Worm: Nightfall
Chapter 6
Previous Chapter!
The town of Cradle Bay, in the state of Washington has been dying for years. Thanks to the adults of the town allowing Dr. Caldicott to brainwash their kids into being prefect members of society. Ending with the doctor and the kids all dead, after some kids who weren’t brainwashed fraught back. Afterwards the young members of the town all left when they were able to leaving behind only the adults who have to face the fact that without young people, their town is doom. (1)
The doors of the school has closed down thanks to lack of students and many of the businesses have been forced to closed down. The town has tried to change its image and get people to move to the town. But the reputation of the town hating young people, has labeled the town as a horrible place to move to for anyone young. The town is now just a rest stop and a place to fuel.
In the abandon strip mall of the town, the members of Slaughterhouse 9 have been hiding out, laying low from their last rampage. Inside a makeshift lab Bonesaw is preparing to create the newest member of Slaughterhouse 9, she’s preparing to fuse the heroine Mouse Protector with the villainess Ravager. The villainess had hired them to take care of the heroine for them, which they did, then they capture Ravager as they don’t take orders.
“Hello child,” a soft voice called out to Bonesaw causing her to turn around and see a woman with long pink hair standing behind her. She wore a skin tight yellow outfit that has green rings on it that is hypnotic just to look at, not help how the rings on her chest makes her already giant breasts which are bigger than Bonesaw’s torso seem bigger, which draws Bonesaw’s eyes to her breasts. Her large bat like wings on her back also have hypnotic circles dyed on them, all to help her powers work better as people have to look at her for her power to work.
“Flutterbat,” Bonesaw managed to say as she falls prey to the villainess’s power of induce sensations of intense dizziness and nausea in others, but more importantly she has the power to hypnotize people to do anything she wants.
“Yes, that’s me and you are now in my power,” Flutterbat said.

Outside -
The leader of Slaughterhouse, Jack Slash was walking to the restroom that still work, when something slammed into him at a speed of faster than light that left a rainbow trail behind it. The bloody pieces of Jack Slash flew through the air, his head still alive as it spun in the air. His mind wondering what happen as the life left his intact head.
Rainbow Dash stop herself in midair, her metal wings expanding and the turbines built in the wings slowing down. Her skintight blue bodysuit hug her slender body. A metal harness covers her torso that connects to her metal wings. She wears a head covering helmet that protects her face from the sure speed she’s going. Power gauntlets covers her forearms as do the jet boots, both the gauntlets let her fire plasma bolts. And a forcefield generator which is powered by her movement creates shield around her body that allows her to slam into things at top speed without harming her.
Her power is momentum, she gets faster the longer she moves. Should it be running, riding a bike, driving a vehicle, or having metal wings that lets her fly, as long as she’s moving she only gets faster. Her suit is design to allow her to accelerate at super speed without harming herself in the process. And her powers leaves behind a rainbow behind her whenever she uses her power. The forcefield was added so that unlike where in the show, where she died when she was trick into slamming herself into the side of a cliff, creating a blood covered impact on the cliff. (2)
“Jack Slash is dead,” Rainbow Dash said on the com link to the others who were sent to kill the Slaughterhouse 9.

Shatterbird found her power of glass useless against the Pie sisters. Pinkie Pie who has the power to turn herself into dirt. Maud Pie has the power to transform herself into any kind of stone. Limestone Pie has the power to transform herself into sand. Marble Pie has the power to transform herself into clay. Their earth forms could be damaged by her glass, but they just healed from the cuts.
Shatterbird tried to use her power on Limestone as her power does work on sand in a much cruder way. But Limestone wouldn’t allow herself to be controlled and her sisters wouldn’t let that happen either. The Pie sisters dog piled on Shatterbird in their earthen forms. Maud whose stone form is the only one that is completely solid held down, Shatterbird while her sisters in their more semi-blob forms engulfed her in their mass. Pouring themselves into her body, till she stop moving and the four sisters each grab a limb and tore Shatterbird apart to make sure she’s dead.

The Pretender has extremely pale skin, shoulder-length silver hair that curls at the end, thick bangs that cover her eyes and a short ponytail held by a grey band. She wears a dull green Victorian era dress with darker green sleeves and a large, white apron with dark green shoes. Her clothes do little to hide her voluptuous body, huge breasts and large hips. Her pale skin is contrasted by the red lipstick smeared over her mouth and pink blush on her cheeks.
She bends her knees as she leans down and pick up the Slaughterhouse member Crawler, who is now nothing more than a doll. Her power lets her turn anyone any anything into a doll with a simple touch.
Standing behind her is The Lady, who is an unnaturally tall, voluptuous woman with the appearance of a Japanese geisha. She has raven-black hair that she keeps partially wrapped in a bun. She is adorned in a long dark brown kimono, which seems to trail moderately behind her when she walks. Her face is perpetually covered by a white porcelain mask similar to a Japanese Noh mask, through which two lifeless black eyes stare out.
Her power is shadows, she can teleport from one shadow to another and controls shadows. She can make shadows become solid, grabbing people and objects or making the shadow razor sharp and slice them to pieces. She also can control people by their shadows, puppeteering their bodies or simply making them unable to move as long as they cast a shadow.
Like she did to Crawler, making him unable to move as The Pretender walks up to him and pokes him. Turning him into a lifeless doll, completely aware of the world around him, but unable to move or do anything. And his power that lets him adapt his body is completely useless.

