Honestly, the tortures in this one had some references and some made, thus this chapter can be described as GrimDark.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" Charge shouted stomping his hoof as the SlenderPony had risen.

" All I have to do is wait for him to become solid and give one good blow on him," Charge thought to himself making it seem easier than it really was.

"................"

" Hmph! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Charge said as if he understood him.

"..........."

" Well! Come right fucking at me!" Charge shouted.

The faceless pony then galloped with his tentacles emerged from his body ready to strike.

Mr. Charge headed straight into battle too as he flung a book firstly and ran to his target.

Every second of this moment had seemed to move in slow motion. The book slowly glided through the air approaching the suited stallion as both readied their attacks.

The book spun mid air as it slowly phased through the SlenderPony as Mr. Charge dashed off through the other clothed pony surpassing the book. At the feel of a tentacle slightly touching Mr.Charge, he then forced his body downwards placing all of his body weight beneath him as one hoof held onto the other in an offensive position of an elbow dive strike.

" I win."

*POW*

Mr. Charge's attack was successful on impact on the materialized SlenderPony causing slight destruction to the vicinity. He stood above the ghoul pony and bucked him sending his body flying down the halls.

Omnius then got up from the sound of the impact and scanned the partially destroyed surroundings,".....Buck I hate my job."

A certain yellow-white alicorn galloped curiously to the source of the noise," What's going on?!"

Charge then looked in shock and grabbed the pony," LIGHT! YOU HAVE TO GO! THIS PLACE IS NOT SAFE!"

" W-wha--" Light's sentence was interrupted as a tentacle whipped out from the darkness wrapping around his neck and dragged him into the abyss.

" Wha... the...buck?!" Light had said trying to escape the grip of tentacle. Futile was his attempts.

He soon was dragged long enough to meet face to face with the SlenderPony who then picked him up and stared directly into Light's horror filled eyes.

The alicorn became insane flailing his hooves everywhere, crying and screaming.

" This can't be good," Charge said.

Successfully hypnotizing Light, the SlenderPony phased through a wall leaving Mr. Charge to deal with the Alicorn once again.

" MOM! DAD! YOU KILLED MY FAMILY! NOW I AM GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!"

---------------------------------------------

Light's POV

Light had now re-experienced everything which had made him who he was a month back, Shadow.

In his eyes, he saw everything play through, the death of his countless family members, the blood which had stained his coat, his physically abused sisters and mother.

He was in a state of pure hatred, violence, rage and blood lust. Only one of the assassin ponies who had killed his family stood before him, Mr. Charge.

Light was obviously hypnotized thus making Mr. Charge one of his targets only aiming for him with magical spells meant to harm.

---------------------------------------------

" Oh no you don't!" Mr. Charge shouted dodging each and every spell. He grabbed Light by his neck and wrapped his hooves tightening them forbidding any air to pass through.

" I'm sorry Light, but you're going to have to sleep for a little while," Charge said laying the unconscious body on the floor.

"Omnius, take care of him til I get back," Charge ordered and fled the scene.

---------------------------------------------

Octavia, Legit, Shot, Lyra and I were all now in the cafeteria, gathering supplies and boarding up all doors with one Celestia and another Luna figure in the middle as a sign of protection from our beloved princesses.

" This makes no fucking sense! Why are we wasting our time boarding up the entrance and exit! HE CAN JUST GO THROUGH THEM!"

" Well as that might be correct, we still have these statuettes, so I doubt he will harm us," Lyra said.

" I don't know.... I tried those against Mr. Charge," I said with a chuckle.

[ Fucking useless ]

< I thought he was suppose to burn on contact with holy items>

" Yeah, we are fucking screwed! Game over bro! GAME OVER!" Legit complained.

"Shhh! Do ya hear that?" CrackShot said with his ears perked up.

*Tap Tap Tap* "......Hel....." We all listened to the sound of the voice as it wasn't able to refract through the thickness of the barricaded door.

" HELP!!!" The shout was now louder sounding like SeaBreeze.

I then stepped forward wanting to remove such objects and open the door.

Shot and Octavia held me back," What do you think you are doing?!"

" There is SeaBreeze behind that door! We can't just leave him!"

" We can't take any chances! What if the SlenderPony is using him as bait!" Lyra said.

