(Dark Halls)

After a long night of searching for their friends and witnessing terrible deaths, Twilight, Fluttershy and Barb were nearing the end of their quest. All they had to do was find Spike and Smolder, then get out. Upon entering the dark underground hallway, Fluttershy noticed that Poppy wasn’t with them. “Where’s Poppy?” She asked. “She was right behind us.”

“She’ll catch up. We have to find Spike and Smolder.” Twilight knew that it was a long shot, but she was more focused on finding her little brother. The two ponies and woman continued down the halls. The lights were flickering, corners were covered with webs. Fluttershy could barely continue on. It was quiet. The only sound was coming from their hoof/foot steps. Maybe it was a little too quiet. The three trudged on and on, until Barb slipped and fell backward. While she was down, she saw something horrific. Her agent; Doug was lying on the ground, dead. Drumsticks impaling both his eye sockets. The sight caused Barb to scream. Fluttershy and Twilight quickly turned and helped Barb up. They looked at the dead Doug with shock.

“What are those things in his eyes?” Twilight asked.

“M-Mikey’s drumsticks!” Fluttershy answered.

“I-It’s Doug, my agent.” Barb told the two ponies. “I sent him out with the rest of the audience.” Twilight thought for a moment, then she lit up her horn revealing dozens of corpses. A woman had her throat slit. A stallion had both his eyes gouged out and was hung with his own intestines. It was an unbearable sight. Twilight noticed something about the dead bodies: they were all adults.

“Where are the children?” She asked. Five seconds after she asked, the sound of kids screaming was heard. “Let’s go!” They began to follow the screaming.

(Underground Stage)

Twilight, Fluttershy and Barb continued down the hall following the screaming. Finally, they found a large room filled with objects from the show, from a mailbox to cartoon styled walls. They hid behind a pile of junk and took a peek. The children were all there, chained to the bleachers. Boys, girls, fillies and colts were stuck, watching the terrifying sight in front of them. On stage was Beegle. Twilight quickly noticed the scar around his eye. “There they are!” Fluttershy whispered. “But where’s Spike and Smolder?” Next, the sound of knocking was heard and Beegle turned to the sound.

“Well, who could that be?” Beegle asked as he walked over to a metal door. He opened it up, and what was there made the children scream again. It was Stevie. His bleeding corpse still had a ruler sticking out of his throat. He was on the tricycle from the performance earlier, and was pushed onto the stage by Jason. Twilight gasped at the sight.

“Look who I found!” Jason said. “It’s Stevie!” Beegle closed the door. “Ain’t it wonderful Stevie? All of our friends are here. Now the show can go on forever, and ever and ever!”

“They’re never gonna let them go. They’ll die in here!” Barb noted.

“We have to save those kids!” Twilight said. The three snuck their way through the room, heading for the bleachers. Halfway there, Twilight saw Jason push Stevie’s body toward a metal pipe Beegle was standing next to.

“Hey Stevie! Mail’s here!” Beegle said as he pulled a lever on the pipe. Flames flew out, incinerating Stevie’s corpse, causing the kids to scream. Twilight could only watch in horror as they approached the bleachers. When they finally got there, a filly noticed them. Twilight did the ‘shh’ sign to the filly and she nodded. Twilight began trying to break the chains with her wrench. While she was, Beegle grabbed a bucket of water and dumped it onto Stevie’s flaming body. All the kids were whimpering now. “Silly Stevie! Smoking’s bad for your health.” Twilight then heard the sound of footsteps. She looked over her hiding spot to see Sarah walking down the stairs with Spike and Smolder.

“Great job Sarah!” Jason said.

“Put them with our other friends.” Beegle told Sarah. Sarah sat Spike and Smolder down in the bleachers, then chained their legs to them.

“You can’t do this! You’re the Human Bunch!” Smolder tried to reason with the teenagers.

“Sorry, but the show must go on and somepony has to pay for her crimes.” Beegle told her. Sarah locked the cuffs around Spike and Smolder’s legs.

“Sarah, please don’t do this.” Spike begged silently. Sarah just looked at Spike for a moment. After a few seconds, Sarah opened Spike’s claw and put something in it. It was the key for the chains. Spike smiled at Sarah as she backed away.

