Act I: Psychotic Hunter

"YOU THINK YOU CAN DISRESPECT ME?! YOU WANNA FUCK WITH ME?! HUH, SKY?! I KILLED YOUR BEST FRIEND AND YOUR LOVE, YOU DON'T THINK I CAN DO THE SAME TO YOU?! COME ON, BITCH! THROW A PUNCH!!!"

Sky could barely lift his legs due to the amount pain on his back. Overnight, he and the unicorn Star Pelted had managed to break free of their bonds. But, when they'd attempted to free Fluttershy and Wheater, Vaas had caught them. He'd thrown the four of them in a cage and tortured them with his words until morning. Vaas had told them to stay put while he thought of a punishment. It in about an hour, Vaas returned, carrying a ten tailed bone whip. When the prisoners asked where he got it, Vaas looked at Sky and smiled, "Don't recognize 'em? Why it's Dark Mane and Lavender! Yes, I turned your comrades' corpses into a weapon, bravo, encore!"

Vaas began to laugh, but when he noticed the others weren't, he got up in Sky's face and menacingly grabbed the stallion's throat and lifted him up.

"YOU CHICKEN FUCK! WHY WON'T YOU LAUGH WITH ME!? AM I NOT THAT ENTERTAINING?! DON'T YOU LIKE ME?! FUCK YOU, HORSE!"

Vaas threw Sky to the ground and opened the cage. He drug the pegasus out to the large tree stump in the middle of the camp and tied Sky down.

"I'VE DECIDED YOUR PUNISHMENT, DICKWAD! Now, I'll give you a chance before every swing: Do you fear me?"

Sky turned his head to face Vaas, then spat on the ground in disgust, "Fu- Fuck you."

Vaas apparently went back on his previous decision, as he beat Sky one hundred times with the bone whip. Now, the royal guard's back had turned meat red, blood dripping from several wounds. Even though guards were trained to endure pain if they got hurt, this hurt like HELL. But, of course, Vaas enjoyed every minute of it.

"ARE YOU HURT?! DO YOU NEED A FUCKING TISSUE TO CRY INTO?! HERE!", Vaas kicked dirt in Sky's bloody face, then looked the gray pegasus in the eye, "Sky, I swear to God man, I love the amount of strength you're putting into this shit. But you're gonna lose, you'll die, the others will die and I'll carry on, so let me ask you: why do you continue to fight it?"

The question was actually the first thing Vaas had said to Sky that comforted him somewhat. But, nevertheless, Vaas was a psychopath, so Sky couldn't stay comforted forever.

"So I can protect the ones I care about from ponies like you."

Vaas chuckled, "Well, you failed with two of them."

Vaas knelt down next to Sky's bloodied body. "Let me tell you something: I'm gonna put a hole in Fluttershy's head, like I did to Lavender."

Vaas drug Sky back into the cage, then motioned to the other prisoners, "Let me show you fuckers how I deal with uncooperative slaves."

Vaas pushed the large Earth pony, Wheater out into the camp and slammed the door to the cage behind him. Then, he whistled. Wheater simply looked back to the other prisoners with a look of sorrow. But, his focus was lost when a loud metal cling filled the air....and when a sharp pain hit his gut.

Wheater looked down, his gut looked fine. Then, his coat turned a darker color. Wheater's eyes widened when he realized the liquid was blood. But things got even worse, as the air directly in front of him began to fizzle, until it revealed a perverted bone spear, protruding from his gut.

Wheater fell to his back. His blood leaking out onto the ground. He could hear Vaas scolding the other prisoners, however so faint.

"YOU SEE?! THIS IS WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS WHEN YOU BASTARDS TRY TO FUCK WITH ME! Now, I'm gonna chill...."

Wheater couldn't hear anything more, as the cold touch of death hit him, and he slipped out of consciousness....

00000

Fluttershy could barely handle it when Vaas had nearly beaten Sky to death, so when the spear hit Wheater and the large stallion fell over and died, Fluttershy almost cried. Then, of course, Vaas laughed at the misfortune.

"YOU SEE?! THIS IS WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS WHEN YOU BASTARDS TRY TO FUCK WITH ME! Now, I'm gonna chill, but I want you three to meet a few people. Saw! Claw! Maw! Get the fuck out here!"

For a minute, nothing happened. Then, similar to the spear, three figures materialized.

Fluttershy and Sky recognized them immediately: they were Changelings. But these were....different. First of all, their eyes weren't blue like the ones who attacked Canterlot, these were red. These also were slightly larger than Chrysalis's followers. Each looked different too. One wore a sleeveless, black vest and a doo-rag. Another wore a perverted version of the royal guard armor, and the other wore nothing but two metal shoulder pads; this one also had a large scar across its face.

The one in the guard armor walked up to the cage and eyed the prisoners, then, spoke in a cold, dry voice.

"These will be perfect for the Queen, you've been a great partner with our race, Vaas."

Vaas chuckled, "Where's the money?"

The Changeling turned to Vaas, "You be able to swim in bits once we tell our Queen and bargains with Celestia, it may take some time, but you'll be the richest stallion in Equestria!"

The Changelings and Vaas continued to talk, paying no attention to the prisoners, so Sky took his chance and turned to Fluttershy and Star Pelted.

"Alright, it's only a matter of time until Queen Chrysalis and the other Changelings get here. Apparently, Vaas is in cohorts with them. How do I know that, well yes, those are Changelings, but not just any, those are Changeling Elites, the special guards of Chrysalis. They haven't been seen in centuries, until now. But, anyway, I've gotta plan, follow along, cause we're getting the hell out of here."

Author's Note

Yeah, another rushed chapter, sorry if you didn't like it, I'll try to do better next time.

Vaas is working WITH the Changelings, similar to how he did with Hoyt in FC 3. Don't worry, by Act III, Vaas will start murdering Changelings just like ponies, so, yeah....

Anything you wanna know? Just ask.
