...what is it...
...Kill it...
...Information from it...

I’m still trapped in my mind, my real body still in a deep sleep. I sit in my mind in wait as I hear tid bits of the conversation outside.
I look around in slight worry, wondering how I was found, and what they’ll do to me while I’m vulnerable.

Judging from what I can gather they seem confused, but it sounds as if they want to take me somewhere. I can’t let this happen, so I try to force consciousness and free myself from the confines of my mind. I try yelling to wake myself up, or think of something from my past to scare myself up, but nothings worked. I must have been really fucking tired.

I try and think but sigh in defeat. Usually I would think of a certain memory to wake
myself up, but It doesn’t seem to be working this time around. I might as well just sit and wait and deal with the issue when I fully awake.

...Bring it here...

Im waking up! Finally! The bright white of my barren mind slowly starts to dim into a grey as my body in the real world slowly starts to gain its consciousness back.

I feel the tightness in my chest as I’m pulled out of my head, and thrust into the world of the living.

I jolt into a sitting position, and pull my sidearm out, aiming it at the three ponies who found me. They don’t look like they’re that friendly, all three adorning scars on their bodies. There’s a regular pony, like the one at the farm, but the next two seem like they belong in a myth.

Is that a unicorn? I think about this and realize that it possibly could use magic. I don’t know how dangerous magic can be so I’ll have to be cautious about that. The next pony has wings, but I can’t seem to remember the specific name given to that hybrid. Pegasor? No, it’s Pegasus I think.

I shake my head and decide to deal with it later. They all look frightened at my sudden awakening but they soon calm down and give me evil smiles.

“And here I thought you were dead. Glad your not, now I get to kill you.” The Unicorn says to me. They all wear black cloaks, strange. He approaches me and I see his horn start glowing with an aqua aura, then a somewhat large dagger is taken out of its hiding spot in the cloak, covered in the same aqua aura.

I don’t even have time to stand up before the dagger is lunged at my chest, I roll out of the way and aim my sidearm only to get my hand slashed, leaving a large gash at the top of my hand. I grunt in pain as I drop my sidearm, but I disregard it for now. I don’t have the time to try and retrieve it.

The unicorn goes for another slash but I roll back before it could connect.

“Quick little bucker aren’t you.” Did he say bucker? Is that their variant of a swear. I cut the thought short as another slash of the dagger comes my way. Instead of trying to dodge it this time I throw my arm up, causing the blade to bounce off some armour plating I have on my forearms, resonating a loud ting. He looks slightly aggravated at this and looks at his dagger to see that a decent portion of it chipped off.

I chuckle and move from my knee to a full standing position, allowing them to see my full person, my cloak being caught in the wind. I look down at the unicorn and quickly grab his horn, causing him to flail and scream in pain.

The energy coming off his horn was weird. When I grabbed it my hand started to feel numb. I notice that me touching his horn was causing him a great deal of pain, so I pulled his head to the ground and kneeled in front of him. He looks up at my helmet with pupils as small as a pin, and his breathing erratic.

“P-please don’t eat me! We’ll leave you alone I promise! We’re just trying to make a living!” He pleads with me. I pull him up to look me in my eyes, or in his case, where my would be.

I let go of his horn and he looks at me with slight relief, but as he attempted to scoot away I put one hand on his snout and another behind his head and jerked it to the left, filling the air with a loud CRACK as I snap his neck.

His lifeless body falls to the ground and I stand back up. Staring at the remaining two assailants. They look extremely fearful, and I see one shed a tear, but they’re sadness soon turns to anger as they both glare daggers into me, and get into fighting stances.

I just stand and wait for one to make a move. The Pegasi makes the first attack and throws herself at me, using her wings to make her attack quicker. I move my body to the left and she zooms past me.

I shake my head at the move and look back at the regular pony, he bares his teeth at me and charges me, but instead of trying to ram into me, he pulls a knife last second and throws it at me. I wasn’t expecting this and the knife lodged itself into my thigh.