“Children! It’s time to spin the new and improved… Wheel of Endings!” Beegle announced. Jason pulled a rope opening a curtain. What was revealed caused Twilight to gasp. It was a giant wooden spinning wheel with white marker text saying multiple things, but the worst part of it was who was attached to it. Celestia. Her hooves had been hammered down with nails to the wheel, Celestia’s horn was broken, and she was covered in blood. Twilight noticed that Celestia was breathing. She was alive.

“Celestia!” Twilight gasped. Jason heard her.

“Oh look guys! Princess Twilight is just in time for the ending of tonight’s show!” Twilight came out of her hiding spot and shot a beam towards the wheel…

...It did nothing.

“WHAT!?” Twilight shouted in confusion. Jason smirked.

“Nice try Sparkle! But we came prepared! We’re surrounded by a magic proof force-field! You can’t get through it!” Jason pointed out. “Now let’s spin the wheel!”

“T-Twilight… you have to go!” Celestia groaned. Jason then put his hand on the wheel and began to spin it. “W-Woooooaah!!!” The spinner stopped and Celestia’s broken horn landed on ‘Banana Split’.

“Banana Split!” Beegle shouted.

“Wh-what’s a banana split?” Celestia asked worriedly. “WHAT”S A BANANA SPLIT!?”

“What’s a banana split?” Smolder asked Spike.

“I don’t know! It always lands on ‘rock out’!” Beegle grabbed Celestia’s left foreleg and pulled it off the nail pinning her to the wheel. Celestia screamed in pain. Twilight continued to try to get through the force field, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t. Barb knew it was too late for Celestia.

“Everybody close your eyes! Close your eyes! DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!” Barb told the kids. All the children covered their eyes. Even Spike and Smolder looked away. Jason and Beegle continued to pull Celestia’s limbs of the nails, and she continued to scream. Spike started to unlock the chains. When Celestia was completely off the wheel, Jason pulled on her right foreleg and hindleg while Beegle pulled on her left foreleg and hindleg. Celestia was howling with complete agony now. Jason and Beegle pulled, and pulled and pulled. Finally, Celestia’s left foreleg was ripped off, followed by her right foreleg, left hindleg and right hindleg.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!” Twilight screamed as Celestia’s lifeless body fell to the floor. “Celestia… no.” Twilight’s lifelong mentor was now gone, and she suffered. Twilight began to think. Neighsay, Luna, Celestia, many other lives. Gone. Because of these sick kids. Twilight knew what must be done. These sick teens had to be stopped, and to do that she’ll have to put them to sleep. It was that moment that Twilight began to light up her horn, and she summoned… five lined up megaphones? Jason and Beegle were equally confused. “Everyone cover your ears!” Twilight warned, and everyone did so. Twilight licked her lips and took a deep breath. “TEEEESTINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!!!!!!!” Jason and Beegle’s ears were bleeding at the noise. Suddenly, the force field surrounding them shattered.

“WHAT!?” Jason shouted. Then Spike unlocked the chains and the kids began to follow Barb and Fluttershy to the exit. Twilight then picked up her wrench and turned to Jason and Beegle. “Looks like we have one more life to take. It’s too bad. I really did like you Twilight.”

Twilight turned to Spike and Smolder. “Go now!” They began to run away, and Twilight turned to see Beegle walking towards her. “Come on you fuzzy son of a bitch!” she shouted. Beegle charged at Twilight, who then tripped him with the wrench. While Beegle was down Twilight started hitting him with the wrench. Jason came up behind Twilight and grabbed her by the neck. He lifted her up, then threw her to the ground. Beegle then got up and advanced on Twilight. He grabbed her by the horn and dragged her to the pipe.

“Oh Jason, mail’s here!” Beegle said and Jason was about to pull the lever, but then Fluttershy flew in holding the crowbar. She dashed to Beegle and impaled him in the head, killing him instantly.

Twilight got up and looked at Fluttershy. “I thought I told you to go!”

“I couldn’t just leave you.” As Fluttershy finished, Jason charged at the two ponies. He grabbed Twilight’s wing and snapped it. Twilight screamed in agony and fell to the floor. Jason then delivered a punch to Fluttershy’s head, knocking her out. Twilight tried to get up, but Jason pinned her down and started choking her.

“Die! DIE! DIE!!!” Jason shouted. Twilight was losing her breath. In a few seconds she would be seeing Celestia again.

“Twilight!” a familiar voice yelled. Twilight turned to see Spike. Spike threw something to her. It was the staff Rarity gave him and Twilight caught it. Jason quickly noticed this.

