Who I Amby Slingshot619ChaptersChapter 3: New LifeChapter 4: FriendsChapter 5: RegretChapter 6: AlertChapter 7: InsanityChapter 1: ExperimentsChapter 2: EscapeChapter 3: New LifeAs I sped off, I couldn't help but take one more glance back at the lab that once kept me, I wasn't sure where I was going though. In a matter of seconds, I had landed on a cloud overlooking a small town. I watched it's inhabitants roam freely as I watched them with intent. They went on with their daily lives, unaware of the danger they were in. I heard a voice in my head, a sinister cold voice. Hello "Um, hello?" I'm your killer instincts! I'm hear to help you make decisions! "WHAT?" Your first decision is to KILL "What the fuck? Why are you here?" You see, you were made to kill. And so they put me here! To make sure you killed whether you wanted to or not. I tried to gather my composure while I heard the voice give out a sinister laugh. Why would I want to kill them? I came here to start a new life, not murder everything I saw. "BOO!" I jumped and almost fell of the cloud, I turned back to see a beautiful cyan blue mare, she had a rainbow mane accompanied by a rainbow tail. I was breathing quite heavily from my shock. "THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" The rainbow pony stopped laughing and a sad look replaced her smile. I calmed myself down and apologized. The smile instantly returned. "I haven't seen you around before. Are you new here?" "I guess." "By the way, what's your name?" I thought about it, what was my name? I didn't know myself. I tried to remember the stupid codename they gave me back at the lab. "Slingshot." "So you need a place to stay?" I thought about it first. The cyan blue pony continued staring at me with her rose red eyes. I needed time to think. Do it! Say yes! It'll be easier to kill them all that way! "Shut up!" The cyan blue pony looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, just kind of tired you know. By the way what's your name?" "Rainbow Dash. The name's Rainbow Dash." "Thanks for trying to help Rainbow Dash, but I don't need a place to stay." I hopped off the cloud and walked away. I didn't look back as I walk down the crowded streets. Why didn't you say yes? "Because i'm not a psychopath." I'll show you what happens when you disobey me. "What- AHHHHH!" I felt immense pain in my head. The voice continued mumbling malicious thoughts. I let out a blood curdling shriek. All the ponies stopped and stared at me. A grey pony with a blond mane approached me, her eyes were derped, I still had that stupid headache. "Sir?" The grey pony asked "BACK OFF!" I snarled She did, and so did everypony else. I got up and ran for my life. I ended up in the forest. I tried to get rid of the voice, but the bastard came back. Did you enjoy my gift? "What did you do?" I have access to 80% of your mind. You have only 20%. I could do a lot of damage if I wanted to. "What do you want?" You know what you want. Go back there and kill everybody. "NO!" You asked for it. Once again the immense throbbing pain came back and I found my self rolling on the ground, my hooves bashing at my head. "I GIVE! I GIVE!" The voice uttered a slight chuckle. It stopped the pain and allowed me to go back to the town. I walked back and explored the town. Along the way, a pink pony spotted me, she leaped in the air gave out a gasp, then dashed off. I continued walking, everypony was staring at me as if I was some sort of monster. I probably was by then. I walked down the streets and found a bakery. It was called "Sugarcube Corner". Dammit monster or not I needed to eat. I stepped in and was greeted by colorful streamers, confetti and various other party things. Argh! I thought I told you to kill! Not party! I shrugged and ate a cupcake, the pink pony that I saw on the road hopped out of nowhere. "Hi my name is Pinkie Pie! You must be new here because i've never seen your face until just now and so I set up a party just for you! By the way, what's your name?" "Slingshot." "Okey Dokey Lokey! Have fun!" Pinkie left me alone as I continued munching on my muffin. Five ponies emerged from the crowd, one of which was Rainbow Dash. The others were complete strangers to me. "Hey there!" Rainbow Dash said "Rainbow, you know this charming colt?" The white unicorn asked "Um, we met just now." I watched as the ponies chatted , finally after about an hour of chat, they introduced themselves. The lavender unicorn was called Twilight Sparkle, the white unicorn was called Rarity, the yellow pegasus was Fluttershy, the orange earth pony was called Applejack. "What's your name?" Twilight asked "Slingshot." Your supposed to be killing them dammit! Do I have to do things myself? I excused myself and left before my instincts could nag at me any longer. Get back in there! "NO! I mean, there's too much ponies around, i'll have to wait 'till nightfall." Ah, smart. I like that. I walked back to the outskirts of the town, trying to reason with the stupid psycho. "I can't just kill them for no reason!" Yes you can. No one's stopping you. "But, I mean, they've never really done anything wrong have they?" So? "How's about this. We'll compromise. If anypony offends you in anyway at all. I'll murder them. Deal?" Fine I breathed a sigh of relief. At least I wasn't going to kill that much now. But I was still going to end up killing them one way or another. I calmed my killer instincts down and headed back into the city to make new friends. I went to the library first. Inside I found Twilight Sparkle studying. She looked up and raised an eyebrow, puzzled that I had come. "You stay in the library?" "Yup. Where are you staying?" "Nowhere." Twilight looked at me with a confused look on her face. "Okay, time to go." I thanked her and was about to leave, but Twilight stopped me before I could. "Are you doing anything tomorrow?" "No, why?" "Well, I think me and my friends should get to know you better, so meet us here at the library afternoon." That didn't sound like much of an invite. It sounded more like a request. I thanked her again and flew off, looking for a place to stay. Chapter 4: FriendsI woke up. It was morning by now. I blinked and stood up. Sleeping on the grass probably wasn't a good idea. I should've just asked for a place to stay. Then, I looked up and saw Rainbow Dash flying to her mansion of a home. It was made of clouds and had rainbows pouring out of it. I looked around and saw tons of other clouds. I took off and got to work on making my new crib. When I was done, It was noon. I still had an hour to spare. I was still quite surprised that my killer instincts hadn't made me try and kill anything yet. I was glad that the psycho had shut up. It was starting to annoy me. But this voice should never be taken lightly. I knew that the bastard could easily jack my body and lay waste to the whole world. I disregarded that thought as I walked towards the library. Twilight had requested me to meet up with her and the gang at the library during noon. I wasn't one to let a mare down, so I went. I entered the library and found the gang chatting and messing around in the library. I went in and immediately the psychopath known as my killer instincts came back. KILL! IT'LL BE FUN! "Shut up!" The pain in my head slowly increased as I kept denying his dirty deeds. Eventually it became unbearable. I screamed and bashed my head into a bookshelf. I ran and bashed my head into the wall of the library, I kept trying to stop the pain but it wouldn't stop. "GODAMMIT SHUT UP!" Having fun? The pain grew even worse, I couldn't give up. I gave one last charge and smashed through the library walls, I heard a sickening *crack* upon impact. I had heavy breathing and I was panting. But at least the pain had stopped. "How you like that?" No reply came. I let out a relieved sigh. The pain was gone. But new pain replaced it. I felt something warm trickle down my face. I ran to the nearest pond and saw that my head had been split open. I could see the flesh inside. I stared at my reflection wide eyed with fear. Suddenly I saw Twilight Sparkle behind me with a bloody knife. "AAHHHH!" I turned to see that the whole gang was there. They had a look of concern on their faces. "Um, that was......Unique" Twilight said "My, my, you need medical attention!" Rarity said They dragged me to the hospital. I didn't want needles and knives stuck into me. But they didn't give me a choice. Soon enough I was in a hospital room ready to get some stitches in my head. The doctor worked while I sat there and crossed my arms. After they patched me up, the doctor gave me a report. "You have a split head and a concussion. Other than that your okay." "How long?" "About a year." I sighed. At least that psychopath couldn't find anymore victims. I looked around, opposite my bed was a pony who had a cast on his leg. He looked at me and sneered. "What're you laughing about?" "I can't believe you were dumb enough to run into a wall. I mean even Ditzy isn't as dumb as you!" I clenched my teeth. I was mad and my killer instincts took this moment of opportunity. Are you going to take bullshit from an idiot like him? "Leave me alone." "Ha! Talking to yourself? Your even more of an idiot than I thought." Now he's really asking for it. C'mon give it to him! "No! No I won't!" THEN I'LL DO IT MYSELF! Then, something weird happened. My body turned to the side and hopped off the bed. The weird part was, I wasn't in control. "What the?" Don't worry, i'll take care of him real good. My arm reached out and grabbed one of the doctor's many knives. It had chosen the sharp, large wicked looking blade. My body slowly walked toward the idiot who had insulted me. He was gradually getting more and more scared, he looked around for help as my right arm raised the blade and advanced ever so closer to the pony. I tried to stop myself but I couldn't. "Stop it!" Sorry but i'm done being your little bitch. From now on i'm your boss. The blade was raised directly above the pony's throat. I managed to take control for a while and mutter a few