//------------------------------// // Confusion? More Blood! // Story: Psycho // by Bishibosh the Shaman //------------------------------// Psycho Chapter Four To say Twilight was concerned was an understatement. To say she was terrified was closer. She walked into her library to find her alien guest passed out on the floor with his own weapon buried into his gut. She was frozen for a solid minute before she finally forced Spike in to help the human. Spike was still wary, and this act just proved the humans madness. Twilight lifted Krieg into the air with her magic, careful not to jerk and damage anything vital, and placed him face up on the floor. Using her magic again she lifted the axe out of Krieg's gut slowly and had Spike there ready to bandage the wound. When the axe was clear and set out of he way, Twilight turned to see something else she could not explain. A silver light was hovering just over the wound. Light boxes burst out and as quickly as the light appeared, it vanished leaving behind no evidence of a wound. "Spike..." She coldly stated. "Uh yes?" He responded. "Tell Celestia..." The blue vortex was always pretty to Krieg, sometimes he was even tempted to jump off cliffs and such to watch it flow by. The short second of ecstasy was usually enough to sate him. He usually replaced it with bloodlust soon after. The machine chimed at him in a cheerful tone. "Between you and us, that thing that killed you was a total dick. Please disregard this message if you committed suicide." Krieg made his way back to the same hill he was sitting on before, just to check on the town. As he made it to the top he noticed the dwellers already scavenging Saturn 2.0 for parts, ammo, anything they could get. Behind his mask Krieg let out a smile and went his way. Blood and death were great, but for some reason he always got a warm fuzzy feeling when he saved an innocent life. "Gah, warm feelings... in my blood..." He muttered as he went on his way. It was only moments from when Spike sent the letter to Celestia that he burped up a new one. He was just about to open it when it was ripped from his hands and into Twilight's magic. "My Faithful Student, I am aware of the danger this human presents and I understand your concern for others in this matter. I would however like to meet his Krieg. Please escort him to me in Canterlot so I may see him for myself." Twilight read. "CANTERLOT!?" "Woah, she can't be serious. After what I told her she can't seriously think Canterlot would be any better for him," Spike responded. "Well... I don't know, If he stays... sane... he shouldn't cause a problem. I just don't want him going out of it again and axing himself in the stomach, especially in front of Celestia... I need to go get the others. Spike, watch over Krieg for me." Before Spike could object Twilight was already out the door, and Krieg was leaning up from his sleep. Spike watched as the human clumsily stood up and walked to his weapon laying on the floor. This was going to be a long day, he thought. The warm feeling in Krieg's stomach was fading, he needed something else to occupy his mind. He found himself wandering towards the Fridge, a cold place. Before he made it to the door he was caught by the arm by a strange man. "Welcome to the Slaughterhouse my strong looking friend, care to enter?" Krieg looked at the man, and with a confused look followed the man back into a doorway. Krieg was pushed into the arena and the door shut behind him. Large blocks of ice fell from the ceiling as bandits emerged from the rubble. Gears grinded as the back gates opened for more bandits to enter. The psycho knew what this meant, and he smiled. Gripping his buzz axe he charged in screaming. "NEVER STOP THE KILLING! NEVER!" Twilight returned with her friends and stood at the door. The obvious noise was no good indication. Her five friends stood there, four of them confused. Rainbow had an idea as to what was going on. "So we're taking him to Celestia then right?" Rainbow remarked. "Taking who? Is there somepony new in town?" Rarity asked. Before Twilight could explain however Pinkie Pie burst in excitement. "Somepony new! Yes! We need to throw them a PARTY!" "As fun as that sounds sugar, if this somepony needs to see Celestia I think the party can wait." Applejack responded. "Yes, Celestia wants to see him as soon as possible, but first... I think you all need to see him for yourself." Twilight opened the door and gasped as she saw Spike hanging from the ceiling. Krieg was sitting in the corner pouting. Twilight noticed the marks on the ground and walls. It was obvious what happened, she asked anyways. "Spike..." "Not my fault ok?" "What happened?" "Ok well, after you left he started getting back up. I of course got scared and backed into the wall. He turned and looked at me, I don't know what he thought. I don't think I put off as threatening, but he started screaming about putting his babies in my lungs, not wanting to know what he meant by that I took off around the house. He chucked his axe at me and missed and the whole time after that was me running my legs off as he choped up the house. Finally he stopped, started muttering to himself, then dropped and started sulking in the corner." All six ponies watched Krieg as he slowly turned his head towards the ponies. "I'm... so... sorry..."
