Slender
Chapter 2: 13
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was walking with Twilight to the train to Ponyville. The local residents were staring at me fearfully as I made my way through the city, some even looking queasy after noticing I had no face, I then noticed that Twilight had not gotten her wings yet, so I must be earlier in the timeline than what I’ve so far seen… Twilight then looked to me and smiled, instead of trying to smile back, I gave a thumb up, I don’t want to know what the Slenderman smiling would look like, and I don’t want to subject Twily to that. “So… why are we going to this Ponyville place? Do you have friends there?”
Twilight nodded “My best friends, actually. If anyone can help you, it’s me and my friends.”
I paused and scratched my head “Help? Why do I need help?”
Twilight smiled “Well, it seems you need help controlling your magic and your temper, and all that you seem to own is that one suit, so-”
“I’m not removing this suit.”
Twilight looked to me curiously “What? Why?”
I sighed “I don’t want to, my suit is, as you said, the only thing I own, also, I don’t know if my… magic has stained this suit or not, and I REALLY don’t want to turn a pony into some sort of Slenderman copy out to kill me or something, I mean, how Cliché would that be?”
Twilight stared at me blankly “Okay then, nevermind the new clothes, but I’d still rather you got some magic training from me.”
I shook my head “No Twilight, I don’t think I can do the same magic as you.”
Twily laughed “Really? Because you have teleporting down pat already.”
I laughed “No, that was Slenderwalking, WAAAY different.”
Twily raised an eyebrow “How is it different, exactly?”
I sighed “One, the energy I use could kill a pony, two, if it didn’t kill them instantly, it would give them the lender-sickness, which is like radiation sickness but a slower more painful death. With Slender-sickness, you slowly lose all your hair, your fingernails and teeth fall out, and your skin peels off, it also comes with madness and suicidal depression, ending in a deadly coma.” Twilight blanched at the thought of this and I continued “Three, and the biggest difference, is that slenderwalking transcends space and time, I can go back and forth through time, and go anywhere I want…as soon as I figure out how to control it.”
Twilight nodded “And… may I ask what was with the whole static thing?”
I sighed as we reached the train “That was my slender aura, it makes machines stop working, and from what I felt, it also cancels out magical energy.”
Twilight nodded “What else can you do?”
I scratched my head for a moment “Well…” I let out my slendrils and waved them around “I can use these, and my size and density can change at will…”
Twilight jawdropped “Okaay… you may want to put those away before you give someone a heart attack.”
I nodded and retracted my slendrils before boarding the train and sitting next to Twily as the train began to pull out “Okay… so… how do you think your friends will react to me? I mean, a giant monster with no face does not exactly translate to big cuddly Love bug.”
Twilight paused at this, then looked to me as if she were about to say something to me, then paused again “How about I prep them for you?”
I sighed and nodded, waiting for the train to reach ponyville, deciding to just take a nap when we heard an explosion behind us, I looked behind me to find a pair of unicorns that I did not recognize “…Twily, I think we’re in some trouble.” I looked to the unicorns and saw that there was blood on their coats, it seems they have killed someone… “Twily? Can I kill them?”
Twily shook her head “No! Celestia wanted me to keep an eye on-“
I looked angrily to her “They are murderers, Twilight.”
Twilight faltered “Th-they killed somepony?”
I nodded “They are bad ponies, they might hurt somepony else.”
Twilight looked to me and then to the unicorns, which were getting closer, I could hear them laughing now, celebrating their kills, she sighed and closed her eyes “Do it…”
I slenderwalked to the unicorns, who whinnied in surprise before trying to cast a spell at me, only for it to fizzle and die upon reaching me, the unicorn to my left screamed “WHAT THE BUCK IS THIS THING?!”
I grabbed him and screamed in his face, my mouth tearing open before his face in a shower of black viscous saliva “I AM YOUR DOWNFALL!” I grabbed his other friend and released my slender aura full force, making them scream out in pain and vomit blood “NOW DIE!”