words. "I'm sorry." The knife was brought down on his neck, blood splattered everywhere. His eyes were wide with fear as he stared at me with pure terror. He tried to scream but more blood squirted out the knife in his neck. My right arm grabbed another knife, this one was bigger that the last. The pony continued looking at the psycho that stood before him. I felt my body twitch once in a while. My arm raised the blade high above and brought it down on the pony's stomach. If the blade had been any faster it would've cut him in half. Guts and intestines poured out of his body, as tears poured out his eyes. My left hand reached out and grabbed the intestines and pulled them straight out oh his body. He tried to scream again but more blood sputtered out instead. I think his precious little head will make an excellent souvenir My left arm reached out and grabbed a bonesaw. In no time at all my left arm was sawing his head off. Just above where the knife was stuck. My left arm raised the severed head high. I crashed through the window and fled the scene. If it was me in control I would've doubled over in pain as soon as I crashed through that glass pane. But this wasn't me, this was something else. I felt the cold dark sky blow against me and all my various cuts. I was in pain but my body kept going. It flew up to my home and as soon as it stepped in the house, the severed head dropped onto the floor and I collapsed. My body was in intense pain. I dragged myself to the bathroom and locked the door. That was fun wasn't it? I collapsed and sobbed, unable to free myself of my anger and guilt. Chapter 5: RegretI awoke the next morning, body still covered in cuts and bruises. I don't care what everyone says. Crashing through a window is not cool. I dragged myself towards the bathroom. I gazed into the mirror and saw a pony. Half covered in blood, one of his eyes had murderous intent. Filled with malicious thoughts. The other eye was filled with sadness and regret. As if he had done something bad, but was powerless to stop it. I dragged myself away from the mirror and went into the shower. The blood washed off no problem, but the scars and cuts did not. I thought about what happened last night. That wasn't me. I would never do that. Problem is, that was you. "Shut up." It was fun wasn't it? My favorite part was when I was sawing his head off, there was blood bubbling from the hole in his throat. I clenched my hooves. I grabbed a mirror nearby and flung it across the room. I heard glass shatter as I felt the anger boil inside me. "Just leave me alone. Please." No can do. I'm staying here 'till I get what I want. "You already killed a pony. Just go." I'm just getting warmed up. I grumbled and opened the door. I leaped down and didn't bother to open my wings. I fell face first into the ground and chipped a tooth. I got up, brushed myself and walked. I entered town and heard the locals talk about last night. About who it might be, how brutal it was. I ignored them and continued walking. The voice in my head by now was screaming for violence. We had made a deal to only murder the ponies that offended us. I still hated myself fot being so weak and letting that damn voice take over. I went into a bakery and got some pastries to cure my hunger. I flew on a cloud and ate. I wasn't hungry, but my stomach told me otherwise. I ate silently and did not notice the cyan blue mare that landed beside me. "Hey-" Before she could finish I grabbed her in a human shield, choking her. "Let me *cough* go!" I let the mare free and continued watching the citizens. "What's wrong with you?" I didn't answer. I didn't know what was wrong with me either. I wanted to know too. I stared off into the horizon and stayed like this for a couple of minutes. Rainbow Dash came by and sat. "If I touch you, will you kill me?" "Depends." Hell yea I will! She rested her head on my shoulder. I instantly felt the voice in my head soften into silent whispers, then into nothing. I didn't struggle or protest. I had finally found the one thing that could stop the voices. Affection. Rainbow left minutes later and I still stood there. Staring off into the sunset. What the fuck just happened? I didn't say anything. I had finally found out his weakness and I sure as hell was gonna use it. I walked back to the town. It was already night. But I was hungry and I was hoping that Sugarcube corner would be open. I was walking when all of a sudden a unicorn crashed into me. She had an aquamarine coat, magic mint mane and a tail with a white streak. She had a cutie mark of an lyre. Before I could get up, she had ran off. I rubbed my head and tried to gain my bearings. KILL HER! SHE DESERVES IT! "No dude no. It was just an accident." Then why didn't she apologize? I was taken aback by that smart remark. Why didn't she apologize? Before I could answer I blacked out. When I woke up, I had that sensation again. The voice had taken over. In my right arm was a wicked looking knife. I took a moment to notice it, but I was now in the cottage of a pony. I saw the same unicorn that had crashed into me just moments ago. She was asleep. She looked so peaceful, unaware of what was about to happen. My right arm was raised above her head. I felt helpless to stop. It was like seeing a psycho driving your car and running over people while you sat in the back seat. The blade came down and went right into her eye, in tradition to last night blood splattered all over the place. Including to me. She let out a huge yell that probably woke up all of Equestria. I felt a grin tug at my lips as I felt her blood all over me, trickling down my arms, legs, basically all over me. Next stop, HER NECK! The blade was raised above her neck, and down it went. Even more blood splattered on me. I heard a maniacal laugh echo throughout the house. Only to realize that it was mine. I heard a sweet polite voice call out from below. "Lyra, are you okay?" Lyra couldn't respond. She tried to scream but it only brought forth the squirting of blood. She tried so hard, but it didn't work. I could see the fear and panic in her eyes. Although she wasn't restrained, she couldn't seem to move. I struggled and managed to gain control for one second. Tears flooded my eyes as I muttered once again, an apology. "I'm so sorry." Then an earth pony with a beige coat, pigment blue mane with a rose pink streak, cerulean eyes, and a cutie mark of three pieces of wrapped candy appeared at the door of the room. She froze in terror upon seeing her friend with a ruined eye and a hole in her neck. She was dumbfounded and did not try to run. Oh look! A new toy! In one swift move, I grabbed her by the neck and tossed her on the bed. I walked toward them, soaked with blood, grinning from ear to ear, bloody knife in hoof. They both shook in terror as the blade came down on the new pony's stomach, my right arm pulled and I could hear her stomach going rrriiiiiiiiiip! as the blade went down. She let out a scream just as loud as Lyra's. Again, the next stop was the throat to stop her screaming. Guts and intestines poured out her torso. Lyra had a look of absolute shock and fear. Her friend was no different. The knife went through Lyra's stomach too, and soon came forth the insides. My hands got to work and removed their hearts, then tied the hearts together in a packaging made of their intestines. My body let out a laugh of pure madness as I crashed though the wall and soared into the night sky. I set my sights on my floating mansion and burst through the cloud doors again. This time, there was no severed head, only memories and scars. Not physical scars. But emotional scars. Chapter 6: AlertI woke up the next morning and found my whole body covered in blood, the blood had seeped into my cloud bed turning it blood red. Only a small portion of my back remained blue, my once white mane was now almost completely red. I sighed and went into the shower to wash off my new paint job. Last night I didn't hurt myself other than a concussed head for crashing through the wall I was fine. But emotionally, there were scars. Deep gashes, I couldn't bring myself to think about the brutal murder of Lyra and her friend. Last night was great wasn't it? "For the last time. SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Y'know, that Lyra chick didn't look that bad. But she looked better without her guts. I punched a hole in the cloud wall. Not really painful, not that badass either. "Why? Why do you hate me so much?" I don't hate you. I just hate everyone else. I sighed and leaped out the window, refused to open my wings and repeated yesterday's fail. I trudged through town and tried to find something to eat, on the way, I saw a cute unicorn with a Maya blue coat, periwinkle mane and tail with a pigment blue streak, steel blue eyes, and a cutie mark of an hourglass. She looked kinda cute. She kind of pointed towards me and said something I could barely hear it. "I bet he did it." That was all she said. Immediately Mr. Killer Instincts piped up. KILL HER! SHE KNOWS TOO MUCH! "C'mon, how did you know? Plus she doesn't have enough proof." Better safe than sorry bitch. I struggled to stop him from taking over. He gave me the headache that probably split my head open, I struggled to maintain control over my body, eventually I won. I stumbled out into the woods and tried to get him to stop. I banged my head into the trees in a complete reenactment of my library fiasco. I managed to break a couple of trees in half, and split my head open again. This time it wasn't as severe as last time. Only a small gash, but that didn't stop the blood from gushing out. I stared at the enormous puddle of blood that my head had made. I stopped, my breathing was definitely heavier than normal. I stared at my bloody hooves for a while. Give up yet? I let out a small sob. "Just don't be too violent." Don't worry pancakes, I won't hurt her. Much. Soon I began to feel dizzy as I slowly lost consciousness. When I woke up, my body was in the home of another pony. The unicorn's I presumed. My killer