Chapter 1: The First Victim..

The tall, colorful Changeling king was sitting on the ground, holding his neck, breathing heavily. His back legs twitched, and he was rocking back and forth, mumbling to himself. What was happening?! His mind is...deteriorating!

“ Everything’sfineeverything’sfineeverything’sfineeverythingsfineEVERYTHING’SFINE! “ He muttered, his eye twitching. His mind blurred, everything fading, and brightening over and over and over again. He got up, only to fall back to the ground, huffing. He was shaking, and his hooves twitched. Tears started welling up. He just...couldn’t handle this. It hurt. It hurt too much. Nothing was right! He guessed this was why Chrysalis hated Twilight.

After that..experiment, they did together..he wasn’t gonna feel the same.

“ TWILIGHT?! T-TWILIGHT, HELP! “ He screamed. He was tied up to the wall, woken from a sudden. He huffed, looking around. Chains kept him to the wall, his panicking not doing well for his predicament. Thorax called Twilight’s name, but nothing happened. He kept calling, but nobody was coming. After a while, he just gave up, his body needing rest. Thorax felt tears stream down his cheeks, sobbing. After a few more seconds, he gasped, hearing hoofsteps.

“ Thorax.. “ Twilight said, wearing a while lab coat. Thorax smiled, sighing out of relief.

“ T-Twilight! Thank god! W-We need to get out of here! “ He called, panicked. Twilight didn’t say anything. She just smiled, taking out a scalpel. Thorax’s relief, quickly formed into fear. What was..she doing?!

“ ..T-Twilight? Don’t..don’t, no, no, no, no no no NO NO NO! “ He cried, as Twilight started toward him. Thorax started panicking, pulling at the chains. He started to cry once again.

“ NO! NO NO NO, TWILIGHT STOP! W-WHAT ARE YOU-STOP! PLEASE, DON’T— “

“ Shh..shhh..relax. Thorax, I’m just going to..help you with your..SOUL problem, ok? “ She said, holding the blade of the scalpel to Thorax’s chest, above his middle chest gem. He huffed, tears streaming down his face.

“ NO! D-DON’T HURT US! “ He yelled, squirming. Twilight held Thorax to the wall, with just one hoof. Thorax’s back legs kept driving at the ground, wanting to go back home! He didn’t want this! He didn’t want this, and I know Chrysalis wouldn’t either.

“ P-PLEASE, DON’T HURT HER! S-SHE- “ Thorax screamed, Twilight scowling at the panicked Changeling. The scalpel cut at Thorax’s chest, making him jump with pain. He kept screaming, the scalpel cutting into his chest, a certain glow coming from the inside? Twilight blinked. She kept going, ignoring Thorax’s cries.

“STOP! STOP STOP STOP, LEAVE HER ALONE! DON’T HURT HER! STO-THORAX, DO SOMETHING!- “ He kept screaming, Chrysalis trying to escape from this too. As she kept cutting, the glow growled brighter, and brighter, before it was shining like the sun! She put her hoof in it, pulling out the SOUL. She could hear screams of them both.

“ STOP, PLEASE! GET AWAY! I NEVER WANTED THIS! PLEASE, JUST LEAVE US ALONE! PLEASE! “ They both kept screaming. Thorax stared in terror. His chest was bleeding out, huffing, tears still streaming, before passing out, his body going limp. Before Twilight could do anything to it, she put it on the ground, as it glowed with the screams of the Changelings.

“ GO GO GO GO GO. “ They chanted with fear. The SOUL glowed, blasting as Twilight. The alicorn flew into the wall, as the SOUL dragged itself to the lifeless corpse of Thorax. It floated up to the cut part of his chest, floating back into it. Twilight was out cold, so she didn’t noticed, the back of her head bleeding. Vines wrapped around the chains, pulling them out of the walls, the SOUL back in place. Thorax gasped, collapsing on the ground, huffing. He curled up, his eyes glancing around. He slowly got up, wobbling. Chrysalis appeared next to him, feeling the exact same way, as she wobbled. They both looked at each other. They both huffed.

“ ..Are you..ok? “ Thorax asked, blinking. Chrysalis glanced away, before sighing, shakily. She was silent, before collapsing. Thorax quickly caught her, looking at her concerningly.

“ C-CHRYSALIS?! “

” D-Don’t worry, Thorax...I’m fine, just..tired.. “ She moaned, not being able to move. He blinked, before lifting her onto his back, and hurrying off, but being careful of Chrysalis.

