(Pyramid Head: Present)
Ouch, that kinda hurt. I groaned again, though, it was more of a wail than anything. "Luna... You know more than anyone to go prodding in my head..." I 'said' to the moon princess. "Please, leave my head alone. The last thing I need is shouting in it.
"Silence, Bane! I encountered your mind once before!" She yelled back at me. I inwardly smiled.
"And how well did that go? In an attempt to control me, you winded up with the Knife in your grasp. Tell me what you heard Luna..." She was hesitant, I could hear her breaths in my head.
"...It was a cold place. It looked like Canterlot Castle all those years ago, but... It felt like I was in a nightmare, and not the ones I deal with. There was a mist that seemed to swallow everything up and I could barely see my hoof in front of me. Then I heard the music... The bloody damned music... I do not know why it started, but I couldn't get it to stop. Even now, it still haunts me with its enticing melody..."
I rumbled and slammed my metal head to ground causing her to yelp in fright. "Get out of my head..." I heard something click and looked up to see the last mare I wanted to see. Celestia, broken, battered, bloodied, but otherwise still alive stood before me.
She had a sad look in her eyes, looking up at the precious bearers. She looked and saw Twilight desperately trying, failing, to break her own neck in an attempt to halt the voices in her head. I'm not sure if Celly could, but I know I could...
A failure! That's all you are!
Never in my life had I seen such a demented mare, to think you're the princess' protege!
Just end, you worm. You're nothing compared to what they could surmount to. Even Cadence is better than you.
She begged for them to stop, saying that she was something. They laughed in her face and in another fit, used her magic to try and break her neck once more before Celestia stopped her. "That's enough my dear student, please rest..." She said softly before Twilight closed her eyes and fell unconscious.
"Awww... She ruined my fun," I said to myself and leaned myself against the Great Knife. My voice came out garbled and metallic. "sO HoW WAs YoUR TrIp?" I asked her. She snarled at me and ripped a chunk of stone from the walls.
"You MONSTER!" She screamed at me throwing the boulder. My blade flew quick and stopped the boulder in its tracks. Unstoppable force, meet immovable object. The boulder was on my blade like a olive on a shish kabob. Two more smaller rocks were added, giving a hefty weight to the blade, but otherwise still felt the same. I saw tears flash in her eyes, I couldn't tell if they were sorrow, regret, or hate.
Actually, looking back on it now... they were empty. Empty tears, like that of someone who had seen too much. I ripped my Knife from the rocks and leaped in front of her, putting a meaty hand on her horn. The ring glowed with an intense power and I was able to see what had happened...
She entered Silent Hill...
She encountered the first monster...
She met the Siam and... Oh...? What's this? Murphy Pendleton? I was absent during this... AND she never called for me...
I felt a powerful force hit my stomach and I stumbled away from Celestia. Luna stood in front of her sister, her jaw clenched and she spook through her teeth. "Leave. My. Sister. ALONE!" My torso cocked to the side and I hefted the knife up over my shoulder. I growled at Luna, causing her to slip her stance only slightly. I regarded her for a minute before I sent my blade crashing into the marble floor. She looked at me, then the blade. "Well? Get on with it!"
I said nothing as I dragged the blade behind me, exiting the Elements' room. She wasn't worth it. I heard her scream for me to come back and fight, but I never did. Instead, I made it out to the courtyard, looking at all the statues. I saw many that I didn't know where there, but two in particular caught my eyes.
Discord's statue post, being barren. It must've stayed there so Celly could reminisce or something, then the other statue caught me eye. It was human, holding a two ended spear and it looked as though it was in the middle of an attack. My ring glowed a soft red light as I walked up to the statue. My hand ran along the stones' surface.
"Hahahaha! Watashi seresutia no anata no mahō o shiyō shiyou to shite iru!" ("Hahahaha! Trying to use your magic on me Celestia?!") A voice rang out from the statue. Cracks became more apparent on the statues' surface and it exploded with a white light. "Anata wa yowamushi o keisai shite kangaenakereba naranai!" ("You must think me for a weakling!")
As the light cleared, I looked up to see an armored samurai-esqe figure standing above me. "Watashi ni seresutia o kiku, banzai senshi wa kaettekita!!" ("Hear me Celestia, THE BANZAI WARRIOR IS BACK!!")
My ring glowed with an intensity of red. Kill him, he is a sinner... one of Pride... I know how much you hate the prideful ones...
"Nani? Machigatta seresutia wa nanidesu ka? Anata no unmei o mitasu koto o osorete?" ("What? What's wrong Celestia? Afraid to meet your doom?") I had no idea what he was saying, but I didn't like his voice. It was... obnoxious...
I groaned and gained his attention. "Na-Nani?! Seresutia! Anata wa watashi o tatakau tame ni tesaki, sābanto o sōshin! ...Bakkin. Watashitachiha, kare ga watashi no tsubasa harikēn ni taishite dono yō ni shori suru ka o mite mimashou!" ("Wh-What?! Celestia! You send a minion, a servant, to fight me?! ...Fine. Let us see how he handles against my BLADE HURRICANE!")
He twirled his spear around and it gathered some wind around it. Huh, I'm fighting an Elemental... whoopy... The spear whipped in my direction, making gales that stung. When I saw that a miniature full force hurricane had manifested, I clenched the Knife and stuck it in the ground. The Halo of the Sun swallowed up the knife, and replaced with a long, wooden shaft. I tugged on the Great Spear and held it aloft as the white clouds quickly went red.
"Sore wa dono yō ni kanjirudeshou ka? ! Wareware ga hanasu yō ni o hada ni kuimono ni sa rete iru koto o shitte iru!" ("How does it feel?! Knowing that your skin is being ripped off as we speak?!")
My spear flew through the clouds and into his chest. "Nani?" The tempest stopped and I stood in front of him gripping the spear and thrusting forward. "Itai... AHHHH! Itai! Itai! Itai! Itai! Itai! Itai! Itai!" ("It Hurts... AHHHH! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!")
He fell to the ground, gripping the spear. He then looked up at me with tears in his eyes. "Māshī... Māshī!!" (Mercy... MERCY!!)
I bent down to his ear. "WHerE YoU aRe GoINg, MErCy iS NOt aN OpTIon..."
He looked at me with pained eyes as the Halo opened up underneath him. I enjoyed his screams... He screamed like a girl...
