Silent Hill

As Cuppa opens the door, her radio begins to emit a loud constant static. Something knocks her back a few feet with a roar. She lands with only a scratch. Whatever knocked her back begins to walk towards the group. The group hears the heavy thuds of it slow footfalls and a scraping noise. Due to the lack of light, nopony is able to make it out. The scraping throws up some sparks, showing only a huge shape dragging an equally huge object.

=========================

With the light from Silver's horn lighting up the area, the three ponies are able to see their nearby surroundings. Instead of the almost new town, or even the slightly decayed version, they see an even more horrifying sight. The road is severly decayed. There are spots in which their are no asphalt, showing a rusty metal grid. On some of the buildings have dead ponies, hanging from barbed wire, on them. The bodies are severely mutilated.

dream lookied arond them in shock "what the hell is going on?" he wispered to the others.

Sky looked on to Dream and Silver, "I have no idea, this place is starting to change real quickly. We need to find the others, maybe they have better luck than us?" Sky said as she got closer to Silver and dream.

Arc stood next to the door when Cuppa sailed through the air and landed hard on the ground. Arc jumped next to Cuppa and pulled her back on all four. When she was good to go, he unfastened the sling on the prism rifle and tried to conjure light to see what he was shooting at.

"Cuppa, get back, will you?"
(Magic 44, Luck 6: Conjuring light from Arc's horn)

(Don't have a radio)
Cuppa was taken by surprise as she was flung back a few feet by something big and not very pleasant sounding. She felt Arc Weld helping her back up onto her feet, so she did as such before looking in the direction that she knew the station to be, only seeing a large shape dragging something that was making sparks as it was pulled. "What the hay is that!?" Was all she could yell as she hurried away from it and behind Arc.

"We can jus' run an' hide from this, right?" Was the next thing she said as she used her magic to grab her saddlebags from Bakewell and set them back upon herself, they all needed to run, and if Bakewell fell behind because her bags weighed them down, she would force herself to put up with the collar sitting in there.

Hopes of safety inside the station were quickly dashed as Cee was sent flying back by some monster that was surely huge and terrifying even if nothing could be made out in the darkness. The beige mare, remembering how nervous one particular scaredy-cat seeming group member could get, was quickly by Ember’s side.

The earth pony wasn’t exactly on her most stable nerves as is, what with the giant monster in front of them, so when she felt the saddlebags moving on her back the mare couldn’t help but let out a quiet squeal of panic before realizing that it was just Cuppa removing the packs and not some sort of big scary stealth monster about to drag her into the abyss. The fact that Cee was rejecting Bakewell’s attempt to be helpful by taking the saddlebag back barely registered in the face of their current threat.

“Maybe we can get it into a wide enough area to run around it?” The mare asked as she began uneasily creeping backwards. She wasn’t going to run for it until everypony else did, but even so standing still in the face of this giant unknown was hard if not impossible.

Silver stared in horror at what he saw. "I don't know about you guys, buuuut I'm gonna run to the police station and the safety of it's guns." Silver gallops to the police station hoping that Sky and Dream were behind him.

Arc successfully lights up a small area around him and the creature. With the aid of the light, everypony is able to see the creature.

It towers over everypony in the group by at least a few hoofs. It's body is a sickly gray/tan color, it's veins visible. It's wearing what looks like a skirt made of skin. Pony skin. The dragging sound is made by a giant sword that it possess. It's attached to it's front right hoof. It looks like it was welded there or it was fused it it. Where it's head would be is a big metal pyramid. It's elongated where it's snout would be, so it looks like it's pointing at you. Whether it's a mask, helmet, or it's head is unclear.

With a mighty roar, it rears it's hind legs. As it does so, all present can hear it nasty popping noises coming from it. It looks at Arc, the light bringer, and takes a swing at him. It misses and falls back down on it's hoof. It then slowly walk towards the group, sword dragging behind it.

The group can also see it's surroundings. Instead of the almost new town, or even the slightly decayed version, they see an even more horrifying sight. The road is severly decayed. There are spots in which their are no asphalt, showing a rusty metal grid. On some of the buildings have dead ponies, hanging from barbed wire, on them. The bodies are severely mutilated. On the police sign is a mess of barbed wire with ponies in police uniforms tangled in it. Some of their eyes still move. If one were to look into their eyes, they would tell tales of pain, torture, and damnation.

======================

Silver, Dream, and Sky are 3 blocks away.

