Everfree Knockout

I needed to pick them off one by one to increase the chances of me losing them in the forest. Cowgirl pulls out a rope out of nowhere and tries to lasso me. Now I refuse to lose so easily and so quickly at my own game. So I let her lasso me up and just when she starts to pull me in I fall backwards sending her flying towards me. It was quite hilarious seeing her fly towards me flailing her hooves the entire time. As she flies towards me I bend my knees back, and as my back hits the ground she almost to me so I kick out my feet and grab her flailing fore hooves and push her over me and directly into a tree. She hit the tree with a loud “Thump”. I kick back onto my feet and untangle myself from the ropes and threw it on my back to loosely hang on my bow. I couched down on all fours. The others were getting near and they all seemed concerned for Cowgirl all except Skittles who was visible pissed at me. She was coming at me fast and left behind the others who were further behind then her.

I jumped suddenly into the trees and used them as a safety net to assure she couldn’t follow me. She proved me wrong as she joined me up in the trees more slowly; dodging many of the flinging branches swinging back as I forcefully made me way through them. I stopped for a minute grabbing a branch pulling it back allowing it to build up maximum tension. Skittles saw a window to catch and picked up speed eager to make me pay for what I did to her friend. “Get back here you’ll pay for what you did to AJ,” she said. ‘Hmmm so that’s her name interesting.’ Just as she was about to get me I casually let go of the branch and smirk. She saw the incoming branch and she tried to slow down to avoid impact but she was going too fast and impacted the branch with amazing force as a loud “THWACK!” was heard. I saw her fly back into other branches softening her landing with the tree but not by much as a “Thump” could be heard.

‘Well then two for me zero for the dumb ponies.’ Clearly more cheerful I made an obvious trek so that the others could still follow me. I reached behind me and grabbed the rope on my bow and gripped it firmly in my hand. The rope was amazingly long. I stopped my visible trail and shifted quietly onto a nearby tree. Just as quietly I landed onto the ground and saw the approaching mares look up trying to find me in the trees. “Where is he? He was just here a moment ago.” A visible concerned Twilight said. I approached them unbeknownst to them from behind and just as I was going to bind up Jumpy a noise interrupted me. “Watch out behind you Pinkie!” I glanced behind me to see AJ and Skittles were back up and trudging after them. Before any of them could react I swept my leg in a long arch underneath them and my hand quickly grabbed the back of Pinkie’s neck and squeezed gently but hard enough to hit the nerve and knock her unconscious and with quick succession I hogtied her up with AJ’s rope. I jumped away just barely avoiding a blast from Twilight and gazed into her determined eyes. Her horn lit up again but before she could do anything my palm was striking below her mouth sending her rocketing in the air to land a few feet away. “Twilight!” they all shouted.

I jumped back into the trees leading the rest of sore party into the many traps I had laid out for them. I noticed that the one called Fluttershy stayed with Pinkie. It was fine by me less to deal with after all and if they were separated the more easily it would be to take them down. It then occurred to me that I had no plan other than to hurt them and discourage them from trying to chase me. I was unused to these types of situations. Normally I would kill them and just let it be after that choosing to eat them if they were edible. However these mares would be noticed if they went missing and I would feel guilty about killing them. They thought and spoke much like I could. In a way it would be killing another human. A part of me knew that they would only give me trouble and would not let this go. If they went home at all empty handed they would only come back with more ponies to try to subdue me.

For once I was unsure of how to act beyond my basic fight or flight instincts. With a grimace on my face I decided that I’d let them catch me today but not without having some fun on my end of beating them up. I’m rather dark and twisted but I acknowledge that it was a flaw that had kept me alive this far. So it must be good for something I reasoned within myself, finalizing my internal thoughts. I looked around to see where I was in my territory and smiled. The trees were marked by visible cuts in the branch made by a sword of sorts. The mark they made was a shape of a J one that I deemed fit to mark as my territorial mark. I turned around to see some of my traps go off.

The net perfectly ensnared Stylist and Twilight together, just as the net pulls them up their heads hit dazing them. I pull out my bow and arm a wooden arrow without a shaft and arm it. I pull it back just enough to knock out an average human. Turns out the same applies to ponies as well as I let go and saw Twilight slump unconsciously in the net next to Stylist. I give out my victory shout that would make Chewbacca proud. I allow a moment too much to savor my sweet impending victory, but alas luck is never on my side. Jumpy manages to jump all the way to my top branch she opens her mouth to say something but I don’t give her the chance. With all the speed of a puma I shot out my hand in a downward chop and hit her with enough force to knock out a Timber wolf. To my surprise she just bounces back up. “Well that wasn’t very nice Mr. Monkey hitting people-“she was cut off by my foot kicking her back down. Of course defying all things possible she just came right back up. “Hey that was very rude of you Mr. Monkey, anyway as I was about to say before you hit me. Hi I’m Pinkie Pie and I want to throw you a-“That was all she got out before I kicked her away from me this time making sure she got as far away from me as possible.

