"The newspapers started calling him The Hacksaw killer well technically he's not really a murderer. He never killed any pony he finds ways for his victims to kill themselves" Dr Chemical explained

Starlight Glimmer, another Pony Inc factory worker woke up in a room, she found it very hard to get up and once she did saw that the room had very dim lighting in it and the main source of light being a small candle sitting on top of a safe. "Hello any pony here?" Starlight called out.

When Starlight looked down at her hooves she noticed that they were coated in something cause it looked like sweat but at the same time looked something like clear gel. The unicorn also found a tape player on top of the safe and pressed play in hopes of getting more information on what's going on.

On the tape was the same deep demonic voice "Hello Starlight i wanna play a game, if you're so sick and out of energy why do i have all these pictures of you perfectly healthy" dim lights in the room turned on revealing pictures of the unicorn in her expensive house and even using a spell on herself.

"Ever since one of your fellow co-workers got a promotion you've decided to find a new way to get rich by lying to Pony Inc that you're sick. You even went as far as to perform a spell on yourself that removes your cutie mark which also drains your energy and makes your sickness authentic so lets put your so call sickness to the test. I've injected you with a slow acting poison into your veins, the antidote is inside the safe and the code is written on the wall. And by the way that stuff on your body is Flammable Jelly so watch you step with that candle. Lets see if all the ponies you've burned with your lies will finally get their revenge live or die make your choice." the deep demonic voice concluded

"HELLLLP!" Starlight yelled front hooves grabbing onto the safe "HELLLP SOME PONY!" she yelled again looking around the room. The unicorn then tried to use a teleportation spell only to get shocked "HELLP!" she called out one last time, before resorting to the task she was given. She then tried to use her telekinesis on the small candle to pick it up and surprisingly it worked.

Starlight turned the dial on the safe before getting up but when she stepped forward she felt her front hooves get stabbed the something and when she looked down she found crystal shards scattered all over the floor "How did i not fucking see that" she angrily said, the unicorn carefully tipped hoofed over to the wall of numbers careful not to step on anymore crystal and started reading the many different codes.

She did the same thing over and over again she read a code written on the wall and then tried it on the safe each code failing. When she was on her 5th code she placed the small candle down to take a breather front hooves ontop of the safe, when she looked around to see how many codes were left to try, she flicked her mane which touched the candle and caught on fire.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD AHHHH!" she yelled freaking out, bad idea cause her flaming mane touched her head which set it on fire and it quickly spread to her Flammable Jelly coated body. She ran around the room a little before collapsing onto the floor burnt to a crisp.

Starlight's body was found with a hacksaw lodged in her flank alongside Pony Joe's body except in a different room. "Hey guys i found something else" Twilight said before walking over to the number code wall. "Look a peephole a pony must've been looking through here, looks like Hacksaw likes to book himself a front row seat to his own games" the unicorn explained doing a air quote with one of her front hooves.

"He was there at the last one but i found his penlight in this room." Twilight said showing Rising Hope the penlight, when the Royal Guard observed it he concluded "Get a rush on the prints, compare the hoofprints to another suspect" Hope requested "Copy That" responded Twilight

Flashback

"Alright everypony this patient has a inoperable frontal lobe tumor which extends across the midline which started his colon cancer if you want me to simplify that i'm basically saying he has a frontal lobe tumor across his midline that can't be operated on suitably." Dr Chemical Beaker The Alicorn of Health explained to the other doctors in the room.

"The patient has come in for a standard check up, in which we can monitor the rate of his condition to see if it's declining even by a little. The patient had-"

"His name is Radio Shack'' Nurse Redheart interrupted "Dr Chemical he's a pretty interesting unicorn" Redheart explained. The alicorn paused for a moment before he responded "Thank you for that information Redheart, as you can see our nurses and orderlies form bonds with the patients." Dr Chemical explained to the other ponies.

"Now continuing on this patient had-'' before the alicorn of health could continue he was called over to a office "Welp looks like i'm needed somewhere, you carry on" the doctor said handing one of the stallion doctors his clipboard. Once he got to the office he was greeted by a Royal Crystal Guard "Dr Chemical Beaker nice to meet you i'm Rising Hope former Royal Crystal Guard but now active one."

