What a great day...

When I woke up, I got up, went outside with my pickaxe and shreds and felt like chopping up some ponies. After a long break, it's really fun.

Only problem was that there was nopony around. Seriously, it was like a ghost town. I picked up a news paper and noticed, that I have gotten some fame here.

Of course, I couldn't even finish reading the paper before I was attacked by a gang of six ponies, mostly colts but one mare. I noticed that they all shared the same skin color, red.

All of them were wielding nothing, but came at me with bare hoofs. Fighting them was really easy. The first one's head I was able to smash into the ground with surprisingly good force, and shattered his skull, one I killed with my pickaxe and rest with my bare hands

One had their eyes popped out and a pickaxe stuck in his guts. Man, it was a mess. They didn't put up a very good fight though, I was just able to beat the shit out from them until they fell unconscious and then I would stomp and kick them to death.

One of them had a note. A note talking about my assassination. There was no signature, so i'm not sure who it was.  Maybe somepony survived from the Mane 6? That would be an awful twist I though to myself.

Continuing reading the news paper, I found out that they had a quite searching for me. Every possible place was searched, but surprisingly, nopony found me. That command was given out by Princess Luna apparently, she wanted a revenge.

All of the sudden I heard commands being given from nearby. Luna put out another search group trying to look for me. I threw the corpses into a trash pile and hid with them. Five, maybe nine different ponies dressed in pale, white masks that only had small holes for eyes. Once again, they had a red skin color.

One of the colts saw the blood and guts left from the other assassins while passing by. He told the team to move on as he would check what the problem was. Weird thing was, he couldn't pronounce some of the letters correctly. He came to the alleyway and checked every pile of trash there was.

When he came up to the bodies, I acted quick and shut his mouth before he was able to say anything. I quickly took my pickaxe and shoved it through his face. Even though it did penetrate his head, he came back up and hit me in the face. It's been a long time since i have felt that. I quickly took my shreads and shoved them through his neck, which killed him.

I took off the mask and was surprised. It wasn't a pony, it looked more like a mutation of a pony. The skin had been clearly ripped of at some point, but it looked like some bits and pieces of it had been put back together. He had no lips, which probably explains why he couldn't pronounce some letters. His eyes looked somewhat regular, expect the pupils were very small.

This is when I figured out that I'm probably not just dealing with regular ponies. Hell, they are probably going to send something worse over soon. I heard running coming to this direction. The other ones probably heard us fight. I prepared myself for a difficult battle.

There were eight of those things standing next to me, ready to attack. On this small time of silence, I noticed that they all had somewhat injured hoofs, with pieces of skin ripped off and put together again. I finally decided to start the fight as I slashed one of their throats open. The fight had begun.

Rest of them attacked me with all force they had. Three of them charged towards me as the rest came from my back and sides. One of them jumped on my back and tried to knock me out by hitting me in the head with a bottle i suppose he found just now.

I quickly grabbed him and threw him at the three charging ones. The one I threw hit his head on the ground pretty hard and was unconscious. Two ponies attacked me from both sides. I was able to hit one of them with my pickaxe through the head, which injured him but didn't kill him.

The other pony tried to strangle me from behind when i wounded the other one, but he was quickly in critical condition when I rushed back first at a wall a couple times. He was seemed to be vomiting blood, after he let go, but I couldn't really tell because of the masks.

I couldn't even think what to do next, when the other four were on my back and front, beating the shit out from me. One of them woke up and attacked me too. I still had my shreads, so I shoved it through his chest. His organs wouldn't let go of my shreads, so when I pulled it out, most of his guts came with it too. Rest of them were quite easy to kill after that, because they were getting hopeless and tired.

I threw my shreads away and started fighting with my fists. It was a long fight, but ultimately ended up on me winning. I was tired and wounded after the battle. Blood, guts and corpses were everywhere and I was also covered in blood. I sat down on the alley to relax a little, when i noticed a big, dark pony coming up to me and many red skinned ponies behind her. It was Luna and the rest of her troops.

Luna gave them a command to capture me. They came up to me and hit me with a heavy metal club and i fell unconscious.

All i heard then was Luna saying :

"Export him to my castle, DON'T let him escape this time!"
