//------------------------------// // Little Horsies! Rainbow Sparkles! // Story: Psycho // by Bishibosh the Shaman //------------------------------// Psycho Chapter Two Krieg sat, and he sat, and he sat... He sat there for hours and he was getting really bored. He already pondered why he is now, partly, sane. Maybe this was just his own happy place? It sure seemed happy. Peaceful really, a place a guy could get lost in. He decided to lay back and try to nap a bit longer before the pegasus arrived with 'help'. Was he really so strange to them? Horses were uncommon on Pandora but people still knew of them. Perhaps humans were just rare on this planet? Krieg set his head on the flowing grass and shut his eyes. It had been a long time since he felt so relaxed. It was always blood this, meat that. Deciding it was time to forget the past for a minute, he took a nap. "Is it alive?" "I don't know, it was talking to me when I left. Maybe it's asleep." "Well wake it up!" "Why me? You can wake him too." "Ugh... you saved him! fine..." Krieg felt a nudge on his side, lifting his head up to the sight of the pegasus and a purple... unicorn? He was definately watching what the beast put in his mouth from now on. The purple unicorn was prodding at his hip until he finally leaned up. He stared at both the horses and just sighed. "Hi there, are you ok?" the purple one asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little dizzy. So what exactly are you?" Krieg responded "I'll assume you want my name also, I'm Twilight Sparkle. I'm also a unicorn." "I gathered..." "And this is Rainbow Dash who you already met. She is a pegasus." "Yes I know, she told me." "So who... and what, are you?" "My name is Krieg, I'm a psy... uh... human. I guess." "Human... ok, how did you end up here?" "I really don't have any idea. I'm technically not even supposed to exist I think." "What do you mean?" "Nothing, so where am I anyways?" The two ponies explained to Krieg that he was in Equestria. They could only assume his understanding behind that mask, and when they suggested he remove the mask... he was hesitant. "Can you remove the mask for us? It would make this a little easier." Twilight asked. "NO! I mean... no... I can't take it off..." Krieg responded. "Why? is it that important?" "No... I mean yes... I don't know." "How can you not know if you can take off a mask?" Rainbow interrupted. "I... I don't know, I just know I need it." "Ugh... this isn't getting anywhere!" "Be patient Rainbow, Listen Krieg. Can you remember how you got here?" "No... I can't remember anything... except him..." "Who?" "Me... back on Pandora I assume." "Wait, what?" "I am two people. One is a psychotic killer, kept in check by the other. Me." "So... While he, you, is there... you are here?" "I think... it makes my head hurt thinking about it." "Rainbow... I think we need to let the princess know about him." "I'll go tell spike." Krieg woke up to an all to familiar site. He was in a cage, made of light. It was being projected out of a Hyperion constructor bot. He didn't remember much of anything before that. Hyperion overwhelmed him and somehow knocked him cold. He saw his buzz axe in a cage on the other side of the constructor. He felt empty without it. He felt empty anyways. Reaching out across the gap, he could almost grab it. It was barely out of his reach. He had to think, it was hard for him to do, always made his head hurt. Usually his thoughts were full of death and blood and murder and death! But now he had to think tactically. It hurt but he sat there and thought. If he could just get his axe, it was tossed in there on the far side of the cage. If it could somehow slide over... Krieg had an Idea. He jumped once, and the constructor tilted towards him. So he jumped again, harder. He watched as his axe slid slowly towards him as he jumped. A nearby Gun loader noticed. "ATTENTION PRISONER: CEASE YOUR JUMPING OR DIE." Krieg didn't care, he jumped again and again and again. He even started smiling at the fun. The gun loader began to turn it rifle arms towards him but before it could line up the shot, the axe slid across the cage floor and onto the back of the constructor. Krieg nabbed it up and held it for a second and laughed. He rose the axe up and swung it down as hard as he could, damaging the cage and thus disabling it. He lept from his roost on top of the bot and cleaved into the gun loaders mechanical eye, killing it. The constructor had by this time turned around and started building more loaders to overwhelm the psycho once more, but was interrupted with the buzz axe in its own red eye. The throw shattered the constructors eye and Krieg took the opportunity to reclaim his axe and run, all the time screaming mad raving about spines and death. Spike was cleaning up Twilight's morning studies when he heard knocking on the door. He ran over and opened the door to find Rainbow. "Oh hey Rainbow, where is Twilight?" Spike asked. "She is studying this thing we found. He called himself a human. Ever heard of it?" "No, I haven't. Whats it look like?" "Really tall, stands on two legs with two long arms. Kinda like you, just without the scales, tail, fire breath, spikes... oh and he is fur-less." "Uh-huh... and you are telling me this why?" "Twilight wanted you to send a message to Celestia, tell her about what we found. Maybe get an idea of what we can do for him." "Whoa, do for him? Is he friendly? I don't like new animals that are bigger than me. They are typically looking for a Spike sandwich." "I don't know how friendly he is, but he seems nice enough. Just send a letter to Celestia. Let her decide what to do." "Ok... I don't like the sound of this though..." Krieg continued his wanderings across the Pandora wastes. Clumsily walking down beaten paths, tossing his buzz axe up and catching it, dropping it more often than catching it. He kept walking until he was face to face with a large structure. It looked like a big castle fortress, and above the big doors leading in hung a sign. DAHL. He had wandered into an abandoned weapons depot. Clueless as to why it was here, the psycho cared little as to why. He was excited at what he might find. Glorious weapons, rifles, shotguns, rocket launchers! The thought excited him to no end. He kicked down the door and grinned at what he found. A gang of bandits already inside, looting the weapon stores. Krieg held up his buzz axe and looked on the ground. An ancient childs drawing. He bent down to pick it up and saw two ponies helping a small child. It was labled in crude crayon wording. To: Mom Love: Me! Krieg looked at the bandits who now had every gun pointed at him, and he smiled. He charged the bandits with his axe in hand as he screamed, this time not about death... "RAINBOW SPARKLES OF JOY!"
