//------------------------------// // The games begin // Story: Jigsaw's new game // by Thehappypuppet //------------------------------// Those who do not appreciate life do not deserve life "What the hell?!" Tyler was dumbfounded by the pink cattle john had brought back to the medical tent along with a living version of Billy the puppet. "The pink thing is apparently an "Earth pony" and I'm still not sure why billy now lives among us." John used the information he acquired from his confusing encounter in the woods. "Why did you bring the "pony" here?" "First of all, the mare, which means female pony, told me that we are not on earth any more." The doctor stared disbelievingly at jigsaw's words. "Now we are in the world of Equestria, a land inhabited by talking animals. I took her because she doesn't understand the true value of life. "Wait... So you want to test a pony? John only nodded his head in response. "This is crazy! She isn't even human! Shouldn't we be trying to get back to earth? Tyler couldn't contain his emotions anymore. He had seen enough things happen today. "Relax, the pony told me that there are other breeds of ponies out there. Some of them can control magic, maybe if we can recruit some of them with our cause, it worked with the rest of the people here." Jigsaw have a point and the Neurosurgeon knew it, everybody who joined his cause thought of him as a prophet. The same logic would probably work with ponies or anything for that matter. "John, how do you propose we test this sad excuse for a pony." Though the puppets voice showed no feeling, everyone in the room could tell that he had a new found hatred for the equine. "So Jigsaw, your real name is John." The puppet looked up at Tyler and was clearly annoyed that he accidentally gave away john's fake alias. Billy's creator looked at the puppet and motioned for him to calm down. "Now, now billy, It doesn't matter if he nows my name seeing that we are no longer on earth." He then turned to Tyler and gave him the ghost of a smile. "Yes, my name is John, John Kramer. I'm sure you already know about my puppet Billy." But the doctor wasn't listening to him. Tyler was frozen with fear the moment his eyes locked with the puppets stare. His mind seemed to be griped by the puppets crimson eyes. Every thought that he had in his head was replaced by a graphic memory from the puppets past. John instantly figured out that something was wrong with his surgeon. He waved his hand in front of Tyler who instantly fell back from the evil ventriloquist dummy. "What did you just do to me?" The puppet looked at him again, this time he wasn't taken over by the puppets twisted mind. "I just wanted to see if you knew about pain. You seem like the kind of person who needs a lesson on life" the puppets raspy voiced seemed to echo through Tyler's mind." John stared down furiously at his puppet. "Don't mess with my surgeons head! He has earned his right to live on many occasions. "Okay John, I see your point." He had vivid memories of the doctor operating on his master. "Now that, we have worked everything out, I suggest that you start working on her test john. I will be ready to record a video for you when you finish. "Your right, we can't keep drugging her. "John could see in Billy's eyes that he was excited to star the games. "Besides, I already have a idea for this pinkie pie." "So what ya reckons under that curtain?" "I don't know Applejack, I guess we will have to wait and see what it is." Spike was just as thrilled to see what was under the black curtain as Applejack was. Celestia had just risen the sun over the Equestrian skies. Everypony had just woken up to attend to their duties only to find a large square object covered by a black tarp surrounded by a fence with large barbed coils tangled around it. "Well darling I don't think that the black fabric is fashionable, look at all the stains on it." Rarity was right, the tarp was covered with dark red stains. "D-do you think that the red is b-b-blood?" Before Fluttershy's friends could answer her, a loud laugh interrupted them. Everypony stopped what they were doing and looked around them. The laugh sounded like something from a nightmare night party, but with much more malice. Suddenly the black curtain was ripped of to show a disturbing sight. Inside a glass box was a unconscious pinkie was on all on all fours, only standing up due to the fact a bungie chord was wrapped around her mid-section tied to the celling. One of the walls behind had blood read words behind her that read LIFE IS NOT A PARTY! on her right was another small box. Pinkie woke up after small needle was jabbed into her leg. "Girls what's going on? How did I get here? Why am I tied down and my legs are bleeding! The crowd gasped when they looked closer at pinkie pie's restraints. Large blades stuck into the pink ponies calf muscles. "Owie owie owie owie, my legs hurt so much, help meeee!" "Don't you worry pinkie I will go find Twilight." Spike dashed into the town hall to find twilight and the mayor. The other three ponies looked at pinkie with looks of horror. Abruptly, the box next to the captured mare lit up with light and reveled the face of some sort of puppet. "Hello pinkie pie. I want to play a game." Pinkies mood immediately brightened up as she forgot about the danger she was in. "Oh my gosh I love to play games. What are we going to play? Pin the tail on the pony? Hopscotch? Tag? The strange puppet didn't acknowledge pinkie. "All your life you have abused yourself. Partying every day, every single day. Life should not be treated as a party, it should be valued as the most important thing in your life. You should not waste every minute that life gives to you. Pinkie's smile began to fade the longer the doll talked. "Why do you eat more than you need to? Why not donate some to the less fortunate who starve well you indulge on sweets. You always leap away from your problems and ignore them like they never happened. Well, let's see if you can jump away from this problem." Pinkies eyes were wide in terror by now. "All four of your legs have been implanted by four surrounding blades. In order to escape you must jump out of the restraints. Should you fail to escape within sixty seconds the bombs around you will go off, getting rid of your problems forever. I have utter faith in you since you were able to leap away from so much unresolved differences. Live or die, make your choice." The puppet faded out and was replaced by a timer counting down from sixty The ponies didn't know what bombs were but they knew it was something bad. "Noooo! Please, I'm soooo sorry for what ever I did to you, please don't kill me." Pinkie's plea for help were unsuccessful. She watched the tv count down to forty-five, the party pony knew what she had to do. "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" pinkie jumped with all her might but failed to escape her painful prison. The knives dove deeper into her muscle tendons. Hot blood spewed everywhere, covering the glass. Ponies screamed and ran in every direction. Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rarity watched hopelessly as their friend cut herself. "NO NO NO NOO-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Pinkie pie made another fruitless attempt to jump out of the painful trap. The pink mare's legs burned like fire. She couldn't bare the pain anymore. Please just end the pain. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" the puppet's voice echoed throughout the town square during the last ten seconds of the count down. Suddenly a large purple blast tore through the fence and glass separating pinkie from freedom. "I'll save you pinkie!" Twilight used her magic to bend back the knives holding pinkie in place causing the timer to stop. She quickly levitated her wounded friend next to her away from the death trap. Pinkie looked to twilight. "Thank you." Pinkie then fell over onto the hard ground.