“ ..Her..fault.. “ He muttered, softly. He sat, his eyes shadowed, thinking. It was..her fault. Twilight’s. This wasn’t on him, or Chrysalis this time...it was her. It was her! It was HER!

“ ..Her fault..her fault, her fault, her fault her fault heR FAULT HER FAULT HER FAULT!! “ Thorax screamed, vines growing within the walls, growing out of the rocks. He huffed, getting up, vines with thorns wrapping around his legs, but they weren’t harming him. The vines ripped themselves off the ground, keeping themselves on his legs. He growled deep from his throat. His anger boiled up, before screaming out,

“GAHHH!! “ Vines broken loose, smashing, crashing through walls. He felt nothing but hate...but something else..just lingered. He didn’t know what..but he was about to find out..

“ THORAX, ARE YOU OK!? I HEARD YOU SCREAMING, AND—what the.. “ Pharynx glanced around the rocky room, it was..damaged? Vines were everywhere!

“ ..T-Thorax...w-what—GAHH! “ He couldn’t finish his sentence, as a vine wrapped around his neck, like a boa constructor, crushing him. Thorax giggled.

” Well, hello BROTHER OF MINE~ “ He winked, smiling widely. The vines crushed his older brother even more, but Thorax took no notice. Pharynx started to gasp, and tug at the vine.

“ It’s oh, so nice of you to CHECK IN! HA! But, little ol’ me has to..attend, to some things~ “

“ T-Thorax...w-w-what’s..wrong with you?! “ Pharynx wheezed. Thorax only snickered in response, throwing his brother to the ground. He gasped for air, before looking up at his..twisted brother. What hit him so fast? Why did he snap like this?

“ W-Wh..Thorax..what’s gotten into you?! “ He exclaimed, backing away from the taller, younger brother. Thorax looked gazed, before stomping onto Pharynx, thorns poking, and pricking at him.

“ Oh, nothing, brother of mine! Just a little somepony who—well—might need a bit..of a PUNISHMENT~. “ He smirked, not looking away from his brother. Pharynx hissed, pushing Thorax off. He stumbled back, growling.

“ THORAX, STOP THIS! This isn’t like you! I don’t know what happened, but you need to stop! I’m not letting you keep this u—AH! “ Pharynx cried out again, as Thorax blasted at him. He rammed into his own brother, his antlers penetrated through him.

“ Yes, I suppose you DON’T!! WELL, I’M NOT GIVING THIS UP! I’M NOT GIVING UP BEFORE TWILIGHT PAYS, FOR WHAT SHE DID TO ME! TO HER! TO US! She WILL PAY! JUST WATCH! Oh..wait..you CAN’T, BECAUSE YOU’RE DEAD! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! “ He laughed insanely. Thorax didn’t feel remorse, but more..

Pleasure.

It’s not like he was going to understand anyways. Thorax’s eyes changed to green, Chrysalis calming him down.

“ Thorax, w-what did you do?! He didn’t do anything! “ She exclaimed. Thorax took back control, smiling.

“ But this is GREAT! I-I FEEL LIKE..LIKE I COULD..I COULD IT AGAIN! YEAH, I’LL DO IT AGAIN! JUST WATCH ME, CHRYSALIS! YOU’LL SEE! Ha..HA..HAHA..HAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAH! “ He bursted, rushing out the room, his eyes red, as blood. His elytra opened, flying off.

“ MAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! “

This..was going to be FUN...

Chapter 2: What’s Happening To Me?

He flew along, heading to his victim’s area. Twilight Sparkle. He glanced around the place here and there, but with no emotion. Chrysalis was quiet, not wanting to..disturb him. She felt..a bad aura, around him. She said none about it however. After what seemed like hours, he landed toward Ponyville, around the EverFree, and Fluttershy’s cottage. He looked over to the side, to see the cottage. His eyes widened just a bit, before smiling. Maybe visiting...one pony.. wouldn’t hurt..right? He trotted over to the cottage. He had met Fluttershy before, and she was nice...

The perfect target? She wasn’t too much of a fighter, and if he could so much as even..try! Would she fight back? Or coward in FEAR... Most likely. So would he? His thought were jumbled, yet one stayed strongly.

Kill. He didn’t notice he was already there. He took a breath, and knocked on the door. He heard steps..before the door opened. Fluttershy stood at the door, her eyes gazing at him, calmly. She greeted him, and asked him how his day was. He said it was ok, and all that biz. His thoughts were still spinning and turning. All, except for one. Kill. Kill. Kill. He tried to ignore it..but nothing would work! After he thought, he started feeling bad for killing Pharynx. He was his own brother! He just..upright stabbed him, and left him to rot.