instincts made his way to the bathroom where the cute "Colgate" unicorn that accused me this afternoon was brushing her teeth. "Brushie brushie brush brush brush brush brush brush......" She sang "God, she has a nice voice to back up those awesome looks too." Save it lover boy. We're here for business. My right hoof thrust out forward and smashed her face into the mirror. The glass shattered, shards the size of daggers fell out. The unicorn had been knocked out cold. My right arm grabbed a glass shard and stabbed it into her throat again. "You have an unhealthy obsession with throat stabbing don't you?" Shut up kid. It's all about strategy. He took up another glass shard and stabbed it through her stomach. She tried to scream, but a huge stream of blood came out and squirted me in the face, the warm liquid trickled down my face as she kept trying to scream, sending more blood into my face. My left hoof grabbed another huge glass shard. I gained control for a minute and took up a glass shard and stabbed my left hoof, the glass shard dropped to the floor. I wasn't hoping to save the unicorn, but I couldn't let that stupid psycho ruin her can I? I grabbed her in my arms and flew off to the hospital. Sure I had just probably just put my secret at risk of exposure, but what could I do? I couldn't just let her die like Lyra could I? I dropped her at the hospital entrance, but before I could run, that stupid voice came back. Oh no you don't. I always get what I want. My left hoof seemed to gain a mind of it's own, it grabbed the glass shard that was still in her throat and stabbed her, repeatedly. I watched in horror as blood flowed out her body. Then, a doctor came out and saw me. He stayed at the doors and stared at me. My killer instincts had stopped too, he stared back at the doctor. The doctor had absolute fear and panic in his eyes. Then, my body let out a snarl, dropped the unicorn's mutilated body and flew off towards my cloud mansion. I went in and collapsed on my couch. I didn't know what to do, I had just been caught by a local citizen. I hoped that the blood would've masked me. But I stared into a mirror and noticed that the blood hadn't done much but make me look like more of a psycho. I dashed for the shower and washed off all the evidence, I went to bed hoping that I could escape with my crimes. Little did I know, I was in pretty deep shit. The next morning, I woke up and was almost immediately greeted by a pony kicking me out of my house. I went flying down and crashed into the ground. A pony was waiting for me at the bottom. He kicked me so hard I flew straight into the middle of the town. Even the unicorn I had assaulted yesterday was In bandages ready to watch my shunning. Everypony was staring at me with a look of anger, hatred, basically speaking, they hated my guts. All except six mares. I recognized them. It was Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie. They looked at me with dissapointment. As if I had let them down. I pretty much did let them down. I tried to explain, but two buff looking ponies held me back. Then, a pony in a radioactive suit came. He took off his helmet and I saw who it was. The pony had blood red fur and a black mane. I instantly recognized him. "Juggernaut?" He responded by punching me so hard that I spat blood. "So, you still remember me? Not surprising. I always leave a good impression." He rushed forward and kicked me so hard that I coughed up an organ. The citizens stared at me in horror. I couldn't blame them. It was pretty gruesome. "You disgust me. Guards take him away." I was tossed into a cart and tied down. There was no escape now. I closed my eyes as the cart left Ponyville. Next chapter will be in third person narrative. Chapter 7: InsanityWhen I woke up again, I was in the same cell I once started in. I glanced outside, same arena, I looked at the arena opposite to mine, same old mare. Darkside looked at me and shook her head in dissapointment. I glanced at the cell next to Darkside's, it was Kamikaze. Instead of being his regular insane self, he looked at me and went "tsk, tsk tsk." Before turning his back on me. I tried to process all this, when all of a sudden, the huge television lit up. "Subject 626: Slingshot prepare to engage." I stepped out, gave the arena a glance. I tried to find a weak spot in the walls, but there was none. The robotic unicorn was getting impatient and was about to charge at me. Need help? I analyze the situation for a while before letting out an answer I will forever regret. "Yes." My body suddenly stood straight, my wings spread out. Then, the unicorn charged, it's drill horn lowered and armed. My right arm reached out and grabbed it's right hoof, then I flew up and spun, I let go and flung the unicorn into the wall so hard that it literally blew up. The intercom blared again as the lady's voice was heard again. "Test complete. Subject pass." I trudged back to the cell and gained control of my body again. I let out a relieved sigh. See? You can trust me. I mumbled an agreement. Then, suddenly, my cell's walls were raised, next to me was green mare, she looked at me and snarled, then galloped off to who knows where. I looked around and decided to hang out near Breakdown. He was a veteran that everybody feared and respected. Luckily for me, he was also quite friendly towards newbies. He gave me a few pointers on the battlefield, then I asked him a question. "So, why does everyone hate me?" Breakdown looked at me and raised an eyebrow. He went from normal to kinda grumpy. "Kid, do you know how long we've been waiting to escape? And finally you come along and do escape. Then you blew it. You could've made it. Do you know how demoralizing it is for us?" I pondered that thought for a while and decided that he was right. Eventually, the cell walls came down again and everyone was separated. I decided to get some shut eye, but before I could, A metal head was smashed into my cell's glass wall. I glanced up to find out that Kamikaze had just shoved a robot's face into the glass wall. He glared at me and did a neck slice. Everypony continued this routine. Everyday they would do test and have a little bonding time with the others. Then came one faithful day, the day that changed me forever, the day I snapped. I walked out and let my killer instincts take control again, a robotic earth pony was next in line to face me. It charged towards me, my right arm raised and did an elbow on it's back, almost separating it into half. I kicked it in the middle so hard it did snap in half, then I grabbed it's lower carcass and ripped the wires out. I was about to walk back to my cell, but all of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my rear left leg. I felt dizzy immediately afterwards and passed out. When I woke up I was in a new cell, it was more spacious than the last. But something felt different. I looked out at the arena and saw two ponies standing opposite one another. The one on the right was Darkside. The pony on the left was the same green pony that had turned her back on me. I watched in horror as the green mare stomped her hooves and immediately, green plant roots sprouted and spread towards Darkside. She tried to turn the roots into black mush, but there was simply too much. The vines tangled her and she became a plant mummy. Then suddenly the vines tensed and there was an explosion of blood and intestines. "Poison Ivy wins." I watched as she walked back to her cell and did not give a fuck. Wow, tough competition I gulped when I saw my name on screen. "Slingshot vs Kamikaze." I panicked when the glass door opened and my body stepped out. This is gonna be easy. kamikaze charged, ready to blow me to bits. I watched as my left arm thrust out and smacked Kamikaze in the face. He had been so fast that when he reached my hoof, his face caved in, I saw blood sprout out, I felt his insides, all slippery and squishy like, I closed my hoof around his heart and pulled, other guts came out too, but the heart was all that mattered. I took his body in my hoofs and ripped him apart. I tossed his upper body at the observation panel where a few scientist were watching. I turned around and saw everypony looking on attentively, then my killer instincts did something insane, he took a bite out of Kamikaze's heart and swallowed. The other ponies looked on in horror as I threw the half eaten heart at the glass cage of Knuckledragger. Knuckledragger whimpered and disappeared into the depths of his cave. I ran and smashed my hooves into Poison Ivy's cage and let out an insane "YOU'RE NEXT!". I returned back to the cell and tried to gain my bearings. "What the fuck was that for!?" Don't look at me dude. I didn't do shit. I suddenly realized what happened. My killer instincts hadn't been the one. I had been in full control. I had finally snapped. My brain flooded with malicious thoughts, as I let out an insane laugh that was heard throughout the arena. I had been so exposed to this violence that I had become accustomed to it, wait, no not accustomed. I was hungry for it. I was a monster...... And I liked it. Chapter 1: ExperimentsI woke up, feeling sore and tired. I was in a cell, it was just large enough for me to move in a circle, the walls were pure steel while the door was glass. I looked at my reflection from the glass door, I had blue fur and a white mane. I had some sort of arrow on my flank, my body was sleek and slim, i had wings on my sides to top that. I stopped to look at it, I suddenly noticed the other ponies. They were in cells similar to mine, in the middle of our rectangle of cells was an arena. I saw some limbs and guts, there was blood too, I looked at the arena pale with fear. I looked across and stared at the pony across me. She had jet black fur with a long flowing purple mane. She was beautiful, except for the fact that she had glowing purple eyes. I stared at her wondering what was wrong with her, all of a sudden a television screen turned on and this was what was on it. "Subject 620: Codename Darkside prepare to engage." Her cell door opened and she trotted out. Out of nowhere, robotic ponies popped out, one of them was a simple silver earth pony, the other was a pegasus pony that had chainsaws for wings. The robotic unicorn had a drill for a horn. The robot unicorn charged her, I prepared myself for blood and guts, but at the last minute, she raised her hoof and put it on the unicorn's head. The robot soon began melting, dissolving into a puddle of darkness. A female voice was heard from the arena. