Show Stopper

Soarin was walking back to Canterlot on this fine night, choosing not to fly because he had been drinking at the party that he had just left from. The Wonderbolts had preformed earlier that day here in ponyville and thier biggest fan and once saviuor; Rainbow Dash, had invited them to a party. Soarin was the only member who decided to go; mainly because he heard that there would be apple pie made by the same earth pony from the Gala, and now he was heading home to his nice comfy bed.

Soarin felt temped to fly even though he was drunk; because his front hooves were kinda sore from partying, but he did not want to get anoter FUI (flying under the influence). He suddenly stopped and vomited in a bush and groaned. Soarin turned and saw a flash and then a silouette of a pegasus pony flying away. He was momentarily blinded as he groaned yet again, as he realized it was a pony from the paparazzi.

Freakin' paparazzi.... can't they every leave anypony alone? Soarin thought to himself.

Soarin groggily continued his journey back home so he could sleep. He stopped a few times for random ponies who walked by and asked for an autograph, and to vomit a few times. Finally he saw Canterlot come into view and he felt renewed vigor and started to pick up his pace at the thought of his bed. Then he noticed a figure coming from Canterlot towards him and he sighed as he realized he will have to sign yet another autograph, but then he gasped as he finally saw who it was.

Nightmare Moon was lost in thought, thinking about how she would torture the fools who dare defy her, when she noticed a pony in the distance who was shakily heading in her direction. She grinned as the pony came into the light of the moon and she recognized the outfit of her new target.

She saw the pony defer of his path for a moment to empty what little of his contents his stomach contained. Nightmare Moon smirked at the pegasus pony who was obviously very ineibrated. She recalled him as a member of the popular preforming team the Wonderbolts. Whom the rainbow pegasus; she would soon go after, adored most in this world. Other than her friends who wield the Elements of Harmony.

Nightmare approached the preformer pegasus who she knew would trust her slightly, due to looking like one of his Princesses.

"Why hello loyal subject.... I'm sorry, but I am at a loss for your name...." She looked down feining guilt.

"Sssshhhoarin M'Lady, at your *hic* sssshhhervice..." Soarin slurred

"Soarin, is it? would mind helping me find my way to the closest abandoned house? I need to stay somewhere secluded, for I am on a secret royal mission in Ponyville and I require some rest."

"Sssshhhhure! *hic* No Prrrroblem your Highnessssshhh."

Soarin wobbled a little ways into town and lead a old worn out house that looked like it should be demolished, that or a axe murder could be lurking in there. The windows were destroyed and boarded up, the front door was also boarded up. NIghtmare smiled, This is the perfect place! She looked at Soarin and she felt a laugh build up, but she held it back so as to not scare her prey away.

"Um, could you please remove the boards blocking the forward entrance?" She asked sweetly.

"Ssshhhure! Let me *hic* let that real quick." Soarin zigzagged sloppily up to the entrance and slowly removed each board. As he removed the last board Nightmare picked up one of the discarded ones and bashed him on the back of the head so hard it snapped in half. A trickle of blood seeped down the back of the pegasi's head and the twisted mare of doom licked it up, relishing the saltiness of the maroon liquid.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soarin woked up and groaned as he felt the back of his head throb and he reached back, feeling a large knot. He looked around to figure out what in Celestia's name was going on. Suddently he realized that he was inside the abandoned building! Soarin started to get up, when a sudden jolt of fire-like pain coursed from his wings made his drop with a gasp of agony.

Suddenly a light turned on blinding the preformer for a moment, and when he opened his eyes he saw Princess Luna standing in the entrance to the room.

"Princess! W-what is going on!?" Soarin gasped.

"Just your final performance im afraid dear Soarin." Nightmare laughed.

The blue pegasus pony look back at his wings and saw that they each were pinned down by six nails. Soarin yelled in panic and tried to free his wing to no advail, only causing him tremendous pain. He sobbed as his wings felt like they were on fire.

"B-b-but why!? Princess Lun-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Soarin sreamed as one of his rear hooves was suddenly pinned to the ground with several nails.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT WEAK EXCUSE OF A PONY!!!" Nightmare Moon yelled in rage at the pony. Her horn shined as an idea came to her mind, she zapped Soarin's mind. "I hear you like pies.... so why don't you enjoy the ones if front of you!?"

Soarin looked at his hooves and started drooling. Nightmare has put an illusion on the pony, making him think his own front hooves were made of apple pies.

"Tell you what little Soarin, eat all those pies I have presented you wtih and you can have your freedom."

"Really!? Thats all I have to do? Is eat some pies!?" Soarin looked down and ripped a chunk of flesh off from his left front hoof and immediately screamed in agony, but he still gulped down the piece of his own leg. "Why does it hurt!!!"

"Don't worry dear Soarin, the pain will dissappear completely once you finish those pies." She talked as if talking to an infant smiling cruely at the predicament of the pony laying in front of her.

Soain nodded and bit off another piece of his left leg convulsing as pain coursed through his body like wild fire. Tears were streaming down his cheeks as he continued to slowly consume his left leg, until all that was left was his bones.

"C-can I stop? PLEASE!" Soarin begged as h was on the verge of collapsing.

"No, a deal is a deal. Now hurry up and finish what you got like a big boy."

Soarin sobbed and ripped a large strip of flesh off his right leg and immediately dropped it as his body convulsed from the shock. He flopped around in the pool of blood that he was laying in covering himself in the crimson liquid. When the convulsions stopped he weakly grabbed the strip of flesh he dropped and painfully swallowed it. Soarin was slowly blacking out, but still he continued determined to get out of this mess. Soarin bit into his leg, but passed out only partially cutting through the chunk.

Nightmare Moon laughed and started to leave, but then looked back at the unconcious pony. She walked back bent down and nipped of the rest of the piece of leg. She chewed thoughtfully and then swallowed.

"Not bad. Could use a little hot sauce."