Dawn grinned slightly, ignoring the vomit that persisted up his throat, 'well things are getting interesting' Dawn aimed the pistol at the monster, aiming specifically at the fleshy parts that consisted of the creatures legs. "When you hear the shots MOVE!!!" Dawn ordered his voice slightly ruffer then before 'what about the village everythig looks........... Different' Dawn squeezed the trigger three times before jumping away his wings flared out incase he needed to take flight 'which isn't a good idea by order of that old guy' Dawn shook his head clearing his mind of anything but the task at hand.

[Perception: 9, Agility: 8, Luck: 5, Guns: 45, rolling to shoot three times at pyramid head]

Sky just sighed and followed Silver, being in a small group is still good enough than being alone. They always needed guns, no matter what the situation was. "Guns are nice, but you have the key?"

Hmph... guess we have reached the daily quota for 'what the fuck?'..., thought Arc. Then he took one step closer and opened his mouth "Hello there, I'm sorry that we have entered so abruptly and..." which was opposed by the swing of the sword. Arc managed to dodge just in time, but is seemed there won't be much of a reasonable talk with the guy. The prism rifle was still ready though, and when Dawn started shooting, Arc joined him with his weapon.

"You heard him, get the fuck out of here, NOW!"

(Suppression fire on Pyramidhead, Prism rifle, EW 60, Luck 6)

Cuppa had backed up enough to not be in the way as this... thing was visible, it took all the mental fortitude she could spare to not scream in fear as she couldn't take anything lightly here, not with that in her saddlebags. "Worst time t' need the lil' mare's room.." She said quietly a moment after she managed to regain some composure.

Having been looking in the direction of the police station, Cuppa must've been the only one to have the misfortune to see the corpses strung up by barbed wire, causing her to freeze up for just a second to gaze at them with shock and horror, locking eyes with one of them just made the experience all the worse for her... Those ponies were damned by something, and it was horrifying to even consider what did this to them all.

It was the last straw for this unicorn, not even waiting for the gunshots as she broke out into a run, heading straight the way they'd come, a muffled scream filling the air as she couldn't hold back her terror. It was safe to say she didn't need the little mare's room anymore....

As light illuminated the tortured souls Bakewell quickly followed the advice the (Now solo) skull was screaming at her and forced herself to look away. This wasn’t real. These bodies couldn’t be real.

Through clenched eyes Bakewell was aware of the instructions, gunfire and… amare screaming? Bakewell’s eyes reopened widely as she swore she could somehow feel her pupils shrinking as she stared after the running mare. With all of the noise from both the weapons and the screaming combined if there were any other possibly worse monsters in the area they would surely be on the way.

“Forget shooting! It’s got a blade on it’s leg it can’t run that fast!” She called before taking off after Cuppa. “Cee, wait! You’re going to get lost on your own!”

As Pyramid Head slowly approaches the group, Blaze and Arc open fire. The first shot Blaze fires jams his gun, the trigger making hollow sounds as it's pulled. Arc fires his prism rifle. Whether it was from him dropping on the ground asleep or bad luck, a scratch on the prism sends the shot back into the rifle. It hits the spark battery, causing it to explode in Arc's face and make the gun useless. The explosion leaves Arc blinded and damaged. It also causes him to stop producing light, once again bathing the area in semi-darkness. Pyramid Head roars at the sudden onslaught of light. He rears back up and falls, sword aimed for Arc. Fortunately for Arc, the explosions light temporarily impaired his sight, and he misses. The fall and sheer might of his swing leave the sword imbedded in the asphalt.

Arc: Blinded for 2 rounds or until medical treatment. Received 15 damage.
Pyramid Head: Unable to move or attack for 1 round.
=======================

Silver, Dream, and Sky are 1 blocks away. They are only able to see the explosion, not the creature. They also run into Cuppa and Bakewell.

As Silver runs, he sees an explosion. A second after words, he runs into Cuppa. Literately. Silver fortunately is able to keep his light spell going. "Cuppa! What are you doing? What are you running from? And where is everypony else?" He then sees Bakewell. "Hello Bakewell. What's going on?"

Sky looked to where they were running, to see the explosion in a block away. Only to stop as silver ran into Cuppa, then sees bakewell run after her. Ok bad idea for the ponies to split up, but on the plus side it seemed they will all be together again.

Arc aimed and hoped for the beam to punch through whatever device was atop the thing.

Flash of light.

Pain spiking around his face and chest.

A roar from the thing, a painful roar.

