Cadance realized that the door to the temple room was locked she banged on the door with her hoof and even tried to use magic on it to open it, and when trying to teleport out of the room it seem to cancel out the spell and shock her which reminded the pink alicorn of the magic used when a detective or Royal Guard is needed at a crime scene. ''Don't worry help will arive shortly Royal Guards will raid this place.'' Cadance reminded herself a she trotted back and forth.

All of a sudden and very randomly when Cadance touch the door again it was unlocked. The alicorn grabbed her gun and carefully walked out of the temple room and went into a dark hallway thinking she could find The Hacksaw Killer in there. Once she turned on the flashlight on her gun and horn to use as a light source she carefully shined the flashlight on diffrent things as she made her way across the hall.

When making it to the end of the hall she got stabbed with a needle in the neck ''OWWW'' Cadance yelled pulling the needle out of her neck and getting the liquid out of it revealing it's just water ''This is just water and it didn't even get injected into me.'' the alicorn stated before getting knocked out with a blunt object.

Cadance woke up in this dark room when she tried to move she found herself stuck in a glass cube ''Help HELP!'' the pink alicorn yelled shaking and banging on the cube even trying to teleport out of it and use magic on it to no avail. The lights turned on revealing that there was tubes in the glass cube connected to water jugs. When the princess reached for her gun she couldn't find it and it turned out her gun was sitting on a barrel way out of her reach.

The tape around her neck suddenly started playing when Cadance started thrashing around banging and shaking the glass cube.

''Hello Princess Cadance i wanna play a game the contraption you are in was the orignal contraption i was gonna put you in to test you, which is also a classic to me. You've been covering up corruption in your department not just the small cases of corruption i'm talking about cases like murder and vandalism. The water from these jugs will start pouring out and flow through these tubes and start filling the glass cube live or die Cadance make your choice.'' Stichy concluded

''YOU DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT I WAS SUPPOSE TO DO!'' Cadance yelled banging on the glass cube, as the water from the jugs poured out and flowed through the tubes and started filling up the cube. The Princess of Law Enforcement tried to drink as much water as she could but it didn't seem to make a diffrence as the water eventually reached her mouth causing Cadance to resort to holding he breath.

Eventually the water reached her eyes making her close them and the water eventually covered her entire face. This is when Cadance realized she had a pen with her, she reached into her collar and pulled out the pen and stabbed herself with it and removed the ball pen refill successfully performing a tracheostomy on herself.

Royal Guards along with Captain Shining Armor eventually arrived at the abandoned temple after a while of looking for said temple. When the Royal Guards raided the place they dismantled the ice block trap for evidence and were able to retrieve the bodies of Princess Celestia, Detective Twilight Sparkle, Detective Flurry Heart and a Changeling.

''I don't think there's any survivors of this Hacksaw game'' Shining explained to some Royal Guards ''All the traps had been dismantled as evidence but when were check them for hoofprints or traces of magic we didn't find any traces of the Hacksaw Killer himself.'' Jigsaw explained having saved and holding Twilight's daughter

''WE'VE GOT A LIVE ONE'' a Royal Guard shouted as him along with a couple of other Royal Guards put Cadance in stretcher into a ambulance truck ''I actually didn't expect Cadance to make it out alive, prorbaly end up in a Hacksaw trap and dead by the time we got there.'' Shining said being brutally honest

It wasn't just the abandoned temple they found the Royal Guards also also manage to find Photo Finish's dead body at The Golden Oak Library with a hacksaw with a note attached to it say Somtimes It's Better Not To Save Them. They also found the mess or organs at The Sugarcube Corner with a hacksaw with a note attached to it saying Feel What I Feel.

And finally the dead body of Lyra & the remains of Bon-Bon at the Royal Storage Unit with another hacksaw with a note attached saying Survival Linked To Salvation, once again the traps being dismantled and taken as evidence.