As I started to move back to spot who else was around I couldn’t find anyone. Even Twilight and Rarity had escaped my trap then I sensed my error. I let myself get carried away. I abruptly jumped back to avoid the telekinetic grip of Twilight by mere seconds. “Get him Rainbow!” I turned around only to see a cyan coat right in my face tackle me to the ground. The trip down was short but felt like an eternity. Just to get back at Rainbow I kneed her in the get loosening her grip on me enough to rip her out in front of me at the last second and she took the full force of the fall and I used her body to jump off and jump back right into the circle of mares surrounding me.

I looked all around me to find an opening of some kind but rainbow was back up and the six mares were encircling me like a pack of wolves. Except they weren’t swiping at me and they weren’t trying to eat me. Twilight this time successfully picked me up with her telekinesis. “Twilight it’s scared I don’t think using magic on it is a good thing. If you don’t mind that is.” Fluttershy stuttered. She was right I was struggling against her grip and she was barely keeping me afloat and still. I roared at being constrained and it was enough to break Twilight’s concentration to ungraciously drop me on the ground.
I rolled on the floor and quickly found my footing. I saw Twilight charging up another spell but I didn’t give her time as pounced on her and drove me into the back of her neck finding the nerve and hitting it with precision and speed. She slumped in my arms unconscious. The others thought I had killed her. “Twilight no!” they screamed. I tossed her off of me into Fluttershy, only to get hoofed in the mouth by Rainbow. I glared her down unfazed at her pathetic attempt. I saw Cowgirl running up to me and managed to step back just as she attempted to buck me only to grab her hind legs and yank her off the ground. Then I grabbed her midsection and did what I saw in wrestling shows so many times. I supplexed her right into the ground with a frightening crack. I dropped her to the ground and swept my leg across the ground sluggishly. Dazed from the supplex I surprisingly still stood fine albeit sluggishly and slow though. ‘Man that hurt like a bitch and she took the full blow of it’ I thought as everyone except Cowgirl and Rainbow tried to get back up. Rainbow took a couple more swings at me in my dazed state and I swung wildly in an attempt to get her

My punches were wide and she was to fast as she easily swung by them with ease. Then suddenly I felt my legs being kicked beneath me and saw that Stylist had bucked my legs out of nowhere. Then Pinkie pulled out a cannon from behind her. I shit you not I thought I was hallucinating and going crazy. She blasts me with confetti and such and I get was latterly torn off my feet with the force of the blow and landed on my ass a couple feet away from them. “Pinkie where ever did you pull out that cannon dear?” Stylist asked her. “Silly Rarity I always have my party cannon with me in case somepony ever needs a party in a jiffy.” Pinkie answered her. I groaned loudly and they were shocked that I still rose from the cannon blow. My eyes suddenly lost their glow about them and were engulfed in a red glow. I crouched down to all fours and ran at them. They were startled and fell back on their haunches. Rainbow recovered quickly enough to fly in my way to stop me. I swatted her aside like a fly and she flew into a nearby tree. I then pounced on Rarity on started to pummel. Punch after punch landed on her. Her resistance to give up only fueled the rage coursing through my veins.

Twilight blasted me back but I was unfazed, if anything I was getting more pissed off. With breakneck speed I was at her side and picked her up by the throat before any of the others could react. I slammed her into the ground with such force that a resounding crack could be heard over the crash of her being slammed into the ground. Eager to instill pain and fear into the ponies I grabbed the nearest mare, which was coincidentally Rainbow. I grabbed her by her leg as she tried to escape my clutch to no avail. I swung her into the nearest tree and punched her straight through it. I jumped through straight for her and twisted my body to where I was behind her in the air. I hugged her tightly and I preformed another supplex this time on her. This one was much worst then the first one I did. I somehow in my rage forgot how small ponies are so instead of her head being into the ground in a bloody mush it was my head that was on that had hit the ground first. The mere force of the supplex created a huge indenture where we were. Twilight passed out from the force of the supplex while blood ran freely from my head. I stood adrenaline pumping me my action. The blood mixed in with my eyes obscuring my view but what happened next would make me cringe now even thinking of it.

Fluttershy had approached me and yelled at me. “No more! No more hurting my friends! You will stop NOW!” With those words came a stare. I didn’t get it at first so I stared back. When I looked into those eyes, I saw every impure, evil wrong thing I had done. My mind raced as I relived every horrible thing I had done and it seemed that now each one seemed more horrible then when I had done them. The animals I killed, the mares I hurt, my death. Everything within me shook with a violent shudder that I was a terrible person and there was no redemption for the sins I had committed.

I broke down right there after looking hard into her eyes. I screamed out in agony at the mental pain that I was experiencing. The more I tried to forget them the more they appeared worse in my mind. Tears streamed from my eyes mixing in with the blood. I tried to reason with the mental battle within me trying to erase it win over it, anything to make the pain stop. All if it was futile. I rolled on the ground in pain screaming and wailing praying for god to help me. If there was he was not there with me in those thoughts and the pain I felt all of it consumed my being and soon I stopped moving. I breathed ever so slowly now and barely felt anything but unworthy of any pity. I blacked out there in extreme anguish and pain feeling as if my soul had been ripped out of my body and ripped into shreds. I felt nothing; no I felt less than nothing. I felt the cruel clasping hands of death hovering ever so slightly, content to see me suffer and unwilling to take me. How I survived such a thing I still wonder.
