I hit the grass below like a comet. How I survived I didn’t know, I could feel a soul shattering pain in my ribs as I crashed down on the seemingly soft grass. I blacked out for a split second, lying on my back I had the perfect view of the executioner, 1000 of years of rocks were about to crush me into bits.

I had no real escape route, I didn’t know where the princess was, my friends were all around me, alive but barely. I then saw the shadow before me, it growing larger and larger by each second until it engulfed everything around me.

Then all of a sudden it was gone; I looked up and the mountain was where it once was, as though we were never there.

“I can do that too” Princess Celestia said; I got up and dropped down on 1 hoof before trying to make a run for it. Sadly I tripped over Ayan’s corpse causing me to sprawl again falling on my ribs again. I looked up once again the princess was trotting towards me.

I saw Issac running forward behind her, his entire suit looked like a tin can hit by a sledgehammer

“RUN, RUN!!!!!” He screamed, I saw my friends bolting up and running into the forest. I turned once again, just in time to see Issac fighting a losing battle against an undefeatable enemy. I began running with my friends, the last time I turned around to see a sort of cinema. Celestia’s horn smashed through Issac’s chest coming out the other side with all of Issac’s organs, intestines and other. Nonetheless the engineer pulled out his plasma cutter and helplessly shot at Celestia’s head before his head fell back and his rig went black.

I never looked back, all i could think was:

We ran, for several minutes, I swore to god we lost her. Was Issac still alive fighting her off to save us? Was she in hot pursuit? Before long we slowed down, we were all winded and exhausted. Dead tired,

“I think we are safe for now” I said in between my shallow breathing

“Your right- GOD FUCKING DAMMMMMIMT!” Mike screamed; I turned around in horror to see why the Princess hadn’t chased after us before, she was just flying above the trees out of sight waiting for us to tire ourselves out. It was a trap!

I ran as fast as I could, everything hurt, I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t focus, I was in hell but everything I believed in me told me to keep going. My friends were slowing down first. I was probably in the worst shape and I was now trailing, constantly getting closer to Princess Molestia. I then realized we couldn’t make it to the castle like this.

“Guys just run” I said, they didn’t respond, they couldn’t. I just dropped rolling in the grass for a few moments in the dust of my friends. I knew I had no chance now; it was all about running down the clock, every second I held her off was a second more they could run and hide.

I had long ago dropped my pulse rifle but my plasma cutter had been attached to my suit. I grabbed it and fired, once, twice, thrice, four times. Every round doing nothing, the first round hitting the dirt right by Celestia’s hoof, the 2nd went wide into a nearby tree, the 3rd was a direct hit and the 4th too. Nothing fazed her.

I tried to crawl in the opposite direction but I was already too late. I couldn’t hear Celestia’s running anymore but instead slow and calm trotting.

I turned around to see Celestia in front of me, her horn somehow clean.

“Nice try Vespi” She said “Very noble, or did you just want to get molested?”

I obviously didn’t

“Sure you didn’t” She said “Did you seriously think you could kill me? I would have taken a bribe. Your friend the Slender man did.”

...of course the one idea from Mike I don’t listen to works!

I could barely move anymore, I didn’t know if it was he magic or me dying of exhaustion. I felt some electronics spark and like that my helmet was yanked off and tossed to the side. I then felt the same thing happen to my chest plate, I felt myself burn a little bit from the short circuiting of the armor, but like the helmet all the electronics in the world couldn’t stop Celestia from getting what she wanted, and everything from my pants down was yanked off and tossed to the side.

“Relax” Celestia said, an evil smile on her face “Remember protect and serve?”

“God where is Vespi?” Mike asked; of all the stallions missing only Vespi and Ayan were absent. Ayan was obviously dead but where was Vespi?

“He dropped before” Dan said “Poor bastard”

“I would have dropped” Tyler joked

“Where is Issac?” Conor asked

“Dead” Nico said “Okay any pony knows where we are going?”

“Vespi had a map” Silver Shield said “What do we do? HOW DO WE GO BACK?”

“Relax bro we can see the Castle from above” Dan said “Let me fly up” like that Dan flew up above, a second later he flew down.

“This way” He said pointing in one of 360 directions.

“Lead the way” Mike said

For some time they walked through the woods in the clunky armor Vespi suggested, bad idea. The only one with any sort of weapon was Silver Shield who somehow held onto his detonator through that ordeal. They were blessed to find a trail, although it was aged and narrow it showed something was on one of the side.

Thinks went dandy for several moments on the trail. But before long fog engulfed the trail, it was so thick some of the ponies almost wondered off of the trail, only to find the way soon. Before long Dan and Mike (Who were both first) turned into pony statues.

“O my god what is that?” Mike asked; what he saw was a very, very tall man, maybe 12 feet tall, with long hands, almost touching the grass right on the trail. He wore a dark black suit with a red tie and had no facial expression. In fact he didn’t even seem to have a face.

“Jesus what is that thing?” Silver Shield said, stuttering the entire sentence

“I want 20 dowwah” the creature said in an overly black voice.

“Okay…” Tyler said

“Can I have 20 dowwah” he asked

“Sure” Dan said, taking out a 20 dollar bill “But one thing”

“What? He asked

“Go save our friend Vespi from the Princess Molestia okay?” Dan said, the creature just shot out a tentacle and took the 20 dollars. He then began to run in the direction they had come from, arms dragging.

“Well that was interesting” Conor said

***

You know what being kinky is? Well there is a different between getting your ass kicked and being kinky. Basically princess Celestia threw me into a tree. A TREE!

Now here I am with my ribs broken and Princess Celestia right over me. My leg armor was yanked off and tossed to the side with the rest of the expensive armor.

I tried to stand again; I could feel pain everywhere.

“Where you going hon?” Princess Celestia said “Why can’t you love me!?”

“BECAUSE I’M MARRIED” I yelled “I DON’T LOVE YOU AND I NEVER WILL”

This actually stopped Princess Celestia for a moment. She actually looked sad

If I was my normal self I’d stopped there and controlled myself but after almost dying numerous times over this I wouldn’t allow it

“WHY THE FUCK DO YOU EVEN WANT ME!? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!? THERE IS A REASON NO PONY EVER LOVED YOU, YOUR OWN SISTER FUCKING HATES YOU!” I screamed, I actually saw a tear fall from Celestia’s eye.

“THAT’S RIGHT I HATE YOU, EVERYPONY HATES YOOOOOOOU!” I screamed again; what happened was

unforgettable. I felt a screaming pain in my torso, something different. As though something just rammed into me; I looked down and there was Celestia’s horn. She had stabbed me like Issac, I was impaled.

Celestia backed up after a second, leaving me to drop.

“I’ll always love you” She whispered, before running off in the opposite direction.

I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t feel anything, I was dying. Alone, afraid, depressed, un fulfilled by life. I felt the man in my chest intensify, blood was gushing all under me, a puddle.

I knew there was no chance I’d survive, this was the end. No little colts and fillies, no more adventures with friends, no more life. Game over

“Guys” I whispered “6 friends and luck……..”

I closed my eyes for one last time; my hour of death was near.
