I'm here to shank and smile!
Chapter 2: Can't spell slaughter without laughter
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“Oh how it feels to be breathing the air in, now the only thing this is missing is my axe,” I said as I stretched in the sunlight. I held out my hand as told digistruct to create a new axe for me. I smiled as I looked upon the blood stained axe, with countless years of wear and tear from use on. “Now then best boot up my echo device so I can get a reading on my shield.”
As the echo powered on, a guard had walked around the corner to check for anything discord had left behind to cause more chaos. As he finished turning and saw me I screamed out a phrase said countless times before,
“GRIND GRIND GRIND KILL KILL KILL!”
My axe revved to life as I lunged at the guard ready to kill him. When I landed I immediately had started to swing the axe at him, screaming for blood. He stood stock still in shock as the axe came at him and connected, tearing into him with a meaty squelch. The axe tore through his skull in a spray of blood and a grinding of bone before reaching his brain and ending his life as he screamed from the pain.
“GRIND THE CARTILAGE!” I screamed as he fell to the ground with a thump, lying there never to move again. I immediately ran at the exit of the garden looking for more things to kill. As I burst through the exit I saw the streets were empty and the sun and moon swapping randomly in place. I sprinted down the streets looking for a detachment of guards to kill for my blood lust.
I heard shouting ahead of me as several guards rounded the corner and stopped at the sight of me, immediately raising weapons to me. And I of course ran at them screaming and waving my bloody buzz axe.
“NEVER STOP THE KILLING!! NEVER!” I ran at the spears, fearless and as the stabbed me they snapped against my shield, which immediately shot out corrosive spikes to kill them. Fools always thinking that sticks like that could kill me.
I swung my axe into their ranks catching one guard by his chest with the axe, and ripping through him in a spray of gore leaving him to bleed to death from the gouge in him. However as this happened the unicorns had launched several spells at me with the intent of stunning me. However as they hit me my shield took some damage but launched several spikes into the spell casters dropping two of them to the ground screaming as their faces melted.
A couple of earth ponies had turned to buck me but as they raised their legs I had noticed and started to swing at one of them. Mid-buck I had caught the one on the right and gone clean through his leg and into the other, however the other pony had hit me and sent me flying. It however did not break my shield and he then had to deal with the spike damage melting his legs off of him slowly. His screams being music to my ears.
As the guards finally realized they were outmatched they tried to run. However as they fled I wound my arm back and prepared to throw my buzz axe into them. My arm shot forward releasing the axe and its deadly payload of explosives into the area of the guards. As it exploded it had instantly killed four guards and hurt two other beyond healing. that left a guard to run and spread the tale of slaughter to others.
I had decided to leave as i was in no condition to fight Celestia or Luna. I left the area searching for a train station of some sort. As I ran around Canterlot i had noticed several strange things such a pink clouds or chocolate milk puddles. I eventually found the train station, however it was just leaving the station. I ran to try to catch the train, however i was just a little too late and it was in motion, I jumped for it and managed to stick my axe in the side of the last car just in time. As the train sped on the anomalies seemed to stop happening.
Celestia POV
A guard burst into the room panting for breath “Princess, some sort of beast has escaped the Canterlot garden!” he was still panting heavily. “It… It killed them all it only left me alive, I ran as fast as I could, i thought it would come after me for sure!” Panted out the guard wheezing.
“Calm my little pony,I will assemble the Elements and we will deal with this.” I said to the terrified guard.
I instantly summoned up a scroll and quill and wrote to Twilight and her friends. “Dear Twilight, I need for you and the Elements to return to Canterlot, a new threat unlike anything before has emerge and we need your help to contain it.” After finishing it i sent it to spike to notify the girls immediately.
30 min. later
“Princess we are here, what is the new threat,” said my young student
“This is a threat unlike any other you have faced, Know only as Bloodshed and his abilities are many and varied. He is known to have a shield made of some type of energy that can fire off acidic spikes when hurt, and no normal weapon can pierce it. He has abnormal strength, even more then me or Luna, and is known for wielding a spinning axe. Unlike many he will kill whenever given the chance and can steal the life from his foes to heal himself. He is almost immune to fire almost completely and seems to get more powerful when he is flaming. He can also make enemies explode into gore when they are killed and seems to never die and always come back to life, and when heavily damaged he is able to almost fully heal himself and increase in strength for a while,” I said to explain his abilities.
"The Everfree itself is a testament to his power, it used to be a normal forest until he arrived. It is said he spilled so much innocent blood that the forest itself became corrupt and bent to his very will from the blood lust," I added to explain just how deadly he is.
“So what we will still kick his flank Princess , you can count on us,” said Rainbow
“Ugg, what a brute,” exclaimed Rarity.
“I’m sure that we can take him down Princess,” said my faithful student, Twilight.
“I hope sure girls, I hope so,” I said quietly as I could.