The gears in my mind began to work a.k.a Kill and Joy.

[ Let's leave his ass there ]

< Yeah, I've seen way too much hentai to know where this is going >

{ Dude, that's a cartoon! Who clops to cartoons?!}

Kill and Joy's eyes opened wide looking passed through Graze and at us viewers and readers of this fic.

{ Uhm... What are you guys looking at?}

[< Nothing>]

" HOW DO WE KNOW THE SLENDER IS NOT CONTROLLING YOU?!" Legit shouted.

" HOW DO WE KNOW YOU AREN'T SEABREEZE!" Shot asked.

" BECAUSE, HE CANNOT TALK AND I AM FUCKING KNOCKING ON THE DOOR!" Breeze replied.

I looked at Legit and smiled," Seems legit."

Everypony facehoofed even Breeze behind the door," That was lame dude, now please would you kindly, FUCKING OPEN THIS DOOR!"

" WE CAN'T IT'S BARRICADED!" I shouted as I tried to move some piled rubbish out of the way," I AM SENDING CRACKSHOT!"

" WHAT?! Dude, are you seriously going to risk my life?! What if the SlenderPony comes! I can't use magic under pressure, you know that!"

" What are the chances of that now?"

" Uhmmm... FUCKING ONE TO ONE, SOME PRETTY BAD ODDS AGAINST US!"

" Just shut the buck up and get Breeze," I said pushing Shot.

" If I die, I am going to haunt your ass," Shot then teleported out of the room.

I heard Shot and SeaBreeze communicate through the door," Okay, let me just get a hold onto you and we can-- What is that tapping noise?"

"....Shot don't turn around just teleport, please!"

" What do you mean don't--"

* BAM BAM BAM*

" GRAZE OPEN THE BUCKING DOOR! OPEN THE BUCKING DOOR!"

" HURRY UP SHOT! JUST TELEPORT IT'S BARRICADED! YOU AR--AAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!"

* BAM BAM BAM*

" BUCK THIS! I'M NOT GOING TO DIE WITH ANY REGRETS! I'M SORRY GRAZE! I REALLY AM! AND OCTAVIA?"

Octavia wiped some tears from her eye knowing that she won't be seeing them again," Y-yeah?"

" I USED YOUR VIOLIN BOW TO UNCLOG MY TOILET!"

" YOU WHAT?!"

" I'm Sor-----" The banging on the door and shouting subsided.

" ......Shot?...... SHOT?!"

".........."

" C'mon guys we need to hide, quick!" I ordered as only Legit stayed," Dude! What the buck are you doing!"

" I am going to buy you some extra time! You don't have enough time! Just go and hide!" Legit said sacrificing his life.

" THIS IS NO TIME TO BUCKING PLAY HERO! C'MON LET'S GO!" I said rushing to him. I then noticed a tentacle appearing through the door undisturbed by the thickness of the barricade.

"Graze... We have to go, he has already made his mind," Lyra said pulling me away from Legit who stood brave, firm and unmoved by fear.

" May Celestia rest your soul in peace," I said teary eyed and heading off into a room, closing and locking the doors, as if they were going to be any help.

--------------------------------------

Legit took his stance by the two princess figurines which would hopefully provide him protection from the demon pony.

The SlenderPony's tentacles emerged first and second was his blank, white face which easily spotted Legit.

Legit stood tall and brave grabbing the two figurines as the SlenderPony walked towards him. Legit mumbled a few words to the figurines and then shouted to the SlenderPony a few inches away," MAY THE POWER OF CELESTIA COMPEL YOU!"

"........."

*Crickle Crackle Snap* Were the sounds of his bones, as his body elongated now placing fear into the pony before him. His head twisted, causing the mere neck muscles and bones to snap as blood dripped from his coat and through were his eyes and mouths were to be.

The blood stained his coat and face putting little detail in the SlenderPony. The tentacles grew taking an offensive stance,striking at Legit lifting him up face to face with the bloodied SlenderPony.

Behind closed doors, I grabbed Octavia and Lyra wrapped my hooves around both of their heads and ears cancelling out any sound that was about to be heard, a blood curdling terrified shriek which filled the entire school.

--------------------------------------

Luna and Cross used this night to do some extra sneaking around in CloudChaser's class while in the dark.