The light wasn't subsiding, but he could hear the thing stomp closer. Run.
He could hear Cuppa, at least he though it was Cuppa.
Been worse. Been worse. Been worse... ran through his head. He Galloped as fast as he could, stumbling often on the uneven pavement, but he always got up, always managed to keep moving.

"CUPPA! BAKEWELL! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Bakewell stopped when Cuppa ran into Silver and gave Silver’s group an odd look.

“I-I thought you guys were going to leave?” She asked before shaking her head. There were more important things at the moment.

“We were at the police station. Some kind of odd… I guess maybe you could call it a pony, but not by much... broke through the door and attacked us. It seemed too powerful to take on, so we ran.” She explained. “The others should be right…behind…us…” Her voice petered out as she turned and stared. Nopony had followed them. In addition, she swore she could hear Arc calling her name, but maybe that was just her imagination. She was scared that trying to respond would draw things to their location.

“We must have gotten split up! We need to go find the others!”

Sky looked on to bakewell and with concern, "The others didn't follow, we need to go help them out, and we didn't leave cause we couldn't leave. A messed up pony standing on hits hind legs attacked us, spewed acid of sorts at us and we killed it. We need to find the others, i got a weapon thats good enough. Ill go help out in taking out that pony thing you said bake, if you think we need to get the others, then lets go." Sky said in a rush as she wanted to help Bake with getting the others, waiting for her to lead on to the group.

Dawn grinned slightly feeling again his sanity to bleed away from him, the guns trigger refused to pull again, a simple, Dawn could fix that, but even in his state of mind he knew that was a terrible idea. putting away his pistol Dawn noticed that the enemy and his friend were both, indeed dazed, pulling out his ten millimeter Dawn blind fired at the beast, not caring whether it was jammed or still worked, Dawn made his way to Arc.
[Agility: 8, Luck: 5, Guns:50, rolling for one shot at P.Head]

"Hey there I think you forgot that i'm still here." Dawn gave a small chuckle grabbing the unicorn's mane with his teeth, " sorry if this hurts...... But just follow where i'm pulling." Dawn began to tug at the unicorn as lightly as he could without ripping of the unicorn's head off his shoulders. Hoping that the monster wouldn't spontaneously slash at him with that sword of his,Dawn continued to Drag Arc as fast as he could.

[Strength: 5, Endurance: 6, Luck: 5, rolling to drag Arc from P.Head]

Cuppa only knew that she was running before she found herself colliding with Silver Tongue. Having found something to grab onto that happened to be the unicorn she crashed into, Cuppa was quite clearly past the point of just being shaken up and was terrified. "Bbb-b-biiiiii-ig a-an' sc-sc-sc-aaaaaa-ary... shhhhh-sharp... m-m-metal-l-leg. P-P-ponies... Cau-caught i-i-in-n b-b-barbs a-a-aaan' w-wires!" The mask wouldn't help in making sense of what she was trying to say, but she was flailing one of her fore-hooves the way she came.

Able to hear what Bakewell had been saying, Cuppa gave up on trying to explain and pointed at her after the muffled stuttering began.
Then the brown unicorn heard the explosion of something, and the shouting of Arc Weld, calling for both herself and Bakewell, trying to find them. It caused the mare to cringe as she couldn't manage to focus on anything, not even registering that she still had the collar in her bag, she still remembered what she could only imagine she'd seen in the eye's of those ponies strung up by barbed wire. Her speech only starting to clear up. "Th-them ponies... S-So m-m-m-muuuch pain...."

"we got to help them!" dream called rushing tord where the exploshen had come from, as thoughts started froming in his head, dark thoughts. why shude i care about the others, its not like i can gane something from them... dream brushed the thought off as he ran

"What do you mean creature? You mean there's one here to? Sky's right, we need to go help!" Silver pulls out his 9mm and runs towards the source explosion.

Pyramid Head struggles to pull out his sword leg. Dawn lines up his shot and takes it. Miraculously, it fires. It, like most things in life, work better when you just say "Buck it" and keep doing whatever. it pierces Pyramid Head's flesh, causing him to roar out in pain. Blaze runs over to Arc and grabs him, despite his flailing. Blaze guides/carries Arc in the direction Cuppa and Bakewell ran off. A few steps away they run into those that came back to help.

Pyramid Head: 278

Sky flew off into the direction of the blast, with her 10 mm Smg in her mouth and ready to be fight whatever the others were fighting.