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Offline." The mare tried to melt the walls, but restraints were shot at her, encasing her in electricity. She screamed in pain before a couple of ponies in radioactive suits came in and carried her back into her cell. The television flashed again,. "Subject 621: Codename Kamikaze prepare to engage." A pony that had white and red fur came out. He was laughing like a maniac. He set his sights on the pegasus robot and his hooves glowed with yellow energy. He charged towards the robot and in the blink of an eye, the robot exploded. Kamikaze was laughing insanely and twitched every now and then. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Obliterated." I watched as ribbons of light wrapped Kamikaze and electrocuted him. Kamikaze was knocked out cold when the same ponies lifted him back into the cell. "Subject 622: Codename Firestarter prepare to engage." A pony with actual fire for a mane burst out. He looked scared and nervous. There was only the robot earth pony left. Firestarter saw it and he dashed toward my cell glass and knocked on it with his hooves urgently. I backed up towards the wall as he continued knocking and banging. "LET ME IN! LET ME IN! PLEASE! PLEASE! LET ME-" Before Firestarter could finish, the robot earth pony had punched a hole through his chest. Firestarter stared at the bits and pieces of his heart and lungs before collapsing, I was still staring at Firestarter's body with fear and disbelief. The robot seemed to grin at me. I was sweating by now, i looked at the psycho robot and panicked. Eventually the lady's voice was heard. "Test complete. Subject fail. Enemy status: Online." I stared at the arena as the television blazed to life. "Subject 623: Codename Juggernaut prepare to engage." A new pony came out. He seemed to be the exact opposite of me. He had red fur, and a black mane. I had blue fur and a white mane. He stared at me and grinned. He seemed to know me, and he knew that I knew him. But i didn't know him, though I couldn't help but feel related to him. But before I could respond the robot charged at him. He simply kicked it and the robot was reduced to nothing but a pile of scrap, a flat sheet of metal. Wow. He's pretty strong. I watched him trot back into his cell. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Destroyed." I was breathing heavily by now. My heartbeat was off the charts, I was sweating so much that I could've flooded the cell. "Subject 624: Codename Breakdown prepare to engage." I stared as a pony with black fur and snow white mane came out. He seemed to be radiating malice. He had an annoyed look on his face. Looks like somepony had a bad day. I watched as his arms turned into blades. I gawked at what I saw. A new robot earth pony was up and running. It charged and got itself sliced up by Breakdown. Breakdown wanted more. He continued slicing the robot carcass until it was nothing but a million little metal cubes. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Terminated." I couldn't help but feel pathetic and worthless. I didn't have any powers. I felt sorry for myself, I was going to die. The television lit up again. "Subject 625: Codename Knuckledragger prepare to engage." A vaguely pony like creature roared and stomped out. It was nothing but a skeleton covered by a huge mass of rotting skin and raw muscle. It had claws each the size of a leg. This thing was huge. It would take 4 of my cells to make a cell that can fit him. It charged towards the robot pony and sliced it into three clean pieces. It tried to eat the metal, but he ended up coughing it back up. It turned it's attention towards me and bashed the glass. Great. Now it's gonna eat me. I backed up into a corner as the creature continued bashing the glass, the glass was starting to give, cracks were appearing left and right but it couldn't seem to break it. Eventually it got sedated and was dragged back to where it came from. I breathed a sigh of relief. I relaxed and saw the television screen light up. "Subject 626: Codename Slingshot prepare to engage." I laughed at the poor fool. He was going to face a robotic chainsaw pegasus. I immediately stopped laughing when I saw my glass door open. "Fuck me." Chapter 2: EscapeBit of a Rainbow Factory reference in this. Still gives me nightmares. I was shaking all over as I stepped out the safety of my cell. I was going to die of course i was scared, I was just a normal pegasus pony. Nothing special, I didn't have explosive powers like Kamikaze, I didn't melt things into darkness like Darkside, I wasn't a hulking beast like Knuckledragger, nor did I have super strength like Juggernaut...... Wait, Juggernaut might be the opposite of me, so if he's super strong...... I stood there, the robotic pegasus could slice me in half no problem, I stared in it's red glowing eyes, it buzzed it's chainsaw wings and charged. I waited and flew out of the way no problem, I didn't know how fast I went but I felt a tonne of G force, a clear indication that I had traveled in great speeds. I watched as the robot pegasus charged at where I once stood, he crashed into Kamikaze's cell door. Kamikaze jumped and complained. I chuckled and flew over to kick it. I kicked it alright but it definitely hurt me more than it hurt him. I felt my hoof go sore, I had to think of something, I spotted a crack on the wall. I could break that and give myself permanent brain damage, or I could stay here and spend my whole life doing "test" I thought about it for a while and decided to escape. I calmed myself down first, i had all the time in the world, the stupid robot pegasus couldn't reach me anyway. I was to high up, I prepared myself for the headache of the century and flew as fast as i could. I smashed through the wall and was instantly engulfed in sunshine. "FREEDOOOOOO- OWWWWW!" I felt the pain all around my body, I looked back at the creepy warehouse I had just escaped from, freedom was so close, I just have to fly away, but I had a strong urge to go back and release the one they call Juggernaut. There were alarms blaring and everypony was running around in panic. Let's see, I could fly back and save my possibly evil twin, or fly away and enjoy life. Decisions. In a matter of seconds I was back in the warehouse and was searching for Juggernaut's cell. I found his cell, but he was nowhere to be found. His glass door had been shattered, I assumed he had escaped without my help. "Great. I just wasted my time to come save somepony only to find out he esca-" I couldn't finish the last few words of my sentence. I felt electricity flow through me as I fell to the floor and collapsed. Black spots were dancing around my eyes, my great escape had failed miserably. I woke up and found myself strapped to a steel table, I saw two ponies by my side, their backs were turned to me. One of them was grey and had a black mane. The other pony was yellow with red hair, she had her nurse's cap on. "-shame that he has to go so soon." The doctor sighed "Yea, he had so much potential." "I wouldn't blame him though, if I was in one of those cell's i'd want to leave too." "He could've made it, why'd he come back?" "Probably came back to save his brother Juggernaut." "Well, blood is thicker than water." "But it's a shame that Juggernaut escaped too. He didn't seem all that bad." "I knew giving a pony super strength was a bad idea." The nurse nodded in agreement, they continued and discussed about the various other ponies that were in the arena. Suddenly, I heard them talk about me and where I was going to. "We could send him to the Rainbow Factory." The nurse suggested "ARE YOU MAD WOMAN!?" "But-" "No soul, good or bad deserves punishment that bad!" "Then, where do we send him?" "We could put him down now, it'll be painless." "Fine." "WAIT!" I yelled The ponies turned around and saw me struggling in my bonds. "Then what do you suggest?" "Let me go." "Are you crazy!?" "What? Did I say something wrong?" "I'd rather send you to the Rainbow Factory!" "Why not?" "The director will have my butt if he finds out I let you go!" "Then leave, nopony's forcing you to work here." The doctor pondered the thought for a while and pushed a button. A giant saw blade popped out from the ceiling and made it's way towards me. I squirmed as hard as I could, but it was no use, death was in the bag for me. "I'm sorry." The doctor muttered I braced myself for the blade to cut right through me, instead it moved to the side and cut my restraints. I got up and stretched my wings, ready to take off. I gave the doc a salute, he responded with a simple nod. I spread my wings and took off, flying through the corridors, ponies scattered left and right as I tried to find a way out, I found a lab and busted in. I saw an emergency exit. Among other things that is. I saw a steel table with a pony on it, he had his wings taken off, he wore an expression of fear, the gashes where the wings were supposed to be was gushing blood, a stray tendon hung out of it. I stared in horror and moved on slowly. The next table had a mare on it, she was a mangled mess, a stray rib bone poked out the side of her chest, her leg was impaled through her head, where her right eye was supposed to be, a hoof poked out of it. Her arms were twisted and outstretched, her face wore and expression of insanity, her face was bathed in blood, her stomach had guts and flesh being showcased. I closed my eyes and crashed through the door, I was engulfed in sunlight as I took off, hoping to stay somewhere far far far away from from that twisted demented lab.
