//------------------------------// // Fight for her life. // Story: Survival // by Doctah WAAwee //------------------------------// These pathetic wolves, there suppose to be ruthless intelligent apex predators .... 25. You bury your claws in one of the wolves and rip it in half, tree sap ruining your white shirt. The other wolves have a look of shock, and they smell of fear...24. How can these...things ever even think of harming Fluttershy? The only thing she ever did to the animals in this forest is help them... "I wonder how good this sap tastes..." You taste the sap... it gives you power. You leap into a timberwolf and rip it's neck apart with our enhanced teeth, Draining the delicious sap from its body. But since your teeth aren't designed to suck liquids, most of it dribbles down your neck and chest...23. "This infernal shirt..." You rip off the shirt and are in the process of standing up... but you notice your just as comfortable on all fours then when your standing on two legs. Your claws long retracted you notice that your nails are thicker, curved, and can also be extended. You smile wickedly. "HOW ABOUT A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE!" So you on all fours run towards the five wolves around Fluttershy, and rip into them with your newly acquired tools. Three fall without any hassle, but the other two start to put up a fight, good...20. "I don't want to fight anymore... but you left me no choice..." One timberwolf tries to jump and bite your shoulder, you let it. It bites down and you rip its body off and use its wooden leg to swing at the second timberwolf, pieces of wood and sap flying everywhere. Your shoulder heals right after... 18. All there is left are the encircling wolves. You... feel something moving inside you, and you go on all fours because of the pain. Then you see it, a bloody tail made out of bones (Think of the chain rod from megaman zero 2). It is very long and you guesstimate that it's about three feet longer than your body height. "Lets see what you can do..." You stand up and extend your knuckle claws and blast towards three timberwolves that dare make a step towards you and the pony you're protecting. You use your tail to stab a wolf in the neck and it pathetically drops. You realize these wolves will just drop if you so much as flick them. So you decide to retract your long claws and just punch and kick them, its much more humane. So you kick one if the stomach... and backhand the other one in the face... 15. "What am I doing!? I want them to feel PAIN!" But these claws are getting boring, you decide to use your tail and shorter finger claws. Two timberwolves jump towards you, but you pierce both of them with your tail, they fall apart. Another one tries to go move towards fluttershy but you go one all fours, sprint to them, and crush its head with your hand...12. Some of the wolves you struck down start to come back together, and when they do they run back into the forest. "They've learned there lesson, now let's get back to the...huh?" Your tail draws your attention, the tip has lines going though it. then something happens, the tip separates into a hand.... "SO...AWESOME /)^3^(\!" You decide to use your new "handy dandy" appendage and grab the wolf closest to you and throw it into another one, they both fall apart when they collide. "Oh yeah! Two points!"...10. "Now... lets see what I can do here." You turn your tails tip back into a point and pierce another wolf and turn it back into a hand inside the wolf, making parts go everywhere...9. Three wolves try to sneak towards fluttershy. So you grab the one closest to you rip it in half and throw the pathetic leftovers into the two that are running...6. Finally, wolves decide to forego strategy. Five wolves rush you, you extend your longer claws and make the tip of your tail turn into it's more "handy" form. You claw into two of them, coil around another one with your tail and squeeze...3. The two leftover wolves are so surprised that they trip over a tree branch, they drop and fall to pieces...the said tree had, what looks like, a troll face on the side. Well, looks like the everfree forest has a sense of humor...1-. "HAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" The lone timberwolf howls and the parts of the not yet reconstructed timberwolves start to move towards it. It starts getting bigger, trees and other vegetation start to be absorbed into the wolf. You remember the "king timberwolf" from season three, but you also remember that it was beat by a pebble to the throat... "No, I want to fight this being, perhaps he was beaten so easily because of luck... I don't need such a crutch." "ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The ground shakes and you smile in excitement. It brings down a huge paw and you side step it. You decide to taunt the beast and slap your ass repeatedly. "Hey, tree humper! Right here, nya!" You decide the old "slap on the wrist" technique could work, it does. The big wolf trys to slap you off, but you use your tail to grab onto it's underbelly and swing to safety, spiderman would be proud. It breaks it's own paw when its other paw collides. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" It howls in pain. You extend your long claws and climb onto its back and decide to run up to its head, running your claws though its back while you run. It try's to shake you off, but you go on your belly and pierce with your claws. It decides to roll over and try to dislodge you that way, it works and you flying into a tree. "You clever bastard, I knew you weren't all bark!" "Well you are but that's beside the point!" "ENOUGH GAMES! THIS ENDS NOW!" You lunge at the beast with your long claws out, and jump into the air aiming for its legs. