Story Update (Flutterbat vs. Timberjack)

Hey there everypony! F1 here.

As the title states I'm giving an status update for the ever popular Flutterbat vs. Timberjack. Me and my fellow co-authors (fluttercord45 and Browneyedbagel have been on a roll for the next two chapters so be expecting them sometime in the next few days. But here's a little snippet for the next two chapter:

Chapter 02 part 02:

About halfway to Sweet Apple Acres, Fluttershy clenched her mouth tight with as she held her a hoof over her mouth.

“I must control myself,” she said to herself. “I must control myself. I…must…control…myself.”

She kept repeating this mantra, until she reached Sweet Apple Acres. Once there she bumped into Big Mac and asked him where she could find fresh apples. He pointed her toward the barn, stating that he just harvested a few of them earlier today. As she reached the barn door she let out a long sigh.

“Keep it together Fluttershy.”

She then slowly opened the door.

“Who is it?” asked Applejack

Fluttershy peeked her head into the door.

“Applejack, it’s me Fluttershy.”

She then saw Applejack turn and greet her with a smile.

“Hey, Fluttershy,” Applejack greeted. “Did ya need somethin’, sugarcube?”

As the scent of fresh apples hit her nostrils, Fluttershy tried to remain calm. As a result, she began to shifting around nervously.

“Um…I was wondering…if I could have some fresh apples?” she asked.

When she looked back to her, she saw Applejack gave her a tilted glance.

“Yeah, of course ya can. There some right over there,” she said as she pointed to a cart of fresh apples.

Once she gaze upon fresh apples, the sunlight that reflected off of them made the apples look simply divine. Fluttershy felt her eyes grow to the size of saucers as a little bit of drool started to trickle down her chin. She slowly felt her control start to slip as she began to lick her lips at the thought of devour all the apples in that cart. She quickly steeled her resolve and gave a little grin as she flew across the room to the cart.

“Thanks AJ.”

Applejack gave a warm smile.

“Not a problem Flutter-”

Before she could finish, Fluttershy quickly grabbed as many apples as she could carry and then flew out the door.

“-shy… What the hay was that about?” Applejack asked bewildered.

With her prize in hoof, Fluttershy then flew quickly back to her cottage.

--------------------------------

As Fluttershy arrived back to her cottage, she rushed upstairs to her room and locked herself inside. When she place the apples on the floor, she started to fall into a trance. She then began to devour the apples one by one. While she ate, Fluttershy felt herself start to change. Her normal long, flowing pink mane became jagged and darkened in color, her gentle cyan eyes were now crimson red, her yellow coat turn to a darker shade and her Cutie Mark was now three dark pink bats. Fluttershy was longer able to fight it any longer as her darker half, Flutterbat, was now in control.

With every apple she’d devour, she would spit out into a pile of dried out. With the final apple now gone, she began to lick her lips for any juice that might’ve escaped from her lips. While she did this, she then caught the smell of another apple that was coming from behind her. She turned around her head and narrowed her eyes as she saw the apple was in Discord’s paw. As she turned around full, Discord sported his trademark toothy grin.

“Well…well…well, what have we here?” Discord said, as he tossed the apple in the air.

Flutterbat gave a low hiss.

“I absolutely love the new look,” said Discord. “And just how long have you been keeping this from me?”

Flutterbat just hissed response, she quickly flew at him and grabbed the apple from midair. Within seconds, she drank it dry and spat it out onto the floor. With a hearty laugh, Discord snapped up another apple into his paw.

“Come this way, my dear,” he said in an alluring tone as he floated out of the room.

She then followed him close, while she kept the apple in her view.

“So, can you understand me?” he asked.

She nodded in response, never once losing vision on the apple. Intrigued, he then offered the apple to her.

”Can you still speak?” he asked.

Flutterbat shook her head and grabbed the apple out of his paw and devoured it once more. Once again, he snapped up another apple.

“So, about that timberwolf business…mind if we talk about it?”

The bat mare let out an angry hiss and quickly snatched the apple from his paw and flew to the ceiling and hung upside down.

