//------------------------------// // Come Get Some // Story: The Burning Of Ponyville. // by heavy weapons brony //------------------------------// Doom,..a curious word. Meaning fate or to come to a decision of one fate. This doom came down to the fate of not just one life, put the life of all of Equestria. For when the gates of hell opened in the small town of Ponyville one hero emerged. The it was this hero, who decided the fate of all the ponies of Equestria. It started on a summer day like any other, and as simple as the sentence itself. The pits of Hell exploded through ponyville, immediately plunging it into chaos in mere seconds. The first person of significance to our hero’s story who was there when the Ponyville gate opened was the residential princess Twilight Sparkle. The horde of demons wasted no time in dispatching her, a simple tear through the door and a flash of claws later ended her life. Spilling her blood on her favorite tome about modern politics. It ended her life, but not her significance to the story. Twilight’s Post mortem experience was just as curious as the word Doom itself, she was first surrounded by darkness mixed with the sensation of falling. After just a few seconds she felt herself fall onto a stone surface , but no pain. Just the feeling of her body being crushed by the impact. She lifted herself, noticing that her body had become significantly heavier, most of the power she felt flow through her had been drained. But low energy was far from the worst thing she experienced. He eyes adjusted to the darkness and what she saw would haunt her for the rest of her existence. Twilight was face to face with an endless sea of fire, surrounded by stone cliffs. And in this sea where the forms of millions of suffering ponies, all crying and moaning. Some begged for answers, and some begged for forgiveness, but most just begged the question, “Why? Why? Oh Celestia why!?” Twilight was horrified, she took several steps back and bumped into something living, Twilight quickly turned and saw the last pony to be here with her. “P-P-princess Luna!? How and a Equestria did you end up here?” Twilight stammered “I was going to ask you the same thing,” Luna answered. “Princess Luna, are we,... dead?” “Not quiet I'm afraid, given the Alicorns natural immortal state death would be impossible for both of us, our physical bodies have indeed been killed but as long as our aurora remains, our souls will remain intact and we can return to the mortal plane, in due time,” “What happened?” “My sisters lust for power is what happened,” “Celestia sent those monsters!? B-but!” “I caught her with a book of very strange incantations, and a letter from a resident of Ponyville asking for blood, innocent pony blood. I Went to bed that night only slightly suspicious, but my suspicions were confirmed when I awoke to my own sister slitting my throat in the middle at night. With that in mind we can conclude that my sister has set some sort of plan into motion.” This was a lot of information for Twilight to process, her mind spun around a few laps before she asked the first thing that she could from her lips to sound. “Where are we then?” Twilight asked. “Hell, to put in bluntly,” Luna answered. Twilight then swung her head to observe her surroundings, “How do we get out?” “Returning to the mortal plane is usually fickle business, and I suspect my Sister is behind my inability to do it,” Twilight then caught notice of a strange occurrence, she observed atop the one cliff a steady stream of ponies falling from the black void that served as the sky. She squinted and soon recognized the colors of the ponies, then a cutie marks, then the faces. Twilight pointed a hoof and shouted,” Princess Luna! I recognize those ponies, they're all from Ponyville! what are they doing here?” “Those I’m afraid, are the new arrivals to this place,” When what that meant for those ponies dawned on Twilight, she froze, then slowly turned to Luna. “Is there anything we can do for them?” Twilight asked. “There is one thing, we are not completely powerless in this world. We will-,” Luna stopped herself as two sections of the nearby cliff face cracked, and magically floated upward revealing a demon. The Demon was about 18 feet tall and bipedal, he had 6 foot long horns as black as night and skin red as blood, without a word he reached out a hand and took hold of both Princesses. The minute the Demons fingers wrapped around Twilight, he nearly blacked out, she was immediately overcome with fatigue and limply bounced in the creatures hand. Meanwhile on the mortal plane, things weren't going so good. Ponyville was being destroyed by the never ending denizens of Hell, Ponies fell to the ground brutally murdered, others ran furthering the confusion. demons rushed everywhere, killing all they could. Some killed to feed their newfound hunger while others killed just for the sick kick of it. And this is where the story of our hero officially began. Flying through the crowd and dodging claws and teeth from rampaging monsters was our hero, the community's premier mail-mare, the wal-eyed Derpy Whooves. “Dinky!-Dinky!, where are you!?” Derpy shouted into the crowd, she quickly gained altitude as a demon as big as your local gorilla jumped up with his mouth wide, Derpy quickly avoided him, leaving behind some golden blonde hair strands in his teeth. "Over Here!" Dery then caught a glimpse of gray, her heart filled with hope as she dived next an overturned cart. “Dinky!” Derp shouted, relieved she found her daughter. The huddling mass of gray filly stood still, shivering with fright. “Dinky, Muffin, Come to mommy and everything will be alright.” Encouraged, Dinky crawled out from under the cart and met eyes with her mother. “Mo-” Was all the filly could get out when a giant black leather winged Demon fell from the sky and smashed the cart, it snatched the little filly into one of its claws. “NOOO!” Derpy charged the demon, but was stopped by its other set of claws, being sharp as razors and strong as steel they sunk into Derpys chest. At first Derpy felt no pain, but just a shortness of breath. The pain came when the demon there her onto the ground, Derpy mustered her dying strength and lifted her head to face the demon. Dinky failed in the demon’s grasp, screaming her head off. The demon gave a annoyed look and crushed the fillies body abruptly ending her screams of terror and threw the body next to her mothers. Dinky landed next to Derpy, her partly crushed face showing, Derpy looked deep into the gray lifeless eyes of her daughter. She choked as a slew of blood spilled out of her mouth, then layed back. Taking comfort in the fact that she would be joining her soon. Twilight awoke with a start, she was hanging in a dark circular room, hanging off the wall by a set of shackles. Opposite to her was Luna who was conscious and repeatedly lighting her horn, only for it to fizzle out immediately. “Are you trying to find a way out?” Twilight asked. “No, I’m trying to find a soul in ponyville who hasn't died yet,” “Why?” “Because if we find one alive and pure of heart nearby, we can give them the power to fight this,” Luna's horn lighted up and stayed lit, “Quick! match your magic resonance with mine!” Twilight quickly lit up her horn, the light stayed solid and both Alicorns casted a powerful spell whose light could be sine across the fields of Hell. The flying demon circled the bodies of the mare and the filly, seriously considering devouring them when he found that after a particular large *Bang! all of his internal organs had,...fallen out somehow. The demon fell to the ground, mortally wounded. And over the corpse of the mangled filly stood a mare. She had grey fur, a red tank top, two ammo belts across her chest, a pair of dark sunglasses hiding her wal-eyes, a short cigar hanging from her mouth, a short blond flat top, and a large 12 gauge pump action shotgun in her hooves. Thus, Derp Nukem was born. Derp looked down at the body of her mangled daughter, then the scene of chaos before her. Derp furrowed her brow and let out a breath of cigar smoke. “Who wants some?”
