Slenderman flips Jeff over, slamming him down on his back.
Jeff coughs roughly, “Ah, what happened to peace? And to me stabbing you?”
Slenderman glares down, positioning himself between Jeff and Apple Bloom, “You wanted me, you wanted death. I grant both wishes.”
Jeff rolls up to his feet, and laughs as he draws another knife, “Oh, Slendy, you came back for me!”
Jeff charges Slenderman, who dodges a bunch of sloppy stabs, “Come on, Jeff, where’s that precision?”
Jeff continues a barrage of stabs, all of which Slenderman easily dodges, “Jeffrey’s getting in the way!”
Slenderman backsteps, calmly avoiding a slash, only to find himself bumping into Apple Bloom. He quickly teleports behind Jeff, and cuffs him on the back of his head. Slenderman looks up to Apple Bloom, “Filly, flee!”
Apple Bloom launches vines at Jeff, each of which he easily cuts, “No, I will kill him!”
Slenderman jumps back as Jeff lunges at him, “No can do, I made a promise to Slender! Now get out of here!”
Apple Bloom yells as she launches a fist of vines, “No!”
Slenderman sighs, “Then I will do it myself!”
Jeff lunges once again, leaving his arm wide open. Slenderman wraps a tendril around that arm, tossing Jeff into the ground. Jeff bounces back up from the force, allowing Slenderman to grab him. Slenderman twirls around, and tosses Jeff towards the Everfree.
Slenderman instantly arrives in a clearing, and holds his arm out.
Jeff comes hurtling through leaves and branches, until he finds his throat held by Slenderman.
Slenderman crushes with all his force, and shoves Jeff into the ground.
Jeff manages to cut with a knife, cutting Slenderman’s hand, and forcing him to withdraw it.
Jeff gets back up, kicking out Slenderman’s legs as he does.
Slenderman falls backwards as Jeff stands over him. Only, instead of hitting the ground, his tendrils now hold him up.
Slenderman kicks upward, catching Jeff on the chin, and cracking a few of his teeth. Jeff leans back for a second, which allows Slenderman to plant his boot in Jeff’s ribs.
Jeff is sent aside, coughing up a broken rib. With the intrusive bone out, he then turns back to Slenderman.
Slenderman stands straight again, and looks at Jeff. The two stare at each other, collecting their breath.
Both hear a twig snap, and a rustling in the bushes. At least three ponies stand there, watching the two. The Mayor of Ponyville among them.
Jeff laughs as he begins to make a lunge for them.
His laugh is silenced as his entire face is grasped by Slenderman. Slenderman summons his strength, and throws Jeff through the Forest.
Trees make a path as Jeff goes flying. He flips in mid-air, planning to land on a tree and exit off it.
Yet when he reaches the tree, he finds his foot pierced by a particularly sharp branch. He yowls in pain as he falls to the ground.
Once again, he never hits the ground. Instead, he finds himself back in Slenderman’s grasp.
Slenderman growls, and throws Jeff into another tree. Before Jeff hits it, the tree sprouts sharp spikes of branches.
Jeff is impaled on the branches, and even more blood begins to soak his hoodie.
Jeff pries himself off the branches, laughing slightly, “Man, I’m not having a good time. Heh, you aren’t even anywhere near the power you normally would be.” He looks up, slightly grasping a large wound in his chest, “So how is it that you are able to easily pound me into the dirt? I mean, you are weaker than ever, and I am stronger, so what gives?”
Slenderman rights himself again, “Because I am not weaker. No, I am near the same in power. It’s because I have more than just the power of Fear, Jeff.” Slenderman rubs his face, feeling the finer details underneath, “I have friendship, you do not. But most important, I have found harmony within myself. Your two minds still argue, and can’t work together. But I have found Slender, I have worked with him, I have become friends with him. And that gives me so much more power than you could ever hope to have, Jeff, if you don’t accept Jeffery.”
Jeff looks down, “More power than Fear? Harmony within your mind?” He then looks up, and lets out an uproar of laughter, “When did you become a Buddhist, Slendy?”
Slenderman stomps down, “Listen to what we are saying, Jeff!”
The black glow around Slenderman fades, and Slender takes control, “Jeffery Woods, the Killer is a part of you. Talk to him, accept him, become one! Or take control at the very least!”
Jeff pauses, “Let him take control? You know, that does sound fun.” He laughs, “Hey, Woods, come and tell the big genie your three wishes!”
His laughter ends, and he collapses to his knees. Jeffery Woods looks up at Slender, and begs, “Kill us, please. Free me from this torture, and stop the Killer! Please, I know you don’t want to kill, but please!”
Slender takes a step back from the pure desperation in the young voice. But then that voice fades back into a loud laughter.
Jeff picks up a knife from the ground, and charges towards Slender.
Kill him, Slender. He wants it.
Slender looks the charging Jeff in the eyes, “No, he can change! I won’t kill him!”
Get over yourself, Slender! You are letting your pacifism turn into selfishness! Think for a single second beyond what you want! Jeffrey Woods has been tortured for years in the mind of a killer, one who he wants dead. He asked you, begged you, to kill him! Are you going to deny him that final comfort all because there’s a chance the Killer might change?! Death is a necessary evil, Slender.
Slender gulps as Jeff gets closer, “B-but-“
No matter what you chose, I shall still be here for you. Spare him, kill him, I will be your friend nonetheless.
Slender lets out a single shout, and forces his arm forward.
Jeff suddenly stops, his eyes widening even more. He drops the knife from his shaking grasp, and looks down.
Slender’s arm goes straight through him, with a crushed heart in his hand.
Jeff stumbles back, slowly revealing Slender’s blood soaked arm. He falls down onto the tree, leaning against it for support.
Jeff slowly laughs, “So... that’s what it feels like. It’s been a pleasure... Slendy.”
Jeffery looks up at Slender, and a tear drops from his eye, “Thank... you.”
Jeffrey closes his eyes once and for all, blood soaking through his hoodie.
Slender falls to his knees, and begins sobbing over the body of Jeffery.
Ponies walk in on the scene, and are drawn not to his sobs,
They look at his face, and see a dark purple aura surrounding it.
Their Selfless hero.