With the lead detective dead Cadance The Princess Of Law Enforcement decided to get a new lead detective enter Detective Mark Hooves. He's a grey earth pony wearing a black bowtie 2 diffrent colored eyes one green and one red his cutie mark was a rusty horseshoe with a 4 leaf clover he never really knew what his cutie mark meant, his colleagues suggested thing like he's lucky but his luck slowly fades away over time.

Another suggestion of what his cutie mark meant was that something bad happing to him could lead to something better basically meaning that unlucky things that happen to him are a blessing in disguise. But what he personally thought his cutie mark meant what that, he might not get very lucky there's a slight chance he can get double lucky which explains the 4 leaf clover.

Throughout his life Hooves had a drug addiction which basically crushed his dream of becoming a detective and eventually a Royal Guard luckily in the end Hooves was able to hide this drug addiction from the department and even more lucky was able to avoid a criminal record from his drug addiction.

Hooves decided to go into a elevator with a dark blue unicorn with a red mane and red pupils wearing sunglasses, once pressing a floor he asked the unicorn ''What floor are you going to?'' Hooves asked the unicorn as the doors closed all of a sudden the unicorn stab him with a needle and injected him with the liquid inside knocking him out ''I think we're both going to the same place.'' Hacksaw said in his slightly raspy voice

When Hooves woke up he found himself in this small space and when his 2 diffrent colored eyes ajusted to the space he realized he was in a wooden crate he started banging on the crate ''HELP SOMEPONY HELP!'' Hooves yelled accidentally turning on a tape.

''Hello Mark Hooves i wanna play a game you may not remember me but i remember you.'' Stichy then narrated a story which will now be played out as a flashback.

Flashback

Hacksaw was with his colt Shiny Blade at the park, during the colt's day at the park he went on the slides the swingset, the seesaw with a couple of other foals and the merry go round with other foals aswell. Out all the things he wanted to do that day Blade wanted to try out his new scooter that looked similar one of his dad's old classmate's scooter.

There wasn't any ponies in the park when Blade wanted to try out his new scooter since many hours had gone by. All the foals and their parents had left there wasn't any ponies on the sidewalk as far as Blade And Hacksaw could tell and the only other pony there was a pegasus.

Meanwhile in a nearby neighborhood Mark Hooves was getting ready to leave his house ''Hey Mark you should try this new alchcol with high alcohol percentage '' Pharynx stated before handing Hooves the bottle ''Are you sure i don't usually take more than a shot.'' The grey pony replied ''Oh come on try it, i turned out okay in the end when i drank it.'' the changeling explained

''Alright you're my friend and i trust a good friend.'' Hooves told his changeling friend Pharynx before drinking half of the bottle. The earth pony felt this weird sensation his eyes widen causing him to slam on the reverse pedel he backup into his mailbox ''woops'' the grey pony said before driving off going through a psychedelic experience.

Blade was getting used to his scooter but once getting the hang of it he decided to try to cross the street with it make to the other side. He looked both ways before crossing and started riding his new toy, all of a sudden out of nowhere a car smash through a couple of trees knocking a small one down ''BLADE LOOK OUT!'' Hacksaw yelled at his colt to far away to do anything.

Blade ended up getting runed over by the car this ended up snapping Hooves out of his psychedelic experience causing him to pull over and break down into tears before walking over and seeing what he has done.

After the court trial The Judge only gave Hooves 6 months in prison since Hoove's Lawyer showed that his client had remorse and was very sorry for his actions. So The Jury concluded that Hooves should receive a light sentence since he felt remorse and also because The Only Witness refused to testify against Hooves even though Hacksaw and His Lawyer tried to get the witness to testify

After Hoove's short sentence he discovered his sister was murdered by her coltfriend which explains why he hasn't seen her in 6 years this discovery caused Hooves to become depressed. Luckily in the end he was able to fufill his dream of being a detective but between those 2 events something happend that changed his life forever.