“Hmph…guess not,” he huffed.

Discord then teleported up to her. As he hovered upside down, he saw her glare at him with her crimson eyes as she wrapped herself in her wing.

“So how long are you going to be this way?” he asked.

She doesn’t respond to him. Discord was at a loss as to what to do for her. But he soon felt a strange as he found himself lost in her ‘adorable’ crimson eyes. It felt as if he were under a trance, as he could’ve sworn she batted her eyes at him.

Discord, a bit lovestruck, gently placed his talon on her rough, yet somehow still soft, mane and slowly brushed it. In response, Flutterbat angrily hissed at him and biting his talon. Discord snapped out the trance, to see that she was now biting his talon. Her teeth were deep enough that it started to bleed. As he saw his blood hit the floor he was angry, upset or even terrified. He was just sympathetic.

“It’s okay…” he responded.

His reaction caught her off guard, as she tilted her head of confusion. While his talon was in her mouth, he used his paw to continue to keep brushing her mane.

“Even if you have a darker coat, pointed ears, sharp fangs, different wings and those lovely crimson eyes...You’re still my dear Fluttershy.”

Discord then leaned over to her and gave her a soft kiss cheek. This made Flutterbat slightly blush. She then quickly releases him and flew out of the room.

“Wait!” he called out.

Chapter 03 part 01:

Before they reached each other, Flutterbat leapt into the air to pounce on Timberjack. While she was in midair, Timberjack dug her claws into the ground and scooped up a lump of dirt. Before she tackle her, Timberjack dodged and flung the dirt in Flutterbat’s eyes. As she fell to the ground, Flutterbat hissed in pain. While her foe was temporarily blinded, Timberjack charged her. She then propelled herself into a vertical spin tackle and knocked Flutterbat into the nearby fountain. Timberjack then let out a mocking snort.

“Hey, that’s fighting dirty. Literally!” scolded Pinkie Pie.

With her eyes now cleared, Flutterbat took to the skies.

“What is she doing?”

Once she was high enough, Flutterbat dove at Timberjack. While she was diving, she tucked in her wings and began to spin clockwise. Confused, Timberjack took a defensive stance. As she descended, her body was wrapped swirl in case a swirling air. Just before she reached Timberjack she unfurled her wings to stop herself which caused the gust of wind rushed Timberjack. As the wind hit Timberjack is then sent flying toward the ground. Before she could get to her claws, Flutterbat came from behind her and pinned her to the ground. With a feral hiss, Flutterbat prepared to bite. Timberjack then wrapped her tail around hindleg and tossed her off of her back. As she hovered in the air, Flutterbat let out a loud hiss. Timberjack then growled at her as the two of them squared off.

“Girls! Please, you have to stop!” pleaded Twilight.

They both then glared at her with a hiss and bark, which made her flinch.

“What are we going to do twilight?” asked Rarity.

“Can’t you use a spell or something to change the back?” inquired Rainbow.

“Maybe, but we’ll need them to be still for a few moments,” answered Twilight.

They then turned to see the two of them still fighting and moving at an incredible speeds.

“That’s easier said than done Twilight. They’re moving way too fast. Even for me,” pointed out Rainbow.

“We have to think of something,” spoke Twilight.

Timberjack then charged Flutterbat with yet another spinning tackle. But prepared for it this time, Flutterbat was easily able to dodge her assault. With momentary opening, she then bite down hard onto Timberjack’s wooden back. With howl of pain, Timberjack then quickly slashed the chest of Flutterbat. This caused her to release Timberjack and fall to the ground. While she nursed her wound, Timberjack leapt in the air to pounce her. Flutterbat quickly reacted by delivering an uppercut that sent Timberjack crashing into a tree and falls to the ground. She then struggled to get to her claws. Just as she was to a vertical base, Flutterbat delivered a strong heabutt that propelled her backward. She skidded to a stop and glared at Flutterbat. As she looked at her foe, a trickle of blood ran over her right eye. As she wiped it off, she gave Flutterbat a smug grin and then charged her again.

'Til then, Later Days
