Prologue
“Suicide is Painless”
Out in the desolate frozen wastelands of the Crystal Mountains, a small figure trudged through the snow.
It was a small yellow pegasus, her light pink mane blew in the wind. She continued to claw her away across the ice and snow.
She was completely and utterly alone. No else for hundreds of miles. It was just her and the voices in her head, all of them whispering and chanting dark thoughts.
Just do it. The voice in her head said. Just do it and nopony else will suffer.
A frigid gust of wind of wind blew across the lonely pegasus, chilling her to the bone.
Look at yourself. You’re a freak. A failure. A monster. Why go on anymore? All it’ll do is cause you and everypony else in the world more suffering. They all hate you. Do them a favor.
She shook her head to make the voices stop and pulled her black jacket over her body in a vain attempt to shield herself from the cold.
Put an end to it. You have nothing to look forward to. Just put an end to it all and spare everypony any more pain and suffering.
She climbed to the top of a hill and stopped, exhausted.
Her body ached and moaned with exhaustion as if she was carrying a massive weight on her back.
The voice in her mind continued. It’s so simple. All it takes is one little tug and everypony will be freed from that horrible monster forever.
She tried to keep going, but her body simply wouldn't respond. She tried to lift her legs, but they felt like they weighed a ton. Suddenly the snow beneath her hooves gave way and she went tumbling down the hill again, coming to a stop next to a large block of ice.
Can’t you see? It’s all totally pointless. Just end it all. Right here. Right now. You know you want to.
She started to cry, bringing her frost bitten hooves to her face. Each sobbing breath caused the inside of her body to suddenly be awash in freezing cold air, chilling her to the very core.
Do it.
She let out a sob and reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a small black gun.
There you go. That’s it. So simple.
She lifted the gun slowly, the cold wind cutting through her jacket like a knife.
The instrument of your salvation. Isn’t it beautiful.
She paused and looked at the gun. It was a relatively simple one, built more for concealed carrying then firepower. It had a simple lever for which non-magic users could pull the trigger with, and it was nicely polished and completely brand new, it’s surface reflecting the face of the pegasus. Her blue eyes were sunken in and looked more like black holes then actual eyes. Her face was worn from the wind and she looked sick.
You’re a complete failure aren’t you? The voice repeated.
Fluttershy Braveheart, freak, monster, murder. A failed science experiment and nothing more.
She opened her mouth slowly and edged the gun inside.
Go on…put it in.
The freezing metal burned the inside of her mouth like a burning coal.
Don’t worry. Go on. Do it. It’ll all be over soon. So incredibly simple. Now just pull the trigger and end it all.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
There you go. Good girl. The world won’t miss you. They’ll all be so thankful for this. And you’ll be free. Free from all pain and suffering. Just pull the trigger. So simple.
She pulled the trigger and everything went black.

Pain. Why was there pain? It looked down at the ground and saw a small black object.
It slammed a hoof down the object that must have caused it such pain, crushing it underhoof. It roared at the sky. All it wanted was to be left alone. Even here it was hunted.
It leap off the hill and off into the wilds
Well... yes it is dark, but people tend to do weird things when your split-personality can rip an entire city to shreds
you have my track
And where is the frozen body of Captain Equestia?
Wow....dark, damn. Fluttershy does not deserve tihs....that is sad, but it needed to be done...not that it worked. I written much, much darker but then again I'm almost a master at dark and tragic I love this story....wonder where Angel is though
What have you done to Fluttershy
NEVER...NEVER WRITE DARK S..T LIKE THAT AGAIN! EVER! media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp63n9j0381qdeq5f.gif
Wow, you used the alternate opening to the Incredible Hulk movie. This is going to make things a bit interesting...
Interesting. I appear to be the only one to not find this all that dark, (although that may be because I just re watched the Avengers and remember Banner saying that "He spat it [the bullet] out.") and instead focus on the fact that you used the vocal version of the theme song to M*A*S*H as both the title and as the closing statement.
"It was a relatively simple one, build for non-magic users." Built, not build. or "made".
Holy shitzzle! MORE OR I WILL PULL RHE TRIGGER ON MY OWN MOUTH.
My good sir, I'm afraid that you've broken one of the most enforced rules in the brony community. What rule, you may ask? Simply the one that states that YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH FLUTTERSHY LIKE THAT UNLESS YOU WANT A MOB AFTER YOU.
wow. what a start. looking forward to reading this
So should we assume that, when Hulked-out, Fluttershy's wings are essentially worthless?
Strong, dark opening. Two typos I noticed, though: In "It nicely polished and completely brand new, it’s surface reflecting the face of the pegasus" the it's should not have an apostrophe as in this case it is being used to indicate possession, and an apostrophe is not used in that case. (it's with an apostrophe is only used in place of it is or it has; don't ask me why, it's just the rule) Also, the last sentence lacks a period--though that one may have been an aesthetic choice.
Though honestly, the fact the only thing I could really complain about in this chapter is a typo really indicates how strong and interesting an opening it is.
3563323 Yes, considering they're small to begin with, and she gains several hundred pounds in the transformation.
3802728 No they will work because the wings of Pegasi in the show are actually too small to carry them in flight so it must be some form of magic that enables them to fly.
Did you know the song "Suicide is Painless" was the theme song for the M*A*S*H movie and TV show?
Dark or not, it was very dramatic. I think this was a seriously cool way to introduce the Hulk.

It is. I'm pretty sure Bruce Banner from the actual movie mentioned this, but it was never shown as a scene.
Nick: The cell was just in case--
Bruce: You needed to kill me. I know. I tried.
~silence~
Bruce: I got low. I didn't see an end so I put a bullet in my mouth and the "other guy" spit it out. So I moved on. I focused on helping other people. I was good, until you dragged me back in this "freak show" and put everyone here at risk. You wanna know my secret Agent Romanoff? You wanna know how I stay calm?
~silence~
Steve: Doctor Banner. Put down the scepter.
I'm sorry, I'm a Marvel fanatic . I watched the movie several dozen times- I could recite the movie forwards and backwards. (I did once when I was drunk. A couple of friends recorded it )
Is Blonsky gonna be in this?
What was it Banner said in Avengers about this?
“I got Low, and insane so I put a shot in my mouth and the other guy spit it out.”