I readied an extra dense slendril and impaled them both on it before I felt a massive rush through my body, it felt as if I had just eaten a full meal of nothing but purest sugar, accept it was all the sugar high, and none of the stomach ache. I felt more alive than I have in years… and it terrified me… I cleaned off my slendril and retracted it into my back, concentrating and making my slender aura dissipate before turning to Twily, who was crying in fear “Wh-why did you take it so far?”
I sighed and sat down next to her, feeling altogether crummy “I… I don’t know…”
Twilight nodded before looking to the corpses and gasped “Th-The corpses! Look!” I turned to the bodies to see that they were dematerializing into black cubes that flowed into my shadow and melded with it, I felt stronger, fuller, better… I don’t like it…
“It seems killing makes me stronger…” I sighed as the power settled within me and looked to Twily “Twilight, I’m scared as well, I do not like the monster I am becoming…”
We then touched down at the station I came off to find a Hockey mask that reminded me of a certain horror movie villain lying on the ground, I picked it up and felt a voice in my head, I then realized that I was speaking without realizing it "Rise! Rise Up Jason And Live Again!"
Suddenly out of nowhere the area was covered in mist and a very tall shadow slowly walked toward us. The shadow revealed one of most famous fictional killers in history. Jason Voorhees.
He was dragging a dead woman by the hair, upon seeing us he let go of her hair. Reaching into a pocket he pulled out a wooden sign that read as follows:
HI. YOU CALLED?
I stared at the dead woman, then to the man who I had viewed on the slashers so often "That Had best not be an innocent." My mouth began to show as a slight static aura began to show.
Jason merely tilted his head and pulled out another sign from the same pocket:
DEFINE INNOCENT. BUT IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION NO SHE WAS NOT.
I calmed down and let my mouth reseal and my aura died down "Good, else I'd of been royally pissed, people who kill for killings sake, or from carelessness really piss me off." I then paused a moment and looked to Twilight "Twilight, this is Jason Voorhees, one of the greatest killing forces from my home, along with me... I guess."
Jason pulled out a sign that depicted a pair of eyes rolling then pulled out another sign that said:
HELLO TWILIGHT SPARKLE. AND CONTRARY TO WHAT SLENDERMAN SAYS I AM THE GREATEST KILLING FORCE. I HAVE THE HIGHEST BODY COUNT IN HORROR MOVIES.
I sighed "Yes, but only because no one has the balls to make movies about me, it's a shame, I'm told I am an excellent actor."
HEH. YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER.
Twily paled and looked to us in horror "They make MOVIES about killing where you are from?!"
YES. THEY DO. AND IT IS QUITE LUCRATIVE. BUT THAT'S AN EXPLANATION/STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME. WHY AM I HERE SLENDY?
I shrugged "I found the mask and felt a voice in my head, next thing I knew I was calling you. Felt bloody weird."
Spike then ran up to Twilight from out of nowhere and stood between us "Don't Worry Twilight! I'll protect you!"
I looked to Jason for a moment "Hey, before we sort this out, I gotta ask, how do you know what signs to make ahead of time?"
WHEN WILE E. COYOTE ANSWERS THAT I WILL TOO.
I laughed and looked to Spike and tried transmitting the knowledge of my situation to him, I then made a shushing motion as he slowly calmed down, "Sooo... either of you play hoofball?"
I DON'T.
I shook my head and looked to Spike "Hey, buddy, tell me why you were running here in the first place."
Spike then pounded his palm in his fist like in an anime "Oh yeah! Twilight, You gotta help! The Diamond Dogs kidnapped Rarity!"
COOL! WHO WANTS TO LEAVE HER TO HER FATE AND GO OUT FOR ICE CREAM INSTEAD?
I glared at Jason "No." I then began briskly walking toward the Diamond Dog lair with Twilight and Spike.
HEY! I WAS JUST KIDDING. WAIT FOR ME.
Jason quickly caught up to us in only a few strides and pulled out a new sign. This one appeared to be rather worn and written in blood.
IS LETHAL FORCE AUTHORIZED?
