Dark warning
Can you help me create biotic fields? 51%
"Well, I was hoping you could help me to create a mass effect field?" Fluttershy asked. "Whatever I'm doing when I'm flying apparently isn't purely biotics."
Liara thought for a moment before asking a question. "What kind of places can you relax in?"
Fluttershy thought of the places which she would go to in Ponyville if she wanted to relax or just be alone. "There is this nice clearing close to the edge of the Everfree forest I used to go to where no-pony ever bothered me."
"So you like places with nature?" Liara asked, Fluttershy nodding in confirmation. "I think I might have a place where we could go," she told the pegasus while, once again, calling over a shuttle to bring them to the location Liara had in mind. While on her way there Fluttershy stared out of the window of their transport, she was pretty sure she was never going to not be in awe of the monolithic space station. Canterlot might be impressively perched on the side of a mountain but the Equestrian capital was only a tiny village compared to the Citadel.
Soon the shuttle made its way out of the ward they were on and turned into the central ring at the base of the station that housed the Presidium. The interior of the ring housed all of the embassies of various races along with the more wealthy inhabitants of the galactic capital, which meant that there was a lot more greenery than in the wards.
"This place reminds me of where I grew up—Thessia," Liara said as the two stepped out of the shuttle next to a particularly large park that had various groups of children running through it while a couple of parents were sitting by the side keeping an eye on them. Fluttershy had to suppress a squeal at the cute alien children as they tumbled around.
"I think this place is perfect," Fluttershy said as they walked through the park and found a reasonable secluded space between a bunch of trees and bushes.'
"I agree, we'll start here." Liara sat down in the grass followed by Fluttershy who sat down facing the asari. "I think the best place to start is to teach you a form of meditation," she told the pegasus who just listened attentively, "Close your eyes and silence your mind, let your thoughts flow out of your mind but do not force them."
Fluttershy followed Liara's instructions but had trouble keeping her mind completely calm, something Liara didn't seem to have any trouble with, though that could be chalked up to experience.
"Let your soul roam freely, unbind yourself from physical reality. Embrace eternity!" Liara continued, Fluttershy felt some kind of pressure against her mind just like she had in the Normandy but this time it didn't feel as invasive as it had done on the frigate. She tried steering her mind in the direction the feeling but couldn't get closer to it as she felt something holding her back, mentally turning to whatever seemed to be blocking her she suddenly found herself in a place she hadn't expected to ever return to—Cloudsdale Flight School.
"Wha-" the pegasus said as she was a filly again surrounded by cloud structures.
"Hey Klutzershy! What are you still doing here, haven't you learned your lesson yet? Mudponies don't belong here!" An awfully familiar voice said which made the yellow pegasus freeze in fear, three pegasus colts slamming down in front of the terrified pegasus. "Seems like we have to teach her a more thorough lesson, don't you guys think?"
Fluttershy wanted to scream, run, whatever, but couldn't as her entire body frozen in place. "How about we cut that hair this time so she can't hide behind it any more? I'm sure we can sell that much hair to a wig maker and get a pretty penny for it."
"Nah I've got something much better in mind. Boys, get her!" Hoops—the lead bully—said, making the other two jump forward and pin the pegasus to the cloudfloor. "A mudpony doesn't deserve wings like that," he said with a vicious snarl while pulling out a primary feather, Fluttershy tried to cry out in pain but couldn't as her muzzle was being held shut. Her eyes darted around looking for a particular cerulean filly as Hoops casually trotted to Fluttershy's other wing.
"Don't worry about Rainbow Crash, she won't be interrupting us today. We made sure of that," he grinned as he yanked a primary from Fluttershy's other wing, her cry once again being muffled by her closed muzzle. Tears flowed from Fluttershy's eyes as more feathers were pulled from her wings until only a few primaries remained and the two bullies that held her down released her, feathers strewn around around her.
Fear washed over her as she heard the bullies say something that didn't register in Fluttershy's mind. But just as the bullies shouted at her again the words of a female turian went through her mind.
I've got no clue why you seem to be as shy as you are but whatever caused it is something you need to work out
Suddenly all the fear within her evaporated and pure fury replaced it. She struggled back onto her hooves, the bullies laughing and taunting her further. Fluttershy felt something tingle around her wings and looked back at her mangled wings seeing a blue aura like that of a unicorn surrounding them. The bullies had gone silent as they saw the look of pure rage on Fluttershy's face.
"GO AWAY!" she shouted as she pointed the remains of her wings at the three bullies, the aura surrounded them and before they could do anything they were violently thrown backward. At the same time, the world around her collapsed and she found herself standing within the little clearing facing Liara...
...Only Liara had been thrown back a few meters and was rubbing her head.
Fluttershy meanwhile was still trembling and panting from the adrenaline that ran through her body. What she had seen hadn't been a hallucination but a memory, though in the real version of the event the bullies had left her to be found hours later by Dash. It had been the last day of school and would be the last time she would ever visit flight school.
After that day she was placed in a school in Ponyville where she would remain and live as isolated as possible until Twilight came to town for the summer sun celebration.
With the memory slowly fading away, blood drained from the pegasus's face. She had somehow managed to create a biotic field but then, in turn, had used it to attack her friend.
Oh no! What have I done! I just attacked my only friend here, she'll hate me! This is bad, really bad!
1. [Are you okay?]
2. Panic
3. Run away

