//------------------------------// // The Hunt // Story: Termination // by GGizmo64 //------------------------------// Walking around the halls of Canterlot High, fully aware a being from lord knows where, to murder you feel uneasy. First period was quiet, almost eerie. None of the mane seven bothered to speak to anyone, still recovering from the shock of the night before. "Twilight, can you give me the answer to this problem?" Her math teacher asked her. Twilight meanwhile was caught up in her thoughts, for obvious reasons. "Twilight?" "Oh, uh the answer is 36.7 after rounding to the nearest tenth." "Correct anyone know how she-" She was cut off by the bell of the announcements, "Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, please report to the front office," Principle Celestia's voice boomed through out the room. "I repeat: Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, please report to the front office." While all of them hesitant, they were all excused from class and walked through the empty halls of the school. "What do you think will happen to us?" Twilight asked. "Think she saw the news?" Dash questioned back. "Seems likely." They went silent as the approached the principles office. Sunset opened the door to see Principle Celestia and Vice-Principle Luna talking to a man in a police uniform. "You don't have you worry, they'll be in safe hands." The man said to their principle. "Oh, here they are now." With a sight of relief, they all walked into the office and took a seat. The man introduced himself as Kyle Reese, and he's there on the behave of Witness Protection. "We'll temporarily relocate you all somewhere safe until that man, thing is found." "Oh thank heavens!" Rarity sighed. "Oh, do you mind stepping out while I go over a few things with your Principle?" The seven girls complied and walked out the door to the hall. "Alright, what do we-" She was interrupted by the two officers walking to her office. "Hello Principle Celestia, we're with-" The man cut himself off, curious seeing how he wasn't aware that anyone would've shown up before they did, and it didn't help he looked slightly similar to the killer that recently surfaced. "Ma'am who is this?" Kyle quickly and instinctively pulled out a gun. Specifically a SIG Pro Pistol, fully loaded, and shot the two officers dead. He then turned to Celestia. "If you value your life," Kyle started. "You'll won't intervene." Celestia remained quiet. "Alright girls, you can come back in." He spoke out in a calm tone. As they walked back in, Kyle pointed his second pistol at them. "Time's up." He said before attempting to fire the weapon, Celestia jumped out from behind her desk at Kyle, pushing his arm down, negating the attack. "GIRLS RUN!" She commanded. The mane 7 did as they were told and ran down the hall. Kyle pushed Celestia off of him and walked over to the PA microphone. "Don't even try to outrun me, your wasting your time, and know this:" Kyle spoke in a deep emotionless tone. The girls stopped running paraylzed with fear. "I can't be reasoned with. I can't be bargained with. I don't feel pity, remorse or fear...and I will not stop. Ever. Until you seven are dead." The girls didn't know how to process this, the man, thing, whatever it was, was in the school, fully aware of where they were and very capable of killing them. "Well," Sunset started. "What we do now?" "I highly suggest we run," Rarity managed. "Probably as far from here as possible." "That thing will still find us!" Dash told her. "You heard what it said!" "Well maybe it was a scare tactic." Twilight said. Their argument would have to wait as they heard the sound of a door slammed from down the hall, Kyle walked out with his Colt SMG in his hands. Kyle's body reshaped itself to re-obtain his original form, only now with glowing blood red eyes. "Oh crap." Dash muttered. "Girls," AJ managed. "I think it's about time we high tail it outta here!" "Running won't save you!" Kyle boomed. "It will only delay the inevitable!" The mane 7 ran through the halls. Upon hearing the lunch bell go off, students began to flood the hall. The girls took seized the opportunity to hide, had not Kyle fired his weapon to the ceiling. Everyone froze, no one dared move, let alone breath. "Move," Kyle spoke coldly. "Now." The students listened and created a path for him to take a shot at his seven targets. Kyle sprinted forward. Students began to run towards the exit, wanting nothing to do with the whole ordeal. Then there are the students who began to film everything on their phones, For obvious reasons. Kyle raised his pistols at the mane seven, right before he could fire his weapon, Flash Sentry leaped from the crowd and tackled him to the ground, instead of just pushing him off, Kyle decided to show everyone what he's truly capable of. His body began to phase, the machine "cells" phased through Flash knocking him back up with each wave of metal striking him. The onlookers watched on. After taking on a human-like shaped mist, he spoke again. "Do you want do that again?" "Girls get outta h-" Kyle's arm solidified, through his cheat, "They aren't going anywhere." Kyle announced before retracting his now fully blood soaked arm from Flash's now lifeless body. "Anyone else?"