"I'm Detective Violet Blossom were both detectives from Manehattan but since Hope used to be a Royal Guard he decided to become one again when we were called back to The Crystal Empire and Canterlot" Violet explained to the doctor. Hope looked at the doctor's many degrees "Wow Dr Chemical very impressive and it's even more impressive how Princess Celestia decided to make you a alicorn." Hope complimented the doctor.

"So what is this whole thing about?" the Chemical asked, "Sorry to interrupt your work doc" Hope told the doctor "It's fine how can i help you 2?" the alicorn responded "Where were you between 11pm and 1am last night doc?" Violet asked. "Why are you interested?" the doctor countered "We wanna ask you about this, is it your doc?" Hope asked showing Dr Chemical his penlight in an evidence bag.

Now at the Crystal Empire Law Enforcement Station Dr Chemical was explaining his alibi to his lawyer "Wait so you're telling me you have no idea how your penlight ended up at the murder scene?" asked Count Caesar who was Dr Chemical's lawyer.

"Of course not Caesar" the alicorn lashed out "Well if you have no idea, then what were you doing last night?" the earth pony countered "I was seeing someone and before you ask no it wasn't a patient" the doctor explained

"Alright doc with you giving me you alibi out of the way as your lawyer and friend i suggest you give them your alibi now or else they won't believe you or get off your back" Caesar suggested to his client

*** Now in the present and in the bathroom

Chemical was talking about this flashback "That was a few months ago he tried to set me up for murder." he explained

*** Back in the flashback

Violet entered the interrogation room Chemical was in "Welp Dr Chemical Beaker we both checked your alibi and it holds up?" she informed the alicorn "Great can i go home now?" the health alicorn asked in a slightly annoyed tone

"Actually we manage to find some pony who survived one of Hacksaw's games, and interesting enough is that she was right under our muzzles it's actually some pony you know." the unicorn explained to Chemical "Sure since it is some pony i know."

"Alright Cadance tell me what happened in detail, as in i want to hear it from you in your words from the beginning." Chemical told Cadance "Okay it was the end of the day and a Royal Guard informed me about something."

Another Flashback

"Your majesty"A Crystal Royal Guard said getting the attention of the Alicorn "5 ponies were killed by another unidentified creature all we really know is that it wasn't a pony" the Royal Guard explained "Well are the bodies still in tact, any more clues on what or who the creature could?" the princess of love asked "Wait a second you usually care more about than the bodies and information on the killer, i mean you're the princess of love you support every kind of love." The Crystal Guard countered

Things had been hard for Cadance for the last couple of years mainly due to the death of both Shining Armor and Flurry Heart so this statement completely broke her "Well maybe living's overrated!" the alicorn lashed out her voice breaking a little. This gave the guard a hint and he decided to back off leaving the throne room.

Cadance not wanting to be reminded of the deaths of her loved ones decided to just get to bed. She got up from her throne and turned off the lights in the throne room before walking over to an elevator, pressing the button and waiting on it. All of a sudden out of nowhere a glove covered hoof tapped the back of her head. "What do you wan-" as soon as the Alicorn Of Love turned around she was smacked in the head with a metal pipe knocking her out.

***

"Remember anything after that?" Chemical asked the princess

"After that nothing, didn't remember anything, anypony. Next thing i knew i was in a death trap and forced to kill somepony. "Cadance explained

***

When the princess of love woke up she found herself strapped down to a chair with what looked like tape and she had a strange device on her head. When she tried to cast a spell she received an electric shock, she looked around and found herself in this large abandoned looking dark room. Cadance freaked out and started trying to break free of her restraints, after a while of struggling against her restraints a TV turned on causing her to jerk her head towards it.

On the TV screen appeared a picture of a plush tag saying Stichy before it moved over to a black unicorn voodoo doll with a red mane about the size of a filly "Hello, Princess Cadance I want to play a game, you don't know me, but I know you. Here's what happens if you lose my game." Stichy said in a deep demonic voice before the camera moved to a pony mannequin head with the same device on its head.

"The device you're wearing is hooked into your upper and lower jaws. When the timer at the back goes off, your mouth will be permanently ripped open. Think of it like a Reverse Bear Trap. Here, I'll show you." Stichy stated before the camera focused back onto the mannequin head. Cadance heard a ticking timer before it stopped, then suddenly the Reverse Bear Trap's mouth part opened, completely destroying the foam pony head leaving nothing but tiny bits of it.