Hooves just got off of work and since the elevator was too cramped he decided to take the stairs instead he walked down them pretty slowly and sad since it only has been a 2 months since his sister's death. Once getting to the bottom he saw q homeless dark blue unicorn with a red mane and red pupils sitting right above a fire extinguisher.

Right before Hooves walked through the exit of the stairwell he got knocked out by the fire extinguisher.

When Hooves woke up he found himself straped to a chair, he struggled against his restrains a little before drawing his attention to the unicorn. ''Let me guess you're gonna kill me because i killed your colt.'' Hooves said in a sad tone knowing he had nothing else to live for.

''I'm not a murderer, in fact i depise the idea of murder you know you're one of the reason why i appreciate life. Wanting others who don't reform and start appreciating life themselves.'' Hacksaw explained in his slightly raspy voice before his horn lit up and pulled over a mirror and put in front of Hooves.

''I know about your current situation, I know about your sister, I know how you cared for her, I know she was your only family and i want to ask you look at youself you have more to live more i'll give you a purpose in life something you can do to substitute for the boring life you were given so what do you say? Hacksaw asked

''Sure as long as it's something exciting'' Hooves responded ''I want you to make a device out of this glass cube so i can test a pony who wasted her life.'' Hacksaw requested ''WHAT SERIOUSLY I'm not building something random device just to teach a random pony a lesson.'' Hooves protested struggling against his restrains.

''Knew you whould say something like that so i got this'' Hacksaw using magic to pick up a bag a bag of cocaine ''HOW'D YOU GET THAT!?'' Hooves yelled ''Once i got infomation on you i found your drug stash l'll report it to the authorities.'' Hacksaw explained

''Alright fine i'll help you i don't want my dream of becoming a detective or Royal Guard be crushed.'' Hooves stated ''Don't want it to get crushed like a tin can.'' the earth pony thought

The idea of creating a device or contraption wasn't new to Hooves since luckily he had exprience building complex contraptions but the thing that made it hard for the grey pony wasn't building the contraption it was actually how the trap would actually work, Hooves once released from leather straps of the chair then took out a notepad and started drawing down a sketch of the contraption.

Diamond Tiara's disappearance was such a sudden and strange thing to happen to Silver Spoon her childhood friend so suddenly and randomly disappering. The case was looked into but never got anywhere and was eventually dropped, Silver Spoon had her own theories though the first one is that this was just a way for Diamond to ghost her but then remember that there was chaos before Diamond disappeared.

All of a sudden she heard a noise outside her house. Thinking it was another animal she grabbed a stick and went outside but all she found was a knocked over trash can ''Guess they already got away.'' Silver thought walking back to her house before finding Stichy on Blade's (Hacksaw's Colt) scooter ''Why is one of Diamonds expensive dolls here.'' Silver asked before getting a rag of chloroform in her mouth from behind only to spit it out.

(Chloroform doesn't FUCKING instantly knock you out)

Silver Spoon tried trotting only to get a needle stabbed and injected into her neck knocking her out

When Silver woke up she saw that there was something wrong with her glasses when she reached to fix them her hooves got blocked off by something this made her realize that what she was loooking at wasn't her glasses but a glass cube ''What the'' Silver stated trying to move the cube and banging on it. Once giving up she saw the TV in the room turned on and Stichy appeared onscreen holding a expensive spoon in his right hoof

''Hello Silver Spoon i wanna play a game'' Stichy said in a demonic deep voice ''You may not remember who i am but i remember who you are. You along with your childhood friend have wasted your entire lives making fun of the lower class ponies, criticizing and harassing them for something they don't need to be unique inventing the term Blank Flank.''

''In 60 seconds the acid from the jug will flow into the glass cube.'' Stichy explained voice activating some lights around the room revealing the jug of acid above the cube and that the room she was in was a classroom because of the posters and stacked desk and chairs.

Silver manage to recognize one of the posters realizing the classroom she was in was one in the ponyville schoolhouse

''In order to avoid your fate you must find the right key in this ring of keys i can tell it's a classic TV Trope for you but let see how you can handle key confusion in a real life threating situation if you can't find the right key this will be the result'' Stichy explained before showing footage of a mannequin's head disintegrating in the glass cube once the acid was poured in.