I'm glad you're enjoying the story! If I manage to keep up with my ridiculous upload schedule then I'll have daily chapters for the coming while again.
I'm also glad you feel that you have control over the choices Flutters makes since I try to put a lot of care in giving options that all are attractive to choose.
I hope I can keep you entertained throughout the story!
I feel like I must hug Flutters, poor dear.
Another good chapter, looking forward to the next one.
Ok, so another reason why you do not mess with Fluttershy. If she can do that much without an amp and with no training, on her first attempt no less. I can just imagine Twilight asking lots of questions and taking all the notes. That also explains why she goes from shy to extremely aggressive in a split instant.
Do you think Fluttershy loyalty quest will be to head to her home and deal with a threat there? It would be interesting to see how the rest of the main6 react to combat trained powerful biotic Shy.
Oh dear oh my ... Well ... she did work that out ... unfortunate that there was someone in the way.
The interior of the ring
keeping an eye on them. Fluttershy had to suppress
Klutzershy
Hoops, the lead bully, said, makinf the other
wouldn't she have been a filly at that point?
With the memory slowly fading away, blood drained from the pegasus' face.
I hope you have something that says those bullies were found out and were properly punished.
The grey is a bit hard to tell from normal text on dark theme.
I will say, I figure biotics will give a better range of less lethal options than other paths.

The grey I'm using now was the only grey that was visible on both light and dark, just assume when you see [brackets] that aren't colored that they're grey

Similar not the same, I'm still ironing out the exact reason why the two worlds are so similar.

I've already partially figured out Fluttershy's loyalty quest, it won't be Equestria itself but it'll have a relation to it
Start of chapter: Bah! At this rate, this will turn into a romance-free playthrough.
End of chapter: Well, buck.

lol, almost every persons inner thoughts as they play ME1

I've been watching a playthrough of ME1 as I have been reading this and I have to say that Shepherd's romantic scenes seem pretty sudden and kinda forced from my point of view. I haven't noticed any build-up of these romantic feelings and then suddenly romance scenes appear. Maybe there were some hidden meanings in some of Shepherd's responses that I did not notice. Personally, I think ME1 could have done without the romantic scenes and have the franchise save that kind of content for the later installments.
As for Fluttershy, I feel like it's too soon for her to start thinking about any of the crew in a romantic way. It hasn't even been a month since she was hurled into deep space in a world with none of her friends, a number of different species that are unlike anything she has ever experienced, and technology that is more advanced than her world by millennia given the rate that technology in Equestria has been developing. I would think that at this stage, she would be continuing to overcome a heavy case of culture shock.
Canterlot being a village compared to the Citadel is nothing considering that both Manehaten, Las Pegasus and Filidelphia are canonicaly making the Equestrian capital look like a village already, sorry that this is the first comment on this story but that is true
Panic?
I hope Fluttershy get to kill this three one day...
9579064
Snd murder this three sociopaths...

Ripping of their wings by the socket at least.

What was the loyalty mission?

Wasted potencial indeed plus... Who is Shepards +1 ?!

With Tali and Garrus. Me also Wrex...
This wasn't bullying that was outright torture. Extreamly sick minded, hope the foal that tortured got into a foster family's away from their clearly mentally sick parents.
One can hope that the parents got what they deserve and that the law or the parents of Fluttershy take care of the problem.