Chapter 3: New LifeAs I sped off, I couldn't help but take one more glance back at the lab that once kept me, I wasn't sure where I was going though. In a matter of seconds, I had landed on a cloud overlooking a small town. I watched it's inhabitants roam freely as I watched them with intent. They went on with their daily lives, unaware of the danger they were in. I heard a voice in my head, a sinister cold voice. Hello "Um, hello?" I'm your killer instincts! I'm hear to help you make decisions! "WHAT?" Your first decision is to KILL "What the fuck? Why are you here?" You see, you were made to kill. And so they put me here! To make sure you killed whether you wanted to or not. I tried to gather my composure while I heard the voice give out a sinister laugh. Why would I want to kill them? I came here to start a new life, not murder everything I saw. "BOO!" I jumped and almost fell of the cloud, I turned back to see a beautiful cyan blue mare, she had a rainbow mane accompanied by a rainbow tail. I was breathing quite heavily from my shock. "THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" The rainbow pony stopped laughing and a sad look replaced her smile. I calmed myself down and apologized. The smile instantly returned. "I haven't seen you around before. Are you new here?" "I guess." "By the way, what's your name?" I thought about it, what was my name? I didn't know myself. I tried to remember the stupid codename they gave me back at the lab. "Slingshot." "So you need a place to stay?" I thought about it first. The cyan blue pony continued staring at me with her rose red eyes. I needed time to think. Do it! Say yes! It'll be easier to kill them all that way! "Shut up!" The cyan blue pony looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, just kind of tired you know. By the way what's your name?" "Rainbow Dash. The name's Rainbow Dash." "Thanks for trying to help Rainbow Dash, but I don't need a place to stay." I hopped off the cloud and walked away. I didn't look back as I walk down the crowded streets. Why didn't you say yes? "Because i'm not a psychopath." I'll show you what happens when you disobey me. "What- AHHHHH!" I felt immense pain in my head. The voice continued mumbling malicious thoughts. I let out a blood curdling shriek. All the ponies stopped and stared at me. A grey pony with a blond mane approached me, her eyes were derped, I still had that stupid headache. "Sir?" The grey pony asked "BACK OFF!" I snarled She did, and so did everypony else. I got up and ran for my life. I ended up in the forest. I tried to get rid of the voice, but the bastard came back. Did you enjoy my gift? "What did you do?" I have access to 80% of your mind. You have only 20%. I could do a lot of damage if I wanted to. "What do you want?" You know what you want. Go back there and kill everybody. "NO!" You asked for it. Once again the immense throbbing pain came back and I found my self rolling on the ground, my hooves bashing at my head. "I GIVE! I GIVE!" The voice uttered a slight chuckle. It stopped the pain and allowed me to go back to the town. I walked back and explored the town. Along the way, a pink pony spotted me, she leaped in the air gave out a gasp, then dashed off. I continued walking, everypony was staring at me as if I was some sort of monster. I probably was by then. I walked down the streets and found a bakery. It was called "Sugarcube Corner". Dammit monster or not I needed to eat. I stepped in and was greeted by colorful streamers, confetti and various other party things. Argh! I thought I told you to kill! Not party! I shrugged and ate a cupcake, the pink pony that I saw on the road hopped out of nowhere. "Hi my name is Pinkie Pie! You must be new here because i've never seen your face until just now and so I set up a party just for you! By the way, what's your name?" "Slingshot." "Okey Dokey Lokey! Have fun!" Pinkie left me alone as I continued munching on my muffin. Five ponies emerged from the crowd, one of which was Rainbow Dash. The others were complete strangers to me. "Hey there!" Rainbow Dash said "Rainbow, you know this charming colt?" The white unicorn asked "Um, we met just now." I watched as the ponies chatted , finally after about an hour of chat, they introduced themselves. The lavender unicorn was called Twilight Sparkle, the white unicorn was called Rarity, the yellow pegasus was Fluttershy, the orange earth pony was called Applejack. "What's your name?" Twilight asked "Slingshot." Your supposed to be killing them dammit! Do I have to do things myself? I excused myself and left before my instincts could nag at me any longer. Get back in there! "NO! I mean, there's too much ponies around, i'll have to wait 'till nightfall." Ah, smart. I like that. I walked back to the outskirts of the town, trying to reason with the stupid psycho. "I can't just kill them for no reason!" Yes you can. No one's stopping you. "But, I mean, they've never really done anything wrong have they?" So? "How's about this. We'll compromise. If anypony offends you in anyway at all. I'll murder them. Deal?" Fine I breathed a sigh of relief. At least I wasn't going to kill that much now. But I was still going to end up killing them one way or another. I calmed my killer instincts down and headed back into the city to make new friends. I went to the library first. Inside I found Twilight Sparkle studying. She looked up and raised an eyebrow, puzzled that I had come. "You stay in the library?" "Yup. Where are you staying?" "Nowhere." Twilight looked at me with a confused look on her face. "Okay, time to go." I thanked her and was about to leave, but Twilight stopped me before I could. "Are you doing anything tomorrow?" "No, why?" "Well, I think me and my friends should get to know you better, so meet us here at the library afternoon." That didn't sound like much of an invite. It sounded more like a request. I thanked her again and flew off, looking for a place to stay.
Chapter 4: FriendsI woke up. It was morning by now. I blinked and stood up. Sleeping on the grass probably wasn't a good idea. I should've just asked for a place to stay. Then, I looked up and saw Rainbow Dash flying to her mansion of a home. It was made of clouds and had rainbows pouring out of it. I looked around and saw tons of other clouds. I took off and got to work on making my new crib. When I was done, It was noon. I still had an hour to spare. I was still quite surprised that my killer instincts hadn't made me try and kill anything yet. I was glad that the psycho had shut up. It was starting to annoy me. But this voice should never be taken lightly. I knew that the bastard could easily jack my body and lay waste to the whole world. I disregarded that thought as I walked towards the library. Twilight had requested me to meet up with her and the gang at the library during noon. I wasn't one to let a mare down, so I went. I entered the library and found the gang chatting and messing around in the library. I went in and immediately the psychopath known as my killer instincts came back. KILL! IT'LL BE FUN! "Shut up!" The pain in my head slowly increased as I kept denying his dirty deeds. Eventually it became unbearable. I screamed and bashed my head into a bookshelf. I ran and bashed my head into the wall of the library, I kept trying to stop the pain but it wouldn't stop. "GODAMMIT SHUT UP!" Having fun? The pain grew even worse, I couldn't give up. I gave one last charge and smashed through the library walls, I heard a sickening *crack* upon impact. I had heavy breathing and I was panting. But at least the pain had stopped. "How you like that?" No reply came. I let out a relieved sigh. The pain was gone. But new pain replaced it. I felt something warm trickle down my face. I ran to the nearest pond and saw that my head had been split open. I could see the flesh inside. I stared at my reflection wide eyed with fear. Suddenly I saw Twilight Sparkle behind me with a bloody knife. "AAHHHH!" I turned to see that the whole gang was there. They had a look of concern on their faces. "Um, that was......Unique" Twilight said "My, my, you need medical attention!" Rarity said They dragged me to the hospital. I didn't want needles and knives stuck into me. But they didn't give me a choice. Soon enough I was in a hospital room ready to get some stitches in my head. The doctor worked while I sat there and crossed my arms. After they patched me up, the doctor gave me a report. "You have a split head and a concussion. Other than that your okay." "How long?" "About a year." I sighed. At least that psychopath couldn't find anymore victims. I looked around, opposite my bed was a pony who had a cast on his leg. He looked at me and sneered. "What're you laughing about?" "I can't believe you were dumb enough to run into a wall. I mean even Ditzy isn't as dumb as you!" I clenched my teeth. I was mad and my killer instincts took this moment of opportunity. Are you going to take bullshit from an idiot like him? "Leave me alone." "Ha! Talking to yourself? Your even more of an idiot than I thought." Now he's really asking for it. C'mon give it to him! "No! No I won't!" THEN I'LL DO IT MYSELF! Then, something weird happened. My body turned to the side and hopped off the bed. The weird part was, I wasn't in control. "What the?" Don't worry, i'll take care of him real good. My arm reached out and grabbed one of the doctor's many knives. It had chosen the sharp, large wicked looking blade. My body slowly walked toward the idiot who had insulted me. He was gradually getting more and more scared, he looked around for help as my right arm raised the blade and advanced ever so closer to the pony. I tried to stop myself but I couldn't. "Stop it!" Sorry but i'm done being your little bitch. From now on i'm your boss. The blade was raised directly above the pony's throat. I managed to take control for a while and mutter a few words. "I'm sorry." The knife was brought down on his neck, blood splattered everywhere. His eyes were wide with fear as he stared at me with pure terror. He tried to scream but more blood squirted out the knife in his neck. My right arm grabbed another knife, this one was bigger that the last. The pony continued looking at the psycho that stood before him. I felt my body twitch once in a while. My arm raised the blade high above and brought it down on the pony's stomach. If the blade had been any faster it would've cut him in half. Guts and intestines poured out of his body, as tears poured out his eyes. My left hand reached out and grabbed the intestines and pulled them straight out oh his body. He tried to scream again but more blood sputtered out instead. I think his precious little head will make an excellent souvenir My left arm reached out and grabbed a bonesaw. In no time at all my left arm was sawing his head off. Just above where the knife was stuck. My left arm raised the severed head high. I crashed through the window and fled the scene. If it was me in control I would've doubled over in pain as soon as I crashed through that glass pane. But this wasn't me, this was something else. I felt the cold dark sky blow against me and all my various cuts. I was in pain but my body kept going. It flew up to my home and as soon as it stepped in the house, the severed head dropped onto the floor and I collapsed. My body was in intense pain. I dragged myself to the bathroom and locked the door. That was fun wasn't it? I collapsed and sobbed, unable to free myself of my anger and guilt.
