Emotionless freak
Unleashed - Edited Version
The lab is in flames, broken equipment and destroyed glass scattered around the floor. Ponies’ insides lie on the floor, indicating a slaughter not too long ago. In the center of this wreckage, there is one young pegasus humanoid. He walks on two hooves and has the build of a pony. His hands and his way of walking shows that he is different from a normal pony, no matter how much he resembles one. He is very muscular. On his silver-grey skin, his spiky, blood-red mane hangs down to his ears. All he has is a chain around his neck... a chain that will save so many lives, and yet will demand others as payment. He is no ordinary pony. He is a creation of death, slayer of royalties and a force of nature. His name is... Bloodbeast.

When Bloodbeast woke up from his birthday memories, he found himself at a small lake by the edge of a forest. The bright, shining sun began to rise and let Bloodbeast take in his surrounding in more detail. The spring air and a ring of flowers surrounded the lake in a multitude of colours. A family of ducks were playing in the center of the lake and a tree cast its shadow over Bloodbeast.
It was just like his life. In the happy land of Equestria, he was the shadow that loomed over the land. He shouldn't have ever existed... and yet here he was. The thing about him was that he was emotionless, unlike everyone else. He couldn't feel anything; he was an empty shell. In return, it made him the best at what he did: killing. He was created an assassin, a murderer with no guilt or shame. The thought made him remember his birth.

"But sir, are you sure that he can be controlled?" He heard a far-off voice ask nervously.
"He's just a emotionless freak without a mind of his own. Of course we can control him." A cocky and mean sounding voice replied to the other.
"He's the perfect assassin and in our control, we can take over Equestria by just standing aside and let him do the dirty work for us."
A sudden realization struck Bloodbeast. He was being used by a power hungry freak who wanted to rule the world, and Bloodbeast didn't like that at all. A small amount of power activated his body.
"Sir, the body..." He heard the nervous one exclaim.
"What is it?!!" The cocky one asked.
"It’s alive." The nervous one freaked out as he spoke. "We need to make the changes to control him or else we're doomed."
"Shut him down, quickly!" he heard the cocky one say. Bloodbeast could now hear a taste of panic in his voice.
"I'm trying, sir..." the nervous one said as he started to push some buttons, but it was too late.
Bloodbeast opened his eyes.

He looked down at his hands. The ones he had used to murder everyone in the facility. He had snapped necks, broke skulls and ripped out hearts with just those hands. And he had no problem with it, he couldn't care less if they had a family or even a relationship. He was a bloody assassin, a machine of death that couldn't be stopped.
Bloodbeast looked down at the lake; a silver-gray face with a scar over his left eye greeted him. A guard had almost gotten him back at the facility, sneaking up on him and slashing towards his head with a knife. If Bloodbeast hadn't jumped out of the way, he wouldn't have been able to sit by the lake and look at his expressionless face right now.
"Lucky fuck," He said to himself before he picked up a t-shirt that said: ‘Who says that I have to be normal?’, and opened up a map. As he gazed around on it, he found a small town called Ponyville.
"5 miles from here, worth to check out..." he said to himself and took off towards Ponyville. If he couldn't stay there, then he sure wouldn't know where to go. He took up an iPod and put up a song as he walked through the forest path.

Pinkie Pie woke up to one of her classic predictions, her body moving before the arms began to shake. This was a rare one, it only happened once in awhile. She broke up in a smile and cheered out, "OH MY GOSH, A NEWCOMER IS COMING TO PONYVILLE!!!"