" Something is not right with that Art's teacher, let's just look around the class and find anything we can. Then we can go to the bar and get a small drink."

Luna sighed and nodded heading off to the desk. There on Chaser's desk she spotted various drawings....art....sketches....None of the things listed above were there. She spotted many portraits of herself! CloudChaser sketched various portraits of Luna, the one pony he admired.

Luna placed a hoof over her mouth to prevent herself from overreacting and squealing as her cheeks gushed red with blood," ....CloudChaser...."

RedCross then entered the room and saw his marefriend staring at the desk," You find anything? Is he in there? We are going to be late."

Luna then quickly turned around trying not to cause any suspicion," Uhm....No, no he isn't here and he just seems like a regular old teacher to me!"

RedCross now was curious and made his way to the desk which was obstructed by Luna.

"Please don't let Cross see those sketches, Celestia Please!"

The lights of the class then flickered on as Chaser entered the room humming a song and dropping a bag filled with art supplies," What the hay! What are you two doing in here?!"

He then spotted Luna by his desk, her face shaded in red as she shook her head signaling to calm down which he soon did and to not drag any attention to the desk.

" I'm waiting...."

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Was the shout heard coming from the cafeteria throughout the entire school.

" Just what was that?!" Luna said as her attention was now directed to the shriek.

--------------------------------------

Charge's ears perked up from the shriek and headed down the halls to the cafeteria as he already knew where it came from. His eyes then spotted a light coming from a certain class room.

" Just what was that?!" Luna had said.

Charge rushed into the room to see the three grown ponies before him," C'MON! WE NEED TO HURRY! THE STUDENTS ARE IN TROUBLE!"

Everypony in the room then rushed out following Charge as he rushed off to the cafeteria. CloudChaser stood above his desk and looked at the portraits," Why was I so careless?"

Luna popped her head out of the door frame," Chase, we have to go.... We can talk about what I saw later."

CloudChaser blushed and headed off with Luna to meet with the others already by the barricaded entrance with two unconscious ponies on the floor, Breeze and Shot.

Cross had tried kicking countless times to open the door. Charge then laid a hoof on Cross saying," I got this, just take care of SeaBreeze and CrackShot."

Everypony watched as Charge stared at the door building up energy. He took in a deep breath and exhaled shouting as he kicked," THIS IS! EQUESTRIA!!!!!"

*BOOM*

Every little obstacle which had blocked the path was now cleared while Luna, Cross, Chaser and Charge rushed in spotting the bloodied SlenderPony progressing to our locked door.

Chase called out," OI! RIGHT HERE SLENDY!"

The SlenderPony didn't even turn around to look at the ponies. His head had made a one hundred and eighty degree turn and literally slid, across the floors of the cafeteria which provided no friction.

He grabbed all ponies with his tentacles bringing them into eye contact,Charge and Chase shouted" No pony look at him!"

Everypony that was grabbed were now all forcing their eyes shut.

"..D..n't.......Resis..t," said a calm, hoarse voice as more appendages formed from the tentacles straining to open their eyes, staring into the SlenderPony's bloodied coat and where his eyes were supposed to be.

Charge was the first too look into his eyes.

--------------------------------------

Charge was now placed in a shallow water which consumed half of his body.

A voice called out," Roam your nightmares for 72 hours."

Charge looked down at the water seeing a bright red ball of flame, he then looked up seeing a meteor in the sky crashing down towards him.

"AGGGHHHHH!!!" He shouted enduring the pain as it continued over and over again, his body being enflamed and crushed unable to pass away.

--------------------------------------

Cross was the second to watch into its gaze.

"LUNA PROTECT YOURSELF! DON'T OPEN YOUR EYES AND CLOSE YOUR EARS!"

He blinked appearing in a different reality, all the colours that surrounded him were black and red. He didn't know where he was but he saw the SlenderPony infront of him.

Cross rushed towards the pony charging him in anger.

The coated pony just stood still and shook his head. The blood from his eyes leaked, pouring gallons quickly enough to flood the area within minutes.

Cross had no where to go except in the blood, which was slowly drowning him as he gasped for breath. He too felt the pain of drowning, as his body gasped for air only swallowing gallons of blood for 72 hours.