''Live or Die make your choice Silver Spoon.'' Stichy said bending the expensive spoon before the TV cut to static.

''Huh where are the-'' Silver said before finding the ring of keys tied to her hoof, when she grabbed a key a beep went off and a 90 second timer started. The earth pony fumbled with the ring of keys before trying one key on the keyholewhich didn't work there was only a dozen keys on the ring but due to the dim lighting sometimes Silver would use the same key more than once.

The timer had now reached 30 seconds and Silver Spoon still hasn't found the right key. With time running out she just grabbed a random key and shoved it into the hole but this was a bad idea since the key got stuck in the keyhole and she couldn't get it out.

3..2..1

Once the timer hit zero all the acid from the jug abover the earth pony poured out and into the glass cube Silver Spoon's face got badly burned when the acid poured in and died after the acid filled up the glass cube melting her face off. The acid was so powerful in fact, that her skull disintegrated causing her body to be disconnected from the glass cube falling to the floor pouring the acid onto the floor and her body.

Button Mash had been exhausted from his gaming session it felt like somepony had druged him, when he looked around he realized he wasn't in his normal environment he was in a abandoned computer lab which he recognized as the one from Ponyville Schoolhouse he was strapped down to a computer chair with wires ''Hello Anypony?'' Button said struggling against his restrains.

His surroundings were strange there was a joystick controller with 2 buttons one red one blue, with razor wires surronding, and wires connecting to other things. On his right there was a boxing glove on a mechanical arm and on his left was a nail gun with a string around the trigger. Below his hooves were mouse traps and above him were 2 TVs connected to mechincal arms.

What Button didn't notice was a working computer in front of him which activated showing Stichy with a video game controller in his hooves ''Hello Button Mash i wanna play a game, you may not remember who i am but i certainly remember who you are. So far in your so call life you've wasted it playing videos games this habit had even made it into you gorwn up life. You also seem to have trouble separating the fantasy world of video games with real life yet again another habit that made it into your grown up life.''

''In order to pass this game you must peform a cheat code each diffrent cheat code will activate something but only one can let you escape. Too get the correct cheat code you must follow your heart live or die make your choice.'' Stichy said before a game over appeared on the screen and then the TV shut off.

''Alright Button he said follow your heart'' Button thought carefully maneuvering a hoof through the barb wire and putting on the joystick only to start yanking it in multiple directions and pressing the buttons getting multiple cuts on his hooves.

All of a sudden the string on the nail gun trigger was pulled shooting multiple nails into Button's face even on getting in his eye causing blood to come out.

Yanking the joystick in every direction possible and spamming the buttons wasn't a good idea since the boxing glove hit him hard in the chest breaking his rib cage and the mouse trap on his hooves activated and crushed blood to explode out from his hooves.

''This isn't gonna work'' Button muttered out due to his injuries before the 2 TVs swung down and hit his head cracking his skull and leding to blood flowing down his face, causing him to collapse onto the barb wire getting a few cuts on his muzzle.

The last thing Buttons saw was graffiti on a wall showing hearts in diffrent directions and red and blue button in a pattern before he died.

Snails woke up when looking around he found out he was in a classroom which he recognized as one in Ponyville Schoolhouse. He then noticed that he was tied to a pink pillar similar to that gum situation him and his friend Snails were in once.

But more importantly he wasn't tied to the pink pillar with rope but with chains and there was also eight spikes that impaled him through his body "What the AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'' Snails freaked out thrashing around. Snips woke up finding himself in the same position as his friend ''HELP!'' he yelled out

''Snips is that you?'' Snails asked realizing that they were both on either side of the pink pillar the same eight spikes impaled through their bodies.

Snails pressed a remote with a single red button on it which activated a TV sitting on a desk in the middle of the pink pillar and Stichy holding scissors in one hoof and a snail in other appeared.