Once that was over the camera moved a third time back to Stichy "There is only one key to open the device, it's in the stomach of your dead cellmate, look around Cadance so you know that I'm not lying. Better hurry up, Live or die, make your choice." Stichy explained before the TV cut to static and shut off

The Princess Of Love resumed trying to break free of her restraints. And once she did a metal wire tied to The Reverse Bear Trap got pulled and released which started up a ticking timer the same on Cadance heard in Stichy's video message. She immediately took notice and tried to pull the Reverse Bear Trap off her head.

After a while of struggling which wasted a lot of time. Cadance eventually resorted to finding her dead cellmate, she then spotted a yellow mare pegasus with a pink mane laying on the floor not too far away from the chair she started at. The alicorn found a knife and slowly raised it into the air.

The pegasus suddenly opened her eyes revealing that she wasn't dead "What are you-" she said in a very faint whisper only to be stabbed in the chest. After a few stabs Cadance used her hooves to spread the cut and dig through her cellmate's insides she ripped open her rib cage and dug through her organs her heart lungs etc before finding her stomach and cutting it open and finding the key.

She unlocked the Reverse Bear Trap and threw it off her head right before it activated, the mouth part opening.

Fluttershy, an animal care taker who was tested for neglecting some animals letting them die and even killing animals with a non serious disease and was now a part of Cadance's test. Fluttershy's original test was to dig through beehives and piles of animal organs to find a key to free herself from the room under 2 minutes or else toxic gas will fil the room killing her.

Unfortunately she failed after ripping apart the beehives which led to a swarm of bees attacking her. She didn't die from this and instead was forced to swallow a key and be a part of some other pony's test which ended up being Princess Cadance's.

The alicorn once getting the Reverse Bear Trap off her head she started slowly sobbing before she saw and heard a light turn on which made her go silent. All the pink alicorn could see at first was a shadow on the wall of a colt grabbing onto a scooter handlebar. She was about to call out to the colt before she heard a creaking noise and saw the shadow moving making her go silent again.

As the colt figure moved closer to her, Cadance could start seeing it a lot more clearer. Once the figure came out from the shadows and into the dim light she saw that it was Stichy the doll from the video message this time riding a scooter. "Congratulations you survived. Some ponies are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you not anymore."

"Wait so he tested you" the alicorn of health said making air quotes with both front hooves "Because you weren't grateful to be alive?"

"It was something like that" Cadance corrected him "He helped me" the princess concluded

*** Now in present day back in the rusty dirty abandoned bathroom

Sea Swirl started questioning Dr Chemical Beaker's story "Are you sure it's him?" the unicorn she asked the doctor "Yeah i'm sure" he responded "But how do i know you're telling the truth? You could be the one who put me in this room?" she argued "I'm exactly in the same situation you're in" Chemical responded.

"No wrong WRONG!" the unicorn lashed out yanking her chain with the hoof it was wrapped around. "You have one thing i don't it's information you know who did this you're probably in on this and making yourself look like a victim so you can frame somepony else." she countered before picking up the shard of glass.

"Either tell me what's really going on here or i'll throw this at you so hard it might cut you, i repeat it might cu.." before she could complete her sentence she noticed that there was 2 sides to that piece of glass. "A 2 way mirror" she informed her cellmate before chucking the pipe from earlier with cracked it and then breaking it with the shard, which revealed a camera in the medicine cabinet.

Little did they both know that on the other side of the camera a mystery creature was watching them on a TV screen "I can see you" the creature stated in disguised voice. "What is this reality TV is that what this is?" Sea Swirl asked jokingly "Don't look at me i can't help you" the mystery creature said from the other side of the camera.

Sea Swirl kept going with her sarcastic rant "Can you hear me in there? I'm having a blast, this is the most fun I've had without whip cream. Make sure you're getting everything." she said all the while throwing small chunks of rust at the medicine cabinet. "That's not gonna do anything" Dr Chemical reminded his cellmate. "What you want to leave it with it spying on us." she countered.

"You would stop that, that's why we can't cut through these chains or why you won't break the glass. Every angle where we can cheat has already been patched out by him we'll have to beat this the intended way." he informed her "You're making it sound like you support this bastard" she responded "What part of that sound like i was supporting him, what i'm trying to say is that to overcome something you must understand a perfect engine, it's how you fight disease." he explained to his cellmate.