Chapter 5: RegretI awoke the next morning, body still covered in cuts and bruises. I don't care what everyone says. Crashing through a window is not cool. I dragged myself towards the bathroom. I gazed into the mirror and saw a pony. Half covered in blood, one of his eyes had murderous intent. Filled with malicious thoughts. The other eye was filled with sadness and regret. As if he had done something bad, but was powerless to stop it. I dragged myself away from the mirror and went into the shower. The blood washed off no problem, but the scars and cuts did not. I thought about what happened last night. That wasn't me. I would never do that. Problem is, that was you. "Shut up." It was fun wasn't it? My favorite part was when I was sawing his head off, there was blood bubbling from the hole in his throat. I clenched my hooves. I grabbed a mirror nearby and flung it across the room. I heard glass shatter as I felt the anger boil inside me. "Just leave me alone. Please." No can do. I'm staying here 'till I get what I want. "You already killed a pony. Just go." I'm just getting warmed up. I grumbled and opened the door. I leaped down and didn't bother to open my wings. I fell face first into the ground and chipped a tooth. I got up, brushed myself and walked. I entered town and heard the locals talk about last night. About who it might be, how brutal it was. I ignored them and continued walking. The voice in my head by now was screaming for violence. We had made a deal to only murder the ponies that offended us. I still hated myself fot being so weak and letting that damn voice take over. I went into a bakery and got some pastries to cure my hunger. I flew on a cloud and ate. I wasn't hungry, but my stomach told me otherwise. I ate silently and did not notice the cyan blue mare that landed beside me. "Hey-" Before she could finish I grabbed her in a human shield, choking her. "Let me *cough* go!" I let the mare free and continued watching the citizens. "What's wrong with you?" I didn't answer. I didn't know what was wrong with me either. I wanted to know too. I stared off into the horizon and stayed like this for a couple of minutes. Rainbow Dash came by and sat. "If I touch you, will you kill me?" "Depends." Hell yea I will! She rested her head on my shoulder. I instantly felt the voice in my head soften into silent whispers, then into nothing. I didn't struggle or protest. I had finally found the one thing that could stop the voices. Affection. Rainbow left minutes later and I still stood there. Staring off into the sunset. What the fuck just happened? I didn't say anything. I had finally found out his weakness and I sure as hell was gonna use it. I walked back to the town. It was already night. But I was hungry and I was hoping that Sugarcube corner would be open. I was walking when all of a sudden a unicorn crashed into me. She had an aquamarine coat, magic mint mane and a tail with a white streak. She had a cutie mark of an lyre. Before I could get up, she had ran off. I rubbed my head and tried to gain my bearings. KILL HER! SHE DESERVES IT! "No dude no. It was just an accident." Then why didn't she apologize? I was taken aback by that smart remark. Why didn't she apologize? Before I could answer I blacked out. When I woke up, I had that sensation again. The voice had taken over. In my right arm was a wicked looking knife. I took a moment to notice it, but I was now in the cottage of a pony. I saw the same unicorn that had crashed into me just moments ago. She was asleep. She looked so peaceful, unaware of what was about to happen. My right arm was raised above her head. I felt helpless to stop. It was like seeing a psycho driving your car and running over people while you sat in the back seat. The blade came down and went right into her eye, in tradition to last night blood splattered all over the place. Including to me. She let out a huge yell that probably woke up all of Equestria. I felt a grin tug at my lips as I felt her blood all over me, trickling down my arms, legs, basically all over me. Next stop, HER NECK! The blade was raised above her neck, and down it went. Even more blood splattered on me. I heard a maniacal laugh echo throughout the house. Only to realize that it was mine. I heard a sweet polite voice call out from below. "Lyra, are you okay?" Lyra couldn't respond. She tried to scream but it only brought forth the squirting of blood. She tried so hard, but it didn't work. I could see the fear and panic in her eyes. Although she wasn't restrained, she couldn't seem to move. I struggled and managed to gain control for one second. Tears flooded my eyes as I muttered once again, an apology. "I'm so sorry." Then an earth pony with a beige coat, pigment blue mane with a rose pink streak, cerulean eyes, and a cutie mark of three pieces of wrapped candy appeared at the door of the room. She froze in terror upon seeing her friend with a ruined eye and a hole in her neck. She was dumbfounded and did not try to run. Oh look! A new toy! In one swift move, I grabbed her by the neck and tossed her on the bed. I walked toward them, soaked with blood, grinning from ear to ear, bloody knife in hoof. They both shook in terror as the blade came down on the new pony's stomach, my right arm pulled and I could hear her stomach going rrriiiiiiiiiip! as the blade went down. She let out a scream just as loud as Lyra's. Again, the next stop was the throat to stop her screaming. Guts and intestines poured out her torso. Lyra had a look of absolute shock and fear. Her friend was no different. The knife went through Lyra's stomach too, and soon came forth the insides. My hands got to work and removed their hearts, then tied the hearts together in a packaging made of their intestines. My body let out a laugh of pure madness as I crashed though the wall and soared into the night sky. I set my sights on my floating mansion and burst through the cloud doors again. This time, there was no severed head, only memories and scars. Not physical scars. But emotional scars.
