//------------------------------// // Slaughter // Story: when slenderman left me in paradise // by Jimbob //------------------------------// [Knight] {Me} “Come on QUEEN! Surely you can do better than this!” she had sent a wave of changeling to attempt to stop me from reaching her. Now I was just covered in a sickly green blood that flowed from over half a dozen impaled changelings. I jumped towards her again as she sent a blasted of magic into my chest. I shot backwards and into the stone wall cracking it. “THAT’S MORE LIKE IT!” I laughed as I charged her again. She sent a blast of magic at me, which I dodged and brought my sword up in an uppercut swing. She jumped to the side almost dodging my blade. “AAAAAAHHHHHH” she screamed out in pain as I cut off one of her wings. The insect-like wing crumbled into dust as I ground my heel into it. “GUARDS SEIZE HIM!” I looked up and saw dozens of ponies of multiple colors charging me. I hesitated for a split second as part of me tried to stop me from harming innocent ponies. The lead pony jumped and my and latched its fangs into my arm, rekindling my anger. Dozens of dark blades shot out of shadows impaling anything in front of me. Some of the changelings took to the air just in time to dodge my blades. I flew up to meet them. I swung my talon like hands at the nearest one and cut through his ribcage. Changelings kept pouring into the room but now I had a plan. Hands began to appear from shadows; they clawed at the ground and pulled themselves out. When they were all the way they were bipedal creatures that were hunched over with long talons for hands. They charged into the changelings leave carnage in their wake. “Now then where were we Queen?” I turned around and was hit with another bolt of magic. I flew into the wall causing some of the walls too fall out besides me. I threw a hunk of wall at her which she destroyed with a blast of magic. She peered through the dust looking for me. I slammed into her from the side driving my hunting knife deep into her side. She bucked me into the air where I quickly recovered. The queen was lying on the ground attempting to get up. “You disappoint me Queen; you couldn’t even fight me on your own. You simply wasted my time. Enjoy the afterlife you’ve earned” at this I summoned dozens of dark barbwire tendrils that latched too her legs. I turned towards Celestia, as I tuned out the screams coming from behind me. “Now then Celestia I think it’s quite time for me to end you. Quite ironic really if you hadn’t taken me to the dungeon none of this would be happening.” As I walked towards her I couldn’t help but notice the fear growing in her eyes, like a lamb to the slaughter. I was nearly next to her now I raised my sword planning on beheading her. *CRACK* Pain. It felt like my head was splitting in half I collapsed to the ground holding my head screaming. Voices screamed inside my head. One was telling me to kill everything regardless of the consequence; the other was saying that I was not myself and would never hurt innocent ponies. I focused on both these voices and they began to fade away. Slowly the shadows flowed off of me and into my shadow. I looked down at myself I was back to normal. I looked behind me. Carnage, utter carnage the shadows were still standing there as if waiting for my order to continue the slaughter, except there was nothing left to slaughter blood covered everything. You could barely make out any signs that there had been opposing force just bits of black flesh sticking to the walls. I waved my hand at the shadows which folded in on themselves and flew towards nearby shadows. I looked back at Celestia who was now struggling to get out of her cocoon. She caught me looking at her and she stopped her struggles. “What stop you from killing me?” “Concern yourself with your own problems” I walked towards the window with the intention to jump out and fly away. Except half-way there I stumbled; I was feeling so weak and drain. I fell to my knees and tried to get back up. I guess that’s what did it because then I blacked out falling face first into a puddle of blood. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I was floating around in a sea of whiteness. I had no idea where I was or how I had gotten there. “HELLO?” my voice echoed around the whiteness. And too my surprise a loud voice boomed back. “Ahh you have awaken” maybe I don’t really know. “I guess, umm where am I exactly?” “You’re in your subconscious” okay so I’m not dead yay~ “Ok so what does that make you? My inner angel or some such bullshit?” to my surprise he chuckled. “I am none of these thing and it would be best if didn’t concern yourself with who I am yet.” “Said the voice talking to me in my subconscious” he chuckled again. “Just trust me for the time being; now there is a reason for me contacting you.” “And pray tell what would your great news be oh wise and powerful voice in my head?” at least my inner smartass was still coming back. “You have been chosen for a great task.” “Nah my plate is kinda full with the whole Princess thinks I’m a threat to Equestria.” And I’m lazy. He chuckled again, why is my life so damn funny to him. “Don’t worry about the Princess being upset with you we’ll take care of that. But as for your task you have been chosen to defend Equestria from those who wish too do it harm.” Wait WHAT?! “I’m sorry I must have lost my mind there for a second, could you run that by me again?” “You, Jake, have been chosen, or selected, to be the defender, or protector if you prefer, of Equestria.” “No, thanks for the offer though.” A/N: Two chapter in one day?! well alrighty then, and don't think Jake is over the carnage he caused yet.He still doesn't know exactly what he slaughtered or why
