[fight song]


I rushed forward. 

Two Slender Beings rushed at him, and he delivered a falcon kick to the first, which sent it flying into the second. I ran to them, and said, "Tell your dentist i'm sorry!" and stomped on their faces! Another Slender Grabbed me with his tnedrils and lifted me into the air. My tatoo's pulsed, and he dropped me with a savage cry, emitted from a torn open mouth. I tackled him, took his head in my hands, and snapped it sideways. A tendril shot out of a group of theem, and it peirced my arm. I cried out, not in pain, but anger. I made a tendril shoot out of my back and it peirced at least two Slenders in the crowd the tendril had come from.

I was an absolute beast, tearing through the entire crowd of Slender's in only a few minutes. By the end, only three others were in the room. Slender Man and his surviving lackeys. He started applauding and said 'congratulations! you have single-handedly defeated an army of slender beings! unfortunately, it was in vain. you will not defeat me.'

"in your words, We Shall See."

I rushed at him, pulling a katana out of a passing shadow. He took a stance and sharpened his tendrils. I swung with precicsion at his leg, only to be parried away. He swung two tendrils that, if they caught me, i would have been halved. I jumped straight into the air at least 8 feet, and avoided such a fate. Then I got thrown back by a tendril I hadn't seen.

'hahaha! you talk big, but you fail to live up to your words. you can't even defend yourself! i'm surprised that your dog even made it past being a pup!'

For the second time that day, he fucked up. I got up, and grabbed he and his friends in my crushing tendrils. Slowly, I started to glow silver. I kept getting more and more intense until It hurt to keep my eyes open. But I forced mysef to do so, I wanted to watch these three die as painfully as possible. The light was starting to sear my skin, and it was doing even more damage to the Slender's. They were writhing and screaming in pain. They tried to escape my vise like grip, but it was pointless. This was their end. Suddenly, I heard a voice in my head.

'michael! you have to stop! if you don't, this entire castle will explode, along with the surrounding area's!'

"I don't care! They killed my dog! I would burn this entire world to see them die an excrutiating death!"

'what!? if you let this happen, Colmillo won't get buried!'

That made me think. Colmillo? Not getting a proper burial?

"FFFUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!"

With a burst of strength, I etched a message to Celestia on the marble wall, and cocooned myself and the slenders in tendrils. There was a flash, then nothing. Silence. And a crying goddess.

Celestia watched Michael scream in anger, then he carved something in the marble, and dissapear in a flash of silver. She started to cry. She sat in the doorway where she last saw him and cried. After a few minutes she got up and walked out to the crowd of ponies. She composed herself and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Citizens of Equestria! There is no need to fear! The threat has been vanquished, and it will never return again!"

They broke out into wild cheers and applause. Then they started chanting "Ce-les-tia, Ce-les-tia, Ce-les-tia!!!" but she silenced them.

"I am not the one who defeated the Slender Army."

Luna stepped forward. "Sister, where is Michael?"

Celestia looked at her and shook her head. The crowd suddenly realized what had happened in the castle, and they bowed there heads in respect for the human who had saved their lives.

It had been three years since Michael had sacrificed himself so his dog could be buried. The castle had been repaired, but Michaels last words had been left in the marble, a way to honor him.

Colmillo had been given a hero's burial. A grave in the roayal garden where he played while Michael had been in a coma was granted, along with a statue of himself and his master, which stood in the town square of Canterlot. A plaque was placed at the feet of the two, and on it was Michaels message. 'Stand Up For What You Believe In'.

He woke up in a seemingly familiar forest. It was night, and he couldn't see very well. Behind him was a fence, and next to him was a flashlight and a note. On the note was 'Don't let me catch you'. He stood up and tried to climb the fence, but when he did, he fell backwards. He picked up the flashlight. 'allright, ill play your game'.

He walked around, not really sure of what he was supposed to be doing. Then he saw a peice of paper on a tree. On it was written, 'don't stop moving'. He figured it would be a good idea to listen to this note. He moved on, and soon found himself facing an old truck and a dilapitated shed. he walked around to the back of the shed and found another note.

It didn't say anything, but rather had a crudely drawn dog with blood around the neck area. He ripped it down and stepped on it, feeling animosity towards the drawn dog. Then he heard what sounded like a bass. It sounded familiar, and he felt like he should like the noise, but it almost... scared him. He kept moving.

Soon, he came upon what looked like oil silo's. What they wer doing out here, he had no idea. He started to walk towards them, but then he heard footsteps behind him. He turned and clicked on the flash light and saw... Nothing? He could have sworn he heard something...

He made his way to the silo's, although much more wary now. He walked around the silo's, until he saw yet another note. On it was 'don't turn around'. He turned around. He saw what looked like a bathhouse, but off to the side of it, was... something else. it was taller than him, and had tendrils that gripped onto the trees around it and lifted it off. He got really scared, terrified even, and ran into the bathhouse.

He tried to hide in one of the rooms, but he found a note in the room he chose. this one said 'dead'. he felt a tap at his shoulder, and he knew this was the end. He turned and what he saw was... The most terrifying thing ever. It's face had a fresh glasgow smile, with blood leaking from the cuts, and its eye were pitch black, with a red pupil in the left eye. He backed up as much as he could, but when he did, the thing just put its face closer. 'what are you?' He asked.

"I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have set a punishment such as I upon you."

It's voice was low and grumbly, but it also sounded like there were many voices speaking at once. He tried to close his eyes, but found that he had no eyes. He tried to scream, but he had no mouth. The thing just lifted a tendril, and stabbed him through the stomach. He fell to the floor, and passed out from blood loss.

I took the contacts out of my eyes and wiped the paint off the side of my mouth. I pulled my tendrils back into my body, and palced a hand on Slender Mans wound, healing it. Then I grabbed him by the feet and started dragging him back, my tendrils replacing the notes, and making everything as it was. I soon got back to the face with the unconcious prisoner. I left him there, and walked through a portal that had opened up.

I found myself back in the familiar room my new friends War, Pestilence, Famine, and Death were playing Halo. I sat down on the couch and picked up a Monster. I opened it and took a swig. Death got up and yelled "Dammit! Why Do I Even Play This With You War?"

"Cuz youre a dumbass!" Responded War.

"Hey, could you guys keep it down a bit? I ain't felling to go- BLARGH!!" Pestilence just threw up.

"Hey guys? Why doesn't he have a bucket or something?" I asked. They all looked at me, then at each other, and back to me. "Why Didn't I Think Of That?"

"I told you, youre a dumbass!"

Death tackled War and started punching him in the face. War just kept laughing while Death beat on his face. I got up and used my tendrils to pull Death of him, and Death said "Hey, I saw What You Did In There With Slender Man. It's Getting Pretty Creepy What You Can Do With Those Powers."

"I know. I love using them to scare him."

"Hey, Do have to do that to him? I mean, you've done that every day since you got here." Pointed out Famine.

"He deserve's it! And you gotta admit, it was pretty funny."

"Yeah all right, you got a point."

I got up off the couch and walked to my bedroom. Before I reached the door, I turned back to the whole group and said "Hey i'm going to sleep. If any of you think of coming into my room... Don't."

They all nodded and went back to fucking with each other. I opened the door to my room and closed it behind me. Laying on the bed, I couldn't help but think of Colmillo. Death explained to me that since he was an animal, he passed on another plane of existance. There was nothing that could be done to go and see him, and he wasn't going to try breaking the unspoken laws of necromancy. So, I just pulled his picture out of my wallet and taped it on the ceiling above my bed. It was of me holding him, while he held onto a pheasant that he had caught while hunting one time. It was my favorite picture of him.