Chapter 6: AlertI woke up the next morning and found my whole body covered in blood, the blood had seeped into my cloud bed turning it blood red. Only a small portion of my back remained blue, my once white mane was now almost completely red. I sighed and went into the shower to wash off my new paint job. Last night I didn't hurt myself other than a concussed head for crashing through the wall I was fine. But emotionally, there were scars. Deep gashes, I couldn't bring myself to think about the brutal murder of Lyra and her friend. Last night was great wasn't it? "For the last time. SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Y'know, that Lyra chick didn't look that bad. But she looked better without her guts. I punched a hole in the cloud wall. Not really painful, not that badass either. "Why? Why do you hate me so much?" I don't hate you. I just hate everyone else. I sighed and leaped out the window, refused to open my wings and repeated yesterday's fail. I trudged through town and tried to find something to eat, on the way, I saw a cute unicorn with a Maya blue coat, periwinkle mane and tail with a pigment blue streak, steel blue eyes, and a cutie mark of an hourglass. She looked kinda cute. She kind of pointed towards me and said something I could barely hear it. "I bet he did it." That was all she said. Immediately Mr. Killer Instincts piped up. KILL HER! SHE KNOWS TOO MUCH! "C'mon, how did you know? Plus she doesn't have enough proof." Better safe than sorry bitch. I struggled to stop him from taking over. He gave me the headache that probably split my head open, I struggled to maintain control over my body, eventually I won. I stumbled out into the woods and tried to get him to stop. I banged my head into the trees in a complete reenactment of my library fiasco. I managed to break a couple of trees in half, and split my head open again. This time it wasn't as severe as last time. Only a small gash, but that didn't stop the blood from gushing out. I stared at the enormous puddle of blood that my head had made. I stopped, my breathing was definitely heavier than normal. I stared at my bloody hooves for a while. Give up yet? I let out a small sob. "Just don't be too violent." Don't worry pancakes, I won't hurt her. Much. Soon I began to feel dizzy as I slowly lost consciousness. When I woke up, my body was in the home of another pony. The unicorn's I presumed. My killer instincts made his way to the bathroom where the cute "Colgate" unicorn that accused me this afternoon was brushing her teeth. "Brushie brushie brush brush brush brush brush brush......" She sang "God, she has a nice voice to back up those awesome looks too." Save it lover boy. We're here for business. My right hoof thrust out forward and smashed her face into the mirror. The glass shattered, shards the size of daggers fell out. The unicorn had been knocked out cold. My right arm grabbed a glass shard and stabbed it into her throat again. "You have an unhealthy obsession with throat stabbing don't you?" Shut up kid. It's all about strategy. He took up another glass shard and stabbed it through her stomach. She tried to scream, but a huge stream of blood came out and squirted me in the face, the warm liquid trickled down my face as she kept trying to scream, sending more blood into my face. My left hoof grabbed another huge glass shard. I gained control for a minute and took up a glass shard and stabbed my left hoof, the glass shard dropped to the floor. I wasn't hoping to save the unicorn, but I couldn't let that stupid psycho ruin her can I? I grabbed her in my arms and flew off to the hospital. Sure I had just probably just put my secret at risk of exposure, but what could I do? I couldn't just let her die like Lyra could I? I dropped her at the hospital entrance, but before I could run, that stupid voice came back. Oh no you don't. I always get what I want. My left hoof seemed to gain a mind of it's own, it grabbed the glass shard that was still in her throat and stabbed her, repeatedly. I watched in horror as blood flowed out her body. Then, a doctor came out and saw me. He stayed at the doors and stared at me. My killer instincts had stopped too, he stared back at the doctor. The doctor had absolute fear and panic in his eyes. Then, my body let out a snarl, dropped the unicorn's mutilated body and flew off towards my cloud mansion. I went in and collapsed on my couch. I didn't know what to do, I had just been caught by a local citizen. I hoped that the blood would've masked me. But I stared into a mirror and noticed that the blood hadn't done much but make me look like more of a psycho. I dashed for the shower and washed off all the evidence, I went to bed hoping that I could escape with my crimes. Little did I know, I was in pretty deep shit. The next morning, I woke up and was almost immediately greeted by a pony kicking me out of my house. I went flying down and crashed into the ground. A pony was waiting for me at the bottom. He kicked me so hard I flew straight into the middle of the town. Even the unicorn I had assaulted yesterday was In bandages ready to watch my shunning. Everypony was staring at me with a look of anger, hatred, basically speaking, they hated my guts. All except six mares. I recognized them. It was Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie. They looked at me with dissapointment. As if I had let them down. I pretty much did let them down. I tried to explain, but two buff looking ponies held me back. Then, a pony in a radioactive suit came. He took off his helmet and I saw who it was. The pony had blood red fur and a black mane. I instantly recognized him. "Juggernaut?" He responded by punching me so hard that I spat blood. "So, you still remember me? Not surprising. I always leave a good impression." He rushed forward and kicked me so hard that I coughed up an organ. The citizens stared at me in horror. I couldn't blame them. It was pretty gruesome. "You disgust me. Guards take him away." I was tossed into a cart and tied down. There was no escape now. I closed my eyes as the cart left Ponyville. Next chapter will be in third person narrative.
Chapter 7: InsanityWhen I woke up again, I was in the same cell I once started in. I glanced outside, same arena, I looked at the arena opposite to mine, same old mare. Darkside looked at me and shook her head in dissapointment. I glanced at the cell next to Darkside's, it was Kamikaze. Instead of being his regular insane self, he looked at me and went "tsk, tsk tsk." Before turning his back on me. I tried to process all this, when all of a sudden, the huge television lit up. "Subject 626: Slingshot prepare to engage." I stepped out, gave the arena a glance. I tried to find a weak spot in the walls, but there was none. The robotic unicorn was getting impatient and was about to charge at me. Need help? I analyze the situation for a while before letting out an answer I will forever regret. "Yes." My body suddenly stood straight, my wings spread out. Then, the unicorn charged, it's drill horn lowered and armed. My right arm reached out and grabbed it's right hoof, then I flew up and spun, I let go and flung the unicorn into the wall so hard that it literally blew up. The intercom blared again as the lady's voice was heard again. "Test complete. Subject pass." I trudged back to the cell and gained control of my body again. I let out a relieved sigh. See? You can trust me. I mumbled an agreement. Then, suddenly, my cell's walls were raised, next to me was green mare, she looked at me and snarled, then galloped off to who knows where. I looked around and decided to hang out near Breakdown. He was a veteran that everybody feared and respected. Luckily for me, he was also quite friendly towards newbies. He gave me a few pointers on the battlefield, then I asked him a question. "So, why does everyone hate me?" Breakdown looked at me and raised an eyebrow. He went from normal to kinda grumpy. "Kid, do you know how long we've been waiting to escape? And finally you come along and do escape. Then you blew it. You could've made it. Do you know how demoralizing it is for us?" I pondered that thought for a while and decided that he was right. Eventually, the cell walls came down again and everyone was separated. I decided to get some shut eye, but before I could, A metal head was smashed into my cell's glass wall. I glanced up to find out that Kamikaze had just shoved a robot's face into the glass wall. He glared at me and did a neck slice. Everypony continued this routine. Everyday they would do test and have a little bonding time with the others. Then came one faithful day, the day that changed me forever, the day I snapped. I walked out and let my killer instincts take control again, a robotic earth pony was next in line to face me. It charged towards me, my right arm raised and did an elbow on it's back, almost separating it into half. I kicked it in the middle so hard it did snap in half, then I grabbed it's lower carcass and ripped the wires out. I was about to walk back to my cell, but all of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my rear left leg. I felt dizzy immediately afterwards and passed out. When I woke up I was in a new cell, it was more spacious than the last. But something felt different. I looked out at the arena and saw two ponies standing opposite one another. The one on the right was Darkside. The pony on the left was the same green pony that had turned her back on me. I watched in horror as the green mare stomped her hooves and immediately, green plant roots sprouted and spread towards Darkside. She tried to turn the roots into black mush, but there was simply too much. The vines tangled her and she became a plant mummy. Then suddenly the vines tensed and there was an explosion of blood and intestines. "Poison Ivy wins." I watched as she walked back to her cell and did not give a fuck. Wow, tough competition I gulped when I saw my name on screen. "Slingshot vs Kamikaze." I panicked when the glass door opened and my body stepped out. This is gonna be easy. kamikaze charged, ready to blow me to bits. I watched as my left arm thrust out and smacked Kamikaze in the face. He had been so fast that when he reached my hoof, his face caved in, I saw blood sprout out, I felt his insides, all slippery and squishy like, I closed my hoof around his heart and pulled, other guts came out too, but the heart was all that mattered. I took his body in my hoofs and ripped him apart. I tossed his upper body at the observation panel where a few scientist were watching. I turned around and saw everypony looking on attentively, then my killer instincts did something insane, he took a bite out of Kamikaze's heart and swallowed. The other ponies looked on in horror as I threw the half eaten heart at the glass cage of Knuckledragger. Knuckledragger whimpered and disappeared into the depths of his cave. I ran and smashed my hooves into Poison Ivy's cage and let out an insane "YOU'RE NEXT!". I returned back to the cell and tried to gain my bearings. "What the fuck was that for!?" Don't look at me dude. I didn't do shit. I suddenly realized what happened. My killer instincts hadn't been the one. I had been in full control. I had finally snapped. My brain flooded with malicious thoughts, as I let out an insane laugh that was heard throughout the arena. I had been so exposed to this violence that I had become accustomed to it, wait, no not accustomed. I was hungry for it. I was a monster...... And I liked it.