I drop to my knee at I lose control in the leg but look back up at him just to receive a kick to the face. I fly back a few yards and try to get up, but the Pegasi is now on top of me pinning me down.

For something so small it has a fair bit of strength. Before I could try and escape the other pony walks over to us.

“Keep it pinned Feather Weight. I’m gonna make it suffer for what it did to Razor.” I hear him say. I furrow my brow and try to shake the Pegasi off, testing its strength, but it stomps on my arms to get them to quit moving. “Now.. are you ready to suffer, creature?” I stay quiet as he shrugs and moves to the leg the knife is in. It’s bleeding but not as bad as it will be in a second. I see the pony take the knife and twist it in my leg, causing me to recoil in pain, though I don’t give him the satisfaction of screaming as the muscle and nerves are twisted around. All I need to do is wait.

“Doesn’t feel good does it?” He says with a malicious grin. The Pegasi on top of me looks at my mask and shivers a bit before putting more force into keeping me down. The regular pony rips the knife out of my leg, allowing the wound to bleed profusely.

I feel myself getting dizzy as the blood loss starts to take its toll, but I shake away the feeling. I just wanted a damn nap.

I watch as the bloodied knife is lifted into the air, readying for another a strike on my other leg. With renewed vigor I grunt as I push the Pegasi off of me, launching her a bit away from me. The regular pony watches in fear as I rip the blade from his hoof and stab it into his eye. Killing him immediately.

The last assailant watches as she’s now the last one alive, and tried to fly away, but I hurried to my dropped sidearm and take aim before shooting a single round.

I watch with satisfaction as it connects with the back of her head and her body drops from the sky, a cloud of red blood soon following her.

With all of them dead I suddenly fall to my knee as the blood loss takes it effect. I get up and start slowly limping to my bag.

Once there I sit against the tree and let out a quiet chuckle as the wound in my leg starts throbbing with sharp pain. With steady hands I dig into my backpack, searching for the little amount of medical supplies I packed. After some tedious searching I pull out a roll of gauze, some disinfectant, and some pain killers.

Annoyed at the lack of medical supplies I packed, I bite my the inside of my cheek but get to work. I pour the disinfectant on my leg would then some on my hand, then I take the gauze and wrap it very tightly around my leg, stopping some of the blood from flowing. I then cut off a small piece and wrap it on my hand.

Fucking ponies. Couldn’t just let me sleep. What are they doing out here anyway. I take off my helmet and down a couple painkillers just to calm the burning feeling in my leg.

I wait a few seconds before sliding the helmet back on my head.

I place the supplies back in my bag and just sit there, taking a look at the three ponies I just massacred. Whatever, it was self defence, it’s not like I killed innocents.

I close my eyes and lean my head against the tree. I hear a popping sound and a person gasp in disgust. I open my eyes and look to see Discord eyeing the bodies. He doesn’t even seem to notice me until I clear my throat. He turns to me quickly and looks at the bandages turned red on my leg and hand and rushes over.

“What happened here!” He yells at me. I cough once before looking up at him.

“Self defence. Little assholes found me while I was sleeping.” I say flatly. He turns around and makes an audible huff before turning back to me.

“We need to leave this area. I know of a certain Zebra here in the Everfree, but we’ll need to backtrack back to the other side of Ponyville. I know you got some distance but these wounds will surely hinder your capabilities. She will heal you and I’ll see what I can do to bring one of the Princesses to you.” He stares at my wounds. I think about this for a second. I wanna keep going, but let’s be realistic, that knife most likely hit an artery. And with that pony twisting the blade I won’t be able to walk very quickly.

“One of those ponies twisted a knife in my leg, damaging some of the nerves and muscle in there. We could try and walk back, but if we get spotted while trying to get around the town I’m fucked.” I state. He takes a second to think and looks back at me.

“I can teleport us, but you’ll have to close your eyes when I do it, otherwise you’ll go blind for a while,” Teleporting? Oh boy. “Are you ready?” He asks tentatively. I look at him and nod once after making sure I have everything. He then placed his hand on my shoulder and I close my eyes.
