Half a man

Another setting chapter.

'Crap, my whole body hurts. Worse than that one time they tested my pain tolerance and brought that goddamn rover with a taser into my cell..'

The memory of that bucket of bolts the guards named after an old movie sent a shiver up my spine. The pain that Wall-E brought me will never be forgotten.

That did hurt pretty bad...

My eyes shot open at the sound of his voice but were soon shut back closed as I felt a blinding light penetrate my vision. Slowly letting my eyes adjust to the new lighting, I checked to see if my mask was on but were baffled by my hand staying in place instead of shooting towards my head.

You still haven't noticed, have you?

Doing my best to ignore him, I suddenly realized that I was no longer on the unforgiving dirt of Ponyville, but actually laying down on what I assumed was a bed made for ants. Well at least that's what I thought considering my legs were dangling off the end. Now that I thought about it, I couldn't really feel my right leg. Fearing the worst, I scanned my body over for any injuries. Starting at my arms, my suspicions were confirmed as I saw they were chained to the sides of the bed. Glancing at my torso, I was taken aback at how I was no longer wearing my clothes, but rather covered in a hospital gown that was only big enough to cover my lower abdomen and privates.

'So these ponies have probably seen my junk. Fan-fucking-tastic!'

You're in for a surprise if you think thats the worst.

Letting my anger get the best of me, I snapped back with a harsh tone.

"Why don't you just shut the fuck u-", my rant was cut short as my eyes set upon my legs, or leg as it were. In place of the muscular limb, my right thigh ended in a pathetic looking stump. Moving my thigh muscles, the stump reacted by wiggling around.

'..... That's new.....'

That's new? Are you a fucking idiot? Our leg is gone!

"Our leg? Its my leg that you somehow got cut off!"

The orange one is strong, she reminds me of 256.

"Why the hell am I talking with you? It always ends up with me just getting pissed. We're done here."

I need the rest anyway, have a nice day...

With that, I felt him slip back to the recess of my mind, leaving me at peace. Slightly tugging at the chains that held my arms, their strength was similar to that of steel. Putting more strain into my arms, the feeling of the chains digging into my wrists sent a rush of ecstasy into my blood. With pleasure running into my senses, I felt a surge of renewed strength that tipped the chains past its point and caused me to grunt in pleasure. Swinging my leg to the side of the bed, I sat myself upright and examined the room I was placed in.

To say the least, it was empty. The only things that were present besides the white walls and the tiled floor was the bed I was sitting on and the debris of the chains I broke. Besides the fact that the room was barren, something felt missing.

"How the fuck did I get in here?"

Now that I noticed it, there were no windows or doors present. Pushing myself off the bed, I momentarily forgot about my missing leg and fell face first onto the ground.

'Gonna have to get used to that...'

Rolling myself over, I faced the ceiling and contemplated the current situation.

'Lets see, I'm in an unknown destination, I'm missing a leg and to top it all off I have been stripped of my clothes. Reminds me of that one new years party I had. Although I had my leg still attached... I think...'

Stretching my arm up towards the side of the bed, I raised myself onto my leg and balanced myself. Taking a few experimental hops towards a wall, I successfully reached it without falling over and leaned onto it. In response, the wall began to ripple, showing a sign of false tendency. Raising my brow in suspicion, I began to shimmy across the wall, scanning it with my hand while the other supported me. Halfway across the wall, my hand bumped into a unseen object. Grasping the object in my hand, I examined the object which had a circular head and thin neck.

'Well I'll be damned, a doorknob.'

Twisting the knob, the wall began to part in a rectangular shape until it fully opened, revealing a being of shadow which possessed both a horn and wings.

"Thou art awake, creature?", its feminine voice said which was laced with malice. At that exact moment, my makeshift clothing fell to the ground in a heap, exposing myself to the shadow entity.

'Well, I'm boned.'