Chapter 1: ExperimentsI woke up, feeling sore and tired. I was in a cell, it was just large enough for me to move in a circle, the walls were pure steel while the door was glass. I looked at my reflection from the glass door, I had blue fur and a white mane. I had some sort of arrow on my flank, my body was sleek and slim, i had wings on my sides to top that. I stopped to look at it, I suddenly noticed the other ponies. They were in cells similar to mine, in the middle of our rectangle of cells was an arena. I saw some limbs and guts, there was blood too, I looked at the arena pale with fear. I looked across and stared at the pony across me. She had jet black fur with a long flowing purple mane. She was beautiful, except for the fact that she had glowing purple eyes. I stared at her wondering what was wrong with her, all of a sudden a television screen turned on and this was what was on it. "Subject 620: Codename Darkside prepare to engage." Her cell door opened and she trotted out. Out of nowhere, robotic ponies popped out, one of them was a simple silver earth pony, the other was a pegasus pony that had chainsaws for wings. The robotic unicorn had a drill for a horn. The robot unicorn charged her, I prepared myself for blood and guts, but at the last minute, she raised her hoof and put it on the unicorn's head. The robot soon began melting, dissolving into a puddle of darkness. A female voice was heard from the arena. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Offline." The mare tried to melt the walls, but restraints were shot at her, encasing her in electricity. She screamed in pain before a couple of ponies in radioactive suits came in and carried her back into her cell. The television flashed again,. "Subject 621: Codename Kamikaze prepare to engage." A pony that had white and red fur came out. He was laughing like a maniac. He set his sights on the pegasus robot and his hooves glowed with yellow energy. He charged towards the robot and in the blink of an eye, the robot exploded. Kamikaze was laughing insanely and twitched every now and then. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Obliterated." I watched as ribbons of light wrapped Kamikaze and electrocuted him. Kamikaze was knocked out cold when the same ponies lifted him back into the cell. "Subject 622: Codename Firestarter prepare to engage." A pony with actual fire for a mane burst out. He looked scared and nervous. There was only the robot earth pony left. Firestarter saw it and he dashed toward my cell glass and knocked on it with his hooves urgently. I backed up towards the wall as he continued knocking and banging. "LET ME IN! LET ME IN! PLEASE! PLEASE! LET ME-" Before Firestarter could finish, the robot earth pony had punched a hole through his chest. Firestarter stared at the bits and pieces of his heart and lungs before collapsing, I was still staring at Firestarter's body with fear and disbelief. The robot seemed to grin at me. I was sweating by now, i looked at the psycho robot and panicked. Eventually the lady's voice was heard. "Test complete. Subject fail. Enemy status: Online." I stared at the arena as the television blazed to life. "Subject 623: Codename Juggernaut prepare to engage." A new pony came out. He seemed to be the exact opposite of me. He had red fur, and a black mane. I had blue fur and a white mane. He stared at me and grinned. He seemed to know me, and he knew that I knew him. But i didn't know him, though I couldn't help but feel related to him. But before I could respond the robot charged at him. He simply kicked it and the robot was reduced to nothing but a pile of scrap, a flat sheet of metal. Wow. He's pretty strong. I watched him trot back into his cell. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Destroyed." I was breathing heavily by now. My heartbeat was off the charts, I was sweating so much that I could've flooded the cell. "Subject 624: Codename Breakdown prepare to engage." I stared as a pony with black fur and snow white mane came out. He seemed to be radiating malice. He had an annoyed look on his face. Looks like somepony had a bad day. I watched as his arms turned into blades. I gawked at what I saw. A new robot earth pony was up and running. It charged and got itself sliced up by Breakdown. Breakdown wanted more. He continued slicing the robot carcass until it was nothing but a million little metal cubes. "Test complete. Subject pass. Enemy status: Terminated." I couldn't help but feel pathetic and worthless. I didn't have any powers. I felt sorry for myself, I was going to die. The television lit up again. "Subject 625: Codename Knuckledragger prepare to engage." A vaguely pony like creature roared and stomped out. It was nothing but a skeleton covered by a huge mass of rotting skin and raw muscle. It had claws each the size of a leg. This thing was huge. It would take 4 of my cells to make a cell that can fit him. It charged towards the robot pony and sliced it into three clean pieces. It tried to eat the metal, but he ended up coughing it back up. It turned it's attention towards me and bashed the glass. Great. Now it's gonna eat me. I backed up into a corner as the creature continued bashing the glass, the glass was starting to give, cracks were appearing left and right but it couldn't seem to break it. Eventually it got sedated and was dragged back to where it came from. I breathed a sigh of relief. I relaxed and saw the television screen light up. "Subject 626: Codename Slingshot prepare to engage." I laughed at the poor fool. He was going to face a robotic chainsaw pegasus. I immediately stopped laughing when I saw my glass door open. "Fuck me."
Chapter 2: EscapeBit of a Rainbow Factory reference in this. Still gives me nightmares. I was shaking all over as I stepped out the safety of my cell. I was going to die of course i was scared, I was just a normal pegasus pony. Nothing special, I didn't have explosive powers like Kamikaze, I didn't melt things into darkness like Darkside, I wasn't a hulking beast like Knuckledragger, nor did I have super strength like Juggernaut...... Wait, Juggernaut might be the opposite of me, so if he's super strong...... I stood there, the robotic pegasus could slice me in half no problem, I stared in it's red glowing eyes, it buzzed it's chainsaw wings and charged. I waited and flew out of the way no problem, I didn't know how fast I went but I felt a tonne of G force, a clear indication that I had traveled in great speeds. I watched as the robot pegasus charged at where I once stood, he crashed into Kamikaze's cell door. Kamikaze jumped and complained. I chuckled and flew over to kick it. I kicked it alright but it definitely hurt me more than it hurt him. I felt my hoof go sore, I had to think of something, I spotted a crack on the wall. I could break that and give myself permanent brain damage, or I could stay here and spend my whole life doing "test" I thought about it for a while and decided to escape. I calmed myself down first, i had all the time in the world, the stupid robot pegasus couldn't reach me anyway. I was to high up, I prepared myself for the headache of the century and flew as fast as i could. I smashed through the wall and was instantly engulfed in sunshine. "FREEDOOOOOO- OWWWWW!" I felt the pain all around my body, I looked back at the creepy warehouse I had just escaped from, freedom was so close, I just have to fly away, but I had a strong urge to go back and release the one they call Juggernaut. There were alarms blaring and everypony was running around in panic. Let's see, I could fly back and save my possibly evil twin, or fly away and enjoy life. Decisions. In a matter of seconds I was back in the warehouse and was searching for Juggernaut's cell. I found his cell, but he was nowhere to be found. His glass door had been shattered, I assumed he had escaped without my help. "Great. I just wasted my time to come save somepony only to find out he esca-" I couldn't finish the last few words of my sentence. I felt electricity flow through me as I fell to the floor and collapsed. Black spots were dancing around my eyes, my great escape had failed miserably. I woke up and found myself strapped to a steel table, I saw two ponies by my side, their backs were turned to me. One of them was grey and had a black mane. The other pony was yellow with red hair, she had her nurse's cap on. "-shame that he has to go so soon." The doctor sighed "Yea, he had so much potential." "I wouldn't blame him though, if I was in one of those cell's i'd want to leave too." "He could've made it, why'd he come back?" "Probably came back to save his brother Juggernaut." "Well, blood is thicker than water." "But it's a shame that Juggernaut escaped too. He didn't seem all that bad." "I knew giving a pony super strength was a bad idea." The nurse nodded in agreement, they continued and discussed about the various other ponies that were in the arena. Suddenly, I heard them talk about me and where I was going to. "We could send him to the Rainbow Factory." The nurse suggested "ARE YOU MAD WOMAN!?" "But-" "No soul, good or bad deserves punishment that bad!" "Then, where do we send him?" "We could put him down now, it'll be painless." "Fine." "WAIT!" I yelled The ponies turned around and saw me struggling in my bonds. "Then what do you suggest?" "Let me go." "Are you crazy!?" "What? Did I say something wrong?" "I'd rather send you to the Rainbow Factory!" "Why not?" "The director will have my butt if he finds out I let you go!" "Then leave, nopony's forcing you to work here." The doctor pondered the thought for a while and pushed a button. A giant saw blade popped out from the ceiling and made it's way towards me. I squirmed as hard as I could, but it was no use, death was in the bag for me. "I'm sorry." The doctor muttered I braced myself for the blade to cut right through me, instead it moved to the side and cut my restraints. I got up and stretched my wings, ready to take off. I gave the doc a salute, he responded with a simple nod. I spread my wings and took off, flying through the corridors, ponies scattered left and right as I tried to find a way out, I found a lab and busted in. I saw an emergency exit. Among other things that is. I saw a steel table with a pony on it, he had his wings taken off, he wore an expression of fear, the gashes where the wings were supposed to be was gushing blood, a stray tendon hung out of it. I stared in horror and moved on slowly. The next table had a mare on it, she was a mangled mess, a stray rib bone poked out the side of her chest, her leg was impaled through her head, where her right eye was supposed to be, a hoof poked out of it. Her arms were twisted and outstretched, her face wore and expression of insanity, her face was bathed in blood, her stomach had guts and flesh being showcased. I closed my eyes and crashed through the door, I was engulfed in sunlight as I took off, hoping to stay somewhere far far far away from from that twisted demented lab.