“ ..Thorax? Are you ok? “ Fluttershy asked, sounding a bit worried. Thorax blinked, looking back at her, and..smiled.

“ Hey, Uhm..can you follow me for a moment? Please? “ He asked, walking off. Fluttershy, a bit scared, followed. Thorax tried to figure out why he was leading her away. Kill. That’s all he thought. Why? What was going on? His visions was red, and he felt himself slowly losing it. He stopped somewhere in the forest, and Fluttershy was behind him...

Perfect~

“ Uhm..T-Thorax? “ Fluttershy stuttered, cowering a bit. All she got as a reply, was a snicker..then a giggle..then a laugh. A insane laugh, at that. Fluttershy let out a scared noise, before backing away. Thorax turned to her, his eyes glowing red.

“ HAHAHA! Let’s get this over with, huh? PAL~ “ The king giggled, walking toward the Pegasus. She’d start to tear up a bit, out of fear. She got stopped by a tree, backing up against it. Fluttershy tried to talk..

“ T-Thorax..p-please.. “ But the Changeling already made his decision. He lifted her up into the air with vines, by the neck, of course. She started to choke, flailing around, terrified. Thorax just grinned, before buzzing up into the air, circling the poor Pegasus.

“ Now, to make this quick, shall we? I wouldn’t want to put you through...too much~. “ He spun around, slowly for a moment, leaving Fluttershy to slowly lose consciousness. Thorax watched, smiling, and giggling.

” That’s right...close your eyes..and don’t think about..ANYTHING~... “ The vines slowly bring her to the ground, her body limp. She’d open her eyes here, and there, before closing them again. The only thing she saw, was the creature she saw as a friend. Was he even himself? This wasn’t like him, she knew it. Before she knew it..

She was impaled. With a spiked vine.

She screamed, before silence creeped. Thorax just stood, grinning. He had killed his friend. That was two killed. He was already in that killing mood, so he wandered around, leaving Fluttershy’s body to bleed, and soon, to decay, and rot. He wandered around the forest, stomping on small critters, and even killed a manticore, with effort, of course. He could slowly feel himself going madder, and madder, each creature he killed. After a while, he got bored. So, he started heading out, before some pony caught his eye.

“ You! What did you do to poor Fluttershy?! “ The white mare accused, tears in her eyes. She had a purple mane, and she was a unicorn. Rarity, was it? Yes. That was it. He blinked, not knowing she would show up. He started to giggle.

“ Ohh, you know~. Put her to rest~. Ehehehe! “ He put a hoof to his mouth, winking. Rarity stepped back, scowling. She wasn’t going to let this..maniac kill her best friend, and get away with it!

“ Y-You—YOU MONSTER!! WAIT UNTIL I TELL TWILIGHT! SHE’LL TELL CELESTIA, AND YOU’LL BE BIG TROUB— “ She couldn’t finish her sentence, as 5 vines impaled her, immediately. Thorax was already on a killing streak, it wasn’t going to end here. His eyes shadowed, as he slowly walked toward her. Rarity could only watch in horror, somehow not dead yet. Thorax, about 2 inches from her face, glared at her, with a toothy grin.

” ..You know. Something must be wrong with your head. YOU CAN’T STOP ME!! “ He exclaimed, vines wrapping around her head. Rarity started to cry from fear, her eyes pleading for her life.

” But DON’T WORRY! I’ll fix it for you~ “ He whispered, as the vines around her head tightened. They twisted, as he heard her neck crack. Her head snapped clean off, blood pouring from it. He snickered, dropped the head. Rarity’s violet mane, was now tinted with blood. Her eyes rolled back into her head, leaving the whites of it showing. Her mouth was gaping open as well. Thorax giggled, kicking the head, before stomping on it, violently. Her skull cracked, and was crushed into pieces. The Changeling just scooped up some blood, examining it, before sighing. He just wiped it against the ground, before walking off, blood trailing behind him.

After some more walking, he was in the paths of Ponyville, the blood wasn’t trailing anymore, so he looked completely normal. Although, he couldn’t help but smile at all of the WEAKLINGS he could so easily kill! Actually—Wait-no—what? Kill? What was going on? His head honestly hurt, so he tried to not question anything. While walking, he saw a small purple dragon, standing by a taller, blue dragon. Spike and Ember. He blinked, before something sparked.

He had killed his own brother, and one of his friends...so maybe two more? Wouldn’t hurt,..right? That’s all his mindset was at this point. So, if that was is decision...

This..was going to be...F U N..