Bloodbeast sat at a bench and looked at the park. There were three young girls that tried to run over water, which only resulted in a failed dive; a vanilla and a green mint coloured couple sat at a bench and looked around just like him. A cross-eyed pegasus flew over them before she crashed into a tree.
"So far, so good..." he thought, the locals had treated him as one of them. They were extremely nice and cheerful. He would be grateful if it wasn't for his problem.
"Hiya there!" he heard a cheerful voice as he turned around to face a pink girl with curly hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink top and long jeans, with a big smile on her face.
"I'm Pinkie Pie, I haven't seen you around here before" she began to talk as she took a place at his side. *gasp* “That must mean that you're new in Ponyville, because I know everyone in Ponyville and I don't know you..." The pink girl kept on talking, but Bloodbeast lost himself after a while with a question.
"Where does she get all the air?" he thought to himself before returning to the conversation.
"...I've got to throw you a party later so that you can make some friends. Anyway, what's your name?" Pinkie pie asked.
"I'm Bloodbeast." he answered and held out a hand.
"Oh, that's a cool name!" she said excited." Are you a thug, or maybe a bounty-hunter,or maybe..."
"I'm an ex-assassin!" he cut her off; seeing no point in lying to her. "They created me without emotions to be the best, but they forgot to not give me a brain. I killed them as soon as I was born."
He expected her to freak out but instead, she looked upon him with a finger under her chin. "Emotionless?" She said with a smug grin. "Then you won't mind if I START TO TICKLE YOU?!!" She began to tickle him as best as she could, trying to make him show anger or happiness. However, he just looked down at her with an unamused glare.
"Okay... so you were right about anger and happiness," Pinkie said as she backed off a bit. "Hmm... How about embarrassment?" She leaned in and kissed him, right on the lips. A small blush formed around Pinkies face and Bloodbeast could taste a small trace of cotton candy. This caught Bloodbeast by a surprise but he didn't show a sign of embarrassment or amusement.
But Pinkie Pie wasn't giving up that easily. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and slowly began to wrestle with his tongue. Bloodbeast knew that she wouldn't quit for awhile so he began to wrestle with her tongue as well but more roughly. This caused Pinkie Pie to open her eyes in shock, this wasn't how she had planned her greeting. But she sure didn't mind; after she broke the kiss, she looked upon him with a blush on her face.
"Wow, you're better than I thought" she said surprised and awkwardness filled the air. At least for Pinkie Pie. Bloodbeast was just looking at her. He saw that he had done something that made her blush. He began to think of something to say to cheer her up.
"Uhm... You taste like cotton candy" he slipped out, causing Pinkie Pie to giggle. Suddenly, a orange earth-pony girl with a cowboy-hat ran up to Pinkie Pie.
"Pinkie, we gotta hurry, there's a manticore loose in town!" she said in panic, not even noticing Bloodbeast.
"Oh no, I've got to run BB...BB?!!" Pinkie Pie began to look around after Bloodbeast, who was running towards the panic.
* * *
"LOOK OUT, DASH!" Twilight screamed to her cyan friend. As the pegasus looked around, she was hit by the paw of the manticore and was tossed back. After she hit the ground, her friends could see that she had a couple of wounds and bruises as she slowly began to crawl up to them.
"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked her as she ran up and dragged her friend away from the monster.
"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just not fit to fight now..." She groaned as she held her hand over a wound. Suddenly, a silver-gray pegasus ran towards the manticore with his fist in the air.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Dash shouted towards him but he didn't listen. He just charged towards the manticore. As soon as it turned around, he punched it in the gut. The manticore backed up a bit, Bloodbeast used this moment to take his trump card into the game.
As soon as he threw the chain to the ground, his skin started to creep away from his arms which revealed the metal that covered his insides. Then the arms began to form themselves, his fingers forged together as the skeleton slowly formed his arms to a pair of blades. He waited until the manticore made a charge with its paws, then he made a quick slide to the left and sliced the manticores paws off. The manticore growled in pain and began to use his tail for attacking Bloodbeast. This was how he wanted it...
Suddenly, the tail flew towards his face. He made a quick skate to the left as he turned the blades back to his arms, he grabbed the scorpion tail and used the momentum as he span around. Then he let go of the tail as it stabbed the manticore in its chest.
It made one final growl, whimpering in pain, before the poison paralyzed it and the manticore dropped down dead. Bloodbeast looked at it, before he turned around to see five shocked girls and a butter-yellow pegasus that looked away with her head in her hands. He picked up the chain, put it around his neck and went over to them. As he went up to them, he recognised two of them: Pinkie and the farmer.
"Uhm... Nice job." the cyan pegasus said.
"Wish that I could say the same to you." he responded.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" She said, offended to his response.
"That you can't fight." he said, showing no regret from his insults.
"Son of a..." She said before her wounds came to play.
"Great; another jerk is in town, Equestria is doomed." Bloodbeast looked around at the laughing crowd. He couldn’t see anything more ironic. He took a deep breath, got the crowds attention, and spoke the truth.
"Yes, it is..."