“WHAT!?” He shouted

“Abracadabra bitch!” Twilight yelled before stabbing Jason in the neck. Jason screamed before falling to the ground, and laid there motionless. Fluttershy got up and she and Spike went over to Twilight and hugged her.

“This show isn’t really what I expected.” Spike said. Twilight laughed at that. “Come on! Let’s go! Smolder and Barb found Discord!” Twilight nodded and they began to head out

(Dark Halls)

Twilight, Fluttershy and Spike made their way down the hall. As they did, Barb and Smolder were at the end. “There they are!” Barb shouted. The two groups began running to each other. Just before they could reach each other, a familiar face got between them. It was Mikey, still missing his right arm. His sudden appearance caused the two groups to stop dead in their tracks.

“Time’s almost up!” Mikey said as he raised his only arm. But before he could attack anyone, Sarah came out of nowhere and pushed him to the ground. While Mikey was down, Sarah walked over to him and stomped on his crotch. Mikey then tripped Sarah and kicked her in the face. Barb cringed at this. The two teenagers got up and Mikey began to smack Sarah. He hit her a few times in the face, but Sarah managed to dodge the last swing. She then stomped on Mikey’s foot, stunning him. Sarah raised her fists in the air and hammered them onto Mikey’s back, knocking him to the ground. When Mikey tried to get up, Sarah grabbed the cast where his other arm used to be and ripped it clean off. She then reached into the opening and began to rip stuff out. Sarah then started to strangle Mikey. Mikey had had enough. He raised his arm and plunged it into Sarah’s chest.

“Sarah!” Spike shouted. Mikey laughed as he pulled out both of Sarah’s lungs. Before anything else could happen, Sarah used what was left of her strength to put her arms around Mikey’s neck and then, ‘snap’! Mikey’s neck had been snapped and both him and Sarah fell to the floor. “Sarah!” Spike said as he ran to her side.

“Spike, no!” Twilight shouted. Spike kneeled down with Sarah giving him an apologetic look.

“Sarah” Spike said sadly. He knew he couldn’t save her. “You’ll always be my favorite.” Sarah then, laid motionless. Twilight put a leg around Spike to comfort him.

“Woah, she just gave her life for us.” Smolder said. Fluttershy flew over to Sarah and put a hoof on her head.

“Rest in peace Sarah. We’ll never forget what you did for us.”

(Outside the building)

With the Human Bunch defeated and all the children saved, Twilight and the gang have finally made it outside the studio. Soon, ambulances and the cops arrived. Some kids ended up heading to the hospital or picked up by a different relative. “I’m so glad you’re okay!” Fluttershy said as she hugged Discord. “I was worried we wouldn’t be able to save you.”

“What? You think the Lord of Chaos can’t stand up to a few teenagers?” Discord asked. “I have to say; what they did was worse than what Cozy Glow did.” Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

“You know, this trip wasn’t as weird as I thought it was.” Smolder told Spike.

“This show is weird. We’re awesome.”

“Yeah, we sure are!” Smolder agreed with Spike. Smolder then turned to Barb. “So, what are you gonna do now?”

“I really don’t know. This job was all I had.” Twilight came over upon hearing that.

“You can always come back to Equestria with us. Though, you’d have to get used to walking on all fours.”

“You mean it?” Barb asked.

“Sure! What are friends for?” Twilight began to trot towards the portal.

“Twilight!” She turned to see Flash limping over to her. He looked very bruised. “Twilight! I got hit by a car! It was awful! But, it made me realize… that there’s really no other mare I’d rather be with.” Flash said panting as he put his hooves on Twilight’s shoulders. “I love you, Twilight.” Twilight stood there staring at Flash. She then raised a hoof and punched Flash in the face, knocking him out.

“I want a divorce.” Twilight said as she turned to the portal. Spike, Barb, Discord and Fluttershy followed her. Smolder picked up Flash and carried him to the portal. She knew it would be wrong to leave him there.

(Underground Stage)

Jason and Beegle’s bodies were laying on the metal floor. Beegle still had the crowbar in his head and Jason had a giant hole in the back of his neck where Twilight stabbed him. Suddenly, a green gas made its way to Jason’s body. It started to flow into his neck wound, and it slowly healed. Jason’s hand then balled up into a fist. Jason was alive again. He got up and looked ahead of him to see who revived him: a pink pegasus filly with a light-blue mane and tail and a chess piece for a cutie mark. The filly turned to the screen and winked as it turned black.

(The sound of the fillie’s evil laughter is heard)
