Hoof snuggled up beside Chrysalis and pecked a kiss on her cheek. The sign of compassion made her sigh in happiness. Some-pony had finally loved her for who she was.
“I love you and I’ll always protect you” Doc told the queen. She felt warm, loved and content.
As she rested in his embrace she remembered the horrid video footage of the cat. The memory made her shiver in fear but then something jogged in her memory. She remembered, everything.
“NO!” Chrysalis cried out. The sudden outburst caught Hoof off guard. Chrysalis lept off the table and began to shriek in
fear.
Hoof soon followed her but she tried to push him back. “Chrysalis, honey what’s wrong?” Hoof asked soothingly but his simple talk wouldn’t calm her. He tried to embrace her in a loving hug but she kicked him back against a filing cabinet.
“GO! RUN! GET AWAY!” Chrysalis screamed.
“But Chrysalis… I love you” Hoof pleaded, thinking this was her way of breaking up with him. Chrysalis let out an ear piercing shriek as she lept up to her hindlegs and held her head in pain with her front hooves.
Doc tried to soothe her by comforting her but she once again swatted him away, screaming for him to leave at once. Hoof tried to get close to her again but this would be the last time her made that mistake.
As Hoof went to place a heartwarming hoof on the frantic changeling queen, she ripped her hoof away from her face and grabbed him. He gasped as he realized her beautiful green eyes had gone blood red.
“Chry… Chrysie?” Hoof asked but his voice was soon cut off by a gasp of absolute horror as her lower jaw split open in a grotesque display. Her tongue slithered out like a snake’s then she chomped her razor sharp teeth around his throat and shook his body, only holding him by his neck with her powerful jaws.
In another room Sunflower heard the commotion. Lilac looked to Sunburst with a disgruntled look. “I guess we should go see if he’s okay” Lilac said, figuring that he’d probably just done something stupid, like cut his hoof with a scalpel.
The duo exited their room and began to trot down the hallway when suddenly Doc Hoof’s blood ridden body smashed through the clinic door. His body lay lifeless on the ground, blood pooling around his body and staining his fur.
The duo gasped but were then struck in fear as the now mutating Chrysalis exited the room. Her head was shaking violently as he upper jaw also split open. It was like something from a hellish nightmare but it was for real.
Both Lilac and Sunburst screamed as Chrysalis charged at them but at the last possible moment they were saved.
As Chrysalis lept at them, her jaws snapping, Bear collided with her and smashed her body against a wall then knocked her out with a brutal punch to the head.
“Why no-pony listen to me. I say punch her out, less problems” Bear chuckled but his humor was cut off as he realized Doc was dead. He gave a moment of sorrow for his fallen comrade but then the nightmarish Chrysalis swatted him against the opposite wall with a kick.
Bear grunted and rubbed the back of his head. “Okay bitch, you want to play rough? We’ll play rough” Bear said and pulled out his ridiculously sharp bowie knife.
Chrysalis quarrelled towards Bear but as she lept at him he drove his knife blade right through her throat. The force of his power swing knocked her away and to the ground but she simply got back up like nothing happened.
Blood gushed from her throat but it didn’t faze her in the least. Bear looked over to Firefly. “We need something to shoot her with” he told Firefly, who nodded in response then galloped off. Bear turned back to Chrysalis but was taken off guard as she tackled him low and hard, smashing him through a door leading to the parlour.
Chrysalis lifted her head up to chomp down on Bear’s throat but he was already countering her. Like a flash of lightning, Bear unsheathed another knife and slammed it into her side, penetrating her heart.
Chrysalis screeched in pain but then went to chomp at Bear’s throat again. He quickly shifted his head to the side and missed the gruesome bite. He pulled the knife out of her side then stabbed her again but this time in the bottom of her chest then slid the knife downwards, cutting her stomach wide open.
She screeched again but still went on to bite at Bear’s throat. He had one last idea. He grabbed one of her wings and gave them a pull as he tossed her body away. He quickly got to his hooves just as Firefly entered the room with his improvised flamethrower.
“Alright amigo, say hello to my little friend” he laughed and set off his flamethrower. The flames spat out and caught onto Chrysalis who shrieked in fury and anguish. Firefly let off the trigger then hit it again, so that the flame didn’t backfire into the tanks.
Chrysalis screeched then in an act of desperation broke through the wall behind her, engulfed in flames. Firefly let off the trigger and looked to Bear with a smile as he waved his flamethrower back and forth.
Firefly walked out the hole in the wall created by Chrysalis as he began his search for her. “Come here little bug. The exterminator is in the house!” Firefly taunted. The liquid dripping from the nozzle quickly caught fire and fell to the floor.
Elsewhere Chrysalis rolled on the floor and put out the flames on her body. Her skin quickly began to split, revealing her true form. She started screeching again and then a door opened on a room. Pippy had been woken from his sleep when the commotion started. He gasped as Chrysalis went to pounce on his. He quickly turned around a corner and ran.
Chrysalis crashed into the wall, missing Pippy’s body by mere inches. Pippy screamed in fear then burst through another door as Chrysalis lept at him again like a rabid animal.
Pippy continued to scream as he entered the shower room, musical tunes filled the room.
Baby do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don’t you know that nobody alive
Can always be an angel
Pippy could her Chrysalis’ primal hissing and screeching from the hallway as he tried to hide. “HELP!” he cried out and Johner came out from his shower. His fur was dripping wet and his mane was down. He raised an eyebrow. The loud music had drowned out the commotion from outside so he hadn’t heard the ruckus.
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord please don’t let me be misunderstood…
Johner chuckled. “Sleep walking again kid. Bah don’t worry about it, we all have our moments” Johner chuckled then suddenly Chrysalis burst into the room. Johner grunted in disgust but then caught drift of what was happening.
“BUCK!” Johner yelled then grabbed Pippy and quickly pulled him into the showers, which were still running. Chrysalis lept at them but missed them thanks to Johner’s quick movements.
Johner pulled back the young stallion to where he had been showering. “Trust me kid, I’m not gay” Johner said in a gruff voice as Chrysalis entered the showers. Water splashed against her burnt skin and she hissed gruesomely.
“What-the-buck” Johner scowled as he grabbed his thermos and quickly cocked the handle. A secret handle sprang out and Johner triggered it. A thunderous BOOM echoed in the shower room and Chrysalis’ body was propelled back as 10guage magnum buckshot riddled her body.
Johner simply stood there with his still smoking thermos. He had hidden a 10guage short barrel inside the thermos. The barrel was barely thirteen inches and the whole idea was a concealment weapon so it was really a onetime thing.
Johner mumbled to himself. “Perfectly good cider wasted” he muttered to himself. All his remaining cider that had still been in the thermos had been propelled out of the bottom when the gun went off.
Johner walked over to Chrysalis’ now motionless body and poked her with his front hoof. She didn’t move and he looked back to Pippy who was standing under the shower spout. His body had become soaked as well and Johner chuckled.
“She’s dead” he said bluntly then chuckled “You stay in there any longer and your skin might prune” he laughed just as the others entered the room. Firefly had his blowtorch ready but when he saw Chrysalis’ dead body he flicked off his zippo. Johner looked to the others and chuckled. “I have no more cider” he laughed as he waved around his destroyed thermos.
