//------------------------------// // Slaughter the world *SPOOF* // Story: Embrace the Darkness, Carpe Noctem // by musicman722 //------------------------------// A Mare with a yellow coat and a brown mane and tail trotted along with a small colt beside her and one in a saddlebag. They stop in the road and the colt looks toward a bush with a butterfly on it. Suddenly an ebony long hand bursts out and grabs the colt’s face. There was a flash and the mare looked down to see just a leg left of the colt, the bone protruding from the end. She gives a yelp and a dark misty creature came out singing. “Excitement abounds. I almost can’t wait!” He brings her close, “Relax, I don’t want your baby I already ate.” He pulled the foal out of the bag, “Though I do tend to generally kill, kill things that” He tosses the baby aside, the mare chasing it, “don’t fight back.” Gunhaver comes upon a picturesque village with the name of Ponyville, “I see this village. What does it hold? What shall I butcher them with fire or cold?” His hands lit up respectively. A brown stallion saw him and ran away yelling. “Coming from me, sure you’ll think, ‘He’s a pathological, homicidal, bloodthirsty maniac!” Gunhaver sang as he melted several nearby ponies’ faces off. Fluttershy came by with several pets in tow. Gunhaver gazed at her and pointed at her pets, “I kill kittens and puppies and bunnies.” Each one exploding in a fountain of blood. Fluttershy’s eyes turned to pinpricks as the blood covered her. Gunhaver went over to the school house. Colts and fillies of different ages played in the yard. Gunhaver picked up two random ones by their heads. “I maim toddlers and teens and then more.” The children turned to ash. Gunhaver skipped over to Sugarcube Corner where Mr. and Mrs. Cake were minding the counter. “You see a wife, I see a widow.” Gunhaver ripped Mr. Cake’s head off and tossed it to her, “but what then? Can’t you see? I’d kill four.” Gunhaver stood in the town square, “I want to incinerate and decapitate. I want to melt, want to melt some faces.” He ripped the faces off of Flitter and Cloudchaser and floated to the nearby grave yard. “Watching the peasant, Oh what do they call it? Ah, grieve.” He walked away and casually tossed a fireball at the weeping ponies. Gunhaver picked up a small puppy, “I suppose being undead, there’s not much to life. A soul is needed for loving, feeling. How does this not make me, oh what’s the word?” He dropkicked the puppy straight to Appleoosa, “Heave.” Gunhaver set a home aflame revealing the ponies hiding inside, “You’ve nowhere to hide,” The ponies run in to the tree library, which suffered the same fate. “You’ve nowhere to run. Your village will burn like the heart of the sun!” Gunhaver’s hand were covered in fire, “With infinite glee, it’s going to be me that slaughters the wooorld.” Gunhaver Stood next to some ponies, holding AppleJack, “How can I stare into these eyes and then not stab them?” He took two fingers and gouged her eyes out. He held them up in front of his own, “How can I glare at their loss and then not laugh.” He squished the eyes and brought Big Mac up and drew a blade against his throat. “I’d cut him in half and then I’d graft his head back onto his shoulders. Or after I’d lop it” which he did, “I’d make a puppet, on top of a stave” He placed Mac’s head on a stick. Mayor mare spoke in Gun’s voice, “I am a lord that is sometimes bored.” Gunhaver’s arm appeared below the neck, his hand inside the skull. “Have some urges and need to fulfill them.” He pulled her head off his hand and held it. “After my mayhem I simply don’t, what’s the word? Care!” He tossed the head over his shoulder and kicked it away into a pile of heads behind him. The town square was now the center of destruction, with bodies lying about in mangled poses in interesting forms of death, and ponies locked up awaiting their fate. “The stench in the air, the smell of the gore, a carnage far greater than any war!” His fist raised to the sky. He sighed and lowered it, “My legacy. Death becomes me. I’ll slaughter the world.” High above, Rainbow Dash was performing a stunt when she was suddenly zapped by lightning and she corkscrewed down into the ground.