''Hello Snips and Snails i wanna play a game you two may not who i am but it definitely remember who you two are. I remember the stupid shenanigans you two got yourself into one notable one being gum situation. Lets see how you two handle a life or death situation. Stichy said

''Snails the eight spikes are impaled through non lethal areas in your body and it's up to you to pull them out. But this come with a price to pay the eight spikes are also impaled through Snips but through lethal areas in his body and he'll bleed out if you pull all the spikes out Snip's life is in your hooves.'' Stichy explained

''I've gave clues to a pony that will lead them here but it'll take them a long time to figure it out so you can either wait for help or save yourself the choice is yours.'' Stichy explained before he used the scissors to cut the snail's shell and then the TV shut off.

''GET ME OUT OF HERE!'' Snips yelled thrashing around, Snails not wanting to be in this position he decided to start pulling out one of the spike the one in his chest ''SNAILS WHAT ARE YOU DOING LETS WAIT FOR HELP!'' Snips yelled grabbing onto the spike Snails was trying to pull out trying to stop him.

Snails was sucessfully able to pull out the first spike causing blood to start shooting out of Snip's neck. Snips had an idea he pulled out a spike in his chest and muster enough force to stab Snails in the neck puncturing a major blood vessel causing blood to shoot out and causing him to pass out from blood loss.

Snips then pulled out the spike in his neck this was a bad idea causing blood started to rapidly flow out which was basically game over for him as he passed out from blood loss.

By the time the other pony figured out Hacksaw's puzzle and got to the abandoned Ponyville Schoolhouse both had already died from blood loss

A lightbulb turned on which was basically the only source of light in the entire room besides a staticky TV. Pipsqueak or Pip woke up sitting in a chair when he looked around he recognized a poster as one in Ponyville Schoolhouse realizing he was in the jantior's closet with most of the supplies taken out of the room.

His front hooves were tied behind his back with barb wire. Once breaking out of them giving his front hooves cuts he noticed a string tied to his left hoof and a razor shaped like a hook above the hoof with the string when he tried to take a closer look at the string the fish hook razor dug into his flesh a little causing him to put his left hoof down.

Pip dragged a small mirror over to his face he noticed stitch mark on his left lower eyelid but more importantly there was a device that looked like a mask with small capsules filled with a green liquid one side in front of him the other side in the behind him ''HELP ANYONE HELP!" Pip yelled out realizing the bad situation he's in.

A TV sitting on a box turned on and Stichy with a eyepatch and pirate gun showed up on the screen facing the wrong direction before slowly turning towards the camera

''Hello Pip i wanna play a game you may not know or remember who i was but i certainly remember and know who you are. I remember how you used to play hooky a lot avoiding school this is a habit that made it into your grown up life you manage to make it 10 times worse by faking a illness to get out of work and scam your health insurance providers out of their money.'' Stichy explained

''In 60 seconds The Death Mask will close and the capsules will smash open releasing hydrofluoric acid that will melt your face off think of it as a Venus Fly Trap all you have to do is insert the key in the lock but the fish hook razor will dig into your flesh, be careful cause it could cut one of your arteries live or die make your choice.'' Stichy concluded before firing the pirate gun before the TV shut off.

Pip freaked out throwing the chair aside and jerking his head which ended up pulling and releasing a metal wire that activated a ticking timer on The Death Mask/Venus Fly Trap causing him to start panicking

''I'm not fucking dieing'' Pip said through gritted teeth as raised his left hoof with the key tied to it as the fish hook razor dug into his flesh. Trying to ignore the pain as much as possible he almost reached the keyhole withdrawling after blood started coming out of his left hoof.

