The sound of approaching steps alerted it of approaching prey. Slowly it retracted its tendrils and waited. Soon it could sense a single figure walking directly toward. It pulled its bulk further into the shadows and waited for its opportunity.
Its prey stopped just out reach and stood there. The Tangler waited, hoping its prey would move closer. Quietly it shifted its bulk and prepared to strike; then its prey spoke.
“Hey there good times! Thought I’d find ya here? What are being all bashful about?” It’s prey giggled. “You want to have some fun.”
It’s prey took a step forward. Now it could strike. It shot two of its tendrils out at its prey; one connected and quickly wrapped itself around its soon to be meal. Its prey squirmed a little but didn’t struggle. As the Tangler pulled its meal toward its now gaping maw its prey spoke again.
“Ah honey you’re always the same! You’ve watched too many movies from Japone.” Slowly lifted its prey off the ground. It’s mouth was already opening and closing in eager anticipation of feeding.
“I thought tonight we’d try something different dear?” Said its prey. “Let’s try it my way!”
In one smooth motion its prey pointed a snub nose .357 revolver into its eyeless head and unloaded all 6 explosive bullets into it. The Tangler convulsed then went limp dropping its prey to the floor. After a couple seconds of struggling Pinkamena freed herself from the now limp tendril. She wiped some the ichor that had splattered on face off and giggled again.
“Well I had good time! We have to do this again in the future. Taataa!”
The Pinkamena emptied her revolver of spent casings reloaded and continued sauntering on into the darkness.
Another moment from the MLP dream/movie. After being captured and tormented by the invaders that poured into Equestria from the Realm of Shadows.
