My Little Horror: Games are Magic
Chapter 3 Part 1
Previous ChapterTwilight and Shining Armor ventured through the tunnels of the Sub Network, eventually happening upon a sliding door.
Twilight signaled for Shining Armor to move into a defensive position, and as soon as as the door was opened, Shining Armor did a sweep of the room, Twilight only paces behind.
Twilight found the light switch and turned it on, revealing an abandoned bathroom and the already rotting corpse of Photo Finish.
"I guess we found her." Twilight said, slightly disgusted by the scene.
"I swear, when we find this son of a bitch, he will pay." Shining Armor practically shouted.
Not long after finding the place, Twilight had telepathically called for a full investigation team, when the team arrived, Shining Armor ordered that the body be examined on the spot.
"Uh... Commander, you might want to look at this." The stallion doing the autopsy said, a hint of fear in his voice.
The stallion was holding a cassette tape that he had removed from the inside of Photo Finish's skull, which was now open and revealing a badly dissolved brain.
Shining Armor walked over and grabbed it, on one side was his name, and on the other, was Twilight's.
Twilight saw the tape and had also stumbled upon a player.
"Shining, come here." Twilight said, having put two and two together.
Once Shining Armor got to her, Twilight took the tape and placed it in the player.
Hello Commander Shining Armor, Lieutenant Twilight Sparkle. Both of you are invited to meet with me alone. Right now the two of you are wondering why you have been singled out, Commander, you are becoming obsessed with catching me, and as a result the two of you always fail to save lives as I have. Lieutenant, you are a huge fan of my inventions, and now you must decide if you will use your versions of my work to trap me as you so cleverly trapped your targets. I will be at the abandoned warehouse near the Orange Family home.
The tape ended and the two siblings left, they began walking to the surface in an uncomfortable silence. The moment they got outside, they sat down, looked each other in the eyes and Twilight knew what her brother was thinking.
"We have to go, but first we ask ourselves; how does Jigsaw know us, why does Jigsaw want us, and how does Jigsaw know about our obsessions?" Twilight said, making Shining rethink his resolve to go to the warehouse.
"I think that there is however a chance that we will catch Jigsaw once and for all." Twilight said, hoping to finally end the madness.
Twilight got up and left, leaving Shining Armor to his thoughts, Twilight changed her direction and decided to go to Sweet Apple Acres to visit Applejack. When she got there, she could tell that the news had traveled.
"Hey there AJ." Twilight said, already, knowing that if she acted professional around her friends they would turn her away.
"Hey Twi, ah can't believe Nurse Redheart was a victim, and ah can't believe that somepony like Photo Finish coulda been targeted." Applejack said, trying to use her Apple Family stubbornness to fight back the tears.
"Applejack, do you know about a warehouse near the Orange Family home?" Twilight asked as her friend nodded in a way that revealed her sorrow.
It was just then that Fluttershy had flown on top of a cloud and looked down at her friends; a wicked smile forming on her face.
Twilight and Shining were on the train to the Manehattan branch of The Force. By the time they had arrived, the siblings were greeted by Aunt and Uncle Orange.
"Word travels fast." Shining Armor said.
"We know why you're here, and the warehouse is across the street from our home." Uncle Orange said with fear in his voice.
"You're welcome to stay at our home for the time being if you wish, but otherwise, good luck." Aunt Orange said trying to hide her face.
"We appreciate the offer, but the sooner we bring this bastard down the better." Twilight said, loud enough that she was intentionally heard by all, also sending a warning to any who might be following.
The two motioned for the Oranges to lead them to the warehouse, it had taken three hours to get there. Twilight looked at the entrance and found traces of special acids used to melt through steel.
Twilight opened the door with her magic and sent a ball of light in to the room; once it was determined that there was no threat Twilight and Shining Armor charged in only to hear the door close and see the pipes spew out gas.
Both unicorns went into a coughing fit and after fifteen minutes of agony, they passed out and fell to the ground.
Fluttershy was a nervous stick to yourself and shy away from strangers type of mare, but that is only the front she puts up. She knew that she was truly an inventive pony, but what made things worse is that her best friend had gotten involved, Twilight had been abusing herself by cutting her arms, she had also been making crude copies of the devices that were meant to help redeem the guilty.
"Sorry Twilight but you need to go through with this, because you have been abusing your body and thus throwing away your life" Fluttershy whispered, knowing that she wasn't heard.
"As for you Shining Armor; you have been obsessed with finding me, beating me to a pulp and throwing me in prison, but I assure you that I will not go, because I myself was tested before the games began and now your sister will be reborn and she will join me. When she does, you will be left broken and alone like the pathetic fool you are!" Flutter shy said, quietly shouting at the helpless stallion before her.
