Chapter 1

“Wakey wakey sleepyhead!” as a something hard smacked into my head.

This can’t be real.

“I said…WAKE UP!” and almost instantaneously cold water came splashing onto my face.

I…I won’t open my eyes..this is all a dream! It;s just a nightmare!

“YOU WANT TO DO THIS THE HARD WAY? FINE!” he yelled and pulled a lever, causing electricity to surge through my brain, arms, torso and legs. The pain was unbearable.

I let out a shriek of pain and opened my eyes. Darkness laid out in front of me. And then his voice came again.

“Finally. I thought you were dead. Well, if you were that wouldn’t be fun now, would it!?”

“Now, now Alex. Why the sad face? After all, your so called ‘daughter’ is here with you!”

No. No. Dear God please don’t be true. Not-

“Rainbow Dash!” he melancholied. “ Say hello to your ‘dad’!”

And immediately all the lights in the room turned on. I could see everything clearly now, the blood, the torture devices, the mad glee on the professor’s face. And then I saw her rainbow mane.

She was strapped to a metal table, her four hooves bounded back by leather straps. She was bruised and bleeding slightly, but she was a strong pony. The poor pony looked up directly into my eyes, and gave a weak reply :”D-d-dad..” And my soul shattered into a million pieces. I was lost for words, my mind was hazy. I felt the bile in my stomach slowly rising up.

“YOU SICK BASTARD!” I spitted out. “LET HER GO!”

“Why no no no no no NO! That’s not part of my game plan at all! You see, I ALWAYS, and never fail to kill the human and the pony… It makes everything…more fun. Seeing each other suffer from the torture, that’s what makes me happy!” and then he pulled the lever again.

I braced for the electrocution, but nothing came.

Instead, I saw Dashie struggling in front of me, in pain, as kilovolts seared through her. She let out a pitiful cry, and my world crumbled around me.

“STOP IT! KILL ME INSTEAD! JUST DON’T HURT HER!”

“Mhmm, daddy sacrificing himself for you Dashie! Very well then, I would start with you. But be warned, do not expect a quick death, I often like my mutilations SLOW and MESSY.” And a devilish grin etched upon his face.

The professor snapped on his surgical gloves, and swiftly, with Rainbow Dash looking while crying, he raised his scalpel and stabbed me in the left shoulder.

“AUGHHHHHH!”

Blood soaked my shirt as it came gushing out from the wound. He twisted the scalpel, driving it further into my shoulder, causing me to flinch.

“D-d-dad!”

A wide grin appeared on his face, showing the yellowish teeth hidden in his mouth. He slowly dragged the scalpel downwards, tearing skin and muscles alike. Pain seared through my body, and a shriek escaped my throat.

“Enough of that, man up!” he smirked. “Now time to attend to….Dashie.” again his nasty smile flashed across his face. “You ought to…take a nap.” And he jabbed a syringe into my other arm, injecting a transparent fluid into me. The anesthetic took over immediately, as the room around me started to spin. My vision blurred, and my senses doused.

I could barely make out what was happening. He was striding across the room, as his assistant, a disfigured colt, trotted into a room, and in its mouth gripped a portable buzzsaw. My head was throbbing, adrenaline rushed through my blood, I struggled to loosen the leather grips, but to no avail. The grips was too strong and the dose of anesthetic had further weakened me. The professor held the buzzsaw and walked towards Dashie.

The last thing I heard was the whirring start of the contraption, and a pitiful scream, and then my world was swallowed into darkness.
