door to see that the same creature was standing there and looking down on her, making it more intimidating. Before she could slam the door again, she saw scratches on some of the black areas on its body and saw what looked like blood coming out. After what felt like an eternity’s staring contest, the creature fell down on the ground face first.
“Pinkie, help me get it on the couch.” Fluttershy quickly reacted and reeled back from shock. The pink party pony grabbed its legs as Fluttershy grabbed its arms and proceeded to try to lift it. Keyword being TRY. It took a few minutes before Fluttershy got a couple of beats to lift it up and put it on the couch, which looked like it could barely stand the weight. “Pinkie, please go get the others. Tell them it’s an emergency.” Fluttershy said before reverting back to her usual shyness. “I-if you’re ok with that.”
“Of course Fluttershy, I’ll be right back, and maybe we could throw a party for it.” The pink mare replied before going at a speed so fast, she left a dust figure behind that quickly faded away.
Fluttershy looked at the armored creature sleeping on her couch before asking herself something. “What are you my big friend?”