''Now, the tape told us to find a X, it has to be somewhere in this dirty rusty bathroom, help me find it" Chemical asked Swirl "How come you're the calm one in this situation, when your wife and colt are out there? He has them too and could be doing anything to them right now thinking about that?" Swirl brought up "I am thinking about that" he lashed out

After a long silence between the two Beaker finally spoke up "Been thinking about the last thing i said to my colt"

Yet Another Flashback

Hazardous Chemical was in bed still wide awake, he knew there was something wrong with his atmosphere so he got up and out of the covers, sat at the side of his bed and stared at the darkness where the wind chimes were. There was still some light downstairs so he decided to go to his mom's room to talk to her.

Hazardous Chemical

''Chemical are you OK, can you hear me?'' asked Chemistry Heart his mom "Mom i think there's a mare in my room'' he explained to his mom "Are you sure she wasn't in your imagination?" Heart asked him "She talked to me" Hazardous stated

"Alright i'll go check your room" she said, "I want dad to check it he'll get the scary mare'' he requested "Alright since you asked come on."

They both went over to Dr. Chemical who was doing medical paper work "Beaker sorry to bother you but Chemical had a bad dream again he wants you to check his room" Heart explained to her husband "Hold on just a minute, just go to finish this paragraph." he responded before dunking the quill into the ink. After a couple seconds of waiting, Chemical and Heart were just about to leave before, Beaker finally put his quill down "Nope i'm done" he said putting the paper on the stack.

***

After checking his colt's room, Beaker turned on the lamp "See there's no pony in your room, the scary mare doesn't exist, now can you go to sleep?" he asked his colt. Before Chemical could respond Beaker's phone went off "i hate that thing" the colt commented, "Looks like it's time to go to work you know what my job is like, try to get some sleep Chemical?" Beaker told him before kissing him on the forehead "Good night" he said before turning off the lights and leaving his colt's
room closing the door.

*** Back in the present in the bathroom

Dr. Chemical was explaining this story to his cellmate, before throwing his wallet across the room landing near Swirl "This is beautiful" she exclaimed looking at the first 2 pictures of Hazardous Chemical "Thank you" he said with a nod "Thought about having more foals?" she asked him "We've talked about it, but it's pretty hard focusing on just one, don't have any plans yet" he explained "Where's your wife?" she asked.

"Behind the one you're looking at, it's my favorite" Chemical responded, When Swirl pulled out the picture her cellmate was talking about he found a picture of his wife and colt gagged and when she flipped it over she found a clue that said X marks the spot, sometimes you see more with your eyes closed

"Uh the photo you're talking about isn't here" she lied to her cellmate getting a confused look from him "Um are you sure?" the alicorn asked with another confused look, before Swirl threw the wallet back to him hiding the picture with the clue from the alicorn while he was looking through his wallet for that picture.

*** Back In The Flashback

Once downstairs his wife came up to him and asked him out of the blue "How can you just walk through life in this relationship pretending to be happy?" she asked him in an annoyed tone "I am happy" Beaker replied "I'd rather have you break down and rant that you hated me, at least there would be some passion in it" Heart countered. He then gave his wife a slightly angered tone before responding "You know let's just discuss this tomorrow alright" The Alicorn Of Health before leaving out the door

Hazardous Chemical was still trying to get some sleep like his father told him before his closet door creaked open causing him to get up and look at the closet and hearing a disguised voice say "Good night little colt" before a mystery mare brust out the closet, causing Chemical to let out a scream altering his mom.

Once Chemistry Heart got to her colt's room she found the mystery mare covered in a blanket attacking Chemical "CHEMICAL" she yelled before charging at the mystery mare.

Author's Note

The scene where Cadance disembowels Fluttershy is the only reason why the Gore tag is here the rest of this story is just blood

In this alternate universe alicorns aren't exactly immortal that's only half true they won't die of age or die from starvation and or dehydration but they can die from serious injuries like getting there jaw permanently ripped open or damage to their arteries

And if you want to argue if they can't die of starvation or dehydration why did Hacksaw say he would leave Dr Chemical there to rot? Well that's because this rule can be broken by a certain spell which the bathroom is coated in
