The Monster they Made 2.0
Hope
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI slowly made my way down the tunnel while leaning on the wall for support. Nothing struck me out of the ordinary so far unless you count my misfortune of having to eat another in need of survival. I could still taste the irony flesh; even after rinsing out my mouth multiple times. It was something that would never disappear completely.
I still couldn’t believe what I did though...since the moment that flesh hit my tongue something unnatural happened. It was like my instincts shut off and what replaced them was pure blood-lust mixed in with hungry. In a blink of an eye the skittishness I had all but faded away while the need to feed consumed my thoughts. When I returned to normal I found my hands covered in blood along with bones scattered around me. Looking passed it I seen the horrid scene of what was once a pony.
Shaking my head I knew there was no point in thinking about it any longer since the voice told me not to show them pettiness; instead put myself first before others if I was wanting to survive. When coming back to reality the first thing to catch my eye was a lifeless pony along with another I could not describe which was something of a hybrid between a pony and a bug, but sported a strong exo-shell with green soulless pupils.
Humming to myself I was at a total loss on what was happening, but from what I could make of the situation before me it had to have been a enemy of some sort to the ponies. I possible could use this as a distraction to escape from here if whatever these strange hybrids are still here. Hopefully this was the case because it would mean I could have an opening to escape.
Continuing forward I soon started to approach a large room which I could identity as a lobby if the counter tucked in the corner along with stairs ahead were anything to go by. Scanning the room I could tell a slaughter fest happened here with bodies being littered about. Poor fuckers...Possibly their last stand.
Ready to head toward the stairs I caught something in my peripheral vision which happened to be a door tucked away. Feeling curious I redirected my route toward the door. Upon looking inside the door I seen it was a medical ward. It was in utter chaos with beds turned over and papers scattered about; deciding to further investigate I walked toward a desk to look at the medical papers of what appeared to be other prisoners and what I found out was rather disturbing. They were experimenting upon them.
My eyes soon fell upon a file of which could only be identified as my own. Picking it up I shuddered with fear at what they did to me. I was supposed to be a by product of an immortal recipient experiment they were trying to develop since my bodies natural adaptability.
Investigating further I seen the experiment was a complete failure, but the rest of the document was torn off enabling me from continuing further. Turns out all I was some sick guinea pig they experimented on (ha,ha,ha-ah) beyond all that suffering, I was driven to become a immortal form from a gene infusion. Though I suffered unfathomable pain I survived the depths thought impossible to these monsters…! In the end I was just a toy.
Dropping the file I walked over to one of the medical cabinets to hopefully find some useful items to treat my injuries. Turns out they held quite a few useful items. After patching myself up I popped some pills then picked up some alcohol jugs.
Pouring the alcohol around the room I then proceeded to lead myself toward the records behind the counter. After covering everything I grabbed whatever little information on me. I pulled a lantern off the wall then tossed it on the ground to watch everything burst into flames traveling throughout the lobby.
I watched the flames dance about consuming everything in their path before turning around making my way up the spiral staircase. When I reached the top I soon was faced with those hybrid creatures backs turned to me. Letting out a swallow breath I pulled out a adrenaline.
Steady your breath, empty you mind, and focus whats in front of you.
Take out the one on the left with a swift slash across it's throat and be sure to apply some strength behind your strike since these creatures skin seem thicker then those tortures you faced. After you've done that deliver a quick punch at the slash wound then said creature should be out of the equation. Once finishing it off the element of surprise you've had is no longer in effect so you are going to have to react quickly to your other attacker that's going to be right on your ass. Now I've added my two cents its your turn on how your going to face that outcome.
I'll be watching.
Hearing out the plan from the voice I quickly acted out the plan of execution which felt like slow-mo since of the adrenaline pumping through my vines. Everything went as planned and the other one was on my ass as the voice said. Using my heightened reflexes I was barely able to dodge in time from the creatures blade. I quickly went on the defense dodging side to side while using small openings to strike my attacker. Each time I inflated a strike the more my attacker started to slow until it was no longer able to strike fiercely.
I let a smirk appear on my face knowing the outcome of this one on one session. It's strike impacted my arm allowing me to rope in the hybrid stab it in the eye before quickly grabbing its hind legs then tossing it over my form sending it toward the stained glass. I heard its piercing scream fill the area until I could no longer hear it. Looking out the shattered glass I was shocked at the sere height. Definitely tossing jumping out the window though; I do see a exit within the distance on the other hand just have to make my way toward that direction.
New objective insight I started to head toward the direction while the adrenaline was still in effect or else I'll be a sitting duck once it wears off with that in mind I picked up the pace. Running for what felt like hours I finally reached the area I was staring at from before strangely enough I didn't encounter others though I have a feeling they maybe somewhere else within this castle, so chances are I lucked out actual scratch that I may have said that to earlier because outside the doors I could see within the distance those hybrids patrolling and rounding up ponies.