He tried again but he didn't get as far as the first time due to his bloody wound. The fish hook razor ended up cutting a artery causing a huge amount of blood to start pouring "FUCK SOMEPONY HELP ME!'' Pip yelled giving up on the task and trying to cover up his wound.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!'' he repeated before the Venus Fly Trap closed smashing open the capsules causing the hydrofluoric acid to melt his face blood mixing with the leftover acid and even causing his left eye to pop out the it's socket and through the eyehole of the Death Mask

A Swarm of Royal Guards raided the Abandoned Ponyville Schoolhouse and found the bodies or remains of the other test subjects all accompied by a hacksaw with a note attached to it. Silver Spoon's hacksaw simply said Blank Flank on it, Button's said Game Over, Snips And Snail's said Bubble Gum Fail and Pip's said Playing Hooky.

When a team of Royal Guards led by Jigsaw raided one classroom they found remains of a pony which were undefinable the only thing they could tell from the remains is that the pony was purple and maybe a earth pony.

As for the classroom itself it looked like a bomb went off cause all the furniture in the room was destroyed bits and parts of them scattered around the floor. Even though the windows were boarded up Royal Guards still found glass shards scattered around the room.

''We might have to get a DNA sample to identify this one.'' Jigsaw told the other Royal Guards as he examined the remains. There was 6 big chains hanging from the ceiling with skin on them and smaller fishhooks with what looked like teeth on them and finally there was a hacksaw that said Break the chains to get to freedom

When this game started the pony in this trap was Miss Cheerilee she woke up with fish hooks in her mouth, 4 chains under her hooves and 2 chains through the skin of her eyelids. She tried to yell but it seemed to get muffled by the multiple fish hooks through her teeth.

Cheerilee recognized the classroom as the one she used to teach in and spotted a jar on her desk which had something that looked like a bomb tied to it and a apple tied right next to it and inside the jar seem to be glass shards. She started panicking and hyperventilating looking around tugging on the chains trying to find where the chains came out of.

A TV sitting on a random desk near her turned on and Stichy balancing a apple in one hoof

''Hello Miss Cheerilee i wanna play a game, you may not remember me, but i remember you. This game will take place in the exact room you used to teach in and not much bigger than the room you spent your life multiple times in very briefly a prison cell.

''You've been convicted multiple times of touching foals but only given a very light sentence each time for being a mare well guess what i believe in gender equality.''

''Despite all the advantages you were given at birth, and the many chances you had to redeem yourself you've returned to prison again and again very briefly. You're more comfortable in chains than in freedom so today lets see how far you'll go to break those chains Live Or Die Cheerilee make your choice.''

Cheerilee first went for the chains under her hooves that were the easiest to remove simply leaving a layer of skin. She noticed that the glass shard bomb had a timer counting down from 2 minutes. She then moved onto the closed fish hooks in her mouth ''Here it goes'' she said muffled yanking one tooth out.

When she yanked another hook the string broke leaving the hook it self pierced through her tooth, forcing her to pull on the hook being able to pull it out. ''Gotta get a clean yank'' she said slightly muffled gripping another string before yanking it. Once all 10 teeth had been yanked out she reached the chains pierced through the skin of her eyelids.

''How the fuck am i suppose to pull these out?'' Cheerilee said gripping one before realizing 10 seconds were left on the timer before the glass shard bomb went off. ''HERE IT GOES!" she yelled before yanking them both out as the timer reached 0 setting the bomb off.

A explosion of glass shards going into her eyes before another actual explosion happend killing her tearing her apart into huge chunks and destroying all the furniture in the classroom.

Author's Note

Don't think i'm gonna write another chapter EVEN CLOSE to this one

The way Snips And Snails manage to fail their test is based on a method for the person with lethal areas to beat this trap to stab the other person

Saw 4 How To Beat

The Venus Fly Trap is a combination of the final and early version of the Death Mask from Saw 2 the final with the test subject being able to roam around and early version with the key in one hoof and whenever trying to use it gets a razor stabbed in their flesh

This version of The Classroom Trap was based on a early concept of Saw 3's Classroom trap with the chains going through the victims eyelids teeth and fingernails with the fingernails being replaced with skin under the hooves in my version.