Trixie was on her way home from the Manehattan fairgrounds, her bag full of wallets and purses that she claimed to have won at the stands. she was about to turn the corner when a pegasus grabbed her and threw her down a nearby alleyway.
"Who dares to attack the great and powerful Trixie shall fall before my might!" Trixie shouted.
When she got back on her feet, she saw that she was alone and only once she tried to leave was Trixie attacked, she ran into a nearby door and shut it, hoping that it would hold. It was only when she lit up her horn did she see otherwise.
Trixie screamed but the door din't open, she was surrounded by ponies from whom she had stolen, and they wanted revenge, they moved towards her, holding Trixie down one of them had put a breathing apparatus to her mouth and she inhaled enough knockout gas to keep her asleep for hours.
Colgate was a well known dentist, but there were some who never came out of her clinic, those who did were either driven mad by what they had experienced or they would walk out with a decent smile.
Colgate would usually claim that the reason there were deaths in her clinic was solely due to faulty equipment, and then she would tamper with said equipment to try and avoid getting caught.
Today was no different than any other. Colgate left the clinic and started for home, but part way, she was ambushed by a pegasus. Colgate was thrown against the wall and then she noticed that she had been injected with her own anesthetic. Then; Darkness.
Colgate woke up, noticing a belt that looked like a nullifier, she also noticed something attached to it, when she tried to take it off; a tape fell from above her she placed the tape in a nearby player and listened in horror.
Hello Colgate, or as your friends know you; Minuette, I want to play a game. You live a life of lies and murder, day after day you lie and say that the deaths are due to faulty machinery but I know better. You have 3 hours to get out of this room, but only 2 hours before the poison that I injected into your body takes effect. The antidote is somewhere in this room; all you need to do is follow your heart. Live or die, make your choice.
Colgate began scrambling to her hooves and running around trying to find a clue as to where the antidote would be. Eventually she found a door that had heart painted on it. Colgate remembered what it was that the message said about following her heart. She opened the door and took a look around, she spotted a note, she picked it up and read it.
If you're reading this then you have almost found your way to the first task; now you must go through the door in front of you, you must decide the fate of one who is forgotten and alone. Do this and you will be one step closer to the antidote
"I didn't do anything to you! Why are you torturing me?" Colgate shouted, looking around frantically for another door.
She found one, but it led into a room full of dental tools. Colgate found a note and she decided to read it.
So you have found your first task, you must choose to either remove the top row of teeth of the pony before you or you must carve a piece of your own tongue out.
She looked at the stallion lying on the table and realized who he was; Flash Sentry.
'Damn it, if I do this, I get arrested.' Colgate thought to herself.
Colgate sat there, unsure of what to do. After sitting around for a few minutes Colgate decided that she was gonna use the blade tool to carve out her own tongue, or rather just a piece of it. She pulled a mirror over to herself and clamped her tongue outside of her lips.
It was then that she noticed a pattern had already been carved into her tongue in the shape of a tooth, she figured that that was her mark. She began carving and screaming in pain, all she could taste was the copper in her blood, it took her ten minutes to do it. After she was done she moved fast to cover up the wound.
Falling to her knees, Colgate began sobbing as she kept swallowing her own blood, finally realizing what she had put others through.
"This is fucking pathetic, when I get out you will be my next victim!" Colgate shouted as she started looking for her way out.
Colgate eventually found her way to a corridor, at the end of it was an exit, but to her despair, she found the next part of her torture.
There was a not sitting next to a lever. It was something that chilled her down to the bone.
If you're reading this then you have found your second task, before you are two mares that you would entrust many things too, but one of them must die. Your assistant; a young mare with many years to live, the one who kept your secrets and cleaned your messes. Moon Dancer; your friend whom you have known since being a filly, the mare who has concealed your true identity and the one who had nothing to do with your clinic. Make your choice.
When Colgate looked up a light came on, and she saw the most horrifying thing she ever could; Moon Dancer and her assistant chained in the air, a circular saw coming to life.
"Why are you doing this you bastard? They weren't involved in any of it." Colgate shouted.
Colgate looked at the mares on front of her, she could here both of them screaming at her to save them. In the end, she had to choose her friend.
It only took seconds, the saw had reached Colgate's assistant, she could hear the screams and the sickening sounds of bones breaking. Then, nothing, she had lost it.
Colgate tried to remove the bomb despite the warnings, it wasn't long before it exploded and her head landed near a door.
