I told you to go right
Stuff happened before this that I can't write because of a lack of a Gore tag.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOur captors ushered us into the wedding hall, our attempt to capture the Elements failing and resulting in our own capture by the enemy. Chrysalis smirked in her usual evil way; launching into a speech and song was next. All 12 of us, Rock included, sighed, and looked down in the presence of Princess Cadence. We'd failed her.
"Well, shit." I finally said aloud, gaining a stern shove from a nearby Changeling. I shot him/it a death glare, before smiling at him. "Hey, you know what morgue your friends are going to? I'll sign the coffins, yours and theirs, man." Despite that one Changeling being dealt with, the others would easily overpower us. Queen Chrysie stopped glaring at us, and smiled in a way that said she had an idea.
"Well," she began, pacing ahead of us, "Since I win, the metaphorical rules state that I can do with the losers as I please, correct?"
"Well-" Twilight began, before Inferno placed a hoof over her mouth.
"Continue." The small Pegasus swallowed.
"As I was saying, I can do with you as I please. Now, I understand you are all couples, correct?"
"Yes." came the group reply from 8 of us. 4 of us remained silent, me included. Chrysalis smirked. "Excellent. Then it has been settled; I'll feed on your love for each other, and provide food for the Changelings in the process. Now then: You." She pointed a hoof at Solar. He looked terrified, before planting his hooves in the ground.
"Fuck you." he snarled. Instead, he was levitated forward sharply, and I witnessed something horrific. Chrysalis placed her horn onto his forehead, and began to siphon...pink from him. The colour gradually left the stallion, his screams falling on deaf ears as the insect-bitch absorbed his love for Applejack. The mare herself was crying, trying to push past Changelings that were stronger than her in a futile attempt to save the guy. The rest of us were frozen in shock, unable to fucking move. Finally, Chrysalis laughed, and dropped the near-lifeless body of Solar on the floor. He was still breathing. Alive. But not for long. She kicked him once, throwing him down the stairs to the hard marble floor, and we all quickly ran over.
"SHIT, SOLAR!" I heard Rainbow yell. We crowded round the unicorn, making sure he was still alive. But not Rock, AJ, and I. Oh, hell no. We weren't going to stand around and let her siphon that much energy from a friend, let alone a pony. Applejack had the fires of a million of Celestia's favourite Chilli Powder grains in her eyes, which was fucking terrifying. I considered drawing my spare revolver, but then I remembered Skipped Beat had it. Speaking of which, where was he?
Instead, the first thing I grabbed was my butterfly knife. Quickly, I drew it, flipped it open, and drove it into the throat of the nearest guard...
Yeah, this next bit's censored.
Y'know, legal issues, admins, mods, and stuff.
And no gore tag.
I should really put that bloody thing in.
...once I was finished with them, I faced the Queen. She looked unimpressed by the minor injuries I had issued to her guards, but they had to back off, so I won that one. She rolled her eyes, ignited her horn, and summoned...a wrench. A wrench...?
"You went Spy, I shall go Engineer. Let us settle this minor dispute in the manner similar to Texas." she sighed, twirling the black steel spanner in an aura. She summoned a hard-hat, and span it around on her head, before grinning in an aggressive manner. I was amazed she made that reference, and I was tempted to go up and literally ravage her mouth with my tongue for it, but then I understood my job: Face-Stab. While Everypony else stood back, I had my small knife out, and lunged forward, before ramming the blade into her chest. She winced slightly, then looked at the small injury. I did it again, she flinched slightly, before deciding to smack the side of my head with her wrench. Shame it wasn't a Jag, because that wouldn't have hurt as much.
My whole world went blurry, and I was thrown out of a window, as far as I can remember. Thankfully, luck was on my side at that point because I'd probably bought him a few beers or somethin', because I was thrown straight into a nearby pond.
The same pond that acted as a hidden exit from the labs beneath Canterlot. I mentally wished my friends good luck, and began to swim down the tunnel.
The moment I came out the other end, I realised I had made a mistake: My mechanical wings would be unusuable for a while, so I sighed loudly.
"Fuck." I groaned, sitting down on a nearby bench. A red warning light was my only company besides the sound of screaming down the tunnels. After a while, that lowered to only one yell, before that abruptly went silent as well. I swallowed hard, and moved quietly down the steel tunnel. I didn't dare call for help. Just as I reached the central corridor, a voice broke over the speakers.
"Hallo?!" I heard a familiar voice gasp. "This is Doktor Schadenfreude! Thunder, can you hear me?"
"Aye, I can hear you, Dok!" I called back out. A relieved sigh came over the speaker.
"Oh, danke Faust...Listen, mein freunde. There's been a containment breach. Some of the control room operators turned out to be Changelings, and opened the door to Container 038. You'll want to get to my office, fast. A few of us scientists have survived here for a few hours, and...Lulu's here." My heart froze. Why the hell would Lulu be down here? The sound of Medic's signature yell was heard, and Luna came over the line.
"Thunder?!" came a sudden female voice that I cherished. "Thunder, you're alive?! Thank Faust! Listen, we're in Dok's office. About 20 of us. Those Changelings opened the container of some of the most dangerous creatures in Equestria; Angels. I can get Doctor Whooves to explain how to avoid the-" Luna was shoved away audibly over the speaker, and a voice like David Tennant came over the speakers.
"The Angels are coming for you, but listen, your life, your whole life could depend on this: don't blink. The Angels are fast, faster than you can imagine! So don't look away, don't ignore them, and DON'T. BLINK." The speakers went absolutely silent, and the only sound was the sound of distant alerts.
"...good luck."
Author's Note
Played Slender Fortress 2 this week. First map: sl_weepers. Fucking Weeping Angels snapped my neck seconds before I reached the escape TARDIS.
And yes, I find the Weeping Angels to be fucking terrifying.
Shut up.
