//------------------------------// // Hunting Applejerk // Story: Equestrian Satanister // by Reizthefakebrony //------------------------------// Sara never intended to kill anyone, but since her death by the ends of her assassins and rebirth, she putted that fact behind in her way for vengeance. Since her transformation into a humanoid like pony monstrosity caused by her own gauntlets, her bloodlust was very accentuated. And that was the beginning of her hunt. Under this crimson red sky, Sara had arrived in her first top, that one being Sweet Apple Acre. What was used to be a orchard of apple trees had become a wittered wood of burnt trees. She proceeded two legged in her path toward her first target was supposed to be. In front of her there are seven demons who looked like ponies, but they weren't. They stood two legged, almost ready to harvest her soul. Sara wasn't surprised to see them since she expected that cold welcome. She wasn't afraid of their appearance since her bloodlust was the only fuel that put a halt to her fear. In that moment, Shelnov appeared nearby her and looked the situation with a sardonic optimism. "You never wanted to kill anyone, but look at those things," Shelnov said. "Those demons from hell used to be ranger ponies. To think they had met such end. It's kind of sad, don't you think." "I don't care about them," Sara said coldly with a cold and yet bloodthirsted face. "What really mattered is when I'll test my fists on those creatures and smash their boss." "You are welcome to feast on them first." Shelnov said before dissipating in a red mist while laughing with anticipation. Sara approached the crazed demons with a sense of tranquil and veiled killing intent. She could feel the essence of her spiked gauntlets demanding for blood. She gave a very appropriate smirk symbolizing her status. "Cometh at me betimes!" Sara provoked the demons, causing them to charge at her menacingly. Sara dodged the first demon and punched in his stomach so hard that she broke his spine, killing him in one swoop and him to fly. The second one arrived in front her with the intention to slash her face with his claws. She blocked his arm and then smashed his head with one punch. Another one attacked from behind, only to be backhanded violently by her. Other two of them leaped toward her with the intention to bite her. Sara pulled out her shotgun while ducking beneath them and shot two blows that blasted their head, replacing their faces with huge holes in their skulls. Invigorated by her hunger for blood, Sara looked at the last pony like demon, who looked very enraged by her brutal act that was being displayed on his companions and tried to attack her ferociously. Sara blocked his head and smashed it to the ground. The demons were no more and the path was clear, but her gauntlet's essence demanded more blood. "I need more of it." Sara said under her breath. "Alright... Let's get through this." Sara traveled toward what used to be farm. Differently from the once jovial place, it was now looking rustically decrepit, looking forsaken from the rest of the world. Sara approached the wooden gates of the barn and opened it with one kick. She found also thing that disgusted her. The inside of the barn looked like a slaughter house, adorned with a very complex machinery. Apples and dead ponies being shredded and used as ingredients for a new juice. And in the middle of that delirium there was Applejerk, standing two legged and looking angrily at her. And yet a sense of surprise betrayed that feeling since Applejerk never saw Sara's newfound demonic appearance. "T-that can't be you," Applejerk stuttered. "That must be a trick. Who helped you to escape and turned ya into something?" "..." Sara didn't respond. "Are you mute!?" Applejerk said angrily. "You better tell me the truth." She grabbed a bat. "Or I will beat you up dead!" "Said the one who was selling that shit without telling about the ingredients to anyone else." Sara provoked. "Ya better not mocking me! Ya want to be dead!?" Applejerk demanded. "I knoweth not thee," Sara said. "But thee did look v'ry anxious to testeth thy medicine on thy skin. V'ry well, thee demented bloodfucker. So be it." "I will buck you down!" Applejerk shouted as she rushed toward to smash her with her bat. Sara raised her own hand, blocked her bat and crushed it with her finger pressure, much to Applejerk's bafflement. She then proceeded to punch her stomach and then deliver one jab in her face, causing the Element of Honesty to fall aback. Applejerk grunted for the blow she had received and rose up four legged with newfound anger. "Ya damn BITCH!" Applejerk shouted as she spun around and tried to bucking her hard with her hind legs. Sara blocked both Applejerk's legs. "What about this one?" "Wait!" Applejerk said. "What you're-" "Wrong answer." Sara pressed her gauntlet equipped hand's fingers and crushed the hind legs of her opponents. Multiple cracks can be heard as Applejerk's bones were shattered into pieces. The Element of Honesty screamed in pain as she was then tossed around by her supposed prey. Applejerk ended up being slammed against the wall and fell on the ground with agony. Sara approached the Pillar of Obscenity with a complete absence of remorse. Applejerk crawled backwards with fear, an emotion that she didn't had experienced for a long time. "Y-ya monster!" Applejerk said. "Ya won't getting away with that! Mah friends'll avenge my death!" "I know that," Sara said tranquilly. "And honestly, that falls on my favor." "What!?" Applejerk asked surprised. "Besides, you were the weakest of your kind, right?" Sara asked with an accentuated killing intent. "However, I can feel that your death will be a means for something else." "What you're talking about!?" Applejerk asked impatiently. "Nothing personal," Sara replied. "But you will act as a gateway." At this point, a very grim azure energy was channeled inside her gauntlets. Sara pulled back punch and then struck Applejerk's down with fist through her chest. Were the blood was supposed to erupt, a black-blue portal opened in front of her, sucking her hand into a another dimension. In the middle of that darkness, Sara could see a human figure. She could recognize it being Nick, one of the mercenaries who had backstabbed her. Or be precised, his own soul in the human world. Feeling a presence haunting him, Nick turned around to see what it was. It was too late. Sara's already grabbed his soul right in front of him. In front of his eyes, he saw the human appearance of Sara, with the exception of her having her gauntlets and her newfound bloodlust being displayed in her merciless eyes. Nick was astonished in a very terrible way to see her. "S-Sara!?" Nick stuttered. "That can't be right. You're dead!" "That would be you. Time to pay your debt with society!" Sara said as she crushed his soul, causing Nick to emit a very muted scream before dying for real. Sara pulled out her hand back from the portal as it diminished in dimensions and imploded itself, leaving only a bloody hole in the chest of the now dead Applejerk, whose body fell on the ground lifeless. Her first target was gone, but her bloodlust was still present. "I need... More!!" "Well done. One down," Shelnov said while appearing behind her. "You are having fun seeing me like this, right?" Sara retorted. "Remember your vengeance," Shelnov reminded her. "There are six of them now. Try to not waste your occasion to return to the world you belong. That is the promise that I will grant to you in exchange of your act of vengeance." "What you have to gain from my own blood thirst?" Sara demanded. "Everything thing has his own time," Shelnov then disappeared. "I am counting on you." Before leaving the slaughterhouse behind, Sara found on the ground something that Shelnov may have dropped for her. That thing was a grenade launcher. She never had used that in her life, and yet she would had gave it a chance. She took the weapon with her and headed toward the exit of Sweet Apple Acree, headed toward her next target. In the dark throne room, Brutalight Sparkills was having an amusing discussion with Lil' Miss Rarity and Rainbrute until one of the hell guards interrupted them to gave a grave notice. Applejerk was killed by the hands of the one pony they intended to use as their newfound demon. They didn't took the news very well. "I can't believe that." Lil' Miss Rarity said with shock. "Applejerk is dead?" Rainbrute said dumbfounded. Pinkamena entered in the room and butted in. "What? Did somepony killed Applejerk!?" Brutalight snapped in tranquil fury and stomped violently on the floor, causing it to shatter into a mini crater. "I won't forgive this act," Brutalight said. "No matter what! I will make her pay for her own impudence!"