Mono is a tall pale-skinned woman whose face is hidden by a light brown paper bag with two round eye holes that allow her to see. She wears a one buttoned khaki trench coat that reaches below her knees above a brownish-gray shirt tucked into her long brownish-gray pants rolled up at the end and wears brown shoes. Her outfit strains to contain her voluptuous figure.
She has the power to slow down time in her surrounding environment while remaining unaffected by this change herself, causing any people or objects which were previously moving at a normal pace to slow down to less than half of their actual time in her presence. She can also use this power to fast-forward herself in a limited extent of time, giving her the illusion of teleporting despite actually just walking to her intended spot.
Mono is using her power to keep Mannequin frozen in place as Six drains the life force out of him.
Six wears a bright yellow raincoat that ends just above her knees with three buttons, two pockets, and a rhombus-shaped hood, with matching yellow rain boots. The coat strains to cover her busty body. Up close, she has black bob-cut hair with bangs that completely obscure the top half of her face, only revealing her tiny nose and mouth.
Six’s power is energy absorption, either it be energy from a generator or from living beings. She is able to use her power by physical contact or by sucking the energy in by her mouth. Like she’s doing to Mannequin, as she suck the life energy from the few remaining organs in the robotic shell he place his body in, leaving just a shell with organs inside of it.

William Manton inside his van suddenly lost control of The Siberian his projection. He was controlling her to scout around the area and see if he can’t find someone to have fun with. He spotted a woman wearing a purple jumpsuit that did little to hide her busty body and wearing a visor over her eyes. She also carried a large shoulder bag. She spotted Siberian and just wave hello, which made him get close to her. He was thinking it might be another villain who is out looking for them or a hero who thinks they can take on Siberian. As he got close, the woman open the bag she’s carrying and the last thing he saw was like Siberian was being sucked into the bag.
William tried to resummon Siberian but found nothing, he couldn’t summon his projection. The unknown cape had somehow trap his projection and left him powerless. He froze as he heard giggling and animal sounds outside of the van, the back door of the van was rip off showing a trio of scary clown women standing outside. They all dressed in the same skin tight black outfits that cover their whole bodies but expose their white faces with different colored lips of red, yellow, and blue.
Cheerilee from her spot watch as the Giggles enter the van with it rocking as the man inside screamed in terror. Her power is a shoulder bag that lets her hold anything she wants in it. She just opens it and tells whatever she sees to get into the bag and they do.
The Giggles can only be told apart by the lipstick color they wear. Red is Xanthia who has a powerful sense of smell, yellow is Yelena who can extend her arms. and blue is Zaida who can float. They’re very creepy and they will tear you apart while you’re alive, when they get ahold of you.

Inside what use to be a sporting gear store, Burnscar tried burning the Miser sisters in front of her but Heat Miser simply absorb all the heat from the surrounding. Followed by Cold Miser freezing her body solid as she takes all warmth out of the area. The sisters grab some metal shelves off of a display and used them to smash Burnscar’s frozen body to pieces.
Burnscar was frozen but was still aware, she couldn’t move or use her powers, unable to do anything as the Miser sisters smash her frozen body to pieces. She wonders why she couldn’t feel any pain as the sisters smash her body. She wonders if her head remain intact, Bonesaw could just put her back together. That was her last thought as the sisters smash her head to pieces.

Cherish hearing fighting going on around her turn to run but stop as she spots Barbwire and Gemstorm standing behind her. She watched the Power Ponies and know that both women are Barbwire and Gemstorm. She remembers that in their episode Barbwire was killed when her tentacle hair was tangled up in gears that pulled her in and crush her to death, and Gemstorm had a sonic boom used on her to shatter her gem form. Cherish eyes widen as Wraith is missing…
Cherish eyes widen as something stuck her from behind and she felt something pulled out of her. It’s like everything that she enjoys and color of the world around her just disappeared. She fell to her knees as she couldn’t think of anything but sadness, there is no joy or color just sadness and hopelessness. There is no reason to live and no reason to go on.
Cherish didn’t care anymore as she sat on her knees with the trio surrounding her. She didn’t care that Gemstorm created 3 crystal spears and handed two to her friends. And she didn’t care as the plunge the crystal spears into her body.

Later -
The local and state police have the strip mall surrounded, other law enforcement agencies of the West coast are also coming to the dying town as well as news crews. Word of the Slaughterhouse 9 being killed quickly spread and people are coming in to make sure that they’re dead. The west coast PRT agents are talking with Mouse Protector who is the only one left alive.
“The Power Pony villains killed all the Slaughterhouse members. They told me where to find their bodies before they left. The only one I saw still alive was Bonesaw and maybe Crawler as he’s been turn into a doll,” Mouse Protector said.
“You have any idea why Bonesaw was kept alive?” the agent ask.
“No, all I know is that Flutterbat used her hypnotic powers on her or something. They didn’t tell me anything,” Mouse Protector said.
“And the villain that was with you. Why did they kill her?” the agent ask.
“She mouthed off at Flutterbat and she used the drill on her head,” Mouse Protector said.
“Oh yeah in the show Fluttershy is very polite but as cruel to people who crosses her,” the agent said.
“Yeah, the villains are just like how I remember them,” Mouse Protector said being a fan of the show.

Author's Note
1 - The events that happen in the 90’s horror film, ‘Disturbing Behavior’ happen and what happen during the film got out, with news networks making it into a media circus. So the young all left the town and the town is now a dying town as there is no young people, and the reputation of the town and the people there make it so that no one wants to move there or do business with the town.
This happens a lot in real life. Once the young people leave, the town dies.
2 - The reason why in fiction the reason why people and things that can move at super speed never show how scary it is to face someone who can move at a speed that leaves everything else in slow motion, is that it is just way too overpowered. As something slamming into anything at the speed of light and isn’t Superman level tough, will be completely be destroyed.