I smiled and nodded, reaching the lair within moments, I turned to Twilight and nodded "We will be back shortly." I then walked to the first hole I could find and found a Diamond Dog trying to seal the tunnel, I sent out a tendril and impaled him, absorbing his corpse even quicker than before as I slunk down the hole into the belly of the beast.
A sign appeared out of some mist and hit me in the face. It read:
SHOULDN'T YOU BE PLAYING YOUR THEME?
I shook my head "No, I don't want to scare Rarity. Besides, if the Dogs are scared shitless they won't put up a fight."
Another sign appeared
YOU DO REALIZE THAT RARITY WILL BE SCARED NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. AND THE SONG INCREASES YOUR INTIMIDATION FACTOR. BUT WHATEVER. YOUR CALL.
I scratched my head absently as we got closer to the chamber where the Dogs were "yeah... but the first verse makes me sound like a pedophile..."
SNRK. TRUE. JUST DEAL WITH IT.
I sighed and began to play The song as I came upon the army of D-Dogs, I gestured to the small guys "I'll use him as a weapon, tear his arms off and bludgeon the others with them... what do you think?
THAT'S THE SPIRIT.
Jason pulled out his trademark Machete and advanced on his own group of Diamond Dogs.
Meanwhile, I slenderwalked to the small one and ripped his arms off with my slendrils, bludgeoning his comrades with them until they were beaten and bloodied, before I could continue, I was dog piled upon, the Dogs wailing on me without mercy, I then remembered the Animeme wrap battle including Slendy and shouted "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" I then tripled in size and began sewing chaos among their ranks
Suddenly a nearby wall exploded revealing Jason holding up a sign that read:
WELCOME TO DIE!!!
The dogs all began running like wussies as I spotted Rarity cowering at a trolley, I slenderwalked to her and bowed "We have come to rescue you, madame Rarity."
Rarity fainted and fell on a couch that materialized from thin air alongside a rather dirty Pinkie Pie, who smiled "HI!"
I did a small double take "ANDRASTE'S EVER LOVING TITS! How'd you do that!"
Pinkie Pie then produced a pair of shades "Because YOLO, that's why."
THE HELL IS YOLO?
I sighed and facepalmed "It's short for You Only Live Once..." I guess Pinkie is even MORE unpredictable as an Anthro
Jason snapped the neck of one more dog before plunging his recently used sign straight through it's spine and planting it in the ground.
AS FUN AS KILLING DIAMOND DOGS IS THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER REASON WHY I'M HERE BESIDES TO RESCUE A RARITY.
I scratched my head a moment "Well... I COULD use an explanation of what the hell is going on... I bought a tie from a merchant at Comicon and I woke up in the royal gardens... Also, I really fucking miss blinking."
UGH, THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW NOW OR WAIT TILL WE GET OUT OF HERE?
I sighed "I guess I can wait, but...I don't suppose you know anyone who sells magic masks, or some crap that will give me EYES! Again, Blinking, miss it."
Jason walked over to me and pulled out a marker, drawing a pair of eyes and a smiley face on me.
BETTER?
I sighed and wiped off the marker "You suck..."
BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS I MAY KNOW SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP WITH THAT. I'LL TELL YOU AFTER I DEBRIEF YOU.
I nodded and picked up Rarity and walked to the tunnel I slid down, climbing it Doc Ock style with my slendrils. I then dropped Rarity in front of Twilight who was waiting outside "Take her to a hospital, who knows what those Dogs did to her.".
INSERT LEWD JOKE HERE.
I sighed and then turned to Pinkie, who was riding on my back "You can get off now, and you," I turned to Jason "are a pervert."
GUILTY. MORE OR LESS.
Pinkie smiled and got off before looking to us and gasping before jumping, which, as I noticed with a blush, did VERY interesting things with her breasts. "I know! I should throw you guys a party!"
NOW WHO'S THE PERVERT > : )
I looked to Pinkie and sighed "Bring booze..."
AND A SCREEN. I'LL PROBABLY NEED A SCREEN.
