Murdering Those Six in a Horrific Bloodbath

Now that I've grabbed your attention. . .

I'm not killing anyone.

I've put a lot of thought into this ordeal, but with my epic story Manewar finally seeming to be ready to rush to the front lines like a raging Celt, I have only minor tweaks to be added to all of my scenes. Unfortunately for me, and everyone's eyes, I don't have a great way with words. And when a writer isn't completely brilliant with words, his views seem to slow down at the 500 mark.

What I need to ask of you, if you're willing to help me, is this:

The six ponies that have infected every youtuber's lives with love and compassion are going to face the toughest shit in my story, to say the least. No, I didn't mean I'm going to cut them up numerous times. Even though it's a violent story filled with glorious bloodshed, the "Mane Six" mostly get their problems that hurt them more so from the inside out. What I need to know, is what makes readers feel the urgency of the moment? What makes you feel the weight of the scenario? makes you think the heroes couldn't possibly walk away from this, that the villain (for once) will win?

Please help me. I'll add these thoughts to your head to help you feel more compassionate:
Children;

Small sparrows that can't even fly yet;
Small lambs with hurt legs;
The fact that the Bionicle plot ended with everyone dying;
Shrek will never come back;
T2 died;
So did Sarah Connor;
So did John;
Delicious sliced pickles falling from your hand to the dirty floor;
When you order Pepsi, they only have Coka-Cola;
When you order Coka-Cola, they only have Pepsi;
Handsome Jack will totally return. it's called a New-U.