Well shit...It never is that easy in the first place right? I let out a sigh trying to come up with something though nothing seems to pop up until once again the voice throws in her two cents. Wait...wait you want me to do what? Are you crazy! I can't jump off who knows how high of a fall and expect to survive the fall into the depths of a waterfall down below. Their has to be like another way!
Fuck...,fuck.., Fuck!!! Alright fine you win though I still think this is a unreasonable plan and my chances of survival are zero. On the other hand you've been helpful so far so this shouldn't be no different. OK, know that's settled I just got to get their without being spotted...easier said then done. They have the whole place covered. Hm, maybe the alleyways are a safe bet I after all just need to make close enough to the waterfall then jump. I have to be quick since I'm starting to feel the adrenaline wearing off.
I made a beeline toward the alleyways when none one was looking and quickly did a double take to make sure none of them seen me. Once I was sure I was in the clear I started making my way through. Finally reaching my destination I was cursing my luck since there was no more alleys to take instead the only option that lay before me was to make a made dash about two in a half miles in the open where I'll be priority target number one with a big bullseye on me and on either side their was hybrids posted.
"Shit!," was the only word going through my head at this moment in time. I was screwed no matter what since I couldn't handle multiple enemy's at once and the adrenaline ran out half way through my alley jumping. Either decision I chose it would end in the same result, so I sucked it up and told myself I came to far to give up now and I wasn't just going to lay here pitiful.
Getting in a running stance I breathed a long breath before I sprinted the hell out of the alley way like a bat out of hell and tried focusing on my goal while trying to push aside the growing pain. Like I an anticipated the hybrids were right on my ass in a instance. I forced what little energy I had into my legs hoping for some unholy miracle that I'll make it. Not a few yards away now I was starting to believe I was about to achieve it until three hybrids appeared right ahead of me; with barely enough time to slam the brakes I stopped just a couple of feet away.
The pain started to hit me full force and my posture started to slump from exhaustion letting them know I was an easy picking. The one ahead of the two others started to make its way toward me and with each step I tried to take a step back but unfortunately my legs were no longer functioning so I started to freak the hell out since I was no shape to defend myself against the creature. I was at its complete mercy.
It was now standing in front of me with this sinister smile apparent on its face. I tried to make my body do anything to defend myself but it was fruitless. I soon seen it pick up its hoof then not a moment later the damn fucker started taking swings at me. My screams started to fill the area after each strike of its hoof. I squirmed trying to crawl away though it only made it worse.
Is this where I die? Is this the end...?
Finally within a a arm reach of freedom and sadly it stays out of my reach taunting me...
Laughing at my misery...
Maybe it was never meant to be after all...
Well I accept this-
Oh, your not done yet mister! I promised you freedom and that's what I'm going to give you after all we made a contact. I can't have you dying yet without fulfilling your part.
I'll be taking control now
I was at lost at what was happening until suddenly I noticed I was no longer being beaten upon and instead to my shock what I saw was unnerving. The scene felt like a dream since I was suddenly upon my feet and my hand was around the hybrids neck then all to quickly a loud crunch. Suddenly the hybrid squirming in my hand was limp before being tossed aside like trash.
A sinister laugh started to fill the eerie silence left behind after snapping the wind pipe from the main hybrid and now the two combatants left took on a fighting stance while shaking. Standing at a stand still nobody made a move instead we just stared at each other waiting for an opening to present itself then out of nowhere a loud explosion could be heard coming from the castle.
The hybrids where distracted by the noise so quicker then my eyes could follow my body started sprinting toward the right hybrid then quickly delivered a knee towards its face before following up with a blunt smack repeatably toward its skull. It craved in its skull from the blunt smacks of the shivs back end. When it finished it looked to the side to handle the other though the hybrid was no longer present instead it ran.
My body wasn't having any of it so it quickly channeled energy toward my legs making up ground while taking a quick glance behind I could see a pink bubble sweeping out toward the outskirts of the city sending hybrid's left and right. Knowing that my body throw the shiv toward the hybrids leg halting its progress then getting within proximity it slammed the creature toward the ground grabbed the shiv then preceded to stab it repeatably. After the stabbing it picked up the barely alive hybrid and sliced open its gut.
The time it finished the pink bubble passed over us. At first it felt like nothing until suddenly my form fell down to the ground from this tremendous weight. The voice screamed at me to crawl toward the ledge while I could hear her pained screams piercing my mind giving me a headache.
Struggling with each push I felt the weight increase the more I resisted and the voice was starting to get more distance. I finally made it to the ledge then tossed myself toward the depths below before losing consciousness.
"Hopefully this isn't the end," I spoke before I blacked out