--------------------------------------

The next was CloudChaser. He was tied onto a cross, the area filled with black and white colours contrasting with one another between light and darkness.

He was restrained on the cross as his attempts to escape were only futile.

The beating of his heartbeat was clear and sounded through the entire area, the unknown area.

He blinked his eyes for just one second and soon, there were a dozen of bloodied SlenderPonies surrounding him.

Each of them had knives and nails," ...Wonder....How much can you endure...."

Slowly, one by one each pin and knife floated, slowly impaling his body causing him to scream as they removed it.

When removed, his cuts were automatically healed ready for more pain to endure.

One SlenderPony then came up to him, pushed a knife in and squeezed his hoof inside the cut slowly stinging Chaser.

Another floated a nail directly infront of his eye which only focused on it, knowing what he was going to do.

--------------------------------------

"AAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" All three ponies screamed, the loudest of them all seemed to be Chaser.

I tried covering Octavia's and Lyra's ears with my hooves crying as I heard the screams of my teachers.

[ Graze.... I know you're scared, fuck! Even I'm scared but we have to be strong]

< Self sacrifice, let the mares run and save themselves.>

{.... I know...}

I grabbed Octavia and Lyra and told them," You two, stay here and when I....When I get caught, it should give you enough time to run...."

"GRAZE B-BUT!"

" NO BUT'S JUST RUN!"

The two nodded as I reached for the door, opening it and rushed out. My rush was turned into a tackle as I saw the SlenderPony infront of me, my eyes staring into his.

--------------------------------------

" I saved... a special one for you..... 72 hours"

--------------------------------------

The light's of a room turned on and illuminated the area. Was I in heaven?

" Not...Likely.." said the SlenderPony.

I tried to move my body only to be known I was clamped down onto a table but something had caught my attention, the deep piercing pain of hooks in both my wings.

My hooves were dipped in water which was then connected to a powerful battery and metallic sponges.

" No....Sleeping..."

The SlenderPony then took a butcher's knife and chopped my wings clean off. The pain was unbearable! Was this everypony was experiencing?!

The pain was so intense I had wanted to pass out only to be shocked by the two sponges sending jolts in my body, the only thing keeping me alive.

He continuously tortured me by cutting off more appendages and my cutie marks.

"....My.....Collection...."

I remembered this nightmare! It was that story Kill had told me!

As soon as he was finished I had passed out only to be woken again with my body intact but still restrained.

This continued for hours upon hours! Until I finally heard a voice.

" DAD?! UNCLE?!"

"DARK?!"

[< UNCLE?!>]

"....Uncle?! What are you doing! LET THEM GO!"

--------------------------------------

*Thud*

I and everypony else had now awoken from the torturous nightmares, out of breath and cold sweat, scarred for life as a certain Lightning pony had just saved us.

" UNCLE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

"..............." The SlenderPony stood silent.

" Yes.... he is correct....I asked for him," Charge said a bit out of breath.

[ HE UNDERSTANDS IT?!]

< HOW THE BUCK DO YOU KNOW THAT THING!>

" There is a lot of fucked up stuff in the EverFree Forest," Charge answered Kill and Joy.

"WHAT ABOUT MY BUCKING FRIENDS?!" I shouted.

".................."

" He says don't worry, none of your friends are harmed, just severely traumatized," Charge translated the silent pony's words as the SlenderPony made his silent escape fading out as if he was never there.

Chase stood up vexated at Charge," WHY THE FUCK DID YOU BRING HIM HERE?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST BUCKING WENT THROUGH?!"

Charge laughed and chuckled," Don't worry we all lived and we can all tell our torture nightmares later. I made sure and told him not too kill you guys but too only severely traumatize and scar you all for life."

" So why did you put yourself in it dad?" Dark asked.

" Too make it seem like I wasn't the target, I know how all of you guys say I am the devil and what not. Honestly I don't give a fuck," Charge answered.

" But why?! WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING!" I shouted.

" All of you forgot my birthday, by the way hint hint, I like wrestling matches especially the upcoming one this weekend," Charge said leaving the room.

CloudChaser and I both facehoofed and said simultaneously," I fucking hate you Charge."

" I get that everyday. HA! And you guys don't trust me, I know."

[Moral of the story: Never forget Mr. Charge's birthday]