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Ponyville before the king timberwolf fight ********************************************************************************************* "Hey Mac, AJ! Have you seen Fluttershy around? It's been a while and she's not at her house." A cyan pegasus, commonly known as Rainbow Dash, asks to the two farmers as there doing there daily harvesting of the best apples in ponyville. "Noope" The big red farmer says, true to his silent personality. "Ahm a might sorry there sugercube. But ah haven't seen hide nor hair a her" The cowpony says, SOMEHOW, fanning herself with her stetson hat, hot after a hard days work. "Oh, well that sucks... I hope she's not hiding from her shadow somewhere in a bush. I need her to check up on tank." Rainbows says. "Ah reckon she's with Twilight. Ah do recall that she borrowed ah book from her, somethin 'bout animals. Can't seem to remember what though." Appleblonde says, bucking an apple tree. Its juicy payload falling in perfectly into the bins placed under the tree. "Oh, well i'll check with her then" Dash says. She is about to fly off to Golden oaks, the library where purple smart lives in. When she is stopped by Applejack. "Hold your horses there sugercube, ahm about done with them here chores. Ah'll join you." Applejack says. "Oh, alright then... race you there." Dash says, with a competitive gleam in her eyes. Applejack then proceeds to pull out her lasso and give's Dash a blank stare. "Oh alright! I'll still beat you though!" "Ten bits proves you wrong?" Applejack says and spits on her hoof before holding it out. "Your on!" Dash says and spits into her own hoof before hoof bumping Applejack. The lasso is tied around her wings, and they run off towards the library. When they're out of sight, Big Mac turns his head to the direction of the everfree. "...Somthin don't feel right..." Big Mac says and walks toward the barn, the wind blowing his mane to the side. ... "Something... doesn't feel right." Twilight says while pulling her head out of a book, looking at the direction of the everfree forest. Her thoughts are broken by two of her more... competitive friends bursting into the library, ruining the purple librarian's precious silence. " Ha! Ah win Dash! Can git tha farm some new chicken feed!" Applejack trots in the library with a victorious smirk on her muzzle. "No fair! Ditzy Doo crashed into me when I was ahead!" Somewhere in the distance a faint "my bad!" was heard. "That mess Ain't mah fault, you should have been focusin ahead instead of ogling that there wonderbolts poster you passed by!" Applejack said Rainbow was about to rebuttal before Twilight teleported in between them. The sudden arrival scared the living daylights out of the bickering mares, both of them screamed and toppled to the floor. "HEY! Stop your fighting! Friends aren't suppose to fight, also, this is a library, keep it down!" Twilight says while both appleblonde and rainbow recuperate. "Heavens to Betsy twi! You almost scared the cutie marks off Ah me!" Applejack says and stands up. "I wasn't scared!" Rainbow dash said, quickly picking herself up. "*Snicker*Is that right sugercube? Then what was that there scream Ah yours?" Applejack said, barely containing her laughter at Rainbows reaction. "A statement of surprise!" Rainbow dash quickly said. Applejack then returned to the floor and started laughing. "Hey! It's not funny!" Rainbow dash said and leaped on to Applejack, they started a wrestling match before Twilight pulled them away from each other with her magic. "Did you hear what I just told you!?" Twilight said. Applejack and Rainbow started to laugh. "No fair Twilight! That's cheating!" Rainbow said in between laughs. "Ah agree with that there statement." Applejack says and continues to laugh for a little while. Twilight lets them down, and Applejack takes the rope off of dash's wings. "Now, why are you two here? Oh are you here for the latest edition of Daring Doo Rainbow?" Twilight asks, Rainbow dash's wing pop out in excitement. "It's here!? Aweso- wait, that not what were here for! Have you seen Fluttershy around lately? Can't seem to find her any-" "ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" A roar was heard in the distance, startling the three friends. "W-What in tarnation was that!" Applejack says. Holding a hoof to her heart to try and calm it down. "I-I don't know, but it is coming from the direction of everfree!...wait you don't think-" Twilight was in the middle of her sentence before Rainbow dash interrupted. "Fluttershy might be in trouble!" Rainbow dash about to fly out the window (who needs doors?) until Applejack grabbed bit down into her tail and stopped her. "Woah! Keep ya horseshoes on! You can't go into the everfree all by yer lonesome! We have to get all the girls together!" Applejack says, still holding on to Dash's tail. "Applejacks right, we need to get the girls together. I've been feeling some magical disturbances in that area for a while now. We should get all the girls, and send a letter to Princess Celestia." "Kay twi, Dash you git Pinkie and ah'll get Rarity, lets git er done!" Applejack exclaims. "Got it!" Rainbow says, gives her a salute and fly's off to get Pinkie, while Applejack runs toward Rarity's boutique. Twilight then proceeded to get a quill and piece of parchment and began to write. Dear Princess Celestia, I've been sensing a small influx of magical energy in the everfree forest today, and was about to just pass it off. But it then became a huge spike and wild influxes in the same place I felt it before hand, It also has come to my attention that Fluttershy has gone missing. Rainbow Dash and Applejack came to me with worries about Fluttershy and where she was. Then a massive roar sounded, and it was also in the vicinity of the magical anomalies. We suspect that Fluttershy might be there, and me and my friends are going there to investigate. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. "Spike! I need your help, I have to send a letter!" Spike descends the stairs. Yawning all the while. "*Yawn* hi Twilight, what was that sound? It woke me up..." Spike said, slowly going towards twilight. He then incinerated the letter, and the dust went towards an open window. The response to the letter was conveniently swift. My faithful student, I must admit that I also have been feeling these strange anomalies in the everfree also. I and a platoon of royal guards will assist you in the search and investigation. I will also bring the Elements of Harmony, we cannot be too careful. Princess Celestia. "The princess is coming to, and with the elements? Wow, something big must be happening in the forest." Twilight says Applejack was Galloping as hard and as fast as she could to get to rarity's boutique, when she saw the door she ran into the fashionista's place of business. "Welcome to the carousal boti- Oh my, Applejack! Darling are you fi-" Rarity is cut off by Applejack. "There ain't no time for your fancy fru-fru clothes! There's trouble in the everfree, and Fluttershy might be in the middle of it. Now get your fancy flank in gear and come on!" Applejack says. Rarity puts a hoof to her mouth. "Oh my stars! Poor little Fluttershy in trouble!? Well, we must be going now!" Rarity followed Applejack out of the store, but locked up her boutique first. ... Pinkie (who was bouncing in place constantly), Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Rarity (who was quite tired after the run) were all on the boundaries of the everfree forest. "What are we waiting for!?" Rainbow dash said, all the while flying circles around the group, her patience wearing thin. "Were waiting for-" Twilight was about to answer before Pinkie interrupted her. "Silly filly! Where waiting for the princess and her big scary guards to come with us!" She said joyfully. As soon asthe pink party pony said that the sound of a chariot touching down caught the ears of the five mares. "Princess!" Twilight said and ran up to her teacher. Celestia and Twilight both shared an affectionate nuzzle before the princess of the day spoke. "Greetings my student, are all your friends here?" " Yes princess they are...well except for one" Twilight's ears dropped and she had a sad look on her face. Worried about the safety of her shy friend. "I share your concern Twilight, but that makes this search all the most important. Come now, we must not waste any time." Celestia says, putting her wing over twilight to comfort her. "Okay princess lets go." Twilight says. Smiling at her benevolent teacher before joining her friends. The guards encircle the group, and they head into the everfree forest. ... ... "RAHHHHHHHH!" The giant wolf screams in pain. It's cry's are getting weaker as you continue your assault. Two of it's legs are useless, one of them broken and one of them viciously cut of by your claws. "Not so tough now huh! Time to end this!" You grab your tail with your hands, and use it as a whip to cut its last hind leg three deep gashes, sap running out of the wounds. The giant wolf cannot hold itself up any longer and it falls to the ground. "You've been a worthy opponent wolf but now, even though you don't die, feel the SHAME of losing!" You run up to it's face and jump as high as you can. As you are falling towards the wolf's face, you start to spin. The wolf try's to get up, succeeding in lifting its head up from the ground... you land on the ground and slowly walk away, not looking back at the wolf. The wolfs neck explodes in a mess of sap and bark, its head falls off... it was a perfect slice...0. You finally done with this ordeal look at Fluttershy... she is cowering with her back on a tree looking at you in fear... poor Fluttershy, she's so innocent... so frail... ... ... ... So vulnerable. Her fear it... smells so good. You feel a pain start to go throughout your mind, your time is almost up, you no what you have to do... you must... EAT HER. You lunge towards her and grab her by the neck and lift her up, tail posed to make the kill as swift and painless as possible. "I saved your life... now you owe me yours...don't worry, take pride in the fact that the magic inside you will help me...survive the upcoming days... i'm sorry... but this is for my own good." Her face is a look of fear, tears fall down her face as she try's to struggle out of your grip. "N-n-no... p-p-please don't..." She begs you, but they fall on death ears as you thrust your tail forwards and end her life. ... ... ... ... Or so he thought. The tail's tip stops dangerously close to her forehead, and you let go, she is still paralyzed in fear. "...Leave...go..." You say tears in your eyes. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? HER ENERGY WILL LET US HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT SURVIVING THE WHIPLASH THIS TRANSFORMATION CREATED TO OUR MIND!!" "Leave now Fluttershy! Before I lose what little sanity I have left!... GO NOW!" Fluttershy runs as fast as she can, due to her injured wing and vanishes from sight in about two seconds. "YOU FOOL! DO YOU REALI-" You inturrupt "I will not...let you...control...me-" The aftereffects of the transformation finally come... and your mind shatters into two pieces. You body drops onto the floor with a thud. "You...fool. I underestimated you... now I have to do this... the hard way."
