//------------------------------// // John's Arrival // Story: Jigsaw's new game // by Thehappypuppet //------------------------------// Rainbow dash flew tirelessly from cloud to cloud battling the gloomy wether that had drifted into Ponyville the previous night. The cyan Pegasus was confused to why there was such strange cloud activity. The day before it was completely sunny, not a single cloud in sight for miles. weird. Life the last week was pretty much the same routine for Rainbow dash, she talked with her friends, did awesome tricks, and managed the town's weather. Rainbow dash soared right over the apple trees in Sweet Apple Acres, waving to Apple jack along the way. The Everfree Forest stated to come into the pony's view. She could see Fluttershy standing out side of her cottage. Rainbow dash decided to talk to one of her old friends. Fluttershy saw her rainbow maned friend fly towards her. She smiled at seeing the Pegasus doing a couple of spins in the air before landing in front of her. "Hey Fluttershy. What are you doing today?"The two Pegasi both were very excited to see each other "I was just checking to see if the animals were doing ok. There was a lot more birds outside of the forest then normal, something in the forest must have scared them." Fluttershy's voice trailed off when she finished the last sentence. "Come on, I'm sure whatever it is in the forest isn't a big deal. The cream colored Pegasus brightened up a little bit at her friends remark. "I guess your right Rainbow. Thanks for cheering me up." "No problem Fluttershy. I hope to see you later, I got to get back to the weather." Fluttershy's mood turned a little sad hearing that her friend was leaving. "Oh... Okay bye Rainbow dash." The cyan pony said good bye and disappeared into a cloud. The cream yellow Pegasus just stood there and stared at the edge of the Everfree Forest. "I hope Rainbow dash really was right." She said to herself. Little did the pony no that something sinister had just arrived in Equestria. The bright rays of early the morning sun awoke john from his sleep. His head hurt but it felt different. Before there was always the looming feeling of pain caused by his cancer. John curiously stood up and looked at his surroundings, the area around him had drastically changed since the last night. Large supply boxes and other various items lay scattered on grass. Around him was lots of trees and vegetation foreign to the jigsaw killer. John also noticed fourteen bodies around the grassy terrain. Guess I'm the first one to wake up. John walked up to the nearest pig-masked assistant. For safety reasons, he had no idea what any of their names were. He removed the his helpers mask and was greeted by the sleeping form of a girl. She looked to be about in her thirties, with straight black hair. John gently shook her head and was greeted by hazel blue eyes. The looked at John for a second before she also stood up. "What happened last night?" She asked john who was still unable to understand what happened "I don't know." He replied with the only answer he could. The two serial killers looked around to see that the rest of the group woke up. All of them asking questions of what happened "Where are we." "how did we get here." "Did the police do this?" John calmly walked up to one of the supply boxes and pulled out a loaded Glock 42. He turned towards them and shot three rounds of ammunition into the sky. Everyone went silent and faced him. "which one of you is my neurosurgeon?" In response one of the members removed their mask. A young man with short black hair walked in front of Jigsaw. "What do you require sir?" "I need you to run a CT scan on me. I have a feeling that my cancer may have been weakened." The surgeon stared at John with disbelief knowing that that type of disease didn't disappear over night, but he knew better then to question the jigsaw killers words. "Alright, but I need some time to set up the equipment." John watched the man go to the medical device and began to work. The rest of the group still looked at their master for orders. John looked at his watch, 8:53 AM "Ok, everyone unpack the supplies, I need a full list of everything we have with us before night fall. Place armed bear traps along the area of the perimeter." A few nods came from the followers. "I don't now what happened last night, but we will find our way back to the city. I wish to return as soon as possible, every hour we wait here we are letting people fall dead to their own corruption. Let's get started." The group began to empty the supply boxes. Taking out various devices such as sedative drugs used to kidnap people, video cameras and old television sets were put together in a pile near the center of the camp. Seemingly everyday objects were taken out to later be used as death traps. Seven camping tents were laid out in a circle on the small hill. John could see rain clouds advancing towards their position. He ordered two helpers to through a tarp over the pile of supplies. Jigsaw watched his men and women quickly unpacked the rest of the supplies and went to their tents. The neurosurgeon came rushing from behind one of the supply stacks towards John. "Sir the CT scan is warmed up and ready to go. Follow me and we can get started." John could see the juvenile spark in the man, something he lost along time ago. John nodded and followed the young man through the small camp ground. On his way, he took a better look at the surroundings. Just judging by the plant life, he knew for sure that he must be far away from the temple, or any place that he knew of. The plant life were different than anything he had ever seen. Some animals came out of the forest thicket near the camp ground. Something seemed of about the animals, not that they looked dangerous or anything like that, just that they seemed more calm around him. John and the doctor entered a large white medical tent. The room was filled with several medical crates, a small bed, and a CT machine. "If you would please lay down on the machine please."John laid down on the large medical device as the doctor started pushing buttons on the control panel. "The scan will take an hour at the least. So just sit back, relax and let the machine do its work."John and the man sat in the room. It was completely silent except for the beeping from the machine. Pain. Death. Suffering. Justice. Those words was the only thing the puppet could think about.why can I think? Before I never could think. Why can I now? memories of torture, suffering, and death raced quickly through Billy's head. wait... Memories? Why can I remember? Why can I think? Why can I feel? Am I alive?
